omnivores can lower their risk simply by lowering their protein intake.

Good thing, too. Your blood has to be within the pH range 7.35 to 7.45 in order

for your heart to beat. If the pH drops too low, your heart stops beating and

the nice folks at the hospital have to give you IV bicarb to raise the pH before

they can even try reviving you.

> What this has to do with protein is this: When you eat protein (any kind --

meat, dairy, soy, beans, etc.) it breaks down in your body into amino acids.

That's ACIDs. And they really are acid, dropping your blood's pH considerably

if you eat a big hunk of protein. So your body's top priority is to restore the

pH ASAP. It does this by grabbing the nearest available calcium and dumping it

into your bloodstream until the pH is right again. If you didn't eat a lot of

calcium with your protein (dairy, greens, cabbage-family veggies) then the next

most available calcium is in your bones. Your body just yanks the calcium right

out of your bones to restore the blood pH.

out of there FAST to keep the pH low enough. Usually this entails plastering it

anywhere it will stick -- damaged arteries (arteriosclerosis), damaged joints

(arthritis), damaged tendons (bone spurs) rather than putting it back into the

bones, which apparently is a slower process and doesn't drop the pH of the blood

fast enough.

Laura, thanks for this infor mative post. I wonder if

you can suggest a quick way or ways to balance the

acid/alk in the blood quickly -- just incase I forget

to have enough of the dairy/leafy/cruciferous good stuff along with all that

protien? Thanks, Thomasine

When it comes to supplements, there's often a difference between what

goes into our mouths and what gets used by the body. A family in my home town

has been in the business of renting porta potties for decades. They've told

me that when they go to clean out the waste they regularly see completely

intact vitamins in the waste material. Apparently which vitamins you take

DOES matter.

Regarding mineral absorption there is a process called fructose

compounding which bonds fructose (fruit sugar) with mineral molecules. Body

cells readily absorb the mineral fructose combination, whereas minerals

bonded to other stuff may well get rejected by the cells. As you'd guess, I

take a calcium product that's made with fructose compounding.

A bit of further data on osteoporosis. There is a 40% loss of calcium in the bones before osteoporosis will even show up on an x-ray. A real important step in reversing osteoporosis is to eat lots of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables as these give the body enzymes so that the liver can do its job without taking more calcium from the bones. It is a great habit to eat an organic salad before lunch and dinner. I would recommend the Lemon Egg formula from the files as this formula made from organic eggs is an excellent, natural source of calcium that is easy for the body to use.

my fiance has just been dx'ed with rather low bone density - osteoporosis has not been mentioned yet, though. It's linked to his testosterone deficiency and was dx'ed in that context. He's 37 and also suffers from asthma - the cortison spray will probably make the bone density problem worse.

Take a 1 quart mason jar and fill about 3/4'ers of the way up (about 5 or 6 eggs depending on size). Your lemon juice must be freshly squeezed from organic lemons and fill to the just below the lip. Place in the fridge and let sit for NO MORE than 48 hours. No more and no less. A few times a day, take out and gently swirl around. Be very gentle when you take the eggs out of the mixture at the end of 48 hours as you don't want to break the membrane. Now use the eggs in an omlette = delicious and place the Lemon Egg mixture back in the fridge. A good dosage is 1 to 3 oz a day.

 

All the organic calcium will be leeched into the lemon juice.

 

I like the taste but then I think that 300,000 heat unit Habanero Cayenne is good too )

Of course; haven't you heard " It's never too late, for Caltrate " !! )

 

In all seriousness though, a suggested protocol in summation from John R. Lee,

M.D. (oops, there's those letters, again! LOL) taken from Alternative Medicine:

The Definitive Guide (p.778):

 

Diet: Leafy greens, red meat 3x or less/wk., limit excessive protein and sodas,

alcohol, fat, sodium, and caffeine.

 

Supplements: 350-400iu of vitamin D; 2000mg vitamin C in divided doses; 15mg

(25,000iu vitamin A equivalent); 800mg calcium. Vitamin B6 and K, magnesium,

zinc, manganese, strontium, boron, silicon, and copper may be warrented, along

with hydrochloric acid as necessary (the irony of possibly low HClA, and the

commercials to get your calcium from an ANTACID!)

 

Hormonal supplements: 1 ounce of a 3% natural progesterone cream per month by

applying 1/4 tsp. at bedtime over a 2 - 3 wk. period each month alternating

" smooth " skin sites; 0.3 - 0.625 mg conjugated (or compounded) estrogen if

needed for hot flashes or vaginal dryness timed to coincide with progesterone

application unless contraindicated)

 

Exercise: 20 mins. daily or 1/2 hr. 3x/wk. (preferably weight bearing exercise -

my emphasis)

 

Just one persons suggestion, but a starting point, anyway!

 

In Health,

Steve

tell her anything except that it showed up in her x-rays. I know nothing

about this disease. Is there a way that she can reverse this?

 

Hi Pearly,

 

It is not really a disease but more the gradual loss on bone over time dur to

declining hormone levels.

 

Osteoporosis has two main elements. One is a loss of calcium from the bone and

the other is a loss of the collagen

matrix the calcium forms on.

 

Diet can effect the calcium level in the bones and generally hormones effect the

amount of matrix. In postmenopausal

women it is loss of estrogen which causes a loss of matrix and thus bone

strength even if dietary calcium and all its

cofactors are there.

 

How old is your sis in-law? Was the osteo diagnosed on one bone area or all

over? What kind of exercise does she do?

Hi Denise,

 

It's about much more than calcium, although calcium is important. Vit D, Kit K,

phosphorus, potassium & other mineral

are also involved.

 

The hormones involved in maintaining the collagen matrix at top density are; GH,

IGF-1, Testosterone, Estrogen &

Cortisol.

 

Bone is being remodelled / turned over all the time and over time more bone

matrix is dissolved than is made. It's the

loss of the bone matrix upon which calcium is deposited than causes

osteoporosis.

 

A quick test is a drugstore DEXA scan on your heal.

Hi Penny,

 

While I generally agree with you that exercise and diet can be contributing

factors, it is loss of Estrogens which

drives the loss of bone collagen matrix.

 

I wish it were otherwise.

 

Please don't put up your fists but the decline in hormonal level as we age it

NOT natural and can, to a large extent, be

stopped and more youthful levels restored through various herbs, amino acids &

supplements.

[Guest guest]

Denise, you definitely have a piece of the puzzle here and what you say is spot on. Greg, your summation adds more pieces to the puzzle though it also adds more complexities (confusions) and does not necessarily lead to a resolution of the problem of osteo. Your later post having to do with the Acid/Alkaline ratio is a major key and does lead to some handlings and what follows will elaborate on that.

 

I think we need to look at some basics here and the place to start, is with the definition of Naturopathy:

 

Naturopathy n. the science or art of treating disease by addressing the CAUSE, using Nutrition, Bio-Chemistry (Herbs, Vitamins, Enzymes, Amino Acids, Essential Fats, etc.), Exercise, Sunlight, Clean Air, Pure Water, Massage, Hydrotherapy (Hot & Cold), Prayer, Meditation, Lifestyle, and correcting those imbalances found.It has been observed by teachers and healers beyond count that correction of these imbalances brings about a state whereby the body will then correct itself automatically bringing about homeostasis (balance). One thing is for certain. By addressing the "Cause of disease", Naturopathy as a subject is senior to, and more important than Allopathy (Conventional Medicine) which handles only symptoms. Osteoporosis is itself a symptom or result (The effect created). Likewise, hormonal imbalances are only symptoms.

 

We need to find and address the CAUSE!

 

An elaborate response was promised on this issue and many basics will be covered before we get to a resolution of Osteo (and many other diseases) so be prepared to sit down for an hour or two to digest all of this. All of the concepts which follow are taken in one form or another from the book I am writing "Naturopathy, The Modern Science of Physical Health" and are copyrighted material so please do not copy without my permission.

"Ask not for whom the bell tolls,

It tolls for thee".

 

John Donne, 1593

Dr. Richard Schulze reported in his April 2000 Newsletter, "The major cause of death in the US today is Medical Doctors." He's not the only one who has made this statement and if one were a data analyst the national statistics would bear this out.

 

Dr. Wallach propounded in his famous taped lecture series DEAD DOCTORS DON’T LIE, "And who’s the Big Cheese of all MDs? Surgeons of course - Heart surgeons and Brain surgeons. And here we have Dr. Z, 52 years old of Solana Beach, a ritzy area north of San Diego, a prominent cardiovascular surgeon who died of a heart attack. Dr. Z was probably one of the best technicians in the world at ripping a heart out of a dead person and putting it into somebody else and sewing the blood vessels together. But he died at age 52 and you know why? He forgot that the flesh requires something besides surgery and x-rays. He forgot the basic nutritional needs of human beings."

The current wayward path of mankind today demonstrable by, the suppression of his good qualities and his moral and spiritual values, the repression of the alternative natural health fields, the destruction of orthodox religions, the psychotropic drugging of our school children, the abolition of prayer and moral values from our schools, the annihilation of our food and water sources, is leading towards the physical, mental and spiritual enslavement of all mankind and perhaps even the death of this planet.

 

A person has only to walk out his front door to witness chaos, and by turning on the 6 o’clock news he can be made instantly aware of man’s inhumanity to man. It does not require any brilliance in research to observe this, and the only mistake one might make is to close his eyes to the obvious, simply because he can’t see the forest for the trees. These problems won’t simply fade away by sticking our heads in the sand and ignoring the issues. Today there is strong evidence that a world wide conspiracy exists, and it would help if the conspirators could be identified, isolated and then ostracized from our community so that promulgation of their vile programs would stop. False data (information) if used, makes people seem stupid, and the entire twentieth Century was an epoch in time where false information and outright lies were rampant. Let it be enough that certain watchdog groups such as WorldNet, located at http://www.worldnetdaily.com/ and others, have researched and documented much of this intrigue. Even though these would-be enslavers of man are still free to walk upon the earth for the moment, let us concentrate first on exactly what the problems are, then focus our energies on correcting the bad data and finding, correlating, and implementing solutions.

 

There are many verified reports that some of the front groups used by these conspirators are the FDA, AMA, APA, WHO, the World Bank and the large pharmaceutical companies who according to "Statistics Canada", now gross well over a trillion dollars a year in income.

How does one fight such a powerful, financially well entrenched juggernaut? How can we replace all the false information with TRUTH?

The answer is Communication, and more Communication.

 

Never in the history of man has intercourse around the world been more readily available and instantaneous. In the last 5 years, the Internet has made the entire World accessible at the press of a key. Using this medium, truth can be promulgated to dissipate the veil of lies and corruption. Even so, it is as individuals with our sleeves rolled up that will eventually get this job done.

 

The path of irresponsibility has been traveled long enough. It is time that we and this world grew up to revel in our freedoms, and our differences, while insisting on a high level of ethical conduct from all. The Naturopath has a vital role in this goal, for he is above all else a teacher with the purpose of creating wellness for all of mankind. It is the Naturopath who must pioneer and lead the way in taking this vast responsibility for his fellows.

Naturopathy is and does the following:

 

It is organized sciences built on the research and work of brave pioneers who were courageous enough to observe phenomena and report those results that actually worked.

It contains therapeutic techniques which when used with spiritual and proper mental guidance, can lead to a healing.

It produces health in a human being and allows him to reach towards his full potential.

Naturopathy as a philosophy can assist mankind to realize that stellar goal of "Peace on Earth."

It focuses on the good in man and helps to bring that attribute to the forefront of his personality.

The single source of ALL physical illness is discovered and demonstrated on a clinical and scientific basis (covered later).

Naturopathy proves that wellness is the norm and that disease is nothing more than imbalances (spiritual, mental and physical) in a lifestyle brought about by the individual himself. The condition of the individual is the responsibility of the individual himself.

It brings together Nutrition, Bio-Chemistry, Exercise and Ethics as a synergistic workable solution.

Naturopathy ends the "necessity" of destroying a body by surgery and synthetic drugs to effect a "cure" by addressing only the symptoms.

Research and other fields are enhanced by Naturopathy.

 

Naturopathy encompasses all of these.

 

"Made up of body, mind, and spirit, we humans must realize that all of these dimensions are important for healthy, harmonious living."

 

Bernard Jensen Ph.D.

from his book

The Chemistry of Man

 

Per Funk and Wagnall’s, Paragon means: n. a model of excellence. This is a good word, and accurately describes someone who has reached his own personal optimal health level. Additionally, this person would have achieved a spiritual, mental and physical harmony in his life, a balance that he himself and others would consider very valuable.

 

A couple of years ago this author extensively researched on the Internet 117 people by survey, from over a dozen religions and sects to discover that each and every one of them had belief in, knowledge and documentation of, miracles having to do with healing. Furthermore, it was generally agreed upon that "function" monitors "form" especially in regards Homo sapiens, and therefore "Spirit, Mind, and Body" are given in their relative order of importance.

 

There is no attempt here to promulgate or expound upon any particular religious dogma, therefore Spiritual health, the most important of the three, must have the least said about it, for respect of the sacred beliefs of the individual reader, and consequently the Spiritual advice which follows is general in nature:

 

 

Whatever your religion, get more involved in it. Connect up with others of your own faith and practice it, embrace it, and revel in it. Live a highly ethical, productive existence.

If you have no religion, then search for one, wherever and whatever it may be, for experience, that hard uncompromising teacher, has demonstrated in life, that any religious philosophy is better than none.

By surveyed result (every single person surveyed agreed with this point), if one were to concentrate on only one of the three (Spiritual, Mental, and Physical), only the Spirit has the potential to bring about a complete "cure" without any help from the other two.

 

It appears the other two can not stand alone and need help from this powerful 1/3 of our makeup, so please don’t neglect it. A paragon has his spiritual house in order, and leads a very ethical, productive life.

 

In regards the Mind, this field as practiced by modern medicine today has gone completely allopathic, and has been perverted more than any other science. Psychiatrists and Psychologists as scientists have failed, and completely betrayed the job entrusted to them.

 

Psychiatry has brought the people of Earth nothing but pain and suffering with their synthetic drugs, lobotomies and shock treatments. Their legacy includes the greatest wave of drug addiction the World has ever seen. One out of five Americans is in on Psychiatric Psychotropic drugs. Talk about an epidemic of gargantuan proportions.

 

Psychologists have all but destroyed our school and educational systems, and turned these once proud halls of learning into war zones. Through their efforts, discipline and prayer have been removed from the classroom.

 

Both the Psychiatrist and the Psychologist have been preying on our children and actively turning them into destructive Zombies with drugs such as Ritalin and Prozac, so that incidents such as Columbine are becoming common place every day occurrences. Having personally had experience with, and been able to investigate over 2,000 children (Ritalin, Prozac, etc. type cases), this author is convinced that this one factor alone, if not soon reversed, will bring about the downfall and destruction of American Society as we know it.

 

Psychotherapy has proven time and again that it does not work, and what little truth was there to begin with has been twisted and warped beyond all recognition, and is now used ultimately to covertly degrade, pervert, and destroy. Psychoanalysis and hypnotism do nothing but teach the lesson of how a person must adjust himself and then accept being the effect of the environment, rather than being a contributing, causative force over it.

 

There are actions one can take to improve one’s mind, mental out-look on life and therefore his mental health, and these are:

 

Learn to love all of yourself (your body, your personality, and even your deformities).

Follow Dr. John Christopher’s example when you get up in the morning, and go open a big window and yell to the whole wide world, "It’s great to be alive!"

Tell yourself at least 3 times each day the following: "I’m great!", "I’m beautiful!", "I’m tough and I can lick the whole cockeyed universe", and "I’m cause over everything that happens to me and around me."

Admit and acknowledge to yourself that YOU are responsible for the condition you are in, and that you created this condition in the first place.

Disconnect from anything or anyone who is negative and not supportive of you. There are negative, anti-social people who specialize in doing wrong and who glory in bringing others down. These are the rumor mongers who only criticize and never praise or encourage. If you feel like your life is a rollercoaster, up one day and then down the next, then you are most likely connected to one or more of these negative types. To the devil with them, get them out of your life. Just because there are rattlesnakes in the world doesn’t mean one has to live with them.

Connect up to and communicate only with positive, constructive people who are willing to help you survive while allowing you to contribute to their well-being as well. "Help" works best as a two way flow - giving and taking.

Go to positive affirmation seminars or at least buy some books and tapes having to do with this. If you run across one that tries to teach you to adjust yourself to your environment, throw it out for that was written by some Negative person or Psych who is covertly trying to bring you down while promising to bring you up. Stick to the ones which emphasize you being "Cause", and assist you in becoming more responsible for yourself, others, and the environment. All the great paragons of the past have been very causative people who took full responsibility for their sphere of influence. They molded the environment around them while thinking of the greatest good for all concerned.

And lastly: Love, love and love some more!

 

A paragon is always positive and never gives up. He just never gives up.

 

We’re now down to the nitty-gritty mechanics of bodies and what makes ‘em tick. As previously mentioned, the Spiritual and Mental aspects are crucial to ensuring the physical body does well, but from this point on, the assumption is that these are now being addressed by the individual and the body will be addressed alone.

 

Baring accidents, wars, and unforeseen catastrophes, awesome physical health is dependent upon only these three crucial things:

 

 

Great nutrition.

A balanced Bio-chemistry.

Effective exercise and proper rest.

 

A paragon keeps his body well nourished, biochemically homeostatic, and in excellent physical condition.

 

A paragon is ethical and has all three facets of his life (Spirit, Mind and Body) in a properly balanced equilibrium (homeostasis).

 

"Until Man duplicates a blade of grass,

Nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge."

Thomas Edison

The Naturopathic direction of effort has always been towards simplicity and the handling of Causes, while the path of complexity and has always belonged solely to the Allopath.

 

In studying modern allopathic medicine nowadays, it is difficult to keep up with all the "new diseases" that are "discovered" each year. There appears to be a contest amongst medical doctors to see who can come up with the newest, most esoteric illness which is then of course named after the doctor who discovered it. If "luck" is really with him, the malady and a very expensive "Super-Duper-Fix-It-All-One-Shot-Cure" becomes all the rage and the general public is subjected to a rash of "everybody’s gotta git th’ new…", and so "cures" such as tonsillectomies, hysterectomies, appendectomies, mastectomies, and other organ removals become daily occurrences.

The holistic approach of the Naturopath is completely the opposite as he regards all illness as ONE. He therefore has tremendous successes with his patients, as he teaches them to address every facet of their lives consequently bringing about a harmonious balance of optimum health.

 

A search for the intrinsic bodily cause of all physical illness has been long, and many natural healers have walked that road of research to no avail, or as is more usual, have accepted lesser substitutes as being the Truth. However, the bridge between the Mind and the Body in regards physical illness has long been known, and it has been proven time and again that the Mental cause of all physical disease is STRESS (synonymously used with SUPPRESSION). Find a person who is ill and STRESS will be found in his life prior to the onslaught of the disease one hundred percent of the time.

 

The big $64,000 question has been and is, "What is the basic common denominator of all physical disease?", or in other words, "What is that particular physical manifestation which is common to all illness?".

 

Having studied and practiced the herbal philosophies of Dr. John Christopher, and Dr. Richard Schulze for the last several years, this author at first accepted without question their conclusion that the basic physical manifestation of all disease was "BLOCKAGE". In the beginning years of my own practice, this theorem appeared to be axiomatic and was very workable, and many successes were attained by using and applying this principle in actual clinical situations. However, as time went by, there were exceptions, and that number continued to grow until it became obvious that the prime postulate needed refinement.

And this I've done.

 

 

 

All physical illness has one basic common denominator, and that factor is "STOPPAGE"! It is not a new thought that stoppage exists in illness. It is a new thought that all disease is a result of "STOPPAGE" in one or more areas of the body. Even death, that mysterious often feared finality, is nothing more than the cessation of vital physical existence.

 

Can we use this postulate? Is it workable, and does it lead to the resolution of all non-optimum physical problems? The answer is "YES!", as long as the mental and spiritual STRESS factors are addressed, for man IS a holistic composite of Spirit, Mind and Body.

 

Wherever there is blockage, "Stoppage" will also be found, however, blockage is not always encountered where there is "Stoppage". A good example of this is the individual who drinks 8 pots of coffee a day and who has annihilated his adrenal glands. The adrenals have simply ceased functioning (Stoppage) with no sign of blockage. Another excellent example would be the diabetic patient whose Islets of Langerhans in the Pancreas have degenerated and stopped working, creating the condition known as Diabetes Mellitus. The insulin production has stopped without any evidence of blockage.

Now, some Allopath has probably just exclaimed, "Hah! I’ve got him now. What about cases of Hyperthyroidism or Hyperglycemia where an organ has gone wild in overproduction?". Well - in my clinical studies, every case of hyperactivity in any organ was traced back to one or more "stoppages" and this rampant activity was an attempted compensation for the Stoppage.

 

The Resolution of the above two conditions would then be three fold. The first thing the former patient would have to do is knock off the coffee, and the latter would have to cease all white sugar (the major culprit behind pancreatic degeneration). Secondly, a healthy nutritional program, combined with Bio-chemical supplements (vitamins, herbs, etc.), and a good effective schedule of rest and exercise should be used to rebuild the dysfunctioning organs. Lastly, the stress connected with these diseases must be isolated and relieved.

What an absolutely beautiful, uncomplicated solution, one simply starts that which has stopped.

 

The only other pertinent factor to be considered before discussing recipes, formulae and cures is motivation. It appears that man is motivated by two components not necessarily of comparable magnitude, and yet bound together inseparably. These two items are Pleasure and Pain and even though the study of them properly belongs in the field of mental health, they are briefly mentioned here to point out a single fact. The overindulgence of a pleasure can lead to pain. Thus is told the story of the chocoholic, the soda-pop fanatic, the alcoholic, the glutton, and the promiscuous man or woman whose very existence becomes a wreck on the shoals of life. It would be easy here to side track into spiritual and mental stress, as the handling of these are vital to good health, however they are not the main focus of this thesis and are carefully covered elsewhere by others.

 

"There are no incurable diseases!"

Dr. John R. Christopher N.D.

What a statement Doctor Christopher makes!

 

Let us look at the corollary. ALL DISEASE IS CURABLE! Phew! This is even stronger, but is it true? And, why stop here?

The following are the postulated Axioms of Naturopathy:

 

The Axioms of Naturopathy

 

 

Man is a composite of Spirit, Mind and Body.

The Spirit of Man is senior to his Mind which is senior to his Body.

The Spirit alone may heal the Mind and Body.

 

Corollary: The Mind by itself cannot heal itself, and requires effort on the part of the Spirit

Corollary: The Body by itself cannot heal itself, and requires effort by the Spirit and Mind.

All disease (Spiritual, Mental or Physical) is STOPPAGE brought about by STRESS.

ALL DISEASE IS CURABLE.

 

Corollary: Even though all disease is curable, some people are not. It is sometimes extremely difficult convincing some people to survive.

Corollary: Many people wish to survive. (The Positive)

 

 

Corollary: Some people actually wish to succumb and die. (The Negative)

Corollary: Those who wish to survive are penalized by being connected to those who wish to succumb.

Corollary: Those who wish to succumb benefit (survival wise) by being connected to those who wish to survive.

Corollary: STRESS which then causes STOPPAGE is created by the actions of Negative people.

Corollary: The Positive who wish to survive optimally should either handle those in their lives who are Negative by educating and bringing them over to operating positively, or failing that, disconnecting from them altogether as quickly as possible.

A state of optimum health is positive and is the natural order of existence.

 

Corollary: A diseased condition as created by the individual himself is negative and unnatural.

A healthy human being is an ethical human being.

Optimum health and homeostasis is brought about by:

 

 

Ethical conduct

The introduction of high quality organic nutrition

Proper Bio-chemical supplements, and

A good exercise and sufficient rest schedule.

A paragon is not only surviving well himself, but is also actively contributing to the optimum survival of his family, his groups and all mankind. He knows full well that he is responsible for his brothers and is also very concerned with the ecological welfare of the planet.

 

This list is probably far from complete, and as time goes by the author hopes to fill in any gaps that become readily apparent. The immediate questions raised are:

 

Are these axioms true?

Can they be used to resolve all physical illness?

 

Several years of study and application and five years of clinical practice (running many patients on personal health programs) have shown them to be invariably accurate one hundred percent of the time. There were no exceptions, the only areas of failure existed solely where one or more of the above points were out.

 

"Every object on earth has a certain vibrational frequency that can destroy it completely, cause it to fly apart. Opera singers can break wine glasses by hitting high notes, marching soldiers break step when crossing a bridge to avoid damaging it structurally. A plucked string on one guitar can cause the string on another guitar a few feet away to start vibrating. Is it so strange to think that a disease would have a certain VIBRATION?

Dr. Bernard Jensen Ph.D.

from his book

"The Chemistry of Man"

What an absolutely brilliant observation! What a completely beautiful question does Dr. Jensen pose at the end of that quotation. For wherever there is complete STOPPAGE, there is absolutely NO VIBRATION! NONE! Wherever there is only partial stoppage in the body, there will be found to be a very poor vibration at a low amplitude (loudness).

 

Oh, there is molecular vibration (temperature) for without that the object would cease to exist in a condition of absolute zero. But the organ which is experiencing stoppage or partial stoppage has ceased to vibrate at its particular unique or optimum frequency. The big million dollar question is: How do we get an organ that has stopped functioning (vibrating) to start operating again?

 

The example of the two guitars given above by Dr. Jensen holds the key. If these two guitars are set facing each other and the lower "E" string is plucked on one of the guitars, the "E" string on the second guitar will start to vibrate and will continue to resonate long after the strings on the first guitar have been muted. This is called "sympathetic vibration". Even if the guitars are not in tune with each other, that second guitar will resonate with the harmonics communicated by the first guitar. What an amazing datum, for herein lies the resolution of any problem posed by stoppage.

 

Usually when one thinks of vibration one is immediately concerned with the subject of "sound", or in other words something one can "hear", and this fact alone is the probable reason research in this area in the past has gone no where, or has not led to a final technology which is uniformly workable. Even Doc Jensen, after sensing and stating the above axiom let the matter drop by his own admission and proceeded no further with personal research in this area, and yet the final answer was no more than an arms length away from him.

 

This observation is in no way intended as opprobrious of Dr. Bernard Jensen or his work, for his contributions to mankind are stellar, and place him far above any possible criticism. According to Dr. Richard Schulze (a personal student of Dr. Jensen), he was told to "Take what I have done and carry it forward", and this injunction is exactly what this author has accomplished.

 

There’s no attempt here to blow my own horn, but if there is one ability that separates me from others who have gone before, it is that ability gained from over 35 years of philosophical study to use the Socratic method of taking a thesis already propounded and quickly perceive the antithesis and arrive at a synthesis.

A physical disease is always indicative of one or more organs not vibrating at optimum frequency or having ceased vibrating all together. The solution to the disease is to create either an external or internal vibration which will then create a sympathetic vibration in the organ that has ceased functioning or vibrating optimally. All organs vibrate at a frequency below the sound level heard by the human ear, and this fact alone probably explains why this solution has been overlooked by previous researchers

I feel the following website is useful for people suffering from Osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is largely down to the overuse of

antibiotics that deplete the GIT of its flora and

fauna which assist the digestion of Calcium.

 

The thyroid keeps track of the calcium levels in the

bloodstream. When the levels drop the gland issues a

message to the stomach " draw more calcium from the

passing flow "

 

When the micro organisms that follow this order have

been decimated by antibiotics , the body THEN draws

the amount required from its storage area --- the

skeleton !

 

Result osteoporosis CAUSED by antibiotics!!!.
