CANCER FACTS *** If current trends continue, cancer is
expected to be the leading cause of death in the United States by the year
2010. One in five persons in the U.S. will die from cancer. Every three minutes, two people in the U.S. die from
cancer…Approximately every 5-seconds someone in the world dies from cancer (04/2008) The deaths caused by cancer in the U.S.
for 2008 based on the above statistic is as follows:
Note: The actual count will be much higher. We estimate the
actual count for the U.S. will be somewhere around 500,000 + The American Cancer
Society reported 12 million new cases of malignancy diagnosed worldwide in
2007, with 7.6 million people dying from the disease (December 17, 2007) World Cancer
Deaths for 2008 currently exceeds 2.5 million and counting (May, 27,2008) |

The
Physiology of Cancer Cells
I am not going
into serious detail about cancer cell physiology, but I am going to cover some
considerations you should know.
White blood cells
(leukocytes) attack and destroy "foreign" cells like cancer. Cancer
cells are coated with a protein lining that prevents white blood cells from
destroying them. An enzyme is a catalyst, a chemical that allows
"food" to be broken down into constituent nutrients. There are many
kinds of enzymes that participate in hundreds of chemical processes in the
body. The two enzymes most responsible for breaking down animal proteins are trypsin and chymotrypsin. They are not
needed to break down vegetable proteins. The body produces these and many other
enzymes for such work in the pancreas. Take special note in the following:
All people have cancer cells in their bodies. These cells are normally
killed off because trypsin breaks down the
protein sheath protecting the cell, and then white blood cells attack the
remaining cancer cell and destroy it. Thus, enzymes
like trypsin are the body's first line of defense against cancer.
Enzymes are
absolutely critical to the digestive and nutritional processes in the body. The
source of enzymes is FRESH unprocessed food. Examples are fresh vegetables, nuts, berries,
grain, fruit, and meat. As long as these foods are fresh, the enzymes in them
help us to digest them and convert them into fuel for the body. If the food
sits too long in the open air, the enzymes start breaking them down before they
enter our body. Enzymes (and bacteria) thus cause the "rot" process
characteristic of spoiled food. Without enzymes, the process is slowed down or
eliminated altogether.
Enzymes can be
destroyed by heat. If you elevate the temperature of any food above 137 degrees
Farenheit (Note:
prepared restaurant meals must be served at 180 degrees or higher, this
destroys most if not all the enzymes in the food), you will destroy the enzymes
in it. This will make the food much harder for your body to digest. That is one
reason you should take digestive enzyme supplements if you eat a lot of (or
mostly) cooked food.
A
major problem with cooked meat is that it’s high in protein
content and zero in enzyme content (unless it is rear). It is also highly
acidic.
This massive amount of animal protein requires the enzyme trypsin to digest.
The body can only produce so much trypsin. If all the trypsin is being used to digest
animal protein, then little or none is left to break down the
protein lining on cancer cells, and the cells start to flourish and
multiply because leukocytes cannot kill them. We have destroyed the natural enzymes in the meat
by cooking it, and we deprive the body of its precious trypsin supply by ingesting
the meat. Now you can see why a diet high in cooked animal protein is carcinogenic.
And note this: trypsin
and chymotrypsin are defensive enzymes, not digestive enzymes. They are being conscr*ipted
into servitude in the process of digesting animal proteins when they should be
left to their defensive work of killing cancer cells.
Other kinds of
foods contain chemicals that can also help destroy cancer cells. This second line of defense against cancer is made up of these compounds
called nitrilosides. For example, amygdalin is a nitriloside contained in apricot kernels (refer to Topic #13), apple seeds, grape seeds, grasses (Wheatgrass (REFER TO Topic #23)), and other foods. Nitrilosides work like
this:
Cancer cells contain an enzyme called beta-glucosidase that converts
nitrilosides
into two molecules of glucose,
one molecule of benzaldehyde
(extremely toxic to the cancer
cell), and one molecule of hydrogen cyanide (somewhat toxic to the
cancer cell). Normal body cells
contain the enzyme rhodanese
that converts nitrilosides into food. Only cancer cells contain beta-glucosidase. Thus only cancer cells can
convert nitrilosides into benzaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide, and the process kills the cancer cells while it only nourishes
normal cells! This is a target-specific reaction. It does not adversely affect normal cells.
Over the past few
hundred years, man has turned heavily from grains like millet that are high in nitrilosides to processed food that are
low in nitrilosides like white flower used to make bread, cakes, donuts that
most Americans eat several times a day. Furthermore, livestock used to graze
heavily on grasses high in nitrilosides, but now are kept in feedlots where
they are fed harvested grains laced with growth hormones and virtually devoid
of nitrilosides. Our diets are higher in animal protein (from feed lot beef,
pork, and chicken) than at any time in the history of the world, and lower in
nitriloside-bearing foods than ever before. Now you can see why cancer is on the increase and why
it is so rampant, 1 out of EVERY 2 males and 1 out of EVERY 3 females IN THE U.S. will experience some form of cancer IN THEIR
LIFE if the necessary changes are not made in their daily diet and nutrition
programs.
What
our medical researchers are doing is somewhat backwards and
wrong. They should be convincing us to go
back to the kinds of food
that inhibit cancer rather than finding more drugs that treat
cancer. Now you can see why most of their work is in vain, like trying to use a
Band-Aid to patch a hole in the dyke!
Perhaps the only
real cure (and the easiest cure) for cancer is to prevent it with a diet containing
vegetable (but no animal) protein, and plenty of fresh uncooked food high in
nitrilosides and enzymes.
It is important to
know that nitrilosides must be transported to cells, and
facilitated in their work of destroying cancer. Zinc is necessary for nitriloside
metabolism in killing cancer cells. Nothing heals
cancer in the body in the absence of Manganese, selenium, magnesium, calcium, zinc (THESE ARE KNOWN
AS THE FIVE (5) ELMENTS OF LIFE - WITHOUT THEM LIFE CAN NOT EXIST) and other minerals, enzymes, and vitamins C, A, E, and B (including B17 or laetrile)
. They are essential to healing and good health. You cannot be deficient in
any of these important nutrients and maintain good health or DEFEAT cancer.
And, the best way to get them is in FRESH UNCOOKED FOOD. If you have cancer, you
ought to make sure you eat these foods every day, preferably by juicing them,
and get plenty of enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and nitrilosides.
Acid & Alkaline Cell Physiology
This is a must reading
for cancer patients on the importance of eating a balanced acid and alkaline
diet. Herman Aihara is a Japanese scientist, and he is one of the
founders of macrobiotics. Here is a short section from his book:
"According to modern physiology, this is true for all humans, as I
mentioned previously. Our body cells are surrounded by fluids which should be
slightly alkaline in order to sustain life. If you go jogging or do heavy
exercise, you experience shortness of breath, tiredness, and muscle stiffness.
This is the result of the production and accumulation of lactic acid, which is
in turn the result of the incomplete combustion of glucose.
In other words,
under conditions of heavy exercise the body is not getting enough oxygen to
metabolize glucose. At such times, the pH of the blood will be around 7.26 -
7.27 instead of the normal 7.3 to 7.4. This is an acidic condition of the
blood. This kind of acidity is corrected by the body's buffering system, which
changes strong acids to weak acids and eliminates them as carbon dioxide (CO2),
which we exhale as part of our breath.
If the condition of our extracellular fluids, especially the blood, becomes
acidic, our physical conditions will first manifest tiredness, proneness to
catching colds, etc. When these fluids become more acidic, our condition then
manifests pain and suffering such as a headache, chest pain, stomachache, etc.
If the blood develops a more acidic condition, then our body inevitably
deposits these excess acidic substances in some area of the body such so that
the blood will be able to maintain an alkaline condition. As this tendency
continues, such areas increase in acidity and some cells die; then these dead
cells themselves turn into acids. However, some other cells may adapt in that
environment. In other words, instead of dying - as normal cells do in an
acid environment- some cells survive by becoming abnormal cells. These abnormal
cells are called malignant cells. Malignant cells do not correspond with brain
function nor with our own DNA memory code. Therefore, malignant cells grow
indefinitely and without order. This is cancer.”

How the body reactions to a disease
What
takes place in chronological order
1.
ENERVATION - is a state in which the body is either
not generating sufficient nerve energy for the tasks it has to perform, or the tasks
may be greater than the normal nerve energy supply can cope with. The body thus
becomes impaired and generates less nerve energy. All the body's functions
become impaired and this includes the processes of elimination of both
endogenous metabolic wastes and the exogenous poisons introduced into the body
(such as in our chemicalized foods). This impairment results in further
diminishing the body's ability to restore depletion of nerve energy. This
situation results in a condition called toxemia or toxicosis.
2.
TOXICOSIS - occurs when we overload the body with
toxic materials from the outside, or we fail to observe our capacities and
overwork, get insufficient sleep, or are subjected to great stress, or when any
number of other factors deplete the body of nerve energy or prevent its
sufficient regeneration. For instance, stresses, emotional shocks, or traumatic
experiences can drain our bodies of nerve energy very quickly.
3.
IRRITATION - the body unloads its toxicity at various
points in the body. Irritation takes the form of itchiness, edginess,
uncomfortable feelings, etc. Any toxic material, be it salt, caffeine, or
condiments will irritate or stimulate. This is a condition wherein the body
sets in force its defensive mechanisms and accelerates its internal activities.
A burst of activity will result in an effort to rid the body of these unwanted
irritants.
4.
INFLAMMATION - the toxicants have usually been
concentrated in an organ or area for a massive expulsive effort. It is an
evidence or symptom of increased and intense body activity directed at
cleansing and repair. It is a healing activity. If drugs suppress
this eliminative effort, the toxicity increases until other organs become
saturated - not only with this toxicity but with the drugs administered as
well. This fourth stage of disease is the body's most intense effort to cleanse
and restore itself. The following degenerative stages of disease will result if
the causes of general body intoxication are continued.
Note: These are the first of four (4)
noticeable indicators that signify that something is wrong internally with our
body, if its not caused by an injury. The other three (3) are mentioned next.
With each comes a higher level of concern.
5.
ULCERATION - the poisonous matters have begun destroying
cells and cellular organizations (tissues). This condition is often very
painful as there are exposed nerves. The body may use an ulcer as an outlet for
extraordinary toxic buildup thereby relieving itself. It will heal the ulcer if
causes are discontinued, or if the toxicity level is lowered significantly.
6.
INDURATION - is a hardening where the body creates
tumorous tissue (a kind of scar tissue) to bridge the lost tissue and to
encapsulate the poisonous materials that are destroying it. The hardening of
the tissue around them scales off the ulcer and the toxic materials. This is
the way of quarantining the toxic materials, often called tumor formation. It
is this condition that is often falsely diagnosed as cancer. If the steps
mentioned below are followed at this point, the condition can largely be
repaired or reversed. Should the pathogenic practices, which brought matters to
this stage are allowed to continue then the next step is sure to occur.
If we are at stage #7 it’s because we have
failed to recognize any of the other six (6) stages in the progression of a
disease
7.
CANCER - the final stage of disease. Body
vitality is at a very low ebb; cells are no longer under the control of the
body's master control system, the brain. They multiply wildly in an unorganized
manner without purpose. They may be giants or dwarfs and they draw their needs
from the bloodstream without contributing to body functions. Cancer cells are
parasitic cells.
The sooner
we are able to recognize that something is wrong. The longer we have to rectify
the problem by the uses of Alternative Methods of Healing before modern
medicine intervenes.
CANCER FACTS *** More than 1.2 million Americans develop
cancer each year. A new cancer is diagnosed every 30 seconds in the United
States. Since 1990, nearly 15 million new cancer cases have been diagnosed... (04/2008) |
END OF TOPIC #1
WITH CANCER THERE ARE 3 BASIC GOALS
Pervasive techniques that many holistic doctors and homeopaths lean
towards
The battle
with cancer is truly fought at the cellular level. It's a very common belief in
the alternative treatment community that a person can cleanse their body of
both toxins and microscopic invaders, radically changing their body's internal
environment back to a healthy one in a relatively short bit of time. I have
done it twice now in my life.
Goal #1 – Immediately Stop Cancer from Spreading and Start Killing Existing
Cancer Cells Immediately |
Goal
#2 – Rebuild the Immune System and Damaged Tissue, so the body can
naturally transform or expel any tumorous masses. |
Goal # 3 - Eliminate the causal factors that destroyed the immune
system in the first place. |
Goal #1: Stop the Cancer: It's believed by many
homeopaths, that stopping the cancer virus from multiplying and spreading
further, takes only days or weeks. Pervasive techniques that many holistic
doctors and homeopaths lean toward are:
Body Cleansing - very
important!
|
Energy Therapies
|
Oxygen
Therapies |
Extreme
Diet Approach |
Extreme
Nutritional Supplements |
Although success rates with rife technology (energy), ozone (oxygen), and
herbal body cleansing are nothing short of ironclad proof for defeating cancer,
the FDA, AMA, and the special interests do NOT recognize these protocols.
Goal #2: Rebuilding the Immune
System and Damaged Tissue: If the body has cancer, then its low on oxygen, its pH
balance is very acidic and it has a lot of cell damage. So a person needs to
rebuild the immune system by oxygenating the cells; balancing the pH; providing
the nutrition the body needs to optimize cell function, balance hormones, and
dramatically stimulate healthy cellular replication. It is believed that anyone
can transform damaged cells back to healthy cells in a short amount of time.
This can be accomplished by:
High Potency Nutritional Support |
Dietary
Changes |
Achieving
Goal #3 |
Goal #3: Eliminate
Toxins From the Body and Diet: The theory is very simple
- remove the poisons that created the problem in the first place, and the body can begin
the healing and rebuilding process. The issue here is simply how dedicated will
a person become, because this can mean a complete lifestyle change
for many.
If a person can achieve a fairly poison-free body, they just may be astonished at the improvement in their overall physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. To do this, the following simple tips are sure ways to make big changes.
Drink only clean water! (Clean well water, home distilled water, ozonated water, high quality filtered water) |
Eat only whole foods whenever possible. No fillers, pesticides, antibiotics, etc. AVOID SUGAR, caffeine, alcohol, and red meat! "Juice" whenever possible. |
Body cleansing is important. Especially the liver, gall bladder, kidneys, bowels and parasite cleansing. |
Eliminate exposure to toxic chemicals! There are PLENTY of safe household products to replace that bleach, isopropyl alcohol, ammonia, laundry detergent, carpet cleaner etc... Ex: Use ONLY borax for clothes and carpet, citrus or oxygen cleaners for counters, windows, etc... READ THE LABELS on your cosmetics, toothpaste, and all personal items! This is very much a LIFESTYLE CHANGE! It's takes time to replace everything in the household with all-natural products, but once it’s done it becomes second nature |
If possible, add "hexagonal" water to your daily intake. Nothing is more cleansing to the overall body than true hex water, and it provides much needed oxygen ans a high pH. |
Exercise. The myriad benefits of regular exercise have been documented 1,000s of times for decades. Stimulating metabolism is very helpful when trying to purge toxins and infuse nutrients. Exercise improves just about EVERY bodily function there is. GO FOR A WALK. |
CANCER FACTS *** Lung and prostate cancer are the top cancer killers for men
in the United States. Lung and breast cancer are the top cancer killers for
women in the United States. One in two men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with
cancer at some time during his lifetime. One in three women in the US will be
diagnosed with cancer at some time during her lifetime.... (04/2008) |

Colon Hydrotherapy - highly recommended especially for those fifty (50)
or older
Many people want to
understand these 3 forms of hydrotherapy: colon hydrotherapy, colemas and
enemas. “Hydro-” means water and all three are a form of water therapy. Each
introduces water into the colon or large intestine and allows water and waste
to exit. In each therapy, water has the potential to reach the cecum or
beginning of the ascending colon.
The ascending colon is the
beginning of the large intestine and is located in the lower right quadrant of
the abdomen. The ileo-cecal valve connects the cecum, or lower portion of the
ascending colon, to the ileum of the small intestine. The appendix is in the
lowest portion of the cecum below the ileo-cecal valve.
Colon size is approximately
1 gallon in volume. This varies depending on the size and condition of the
individual colon. The amount of water needed to cleanse the colon may be equal
to but is most often less than the amount of water the colon holds. Water and
massage stimulate the muscle response called peristalsis before the entire
tract is filled. Sometimes elimination happens by the stimulation not just by
water volume. The key is to get the muscles working.
The water pressure with each
type of intestinal hydrotherapy is less than one to two pounds per square inch
(psi). Most often, it is less than one-pound psi. The water moves in and around
the contents of the colon and helps soften, loosen, rinse and hydrate them. The
muscles respond to the water and to abdominal massage if it is used. Peristalsis,
or the involuntary expansion and contraction of the intestinal muscles, can be
strengthened each time the muscles respond.
The large and small
intestines of many people are impacted, dehydrated, in spasm and gaseous. The
large and small intestines may have extra length, coiling or redundancy,
adhesions and locked or lethargic muscles. Hence, the water does not go the
entire length of the colon immediately or easily. With whatever system is used,
people work on getting the contents out little by little. The hydrotherapies
fill the large intestines and in most cases are prevented from entering the
small intestines by the ileocecal valve, the one-way gate between the large and
small intestines.
Colonics, colonic
irrigation, colon therapy, high colonic and entero-lavage are synonyms for
colon hydrotherapy and occasionally the terms are used interchangeably. Colon
Hydrotherapy uses equipment to introduce water into the large intestines or
colon and release waste and water.
Two kinds of equipment
exist. One is the “closed-tube” system. The other is the “open-basin” system. I
will refer to them as the Closed and Open systems. The water source for both
the closed-tube and open-basin may be either water pressure or gravity
depending on the manufacturer and company. Water filters are used with both
types of equipment. Equipment can have from two to six filters. Two to four
filters are installed for the hot and cold water lines. UV light and activated
carbon/charcoal filters are also used additionally with some equipment.
Water temperature is
controlled with the temperature gauge. The water is generally kept close to
body temperature. Water can be used at warmer and cooler temperatures for
additional therapeutic effects. Water pressure is controlled on the “pressure”
systems and is monitored with a pressure gauge.
The cost for a session
ranges between $35-75.
Closed-tube Pressure Colon
Hydrotherapy System
With the closed-tube
pressure system, the water pressure can be adjusted for each inflow. This means
water enters the colon very slowly or potentially less than 1/2 psi (pound per
square inch).
Volume of Water:
Studies show the range of
water to be from two to six liters or quarts that are introduced into the colon
during a colon hydrotherapy session. Some individuals take up to 40 ounces on
one inflow. The majority of people do not exceed 70 ounces on one inflow. The
upper range on one inflow can be 110 ounces. This is usually reached after
several treatments and only then by 20% of the people.
Position of
Recipient:
The standard position for
colon hydrotherapy sessions is resting on the back with knees bent and feet on
the table. Alternate positions include lying on the right and/or left side or
rotating through all 3 positions.
Note: a licensed professional must perform this
procedure. There should be one in your area.
CANCER FACTS *** Cancer is the second leading cause of
death after heart disease in the United States. It is the primary cause of
death in women between the ages of 35 and 74. About 8,000 American children
will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Cancer is the chief cause of death
in children between the ages of 1 and 14.... (04/2008) |

program are the standard and optimum versions. These versions substitute all
solid foods with the Lemon Detox drink. This is the quickest and most
effective way to cleanse and rid the body of toxins as
you are focusing your inner body’s energy to cleanse and eliminate toxins from
your system. Eating solid foods on the program will impede in the overall
cleansing process and this why other versions will take you much longer to
yield results. Some people, when thinking about detoxing for the first time
imagine that they won’t be able to make it through seven days but what most
people find is that after the second day it just gets easier and easier. This
version is also convenient because a one 1-litre can of the Madal Bal Syrup
lasts most people 7 days.
The Optimum Version (For those more experienced in detoxing)
Doing the diet for 10 days will ensure the body is well cleansed. By the time
you get to the 7th day you’ll most likely feel so good that going a few extra
days will be easy. Going 10-14 days will give you the maximum result by keeping
your body in a fasting mode for the fullest length of time but should only be
done so with the consent of a healthcare professional.
The Relaxed Version
The relaxed version allows
the body to purify itself at a slower rate, while still taking in some solid
food. Try substituting either breakfast or dinner (or even better, both) with
2-3 glasses of the Lemon Detox drink.
Have a healthy meal at
lunchtime but abstain from eating sweets, processed foods, red meat, fried
foods, white bread, refined flour, dairy products, coffee and alcohol. These
are all food products that tax our natural digestive/ cleansing system and
inhibit the body's ability to deal with previously stored toxins and wastes.
The relaxed program works by lengthening the time each night that the body can
cleanse. This offers the body more time to rejuvenate. The relaxed version is
for those whose lifestyles cannot incorporate a full detox program, for those
who wish to try the Lemon Detox Diet but are unsure if they have the capacity
to last 7-10 days without solid food, or those who would like to do a relaxed
version in order to prepare themselves and introduce the standard or optimum
version.
But this
version should be done over an extended period, at least a month, and it should
be understood that while the effects of the relaxed version are not as dramatic
as the standard or optimum versions, performing the relaxed version for an
extended period of time will yield great results

This consists of:
1. Three days on the Relaxed Version, followed by
2. Three days of the Standard/Optimum detox program,
followed by
3. Three days of the Relaxed Version.
This is the
easier way to initiate yourself into the detox if you have never done it
before. It also suits some people’s social commitments rather better.
The "Once a Week"
Version
Most of us never give our digestive and eliminative organs a break. Day in and
day out we place a continuous load on our system. Taking a break "Once a
Week" gives our system a chance to rest and cleanse for a day. Going
without solid food for a day isn't too difficult and people who have practiced
this program have had good long-term weight-normalization results.
To do this version pick one day out of the week and drink only the Lemon Detox
drink throughout the day. Do this for six weeks or more.
The Master Plan
Many people who have tried the Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup have liked the
results so much that they wish to make cleansing and the Lemon Detox Diet a
regular part of their lives. The total detox incorporates the benefits of
cleansing “Once a Week” plus a half-yearly multi-day cleanse. Performing a
half-yearly multi-day cleanse gives the body a chance to detox and heal itself
from the stresses put upon it. You gain the maximum results of the lemon detox,
cleansing your body of accumulated wastes and toxins and losing excess weight.
Performing the “Once a Week” version of the lemon detox after a multi-day
version helps the body to maintain its toxic free condition and is a great
on-going cleansing routine.
A person who fast regularly and practice longer fasts a couple of times a year
have reported miraculous results in physical, mental and spiritual health.
Here is what is needed:
The Lemon Detox Diet is a
drink consisting of the following:
1. Madal Bal Natural Tree and Palm Syrup
2. Fresh squeezed lemons
3. Cayenne pepper
4. Purified water.
Note: All of these
ingredients are necessary in completing a successful program.
• Madal Bal Natural Tree
and Palm Syrup - The most important ingredient, A combination of the purest South East Asian palm syrups and Canadian grade C maple syrup.
The natural tree syrup gives us energy during the cleanse in the form of an
easily digestible carbohydrate and the palm syrup adds a rich mineral content.
Note: DO NOT USE STORE BOUGHT MAPLE SYRUP
Caution: Consideration
must be given to those who are diabetic. I’m a diabetic and don’t use the syrup.
• Lemon Juice -
Lemons have been used for thousands of years for their medicinal value. The
acidity of the lemon juice has an alkalizing effect on the body helping it to
break down fats and mucus. Lemon juice also adds a tremendous amount of antioxidants
and vitamin C.
• Cayenne Pepper -
Cayenne pepper is great metabolizer assisting with the cleansing effects of the
lemon juice. Cayenne pepper adds a nice zing to the drink, but more importantly
it also helps dissolve built up mucus. It adds heat to the system and thus
stimulates circulation, helping the blood reach remote areas of the body, so
important for effective cleansing and elimination. It is also a good source of
Vitamin A and C.
• Purified or distilled
water - The use of clean, pure water carries all of the ingredients through
the body, giving the body an internal bath and carries away all of the released
wastes and toxins. It also keeps the body hydrated during the detox.
• Two small tablespoons (or
20 ml) of Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup.
• Two tablespoons of freshly
squeezed lemon juice (about half a lemon). Use fresh lemons, not lemon
drink or concentrate.
• Half a pinch of cayenne
pepper (adjust to taste).
Mix the ingredients and
dilute with at least 250ml of purified water.
** If you prefer you can
prepare one batch of Madal Bal Natural Tree and Palm Syrup and Lemon Drink to
last for the whole day.
How to make a week supply of
the Lemon Juice Detox Drink (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
• 140ml of Madal Bal Natural
Tree Syrup
• 3 ½ freshly squeezed
lemons (I juice 4-whole lemons)
• 3 pinches of Cayenne
pepper.(Adjust to taste).
Mix
the ingredients and dilute with 2 liters of purified water
The amount of lemon juice should
be approximately the same amount as the Natural Tree Syrup in the mix.
You may drink the Lemon
Detox drink cold, room temperature or warm.
During the standard detox, drink as much as you like. Ideally 6 to 9 glasses a
day or whenever you feel hungry.
People who are very physically active whilst on the program may increase their
daily intake or add more syrup to the mix.
Remember
that the Lemon Detox Drink is liquid food, both nourishing and energizing. It
provides the body with the required minerals and nutrients whilst on the
program
Fluid intake is the key
to the program. The detox drink will
satisfy your hunger and give you energy.
After
the first day or two on an all-liquid diet like the The Lemon detox diet, the
body most likely will not produce a bowel movement.
However, while cleansing, it is important to try to have at least a couple of
bowel movements a day. To assist with this, a mild laxative herbal tea is
recommended.
Drink
one cup of tea in the evening before bed and the sea salt water in the morning.
The laxative tea will help break up solid intestinal wastes, and the salt water
will flush them out of the system. Some people find that certain laxative teas
induce cramps, so be sure to start with a mild brew when trying it for the
first time.
Regarding the sea salt-water drink…
As it is necessary to bathe
the outside of our bodies, so it is with the inside.
The sea salt-water drink
will produce a bowel movement because its salinity level is similar to the
salinity of our body and therefore cannot be absorbed inside our digestive
track.
The salt and water will not
separate but will stay intact and quickly and thoroughly wash the entire tract
in about one hour. Several eliminations will likely occur. The salt water has
the same specific gravity as the blood, hence the kidneys cannot pick up the
water and the blood cannot pick up the salt.
That is why the sea
salt-water drink is such a great laxative. When mixing the sea salt-water
drink (two teaspoons dissolved in one litre of warm water), make sure to use
uniodized sea salt and not table salt! You should try and drink as much of
the 1 litre drink as possible. Finally make sure you stay near a restroom for
the next hour.
If the taste of the salt
water is uncomfortable for you, you can substitute it for another cup of the
herbal laxative tea instead.
Drink
the sea salt water first thing in the morning.
ELIMINATION
(The Key To Success)
Eliminating the toxins in your
body is the key to a successful diet.
Elimination is the extraction of wastes from the cells, and the transportation
of this waste out of the body. The better the elimination, the better the
results.
Waste in your body that is not continuously removed will be reabsorbed
through your system and continue the cycle of auto intoxification..
I recommend you drink at least 1-2 litres of water in
addition to the rejuvenation drink, to effectively flush the system. The more fluid in your system the
less concentrated the dissolved toxins will be on your eliminative organs.
Any problems, which occur
during the Lemon Detox Diet, are usually the resulSt of inefficient elimination.
Brushing your skin and light exercise are also a great complement to the diet.
It helps the elimination process by increasing blood flow and perspiration of
toxins through the skin.
Skin
brushing
Skin cleansing and detox are
essential for eliminating pesticides and other drugs and environmental
chemicals. Approximately 10% of body elimination occurs through the skin,
working in conjunction with other organs of elimination such as the colon,
kidneys, and lungs. If one of these organs is stressed and not eliminating
waste products efficiently, a greater burden may be placed on the remaining
organs. This is why people with chronic constipation often have skin conditions
such as acne.
Skin cleansing and detox are also an integral part of the treatment of multiple
chemical sensitivity (MCS), pesticide and chemical exposure, and chronic
fatigue syndrome (CFS). As a preventative measure, it is used by healthy
couples who wish to decrease their stored toxins prior to conception.
Skin brushing facilitates skin cleansing by stimulating the lymphatic system to
eliminate toxins through the skin. It also improves blood circulation
throughout the body and removes dead skin cells and debris that clog pores.
Many toxic substances are eliminated through the skin. Lightly brushing the
skin with a dry brush stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation and removes
dead cells to promote elimination. Use a soft bristle brush. Start brushing at
your feet and brush towards the heart, since it is important to follow the flow
of lymphatic fluid.
Instructions
1. Use a long handled natural
bristle brush. You can find one at the health food store. If you are unable to
find one, use a loofah sponge.
2. Start at the soles of your feet. Using light pressure, brush in small
circles from the legs towards the chest, palms of the hands towards the chest,
and then the back towards the abdomen. Finish with the scalp.
3. Avoid the face, breasts, and other sensitive areas. Skin brushing can be
done in the morning or evening by itself or before a contrast shower.
THE CHALLENGE
The main challenge of the Lemon Detox Diet is mental. With any type of diet we
need to be mentally prepared to change our eating habit even for only a short
period of time. Because we are so adapted to eating whenever and whatever we
like, the discipline of going on a liquid diet without solids can seem a bit
overwhelming.
Some people, when thinking about detoxing for the first time imagine that they
won’t be able to make it through seven days but what most people find is that
after the second day it just gets easier and easier.
A true fast is a complete restraint from food of any kind, yet the Lemon Detox
is liquid food - nourishing and energizing. It is important not to burden the
body with solid food during the detox. Digesting solid food consumes much of
the body's energy and reduces the effectiveness of many of its other tasks. In the
short absence of solid food the body can focus its energy on cleansing.
When you experience hunger simply treat yourself to another Lemon Detox
drink. This will satisfy your hunger. Keep thinking of all the benefits you
will have achieved once you have finished The Lemon Detox Diet.
Having a friend or partner with you on the diet will help you motivate in
reaching your personal goals.
Another advantage of being on the diet is that you will have a lot of extra
time on your hands. If we calculate how many hours of each day we spend buying
and preparing food, as well as eating and cleaning up afterwards, it is amazing
how much time we devote to food consumption. You will also notice that you will
be saving hundreds of dollars on food and alcohol by the end of the week and in
the long term you could be saving thousands of dollars on food and drinking as
most people will kick their bad habits and introduce a more healthier diet and
eating patterns.
The Lemon Detox Diet will give you more time to do the things you enjoy. Go out
and enjoy the positive effects of the diet.
Seven
maxims of rejuvenation:
1. Be inspired.
Remind yourself of all the positive reasons why you have chosen to embark in
this program. Make a list. Remember it is your choice, and you will reap the benefits.
2. Be sensible. Follow closely the directions in this document.
3. Be strong. Abstain
from eating or drinking anything other than the Lemon Detox drink, occasional
selected herb teas and citrus juices, laxative tea and pure water.
4. Be practical. Proper
daily elimination is essential: consume the required amounts of the Lemon Detox
drink and water and use the laxative tea, salt water and skin brushing as
additional aides.
5. Be wise. Remain active, physically and mentally. Exercise
regularly but gently, pursue your favorite hobbies, explore new horizons, stay
entertained.
6. Be careful. Ensure
a soft landing in the transition back to regular eating by carefully following
the directions when completing the program
7. Be happy. Remain
cheerful throughout. You have to keep yourself company, so be fun to be with.
Your happiness alone will brighten the world.
Since the digestive system
has been resting for five to ten days, treat it carefully and considerately at
the conclusion of the program. The transition from The Lemon Detox drink to
regular food has to be undergone steadily.
The most common mistake is to eat too much too soon.
Gradually return to healthy eating over two or three days.
Day 1 Stick with
fresh squeezed fruit juices.
Day 2 Start the
morning with juice and then try some pureed vegetable soup for lunch.
Day 3 Steamed or
raw vegetables. Do not eat any meat, fish, eggs, bread and sweets and do not
drink soft drinks during the first three days.
Day 4 Start eating
"normally" again.
If you are
coming off a shorter version of the diet you should be able to do so in one day
but listen to your body. You will know if you are coming off too fast. Take
your time. You will probably notice that your taste buds are much more alive
after cleansing and you will really enjoy the taste and energy of juices,
soups, and then vegetables.
It is up to you if you would like to continue to drink the Lemon Juice Detox
drink while returning to “normal” eating.
Below is an example of a gradual return to normal eating after concluding the
Lemon Detox Diet program. Keep in mind, although that you have completed your
desired detox program there may still will be toxins circulating in your system
and the elimination process is still in process. The white coating on your
tongue may still be visible at the conclusion of your program.
As you return to “normal” eating over the next few days you still will be
detoxing at a slower rate. Many people take advantage at this time and choose
to introduce a “relaxed version” or a “once a week” version coming off the
“standard” or “optimum version” of the program.
During the first three days, do
not eat any meat, fish, eggs, bread and sweets.
do not drink soft drinks, caffeinated tea
or coffee.
Day
one
Start the day with a glass of the Lemon Detox drink and one orange.
Mid morning: Fresh orange juice.
Lunch: Fruit or vegetable juice.
Tea: Fruit juice or a glass of the Lemon Detox drink.
Supper: Fresh pureed vegetable soup
Day
two
Start the day with a glass of the Lemon Detox drink and one orange.
Mid morning: Fresh orange juice
Lunch: Vegetable soup and fresh fruit
Tea: Fruit juice or a glass of the Lemon Detox drink.
Supper: Steamed vegetables, brown rice and salad.
You may also have any herbal teas without caffeine during the day.
Day
three
Any breakfast cereal (porridge with Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup is delicious)
with one spoon of Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup, and one orange.
Mid morning: Fresh orange juice.
Lunch: Roasted vegetables and fresh fruit
Tea: Fruit juice
Supper: Vegetable soup, brown rice and fruit salad.
You may also have herbal tea without caffeine during the day.
Day
four
From the fourth day you’ll be ready to eat “normally” again.
One of the delightful side
effects of The Lemon Detox Diet is a heightened awareness of the sensations of
taste and smell. By the time you’re ready to eat solid food again, your
intensified appreciation of the subtleties of taste, texture and fragrance will
make this simple experience so much more delectable. Savour the moment.
Usually the first sign that
a person will see and feel as a result of a toxic condition in the body is
weight gain.
Excess weight loss is the most common side effect of the detox program. Many
people lose excess weight without any secondary negative effects. This is
because the body is receiving all the essential dietary elements and does not
suffer from any real deficiencies. The principle effect is the detoxification
of the organs of the body, and at the same time, the body rids itself of
superfluous fat deposits.
In past tests, 77% of those who followed the diet lost 4-10 kilograms in 10
days, while most of the remaining 23% percent lost between 2-4 kilograms.
During the cleansing stages of the detox program, the body finds its natural
balance, shedding excess weight without harming healthy cells. Most of the
weight loss comes from the dissolving of fat cells, where most of the body's
toxins are stored.
The Diet is not
recommended for sufferers of anorexia.
Should you be slightly underweight, however, do not be fearful of losing a
little more. The only materials the body can lose during this program are
mucus, excess fat, and waste. Healthy tissue will not be affected. If you are
slightly underweight, you may notice that you will lose a little more, but once
you come off the diet your weight will quickly rise to normal. The weight that
is lost during the Lemon Detox Diet is mostly from fat or damaged diseased
cells. This is real weight that is lost. And
will this weight that is lost stay off….
After detoxing the body
regains its natural balance of elements and is better able to maintain its
optimum weight. The fact that ones weight after the diet is maintained proves
that most of the weight loss is due to a release of toxins which were stored in
our fatty cells. It is normal to put on between half a kilogram to a kilogram
after the program as the body regains its natural balance, but most of the
weight lost will usually stay off.
Those who have performed the
detox have experienced it for themselves and described the phenomenon as if
‘the fat dissolves almost literally’.
One of the true great benefits of the Lemon Detox Diet is that people will kick
their bad eating habits and addictions. By the end of the program, most people
will feel so good, healthy, vibrant, and amazed because their body has cleansed
itself of all this built up “junk” in their system. As most bad eating habits
are purely addiction, whilst on the cleanse your body has time to break these
addictions and people will not want to go back to their old eating habits as
they will realize what a difference this program has made and many people will
begin to crave healthy foods.
The vast success of this program in over 40 major countries around the world
and its 30-year strong presence along with the thousands of testimonials from
around the world proves its status as one of the finest and best recognized
cleansing and weight management programs in the world. And up until today, medical authorities say they
have yet to see any evidence of harm from the Lemon Detox Diet.
"Although there can be considerable weight loss on the
Lemon Detox Diet, please be advised that this is not a weight loss
diet. If you have concerns about excessive weight loss please
see a practitioner”
Liver, Kidney
and Gallbladder Detox and Stimulation
F.Y.I. You will need to increase your daily intake of
potassium and magnesium while performing this enema, as it will deplete these
minerals that are vital to the normal functions of these organs |
"In
as much as detoxification of the body is of the greatest importance, especially
in the beginning, it is absolutely necessary to administer frequent enemas, day
and night (on the average, we give coffee enemas every four hours, day and
night, and even more frequently against severe pain, nausea, general nervous
tension and depression)...Some patients take enemas every two hours, or even
more frequently, during the first days of the treatment. More advanced cases
are severely intoxicated and the absorption of the tumor masses, glands, etc.,
intoxicates them even more. Many years ago I lost several patients by coma
hepaticum, since I did not know, and therefore neglected, the vital importance
of frequent and regularly continued elimination of poisonous substances, with
the help of juices, enemas, etc."
----Dr Max Gerson, M.D.
"Some metabolic therapists insist on
daily enemas, including coffee enemas (excellent detoxifiers of the liver) in
order to cleanse the system.."
-----Dr Harold W Harper, MD
Coffee contains substances called
chloretics, which increase toxin excretion via the bile. The coffee enema is
probably the only pharmaceutically active chloretic compound that may be safely
administered several times a day without toxic effects. Severe coffee allergics may be unable to
benefit from this. It was recognized
by Dr Max Gerson (founder of the Gerson Institute) that coffee enemas are
effective in stimulating the liver enzymes called the glutathione-S-transferase
system, which is vital for detoxification. Increased activity of these enzymes
confers powerful antioxidant properties, good for breaking down carcinogenic substances. The chloretics open the bile ducts (like opening the drains) and
then the glutathione-S-transferase system throws out all the unwanted junk and
poisons.
|
HOW OFTEN SHOULD ONE TAKE
COFFEE ENEMAS?
For people with cancer, the
Gerson protocol involves daily coffee enemas, one every three to
four hours.
As
part of a detox program that does not include combating cancer, one should
consider taking roughly one to two coffee enemas per week.
For
both cancer patients and those free of the disease, Gerson's suggestion of
taking more than one coffee enema on the same day is wise to follow, because
the first enema series only pulls toxins from the colon and not from the small
intestines. Remember, the therapeutic action of the coffee enema is on
the gallbladder and liver. The ensuing increase of bile which is dumped into the
small intestines needs time to pass into the colon, where it then needs to be
eliminated. Taking a second enema
series four to six hours after the first can be crucial to pulling
from your body what was dumped into your small intestines previously that day.
When
the coffee enema is needed, there is a very clear experience of improved
wellbeing after taking it. Once the body is well detoxified, once the bulk of
the healing, regenerating, rebuilding, and weight loss is accomplished, once
the efficiency of the organs of detoxification is restored, then the need for
the coffee enema disappears. At that point, the coffee enema can still be used
from time to time if a specific need arises. For instance, the coffee enema
could prove useful when one eats unhealthy food, does a spring cleanse, is
experiencing high stress, or is quitting smoking.
To
monitor the removal of toxins within your body, use a hair
tissue mineral analysis (HTMA).
Special note: Because the coffee enema
stimulates a dumping of bile into the small intestines for excretion, it is
recommended to use a binding agent, such as China Chlorella, to assist the body with
complete removal of toxins, twenty minutes before the coffee enema is taken.
People with certain
conditions, such as diverticular disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease,
severe hemorrhoids, blood vessel disease, congestive heart failure, heart
disease, severe anemia, abdominal hernia, gastrointestinal cancer, recent colon
surgery, and intestinal tumors should avoid coffee enemas.
Pregnant or
nursing women and children should not have coffee enemas
Essential
Ingredients Needed
Instructions
1. Grind 2-3 tbsp Wilsons
Therapeutic Coffee Beans to a fine powder. (Do not do this ahead of time so you will
get the freshest, most active phytonutrients from the coffee). Pre-ground
coffee beans are partially oxidized & should not be used.
2. Bring just over
1 quart of clean water to a boil. Add the ground organic coffee. Let it
continue to boil for five minutes, then turn the stove off, leaving the pan on
the hot burner for 10-20 minutes. Allow it to cool down to a very comfortable,
tepid temperature. Test with your finger. It should be the same temperature as
a baby's bottle. It's safer to have it too cold than too warm; never use it hot
or steaming; body temperature is good.
3. Strain with a
fine metal strainer to remove any large particles that could clog the enema
tube.
4. Take Enema. Take an enema as follows. Try to take about half of the liquid
(about 1/2 quart) into the bowels; then hold for 10 minutes before expelling. Then
take in the second 1/2 quart and hold for another 10 minutes. Then expel.
Often, if some fecal matter is lower in the rectal tract, you may want to take
in about 1/8 or 1/4 of the liquid - just enough to expel the fecal matter in
the lower tract (in this case, it is not necessary to hold the liquid for any
period of time). Then divide the remaining liquid approximately in half
(mentally) -- and hold each portion for 10 minutes --to allow adequate soaking
time to cleanse hardened fecal material, infectious organisms, other toxins,
etc. in the lower rectal tract. After taking in the liquid and nature calls
(i.e. you feel a strong urge to expel the liquid) - even after a minute or two,
do not resist -- go ahead and expel it. At first, it may be hard to hold the
liquid for the full 10 minutes. Later, after several enemas (and thus a certain
amount of toxic elimination), it will be much easier for the bowels to hold the
liquid for the full 10 minutes.
Best enema time: during the day before 6 pm. Give yourself some time to rest
after the enema (20 to 30 minutes) - without walking or exercising. This helps
ensure that you are at home (near a toilet) if another small amount of enema
liquid needs to come out that was not expelled earlier.
CANCER FACTS *** Cancer is a group of diseases
characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the
spread is not controlled, it can result in death. (04/2008) |
.
END OF TOPIC #3
Colon Cancer is the
second leading cause of death from cancer. Therefore, screening for colon
polyps and removing them before they become cancerous should markedly reduce
the incidence of colon cancer
Colonoscopy is a procedure that
enables an examiner (usually a gastroenterologist) to evaluate the appearance
of the inside of the colon (large bowel). This is accomplished by inserting a
flexible tube that is about the thickness of a finger into the anus, and then
advancing it slowly, under visual control, into the rectum and through the
colon. It is performed with the visual control of either looking through the
instrument or with viewing a TV monitor.
This test may be done for a
variety of reasons. Most often it is done to investigate the finding of blood
in the stool, abdominal pain, diarrhea, a change in the bowel habits, or an
abnormality found on colon x- ray. Certain individuals with previous history of
polyps or colon cancer and certain individuals with family history of particular
malignancies or colon problems may be advised to have periodic colonoscopies
because they are at a greater risk of polyps or colon cancer.
If the procedure is to be
complete and accurate, the colon must be completely clean. Patients are given
detailed instructions about the cleansing of the colon procedure. In general
this consists of a large volume of a special cleansing solution or several days
of a clear liquid diet and laxatives or enemas prior to the examination. These
instructions should be followed to the letter or the procedure may be
unsatisfactory and have to be repeated later or a less accurate alternative
chosen in its place.
Prior to the procedure an IV
is started and the patient is given a monitor for continuous monitoring of the
heart, blood pressure, and oxygenation of the blood. Medication is often given
through the vein to make the patient sleepy and relaxed. If needed, the patient
may receive additional doses during the procedure. Colonoscopy often gives a
feeling of pressure, cramping, and bloating, however, with the aid of the
medication it is generally well tolerated and rarely causes any significant
pain.\
Colonoscopy
Diagram
Patients will be lying on
their left side or back as the instrument is slowly advanced. Once the tip of
the colon, or the last portion of the small bowel, is reached the colonoscope
is slowly withdrawn and the lining is again carefully examined. The procedure
usually takes 15 to 60 minutes. If the entire colon, for some reason, cannot be
visualized, the physician may decide to try it at a later date with a better
bowel preparation or may decide to order an x-ray of the colon.
If an area needs to be better evaluated a forceps is passed through the instrument and a biopsy (a sample of the tissue) is obtained and is submitted to pathology for a microscopic exam. If infection is suspected a specimen may be obtained for culturing of any possible bacteria or viruses. If the exam is performed because of bleeding, the site can be identified, sample of tissue obtained (if indicated), and the bleeding controlled by several means. Should there be polyps (benign growths that can lead to cancer) they, almost always, can be removed through the colonoscope. Removal of these polyps is an important method of preventing colorectal cancer. None of these additional procedures typically produce pain. Biopsies are taken for many reasons and do not necessarily mean that cancer is suspected and the great majority of polyps are benign.
Patients will be kept in an
observation area for an hour or two, until any medication given adequately
wears off. If they have been given sedation before or during the procedure, someone
must take them home, even if they feel alert. The patient's reflexes and
judgment may be impaired for the rest of the day, making it unsafe to drive or
operate any machinery. Should patients have some cramping or bloating this
should be relieved quickly with the passage of gas and they should be able to
eat upon the returning home. After the removal of polyps or certain
manipulations, the diet or activities of patients may be restricted for a brief
period of time. Prior to the patient's departure, any findings can be
explained. However, at times, a definitive diagnosis might have to wait for a
microscopic analysis, which usually takes only a few days.
Colonoscopy complications
are rare and usually minor when performed by physicians who have been specially
trained and are experienced in these endoscopic procedures.
Bleeding may occur at the
site of biopsy or polypectomy, is usually minor and self-limited, or can be
controlled through the colonoscope. It is quite unusual to require transfusions
or surgery. An even less common complication is a perforation or a tear through
the bowel wall that could require surgery. Other potential complications are
reaction to the sedatives used, localized irritation to the vein where
medications were injected (leaving a tender lump lasting a number of days but
going away eventually), or complications from heart or lung disease. Hot towels
or moist packs often help relieve the discomfort of an irritated vein. The
incidence of all of these, together, is less than one percent.
Note: my wife had her first colonoscopy three years ago
at the age of 56. At which time three polyps were removed. They were benign.
She recently had her 3-year follow-up colonoscopy and she was polyp free. I
just had my first colonoscopy at 58. One polyp was found and removed. It also
was benign. Iwe are both scheduled for a follow up colonoscopy in 10 years. Yet
I will not wait that long before having another one, it will more than likely
be done 5-years from now. We both now have a piece of mind knowing that colon
cancer will not be an issue later on in life.
CANCER FACTS *** The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2008 about
170,000 cancer deaths are expected to be caused by tobacco use. Scientific
evidence suggests that about one-third of the 565,650 cancer deaths expected
to occur in 2008 will be related to overweight or obesity, physical
inactivity, and nutrition and thus could also be prevented… (04/2008) |

An herbal recipe
discovered more than seventy years ago with amazing health benefits and has the
ability to nourish healthy cells
Essiac (es-ee-ak) is a
herbal recipe discovered more than seventy years ago with amazing health
benefits. Essiac is Caisse backwards - it was named from the surname of the
Canadian nurse who devoted her life to testing the formula and bringing it to
the attention of patients and their doctors.
Ms. Rene Caisse received it
from a middle-aged female patient who had obtained it from an Ojibwa Indian
Medicine Man – a tribe from Ontario. The Medicine Man offered his help to the
patient because he knew the woman was suffering from breast cancer. The patient
regained her health, recovered from her cancer and it did not reoccur over the next
thirty years.
Ms Caisse used the same
recipe on her aunt, who was terminally ill with stomach and liver cancer. Her aunt lived another 21 years, eventually
dying of old age. Impressed by these
successes, Ms. Caisse began to offer the formula to anyone who contacted her.
Eventually word of her
treatment convinced Dr. Charles Brusch (formerly the physician to the late
John F. Kennedy) of the enormous health benefits of Essiac and the two
eventually became research partners. Over the years, many other people with
various kinds of illnesses and ailments have told others about the remarkable
benefits from the Essiac recipe.
Essiac has the ability to
stimulate, fortify and intensify the body's natural immune system. This enables
it to eradicate disease, including cancer cells and cancerous tissue; without harming, damaging or destroying
healthy cells and tissue. It also
has the ability to nourish healthy cells.
Taken in the
prescribed quantities it is non-toxic, harmless and completely drug-free; it
acts as a tonic and has a very beneficial and healthy effect on the body.
WHO SHOULD NOT TAKE THE ESSIAC TEA:
If you are pregnant, nursing or trying to conceive. This tea contains
constituents (chemicals), which may increase blood flow to the pelvic region
and stimulate menses. Safeties of the herbs have not been determined for small
children. Properties of this tea may pass through the mother's milk to the
infant.
If you have kidney disease, are prone to kidney stones, or kidney
infections.
The varying amounts of oxalic acids in this tea are irritating to the kidneys,
but drinking copious amounts of water (unless contraindicated by your doctor or
condition) may help to reduce the effects of this.
If you have a bowel obstruction or diarrhea. Properties in this tea -
specifically in the Turkey Rhubarb - promote peristalsis (the action by which
the bowel moves it's contents through). In the case of bowel obstruction, last
time I checked this was considered a medical emergency. The last thing you
would want to do is to rely on tea to help it. The first thing you should do is
see your doctor immediately. In the case of diarrhea, valuable fluids and
electrolytes are lost through the rapid emptying of the intestines. Prolonged
diarrhea can result in dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
If you have ulcers or colitis. The Turkey Rhubarb has an action of being a
laxative or cathartic (depending on how much you take). Some properties in this
root can be highly irritating to ulcers and colitis, exacerbating (or
worsening) these conditions.
If you have a history of increased levels of iron in your blood. This is usually related
to the way your digestive tract absorbs nutrients. (It's a fairly complicated
little arrangement.) The tea contains varying amounts of iron. If you have been
advised not to take in foods/herbs that contain substantial amounts of iron,
this tea should not be taken.
Children under the age of 12 should not take this tea. No studies have been done
to determine the safety of the herbs in the young.
If you have tumors that are encroaching on a major blood supply or
an area of an organ that expansion of the tumor could have dire consequences. Consult with your doctor
to find out if this applies to you. In the beginning phase of a person taking
this tea, the tumor could appear to enlarge before it begins to break down. If
you notice any sudden pain or untoward symptoms after beginning this tea, stop
taking it, and immediately consult with your physician.
If you have a brain tumor. In the beginning phase of a person taking this tea,
tumors could appear to enlarge before it begins to break down. This can be
extremely detrimental in the brain tissue. Rapid or excess growth can put
pressure on areas of the brain that affect body/mental function. If the tumor
would break down, it can release pieces of the malignant tissue, which could
cause a stroke. Circulation in the brain is unlike the rest of the body.
WHEN TO USE CAUTION IN TAKING ESSIAC:
Those who are taking anticoagulant therapy/drugs. This tea contains
constituents, which may affect blood clotting. Advise your physician that you
are taking this tea. If he/she detects any changes in your laboratory values, discontinue
the tea immediately.
Diabetics
who are insulin dependant may need to adjust their dosage - also those on
anti-diabetes medications. All diabetics should monitor their blood sugar
closely while on this tea. Some of the constituents in this tea can affect the
way glucose and insulin are taken up in the cells and utilized. Many people
find they need less medication while taking this tea. This is not always the
case, but is worthy of mention.
Consult with your physician if you have had a cholecystectomy (removal of the
gallbladder). As this tea stimulates many of the digestive organs and
processes, your doctor may deem it inadvisable for you to take this tea.
Persons with osteoporosis should consult with their physician. Reports show
that oxalic acid (present in the tea) can interfere with calcium metabolism.
If you are taking cardiac glycosides (such as Digoxin), ask your physician to monitor you
closely for possible toxicity of the drug. Some constituents in this tea may
assist the body to utilize the drug(s) more efficiently.
1. Burdock Root: is used traditionally to help
reduce mucus, maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract, stimulate a healthy
immune response, for weak digestion, as a diuretic for waster retention and to
sweat out toxins through the skin. It has vitamin A and selenium to help
reducer free radicals and its chromium content helps maintain normal blood
sugar levels.
2. Sheep Sorrel: is
used in
traditional folk herbalism to cool the body, create sweating and detoxification
through the skin: as a diuretic useful in maintaining a healthy kidney and
urinary functions. It is rich in vitamins and trace minerals (ascorbic acid,
mineral oxides, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, silicon and rutin.
It is thought to nourish the glandular system
3. Turkey Rhubarb: is used traditionally in small
amounts, this herb acts as a gently laxative and helps purge the liver of toxic
buildup and waste. It helps neutralize acids due to occasional indigestion. Its
malic acid also carries oxygen to all parts of the body, maintaining and
promoting a positive and balancing effect upon the whole digestive system
4. Slippery Elm: Contains large amounts of tannins and mucilages which are
believed to help dissolve mucus deposits in tissue, glands and nerve channels.
The inner bark, rich in calcium, magnesium and vitamins (A, B, C, K), helps to
nourish and soothe organs, tissues and mucus membranes and is helpful to the
lungs. It also helps neutralize acids from occasional indigestion.
For more advanced stages of
cancer I recommend the 8-ingredient
herbal chemotherapy formula that incorporates the following with the original
formula:
5. Blessed
Thistle, aids digestion therefore helps various digestive
problems including constipation, gas and upset stomach. It is also widely used
to treat liver and gallbladder diseases.
6. Kelp, is a sea vegetable that is a concentrated source of
minerals, including: iodine, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron. Kelp is a
source of iodine that is crucial in the production of thyroid hormones. These
hormones maintain proper metabolism in the cells. This increases energy levels
and helps make it easier to maintain a healthy body weight. Kelp is the densest
of all the Essiac Tea ingredients.
7. Red Clover, is a source of many crucial nutrients, including:
calcium, chromium, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, thiamine, and
vitamin C. Red clover is also one of the richest sources of isoflavones
(water-soluble chemicals that act like estrogens and are found in many plants).
The isoflavones found in red clover have been studied for their effectiveness
in treating some forms of cancer. It is thought that the isoflavones prevent
the proliferation of cancer cells and that they may even destroy cancer cells.
This herb is important in the relation between Essiac and cancer.
8. Watercress is high
in Vitamin C, watercress is used as a general tonic, and its bitter taste is
thought to regulate the appetite and improve digestion. It can be used to
alleviate nervous conditions, constipation, and liver disorders. Watercress is
a popular cough and bronchitis remedy. It contains a remarkable substance
called rhein, which appears to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the
intestines. It is believed that rhein is also effective against Candida
albicans (yeast infection), fever and inflammation, and pain. This is the
culprit which gives the tea its slightly bitter taste, but the benefits are
worth it
Altogether these herbs
create a Synergy - that is, they work far better together health-wise than each
one taken on its own. Patients undergoing orthodox cancer therapies can take
it, but it appears to be more successful and effective when taken without these
therapies being administered.
Although there is no
clinical evidence to support the effectiveness of Essiac on cancer and other
diseases, there are a lot of
case histories in the public domain that support it. Rene Caisse herself
claimed an 80% success rate with her patients. It is also believed to be
beneficial to those suffering from other diseases and ailments such as:
AIDS, Allergies, Arthritis,
Alzheimer's, Asthma, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Circulatory problems, Diabetes,
Fibroids, Hemorrhoids, Hypoglycemia, Impotence, Malignancies, Multiple
Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Prostate and urinary problems, Psoriasis, Sleeping
Disorders, Thyroid Problems, Ulcers, Warts, and more.
Dosage Recommendations
Note #1: The dosages
that we're suggesting are measured in ounces of brewed tea.
Note #2: All doses should be taken on an
empty stomach. Avoid
eating for 2 hours before and 1 hour after taking Essiac for best results.
Essiac
Tea dosage is primarily dependent upon how serious your health condition is.
There are Five (5) to choose from and are as follows:
1. Aggressive
Dose is recommended if you wish
to improve your health: Typical recommended amount is 9 oz. per day, taken in
three separate 3 oz. doses. 6-12 oz. may be used based on bodyweight, taken in
three separate doses of 2-4 oz. each.
Essiac Tea aggressive dose is the recommended Essiac Tea regimen if you
have (or suspect that you have) cancer or another health problem.
You should remain on the aggressive dosage program for a minimum of five
months, or until your test results return to normal. If your test results have
returned too normal.
i.
You may reduce your
Essiac Tea to the maintenance dosage of 3 oz. just once per day. If at any
point your symptoms return, I recommend that you return to the aggressive
dosage of three 3 oz. doses per day.
If the original condition persists even while you take Essiac Tea, continue on
the aggressive treatment dosage until your condition improves and you're
satisfied with the results.
Keep
in mind that many people keep getting worse and worse if they are not taking
Essiac, so sometimes just holding steady with your health (not slipping) is a
victory.
2. Aggressive
Plus Dose is recommended for
individuals who are currently receiving chemotherapy and/or radiation, or who
have been given a terminal diagnosis.
Essiac can be taken during traditional cancer treatments without interfering
with that treatment. If you are currently receiving chemotherapy or radiation, be
aware that chemo and radiation can destroy some of the active properties of the
Essiac Tea. In other words, chemo and radiation can prevent Essiac Tea
from doing its job somewhat.
Taking "extra" tea to compensate for this
acts as insurance that the Essiac you're taking will be able to do its work in
your body. If you plan to continue your chemo and/or radiation, you might consider taking
up to 18 oz. of tea per day, or three 6-oz. doses. Many people on chemo and/or
radiation have tried the 18 oz. per day with good results.
However, some
decide to stay with just 9 oz. per day, and many of those people have also had
good results. You'll have to decide (along with the help of your practitioner)
if you'd like to experiment with taking the Essiac Tea Aggressive Dose PLUS,
which is 18 oz. per day. This is what I suggest for those who are currently
receiving chemo and/or radiation, or who have been given a terminal diagnosis.
3. Maintenance
Dose is 3-4 oz. of tea per day,
and can be taken all at once or in two separate dosess.2-6 oz. may be used*.
The lower end of this range may be appropriate for supplementary use or for
lighter people, while the higher of this range may be more appropriate for
those suffering from a mild medical condition, or for heavier people.
Administer the maintenance dose for at least 6 months after your test results
have returned to normal. Many people choose to continue the maintenance dose
indefinitely to maintain their good health. Some also take a maintenance dose
of Essiac Tea as a daily preventive supplement, even though they have no health
problems. Essiac Tea is abundant in many minerals and is a healthy part of the
daily diet.
The length of time you should remain on a maintenance dose of Essiac will
ultimately be your decision. Those that choose to stay on Essiac at all times
choose too to maintain good health. We encourage our friends and family to do
the same. Essiac can be taken indefinitely, so it's up to you to decide whether
to continue on the maintenance dose or to stop using Essiac you've achieved
good health.
1. How long does it take
to become effective?
This will depend a great
deal on how advanced the cancer is and whether or not it has spread
(metastasized) to other areas of the body away from the main site. How long it
takes may also be affected by any adverse effects from orthodox therapy.
However, improvements are
frequently detected with the majority of patients after Essiac has been taken
for a week or two. Patients have been known to regain their appetites, sleep
better, regain lost weight and generally feel better in themselves.
Even in advanced terminal
cases Essiac appears to have the effect of alleviating pain.
2. Why isn't Essiac
available under the N.H.S or privately, as an orthodox remedy?
As Essiac is made from
herbs, it cannot be patented and marketed profitably, as other expensive and
potentially harmful cancer drugs are. Therefore, it has never attracted the
attention or interest of the pharmaceutical industry, and has been ignored by
orthodox medical science.
Most medical practitioners
are unaware of it, and most, if asked about it, will tend to dismiss it
disparagingly as being no more than a "quack" remedy. It is a pity
that they do not find out and learn more about this before dismissing Essiac
out of hand, but there it is.
3. When can Essiac Tea
Therapy safely be stopped?
When medical tests like
blood tests have indicated that all traces of cancer have been eradicated. It
is then safe for the
1.
Full therapeutic
daily quantity of 3 tablespoons (45ml) twice a day to
be discontinued.
2.
However it is a wise
precaution for the preventative daily quantity of 2 dessertspoons (20ml) to
be taken once a day thereafter for at least 6 months.
4. What are the advantages
of Essiac over current treatment options for cancer?
Orthodox
therapies are indiscriminate, invasive and destructive. These
treatments consist of surgery, Radiotherapy and chemotherapy, none of which are able to
discriminate between cancer cells and cancerous tissue on the one hand and
healthy cells and tissue on the other.
Essiac Tea
Therapy, however, does discriminate by helping the body's own immune system to
attack and destroy only cancer cells and cancerous tissue, and to leave healthy
cells and tissue unaffected.
5. How do you use Essiac?
You can brew these herbs
into a tea to take twice - three times a day, on an empty stomach by purchasing
tea bags, which take the hassle out of brewing your own remedy. It is simple to
make - just pour boiling water over, leave for 20 minutes to steep, then keep
in the fridge and use in 45ml doses throughout the day.
It has a pleasant earthy
taste and only small amounts need to be taken at a time (3 tablespoons or 45ml)
as it is very concentrated and of a very high quality.
The evidence from people in
modern times who have been helped by this formula is overwhelming and the
subject of many books and case histories as to its effectiveness.

Here is an excerpt from an interview with Dr. Brusch on
Ted Kennedy’s son who was cured of sarcoma in his left leg using Essiac Tea:
”Brusch's Essiac patients included Ted Kennedy's son who had a sarcoma in his
leg, and who had his leg amputated. The Farber Cancer Institute in Boston,
Massachusetts, was treating him at the time. Dr. Farber didn't know how to save
him, because no one had ever lived with this type of sarcoma. So what he did
was go to Dr. Brusch and say, how are we going to save Ted Kennedy's son? And Dr.
Brusch made the suggestion to put him on Essiac, and after they did, he didn't
have a cancer cell in his body. But all this information has been hidden
from the public.”
This is my
testimonial to the Essiac Tea Therapy
In the middle 1980’s my
wife was diagnosed has having uterine fibroids (tumors). The doctors we approached
all recommended a partial hysterectomy (the removal of the uterus), which was the
common procedure at the time. I wasn’t too eager to make a decision since her
fibroids were non-cancerous. On the way home I could tell my wife was worried
and confused about what to do. I reassured her that we could handle the problem
and not to worry. She was unaware that I already knew about the Essiac Tea
Therapy. This was my opportunity to prove or disprove all that I had read and
researched about on the Essiac Tea Therapy.
Within
a matter of days I had the original four ingredients, all organic herbal tea
that Ms. Caisse used to help so many with. I began treating my wife
immediately. To start I gave her a shot glass (2 oz) three times a day
(morning, lunch and dinner – total daily dosage 6 fluid ounces) for the first
week. Within a matter of days her pain had subsided to the point were she no
longer needed to take tylenol for pain. Yet she still felt a slight discomfort.
By the end of the first week we noticed a significantly decease in her bleeding
and all her discomforts were alleviated. This lead me to believe that something
good was taking place.
In
week two her dosage of Essiac Tea was increased to 4 oz three time a day (12
fluid ounces). By the end of week two her bleeding had subsided to spotting.
This was an indication that the fibroids were shrinking, We were unsure to the
extent of shrinkage but it had to be taking place.
In
week three her dosage of Essiac Tea was increased to 6 oz three time a day (18
fluid ounces). She remained at this dosage level through out the duration of
the treatment, which in her case lasted eight (8) months. By the end of week
three all bleeding had stopped. Life was back to normal, as she knew it. Yet, the
real test was yet to come.
We
scheduled a follow up appointment with the doctor a month after she started the
Essiac Tea Therapy. She was told that her fibroids had shrunk by approximately
25% from when they were first viewed a month earlier I cannot describe how
happy she was. For me I knew that I was on to something that only few knew
about.
To
make a long story short, at month four we were at approximately 40% shrinkage,
month six approximately 65% shrinkage and by month eight we had eradicated the fibroids
altogether.
My
story is much different than my wife’s. In 1995 I was diagnosed with SCLC
(small cell lung cancer) LS (limited stage) due to years of abusive smoking. I
used the more advanced form of the Essiac Tea Therapy, which included 4 additional
chemotherapy herbs (Blessed Thistle, Kelp, Red Clover, and Watercress). I
followed the same dosage plan I used for my wife. The end results were the same
except it took 20 months to fully eradicate the cancer and tumors. Thanks to
the Essiac Tea Therapy both my wife and I will remain:

Browning's Blended
Spirits Blood Tonic
A Recipe developed by Leslee Dru Browning a 6th generation
Medical Herbalist & Nutritionist
You have just been diagnosed with cancer. Your oncologist is
pushing you to begin chemotherapy immediately. You know that chemotherapy will
make you sick, your hair fall out and leave you completely debilitated and
dependent on someone to care for you. You will suffer severe side effects that
may leave your nervous system damaged, weaken your bones or damage your heart.
You also realize that chances are your cancer will return after months of
grueling treatments. You think maybe you would like to try alternative medicine
but your oncologist is against it and you know of others who tried that route
and died. What you may not know is this: Cancer can be healed naturally, and is done
so every day, but it takes more than a multivitamin, a few supplements and a
daily bowl of blueberries to accomplish complete healing.
I have come to the conclusion that cancer is a result of what is call ‘poor
blood’ – by poor I mean the blood is not in optimal condition. Since the blood
circulates through every organ in the body and through every cell, it only
makes sense that toxins in the blood contaminate the entire body.
Blood becomes less than optimal when it is not nourished properly. Without
proper nourishment to the blood the body will not survive. It may survive for a
while, even years, but ultimately, the body will suffer from starvation to
organs, which ultimately causes illness with cancer often resulting as
the eventual killer. Therefore, the fundamental goal in curing cancer is not
only to restore the blood but to also treat the lymph glands, kidneys, liver,
bowel, and bones by nourishment found in herbs. Herbs are effective in healing
the body because they are modulators and understand the intricacy of the body’s
innate healing capabilities. Their role is to enhance and direct the body’s
various systems to function optimally thereby restoring health without doing
harm.
Begin with an herbal blood/lymph tonic that includes herbs to build the blood,
cleanse the blood, inhibit bacteria, and boost the white blood cells, the red
blood cells, and the immune system. An example of a combination of herbs for a
tonic that would fit the above criteria is:
Here is the well known Browning's Blended Spirits Blood Tonic
Recipe developed by Leslee Dru Browning a 6th generation Medical Herbalist
& Nutritionist who formulated it years ago for an 80 year old man who had
been diagnosed with Invasive Bladder Cancer that had spread to his lymph. He
refused chemotherapy and radiation treatments and was given only 3-6 months to
live. His family called Leslee to see if she would help him. After hearing his
case she couldn’t recommend herbal capsules because he had difficulty
swallowing so she made him this blood tonic. Also included in his treatment was
a Bladder and Kidney tonic along with diet changes.
His cancer was eliminated in 6 months and was verified by a cat scan his doctor
did in the hospital. The doctors were mystified when they could not find any
cancer in his body, yet they never asked what he did to eliminate his cancer.
That alone suggested that his doctors not only didn’t care how he healed
himself; but that his doctors weren’t the least bit curious about alternative
medicine and how they might learn from his recovery. The gentleman is no longer
living, but he did not die of cancer. He died of old age from natural causes
About the Ingredients:
Browning’s Blended Spirits Blood Tonic contains
a comprehensive blend of all-natural ingredients of herbs that are effective
for blood purification and detoxification. The ingredients in this blend provide
nutritive support to the body and are historically proven to provide both
cleansing action and detoxification of the cells throughout the body including
the lymph, lungs, liver, heart, colon and bloodstream. Many of the ingredients
like burdock root, chaparral, poke root, red clover and yellow dock have been
used for years to treat cancer.
What ingredients you will need make the tonic:
3oz each of the following dried herbs:
1. Anise seed (pimpinella
anisum)
2. Blue violet (viola
odorata)
3. Burdock root (arctium
lappa)
4. Chaparral (larrea
tridentate)
5. Dandelion root (taraxacum
officinale)
6.
Fennel (foeniculum vulgare)
7. Licorice root (glycyrrhiza
glabra)
8. Oregon grape (mahonia
aquifolium)
9. Poke root (phytolacca
Americana)
10. Red clover (trifolium
pretense)
11.
Yellow dock root (rumex
crispus)
40 oz of Honey or Black Strap Molasses, your choice.
16 oz of Vegetable glycerin.
4 Tablespoons of Citric acid which can be found in health food stores or from
herb companies on-line.
5 gallons of distilled water
Purchase the whole herb (cut root and cut leaf) instead of the
powdered herb if you can. The reason for this is two-fold. First, the powder
absorbs more water leaving you with less liquid; second, the powder takes
longer and is harder to strain. I purchase most of my dried herbs from Mountain
Rose Herbs. Their herbs are processed and handled according to strict organic
standards and they will sell individual herbs in a 4oz quantity so you will not
have to purchase a full pound. I am sure there are many other herb companies
and health food stores that carry the herbs you will need. Just make sure they
are organic.
What cooking tools you will need:
You will also need two stainless steel or glass 20-quart pots with lids.
A large strainer.
A candy or water thermometer.
Cheesecloth.
For bottling you can use regular canning jars. If using pint jars you will need
about 24 – 28 jars. If using quart jars you will need about 14 jars. This is a
large recipe that will provide one year worth of tonics for the cancer patient,
or, if using for a preventative go together with friends or family and share
it.
Note: Use Kerr quart canning jars with plastic lids to prevent rust.
How to make the tonic:
Making this tonic is like canning fruit from your garden. If you can cook you
can make it. It takes a few days but is well worth it. You will not find this
tonic on the market because it is time intense. The cost would be prohibitive
to manufacture it, yet you can make it in your home for around $3.00 a pint.
This tonic stores for up to a year if placed in a dark cool closet. They key to
keeping tonics fresh is to prevent them from exposure to extreme temperature
fluctuations. Don’t let them freeze and don’t let them sit in temperatures
above 750.
In one pot add:
Anise seed, burdock root, chaparral, dandelion root, fennel, licorice root,
oregon grape root, poke root, yellow dock root and add 3 gallons of distilled
water.
Cover with lid and set on stove on warm heat overnight so that the roots can be
softened for extraction.
In the morning turn up the heat and bring the water to a low simmer for about 4
hours then bring to a boil for 15-30 minutes. After boiling turn off heat and
strain the liquid into a clean container by laying a layer of cheesecloth over
your strainer.
In another pot add:
Blue violet, red clover and add 1.5 gallons of distilled water. Set on counter
and let soak in water over night.
In the morning place the pot on the stove on warm/medium heat to steep (not
boil) the herbs like you would a cup of tea. Let them steep for at least 4
hours then strain the liquid by laying a layer of cheesecloth over your
strainer.
Compost the strained herbs in your garden.
Mixing the pots:
Once the liquid is strained from both pots mix it together in one of the
20-quart pots and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
Then
add
16 oz of vegetable glycerin,
40 oz of honey (or black strap molasses for those allergic to honey)
4 heaping tablespoons of citric acid
Stir and let the mixture mingle for 15 minutes or so. When ready to bottle use
a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the liquid. You want the
temperature between 185* - 190* to prevent any bacteria to grow in the tonics.
Maintain this heat temperature throughout bottling.
While waiting for your liquid to reach the accurate bottling temperature
prepare your canning jars. Sterilize jars and lids.
Once your bottles are sterilized and your herbal liquid is at the right
temperature add the tonic liquid to the hot jars. Fill to ½” from top of jar
and cap. Let cool overnight. Check to make sure all the jars are sealed
properly then store them.
Once you open a jar of tonic for use you must Refrigerate it. The
tonic will last for a month in the refrigerator once it has been opened.
Sediment in the bottom of the jars is normal. Give the jar a little shake or
stir to mix the sediment before taking.
How much to take:
Adult Dosage: 2 Tablespoon 2 times a day for cancer,
tumors, liver, viral and bacterial infections. In my practice I recommended
that cancer patients take this tonic for at least a year and then drop to a
maintenance dose of taking it once a day for another year. Some of my cancer
patients continue to take it on and off throughout their life to keep their
blood and lymph clear of toxins.
For cancer prevention use a bottle of this tonic every 3 months taking 1
Tablespoon 2 times a day.
Do not use if you are pregnant. Do not use if you are taking
blood-thinning agents like Warfarin (also known under the brand names of
Coumadin, Jantoven, Marevan, and Waran).
The KIDNEY needs to be supported because they are
the organs that filter the blood. They are responsible for separating urea,
mineral salts, toxins and other waste products from the blood to be discarded
in the urine while it sends clean blood back into the body. They also conserve
water, salts, and electrolytes. Prescr*iption medicine is the biggest cause of
kidney toxicity with heavy metals from pollution a close second. When the
kidneys are weak due to congestion they are unable to completely filter waste
products from the blood, which is why an herbal kidney formula needs to be
incorporated in all cancer treatments. A good kidney formula might contain
The LIVER is part of the digestive system. It
stores carbohydrates, fats, and proteins until it can break them down. The main
purpose of the liver is to clean out fluids and to clear toxins from the blood.
The liver is a highly vascular tissue so it is important that the body’s
circulation is in good condition otherwise the liver may become congested.
If the body is sick with cancer the liver needs help. It needs to be
cleansed while at the same time built up. Some of the herbs you might choose
for a liver tonic to both cleanse and heal the liver are:
Now we look to the COLON. The purpose of the colon as an
eliminative organ is to remove waste material by mass muscular contraction
called peristalsis. In my experience I have found that nearly 75% of cancer
patients have suffered from some form of chronic constipation during their lives.
I consider constipation when the bowels do not move at least once a day. When
the bowels do not move daily poisons can accumulate in the colon. Depending on
where the poison accumulates in the colon will depend on where cancer develops
for there is a point on the colon for every organ and system in the body. Any
of these points, if clogged, toxic, or full of old fecal matter, will
eventually bring illness to that part of the body the colon signifies. The
bowel must be swept clean of all debris. Some people will need a gentle nudge
while others require a greater nudge. Herbs that can be used in combination for
healing the colon are:
CANCER FACTS *** Scientific evidence suggests that about one-third of the
cancer deaths that occur in the US each year are due to nutrition and
physical activity factors, including excess weight. For the majority of
Americans who do not use tobacco, dietary choices and physical activity are
the most important modifiable determinants of cancer risk. (04/2008) |

Enhances Cell
Division, Elongation and Permeability of Cell Membranes Stimulates and balances cells,
creating optimum growth and replication conditions
We as
humans are programmed to ageing and death. The ageing and death program is
hidden in a mitochondrion (plural mitochondria), a small organelle, variants of
which are found in most cells of the human body. Mitochondria are microscopic
creatures that work hard round the clock. Mitochondria are often described as
'cellular power plants' because they daily convert 400 liters of oxygen into
energy via the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Not unlike any other
production facility, mitochondria also produce some waste materials in the
process. About half a liter of superoxide radicals, an extremely toxic
substance, is generated as a by-product of oxidative phosphorylation.
The toxic
superoxide radicals can irrevocably damage mitochondrial DNA and mitochondrial
membranes. The presence of antioxidants (chemicals that prevent the oxidization
of other chemicals) in the system can help reduce the damage done by free
radicals to body's own cells. However, many antioxidants including vitamin C
and vitamin E cannot accomplish their mission because they get damaged
themselves while protecting molecules against the impact of free radicals.
Besides, antioxidants cannot get into mitochondria for a number of reasons. On the other hand low molecular weight humic substances
called fulvic acids work on
the level of the cell Nucleus specifically by protecting the mitochondria and
increasing cellular metabolism and cell division.
Studies show that humic, and especially fulvic acids do occur naturally in the
human diet. Waters from streams and rivers running through forested land
contain dissolved humic and fulvic acids. Humic and fulvic acids occur in
living plants grown in organic humus containing soils, and humic and fulvic
acids have been isolated from live plants. Humic and fulvic acids have been found in the gastrointestinal
tract of humans and are absorbed. They circulate with the blood and are
metabolized in the liver.
With respect to internal use, humic and fulvic acids have been shown to be
particularly useful in the prophylaxis (prevention), therapy and metaphylaxis
(after-care) of a variety of stomach and intestinal troubles such as,
hyper-acidity, diarrhea, gastric ulcers, dysentery, gastroenteritis and colitis.
They can also act as a detoxifying agent, and have been used against bacterial
and viral infections. They have been found to be useful in the treatment of
anemia (deficiency of red blood cells, hemoglobin or total blood volume) and as
a stimulator of the body’s
immune system and of detoxifying liver functions. By
counteracting certain kinds of cancerous growth, humic acids may also have a
potential as an anti-carcinogen.
Many of
these effects can be attributed to the activity of humic and fulvic acids by
themselves, and are the result of their surface activity, chelating properties, power of absorption,
their polyacidic nature, their polyphenolic structure, their interaction with
other organic molecules
including polysaccharides, proteins, enzymes and lipids, as well as of their
redox properties and fee radical content. No unfavorable side effects have so
far been noticed with the administration of humic or fulvic acids.
Mitochondria the
powerhouse of the cell
Who and What Are We?
Biologically as humans we consist of varying amounts
of the following major and minor elements:
Plus
traces of aluminum, bromine, cobalt, copper, fluorine, manganese, nickel,
silicon, sodium, zinc, and all the additionl (as yet) undiscovered trace
element needs being added to the list as our knowledge increase.
The
elements we are composed of (plus or minus a few billion) are components of
approximately 60 trillion cells. An average cell contains about 1 quadrillion
molecules, which is about 10,000 times as many molecules as the milky way has
stars. Individual cells when properly nourished, are capable of producing many
of their own amino acids, enzymes, and other factors necessary for all
metabolic processes. Each cell, in addition to other processes, burns its own
energy, maintains itself, manufactures its own enzymes, creates its own
proteins, and duplicates itself. It is essential to understand that the total
metabolism of the body is the sum of the metabolic operations carried on in
each individual cell.
It
has been found that fulvic acid is a powerful, natural electrolyte that can act
as an acceptor or as a donor in the creation of electrochemical balance. If it
encounters free radicals with unpaired positive electrons it supplies an equal
and opposite negative charge to neutralize the bad effects of the free
radicals. Likewise, if the free radicals carry a negative charge, the fulvic
acid molecule can supply positive unpaired electrons to nullify that charge.
Reported claims of benefits are little short of astonishing. For
internal use they are:
Fulvic
acid enhances the availability of nutrients and makes them more readily
absorbable. It also allows minerals to regenerate and prolongs the residence
time of essential nutrients. It prepares nutrients to react with cells. It
allows nutrients to inter-react with one another, breaking them down into the
simplest ionic forms chelated by the fulvic acid electrolyte.
CANCER FACTS *** Cancer killed 7.6 million people around the world in 2007,
and this figure is expected to rise to 17.5 million by 2050 simply due to the
growth and aging of the population. (04/2008) |

Oxygenates and feeds the cells -
cleaning and 'tuning up' our body's systems
CELLFOOD is a proprietary ionic formula containing
dissolved oxygen, electrolytes, 78 ionic minerals, 34 enzymes and 17 amino
acids - which provides an unsurpassed oxygenating source, and nutritional
delivery system, to every cell of the body.
CELLFOOD's unique structure oxygenates
and feeds the cells— cleaning and 'tuning up' our body's systems all day long.
Why is this so important?
Oxygen aids the functioning of every body system. That's why aerobic exercise
is so important to our good health. Yet even when we exercise regularly (and
most Americans do not), we are not getting optimum levels of oxygen into our
bodies. Why? Because ours is an increasingly oxygen-deficient environment -
filled with chemicals, exhaust fumes, industrial emissions, and burned fossil
fuels. It's estimated that the earth's atmosphere used to contain 38-50%
oxygen; that it is now down to about 20%; and that in some urban environments,
it's as low as 10%! CELLFOOD is capable of holding its components
in a full aqueous solution and delivering them to every single cell. Its unique
time-release delivery system ensures that nascent oxygen is created when
CELLFOOD is mixed with water or juice, and that the vital nutrients are rapidly
absorbed
by the body at the cellular level. And CELLFOOD contains only the finest all-natural plant
substances.
What functions does CELLFOOD support?
CELLFOOD oxygenates the body's cells

How Cellfood Works
Cellfood is a proprietary super-energized complex concentrate of 78 trace
minerals, 34 enzymes, 17 amino acids, electrolytes and dissolved oxygen held in a
negatively charged suspension utilizing deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen. Its
inventor, the legendary Everett Storey, called Cellfood an electromagnetic
equation. Since the blood and lymph fluid are colloidal and negatively charged,
the synchronicity between Cellfood and these vital fluids assures the
bioavailability of Cellfood's nutrients to every cell in the body.
Cellfood is unique in its ability to create nascent (meaning
newly-born) oxygen. In biochemical terms 'nascent' oxygen refers to the newly
born singlet oxygen (O-) that has not yet entered the biochemical
reaction. Free radicals (which many biochemists believe are a primary cause of
aging and degenerative disease) are positively charged ions of oxygen (O+).
Since nascent oxygen molecules are negatively charged, they actually seek out
and attract these dangerous free radicals, combining with them to form simple
pure stabilized oxygen (O2). Cellfood creates this life-giving nascent oxygen
and bodybuilding nascent hydrogen by dissociating - or splitting - the water
molecule by weakening the bonding electrons.
Cellfood is developed from a solution, which has the ability to release the
oxygen and hydrogen simultaneously in a chain reaction that involves only one
five-hundred-thousandth of the body's available moisture at any time - and
since our bodies are over two-thirds water, the oxygen and hydrogen source is
virtually unlimited. This cascading time release of oxygen and
hydrogen typically peaks within 8- 12 hours, and can continue for up to 3 days. The body's
natural intelligence releases the oxygen and hydrogen whenever and wherever
they are needed - and if no longer needed, no more is released. The essential
minerals, enzymes, amino acids and electrolytes are delivered simultaneously throughout
the body on the deepest cellular level.
Cellfood was developed as a di-pole, di-base delivery system - to deliver
nutrients to cells and tissues under any conditions. Di-pole means Cellfood is
effective in any polarity range of the body. Di-base means Cellfood is
effective in any pH range within the body and will tend to normalize the body's
acid-base balance by delivering its 78 essential minerals as enzymatic
cofactors - assisting critical enzymatic reactions to proceed optimally. And
though it is very powerful, there is no known toxicity associated with
Cellfood.
Scientists Simeonton, Likhovsky and Bovis estimated that the average human
body radiates a life force frequency of 6,500 angstroms - with cancer
patients radiating at 1,875 angstroms (the same measurement as for refined
white bread). Just one drop of Cellfood's powerful 'electromagnetic equation' in
6-8 ounces of water emanates 77,000 units of radiant life energy - bringing a
dramatic increase in life force to every cell of the body.
It takes 6 months to create each batch of Cellfood, in a process similar to
aging fine wine. Sourced from all-natural and pure plant sources, it is unique
among dietary supplements.

Enhanced Oxygen
Oxygen is vital to the healthy functioning of our body— it fuels all of its
systems, fires its chemical reactions, and eliminates wastes and toxins.
Cellfood enhances the critical bioavailability of oxygen to the body through
its unique ability to 'dissociate' water molecules within the body— resulting
in the release of abundant nascent oxygen, and hydrogen, directly to the cells.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cellfood a medicine? No, Cellfood is not a medicine. Cellfood is currently
classified as a nutritional supplement.
What is the shelf life of Cellfood? The shelf life is indefinite. Recent
testing of 25 year old samples have demonstrated an improvement in potency.
How does the body absorb Cellfood? The nutrients in Cellfood are in colloidal
form. Colloidal particles are minute (4-7 nanometers in diameter), and because
of the Brownian Movement Phenomenon, they take on a negative charge and remain
suspended in liquid. Because most bodily fluids are are colloidal and
negatively charged, the body perceives Cellfood as normal healthy body fluid
and allows the nutrients to pass immediately through the sensitive membranes of
the mouth, throat, and esophagus, directly into the blood stream.
How does it work? Cellfood enables nascent oxygen to be generated by the
splitting of water molecules in the body into atoms of nascent oxygen and
hydrogen. In biochemical terms, a newly born singlet atom of oxygen is negatively
charged (O-). Free radicals (which many biochemists believe are the primary
cause of the aging process and degenerative disease) are positively charged
singlet atoms of oxygen (O+). The nascent oxygen atom (O-) is attracted to the
(O+) forming a molecule of pure oxygen (O2) at the cellular level where it is
needed.
How is Cellfood different from other so-called oxygen products? Many other
so-called oxygen products tend to flood the body with oxygen, often creating
dangerous oxygen free radicals. "The release of these reactive oxygen
species results in oxidative injury to biologic systems such as lipids found in
cell membranes, and proteins found in blood vessels and myocardial
tissues." (Professors Ashim Ghatak and Mahesh Chandra: Complementary
Medicine, page 13, volume 4, number 1, 1998) Cellfood actually bonds with
dangerous oxygen free radicals supplying the body with usable pure oxygen, in a
time-release manner, directly to the cells.
How do I take Cellfood? Cellfood is a liquid concentrate, taken orally by
mixing a number of drops (see individual label for instructions) in water. If
you use ordinary tap water, Cellfood begins purifying the water and the benefit
you receive from Cellfood is reduced. Cellfood has a slightly sour lemon taste
and should you find this unpleasant, you can use more water or mix Cellfood
with a fruit juice.
Can I overdose on Cellfood? No, Cellfood is a nutritional supplement made from
natural substances. The body only uses what it needs, and eliminates the rest
through the normal channels of elimination.
What happens if I get no results? Sometimes a person is unaware of the
"work" that Cellfood is facilitating at deep cellular levels. People
who first reported "no results" from taking Cellfood later reported,
after physical examinations, that their cholesterol and blood pressure levels
had dropped significantly. These are similar accounts regarding the
normalization of uric acid and blood sugar levels. Additionally, Cellfood is
designed to raise the frequencies of all organs, making them more resistant to
the lower frequencies of viruses, bacteria, and parasites. This fortilization
of the immune system helps the body become more capable of combating
micro-organisms that could be detrimental to your general health.
Am I "cheating" if I use Cellfood during sports competitions? No,
Cellfood is made from the finest natural ingredients, none of which are on the
"banned list of substances" issued and governed by international,
professional, and amateur athletic associations.
What if I am already taking medicine? Cellfood can be used in conjunction with
other nutritional supplements or medicines because it increases the
bioavailability of these other substances enabling the body to more effectively
use them. Many Cellfood users have reported within a few weeks or months of
continual use, a gradual decrease in need for medication. If you are pregnant
of under medical care, please consult your medical practitioner before using.
CANCER FACTS *** Globally, the most common types of cancer

Why
oxidizing cells are so important in the fight against fighting cancer
"If the condition of
our extra cellular fluids, especially the blood, becomes acidic, our physical
condition will first manifest tiredness, proneness to catching colds, etc. When
these fluids become more acidic, our condition then manifests pains and
suffering such
as headaches, chest pains,
stomach aches, etc. If the Blood develops a more acidic condition, then our
body inevitably deposits these excess acidic substances in some area of the
body such so that the blood will not be able to maintain an alkaline condition
which causes these areas such as the cells to become acidic and lowers in
oxygen.
As this tendency
continues, such areas increase in acidity and some cells die; then these dead
cells themselves turn into acids. However, some other cells may adapt in that
environment. In other words, instead of dying - as normal cells do in an acid
environment - some cells survive by becoming abnormal cells. These abnormal
cells are called malignant cells. Malignant cells do not correspond with brain
function nor with our own DNA memory code. Therefore, malignant cells grow
indefinitely and without order. This is cancer."
One of the least understood
concepts of nutrition is understanding what acid and alkaline balance is.
The cells of the human body
depend on a balanced acid-alkaline pH. If any body fluids are abnormal,
digestive enzymes are rendered inactive, food does not digest properly, and
allergic reactions can result. Food-bound microorganisms such as yeast,
bacteria, parasites, molds, viruses, etc. are liberated in the body, which puts
stress on the immune system.
The body is largely made up of
water, a medium which is biologically useful in allowing nutrients, oxygen and
bio-chemicals to be transported from place to place. This water-based medium
can have either acid or alkaline properties that are measured by a graduated
scale called pH (for potential hydrogen), wherein 1.0 to 6.9 is considered
acidic, 7.0 is neutral and 7.1 to 14.0 is alkaline. The lower the pH number,
the greater the acidity, and the higher the pH number, the greater the
alkalinity.
Optimally, we want the
fluids in our bodies to have a neutral or 7.0-7.2 pH level. Under 5.3 the body
cannot assimilate vitamins or minerals, it must be above 6.4 for maximum
utilization and weight loss. Urine or saliva pH levels should be tested in A.M.
prior to eating, drinking, or exercising.
Why
should we be concerned about pH levels?
Since most of the body is
water-based (50-60%), the pH level has profound effects on all body chemistry,
health and disease. All regulatory mechanisms (including breathing,
circulation, digestion, hormonal production) serve the purpose of balancing pH,
by removing caustic metabolized acid residues from body tissues without
damaging living cells.
If the pH deviates too far
to the acid side or too far to the alkaline side, cells become poisoned by
their own toxic waste and die. Just as acid rain can destroy a forest and
alkaline wastes can pollute a lake, an imbalanced pH corrodes body tissue,
slowly eating into the 60,000 miles of veins and arteries like corrosives
eating into marble. If left unchecked, an imbalanced pH will interrupt cellular
activities and functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural firing
of your brain.
Our bodies contain many
toxins, chemicals, parasites, fungus, bacteria and yeast that, if not cleansed
from our system, tend to develop into major illnesses. Most people use soaps
that contain animal-fat that may cause the pores of the skin to clog, thereby
trapping chemicals and toxins in the body.
Understanding
pH Level and Why Many People Develope Cancer and
Other
Diseases
According to research, total healing of chronic illness ONLY takes
place when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH.
pH: what does it mean?
pH is the abbreviation for Potential
Hydrogen or the measurement of hydrogen-ion concentration of any solution.
The higher the pH reading, the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid is. The
lower the reading, the more acidic and oxygen deprived the fluid is.
The pH scale is from 0 to 14
with 7.0 being neutral. Anything above 7.0 is alkaline; anything below 7.0 is
acid. To be considered healthy, human blood must maintain a narrow pH range of
7.365. Any slight variation means symptoms and disease. If blood pH drops
below 6.8 or increases above 7.8, cells stop functioning and the patient dies. Blood pH is difficult to test, however, home test
kits are available to test urine and saliva pH. Optimum urine and saliva pH is
7.0 to 7.4. Test your pH each morning before food, drink or exercise. If you
have health problems, this is a sign that you are acidic.
When the body goes into
extreme acidosis, the kidneys start producing ammonia, which may cause the pH
to test too alkaline (low pH). This condition is frequently found in elderly
people and is the cause of the unpleasant odor in senior citizen homes.
Treating for acidosis will help the kidneys to stop producing ammonia.
In 1964, only 1 person in
214 contracted Cancer. Today it is 1 in 3 females and 1 in 2 males. The
determining factor between health and disease is pH. It is not uncommon for the
average American to test between 4-pH and 5-pH.
Research shows that unless
the body's pH level is slightly alkaline, the body cannot heal itself
So, no matter
what type of modality you use to improve your health problem, the modality
won't be effective until the pH level comes up.
Drugs, medications and toxic
chemicals have the effect of lowering the pH of the body, that is the reason
why there are side effects to drugs and none of them affect a cure.
When body pH drops below
6.4, enzymes are deactivated, digestion does not work properly; vitamins,
minerals and food supplements cannot effectively assimilate. Acid decreases
energy production in the cells, the ability to repair damaged cells, the
ability to detoxify heavy metals and makes the body more susceptible to fatigue
and illness.
Your body pH affects everything.
Research has proven that
disease cannot survive in an alkaline state, and that, viruses, bacteria,
yeast, mold, fungus, Candida and Cancer cells thrive in an acidic, low oxygen /
low pH environment.
An acid pH can result from
an acid forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions
or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients.
The body will try to
compensate for acid by using alkaline minerals, like sodium from the stomach
and calcium from the bones. This is the cause of Osteoporosis and a number of
other diseases. If there are not enough minerals in the diet to compensate, a
build up of acids in the cells will occur, resulting in symptoms like pain,
Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, MS, Lupus, etc.
There are two factors that
are ALWAYS present with Cancer no matter what else may be present.
Those two
factors are:
1. Acidic pH,
and
2. Lack of
Oxygen
Can we manipulate those
two factors that always have to be present for Cancer to develop?
If we can, will we be able
to reverse the Cancer? If so, we need to learn how to manipulate pH and Oxygen.
Remember, the pH
number is an exponent number of 10;
therefore, a small difference
in pH translates to a BIG difference in the number of oxygen or OH-ions. In other words, blood with a pH value of 7.45 contains 64.9% more oxygen than
blood with a pH value of 7.3.
Cancer needs
an acid/low oxygen environment to survive and flourish. The bodies of terminal cancer patients are
approximately 1000 times more acidic than they should be. This equates to
dangerously low amounts of oxygen at the cellular level.
Cancer is not
compatible in a healthy pH environment full of oxygen. For example, CANCER OF THE HEART DOESN'T EXIST; this is because blood flowing from the lungs into the
heart at the highest pH and oxygen levels within the entire body. As the blood
travels threw the lungs, acidic toxins are thrown out of the system leaving it
rich with oxygen and a high blood pH. In the absence of oxygen, glucose
undergoes fermentation to lactic acid. This causes the pH of the cell to drop
even lower. Urine and
saliva pH of terminal cancer patients almost always runs between 4.0 and 5.5. When the cancer goes into metastases the
pH drops even lower.
Our bodies simply cannot
effectively fight disease if our body pH is not properly balanced. In other
words, it’s either alkalized or dies. It's that important!

A natural and safe
mineral, high in Clinoptilolite, the active ingredient in the removal of heavy
metals and toxins from the body
Note: This is used only as a 30-45 day Heavy Metal and Toxin Removal Protocol and is not recommended as a regular daily
supplement. THIS
IS A STAND ALONE PROTOCOL
Toxins poison our air, our
water, our food, and our bodies. According to the EPA, 70,000 chemicals are
used commercially in the U.S., 65,000 of which are potentially hazardous to our
health. The Environmental Defense Council reports that more than four billion
pounds of toxic chemicals are released into the environment each year,
including 72 million pounds of known carcinogens.
Cancer fatalities account
for approximately 12 percent of all deaths worldwide each year. Across the
globe, 10.9 million people are diagnosed with cancer annually and 6.7 million
die because of it. According to the World Health Organization, global cancer
rates could increase by 50 percent in the next 15 years. The U.S. ranks in the
top three countries with the highest cancer rate in both men and women.
The toxic onslaught doesn’t
stop with carcinogens. A joint study by Mt. Sinai School of Medicine,
Commonweal, and the Environmental Working Group in 2003 identified a total of
167 hazardous compounds in the blood and urine of American adults (with an
average of 91 per person tested), including 76 known to cause cancer, 94 that
are toxic to the nervous system, 82 that damage the lungs, 86 that affect
hormone function, and 79 that cause birth defects. A study by the Environmental
Working Group in 2004 found a total of 287 industrial chemicals in babies’
umbilical-cord blood, including 180 known to cause cancer, 217 that are toxic
to the brain and nervous system.
As many as 25 percent of
Americans are estimated to suffer from some degree of heavy metal poisoning,
particularly from mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic. We are also exposed to a
significant amount of radiation and increasing viral attacks. Our immune
systems are further compromised by poor nutrition and unhealthy lifestyles, and
most of us suffer from an excessively acidic pH level, which creates an
internal environment in which cancer – as well as viral, bacterial, and fungal
infections – can thrive.
What it Is
Recently, I learned about zeolite, a naturally occurring negatively charged mineral,
with a unique crystalline structure. Zeolite is formed from the fusion of
volcanic lava and ocean water, and combines the four elements – air, earth,
water, and fire.
It
has been used for 800 years throughout Asia as a traditional remedy to promote
overall health and well being. It has also undergone 13 years of pharmaceutical
research in the U.S. with humans. Zeolite is included on the Food and Drug
Administration’s GRAS list (generally recognized as safe) and thus is
considered to be “completely safe.”
Zeolite may well be one of
the most potent natural preventatives and treatments for cancer ever
discovered. Life Link Pharmaceuticals
recently completed a preliminary, 14-month, open-label study of 65 level-four,
terminal-stage cancer patients. These people had various types of cancer, and
all of them had been sent home to die. After taking zeolite, 51 of them (78
percent) experienced complete remission, which means that their cancer
disappeared. This preliminary research suggests that zeolite
may be effective in treating all forms of cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma.
How it Works
Zeolite’s mechanism of
action against cancer cells is unique and unlike that of any other substance I
have studied. Theoretically, it has the rare ability to take in a tremendous
amount of positively charged toxins, indirectly neutralizing their effect in
causing cancer. In the process, the zeolite develops a slight positive charge.
It is then attracted to and pulled right into the negatively charged membrane
of the cancer cell. When the zeolite moves inside the cancer cell, the cell’s
P21 gene is activated. This gene acts as a tumor suppressor through its ability
to control cell-cycle progression. The activation of P21 appears to halt the
growth of tumors by directly suppressing growth signals.
During in-vitro studies
using zeolite, all cancer cells tested were destroyed within 72 hours . This is
a claim that cannot be made about any other substance. However, because it is
still in the preliminary research phase, it is too soon to declare that zeolite
is a cure for cancer.
What I can say is that zeolite has a chelation-like effect in removing
heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and other positively charged toxins from
the system. Zeolite’s negatively charged crystalline structure
is what makes this possible. Its crystals act as “cages,” inside of which are
positive ions. These positive ions switch places with positively charged toxins
in the body, tightly bind them, and excrete them completely.
One
of the benefits of binding toxins in this manner is that they are 100 percent
excreted. Heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides all leave the system; they
do not get deposited elsewhere in the body. Forty percent of zeolite binds
heavy metals in the gastrointestinal tract, and 60 percent binds toxins in the
bloodstream and at the cellular level. Zeolite’s
binding power was proven during the Chernobyl disaster, when tons of it was
used to remove radioactive cesium and strontium-90 before they contaminated
local water systems. Acting primarily as a chelator, zeolite trapped these
radioactive minerals within its crystalline cage structure.
Zeolite appears to remove
toxins from the body in a hierarchical order. It first acts strongly to remove lead, mercury,
cadmium, and arsenic. This first phase may take one to four
weeks or longer. Zeolite then removes second-priority toxins, including
pesticides, herbicides, and plastics. Zeolite
appears to increase the rate of glucuronization in the liver, activating
phase II of the glucuronidase function. This in turn removes pesticides, herbicides, and xeno-estrogens
from the body, releasing them through the urine.
Interestingly, it also appears to neutralize the aflatoxin poison.
(Note: THIS IS HUGE!! I have been looking for something
that does this for years! I still have yet to see the actual studies...)
A third function of zeolite is to trap pre-virus
components, preventing the replication of viruses and their ability to make us
sick. In this way, zeolite may play an important role as a
broad-spectrum anti-viral. Viruses are produced in parts as on a production
line, at the end of which the virus is fully constructed. Zeolite absorbs viral
parts into the pores of the mirconized zeolite aggregates (not into the
chelating-like cages described above).
This explains why zeolite seems to block the development of many viral
infections, including herpes virus 1, coxsachie virus B-5,
ecco-virus 7, and adeno virus 5.
Forty anecdotal cases of
herpes zoster have reportedly been cured, with sufferers becoming pain-free in
one to three days after beginning to take zeolite. Anecdotal testimony also
reports that it is effective in alleviating or curing the flu, colds, hepatitis
C, viral or heavy metal induced multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Zeolite’s effect as an anti-viral appears to be a preventative function that
builds up over time, beginning after approximately four to six weeks of use,
when heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides have been mostly eliminated.
There is anecdotal evidence, however, that in some cases its anti-viral effect
seems to be immediate.
Zeolite
also is a unique antioxidant. A traditional
antioxidant works by absorbing excess free radicals into its system because it
has an unpaired electron. In contrast, zeolite traps free radicals in its
complex structure, inactivating and eliminating them. In this way, it acts as a
complement to traditional antioxidants.
In addition, zeolite buffers the system towards slight alkalinity
by establishing pH levels of 7.35 to 7.45, which is the optimum pH for the
human body. The body’s pH level influences both immunity
and brain function. An acid blood pH (7.34 or lower) creates a precondition for
cancer. In an acid environment, brain cell function can also be impaired,
causing depression, anxiety, stupor, paranoia, delusions, hallucinations, or
even psychosis.
Zeolite
also appears to balance the immune system , either up- or down-regulating it as
needed. Although the precise
mechanism for this is not entirely understood, this function is clearly very
important in a world in which most people’s immune systems are seriously
compromised.
Zeolite
and Depression
Because zeolite so powerfully
removes various types of toxins from the body, it naturally increases energy
and well-being. Users report improvements in mental clarity and a sense of
peace, wellness, and happiness. These are what we term positive secondary
effects. For example, clearing out heavy metals allows the body’s magnesium
stores to work efficiently with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the biological
source of energy in the body. When this interaction is occurring optimally,
people have more energy and experience greater well-being. One study has demonstrated that zeolite also appears
to increase serotonin level, which is known to help
alleviate some forms of depression.
Before
Pregnancy
Zeolite shows promise as an
effective detoxifier for women who plan to become pregnant. Recently, at the
Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, it was added to the protocol for the 10-day
detoxification program for prospective mothers. In two women who just completed
the program, toxins in their breast
tissue dropped significantly – from 12 in one and 13 in the other to only two –
in seven days. Toxins in their liver and brain tissue also
dropped to an average of only two.
Based on centuries of use in
Asia and anecdotal accounts of its use by pregnant women, zeolite appears to be
safe even for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. However, its safe use in
pregnancy has not been tested in double-blind studies, and no claims for safe
use in pregnancy can be made.
Zeolite
is commercially available. There are no reports of side effects, except one:
because of its natural action to absorb water, zeolite can cause dehydration. It is therefore important to drink sufficient water
(approximately eight glasses a day) both before and while taking zeolite to
ensure adequate hydration.
There is only one
contraindication: Zeolite is
contraindicated for anyone taking a medication containing heavy metals, such as
lithium, or containing platinum, which is found in some cancer medications.
Before taking Zeolite, check with your doctor to determine if your medication
contains heavy metals or platinum.
WARNING “LIQUID” ZEOLITE (In purified,
enhanced or activated form) An official response to the “Liquid” Zeolite issue Written by:Micah Portney, M.A. October 1, 2007 Dear Friends, I am writing this letter
in response to the “liquid” Zeolite companies that have popped up in the last couple of
years. This response is not directed toward any specific company. Its purpose
is to provide you with the information you need to see through the smoke and
mirrors and to address the numerous manipulations of fact. It can be very frustrating
for people who are exposed to a great volume of information to decipher what
is fact and what is fiction. That is exactly what professional marketers are
expecting and welcoming. These marketing firms often inundate consumers with
a mix of real facts and a manipulation of others to sell their products. Let me start with the real facts about Zeolite: Myth #1: There
is some magic or proprietary process which can turn the mineral Zeolite into a liquid,
while maintaining its benefits. FACT: Zeolite
is a solid by nature. It was formed when molten lava came in contact with
seawater millions of years ago. Its health benefits are a result of its
cage-like structure and its natural occurring negative charge. That negative
charge allows Zeolite to attract positively charged metals and toxins like a
magnet, trap them in its cage-like structure and draw them out of the body.
Any manipulation of this solid (such as making it liquid), destroys the
beneficial cage-like structure and negative charge, rendering what’s left (a
pool of elements) useless and possibly even dangerous. Lets
take a look at the multi-level marketed (“MLM”) “liquid” Zeolite product for a moment: Start with the fact that
Zeolite is a compound made up of many different elements that make up the
cage-like structure. Now look at this simple scenario to better understand:
We use bridges every day to cross-rivers and drive over obstacles. Bridges
are made up of, among other things, steel, rivets, bolts and cables. It takes
all of these parts, used together, to make up this beneficial structure which
allows us to overcome these obstacles. What would happen if you broke the
bridge down to its pieces and parts, threw them all in the river and tried to
drive over it? You would end up driving over a cliff! Not very beneficial as
pieces and parts, is it? The same is true with any
“liquid” Zeolite product. They expose the beneficial Zeolite structure to Hydrochloric
acid (much stronger than stomach acid) and extreme heat in order to liquefy
it (the only 2 known ways to destroy a Zeolite structure). The result is a
pool of elements (remember the pieces and parts?) that originally made up the
Zeolite structure. Just like the bridge scenario, it is no longer beneficial
as parts. I have personally spoken
with the inventor of the process used to create the MLM liquid, who admits
that he never claimed that the liquid was a Zeolite after his process. His
purpose was to invent something that would be beneficial when injected
directly into a tumor. There were no claims made about benefits of the
liquid when ingested. The MLM company decided
that they needed to call the liquid a Zeolite to be able to utilize the scientific
studies on Zeolite powder as proof in order to market it. They also took the
liberty of marketing it as an ingestible liquid. All very clever manipulation
of facts in order to make money. Myth #2: There have been scientific studies done on the liquid
products. FACT: All of the published scientific studies ever done
on Zeolite showing it beneficial for health (detox, diarrhea, immune
boosting, cancer, etc.) have been done using the powdered form of the
mineral, including those studies being referenced by the liquid companies.
There have never been any published studies done on the liquid. This is a
multimillion-dollar organization, which uses network marketing and can spread
any information like wildfire. You have to believe that results of an
independent liquid scientific study would have been everywhere had their
product results been shown to be statistically significant. Myth #3: There is enough Zeolite in ANY liquid product (including the Zeolite suspensions) to be beneficial and get the health results seen in the scientific studies. FACT: The dosage of Zeolite used in the scientific
studies showing it beneficial for detox, cancer, immune boosting, etc. used a
dose of between 4,000 mg to 15,000 mg per day. The therapeutic dose of Humic
Acid (used as the suspension in some liquids who claim it helps Zeolite get
into the cell) is 33mg per day minimum. There is a reason why these companies
do not put the supplemental facts for their ingredients on their label, which
by the way, is required by the FDA! You would have to drink at least 20
bottles per day of the suspensions to even get the minimum beneficial dose.
With liquid products, you obviously are not getting ANY actual Zeolite! Don’t trust me, call the
“liquid” Zeolite companies and see for yourself: 1. Ask how much Humic Acid is in the product. Is it
33mg per dose or for the whole bottle? 2. Is the liquid black? Humic Acid is black. If its
not, it is probably diluted Fulvic Acid or even just plain water. 3. Ask how much Zeolite is in their product. Are they
trying to tell you parts per million? Do they dance around the subject or can
they give you the straight answer in Milligrams, which is how Zeolite is
dosed in the scientific studies? 4. Is the liquid clear? Can you feel anything in your
fingers or is it just plain liquid? Remember, Zeolite is a solid and is
silica based like sand. If it is not gritty, chances are that there is no
Zeolite at all. Myth #4: Liquid Zeolite is able to penetrate the cell
walls quicker since it is liquid. The powder can’t get into the cells. FACT: All of the scientific studies have used powdered
micronized Zeolite. This form of Zeolite has been shown to be effective and
beneficial; therefore, the powder CAN penetrate the cells and provide the
health benefits that Zeolite has been shown to do in the studies. Given that
there is evidence that the liquid is no longer even a Zeolite, since its
beneficial structure was destroyed, what is it that they claim penetrating
the cell walls? A puddle of elements which originally made up the Zeolite?
This just doesn’t make sense, nor is there scientific evidence to support
this. Again, this is fiction,
created by a clever marketing department. See for yourself; ask these
companies for independent scientific proof or evidence (an independent study)
of their claims! There is none. Myth #5: The liquid companies said that the powder has
heavy metals in it and that the liquid is clean. FACT: This is one of my favorite twists that the marketing
teams came up with. I have to appreciate the creativity. All Zeolites contain
heavy metals. Zeolites are, by nature, negatively charged and exist in the
ground near where heavy metals, which are positively charged, exist
naturally. The 2 will obviously be attracted to each other, that is simple
science. There are 2 ways that
heavy metals can be in a Zeolite. The first is actually being one of the
elements that make up the walls in the cage-like structure, since the heavy
metals were there while the Zeolite was being formed. The second is being
attracted into the cage after the Zeolite is formed. The MLM marketing team
was correct in the fact that if you ingest a Zeolite where the heavy metals
were attracted into the cage after it was formed, the cage can be full and be
less effective. This is the case with almost all of the Zeolite mined in the
United States (which is why we don’t use Zeolite mined in the USA for our
products). When there are heavy
metals in the Zeolite walls from when it was formed, stomach acid is not
strong enough to destroy the structure. We have proven this fact using
independent labs, which mimic stomach acid based on FDA protocols for the
study. Here is the real kicker…
Remember I told you that there are only 2 things that can destroy a Zeolite
structure? Hydrochloric acid and high heat (remember it was lava or magma
when it started). Both of these structure-destroying processes are used in
making the MLM liquid Zeolite. Ask yourself: What happens when you destroy
the structure and create a pool of elements that originally made up the
structure? Even if the heavy metals were safe in the cage walls before the
process, they are now loose, readily and bio-available to be absorbed by the
body. We have had the MLM liquid
analyzed in an independent lab to confirm that heavy metals exist loosely in
the liquid Zeolite product. Myth #6: Great, I see that the real and effective Zeolite
is micronized powder. There are plenty of people selling Zeolite powder. Even
my pool store has it. I can just go buy it and start consuming it. FACT: Almost all of the Zeolite mines in the world mine
Zeolite for commercial purposes (toxic cleanups, water filter media, pool
filter media, soil additive, etc.). They are not concerned with the purity of
the mineral since it is for commercial purposes and is not intended for human
consumption. There are roughly between 50-60 different forms of Zeolite in
the world, two of them toxic to humans. The beneficial form of Zeolite is
called Clinoptilolite. Sometimes one of the toxic forms of Zeolite called
Erionite is found with Clinoptilolite. The equipment to test for Erionite is
very expensive and so is running the tests. Most commercial mines don’t test
for Erionite since the tests are so expensive and the Zeolite is being used
for commercial purposes anyway. For their uses, it is an unnecessary expense.
Many mines also include additives for commercial purposes that can be
dangerous to ingest. I hope that this
information has been helpful in educating you on the facts about Zeolite. It is a very beneficial
mineral given to us by nature and should be used as nature intended it to be. Don’t let these fly by
night companies or MLM’s fool you with scare tactics and manipulation of
facts so they can make millions of dollars selling snake oil using the name
of a very beneficial mineral. Don’t fall for buzzwords like bio-available or
cellular. Micronized Zeolite is bio-available and reaches the cells by nature’s
design. I am sure that all of
these “liquid” companies will be angry that I wrote this letter. However, I
knew that it was time that I offered everyone the true facts about Zeolite
and cleared away the smoke and mirrors and marketing manipulation of facts
surrounding these so called “liquid” Zeolites. May this letter find you in
the best of health. Best Regards, Micah Portney, M.A. West

END OF TOPIC #10
In
my research, Dr Johanna Budwig’s name has been referred to on numerous
occasions. The articles mentioned that Dr Budwig was using Organic Flaxseed Oil
combined with Organic Low Fat Cottage Cheese in preventing and curing Cancer
and Chronic Diseases. I would just shake my head in disbelief and, without
giving it a second thought, move onto other research. I was not willing to take
the time to investigate this protocol. It did not make any sense to me how this
could possibly work. That was a big mistake.
The Budwig
Protocol
Only
use Flax Oil from the refrigerated section of your health food store. Never use
capsules, flakes or flax oil from the shelves. It must be refrigerated and
check the expiration date to make sure it has not expired. I would not use High Lignum Flax Oil because the taste is not clean and you cannot
tell if it is rancid. They have left the husk from the processing of the seeds
in the bottom of the bottle, leaving less product. You want good clean tasting
oil and no flavoring added as some oils
are doing.
The
mixing ratio is two tablespoons of cottage cheese to one tablespoon of oil. Mix
only the amount you are consuming at one time so it is mixed fresh each and
every time. One example would be to mix (4) tablespoons of cottage cheese to
(2) tablespoons of flax oil, consumed twice daily or more depending on the
severity of the health condition, one is attempting to address. One should
probably start slowly with the oil, maybe just once a day and work their way up
letting the body adjust to the protocol. The
oil and the cottage cheese must be thoroughly mixed at a low speed, using an
Immersion Blender, blending until a creamy texture with no standing oil is
achieved. The mixture should then be immediately consumed.
I
have always recommended using the immersion [stick or wand like] mixer for the
Flax Seed Oil and Cottage Cheese
One
may want to consider sprinkling a tablespoon or two of freshly ground Golden
Flaxseed over top of the freshly mixed flax oil and cottage cheese mixture. Mix
this in by hand. This super charges the protocol. Do not buy pre-ground flax
seed as the flax seed goes rancid 15 minutes after grinding. Golden whole
flaxseed is available at the health food stores and either will work. You may
grind up the fresh flax seed with a small coffee grinder. Store the seeds in
the refrigerator and grind fresh each time.
.
You
may also stir in with a spoon 2-3 tablespoons of organic lowfat milk for a
creamer mixture. This can be mixed in by hand after the initial blending. The
mixture can be flavored differently every day by adding nuts, preferably
organic such as pecans, almonds or walnuts (not peanuts), banana, organic
cocoa, organic shredded coconut, pineapple (fresh), blueberries, raspberries,
cinnamon, or (freshly) squeezed
fruit juice. It’s usually best to place the fresh fruit on top of the completed
mixture and enjoy as its own meal. Try your best to obtain organic fruit when
possible. Many times this can be found frozen when not in season.
Dr
Budwig pointed out that people who are suffering from Chronic or Terminal
disease should work themselves up to consuming 4 - 8 Tbs of the oil daily.
Usually the higher limits 6 - 8 Tbs were for people with cancer. She stated,
people with Liver or Pancreatic Cancer etc, may have to work up very slowly
with the oil and possibly only start with 1 teaspoon at a time giving their
body time to adjust.
Dr
Budwig pointed out that cancer patients once starting the protocol and getting
it under control must continue with a maintenance dose to prevent reoccurrence.
A maintenance dose is considered (1) Tbs of the oil per one hundred pounds of
body weight. The Budwig Diet takes time to work and in the event of cancer,
tumors, etc may take 3-6 months to see results. Many other health issues may
respond much faster.
How to prepare the Budwig
Flaxseed Oil & Cottage Cheese Recipe (FOCC)
The following items listed
below should be avoided on this diet.
The
reason one needs to exclude these items from his / her diet is that they
interfere with the diet by lowering the voltage field in the cells.
Also
here is a very good YouTube Video, which actually shows how to make the Flax
Oil and Cottage Cheese mixture correctly. When starting the protocol you would
not want to make such a large amount at first, as shown in the video.
If
you are Lactose Intolerant you may want to try the following. Since commercial
milk is pasteurized, beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the milk and dairy
products are destroyed. This has led to a number of people having difficulty in
tolerating quark or cottage cheese.
Dairy
is an important component in Dr. Budwig's Oil-Protein Diet. Because good
substitutes are hard to find, it is worthwhile for those who are lactose
intolerant to try different ways of tolerating dairy.
Some
possibilities (in no particular order):
FSO2 member Cheryl du Toit says this about kefir in
message #29710:
"Kefir cottage cheese (or quark) is most
certainly our solution for lactose
intolerant people. It works like a charm."
If one does not wish to make kefir, it can be
purchased from the health food store in the refrigerated section. Organic Kefir
comes in a liquid and the oil may be stirred into the kefir and consumed. It
tastes very good. Make sure the oil is totally dissolved into the kefir before
consuming. You may want to check with the health food store and see if they
have a kefir cheese similar to cottage cheese, which should work, as long as
the flax oil blends in and does not float back to the top.
In
the case of a person with a feeding tube one could mix flax oil into the
organic kefir by hand as mentioned above. Then pour into the feeding tube.
Again, this can be done using ¼ cup kefir to 1 tablespoon of the flax oil and
given through out the day at different times. You may be able to use even a
little more oil with the ¼ cup kefir. One may have to play with the mixture to
get the desired results. Make sure there is no oil floating on top of the kefir
before pouring into the feeding tube.
Hydrogen Peroxide - Curse or Cure?
WARNING: H2O2 IS NOT recommend
internally for general
health care, but just for
cancers and other life-threatening health problems, for the following
reasons: *** For those who
want to increase or maintain optimum oxygen levels on
a daily click
here |
1.
It
kills your friendly flora, and can cause intestinal problems. (Despite
Lactobacillus bacteria producing their own H2O2 in minute amounts, as the
article mentions, the large amounts of H2O2 ingested with various protocol WILL
kill these bacteria).
2.
It is
a potent free radical, and can do cellular damage, especially if used
long-term.
When it comes to hydrogen
peroxide therapy there seems to be only two points of view.
1. Supporters consider it one of the greatest healing
miracles of all time.
2. Those opposed feel its ingestion is exceptionally
dangerous, and only the foolhardy could think of engaging in such behavior.
Before either condemning or
endorsing hydrogen peroxide, let's take a real close look at what we're dealing
with.
If any substance is
interesting, it's hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide should really be called
hydrogen dioxide. Its chemical formula is H2O2. It contains one more atom of
oxygen than does water (H20)
By now everyone's aware of
the ozone layer that surrounds the earth. Ozone consists of three atoms of
oxygen (03). This protective layer of ozone is created when ultraviolet light
from the sun splits an atmospheric oxygen molecule (02) into two single,
unstable oxygen atoms.
These single molecules
combine with others to form ozone (03). Ozone isn't very stable. In fact, it
will quickly give up that extra atom of oxygen to falling rainwater to form
hydrogen peroxide (FG-H2O2). (Bare with me: all this chemistry mumbo jumbo I'm
going through actually will help you understand the importance of hydrogen
peroxide.)
Hydrogen peroxide is
odorless and colorless, but not tasteless. When stored under the proper
conditions, it is a very stable compound. When kept in the absence of light and
contaminants, it dismutates (breaks down) very slowly at the rate of about 10%
a year.
(This can be slowed even
further by storing the liquid in the freezer.) It boils at 152 degrees C and
freezes at minus 2 degrees C. When exposed to other compounds hydrogen peroxide
dismutates readily. The extra oxygen atom is released leaving H20 (water). In
nature oxygen (02) consists of two atoms--a very stable combination.
A single atom of oxygen,
however, is very reactive and is referred to as a free radical. Over the past
several years, I’ve continually read that these free radicals are responsible
for all types of ailments and even premature aging. What many writers seem to forget,
however, is that our bodies create and use free radicals to destroy harmful
bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In fact, the cells responsible for fighting
infection and foreign invaders in the body (your white blood cells) make
hydrogen peroxide and use it to oxidize any offending culprits.
The intense bubbling you see
when hydrogen peroxide comes in contact with a bacteria-laden cut or wound is
the oxygen being released and bacteria being destroyed. The ability of our cells to produce
hydrogen peroxide is essential for life.
FG-H2O2 is not some undesirable by-product or toxin, but instead a basic requirement for good health. Newer research indicates we need hydrogen peroxide
for a multitude of other chemical reactions that take place throughout the body.
For example, we now know
that vitamin C helps fight infections by producing hydrogen peroxide, which in
turn stimulates the production of prostaglandins. Also lactobacillus found in
the colon and vagina produce hydrogen peroxide. This destroys harmful bacteria
and viruses, preventing colon disease, vaginitis, bladder infections and a host
of other common ailments. (Infect Dis News Aug.8,91:5).
When lactobacillus in the
colon or vaginal tract have been overrun with harmful viruses, yeast, or
bacteria, an effective douche or enema solution can be made using 3 tablespoons
of 3% FG-H2O2 in 1 quart of distilled water. Keep in mind, however, that a good
bacterial flora must always be re-established in theses areas to achieve
lasting results.
While we are discussing
enemas and douches, there is another misconception about FG-H2O2 I need to
address. The friendly bacteria in the colon and vagina are aerobic. In other
words, they flourish in high oxygen environments and thrive in the presence of
oxygen rich FG-H2O2.
On the other hand, most strains of harmful bacteria (and cancer cells) are anaerobic and cannot survive in the
presence of oxygen or FG-H2O2.
Can we agree that
hydrogen peroxide produced within individual body cells is essential for life?
And no one doubts its effectiveness when it comes to treating infections
topically. The controversy deals with
ingesting the substance orally or introducing it into the body intravenously.
The dispute has been going on for decades, and considering the attitude of our medical
community, it will continue for many more decades to come.
I'll admit I was skeptical
when I first learned about using FG-H2O2 orally or intravenously. This healthy
dose of skepticism, however, leads to a great deal of investigation, clinical
work and experimentation. And while I realize a large majority of readers will
probably never be convinced that FG-H2O2 is a safe and effective compound, I
am. Hydrogen peroxide is safe, readily available and dirt-cheap. And best of
all, it works!
No one yet fully understands
the complete workings of hydrogen peroxide. We do know that it is loaded with
oxygen. (A pint of the
food-grade 35% solution contains the equivalent of 130 pints of oxygen. A pint of 3% hydrogen peroxide found at the local
drugstore contains 10 pints of oxygen. And a pint of the 6% solution used to
bleach hair contains 20 pints of oxygen.) We also know that when FG-H2O2 is
taken into the body (orally or intravenously) the oxygen content of the blood
and body tissues increases dramatically. Early researchers felt these increases
were simply due to the extra oxygen molecule being released, this doesn't
however, appear to be the case.
Only very
diluted amounts of FG-H2O2 are ever introduced into the body. The small amount of oxygen present couldn't be
solely responsible for the dramatic changes that take place. Dr. Charles Farr,
a strong proponent of intravenous use, has discovered another possible answer.
Dr. Farr has shown that hydrogen peroxide stimulates enzyme systems throughout
the body. This triggers an
increase in the metabolic rate, causes small arteries to dilate and increase
blood flow, enhances the body's distribution and consumption of oxygen and
raises body temperature (Proceedings of
the International Conference on Bio-Oxidative Medicine 1989, 1990, 1991).
We are just beginning to
learn exactly how FG-H2O2 works. It was reported to work as far back as 1920.
The English medical journal, Lancet, then reported that intravenous infusion
was used successfully to treat pneumonia in the epidemic following World War I.
In the 1940's Father Richard Willhelm, the pioneer in promoting peroxide use,
reported on the compound being used extensively to treat everything from
bacterial-related mental illness to skin disease and polio.
Father Willhelm is the
founder of "Educational Concern for Hydrogen Peroxide" (ECHO, a
nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public on the safe use and
therapeutic benefits of hydrogen peroxide.) Much of the interest in hydrogen
peroxide waned in the 1940's when prescr*iption medications came on the scene.
Since that time there has been little economic interest in funding peroxide
research. After all, it is dirt cheap and non-patentable.
Even still, in the last 25
years, over 7,700 articles relating to hydrogen peroxide have been written in
the standard medical journals. Thousands more, involving its therapeutic use,
have appeared in alternative health publications. The number of conditions
helped by hydrogen peroxide is astounding. The reported dangers and side
effects are few and often conflicting.
Let's look at several
conditions that seem to respond especially well to FG-H2O2 therapy. First, keep
in mind that there are two
methods of administering the peroxide-orally and intravenously. While most conditions respond remarkably to oral
ingestion, emphysema is one condition in which intravenous infusion can be a
godsend.
Emphysema involves
destruction of the alveoli (the small air sacs in the lungs). Although chemical
fumes and other irritants can cause the destruction, it is most often the
result of smoking. As the disease progresses, the patient finds it more and
more difficult to breathe.
A wheel chair and
supplemental oxygen become necessary as the disease progresses. Lack of
adequate oxygen reaching the tissues forces the heart to pump more forcefully.
This leads to high blood pressure, enlargement of the heart itself and
eventually heart failure.
Conventional medicine offers
little help for emphysema. There is no cure. The best that can be hoped for is
symptomatic relief and the prevention of any serious complications that might
result in death. FG-H2O2 therapy can offer more.
Using 1 ounce
of 35% peroxide per 1 gallon of non-chlorinated water in a vaporizer improves
nighttime breathing tremendously.
But intravenous infusion holds the real key to relief. It has the ability to
cleanse the inner lining of the lungs and restore the ability to breathe.
We continue to hear the same
story from Dr. Farr and others who use intravenous infusion for emphysema and
congestive lung problems. Within minutes oxygen from hydrogen peroxide begins
to bubble up between the membrane lining the lungs sacs and the accumulated
mucus. (Dr. Farr refers to this as the "Alka-Seltzer effect.")
The patient begins to cough
and expel the material that has accumulated in the lungs. Simply turning the
FG-H2O2 on and off can regulate the amount of bubbling, coughing, and
cleansing. As the peroxide clears the lung surface and destroys the bacterial
infections, the patient regains the ability to breath more normally. We
continue to receive reports from patients for whom the technique has improved
breathing so much that a wheelchair and supplemental oxygen are no longer
needed.
If emphysema were the only
ailment successfully treated with FG-H2O2 therapy, it would still rank as one
of the top health discoveries of all time. Fortunately, FG-H2O2 works wonders
on a multitude of health problems. It does so by increasing tissue oxygen
levels. A closer look at how we have decreased the availability of external and
internal oxygen will show you just how important this can be.
You might remember from
elementary science courses that our atmosphere contains about 20% oxygen. That
is under ideal circumstances.
It has
recently been reported that in many of our more polluted cities, there levels
have dropped to around 10%! (I have already mentioned how less hydrogen
peroxide-containing rain is reaching the earth's surface.
With increased pollution it
is reacting with airborne toxins before it even reaches the ground.) And
everyone, by now, knows the oxygen-generating rain forests are being destroyed
worldwide, which further reduces available oxygen. Internal oxygen availability
is also under attack.
Chlorination
of drinking water removes oxygen. Cooking and over-processing of our foods
lowers their oxygen content. Unrestrained antibiotic use destroys beneficial
oxygen-creating bacteria in the intestinal tract.
Dr. Johanna Budwig of
Germany has shown that for proper cellular utilization of oxygen to take place,
our diets must contain adequate amounts of unsaturated fatty acids.
Unfortunately, the oils rich in these fatty acids have become less and less
popular with the food industry. Their very nature makes them more biologically
active, which requires more careful processing and gives them a shorter
shelf-life. Rather than deal with these challenges, the food industry has
turned to the use of synthetic fats and dangerous processes like hydrogenation.
It's obvious that our oxygen
needs are not being met. Several of the most common ailments now affecting our
population are directly related to oxygen starvation. Asthma, emphysema, and lung disease are on
the rise, especially in the polluted metropolitan areas.
Cases of constipation,
diarrhea, intestinal parasites and bowel cancer are all on the upswing.
Periodontal disease is endemic in the adult population of this country. Cancer of all forms continues to increase. Immune system disorders are sweeping the globe.
Chronic fatigue, "Yuppie Flu" and hundreds of other strange viral
diseases have begun to surface.
Ironically, many of the new
"miracle" drugs and nutritional supplements used to treat these
conditions work by increasing cellular oxygen (oftentimes through FG-H2O2
formation). For example, the miracle nutrient, Coenzyme Q10, helps regulate intercellular
oxidation.
Organic
germanium, which received considerable publicity not too long ago, also
increases oxygen levels at the cellular level. And even substances like niacin and vitamin E promote tissue oxidation
through their dilation of blood vessels.
Hydrogen peroxide is only
one of the many components that help regulate the amount of oxygen getting to
your cells. Its presence is vital for many other functions as well.
It is required for the
production of thyroid hormone and sexual hormones. It stimulates the production
of interferon (J Immunol 85;134(4):24492455). It dilates blood vessels in the
heart and brain (Am J Physiol 86;250 (5 pt 2): H815-821 and (2 pt 2):H157-162).
It improves glucose utilization in diabetics (Proceedings of the IBOM
Conference 1989, 1990, 1991).
Hydrogen peroxide is available in various
strengths and grades.
1. 3% Pharmaceutical Grade: This is the grade sold at
your local drugstore or supermarket. This product is not recommended for
internal use. It contains an assortment of stabilizers which shouldn't be
ingested. Various stabilizers include: acetanilide, phenol, sodium stanate and
tertrasodium phosphate.
2. 6% Beautician Grade: This is used in beauty shops to
color hair and is not recommended for internal use.
3. 30% Reagent Grade: This is used for various
scientific experimentation and also contains stabilizers. It is also not for
internal use.
4. 30% to 32% Electronic Grade: This is used to clean
electronic parts and not for internal use.
5. 35% Technical Grade: This is a more concentrated
product than the Reagent Grade and differs slightly in that phosphorus is added
to help neutralize any chlorine from the water used to dilute it.
6. 35% Food Grade: This is used in the production of foods like
cheese, eggs, and whey-containing products. It is also sprayed on the foil
lining of aseptic packages containing fruit juices and milk products. THIS IS
THE ONLY GRADE RECOMMENDED FOR INTERNAL USE...
7. 90%: This is used as an oxygen source for rocket
fuel.
Only 35% Food Grade hydrogen
peroxide is recommended for internal use. At this concentration, however,
hydrogen peroxide is a very strong oxidizer and if not diluted, it can be
extremely dangerous or even fatal. Any concentrations over 10% can cause
neurological reactions and damage to the upper gastrointestinal tract. There
have been two known fatalities in children who ingested 27% and 40%
concentrations of FG-H2O2.
35% Food Grade FG-H2O2 must be
1) Handled carefully (direct contact will burn the
skin--immediate flushing with water is recommended).
2) Diluted properly before use.
3) Stored safely and properly (after making a dilution
the remainder should be stored tightly sealed in the freezer).
One of the most convenient
methods of dispensing 35% FG-H2O2 is from a small glass eye dropper bottle. These can be purchased at your local drugstore.
Fill this with the 35% FG-H2O2 and store the larger container in the freezer
compartment of your refrigerator until more is needed. Store the eyedropper
bottle in the refrigerator.
The generally recommended dosage is outlined
in the chart below. The
drops are mixed with either 6 to 8 ounces of distilled water, juice, milk or
even Aloe Vera juice or gel. (Don't use chlorinated tap water to dilute
the peroxide!)
The program outlined is only a
suggestion, but it is based on years of experience, and reports from thousands
of users. Those who choose to go at
a slower pace can expect to progress more slowly, but that certainly is an
option. The program is not
carved in stone and keep in mind that it can be adapted to fit individual needs.
Individuals
who have had transplants should not undertake an FG-H2O2 program. FG-H2O2
stimulates the immune system and could possibly cause a rejection of the organ.

MAINTENANCE DOSAGE
In most situations after the above 21 day
program, the amount of FG-H2O2 can be tapered off gradually as follows: 25
drops once every other day for 1 week 25 drops once every third day for 2 weeks
25 drops once every fourth day for 3 weeks
This can then be reduced to between 5 and 15
drops per week based on how one feels.
Those with more serious problems will often
benefit from staying on 25 drops three times a day for one to three weeks, then
tapering down to 25 drops two times daily until the problem is resolved
(possibly as long as six months).
Those with chronic systemic Candidiasis may
need to start with 1 drop three times a day, then 2 drops three times a day
before starting the above schedule.
It is important that FG-H2O2
be taken on an empty stomach. This is best accomplished by taking it either
one-hour before meals or three hours after meals. If there is food in the
stomach, the reaction of FG-H2O2 on any bacteria present may cause excess
foaming, indigestion, and possibly even vomiting.
Chewing one of the sugar-free cinnamon gums
can lessen the bleach-like after-taste of FG-H2O2.
Some individuals taking
FG-H2O2 immediately before bedtime have a difficult time getting to sleep. This
is probably due to a sense of alertness triggered by an increase of oxygen at
the cellular level.
The oral dosage schedule is basically the
same for all conditions. There are several points to keep in mind, however.
1. Some individuals may experience upset stomach. If
this occurs it is recommended that one not stop the program, but rather remain
at the current dosage level or reduce it to the previous level until the
problem stops. (Some patients have been able to solve the nausea problem by
taking three or four lecithin capsules at the same time they take the FG-H2O2.)
2. During the program it's not uncommon to experience
what is known as a healing crisis. As dead bacteria and toxins are released
from your body it may temporarily exceed your capacity to eliminate them
quickly enough.
3. In some individuals this overload may cause fatigue,
diarrhea, headaches, skin eruptions, cold or flu-like symptoms, and/or nausea.
One should not discontinue using the peroxide to stop this cleansing. By
continuing the program, toxins will clear the body sooner and this healing
crisis will pass rather quickly.
Note: It is important to add essential nutrients to any
FG-H2O2 program to enhance healing and promote immune system function.
END OF TOPIC #12
The answer to
cancer has been known!
The FDA banned vitamin B-17
years ago
I’m talking about something
that was banned by the FDA years ago. Vitamin B-17, also know as laetrile and
amydalin that is found in most fruit seeds...Namely apricot seeds. The apricot
seed was claimed as the cure for all cancers over 30 years ago. It was even
more strongly claimed that when one eats about 3-7 apricot seeds per day they
can never develop cancer, just as one can never get scurvy if they have an
orange every day, or pellagra if they have some B vitamin food here and there.
Of course when a person's body is completely eaten up by cancer, the apricot
seed and it's extract (laetrile and vitamin b17) would only prolong their life
many times longer than chemotherapy and might not completely save them.
The pharmaceuticals pushed
the FDA into making it illegal to sell apricot seeds or vitamin B17. Even to
this day, you can't get "raw" apricot seeds in your health food
store, only the dried ones, which have all the important enzymes, killed off.
The information that you're about to read will guide you in how you can nearly
guarantee a cancer free life. Most of the people that already have cancer clusters in their body,
who eat the apricot seeds and/or take the vitamin b17 show near to complete
tumor regression, although cancer
patients that get rid of their cancer also have the problem of the organ damage
that the cancer has caused. This is another issue where other herbs and
remedies are necessary for proper organ regeneration. This info is not just for preventing
cancer, it is for those
that have cancer now and are on chemo at this moment, as well as for those that haven't
started any conventional methods and have cancer.
Vitamin B-17 is found in all fruit seeds. Its components make it vital for our
survival without cancer. Seeds are for everyone to eat. Don't wait and see if you develop cancer
to start eating the seeds.
Vitamin B17 was the subject
of great controversy 18 or so years ago when some of the world's top scientists
claimed that when consumed, the components of the seed make it 100% impossible to develop cancer
and will kill existing cancer in most cases. The pharmaceutical companies pounced on this claim immediately and
demanded that FDA studies be conducted.
Pharmaceutical
companies conduct studies on patented chemicals they invent so that at the end of their study, if
the drug gets approved, they have sole rights on its sale. (They make back tons
more than the mere 200 million that they invested) They never do studies on foods that can't
be patented and that can be sold by any supermarket. The book 'World Without Cancer' covers a lot of
information on studies that were covered up and great scientist who where
arrested when they began telling others about the truth of vitamin B17. Highly
annotated for the serious student who wants to research the information for
himself. Contains studies on Amygdalin (vitamin B17, laetrile) that were
conducted at the famous cancer institute, Sloan Kettering and covered up.
Vitamin B17 is found in all fruit seeds such as the apple, peach, cherry, orange, nectarine and
apricot. It is found in some beans
and many grasses such as wheat
grass. The hard wooden pit in the middle of the
apricot or peach for example, is not supposed to be thrown away. In fact, the wooden shell is actually a strong armor protecting one
of the most important foods known to man, the seed. It is
one of the main courses of food in cultures such as the Navajo Indians, the
Hunzakuts the Abkhazians and many more. Cultures such as these have never had a
reported case of cancer!
(TODAY there are doctors and scientists from the U.S. living within these tribes
studying these phenomena) We don't need to make the seed a main course in our
diets, but we do need the equivalent of about seven apricots seeds per day.
This will nearly guarantee a cancer free life.
Other foods that contain
vitamin B-17 are: bitter almonds, millet, lima beans and more. (The bitter almond tree has been banned from the
U.S. years ago.) Apricot
seeds have the highest content of B-17 on earth.
They are chewable and bitter and a necessity in our diet. Although apricot
seeds are bitter, they must be integrated into our diets. They may be added to
food or chopped up and swallowed with a teaspoon of honey. As a preventative,
Dr. Krebs asserts that 7 to 10 apricot seeds per day will make
it impossible to develop cancer in one's lifetime. One
or two of the B-17 tablets (100 mg) is an acceptable supplemental dosage per
day.
Stores do not sell apricot seeds because of the raids the FDA made on those
stores with vitamin B17 and the apricot seeds years ago. If you have cancer, you must eat the apricot
seeds along with some type of digestive/pancreatic enzyme.
Even if you are taking the injectable form, you must eat some seeds every day,
as little as it may be. If
you are taking chemotherapy, it is all the more imperative that you take the
B17/enzymes/agents alongside. In nearly all cases the tumors shrink.
Now one is faced with the confusion of staying on the chemotherapy or stopping
the chemo, due to the unclearness of what shrunk the cancer. Those that
continue on with the chemotherapy have a relatively poor outcome. I understand that once an individual is
caught in the vacuum cycle of chemotherapy, radiation and operations, it is
very difficult to pull away from this higher authority (principalities,
prestigious doctors and hospitals) and say "NO" to more chemotherapy.
Hundreds of people make the wrong decisions because they were expecting their
tumor to disappear. (This
is one of the things you have to know.)
When it shrinks down that's it, start rejoicing and continue on your natural
regimen. Do not stop eating the seeds. The tumor doesn't disappear. Most
doctors will still see a tumor and continue to give a person chemotherapy
(until they're dead) in attempts to make it disappear.
Malignant (cancerous)
tumors are only a small percent cancer and when the cancer part starts dying
off, the tumor only shrinks down the percent
that the tumor was cancerous.
In other words, if a
kidney tumor is 10 percent cancerous the tumor will shrink down only 10
percent.
On CAT scans, which one should never get (with
6 CAT scans there is over 60% more of a chance of one developing Leukemia; MRI's are much safer as they use magnetic imaging and not radiation) 10 percent shrinkage can be concluded as "NO CHANGE".
#############################################################################
Certain doctors
and scientists are 100% sure that cancer is a
direct result of a
deficiency in B-17
#############################################################################
Remember how scurvy, rickets, pellagra and Beri
Beri were results of deficiencies in vitamins B & C. It took decades and
killed millions before the kings and medical industry of the time accepted the
simple vitamin solutions. Today, we are in a nearly identical situation
concerning cancer. I strongly suggest that you start prevention now and do not
wait for cancer to develop before you take action.
One last thing I would like to add is that there are many things you can do to
help the vitamin B-17 to do its work. You must
1. Get off all the sugar and caffeine.
i.
Sugar feeds cancer.
ii.
Caffeine is very bad
for your liver and kidneys.
2.
Stay away from the
enriched flower and
3.
Drink a lot of purified
or distilled water.
Keep this
one important fact in mind: The FDA will not allow vitamin B-17 and
information about vitamin B-17 to be sold together.
Are raw apricot seeds, Laetrile, or B17 illegal to
buy in the USA?
No. How could they ever be? There is one
apricot seed in each apricot fruit, and you can buy fresh apricots in almost
any supermarket in any neighborhood in the world. If the apricot seed were
illegal, the fresh fruit would be taken off the market completely (Update: I cannot remember the last time I saw
apricots in the store. When was the last time you saw one?)
What it means
is: If any hospital uses laetrile, the law says that they jeopardize any grants
from the government as well as any money from Medicaid and other hospital
insurance originating from the government. Since nearly all of hospital
revenues come from patient insurance, not one hospital in the U.S. will take
the chance and use any banned substance including, Amygdalin (also called
vitamin B17, Laetrile, or apricot seeds.)
Any
Doctor that wants to use the substance from apricot seeds must have his/her
patient fill out a form and then the doctor must submit the form to the FDA.
Again, doctors don't want to get involved in this and would rather keep their
names off of the FDA watch lists. Additionally, the doctor's malpractice
insurance will not be valid if they prescribe laetrile (B17, amygdalin, or
apricot seeds) to a patient. The American Medical Association (AMA) treats any
doctor that prescribes laetrile as a renegade (traitorous) and as though he has
violated the AMA's membership policies and will be subject to membership
termination. Therefore any doctor that prescribes laetrile may destroy his
career as a doctor. They're NOT going to do that for ANY patient EVER!
Any
individual that sells laetrile must not claim that it does anything in his
place of business. Many health food stores in the past were raided and had to
give up their supplies of B17 because the B17 was near books that claimed that
the B17 was the answer to cancer. In other words, the books were near the B17
in the stores and were therefore considered "labeling" which is a
term used by the FDA. Labeling, according to the FDA, is against the law and
you can be prosecuted for it. However on the Internet, it is different.
Internet
law is tricky and not the same as U.S. commercial law. In one case, Ken Kholas
took the FDA to court and won his B17 back. That court case proved it wasn't
wrong for him to have or to sell it. Bottom line TO YOU is that you can
purchase, use, and have B17 or Apricot Seeds.
MAKE SURE TO
INCLUDE THE APRICOT SEED OR
VITIAMIN B17 IN YOUR DAILY
DIET FOR ADDED PROTECTION AGAINST CANCER
END OF TOPIC #13
This diet is
vegetarian and is saving many people's lives. It consists of zero animal
protein, some amount (about 35%) of cooked foods (mostly vegetable protein),
and the rest uncooked, with a huge percentage being fresh juice from raw
vegetables, and some from raw fruit. If you have read about the physiology of
cancer cells above, then you know the reasons why this vegetarian diet works.
The Vegetarian Healing Diet
This diet will
show how American's are eating an inverted diet of 80% acidic foods and 20%
alkaline foods. This heavy acid diet is not only destroying the minerals
of the body, it is also altering our bodies at a cellular level.
Too much acid in our cells can cause them to mutate along with altering
our DNA. Some of these mutations are malignant; another word for these
malignant mutations is Cancer. When we reverse our poor diets to an 80%
alkaline and 20% acid diet we can change our entire state of health. A properly
alkalized body at a cellular level can turn the body into its own doctor and
its own hospital.
Six weeks of a rigid diet showed dramatic cell changes in blood samples.
There is so much guessing out there, but for the first time there is a diet
that has been showed to work under the
microscope.
This diet in the beginning may not be enough to get people quickly on the right
track. Some people might need to detox due to heavy animal protein
consumption over time. They also might have to detox from sugar and heavy
antibiotic use over time. I would suggest that some people investigate
natural approaches to cleanse their liver, kidneys and colon along with the use
of this diet. I would also suggest that you do not put any pill in your
body unless it is muscle tested against your body by an advanced
kinesiologist.
Anyway, good luck
and here is the diet. Please get approval from your doctor before going on
any diet program.
"Our body
cells cannot adequately function if the pH range (which measures acidity and
alkalinity) is not in a narrow range. Studies of pH balance have shown that
when pH is more acidic we are more susceptible to diseases. Allergists find
that most people with severe allergies have acidic systems. Most processed
foods are acidic, and when we consume too many of them the acid/alkaline
balance is upset. To obtain a balanced pH would require a diet of
70-80 percent raw fruits and vegetables." From Barley Green Research
Dietary changes
have shown to be helpful for the following problems and diseases: Cancer, Heart
Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, Hypertension, Anemia, PMS, Chronic Fatigue,
Digestive Disorders and Aids.
The Rules of the Diet
Drink eight
glasses of pure spring water out of a clear plastic or glass container
only. Mountain Valley or Fountainhead water have been tested with having
good mineral content. Most spring waters are filtered tap water.
Drink at least half your body weight in ounces each day or you will form what
is called a toxic pool in your body.
Do
not interrupt your digestion process by drinking water with your meals.
1.
Take 2 tablespoons of flax seed oil each day.
2.
Take 2 tablespoons of Braggs amino acids each day.
3.
Consult your doctor before you start any diet.
4.
Be careful about eating too much raw vegetables to avoid upper GI
problems.
5.
Lightly steam vegetables; too much heat depletes minerals.
6.
You might be allergic to some vegetables or items above. A good
kinesiologist can muscle test these items against your body and tell you if
they make you strong or weak. You should have all supplements and
medicines that you take tested as well. If you are toxic then it is a given
that you will have food allergies to even simple vegetables like celery.
7.
Make sure that you replace the amino acids, etc. that you lose if you
avoid animal protein. Items 2 and 3 above are good along with eating
beans and almonds, etc.
8.
Try to mix your foods and avoid eating the same food for three days. Be
careful of taking the same anything for extended periods of time.
9.
If you are susceptible to kidney stones, then note that foods high in
oxalic acid are said to be the major components of kidney stones. Be
careful of eating too much Spinach, beets, cucumbers, green peppers, etc.
10.
If you bloat up or feel joint pain 10 to 20 minutes after eating a
certain food then eliminate it (especially for arthritic people).
11.
If your body is not used to eating raw vegetables, then gradually go
from steamed to raw vegetables.
12.
Warning, be careful about eating enough protein. Also, vegetarians
are notorious for lacking B-12. Vegetarian diets can be dangerous if you
do not watch these two things!
High
alkaline foods (should be 80% of your diet)
The following is a
list of foods you can eat freely up to 80%. (60% should be
raw, 20% should be lightly steamed) Do not use a microwave oven for cooking.
·
Asparagus
·
Beets
·
Broccoli
·
Sprouts (high in parasites) (should be soaked over night)
·
Cabbage
·
Carrots
·
Cauliflower
·
Celery
·
Cucumbers
·
Green & yellow squash
·
Eggplant (rumored to be a carcinogen?)
·

·
Kale
·
Lettuce (avoid iceberg which is high in parasites)
·
Okra
·
Onions
·
Garlic
·
Parsley
·
Radishes
·
Turnips
* Be careful of certain vegetables if you are having thyroid
problems. Broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and cabbage might depress the
thyroid. Your thyroid will tell you of sensitivities by cold hands and
feet or a sore throat and anxiousness.
** Too much raw vegetable can cause upper GI or colon
problems. Lightly steam vegetables for best results. Be
careful of raw celery and carrots if you have bowel movement
problems.
Fruits including:
*Avoid
fruits that yield sugar, which are fuel for yeast.
The following is a
list of foods you can eat freely up to 20%.
· Soybeans (tofu)
· Millet
· Buckwheat (and all sprouted
grains or beans)
· Eat lots of garlic and
onions
· Seeds (sesame, sunflower,
pumpkin, flax)
·
Nuts (almonds & hazel nuts, must be soaked for 12 hours or sprouted.
This will allow them to be digested without using additional digestive
enzymes).
Fatty acids are also very
important to include in the diet such as cold pressed borage, sunflower, hemp
and flaxseed oil. You can also use amino acids or celtic sea salt and
herbs for seasoning.
·
50% flax or hemp oil (spray oil on salads)
·
50% Braggs amino acids
*(Try to eat two tablespoons per day of oil & amino acids)
·
Liquid lecithin to emulsify (optional)
·
Parsley flakes for seasoning
·
Sesame & seaweed seasoning
Other daily suggestions
Drink 16 ounces of a green drink each day to alkalize the body. Green drinks
make a great breakfast. Please note that barley allergies are
common. If your green drink includes barley then discontinue it if you
have problems.
Great tasting green drink: cucumbers, celery, parsley and spinach.
Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of pure water each day. A more
accurate suggestion is to drink .6 ounces of water for every pound of
weight. The best water is distilled water that has been charged.
You can buy drops at your local health food store, which will negatively charge
the water. Distilled water is the closest to what is already in your body
and it will act like a magnet to toxins.
My favorite water
is Mountain Valley Spring water out of Hot Springs Arkansas. The water
tested 180.00 parts/Million mg/liter in alkalinity (CaCO3) this water has
a wonderful sweet taste. Please note that most spring waters are simply
filtered tap water. Mountain Valley has been around since 1871.
I use the
following waters to maintain my pH levels. These can usually be found in most
health marketplaces such as Henrys and Trader Joe’s. They are:
1.
ESSENTIA - can increase pH level to 9.5. I use this when my pH has
dropped dramatically and I need to boost it up quickly. Once I’ve
re-established my pH level above 7.5 then I use one of the following two waters
to maintain it
2.
ICELANDIC GLACIAL - maintains a 7.75 pH
3.
FIJI - maintains a 7.5 pH
Note: If you pick up a bottle of water in the store and the
pH level is not stated on the label DO NOT buy or use it (ex: a new water came
out recently called SmartWater The water tested at a pH level of 6.0. This is
every acidic and extremely harmful to the body. It seems as if more
effort was put into the product name than in the water.)
I have a strong
emphasis on water because our bodies are approximately 75% water. Without
the correct water intake we can form what is called a toxic pool in the body.
*Avoid all carbonated drinks from your diet. These are known to cause a
B-vitamin deficiency, which will yield fibromyalgia type symptoms. Avoid
all phosphate preservatives and nitrates.

FOODS YOU SHOULD NEVER EAT
Most of us know that food itself cannot be considered poisonous. Very few
of us know that pleomorphic bacteria, yeast, and fungus and their toxins, which
are characteristically present in stored and fermented food, are using our food
chain as a Trojan Horse.
The following list
of foods are high in pleomorphic bacteria, yeast, fungus and mold and produce
mycotoxins that have been documented to cause specific diseases and very
specifica organ lesions in both animals and in humans and should never be
ingested.
1.
Pig meat including
sausage, bacon, salami, and ham are fully fungal colonized and contain the
fungi Aspergillus ochraceus which produces the mycotoxin Ochratoxin A,
associated with many different documented cancers.
2. Tobacco contains yeasts aand sugars which ferment the
tobacco into the form which reaches the human blood and tissues causing
disbiosis of the blood and tissues leading to every degenerative disease known
including cancer, diabetes, arthritis, etc.
3.
Mushrooms are not a
vegetable but rather the fruiting body of a fungus whose major form of
existence, the root-like mycelium, is hidden in the soil. This fruiting body is
but the means to disperse the seed-like spores of the fungus throughout the
blood and tissues. For example edible mushrooms induce bladder cancer. However,
some mushrooms contain a large amount of beta glucan, a polysaccharide
carbohydrate that builds the ability of macrophages in the blood to destroy
cancer cells. Examples are Agaricus blazei murril, maitake, shitake, and
reishi. These are powerful anti-tumor mushrooms.
4. Corn and all associated products over 25 different
strains of fungus...all disease causing several cancer causing.
5.
Peanuts & Cashews
contain over 27 different strains of fungus...(high levels of cancer causing
fungus) Note Jimmy Carter family with high incidence of cancer.
6. Barley contains the fungi Aspergillus ochraceus which
produces the mycotoxin Ochratoxin A associated with many different documented
cancers.
7.
Animal meat and poultry
including beef, lamb, chicken, and turkey contain the fungi Aspergillus
ochraceus which produces the mycotoxin Ochratoxin A associated with many
different documented cancers.
8. Alcohol including wine and especially beer contain
the fungus Aspergillus ochraceus which produces the mycotoxin Ochratoxin A.
9.
Dairy products
including milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, ice-cream, butter, etc. are
fully colonized with fungi and contain the fungus Aspergillus ochraceus which
produces the mycotoxin Ochratoxin A. These foods are also high in sugar which
promotes the production of pleomorphic bacteria, yeast, and fungus.
10. Eggs are fully colonized with fungus and contaminated
with mycotoxins.
11. STORED GRAINS AND CEREALS ARE FULLY COLONIZED WITH
FUNGUS AND CONTAMINATED WITH MYCOTOXINS.
12. Stored potatoes are fully colonized with fungus and
contaiminated with mycotoxins.
13. Sugar including honey maple syrup, corn syrup,
sucrose, rice syrup, barley malt etc. promote the growth of pleomorphic bacteris,
yeast, fungus, and mold and suppress the immune system response up to five
hours
14. Vinegar or apple cider vinegar acidifies the blood
and tissues, which promotes the production of bacteria, yeast, fungus, and
mold.
15. Yeast in any form including Brewers Yeast.
16. Caffeine in any form acidifies the blood and tissues
which promotes the production of pleomorphic baceast, fungus and mold
17. High fructose fruits acidify the blood and tissues
and feed the production of pleomorphic bacteria, yeast, fungus, and mold. For
example, APPLE JUICE IS CONTAMINATE WITH THE CARCINOGENIC MYCOTOXIN PATULIN
WHICH IS DERIVED FROM THE FUNGUS AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH STOMACH CANCER.
18. Dried fish contains the Aspergillus fungus and the
extracts from the dried fish contains large amounts of aflatoxin.
19. Devitalized salt changes the negative charge on the
blood cells causing them to stack or combine into symplasts which can lead to
oxygen deprivation, congestion, poor circulation, stroke, and/or heart attack.
20. Hydrogenated or partially
hydrogenated oils like margarine, shortenings and vegetable oils are altered
fat substances which are known to be detrimental to health because they
interfere with normal biochemical processes. These oils have been shown to
increase cholesterol, decrease beneficial high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
interfere with our liver's detoxification system, and interfere with essential
fatty acid function.

Dr. Binzel was an
early small-town doctor who treated hundreds of patients who had cancer. He maintained
that you seldom really get rid of cancer, but you can still live a long and
relatively healthy life after you get it if you treat it properly. His focus was nutrition
and laetrile. Here is a summary of his vitamin/enzyme, nitriloside, diet
plan (consult a doctor before starting on this or any other program - your
needs may be extraordinary):
1.
Vitamins and Enzymes - taken with or just after meals, not on an empty stomach
·
Multiple vitamins - 1
twice a day
·
Vitamin C - 1 Gram
twice a day
·
Vitamin E - 400 units
twice a day
·
Megazyme Forte
(trypsin, Chymotrypsin, bromalin, zinc) - 2 three times a day
·
Pangamic acid (vitamin
B15)- 1 three times a day
·
Pro-A-Mulsion (25,000
I.U. Vitamin A per drop) - 5 drops a day
2.
Nitrilosides - Amygdalin (Laetrile, or Vitamin B17)
Start
this part of the program only after being on the vitamins and enzymes for ten
days to two weeks. If you start too soon, the laetrile will not do any good because the
body needs plenty of vitamin C to heal and Zinc to carry the laetrile to the
cells.
·
Increase the dosage of
C - start taking more C by adding 1 gram a day till you are taking 6 grams a
day. Start doing this at the same time you start taking the laetrile.
·
Tablets - Take two 500-mg
tablets orally on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday (on the days when you
are not taking the vials intravenously). Take the tablets at bedtime with
plenty of water but no juices on an empty stomach. Juices and food contain
enzymes that weaken the effects of the laetrile, but this does not happen on an
empty stomach.
·
Take 3-gram vials
intravenously using a 2-minute IV push per vial every other day (Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday), three days a week for three weeks. Do NOT take the
vitamin A on these days. It may interfere with your body's ability to
metabolize the laetrile. Do not take laetrile tablets on the days you are
taking the intravenous laetrile. It is a waste of tablets to do this.
Here are the
intravenous doses:
·
First dose - 1 vial
(10cc, or 3 grams)
·
Second dose - 2 vials
·
Third dose - 2 vials
·
Fourth through ninth
doses - 3 vials
·
After the first three
weeks, take one vial a week for 3 months. If after reducing to once a week the
patient feels a big difference, go back to one vial two or three times a week
for three weeks, and then reduce the rate to one vial a week.
Get your doctor to
monitor the level of thiocynate so that your laetrile tablets regulate it to between
1.2 and 2.5 mg/DL. Increase or decrease the number of tablets you take so as to
maintain this level. Remember that there are over a thousand sources of
nitrilosides, including the kernels or seeds of apricots, peaches, cherries,
grapes, apples, macadamia nuts, and also bean and broccoli sprouts, berries
(blue, straw, black), lima beans, and so on. Laetrile as described above is
much more effective.
3. Diet - if it moves, don't eat it - NO animal
sources of food
The first point to
note is that animal protein depletes the body of trypsin and chymotrypsin
enzymes which are needed to strip the protein liner from cancer
cells so white blood cells can kill them. In other words, animal protein can
cause cancer, so stop eating it. The supplements you are taking in step one above replace
some of the most important enzymes for killing cancer cells, and you undo their
benefits to the extent you consume animal products. Furthermore, cooked food
contains no enzymes, but raw uncooked food contains enzymes and these are
needed for your body to become healthy. Also, processed food or spoiled food is
forbidden because they contain actual chemical preservatives, metals, funguses,
parasites, and poisons that can make you sick. So,
·
Remove all meat,
poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, and milk from your diet.
·
Remove all refined
sugar, white flour, sacchyrides, and artificial sweetners from your diet. If
you want sweetners, use raw uncooked honey or molasses, or even fruit. Stay
strictly away from foods with preservatives.
·
Do not cook your food
or elevate it to a temperature above 130 degrees unless it is used as a source
of protein.
·
Do not eat frozen,
pasteurized, blanched, boiled, microwaved, baked, braized, broiled or processed
foods that have enzymes destroyed. Frozen is okay if you do not blanch or cook
them first.
·
Eat lots of fresh
foods, including fruits, vegetables, nuts (not peanuts), berries, whole grains other than wheat, whole uncooked seeds, flax seeds and fresh flax oil,
leaf vegetables like spinach and collards. If at all possible, JUICE them and drink them. Try to eat all the fresh foods
available in a season within a two-week period. This gives you variety and the
full nutritional advantage possible. Do not avoid broccoli, spinach, turnips,
potatoes, greenbeans, beets, garlic, horseradish, ginger, cayenne peppers,
onions, cauliflower, cabbage, and corn.
·
Eat lots of salads. If you make salad dressing, use pure vegetable oil
like virgin olive oil (uncooked) and sea salt, no eggs, and no refined sugar,
and a variety of herbs and spices. Get as much variety as you can in the salads
to keep them interesting.
·
It is okay to eat salt,
but make it sea salt to get the
mineral value.
·
Vegetable protein is very important, and it does not require trypsin or chymotrypsin for
digestion. Do NOT eat animal protein. Foods taken for protein may be cooked
because cooking does not harm them, and an egg or a little milk used in baking
is okay, too, as is a little skim milk for cereal. However, it is better to eat
them raw or juiced. Good sources are whole grains (like millet, brown rice,
buckwheat, oats, barley, wild rice), seeds (flax, sunflower, pumpkin, grape,
apple, etc), corn (for mush, grits, cornbread, boiled corn), a small amount of
butter (but NEVER margarine or hardened vegetable oil), nuts (but never roasted
peanuts which produce a detrimental acid), dried fruits (like dates, raisins,
figs), and beans of all kinds (lentils, split-pea, kidney, navy, black, etc).
·
You do not have to cook
dried foods to soften them. You can soften seeds, beans, grains, and other
dried foods by allowing them to soak in cool water without cooking them for up
to 36 hours, but you should be careful not to let them spoil. Also, you can
process seeds by grinding them in a seed or coffee mill, but be careful NOT to
allow them to overheat (above 130 degrees F). If you grind them, you can use
them as cereal or spoon them into a blender with juice to make a thick, hearty,
high-protein drink.
·
Beverages -
no milk other than for cereal or cooking, no caffeine-based drinks like coffee,
cola, or over-steeped tea. Herb teas are okay. Drink at least 2 quarts of pure
water every day (ideally from a purifier like a reverse-osmosis filter). Fruit
and vegetable juices are very important, but only fresh that you make yourself with a
juicer, and not store-bought. Remember that water keeps you from getting
dehydrated, and it helps to flush the bowels, kidneys, lungs, and skin.
·
Percentages - Eat a variety of fruits, but restrict citrus to
less than 10%
of the diet (oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes). Strive for a dietary mix of 60%
vegetables and 40% fruit. Do not allow the combination of animal meat, dairy, and
cooked food to exceed 10% of your diet over any two-week period of time.

Glyoxal
& Methylglyoxal
Putting the brakes on cancer cell reproduction
Here is the “GOLDEN KEY” that unlocks the mystery to
defeating cancer. Can we agree that if cancer cell reproduction can be slowed to
a point where dieing cancer cells becomes greater than new cancer cells that
cancer can be defeated.
Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi was the Nobel Laureate in Medicine in 1937 for the isolation and discovery of Vitamin C. Known as the "Father of Nutritional Science", he also discovered iso-flavones and vitamin P. In his last 40 years, he researched the regulatory processes of cell growth, and thereby the regulation of cancer itself.
He made a rather amazing breakthrough about cancer. In 1963
the prestigious magazine "Science" published a remarkable article
about his research. In it Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi identified two substances, one
called Retine, which
inhibited cancer growth, and
the other called Promine, which promoted cell growth and made cancerous cells grow faster.
He explained that these were very small molecules that were highly potent in controlling cell division. Other researchers obtained similar results.
There were no harmful or toxic side effects.
In another "Science" article in 1967 he announced that his laboratory had isolated and manufactured Retine, which retards cell growth, in the form of a Carbonyl compound called Methylglyoxal.
In an interview in Prevention magazine in 1972 conducted by Jane Kinderlehrer, he explained that he and "Dr. Egyud have found that retine (methylglyoxal) stops the growth of cancer cells without poisoning other cells. When retine is present in sufficient concentration, no cell division can occur while vital cellular processes go on unhindered."
The article goes on, "And what is a good bit of luck, and
not my cleverness, the white-haired scientist pointed out, "is that if a
cancer cell cannot grow, it dies by itself.' According to the researchers, retine is normally produced by the body and, when it is,
it prevents the growth of existing cancer cells. But the body can lose its
ability to produce this substance...
"Putting the retine back in
the body, just as we put insulin back into a diabetic's body, can stop the
growth of cancer... The scientists at Woods Hole found that cancer cells are much more sensitive to retine than normal
ones, and so cancer cells may be inhibited specifically."
To sum it up, the Carbonyl group - Glyoxal & Methylglyoxal, are retine. They arrest cell division and make cells return to a resting state. If Carbonyl is missing, uncontrolled proliferation goes on, and cells grow wildly and uncontrollably which leads to cancer. Glyoxal & Methylglyoxal are a non-toxic substance that is supposed to be in your cells. Putting them back in your cells has significant anti-cancer activity.
Another well-known Nobel Prize winner of that period, Dr. William Koch, worked on this same issue with a different approach. Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi acknowledged his work saying, "A decade ago, a very intuitive researcher, Dr. William F. Koch, came to the same conclusion about the possible importance of Carbonyls in regulation of cell division and carcinostasis."
Developed by Dr. William F. Koch, the TMT
homeopathic remedies have for over 60 years been used time and again to conquer
cancer and other major illnesses. Composed of homeopathic sized methylglyoxal
quinone molecules, one of their main functions is their ability to repair
damaged respiratory enzymes in cells. This is fundamental to the development of
cancer.
As you will read more about later on,
another main cancer fighting function they perform is to get methylglyoxal back
into cells, thus helping to turn off the uncontrolled replication that
characterizes cancer cells. They also work to effectively neutralize free
radicals in a different way than typical antioxidant supplements do.
It was Dr. Koch's opinion that his
homeopathic quinone based remedy tapped into healing at the level of DNA in all
the cells of the body. Primarily by triggering a cell's oxidative mechanisms to
regenerate the impaired aerobic oxygen respiration that causes the cell to go
cancerous. Restoring a cell's ability to use oxygen to produce energy is
fundamental to Otto Warburg's theory on how to stop cancer. And it works...
Koch's book, The Survival Factor,
has a series of photos of an infant with inoperable liver cancer who had a
protrusion of the abdomen which got less and less until she is shown as a
healthy young girl. And many other users have experienced similar results.
They formulations trigger a chain reaction
in every cell on a molecular level, and tap into the body's infinite capacity
to reverse any disease. Dr. Koch called his primary remedy the Synthetic
Survival Reagent. And used it successfully for treating cancers, allergies,
polio and infectious diseases. He postulated that it worked against pathogens
because the increased oxidation initiated by it would kill the disease causing
pathogens in the cells.
They also help to deal with the damaging
effects of free radicals throughout the body. In a sense, causing a chain
reaction at the DNA level among all existing free radicals to nullify them so
that they cannot cause disease. When you take them along with other free
radical scavengers, the damaging effects from the vast amounts of free radicals
we are exposed to in this polluted world can be greatly negated. It can bring
about dramatic changes in the cells because it normalizes DNA function with the
removal of free radicals, and subsequently effects how cells replicate.
In addition, it is theorized to be able to
interfere with the DNA of pathogenic microorganisms and cancer cells to shut
down their replication and thus cause them to die. An MD who worked with Koch's
formulations said that he found it to be about 80% effective against cancer.
As a historical note, in Germany they have
been used to treat many different diseases. German authorities on these
remedies say that they treat: Cancer, HIV, chronic infectious diseases,
autoimmune diseases, can be a replacement for vaccinations of diseases such as
chicken pox and measles, and basically treat any and all disease. (Heart
disease is intimately connected to free radical damage and bacterial
infections.) Because the TMT molecules are extremely small, it has no problem
working on diseases of the brain.
Methylglyoxal, if you remember, literally
tells cancer cells to stop their abnormally high replication rate. Cancer cells
are revved up way past the red line, so to speak, when it comes to cell
replication, and replicate many times faster than normal cells.
Methylglyoxal is missing from those cells.
TMT uses a very slight amount of methylglyoxal that starts a self-replicating
process causing the cell to repair itself as Methylglyoxal is introduced to the
cell, and passes on to restore the Methylglyoxal in another cell. Causing a
cascade of cellular repair and a stopping of uncontrolled replication. As Dr.
Szent-Gyorgyi discovered, when cancer cells can't replicate in an uncontrolled
fashion, they die. And of course, at the same time as these remedies turn off
the replication of cancer cells, they initiate the repair of respiratory
enzymes from cell to cell.
TMT is Dr. Koch's full range of five
different homeopathic formulations of glyoxal and methylglyoxal that work
together to stimulate your body to create more methylglyoxal in the cells. They
have been used for 50 years in Germany and have proven again and again to be
quite powerful in their cancer fighting effects.
It is suggested that you go on a vegan - no
animal products diet (for at least a week) when using TMT.
Looking at Koch's remedy from Dr.
Szent-Gyorgyi's understanding of the role of Methylglyoxal in stopping cancer,
it seems most likely that SSR Super Quinone or the Koch TMT is stimulating the
body's ability to produce Methylglyoxal in cells. Thus stopping cells from
turning cancerous, and stopping the replication of cancerous cells so that they
die.
Methylglyoxal is missing in cancer cells.
TMT use a homeopathic amount of methylglyoxal to start a self-replicating
process causing cells to produce Methylglyoxal.
The more potent methylglyoxal product, and
actually one of the top cancer fighting products is MG Concentrate. It has been
stabilized and vitamin C has been added to it. It was originally conceived and
developed by the Nobel Prize winning Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi back in the Sixties.
Dr. Koch and Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi took
different approaches to supplying methylglyoxal to the body. Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi
developed a way to take quantities of methylglyoxal just like you would take a
vitamin. It worked. It was observed to inhibit mitochondrial respiration and
energy production of malignant tissues and cells, but had no effect on normal,
nonmalignant tissues and cells.
These studies proved it is a potent anticancer
agent that acts against cancerous cells, but not normal cells. And that it
works best when augmented with vitamin C. In the late 90s, a group of doctors
at the University College of Science in India tested a less potent version on a
group of mostly stage 4 very advanced cancer patients. Of the 19 patients who
completed the 25 week study, (5 patients moved away), 11 were in excellent
health, 5 were stable and continuing with the Methylglyoxal, and only 3 had
died.
Remarkable results when dealing with
advanced cancers. In fact, in the abstract of this study, the doctors state:
"The results strongly suggest that this formulation is by far more
superior than other present forms of treatment against cancer." The study
has continued on throughout the years with equally successful results.
This new and improved, stabilized MG
Concentrate may be over twice as potent as the methylglyoxal formulation used
in this study. It is so powerful it has become on of the top 5 recommended
products for fighting cancer.
Use 4 servings a day of 7.5 ml or
one and a half teaspoons of methylglyoxal diluted in water followed each time
by a mixture of B vitamins.
This is one product
virtually everyone fighting cancer should be using. It is relatively unknown,
but is one of the few natural supplements that has extensive use in clinical
research proving that it works exceedingly well.
UPDATE: THERE IS A SPECIAL HONEY THAT COMES FROM NEW
ZEALAND THAT CONTAINS Methylglyoxal IT’S CALLED Manuka Honey
Dr. Peter Molan of The University of Waikato
discovered the reliable anti-bacterial properties found in Manuka
Honey. This honey is produced from the Manuka tree which is only found in very
few places, but is indigenous to New Zealand and is well-known for its
medicinal properties. Active Manuka Honey is guaranteed to have
special anti-bacterial qualities and has been certified as such by independent
laboratories.
What makes Manuka Honey different
than other types of honey?
While honey, in general, contains hydrogen peroxide which is known to have
anti-septic and anti-bacterial properties, certain types of honey can not reliably
be used for health purposes because the anti-septic and anti-bacterial
properties can be and are often destroyed by light and heat.
Manuka
Honey
growing in pristine remote areas of New Zealand produces a strongly flavoured
honey, rich in texture and very palatable.
Methylglyoxal is responsible for manuka
honey’s unique health-giving properties.
Methylglyoxal is a very special
antibacterial property produced naturally by the nectar of some Manuka fkowers.
All Manuka Honey has been tested and certified by independent laboratories.
Methylglyoxal
levels range from 100 to 700 mg/kg. For example, honey labelled 100
contains at least 100 mg/kg of dietary Methylglyoxal.
The Manuka bush is covered in white flowers
for four weeks of every year. During mid-summer, the slopes of mountains and
valleys covered in Manuka bush look like it is a snowfield. During these four
weeks bees are extremely busy gathering the honey from the Manuka flower.
Manuka honey ranges from 100 to over
800mg/kg. Manuka Honey over 400mg/kg has the strength to reliably kill a very
large number of harmful bacteria.
Indian cancer researchers
have found methylglyoxal in large doses has the potential to act specifically against malignant cells in
the body and has a significant curative effect on a wide range of cancers.
THIS DISCOVERY SHOWS MANUKA HONEY IS A
SUPERIOR FOOD AND ELEVATES IT INTO THE CATEGORY OF MEDICAL FOODS
END OF TOPIC #15
Cancer
rates in the U.S. are officially “off the charts.” A century ago the disease
occurred in 1-in-100 people. Today, half of all adults will get some form of
cancer in their lifetime.
Why the alarming increase? It’s being caused of a steady and widespread
breakdown of the immune system among our population. Cancer cells, you see, are
naturally present in everyone’s bloodstream, but are kept in check by a special
immune cell called NK (short for “natural killer”). When NK activity
weakens—either from old age, poor nutrition, or stress—cancer cells are free to
multiply and become tumors. That’s what’s happening throughout our country
today.
Once a person is diagnosed with cancer, the only treatments permitted in this
country are chemotherapy and radiation. Both have horrendous side effects, such
as hair loss and vomiting. Both poison the immune system and destroy NK cells,
thus increasing the chances of relapse. And both have poor long-term survival
rates.
Natural cancer treatment involves stimulating the immune system so tumors are
gobbled up by a feeding frenzy of NK cells.
Other countries are doing a better job in the battle against cancer; it will
take many years, if not decades, for the U.S. to accept the idea that the
immune system is the key to beating cancer and other diseases. Sadly, that will
be too late for most of us who are now over 50—or younger people with a family
history of diseases.
Stimulating
NK cell activity quickly, literally causing them to destroy cancer cells in
hours
The
parents of our immune system are referred to as stem cells. These are the cells
upon which the immune system depends to both reproduce itself and give rise to
the many specialized lineage's that spring from it; the B cells. Macrophages,
natural killer (NK) cells, helper T cells. Etc.
The cells of the immune system are not isolated in a single body space or arranged in the form of a single organ. Instead, the majority of them exist as potentially mobile entities unattached to other cells. This characteristic is crucial to their function. Every minute of everyday, war is waged within our body. The combatants are too small to see. Some, like the infamous HIV virus, are so small that 230 million would fit on the period at the end of this sentence. Yet, they employ tactics that can vanquish the much larger cells upon which our immune system is based. Usually, we never even notice the battles within us.
We
have evolved legions of defenders, specialized cells that silently destroy the
unseen enemy. Sometimes these warriors mistake harmless invaders such as pollen
for deadly foes and trigger an allergic response. Occasionally some of our own
cells begin the mutinous uncontrolled proliferation characteristic of cancer
and manage to evade the surveillance of our body's defensives, millions of
attempts are repelled. We sleep securely at night trusting the invisible
vigilantes of our immune system.
The
science and practice of immunology traces back to 1721 to Lady Mary Wortley
Montagu. She introduced England to a Turkish process of inoculation with
unmodified smallpox virus in an attempt to stem the ravages of the normal
course of the disease. Her techniques were quite crude and as many as her
patients died as survived, but those that survived were immune to the disease
forever.
Our
immune system is not controlled by any central organ such as the relationship
to our brain to our nervous system. Rather it has developed and functions as a
kind of biological democracy where the individual members achieve their ends
through an information network of biochemical substances called cytokins.
Many
different variables in our environment and lifestyle can affect the efficiency
of its function. Our immune system accounts for approximately 1% of our
bodies 100 trillion cells. These defender cells originally arise in our bone marrow
and mature in other parts of our body, the thymus, spleen and lymph glands. The different
lineage’s, which develop, all share one common objective; to identify and
destroy all substances, living, inert, that are recognized as foreign to our
body. This includes cancer cells that challenge our immune system everyday for
each and every one of us.
NK
Cells:
NK cells were discovered in the 1970's and constitute up to
15% of the total lymphocyte population in normal healthy subjects. They are
capable of killing a broad range of tumor and virus infected cells. Depressed NK cell
activity and depressed NK cell populations are associated with the development
and rapid
progression of cancer, hepatitis, AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, various
immunodeficiency syndromes and certain autoimmune diseases.
NK
cells have important biological functions. Recently it was realized that the NK
cell participates either directly or indirectly in multiple networks relating
to development, regulation and communication within the immune system. The NK
cell can be viewed as a remarkably efficient effector cell that is not only
equipped for killing virally infected tumor cells, but is also capable of rapid responsiveness to
exogenous or endogenous signals by production of a variety of cytokines and
other factors involved in interactions between immune and no immune cells. The biological
role of NK cells is not restricted to immune surveillance against infectious
agents or tumor metastases. Rather, it is a much more broadly based involvement in a
variety of essential biological processes ranging from reproduction to coping
with daily stress
Natural
killer (NK) cells are a subset of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with the
distinct morphological features of large granular lymphocytes. They are
distinguishable from T or B lymphocytes by their surface phenotype, cytokine
profile and the ability to mediate spontaneous cytotoxicity, without prior
sensitisation, against a broad range of targets. NK cells mainly circulate in
the blood, where they account for 5 to 15% of circular lymphocytes. They can
also be found under physiological conditions in several nonlymphoid tissues,
e.g. lung or intestinal mucosa. In some organs, e.g. the liver, NK cells
represent up to 45% of tissue- infiltrating lymphocytes.
.
NK
cells now appear to present the first line of defense against metastatic spread
of tumors. In numerous studies, low NK cell populations were correlated with
greater and more rapid spread of tumors with shorter host longevity and with
greater morbidity. NK cell activity
and NK cell count are NOT the same. NK cells may be present in sufficient numbers, but unless they are
activated they are ineffective in doing their job. Decreased NK cell activity is linked to the
development and progression of many diseases.
The
Immune Response:
There
are Four critical phases to the immunological response and lifestyle issues and
some dietary supplements can influence them.
1. During phase one, the offending invader is identified
and recognized as being foreign to our body and then quickly consumed by hungry
roving macrophages as little PAC men that are found in all of the tissues in
our body and circulating round in our blood stream looking for their next free
lunch. They seize upon this foreign agent, engulf it, eat it and release a
series of cytokines that then trigger the second phase of the immunological
reaction.
2. In phase two, these biochemical substances then
activate the helper T cells that have the job of coordinating the counterattack
on a body-wide scale. Most interactions of the cell mediated immunological
(CMI) response take place through the activity of the T-cell lymphocytes. They
are a very special type of white blood cell that receives "training"
mostly in the thymus, a small gray organ cloaked in mystery that sits behind
the breastbone and above the heart. (The T in t-cell stands for thymus
derived.) This unimpressive little gland swells in size from birth to puberty
and then begins to shrink. As the clones of T-cells mature in the thymus they
learn to recognize specific targets (antigens) for example of a virus or
bacterium.
The thymus pumps out T-cells by the tens of millions every day. Even
though only a few of them may recognize any one antigen, the collective
scouting force is vast enough to identify almost all of the nearly infinite
variety of antigens that mother nature can produce.
As
previously mentioned, to start this powerful CMI response the T-4 (helper)
cells receive a signal (lymphokine) from little Pac-man like cells called
macrophages that eat everything that they consider to be foreign to our system.
The T-4 cells can also be directly stimulated to take action by interacting
with the antigens. These helper cells are unarmed but once stimulated they send urgent
biochemical signals (lymphokines) to a special squadron of T-cells called the NK (natural killer
cells).
The
T cells then begin to multiply and release other cytokines that further
stimulate more T cells,
B-cells and natural killer
cells. As the number of B cells increase,
the helper T cells signal them to begin producing antibodies, thus, bringing us
to the third stage of the immunological response.
3. In the third stage, the antibodies
are circulating around in our blood stream and are attaching to the foreign
virus or bacteria causing them to be more quickly engulfed by macrophages or killed by natural killer cells. Like all T-cells, NK cells are trained to recognize one specific enemy, such as
a virually infected cell or a
cancer cell. When called to action by
the T-4 cells the sleeping squadron replicates into an army with a
single-minded task. The NK
cells are lethal. When they attach to a target cell, a
biochemical cascade is triggered that punctures the cell membrane, thus killing
the hapless bacterium, virally infected cell or cancer cell. They
are a critical line of defence and often our only line of defense in
cases of HIV, EBV or CMV infection.
4. The fourth stage of the immunological response begins
when the circulating antibodies no longer have a target and the suppresser T
cells call a truce to the immunological reaction bringing about a new balance,
or homeostasis, in our system. Special cells of the immune system remember what had transpired so
that if again attacked by the same organism our body could respond much faster. These cells also release special little molecules called
transfer factor to help keep the pump
primed, so to speak.
Thus what may have been a 10 day bout from our first
exposure to that particular virus, in future may be a cold that lasts no more
than 24-72 hours.
Unfortunately, all does not always go well,
chronic stress, nutritional deficiencies, exposure to toxins and vaccines can
all suppress our NK cells leaving us more vulnerable to infection or cancer.
The average NK cell activity in a healthy population is
150-225. The average US population NK cell activity is 20 - 50. Exposure to toxins,
heavy metals, petrochemicals, radiation and stress all contribute to lowering
of NK cell activity. Strange viruses and bacteria are also running rampant
through our populations.
Treatment
of chronic diseases with Bovine (ox, cow, buffalo) Colostrom (first milk, “immune
milk”) has proven that NK cell activity is increased and diseases can be
put into remission. Along with a fresh, raw natural diet and other natural therapies
Bovine colostrom cannot be overdosed, but is excreted in the urine.
With all the viruses coming down the pike; prevention for
ourselves by increasing the activation of our NK cells is the key to a healthy
immune system.
Scientific
studies have proven that low NK cell activity is present in all illness. NK
cell function appears to be a biological marker for disease and is important
indicator for declining or improving health.

Insulin
Potentiation Therapy and Chemotherapy
Have you been diagnosed with Cancer? There may be a more
desirable way to treat your cancer than with conventional chemotherapy. When a person is diagnosed with cancer, many oncologists
advise chemotherapy to kill the cancer cells. There’s one problem; a series of
chemotherapy treatments will also destroy the good cells, damaging the body’s
very important immune system, at the same time wreaking havoc on your body,
causing hair loss, vomiting, fever, chills, shivers, and a complete assault on
your blood components. Various types of blood transfusions are frequently
required as a result of the devastations caused by traditional chemotherapy.
With recent advances in our understanding of the inner
workings of cancer cells, it is now possible to avoid the dose-related side
effects of chemotherapy, while at the same time increasing the effectiveness
and specificity of these agents in killing cancer cells. The key to this is an
innovative strategy for drug delivery called Insulin
Potentiation Therapy (IPT).
IPT treatment (low dose chemotherapy) is a conventional cancer
treatment with a modification that solves the above problems
and provides a kinder and gentler way to treat your cancer with less negative impact
than traditional chemotherapy. IPT treatment for cancer can be seen simply as
chemotherapy, but a more refined style of chemotherapy.
What
is Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT)? Insulin Potentiation Therapy is a protocol for
administering traditional chemotherapeutic drugs using Insulin to transport the
chemotherapeutic drugs across the cell membrane into the cancer cells. A much
lower dose of the highly toxic drugs is required, because IPT treatment targets
only the cancer cells, sparing the good cells. The cancer cells get the
chemotherapeutic drugs, not the normal cells. Therefore, the patient does not
suffer the severe side effects so common with conventional chemotherapy – no
hair loss, vomiting, or fevers. The quality of life remains high during
treatment.
What cancers respond to IPT? IPT treatment has been reported
to work well for many different types of cancers. There are also reports of IPT
bringing responses and remissions to patients with some very difficult cancers,
even cancers in late stages. Of course, each patient is evaluated anew,
depending upon the type of cancer, the virulence of the individual cancer
cells, and the stage of development of the cancer when the patient first comes
for treatment.
Why is IPT needed? Over time, regular chemotherapy dosages may
so compromise the patient's blood counts, immune system, and organ function as
to preclude further treatment or even cause organ damage resulting in the
patient's death. IPT eliminates the "lesser of two evils" decision
all cancer patients face when diagnosed. Patients fare well as they experience
a gentle and effective answer to cancer.
Is IPT just as effective as the chemotherapy my oncologist would
prescribe? It does appear that the percentages for remission and
survival are at least as good as with conventional chemotherapy, and probably
much better. IPT has been used successfully in foreign countries for over 70
years. It has only recently been used in the USA, and there are many happy
patients who now support this modified form of chemotherapy. They do say that
IPT is not only more effective than conventional chemotherapy, but also that it
is certainly more comfortable than the suffering they experienced with regular
chemotherapy.
What are the dangers of regular/conventional chemotherapy? Cancer
cells are voracious in fighting for the life-sustaining glucose found in the
blood stream. With 16 times the number of insulin and insulin-like receptors of
a healthy cell, cancer cells steal any and all essential nutrients from the blood
stream before the good cells can get any. This is why, in advanced stages of
cancer, the tumor continues to grow while the patient becomes emaciated and
simply wastes away. Added to this, because of the cancer cell’s amazing
internal protection against toxins, standard administered chemotherapy must be
in large enough quantities to force its penetration into the cancer cells. This
results in the indiscriminate penetration and killing of healthy cells as well,
frequently leaving the patient with fever, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and a
substantially diminished quality of life.
CHEMO OVERDOSE
ABOUT TO HAPPEN
THIS CAN AND DOES HAPPEN - AT TIMES – IF IT DOES THE PATIENT
WILL NEVER KNOW
Are
there any side effects of IPT treatment? Almost none. There is
certainly no hair loss, no going home to shiver in bed for a day or two, and no
severe vomiting. There is occasional constipation, which is easily controlled
by simple medications. Some nausea is occasionally encountered for a few hours
after the first couple of treatments, but this is also easily managed.
What are the benefits of IPT?
•
IPT can be very tough against tumors while being very gentle for the patient,
who continues to live a normal, vital lifestyle while being treated. Treatments
require only approximately 1 ¼ hours, so many patients are able to continue to
work at their customary vocations while undergoing these weekly treatments.
• If
there is a chemotherapy drug that works against a particular type of tumor, it
is likely to work better if potentiated with insulin.
•
Gentle treatment sometimes precludes the need for surgery or radiation. But when
surgery or radiation is required, IPT can be administered simultaneously,
unlike conventional chemotherapy.
• Treatments
costs are significantly less than standard chemotherapy, and most insurance
carriers do pay a significant portion of the fees.
• As
compared to conventional chemotherapy, there are no severe and debilitating
side effects. The patient can easily continue with normal daily activities,
enjoying a high quality of life while avoiding severe vomiting, hair loss, or
fevers.
Are
there any dangers in IPT treatment? Unlike with conventional chemotherapy, there
have been no reported deaths as a result of IPT. In brief, there is no danger.
The worst side effect encountered is easily managed constipation. Unlike
conventional chemotherapy, anemia and decreased platelet counts are unusual and
usually not so severe as to require transfusions.
What should I expect when being treated? We usually advise
that 18-22 treatments are required to achieve remission. However, we have
observed complete remissions after only six treatments, and occasionally more
than 22 treatments are required. It all depends on the type of cancer cell and
how far it has advanced in the patient’s body.
IPT is administered in the same manner as traditional chemotherapy—the patient
rests in a recliner while the chemotherapeutic agent is received through an IV.
The procedure takes about 1 1/4 hours. The number and frequency of treatments
vary with each patient.
Insullin
Potentiation Therapy: A More In Depth Look Chemotherapy
drugs are powerful cell-killing agents. In current medical practice, getting
these drugs into the inside of cells where they do their work requires that
they be administered in doses high enough to force them across the membranes of
cancer cells.
A
major drawback to this dosing strategy is a serious dose-related side effect
profile frequently seen with anticancer drugs. This happens because
chemotherapy agents do not discriminate between cancer cells and other normal
cells in the patient's body. They kill both kinds of cells, therefore there are
side effects.
With
recent advances in our understanding of the inner workings of cancer cells, it
is now possible to avoid the dose-related side effects of chemotherapy, while
at the same time increasing the effectiveness and specificity of these agents
in killing cancer cells. The key to this is an innovative strategy for drug
delivery called Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT).
Readers
will recognize insulin as being the hormone used to treat diabetes. Secreted by
the pancreas in healthy people, insulin is a powerful hormone with many actions
in the human body, a principal one being to manage the delivery of glucose
across cell membranes into cells. Insulin communicates its messages to cells by
joining up with specific insulin receptors scattered on the outer surface of
the cell membranes. Every cell in the human body has some of these receptors,
with there being from one hundred to one hundred thousand of them per cell.
One
might well ask, "What does any of this have to do with cancer cells?"
It is a well-known scientific fact that cancer cells have a voracious appetite
for glucose. Glucose is their unique source of energy, and because of the
relatively inefficient way cancer cells burn this fuel, they use up a great
deal of it. This is one reason why cancer patients lose so much weight. Because
cancer cells require so much glucose, they virtually steal it away from the
body's normal cells, thus starving them.
The
interesting connection between cancer cells and insulin is that recent findings
published in the scientific medical literature report that cancer cells
actually manufacture and secrete their own insulin. That cancer cells
should be able to do this makes good sense, knowing of their requirements for
large amounts of glucose to fuel their processes of uncontrolled growth.
Related to this insulin secretion, and central to the operation of Insulin
Potentiation Therapy, is the even more interesting fact that cancer cells have
ten times more insulin receptors per cell than any of the normal cells
in the body. This fact creates a valuable opportunity for the chemotherapy of
cancer because it significantly differentiates normal cells from the cancerous
ones.
Having
ten times more insulin receptors than normal cells means that the effect of
administered insulin will be ten times greater on cancer cells than on normal
cells. With this difference, combined with actions of insulin in Insulin
Potentiation Therapy, we are able to deliver an effective dose intensity of
chemotherapy drugs to the inside of cancer cells - selectively, with a sparing
of normal tissues - and this can be accomplished using greatly reduced doses of
the drugs, effectively eliminating all their dose-related side effects.
There
is a kind of poetic justice in this wonderful coincidence of cancer cell
biology. The mechanisms that cancer cells use to kill people are the same ones
manipulated in IPT to selectively potentiate chemotherapy effects in them, and
to more safely and effectively kill the cancer cells. A published article about
cancer cells in tissue culture reported that the addition of insulin to the
culture medium enhanced the cell-killing effect of methotrexate - a commonly
used chemotherapy drug - by a factor of up to ten thousand.
This striking result was attributed to two effects on the cancer cells.
One
was an effect of insulin to increase the trans-membrane transport of the
methotrexate into the cell. The other was what the authors called
"metabolic modification by insulin" within the cancer cells. There is
yet another wonderful and powerful coincidence of cancer cell biology involved
in this factor of "metabolic modification" - one that fits right in
with the workings of Insulin Potentiation Therapy.
Just
as cancer cells have their own independent secretion of insulin for unlimited
access to the fuel they require, they also have their own independent secretion
of something called insulin-like growth-factor to provide them with an
unlimited stimulus for growth. Cancer cells also have ten times more of
the receptors for insulin-like growth-factor on their cell membranes -
just as for the insulin receptors.
The
metabolic modification by insulin mentioned above results from the fact that
not only can it join up with its own specific receptors on cell membranes, but insulin
is also able to join up with the receptors for insulin-like growth-factor,
and to communicate messages about growth to these cells. While it may seem
highly undesirable for a cancer therapy to actually promote cancer cell growth,
this is in fact a valuable effect of insulin here.
Chemotherapy
side-effects result from actions on the cells of patient's hair follicles,
their bone marrow, and the cells lining the stomach and intestines. This is
what causes the hair loss, low blood cell counts, and the nausea and vomiting.
What these different cell types all have in common - along with cancer cells -
is that they are all rapidly dividing cells.
Chemotherapy
drugs like to attack rapidly dividing cells, indiscriminately. In a tumor, not
all the cancer cells are in this rapidly dividing stage all at once. They take
turns. When insulin joined up with the excess of insulin-like growth-factor
receptors on those cancer cells in the tissue culture, it stimulated growth in
many of the cells that were not in this growth phase. This
"metabolic modification by insulin" rendered more of these cells
susceptible to chemotherapy attack, contributing to their increased death rate
as observed in the experiment.
In
Insulin Potentiation Therapy, insulin administration does cause the blood
glucose to go down. This is called hypoglycemia. This hypoglycemia is an
anticipated side-effect of the insulin, one rapidly and effectively
controllable with intravenous glucose infusions at an appropriate time,
according to the IPT protocol. The principal role insulin plays in IPT is that
of a biologic response modifier. It modifies the biologic
response of cancer cells in such a way that lowered doses of anticancer drugs,
administered in conjunction with insulin, will kill the cancer cells more
effectively. Insulin modifies the cell membrane allowing more
anticancer drugs into the cell. It also modifies the growth
characteristics in tumors making more of the cancer cells vulnerable
to anticancer drug effects.
Due
to the great excess of insulin-sensitive receptors on cancer cell membranes, we
are now able to create a clear differentiation between cancer and normal cells
using insulin.
Because
of this important element of differentiation, along with the biologic response
modification insulin produces, conventional chemotherapy drugs get targeted
more specifically and more effectively inside the cancer cells only, and this
can occur with the use of greatly reduced doses of these cell-killing drugs.
Cancer cells die, tumors shrink, and no side-effects are caused in any other
tissues. Insulin Potentiation Therapy appears to be a wonderful new way of
treating cancer using nothing other than conventional chemotherapy drugs.

medicinal effects of mushrooms
Host
Defense Potentiators (HDP)
Mushrooms are valuable health food - low in
calories, high in vegetable proteins, chitin, iron, zinc, fiber, essential
amino acids, vitamins & minerals. Mushrooms also have a long history of use
in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Their legendary effects on promoting good
health and vitality and increasing your body's adaptive abilities have been
supported by recent studies. These studies suggest that Mushrooms are probiotic
- they help our body strengthen itself and fight off illness by maintaining
physiological homeostasis - restoring our bodies balance and natural resistance
to disease. The compounds they contain have been classified as Host Defense
Potentiators (HDP), which can have immune system enhancement properties.
That is one of the reasons they are currently used as adjuncts to cancer
treatments in Japan and China. "In Japan, Russia, China, and the U.S.A.
several different polysaccharide anti tumor agents have been developed from the
fruiting body, mycelia, and culture medium of various medicinal mushrooms (Lentinus edodes, Ganoderma lucidum,
Schizophyllum commune, Trametes versicolor, Inonotus obliquus, and Flammulina
velutipes). Both cellular components
and secondary metabolites of a large number of mushrooms have been shown to
effect the immune system of the host and therefore could be used to treat a
variety of disease states."
Many scientific studies performed in
universities and medical facilities have produced volumes of studies on the
medicinal effects of mushrooms on many different ailments affecting humans. For
example:
1. Reishi has been called an “immune potentiator”
and can increase the production of Interleukin-1 & 2. It has been reported
that Reishi extracts “exerted
an inhibition effect on tumor growth”.
Recent studies have also indicated that Reishi can have a number of other effects: Analgesic,
Anti-inflammatory, Antioxidant, Antiviral through inducing interferon production, Lowers blood pressure, Cardiotonic action
through lowering serum cholesterol, Expectorant & Antitussive, Liver (Hepatitis)-protecting and
detoxifying, Protection
against ionizing radiation, Antibacterial, and Anti-HIV activity. Reishi contains calcium, iron and phosphorus as
well as vitamins C, D, and B - including pantothenic acid, which is essential
to nerve function and the adrenal glands.
2. An extract (Lentinan) from Shiitake (for centuries called "Elixir of Life" ) has been licensed as a anti-cancer drug by the Japanese FDA. Lentinan has shown some effect on bowel
cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, ovarian cancer and lung cancer. Lentinan stimulates the production of T lymphocytes and natural killer cells and can potentiate the effect of AZT in the
anti-viral treatment of A.I.D.S. Shiitake is rich in several anti-oxidants (Selenium, Uric
acid & Vitamin A, E, & C) as well as Vitamin D. Shiitake mushrooms may also lower blood pressure in
those with hypertension, lower serum cholesterol levels, increase libido,
stimulate the production of Interferon which has anti-viral effects, and has
proven effective against Hepatitis in some cases.
3. The right species of Cordyceps can
be a powerful stimulant for macrophage activity, strengthening your immune
system’s ability to fight against bacterial and viral infection. Human clinical
studies indicate that Cordyceps can be effective for treatment of high
cholesterol, poor libido/impotence, arrhythmia, lung cancer, and chronic kidney
failure. It is also reported that Cordyceps causes smooth muscle relaxation.
This can make it especially helpful for treating chronic coughs, asthma, and
other bronchial conditions.
4. Recent human clinical studies have indicated that Tremella fuciformis (Bai Mu Erh) stimulates the immune system. Other
recent studies have indicated that Tremella fuciformis demonstrates anti-tumor activity, lowers LDL cholesterol, protects the liver and is
anti-inflammatory and may slow the aging process.
5. Grifola frondosa (Maitake) has also been shown to stimulate the immune system
and to be effective against some tumors.
Many of the compounds found in Shiitake,
Reishi, Cordyceps, and some other mushrooms are classified as Host Defense
Potentiators (HDP). These compounds include: hemicellulose (AHCC),
polysaccharides, polysaccharide -peptides, nucleosides, triterpeniods, complex
starches, and other metabolites. It is believed that combinations of these
products target the human immune system as well as aid in neuron transmission,
metabolism, hormonal balance and the transport of nutrients and oxygen. Through a host-mediated (T cell) immune
mechanism, they help the body regulate the development of lymphoid stem cells
and other important defense responses.
It is important to maintain both good health
and body balance. Each time we get sick, a potential vulnerable spot may open
in our body's defenses. Over time cell mediated immunity may become inadequate
or malfunction. This could allow multiple genetic mutations in the same
location (malignant transformations) to reach cell proportions resulting in
abnormal or malignant growth. The process is generally quite slow and takes
many years and may take many bouts of illness to manifest itself. The objective
should to maintain a well-regulated body. If we can keep our immune system
functioning efficiently, minimize the frequency and severity of all illnesses,
and recover quickly, we are more likely to enjoy a healthy quality of life.
Most studies on the health benefits of
mushrooms for humans have focused on immune enhancement properties.
Complex sugars and their derivatives are able to stimulate a higher level of
cytokine production in humans.
Cytokines are proteins produced by the immune system to facilitate communication
between cells. Complex cellular
processes such as proliferation and differentiation are regulated in part by
extra cellular signaling molecules: for example, polypeptide growth factors,
cytokines, and peptide hormones. Many exert
their mitogenic effects by binding to specific cell surface receptor protein
tyrosine kinases. This interaction triggers numerous biochemical responses,
including changes in phospholipid metabolism, the activation of a protein
phosphorylation cascade, and the enhanced expression of specific
immediate-early, delayed-early, or late response genes. Some common cytokines include
interleukins, interferon, natural
killer cells (NK cells)
activating factors and tumor necrosis factors.
Vitamin and mineral supplements should be
taken on a regular basis to be most effective. A balanced diet, sufficient
rest, a positive outlook, and regular consumption of nutrient supplements
including mushroom products can increase the odds of obtaining and maintaining
good health. Many times we get sick because of deficiencies or imbalances in
our systems that allow pathogens to attack our bodies. Today, we live in
artificial environments where air is filtered and food is processed. We frequently administer antibiotics and a
variety of interventions to cure our ailments or mask their symptoms. Our immune systems are no longer being challenged
as often as they would be in a more natural environment. A major function of
our immune system works like a computer data file. Pathogens invading our
systems are being monitored constantly. Information on new pathogens and other
molecules is stored in our immune data base. When hostile pathogens attack our
bodies, our immune systems are more capable of mounting fast immune responses
if we have a substantive data base of foreign substances. However, with a
meager data base in an under developed immune system, we are incapable of
dealing with many pathogens. A slow immune response will not be able to cope
with an onslaught of pathogens.
Mushrooms can provide a
regular benign challenge to the immune system by presenting many different
molecules to the data base in a non-hostile manner. It has been remarked that
with mushrooms supplements we have a “24-hour Nautilus for our immune system".

THE WHO’S WHO IN CANCER ALTERNATIVES
The forerunners in cancer
alternatives and their contributions
to cancer support and prevention
An amazing multitude of different cancer
cures have been described in books and articles. Former cancer victims have
written about their recovery, which often involved nothing more than living
peacefully on an organic raw-food diet. Others attribute their cure to
immune-enhancing factors, alternative technology or meditation and guided
imagery, sometimes to specific remedies, but commonly in various combinations
of any of these methods. There are so many combinations and variations; the
list seems to be endless.
To bring some order to this confusing
diversity, I would like to form a few broad categories in which the main
treatment is based either on nutrition, specific remedies, and technology or
mind improvement.
NUTRITION CURES
One of the simplest methods was used by the
Danish doctor Kristine Nolfi. She cured her own cancer
with a hundred percent organic and vegetarian raw-food diet, and then continued
to cure cancer patients in the same way on her health farm. She lost her
medical license for using 'dangerous' and unapproved methods but her fame
nevertheless spread throughout Scandinavia. In New Zealand Dr Eva
Hill did much the same thing to cure her own cancer, and to help
many of her patients.
Ann Wigmore pioneered and promoted wheat-grass juice after
curing her own cancer with it, in combination with an organic vegetarian diet.
Together with Victoras Kulvinskas she formed the
Hippocrates Health Institute in Boston, and branches and health farms using
wheat-grass juice quickly sprang up in many countries. It is more effective if
a non-centrifugal juicer is used for making juices, or possibly just a mincer
with the juice pressed by hand.
In South Africa, Johanna Brand,
a naturopath, invented the now famous grape cure by
curing herself of stomach cancer in the 1920's. For six weeks she ate nothing
but grapes, black varieties are the best. Thousands of former cancer victims
have testified as to the effectiveness of her method. Because it is now so
difficult to obtain unsprayed grapes, commercially sprayed grapes have
sometimes been used after thorough washing in warm soapy water and careful
rinsing
The Breuss-Cure, which
originated in Germany, also lasts for 6 weeks; a maximum of 500 ml of freshly
pressed vegetable juices are used, mainly beetroot with some carrot, celery and
radish. In addition herbal teas and onion broth are recommended. It too, is claimed
to have cured thousands.
Hans Nieper, a respected German cancer therapist (recently
deceased), used in addition to a good diet a wide range of supplements to
inhibit tumor growth, activate the immune system, degrade the tumor with
large-scale enzyme supplementation, and strengthen the liver and general
metabolism. Nieper claimed a 50% survival rate of ‘terminal’ patients. If
patients survive for 18 months on this program, their statistical life
expectancy becomes about normal, unlike with chemotherapy where life expectancy
continues to drop after 18 months.
Another German cancer therapist,
Dr J Kuhl, used a diet high in lactic acid fermented foods with
good results. Lactic acid produced by a tumor rotates light to the left and
enhances tumor growth. Lactic acid produced by lactic acid bacteria, on the
other hand, rotates light to the right and inhibits tumor growth.
Dr Johanna Budwig, also in Germany, found high-quality linseed/flax
oil combined with ‘quark’ and a mainly vegetarian raw-food diet most effective.
Quark is the German word for cottage cheese, but made from lactic acid
fermented raw skim milk as used by Budwig. This provides not only the
beneficial fermentation products, but also a high amount of sulfur-amino acids.
These are mainly cysteine and methionine, which together with the
polyunsaturated fatty acids in linseed/flax oil can quickly restore the
oxidative energy production in and around tumors, and cause them to regress.
The Bristol Cancer Help Centre in England, formerly under the direction of Dr Alec
Forbes, offers a wide-ranging holistic program similar to the Mexican clinics.
This includes a vegetarian diet of largely raw foods, supplemented by specific
vitamins, minerals, enzymes, ginseng and liver herbs, in addition to colonic
cleansing, visualization, biofeedback, relaxation, meditation and spiritual
healing.
Dr Maud Fere, in New Zealand, claimed success with a much more
limited program that had helped her to cure her own bowel cancer. She advocated
a good vegetarian diet, but her main emphasis, similar to Max Gerson's, was
that there must be no salt in it. She also found it beneficial to use diluted
hydrochloric acid, diluted phosphoric acid, ammonium chloride, and tincture of
iodine.
Earlier Are Waerland
became famous for a successful diet that consisted of sour milk and similar
products, whole grains raw or only partly cooked, as well as fruits and
vegetables. There are still many active Waerland groups in Germany and
Scandinavia. Bircher-Benner advocated a similar
lacto-vegetarian raw-food diet. He invented the by now famous but greatly
deteriorated muesli. The macrobiotic diet based on cooked brown
rice and only a minimum of raw food is very different from all the other
anti-cancer diets. It has a mild cleansing action and some cancer victims claim
to have been cured with a strict macrobiotic diet.
From 1951 Dr A. Ferenczi
in Hungary used large amounts of beetroot successfully
for tumor regression, up to 1 kg daily have been used. The active ingredient is
the purple coloring containing anthocyanin. It is now also available as a
freeze-dried powder.
The Gerson Therapy
Best
known is probably the Gerson therapy. Born in Germany, Dr Max Gerson immigrated
to the US in 1938. His diet consists mainly of fresh, preferably organic, fruit
and vegetables. He stressed a high potassium content that is more in the skins
or outer part of root vegetables than in the centers. Sodium, on the other
hand, was to be severely restricted - the diet was completely without added
salt, but with added potassium salts instead.
In addition, Gerson prescribed hydrochloric
acid with pepsin, pancreatin, and high doses of Lugol's solution for iodine
together with freeze-dried thyroid, niacin, Royal Jelly and injections of
vitamin B12 with crude liver. In addition, raw liver juice was used for its
high content of enzymes. Later, with increasing chemicalization of agriculture,
the liver juice was omitted while linseed/flax oil was belatedly added to the
list of supplements.
Liver detoxification with frequent coffee
enemas was another cornerstone of the Gerson Therapy; otherwise patients with
advanced cancer might die despite disappearing tumors. Gerson treated hundreds
of so-called terminal cases of which about 50 % recovered.
Dr Issels used the Gerson therapy successfully in Germany. In
addition, he realized the harmful influence of dead or infected teeth and
mercury amalgam fillings on the outcome of cancer therapy. Therefore, his
patients had to have all unhealthy teeth removed at the beginning of the
treatment.
The Kelly approach
Dr
W. D. Kelly, an American dentist, was given only one month to live with
multiple tumors of the liver, pancreas and other organs. He cured himself with
a vegetarian raw-food diet with the addition of various supplements, but
especially with high doses of pancreatin. Pancreas enzymes are very effective
in destroying tumors and sometimes even too effective. Kelly, like Gerson and
other holistic cancer therapists, saw the greatest danger in a too rapid
destruction of the tumor that can kill the patient with poisons generated by
the disintegrating tumor proteins. He recommended daily Epsom salts purges
during the critical period and, if required, also coffee enemas.
After helping thousands of patients by
supplying individualized information to the patient's doctor, he believes that
cancer can usually be cured if there is at least one month, but preferably
three months, of life expectancy when starting the program.
As a simple, but somewhat expensive
self-test for the early detection of cancer before tumors can be found
clinically, he recommends taking six to eight pancreatin tablets after each
meal for four weeks. If you feel worse after these four weeks with nausea,
headaches or fatigue, there is likely to be a cancerous condition. If you feel
better instead, brighter and with more energy, the condition is pre-cancerous.
If there is no difference there is probably no early cancer, but there may
already be a clinically detectable malignant tumor present.
Kelley has an extensive documentation with 10,000
medically verified diagnoses. In one study all his cases of pancreas cancer
were investigated. With conventional treatment there were virtually no
survivors after 5 years. He had 22 cases on record. Of these, 10 never started
the treatment and survived for 67 days. 7 followed it partially and survived an
average of 233 days, while the 5 who followed the Kelley treatment completely
all recovered completely.
Aajonus
Vonderplanitz, in California, claims great success in overcoming advanced cancer with
a raw-food diet that includes raw (organic) meat, see his book We Want to
Live (1997).
REMEDIES
& HERBS
I recently read that about ten thousand
Americans a day cross the border into Mexico for medical treatment. Many of
these have US health insurance that is not valid in Mexico. For some the
attraction may be cheaper treatment, and for others a more humane face of
medicine, but the most important draw card would be the fact that all holistic
cancer clinics have effectively been eliminated in the US, and are now just
south of the border down Mexico way. While these clinics also give dietary
advice, they rely mainly on specific remedies, such as laetrile, ozone therapy,
herbs and specific immune enhancing measures, but also visualization and
meditation.
Many thousands of former cancer victims have
attested to the beneficial effects of laetrile in the
treatment of their disease. While not a cure in itself, laetrile has been found
in clinical trials to reduce or eliminate cancer-related pain, improve the
appetite with weight gain in underweight patients, eliminate the typical
nauseating cancer odor in terminal wards and induce a sense of well-being and
hope. In animal experiments also tumor inhibition was evident. Initially,
laetrile commonly is injected, several grams daily, while oral doses of similar
amounts may continue for a year or more. Animal experiments showed similar
benefits to those from laetrile even when just bitter almonds or apricot
kernels were eaten. These are also commonly used in countries where the
availability of laetrile is restricted or where its use is illegal.
Garlic is frequently used as a supporting remedy in the
treatment of cancer. It has proven anti-cancer properties. Not only does it
protect against the formation of tumors, including metastases, it also inhibits
the growth of established tumors. In addition, it strengthens the immune system
and improves the detoxifying ability of the liver.
Two other remedies used widely in the
Mexican and other cancer clinics are Vitamin C, and hydrazine sulfate. Linus
Pauling and Ewan Cameron pioneered Vitamin C treatment
for cancer, and found greatly increased survival times for terminal cancer
patients with 10 g of Vitamin C daily. Now it is sometimes used in even larger
amounts, just below the threshold where it causes diarrhea, initially it may
also be infused intravenously.
Hydrazine sulfate was discovered by Dr Joseph Gold for use in cancer
treatment. It blocks a liver enzyme which converts the lactic acid produced by
a tumor back into glucose, a reaction which takes much more energy from the
patient than it generates. It was mainly used with ‘terminal’: patients who
reported improved appetite, normalized weight, increased strength and less
pain. However, presently it is increasingly used in earlier stages and more and
more patients claim that their tumors have disappeared.
Another group of remedies is specifically
designed to stimulate the immune system. In the 1950s Krebiozen made
headlines in the US, promoted by a respected scientist, Dr Andrew Ivy. Five
hundred doctors used it, and 20,000 testimonials of cancer victims stood behind
Dr Ivy and his co-workers at their trial. They were acquitted, but the AMA
succeeded in blacklisting Krebiozen.
Dr B Coley was an early US cancer pioneer who used a special
vaccine to induce fever and inflammation in cancer patients. Out of 500 cases
half remained free of malignancy during follow-up for 5-54 years.
Virginia Livingston-Wheeler, an US microbiologist, combined a vegetarian diet
with a vaccine prepared from the patient's own body fluids. Most widely used,
however, especially in Germany, are vaccines related to the tubercle bacillus
that were developed by Prof Enderlein.
In addition to the successful homeopathic
cancer treatment by the US doctor E G Jones before
homeopathy was outlawed, Dr W F Koch also gained the
support of thousands of patients with his homeopathic oxidation catalyst.
Mistletoe, too, is often given in homeopathic form.
Dr William Lane in the US noticed that sharks do not develop cancer.
This prompted him to experiment with good results with shark
cartilage that is now commercially available. Liquid bovine
cartilage appears now to be preferable to shark cartilage. Also shark oil is
useful.
Gaston Naessens in Canada was successful curing cancer by injecting
a modified camphor compound into lymph nodes to strengthen the immune system.
He claims a long-term remission rate of 75%. His remedy, called 714-X,
is now available from Canada and New Zealand.
Dr Seeger, the German cancer researcher, found Zell Oxygen
most helpful to ‘normalize’ cancer cells by restarting their oxidative energy
production. Zell Oxygen is a culture of special young yeast cells very high in
oxygenating enzymes. It works best combined with Royal Jelly. Wobe-mugos
is imported from Germany and contains proteolytic enzymes from hydrolyzed beef
pancreas, thymus and other glands. It is claimed to be very beneficial in
so-called terminal conditions.
Herbal Remedies
Essiac (Ojibway Indian Tea) is another famous cancer herb mixture developed
about 1922 by the Canadian nurse Rene Caisse. In 1937 the Royal Cancer
Commission found that Essiac was effective against cancer and in 1938 Essiac
came within three votes of being legalized as a remedy for terminal cancer.
After this, Rene received special permission to treat terminal cancer patients
but was not allowed to take money for it. At the time of her death in 1978 the
Canadian Ministry of Health & Welfare destroyed her huge collection of
documents and patient files on the effectiveness of Essiac.
The four ingredients are rhubarb root,
burdock root and slippery elm as blood purifiers and the tops of young sheep's
sorrel (Rumen acetosella) to destroy cancer cells. The use of Essiac is
gradually spreading to other countries but there is also a warning that some
distributors have substituted yellow dock or curly dock for the essential
sheep's sorrel.
A tea made from leaves and stems or twigs of
papaw is another traditional cancer remedy. It was
revealed to Stan Sheldon on the Queensland Gold Coast in 1962, who cured his
rapidly spreading tumors in both lungs within two months. This remedy is now
widely used throughout Queensland. According to an article in New Scientist, a
chemical has been discovered in one kind of papaw, which is one billion times
more effective against cancer cells than presently used anti-cancer drugs. An
Aboriginal cancer remedy is the maroon bush, while the
use of mistletoe preparations is based on ancient
European folklore and recommendations by Rudolf Steiner.
Jethro Kloss was a well-known early American herbalist of the
‘old school’. For cancer treatment he used mainly red clover blossoms, violet
leaves and flowers, the roots of burdock and yellow dock, golden seal,
echinacea, aloes, agrimony, dandelion root, supposedly with good success.
Even more famous and most widely used in
many countries, is the Hoxsey herb mixture. It
originated about 1925 in the US with thousands of patients attesting to its
usefulness in overcoming their cancer. The internal remedy consists of amarga,
berberis root, buckthorn bark, burdock, licorice, pokeroot, prickly ash, red
clover, stillingia root and potassium iodide. There were also three external
remedies to be painted on any visible tumors to make them dry up and fall out.
Presently mainly Herbveil 8 and KC101
(in NZ) and cansema are being used for melanoma and
other skin cancers as well as tumors close to the skin, such as breast tumors.
Jason Winters described his own cure from terminal cancer in his
book 'Killing Cancer'. In addition to diet, he used red clover, chaparral, gotu
kola, selenium and some not well-defined roots and spices in his herb mixture,
which is not available in most countries.
MIND
IMPROVEMENT
Wilhelm Reich discovered the harmful effects
of repressed sexual feelings in the development of
cancer. His methods for freeing up feelings and energy flows have become
standard practice in bio-energy therapy and other holistic treatments.
Another ten-year study published in the
Lancet, of women with advanced metastatic breast cancer found that just belonging
to a support group and meeting once a week, doubled the life span
as compared to a control group that had medically been treated in the same way.
In addition to some well-known support groups, such as those run by the Bristol
clinic in England, or Ian Gawler's support group in Victoria (Australia), there
are now small groups, often in connection with meditation groups, in many
cities.
Well known for his meditation
work with cancer patients was Dr A Meares of Melbourne. In the US the Simontons
have pioneered guided imagery in cancer treatment. They
showed that survival times with terminal cancers can be doubled in this way.
Characteristics in patients, which they found to be associated with above
average results are emotional resilience, flexible beliefs, physical activity,
strong self-concept and social autonomy. Many cancer patients have been greatly
helped and seem to have recovered mainly because they learned to express their
feelings and emotions and they moved towards fulfilling their emotional needs.
Of all the published, properly randomized
clinical trials, psychotherapy is by far the most
effective cancer therapy. Eysenk and Grossarth-Maticek (Behavior Research and
Therapy 1991; 29 (1):17-31) found that 13 years after extended
individual therapy none of 50 patients in the treated cancer-prone group had
died but 32 percent in the control group. With group therapy, after 7 years,
there were18 out of 239 cancer death in the treated group, compared to 111 of
the 234 in the control group. With terminal cancer patients the increased
survival time was 64% and women with metastasized breast cancer lived about
twice as long.
The most powerful setback to recovery, on
the other hand, is a medical pronouncement that the condition in incurable and
terminal, especially if a time limit is mentioned. This then becomes a
self-fulfilling hypnotic suggestion; just like "pointing the bone" in
other cultures and it is then difficult for a holistic therapist to change this
medically implanted death wish into hope and faith that
are the keys for recovery.
The most promising therapy appears to be The
New Medicine of the much-persecuted German Dr Hamer.
He claims a 95% success rate by discovering and eliminating the emotional shock
that triggered the development of cancer, commonly one to two years before its
diagnosis. My own preference is a combination of Dr Hamer’s approach, with an
organic raw-food diet that is suitable for the metabolic type of the patient.

PLANTS Profile for Thevetia peruviana (luckynut) | USDA PLANTS
1.
Oleander is a poisonous evergreen shrub identified by its fragrant white, rose, or purple
flowers, whorled leaves, and long follicles containing seeds. It grows in mild
climates or as an indoor plant. The active ingredients are extracted from the leaves, but all parts of the plant are poisonous.
2. There is no established therapeutic dose of oleander
extract. What may be an acceptable
dosage for one could be deadly to another
3. Even a small amount of oleander can cause death due to its effects on the heart
4.
The oleander plant should not be
used except under the careful observation and controlled conditions of a
clinical TriaL - (someone’s kitchen stove top can NOT
be considered “UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS….”)
5. The oleander leaf is on the list of unapproved herbs.
This means that it is not recommended for use because it has not been proven to
be safe
6. The plant parts are
toxic, whether cooked, raw, made into tea, OR SOUP. Who can say that
the oleander preparations (“when prepared and taken according to instructions”)
will be exactly the same each and every time? Since the slightest variation
could cause serious injury or death.
7. In March 2000, the FDA warned A
company that manufactured Anvirzel to
immediately stop promoting the product as safe and
effective, after it found misleading information on their
Web site. The FDA noted that CLAIMS were being
made based on very preliminary and inconclusive data.
Such claims are not allowed until after a drug is fully tested and shown to be
safe and effective. This Texas based company manufactures ANVIRZEL but it is not allowed to market its product in the
U.S. It is shipped to other parts of the world where it’s used. One can fly to
Honduras, Mexico and purchase a six month supply for around $9,000
8. The FDA has received reports of at least 2 deaths linked to the use of Anvirzel before the filing of the Investigational New Drug
application
9.
THE International Wellness Directory AND MINNESOTA WELLNESS PUBLICATIONS, INC. MAKE
NO GUARANTEES ABOUT THIS FORMULA NOR DO WE RECOMMEND MAKING IT.
10. According to the Toxic Exposure
Surveillance System (TESS) in 2002 there were 847 known human poisonings in the
United States related to Oleander (Watson 2003). We recogonize the fact that
not all 847 cases are related to home therapuic applications, but we can
safetly say that with further research we will be able to identify what percent
are actually related.
11. Because oleander is similar to the drug digoxin, it may share some of the same interactions,
although this has not been thoroughly studied. Digoxin interacts with
many drugs, including acarbose, acetazolamide, activated charcoal,
amiodarone, atorvastatin, azithromycin, azosemide, bepridil, beta-adrenergic
blockers, bumetanide, canrenoate, cascara sagrada, cholestyramine,
clarithromycin, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, diltiazem, erythromycin,
ethacrynic acid, furosemide, hydroxychloroquine, indomethacin, itraconazole,

propafenone, propantheline, quinidine, quinine, spironolactone,
succinylcholine, thiazide diuretics, torsemide, valspodar, verapamil, and
vincristine.
12. Low potassium
levels in the blood may increase the dangerous side effects of
oleander. Therefore, oleander should
be used cautiously with drugs that may lower potassium levels, such as
laxatives or some diuretics (drugs that increase urine flow).
13. Toxic effects of oleander on the heart may be
increased if used with calcium supplements
14. Oleander contains
cardiac glycoside heart-active substances.
Herbs
or supplements that may cause increased heart effects/damage if taken with
oleander include: adonis, balloon
cotton, black hellebore root/melampode, black Indian hemp, bushman's poison,
cactus grandifloris, convallaria, eyebright, figwort, foxglove/digitalis,
frangipani, hedge mustard, hemp root/Canadian hemp root, king's crown,

root, psyllium husks, redheaded cotton-bush, rhubarb root, rubber vine, sea-mango,
senna fruit, squill, strophanthus, uzara, wallflower, wintersweet, and yellow
dock root. Notably, bufalin/Chan Suis is a Chinese herbal formula that has been
reported as toxic or fatal when taken with cardiac glycosides.
15. Additional side effects of oleander ingestion include
irritation and redness of lips, gums, tongue, nausea, vomiting, depression,
irritability, fast breathing, sweating, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache,
confusion, visual disturbances, and constricted pupils. Abnormal blood tests, including
tests of liver and kidney function (potassium, bilirubin, creatinine, and blood
urea) have been reported in humans.

Fasting is an exceptionally ancient,
and powerful, approach to healing many common disease conditions. It allows the
body to rest, detoxify, and to heal. During fasting the body moves into the
same kind of detoxification cycle that it normally enters during sleep. It uses
its energy during a fast, not for digesting food, but for cleansing the body of
accumulated toxins and healing any parts of it that are ill.
As a fast progresses the
body consumes everything that it can that is not essential to bodily
functioning. This includes bacteria, viruses, fibroid tumors, waste products in
the blood, any build up around the joints, and stored fat. The historical
record indicates that human beings are evolutionarily designed to fast. It is
an incredibly safe approach to healing and the body knows how to do it very
well.
The Physiological Changes of Fasting
Many of the most dramatic changes that occur in the body during fasting take
place on the first three days of the fast. These occur as the body switches
from one fuel source to another. Normally, the primary form of energy the body
uses for energy is glucose, a type of sugar. Most of this is extracted or
converted from the food we eat. Throughout the day, the liver stores excess
sugar in a special form called glycogen that it can call on as energy levels
fall between meals. There is enough of this sugar source for 8-12 hours of
energy and usually, it is completely exhausted within the first 24 hours of
fasting. (However, once the body shifts over to ketosis or fat as fuel, this
new fuel is used to also restore the body's glycogen reserves.)
Once the liver's stores of glycogen are gone, the body begins to shift over to
what is called ketosis or ketone production - the use of fatty acids as fuel
instead of glucose. This shift generally begins on the second day of fasting
and completed by the third. In this interim period there is no glucose
available and energy from fat conversion is insufficient but the body still
needs fuel. So it accesses glucose from two sources. It first converts glycerol,
available in the body's fat stores, to glucose but this is still insufficient.
So it makes the rest that it needs from catabolizing, or breaking down, the
amino acids in muscle tissue, using them in the liver for gluconeogenesis, or
the making of glucose. Between 60 and 84 grams of protein are used on this
second day, 2-3 ounces of muscle tissue. By the third day ketone production is
sufficient to provide nearly all the energy the body needs and the body's
protein begins to be strongly conserved. The body still needs a tiny amount of
glucose for some functions, however, so a very small amount of protein, 18-24
grams, is still catabolized to supply it - from 1/2 to 1 ounce of muscle tissue
per day. Over a 30 day water fast a person generally loses a maximum of 1-2
pounds of muscle mass. This conservation of the body's protein is an
evolutionary development that exists to protect muscle tissue and vital organs
from damage during periods of insufficient food availability.
From the third day onward the rate of the breakdown of fatty acids from adipose
or fat tissue continues to increase, hitting its peak on the tenth day. This
seven day period, after the body has shifted completely over to ketosis, is
where the maximum breakdown of fat tissue occurs. As part of protein
conservation, the body also begins seeking out all non-body-protein sources of
fuel: nonessential cellular masses such as fibroid tumors and degenerative
tissues, bacteria, viruses, or any other compounds in the body that can be used
for fuel. This is part of the reason that fasting produces the kind of health
effects it does. Also, during this period of heightened ketosis the body is in
a similar state as the one that occurs during sleep - a rest and detoxification
cycle. It begins to focus on the removal of toxins from the body and the
healing and regeneration of damaged tissues and organs.
Fasting and Healing
Fasting has been found to help a number of disease conditions, often
permanently. There has been a number of intriguing clinical trials and studies
treating numerous disease conditions with fasting. Here are some of those
findings.
* In one clinical trial of hypertension and fasting, 174 people with
hypertension were prefasted for 2-3 days by eating only fruits and vegetables.
They then participated in a 10-11 day water only fast, followed by a 6-7 day
post fast in which they ate only a low-fat, low- sodium vegan diet. Initial
blood pressure in the participants was either in excess of 140 millimeters of
mercury (mm HG) systolic or 90 diastolic or both. Ninety percent of the
participants achieved blood pressure less than 140/90 by the end of the trial.
The higher their initial blood pressure the more their readings dropped. The
average drop for all participants was 37/13. Those with stage 3 hypertension
(over 180/110) had an average reduction of 60/17. All those taking blood
pressure medication prior to fasting were able to discontinue it. Fasting has
been shown in a number of trials like this one to be one of the most effective
methods for lowering blood pressure and normalizing cardiovascular function.
Blood pressure tends to remain low in all those using fasting for
cardiovascular disease once fasting is completed.
* Fasting is exceptionally beneficial in chronic cardiovascular disease and congestive
heart failure, reducing triglycerides, atheromas, total cholesterol, and
increasing HDL levels.
* Fasting has been found effective in the treatment of type II diabetes, often
reversing the condition permanently.
* Because of its long-term effects on metabolism, fat stores in the body,
leptin, and disease conditions associated with obesity, fasting has been found
to be one of the most effective treatments for obesity.
* A number of studies have found that fasting is beneficial in epilepsy, reducing
the length, number, and severity of seizures. Fasting is especially effective
for helping alleviate or cure childhood epilepsy.
* In a 1988 trial of 88 people with acute pancreatitis, fasting was found
better than any other medical intervention. Neither nasogastric suction nor
cimetidines were found to produce as beneficial effects as those from fasting.
Symptoms were relieved irrespective of the etiology of the disease.
* A number of studies have found that fasting is effective for treating both osteoarthritis
and rheumatoid arthritis. Fasting induces significant antiinflammatory actions
in the body and researchers found decreased ESR, arthralgia, pain, stiffness,
and need for medication.
* Autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rosacea, chronic urticaria, and acute
glomerulonephritis have all responded well to fasting.
* Severe toxic contamination has shown to be significantly helped with fasting.
Clinical trials have found that people poisoned with PCB experienced
"dramatic" relief after 7-10 day fasts.
* Poor immune function improves during fasting. Studies have found that there
is increased macrophage activity, increased cell-mediated immunity, decreased
complement factors, decreased antigen-antibody complexes, increased
immunoglobulin levels, increased neutrophil bactericidal activity, depressed
lymphocyte blastogenesis, heightened monocyte killing and bactericidal
function, and enhanced natural killer cell activity.
* Other diseases that have responded to fasting are: psychosomatic disease, neurogenic
bladder, psoriasis, eczema, thrombophlebitis, varicose ulcers, fibromyalgia,
neurocirculatory disease, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease,
bronchial asthma, lumbago, depression, neurosis, schizophrenia, duodenal
ulcers, uterine fibroids, intestinal parasites, gout, allergies, hay fever,
hives, multiple sclerosis, and insomnia.
* The historically lengthy claim that fasting increases life span is beginning
to garner some support in research literature. Regularly repeated 4-day fasting
has been found to increase the life span in normal and immunocompromised mice.
* Although the use of fasting in the treatment of cancer is controversial,
there is some emerging data SHOWING that fasting helps prevent cancer.
Intermittent fasting (2 days weekly) has shown an inhibitory effect on the
development of liver cancer in rats.
People Who Should Not Fast
Although most people can fast, there are a few who, because of special
conditions, should not.
* People who are extremely emaciated or in a state of starvation
* Those who are anorexic or bulemic
* Pregnant, diabetic women
* Nursing mothers
* Those who have severe anemia
* Those with an extreme fear of fasting
* Those with porphyria.
Porphyria refers to a genetic metabolic defect that affects the body's ability
to manage porphyrins. Porphyrins are a group of compounds that combine with
iron to produce blood, are involved in the control of electron transport
systems, and, within mitochondria, are intricately involved in the production,
accumulation, and utilization of energy. Porphyria can cause malfunctions in
the liver, bone marrow, and red blood cells and produces a wide range of
symptoms including seizures.
* People with a rare,
genetic, fatty acid deficiency, which prevents THE INITIATION OF KETOSIS. This
is a deficiency involving the enzyme acetyl-CoA, a mitochondrial fatty acid
oxidation enzyme, that is essential to ketosis. Those with this deficiency who
do fast can experience severe side effects, including hepatic steatosis,
myocardial lipid accumulation, and severe hypoglycemia.
A Note on Pregnancy, Children, and Fasting
Although many fasting texts suggest that pregnant women not fast, those that
have been found to suffer side effects were also diabetic. Ketosis during
pregnancy can seriously harm the fetus if the mother is diabetic. Fasting
during pregnancy if a woman is not pregnant has not been found harmful to
either mother or fetus. However, fasts for nondiabetic pregnant women should be
no longer than 2-3 weeks duration and be monitored by a health care provider.
Children, even infants, can also fast without complications if the fasts are of
relatively short duration. For infants 2-3 days, children 1-2 weeks depending
on age. These fasts should also be monitored by a health care provider unless
of short duration. The need for infants and young children to fast is rare.
Those Who Should Fast Under Health Care Supervision
While most people can fast safely there are some that should do so only under
the supervision of a health professional experienced in fasting for healing.
* Those with serious disease conditions
* Pregnant women
* Infants and young children
* Type I diabetics
* Those with insufficient kidney function
* Those who are extremely afraid of fasting yet wish to do so anyway
* People with a high toxic contamination level of DDT. The body in a highly
concentrated form in fat tissue stores DDT. Fasting can release huge levels of
DDT into the bloodstream as the fat stores are released. This can be quite
dangerous.
Vitamin D-3 may help curb breast cancer
Study Finds:
Breast cancer patients with low
levels of vitamin D were much more likely to die of the disease or have it
spread than patients getting enough of the nutrient, a study found -- adding to
evidence the "sunshine vitamin" has anti-cancer benefits. The results
are sure to renew arguments about whether a little more sunshine is a good
thing.
The skin makes vitamin D from ultraviolet light. Too much sunlight can raise
the risk of skin cancer, but small amounts -- 15 minutes or so a few times a
week without sunscreen -- may be beneficial, many doctors believe.
While the vitamin is found in certain foods and supplements, most don't contain
the best form, D-3, and have only a modest effect on blood levels of the nutrient. That's
what matters, the Canadian study found.
Only 24 percent of women in the study had sufficient blood levels of D at the
time they were first diagnosed with breast cancer. Those who were deficient
were nearly twice as likely to have their cancer recur or spread over the next
10 years, and 73 percent more likely to die of the disease.
"These are pretty big differences," said study leader Dr. Pamela
Goodwin of Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. "It's the first time that
vitamin D has been linked to breast cancer progression."
But people shouldn't start downing supplements, she warned. Experts don't agree
on how much vitamin D people need or the best way to get it, and too much can
be harmful. They also don't know whether getting more vitamin D can help when
someone already has cancer.
"We have no idea whether correcting a vitamin D deficiency will in any way
alter these outcomes," said Dr. Julie Gralow, a cancer specialist at the
University of Washington in Seattle.
The study was released Thursday by the American Society of Clinical Oncology
and will be presented at the group's annual meeting later this month.
Lots of earlier research suggests vitamin D may help prevent prostate, breast
and especially colon cancer. In lab and animal tests, vitamin D stifles
abnormal cell growth, curbs formation of blood vessels that feed tumors and has
many other anti-cancer effects.
Other evidence: People who live in northern regions of the world have higher
cancer rates than those living closer to the equator, possibly because of less
sunshine and vitamin D.
The Canadian researchers wanted to see whether it made a difference in
survival. They took blood from 512 women at three University of Toronto
hospitals between 1989 and 1995, when the women were first diagnosed with
early-stage breast cancer.
A decade later, 83 percent of those who had had adequate vitamin D blood levels
were alive without extensive spread of their cancer, versus 79 percent of those
whose vitamin D levels were insufficient and 69 percent of those who were
deficient, as defined by widely used medical standards for measuring intake.
One red flag: The few women with the very highest levels of vitamin D seemed to have
worse survival.
Though the study was too small and those results were not conclusive,
"there may be an optimal level of vitamin D in women with breast cancer
and it may be possible to take too much," Goodwin said.
The federal government says up to:
1. 2,000 international units of vitamin D a day seems OK.
2. Taking 800 units per day will, on average, raise blood levels to the middle of the range that seems best for bone and general health
3. Vitamin D is in salmon and other oily fish, and milk is routinely fortified with it, but dietary sources account for little of the amount of D circulating in the blood
"It's very hard to make a
recommendation" because how much difference a supplement makes depends on
someone's baseline level, which also can be affected by sunlight, skin type and
time of year, she explained.
Doctors do suggest breast cancer patients get
their vitamin D levels checked to see whether they are deficient. The simple
blood test is available in many hospitals and labs for about $25
Dr. Nancy Davidson, a Johns Hopkins University cancer specialist who is
president of the oncology society, said those tests are growing in popularity,
even in ordinary medical care.
"Rightly or wrongly, I'm increasingly seeing physicians who are measuring
this," she said.
The Canadian study was paid for by the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in New
York, established by cosmetics magnate Evelyn Lauder.
"It's a very provocative paper. It's confirmatory of a tremendous amount
of evidence that vitamin D is an important component of health," said Dr.
Larry Norton, chief of breast cancer programs at Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center in New York and a medical adviser to the foundation.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. About 184,450 cases and
40,930 deaths from the disease are expected in the United States this year
Consequences
of Iodine Deficiency
93% of
American women have fibrocystic breast disease and the longer this disease
exists, the higher the potential risk for development of breast cancer
Guy Abraham MD, former
professor of obstetrics, gynecology and endocrinology at UCLA School of
Medicine, has written a series of papers about iodine that has drastically
changed my thinking about its role in health and the prevention and treatment
of disease. I had been impressed by Dr. Abraham’s previous work, which showed
that vitamin B6 and magnesium could be very helpful to women with premenstrual
syndrome (PMS) and was eager to learn what he had to say about iodine. Through
a series of articles termed “The Iodine Project,” Dr. Abraham has proposed that
the optimal daily dose of iodine for a person is approximately 12.5 mg, which
is 100 times the RDA of 0.125 mg. He believes that the current prevailing medical opinion that more
than 2 mg a day of iodine is toxic is wrong. He traces the source of this major blunder to a scientific experiment
on rats that was published in 1948 by Drs. Wolff and Chaikoff, which
erroneously concluded that iodine inhibits the thyroid gland at doses of about
20 times the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for iodine. This conclusion was later generalized to
humans and can be found in medical textbooks, including endocrinology and
nutrition textbooks.
The commonly accepted
medical opinion is that iodine’s only role in the body is to help make thyroid
hormones. Although this is an extremely important function, Abraham
demonstrates that the role of iodine in the body goes far beyond its function
of making thyroid hormones. Other possible functions include: helping to regulate moods, preventing cancer (especially in breasts, ovaries, uterus, prostate and thyroid
gland), preventing and treating fibrocystic breasts
in women, helping to regulate blood pressure, helping to regulate blood sugar and prevent and treat
diabetes, and helping
to prevent abnormal
cardiac rhythms. For example, Japanese women, who have one of the lowest
breast cancer rates in the world, ingest more than 13 mg of iodine daily from
seaweed without suffering any adverse consequences. He further demonstrates that iodine tends to be
antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic, and antifungal and that it enhances
immune function. Furthermore, he suggests that suboptimal iodine intake may
contribute to various thyroid abnormalities commonly seen today, including
hypothyroidism (underactive), hyperthyroidism (overactive) and autoimmune
inflammation of the thyroid (Hashimoto’s Disease).
Therapeutic Uses of Iodine Prior to World War II and
Different Forms of Iodine
Dr. Abraham started this
Iodine Project around 1998 when he became aware of the many benefits of
treating patients with iodine using doses far beyond the 2 mg a day, which most
physicians consider to be potentially toxic. He noted that starting in the
1820s, the French physician Jean Lugol used these higher doses to treat a wide
variety of conditions. Dr. Lugol combined elemental iodine (5 %) and potassium
iodide (10%) with 85 % water. Since iodine kills infectious agents, Dr. Lugol
successfully treated many infectious conditions with this solution, which
became known as Lugol’s solution, and which is still available today by prescr*iption.
Prior to World War II, many American and European physicians used Lugol’s
solution to treat thyroid conditions, using doses higher than 2 mg daily
without apparent significant adverse effects.
Dr. Abraham notes that
research has shown that the
thyroid gland prefers to utilize the iodide form of iodine, while other organs,
such as the breast and ovaries, prefer the elemental form of iodine. Both of these
forms are present in Lugol’s solution.
After World War II, the use of Lugol’s solution came to a grinding halt due to
the publication of the Wolff-Chaikoff paper mentioned above and for other
reasons discussed in Abraham’s papers. Dr. Abraham then suggests that the
disease known as “Iodophobia” developed, which he describes as the irrational
fear of prescribing iodine in dosages that had previously been used
successfully by physicians for decades.
He points out in his preface to Dr. David Brownstein’s book Iodine: Why You Need It; Why You Can’t Live
Without It:
“Of all the elements known so far to be essential for
human health, iodine is the most misunderstood and the most feared. Yet, iodine
is the safest of all the essential trace elements, being the only one that can
be administered safely for long periods of time to large numbers of patients in
daily amounts as high as 100,000 times the RDA. However, this safety record only applies to
inorganic, nonradioactive forms of iodine. Some
organic iodine containing drugs are extremely toxic and prescribed by
physicians. The severe side effects of these drugs are blamed on inorganic
iodine although studies have clearly demonstrated that it is the whole molecule
that is toxic, not the iodine released from it.”
Determining if a Person is Iodine Sufficient and
Treatment Dosages
In his excellent short book
on iodine, Dr. Brownstein summarizes his own clinical experience with hundreds
of patients for whom he has prescribed iodine with excellent results and
minimal side effects. To determine whether a patient is iodine sufficient, he
uses the iodine-loading test described by Dr. Abraham. This was the test that
Abraham used to determine if a person had an optimal amount of iodine in
his/her body. Other research had shown that iodine is readily absorbed when
ingested orally and readily excreted in the urine. The assumption was that if a
person ingests a given amount of iodine and is iodine sufficient, most of the
iodine should be found in the urine over a 24-hour period. On the other hand,
if the person does not have an optimal amount of iodine in his body, when he
ingests the iodine, his body will tend to hold onto it and a smaller amount
will be found in the urine during the 24-hour collection period.
To do this test, a patient
first empties his bladder and then ingests 50 mg of iodine/iodide (to be
discussed further below). The patient then collects his urine for the next 24
hours and a sample of it along with a note that includes the total volume
collected is sent to an appropriate laboratory. If the person excretes 90% or
45 mg of the iodine, he is considered iodine sufficient. If less is excreted,
the patient is not optimally sufficient or is iodine insufficient and a
therapeutic dosage of iodine may be administered for a period of time, after
which the test is repeated. Dr. Brownstein has found in using this test, that
more than 90% of his patients are iodine insufficient. Once a person is iodine
sufficient, the
maintenance dose for an adult to maintain sufficiency is about 12.5 mg of
iodine/iodide daily. The treatment
dose when a person is iodine insufficient is generally between 12.5 mg and 50
mg daily. Preliminary
research indicates that if a person is iodine insufficient, it takes about 3
months to become iodine sufficient while ingesting a dosage of 50 mg of iodine
and a year to become iodine sufficient while ingesting a dosage of 12.5 mg of
iodine daily. However, the patient needs to be monitored
closely with awareness of possible side effects and detoxification reactions
Another way of testing
for iodine sufficiency is by painting an area of skin with tincture of iodine.
It should take between 18 to 24 hours or more for the body to absorb the red or
orange iodine stain if the person is iodine sufficient. If the iodine patch
absorbs more quickly, the likelihood is the person being tested is not iodine
sufficient. This method is
probably not as accurate or quantitative as the iodine-loading test with the
subsequent collection of the 24-hour urine.
The dosage of about 12.5 mg of
iodine daily can be obtained with 2 drops of Lugol’s solution or as an
identical over-the-counter solution. This same dosage is also available
over-the-counter in tablet or capsule. Each capsule or tablet or 2 drops of the
Lugol’s solution contains 5 mg of the reduced elemental form of iodINE
(preferred by the breast, ovary and prostate) and 7.5 mg in the iodIDE form
(preferred by the thyroid gland). Numerous testimonials indicate that many
patients improve many symptoms with optimal supplementation of this supplement.
This dose of iodine may have
other benefits as well. Dr. Abraham has shown in his work that iodine promotes
the excretion of toxic minerals, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium as well as
the toxic halogens fluoride and bromide. In the May 2005 edition of Nutrition and Healing, Jonathan V.
Wright, MD notes that his laboratory has also shown that iodine helps remove
toxic elements, including bromide and fluoride, from the body. With this mobilization of toxic elements,
patients may develop temporary side effects, such as fatigue and irritability,
which can be reduced by lowering the dosage of iodine and making sure that
other aspects of nutrition and nutritional supplementation are in place. A physician knowledgeable about iodine who can order appropriate
tests when necessary should monitor this procedure.
Potential Therapeutic Benefits of Iodine in Many
Conditions
Iodine’s role in
helping to prevent and treat cancer needs much more exploration and research,
but there is suggestive evidence
that it plays a role in preventing and/or treating cancer (especially
involving the thyroid gland, breasts, prostate, ovaries and uterus). Max Gerson MD, whose successful alternative therapy
involved using fresh vegetable juices and intensive detoxification, recommended
iodine containing Lugol’s solution for all of his cancer patients.
Factors that Aggravate Iodine Insufficiency
Iodine
insufficiency problems are aggravated by our use of agents that interfere with
the utilization of iodine (sometimes
called goitrogens because they may cause an enlargement of the thyroid gland).
These include the halogens (class of chemicals to which iodine belongs) fluoride, bromine and bromides, and chlorine. Fluoride, added to 50% of the U.S. water supplies,
is also present in most toothpastes, and is used in fluoride dental treatments
for children. It is also present in many processed foods and beverages. Fluoride can interfere with iodine utilization Bromine
replaced iodine in
most baked goods in the 1980’s because of the concern that iodine might be
toxic. In fact, it is the bromine that is toxic and which can also
interfere with iodine utilization.
Bromine is also used to clean hot tubs and is present in many medications. Chlorine, used to treat swimming pools and present
in many of the public drinking water supplies, also interferes with iodine
levels in the body. Safer water
purification systems, like ozone and iodine, itself, exist, but are currently
not widely used.
Most people get iodine in
their diet from seafood and iodized salt. However, only about 50% of Americans
use iodized salt and because of concerns about high blood pressure, many people
have reduced their salt intake. One gram of salt contains 77 mcg of iodine. Because of the high chloride content in
table salt, some experts’ estimate that only about 10% of the iodine in iodized
salt is actually absorbed. The
recommended daily allowance (RDA) of iodine is 150 mcg (somewhat higher for
pregnant women and certain other groups). Though 150 mcg daily may be
sufficient to prevent an enlarged thyroid (goiter) and cretinism (severe iodine
deficiency in babies leading to mental retardation and impaired development), these values are far short of the optimal
values of 12,500 mcg (12.5 mg) recommended by Dr. Abraham. But, even using the lower values, many people still
do not get the RDA and tests have shown that the average blood levels of iodine
have decreased significantly over the past 30 years, in part no doubt, due to
the substitution of bromide for iodide in baked goods in the early 1980’s.
According to the last
national nutritional survey (NHANES III 1988-1994), 15% of the U.S. adult female population is iodine deficient, as defined by the World Health Organization: levels
of iodine/iodide below 50 mcg/L in collected urine. Therefore, 1 in 7 women in the U.S. are frankly iodine deficient. Keep in mind that these figures are much lower than
those found by using the iodine loading test and 24-hour urine collection for
iodine discussed above.
All things considered, I think that the therapeutic use of iodine/iodide has the potential of drastically changing how medicine is practiced today.
Currently, there are four
Laboratories performing the iodine/iodide loading test: FFP Laboratories in
Flat Rock, NC, Hakala Research in Lake Wood, CO. and Labrix Clinical Services
Inc. in Oregon City, OR. All four labs supply their own protocol for details on
collection of urine samples, pooling samples for 24 hr. and sending a 2-ounce
aliquot to the Laboratory for analysis. We recommend this general outline:
1) Have patient stop ingesting iodine 24 to
48 hours before the test if post- supplementation.
2) Discard first morning void;
3) Take 4 tablets of Iodoral® (in a sealed plastic packet);
4) Start collection of urine, following instructions from the Lab that supplied
you with the Kit;
5) The first void on the following morning should be included in the urine
collection;
6) If total urine volume is above 3 liters, follow instructions supplied with
the Kit.
Boxes of 60 packets containing 4 tablets of
Iodoral® are available from Optimox Corporation for use with the loading test
kit supplied by FFP Laboratories in Flat Rock, NC, Hakala Reseach and from
Labrix Clinical Services for use by physician. The cost of one box of 60
packets is $36.00 and may be ordered by calling our toll free number (800)
223-1601. The same phone number may be used to order bottles of Iodoral ® 12.5
mg tablets in sizes of 90 tablets and 180 tablets. Iodoral IOD-50 (50 mg) in
bottles of 30 and 60 tablets are also available for those who need 50 mg
elemental iodine to achieve and maintain whole body sufficiency for iodine.

One gift of
nature - chlorophyll - more closely approximates a miracle food than any other
you’ll encounter
Note: I take 3 shots of wheatgrass a day.
This is equivalent to 7.5 pounds of raw vegetables, 52.5 pounds of raw
vegetables per week, or 210 pounds of raw vegetables a month. Believe me it’s
well worth the cost not to mention the health benefits I receive, as you will
soon find out.
If we look at oxygen as a
bullet to kill cancer cells, then we should look at wheatgrass as a shotgun
blast at treating cancer. The number of ways it deals with cancer is
incredible. First of all it contains chlorophyll, which has almost the same
molecular structure as hemoglobin. Chlorophyll increases hemoglobin production,
meaning more oxygen gets to the cancer. Selenium and Laetrile are also in
wheatgrass, both are anticancer. Chlorophyll and selenium also help build
the immunity system. Furthermore, wheatgrass is one of the most alkaline
foods known to mankind. And the list goes on.
Contains at least 13
vitamins (several are antioxidants),
including B12, many minerals and trace elements, including selenium, and all
20 amino acids. It also contains the hormone abscisic acid (also called: dormin),
the antioxidant enzyme SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) and over 30 other
enzymes, the antioxidant enzyme cytochrome oxidase, laetrile , and a whole lot
of other nutrients.
"superoxide
dismutase (SOD) - which converts two superoxide anions into a molecule of
hydrogen peroxide and one of oxygen"
In other words, SOD converts
one of the most dangerous free radicals: Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), into a
hydrogen peroxide molecule (which has an extra oxygen molecule to kill cancer
cells) and an oxygen molecule.
Now let's talk about
cytochrome oxidase.
"In 1938, the great
cancer scientist and researcher Paul Gerhardt Seeger, M.D., revealed that the
true cause of the cancerous degeneration of a cell results from the destruction
of a specific respiratory enzyme, cytochrome oxidase. In other words, cancer in
the cell is caused by disturbance of oxygen utilization, or cell
respiration."
But it may be that
chlorophyll is the best part of wheatgrass.
"In a study reported
in the journal Mutation Research comparing the anticancer effect of chlorophyll
to beta-carotene, and vitamins A, C and E, chlorophyll was proven to be a more
effective antimutagen than any of them."
I suspect the main reason
chlorophyll is so good at dealing with cancer is the oxygen availability it
provides.
"Both chlorophyll
(as in wheatgrass juice) and hemoglobin (red blood cells) are molecularly
similar. The only actual difference is that the central element in chlorophyll
is magnesium and in hemoglobin it is iron. Chlorophyll has the ability to break
down poisonous carbon dioxide and release free oxygen."
One key question about
wheatgrass is how long to wait after cutting it before you consume it? Most
people, taking their cue from Ann Wigmore, say to take it immediately after
cutting and juicing. However, the hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is 40 times more
potent 4 hours after cutting the wheatgrass than it is at the time of cutting.
So the question boils down to this: How important is ABA to treating cancer
compared to the other anticancer substances in wheatgrass?
Before her death, Dr.
Virginia Livingston-Wheeler had a clinic that claimed to have found a cure for
cancer patients. Her vaccine was based on abscisic acid. This is a quote about
her clinic.
"Abscisic acid is a
supplement you will not find in a health food store. Based on her research, Dr.
Livingston-Wheeler determined that abscisic acid neutralizes the effect of
chorionic gonadotropin, the hormone that protects the fetus from being rejected,
and she classed it as her prime supplement in treating cancer.
Livingston-Wheeler discovered that cancer cells (or the microbes associated
with them) produce a substance very similar to chorionic gonadotropin. Abscisic
acid is a close relative of Vitamin A. In her book, The Conquest of Cancer;
Livingston-Wheeler describes how you can make abscisic acid."
So what do you do, eat it
immediately or 4 hours after you cut it? Perhaps both. Perhaps when you cut
your wheatgrass and juice it, you drink most of it immediately and some 4 hours
later you drink the rest of it.
The reason I get into such a
technical issue is because in some cases wheatgrass juice therapy did not work
as promised. This may be because the patient drank a lot of tap water with chlorine
in it or it may be because abscisic acid is more important than thought or for
some other reason. I don't know, but by splitting up the wheatgrass juice into
two sessions, you get the best of both worlds.
Note: When I buy my wheatgrass I get two shots that I drink right
away. The other shot I let sit for 4-5 hours before taking. By doing so I get
the best of both approaches. Now you know why I do 3 shots each time.
"The Wheatgrass Diet
[of Ann Wigmore] excludes all meat, dairy products and cooked foods and
emphasizes "live foods" such as uncooked sprouts, raw vegetables and
fruits, nuts and seeds. The Wheatgrass Diet was developed by Boston resident
Ann Wigmore who established the Hippocrates Health Institute which later was
renamed the Ann Wigmore Institute (AWI)."
Because it is not know why
this treatment fails sometimes, it is best to supercharge this treatment plan.
Since this plan clearly produces more oxygen for the body, it is clear that it
will slow down or stop the spreading of the cancer. Furthermore, wheatgrass
supercharges your immunity system (which is perhaps why subsequent treatments
seemed to work so well). In any case, it seems most logical to supercharge this
plan with a treatment plan that kills the cancer cells. Essiac Tea, Green Tea,
the grape cure, etc. all do a good job at that.
Note: I do not know if
wheatgrass is alkaline enough to use instead of cesium chloride in an
alkalinity diet. However, eating nothing but wheatgrass and drinking nothing
but ionized water may get a person to the necessary alkaline level.
Ann Wigmore
wrote in her book The Hippocrates Diet and Health Program that a virtual epidemic
of chronic degenerative disease is afflicting our nation: from cancer to heart
disease; from arthritis to schizophrenia; from diabetes to the common cold.
These diseases and so many more, increasingly subjugate a people attuned more
to affording sickness than enjoying the natural state of health, which is our
birthright.
Astounding success in the reversal of chronic degenerative diseases has been
experienced through the application of a mainly vegetarian diet of living foods
consisting of wheatgrass juice, immature greens, sprouts, fruit, vegetables,
and sprouted and/or fermented seeds, nuts and grains.
The use of 70% chlorophyll extract of seven-day-old wheatgrass is
central to the rejuvenation process and the reversal of disease.
The effects of this wheatgrass juice on the diseased organism are twofold
1. It first, provides an
optimal nutritional environment for the healing process
2. Secondly, it catalyses a
detoxification process which increases the elimination of accumulated internal
waste which causes disease by autointoxication.
Let
us examine more closely each of these two processes.
Scientific analysis has demonstrated that grass grown from wheat is a perfectly
complete food in itself, capable of sustaining life in a healthy way.
Dr. G.H Earp Thomas, a soil expert at the Bloomfield Laboratories in
Massachusetts, isolated over 100 elements, including all the known minerals,
from wheatgrass. His calculations indicate that 15lbs of fresh wheatgrass is
equivalent in nutritional value to 350lbs of choicest vegetables.
Studies have shown that wheatgrass is an excellent source of vitamins A, B, C,
E and K, as well as calcium, chlorine, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium,
sodium, sulphur, cobalt and zinc. Further, the chemical structure of the
chlorophyll molecule in wheatgrass reveals that it is remarkably adapted to
utilization of the human blood stream, by virtue of its similarity to the hemin
molecule of hemoglobin. (Hemoglobin is one of the major components of our
blood).
These two molecules are essentially identical with the exception of the central
atom, which is magnesium in the case of chlorophyll and iron in the case of
hemin. Thus we can see that within the context of this optimal and easily
assimilated and utilize nourishment, the human body has the fundamental
components with which to eliminate disease and regenerate itself.
This healing process occurs as the therapeutic chlorophyll in wheat grass juice
catalyses the elimination of the stored toxins, which cause disease. These
toxins are present in the ailing organism in the form of hardened mucous,
crystallized acids, fatty deposits, calcifications and solidified, decaying
fecal matter.
As these toxins are eliminated, the body is cleansed and brought back to its
natural state of health. Wheat grass juice has a very high enzyme content
which helps to dissolve tumors. Imagine the astonished rejoicings of persons
labeled terminal who watch visible tumors disintegrate and disappear before
their very eyes.
The following data on the nutrients contained by the first joint wheatgrass
(7-10" tall) is taken from a report Dr. C.F. Schnabel made to the American
Chemical Society. NUTRIENT MILLIGRAMS PER POUND (453.59G)
Pantothenic
acid (B group vit) Vitamin B6 4 mg, It may seem that wheat grass contains
relatively small amounts of the B vitamins, but in actuality the amounts
compare favorably with latest research on vitamin B needs as compared to C and
A. All in all, wheatgrass juice is a potent food/medicine that has many uses.
Dr. Norman Walker, a centenarian health researcher, had been living primarily
on fruit and vegetables for over 60 years. He felt his longevity was due in
large part of the liquid oxygen, enzymes and chlorophyll contained in fresh
juices.
Chlorophyll is the "blood" of the plant. It is the protein in plant
life that gives it its distinctive green or purple color. When compared to a
molecule of hemoglobin, the oxygen carrier in human blood, chlorophyll is
almost identical.
One of chlorophylls more important functions is to oxygenate the blood stream,
tests have shown that a high fat, high protein diet will reduce the oxygen
supply in our blood. We than develop symptoms of low energy, sluggish
digestion, and metabolism.
Unable to digest, assimilate and eliminate thoroughly its old fuel, with a
weakened immune system and reduced blood oxygen level, the body becomes ripe
for cancer.
In his book, The Cause And Prevention Of Cancer, Dr. Otto Warburg, winner of a
Nobel prize for physiology and medicine (1931) concluded that oxygen
deprivation was a major cause of cancer and that with a steady
blood supply of oxygen to all the cells, cancer could be prevented indefinitely.
But without first eliminating causes of oxygen deprivation (such as smoking,
high fat and high protein cooked foods, alcohol, drugs, poor breathing, and
sedentary habits) any attempt to oxygenate the blood will fail, so we must put
renewed oxygen into the blood stream to effect regeneration.
Breathing exercises, walking and diet are the safest ways to do this.
As for diet, all fresh raw vegetables, fruits, sprouts and greens, especially
wheatgrass, have oxygen contained in the liquid.
When we eat, or drink or juice and drink these foods, our blood supply of
oxygen increases.
By taking a percentage of green foods and juices every day, especially
wheatgrass, you can add vital nutrients such as minerals, enzymes, vitamins,
oxygen, and protein to your blood. Wheatgrass is baby wheat; it can be grown at
home and is fast becoming a highly effective way of eliminating internal waste
from the body. This cleansing allows the proper absorption of nutritious foods.
Pollution and processed and cooked foods have destroyed many of our digestive
enzymes, which now can be supplemented by juicing, while at the same time
providing concentrated selenium, which helps eliminate toxic heavy metals such
as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic.
Most wheat allergies are due to the gluten found in the wheatberry, but
wheatgrass is cut before the plant forms a grain (berry) and therefore has no
gluten.
It is an excellent addition to the diet of a person with allergies.
Healthier blood can lead only to a healthier, more vital body, better able to
with stand stress without injury. It is most important to use a good quality
juicer to extract these juices, as the normal high speed centrifugal types
destroy much of the goodness in juices.
We recommend Low Speed Juicers (or hand juicers) that turn at the slowest speed
to give the maximum of antioxidants.
According to most businesses that sell wheatgrass products, this green liquid
extracted from sprouted grain is high in vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as
many amino acids, such as lysine, tryptophane, and phenylalanine. And
wheatgrass is 70% chlorophyll (the stuff that makes plants green).
Wheatgrass distributors and health-food advocates claim that it is practically
a fountain of youth and has numerous health benefits, such as:
These sources also propose that one ounce of wheatgrass juice is
equivalent in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to two and a half
pounds of green vegetables.
Wheatgrass juice. That little cup of dark green juice pressed from young wheat plants
can be found at virtually any heath store and juice bar. In recent years,
wheatgrass juice has become one of the more popular diet foods available.
However, many people cringe at the thought of consuming one ounce of this
"miracle food" and will instead turn to their coffee and pastries.
Whether it’s because of its pungent taste, or its seemingly undesirable color,
chances are most of you have never consumed wheatgrass juice. I’m here to tell
you that whether you’ve never thought of sampling it, you just flat out refuse
to give it a try, wheatgrass juice is extremely beneficial not only
as food, but as an overall tonic for various ailments.
Wheatgrass is grown through a process known as sprouting. Sprouts are
"complete foods" because they contain all other essential dietary
nutrients, along with the enzymes to help assimilate them. They are easily
digested and enter the bloodstream quickly. The nutrients in
wheatgrass juice are completely assimilated by the human body in 20 minutes. For this reason sprouts
are "quick energy" foods. Wheat sprouts contain four times more folic
acid, and six times more Vitamin C, than unsprouted wheat or ordinary grass.
Humans can’t eat straight wheatgrass because the strong cellulose makes it too
woody and fibrous for the long and complex intestines in humans. Grass eating
animals, however, ( cows, horses, goats, etc.) have short intestines.
Wheatgrass juice benefits the blood cells, bones, glands, hair, kidneys, liver,
muscles, spleen, teeth, and other body parts. Wheatgrass juice protects the
lungs and blood from air and water pollution, cigarette smoke, toxins, and
heavy metals.
Wheatgrass juice is a safe, effective, and an extremely potent aid to weight
loss. It works by suppressing appetite, and by stimulating metabolism and
circulation.
Wheatgrass is an energizer. The vitality obtained from wheatgrass juice is
remarkable. Two ounces of fresh juice equals 3 pounds of organic vegetables in
vitamins and minerals, or the equivalent of two cups of coffee. You’ll feel
refreshed and energized throughout the day.
Wheat grass has only about 10-15 calories per teaspoon. It has no fat or
cholesterol. It has nearly a gram of protein per teaspoon, and includes all
eight of the essential amino acids, as well as 13 of the remaining 16. The
amino acids it doesn’t contain are easily made within the body.
It contains Vitamins A, B1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 12; C, E and K. A teaspoon of
wheat grass contains around 15mg of Calcium, 8mcg Iodine, 3.5mcg Selenium,
870mcg Iron, 62mcg Zinc, and many other minerals. There are four other special
components of wheat grass, which make it particularly valuable. These - not in
any particular order - are:
• Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)
• P4D1
• Muco-polysaccharides
• Chlorophyll.
SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE (SOD), (an anti-cancer factor):
There
are three enzymes known to have significant anti-oxidant activity. One of these
is Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), which is present in wheat grass.
It has been found that cancerous cells have a deficiency or a complete lack of
SOD. So, if you supplement your diet with wheat grass you will almost certainly
be helping your body to avoid, or deal with, cancerous conditions.
Anti-oxidants have the ability to mop up free radicals and so reduce or avoid
cell mutation
Free radicals do not stay in existence for long - because they are so active.
In other words, they want to combine with something - fast. In fact, unchecked,
they can cause havoc - and they produce degenerative changes.
These degenerative changes include:
• Cell mutations - which can lead to cancer, and
• Aging processes - such as the dreaded wrinkles!
And can include illnesses such as:
• Parkinson’s disease.
The more anti-oxidants we have in our system, the faster the free radicals can
be safely de-activated. So, anti-oxidants are an ‘anti-aging’ and
health-promoting influence. They reduce cell mutations, artery damage, skin
wrinkles, and other changes indicative of aging.
P4D1
This is a ‘gluco-protein’ present in wheat grass, which has three main
properties:
Firstly, it appears to act in a way similar to anti-oxidants as far as cell
mutations are concerned. It stimulates the renewal of RNA and DNA - the
creative matter of the body. This means that cell deterioration and mutation will
be slowed down or avoided. Therefore, there will probably be benefits from
using wheat grass to avoid - or even during - degenerative diseases.
Secondly, it appears to reduce inflammation - some say in a more powerful way
than cortisone (and without the side-effects, of course). Some remarkable cures
have been observed with wheat grass for people with inflammatory conditions
such as arthritis.
A third property of P4D1, is that it is also thought to be able to
help the body attack cancer cells, by helping to make the walls of the
cancerous cells more open to attack by the body’s white blood cells. This adds to
the anti-cancer properties of SOD.
MUCO-POLYSACCHARIDES
These are a combination of complex and simple sugars, which appear to stimulate
the body’s repair mechanisms. Enhancing these mechanisms is important; because
the body is constantly repairing and replacing damaged cells. If you can do
this better, it means you will ‘age’ better. Muco-polysaccharides
appear to have a particular affinity to help repair damaged heart and artery
tissue.
Spirulina also contains muco-polysaccharides, by the way; it is these, which
form the cell walls of spirulina, rather than the much tougher cellulose, which
normally forms the cell walls of plants.
CHLOROPHYLL
Chlorophyll is the remarkable substance to which we all owe our
lives.
This is because chlorophyll has the ability to capture the sun’s energy and
lock it into plants in such a way that we can use it to sustain our own lives.
Chemically, chlorophyll is almost identical to hemoglobin - the substance that
transports oxygen from the Lungs to the tissues of the body. Out of about 50
atoms in the compound, only two are different. The main difference is that at
the center of chlorophyll there is a magnesium ion; whereas hemoglobin has iron
in the same place.
The action of chlorophyll is so important, that two Nobel prizes
were awarded for research on the compound.
Chlorophyll’s health properties were observed as early as 1950, when Offen
Krantz reported the healing of long standing peptic ulcers after the
application of chlorophyll.
The benefits of chlorophyll fall into three main categories, purifying,
anti-inflammatory, and nourishing.
Purifying: Chlorophyll has an anti-bacterial effect on
wounds, and an anti-yeast effect in the digestive tract. It appears to counteract
many toxins in the body.
Inflammation: It has the effect of reducing inflammation. Thus it can be
used to help counteract the effects of arthritis, stomach ulcers, colitis, sore
throats, and other inflammatory conditions.
Nourishing: It builds blood - after all, it is almost identical to
hemoglobin; it helps promote intestinal flora, and assists Liver
cleansing.
The benefits of wheatgrass juice could possibly be rhetorically summarized by
Ben Franklin’s quote of "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure".
So, as you read this article, optimistically you will start to see that
wheatgrass isn’t all bad. The properties of wheatgrass juice, combined with a
sensible diet and exercise, can be advantageous in the improvement of your
health, along with the prevention of illness.
Wheatgrass is the young wheat plant. It is one of the most widely used
supplemental health foods today. It is a concentrated source of vitamins,
minerals, chlorophyll, and enzymes.
Drinking fresh wheatgrass juice is an exceptional way to increase dark green
leafy vegetables in the diet. (At this early stage of the plant's life it is
considered a vegetable rather than a grain and is safe for gluten-sensitive
individuals.)
Fifteen pounds of wheatgrass is equivalent to 350 pounds of choice vegetables!
Juicing unlocks the nutrients in vegetables and fruits, concentrating them and
making them more bioavailable to the cells of the body.
A 16 x16 tray of wheatgrass yields about 15 to 22 ounces of juice, depending on
its length. Tablets and powder are a good second choice to fresh wheatgrass
juice.
Ann Wigmore introduced wheatgrass juice to America more than thirty years ago.
In her books, Wigmore says it is an ideal food to nourish the body and rid it
of toxins. It is especially important to anyone who suffers from pain or
illness.
The high chlorophyll content of wheatgrass acts as a
"magnet" in drawing out toxins from the body. Chlorophyll is an
internal deodorant, which cleanses tissues and is soothing and healing.
Chlorophyll, the "blood of plants", is very similar to our own blood.
Its molecular structure closely resembles hemin, the pigment that combines with
protein to form hemoglobin.
Start with just one ounce of wheatgrass juice per day. A therapeutic
program may include as much as two or three ounces.
Wheatgrass juice has many other benefits. It can be used externally as:
1. A scalp treatment for lusterless hair;
2. A cleanser and astringent for all types of skin;
3. A treatment for blocked sinuses (place several drops in each
nostril);
4. A stimulant for circulation (add a few ounces to bath water of rub into the
skin);
5. A treatment to help heal cuts and bruises faster.
Wheatgrass is widely acknowledged as one of nature’s existing super foods. When grown in
organic soil wheatgrass retains 82 out of the 92 minerals that are present in
soil and 1oz of wheatgrass juice is said to contain the same amount of
nutrients as 2.5 lbs of green vegetables. The following wheatgrass information will inform you
of the various reasons why people swear by wheatgrass.
Wheatgrass:
·
is grown from the Red Wheatberry, which is a special strain that
contains high concentrations of chlorophyll, amino acids, enzymes, minerals and
vitamins.
·
must be juiced to obtain the maximum nutritional value from it. In its
non-juiced form wheatgrass is non-digestible due to the high levels of
cellulose and its fibrous nature.
·
juice makes all the high levels of nutrients the wheatgrass contains
available for digestion.
·
can be bought in health food shops or it can be grown at home.
Wheatgrass kits are available which enable you to grow your own wheatgrass
which can be more economical than buying it from a shop.
·
should be cut when it reaches around 7 to 8 inches as this is when it
reaches its nutritional peak.
The
taste of wheatgrass juice may seem a little strange to some and you may prefer
to make juice from a combination of wheatgrass and other fruit / vegetables.
Because of the strong taste and high nutrient content many people start off
drinking around an ounce of wheatgrass juice a day (with/without other juices)
and then gradually increase the amount to around 4oz of wheatgrass juice a day.
One handful of wheatgrass will produce approximately an ounce of juice.
Another great feature of wheatgrass is that it is gluten-free (despite having
wheat in its name) and so is suitable for anyone who has a gluten intolerance.
