How To Heal Cancer

http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/cancer1/budwig.htm

 

This is probably the most important article on cancer you will ever read. 

Just recently I sat and interviewed a genius who has continued and expanded on

Johanna Budwig’s work. I returned to my office to do some homework (research,

reading, etc.) and finally, I fully understand what's going on, and I'm passing

it on to you.

 

First there was Otto Warburg who was awarded the 1931 Nobel Prize for

medicine for his describing the metabolism of a cancer cell. He stated that the

cell

suddenly became anaerobic (without oxygen) and required massive amounts of

glucose (sugar) to metabolize in a form that could only be described as

fermentation:

 

" The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the normal oxygen

respiration of body cells by an anaerobic cell respiration. " -- Otto Warburg

 

That is only the beginning.

 

The cell takes in glucose (sugar; cancer loves sugar

http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/nutrition/sugar.htm ) and gives off lactic acid

which creates an

acidic environment. Again, this is something that has been known for years.

Cancer

needs an acidic environment to flourish, and conversely, cannot survive in a

balanced alkaline environment.

 

But again, this is still only the beginning. As Dr Garnett discovered in his

research for Poly-MVA, there is an electrical connection to cancer too.

 

Chinese medicine for centuries (some 4 to 6 thousand years ago) has described

the life force as energy. They mapped the meridian system that was re-mapped

in 1994 by conventional medicine (using high-tech instruments that measured

the tiniest amount of electricity). Along these meridians travels our life

force: Chi (Qi) according to the Chinese, though we can call it energy.

 

As an aside, in 1968 it was discovered that living cells produce light. The

amount of light determines the health of the cell. The brighter the light, the

healthier the cell. Interesting stuff, eh?

 

In the fifties, Johanna Budwig added her two cents to the cancer equation.

She said that in normal, healthy cells " we find a dipolarity between the

electrically positive nucleus and the electrically negative cell membrane with

its

highly unsaturated fatty acid. "

 

She goes on to state that, " Electrons have a great affinity for oxygen—they

love it. They attract oxygen and stimulate our breathing…. " By " breathing "

she’

s referring to the breath of life in each living cell.

 

Now we have the picture of the healthy cell, a cell that will grow, thrive,

and replicate in a normal manner. Budwig then goes on to describe the formation

of cancer by first describing the changes to the cell membrane.

 

The cell membrane consists of lipids, or fats. The highly unsaturated fatty

acid she refers to are called omega-3 fatty acids. These are related to the

" fish oils " that even conventional medicine has picked up on. You won’t find a

drug store in America that doesn’t have a row of fish oils on sale. These oils

are also found in other foods (as we will show you below), but mostly in flax.

 

Another lipid in a cell wall is cholesterol. And you thought it was a

terrible thing. The cholesterol in each one of your cells forms a " hydrophobic "

bond

within the cell wall. Hydrophobic means " fear of water. " It’s a cute way to

describe this function of our cells, but in our lives it simply describes the

reason we don’t melt in a rainstorm or fall apart when we take a shower or

bath.

Our cells resist water. Without this resistance, we would be water-soluble

and we'd all dissolve in a rainstorm.

 

Our diets in this country (and in Budwig’s country at the time) lack these

highly unsaturated fatty acids and contain an excess of man made oils known as

trans fats (or partially hydrogenated oils). These oils are very much like

cholesterol and our bodies cannot tell the difference. These oils get into our

cell walls and destroy the electrical charge. Without the charge, our cells

start

to suffocate. Without the oxygen, the only way the cell can replicate is

anaerobically. (They also are very tough oils and have a 20-year shelf life.

They

impede the process of cellular exchange, or letting nutrition in and letting

wastes out. Trans fats are also responsible for Type II diabetes, since insulin

is a very large molecule it has a difficult time passing through a cell wall

created with man made fats and not cholesterol.)

 

Do you see what’s happening?

 

Let’s take a minute to look at our diets. I once went to the store with a

naturopath who took along an instrument that measured very small amounts of

electricity. It was so sensitive that before we went he measured the charges

along

my meridians and acupuncture points.

 

In the store, he measured the energy inside various foods. Yes, everything

has energy and the better the food, the more the energy. He showed me that

organic vegetables contained more energy than conventionally grown foods. When

we

got outside, he opened a few cans of vegetables we’d picked up. The beans and

tomatoes (both canned) had more energy than the asparagus and canned fruits

(which were nearly dead). He said that tomatoes and beans are the only

vegetables

to buy canned.

 

Life is electrical. To the Oriental physician, disease begins with a blockage

or disruption in energy flow. In this country, disease begins with symptoms.

The blockage or disruption in energy flow is about 7 or 8 steps before

symptoms. So, as you can guess, preventative medicine is practiced in the

Orient, and

not here in our western, conventional medicine.

 

Back to our little cancer cell and Dr Budwig: she states there are many

reasons for a cell to lose its charge, but peanut butter is a very common one.

Can

you believe it? Something as simple as peanut butter causing your cancer? Most

peanut butters are hydrogenated. Why? To keep from separating. Go look at

your natural peanut butters. Many are kept in the refrigerator section because

that is how they keep them from separating.

 

By the way, she also went on to describe some of the collateral damage from

chemotherapy: she said that chemotherapy causes this loss of energy in healthy

cells too; that chemotherapy and radiation destroyed the normal energy flow in

healthy cells making them ripe for cancer. She attacked the cancer industry

for killing the cancer when they should focus on healing the healthier cells so

they could over grow the cancer cells. In other words, take care of the

healthy cells and the cancer will take care of itself.

 

A little aside here: as a writer, I must be responsible for all I write. If I

make a claim that the National Cancer Institute buried hydrazine sulfate

http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/cancer1/altthrpy.htm#HydrazineSulfate by killing

off the cancer patients in a study, then I’d better be able to back this up.

We

have laws in this country. We are not free to lie about a business and in

doing so cause them monetary damage. If you pass on a chain letter that libels a

specific company, you are guilty of libel and can be prosecuted (there’s a

case

already on record). So, anything I say at my web site or here in these

newsletters had better be backed up with facts or I can be sued. This is what

happened to Dr Budwig when she attacked the cancer industry. She attacked them

thusly: " It is not correct to regard the problem of tumors simply as a problem

of

too much growth and thereby to instigate all manners and means of growth

inhibiting treatments…. "

 

The Central Committee for Cancer Research that was studying and creating

these chemotoxic drugs didn’t like this woman running around making these

statements that surely injured their industry and so they sued her in court for

libel:

for telling lies and hurting the wonderful people making these wonderful

drugs.

 

In court, the judge, after having reviewed the evidence from both sides,

pulled the cancer research people aside and told them not to take on this woman.

The court records quote the presiding judge: " Doctor Budwig’s documents and

papers are conclusive. There would be a scandal in the scientific worlds,

because

the public would certainly support Doctor Budwig. "

 

Do you understand the import of this? This woman had a documented method for

healing cancer and the medical community did not. They could kill cancer

cells, but they couldn’t cure it. Budwig could help heal cancer by diet alone.

 

Now the real sad part is, science has known the cancer/fat connection for

years. Years prior to Budwig’s research they knew there was something in the

fat.

Years after her initial work we know that a high fat diet can lead to cancer.

We also know that the Mediterranean diet is 60% fat, but they have a very low

incidence of cancer. So we know that not all fats are the same. The

Mediterranean diet is high in olive oil.

 

And now, you know about highly unsaturated fatty acids, commonly referred to

as omega-3 fatty acids. They are also called Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs).

They are called essential not because they are optional. They are not optional.

They are essential to health because the body cannot make them itself.

 

And though they have been essential to health since the beginning of time, it

is only recently that a group of international experts gathered at The

National Institute of Health in Washington, D.C. to discuss the importance of

Omega

3 fatty acids to human health. They came up with a recommendation for AI

(Adequate Intake) of 2.2 grams of LNA (Alpha Linolenic Acid, the EFA found in

flax,

fish, olive, and other oils). AI is different from the RDA (Required Daily

Allowance) which is determined by our government. Many nutritionists feel that

the RDAs, as established, are just enough to keep us all on the verge of

illness.

 

How can we get this requirement into our diet?

 

Many people take flax oil pills or brave a spoonful of the oil itself.

Apparently, this is not the best or most effective way to take flax oil. Taking

flax

oil creates an acidic environment. Next, flax oil alone is missing all the

co-factors to potentiate its benefits: magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, etc.

Co-factors are those things that help something to work. Vitamin C is not

ascorbic

acid; vitamin C is ascorbic acid with the co-factors bioflavanoids, copper, and

calcium.

 

And finally, taking flax oil capsules is not the best way to take it because

the oils are not " body-compatible: " water-soluble and bio-available. They will

not be stored in the body as well as if they were water-soluble. The health

benefits that are potentially received via fatty acid metabolism will be

limited or absent without the conversion to water-solubility.

 

Johanna Budwig solved this problem with her simple recipe that made the oils

water-soluble: three tablespoons of flax oil to a third of a cup of cottage

cheese. It tastes terrible, but I’ve experimented with this recipe and added

all

sorts of good stuff to make it even better.

 

In this form, mixed with the sulfured protein, the oil becomes water-soluble.

Now the oils will stay with your body. They will bring the charge back into

each cell. Healthy cells will flourish and unhealthy cells will starve. The

oxygenated healthy non-acidic environment will, as Budwig points out in her

lectures, knock out the cancer cells.

 

Can we get these oils from our foods? Yes, but to get 2.2 grams of LNA, you

would have to eat….

 

2.5 cups of Wheat Germ

 

40 cups of Alfalfa Sprouts

 

9 cups of Mixed Nuts and Peanuts

 

157 slices of Whole Wheat Bread

 

1/3 cup English Walnuts

 

56 Big Apples

 

3.5 cups Tuna Salad

 

51 Eggs (6 Free-Range Eggs!)

 

7.75 quarts Milk 2%

 

244 Tomatoes

 

56 Granola Bars

 

72 Canned Sardines

 

81 cups Frosted Mini Wheats

 

So, as you can see, it's going to be difficult to get your daily requirements

from your diet alone. And here I have a very special surprise for you.

 

I interviewed the man who has continued on Johanna Budwig's work, here in

Minnesota. Omega-3 fatty acids (EFAs) have a long history here in Minnesota.

They

were first discovered at the University of Minnesota in the late twenties,

and some 20 years later were named " Omega " -3 fatty acids.

 

His name is Stan Mann, and he has not only discovered a process for

stabilizing milled flax seed (it normally goes rancid in just fifteen minutes),

he's

created a product from this process that adds rice bran, many other nutritional

co-factors to aid in fatty acid metabolism such as magnesium B6, B12, Vit C,

Vit E, zinc, and others. Even greater amounts of antioxidant spectrums are

added to help control the living fire that is created when your cells are

suddenly

hit with this " super " oxidative nutrition (Additionally, when cells find

super nutrition, they dump their toxins immediately and without antioxidants to

help clean up, you could get sick and feel terribly rotten from this process).

 

Working with the University Scientists, Stan has also helped to create a

blood test that will measure how your body is storing these essential fats in

addition to or in place of unhealthy fats. They've even trademarked one blood

test

whose results are called the Inflammation Index. It actually measures the body

’s potential to produce inflammation.

 

Inflammation should interest all of you, since the medical news lately, as

well as television commercials, are hot with Cox2 inhibiting anti-inflammatory

drugs like Celebrex or Vioxx. Next time you see their ad on TV, pay attention

to the side effects. Science cannot inhibit the Cox2 without side effects. Your

NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Aspirin or Motrin) all have

terrible side effects and if you use them over a period of time you WILL feel

the effects, because they are not just " side " effects, they ARE the effects

of these drugs.

 

You see, when you inhibit the Cox2 enzyme using NSAIDS this same process

inhibits Cox1 production and hence all prostaglandin production, even those

prostaglandins that are protecting the stomach lining and kidney function. This

produces the side effects.

 

This was supposed to be fixed with the new Cox2 inhibitors that do not

inhibit Cox1 production, but sadly, look at the side effects.

 

Let's go back a bit here to Johanna Budwig. There is a book available by her

called: Flax Oil As a True Aid Against Arthritis, Heart Infarction, Cancer,

and Other Diseases. I used this book to help write this article. Now I want you

to note that she aims at three disorders: heart disease, cancer, and

arthritis. Yes, there are the other diseases (like behavioral disorders: ADD,

ADHD, and

a host of others), but note the arthritis. This is just one more connection

between her work and Stan Mann's work. With continued intake of water-soluble

omega-3 fatty acids, your Inflammation Index drops and you need less and less

NSAIDS or Cox2 inhibitors; the EFAs increase the effectiveness of NSAIDs and

Cox2 inhibitors, but reduce their damaging side effects. This was proven by the

good Dr Budwig, and Stan, with his new product, Omegasentialsâ„¢; he's taken it

all one step further creating a product that is easily taken daily (you can

put it on your cereal, in your yogurt, or in your morning breakfast juice). His

company is also about to print an educational book that provides recipe ideas

for all kinds of ways to incorporate the valuable supplement in your normal

dietary habits like cookies, breads, muffins, salads, etc.

 

Let me tell you right now, in all my years of researching cancer,

Omegasentialsâ„¢ is the single most exciting product I have found to date.

Johanna Budwig,

in her life time, according to Stan Mann's research, had a better success rate

against cancer than any therapy to date. We know she helped cancer patients

more than her chemotherapy counterparts at the time. The German judicial system

helped to demonstrate that. 

 

This new product, Omegasentialsâ„¢, takes Budwig's work a step further. Mix it

with water and you'll see that it is already water-soluble. The oils do not

rise to the top. It contains all the co-factors that potentiate (make work

better) the action of omega-3 fatty acids, and they add the antioxidants needed

to

help control the healing oxidative energy created by bringing healthy oils

into the body (not to mention cleaning up dead cancer cells).

 

As an added bonus, they include fish oils to the formula. Stan Mann happens

to be a vegan. Vegans do not eat fish products. However, he felt so strongly

about how our bodies need the DHA (docosahexaenoic acid; important for

maintaining the fluidity and function of cell membranes, particularly in the

retina and

the brain) from fish oils, that he felt he had to include it in this product.

Why? Because the average American either drinks too much caffeine, alcohol,

or smokes too much and uses up their stores of DHA. Even those of us who don't

smoke take in enough second hand smoke that depletes our DHA.

 

DHA, when stored in your body, fights depression. It is theorized that

Postpartum Depression is caused by the developing fetus, who needs DHA for brain

development, during the last stages of pregnancy, pulls all the DHA from the

mother (there usually isn't all that much to begin with since our diets are so

poor) leaving her bereft of DHA, hence the massive depression after giving

birth.

Increase the stores of DHA and you help prevent that depression and possibly

get off your Prozac or whatever other drug that's helping you with one hand

and killing you with the other.

 

Omegasentials is simply the best form of omega-3s on this planet, bar none.

 

Anti-angiogenesis Drugs?

 

With all the brouhaha (because they're non toxic) about anti-angiogenesis

drugs (the drugs that stop the growth of new blood vessels to a tumor) lately,

perhaps you should know this: You already know that I prefer natural

anti-angiogenesis substances to the drugs (because they are cheaper and safer)

but did

you know that your polyunsaturated oils (corn oils sold in supermarkets

everywhere) promote the growth of small blood vessels (by promoting the

production of

" bad " prostaglandins)?

 

Just Say No To Drugs

 

Omega-3 oils, the oils found in Budwig's recipe and in Omegasentialsâ„¢ inhibit

angiogenesis by inhibiting the prostaglandins that promote it.

 

So, there you have it. Omegasentials is the best product I've yet to find to

prevent and fight existing cancers, reverse heart disease, prevent and treat

arthritis, prevent and treat depression and a variety of mental disorders, and

it has one more added benefit to you athletes out there.

 

Remember back where Johanna Budwig talked about how electrons loves oxygen?

Well, the company making Omegasentialsâ„¢, Integrity Direct, Inc., is receiving

letters from their users. And these letters are confirming what Stan Mann

theorized all along.

 

If you've ever worked out, you've probably felt that " burn " you get from a

good work out whether you're lifting weights, playing tennis, or running long

distances. It's caused by using up your oxygen stores. The muscles then produce

lactic acid by burning glycogen without oxygen, and this lactic acid is what

causes the burn.

 

The letters from users tell a different story. No matter how much they work

out, lift, or run, they feel less and less of the burn; not during, or even

after their workout. Recovery is much, much quicker too:

 

From Mike and Kati who successfully participated in the World Duathelon

Championships held in October 2000 in France: " I was third overall and Mike was

first in his age group too, and the amazing thing is we weren’t hurting

afterward! Mike said, ‘My gosh, my legs just don’t hurt,’ and we both were

expecting

them to the next day, and they didn’t! So, it’s going exactly the way you

said

it was, and we can’t thank you enough…. "

 

So we come back to the basics: " Let your food be your medicine. " When your

body gets the nutrition it needs you stay healthy. If you are sick, you get

better. This is the best food product I've yet to discover and you will not ever

find my home without it.
