cancer, gas pain

[Guest guest]

Hello,

My husband has cancer, I've written before. He has had chronic diarrhea,

fluctuates in temperature has been weak. The main question I have for you

today is ...is there a point you can EASILY describe to me that I can rub

that will alleviate gas. He has a lot of bloating and gas pain. This is the

worst day for pain that he has had. He is on pain meds which he doesn't

usually do...is on a transdermal patch for the first time. And oxycodone on

top of that. the last time he took oxy, it constipated him horribly and so

caused pain. Help please.

Michelle:

 

There are four special acupoints around the anus, at

3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock. Massaging those relieves

trapped gas and soothes the lower intestinal tract.

I am sorry your husband is having difficulty, he had the side effects, it is

well published, do they have friendly bacteria in Chinese medicine, because

if they do, this may help. It sounds like they've killed his friendly

bacteria and now he has gas. They also have some very good natural

anti-inflammatories that help alleviate pain. I had lots of these symptoms

with pain and

gas and they are gone.

 

 

What side effects may occur?

 

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity,

tell your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is

safe to continue using OxyContin.

* More common side effects may include:

Constipation, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, headache, itching, nausea,

sweating, vomiting, weakness

* Less common side effects may include:

Abdominal pain, abnormal dreams, abnormal thoughts, anxiety, chills,

confusion, diarrhea, dizziness upon first standing up, excessively high

spirits,

fever, hiccups, indigestion, insomnia, loss of appetite, nervousness, rash,

stomach pain, shortness of breath, twitching

* Rare side effects may include:

Abnormal gait, accidental injury, agitation, amnesia, burping, chest pain,

cough, decreased sexual drive, dehydration, depression, difficulty swallowing,

diminished muscle tone, diminished sensitivity, dry or inflamed skin,

emotional instability, fainting, gas, generally ill feeling, hallucinations,

hives,

Hi Liz D.

How lucky you are that you don't also have acid reflux. Peppermint

herb (as in tea) can decrease the pressure of the lower esphageal

sphincter and make the adventure worst for people who are prone

to acid reflux.

 

As for peppermint essential oil, can give some people a stomach

upset. It shouldn't be taken if there's obstruction or inflammation

of the bile ducts.

 

Peppermint is cool, spicy and sweet.

It can be used to breakup Liver and Spleen Qi stagnation.

It can ground the Liver Qi.

It can deal with Wind Heat.

[Guest guest]

I do have some problems with acid reflux. But when I have an

awful amount of gas it seems to help my gas and not bother

with my reflux problem. I guess I don't over-do it.

 

Everything you said is true from what I read and what the doctor

told me. However I can tollerate some wine too, but not all the

time. That relaxes that muscle to a bad effect also.

 

I don't know if rubbing peppermint oil on the stomach would help

or not.

make some tea with fennel, it works wonders, and it works fast, or you could

take some bentonite clay in a glass of water, this works well also,anise seed

and caatnip tea work well also.

======================

Are These Things, Chinese Herbs, That Are Used. I understand bentonite

clay, but wouldn't you add friendly bacteria. This can be a drug reaction to

something the person was taking. It could have affected his digestive tract,

and it could have killed his intestinal flora.

I of course do not and cannot know the cause of the gaseousness, it could be

a drug reaction but I am thinking it is more likely due to impaired digestive

function. And my personal experience, with the problem is why I maaade the

recommendations, not

> Are These Things, Chinese Herbs, That Are Used.

 

These are herbs that grow in the West. They probably also grow in

China. In China they might be used occasionally, as a folk remedy,

one at a time but in a more formal Chinese medical setting they'd

be used with a group of other herbs to balance strengths and

weaknesses.

And even then they wouldn't be used without a formal assessment of

the client by pulse, tongue et cetera.

 

Michelle's husband is on massive amounts of Western pharmaceuticals

for a condition that could cost him his life.

His taking herbal anything without a formal assessment by a

professional herbalist would be pure foolishness.

 

Yes, herbs could be integrated into his therapy, but without an in

person evaluation of his vital signs to do such a thing could turn

out far less than desirable results.

 

Michelle asked for acupressure points to help relieve his gas.

That's where the bulk of my studies are. I'm hesitant to even make a

suggestion because I have no hands on and Michelle provides no

diagnosis in TCM terminology.

 

Michelle, if you can get your husband into an acupuncturist for a

professional assessement?

From what I've seen on list, we haven't a clear picture of what is

going on in TCM terms.

 

Acupuncture could be far more effective than acupressure.

The Acupuncturist could show you points that you could acupressure

for continuing therapy at home between appointments.

 

> I understand bentonite clay, but wouldn't you add friendly

If I understand the function of betonite clay, it might lessen the

effectiveness of the pharmaceuticals Michelle's husband is on.

 

Herbs can do that as well. In situations where it isn't " life or

death " there is more room for error.

When integrating herbs into any medical situation it should not

be without an understanding of the herbs used.

The wrong herbs at this point could lessen Michelle's husband's

chance of recovery while increasing his pain.

 

> This can be a drug reaction to something the person was taking.

> It could have affected his digestive tract, and it could have

> killed his intestinal flora.

 

With integrative medicine you assess the situation as it presents

itself.

If the pharmaceuticals have altered one's balance, that is the

situation.

 

I imagine Michelle's husband might be having difficulty eating or

even getting nutrients from the food he can eat.

With what little information we have, we really don't know what is

going on.

 

Michelle, you're going through trying times. If you do take your

husband in for a professional treatment with an acupuncturist,

please feel well within your right for help for yourself as well.

 

Michelle, do we have your permission to pray for your clarity of

thought and that all turns out well?

Nature's Sunshine Products (NSP) has a catnip and fennel glycerine

tincture that is very convenient. They also have an encapsulated

herb formula AG-X for anti-gas, needs to be taken daily. The two

products give a lot of ammunition for trapped gas.

 

Trapped gas can be stuck liver chi in TCM.

 

A permanent cure can come from homeopathy, though not sure

how applicable that would be in this complex case.

 

I spent almost 50 years of my life dealing with this problem.

 

For more info see my article on " Homeopathy for Intestine and

Gallbladder, " and " On Constipation " .

Penel,

you are correct of course in your assessment across the board. But this

brings to mind a thread of not too long ago when Dr. Holmes took issue with

information and advice being given to some one who asked for help and a

discussion

ensued between Victoria and the Dr. regarding the above. Many men are reluctant

to go to the Dr. at all, Then there is the expense , and time. A cup of tea

is an easy solution for what can turn into an agonizing torture if not

addressed immediately.

 

When you are in pain , and uncomfortable you are looking for what works. The

herbs that I mentioned are all very mild and safe and very effective. They

have been used for centuries by many peoples not only in North America, but in

Asia, and Latin and South America as well. They have stood the test of time.

I could not say if they were Chinese herbs or not, because, 1. I was not sure

how Jeff meant the question.Do they grow in China , and is that where they

originate from, or what do these herbs have to do with Chinese Healing?

To be sure acupressure and acupuncture work, and it would be best to haave an

assesment and diagnosis, but common sense must prevail . Must one really

suffer an acute attack of gastritis while searching for a practioner, making an

appointment, and perhaps the money to pay for the visit as well, or would it

make more sence to have a cup of tea?

 

As for the interfering with medication, I sort of get the feeling here that

Michelle's husband is getting mostly palliative care, and it has been my

experience that allopaths will prescribe more pain medication in cancer patients

rather than less in efforts to keep them comfortable, and as pain free as

possible.

However the pain medications,and chemo and whatever else is being prescribed

are no doubt toxic and creating a whole subset of symptoms which the herbs

mentiond address nicely, by either absorbing them or aiding in the eliminative

process.

By the way Michelle, I suggest that you fix yourself a cup of tea too. It ca

be very relaxing and you no doubt have a lot of stress to deal with now. Try

camomile.

I believe Michelle's husband is under the care of an acupuncturist.

But I don't know if the acupuncturist has given a TCM diagnosis.

(Not all of them do. Some acupuncturists practice the French

energetics style of acupuncture.)

What makes a TCM herb is it being used in accordance with TCM

guidelines. Is attention being paid to its heating or cooling effect

on the body, its primary and secondary uses in TCM, TCM-defined

imbalances, etc.? American Ginseng is not native to China and most

of it is grown in the US, but it went into the Chinese Materia

Medica (book of healing substances officially recognized in TCM and

their TCM healing properties) in a hurry once the Chinese realized

that it has some very unique TCM properties compared to other

ginsengs.

 

A TCM herb is one that is being used in accordance with TCM

guidelines to treat TCM imbalances. Of course the properties of the

herb from a TCM standpoint have to be determined before the herb can

be used to treat TCM imbalances. These include things like its

thermal energy (heating, cooling, or neutral effect on the body),

its taste (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, spicy, or bland), the Organs

and meridians it targets, any toxicity, dose, its primary and

secondary TCM uses (herb that releases the Exterior, Yang tonic,

herb that moves Blood, herb that warms the Interior, etc. to give

just a few examples), any contraindications from a TCM standpoint

(for example, not heating a person further who is already too Hot by

giving a formula which will heat the body more), etc.

 

TCM diagnoses include both the " disease " and the Root (TCM

imbalance). Most of what the Chinese call " diseases " are called

symptoms in the West. (It's a translation problem.) For

example, " gas pains " is the " disease " , the underlying imbalance

which is causing the gas pains may be Qi Stagnation. (Or it could be

another TCM imbalance like Food Stagnation. The same symptom/

disease can have different TCM Roots. Therefore what helps one

person may do nothing for a second and may make a third sicker

because the Root in all three cases is different.) Treatment often

is directed to something specific for the gas and pain in addition

to something to correct the underlying imbalance which is the Root

of the problem. BTW, TCM pays far more attention to causes than to

symptoms than Western allopathic medicine does.

Actually, the interference of herbs with drugs and the equally bad

problem of the herb causing an overdose when given with certain

drugs are increasing problems. An example of the latter is being

very, very careful when prescribing an Herb That Moves Blood (for

Blood Stasis) to a person who is on blood-thinning medication. Some

of the " herbs " ( " herbs " in TCM is a general term that also includes

minerals and animal parts)that move Blood are the raw substances

from which the powerful prescription drugs are derived. So why would

an herbalist need to recommend an herb for Blood Stasis when the

person is already on a powerful prescription blood-thinning drug?

Because Blood Stasis is not limited to a person having " thick

blood " . The person with Blood Stasis may or may not have what would

qualify as " thick blood " from a Western, allopathic standpoint. Just

like Blood (TCM) is not equivalent to blood.

Even the mildest herbs can worsen a person's problems if the

contraindications are not known. For example, psyllium is a great

herb for people who have constipation characterized by hard, day

stools. It's a very mild herb that adds bulk and moisture, thus

taking care of the lack of fiber and moisture. Works great and very

gently for a lot of folks. But psyllium in some people add to their

problems. Instead of promoting bowel movement, the psyllium just

builds up and lies there in their intestines, causing even more pain

and lack of bowel movement. Why is psyllium great for some people

and so bad for others?

 

The answer lies in large part in what is happening from a TCM

standpoint. When a person has hard, dry stools, this usually has a

Root of Heat and Dryness. Not only is psyllium drawing water into

the intestine - taking care of the Dryness problem, its thermal

energy is cooling, taking care of the Heat. On the other hand, if a

person whose lack of bowel movement is coming from a Root of Cold,

the cooling property of psyllium is adding to the Cold, making the

problem worse. BTW, some people whose " constipation " is due to Cold

can benefit from psyllium IF they take it with ginger tea. The

thermal energy of dried ginger is Hot (very warming), and the

heating property of the ginger cancels out the cooling property of

the psyllium.

The Chinese are incorporating what's best in allopathic medicine

into their medical system and a TCM framework. One of the things

they are studying is using TCM to overcome the side effects of

chemo, powerful prescription drugs, radiation, etc. When they

prescribe drugs, they not only take into account the allopathic

diagnosis but the TCM diagnosis as well. They are determining the

TCM properties of drugs, and thus using them more effectively than

they are used in the West because they are taking the TCM diagnosis

into account too. It's that Root thing again.

 

On here we walk a very fine line between helping people find that

extra help while at the same time trying to make sure they don't

hurt themselves. That's why I encourage posters to always mention

the contraindications. There are contraindications for herbs just

like there are for drugs. (Some acupoints - like Large Intestine 4 -

also have contraindications. Some herbs are contraindicated to each

other just like some drugs are contraindicated to other drugs.)

Mentioning the contraindications is one of the best ways to make

sure that people get that extra help they need without making a

problem worse.

---this is some of what i have on cancer

 

,i am a researcher particularly interested in the research of Edgar

cayce and i have some very relevant information for anyone who

suffers with this ailment.

i have my own web site which you will see in the information.

we do not sell anything and we make that point quite clear , we

share information in the spirit of helping our fellow human beings.

 

this information is of the highest quality and to evaluate it

requires people to have proper evaluation skills.this usually means

digging and testing the information before making any judgment at

all.

 

I invite you to test it ,as it comes from a source which have

thousands of testimonials acclaiming its authenticity and benefit .

 

so please have a read.perhaps first i will share with you some

testimonials , some anecdotal but the table is from doctors dentists

etc if that means more to you.

 

This information is probably more suited to people who have an open

mind or are not prejudiced by their background , who have an

objective approach and will look at anything which shows promise.

 

The orion project is for the Sharing of information . This

information some of which has actively been submerged by vested

interest parties more concerned with profit rather than your

health .

Following the principles outlined in the Orion project will lead you

to real wealth=health the emphasis here is on prevention , taking

and doing things in the first place to stop disease getting in the

first place .

 

http://www.edgarcayce.org/health/database/chdata/index.html

 

For research purposes only on cancer

This information is derived from the Edgar cayce research readings

and many other reputable sources and from using it at the Edgar

cayce clinic, from numerous reports from people who have tried this

and from the thousands of Doctors who have been using this kind of

information with considerable success some for over 43 yrs.

 

the Orion project is an information sharing resource funded

privately, which sells nothing and is there for the sharing of

information which is of huge value. This is a totally different set

up from being prescribed just drugs where there are huge profits to

be made often at the expense of the patients well being even

sometimes misery.

 

There is a lot which can be done to ward off cancer and there areas

in the world where cancer does not even exist ,and what you eat can

very much affect how and if you get it, this is to be kept firmly

in mind.

 

According to the Edgar cayce research information anti-tumour action

was known empirically for many years, but in the last thirty five

years has been scientifically proven, primarily through the clinical

studies directed by well respected metabolic physicians around the

world. Among them are Dr. Ernesto Contreras Rodriguez, of the Oasis

of Hope Hospital (Formerly Centro Medico y Hospital Del Mar at

Playas de Tijuana, B.C.N. Mexico);

 

I can only emphasize to you the importance of each of these

principles in treating this problem

 

1.Quite clearly stated with in the research is this statement that

anyone who eats 4-or so almonds a day need never fear cancer this

was stated many years ago. There are now studies clearly indicating

helpful effects

 

See this web site as a study on almonds

http://www.areclinic.org/articles.asp?ArticleID=10 & src=m

 

Well vitamin B17 is within almonds ,and apparently is within the

diet of those people in the world where there is no cancer.

Typically our western diet does not have much b17 at all within

it . According to Dr. Krebs, we need a minimum of 100 mg of vitamin

B-17 (the equivalent of about seven apricots seeds) too nearly

guarantee a cancer free life.

 

Foods that contain vitamin B-17 are particularly within apricot

kernals and SEEDS OF FRUIT: The highest concentration of vitamin B-

17 to be found in nature, aside from bitter almonds. Apple, , It has

been clearly stated that anyone having cancer will also benefit

hugely from taking B17 though the dose needs to be higher. Have a

listen to the audio presentation at this web site

 

http://www.worldwithoutcancer.org.uk/index.html

 

for more info on B17, the drug companies do not want you to have

this information because it will affect their profits .The drug

companies tell the doctors in the main what to prescibe-did you know

that?. There are billions of pounds being made through cancer and if

there is a cheap form of preventing cancer many companies would go

bust and you better believe some of these companies will do all many

derisory things to ensure this does not happen and you do not get

the information you require .

 

2. Of course Mental constructive purposeful attitudes are to be

cultivated in all that are sick and injured. Your Mind can either

build you or sleigh you

Other avenues that have shown considerable promise are

 

3.The Edgar cayce research readings –using the application of

animated carbon ash and the ultraviolet light has also been shown to

of great value.. The light taken after the ash will cause the ash to

clarify through the releasing of oxygen in the blood stream by being

centered on the portion of the lungs affected and the adjacent

tissues.

This oxygenating process is apparently highly desirable

 

4.Another avenue to dig into is the work of noted scientist Dr

Raymond Rife ,just type in the words Raymond rife in your search

engine on the Internet .

 

5.Also as ever Spiritual healing, reiki has been shown to be of huge

and extreme benefit in many illnesses, as millions have testified,

Further information on cancer and other ailments and therapies will

be found at my web site. On the web site just look under treatment

info re cancer

http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/seventhmoon/orion/

 

 

6.One of the most important principles overlooked by thousands if

not millions of people outlined by cayce and others where people are

suffering from any condition is to do everything they can to help

others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce frequently mentioned

that this would bring faster results. This is a great ingredient in

helping all people to transmute their own karma. See other pages on

this particularly important aspect .

 

7.Bin your microwave .apparently changes your food in a detrimental

way .

 

8 using your own god given power of the imagination ,imagine if you

will a bright white light going through your head and descending

into your body cleansing and removing and washing away all that is

dad. At least twice daily to do this.

 

9. . As you can imagine a good diet is essential in maintaining good

health, emphasis was on fresh organic vegetables daily often eaten

raw or grated to gain the maximum amount of goodness into you and

fruits whole grains and light proteins. No fried foods at all. Of

course water 1-2 litres a day is essential as are regular detoxs

 

10 study the book from this web site ,

http://www.thejourney.com/ this person with the aid of the

principles outlined clearly in the book cleared herself from a

cancer growth in 6 weeks .

p

 

 

ALMONDS, APRICOTS,

 

 

Attributed to Edgar Cayce is the claim, eat two or three almonds a

day and you won't get cancer. Underlying this is the basic fact

that cancer, like most bodily malfunctions, is the result of a

dietary deficiency in certain natural substances. Supply these

substances, and the adverse condition won't develop. This is fine

(if it works), but what about the millions of people who already

have cancer? My friend Barclay, dying

The doctors had all come to the same conclusion regarding Barclay's

case: more and stronger painkillers for the remaining few months of

his life. His cancer was not the kind they could chop out or burn

out with radium. For Barclay, it was more morphine, or the search

for " that which will keep it healthy... " Some choice! But he found

that there are places in the world where NOBODY ever gets Cancer.

Convinced that diet is a factor, he looked to see what they all had

in common. He read everything he could find relating diet to

cancer, and found out about a chemical substance found in almonds,

apricot seeds, lima beans, and many other foods. Isolated by Dr. E.

T. Krebs at the same time Hoffman discovered LSD, the substance was

called amygdalen [amygdalin]. It is now being marketed (but NOT in

the U.S.) under the name Laetrile, and is also known as vitamin B-

17. To prevent cancer, we need only include in our diet those rich

in B-17, PROVIDED our diet is balanced in other respects. However,

once cancer has developed, it takes more to suppress it, and the use

of the concentrated substance becomes necessary for control.

 

Cancer cells have the interesting ability to obtain oxygen directly

from sugar; normal cells depend on the oxygen supply in the blood.

It is through this sugar metabolism that cancer starves the body,

ripping off all the available sugars. The more sugar eaten, the

more the cancer feeds the more it grows and the more there is of it

to rip off sugar. (Does this tell you anything about eating lots of

sugar?) It is also through this sugar metabolism that B-17 works

against cancer. B-17 is a complex sugar-cyanide molecule. Cancer

cells metabolize for oxygen, and free the bound up cyanide, which

kills the cells. The normal cell unable to break down the complex

molecule is unaffected. Further, the normal cells contain a

substance, which protects them against small amounts of cyanide, and

which cancer cells lack.

 

The Laetrile (B-17) treatment is effective in a high percentage

(90%) of cases, usually in this pattern: almost immediate reduction

of cessation of pain; gradual reduction and disappearance of

growths; regaining of health and strength, where proper diet is

maintained. Even in the best cases, it does not constitute a cure.

A maintenance dosage of B-17 must be taken or the cancer returns.

This, however, in no problem, as the substance has been shown to be

totally non-toxic in one of the most exhaustive toxicity studies

ever undertaken.

Of further note is the fact there are elements within the medical

associations in the states who are actively trying to prevent you

obtaining B17 they have taken people to court, happily numerous

judges have not agreed and have allowed people to use B17 .

 

 

B17 Metabolic Therapy and Apricot Seeds? Yes!

My name is Greg Hayes a 54 years old massage therapist and father of

6. Sons 25 and 24 daughters 18, 15, 6 and 10 My story is one of both

sadness and Joy, of setting a goal and achieving it in what seems to

be extremely adverse circumstances and mostly of God's great and

mighty grace and mercy. For the past five years I have been locked

in a battle to gain custody of my two youngest children, daughters

aged 6 and 9 years. Two days before Easter this year (2001) I was

given full custody of them. When I heard that I was going to get

custody of my two daughters I decided it was time to give up

smoking, which I promptly did. Always being the extreme optimist I

thought my health would return to how it was prior to starting up

smoking.

A few weeks after I kicked the habit I found I could not do anything

requiring any effort, without folding over and gasping for breath.

As I was working in a medical centre I decided to see one of the

doctors in the centre who sent me for an x-ray of my lungs. It

showed that my right lung was only partly working. Then I was sent

to a cardio-thoracic surgeon who found I had a build up of fluid in

my right plural cavity and the fluid was drained. Next I was off to

see another surgeon in Sydney, he told me he wanted to operate on me

to prevent me from any further build up of the fluid I had

beforehand, also to find the cause of the fluid build up. One week

later on the 22nd of May 2001 I was in hospital under the knife. I

woke up and the surgeon who performed the operation sitting on the

end of my bed. When I asked how it all went he said, " it doesn't

look good, your right lung is covered in tumours. We still have to

find out if they are malignant and that will take a few days till

the test results come back " . They were malignant, what a shock. Only

a few weeks after getting my girls I was told I had a form of lung

cancer known as mesothelioma. The first thing I did was to pray and

ask for God's peace to be on me and for him to help me in this

situation. That was the smartest thing I did. Never has God ever let

me down in any situation, it's not always the way I would expect but

the end result is always better than I could ever have expected.

The next day it all started to happen, a good friend Rick Baker came

to visit me in hospital and told me of the reported benefits of a

number of Neways products for cancer sufferers. He also dropped a

book in my lap the name of the book was " Cancer, Why We're Still

Dying to Know the Truth " by Phillip Day. Talk about opening my eyes,

this book certainly answered a lot of questions about why the

medical profession and treatment of cancer and other diseases. He

then told me of a number of people who could give me more

information. One of these people was Mark Elliott a Buteyko

practitioner from Melbourne who told me of a seminar he was having

in Sydney on 6th June. That is where I was given hope to carry on

and to achieve a normal life once again.

Today we had a very excited dad ring to tell us that his five year

old daughter who has cancer is improving dramatically. Little Laura

had a cancer in her kidney that expanded from there right around her

waist to her belly button. It was the size of a football! She was in

fact in the top 10% of cancer cases. The doctors are amazed at her

progress. This family was forced to give their daughter

chemotherapy, so they have watched her go through the treatment much

against their will. However, dad had been to see Phillip Day and did

all that he could to help his daughter with natural remedies. Well,

the medical professionals cannot understand why the tumour has

decreased in size to that of a fifty-cent piece! It has never been

seen before. The parents are thrilled at the results and have not

told the doctors for fear of what they would say. However, they know

in their heart what has helped their little girl and thank God for

his wonderful natural ways of healing. I thank him for people like

Phillip Day who lay their lives on the line to tell the world the

truth about the cause and the remedy for treating cancer.

First I wanted to say that I attended the Phillip Day Health Wars

seminar at Manly Sydney Australia last night and found it to be the

best seminar I have attended to this date, and I do try to go to as

many as possible. He is truly a brilliant presenter and extremely

knowledgeable. He did mention a website which I wasn't quick enough

at writing down regarding information on water filters. If you could

email me some info on the matter I would appreciate it. Also I had

read his cancer book and had commenced reading the Health Wars book

when my 6yr old german shepherd bitch develop a tumour on her nose

which the vet was quick to want to cut it out and was talking chemo,

etc. But I started giving her the apricot kernels in her food and

within 3 months the growth has gone and she also use to come up lame

quite often which no one seem to be able to sort out. But that

problem seems to have also diminished. She is healthier than ever

and I have always taken extreme care with her but at the same time I

was having her vaccinated which I no longer do. I wish to thank

Phillip Day for the great job he is doing. Too bad there aren't more

like him.

Dear Campaigners,

My name is Jan Anderson. I attended a Conference earlier this month

in Adelaide, Australia, where the speaker was Phillip Day. I had

previously listened to some of his tapes and some other tapes i.e.

The Politics of Cancer. He was a fantastic speaker due to his

enthusiasm for his subject matter, his very keen knowledge of the

information provided and his need to share this with others. I

managed to convince my husband to attend this Conference, not

normally his thing, and he was enthralled. My husband was diagnosed

with metastasis cancer in early September 1998. They were unable to

find the primary but discovered his vertebrae had been eaten away in

his L4 by 3.5cm and to a lesser degree on the L1. They also found

cancer in his lungs. He was previously a smoker, although not really

a heavy smoker, and had given it away three year prior to the cancer

being discovered, after he had suffered a heart attack and had a

stent fitted.

The fear that entered our life at the time the cancer was discovered

is indescribable. My husband was 50 at that time and I was 55. Ian

was my second husband and we have been married 14 years. I had lost

my first husband Ken to illness and I felt I could have done more if

I had been more insistent with the doctors or done something myself.

I was not going to let history repeat itself. I had lost my first

husband Ken of a gastric ulcer when he was 41 and I was 38. The

doctors had told Ken it was only stress and he should relax more. He

was like a skeleton when he died. The gastric ulcer, undiscovered in

medical tests, had grown like a vine and wrapped itself around his

heart and squeezed, causing massive internal bleeding, the shock of

which killed him. Both Ken and I kept telling the doctors we thought

it was an ulcer, but they didn't listen. Both my father and my first

husband's father suffered from duadenal ulcers and their symptoms

were identical. The Coroner called for all Ken's X-ray to see why

the gastric ulcer had not been discovered and treated as it was not

a serious ailment. It was said it did not show in the X-rays as it

was hidden in the folds of his stomach.

My husband was always slim. I am sorry I strayed off the subject a

bit but I think my experiences have left me a little cynical about

putting our lives in the hands of doctors, I was brought up not to

talk back to my elders and to revere doctors. They are however, only

human and not always given the means to mend our bodies. We must

also take some responsibility ourselves. There are a lot of very

caring doctors around but they have tunnel vision in relation to

prescribing drugs. In the search for the answer to my husband's

cancer I discovered information on Essiac Tea from the Ojibway

Indians and about B17. I started my husband on the Essiac Tea and

started feeding him food with B17 in it. Mostly almonds as he loved

them and it was easy to get him to eat them. I carried out lots of

juicing with carrots, spinach, and one apple (including the pips).

Ian was very accepting of the Oncologist's need for Ray treatment

and Chemotherapy and felt he needed these to get well! All I could

do was keep feeding him good things to try and rid his system of the

poison as soon as possible. He humoured me. I also had him on four

different Neways treatments and Noni Juice - all steadily emptying

our bank balance.

Ian endured three lots of 10 days ray treatment. He also had

chemotherapy, Carboplatin and Taxatere three weeks out of every four

for approximately 14 months. Also he was given about four other

drugs to stop him being sick; make him want to eat and to beat other

side effects. It was hell for 18 months. After approximately 6 weeks

of treatment, my husband was limping very badly and in pain. They

gave him more X-Rays and discovered the cancer was pushing his spine

trying to enter. I was told they would have to put him in a

wheelchair as the cancer would make its way into his spine causing

him to become a paraplegic. It was hell living with this

information, of which my husband was not aware. It was a great

strain for me as the doctor described what would happen and how the

pain would be unbearable. Thankfully, this did not occur. He was

rushed to hospital on four occasions, two with pneumonia. He also

stayed in a wheelchair for 18 months.

Fortunately, his Oncologist, a younger woman, accepted my need to

feed Ian natural remedies and had no objection to this, although the

way she said it lead me to believe it would be to no avail. She

tried very hard in her own way to help Ian get well and was always

extremely helpful and made herself available as soon as he was taken

to hospital irrespective of the time of night. On one of these

occasions, when I had to call an ambulance because my husband's

temperature had shot up to over 40 degrees; he was hallucinating;

had a huge gapping wound in his groin, which just happened so

quickly, the oncologist asked me why he was so bad, as I had been

keeping him in such good condition (sounds like a horse). I advised

her his mouth and his gullet were so bad with thrush that after

taking a pill with 2 glasses of water, it would pop up again into

his mouth. He was unable to swallow any of the vitamins and minerals

I had been giving him. The oncologist asked me to go home and get

these items immediately and she would give him an injection to help

him swallow my natural treatments. It was the closest she had come

to acknowledging that whatever I was doing was of benefit to my

husband.

My husband has not needed any Chemotherapy since August 2000. The

holes in his spine are slowly developing encrustations. His body is

trying to heal itself. The cancer did break out again further up his

spine near his shoulder blade in February of this year, or so they

say, and he was given a further 10 days of ray treatment. You should

see his burnt back. They had not been in such a rush to carry this

out this time and Ian was of the opinion it was because the cancer

hadn't started eating his bones. At the time my husband was

diagnosed with his cancer the specialists did not, thankfully, give

him an expected time to die, as they do with so many others. I spoke

with them without my husband's knowledge and asked them not to tell

him or I. After the first 9 months of his treatment, when on a visit

to his lung specialist, the specialist told us that he " doffed his

hat to us " . He said that none of then had been expecting him to

survive more than six months. This was the longest time for people

with this type of very aggressive bone cancer. He said if you can

last this time, you can last a year, six or ten years and we are

watching you very keenly. Both Ian and I started crying. We have

always been so positive on a recover for Ian. I have not allowed him

to think otherwise.

On one occasion Ian's local doctor was sent a letter from the

government where Ian worked. It asked the doctor for the likely

prognosis and the chances of Ian going back to work. The doctor

completed this form and sent it back to Ian's employer. Unbeknown to

the doctor, the government sent Ian a copy of this. It stated that

the prognosis was not good. That Ian would never be able to be

employed again and he was not expected to live for long.

Unfortunately, Ian collected this letter and read it before me. He

stated that not everyone believes as I do in his ability to recover.

I told him that doctors are not God and we must prove them wrong.

Ian at this time was only staying up in his wheelchair for about 1

hour at a time as he was very weak and tired. As soon as he was

asleep, I telephoned his doctor and gave him a peace of my mind. He

was amazed that a copy of his report had been sent to Ian and

apologised for this as he had not meant to upset either Ian or

myself. He did however state that I was being unrealistic to expect

Ian to survive more than about six months.

Well we have proved them wrong. Ian is now without a wheelchair and

has been for about 11 months. He now has some quality of life and

loves pottering in his shed making things for people. Some days he

overdoes things and strains his back and he is in some pain for a

few days. He is now saying that he feels better than he has for the

last two years. Due to Ian's remarkable recovery, other people who

have cancer sometimes contact us or others ask on their behalf. I

loan these people your tapes, and indeed at the Conference I bought

another four of each of them to give to more people. Also at the

Conference I took a couple of extra copies of the " Welcome to the

Campaign for Truth in Medicine " Booklet. I have also been handing

these out and suggest they get on to your website. Nearly all of

these people have been asking where they can obtain some Apricot

Kernels. The health food stores say that they are prohibited from

sell them by the Government as they are a poison!!!! So, summer is

just around the corner and here in Australia apricots will be

plentiful. Which part exactly of the kernel does one remove and use.

How can I store these and I would like to be able to grind some

knowing they will keep for some time. There are some very

interesting recipes in the " food for thought book which I would like

to try which call for ground apricot kernels. I would really

appreciate any information you can give me. Indeed, even suppliers

of ground kernels if possible. Although that may be difficult if the

government in Australia has banned them. My husband and I became a

member of the Campaign at the Conference and look forward to future

e-mail health updates. I know what you are doing is excellent and I

am proud to be part of it. There will be a ground swell, and people

can change things. I will keep passing on your website number to

anyone who enquires.

Thank you, Jan

 

5th May 2001 Aloha Trevor, Thanks for forwarding info in B17. I

found out in 1976 that my dad had leukemia. In those days I knew

nothing of alternative therapies or lifestyle. That was the

beginning of my education, for the sake of my dad. To make a long

story shorter, the laetril he got on helped him tremendously, and

increased the quality of his life the last few years. He started

with injections in Tijuana, and smuggled some back into the country

(USA) (we laughed about it--my dad smuggling, he was such an

upstanding citizen). The quality of product he could get in the

states was inferior, and he developed an allergic reaction after

some time, and went off the laetril. It was then that his leukemia

got worse. I want to let people know, that it does help the body to

resist and reverse cancer. People need to use it as part of a

complete program. There are many, many excellent immune boosters on

the market today. I, from my personal experience, would recommend

people to use B17 along with the rest of the great stuff we now have

available. Chew your apple seeds (especially from organic apples).

They are full of B17. With blessings of Aloha,

After an active life-time of work and sport, at 69 years of age,

Gordon had not been feeling well for nine months, until finally he

was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer at the Brisbane Royal

Hospital in April 2000. The tumor was large and his PSA (Prostate

Specific Antigen) reading was 1500. Having been aware of Metabolic

Treatment for many years, Gordon refused the recommended treatments,

and upon release contacted the Narvaez Clinic in Juarez, Mexico. In

great pain and in a wheel chair, Gordon arrived in Juarez on 14 May.

Immediate tests showed the PSA now had a reading of 2400, and x-rays

showed that the cancer had made extensive inroads into his bones,

which had become quite fragile. Gordon was advised by the clinic

doctor that the metabolic treatment would eliminate the cancer

throughout his body, but that in his experience only 30% of patients

have a bone regeneration. After one week of treatment, the PSA was

down to 1700; after the second week the PSA was 600 and Gordon was

advised the regeneration of the bones had commenced. After three

weeks Gordon returned home to Brisbane walking and free of pain. He

has continued taking supplements as recommended by the clinic. Some

6 weeks later the PSA was 48, and after another 6 weeks it was 4.9.

Within three months he had regained weight, and slowly the muscles

were returned to their normal strength and flexibility, allowing him

to play golf twice a week. Nearly twelve months later, Gordon

remains on a maintenance regime of diet and supplements and has

regular checks. Without the trauma of conventional treatment, his

recovery has astounded all who know him. (Contact details on

Dear Kate [Credence]

I was diagnosed with cancer at the base of my tongue in March 1998.

I underwent an extensive course of radio & chemotherapy and for a

few months this seemed to have been successful. In the summer of

2000 however, a scan revealed that not only was the cancer still

there but it had extended. Surgery would involve not only removal of

my larynx but the most part of my tongue. As I was not prepared to

accept that, conventional medicine had nothing further to offer. I

started a course of Metabolic Therapy at the Dove Clinic in November

2000. Quite soon I started to feel better and regain weight. Shortly

before Christmas I coughed up several pieces of what my ENT

consultant confirmed was dead tumour. She confirmed that my tumour

had definitely reduced in size and this could only be due to the

treatment I had had. So, within 3 months with the B17 therapy my

tumor has reduced in size. I have put on nearly a stone and feel

better than I have felt for a long time.

 

Elizabeth Owen (Mrs)

" My Story " – Sarah H, Southampton, UK

I was diagnosed as having breast cancer in November 1998. Since

then, I have had a full Mastectomy and reconstruction of my left

breast; a capsulotomy (to soften the reconstruction); 6 monthly

sessions of chemotherapy using a cocktail of three drugs; 25 days

radiotherapy; 14 further weekly sessions of chemotherapy.

In February 2000, I had been given two sessions of the drug

Taxotere. I ended up Neutropenic (no immune system) and in hospital

for a week, in isolation to begin with as any germs could have been

fatal for me. 12 weekly sessions of the drug Taxol then followed,

ending in August. After all that, my cancer is still here!

In March 2000, I bought " Cancer – Why We're Still Dying to Know the

Truth " by Phillip Day. I read the first 20 or so pages and put it in

a drawer. It frightened me because it was going against

the " establishment " , I suppose. I had been accepting everything that

the doctors and oncologists had been telling me. In fact, I even

asked my oncologist about Vitamin B17 and he said that it was just a

load of " quackery " and that was it! Embarrassingly so, I accepted

what he said.

Anyway, in July, my husband asked to read the book. The chemotherapy

I was on at the time had shown some improvement, but certainly

nothing radical. By the end of August, nothing had really changed

since the beginning of the year when I'd starting the second lot of

chemo.

My husband Russell really got into the book and was very keen to

take it further. Anyway, to cut a long story short, we ended up

going to the Stella Maris Clinic in Mexico for three weeks in

November.

I cried all the way to the airport. I have remained so positive

throughout all of my treatment, but this was something different. I

was having to go to Mexico for treatment – what on earth was it

going to be like? What was the doctor going to be like, was it going

to be clean, was it going to be " dangerous " ?

Well, we arrived at San Diego, and were taken the next day to the

Stella Maris Clinic. As soon as we stepped into the clinic, all my

doubts and fears were gone. It was such a lovely atmosphere; Dr

Alvarez and his team were wonderful. I spent three weeks having

Metabolic Therapy. A typical day consisted of breakfast with

supplements; IV Vitamin C, DMSO and Vitamin B17; fruit juice and

supplements; coffee enema; lymphatic massage; and lunch and

supplements. We had lectures by Dr Alvarez explaining the theory

behind his treatment program; lectures by a nutritionist; and

educational videos about how the immune system works and how to

prepare good wholesome food for yourself. All the food was made from

scratch. There were no additives, preservatives or colourings, just

loads of soups, vegetables, salads, millet, rice, nuts and dried

fruit and it all tasted absolutely gorgeous! I didn't want to come

home!

When we arrived home, the kitchen was completely turned upside down.

I am now healing myself through supplements, juicing, and very

healthy food – loads of vegetables, salads and juice. I give myself

a coffee enema everyday to rid my body of toxins and I feel great!

My hair is growing quickly, my skin feels fresh and my nails are all

returning back to normal! Of course, I have my downs, everybody

does, but I give myself the time to come out of them and end up

feeling better each time. At this very moment, I feel as though I

could rule the world! And things continue to get better

Dear Jan (Neways distributor) As you know when I was diagnosed as

having prostate cancer last April the P.S.A count was 99 and after

going on a dairy free diet and taking Maximol and Revenol and then

taking the apricot kernels I had a blood test I August and the P.S.A

count was down to 19. I have just had another blood test and I and

the doctor were amazed to find that the P.S.A count had dramatically

dropped to 2.3, yes that is 2 point 3 and I feel very well. I do not

know whether it is the tablets I am taking, or the dairy free diet

or the Maximol and Revenol and kernels that are having the good

effect, but I have my own ideas and I will certainly carry on taking

the minerals and the nuts in future. Thank you for your help and

advice, with all good wishes to you and your family for Christmas

and the New Year,

Yours sincerely

 

Dear Phillip [Credence] I can't begin to say how impressed, incensed

and inspired I was by your book Cancer, Why we're still dying to

know the truth. I am a Neways independent distributor and I was

recommended to read the book by another distributor. I could not put

it down and wanted to find a way of getting the message that this

book conveyed to many other people. Just such an opportunity arose

on Radio Kent at the end of last year when they had a phone-in about

alternative therapies for treating cancer. I rang in and mentioned

the book and afterwards, having left my number off-line I received

about 25 phone calls which resulted in over half of these asking me

to get the book for them. I have since ordered another 10 copies for

other people who have requested it. I am also going to the talk next

Monday 8th January that you are giving at the Totton and Ealing

Community Centre and I am looking forward to meeting with you.

Regards Erica E _ _ _ _ _

Dear Edward [Credence] I have twice been diagnosed as having

prostate cancer, and twice overcome the condition. On the 8th

October 1998 and with a PSA of 22.7 was diagnosed as having prostate

cancer. Within a few days I had changed my lifestyle and my way of

thinking, I became a semi-vegetarian, eliminated fats and sugar from

my diet and wherever possible all artificial flavourings,

colourings, E numbers and chemicals. I also developed a daily

protocol of vitamin and herbal supplements. Three months later my

PSA dropped to 1.3 and a biopsy reported that no malignancy was

found. A few months later and with a PSA of 9 was again diagnosed as

having prostate cancer. This time my original healing program

appeared not to have any affect and after trying numerous

other `alternative' treatments my PSA rapidly rose to 25.2. At this

time – November 1999 – by chance came upon a book written by Phillip

Day and titled `Cancer, Why We're Still Dying To Know The Truth'

wherein it described the benefits of apricot kernels. I immediately

ordered a two-pound pack of kernels and commenced to daily consume

forty apricot kernels and half of a fresh pineapple. Then in May

2000 my PSA dropped to 0.7 and a subsequent biopsy again reported no

malignancy found. Today my PSA is a steady 0.5 and I firmly believe

that this success is entirely due to the consumption of the apricot

kernels and now continue to take 10 daily as a maintenance dose. "

Yours sincerely Roger S _ _ _ _ _

Dear Kate [Credence], Thanks for your message. Our cat's name is

Eric. For the record, here is his full story: Eric is a neutered

domestic shorthair red tabby, prone to dozy inactivity (!). He was

diagnosed with feline lymphoma in November 1999 after a biopsy. The

vet could feel a lump the size of a walnut on his bowel; this

prompted the operation to determine malignancy. He suffered

chemotherapy in two forms: a half tablet every other day, injected

cancer drug every fortnight requiring general anaesthetic, and a

steroid pill every day. By June his facial fur had thinned out, he

was hardly alive, though not yet dramatically underweight, and by

July all of his whiskers had fallen out. We got hold of Phillip

Day's book Cancer: Why We're Still Dying to Know the Truth and

within a week Alison was treating Eric with 4 apricot seeds a day,

ground up into organic food, mainly chicken breast or natural smoked

fish, Neways Maximol in Evian water, and a third of a Revenol

antioxidant tablet. We stopped the chemotherapy, thinking that he

simply could not get any worse. The vet was doubtful of any benefit

the apricot seeds could provide, but she had heard of their use. To

confound medical science, Eric steadily improved. Within a week he

was much better. Within a month he was fatter, brighter and livelier

than ever before. His fur started to grow back, as did his whiskers.

His stools had been the yardstick by which we judged his condition

and these remained healthy. After nearly two months of no

chemotherapy we took him to the vet; the vet did not know precisely

what we had been doing and we now had to admit we had stopped giving

him the chemotherapy tablets. She was astounded, and reluctantly

admitted, after a blood test under anaesthetic, that he was back to

normal and that she could feel no lump at all. Eric now has a

maintenance dose of two seeds per day, still eats only organic food

and drinks only Evian water (Evian is one of the few bottled waters

with no fluoride content). He also takes Maximol and Revenol. The

only bad news is that he now suffers pneumonia, brought on by the

chemotherapy; he is treated with the homeopathic remedy echinacea.

Otherwise, he is alert, keen, frisky (more than we're used to and

extremely irritating late at night!) and by far a healthier cat than

we have ever known. This is without question, a testament to the

discoveries made by Ernest Krebs, and all thanks to Phillip Day's

tireless researches. We intend to submit a report of this to the

Royal Veterinary College, demanding further clinical trials. With

animals, there is no placebo effect, no psychology, only results.

Thank you, Phillip Day, for all you have done.

Your sincerely

!

Hello Geoff [sherman, Commander, Royal Navy (rtd)] I'm just writing

you a little note to tell you that I have received my first packet

of apricot kernels from Credence today. I have to admit I was a

little sceptical of the health claims at first but after reading

that cancer may soon be affecting 1 in 2 people, I knew I had to

take preventative measures sooner rather than later. Reading the

many testimonials on the Credence website was encouraging and it

helped me to take that first step. I ate a few kernels tonight and

the taste was much better than I was expecting. Now I know that I

can easily eat them while reading, surfing or watching TV! I have

asked my parents to start eating the kernels too. My mother has had

cancer in the past and I think it will be marvellous if the kernels

prevent a reoccurrence. My sister is interested in sampling a few

too. I thought I would let you know as I'm sure you get a lot of

apathy from people who can't even be bothered to at least try eating

them. I hope you get some personal pride from knowing that your

actions can help other people see new things, even if it does take a

lot of time and effort.

Susan Beer of Invercargill, New Zealand was diagnosed with breast

cancer. Since she started metabolic therapy in November of 1999 her

cancer has shrunk. Should you wish to speak with Mrs. Beer, feel

World Without Cancer Update 03/07/2000 (carcinoma of the lip)

Ann Harris was diagnosed with carcinoma of the lip in 1991 (9 years

ago). The cancer never went away despite three surgeries and one

session of radiation. The tumor was located on one side of her mouth

and extended all the way into the mouth, causing so much pain that

she could not eat. After starting metabolic therapy on 11/09/99,

within 10 days she saw that her tumor began to dry up and shrink

dramatically. She is now on her fourth month of metabolic therapy

and says her tumor is almost gone.

Should Mrs. Harris have known about vitamin B17 9 years ago it would

have saved her 9 years of pain and suffering.

Should you wish to speak with Mrs. Harris, feel free to e-mail us

World Without Cancer Update 03/03/2000 (squamous cell carcinoma)

On July 3, 1999 Mr. Darrell Derusha was diagnosed with squamous cell

carcinoma. He had a big lump in his neck about the size of a plum

and one in his throat which he could feel every time he swallowed.

On January 14, 2000 Darrell decided to start metabolic

therapy and metabolic therapy only to correct his condition. After

only one month on metabolic therapy the tumor in the neck was

reduced to the size of a marble (from resembling a plum). One day he

felt something bothering his throat proceeded to cough. Much to his

amazement the tumor he had in his throat came out and he describes

it as follows: " it was about the size of a grape and it was dead,

dry, and had some blood on it " . Ever since, Mr. Derusha has not felt

Miriam Alvarez Gonzalez, from Puerto Rico, was diagnosed with

lipomas all over her body after both silicon breast implants leaked

into her system. The cancer had spread through the cervix, all

through the left side of her body, into her lymph system, and had

nodules all over her body. Her pain was so excruciating that she

could barely move. She said she tried everything and could not

control the spread of the disease nor the pain. On Jan 19, 2000 she

started on metabolic therapy with the I.V. form of B17. Within 10

days her pain was reduced 90% and she was able to move around and

walk again. On Friday March 3, 2000 Miriam reported that her tumors

have shrunk over 60% and she feels that she in on her way to

recovery. She went off all antidepressants and pain medications and

reports her diabetes to be down to 150 from 307.

Completely Gone!)

After years of routine visits to the doctors and getting a clean

bill of health Stella Foster was diagnosed with stage IV Lung Cancer

with involvement in both lungs on July, 1999. Following the advise

of her doctor Stella started chemotherapy immediately in an effort

to " control* " her condition. After only one chemo treatment she was

admitted to the hospital for 5 days with seizures and almost died.

Early December of 1999 she decided to try metabolic therapy with

vitamin B-17 and added ESSIAC Tea to her therapy. After 2 1/2 months

on metabolic therapy her cancer in completely GONE. On February 9th,

2000 she showed up at the doctor's office to find out the status of

her condition. She describes being afraid when the doctor walked in

looking pale after reading her results. The doctor was pale and his

mouth had dropped, not because she was sick but because her lungs

were completely clear of cancer. This is one of those cases they

call " spontaneous regression " or " a miracle " . One wonders why!

World Without Cancer Update 01/30/2000 (advanced stages of breast

cancer, metastasized to bones and liver)

A " Testimonial "

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 10:15:23 -0500

" Sally Curry " <sbcurry

<admin

Hello:

My sister, Mary, age 47 and in the advanced stages of breast cancer,

metastasized to her bones and liver, started taking your 21 day

protocol two weeks ago, after I found out about it on your web site.

During the twelve years since Mary was originally diagnosed in 1989

with a tiny malignant tumor in her breast and had a radical

mastectomy, Mary had completed all the conventional treatments,

including chemotherapy, radiation, a bone marrow transplant (her own

marrow), a hip replacement, and more chemotherapy. Her good, caring,

doctor who administered all these " conventional " treatments,

reluctantly answered her question of how long she had to live by

saying that it was likely that Christmas 99 would be her last

Christmas.

Her latest symptom was that her belly would fill up with fluid to

the point where she looked and felt like she was at least nine

months pregnant. Her doctor told her this was caused by

fluid " leaking " from the tumors in her liver. This was a most

uncomfortable symptom, as it caused her a lot of pain in her back

and she could not walk around for any length of time because it was

so uncomfortable and tiring, and she could not comfortably get a

good night's sleep. She was bedridden except for going to the

bathroom and coming downstairs to sit down to dinner for ten minutes

before retiring upstairs again.

She would go to the doctor's office every Monday to have a needle

put into her belly cavity to drain off two liters of fluid. Within 24

hours, the fluid would again fill up her cavity to the " nine months

pregnant " state. Mary was starting to say that death would be

preferable to this life she was now living.

After only one week of treatment (the 21 day oral protocol), her

full belly symptom disappeared! She canceled her Monday belly

draining at the doctor's. She kept her appointment for the following

week (two weeks after starting the protocol) and again there was not

enough fluid to go through the draining procedure. The nurses at the

office, who had known Mary intimately for the twelve years that she

was being treated by this doctor, were astounded and kept telling

her how good she looked. Her energy was much better and she was

stronger and had good color. When she weighed in, she discovered

that she had lost fifteen pounds, which we attribute to the fluid

which was no longer collecting in her belly cavity. She can even

drive again a little and go out to lunch, and stay out of bed for a

few hours at a time now.

We assume that she is still close to death, but this treatment has

made her last....year, we hope... livable. She no longer sometimes

talks about death as something that might be preferable to living

because of her suffering.

 

World Without Cancer Update 01/13/2000 (Leukemia)

On December 10th, 1999, Margie Schaeffer put her diabetic 14 year

old son, Keith Schaeffer, on metabolic therapy (Aside from being a

diabetic Keith also suffers from chronic lymphatic leukemia). Since,

Margie has called our office several times to report her son's

amazing progress. Of course, his doctors stated that Laetrile is

nothing but quackery. In less than one month Keith's platelet count

has gone from 40 all the way up to 458,000. Keith has done nothing

else but metabolic therapy since December 10th and it is the only

thing they attribute his progress to. Keith is feeling great and

thanks God and Laetrile therapy. Keith says he hides the taste of

the apricot seeds by grinding them and putting them in his yogurt.

World Without Cancer Update 01/13/2000 (Stage 4 lymphatic cancer)

Dear David,

On December 14th, 1999, my Dad, Philip Valentino Sr. passed away.

However, his death was due to DIABETIC complications, not cancer.

Ironically, his last biopsy; on 11/14/99 came out NEGATIVE for

cancer. He was a twenty year sufferer of Diabetes when he was

diagnosed with cancer in March, and given a death sentence by his

doctors for the cancer. We started the Laetrile treatment

immediately, and as I repeat, his biopsy was NEGATIVE for cancer on

11/14/99. We do not consider his death a defeat, but rather a

victory for alternative medicine. Between April and December, his

pain was noticeably lessened, his spirits rose, and he enjoyed the

last six months of his life. If it were not for the insidious

Diabetes, we would still have him today. My family and I are very

grateful for those last six months, which we are convinced we would

not have had if not for the Laetrile protocol. I have given my Dad's

supply of seeds and 500 mg B-17 to another cancer patient, and he is

so impressed, he has decided to order himself, and continue the

protocol. Even in death, my Father has been able to reach out and,

through you, help someone else. that will be his greatest legacy.

Please feel free to call me @ (201) 865-2577 if I can help you

anymore. On behalf of my family and myself, I thank you.

Sincerely,

Philip Valentino Jr.

World Without Cancer Update 01/10/2000 (Stage 4 lymphoma)

Red Davidson from Berryville, AR was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma

and told that nothing could be done for him. His doctor

recommended a bone marrow transplant and heavy doses of chemotherapy

to buy him some time. One of his doctors told him

that Laetrile was quackery and worthless. The other doctor said it

was toxic and it could possibly kill him. After undergoing 3

sessions of chemotherapy Red decided to quit because the treatment

itself was killing him. He started metabolic therapy with

intravenous Laetrile on 10/01/1999 and within 2 weeks a CT Scan

shows shrinkage of the cancer all over his body. He was most

impressed when he noticed that the sores/boils that he had all over

his body which were constantly draining went completely away within

only two days of the Laetrile injections. All his sores are now

completely gone, the itching is gone, and the cancer has

disappeared in most areas of his body. Of course, his doctors cannot

believe it. He is now taking the B-17 tablets and thanks God for

vitamin B-17 (Laetrile).

World Without Cancer Success Story and Update 12/31/99 (Breast

Cancer with metastasis to Brain)

SUCCESS STORY

To those who care and work at " World without Cancer " , My name is:

J. Dean Roach

My address: 6711 So. Rock Rd.

Newton, Kansas 67114-9315

My Tele. # 316-282-7275

One year and 3 days ago, on 11-5-98, my daughter, Connie O'Hara,

was diagnosed with advanced ductal breast cancer, stage three,

after having been given a clean bill of health just three months

prior

from a routine mammogram. She and her Doctor agreed to start

chemo treatments which started 1 1-9-98, finishing the first round on

1-11-99. A mastectomy was scheduled and performed on 2-10-99 on

the right breast. The second round of chemo was started on 3-11-99.

Along about this time, I went on the internet in search of any new

information that might be available on Doctor Contreras and his

Oasis of Hope Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico. I printed Out about 20

pages or so of information and gave it to my daughter with the

understanding that should she and her husband decided to go down

there, that I would Make the necessary funds available for the two of

them to go. The choice was theirs. She finished her second round of

chemo on 6-4-99. Some time late in May, on " Good Morning

America " , some one from the medical side of the house made a

statement that chemo doesn't work for breast cancer. My wife and I

both heard it, and so did my daughters' husband, Mike. He had been

skeptical about Laetrile prior to this time because he hadn't heard

of

it before and was hearing all sorts of stories from his friends.

After

hearing the statement on " Good Morning America " . Mike told

Connie, maybe she should go ahead and make the necessary

arrangements to go to Mexico.

I made a few telephone calls and the two of them went to Oasis Of

Hope and checked in on 6-7-99 for a 3 weeks round treatment from

Doctor Contreras.

When they returned home on 6-27-99, my wife and I met them at the

airport, and Connie had a very severe headache. On 7-1-99, a cat

scan revealed a 6 by 7cm tumor which the Doctor said was

inoperable. The tumor was in the right rear quadrant of her brain.

For the next three weeks she went through daily radiation

treatments using steroids to try and control brain swelling hoping to

shrink the tumor to where they could deal with it with gamma knife

surgery.

On 9-3-99. Mike. Connie and their two girls came to our house for the

weekend. She ate a fair supper, but was tired from the trip down, so

retired early. Saturday morning about 4:30am, 9-4-99. she awakened

nauseous, vomiting, scared and couldn't talk. I took her and her

husband to the emergency room at Newton Med Center, where a cat

scan revealed the tumor hadn't shrunk, but had grown to almost half

her brain. They told us to take her back to Sauna to her Doctor. On

arrival at the Salina Hospital, they took yet another cat scan to

verify

the Newton pictures and admitted her to the terminal cancer floor.

She was placed on morphine drip, decodron, and adivan. On

Saturday afternoon, her Doctor called Mike and myself aside and

told us that Connie's time was very limited, that she would not leave

the hospital. We asked how long she had, and they answered, we

would be fortunate if she was still here Monday 9-6-99. By early

Sunday Morning, we started cutting down on the morphine drip so

that she could come somewhat semiconscious to monitor her pain

level better. She was in and Out of consciousness through Tuesday

evening or Wednesday morning. About 10:30am, she opened her

eyes, and said, Dad would you go out and see if they will let me

have a fruit plate? I went Out and told the Nurses Station her

request, and they got on that request right now. A nice fruit plate

came in about ten minuets and Connie ate about 1/2 of it before she

stopped, and I cried, because this was two days after she was

supposed to be gone, and the first food or drink of any kind since

the

previous Friday at my house. She held the fruit down, which was

also a first for a while.

Thursday was a day full of many events. First, she realized where

she was and what it meant to be on a terminal cancer floor, and

again she was a very scared girl. She informed the nurse to get a

hold of the Doctor, that she wanted to go home and be with her

husband and girls for what time she had left, that she did not want

to

die in a hospital.

This request brought the Doctor in abruptly and he talked to her and

explained to her that hospice would have to be involved, she didn't

care, she just wanted to go home. Hospice equipped her home

thursday afternoon and she went home Friday Morning about

11:00am. As soon as she got home, she started taking her laetrile

that she brought home from Mexico. At this time she weighed about

80 pounds. Day by day, she is gaining her strength back. Around the

15th of October, Hospice requested an exam by her Doctor and

subsequently, on 10-21, an MRI was done this time, and when the

Doctor saw the results, he stated that he could not explain what was

taking place. Connie said, I can. It is an answer to Prayer and

laetrile. The tumor was now less than 1/2 the size of when they first

found it in July. WE are now looking forward to have Mike, Connie,

and their two girls for Thanksgiving dinner, as we have much to be

thankful for. You see, God Gave my daughter back.

PS As of 11-8-99, at the Doctors office, she weighed in at 100

pounds.

Ten more pounds to go!

Sincerely,

J. Dean Roach

UPDATE: DEC 31, 1999: CONNIE HAS BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION BY

HER DOCTOR TO DRIVE HER VEHICLE AND GO BACK TO WORK.

DAVID ARJONA for World Without Cancer, Inc.

Another testimonial given by Mr. Dean Roach:

World without cancer, This testimonial goes back to 1969 when Dr.

Contreras was first starting his clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. My

father in

law was given 2 to 6 months to live with lymph node cancer. I

watched him go from a 200 pound man down to about 140 p ounds

when I heard about Dr. Contreras. I borrowed

2,000.00 at that time and sent he and my mother in law down for

treatment at his clinic. Five years later, my father in law was

examined by the same doctors that had performed the radical neck

surgery when they first found the cancer, the results of the exam

showed my father in law to be free of cancer The doctors told him,

Bill, we don't know what you did, but you did the right thing. The

Doctors did know what Bill did, because he told them he took

laetrile. At that time, laetrile was not acknowledged and was not

talked about by American Doctors. Anyway, Bill lived another 13

years, and when he died, it was from an aortic aneurysm, not

cancer.

Sincerely,

J. Dean Roach (son in law)

Joseph started metabolic therapy and apricot seeds on 10/07/99 and

within one and a half weeks his blood count dropped from 132,000

down to 30,000. Since Joseph has been on vitamin B-17 his blood

pressure has dropped, he feels better than he has in months, and

much to the amazement of most of his loved ones he is still alive.

No one can believe it. He says he owes it all to Metabolic therapy

with vitamin B-17.

Dear David

Mary Mattson has progressed through Phase I and the Phase II

supply is reaching its end. She has spinal cancer and was in a

wheelchair in February. Since she has started this program she has

progressed tremendously, and combined with her strong faith in

God, she is now walking around the neighborhood and basically

beginning to live a normal life. Through her doctor's monitoring, and

continued tests, she has been told that if her condition continues to

improve and testing continues to reveal the same improvement she

has experienced so far, she will be pronounced to be in remission

by November. I have mentioned to her that she needs to write her

story to you as one of your testimonies. I think that she will. Thank

you for being available, and I thank the Lord that we found you.

Cancer).

Canton, Mi USA

-Wednesday, August 11, 1999 at 23:53:19 (EDT)

My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in May '99. Frantically,

I spent many hours on the internet and found, " World Without

Cancer " . I read all the information then decided to order the 21 day

Metabolic Therapy. I had the vitamins (Laetrile etc.) ordered

overnight. I immediately got my mom started on the program. Her

surgery was scheduled 9 days after I received the Vitamins. She

followed the protocol faithfully for 9 days. During the 9 days she

detoxed heavily.

When she went in for surgery the doctors had to take her in to x-ray

to take another mammogram so they could inject a dye around the

tissue that had been affected (since the area was so small it could

not be detected by a physical examination). The dye was to be used

for the doctor to follow where the cancer was. While in x-ray (2

hours) the radiologist could no longer find the spot where the cancer

had been detected. My mother never told the doctors about the

Laetrile she had been taking. After surgery, the doctor came out and

told me that they know they got it all, and that the spot was smaller

then the tip of your baby finger.

During the time she was is x-ray (2 hours) the nurses and hospital

were standing around talking about this matter in shock. The x-ray

should have only taken approx. 5 minutes. Needless to say her

surgery was postponed for an hour. She is absolutely doing " Great "

and I attribute this to God and Laetrile. My Mom has become a

Vitamin Queen and I myself take Laetrile as a preventative. We must

focus on keeping a strong and healthy immune system and eating

right.

Thank You Very Much David!! God Bless you!!

To Whom It May Concern,

I have read your info for my father, who has adenocarcinoma of the

colon. The VA nurse said years ago she injected a patient with

Laetrile and it did not work. She said it had been so long that she

doesn't remember what type of cancer he had. My father is on a

fixed income, which makes this hard to try also. Do you have to take

everything with the B-17 or can you just take certain parts instead

of

all? I am very much into organic and/or natural and I have got my

father to try and do the same. Any info or help would greatly be

appreciated. Thank you and God bless.

Dear David,

George went to the oncologist today and had blood work done. The

blood work came back better than it ever has. That was great.

Found out that the pain pills, Percoset, were causing the headaches.

We have cut back as you instructed me and he is doing better with

the B-17. I also had to listen to the lecture from the doctor that

Laetrile does not work and that it can kill you. He says he has

documentation that shows this. I am going to take the papers with

me on July 16, at the next appointment and show him differently.

Thank you so much for your help and responding. I will contact you

in a couple of days and let you know how George is coming along.

Again, thank you so much.

Sincerely,

Deborah Burns

Ted Ethier was diagnosed with small cell lung carcinoma in February

1999. One doctor told him he had 2 months to live and another gave

him 6-8 months. After reading Phillip Day's book, " Cancer Why We're

Still Dying to Know the Truth " , Ted commenced Vitamin B17 Metabolic

Therapy on 13th March 2000. After just two months, Ted went for an x-

ray which revealed no trace of the cancer at all. Ted states that

today he is feeling better than he has in months. If you would like

20th January 2000 [from the diary of Phillip Day]

Last night I visited cancer patient Tina Homes and her Pastor and

his wife, Mr and Mrs Philip Robling, in Maidstone, England. Tina had

tumours in her back, neck and malignancy in her lungs and has

suffered from cancer for many years. During this time, she has

undergone numerous bouts of chemotherapy, with little success.

Gradually the cancer had spread from her lungs to her back, neck and

behind her ear. In the last few months, she decided to do B17 500mg

tablets and the apricot seeds, but has unfortunately only been doing

these intermittently, as she hates the taste of the seeds. I

suggested she ground them up and put them into a cherry yoghurt

(call me old-fashioned). Nevertheless, in the past 45 days, the

tumour in her back has disappeared, her neck tumour can no longer be

found by her amazed doctor and Tina is looking and feeling better

with each passing day.

Tina now recognises the importance of taking B17 tablets in

conjunction with pancreatic enzymes and Vitmain A emulsion, as well

as supporting her nutritional intake with apricot seeds, high doses

of Vitamin C and colloidal/ionised minerals. She is looking forward

to administering the coup de grace to her cancer over the coming

weeks by doing B17 Metabolic Therapy 'by the book'. You go, girl.

13th January 2000 (Leukemia)

13th January 2000 (Stage 4 Lymphatic Cancer)

On December 14th, 1999, my Dad, Philip Valentino Sr. passed away.

However, his death was due to DIABETIC complications, not cancer.

Ironically, his last biopsy on 11/14/99 came out NEGATIVE for

cancer. He was a twenty-year sufferer of diabetes when he was

diagnosed with cancer in March, and given a death sentence by his

doctors for the cancer. We started the Laetrile treatment

immediately and, as I repeat, his biopsy was NEGATIVE for cancer on

11/14/99. We do not consider his death a defeat, but rather a

victory for alternative medicine.

Between April and December, his pain was noticeably lessened, his

spirits rose, and he enjoyed the last six months of his life. If it

were not for the insidious diabetes, we would still have him today.

My family and I are very grateful for those last six months, which

we are convinced we would not have had if not for the Laetrile

protocol. I have given my Dad's supply of seeds and 500 mg B17 to

another cancer patient, and he is so impressed, he has decided to

order himself, and continue the protocol. Even in death, my Father

has been able to reach out and, through you, help someone else -

That will be his greatest legacy. Please feel free to call me @

(201) 865-2577 if I can help you anymore. On behalf of my family and

myself, I thank you.

Sincerely,

Philip Valentino Jr.

11th January 2000 (Prostate Cancer)

After being diagnosed with prostate cancer, Mr John Shown started

Metabolic Therapy with Laetrile on 15th July 1999. After only six

weeks on the therapy his PSA dropped from 6.6 to 1.7. Also, he

noticed that a number of skin lesions also went completely away.

Carles Thomas started on Metabolic Therapy with Laetrile on 16th

September 1999. In a recent phone call (4th January 2000) Peggy

Thomas (his wife) tells us that her husband's tumour in the neck has

been shrinking considerably since he started the treatment. His

cancer was diagnosed as melanoma.

Should you wish to speak with Mr. or Mrs. Thomas, feel free to e-

mail World Without Cancer Inc. for her phone number or address.

10th January 2000 (Stage 4 Lymphoma)

Red Davidson from Berryville, Arkansas was diagnosed with stage 4

lymphoma and told that nothing could be done for him. His doctor

recommended a bone marrow transplant and heavy doses of chemotherapy

to buy him some time. One of his doctors told him that Laetrile was

quackery and worthless. The other doctor said it was toxic and could

possibly kill him. After undergoing 3 sessions of chemotherapy, Red

decided to quit because the treatment itself was killing him. He

started Metabolic Therapy with intravenous Laetrile on 1st October

1999 and within 2 weeks a CT Scan showed shrinkage of the cancer all

over his body. He was most impressed when he noticed that the

sores/boils that he had all over his body which were constantly

draining went completely away within only two days of the Laetrile

injections. All his sores are now completely gone, the itching is

gone, and the cancer has disappeared in most areas of his body. Of

course, his doctors cannot believe it. He is still taking the B17

tablets. Should you wish to speak with Mr. Davidson, feel free to e-

mail World Without Cancer, Inc. for his phone number or address.

 

3rd January 2000 (Leukemia)

Jennifer Woodall put her dad Joseph Menard on Laetrile metabolic

therapy on September 10, 1999. Mr. Menard, who was diagnosed with a

bad case of chronic lymphatic Leukemia, noticed that the swelling of

his lymph glands went down dramatically within only three days of

taking Laetrile. In a recent phone call to our office, Jennifer told

us that her father's blood count had dropped to 1/2 of what it was

and Mr. Menard is now feeling great and chopping wood in his yard.

Should you wish to speak with Mrs. Woodall, feel free to e-mail us

for her phone number or address.

31st December 1999 (Cancer in chest cavity with metastasis to local

rib)

Michelle Wondra of Oklahoma City, OK was diagnosed with a cancerous

tumour in her chest which had metastasised to one of the local ribs.

Michelle started Metabolic Therapy with Laetrile on September 14,

1999. We received a phone call from Michelle on 31st December 1999

advising us that the cancer which had metastasised to the rib is

completely gone and the pain that was associated with it has also

disappeared. Michelle continues Metabolic Therapy hoping to achieve

total regression of her condition.

Should you wish to speak with Michelle, feel free to e-mail us for

her phone number or address.

23rd December 1999 (Prostate Cancer)

Mr Paul Switzer was diagnosed with prostate cancer and started

Metabolic Therapy with Laetrile on 7th July 1999. After 6 weeks his

PSA dropped from 8.6 down to 6.5.

Should you wish to speak with Mr. Switzer, feel free to e-mail us

for his phone number or address.

 

20th December 1999 (Chronic Lymphocitic Leukemia)

Mr Joseph Casternovia from Springfield, NJ, was diagnosed with

Chronic Lymphocitic Leukemia and put on Lukren. After only one

treatment he had to be rushed to the Emergency Room and almost died

from the side effects. Everyone gave him up as a hopeless case and

thought he would be dead within just a few weeks. Joseph started

Metabolic Therapy and apricot seeds on 7th October 1999 and within

one and a half weeks his blood count dropped from 132,000 down to

30,000. Since Joseph has been on Vitamin B17 his blood pressure has

dropped, he feels better than he has in months, and much to the

amazement of most of his loved ones he is still alive. No one can

believe it. He says he owes it all to Metabolic Therapy with Vitamin

B17.

Should you wish to speak with Mr. Casternovia, feel free to e-mail

us for his phone number or address.

 

1st November 1999 (Breast Cancer with metastasis to local lymph

nodes)

Mrs Jean Earls started on Laetrile Metabolic Therapy on May 1, 1999.

On 11/01/99 Jean called our office to reorder her maintenance dose

of vitamin B-17, stating that her breast cancer with metastasis to

lymph nodes is completely gone.

Should you wish to speak with Mrs. Earls, feel free to e-mail us for

her phone number or address.

 

1st November 1999 (Renal Cell carcinoma with metastasis to

vertebrae)

Mrs Pat Lucht started on Laetrile Metabolic Therapy on 12th July

1999. Pat was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma with metastasis to

the vertebrae. By November 1999 her doctors were expecting the

cancer to be all over her body. 1st November 1999 Pat called our

office and stated that the cancer which had metastasised to her

vertebrae is now completely gone. She continues today on Metabolic

Therapy on her way to complete regression of all symptoms, she says.

Should you wish to speak with Mrs Lucht, feel free to e-mail us for

21st October 1999 (Small Cell Carcinoma of the prostate)

Mr Baart from New Zealand was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma of

the prostate with metastasis to the liver and started Metabolic

Therapy on 29th September 1999. After undergoing Metabolic Therapy

for two months his liver, which was swollen about 70% went down to

normal size and the tumour itself went down about 25%. His prostate

shrunk and his urinary and bowel functions returned to normal. After

being on 40mg of morphine when first diagnosed he is now completely

off it. Mr Baart feels he is on his way to recovery from this

disease.

To whom it may concern;

I tried to print your information for some friends of mine, but my

printer isn't working. My name is Nancy Chavez and I live in New

Plymouth, Idaho. And I do know that the apricot seeds or pits do

work. My husband was diagnosed in 1994 with small cell inoperative

and terminal cancer. It was in his left lung and liver with little

to no hope. The doctor gave him 3 months without treatment and 8

months with it. I started him on the apricot seeds and snook them

into him throughout his treatments. He started getting better and

the cancer started shrinking. Then it jumped to his head and he had

13 radiation treatments all the time I gave him the pits also. He

ate his way through both the treatments and continued to get better.

The doctor now calls him his miracle patient and pronounced him

cancer-free 2 months ago. None of the health-food stores here will

order them for us and there are so many other people who want to try

them. I am glad I am now able to get a hold of them and help other

people obtain them.

My telephone no is 208-278-3405

thank you.

Letter from Janine Gavin (Queensland, Australia) to World Without

Cancer, Inc.

Hello David,

Many thanks for your prompt reply. It is truly a pleasure to deal

with someone whom is calm, unruffled and concise. As previously

advised this order is for Frank.... I am checking as I have been

told that the seeds are now available in Melbourne, Victoria - this,

I have yet to confirm. Frank is doing extremely well...he was well

enough to fly across to New Zealand for a daughter's wedding - this

he cannot thank you enough for. I was not aware but Frank has also

apparently had a prostrate problem for years, I didn't ask questions

but he did say that his count has always been 19. His last check his

specialist was astounded, he asked what he was doing as his count

was down to 5! Something they had not been able to achieve for

years. Frank truly is a gentleman, and when he quietly asks for me

to say " THANKYOU " , it comes from his heart and soul.

Take care,

Janine.

Dear Dr. Krebs. Thank you for giving me another birthday (May 17).

Please, again, remember November 15, 1979, when my doctor and four

other urologists gave me a maximum of four months to live with my

prostate cancer, and they set up appointments for radiation and

chemotherapy, which I knew would kill me if the cancer didn't, and I

refused their treatment. Then on a Sunday afternoon I contacted you

by telephone and went with your simple program. I am 71 years old

and am on my 13th year [of survival]. Three of the four urologists

have died with prostate cancer, and forty or fifty people are alive

today and doing well because they followed my " Krebs " simple

program. Thanks again for giving me back my life. Your friend,

HM " Bud " Robinson

" Laetrile saved Alicia from cancer. Doctors here in the U.S. gave

her only a few months to live last November. But now she is alive

and well, a beautiful and vital wife and mother, thanks to God and

to those wonderful men who have the courage to stand up for their

science. " – American actor-comedian Red Buttons, speaking at a

cancer convention in Los Angeles

Dear Phillip, My wife has a brain tumor and she's been taking the

[apricot] seeds and B17 for a while and had very good response. The

last MRI showed between a 50-75% reduction in tumor size that gets a

PRAISE GOD... (name and address supplied)

Dear Mr Day, All I can tell you is that I had a growth about the

size of a pea on my eyelid for two years and nothing would change

it. The eye doctor said he thought it was cancerous but I did not

have any tests. After 4 months of taking the seeds the growth has

totally disappeared. Al Bresciani From the Journal of Jason Vale

" 12/1/98 - Spoke to George Robinson this weekend and his father who

was terminal with lung cancer just got checked up after doing both

chemo and the seeds and B17. His cancer has shrunk down over 75% and

the doctors are at a loss of words. They say that it looks as if

he's going to be fine. He needs to stop the chemo now or it will

kill him. "

" 4/2/98 - Angelita Corrales has diabetes and ovarian cancer. She

started B17 back in Sept. She had previously had a biopsy that

showed ovarian cancer. She just had another test and the cancer is

not there anymore. "

" 14/2/98 - Bart Bartholomew had small cell cancer in his lung and

was given about 6 months to live with the chemo... this was about 4

months ago... he started the seeds and also the chemo... The cancer

has shrunk greatly. The doctors of course don't understand what's

going on.... they think they're so successful they're going to give

him full doses of radiation. "

" 26/2/99 - Robert DeFilippo who had fourth stage Lymphoma and was

mentioned earlier in the journal has run into some problems. After

having been given a death sentence by the doctors and turning only

to the seeds, we are sad to say that Rob has now lost all confidence

in his doctors because he's feeling better than he ever has and with

no signs of cancer. Rob's phone # is " (number supplied on request)

" 27/2/99 - [Dear Jason], Two years ago I had incurable bladder

cancer!! Taking the seeds and a complete change of diet caused my

diet, and yes, I am passing on your phone # and what I've learned.

Ruth Helm is another that did the right thing. She was diagnosed

with breast cancer and started the seeds right away... She called

today and told me how her breast cancer shrunk down all the way but

was still on schedule for chemo. She received one session of chemo

Dear David, The following is my personal experience with cancer:

Hindsight is always 20/20. If I had only read about cancer, I might

have noticed some of the warning signs I was having. I was

constantly tired, bruised so easily, had started getting headaches

every day - all things I contributed to being a mother of three

children. But God has a purpose for everything and this is how it

happened.

December 28, 1998 - I had a lump taken out of each breast. It was

the only way to find out if it was cancer " , the doctor had told

me, " It's not like there is a cancer blood test- it's just not that

simple " He also told me all odds were against me having cancer. My

surgery had, in fact, been put off for six weeks. However, two days

after the surgery he called me and told me one of the tumors was

malignant (the other was benign) He was shocked. After all, I was

only 30 yrs old, was not overweight, had already had children, and

didn't have a history of cancer in the family. He suggested I have a

lumpectomy or a mastectomy. He rattled off a bunch of statistics and

told me to find an oncologist. I had a second surgery in January

1999 - a lumpectomy.

A couple of days after that surgery he called and said " he didn't

get enough " - he'd have to schedule a third surgery. By this point,

I had begun to feel quite poorly. I had also thought there had to be

something else besides conventional methods. I had read about some

others who used alternative methods with success and thought that it

made more sense than chemo and radiation. That was probably the last

thing my doctor wanted to hear. He told me I needed to have that

third surgery if I wanted to raise my own kids. I was sorry I had

had that second surgery and knew I did not want another. The

doctor's office called me every week for a while before they sent me

a registered letter. The letter stated that on the several occasions

that they had spoken to me on the phone, I had not been cooperative.

They implied, in the letter, that if I did not follow through with

their recommendations, I would not make it. They would be there,

though, " when " I needed them again.

I began reading about alternative medicine and was met full force

with every opposition from the medical world as well as from most

people that I know. Fortunately, my family and best friend stood by

me 100%. In February I began to get sicker and had started losing

weight. I was hospitalized for severe headaches and dehydration. I

received several visits from oncologists who suggested " I end the

pity party and take care of things " I had also noticed a lump

growing in my neck. They said it had nothing to do with my breast

cancer. In fact that was all they wanted to talk about. " When would

I be starting my chemo anyway? " When I refused they told me I was

bullheaded and stupid. I faked feeling better so they would release

me from the hospital. I decided to visit an alternative medical

doctor. On my first visit, he asked me a lot of questions and said I

needed to address the problem of cancer.. He told me there was

nothing that could be done for cancer outside of radiation and

chemotherapy. He suggested I have an MRI of my head to rule out

tumors. The MRI showed nothing abnormal. I asked him about diet and

vitamins but he said it doesn't make that much of a difference.

By March I was still losing weight and my headaches were so severe I

could barely walk across the hall. Sleepless nights mounted. I was

lucky to sleep 20 minutes at a time. I continued to ask every doctor

I visited about my headaches and the lump in my neck. Each said the

lump was not related to the headaches and sent me home with a fist

full of pain prescriptions. I didn't bother to fill any of them. One

doctor even said, " Come back when your headache goes away and then I

can treat you. " Needless to say I didn't go back. During April (I

think) my Mom and I started reading about laetrile. It made too much

sense not to try. We ordered some (100mg) and I began taking it. The

dose I was taking was only a maintenance dose but it was making a

difference. The tumor in my throat, however, was still growing. It

was now the size of a small orange. After several more visits to

more doctors, I finally found one that listened. He sent me to a

doctor in Philadelphia who recommended I have the tumor taken out.

The tumor, it turned out, was malignant. It was part of the Vagus

Nerve, a cranial nerve, that starts at the top of the head (exactly

where my headache was) and winds through the body down through the

digestive tract, which was why I couldn't keep any food down. Once

again the oncologists paid me a visit and offered me their services.

Once again I refused. The doctor told me I was not able to wish

away, did I know? - but I knew exactly what I would do. I ordered

the laetrile soon after I got home. It worked so immediately and so

effectively once I was taking the right amount for my condition.

I continued to improve much to the amazement of the doctors. I am

truly glad I read about laetrile.. I thank my heavenly Father for my

life and also for the information He has provided for me. He has

been with me every step of the way. He provided everything I needed

from the necessary appointments to the finances I needed for the

many expenses. I share my story with all those who want to know.

Most do not want to know or do not believe me. I thank God for my

family and friends who stood by me completely: and also for you,

David, who patiently explained what I needed to know and answered my

questions fully. You never made me feel rushed while making an

order. That is so helpful especially in such a stressful time. Thank

you so much. Nicol Rush

 

An Update on Tina Homes, Maidstone, Kent

RE: Tina

 

Dear Phillip

 

Are the B17 tablets to which you refer the amgydalin tablets? If so

Tina is already taking those. She also tells me that she is also

taking the pancreatic enzymes. Apparently she has been doing so for

a while - you had sent her information about this already. She did

not know however about the vitamins A & E emulsion.

 

Since I sent out the update prayer letter, Tina has given us some

terrific news. Did you know that she also had a rather large lump on

her back these past few months? She telephoned me about 2 weeks ago

to say that she thought that it had got smaller. She was not sure

though. However, she phoned at 8.30 a.m. last Saturday morning - as

early as she dared - so excited to say that the lump has gone. She

had been determined to check it out so she went and had a shower,

and a good 'feel' around. She says it has gone ! Praise the Lord !

That has boosted her no end as you can well imagine. We were very

excited about it at church on Sunday! We knew that she was due to

have the heavy dose of chemo on the Monday, and that it will be

January before she goes back to London to see the consultant. He

will be able to give us the medical profession's opinion, not only

about her back, but also about the lump on her lung.

 

We are looking forward to a pleasing confirmation then of what we

believe to be true - that she has been healed. I am sure that you

will wish to join us in celebrating then, won't you! I'll certainly

keep you posted !

 

God bless

 

Pastor Phil Robling

(Maidstone, Kent)

 

 

1st November 1999

 

Donald Factor is the son of cosmetics entrepreneur Max Factor.

Donald tells how B17 Metabolic Therapy in Doctor Contreras' Oasis of

Hope Clinic saved his life. This November, Donald is overjoyed to

celebrate 13 years of further life (and still counting!) – life that

orthodox medicine was unable to grant him. Here is his testimony.

 

 

 

" My name is Donald Factor. I was living in London in November of

1986 when I was diagnosed with carcinoma of the lung that had spread

to my liver. Basically the doctors in England didn't hold a lot of

hope for me. They were very apologetic and offered a treatment which

they thought might extend my life for a little while, but not for

very long. I didn't feel like accepting that prognosis and decided

to go and see Dr. Contreras. I'd met Dr. Contreras a few years

before in a conference in England and was very impressed with his

approach. He told us they used modern medicine combined with other

natural things and a lot of love and faith. My wife and I moved from

England to Los Angeles and then we drove down to Tijuana to the

Oasis hospital where I was treated.

 

When I arrived I was in an extremely weak condition. It was 10 days

after the original diagnosis and the cancer had spread to my spine.

I was in excruciating pain with my sciatic nerve affected so I could

hardly walk. I was loosing weight rapidly too. They took a look at

me at the Contreras clinic and were quite concerned. They too were

not very optimistic about my future, but as Dr. Contreras Sr. said,

because both I and my wife were very committed to doing everything

possible to beat the cancer, they were prepared to work with us. To

make a long story short, it succeeded. I knew Tijuana. I was born

and raised in Los Angeles, and it was a place we used to go to do

naughty things when we were teenagers. It wasn't ever a place that I

associated with getting well, rather a place that I associated with

getting sick.

 

I was very impressed with the Contreras clinic when I went inside

and met the people; I had never experienced a hospital where the

doctors would treat me as a human being instead of a bunch of

symptoms or a disease walking through the door. Suddenly, there was

a team of people there who were interested in me and they were

involving me in the course my treatment would take. I was being

asked, I was being informed and suddenly I was part of the team that

was treating me. I wasn't just an object that was being treated. And

that was tremendous and I realized there was another side to Tijuana

that I never imagined possible in my youth.

 

This all happened in 1986 so it will be 13 years this November.

After the initial metabolic treatment and about a year of home

therapy, I was totally clear of any sign of cancer. I went back

regularly for check-ups and after about three years of being in

remission, the doctors said I was cured. I said, 'I thought in the

cancer business you were never cured.' And they said,' Well it is

silly to keep writing down 'Remission' year after year. We'll see

you whenever you want to come back.' And that was that.

 

I already had a lot of ideas about the orthodoxy, I suppose I'd call

it, of modern science. I was never happy with it. I had known people

with HIV and Aids and I was always rather disturbed at the way that

disease was treated and how in those days it seemed that anyone who

was diagnosed with HIV was dead within a couple of years. It didn't

seem right to me, it seemed to me that there was something else and

I knew a bit about alternatives and complimentary medicine. My wife

had been involved with some hands on healing work before that, so I

was very open to other ways of doing things. I had never had a

direct experience myself as a patient being involved in a place

where love and human kindness were actually applied as part of the

program. I have to say it was a revelation.

 

My name has been given to people and I have happily talked with them

telling them pretty much what I tell you now. I think one of the

main things that helped early on in my treatment was the use of a

catheter which was able to feed the IV medications directly into my

liver. I think it was a Hickman catheter inserted into my umbilical

vein that was able to stay in for about a year. It made taking all

the medication much easier. One could simply inject whatever was

needed into the end of a plastic tube and it would get through the

catheter to the body without the worry of needles and veins. That

was wonderful. It made life much easier and the quality of the

treatment better. It worked amazingly. "

Dear David

I have recently started taking B17 in seed form following my recent

order, following completion of Phase I & 2 Metabolic Therapy with

oral B-17. Recently had good test results showing that my bladder

cancer is in remission and that I only have a very small area of low-

grade cancer in my prostrate which was almost undetectable.

 

Is the seed form sufficient for ongoing treatment or should I revert

to the Metabolic Therapy? I am taking at the moment the recommended

1seed for every 10 pounds of body weight.

 

I know you are not a doctor and I hope you do not mind the question -

I do not have anyone in the UK who I can ask the question.

Dear David

Mary Mattson has progressed through Phase I and the Phase II supply

is reaching its end. She has spinal cancer and was in a wheelchair

in February. Since she has started this program she has progressed

tremendously, and combined with her strong faith in God, she is now

walking around the neighborhood and basically beginning to live a

normal life. Through her doctor's monitoring, and continued tests,

she has been told that if her condition continues to improve and

testing continues to reveal the same improvement she has experienced

so far, she will be pronounced to be in remission by November. I

have mentioned to her that she needs to write her story to you as

one of your testimonies. I think that she will. Thank you for being

available, and I thank the Lord that we found you.

Dear Geoff

 

I thought you would like to know about my father-in-law who was

diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease last year (which is cancer of the

lymph system) - he had been very run down for a long period of time

having to cope with my mother-in-law who had been getting

progressively worse with Alzheimer's.

 

He got so run down and weary with life that his immune system just

collapsed and he got these nodules growing at the base side of his

neck. He eventually resorted to go to Christie's in Manchester for

radiotherapy and he lost half the hair on one side of his head,

apart from feeling dreadful.

 

Following the six-week course the specialist said that it looked as

though they had caught the cancer in time before it started to

spread through the rest of his lymphatic system - he was very

relieved.

 

Several weeks later - guess what - the nodules started growing

again - my father in law certainly did not want to have radiation

again and resigned himself to the fact that the cancer was going to

kill him and there was nothing that he could do about it.

 

Just at that time you had started to e-mail me with info about

Vitamin B17 and I decided to order it for my father in law. I gave

him a bag of apricot kernels and a tub of 500mg B17 tablets - which

he took religiously until he had finished them. He felt quite ill

and sick when he was on them, but the nodules started to shrink

after three weeks. On visiting the specialist several weeks later,

the specialist could not believe that the most recent scan showed no

sign of the cancer - he was truly amazed and asked my father in law

to return again 6 weeks later - just to make sure.

 

After 6 weeks and a further scan the specialist confirmed his

earlier statement that the cancer has indeed gone! - he does not

want to see my father in law now for a further 6 months! - Everyone

is very happy again now - all thanks to B17.

 

All thanks and praise to you, Geoff, for helping t o spread the life-

saving word !

If I Can Do It, So Can You!

by Hilary Englefield

(October 1999)

 

 

I was shattered when I was told I had cancer. The doctor said I had

to have a radical mastectomy on the right breast and a partial

mastectomy on the left breast. This surgical procedure would then

probably be followed by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or both, and

removal of the lymph nodes if this was deemed necessary. I had

previously requested a blood test, but was told that there was no

specific blood test available.

 

It was obvious from the Internet that people in America treat many

different types of cancer with a non-carcinogenic, organic diet and

vitamins and minerals, plus other natural plant extracts, and I

contacted some of the organisations promoting these therapies. They

were wonderfully supportive. Tina Cooke, who had been to Mexico for

treatment, also gave me immediate help and advice about her regimen.

I remembered a book called Killing Cancer, by Jason Winters, in

which he described searching all over the world for a cure, and how

he found the ingredients for a herbal tea which is known to kill

cancer cells.

 

I sought a second opinion, which proved to be very negative, during

which the oncologist repeated that there was no specific blood test

available that would show whether the cancer cells were

proliferating. This, I later discovered, was not correct, as a blood

test had been developed in 1998 in the USA, and was available in

England through London laboratories.

 

I then decided to seek a third opinion from a doctor. I had known

her for many years, and felt I could rely on her implicitly. She

confirmed that I had Paget's disease of the nipple, which could

produce multiple tumours overnight and spread rapidly (in fact, I

had suffered from this disease already for four months, since June,

when I was referred to the cancer clinic). Together we designed a

programme of treatment including Vitamins A, C, E, all the B's,

magnesium, betaine, folic acid, linseed oil capsules and other

items. One of the main therapies we used was intravenous amygdalin

(vitamin B17), which I obtained from America and gave to the doctor,

who administered it on alternate days. I attended the hospital each

day as an out-patient..

 

I started my treatment programme in mid - November 1998, and within

a fortnight, I felt 20 years younger. In February 1999 my blood test

results were normal; the cancer had regressed and was not now

apparent. My intravenous injections were gradually reduced, one by

one, and I have now ceased my hospital treatment. My oral

supplements, which I take at home, include vitamins and minerals,

plus other natural plant extracts. I also take Jason Winter's tea,

and Essiac, a similar tea based on a formula an ex-nurse discovered

in Canada..

 

I now anticipate being alive to see my grandchildren grow up and

would advise anyone in a similar position to seek a second or even

third opinion, until they are satisfied that the information they

are given is correct. One book in particular I recommend for solid

advice on cancer treatment alternatives is Phillip Day's Cancer: Why

We're Still Dying to Know the Truth. I was convinced that there had

to be an alternative to surgery and chemotherapy. I hope my

testimony gives people hope, and the chance to say, " If she can do

it, why can't 1? " .

My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in May '99. Frantically,

I spent many hours on the internet and found, " World Without

Cancer " . I read all the information then decided to order the 21 day

Metobolic Therapy. I had the vitamins (Laetrile etc.) ordered

overnight. I immediately got my mom started on the program. Her

surgery was scheduled 9 days after I received the Vitamins. She

followed the protocol faithfully for 9 days. During the 9 days she

detoxed heavily.

 

When she went in for surgery the doctors had to take her in to x-ray

to take another mammogram so they could inject a dye around the

tissue that had been affected (since the area was so small it could

not be detected by a physical examination). The dye was to be used

for the doctor to follow where the cancer was. While in x-ray (2

hours) the radiologist could no longer find the spot where the

cancer had been detected. My mother never told the doctors about the

Laetrile she had been taking. After surgery, the doctor came out and

told me that they know they got it all, and that the spot was

smaller then the tip of your baby finger.

 

During the time she was is x-ray (2 hours) the nurses and hospital

were standing around talking about this matter in shock. The x-ray

should have only taken approx. 5 minutes. Needless to say her

surgery was postponed for an hour. She is absolutely doing " Great "

and I attribute this to God and Laetrile. My Mom has become a

Vitamin Queen and I myself take Laetrile as a preventative. We must

focus on keeping a strong and healthy immune system and eating right.

 

Thank You Very Much David!! God Bless you!!

 

 

Swimming Against the Tide

A report by Tina Cooke

 

 

 

 

 

In January 1999 I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast

cancer. I underwent three major surgeries and was supposed to follow

through the course of six chemotherapies, radiation and a stem cell

transplant. Vulnerable as you are when diagnosed and given an

extremely poor prognosis, I agreed to any form of treatment my

surgeons and oncologists saw fit. In hindsight, I realise that I

must have taken leave of my senses. Never once did I question them,

or ask them for further information or papers on the chemotherapy

substances they would be using, such as Tamoxifen. Like so many

others, I have children, am 42 years old, and have a job. To be told

that your odds of living are 30 percent in the first five years is

pretty grim. So in the end, because I wanted to survive, the doctors

had my full co-operation to do whatever they wanted.

 

I got through the surgeries, amputee that I am, but I could live

with that. But I managed just three of the six chemotherapies. The

first one was a doddle. I had no problem with it, and thought that

if that was all there was to it, well I can handle it! I read and

read orthodox books.

 

The second chemo took its toll. I began to flare up with fungi

growing over my body. My hair began rapidly to fall out - it was so

heartbreaking, but a small price to pay, or so I thought. Rashes

appeared all over my body. The nausea and tiredness took their toll.

By the third chemo, I was unrecognisable, visually and mentally. I

was despondent, lost my will, was losing weight, and physically

finding it difficult to cope. The worst pain was not being able to

live a normal life with my children. So here I was spending the last

years of my life in misery, with my kids accepting that their mother

was no longer theirs as they knew her.

 

By a twist of good luck and with a prayer to God, I w

as fortunate enough to bump into two old school friends whose

father, Teddy Goldsmith, was the owner and publisher of the

Ecologist magazine. I had been aware of this publication since my

school days and knew that it dealt with matters of the environment.

But like most people who live in a cocooned existence, magazines

like his didn't really mean much to me. I had never read anything to

do with degenerative diseases, let alone the potential of the harm

we as humans were doing to ourselves by abusing the environment. But

Teddy had vision. He didn't have any aspirations to be a politician

or make money out of informing people of the impending hazards

associated with our world. He just wanted people to understand that

we should behave more responsibly towards our environment and try

and look after ourselves and our children for the future. To me this

man has been my saviour.

 

Teddy gave me a copy of one of his issues, Cancer - Are the Experts

Lying? I looked at the copy for several days and finally found the

energy and the will to read it. I was horrified. This man was able

to explain to me that cancer didn't need to be so debilitating. That

cancer could be controlled, but not the orthodox way as we all knew

it. But how?

 

It was all there. Factual information about how the pharmaceutical

industry worked, about alternative treatments available in other

countries, statistics showing that thousands and thousands of people

were being cured by natural methods and what cancer meant to the

pharmaceutical industry.

 

I remembered a conversation I had with my oncologist. He had

said: " If you were my daughter, although the stem cell treatment is

experimental, I would suggest you have it in the light of your poor

prognosis. It will cost you in the region of £25,000 but I believe

you will be able to recoup some of this through your insurance

company. "

 

It suddenly dawned on me. Cancer really was a business. Was it

possible that the experts knew what they were doing to us? I believe

they do. How many times do you see headlines breaking news

like... " Cancer Breakthrough! New drug shows promise of curing

cancer - the magic bullet. " Two days later, there will be further

front-page news on how successful the experiments were on mice. Two

days later... " Sorry, unfortunately this treatment will not be

available for at least ten years, and anyway we don't know if it

will have the same success results on humans as it does with mice. "

Watch the share price of the drug company concerned!

 

In the end I made the decision to travel to Mexico to be treated at

Stella Maris, one of the 20 or so hugely popular Tijuana cancer

clinics specialising in alternative cancer therapies. The treatments

I received included the replacement of mercury amalgam tooth

fillings, intravenous drips of laetrile, a complete change of diet,

including organic fruits and vegetables. I also received other

complementary therapies, including DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide), Vitamin

C, lymphatic massage and daily supplements individually tailored for

each patient. Within one week, the change was evident to all,

including a Daily Mail journalist who had flown to Mexico to record

my progress for a forthcoming article in her paper's Sunday

magazine, " You " . My mouth ulcer had cleared up, my hair was looking

more lustrous and I was full of energy for the first time in months.

 

I returned to England a new woman. My cancer was not yet cured, but

controlled. After months of questions, investigation, checking and

re-checking, I decided to form the Cancer Alternative Information

Bureau (CAIB). It is not a charity but merely an information bureau

where I can share what I have found with anyone who wishes to know.

My search has led me to identify some brilliant doctors, who had,

like me, also become disillusioned with the orthodox approach to

cancer, who even today work tirelessly with alternative therapies,

achieving good results in this field. Cancer cannot always be cured

but it certainly can be controlled.

 

With breast cancer we now find that the death rate is escalating out

of control, especially in England. HRH The Prince of Wales announced

in England recently that he would become patron of Breakthrough, a

research organisation dedicated to finding the cause of cures for

breast cancer. Many celebrities are supportive of this organisation,

but most have not yet had the courage to come forward and help us

make a stand against the intransigence of the cancer industry.

 

I believe the time has come for the blinders to come off and for the

truth about ALL cancer treatments to emerge. The age-old cliché

still holds true - THE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW. My hope is

that you will find our organisation of great use in helping you to

become educated about this subject through our information pack and

books like Phillip Day's " Cancer: Why We're Still Dying to Know the

Truth " , available from this Internet site. There is great hope here!

Help us spread the word. Help us spread the hope of life.

 

Kind regards

Tina Cooke

 

 

 

 

Dear David,

George went to the oncologist today and had blood work done. The

blood work came back better than it ever has. That was great. Found

out that the pain pills, Percoset, were causing the headaches. We

have cut back as you instructed me and he is doing better with the B-

17. I also had to listen to the lecture from the doctor that

Laetrile does not work and that it can kill you. He says he has

documentation that shows this. I am going to take the papers with me

on July 16, at the next appointment and show him differently.

 

Thank you so much for your help and responding. I will contact you

in a couple of days and let you know how George is coming along.

Again, thank you so much.

 

Sincerely,

Deborah Burns

 

UPDATE FROM DAVID ARJONA AT WORLD WITHOUT CANCER INC.:

I got a call from George Burns and his entire family two weeks ago.

He is completely cancer free. He can be reached at (407) 636 1047.

He will talk to anyone.

 

 

A circular letter follows from Pastor P Robling of Maidstone,

England regarding one of his parishioners, Tina Homes, who decided

to treat her cancer with B17 therapy after reading Phillip Day's

book, " Cancer: Why We're Still Dying to Know the Truth " :

 

13th July 1999

 

Dear all

" I am sure that you will be anxious to know how Tina is getting on.

The good news is that she has put on some weight - a full 14lbs in

fact. That is such excellent news because Tina had lost so much.

 

 

Author Phillip Day with Tina Homes

 

Recently Tina and David went up to London to see the consultant

following the operation performed in June to remove the tumours from

the small bowel. The consultant confirmed that the operation had

gone well. What was more significant for Tina and David was the

statement that " ... you have defied all the records " . Tina has since

said to us: " Well, we know why that

is, don't we! "

 

The consultant advised that Tina undergoes another course of very

much stronger chemotherapy. I understand that Tina has had some of

this several years ago, and that the side effects of this are likely

to be quite severe. However, Tina's response to the news was very

positive, and given that she has three months before her next visit

to London, declared that " that gives me enough time for the apricot

seeds to have had some effect. "

 

Generally Tina has been looking so much better, and has also managed

to increase her intake of apricot seeds. At the last count, she was

consuming as many as 30 per day - but she needs to get up to 60 a

day. For those of you who have not been informed as to what the

significance of 'apricot seeds' is, may I suggest you read Phillip

Day's book, " Cancer: Why We're Still Dying to Know the Truth. " I can

obtain a copy (£9.95 plus p & p) for you if you are interested. Some

recipes for including the seeds in a more palatable form are

currently being investigated. "

I recently was tested for colon cancer and surgeon has removed

several suspicious looking polyps. Since his discovery, I have taken

various herbal compound teas, such as essiac, cansema/black salve

and now I am taking apricot seeds. The cancer was discovered about 3

months ago. The test two weeks ago appears to indicate the condition

has stabilized and possibly is now no longer malignant (according to

the surgeon's written report from the pathology lab.)

 

I am now in the maintenance mode for both the indicated colon

cancer, as well as the skin cancer I had two years ago. I treated

with black salve, topically and cansema (liquid black salve),

internally. I avoid pharmaceuticals as much as possible. I agree

with the concepts in your critique of the book.

 

Thanks again. It is reassuring there are those tough and intelligent

enough to resist the sand dwellers/those in denial and believe

medical doctors are the only ones who are not quacks.

All I can tell you is that I had a growth about the size of a pea on

my eyelid for two years and nothing would change it. The eye doctor

said he thought it was cancerous but I did not have any tests. After

4 months of taking one b17 tablet per day and 15 apricot seeds per

day the growth has totally dissappeared.

To Whom It May Concern,

I have read your info for my father, who has adenocarinomia of the

colon. The VA nurse said years ago she injected a patient with

Laetrile and it did not work. She said it had been so long that she

doesn't remember what type of cancer he had. My father is on a fixed

income, which makes this hard to try also. Do you have to take

everything with the B-17 or can you just take certain parts instead

of all? I am very much into organic and/or natural and I have got my

father to try and do the same. Any info or help would greatly be

appreciated. Thank you and God bless.

Our Family's Experiences with Cancer

 

by Libby Logan

(20th May 1999)

 

The following is a recount of my family's history of cancer and my

beliefs about the disease and its cure. No claims of curing cancer

are implied. This is simply my personal belief about cancer.

 

The history:

 

12 years ago my mother died of complications of breast cancer

(metastasis to the liver), six months later her mother died of the

same horrible disease (metastasis to the bone). This was the

beginning of my research into alternative cures for cancer. I come

away from this 12 year journey with the belief that cancer is

curable and that we need not ever be faced with it. The cure and

prevention is nutritionally based. None of the cures damage your

body like traditional cancer treatments. They work to strengthen

your immune system so that you are able to fight and conquer cancer.

 

My most recent experiences with cancer are about my sister and

myself. Last October 1997, I returned to the clinic to have a

suspicious area of my breast re-x-rayed. It had grown and now was a

threat. With my family history, the week that passed before the

lumpectomy was shear hell. I was a nervous wreck, I felt a sickening

fear that this was the beginning of the end.

 

My lumpectomy revealed a pre-cancerous condition. The surgeon's

recommendation was a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. The

thought of never having to worry about breast cancer again was like

lifting the weight of the world from my shoulders. After talking

with my family we all agreed that this was the best course of

action. So I made plans to stay with my sister in Atlanta and have

the surgery performed. It would be a free form flap reconstruction,

where they utilized tissue from my belly to re-build my breasts. The

surgery was very successful and by the end of December I well on my

way to recovery.

 

The day of my November lumpectomy my sister noticed a lump on her

sternum, right between her breasts. She rushed to the doctor the

next week to get it chec

ked out. She was told it was nothing to worry about, but was

scheduled for a non-emergency needle biopsy. After more than a

month, several inconclusive needle biopsies and no diagnosis she was

finally scheduled for a lumpectomy. The surgeon told her following

the surgery that he had found a lypoma (a benign cyst), but that

there was a tumor in the chest wall behind the lypoma. It would be

several days before we would have a biopsy report. Again terror

coursed through us we sweated out the week of waiting that would

follow. The doctor waited until her postoperative visit to tell her

the biopsy was positive. She had large cell, diffuse, immunoblastic

lymphoma. She would be put through a battery of tests that would

determine how far along her cancer was and how fast it was growing.

We were referred to see an oncologist who would take over my

sister's care. She seemed nice but detached like most physicians.

The tests started with a bone marrow biopsy. An excruciatingly

painful process where they manually bore holes in your bone through

your lower back, with no anesthesia! We waded through the sea of

tests and began the waiting game again.

 

The news was bad, it was stage four, grade three. Stage four cancer

is the worst stage. It could be fatal. Grade three means it is the

second fastest growing cancer (four being the fastest). The good

news about a grade three cancer is " the faster they grow, the faster

they die " . Smoldering, slow growing cancers like multiple myloma and

some breast cancers are the hardest for traditional therapies to

kill. We were scared to death. There was some confusion caused by

the bone marrow biopsy that led her doctors to suspect multiple

myloma (it has no traditional cure and is always fatal long term,

with traditional therapies). So we learned that they had to have

more cancerous tissue to do a test (flow symmetry) that they should

have originally done. Lucky for us she had a new tumor developing

right next to the original site. They did a second lumpectomy and

the lymphoma diagnosis was confirmed. Finally, two long months after

her first doctors visit with the lump, she had a diagnosis. Her Chop

chemotherapy started in early January. We wondered how much this

fast growing cancer progressed in the two months it took to get a

diagnosis.

 

My sister was very concerned about traditional thera

py. Our experience with it 12 years earlier with our mother and

grandmother was very negative. We both had a deep-seated belief that

traditional therapies rarely saved your life and they most certainly

damage your body giving rise to new disease caused by a compromised

immune system.

 

We researched her cancer and the statistics for cure (not just

remission) with traditional chop chemotherapy. The statistics showed

chemo had a good chance for cure. It was especially true in my

sister's case because of the presentation of the cancer. She had

only the two pea sized tumors on her sternum and cancer cells in her

bone marrow on one side. She did not have wide spread tumors, nor

any bones involved. Her chances were really ok. She was given a 30%

chance of long term survival. This 30% includes older and weaker

patients. My sister is 42, is healthy and strong. So technically she

had a better than 30% chance. We decided she should go ahead with

the chop therapy while investigating other alternative therapies.

 

We bought every book about cancer and alternative therapies we could

get our hands on. We revisited research I had done 12 years earlier

after my mother died. I spent countless hours on the Internet

researching case histories and alternative testimonials. We weighed

each therapy carefully. We used our intuition about our bodies to

help weigh the worth of the therapies. But most importantly we

searched for hard, long-term evidence with case histories to back up

claims.

 

One of the problems with alternative therapy is that there are

few " studies " performed on them. Because the cure is usually

something widely available, it is not usually patentable. So as a

result there is not money to be made in developing and selling the

cure. If there is no financial future in it why spend thousands in

researching the cure's worth? Well that's the way of the

pharmaceutical business. So you are faced with looking at years of

information about an alternative

therapy to see it's worth.

 

After all of our reading and research we came up with a plan. My

sister would continue CHOP chemotherapy while we worked very hard to

keep her immune system strong and also practised several alternative

therapies that would not interfere with the CHOP therapy. This was

our cure:

 

The Treatment:

 

1. Traditional CHOP Chemotherapy

 

2. Essiac, an herbal tea available in most health food stores made

by Flora, called Floressence. Formula is originated with an American

Indian tribe and passed on to the Canadian nurse Renee Caisse

(Essiac, spelled backwards). Used for many decades, it has a long

and positive history. There is also a book about Essiac available in

most health food stores. Reduces tumor size, helps with pain and

nausea. I took twice per day, my sister took it three times per day

[available through Credence Publications. Please contact us for

details].

 

3. The Gerson Therapy. A nutritionally based cancer cure. The Gerson

Institute located in California 619-585-7600. There are two

hospitals that administer this therapy, one in Mexico and the other

in Arizona. This is very intensive and unless you have a full time

caregiver that has no other responsibility I recommend you go to the

hospital for no less than four weeks. You can take your caregiver

with you and they will teach them to care for you. I was able to

reverse rolls with my sister and be her full-time caregiver. I also

have a very strong knowledge of nutrition and am a chef. So we were

able to do the therapy at home. This therapy is so intense in fact

that we gave my sister a modified form of it, so as not to detox her

body too quickly. This therapy has the highest cure rate I have

found demonstrated with proof and thousands of case histories. The

therapy includes a fresh organic juice every waking hour, coffee

enemas every four hours, organic whole foods, mostly raw or cooked

with very low temperatures so as not to damage nutrients. Organic

(vegetarian) Vegan eating for 6-8 weeks and then slowly adding some

organic dairy products. Many supplements; pancreatin, acidol,

thyroid, niacin, liver caps, injected liver extract and B-12,

potassium compound and lugol's solution. This is very intense. We

did all the supplements, all the juices, one coffee enema per day

and we added two of the Gerson adjunctive therapies; Laetrile and

enzyme therapy. 3000mg of laetrile per day, 14 apricot pits and

three magazyme tabs per day. She had some problems with anemia late

in the CHOP (caused by chop) so we added iron, B complex, 10,000mg

vitamin C, betacarotene, Vitamin E to promote red blood cell

production. We also served lightly steamed spinach every day while

she was anemic. Two books that are a must; " A Cancer Therapy " , by

Dr. Max Gerson and the " Gerson Primer " , a handbook for the therapy.

These books are available through the Gerson Institute. The Primer

will tell you how to order all the supplies you need, including

Laetrile.

 

4. A positive, happy environment. The most important part of my

sister's treatment was that we assured her a worry free environment.

I believe doing the research and reading about all the cured cases

gave my sister a great deal of positive hope. She believed as did I,

from the beginning that we would beat this cancer. We believed we

were doing all the right things and that she would be cured.... and

so she was.

 

She was in remission as of April 1st. All of her tests were negative

and she was cancer free. I practiced the therapy while I cared for

her. I continue to practice the Gerson therapy in a modified fashion

to maintain my health. I am cancer free as well. I must say after

following this regimen for four months. I'm 40 and I don't think

I've felt as healthy, strong and full of energy since I was in high

school. While my sister was on the road to regaining her strength

she faltered and cheated on the diet and stopped taking all of the

supplements. The six CHOP therapy sessions really wiped her out

despite our alternative therapies. She found out on 8/6/98 that she

had slipped into a recurrence of the lymphom

a. She now faces a bone marrow transplant. The therapy works but you

must be very disciplined and strict about you adherence to the

program.

 

I would like to add, I truly believe that if you do not want to get

cancer you need only maintain your Vitamin B-17 (laetrile, also

called amygdalin) each day and eat a healthy diet of organic, mostly

raw fruits and vegetables and cooked grains and legumes. Laetrile is

available in pill form from Mexico, you can order it from STAT SA

(get order form from Gerson Primer) or through Christian Brother's

office 718-767-3137. For Maintenance you can eat 7-14 apricot seeds

(found inside the pit). This will give you 50-75mg of Laetrile per

day. Most health food stores can get it for you if they don't

already stock it. Some people will tell you it is toxic...it is not!

 

I try to always practice vegetarian eating, no dairy products, only

organic meat, when I do eat it (<1x month). I try to only eat

organic food when ever possible. Most grocers or health food stores

will order it for you. The Gerson Institute will give phone numbers

of patients in your area that can help you source your food, and may

even be willing to split cases of produce with you.

 

If I can be of any help to you, let me know. You can call me at 205-

939-4020. I am happy to share anything I can with you or help you

source products and equipment.

 

Good luck, stay focused God's speed....

Libby

 

 

" Few if any names in cancer research are as widely known as

Kanematsu Sugiura's... Possibly the highest regard in which his work

is held is best characterized by a comment made to me by a visiting

investigator in cancer research from Russia. He said, " When Dr

Sugiura publishes, we know we don't have to repeat the study, for we

would obtain the same results he has reported. " " So wrote Dr C

Chester Stock, head of Sloan-Kettering's cancer drug-testing

division.

Dr Kanematsu Sugiura, arguably America's leading cancer biochemist

of the `70s, was given the task of researching B17

laetrile/amygdalin to determine whether it could prevent or regress

cancer. After a five-year series of trials during which Dr Sugiura

eminently proved the startling effectiveness of this treatment, his

peers convened a press conference in New York. Dr Robert Good,

President of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Institute where Dr Sugiura

worked, rose to his feet to address the gathering:

" After careful and exhaustive testing of laetrile, it was found to

possess neither preventative, nor tumor-regressant, nor anti-

metastatic, nor curative anti-cancer activity. "

" Dr Sugiura! " a reporter suddenly shouted. " Do you stick by your

belief that laetrile stops the spread of cancer? "

The room suddenly became very quiet as the TV cameras turned on the

elderly Japanese doctor for his reaction. Dr Sugiura calmly looked

the reporter in the eye and, in a clear voice, replied, " I stick! "

 

Q : Who are some of the top doctors who have embraced Metabolic

Therapy and the deficiency concept of cancer?

A: Some of the many are as follows:

West Germany: Dr Hans Nieper, former Director of the Department of

Medicine at Silbersee Hospital in Hanover. Pioneered cobalt therapy

and the anti-cancer drug cyclophosphamide. Former head of

Aschaffenburg Hospital Laboratory. Listed in Who's Who in World

Science. Former Director of the German Society for Medical Tumour

Treatment. During a visit to the United States in 1972, Dr Nieper

told reporters: " After more than twenty years of such specialised

work, I have found non-toxic nitrilosides – that is, laetrile – far

superior to any other known cancer treatment or preventative. In my

opinion, it is the only existing possibility for the ultimate

control of cancer. "

Canada: Dr N R Bouziane, former Director of Research Laboratories at

St Jeanne D'Arc Hospital in Montreal. Dean of the American

Association of Bio-Analysts. He also received a doctorate in science

from the University of Montreal and St Joseph's University, an

affiliate of Oxford University in New Brunswick. Dr Bouziane's

repeated successes in treating cancers with laetrile were written up

in the Cancer News Journal, Jan/April 1971, p.20 under the article

heading " The Laetrile Story " .

 

Philippines: Dr Manuel Navarro, former Professor of Medicine and

Surgery at the University of Santo Tomas, Manila. Associate Member

of the National Research Council of the Philippines. A Fellow of the

Philippine College of Physicians, the Philippine Society of

Endocrinology and Metabolism. A member of the Philippine Medical

Association, the Philippine Cancer Society and many other medical

groups. Dr Navarro is an internationally recognised cancer

researcher with over 100 major scientific papers to his credit, some

read before the International Cancer Congress. Dr Navarro has

treated terminally ill cancer patients with laetrile for over 25

years. He stated in the Cancer News Journal: " It is my carefully

considered clinical judgement, as a practising oncologist and

researcher in this field, that I have obtained most significant and

encouraging results with the use of laetrile-amygdalin in the

treatment of terminal cancer patients... "

 

Italy: Professor Etore Guidetti of the University of Turin Medical

School. Dr Guidetti addressed the Conference of the International

Union Against Cancer held in Brazil in 1954 and announced startling

cancer, including cervix, breast, uterus and rectum. After his

speech, an American doctor rose in the audience, challenging the

.. 11/71 Sent to A.R.E. by John W. Patrick, an associate member:

 

" Holding an associate membership in the A.R.E. has

given me

an opportunity to read and try some of the treatments

which

Mr. Cayce gave in his many readings. We have tried

eating

almonds daily, for that matter still do, and have

found that

it appears to work, so far as minimizing the

appearance of

pimples or acne. My two older boys, who are young men

now,

grew up without the benefit of trying the almonds, did

have

pimples during their adolescent years. The youngster

who has

tried eating several almonds daily, and still does,

and who

is at present sixteen years old, does not show any

signs of

pimples or acne. We believe the almond treatment or

the

taking of almonds daily is beneficial to us and does

work. "

 

 

10. (Q) What can I do to improve skin condition of face

and

back, and of scalp and hair?

(A) At least once a week, after a good, thorough

workout of

body in exercise - following the bath afterward,

massage the

 

 

 

 

 

1206-13 Page 4

 

back, the face, the body, the limbs with Pure Peanut

Oil.

Then this will add to the beauty. And know, if ye

would take

each day, through thy experience, two almonds, ye will

never

have skin blemishes, ye will never be tempted even in

body

toward cancer nor towards those things that make

blemishes in

the body-forces themselves. And the oil rubs once a

week, ye

will never have rheumatism nor those concurrent

conditions

from stalemate in liver and kidney activities. [see

1206-13,

Par. R2.]

 

650-1

 

1. GC: You will have before you the research which has

been

done on the structure of Biotin, as announced by

Professor

Vincent du Vigneaud, head of the Department of

Biochemistry,

Cornell University Medical College, Ithaca, N.Y. You

will

give a discourse on the mechanism of action of this

powerful

vitamin, as to bring about a clearer understanding of

its

effect on living things. Also you will advise if this

chemical can be found in fish eggs; such as caviar,

roe, etc.

 

2. EC: Yes, - we have here the findings that have been

indicated by Professor Vigneaud.

 

3. This, as we find, is a move in a direction in which

improvements may be made in the general health of

individuals

where such tendencies of cancer are indicated.

 

4. As to any great value, as yet, in the preventing or the

eradicating of conditions where these growths have

reached

such proportions as to be cellular forces in

themselves, -

this is yet questioned.

 

5. Biotin, as called, is found in the roe, especially of

the

shark and such fish, - more than it would be found in

caviar

or sturgeon.

 

6. This, of course, may be used as a means for removing

those

tendencies, and where conditions are begun.

 

7. Of course, as is understood, this disturbance (cancer)

to

the human body is of a different nature from many of

the

ills of the body. It, of course, is in many forms and

characteristics. Those forms that are external may be

aided much by the use of certain rays or lights that

destroy certain cellular force, and make for the

ability

of a healthy body in other respects to meet conditions.

 

8. Those forms that are of the nature where glands are

involved,

- as in the breast or the like, - may be removed, in

some

stages of same, by surgery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. Those forms that are of the internal nature, - as in

the

lungs, the liver, the organs of the body, - and

especially

the female organs, - are of another character.

 

10. These all represent or present varied problems.

 

11. Now, the use of Biotin in any of these conditions

would be

a helpful influence, for it creates in itself an

element

that changes the form of the vibration about the

molecule

of the blood, or the circulation through such areas.

 

12. It would be well that this research be carried on.

 

 

 

 

 

TEXT OF READING 3313-1 F 2. EC: Yes. As we find,

conditions are such that there may be

a staying of the disturbances, but these activities

are of

the consuming nature.

 

3. If there is the desire, there may be used the

influences that

we might suggest - though these will not heal, or

remove

causes. For, as has been indicated oft, causes may be

karma.

Karma is cause oft of hereditary conditions so

called. Then

indeed does the soul inherit that it has builded in its

experience with its fellow man in material

relationships.

 

4. The conditions here may be best retarded by the use at

times,

about once a week, of a magnet - of sufficient

strength to

raise a railroad spike, - this being passed over

affected

areas, see? This will aid in demagnetizing or

producing a

vibration that will destroy the active forces of the

consuming of cells being enlivened by the infection

itself.

 

5. Keep as normal an appetite and actions of the body as

possible.

 

6. These offer the greater help here; not a cure, but a

retarder; an easing.

 

7. Use the sedatives when intense pains arise. Hypnotics

are

preferable to narcotics.

 

 

10. (Q) What is the cause of my condition and what

treatment is

recommended?

(A) The basic cause is karmic.

I want to caution readers that apple seeds contain minute amounts of

cyanide. Also that substances contained in apricot pits combine in

the digestive tract and then break down into benzaldehyde and

hydrocyanic acid. So using these substances most definitely is NOT a

case of " if a little is good, more is better " . More can make a person

very, very sick and even kill a person. So you'll want to carefully

research these and pay strict attention to the dosages.

 

In TCM, apricot pits, aka Semen Pruni Armeniacae, aka Xing Ren, is

classified in the Herbs That Transform Phlegm and Stop Coughing

section, subsection Herbs That Relieve Coughing and Wheezing.

 

Please divide a lot of information into shorter posts as this will aid

readers in considering the information. Thanks.

[Guest guest]

I had been giving him fennel tea and a couple of fennel seeds from our

yard...didn't seem to touch the pain. And it turns out that the pain was from

the blood vessels throwing water into the intestine because of small cancers

there (the oncologist's best guess). Moxa helps with edema and hydrotherapy

seems to help some with the water pain in the abdomen cavity. He had some of

his cavity drained by needle...a process that left him exhausted and in pain for

a whole day. I don't remember if I told you that he is on delauded or not

(spelling looks wrong); it is a heroin derivitive or cousin or something. He is

trying not to take it...to taper off. Moxa and hydroptherapy are hard to do in

the hospital. Especially moxa. Anyway, we are home again after 5-6 days in teh

hospital. The bloating I mentioned earlier was the intestine's interpretation

of water pushing in on it rather than gas pushing out..though there was that as

well.

Hi Michele,

The suggestions i made were based on personal experience. I have no

clinical knowledge of how the clay or charcoal works.They it absorbs

gas/fluids/toxins, from the stomach/bowel and do a good job, as we can both a

test to.

However, it is something to be used in acute situations, not long term.

I believe that the cold nature of psyllium and its inadvisability for use

with cold constipation has been mention here a few times.

Your husbands condition and the remarks by your practitioner bear witness

to Victoria's constant admonitions not to make recommendations without having

adequate information.

So the answer to your question is i do not know, but i would surmise that

the practitioner has probably diagnosed you as having some sort of cold syndrome

and felt that psyllium would do you more harm than good.

Which is a reminder to me of why I became so enarmored with TCM. If you

cause someone physical harm " I am sorry " may be heart felt but it doesn't t ake

away the hurt.

So Michelle and others who may have been misled by my statements. I am sorry

if they have caused harm. I am a student, nota practitioner and I don't know

a whole lot. What I have learned from this is to stick to asking question,

not answering them.

Peace and Love

I hope that you and other readers will continue to mention things

that work in some cases. You might mention that you don't know the

TCM properties and criteria for use, only that they work in some

cases and may not be appropriate in all cases so further research is

needed. This way information that might help someone gets put out

but readers know to proceed cautiously because although it may help

some, it may do nothing for others and may even make some sicker

because the TCM properties and criteria aren't being followed.

 

The modern Chinese are gathering healing information from around the

world and incorporating the best into their Chinese medicine

framework. I figure if this approach is good enough for the

Chinese, it's good enough for this list. It's also a way of giving

back to TCM and the Chinese for the help they have given so many.

 

There are some members of this list who do have the training and the

talent to start figuring out TCM properties. The actual

determination of TCM properties of a substance is done by many

people over a period of time. There's a concensus before something

makes it into the Materia Medica or any other official guides. One

never knows when something someone mentions as working in some cases

will cause something to click into place for someone who can do this

and as a result help is now available for someone that wasn't

available before.

 

BTW, part of the training of some herbalists at some TCM schools is

that they have to ingest herbs and report the TCM effects they are

having. Like if the herb has a cooling or heating or neutral effect

on the body, what the taste(s) of the herb is, what kind of things

the herb causes to happen in their body (like feeling more alert, an

increase in libido, a calming effect, etc.). (Herbs won't always

have immediate effects on the body, but sometimes they do. However,

determining things like thermal energy and taste are things that

usually are soon apparent.)

[Guest guest]

Not that it is a big dearl, but, I have never seen that psyllium and cold

mentioned before, but I do not necessarily carefully read all of the posts.

Again, no biggy, just answering your post. There is absolutely no need for any

apology...at least from my point of view. You mentioned something that you

thought would help, something that helped you..........I am grateful. You are

right, I am a cold damp person. Thanks for clarifying that. I like my

practiioner, but he does'n't give me a lot of info. I onlny know I'm cold damp

from my own research and another practitioner that I see infrequently. This

present one, just treats, doesn't comment....so there, you see, you have helped.

Blessings,

Michelle

so clay and charcoal are okay for damp cold persons? I was told/and read that

charcoal sucks up the good bacteria and therefore the good bacteria need to be

replenished.....yes?

Here is some additional info on Asiatic psyllium, aka Semen (seed

of) Plantaginis, aka Che Qian Zi. (Zi in the name of a herb usually

means " seeds " . Though sometimes very small fruits also are

called " Zi " .

 

Its taste is sweet, and its thermal energy is Cold. It enters the

Bladder, Kidney, Liver, and Lung channels. It's primary

classification is an Herb That Drains Dampness. It's used for Damp

Heat. It often gets used in cases of Heat Damp diarrhea as it

solidifies the stools by promoting urination. It's one of those

herbs that has a balancing effect as it also can be used in the case

of Hot, Dry consipation. Because it also acts on the Lung channel,

it sometimes get used for Lung Heat with a lot of sputum. (It also

has Phlegm-expelling properties.) Because of the way it targets both

the Liver and Kidneys, it frequently gets combined with other herbs

for treating eye problems that involve Heat.

 

If a person has a problem with Excess Cold (too much cold because

Cold has invaded the body from the environment or the person has

been eating too many foods and herbs with cooling energy, it can be

combined with dried ginger tea. The thermal energy of the

combination is then neutral. HOWEVER, pysllium seed is

contradindicated in cases of exhausted Yang. We're talking

Deficiency Cold here. (The person being too Cold because there is

not enough Yang to warm the body properly.)(Note: When I got around

the Cold problem with psyllium by combining it with dried ginger

tea, I also was on Yang tonic herbs.)

 

Psyllium also is contraindicated in pregnancies for the most part.

However, there is a special use of the herb. " Powdered Semen

Plantaginis (che qian zi) was used in treating 68 cases of

malposition of the fetus diagnosed at eight months, with about 90%

of the cases having a normal presentation at birth. " (Chinese Herbal

Medicine Materia Medica, Revised Ed., Dan Bensky and Andrew Gamble,

p.142.)

 

Another special (and modern) use is " Treatment of musculoskeletal

disorders: Injection of Semen Plantqaginis (che qian zi) into the

joint spaces has the effect of tightening up overly lax joint

capsules. This effect has been used clinically in treating

recurrent dislocation of the temporomandibular joint. " (p. 142.)
