3月2日 Diabetes DeceptionOur Deadly Diabetes Deception
by Thomas Smith Diabetes introduction If you are an American diabetic, your physician will never tell you that most diabetes is curable. In fact, if you even mention the cure word around him, he will likely become upset and irrational. His medical school training only allows him to respond to the word treatment. For him, the cure word does not exist. Diabetes, in its modern epidemic form, is a curable disease and has been for at least 40 years. In 2001, the most recent year for which figures US figures are posted, 934,550 Americans died from out of control symptoms of this disease.[1] Your physician will also never tell you that at one time strokes, both ischemic and hemorrhagic, heart failure due to neuropathy as well as both ischemic and hemorrhagic coronary events, obesity, atherosclerosis, elevated blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, impotence, retinopathy, renal failure, liver failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, elevated blood sugar, systemic candida, impaired carbohydrate metabolism, poor wound healing, impaired fat metabolism, peripheral neuropathy as well as many more of today’s disgraceful epidemic disorders were once well understood to often be but symptoms of diabetes. If you contract diabetes and depend upon orthodox medical treatment, sooner or later you will experience one or more of its symptoms as the disease rapidly worsens. It is now common practice to refer to these symptoms as if they were separable independent diseases with separate unrelated proprietary treatments provided by competing medical specialists. It is true that many of these symptoms can and sometimes do result from other causes; however, it is also true that this fact has been used to disguise the causative role of diabetes and to justify expensive, ineffective treatments for these symptoms. Epidemic Type II Diabetes is curable. By the time you get to the end of this article you are going to know that. You’re going to know why it isn’t routinely being cured. And, you’re going to know how to cure it. You are also probably going to be angry at what a handful of greedy people have surreptitiously done to the entire orthodox medical community and to its trusting patients. The diabetes industry Today’s diabetes industry is a massive community that has grown step by step from its dubious origins in the early twentieth century. In the last eighty years it has become enormously successful at shutting out competitive voices that attempt to point out the fraud involved in modern diabetes treatment. It has matured into a religion. And, like all religions, it depends heavily upon the faith of the believer. So successful has it become that it verges on blasphemy to suggest that, in most cases, the kindly high priest with the stethoscope draped prominently around his neck is a charlatan and a fraud. In the large majority of cases he has never cured a single case of diabetes in his entire medical career. The financial and political influence of this medical community has almost totally subverted the original intent of our regulatory agencies. They routinely approve death dealing ineffective drugs with insufficient testing. Former commissioner of the FDA, Dr. Herbert Ley, in testimony before a US Senate hearing, commented “People think the FDA is protecting them. It isn’t. What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it’s doing are as different as night and day.”[2] The financial and political influence of this medical community dominates our entire medical insurance industry. Although this is beginning to change, in America, it is still difficult to find employer group medical insurance to cover effective alternative medical treatments. Orthodox coverage is standard in all states. Alternative medicine is not. For example there are only 1400 licensed naturopaths in 11 states compared to over 3.4 million orthodox licensees in 50 states.[3] Generally, only approved treatments from licensed credentialed practitioners are insurable. This, in effect, neatly creates a special kind of money that can only be spent within the orthodox medical and drug industry. No other industry in the world has been able to manage the politics of convincing people to accept so large a part of their pay in a form that does not allow them to spend it on health care as they see fit. Insurance money can only be spent within an industry that has banned the cure word from its vocabulary. The financial and political influence of this medical community completely controls virtually every diabetes publication in the country. Many diabetes publications are subsidized by ads for diabetes supplies. No diabetes editor is going to allow the truth to be printed in his magazine. This is why the diabetic only pays about 1/4 to 1/3 of the cost of printing the magazine he depends upon for accurate information. The rest is subsidized by ads purchased by diabetes manufacturers with a vested commercial interest in preventing diabetics from curing their diabetes. When looking for a magazine that tells the truth about diabetes, look first to see if it is full of ads for diabetes supplies. And then there are the various associations that solicit annual donations to find a cure for their proprietary disease. Every year they promise a cure is just around the corner; just send more money. Some of these very same associations have been clearly implicated in providing advice that promotes the progress of diabetes in their trusting supporters. For example, for years they heavily promoted exchange diets [4] which are in fact scientifically worthless, as anyone who has ever tried to use them quickly finds out. They have ridiculed the use of glycemic tables which are actually very helpful to the diabetic. They promoted the use of margarine as heart healthy long after it was well understood that margarine causes diabetes and promotes heart failure. [5] Why everyone expects that these tax free associations will really self destruct by eliminating their proprietary disease and thereby destroy their only source of income is truly amazing. If people ever wake up to the cure for diabetes that has been suppressed for forty years, these associations will soon be out of business. But until then, they nonetheless continue to need our support. For forty years medical research has consistently shown, with increasing clarity, that type II diabetes is a degenerative disease directly caused by an engineered food supply that is focused on profit instead of health. Although the diligent can readily glean this information from a wealth of medical research literature, it is generally otherwise unavailable. Certainly this information has been, and remains, largely unavailable in the medical schools that train our retail doctors. Prominent among the causative agents in our modern diabetes epidemic are the engineered fats and oils sold in today’s supermarkets.
The first step to curing diabetes is to stop believing the lie that the disease is incurable. Diabetes history In 1922, three Canadian Nobel prize winners, Banting, Best and Macleod were successful in saving the life of a fourteen year old diabetic girl in Toronto General Hospital with injectable insulin. [6] Eli Lilly was licensed to manufacture this new wonder drug and the medical community basked in the glory of a job well done. It wasn't until 1933 that rumors about a new rogue diabetes surfaced. This was in a paper presented by Joslyn, Dublin and Marks and printed in the American Journal of Medical Sciences. This paper "Studies on Diabetes Mellitus" [7], discussed the emergence of a major US epidemic of a disease which looked very much like the diabetes of the early 1920's only it did not respond to the wonder drug, insulin. Even worse, sometimes insulin treatment killed the patient. This new disease became known as Insulin Resistant Diabetes because it had the elevated blood sugar symptom of diabetes, but responded poorly to insulin therapy. Many physicians had considerable success in treatment of this disease by diet. A great deal was learned about the relationship between diet and diabetes in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Diabetes, which had a per capita incidence of 0.0028% at the turn of the century, had by 1933, zoomed 1000% in the US to become a disease faced by many doctors [8]. This disease, under a variety of aliases, was destined to go on to wreck the health of over half of the American population and to incapacitate almost 20% by the 1990's. [9] In 1950 the medical community became able to perform serum insulin assays. This quickly revealed that the disease wasn't classical diabetes. This new disease was characterized by sufficient, often excessive, blood insulin levels. The problem was that the insulin was ineffective; it did not reduce blood sugar. But, since the disease had been known as diabetes for almost twenty years it was renamed Type II Diabetes. This was to distinguish it from the earlier Type 1 Diabetes which was due to insufficient insulin production by the pancreas. Had the dietary insights of the previous 20 years dominated the medical scene from this point and into the late 1960’s, diabetes would have become widely recognized as curable instead of merely treatable. Unfortunately this didn’t happen and so, in 1950, a search was launched for another wonder drug to deal with the Type II Diabetes problem. Cure vs treatment This new ideal wonder drug would be, like insulin, effective in remitting obvious adverse symptoms of the disease, but not effective in curing the underlying disease. Thus, it would be needed continually for the remaining life of the patient. It would have to be patentable; that is, it could not be a natural medication because these are non-patentable. Like insulin, it would be highly profitable to manufacture and distribute. Mandatory government approvals would be required to stimulate the use by physicians as a prescription drug. Testing required for these approvals would have to be enormously expensive to prevent other, unapproved, medications from becoming competitive. This is the origin of the classic medical protocol of “treating the symptoms”. By doing this, both the drug company and the doctor could prosper in business and the patient, while not being cured of his disease, was sometimes temporarily relieved of some of his symptoms. Additionally, natural medications that actually cured disease, would have to be suppressed. The more effective they were, the more they would need to be suppressed and their proponents jailed as quacks. After all, it wouldn’t do to have some cheap effective natural medication cure disease in a capital intensive monopoly market specifically designed to treat symptoms without curing disease. Often the natural substance really did cure disease. This is why the force of law was used to drive the natural, often superior, medicines from the market place, to remove the cure word from the medical vocabulary and to totally undermine the very concept of a free marketplace in the medical business. Now it is clear why the cure word is so vigorously suppressed by law. The FDA has extensive Orwellian regulations that prohibit the use of the cure word to describe any competing medicine or natural substance. It is precisely because many natural substances do actually both cure and prevent disease that this word has become so frightening to the drug and orthodox medical community. The commercial value of symptoms After this redesign of drug development policy to focus on ameliorating symptoms rather than curing disease, it became necessary to reinvent the way drugs were marketed. This was done in 1949 in the midst of a major epidemic of insulin resistant diabetes. In 1949, the US medical community reclassified the symptoms of diabetes, [10] along with many other disease symptoms, into diseases in their own right. With this reclassification as the new basis for diagnosis, competing medical specialty groups quickly seized upon related groups of symptoms as their own proprietary symptom set. Thus the heart specialist, endocrinologist, allergist, kidney specialist, and many others started to treat the symptoms for which they felt responsible. As the underlying cause of the disease was widely ignored, all focus on actually curing anything was completely lost. By this new focus on treating symptoms, instead of curing disease, disease was now allowed to run rampant without any effective check on its progress. While not a very smart idea from the patients viewpoint, it did succeed in making the American medical community amongst the wealthiest in the world because of the continuing high volume of repeat business that it promoted Heart failure for example, which had previously been understood to often be but a symptom of diabetes, now became a disease not directly connected to diabetes. It became fashionable to think that diabetes "increased cardio-vascular risk.” The causal role of a failed blood sugar control system in heart failure became obscured. Consistent with the new medical paradigm, none of the treatments offered by the heart specialist actually cures, or is even intended to cure, their proprietary disease. For example, the three year survival rate for bypass surgery is almost exactly the same as if no surgery was undertaken. [11] Today over half of the people in America suffer from one or more symptoms of this disease. In its beginnings, it has become well known to physicians as Type II Diabetes, Insulin Resistant Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, Adult Onset Diabetes, or more rarely Hyperinsulinemia. According to the American Heart Association, almost 50% of Americans suffer from one or more symptoms of this disease. One third of our population is morbidly obese. Half of our population is overweight. Type II Diabetes, also called Adult Onset Diabetes, now appears routinely in six year old children Many of our degenerative diseases can be traced to a massive failure of our endocrine system that was well known to the physicians of the 1930’s as Insulin Resistant Diabetes. This basic underlying disorder is known to be a derangement of the blood sugar control system by badly engineered fats and oils. It is exacerbated and complicated by the widespread lack of other essential nutrition that the body needs to cope with the metabolic consequences of these poisons. All fats and oils are not equal. Some are healthy and beneficial; many, commonly available in the supermarket, are poisonous. The health distinction is not between saturated and unsaturated, as the fats and oils industry would have us believe. Many saturated oils and fats are highly beneficial; many unsaturated oils are highly poisonous. The important health distinction is between natural and engineered. There exists great dishonesty in advertising in the fats and oils industry. It is aimed at creating a market for cheap junk oils such as soy, cottonseed and rape seed oil. With an informed and aware public these oils would have no market at all and the US, and indeed the world, would have far less diabetes. Epidemiological Life style link As early as 1901, efforts had been made to manufacture and sell food products by the use of automated factory machinery because of the immense potential profits that were possible. Most of the early efforts failed because people were inherently suspicious of food that wasn't farm fresh and because the technology was poor. As long as people were prosperous, suspicious food products made little headway. Crisco, [12] the artificial shortening, was once given away free in 2 1/2 lb cans in an unsuccessful effort to influence the US wives to trust and buy the product in preference to lard. Margarine was introduced and was bitterly opposed by the dairy states. With the advent of the depression of the 1930’s, margarine, Crisco and a host of other refined and hydrogenated products began to make significant penetration into the US food markets. Support for dairy opposition to margarine faded during WW II because there wasn't enough butter for both the civilian population and the needs of the military. [13] At this point, the dairy industry having lost much support, simply accepted a diluted market share and concentrated on supplying the military. Flax oils and fish oils, which were common in the stores and considered a dietary staple before the American population became diseased, have disappeared from the shelf. The last supplier of flax oil to the major distribution chains was Archer Daniel’s Midland and they stopped producing and supplying the product in 1950. More recently, one of the most important of the remaining genuinely beneficial fats was subjected to a massive media disinformation campaign that portrayed it as a saturated fat that causes heart failure. As a result, it has virtually disappeared from the supermarket shelves. Thus was coconut oil removed from the food chain and replaced with soy oil, cottonseed oil and rape seed oil. [14] Our parents would never have swapped a fine healthy oil like coconut oil for these cheap junk oils. It was shortly after this successful media blitz that the US populace lost its war on fat. For many years coconut oil had been one of our most effective dietary weight control agents. The history of the engineered adulteration of our once clean food supply exactly parallels the rise of the epidemic of diabetes and hyperinsulinemia now sweeping the US as well as much of the rest of the world. The second step to a cure for this disease epidemic is to stop believing the lie that our food supply is safe and nutritious. Nature of the disease Diabetes is classically diagnosed as a failure of the body to properly metabolize carbohydrates. Its defining symptom is a high blood glucose level. Type 1 Diabetes results from insufficient insulin production by the pancreas. Type 2 Diabetes results from ineffective insulin. In both types, the blood glucose level remains elevated. Neither insufficient insulin nor ineffective insulin can limit post prandial (after eating) blood sugar to the normal range. In established cases of Type 2 Diabetes, these elevated blood sugar levels are often preceded by and accompanied by chronically elevated insulin levels and by serious distortions of other endocrine hormonal markers. The ineffective insulin is no different from effective insulin. Its ineffectiveness lies in the failure of our cell population to respond to it. It is not the result of any biochemical defect in the insulin itself. Therefore, it is appropriate to note that this disease is a disease that affects almost every cell in the seventy trillion or so cells of our body. All of these cells are dependent upon the food that we eat for the raw materials that they need for self repair and maintenence. The classification of diabetes as a failure to metabolize carbohydrates is a traditional classification that originated in the early 19th century when little was known about metabolic diseases or about metabolic processes. [15] Today, with our increased knowledge of metabolic processes, it would appear quite appropriate to define Type 2 Diabetes more fundamentally as a failure of the body to properly metabolize fats and oils. This failure results in a loss of effectiveness of insulin and in the consequent failure to metabolize carbohydrates. Unfortunately, much medical insight into this matter, except at the research level, remains hampered by its 19th century legacy. Thus Type II Diabetes and its early hyperinsulinemic symptoms are whole body symptoms of this basic cellular failure to properly metabolize glucose. Each cell of our body, for reasons which are becoming clearer, find themselves unable to transport glucose from the blood stream to their interior. The glucose then either remains in the blood stream, is stored as body fat or as glycogen, or is otherwise disposed of in urine. It appears that when insulin binds to a cell membrane receptor, it initiates a complex cascade of biochemical reactions inside the cell. This causes a class of glucose transporters known as GLUT 4 molecules to leave their parking area inside the cell and travel to the inside surface of the plasma cell membrane. When in the membrane, they migrate to special areas of the membrane called caveolae areas. [16] There, by another series of biochemical reactions, they identify and hook up with glucose molecules and transport them into the interior of the cell by a process called endocytosis. Within the cells interior, this glucose is then burned as fuel by the mitochondria to produce energy to power cellular activity. Thus these GLUT 4 transporters lower glucose in the blood stream by transporting it out of the bloodstream into all of our bodily cells. Many of the molecules involved in these glucose and insulin mediated pathways are lipids, that is they are fatty acids. A healthy plasma cell membrane, now known to be an active player in the glucose scenario, contains a complement of cis type w=3 unsaturated fatty acids. [17] This makes the membrane relatively fluid and slippery. When these cis fatty acids are chronically unavailable because of our diet, trans fatty acids and short and medium chain saturated fatty acids are substituted in the cell membrane. These substitutions make the cellular membrane stiffer and more sticky and inhibit the glucose transport mechanism. [18] Thus, in the absence of sufficient cis omega 3 fatty acids in our diet, these fatty acid substitutions take place, the mobility of the GLUT 4 transporters is diminished, the interior biochemistry of the cell is changed and glucose remains elevated in the bloodstream. Elsewhere in the body, the pancreas secretes excess insulin, the liver manufactures fat from the excess sugar, the adipose cells store excess fat, the body goes into a high urinary mode, insufficient cellular energy is available for bodily activity and the entire endocrine system becomes distorted. Eventually pancreatic failure occurs, body weight plummets and a diabetic crisis is precipitated. Although there remains much work to be done to fully elucidate all of the steps in all of these pathways, this clearly marks the beginning of a biochemical explanation for the known epidemiological relationship between cheap engineered dietary fats and oils and the onset of Type 2 Diabetes. Orthodox medical treatment After the diagnosis of diabetes, modern orthodox medical treatment consists of either oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin. In 1955, oral hypoglycemic drugs were introduced. Currently available oral hypoglycemic agents fall into five classifications according to their biophysical mode of action. [19] These classes are: Biguanides Glucosidase inhibitors Meglitinides Sulfonylureas Thiazolidinediones The biguanides lower blood sugar in three ways. They inhibit the normal release, by the liver, of its glucose stores, they interfere with intestinal absorption of glucose from ingested carbohydrates and they are said to increase peripheral uptake of glucose. The glucosidase inhibitors are designed to inhibit the amylase enzymes produced by our pancreas and which are essential to the digestion of carbohydrates. The theory is that if the digestion of carbohydrates is inhibited the blood sugar cannot be elevated. The meglitinides are designed to stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin in a patient that likely already has an elevated level of insulin in their bloodstream. Only rarely does the doctor even measure insulin levels. This drug is frequently prescribed without any knowledge of preexisting insulin levels. The fact that elevated insulin levels are almost as damaging as elevated glucose levels is widely ignored. The sulfonylureas are another pancreatic stimulant class designed to stimulate the production of insulin. Serum insulin determinations are rarely made by the doctor before prescribing this drug. This drug is often prescribed for type II diabetics, many of whom already have elevated ineffective insulin. These drugs are notorious for causing hypoglycemia as a side effect. The thiazolidinediones are famous for causing liver cancer. One of them, Rezulin, was approved in the USA through devious political infighting but failed to get approval in England because it was known to cause liver cancer. The first doctor that had responsibility to approve it at the FDA refused to do so. It was only after he was replaced by a more compliant official that Rezulin gained approval by the FDA. It went on to kill well over 100 diabetes patients and cripple many others before the fight to get it off the market was finally won. Rezulin was designed to stimulate the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream by the peripheral cells and to inhibit the normal secretion of glucose by the liver. The politics of why this drug ever came to market and then remained in the market for such an unexplainable length of time with regulatory agency approval is not clear. [20] As of April 2000 law suits commenced to clarify this situation [21] Today insulin is prescribed for both the Type I and Type II diabetics. Injectable insulin substitutes for the insulin that the body no longer produces. Of course, this treatment, while necessary to preserving life for the Type I diabetic, is highly questionable when applied to the Type II diabetic. It is important to note that neither insulin nor any of these oral hypoglycemic agents exert any curative action whatsoever on any type of diabetes. None of these medical strategies are designed to normalize the cellular uptake of glucose by the cells that need it to power their activity. The prognosis with this orthodox treatment is increasing disability and early death from heart or kidney failure or the failure of some other vital organ. The third step to a cure for this disease is to become informed and to apply an alternative methodology that is soundly based upon good science. Alternative medical treatment Effective alternative treatment that directly leads to a cure is available today for some Type I and for many Type II diabetics. About 5% of the diabetic population suffers from Type I diabetes; the remaining 95% suffer from Type II diabetes.[22] Gestational diabetes is simply ordinary diabetes contracted by a woman who is pregnant. For the Type I diabetic an alternative methodology for the treatment of Type I Diabetes was the subject of intensive research in the early 1990’s with several papers presented in the scientific journals. This was done in modern hospitals in Madras, India and subjected to rigorous double-blind studies to prove its efficacy.[23] The protocol operated to restore normal pancreatic beta cell function so the pancreas could again produce insulin as it should. This approach was, apparently, demonstrated to be capable of restoring pancreatic beta cell function where it had been lost. A major complication lies in whether the antigens that originally led to the autoimmune destruction of these beta cells have disappeared from or remain in the body. If they remain, a cure is less likely; if they have disappeared, the cure is more likely. This early work in Madras India has been continued in a number of laboratories throughout the world and much of it has been published in scientific journals If a patent search is conducted to discover research work done on type I diabetes that never seems to make it to the marketplace, a number of patents on herbal remedies will be found. These patents typically make strong claims about the regeneration of pancreatic beta cells and the restoring of them to normal function. In particular, patent number 5,886,029 entitled “Method and composition for treatment of diabetes” claims to restore pancreatic beta cell function by regenerating the pancreatic beta cells. This particular patent states in part: The unique combination of components in the medicinal composition leads to a regeneration of the pancreas cells which then start producing insulin on their own. Since the composition restores normal pancreatic function, treatment can be discontinued after between four and twelve months. For reasons which, while understandable, are not at all acceptable, this promising line of research never matured and today can be found only in the archives of a few obscure scientific journals and in the patent office. Since absolutely no financial incentive exists to cure type I diabetes, this methodology is not likely to reappear any time soon and certainly not in the American orthodox medical community. The goal of any effective alternative program is to repair and restore the body’s own blood sugar control mechanism. It is the malfunctioning of this mechanism that, over time, directly causes all of the many debilitating symptoms that make orthodox treatment so financially rewarding for the diabetes industry. For Type II Diabetes, the steps in the program are: [24] Repair the faulty blood sugar control system. This is done simply by substituting clean healthy beneficial fats and oils in the diet for the pristine looking but toxic trans-isomer mix found in attractive plastic containers on room temperature supermarket shelves. Consume only flax oil, fish oil and occasionally cod liver oil until blood sugar starts to stabilize. Then add back healthy oils such as butter, coconut oil, olive oil and clean animal fat. Read labels; refuse to consume cheap junk oils when they appear in processed food or on restaurant menus. Diabetics are chronically short of vitamins and minerals; they need to add a good quality broad spectrum supplement to the diet. Control blood sugar manually during the recovery cycle. Under medical supervision, gradually discontinue all oral hypoglycemic agents along with any additional drugs given to counteract their side effects. Develop natural blood sugar control by the use of glycaemic tables, by consuming frequent small meals, by the use of fiber, by regular post prandial exercise, and by a complete avoidance of all sugars along with the judicious use of only non-toxic sweeteners [25]. Avoid alcohol until blood sugar stabilizes in the normal range. Avoid caffeine as well as other stimulants; they tend to trigger sugar release by the liver. Keep score by using a pin prick type glucose meter. Keep track of everything you do with a medical diary. Restore a proper balance of healthy fats and oils when the blood sugar controller again works Permanently remove from the diet all cheap toxic junk fats and oils and the processed and restaurant foods that contain them. When the blood sugar controller again starts to work correctly, gradually introduce additional healthy foods to the diet. Test the effect of these added foods by monitoring blood sugar levels with the pin prick type blood sugar monitor. Be sure to include the results of these tests in your diary also. Continue the program until normal insulin values are also restored after blood sugar levels begin to stabilize in the normal region. Once blood sugar levels fall into the normal range the pancreas will gradually stop over producing insulin. This process will typically take a little longer and can be tested by having your physician send a sample of your blood to a lab for a serum insulin determination. A good idea is to wait a couple of months after blood sugar control is restored and then have your physician check your insulin level. It’s nice to have blood sugar in the normal range; it’s even nicer to have this accomplished without excess insulin in the bloodstream. Separately repair the collateral damage done by the disease. Vascular problems caused by a chronically elevated glucose level will normally reverse themselves without conscious effort. The effects of retinopathy and of peripheral neuropathy, for example, will usually self repair. However when the fine capillaries in the basement membranes of the kidneys begin to leak due to chronic high blood glucose, the kidneys compensate by laying down scar tissue to prevent the leakage. This scar tissue remains even after the diabetes is cured and is the reason why the kidney damage is not believed to self repair. A word of warning: when retinopathy develops a temptation will exist to have the damage repaired by laser surgery. This laser technique stops the retinal bleeding by creating scar tissue where the leaks have developed. This scar tissue will prevent normal healing of the fine capillaries in the eye when the diabetes is reversed. By reversing the diabetes instead of opting for laser surgery, there is an excellent chance that the eye will heal completely. However if laser surgery is done, this healing will always be complicated by the scar tissue left by the laser. The arterial and vascular damage done by years of elevated sugar and insulin and by the proliferation of systemic candida will slowly reverse due to improved diet. However, it takes many years to clean out the arteries by this form of oral chelation. Arterial damage can be reversed much more quickly by using intravenous chelation [26] therapy. What would normally take many years through diet alone, can often be done in six months with intravenous therapy. This is reputed to be effective over 80% of the time. For obvious reasons, don’t expect your doctor to approve of this, particularly if he is a heart specialist. The prognosis is usually swift recovery from the disease and restoration of normal health and energy levels in a few months to a year or more. The length of time that it takes to effect a cure depends upon how long the disease was allowed to develop. For those who quickly work to reverse the disease after early discovery, the time is usually a few months or less. For those who have had the disease for many years, this recovery time may lengthen to a year or more. Thus, there is good reason to get busy reversing this disease as soon as it becomes clearly identified. By the time you get to this point in this article, and, if we’ve done a good job of explaining our diabetes epidemic, you should know what causes it, what orthodox medical treatment is all about and why diabetes has become a disgrace both in the US and world wide. Of even greater importance, you have become acquainted with a self help program that has demonstrated great potential to actually cure this disease. 1 “Fast Stats” National Center for Health Statistics”, Deaths/Mortality Preliminary 2001 data 2 In response to a question from Senator Edward Long about the FDA during US Senate hearings in 1965. 3 David M.

Several years ago, I had a man seeking asparagus for a friend who had cancer. He gave me a photocopied copy of an article, entitled, `Asparagus for cancer' printed in Cancer News Journal, December 1979. I will share it here, just as it was shared with me: 'I am a biochemist, and have specialized in the relation of diet to health for over 50 years. Several years ago, I learned of the discovery of Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S. that asparagus might cure cancer. Since then, I have worked with him on his project. We have accumulated a number of favorable case histories. Here are a few examples: Case No. 1: A man with an almost hopeless case of Hodgkin's disease (cancer of the lymph glands) who was completely incapacitated. Within 1 year of starting the asparagus therapy, his doctors were unable to detect any signs of cancer, and he was back on a schedule of strenuous exercise. Case No. 2: A successful businessman 68 years old who suffered from cancer of the bladder for 16 years. After years of medical treatments, including radiation without improvement, he went on asparagus. Within 3 months, examinations revealed that his bladder tumor had disappeared and that his kidneys were normal. Case No. 3: a man who had lung cancer. On March 5th 1971, he was put on the operating table where they found lung cancer so widely spread that it was inoperable. The surgeon sewed him up and declared his case hopeless. On April 5th he heard about the asparagus therapy and immediately started taking it. By August, x-ray pictures revealed that all signs of the cancer had disappeared. He is back at his regular business routine. Case No. 4: A woman who was troubled for a number of years with skin cancer. She finally developed different skin cancers which were diagnosed by asking specialist as advanced. Within 3 months after starting on asparagus, her skin specialist said that her skin looked fine and no more skin lesions. This woman reported that the asparagus therapy also cured her kidney disease, which started in 1949. She had over 10 operations for kidney stones, and was receiving government disability payments for an inoperable, terminal, kidney condition. She attributes the cure of this kidney trouble entirely to the asparagus. I was not surprised at this result, as `The elements of Materia Medica', edited in 1854 by a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and stated that asparagus was used as a popular remedy for kidney stones. He even referred to experiments, in 1739, on the power of asparagus in dissolving stones. We would have other case histories but the medical establishment has interfered with our=2 0obtaining some of the records. I am therefore appealing to readers to spread this good news and help us to gather a large number of case histories that will overwhelm the medical skeptics about this unbelievably simple and natural remedy. For the treatment, asparagus should be cooked before using, and therefore canned asparagus is just as good as fresh. I have corresponded with the two leading canners of asparagus, Giant and Stokely, and I am satisfied that these brands contain no pesticides or preservatives. PROCEDURE: 1) Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to make a puree, and store in the refrigerator. 2) Give the patient 4 full tablespoons twice daily, morning and evening. Patients usually show some improvement in from 2-4 weeks. It can be diluted with water and used as a cold or hot drink. This suggested dosage is based on present experience, but certainly larger amounts can do no harm and may be needed in some cases. As a biochemist I am convinced of the old saying that `what cures can prevent'. Based on this theory, my wife and I have been using asparagus puree as a beverage with our meals. We take 2 tablespoons diluted in water to suit our taste with breakfast and with dinner. I take mine hot and my wife prefers hers cold. For years we have made it a practice to have blood surveys taken as part of our regular checkups. The last blood survey, taken by a=2 0medical doctor who specializes in the nutritional approach to health, showed substantial improvements in all categories over the last one, and we can attribute these improvements to nothing but the asparagus drink... As a biochemist, I have made an extensive study of all aspects of cancer, and all of the proposed cures. As a result, I am convinced that asparagus fits in better with the latest theories about cancer. Asparagus contains a good supply of protein called histones, which are believed to be active in controlling cell growth. For that reason, I believe asparagus can be said to contain a substance that I call cell growth normalizer. That accounts for its action on cancer and enacting as a general body tonic. In any event, regardless of theory, asparagus used as we suggest, is a harmless substance. The FDA cannot prevent you from using it and it may do you much good.. It has been reported by the US National Cancer Institute, that asparagus is the highest tested food containing glutathione, which is considered one of the body's most potent anticarcinogens and antioxidants. Please spread the news... ....the most unselfish act one can ever do is sharing: forward all the kindness one has received even to the most undeserving person.
Enjoy ;-)

Graviola leaves and cancerTaken from the Graviola Leaves website take a look GRAVIOLA LEAVES Graviola is very aggressive at breaking up tumors. It appears that, as with many health problems, the body (in its wisdom) is trying to protect itself by creating a tumor to encase the toxins that can harm the body. Breaking up the tumor releases toxins back into the body, making the person feel very sick. When tumors are surgically removed, this also takes out the toxins which why this is the most effective medical treatment for cancer.
Graviola has been known to kill intestinal parasites, calm nerves, reduce blood pressure and help arthritis, heart and liver. Money does not grow on trees but the cure for cancer does. I saw on a website about how cats claw helps with cancer but that is in the Gravizon product along with other Amazon herbs that help with cancer like pau d'arco (taheebo) and dragons blood (sangre de drago).

1月30日 B17 - Laetrile - cancerRead this article on cancer and B17 - laetrile _http://www.thecrowh ouse.com/ cncr.html_ (http://www.thecrowh ouse.com/ cncr.html) B17 - Laetrile Unbeknownst to a great many people, all Cancers can be cured with vitamin B17, also known as laetrile, and no, this is not a joke or some wild claim folks, it is a bona fide fact. This cure is quite real but doctors have gag orders placed on them. Any Doctor who uses laetrile to treat Cancer can be fined, lose his practicioners licence or even be jailed, as has already been the case on at least one occasion. However, I am not a doctor and I dont have a practicioners licence to be revoked so I will tell you right now in very simple terms how cancer may be cured. If you have cancer right now you need to go and buy some apricots and get the seeds from them. Break open the seeds to get to the kernel inside. Crush 3 apricot kernels with a mortar and pessle then make a tossed salad using the crushed kernels and a handful of mung bean sprouts. All you need is the kernels and the mung beans, but the kernels are a little bitter to the taste so its more palatable in a small salad. With the salad take one vitamin A capsule, this must be done at the same time. So what you end up doing is making a salad with sprouts and crushed apricot seeds and having a Vitimim A cap with it. And thats it! Do this every day for 6 weeks then go on to 1 apricot seed crushed, same method, at least once a week for 3 weeks and you should be fine. The active ingredients are the laetrile and the mung beans which act as the catalyst, The vitamin A capsule is to dispel any stomache cramps that may occur. Why the cramps? Apricot seeds, similar to apple seeds, also contain trace amounts of cyanide which the Vitamin A nutralises. Trace amounts of cyanide is no big deal, as stated, its in apple seeds and the body washes it from the system very rapidly. Trace amounts of cyanide and a slight stomache discomfort for a short period is certainly preferrable to terminal cancer. Thats it folks. And as I said before, this is not some wild claim. Its a genuine cure that works. I have a freind who has cured herself of cervical cancer and another friend who has cured himself of stomache cancer using this method. Both were diagnosed as terminal. I have also recently cured myself of throat cancer. And if u dont believe me, Google B17, laetrile or Apricot Seeds. The results will astound you.. As amazing and as real as this cure is, the disturbing part about it is that it is quite known by the medical profession, but gag orders keep the properties and public knowledge of B17 hidden. Medical companies make literally billions from cancer every year and they very much wish to keep doing so. You will find that apricot seeds are also banned in most countries. Ask yourself why that is so? Fresh Lemon Grass Drink Causes Apoptosis to Cancer Cells (apoptosis) noun: a type of cell death in which the cell uses specialized cellular machinery to kill itself; a cell suicide mechanism that enables metazoans to control cell number and eliminate cells that threaten the animal's survival. ************ ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* *** Fresh lemon grass fields in Israel become Mecca for cancer patients By Allison Kaplan Sommer April 02, 2006 A drink with as little as one gram of lemon grass contains enough citral to prompt cancer cells to commit suicide in the test tube. Israeli researchers find way to make cancer cells self-destruct -Ben Gurion University At first, Benny Zabidov, an Israeli agriculturalist who grows greenhouses full of lush spices on a pastoral farm in Kfar Yedidya in the Sharon region, couldn't understand why so many cancer patients from around the country were showing up on his doorstep asking for fresh lemon grass. It turned out that their doctors had sent them. 'They had been told to drink eight glasses of hot water with fresh lemon grass steeped in it on the days that they went for their radiation and chemotherapy treatments,' Zabidov told ISRAEL21c. 'And this is the place you go to in Israel for fresh lemon grass.' It all began when researchers at Ben Gurion University of the Negev discovered last year that the lemon aroma in herbs like lemon grass kills cancer cells in vitro, while leaving healthy cells unharmed. The research team was led by Dr. Rivka Ofir and Prof. Yakov Weinstein, incumbent of the Albert Katz Chair in Cell-Differentiatio n and Malignant Diseases, from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at BGU. Citral is the key component that gives the lemony aroma and taste in several herbal plants such as lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), melissa (Melissa officinalis) and verbena (Verbena officinalis. ) According to Ofir, the study found that citral causes cancer cells to 'commit suicide: using apoptosis, a mechanism called programmed cell death.' A drink with as little as one gram of lemon grass contains enough citral to prompt the cancer cells to commit suicide in the test tube. The BGU investigators checked the influence of the citral on cancerous cells by adding them to both cancerous cells and normal cells that were grown in a petri dish. The quantity added in the concentrate was equivalent to the amount contained in a cup of regular tea using one gram of lemon herbs in hot water. While the citral killed the cancerous cells, the normal cells remained unharmed. The findings were published in the scientific journal Planta Medica, which highlights research on alternative and herbal remedies. Shortly afterwards, the discovery was featured in the popular Israeli press. Why does it work? Nobody knows for certain, but the BGU scientists have a theory. 'In each cell in our body, there is a genetic program which causes programmed cell death. When something goes wrong, the cells divide with no control and become cancer cells. In normal cells, when the cell discovers that the control system is not operating correctly - for example, when it recognizes that a cell contains faulty genetic material following cell division - it triggers cell death,' explains Weinstein. 'This research may explain the medical benefit of these herbs.' The success of their research led them to the conclusion that herbs containing citral may be consumed as a preventative measure against certain cancerous cells. As they learned of the BGU findings in the press, many physicians in Israel began to believe that while the research certainly needed to be explored further, in the meantime it would be advisable for their patients, who were looking for any possible tool to fight their condition, to try to harness the cancer-destroying properties of citral. That's why Zabidov's farm - the only major grower of fresh lemon grass in Israel - has become a pilgrimage destination for these patients. Luckily, they found themselves in sympathetic hands. Zabidov greets visitors with a large kettle of aromatic lemon grass tea, a plate of cookies, and a supportive attitude. 'My father died of cancer, and my wife's sister died young because of cancer,' said Zabidov. 'So I understand what they are dealing with. And I may not know anything about medicine, but I'm a good listener. And so they tell me about their expensive painful treatments and what they've been through. I would never tell them to stop being treated, but it's great that they are exploring alternatives and drinking the lemon grass tea as well.' Zabidov knew from a young age that agriculture was his calling. At age 14, he enrolled in the Kfar Hayarok Agricultural high school. After his army service, he joined an idealistic group which headed south, in the Arava desert region, to found a new moshav (agricultural settlement) called Tsofar. 'We were very successful; we raised fruits and vegetables, and,' he notes with a smile, 'We raised some very nice children.' On a trip to Europe in the mid-80s, he began to become interested in herbs. Israel, at the time, was nothing like the trend-conscious cuisine-oriented country it is today, and the only spices being grown commercially were basics like parsley, dill, and coriander. Wandering in the Paris market, looking at the variety of herbs and spices, Zabidov realized that there was a great export potential in this niche. He brought samples back home with him, 'which was technically illegal,' he says with a guilty smile, to see how they would grow in his desert greenhouses. Soon, he was growing basil, oregano, tarragon, chives, sage, marjoram and melissa, and mint just to name a few. His business began to outgrow his desert facilities, and so he decided to move north, settling in the moshav of Kfar Yedidya, an hour and a half north of Tel Aviv. He is now selling 'several hundred kilos' of lemon grass per week, and has signed with a distributor to package and put it in health food stores. Zabidov has taken it upon himself to learn more about the properties of citral, and help his customers learn more, and has invited medical experts to his farm to give lectures about how the citral works and why. He also felt a responsibility to know what to tell his customers about its use. 'When I realized what was happening, I picked up the phone and called Dr. Weinstein at Ben-Gurion University, because these people were asking me exactly the best way to consume the citral. He said to put the loose grass in hot water, and drink about eight glasses each day.' Zabidov is pleased by the findings, not simply because it means business for his farm, but because it might influence his own health. Even before the news of its benefits were demonstrated, he and his family had been drinking lemon grass in hot water for years, 'just because it tastes good.' ************ **New year...new news.

I am a scientist - surely there was a rational explanation for this cruel illness that affects one in 12 women in the UK?* *I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy. I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I felt certain I was facing death.* *I had a loving husband, a beautiful home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted to live. Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some of which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time. Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know that certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset of womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breast cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many risk factors, which we can control easily. These 'controllable' risk factors readily translate into simple changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to help prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advanced breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it. The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancer came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived back from working in China while I was being plugged in for a chemotherapy session. He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazing herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues in China. The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer. Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good belly laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breast cancer in China, and then it was little wonder that Chinese women avoided getting the disease. Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in China get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleagues on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and I remembered some of the statistics. The disease was virtually non-existent throughout the whole country. Only one in 10,000 women in China will die from it, compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and the even grimmer aver age of one in 10 across most Western countries. It is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with less urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises to 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame. The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates. And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so in addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would also expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you with some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized, irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contracting breast cancer by half. Obviously, this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that some lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or the environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance of contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences in breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, it isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese people move to the West, within one or two generations their rates of breast cancer approach those of their host community. The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completely Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breast cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This is because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what is termed 'Hong Kong food'. The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything from ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as 'Hong Kong food', because of its availability in the former British colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China. So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breast cancer and the shockingly high incidence in this country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off, middle-class, Western lifestyle. There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed in my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads to similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible, only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales, however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it is a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier and higher socio-economic groups ¨C those that can afford to eat rich foods. I remember saying to my husband, 'Come on Peter, you have just come back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that is so different?' Why don't they get breast cancer?' We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approach it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the general direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980s that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were from fat, compared to almost 36% in the West. But the diet I had been living on for years before I contracted breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, I knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown to increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that have followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years. Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I have worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure which one of us first said: 'The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!' It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental and emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an important insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw in your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into place and the whole picture is clear.* * Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unable to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with had always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of my close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down the cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese life who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. The tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products. Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milk and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a large delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of the Cultural Revolution in the 1980s. On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer to provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. After inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese, including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it, and they could not be persuaded to change their minds. At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions! Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of food allergies. Over 70% of the world's population is unable to digest the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believe that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort of deficiency. Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrong food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot of dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. I had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but lean minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-up dairy cow. In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth case of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helping my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good' bacteria. Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had been implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, an d had them record in detail what they normally ate. Wish I'd been made aware of his findings when he had first discovered them. Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decided to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately. Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that contained dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish. It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups, biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even many proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower or olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on food labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress of my fifth cancerous lump with calipers and plotting the results. Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from my doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitter truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lump was still the same size. Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started to shrink! About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one week after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch. Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on the graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as the tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of declining exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, the tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line heading off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (or remission) of the tumour. One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairy produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then felt for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was very experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered all five cancers on m y own. I went downstairs and asked my husband to feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either. On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancer specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined me thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He was initially bemused and then delighted as he said, 'I cannot find it.' None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system) to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed my ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understand that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in his lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients. I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancer is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believe that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce, and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining the health of my breast and hormone system, cured me. It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that a substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous health implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, starting from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionary action plan.* Hope you enjoyed this article and i hope it helps at least one person out there.... 6月9日 Health Blogs - FREEFor a free health medicine blog or to read the health medicine blogs go to....they are free im there with "health 'n' wellebing" look out for me....
Truth about cancer - everyone should knowCANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt. b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved. c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer. d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it. 12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup. 13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells. 14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells. 15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life. 16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells. This is taken from the website go and read more very interesting !!!!

2月8日 A Nurses StoryAs a nurse I am shattering the myth of modern medicine.
Medical protocol is determined by what's most profitable, which means "managing" diseases with medication rather than curing them. Since graduating with honors in 1990 from one of the top 10 nursing schools in the US, I have learned the inside truth about Western Medicine - a truth that most doctors and nurses are totally unaware of. Like myself they chose their profession with good intentions, believing it was valiant, but this is a powerful deception hiding a villainous truth.

2月7日 What is your opinion?Added: February 02, 2008
I'm a nurse who is no longer willing to practice modern medicine due to what I've learned about the medical field. These are quotes from an interview I did on why I refuse to continue practicing.
11月22日 Liver CancerLiver CancerAs long as a person's liver is "alive," there is good reason to be optimistic about dealing with liver cancer. The good news is that just because a person has liver cancer does not mean the liver is dead. Liver cancer requires a two-pronged approach. First, the liver must be "detoxified, " to get toxic chemicals out of the liver. Second, the cancer cells in the liver must be killed. Both approaches will be discussed in this section. Note: Because liver cancer is primarily an adenocarcinoma, please read my "type of cancer" article on adeoncarcinoma.Here are some comments about specific alternative cancer treatments. Brandt Grape Cure"Grapes detoxify all tissues and organs and restore organic integrity to starved cells." Of course purple grapes, with seeds and skin, contain more than a dozen cancer killing nutrients that easily get to liver cancer cells. Here is an article on the Brandt Grape Cure: Essaic Tea"(Rene Caisse is the founder of Essiac Tea) [Rene] did little with the Essiac formula until 1924 when her aunt developed stomach and liver cancer. The doctors had given her aunt six months to live. Rene obtained permission from her aunt's physician, Dr. R. O. Fisher, to administer the herbal tea treatment. Rene later said, 'My aunt lived for twenty-one years after being given up by the medical profession. There was no recurrence of cancer.'" Note: Essaic Tea is so potent, you should follow the advice of your vendor when taking Essiac Tea for liver cancer. In other words, do not assume that "more is better." Essiac Tea can be combined with the Brandt Grape Cure. See this article: Noni Juice"I am a general Surgeon. My specialty is Cryo Surgery of the Liver. Most of the time when I see the patient they are on the edge of dying unless the surgery works. I got the Noni Juice after speaking with and reading much about Noni sent to me by Priscilla Salazar Martnez, Steven Shields, and Colene Allen, LMT. Whatever it takes, I want my patients to have a chance for healing. One patient had Prostate Cancer, NO MORE. One had Liver Cancer, NO MORE. Three were at the end, but the pain was helped by Noni Juice so that they were and are coherent without heavy drugs. All this is less than eight weeks. I am really going to keep working with this Juice and hope that you will see the results too." Also see this powerful testimonial on liver cancer and Noni Juice: Some Noni Juice can be combined with the Brandt Grape Cure and Essiac Tea, if desired. See this article: Bill Henderson ProtocolFor those, who for one reason or another, do not want to go on the Brandt Grape Cure or cannot go on the Brandt Grape Cure, there is another treatment that can be combined with Essiac Tea. That is the Bill Henderson Protocol, which has at its core the Budwig Diet. "Scientific studies conducted by Dr. Johanna Budwig in the treatment of seriously ill cancer patients resulted in a gradual recession of tumors, and symptoms of the cancer, liver dysfunction, anemia and diabetes were either partially or completely alleviated." The Budwig diet deals with all types of cancer. Here is Bill Henderson's Protocol: Brandt Grape Cure using Vegetable Juices INSTEAD OF GRAPESThe concept of a "juice fast" in the Brandt Grape Cure can also be used by SUBSTITUTING vegetables juices, headed by carrots, instead of the grape juice. "Farmer Francis Cockram is not the sort of person you would call a crank. Six foot three, his face weathered by years on the land...when Mr. Cockram was told he had liver cancer and only six months to live he felt he had nothing to lose in giving "alternative" medicine a chance. That was in May 1992. More than two years later, he is very much alive. working on the farm... In addition to the Brandt Grape Cure, see this article on how to design the vegetable juice: Other CommentsEllagic Acid"Ellagic acid promotes carcinogen detoxification by stimulating the activity of various isoforms of the enzyme glutathione- S-transferase in hepatoma (liver cancer)(Barch and Rundhaugen, 1992). Another mechanism by which ellagic acid could inhibit tumor initiation is through its potential role as scavenger of the reactive metabolites of carcinogens. " "Ellagic acid reduced the number of altered foci and the incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms in rats with liver cancer induced by N-2-fluorenylacetam ide (Tanaka)." Coenzyme Q10 - CoQ10"Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an excellent antioxidant that is protective for a liver that has been damaged by ischemia (reduced blood flow). CoQ10 is also an important component of healthy metabolism. It protects the mitochondria and cell membrane from oxidative damage and helps generate ATP, the energy source for cells. CoQ10 is absorbed by the lymphatic system and distributed throughout the body." "It is important to take CoQ10 with some kind of oil such as fish or flaxseed because dry powder CoQ10 is not readily absorbed without it." The oil this quote refers to is part of the Budwig diet. Other Treatments for Liver CancersRaw Beet Juice - "Beet juice is highly beneficial as a liver detoxifier and blood cleanser. In cases of cancer, therefore, it purifies the bloodstream so that the blood can do its work of detoxifying the body and delivering nutrients to starved cells. By detoxifying the liver, it further promotes clean blood, which is filtered by the liver." Raw beet juice is part of the same vegetable juice that includes carrots and other vegetables! Do not drink beet juice by itself, always mix it with carrot juice! MGN-3 or MGN3 - "...I am a nurse...I found your website by chance when a life long friend of mine called me one day over a year ago to tell me that he had liver cancer. The survival rate for this type of cancer is very poor...You were an answer to a prayer. He started on MGN-3 right away and his cancer went into remission within a couple of months and he is cancer free now." [These comments refer to the book: Cure Your Cancer, by Bill Henderson] Bitter Melon - "Numerous in vitro studies have also demonstrated the anti-cancerous and anti-leukemic activity of bitter melon against numerous cell lines including liver cancer, human leukemia, melanoma and solid sarcomas." Breuss Cancer Cure - In the Breuss Cancer Cure literature, special mention is made of liver cancer and the importance of the potato in the Breuss fasting diet. This type of treatment cannot be combined with other alternative cancer treatments. Water - a person treating liver cancer should drink at least between 1/2 gallon and 1 gallon of natural water per day to help flush the liver. See: AHCC - "AHCC is an extract of an hybridization of several medical mushrooms, each of which has a long history of medicinal use in Japan. However, AHCC's action is so much more powerful than the mushrooms from which it comes, that studies show it has been effective against liver cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, multiple myeloma, breast cancer, and AIDS." Curcumin - "Another study at Wayne State University saw the same apoptosis action on gastrointestinal and colon cancers. An earlier Chinese study demonstrated the death effect when curcumin was introduced in colon cancer, and certain skin, kidney and liver cancer cells in cultures of mouse embryo fibroblasts. (Nutr Cancer 1996;26(1):111- 20)" "Curcumin, to be effectively assimilated into the bloodstream must be combined with small amounts of piperine (a component of black pepper). It seems piperine enhances the body?s natural absorption function." Bee Pollen - "Brad had incurable liver cancer. His wife had given notice to quit work because Brad was to be bedridden, and they planned to take in students in order to have money to live. Twice I offered Brad Bee Pollen, but he refused. One day he said to Dennis, "There's no hope; no medication or treatments work; I'll be finished soon." My reply to Brad was. "Take Bee Pollen every day." Brad has been cancer free for two years now and is presently operating big machinery." Vitamin D3 - "Additionally, vitamin D3 has demonstrated the ability to inhibit liver cancer cell growth (Majewski et al. 1996). Cancer patients should take 4000-6000 IU of vitamin D3 every day on an empty stomach." IP-6 or IP6 (Inositol hexaphosphate) - "Vucenik I, Tantivejkul K, Zhang ZS, Cole KE, Saied I, Shamsuddin AM. IP6 in treatment of liver cancer. I. IP6 inhibits growth and reverses transformed phenotype in HepG2 human liver cancer cell line. Anticancer Res.1998;18( 6A):4083- 4090." "Vucenik I, Zhang ZS, Shamsuddin AM. IP6 in treatment of liver cancer. II. Intra-tumoral injection of IP6 regresses pre-existing human liver cancer xenotransplanted in nude mice. Anticancer Res. 1998;18:4091- 4096." "IP -6 has been used against a wide variety of cancers. Blood based cancers such as leukemia are the most sensitive, with solid tumors needing a larger dose. Most studies at this point have used either animals or human cancer cells in vitro, i.e. in a test tube. As an example, adding IP -6 to human liver cancer cells resulted in complete inhibition of tumors. Human liver cancer cells injected into mice resulted in 71% tumors. Cells pretreated with IP -6 resulted in no tumors. Pre-existing liver cancers regressed. In another study with Rhabdomyosarcoma, tumors were suppressed from 25 to 49 fold!" "AbulKalam M. Shamsuddin, MD, PhD., a professor of pathology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, has written a book (Nature's Revolutionary Cancer-Fighter, Kensington Publishing Corp.) about his studies of IP-6. His research has shown that it can slow or stop the growth of liver cancer cells in the laboratory and in mice. Dr. Shamsuddin has reported that while IP-6 doesn't actually kill cancer cells, it makes them behave like normal cells, thus eliminating the danger they pose. A number of laboratory studies have confirmed his findings. Research suggests that IP-6 can boost immune function, help lower cholesterol, prevent formation of kidney stones, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, and prevent the complications of diabetes." Glutathione - "Glutathione is a small protein composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine. It is involved in detoxification of the liver and the body. Glutathione to toxins, such as heavy metals, solvents, and pesticides, and transforms them into a form that can be excreted in urine or bile. Glutathione is also an important antioxidant, counteracting the effects of free radicals produced in the body by oxidation reactions." ABM (Agaricus Blazei Murill) - "Subsequent studies over the next 25 years have shown the ABM to stimulate the immune system and promote natural mechanisms to battle infectious disease and cancers. ABM stimulates lymphocyte T-cell and Helper T-cell production. The polysaccharide contained in ABM stimulates production of interferon and interleukin that indirectly function to destroy and prevent the proliferation of cancer cells. Additionally, ABM turned out to be a very powerful antiviral agent preventing viruses from entering tissues. Normally, the polysaccharides found in fungus only affect solid cancers, however the polysaccharide in ABM is effective against Ehrich's ascites carcinoma, sigmoid colonic cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and liver cancer as well as against solid cancers." PMGs (Protomorphogens) - "Any dietary therapy must contain PMGs and eliminate sugars (or to be more specific, all processed foods). The only place you can get PMGs specifically for your organ that has cancer, is from a distributor of Standard Process Labs, or Dr West (my personal supplier). For lung cancer, there is Pneumotrophin, for liver cancer there is Hepatrophin, etc." For more information, see: Testimonial Which Includes Complete Treatment Protocol For Liver Cancer Click Here Other CommentsThere are two general ways to "stimulate" the liver. One is to have an enema, such as a coffee enema or lemon juice enema. The other is to use herbs, etc. Some of the nutrients that help detoxify and stimulate the liver are mentioned above. For more information about the liver and cancer there are two, free eBooks that can be read online: http://www.jonbarro n.com/ (click on Free Download) Here is a web site that has a complete protocol for liver cancer: Here is another site with a complete protocol: Here is a list of books that talk about liver cancer (I am not sure I agree with some of their choices): http://www.curezone .com/books/ best/categoryx. asp?CAT=782 Note: Do not forget the importance of a Phase Two treatment protocol after all symptoms of cancer are gone. Why does Cancer Come backWhy cancer comes back
following chemotherapy, radiation or surgery
One of the most common problems in cancer patients who choose to undergo
conventional cancer therapy is recurrence. They might think they have beaten their
cancer with chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, only to find a few years
later that tumors have spread into other tissues -- usually the lungs, brain, or
even the reproductive organs. Conventional medicine has not yet caught on to
what's happening here, but the reason why this phenomenon occurs is quite
simple: Conventional cancer treatments only treat the symptoms of cancer (tumors
or growths) and do not actually do anything to help the patient regain a level
of health necessary to keep cancer in check.
A tumor is not technically a disease. It is a symptom of an underlying
imbalance in the patient. Unless you treat and reverse the underlying imbalances,
you will never eliminate the underlying cause of the cancer. You will continue
to see more tumors and complications, even if you are able to treat the first
tumors.
Think of it like this: suppose you have a dam holding up a body of water such
as a lake. One day, due to poor maintenance, the dam begins to crack and
water starts leaking through. In the world of conventional cancer treatment, they
would say the problem is the water, and they would begin treating the water.
They would try to evaporate the water or eliminate the water from flooding the
valley below. But the problem isn't the water leaking through the dam; the
problem is the integrity of the dam itself. Unless you diagnose the problem with
the dam and repair it, then you will never stop the leaking water.
The same is true with cancer. Unless you address the underlying integrity of
the immune system and the body's self-repairing technology, all you're doing
is chasing symptoms. You can treat all the cancer tumors in the world and still
do nothing to actually help the cancer patient solve his or her underlying
problem.
The cancer industry remains ignorant of useful treatments
Amazingly, after decades of research, and billions of dollars spent on cancer
research, the conventional cancer industry remains oblivious to this simple
truth about cancer. They don't teach cancer prevention, and they don't believe
in cancer cures even though many exist. They are still treating the water
rather than the dam by treating the tumors rather than the underlying problem.
Conventional cancer treatments actually harm the patient and the patient's
immune system, making it even more difficult to overcome cancer in the future.
Chemotherapy harms the immune system and impairs organs such as the brain,
liver, and the heart. It's sort of like using TNT to blow out the water leaking
through the dam. You destroy the dam at the same time. It leaves the patient
unable to stop the progression of the cancer. The real answers to cancer
prevention and cure are found in nutrition, exercise, reduction of stress, and
avoidance of environmental chemicals and toxins. Chemotherapy is not a cure for
cancer, nor is radiation, because both of those treatments actually cause cancer.
When you poison the immune system and irradiate tissues, you create physical
imbalances which in turn can create cancer. This is the simple reason why so
many people who subject themselves to conventional cancer treatments find
themselves battling recurring cancer years later.
Where to start with curing cancer
The bottom line is that conventional cancer treatments are a sham and they do
nothing to help the patient overcome the causes of cancer. They do a great
job of creating repeat business for the cancer industry, however, and
pharmaceutical companies now have a reliable market for the anticancer chemicals that
have now become mainstream treatments for this entirely preventable and curable
disease. But if you want to really cure cancer, you've got to focus on
detoxification and healing from the inside out. Nearly all cases of cancer are caused
in part by a burden of toxic, synthetic chemicals lodged in the liver, heart
and digestive tract. Eliminating those is the first step towards a real cure,
and cleansing the liver is probably the single most important thing to do when
seeking to cure your own cancer (or to have a "permanent remission" as
conventional oncologists might call it, since they don't believe there is such a
thing as a cure for cancer).
So, how do you cleanse your liver? I could write an entire article just on
that, but here's something to get you started on what to investigate: The best
modalities for liver cleansing are, in my opinion, Traditional Chinese Medicine
and rainforest herbs (Amazon herbs). I'll be writing a lot more about Amazon
Herbs in the next day or two, so come back to read more about that if you want
to learn about which herbs and herbal products are best at removing toxins
from your liver (and restoring healthy liver function).
In my opinion, there is no such thing as a cancer recovery without a healthy,
functioning liver. So start with supporting the liver. Isn't it interesting
to note that chemotherapy -- which is still somehow accepted as the mainstream
treatment for cancer -- is extremely toxic to the liver? In fact, chemotherapy
compromises the body's ability to cure itself of cancer in the future,
thereby ensuring continued entrapment in the pharmacological medical system. The
reason conventional medicine is so incredibly profitable is that the chemical
products they use harm patients just enough to make sure they need to keep coming
back for more treatments.
Enzyme DeficienciesENZYME DEFICIENCIES
_ ( "How is it possible that I am sick even though I eat the most organic foods, am very careful with my diet and exercise regularly?" The answer tends to be: ENZYME DEFICIENCY. The following is a brief summary of several of the more common enzyme deficiency conditions. ~~~: Protease digests protein. What happens when you are protease deficient? You will have protein deficiency symptoms, depending on how deficient you are in protease. Protease deficiency creates alkaline excess in the blood. This is not because protease itself is acidic; it is not. Acidity is created through the digestion of protein with protease. Some people may be vegetarian not by choice, but because they are protease deficient and cannot digest protein. Since acidity comes from the digestion of protein with protease, protease-deficient people may have an alkaline excess which can produce anxiety states. Often people take tranquilizers such as Xanex and then they zombie around in a fog, when simply taking protease can, through increased digestion of protein, acidify them to HOMEOSTASIS with resulting relief of their anxiety. Homeostasis is the dynamic equilibrium within the body. Without successful physiological homeostasis (balance), in which relatively constant conditions are maintained in the internal environment, the body cannot survive. The maintenance of homeostasis involves a number of factors in addition to metabolism, such as water intake and retention, acid-base balance, excretion of waste matter and control of body temperature. In other words our body will do whatever it must to stay in homeostasis. Protein is also required to carry protein-bound calcium in the blood. Insufficient protein-bound calcium lays the foundation for arthritis and other calcium deficient diseases. Why? When the blood cannot carry calcium because it lacks protein, it withdraws the necessary calcium from the bones to maintain homeostasis. This situation is aggravated in people who take calcium carbonate supplements, such as Tums or other antacids, because this adds to the alkaline stress on the blood. The blood cannot carry ionic calcium as efficiently because ionic calcium requires a certain level of acidity to be present. Overly alkaline people have a multitude of calcium metabolism problems, such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, gouty arthritis, degenerative disc problems, bone spurs and related disorders such as sciatica and ligament problems. Because 46% of digested protein is converted to glucose upon demand, inadequate protein digestion leads to hypoglycemia (hypoglycemia also has other causes such as hypothyroidism and vitamin deficiency). Symptoms include moodiness, mood swings and irritability among many others. Water follows protein (literally). Inadequate protein in the blood also means inadequate water. Where does the water go? Into the tissues after the protein! This causes tissue swelling (edema ). Water is forced into the capillaries and into the tissues by the pressure of blood being pumped around the body. By a reverse process, which depends on the water-drawing power of the proteins in the blood, it is reabsorbed in the capillaries from the tissues. These two mechanisms need to remain in balance. Protein maldigestion leads to a toxic colon. People in this category often have problems in the area of the descending colon (lower right quadrant of the abdomen). This includes developing appendicitis and even more serious problems such as mucous colitis and even colon cancer. Another of the most common results of protein maldigestion is chronic ear infections and fluid in the ears, especially in children. This is a protease calcium deficiency. To drain fluids from the middle ear, you must increase protease in the blood. Protease will pull water out of the middle ear, and also the ankles, hands and feet during PMS, and put it back into the blood. Protease is also involved in the immune system via its action on bacterial debris, certain viruses, and its ability to break down circulating immune complexes. Protease has an ability to digest unwanted debris in the blood and should be considered your friendly blood cleanser. Protease deficient people are immune compromised, making them susceptible to bacterial, viral and yeast Infections and a general decrease in immunity. Protease deficient women are predisposed towards PMS. The only people who cannot tolerate protease are those who suffer from ulcers, gastritis or hiatus hernias. The already damaged mucosal tissue cannot handle the extra acidity from the digested protein ~~~AMYLASE DEFICIENCY CONDITIONS: Amylase digests carbohydrates or
polysaccharides into smaller disaccharide units, eventually converting them into monosaccharides such as glucose. People who are fat intolerant (can't digest fats) often eat sugar and carbohydrates to make up for the lack of fat in their diet. If their diet is excessive in carbohydrates, they develop an amylase deficiency and symptoms arising therefrom. Amylase digests not only carbohydrates but also dead white blood cells (pus). For example, when you are low in amylase you are a candidate for abscesses (areas with pus but not bacteria). if you have a toothache and are being treated with antibiotics, but it doesn't go away, chances are you may have an abscess. Amylase is involved in anti-inflammatory reactions such as those caused by the release of histamine and similar substances. The inflammatory response usually occurs in organs which are in contact with the outside world such as the lungs and skin. These include skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema, hives, insect bites, allergic bee and bug stings. atopic dermatitis, and all types of herpes. The lung problems including asthma and emphysema require amylase plus other enzyme formulas depending on the particular condition. Carbohydrates require phosphorus. If excess refined carbohydrates are consumed, a phosphorus deficiency will result. ~~~Phosphorus deficiencies include: thick blood, tendency towards gastritis
(inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract) and stiff joints, especially in the morning. Why stiff joints? Adequate phosphorus prevents the deposit of calcium oxalate and calcium carbonate in the joints. If phosphorus is deficient due to excess consumption of sugar, joint pain results from deposits of oxalates and carbonates Phosphorus deficiency is often accompanied by thick blood and high blood pressure. Please do not feel you can run out and get a phosphorus supplement to solve this problem. Quite the contrary. The only way the calcium and phosphorus can be balanced is by getting them both from the foods in which they originate in a natural, balanced proportion. ~~~LIPASE DEFICIENCY CONDITIONS: Since lipase digests fat and fat-soluble
vitamins, lipase deficient people can be expected to have a tendency towards high cholesterol, high triglycerides, difficulty losing weight and diabetes or a tendency towards glucosuria (sugar in the urine without symptoms of diabetes). The down-the-road outcome of these tendencies is heart disease. Because lipase requires the co-enzyme chloride, lipase deficient people have a tendency towards hyphochlorhydria (low chlorides in our electrolyte balance). This can be easily remedied with lipase, but often nutritionists recommend using betaine HCL, which places acidic stress on the blood, leading to an inability to provide the alkalinity required to activate the body's pancreatic enzymes. Lipase requires a high pH for its activation among food enzymes. That is why fats are the hardest of all foods to digest. Fat intolerant people can be helped by taking a lipase supplement, but the fat intolerance problem still exists. (i.e .... Taking a food combination containing lipase will gradually reduce the size of gall stones, thus reducing symptoms, but this does not cure fat intolerance just as surgery does not cure disease.) The lipase will help prevent an aggravated condition ONLY if the fat intolerant person minimizes fat consumption. Lipase deficient people have decreased cell permeability, meaning nutrients cannot get in and the waste cannot get out of the cell. For example, diabetics are lipase deficient and cannot get glucose into their cells, and wastes or unwanted substances cannot get out. People with 'hidden viruses" that are often diagnosed with "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" also fall into this category. Lipase modulates cell permeability so that nutrients can enter and wastes can exit. Of course, waste-eating enzymes (such as protease) must be taken to help cleanse the blood of the unwanted debris. A common symptom of lipase deficiency is muscle spasms. This is not the "muscle cramp" (tetany) resulting from low ionized blood calcium. It commonly occurs as trigger point pain in the muscles across the upper shoulders, but it can occur in other muscles, such as those in the neck or anywhere in the small or large intestines including the muscles of the rectal tissues. If chronic muscle spasms keep you going back to a chiropractor, osteopath or acupuncturist for repeated adjustments or therapy, try adding some lipase to your diet. It may help you hold your adjustments. People with "spastic colon" may be lipase deficient. They are given toxic muscle relaxant drugs to control the symptoms, but what they really need is a simple food enzyme called lipase. ~~~The condition of vertigo, or labrynthis, also called Meniere's Disease (dizziness aggravated by movement such as walking or driving), can result from lipase deficiency. A nutritionist saw this condition develop suddenly in a young man after the typical American fat challenge test - a meal which consisted of a fried fish sandwich with tartar sauce, double cheeseburger plus a bag of french fries. The dizziness was accompanied by severe nausea and vomiting which was aggravated by movement. This condition lasted several days. Lipase can relieve a condition like this, often within minutes. The condition of menopause is often associated with lipase deficiency because lipase addresses the gonadal tissue. However, PMS is more often associated with protease deficiency. ~~~CELLULASE DEFICIENCY CONDITIONS: Our body makes no cellulase at all,
whereas our pancreas produces enzymes similar to protease, amylase and lipase. They are similar, but not identical, because ONLY FOOD ENZYMES WORK IN THE STOMACH. Pancreatic enzymes work in the duodenum when it is at the right alkaline pH (third part of digestion). Because our bodies do not make cellulase, this food enzyme is essential. We must eat it on a daily basis. Remember, ONLY RAW FOODS contain cellulase. Of all the enzymes, this deficiency carries with it the most categories of problems. Cellulase deficiency is a malabsorption syndrome (impaired absorption of nutrients, vitamins, or minerals from the diet by the lining of the small intestine) with its many symptoms of lower abdominal gas, pain, bloating and problems associated with the jejunum and pancreas. Other conditions associated with cellulose deficiency include nervous system conditions such as Bell's Palsy, Tic and facial neuralgia, all of which respond remarkably to cellulase. Certain toxic conditions, such as chemicals, drugs and toxic metals, including silver amalgam fillings (mercury in the teeth) are greatly alleviated with cellulase. This also includes acute food allergies. People who have malabsorption syndrome and cellulose deficiency have a tendency toward sugar and/or gluten intolerance. ~~~SUCROSE INTOLERANCE: This condition exists when people cannot split the
sucrose disaccharide into its twin partners, two units of glucose. Glucose is a primary brain food so expect mental and emotional problems in people who cannot get glucose into the brain. These symptoms include the whole gamut from depression and moodiness to panic attacks, manic and schizophrenic behavior and severe mood swings, which often lead to toxic behavior- modifying drugs. Seizures, cranial problems and headaches in sucrose intolerant people have been observed, not to mention the symptoms of B-vitamin deficiency resulting from the use of refined white sugar. One researcher has observed almost a universal intolerance syndrome among childhood asthmatics. Whether from genetic intolerance or over consumption, the symptoms are the same. Do not be fooled by thinking that refined white sugar is the only culprit and that other synthetic sugars are okay. Many people do not think that such synthetic sugars as corn syrup, fructose, Nutrasweet, saccharin, Sorbital and Mannitol are harmful. However, severe health problems have occurred from one or all of these as well. ~~~LACTOSE INTOLERANCE: People who are intolerant of lactose also have
classic symptoms which include abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Other allergic symptoms have been recorded, not the least of which was asthma, from the ingestion of lactose-containing products. You should know that the FDA allows the addition of lactose as a food additive without labeling. Do not think that your children are safe if they are lactose intolerant just because they do not drink milk. ~~~GLUTEN INTOLERANCE: Gluten intolerance is associated with Celiac Disease and Malabsorption Syndrome. It is also associated with Crohn's Disease. The insidious thing about gluten intolerance is that it creates a sugar intolerance because when gluten intolerant people eat food containing gluten, the brush border cells of the jejunum are injured and thus unable to secrete the disaccharidases (sucrose, lactase and maltose) leading to sugar intolerance. Double Trouble! Most gluten intolerant individuals usually do not need to abstain from all the gluten grains (wheat, oats, rye and barley). However, sometimes it is a must. |
