Guest guest Report post Posted December 18, 2007 Would people take a so called miracle Cancer cure if it was FDA approved for public? Hmmmm... I wouldn't. I guess I watch too many movies, the latest one being "I am Legend". As far as Vitamin D is concerned, I don't drink milk so any Vit D that I get, I get elsewhere. Kenneth T - Raven . ; . MedicalConspiracies@google ; . MedicalConspiracies@ ; . Paranormal_Research Saturday, December 15, 2007 3:05 PM Cancer The Vitamin D Newsletter January, 2008 The January newsletter is coming early as I will be out of touch for awhile. If you remember, the last newsletter was on preventing cancer, not treating it. Below is a sampling of the tragic emails the last newsletter generated: "Dr. Cannell, I was just diagnosed with breast cancer, how much vitamin D should I take?" "My mother has colon cancer, how much vitamin D should she take?" "I've had prostate cancer for four years, is there any reason to think vitamin D would help?" "Dr. Cannell, my son has leukemia, should I give him vitamin D?" It's one thing to talk about evidence vitamin D may prevent cancer but something quite different to discuss evidence vitamin D might help treat cancer. I used to think the answers to all the above questions were the same. Like anyone else, people with cancer should be screened for vitamin D deficiency and be treated if deficiency is present. Simple. However, it's not that simple. The real questions are, What are reasonable 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels for someone with a life-threatening cancer? How much vitamin D do they need to take to obtain such levels? Is there any evidence, of any kind, that vitamin D will help treat cancer? The risk/benefit analysis of taking vitamin D is quite different if you are in perfect health than if your life, or your child's life, is on the line. Remember, unlike cancer prevention, not one human randomized controlled trial exists showing vitamin D has a treatment effect on cancer. By treatment effect, I mean prolongs the lives of cancer patients. However, as I cited in my last newsletter, Dr. Philippe Autier of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and Dr. Sara Gandini of the European Institute of Oncology, performed a meta-analysis of 14 randomized controlled trials showing even low doses of vitamin D extend life but they looked at all-cause mortality, not just cancer (Arch Intern Med. 2007;167(16):1730-1737). However, some epidemiological studies indirectly address the treatment issue and are quite remarkable. The first are a series of discoveries by Professor Johan Moan, Department of Physics at the University of Oslo, with Dr. Alina Porojnicu as the lead author on most of the papers. Moan J, et al. Colon cancer: Prognosis for different latitudes, age groups and seasons in Norway. J Photochem Photobiol B. 2007 Sep 19 Lagunova Z, et al. Prostate cancer survival is dependent on season of diagnosis. Prostate. 2007 Sep 1;67(12):1362-70. Porojnicu AC, et al. Changes in risk of death from breast cancer with season and latitude: sun exposure and breast cancer survival in Norway. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2007 May;102(3):323-8. Porojnicu A, et al. Season of diagnosis is a predictor of cancer survival. Sun-induced vitamin D may be involved: a possible role of sun-induced Vitamin D. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 2007 Mar;103(3-5):675-8. Porojnicu AC, et al. Season of diagnosis is a prognostic factor in Hodgkin's lymphoma: a possible role of sun-induced vitamin D. Br J Cancer. 2005 Sep 5;93(5):571-4. Porojnicu AC, et al. Seasonal and geographical variations in lung cancer prognosis in Norway. Does Vitamin D from the sun play a role? Lung Cancer. 2007 Mar;55(3):263-70. What Professor Moan's group discovered, repeatedly, is quite simple, whether it be cancer of the breast, colon, prostate, lung, or a lymphoma. You live longer if your cancer is diagnosed in the summer. And it is not just Moan's group who has found this. A huge English study recently confirmed Moan's discovery.Lim HS, et al. Cancer survival is dependent on season of diagnosis and sunlight exposure. Int J Cancer. 2006 Oct 1;119(7):1530-6. What do these studies mean? Something about summer has a treatment effect on cancer. Whatever it is, you live longer if you are diagnosed in the summer but die sooner if you are diagnosed in the winter. What could it be about summer? Exercise? Fresh air? Melatonin? Sunlight? Pretty girls? Remember, these patients already had cancer. Whatever it is about summer, it is not a preventative effect that Professor Moan discovered, it is a treatment effect. Something about summer prolongs the life of cancer patients. Dr. Ying Zhou, a research fellow, working with Professor David Christiani at the Harvard School of Public Health, went one step further. The stuffy Harvard researchers assumed summer worked its magic, not by pretty girls, but by summer sunlight making vitamin D. So they looked at total vitamin D input, from both sun and diet, to see if high vitamin D input improved the survival of cancer patients. Yes, indeed, remarkably. They found that early stage lung cancer patients with the highest vitamin D input (from summer season and high intake from diet) lived almost three times longer than patients with the lowest input (winter season and low intake from diet). Three times longer is a huge treatment effect, a treatment effect that most conventional cancer treatment methods would die for. Zhou W, Vitamin D is associated with improved survival in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2005 Oct;14(10):2303-9. And that's not all, Marianne Berwick and her colleagues, at the New Mexico Cancer Institute, found malignant melanoma patients with evidence of continued sun exposure had a 60% mortality reduction compared to patients who did not. That implies a robust treatment effect from sunlight.Berwick M, et al. Sun exposure and mortality from melanoma. J Natl Cancer Inst. 2005 Feb 2;97(3):195-9.I will not list the thousands of animal studies that indicate vitamin D has a treatment effect on cancer as almost all of them studied activated vitamin D or its analogs, drugs that bypass normal regulatory mechanisms, cannot get autocrine quantities of the hormone into the cell, and that often cause hypercalcemia. However, Michael Holick's group found that simple vitamin D deficiency made cancers grow faster in mice. That is, vitamin D has a cancer treatment effect in vitamin D deficient mice. Professor Gary Schwartz, at Wake Forest, recently reviewed the reasons to think that vitamin D may have a treatment effect in cancer. Tangpricha V, et al. Vitamin D deficiency enhances the growth of MC-26 colon cancer xenografts in Balb/c mice. J Nutr. 2005 Oct;135(10):2350-4. Schwartz GG, Skinner HG. Vitamin D status and cancer: new insights. Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2007 Jan;10(1):6-11. Finally, one human interventional study exists. In 2005, in an open trial, Professor Reinhold Vieth and his colleagues found just 2,000 IU of vitamin D per day had a positive effect on PSA levels in men with prostate cancer. Woo TC, et al. Pilot study: potential role of vitamin D (Cholecalciferol) in patients with PSA relapse after definitive therapy. Nutr Cancer. 2005;51(1):32-6. So we come back to the crucial question. If you have cancer, how much vitamin D should you take, or, more precisely, what 25(OH)D level should you maintain? We don't know. You can correctly say that definitive studies have not been done and, incorrectly, conclude physicians treating cancer patients should do nothing. I say incorrectly because standards of medical practice have always demanded that doctors make reasonable decisions based on what is currently known, doing a risk/benefit analysis along the way to decide what is best for their patients based on what is known today. If a patient has a potentially fatal cancer, the doctor cannot dismiss a relatively benign potential treatment modality just because definitive studies have not been done, and passively watch his patient die. Standards of care require doctors consider what is known now, using information currently available, perform a risk/benefit analysis, and then act in the best interest of their patient. Luckily, such doctors recently obtained some guidance. In the first study of its kind, Professor Bruce Hollis of the Medical University of South Carolina gave all of us something to think about. He asked and answered a simple question: How much vitamin D do you have to take to normalize the metabolism of vitamin D? Remember, unlike other steroid hormones, vitamin D has very unusual metabolism in most modern humans, called first-order, mass action, kinetics. All this means is that the more vitamin D you take, the higher the 25(OH)D level in your blood, and the higher the 25(OH)D level in your blood, the higher the levels of activated vitamin D in your tissues. No other steroid hormone in the body behaves like this. Think about it, would you like your estrogen level to be dependent on how much cholesterol you ate? Or your cortisol level? (I'd ask the same about testosterone levels but I know men well enough not to ask.) No, the body must tightly regulate powerful steroid hormones through substrate inhibition, that is, if an enzyme turns A into B, when the body has enough B, B inhibits the enzyme and so limits its own production. Not so with vitamin D, at least at modern human vitamin D levels. Professor Reinhold Vieth was the first to write about this and Vieth's Chapter 61 in Feldman, Pike, and Glorieux's wonderful textbook, Vitamin D (Elsevier, 2005, second edition), is a great reason to buy the textbook or have your library do so. [ I'm glad to see Amazon is out of stock of the new ones (someone must be reading about vitamin D) but you can still buy used editions.) Why would the kinetics of vitamin D be different from all other steroids? Maybe they are not, Hollis reasoned, like Vieth before him. Maybe vitamin D levels are so low in modern humans that its metabolic system is on full blast all the time in an attempt to give the body all the vitamin D metabolites it craves. So Hollis asked, Is vitamin D's metabolism different in populations in the upper end of 25(OH)D levels (a population of sun-exposed people and a group of women prescribed 7,000 IU per day)? Note, the Hollis study is free on Medline, you can download the entire paper on the right hand of the PubMed page below. Hollis BW, et al. Circulating vitamin D3 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D in humans: An important tool to define adequate nutritional vitamin D status. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 2007 Mar;103(3-5):631-4. If you look at the two graphs, Figures 1 and 2 of Hollis' paper, you find vitamin D's kinetics can be normalized, made just like all other steroid hormones in the body, but you have to get enough sunshine or take enough vitamin D to get your 25(OH)D level above 50 ng/ml, and 60 ng/ml would be better. Then your body starts to store cholecalciferol in the body without much further increase in 25(OH)D levels. The reaction becomes saturable. This is a remarkable discovery and it implies levels of 30 and 40 ng/ml are usually not sufficient. It also implies actual vitamin D levels (cholecalciferol levels), not just 25(OH)D levels, may be useful in diagnosing and treating deficiency. Note, that not all of the sun-exposed individuals or women prescribed 7,000 IU/day achieved such levels. That's because the sun-exposed individuals were tested after an Hawaiian winter and because prescribing and taking are two different things. So my answer to "How much should I take if I have cancer?" is "Take enough to get your 25(OH)D level above 60 ng/ml, summer and winter." In doing so, you will have normalized the kinetics of vitamin D and stored the parent compound, cholecalciferol, in your tissues. In the absence of sunshine, you need to take about 1,000 IU/day per 30 pounds of body weight to do this. A 150 pound cancer patient may need to take 5,000 IU per day, a 210 pound cancer patient about 7,000 IU per day, all this in the absence of sunlight. And this may not be enough; cancer patients may use it up faster (increased metabolic clearance) and children may do the same due to their young and vital enzymes. Or you may need less, because you get more sun than you think, more from your diet, or because you are taking a modern medicine that interferes with the metabolism of vitamin D. An even easier way to do it is go to a sun tanning booth every day and obtain and keep a dark, full-body, tan. Then you don't have to worry about blood levels but I'd get one anyway, just to be sure it was above 60 ng/ml. Given what Hollis discovered, given the well-known potent anti-cancer properties of activated vitamin D, given epidemiological evidence that summer extends the life of cancer patients, given a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials showed that vitamin D prolongs life, given animal data that simple vitamin D has a treatment effect on cancer, and given a patient with a life-threatening cancer, what would a reasonable physician do? Simply let their patient die while muttering something about the lack of randomized controlled trials? No, they would simply check a 25(OH)D level every month and advise cancer patients to take enough vitamin D or frequent sun tanning parlors enough to keep their level above 60 ng/ml. Toxicity does not start until levels reach 150 ng/ml but if you take more than 2,000 IU per day have your doctor order a blood calcium every month or two along with the 25(OH)D. Both you and he will feel better and because if you have cancer, you are probably taking lots of other drugs and little is known about how modern drugs interact with vitamin D metabolism. By getting your level above 60 ng/ml, all you are doing is getting your level to where most lifeguards' levels are at the end of summer, to levels our ancestors had when they lived in the sun, to levels regular users of sun-tan parlors levels achieve, and most importantly, to levels where vitamin D's pharmacokinetics are normalized. In the end, if you have cancer and your physician won't do a risk/benefit analysis, do it yourself. The risk side of that equation is easy. Both Quest Diagnostics and Lab-Corp, the two largest reference labs in the USA, report the upper limit of 25(OH)D normal is 100 ng/ml and toxic is above 150 ng/ml, so 60 ng/ml is well below both. The reason levels up to 100 ng/ml are published normals is because there is no credible evidence in the literature that levels of 100 ng/ml do any harm and because sun worshipers often have such levels. (If you don't believe me, go to the beach in the summer for one month, sunbath every day for 30 minutes on each side in your bathing suit, and go home and have a 25(OH)D level.) By getting your level above 60 ng/ml, all you are doing is getting your levels into the mid to upper range of laboratory reference normals. Little or no risk. What are the potential benefits? It probably depends on a number of things. Did your cancer cells retain the enzyme that activates vitamin D? Many do. Did your cancer cells retain the vitamin D receptor? Many do. If your cancer cells get more substrate [25(OH)D], will that substrate induce the cancer cells to make more vitamin D receptors or more of the activating enzyme? Some cancer cells do both. In practical terms, vitamin D is theoretically more likely to help your cancer the earlier you start taking it. However, no one knows. Certainly there is no reason, other than bad medicine, for cancer patients to die vitamin D deficient. Unfortunately, most do. Tangpricha V, et al. Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients attending an outpatient cancer care clinic in Boston. Endocr Pract. 2004 May-Jun;10(3):292-3.Plant AS, Tisman G. Frequency of combined deficiencies of vitamin D and holotranscobalamin in cancer patients. Nutr Cancer. 2006;56(2):143-8. It is very important that readers understand I am not suggesting vitamin D cures cancer or that it replace standard cancer treatment. Oncologists perform miracles every day. Do what they say. The only exception is vitamin D. If your oncologist tells you not to take vitamin D, ask him three questions. 1) How do you convert ng/mls to nmol/Ls? How many IU in a nonogram? 3) How do you spell "cholecalciferol?" If he doesn't know how to measure it, weigh it, or spell it, chances are he doesn't know much about it. All of the epidemiological and animal studies in the literature suggest cancer patients will prolong their lives if they take vitamin D. I can't find any studies that indicate otherwise. However, none of the suggestive studies are randomized controlled interventional trials; they are all epidemiological or animal studies, or, in the case of Vieth's, an open human study. However, if you have cancer, or your child does, do you want to wait the decades it will take for the American Cancer Society to fund randomized controlled trials using the proper dose of vitamin D? Chances are you, or your child, will not be around to see the results.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 5, 2008 From Dr. Mercola Fungus Causing Cancer -- A Novel Approach to the Most Common Form of Death Cancer is now the leading cause of death in the United States. This video featuring Doug Kaufman interviewing Italian Oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini, details a new theory of cancer that carries the promise of a safe, speedy, and effective cancer cure. A Safe, Easy Way to Cleanse Your Body from Toxins* The first step, PURIFY, aids the liver in normal detoxification.* Second step, CAPTURE, involves trapping and binding toxins that are secreted by your liver.* Third step is REMOVE, where toxins are gently removed from your body.* Because Perfect CleanseT is gentle; you can maintain your daily routine at school, work or home without any disruption. * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Find Out More Dr. Mercola's Comments: Cancer, which surpassed heart disease as the number one killer in America in 2005, is still considered " a mystery " in conventional medicine. In fact, the term " cancer " is just a generic term that in no way describes its cause. In this video, Doug Kaufman - a longtime proponent of the influence of fungi in human disease -- interviews the Italian oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini -- author of Cancer is a Fungus -- who shares fascinating new information about what he believes is the root of all cancers: fungi, and discusses a radically different path for curing cancer; sometimes in as little as a few days. Conventional Cancer Treatments - Ineffective and Dangerous " Cures " Currently, if you are diagnosed with cancer, especially in the U.S., you are given three options: Surgery Chemotherapy Radiation However, as mentioned in this video, finding actual statistics on the effectiveness of these treatments is very difficult. You'd think if something is the best medicine has to offer, they'd be more than happy to share their level of success. Most people are given a 50/50 chance of dying from cancer, in general. And conventional treatments are touted as your best shot at surviving. But is it true? According to Dr. Simoncini's website, polls and questionnaires show that a full 75 percent of doctors say they'd refuse chemotherapy if they were struck with cancer due to its ineffectiveness and its devastating side effects. Many doctors have spoken out about it, yet their voices are still ignored. For example, Dr. Allen Levin, MD, author of The Healing of Cancer, has said, " The majority of the cancer patients in this country die because of chemotherapy, which does not cure breast, colon or lung cancer. This has been documented for over a decade and nevertheless doctors still utilize chemotherapy to fight these tumors. " Professor Gorge Mathe similarly stated, " If I were to contract cancer, I would never turn to a certain standard for the therapy of this disease. Cancer patients who stay away from these centers have some chance to make it. " So, how effective is chemotherapy? There is at least one study that I know of that addresses this very question. Published in the journal Clinical Oncology in December 2004, the results of this study were astounding, showing that chemotherapy has an average 5-year survival success rate of just over 2 percent for all cancers! In the U.S., chemo was most successful in treating testicular cancer and Hodgkin's disease, where its success rate fell just below 38 percent and slightly over 40 percent respectively. Still well below the 50/50 mark. A review of chemo on 5-year survival rates in Australia garnered almost identical results, with a 2.3 percent success rate, compared to the U.S. 2.1 percent rate of success. And yet this is the best that conventional medicine has up its sleeve for treating this widespread killer. What Causes Cancer? Conventional medicine likes to focus on the impact of genetics as a causative agent in developing cancer, despite the fact that research indicates that genetics is not the main cause of this widespread phenomenon, even though it may play a small role in some people. Unfortunately, little attention is paid to the impact of plain and simple infections. Dr. Simoncini's research has led him to believe that something as simple as a fungus, Candida, is the leading cause of cancer; that cancer itself is in fact a fungus. What we refer to as a tumor, is nothing more than your body's attempt at protecting itself from that fungus. He brings up an analogy between psoriasis - an " incurable " disease of the skin that many treat as a fungus - and tumors, which are also an " incurable " disease of your body. Several studies have linked the presence of Candida with cancer, showing that anywhere between 79 to 97 percent of all cancer patients also have Candida. Dr. Simoncini's explanation for how this phenomenon works - how Candida leads to deadly cancer - is that it's a consequence of the weakening and exhaustion of your organs, and eventually your entire body, in the following stages: Candida roots itself in your deep connective tissue in various organs As a result, this evokes an organic defensive reaction as the connective tissue of your invaded organ attempts to encyst the fungin colonies through cellular hyper-production, which results in the formation of tumors Growths continue as the fungi spreads, both in your surrounding tissue, and remotely (aka " metastatis " ). It is still always the same Candida attacking different tissues, but due to its highly adaptive qualities it is able to mutate to adapt itself to whatever environment it finds itself in, hence the various types of tumors Your body becomes progressively more exhausted, which allows the fungi to spread and take over more rapidly You die from " cancer " If Cancer is a Fungus, Then What is the Cure? In the video, Dr. Simoncini shows actual before-and-after footage of both bronchial cancer and colon cancer. Four days after his revolutionary and mind-blowingly simple treatment for bronchial cancer with a sodium bicarbonate and water flush, the tumors are gone. Sodium bicarbonate, a.k.a baking soda, is the most potent anti-fungal substance there is. The problem with anti-fungal drugs, however, is that fungi are extremely adaptive, and can adapt to a new environment in three to four days. This renders anti-fungal drugs largely ineffective. The fungi do not adapt to the baking soda, but it is far more difficult to use as it needs to be injected directly into the tumor; swallowing the baking soda would not work at all. Candida yeast is not " one shared element, " so to speak, but rather " social elements, " or colonies, that are highly communicative. Because of their unique adaptation skills, sodium bicarbonate must be administered directly onto the tumor, and in so doing changing its ph very quickly, from acid to alkaline, which quickly and effectively kills off the yeast before it has time to adapt. For example, Dr. Simoncini's experience has shown that 99 percent of breast- and bladder cancer can heal in just six days, entirely without the use of surgery, chemo or radiation, using just a local infiltration device (such as a catheter) to deliver the sodium bicarbonate directly to the infected site in your breast tissue or bladder. Why the Baking Soda Cancer Cure is Not Available Everywhere Unfortunately, Dr. Simoncini is yet another brilliant doctor who has been ousted from the medical community due to his revolutionary simple ideas of how to cure profit-making diseases. So many people refuse to believe that this is true and that it's happening to good doctors, since " everyone knows " you must be a liability to human life if you're stripped of your medical license. But the reason why Dr. Simoncini was kicked out is because as an oncologist - a cancer specialist -- he refused to use conventional cancer treatment methods, choosing instead to administer sodium bicarbonate, which is HARMLESS, as opposed to the often lethal use of chemotherapy. His lawyers have recently started a rehabilitation court trial at the International Court of Justice in Strassburg to have him reinstated. Preventive Measures - Combating Candida If the cause of cancer is the Candida fungus, then what is the root cause of the fungi? And how can you tell you might have too much yeast in your body, which might eventually lead to the formation of cancer? A good sign that Candida is on the loose is feeling " run down " and developing a craving for sugars and carbohydrates, as this is the main fuel for the growing amounts of yeast in your intestine. The more sugar and grains you eat, the more the yeast grows out of control. Eventually, this will weaken your immune system, which in turn can allow it to infiltrate various other organs. This imbalance in intestinal flora, sometimes called dysbiosis, can also lead to other more common, and less lethal, health problems, such as: Vaginitis Irritable bowel syndrome Weight gain Food allergies Migraines Asthma Depression Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia There are 79 different toxins released by the metabolism and die-off of Candida. This is why people with yeast overgrowth often feel so lousy; the Candida toxins are regularly entering their bloodstream. Two of these toxins, alcohol and acetaldehyde (the breakdown product of alcohol that causes hangovers), are in such high amounts in people with chronic yeast problems that you may actually end up feeling " drunk. " Acetaldehyde also reacts with the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is why people with yeast overgrowth often experience mental and emotional disturbances such as anxiety, depression, poor concentration, and feeling spaced-out. How to Cure a Yeast Overgrowth For more on Candida and holistic treatment options, I recommend you review my previous article, Holistic Treatment for Candida Infection. The highlights of the treatments for yeast overgrowth include: The Right Diet and Exercise -- A diet rich in meats, chicken, eggs, seeds and nuts, vegetables, and healthy oils (free range and organic) -- while avoiding sugars and carbohydrate-rich foods -- will restrict the amount of fuel the yeast in your intestine has available to it. I would add to this to make your diet in tune with your nutritional type. Once you've started on the diet, exercising will begin to rebalance the levels of neurotransmitters in your brain and improve your mood. One of the elements of diet that does seem counter intuitive is the absolute restriction of even fruits when one is seeking to eliminate yeast, as even the tiniest amounts of sugar seem to worsen this condition. Getting Plenty of Good Bacteria -- You will want to increase your probiotic (good bacteria) intake with a high-quality probiotic supplement or by eating cultured and fermented foods, such as natto. These contain the good bacteria that keep your vagina and gastrointestinal tract healthy and will ultimately replace the Candida. Avoiding Exposure to Chemicals -- Paints, household cleaners, perfumes and scents may cause allergic reactions, and chemical sensitivities are very common in people with yeast overgrowth. Addressing Emotional and Psychological Issues -- Food cravings, especially those for sweets, often are exacerbated by emotional dependencies. Tools like the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) can help you to overcome unhealthy food cravings and other emotional hurdles. For even more information on simple lifestyle changes that can virtually eliminate your risk of cancer, please review the Related Articles below.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 15, 2009 I like the late Dr. Kelly quite a bit. When you say local in Texas I assume you are talking about Dr. Gonzalez. Dr. Kelly did not have a very high regard for Dr. Gonzalez and I have some reservations of my own. My suggestion would be to include the pancreatic enzymes and good advice of Kelly's but to not rush off to the Gonzalez clinic. oleander soup , "jackdaw123" <jackdaw123 wrote:>> I would like some opinions on this.

And we're> talking. in terms of diabetes, first. Let's go into the history of> diabetes. In all the history of the world up until about 1918 when a> person developed a gangrenous foot or a gangrenous hand or had> problems in this area healing, or had a bad injury that wouldn't heal> and so forth, then the doctor said "Well, you've got diabetes". And> they'd cut off a leg or a foot or an arm or something and say, "well,> you're cured of your diabetes", and this isn't true. Finally, it> dawned on them around the early 1900's that diabetes was a systemic> disease. Up until this time you'd go into the doctor's office and> you'd say "Well, what can I eat?" And he'd say, "Well, it doesn't make> any difference". "Just eat whatever you want to". And; of course, we> know better than that now. Almost all, an overwhelming amount of> diabetes is> controlled by diet alone.> This is the same developmental level we are on at the present time in> cancer. We go to the doctor now and when we say "what's wrong with me,> "why do I feel so bad?" Finally in a year or two they find out why.> You have cancer. So they cut it out. So you say, "Well doctor, what> can I eat?" Well it doesn't make any difference. "Eat anything you> want to. Eat a lot of meat and stuff and it'll be real good for you.> All the nutritionists have repeated the medical data, like Adele> Davis, (who has done a beautiful job and she is a wonderful person and> a good friend) but these people just don't know what they're talking> about. It would be just as bad if you go to the doctor with a good> diabetic condition and he'd say, "Well, you've just got to eat more> sugar, you just need it, you're deficient in sugar. You've got to eat> more and more sugar". Well, it just doesn't work. So now what I'm> trying to say is this. Diabetes is the inability of the body to metabolize> properly, sugars and carbohydrates. Cancer is nothing more than the> very simple inability of the body to metabolize proteins properly. And> that's all cancer is. And no matter how much you want to think of it> in other terms, you're going to eventually have to come back to the> concept that cancer is nothing more than the inability of the body to> metabolize proteins. It's a systemic condition. It will not under any> wildest imagination that you can contrive, this tumor or lump that> you've formed or that develops in your body is not cancer. It is a> cancerous tumor and is not the condition called cancer, any more than> a gangrenous foot is diabetes. It's just the result of a diabetic> condition. And the tumor mass or glob or lump you have in your breast> or in your prostate or in your stomach or under your skin or anything> is nothing more than the end result of a general systemic condition---> --the inability of the body to metablize protein properly.> Now we want to know what causes this condition. And this is simply a> failure of the body chemistry or an upsetting of the body chemistry> and this is most frequently or can most easily be orientated around> the function of the pancreas. The pancreas is the body's natural> defense against a malignant condition. It is the area in which we> produce enzymes which metabolize our foods. Particularly proteins. And> so we go into what fails in relationship to the pancreas. The pancreas> fails and after the pancreas fails, usually it's between 8 to 18> months after the pancreas falls to function properly that you develop> a little tiny cancer cell in your body and then this starts growing,> the tumor. You shouldn't say cancer cell, you should say tumor mass> but most of us think in terms of cancer. But the tumor begins by one> little cell developing.> This grows for approximately 39 months before it becomes large enough> for your physician to clinically find it. And then when that happens> he says, "well, you've got cancer". But you've had cancer for about 5> years before he can find it. Occasionally you have a real rapid> growing tumor and it nay he a year before they can clinically find it.> A fast growing tumor or we should say a cancerous condition where your> pancreas really fails real rapidly and you have a complete failure of> the pancreas and then you develop a malignant condition rather> rapidly. Generally most, or the largest percentage of our, malignant> conditions or tumor masses develop over a long period of tine.> Sometimes they'll grow and sometimes they'll recede. It depends on the> diet. There are occasionally times that the tumor mass will grow for a> while and then you change your diet and then it'll dissolve for a> while. Some people, on and off, have had cancer develop and recede,> develop> and recede, for several years, say 10 or 20 years. Which is normal,> too. Which rather substantiates our theory or our basic concept that> cancer is nothing but a systemic malfunction of the protein metabolism.> Now, what happens. There's about five basic things in relation that> happen in the body whenever you fail in your protein metabolism or the> pancreatic failure. One is the over intake of too much protein in the> body. This is the first thing that happens in our American society. In> Africa and in India they had very little cancer until the Americans> came during World War II and introduced peanuts and other high> concentrated proteins. We felt so sorry for those people over there.> We introduced great concentrated protein diet of mostly peanuts and> other products but mostly peanuts. And since their diet has been> changed, of course, their incidence of cancer is much greater.> And so what happens? Let me describe the typical beautiful cancer> developmental person in his early stages. He's a person, he or she,> that gets up about 6 o'clock in the morning. This person drinks lots> of milk, stretches a little bit, puts on their jogging clothes or> takes some bending exercises or jogs around the block. He comes back> in and eats ham and eggs for breakfast. He goes down to the office to> work and gets into the office and about 10 o'clock he's completely> fagged. He has a loss of energy, tired. So he gets a package of> peanuts and eats those. For lunch, on Monday he goes down to the Lyons> Club and eats roast beef. On Tuesday he goes down to the Kawanis Club> and eats roast beef. On wednesday, he goes to the Rlotary Club and> eats roast beef. On Thursday and Friday, the same routine, he goes to> some club and eats roast beef. Well now he's gotten along pretty good> in society end makes enough income that he can afford to be up in the> world. He> comes home and demands a steak or at least a half a pound of ground> meat of some kind for dinner. And he eats this, which is good. And> finally he tosses the baby up \in the air and plays with him for a> minute and then flops over on the couch and somebody turn on the idiot> box in front of him to entertain him for a little while. He sits there> and reads or watches the idiot box for a while then, along abut 9:30> he says, "Oh gosh, I'm so hungry. I've got to have something to eat".> He demands the wife to run out and get him a big bowl of chocolate ice> cream. He eats that and goes on and dozes on and off between the late> shows. Finally along about midnight, he'll get up and has I peanut> butter sandwich or a ham sandwich and another glass of milk and goes> to bed.> Well, this is typical. And if this man had three pancreas, there's no> way on earth that he could possibly digest all the protein, the junk> that he puts down his intestinal tract. So what does he do? The> symptoms are that he starts belching a lot of gas. He starts passing a> lot of gas, until it runs through the house like a puffing 1870 Steam> engine, and making about as much steam. And so we find that this is> one of the very early signs of a malignant condition. We find that the> person just cannot handle the protein and their pancreas is totally> exhausted from trying to digest the junk that is put down the mouth.> And this just overworks the pancreas, exhausts it. And what happens in> a normal defense mechanism in a malignant condition, the person eats a> reasonable amount of protein and the pancreatic enzyme secretes into> the small intestine and it digests that. There's plenty of pancreatic> enzyme left over that goes back into the blood stream, finds its> way into the body, and when it gets into the body it attacks any> cancer cells that happen to be forming that day.> The next most frequent cause of malignant conditions or failure of the> pancrease function, so forth, is probably the mineral metabolism in> our diet. Probably one of the best examples of this was a beautiful> soul, a man in our area, that came in one time. He had cancer so bad> in his chest, and through his heart and lungs that he could not> possibly live. He had probably, at most, two months to live. He was a> veteran. The Veteran's Administration would not even use cobalt on him> he was so bad. They said it was no use wasting cobalt on you, you're> so bad. So he said, "What am I going to do? I've got a real problem."> I saw his left side and it was quite enlarged and, there, he had his> pancreas greatly enlarged. I thought this guy's got a real pancreatic> tumor. And so we ran our little evaluation tests on him and we found> that his pancreas was not infected with malignant condition, that it> was enlarged because the body knew that it had to defend itself and> so it was producing about 3 times what he average pancreas would> produce in enzymes to destroy the tumor mass.

I said, "Well, the only> thing I know to do (we were really so poor that we couldn't afford to> give him any supplements) , the best thing for you to do is to go down> to the local place where we feed (and in Texas we have a lot of places> like this), and you go down and take a bucket or a fruit jar or> something that you can get out of somebody's back yard and get a quart> of black strap molasses and take a tablespoon of this, three times a> day". He said, "Well, doctor, I thought you'd give me some fancy pills> or something or some miracle cure. I said, "I'm giving you what you> need and I don't know anything about these miracle cures. That beyond> my comprehension. I don't have any rest machines or anything like> that". And so he did this.> In about three weeks he called me back and he said, "Oh doctor, you're> killing me". I said, "How's that?" He said, "Well, you know my> diabetes is so bad that I just can't stand this sugar and its making> me worse. And that makes my blood pressure so high that I just can't> stand it". I said. OK this is what you need. Now, you're very> fortunate because if we can kill you with diabetes or with high blood> pressure, then you don't have to suffer the death of cancer". He said,> "Well, you're not very sympathetic. " I said. "No, that's exactly what> you need". So he said, "OK" and he went on. I Said. "You can cut that> down from a tablespoon three times a day to a teaspoon three times a> day". In three months he called and said, "I just don't have the> cancer any more and don't have the high blood pressure any more and I> don't have the diabetes any more". And I said, "Well, that's good.> Wasn't that what you wanted?". He said, "That's what I came to get". I> said. "Well you got it now".> In order to get minerals into the body we must first have enough> hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid dissolves the minerals from> the food so that they may be absorbed. We are assuming of course, that> the food has minerals in it! We are assuming also that the food is> grown on good soil and that we are eating real---not synthetic---> foods. If we fail to have enough minerals in our diet, what happens?> The blood is going to maintain a mineral level so it must pull the> minerals out of the bone. In order to get a small amount of trace> minerals needed, there must be a great destruction of the bone. After> the bones are destroyed the excess Calcium is deposited end we have> arthritic conditions. The doctors should consider mineral metabolism> in their treatment of arthritic conditions.> But the body has to have the minerals to maintain life. It has to have> the protein to maintain life. So when this cancer victim starts into> the loss of pancreatic function, he not only absorbs the bone> structure to get minerals, he also absorbs the muscle structure to get> protein. You have to have a certain amount of blood protein. Your> blood protein has to be at a certain level in order to maintain life> or you just won't make it. If you don't get enough protein in your> intestinal tract through your diet, you're going to get it pulled out> of your muscles. And, therefore, you're dissolving your own muscle> system, you're dissolving your own bone system. This is a typical> cancer patient.> In the next most frequent cause of pancreatic failure, number three.,> here we find that we have blood clots that develop in the body,> various parts of the body. Whenever a blood clot develops in the> heart, we call it a heart attack. We get all the preferential> treatment in the world. We get to lay in bed for a month. We get> doctors running around and oxygen tents and all kinds of drugs and> things and attention of nurses. Even your neighbours will mow your> yard for you and everything. So this is really great. But whenever you> have a "heart attack" or a blood clot in the pancreas, what happens?> Well, you have a bad stomach-ache or stiffness in your left side there> a little bit. This blood clot easy have wiped out 10 to 70% of your> pancreas and you feel pretty lousy that night. The next morning you go> to the doctor. Unfortunately our medical world has not developed an> adequate pancreatic function test. So the doctor says, "you most have> gotten food poison> or you must have indigestion" . He treats you for both of them end> sends you home and lets you stay in bed the next day if you've got a> company with sick leave. If you don't, if you own your own business,> you go to work. And you don't think anymore about it. From that point> on whenever your pancreas falls, and you start your deterioration of> the protein metabolism in your body which eventually leads to a mass> or tumor that develops and is called cancer.> And the next most frequent cause of pancreatic failure is probably> emotional cause. You help the guy sitting in the office next to you or> studying for this next to you for the last 20 years, did a lot of his> work for him. Now comes promotion time. He has goofed off. You did his> work and your work too and the boss promotes him over you. And that> really upsets you. Just blows your mind, as the young people say. And> this blows something in your mind, blows a fuse or something.> Psychologically, it really wipes you out. So from that point on the> nerve impulses from the brain telling the pancreas to work and to> operate properly, well the message just doesn't get there. The> connection developed that should be working there is not working> anymore. Or the husband runs off with the secretary or something like> that. Her mother dies or the kid gets run over by a car or something> is such a shock to you it just really upsets you tremendously. It> upsets you physically> or psychosomatically. And these are some of the main basic causes of> failure of the pancreas.> Now after the pancreas fails you have this inability to get protein> into your blood stream through your intestinal tract. You get to the> point where you just crave protein. You just crave milk. It's just> unbelieveable how much you crave milk and meat and nuts because your> body knows that it need's the protein. No matter how much you put into> your mouth, none of its going to get into your blood stream. If we> assume everything is working, everything is functioning perfectly. You> grow your food on a beautiful soil and it has a lot of minerals, it's> -organically grown, no poisons...> By the way, the fifth failure of the, excuse me, I forgot the fifth> failure, of the pancreatic function is enzyme antagonists. These> antagonistic things are poisons DDT, malathion, aluminum, lead, any of> the pollutants we commonly think of in terms of what we're fighting> daily. The scientists discovered there is such a thing as ecology. Now> the politicians are getting in on the act. They're fleecing us more> and more of our own money to do more things to save us from pollution.> But pollution is a pretty significant thing in relation to cancer. An> enzyme is like a little key that goes in and it'll destroy or unlock> the cancer cells and metabolize the protein whether it's cancer cells> or its beef steak, it'll do the same thing. These enzymes,> molecularly, have free-end radicals, and each little free-end radical> gets stopped up with these poisons and pollutants that we have in our> society now. This makes them very ineffective. It's like, if you had a> key to> your front door and it doesn't fit the key to my front door. There's> an enzyme that fits the key to digest meat proteins and your cancer,> which it does. And say you lost the key to your house and you can't> get in, but in addition to that, if you have the key and you happen to> act a drop of solder on one of those little bumps on your key, then> you're not going to get into your house. You can try to fit that key> in your lock all day long and it's not going to work. And this is what> happens with the pollutants. It ties up the enzymes. It's like> dropping a bit of solder on your key, It ties up the enzyme so that it> will not be effective. It's like buying a brand new Cadillac without a> gasoline tank. It's all there and it looks nice, but it just doesn't> work. It needs all the parts and needs to be free to work properly. So> these are the five things that are in refernce to the, that are the> basic, and there are a lot of other little things that are, like .1%> and .01%o f the frequency and we've got lists and lists of things that> cause the pancreas to fail. But these are the primary things that> should be considered. Now, let's assume that a person has the food> that he takes into his body, grown on beautiful soil with a lot of> minerals, and so forth, and forget the toxin's. Then we take it and> put it into our mouth. First of all, we take it into the kitchen and> we mutilate it, we destroy it. This is the first hurdle we have to get> over. We go in and we process it in order to feed our massive> population. Even if we had good food, it's hard to get the good food> to each individual, particularly in an area like we've got here. So we> process it and put a lot of pollutants in it, and that's bad for you.> But even worse than that is that we cook it. And when we cook it, we> destroy the enzymes. We make it, maybe, softer, make carrots soft so> we can chew a little better, and so forth, but we've destroyed the> enzymes in> this.> Now, whenever you take a fruit or a vegetable and you see a bruised> spot on it, well you don't want to buy that. But this is the living> example, all the time, of enzymes working all the time. This is how we> ripen fruit, is through the enzyme action of the fruit. If you keep it> at a warm temperature, it's going to ripen faster. If you keep it at a> cold temperature, it won't. It's the action of the enzymes. And> whenever you push on a pear, you're going to have a little bruise spot> on it, or an orange or a banana or a carrot or anything else. What you> do whenever you mash or break the cell walls down, then you release> the enzymes in it, and it starts predigesting. So whenever you take> the food into your body, most of the food should be raw. You should> put it in your mouth and chew it 28 times like the book says. What> you're doing there is you're pre-digesting your food. Not with your> enzymes that's in your body. You're not depleting your body of enzymes but> you're utilizing the enzymes that are already on the fruit and already> on the vegetables. And whenever you get them working for you, you've> gotten a long ways down the line. You're starting to do something> constructively. And so we must chew this rood properly and release> their own enzymes. This goes down to the stomach, and there's the> stomach without any hydrochloric acid.> Well, why doesn't the hydrochloric acid work in the stomach? Why don't> we have any hydrochloric acid in the stomach? Well, two primary> reasons. We need the chlorine ion and… I'm not telling you anything> different than your doctor does and don't let anything I tell you...> you always have to clear it with your physician. And consider that> possibility. I mean, I'm just telling you some general principles and> each of your cases may be different. There are two things the whole> health food industry agrees on and the medical profession agrees on,> and they both agree on this one thing. And they're both wrong. And> that's no salt. They just get kind of uptight about salt. There's no> reason to get uptight about salt, it's a necessary thing. Don't> completely neglect salt. You have too much salt but you need enough.> So in order to have hydrochloric acid in the stomach you have to have> enough chloride ions in the body. And then, too, you must> psychologically, or> physiologically I should say, turn on the hydrochloric acid.> What do we do in our society? We go out and we eat a salad and we eat> it first at the meal. That tells the stomach and the hydrochloric acid> function to turn off. So turn off. So we don't need that, we're having> salad today. Or we're having fruit and we really need hydrochloric> acid particularly for that, right now. So it turns it off. You need> the hydrochloric acid mostly for meat and for the protein's. We eat> things backwards in our society. We should, when we go to the> restaurant, and they serve you a salad, set it aside and slap the> waiter's hand if he takes it away before he serve's you, and then eat> it after you eat the meat. Then eat your vegetables and stuff, which> would be the ideal way. Then you eat the meat first, why? It turn's on> your hydrochloric acid. However, if you're an ulcer prone person, it's> OK to eat your salad first. That cuts off the hydrochlorlic acid so> you don't get too much of it and that will help you along with ulcers. But> the vast majority of us don't have ulcers. Unless it's specifically a> regional thing. Maybe in New York City you do but in most of the> country, not everybody has ulcers. But you might consider that> possibility.> Now that you've got the food into your stomach with a good> hydrochloric acid supply, then it comes down into your small intestine> and here, really, this is where the whole factory blows up. You have> several factors in the small intestine. It is really significant.> First of all your pancreas has dumped a lot of enzymes into there, and> we assume that's right. Your liver has to dump a lot of digestive> juices, a lot of bile, and so forth. From the factors the liver dumps> into your intestinal tract, makes it alkaline. It gets bile and does> the fat metabolism. If you don't have a good liver, why then you have> a strike against you.> So now we need to balance, and get your liver working better. And this> is not too bad a job, but anyhow we must consider this possibility. We> must always have your liver working right. So you have a small> intestine that really is a beautiful machine and it has millions of> little finger-like projections out from the inside of the intestine,> and these little finger-like projections give a mass surface of many> miles of digestive capacity so that it absorbs. Inside this little,> villi finger-like, thing sticking out into the intestinal tract are> the blood vessel's where the food is absorbed and goes into the main> artery, goes into the liver, into the body to supply the body with> food. We've eaten so much milk that these little finger-like> projections into the intestinal tract have got mucus stacked about> this deep in there. There's nothing, short of dynamite, that can get> this mucus out of the way long enough for the food to get up here to these> finger-like projection's. So all these finger-like projection's are> just coated and filled with mucus. This is why we eat so much and> we're so hungry all the time. You take a big `ol fat girl and she is> starving to death. You look at her and say, "Why, that big `ol girl,> she ought to quit eating. She just eats like a hog! Sure she eats like> a hog. This finger down here is starving to death. It sends a message> up to the brain, "Give me something to eat, my God, give me something> to eat, for heaven's sake, I'm starving to death". After that turns> on, this poor lady eats and eats and eats and it goes down into the> intestinal tract, and what happens? Some of the water and a little bit> of the sugar trickles into these villi that's working there. She's> starved to death for minerals and proteins and vitamins. She lives on> a little bit of sugar and a whole lot of water. She's just stuffed> full of water and sugar.> Now you take a real skinny 'ol guy, and he is so skinny, he'd eat you> out of house and home, and he's still skinny. There's no way on earth> you can put weight on him. He's suffering from the same thing, he's> got so much mucus attached in there. This mucus is selective. On some> people, it only lets sugar go through, and on some people, only> protein. On this guy, it only lets protein go through or maybe a few> minerals, but mostly, just proteins. All he can assimilate is protein.> He can't assimilate any of the vitamins and minerals and> carbohydrates. He's starved to death. You say, "My God, he's got a> tape worm. It's bad enough to have one kid to feed, but to have one> kid with three tape worms is an impossible grocery bill."> But it coud be the mucus, because you've fed him milk all of his life,> and cottage cheese. Now cottage cheese and milk is so good, such a> good mucus builder that you can just kill yourself with it. And> Metracal is anther one, and all these things that you're trying to> reduce with. You eat more and more Metrecal, and this type of junk,> and this wipes you out. You can't absorb any food. So that's OK, you> just go around starving for the rest of your life. And then people> expect you to function good at work. Your husband expects you to feel> good all the time and you can't. It's impossible for you to starve to> death and feel good. The boss expects you to perform, and you can't do> it. The teacher expects you to perform at school, and you can't do> it...because you're starved to death. Basically, we're just starved to> death. There's great malnutrition in our nation, just unbelievable.> It's from many causes, but this is one.> So let's assume that, in some miracle way, barring dynamite, we can> get this mucus out of the intestinal tract. We can digest it off with> enzymes. And finally get this upper intestinal tract cleaned out. Now,> a lot of people say, "Well, I'm going to go home and take a lot of> colonics and enemas." Well, they won't ever get up to your small> intestines, so don't try that for this reason. Don't try to take> enough enemas to clean out your small intestinal tract, because you> can't do it. But you can digest this off with enzyme's. And let's> assume you've gotten that digested off. Now you've got a villi> sticking out here that's just coated with food and now it's ready to> absorb all this food. You've got a blood vessel inside that little> villi just circulating blood. Then you've got two primary factors> involved there that's keeping you from getting the food down here to> this little cell at the end of your finger. One is, this blood vessel> should be this> big around, say, and it's about that big around. You just barely get> anything through it. Most of this blood vessel is coated with white> sugar. You've eaten white sugar all your life and your body can't> utilize all that and it can't even store it all so it has to do> something. It can't even throw it off as waste, you've put so much> down from lemon meringue pie to chocolate eclairs. You've just jammed> your body with so much white sugar it has to store it somewhere. So it> store's it on the blood vessel and the blood vessel get smaller and> smaller and smaller, mixed up with cholesterol and other junk that you> eat. So you have a little tiny hole and your blood flow should be,> maybe, a gallon through this vessel in an hour, and maybe you get a> pint through there. And so that's a problem. The best way we've found> to clean up this blood vessel is just plain simple "Terribly> expensive", black strap molasses. If we could make it more expensive,> some way, why> people might utilize it more, but it's so cheap, black strap molasses> is so cheap that they won't ever use it. This sugar can be cleaned out> with this simple black strap molasses. Take a tablespoon in a cup of> hot water, twice a day, or three times a day, twice a day is adequate.> Now, you take grandma who's senile or grandpa, and you get them on> black strap molasses a couple of times a day, or three times a day,> and in about 6 month's they'll be sharper than you are and you'll have> to hustle to keep up with them. If you don't live with them, just make> the nursing home take care of that problem. Anyhow, they'll run> circles around you. At the nursing home, you can let them have the> black strap molasses. And so we get this blood vessel cleaned out. Now> you've got a big vessel there that's got plenty of freedom, but the> next factor involved, you just hate to drink water or anything. I> guess it is kind of dangerous to drink water anymore.> Your blood is so thick, that it just mopes through there like an old> tired horse. It just barely chugs through the blood vessels. Instead> of a gallon a minute going through there, maybe a pint a minute goes> through there, because it's just too slow. This is one of the big> factors in heart attacks. The blood is so thick, you're dehydrated> Your actual blood system is dehydrated. The best way to correct that> is also one of these terribly expensive things, and that is: you take> a third of a glass of juice, apple juice, pineapple, grapefruit,> carrot, any kind of juice, it doesn't make any difference, and> two-thirds of water, mix that up with a little bit of salt, an eighth> of a teaspoon, just put a little shake of salt into this and stir this> up. The salt and the juice solution will force so much liquid into the> blood stream and dilute the blood stream and get it back into a proper> volume. You need a good amount of volume in your blood stream. So now> you get the volume in your blood stream right. Now then you're really> wheeling and dealing. Now you're about ready to do something in your> body. You've got good food going to your stomach, you've got it into> the villi and it's going up to the cell.> It comes up to this finger up here, end the finger says, "Wow, I'm> really getting something. Well now, I can really get some good food,> and I'm so thankful." And this little cell up here in your finger> says, "That's great". It starts absorbing all this good food its> getting. And you really have problems now. You really begin to have> your problems start. This cell has had to live on junk for so long; it> says, "I've got something good to eat in there and I'm going to unload> all that junk". So it throws all that junk out into the blood stream> and absorbs all the good stuff out of the blood stream. Then your> blood stream is loaded with junk or toxins. You begin to feel lousy.> This fill's your blood stream so much with toxins, and the blood> stream can't handle it, so it backs up into the lymph system. Your> lymph system fills up and then it swells and stretches and you get> achy, and hurting all over. You get sick and nauseated and headachy> and you loose your> appetite. I'm going to insult you for sure now. I hate to do this to> you, but you're going to have to take an enema at this point. It takes> about three weeks after the cells really start working that you get> the loss of appetite, you get the head-achy feeling, you just feel,> generally goopy. That's the best way to describe it, goopy, ugly sick.> You just feel lousy, in general. And so you need to take a good enema.> Coffee enemas are good, or anything to keep the colon cleaned out, to> help the liver unload the poisons. And the kidneys-- keep drinking up> fluids to keep the kidneys washed out. Keep the urine flowing> beautifully, because the kidneys and the liver have to dump this> poison out. The lungs, take good breathing exercises. Go huff and puff> around the block until you sweat. Get some of this poison out. Anyway> you can get it out of your body, get it out.> You finally get this balanced. You get the poisons coming out of your> system, and you get food back in there and this cell starts> re-growing. It starts having a normal, healthy environment to live in.> You'd be surprised. It really perks up and you begin to feel good. You> might feel good one day and then feel lousy for two or three. But> every once in a while, you wake up and just feel like you did when you> were 14 or 15, and feel like you could whip the world with one hand> tied behind your back. And then your problems begin. This cell up here> has waited 20 years to get something good to eat and says, "My God, I> don't want to stop this". It continues that same message up to the> brain, "Give me something to eat. I'm hungry." It's just gotten into> the old habit of repeating the message. It's afraid it's never going> to get anything else to eat, and it doesn't want to stop now. It wants> to store up a bunch good stuff, because you may get back into the> old problem you used to have before this. You really need a> psychiatrist at this point, because it's really going to be tough.> This thing continues to send a message to the brain and unless you> have a lot of self will, and so forth, you're going to get wider and> wider and wider. You're going to keep on eating as much as you always> did. And when you keep on eating as much as you always did, instead of> assimilating 5% of it, you're going to assimilate 95%. You're going to> get fatter and fatter and fatter.> So the problem is, that you must start at this point to learn to put> your hands firmly on the table and push back. And do it quickly, about> a second or two after you sit down to eat. You'll eat about one-tenth> as much as you normally used to eat. And this is important, but I> guess you can get fat if you can afford a new wardrobe and everything,> but it's better to learn to eat less and keep your body in good shape.> Now you've got your body functioning normally and there's no way you> can help but get well after this point. No matter what you do now,> it's too late, you should have gotten there sooner, because you're> going to get well now. And this is the primary thing.> Now, you want to Know: Do I have cancer or don't I have cancer? How> can I tell. The doctor's not allowed, it isn't his fault, it's our> political situation.. There are many tests available at the present> time that he can use, and you can get through this organization. You> can do it yourself. They can tell you how to get these tests. But your> doctor has a real problem. You can send your urine samples off to the> Philipine Islands or to Mexico and you can get back the results of a> test that you have cancer or you don't have cancer. There's a little> test that we developed in our research. You punch a little hole in> your finger and take a drop of blood out on the end of your finger and> you can tell, pretty much, whether you have the condition of cancer,> quote, bad protein metabolism, unquote. You may not have a tumor mass> developed yet but you're on your way. You can tell by the way this> little drop of blood comes out on your finger. It's very simple. That> may cost you 35 cents or so. If that's not too expensive for you, you> can try another test that's a little bit more expensive than that. It> take's about 3 or 4 dollars.> If you want to know whether you have cancer or not, you go down to the> drug store and buy some pancreatic enzymes. Get Pancreatin, made by> Lilly Co., Parke-Davis, or whatever the druggist has at the drug> store. Get a bottle of a hundred tablets of triple strength. five> grain Pancreatin, no matter what company makes it, it doesn't make any> difference to me, or it shouldn't make any difference to you unless> you like the color of the pill. You take about five of these, four or> five of these after each meal for about three weeks. If you do nothing> else but just do this, at some time within the three weeks, you're> going to start feeling lousy. You're going to start getting headaches,> you're going to just get to feeling goopy sick. You're going to start> to have a loss of appetite and maybe get nauseous. If any of those> things appear to you during this period, you can rest assured that you> have a malignant condition in your body with actual cancer cells> present. So what do you do then? You say, "this is killing me". Like> my brother. I told my brother to go see his doctor, and I told him to> do this. He did this and in about 6 days he got just violently sick.> He felt real lousy, and got the headache and then the loss of appetite> and everything. He said, "Why I feel so bad, this is terrible. You're> tryin to kill me". He took the rest of his bottle and threw it down> the drain and flushed it and stomped on the lid. He said, "You can't> do this to people". I said, "Well they're going to have to go through> with it some way or another." Finally, I convinced him that he had a> big enough malignant condition that he should do something about it.> He did.> Whenever this happens, when you get this real poopy sick feeling, then> stop taking the enzyme for about five days. Let the body clean out> these poisons, then start again. And keep doing this on and off. The> second time you start it, start taking them again, you may not be> taking them for more than 10 days or a week before you feel sick> again, or feel lousy. But keep taking them, until you can take them> for about three months without feeling bad. Then you're pretty well> clear of the condition. And after that if I were you, I'd take at> least three after each meal for the rest of my life, particularly if> you're over 40 years of age. This is a good thing and you need them to> help the pancreas. It'll supply the enzymes that the pancreas doesn't.> Until the medical profession finds a real good test for pancreatic> function, I believe that I would do this. If you are over 40, I would> take some pancreatic enzymes because this would really be a help to your> general health. Now pancreatic enzymes do not work like cortisone, or> some of the hormone factors work where if you take too much of it,> it'll destroy your pancreas. It won't do this. Pancreatic enzymes are> amino acid or protein themselves. What you don't use for digesting> food and cancer, you'll use them to build new cells.> Now if you detoxify yourself and you've got your good nutrition to the> individual cells, you're well on your way to recovery from almost any> chronic disease. This doesn't do much for infectious disease or> traumatic conditions. The medical profession is quite skilled in this> and you always need a doctor. Don't throw your doctor out the window.> He does as much as he can. He just isn't skilled in nutrition yet, but> he is going to have to be in order to survive in this world that's> coming up in the next 20 years. He's going to have to be more skilled> in nutrition.> Now let's talk about the diet that you need. It would be good for> anybody, but it's good, too, for malignant conditions. There are some> things that you should not do. And let's run through those first. You> should not eat any animal proteins after 1 o'clock. This is, milk,> meat, cheese and meat of all kinds, animal flesh products. You should> also include in this after I o'clock, peanuts. You ought not eat> these. These are the main things to not eat. Now also you must not eat> white sugar or white flour at any time. Just give that up for a lost> cause. Now all these things, this would be good for anybody. Then> things you can have in the diet. You can have all the fruits and> vegetables you want, all the grains and nuts and cereals that you can> handle. Of course there are some individual differences. Some things> you can't handle. If you need some things you can't handle, why then> you just can't handle it. So don't keep on forcing yourselves, but> most people> can. We're just making a general statement. You can eat almost> anything else. And it's to your advantage to eat everything you can> raw. I don't think we've' turned on our stove in the last 6 months.> Oh, yes, we do once in awhile, we make some popcorn, I forgot about> that, and occasionally we make a pot of tea. We turn the stove on to> heat the water for tea. But at our house we never cook anything. It> just never dawns on us to turn on the stove, unless we want a little> hot water for tea. And that doesn't happen very often.> Now a lot of people discredit popcorn. Popcorn is a pretty good food.> And probably the only "junk" food you can eat. I mean, like you go out> to a movie' or anything. It's probably the best of the junk food that> you can eat. Dr Walker is death on popcorn but I can't see this yet. I> haven't been able to justify their bad position or their condemnation> of popcorn. Many civilizations live on corn and it's a very good food.> It makes me feel like I'm really out sinning, whenever I go out to a> movie and eat popcorn. So it's really nice to have something that you> can eat without really hurting yourself.> Now there are a lot of questions that you have, that will get us into> a technical discussion and we can rattle on. I've got nothing to do> til 7 o'clock in the morning, so I'll be glad to answer anybody's> questions. They say you can't smoke in the building, so if any of you> are having a nicotine fit now, why run out and relieve this fit. And> then come back and we'll have a Is this what we're going to do?> > Ruth Sackman announces question and answer period after intermission.> Questions and Answers> > Q. What does a person do who is unable to tolerate raw foods anyway?> A. Of course you are going to have to cook them and take an> over-abundance of enzymes. They make a vegetable enzyme that works> well at a high PH. Like a PH which is almost pure acid and there are> some companies, such as The National Enzyme Company in Chicago who> manufacture them. You take this plus pancreatin enzymes if you can't> eat raw food. You take this with the meal---a cooked meal.> ~ Q,, What is the name?> > A. The name is actually called N-Zines, made by the National Enzyme> Company in Chicago, Illinois.> Q. Would you say something about the diet, i.e. morning. noom and> evening meal, for people.> A. We generally don't like to plan menus for anybody because we find> that if I tell you to eat this and you say, "I don't like this, I an> going to get off the program." I'll tell you the routine most people> use----the 14 grain cereal for breakfast. They take carrot juice> mid-morning and mid-afternoon. Fish for lunch and then have things> like a salad or vegetables for lunch or supper also. Nuts. The best> nuts to eat are particularly almonds with each meal and if you want,> you can eat a lot of nuts like cashews, filberts and brazil nuts.> These are good. These are also good for people who are hypoglycemic.> This is the best thing to maintain the blood protein level. This will> give a lot of strength and relieve symptoms better than most things> that are available.> Q….You treated this awhile ago. Can I eat raw foods with an ulcer> present? Do you recommend anything in particular, say an oil before a> meal to ease the symptoms?> A. You'll have to work that Out with yourself and your physician. You> try to eat as much raw foods as you can. You can juice a lot of> carrots and use a lot of other juices, spinach and potatoes. Used in a> juice form, I don't think will upset your ulcers too badly. Maybe as> the doctor said, "take an oil before a meal". Anyhow, you will have to> work it out for yourself, with your physician.> Q…Would you State if there is any corrollary between meat and cancer?> A. That is what we spent time talking about up to now. The> correllation is that 85% of the total cancer problem today is caused> by the over-intake of animal protein. There is a definite> correllation. Now if you want to stamp out this 85% just stop eating> meat, milk, cheese and peanuts after one o'clock. Then our whole> society will change. It will be a great, beautiful change. The> American Dairy Association was quite upset with me but then that's> tough. I wish the day would come when a restaurant could charge $10> for a good salad. They would make their money and you would be healthy> and happy and live longer and make more money so you could afford the> $10 Salads. I don't know what to do about the American Dairy> Association. I guess have more baby cows, because that's where milk> belongs in 1,000 lb. babies. Maybe we can have more cows for some> reason. But I think as a society, we ought to change our habits and> it's about time we did it.> Q. Do you have anything to say about collagen diseases? Do you think> your plans diet, etc. and enzymes could help?> A. Any systemic disease or chronic disease of aging process etc, could> be helped by nutrition. Your body God designed to work, functions> beautifully almost all the time. Cancer is just a minor disease. In> fact, we weren't interested in cancer for a long time after we knew> what to do about it. We were interested in a lot of other disease> syndromes. Whenever you get a body functioning properly, then you're> going to get well and there is nothing you can do about it. Just get> it right and you'll have health regardless.> Q. You recomend protein supplements. I have found those made of soya> lactose or animal protein, high in protein. Are they therefore,> harmful to cancer patients?> A. We recommend protein supplements because we want to get the right> amount of protein into the body. If you don't have enough protein in> the body, the cancer is going to grow a lot more rapidly because your> own natural defence system has to have protein. Your pancreas has to> have protein to produce the enzymes which are protein and amino acids,> which are necessary to defend yourself against cancer. This is why the> grape cure works so beautifully for a short period of time and after> that you just fall apart. Whenever you take the grape cure, you take> no protein at all. Then what enzymes are available in your pancreas go> directly to work on your cancer and your cancer is absorbed at a rapid> rate. Then, if you take enough grape juice to give you energy and> strength you will go on beautifully, thinking you have it made. But> all of a sudden something happens you collapse.> This is because you have depleted the body of the raw material> necessary to manufacture enzymes for your own self-defence. So we> regulate by taking some protein supplements in the diet. We make sure> you have enough, but not too much. This is best brought out in a study> we did where we took a lot of young people, that is, I straighten> young people's teeth. I took a blood sample of these kids. They took a> lot of protein supplements from the health food store and their cancer> count rose and rose and went on up. They got tired and got the general> cancer pooped-out feeling from the cancer syndrome. So then they> thought they would get off these protein supplements because they were> too expensive. Naturally, they were so tired. The cancer was> developing so rapidly in their body, they didn't feel like exercising> and doing all the things they did and all the effort it takes to build> muscles. So they give it up and then their cancer count would go back> to normal.> Next year they would start in again. We did enough study on this to> know that if you take extra protein supplement's, you should take the> enzymes to help digest them. Some of these kids we told to take enzyme> with the protein, we did a double study on them. The ones who took the> enzyme went ahead and developed their muscles, felt good and played> football, weight lifting, did their studies in school and had no> problem. The ones we didn't tell to do this, they just washed> themselves out. So protein is important. Sowhenever you take protein> in extra amounts, you need to take an enzyme with it. Adele Davis and> many of the medical authorities say you have to have 150 grams a day.> Further Studies, produced I believe, at Loma Linda College at Medicine> at Los Angeles, found if you are an athlete in training or a heavy> Steel worker, you need 50 gram. The rest of us who sit around and do> nothing every day don't need that much. We need a lot less than 50 grams.> Don't get disturbed if you don't have 100 gram a day.> Q. Please give a menu for a period after the 6 day purge and fast period.> A. We don't give menus. We tell you things. What to do and not to do.> You go on your normal healthy diet. We need to talk about the 6 day> purge. 3 days of purging and 3 days of fasting---that may be too hard> on a person. If that's too hard, you ought to do 1 day purging and 1> day of fasting every 2 weeks and then go back to the normal healthy> diet after that. We don't give menus. We're in the process of> developing a print-out computer system that will do this and someday> we'll get this done.> Q. Where can you get the urine test?> A. You'll have to ask Cancer Victims and Friends. Mrs Sackman here> will be able to tell you that later.> Q What is the value of coffee in the coffee enema? Do you obtain the> same benefits by drinking coffee?> A. Well, we have people who want to know if they can have cream and> sugar with their coffee enema. The advantage Dr. Gerson found is that> the coffee enema goes directly from the colon into the liver. Shocks> the liver to a great extent, helps the liver dump a lot of its poisons> and toxins out of the liver back into the intestinal tract. It cleans> the body out rapidly. It stimulates the body, detoxifies the body.> Drinking coffee generally works just the opposite. It destroys the B> vitamins and shouldn't be used. I just don't recommend coffee> drinking. I never have. The only contra-indication when you shouldn't> take a coffee enema too often is when you have a badly affected> adrenal gland. When your adrenal glands are completely exhausted, you> should limit your coffee enemas to 2 or 3 a week. But when we first> started this system, we were scared to death, like everybody else is> when they first get cancer. For example, we had a beautiful little> girl about> 20 years old with a bad malignant condition. She would take large> doses of the pancreatic enzymes which was dissolving the tumor too> rapidly. She felt real bad. So she would take coffee enemas every 3 or> 4 hours. She did this for several weeks and then she cut it to 2 or 3> a day. Then she cut it down to I a day. As the cancer dissolved and> she got better, she cut it down to 1 a week, for awhile. Then the> cancer was over. But most people usually can't take more than 1 coffee> enema a day. How can you tell when you have had enough coffee enemas?> If you take a coffee enema and you feel better, you are not taking> them too close together. If you take a second coffee enema and it> doesn't make you feel better, then you are taking them a little too> close together. So you wait-. If you take one in the morning and it> doesn't make you feel better then you had better skip a day and take> it every other day. That would be the best criteria for that.> Q. On detoxification day, are the supplements discontinued?> A. We have answered this many times. It doesn't really make a lot of> difference. We generally Send a routine answer --- that it is better> to stop the supplements during the detoxification period.> Q. This Concerns people who have had radiation therapy and> chemotherapy. How does this affect their chances eventually in using> your therapy?> A. Whenever you take chemical therapy you are going to wipe out your> liver and if you have a strong enough liver, you can take chemical> therapy. It's alright to take chemical therapy if your liver is strong> enough. It doesn't interfere or help with our system. Sometimes it's> important to take it to save your life because some-times it takes 2> or 3 weeks for the nutritional program to really become effective. You> may not have that much time. Chemical therapy doesn't matter to me; it> is just between you and your physician. Radiation is a different> problem. Legally, you have to do what your physician says you should> do; or at least discuss it with him and work this through between you> and your physician. The only time that I found that I would take> radiation therapy of any kind would be in extreme pain situation.> Where the pains are so bad that drugs could not possibly help, then> you might have to use radiation to destroy nerve tissue. Eventually> radiation,> to me, slows down the circulation in the area and prohibits the> natural technique, natural cure taking place.> Q What Substance would interfere with your testing of the blood?> A, Nothing will interfere with it.> Q, Estrogens?> > A. Nothing, absolutely nothing.> Q. How does one get to you in Texas?> A. We are really not interested in working very hard. It costs us too> much money. For every patient we take, it costs us more money than the> patient can possibly pay. We are basically a research organization and> we do primary research and we are under individual grants from private> people. The only way you can get to us is to have a written request> from your physician and your physician will have to send you. Then it> takes about a month or so before you can come to see us. We are only> allowed by the people who pay the bills to take about 3 people a day> because it costs too much. If you had about $500 that you wanted to> spend, well----- we just can't take more than a limited number of> people a day.> Q. How long does one stay there?> A. You stay about half a day. It doesn't take long to do this. If you> fly into Dallas and rent a car and drive over to the heart of downtown> Grapevine, you finally discover someone in town who knows us. You come> in and we test you. It takes about 3 hours to run the test and about> an hour to talk to you and tell you all you need to know and then you> go home and do it. Many times we make a cassette tape for your> physician and explain this to him and you, but we can not work or take> anybody at all without the request of their physician.> Q. Are there certain patients you consider beyond the scope of your> treatment? That is too far gone or something like that?> A. Yes. If they rate a 1,000 on our scale. We find that there is no> hope for them. We have a scale from 0 to 1,000. 0, you have no cancer> at all and 1,000 the cancer is functioning perfectly and there is no> hope. We have never had anyone rated 1,000 on our scale who made it.> We've had probably 3 that rated 1,000 or above, and they did not make> it. A lot of times people rate 950 and 960 and this gives them about a> 20% chance of making it. But the ones that don't make it are the ones> that don't even follow the program. They just say it's not worth the> effort and they don't have the stick-to-itness to stick to the> program. Occasionally we lose some.> Q. Here's a person who has an exceptionally large fibroid tumor of the> uterus. She was wondering if she could be helped by followinq your> regimen?> A. Fibroid tumors. We don't give any predictions. We've had many> successes with fibroid tumors by balancing the body chemistry. The> only thing I know is that there is an improper mineral balance in> fibroid tumors and sometimes proper mineral balance will correct it.> > Q. There as a person who has been taking pancreatin with each meal and> she does not get sick from it but is getting progressively worse. Do> you have a comment?> A. Progressively worse with malignancy?> Q. She thinks.> A. Well, chances are you are not assimilating your food or there is> something wrong, probably the assimilation factor in the body is bad> or she may be too far gone, but I doubt that.> Q. Do you have anything in particular to say about the use of kelp or> iodine, or are they a part of your general mineral program?> A. The kelp and iodine should be a part of your general mineral> program. You can take all the kelp or anything you want for> mineralization. Vitamins and minerals.> Q. One person would like you to repeat your enzyme quantity and procedure> A. Well, if you just want to test yourself and see whether you have a> malignant condition. I think that's what they are referring to. You go> to the drug store and get a bottle of at least 100 triple strength> pancreatin tablets. You take 14 of those after each meal for about a 3> week period and this should either lower the boom on you or relieve> your mind. If you feel lousy or nauseated or have loss of appetite> during this time, well then, you had better check into it a little> more seriously. If you feel no affects---well then, you don't have to> worry.> Q. Do you think you might help diverticulosis?> A. Well, diverticulosis is from a lot of causes, but anytime you get> your body functioning normally and healthy, it will be some help to it> (the diverticulosis) . And get your body toned properly too. You can't> function properly until you get some minerals and the body chemistry> balanced. A lot of times it does help. It doesn't always.> Q. This person is upset about your statement about protein. She> wonders just what you mean. I think you should distinguish, say,> animal and vegetable.> A. We were talking about no protein in our book. We should have said> no animal protein. Vegetable protein can use a different enzyme for> digestion--- that is not the same enzyme that is used for cancer. You> can have vegetable protein like nuts and all the vegetable proteins> are real good. Some animal protein up until one o'clock but you better> eliminate animal protein after one o clock.> Q. Why?> Q. Would you say what the different juices are? Do you have a preference?> A. Different juices are significant. The Germans thought they could> improve on our program when they got the basic program. So they> started giving massive doses of Vitamin A which they thought we got in> our carrot juice. They thought there was a significant factor in> carrot juice. So, "we are just going to give our patients Vitamin A by> injection, etc. and by mouth and So we won't have to mesa with juicing> carrots." (Good carrots are hard to get in Germany. They went ahead> and got a lot of Vitamin A. So what happens in this case? They forget> one significant factor, and that is that we are not only interested in> the Vitamin A because it helps break down the tumor wall and allows> the chemical therapy or the enzymes to come in and destroy the tumor,> but in addition to that, if you also have carrot juice you also have a> great supply of minerals and so that is the factor they are> forgetting. This is why their rate of success is not as great as ours is,> because they have bypassed the concept of mineralization of the body,> and you must do that. Another thing, if you mix carrot with the celery> juice you have a good chance of balancing the phosphorous, potassium> and sodium balance in the body and this is significant.> Q. I was thinking about the centrifugal juicers, the press juicers, etc.> A. Press juicers versus centrifugal force juicers. The test we've> run---the press juicers are 2% better than the centrifugal force> juicers, but 900% harder to do. When we find most people don't feel it> is worth the effort. The 2% extra that they get from a press is not> worth the 900% cleanup trouble that they have with the press types. It> is up to you. There is a 2% factor there.> Q. Do you advise any other Vitamins and mineral supplements?> A. When we test for individual persons and we can provide an> individual program. But you Should have a multiple vitamin as we have> listed in supplement #1. Our concept is a good strong multiple> vitamin. Of course, a natural is better than a drug store variety or a> synthetic variety. This is what our ultimate goal is --- to get you> off all supplements and to get you on 14 grain cereal, black strap> molasses. That's all the supplements you need. But until you get your> body chemistry balanced, why you are going to have to take some> supplements.> Q Someone has said that the 14 grain is a very difficult food to take.> A. That is right, until you learn to live with it. There are some ways> you can doctor it up a little bit to get it down. At night if you mix> some honey or raw sugar with it and let it ferment during the night,> its helps it. Some people take and put almost boiling water over it at> night and put it in a wide mouthed thermos and it tastes more cooked> the meat morning. It doesn't seem to injure it any. And then you put> any kind of fruit on it the next morning, it makes it taste better.> You eat it for 3 or 4 weeks and you get off it and you'll miss it. It> is something like your boss. You like to have something to gripe> about. This is a good thing and then you become friends at the end of> stout 3 or 4 weeks.> Q. A person has a question concerning the pancreatin at a pharmacy.> Can you obtain a similar or about equal pancreatin at a health food store?> A. All pancreatin is a natural product. A lot of people say they> wouldn't eat the kind that comes from a drug store because it is not> natural, but it is; it all comes from the same pig or cow. We find you> have to watch the dosages. Approximately what you need is a 1,000 mg> of NF or single strength pancreatin. You need about 3,000 mgs single> strength pancreatin with each meal. That's the ultimate criteria. So> if you take about 4,000 mgs single strength pancreatin with each meal,> this the normal maintenance dose for the average person over 40.> Q. There have been several questions concerning your blood teat,> i.e.the opposition raised by the medical profession. Also people would> like to know something about how it is done - the mechanics of it.> Would you care to comment upon that?> A. Our blood test has never been critized by the medical profession.> They have an injunction against me for publishing and printing and> distributing my book which they say is the practise of medicine. This> book is not practising medicine. Everything you read in this book they> say is the practise of medicine and of course, this should not be> done. No other court and no other society has ever said that a book> can practise medicine, but in Texas it's a different horse. They want> the book stopped so they use any method. So we are in the process of> going to the Supreme Court about this. If you have any extra shekels> to help us go to the Supreme Court or if you can write a letter' to> the N.H.F. and ask them if they would support us, not only financially> but morally, and to give the weight of their organization behind us.> Freedom of the press is what we're involved in. They got an injunction> for practising medicine, which I never do and never have done or> intend to do, because I'm not that smart in medicine and I'm not> inclined that way anyhow. I just want people to be nutritionally sound> people and I am only a flunky for your doctor. I don't ever try to> tell him what to do. If he asks me some advice and what would I do, I> tell him. If it works--that' s good. But he is still responsible.> There are so many things that happen in a person's life that you have> to have a doctor and I'm not trying to discredit doctors or eliminate> them. They are just going to have to go the nutrition route and they> might just as well do it now. They are going to do it.> Now in relation to our test….Before I got involved in this, we studied> the whole history of medical persecutions of independent researchers.> And so they want to know the value of our test and how it is done> mechanically. The people who finance this---its such an expensive> operation, they elected in the beginning when studying the history of> persecution by the medical profession, that never at any time (unless> they change their minds). to give any information about the mechanics> of our test. All we do is test and tell you what to do. It's like> Jesus said, "after all is said and done, it's what works that> counts".. "And by the fruits you shall know them". If we tell you what> to do and you do it, why then that is all we are interested in anyhow.> The medical profession historically asks a guy how his test is> run--then they find out how to do it---then they wipe him out and make> their big claims that they have discovered something new---and then> put him in> prison. Then about 2 or 3 years later there is a great discovery and> they come up with this test and everybody thinks they are heroes> again, which they are, but the way they get to be heroes is not too> good a method. So I don't want to get involved in that method or get> wiped out myself. So the people who finance this will not allow any or> this information to become available until this is socially acceptable> and then we'll talk about it later.> Q. There have been quite a few questions on your previously mentioning> urine testing.> A. Urine testing is a good thing. Dr. Beard, way back in the early> 40's or even before then, developed a urine test that tells whether> you have cancer or not and it is a very good test. It's about 95 to> 98% correct and accurate. What is measured is the gonadotrophin. There> are only two times in the life cycle of the human being when you have> gonadotrophins excreted in the urine. One, when you are pregnant and> one, when you have cancer. If you are not pregnant and this test shows> up gonadotrophin, then you have cancer. Now the problem involved in> this is that Dr. Beard is one of those people who is going to save the> world and tried to force his test on the medical profession. The drug> companies accepted this test when made the two hour pregnancy test kit> out of it. Now they have a 2 minute pregnancy test. They are using the> same principal that he developed and the same system. They are making> a fortune out of it. Dr. Beard is starving in Fort Worth,> Texas. The man who developed it all has been persecuted, stopped from> talking and this is the standard procedure. I talked to the companies> who produce these tests and I told them five years ago that if they> don't stop telling the doctors that this is a pregnancy test kit, they> would run into trouble. About six months ago they finally admitted> they had run into trouble because they have had so many false> positives on these tests. The urine test which they use for pregnancy> ---they told too many women they were going to have a baby. That> either upsets them or makes them happy and nothing happens. They get> so many raise positive tests so I told the company five years ago that> they have to tell the doctor's that this test will test for pregnancy> and cancer. These are available in every laboratory in every state and> every medical supply company. The test they use for pregnancy is quite> crude and it can be refined just a little bit and can be used for cancer> detection. And maybe someday, in the next 3 or 4 years, the medical> profession will socially accept this thing as a cancer test.> Q. Impossible to hear from the tape.> A. ? First part of answer also to understand Most people, as I told> you, today whether they are fat or not, are starving to death for> minerals.> Q. Quite a number or questions concerning low blood sugar here and> something like black strap molasses.> A. Blackstrap molasses will make the symptoms more severe. In> hypoglycemia you can get your minerals some other way if you want to.> I don't think anybody really understands, or not very many truly> understand what hypoglycemia really is. And if we ever get a publisher> who will publish our works---I have written another book about the> same size that our cancer book is----it will completely eliminate all> the hypoglecemic problems if we can get it published someday. It is as> simple as cancer.> Q You make quite a distinction between peanuts and nuts. Will you> comment please?> A. Well peanuts are a high protein nut. The others are too, but> peanuts are really a legume and not a real true nut. Also there is a> mould called aflotoxin that is characteristic of it. Unless you have a> good source or peanuts and check each one before you eat them, or get> a good organic source where they don't have mould on them, it's a> little bit risky to do this because they use this aflotoxin as an> irritant to cause cancer in laboratory animals.> Q. You've been talking quite a bit about pancreatin, but you haven't> said too much about HCL as a supplement.> A. HCL is a good supplement and should be used at the beginning of> each meal. Maybe one HCL tablet if you tend to have a low HCL content.> One or the best ways to tell when you need HCL is, if you take 5 meal> and immediately have gas or burping or tend to have distress within a> half hour after eating. Then you are low on HCL. This is about the> only way you can tell without testing, unless someone else knows a> better way. Then you can take 1 HCL tablet. If you get too much HCL> you risk getting ulcers, upset stomachs towards the other way> Q. Quite a few have asked questions having had cancer, having had> different types of treatment and they apparently feel well. You have> said something about this before but I think that some people still> are worried about this.> A. You still find that you are worried about cancer. We find that all> the people who have had cancer and feel well now, have generally> changed their pattern of living and sometimes you can have a cancer> (and it's very rare), that the shock of surgery turns the pancreas on> full blast and it goes on for the rest of your life and you don't have> to worry about it. But by far, most people who have had cancerous> tumors removed still have one or two in the body growing. Probably> less than l0% who have had a cancer operation are completely free of> cancer. If you feel good and have no problems, take 3 pancreas tablets> after each meal and forget it. I'd go on and be happy.> Q. One Person has a question concerning embryonal tumors, Is your> treatment also effective with this type of tumor?> A. If they are thinking about the same thing I am, normally this work> good with this type of tumor.> Q. There is one woman 88 years old who is rather anxious to do> something. She wonders if she can undertake your particular test and> treatment.> A. Age level doesn't make any difference to us. It doesn't hurt to eat> good no matter how old you are. And something like my grandfather he> was told he would die if he didn't give up biscuits. Well he said he> would just as soon die. So he never did change. He lived to be quite> old. We can't see anybody without the request of their physician, so> if the patient is willing to co-operate and take a tough program and> diet, she might live to l00 but she may not want to.> Q. One person has been told by his doctors that 3/4 of his liver has> been 'shot'. Do you have a reassuring word for him?> A. Yes, that's just how mine was. They told me my liver was gone and> I'm still kicking. We find that a lot of times the tumor is on the> liver and not in the liver, destroying the liver itself. It's around> the liver itself, and the liver tissue is not so badly damaged, as is> this tumor growing adjacent too and mingled with the liver tissue. If> it's the liver itself that's completely destroyed and eaten up, if 3/4> of it is gone, it is going to be a problem. The only precaution you> have in this case is if dissolving of the tumor is slow enough so that> it doesn't overload your body with toxins. Just so you keep it> dissolving just a little bit. It's the rate of dissolving that counts.> Why most of the deaths that we had originally were involved with> dissolving the tumor too fast. We dissolved them too fast until we> learned better.> Q. Quite a few questions emphasizing the importance of Vitamin E and> Vitamin C and perhaps the other B Vitamins in combatting cancer. You> have made very little mention of these. Would you comment please, doctor.> A. Whenever your cell finally has nutrition brought to it and it gets> all it wants and it starts dumping out all it's poisons, Vitamin C> helps get rid of the poison at the cell level. It breaks down the> electromagnetic field force around each individual cell and massive> doses of Vitamin C are called for, for a couple of month's, it will> help get rid of the toxins and start the flow of toxins out of the> body. It's OK to take Vitamin C in good size doses. Vitamin E----a lot> of the researchers hold to the Otto Warburg theory of oxidation. You> have a lot of oxygen in your system. Oxygen utilization helps cancer.> If you hold to that theory, Vitamin is a good oxydizing agent and> helps in the utilization of oxygen. In that respect Vitamin E can> help. Vitamin E can help in this respect and it won't hurt. We don't> recommend a lot of Vitamin E because if you are really tough, like> some Texans who can take it, the 14 grain cereal has a lot of Vitamin> E in it and> you don't have to take any pills with it. If you can't stand the 14> grain cereal, then Vitamin E is real fine. Dr. Shute helps stroke> victims with a build-up of sometimes 3,600 units a day. The average> person he recommends about 1,200 units for the male, and about 800 for> the female. Vitamin B? The B complex is good. Of course if you eat the> l4grain cereal, you will get a lot of the B, and in the right balance.> When you get the B complex out of balance, that is when you get into> trouble. If you take too much B6, then you will deplete your body of> B2 and then you'll have the nervous rigors. So this is a problem. You> need well-balanced B Vitamins. You get it in yeast and grains. You can> take the B Vitamins, maybe B1 you can take separately, but other wise> I would make sure I had a B complex instead of individual Vitamin B's.> Liver is a good thing for B complex. The 14 grain cereal is listed in> our cancer book. You can call IACVF and they can give it to> you because it takes a long time to write it all down.> Q. There have been many questions concerning the elimination of the> mucous on the villi. They don't understand.> A. Now, the mucous on the villi. I'm talking to you and not promoting> any company doctor. A long time ago, Dr. Lee (who developed Standard> Process Laboratories) never knew when he developed this, but we> discovered this independently, he developed a tablet that had comfrey> in it and also pepsin. Now the comfrey root is a sticky, gooey mass> and it sticks. This pepsin, which is a digestive enzyme, against the> intestinal cell long enough for the enzyme to digest the mucous off.> This is an easy way to do it. Now what we recommend is two of these> comfrey-pepsin tablets made by this company, after each meal for about> 3 months.….after one year, for about 3 weeks to make sure you have> your upper intestinal tract cleared off and the debris removed from> it. I read, about this time last year that the Queen of England was> somewhere and she had to take her glycerine and pepsin. Now in England> they do this a little different. They take a teaspoon of glycerine and mix> it with about 1 teaspoon of pepsin and make a paste in the bottom of a> cup. Than they fill the cup half full of warm water and they drink> this between meals. The glycerine is also sticky and it sticks the> pepsin against the intestinal tract to clean it out. These are the two> primary ways that I know about. There may be other ways. We've done> some work with the enzyme from pineapples and papaya and sometimes> this helps a little hit to clean the mucous. It causes some kind of> enzymatic action in the intestinal tract.> Q. Where can you get them? What company makes them?> A. I think you can get some of these in health food stores, but most> of these companies that make the enzymes from pineapple and from> papaya, particularly pineapple are prescription items that your doctor> will have. There are several of them. They use them in medicine to> reduce swelling and surgeons use them. They are amylase. There are 2> or 3 brand names but they are all prescription items. You can ask your> doctor and he will look it up for you.> Q. How about comfrey?> A. Comfrey and pepsin is made by the Standard Process Laboratories.> Q. Where is it?> A. They have an office here in town. (Ed. note - They moved their> office recently to Watertown, Mass.) You have to have a doctor to get it.> Q. 'Will vegetable enzymes do as good as pancreatin?> A. There are papaya enzymes in some of the health food preparations.> But you cannot take a vegetable enzyme and expect to cure yourself of> cancer because it just won't work. But it may help to clear the mucous> and a lot of the health food company's papaya may help clear the> mucous, but we don't have the data to be sure this will happen.> Q. How about colonics?> A. As I said, all the colonics in the world will not help your small> intestine. There are 33 feet of small intestine there and a colonic> only washes out the last few feet of the large intestine. Besides> that, you have a valve. the ilcocaecal valve at the point of the> appendix, where the water does not go back up the small intestine,> even with a high colonic.> Q. There is one person here who says enemas are not possible with her> or him. Are they absolutely essential?> A. If for some reason you can absolutely not have an enema, you should> take a good laxative and keep the stool quite loose and keep the flow> of poisons out of your system. Keep the poisons out of the colon-if> you absolutely cannot take an enema, you can only do the next best thing.> Q. What about Bentonite?> A. The Bentonite is a good detoxification of the intestinal tract and> helps pull poison out of the system and is a real good thing, but it> doesn't destroy the mucous. It does destroy poisons, etc. Mucous is> actually caked on there somewhat like Elmer's glue. When it's on> there, it just has to be digested off.> Q. Now long does it take?> A. Like I said you take comfrey and pepsin after each meal for 3> months. Next year we take it, 2 after each meal for 3 weeks.> Acidolphilus does not remove the mucous from the smell intestine. It> keeps the acidolphilin balance and does a lot of other wonderful> things. but it doesn't do the mucous much good.> Q. Cannot be heard.> A. We're getting a question on milk here. Now milk, as I said before,> is made for 1,000 lb. babies that moo. Whenever we got our babies, (we> have 4 adopted children), we didn't give them cow's milk. We got 4> goats. They had milk until they were 3. We don't let our children have> milk. Milk is not good. You can use a little yoghurt. One of the> reasons we got involved with milk is because pasteurized milk, the way> I see it, being an orthodontist, is one of the causes of crooked> teeth. If children drink it their jaws become depleted of calcium.> Pasteurized milk is one of the biggest causes of orthodontic problems> plus other things, but this is a significant factor.> Q. How can you get the cereal down without a little milk?> A. I didn't use milk at all. Sometimes you can use pure cream diluted> with water. I just eat the cereal raw. Just gobble it down. Some> people can't stand it. A lot of people put it in a blender and make it> thin enough so they can blend a banana with it and they just drink it> down.> > Q. What protein do you give your own Children?> A. You can give them meat and other things unless they have a cancer> condition. If you really want to do a good job of feeding your> children, you get into the vegetarian system. But you really have to> know what you are doing if you eliminate meat from your diet. Of> course I'm not a member of either church, but there are two primary> groups in the United States that do a beautiful job teaching people> the proper system of vegetarianism and that is the Mormon and the> Seventh Day Adventist Church. They have good teachings and a lot of> good books in relation to diet. Don't be a vegetarian unless you know> what you are doing.> Q. What about soy milk?> A. Soy bean milk is OK in infants, I imagine. But don't ever feed kids> baby food. All it does is make Gerbers & Beechnut and all the others a> lot of money. And also makes the Allergist a great deal of money. The> Pediatrician will tell you to feed your child meat at the age of three> weeks and that's the most ridiculous thing that has ever been devised> by human beings. The intestinal tract isn't even adequately formed by> that time and you give a child meat from a jar at the age of three> weeks. I've seen mothers brag that their babies ate meat at three> weeks. Then they begin to nurse their asthma and allergies. The> intestinal tract is kind of big and sieve-like and these meat> particles in great globs fall through the intestinal tract and get> into the blood stream. You form all the antigens and allergies. This> is a terrible thing to happen to a child. You give a child goat milk> until they are at least six months old and then give them table food> after that> and don't give them any meat until they are nine months old.> Q. There are questions by people who are under other therapies such as> cobalt or Laetrile. They want to know if there are any> contra-indications to continue their present therapy and going on your> program?> A. None whatsoever. It doesn't hurt to eat something ---you might just> as well eat the right things. No matter whether you are taking 5 F.U,> Laetrile or cobalt or whether you are going to the hospital for> surgery, if you eat well, your chance of recovery is so much greater.> If you are going to have surgery for a malignant condition you should> take your pancreatic enzymes for about 3 weeks in advance of surgery> because this will help prevent the spread. A lot of people think if> they are going to do surgery it is going to spread the malignancy. But> if you have a good pancreatic supply of enzymes in your blood level at> the time of surgery, you are not going to spread the malignancy and> don't forget the recommendations of your physician for surgery if you> have a good pancreatic enzyme supply.> Q. Here are two questions, apparently dissimilar, but relating to the> same thing: This person has finished her cobalt treatments several> months ago but her pain continues. This other person has just been> operated on for cancer of the breast, radical mastectomy, she says I> felt marvellous before the operation, why did I not feel sick. There> are two questions--- one felt wonderful and one felt miserable.> A. Well the cancer can grow without feeling sick, particularly the> fast growing type. Sometimes your pancreas fails all of a sudden. and> your' cancer grows rapidly. Sometimes your body isn't depleted and you> don't get a run-down condition before the cancer. The easiest way> doctors find cancer is in the voice box, the breast and in the> bladder, at the real early stages. If they can find it early and get> rid of it, why that's good and you generally don't feel bad. It's the> slow growing hidden ones that you can't see, and that don't interfere> with your functions, that grow for several years. Now, the first part> of the question?> Q. This person was in much pain and feeling miserable and had cobalt> and is still feeling miserable.> A. Cobalt, a lot of times after treatment in slow growing> Q. What I was intending was the contrast between these two patients.> A. Well, in a cobalt situation or any other situation, one feels bad> for a long time at first. If it is generally a slow growing thing were> they both breast cancer?> Q. It doesn't say.> A. If you feel bad for a long time and in a lot of pain..….Pain you> must remember and if you don't take note: the most painful thing that> happens to a human being is stretching syndrome. The bladder is the> only tissue made that was designed to stretch. Any other tissue is> painful. The most painful thing that happens to a human being is> stretching. Whenever you have a lot of toxins in your body, whether it> is from cobalt, or anything that causes toxins to develop in your> body, they are stored in the lymph system. The lymph system stretches> and stretches and keeps filling and filling with this debris and junk.> The more it stretches, the more pain you have. This is normally what> happens. In this case it maybe where the nerve itself is being pinched> from some other cause. The most frequent cause of pain in cancer is> stretching of the lymph system. When the lymph system is quite> stretched and gorged with debris material, whether it is growing cancer or> dissolved cancer, it is quite painful. When you detoxify the body, it> is the best relief of pain. If it's from a toxic condition or if it's> from some other cause ---they will have to find the basic cause> ---whether it's from a nerve injury or something like that or a nerve> impingement of some kind.> Q. May I ask a question of the pancreatic enzyme that is used to> dissolve the cancer? Has there ever been any radioactive labelling of> it to see if it dissolves the cancer?> Q. May I ask a related question? You have published a book, have you> published any other literature or articles?> A. We have published articles about other things but not in relation> to health. We are ready to do some when we get a publisher.> There are other methods of determing whether there is radioactive> utilization of pancreatic enzymes. Anyone who wants to do that can. We> haven't actually done radioactive studies ourself. But that's not the> only requirement or criteria to see whether it works or not.> Q. Where have you come up with the relationship?> A. There are many things that have been written since 1900 about this> and you can get the information through the International Association> of Cancer Victims and Friends.> Q. Would you comment about the foods. The contrast between the organic> foods and foods that are obtained from the supermarket. Do those from> the supermarket impede recovery terribly?> A. It is almost impossible to have all organic food. In many parts of> the country there is not enough available. You are going to have to> use supermarket foods. It is better to use organic foods. Even organic> foods are grown next door to the people who spray and pollution from> the air also drop on organic food. We tested food and found that even> organic foods are highly contaminated and so finally we get as much> organically grown food as we can. At our house we always process our> food properly, whether it's supermarket or organically grown, by> cleaning it as best as we can. There are a lot of cleaning devices.> The air force found that if they put a teaspoon of clorox in a sink> full of water and soak all their vegetables in that and in addition to> that, we use BasicH or some of the detergent cleaners which come from> the health food store, specifically to clean vegetables. Some people> even use a weak solution of hydrochloric acid. You can consult with your> local health food store. They have a lot of products with which you> can clean the food.> Q Does soaking foods destroy many of the vitamins and minerals?> > A. A lot of people say whenever you clean a food, you lose a lot of> minerals but you don't, as long as the cell walls are intact.> Q. Gerson said something about the ground - that it was different in> organically grown food.> A. It is always better to have organically grown food - there is no> question about that. But if you can't, you just can't.> Q. There is a question concerning almonds. Whenever using almond or> apricot kernels, do they need to be blanched and the skins taken off?> A. We never found it necessary to. There are all kinds of fads and> fanaticisms. A lot of people feel that the skins of almonds have too> much tannic acid. We don't hold to this. We give almonds for the> protein content and so if you want to blanch them its OK. I myself use> them with the skins on.> Q. What progress in dietary therapy did you observe at the ACS> conference this week?> A. I don't associate with those boys too much. My thing is getting well.> Q. What about eggs?> A. I think eggs are a good food. I don't eat them often. The research> is that they are good food. The best way to use eggs is to soft boil> them in the shell. Dr. Cheraskin, a well known authority, thinks it's> baloney about the cholesterol. He used 700 dentists and had them eat 2> eggs a day and their cholesterol count decreased.> Q. Question is about cellular therapy.> A. Cellular therapy is the implanting of embryo cells in the body.> When the pancreas fails from blood clots, etc, you need to re-grow the> pancreas and this would help in a great number of cases. Cellular> therapy seems to work. We tested people we didn't know had cellular> therapy and it works. We did a double blind test on cellular therapy> and it works well. You don't have one form of treatment - and just> before one is dying of cancer you have to do more than one thing. You> have to do several things at once.> Q. Can polyps in the rectum be treated nutritionally if they are> malignant or otherwise or is surgery ok?> A. That depends on your doctor. Surgery is not a bad thing and> sometimes it is helpful. I would make sure to change the diet and be> in good sound health and then if you have surgery it is that much> better. Sometimes surgery is indicated.> Q. Should white sugar be taken off the market?> A. Yes, it ought to be against the law - and white bread also.> Q. Can you explain more about low-blood sugar?> A. Low blood sugar is a malfunction and if you can correct these> things you can pretty well wipe out low blood sugar:> > 1. adrenal failure> 2. pancreatic failure> > liver failure> > 4 mineral balance> 5. circulation> Whenever you have all of these things working well, you are not going> to have low blood sugar.> Q. What about mixing vegetables and fruits?> A. There are a lot of fads about mixing vegetables and fruits in the> same meal. There is a controversy about this. The researchers who are> working on it say if you take enough enzymes, then you can. I don't> recommend myself that you eat raw fruit and fresh vegetables at the> same meal. Most of the researchers don't hold to that. They feel it is> alright to mix it up any way you want to as long as you take enough> enzymes to digest it properly.> Q. Do you consider 1200 units of vitamin D a small dosage?> A. Yes.> Q How do you explain the coffee enema stimulating the liver?> A. The coffee is absorbed in the large intestine. The large intestine> absorbs liquid. That is its function. It goes directly to the portal> vein, to the liver immediately.> Q. If someone has a cyst in the breast and wants to nurse the baby,> could this have an effect on the growth of the cancer?> A. Of course you would have to ask your doctor about this but the way> I feel about it is I don't think you can transmit cancer in this way.> Q. I don't mean transmitting it. I mean can the patient get worse?> A. If you take your nutritional supplements, your enzymes, I don't> think it will make any difference.> Q. Do you have any information on feeding citrus pulp to cattle be> cause citrus pulp has vitamin C and pectin and pectin kills> undesirable intestinal bacteria that causes diarrhea in cattle? And> about giving cattle linseed oil and linseed meal?> A. Well, linseed oil is of course flax, and the rind of grapefruit is> good. Citrus pulp and the effect it has on anybody is a good question> because we are all interested in stroke. We find that the pulp of> grapefruit and the bottom and peel, the bioflavanoids, and the rutin,> which is what is involved here, and what they are getting at, we find> that this is good for the blood vessels and if you have blood vessels> that are fragile and tend to a stroke, or you have varicose veins, you> need the bioflavanoids and rutin. This strengthens the blood vessels> themselves to make them more elastic and they don't fracture as> easily. Therefore, you don't have so many strokes or varicose veins.> This is the advantage we find clinically.> Q. You recommend buttermilk and yoghurt. Should it be raw?> A. What we are interested in in buttermilk and yoghurt is keeping the> intestinal bacteria count at a high level. You can take this in a> tablet form from the drug store or from the health food store or you> can take it in culture form from the health food store. It is better> to use it in culture form than to use buttermilk, but buttermilk is> more readily available than yoghurt because there aren't health food> stores in every part of the country.> Q. How much buttermilk?> A. You shouldn't drink over I glass of buttermilk a day.> Q. Is it possible to care for an enlarged thyroid nutritionally?> A. An enlarged thyroid is generally due to a bad mineral balance and> it is called hyperplasia. The cells are screaming for some-thing to> eat and they are just enlarging and enlarging because they are trying> to get something to eat. If you give them a good nutritional program> generally, they will probably normalize. Chances are greater that they> will than that they won't.> Q. If a parson gets up in the morning and breaks out in perspiration> and has a terrible sensation, like a blood sensation, could this be> toxins?> A. We don't diagnose or treat anybody. Normally your autonomic nervous> system is out of balance and you have sweats, etc. This is sometimes> caused by a great number of worms in the body or the nervous system is> out of balance. Or you could be suffering from hypoglycemia or> hyperinsulinism. Those things are characteristic and you need to have> your doctor help you find the reasons for those.> Q. If you are taking pancreatin and dissolving toxins and not taking> enemas, will the poisons eventually come out of your system or will> they stay there forever?> A. They will eventually get out of the system.

If you> can't take or don't want to take it. you can just taugh it out.> Q. Would your therapy help leukemia?> A. This therapy works quite wall - it has in the past.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 14, 2009 I have a friend who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 5 years ago, went through chemotherapy and many surgeries, and now lies dying of this disease. Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common these days. What would Ayurveda do differently? Does Ayurvedic medicine have any better success with this than conventional medicine? Any one of us could get the same diagnosis at anytime in the future. It would be good to know if there is another more successful and less torturous path to take in that eventuality.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 15, 2009 You should plan Panch karma detox program after prakruti asssessment then put on long term cancer treatment using ayurvedic herbs. Omni Rasayana may interest you. I have personally noticed its effect in 4 patients. The main ingredient is Semicarpus anacordium. In new studies Semecarpus anacardium have shown remarkable reduction in nitrate/nitrite level, which can be attributed to the antioxidant property. TNF-? is a cytokine; it facilitates inflammatory cell infiltration by promoting the adhesion of neutrophils and lymphocytes to endothelial cells. Semecarpus anacardium blocks the TNF- ?, thus severity of inflammation is reduced. _____________ a friend who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 5 years ago, went through chemotherapy and many surgeries, and now lies dying of this disease.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 16, 2009 Hi Summey, Thank you for your important question. Cancer is by far the most common and tragic epidemic in many countries, making the swine flu " scare " look ridiculous in comparison. Before answering your question, I would like to say that conventional medicine has had little impact on incidence rates and the survival rates over the last 30 years, in spite of billions of dollars being thrown at it. Conventional medicine has failed miserably, for many reasons. Here are just a few: 1. Conventional medicine has very little to say about prevention of cancer, apart from the low-fat recommendation which is based on false and outdated information. It's idea of " preventing " breast cancer is to blast women with cancer-causing x-rays. Viewed logically, mammography is just a way of recruiting women into the conventional oncology system. 2. It attempts to treat cancer by eliminating tumours rather than treating the cause. This unbelievably absurd practice means that patients often have relapse - because they still have the cancer. 3. It attempts to treat cancer by poisoning the body - either with highly-toxic chemicals or with burning radiation. This eliminates the body's own immune system (and digestive systems and other systems), leaving it extremely vulnerable to other diseases as well as the remaining cancer. This arrogance and disregard for the body is so typical of western " scorched earth " mentality. 4. It pushes people into a system in which they are frightened and intimidated; where they can no longer make decisions without duress from physicians and nurses; where they are discouraged from using their own personal resources to heal themselves. The extreme stress caused, most certainly disarms their immune system and sends them into a spiral of disempowerment. In short, what we see is a most backward and inhumane system of treating cancer. Do you really believe they have a solution just around the corner? Ayurveda has had experience of cancer (arbuda) for thousands of years; it therefore definitely offers solutions as a primary treatment for cancer. There are a number of practitioners on this forum, such as Vaidyan and Dr.Bhate, who say they treat cancer successfully, and I am willing to believe that this is so. I have provided secondary treatment of patients with cancer, supporting the main conventional treatment and mitigating it's adverse effects. From this experience I would say that Ayurveda has a lot to offer even as a supportive treatment. While Ayurveda can treat the tumours; through herbs, surgery and cauterisation with plant alkalis; it also treats the cancer at its cause. Ayurvedic treatment supports the immune system, digestive system and other systems, to offer the body the best chance to deal with the disorder at a root level. It works with the body rather than against it - there is far less arrogance involved than in conventional medicine. A good ayurvedic practitioner also works with the patient at the level of emotions, mind and energy (prana); knowing that these are the underlying systems influencing the body. In ideal settings, patients are treated humanely and gently, and offered soothing therapies such as massage and shirodhara. Even in terminal patients with too many complications to fix (cancer is tridoshic and, in advanced stages, classically considered as " untreatable " ), Ayurveda can offer humane care to help the patient come to terms with his/her final journey in life. A patient of mine told me, before he passed on, that the massages, shirodhara, yoga nidra, pranayama and counselling helped him towards his spiritual healing. Most importantly, Ayurveda offers a comprehensive health maintenance programme based on individual needs. If a person uses these tools and maintains self-awareness, they would significantly reduce the likelihood of having fatal cancer, let alone any other diseases. Much research needs to be done to provide evidence for this, so that people can be really convinced that a healthy lifestyle is by far the best policy. We also need good evidence that Ayurvedic treatments work. While ayurvedics in India claim to successfully treat cancer, it is so difficult to access any case studies or other papers. By evidence not being freely available online, serious ayurvedic practitioners in India are denying themselves worldwide credibility. Instead, by setting up systems of sharing information with other practitioners, the increasing practice and success of these treatments would attract attention from those who are seriously interested in eradicating cancer in the modern world. Summey, you can help your friend get in touch with her more subtle self, with breathing and gentle suggestions. And you can help her most by just being with her, by letting her know you care. Very best wishes, Gerald. ____ What would Ayurveda do differently? Does Ayurvedic medicine have any better success with this than conventional medicine?
