Dr. Mercola's Comments:

Cancer is now the leading cause of death in the United States. This video featuring Doug Kaufman interviewing Italian Oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini, details a new theory of cancer that carries the promise of a safe, speedy, and effective cancer cure.

Cancer, which surpassed heart disease as the number one killer in America in 2005, is still considered “a mystery” in conventional medicine. In fact, the term “cancer” is just a generic term that in no way describes its cause.

In this video, Doug Kaufman – a longtime proponent of the influence of fungi in human disease -- interviews the Italian oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini -- author of Cancer is a Fungus -- who shares fascinating new information about what he believes is the root of all cancers: fungi, and discusses a radically different path for curing cancer; sometimes in as little as a few days.

Conventional Cancer Treatments – Ineffective and Dangerous “Cures”

Currently, if you are diagnosed with cancer, especially in the U.S., you are given three options:

Surgery
Chemotherapy
Radiation
However, as mentioned in this video, finding actual statistics on the effectiveness of these treatments is very difficult. You’d think if something is the best medicine has to offer, they’d be more than happy to share their level of success.

Most people are given a 50/50 chance of dying from cancer, in general. And conventional treatments are touted as your best shot at surviving.

But is it true?

According to Dr. Simoncini’s website, polls and questionnaires show that a full 75 percent of doctors say they’d refuse chemotherapy if they were struck with cancer due to its ineffectiveness and its devastating side effects.

Many doctors have spoken out about it, yet their voices are still ignored. For example, Dr. Allen Levin, MD, author of The Healing of Cancer, has said, “The majority of the cancer patients in this country die because of chemotherapy, which does not cure breast, colon or lung cancer. This has been documented for over a decade and nevertheless doctors still utilize chemotherapy to fight these tumors.”

Professor Gorge Mathe similarly stated, “If I were to contract cancer, I would never turn to a certain standard for the therapy of this disease. Cancer patients who stay away from these centers have some chance to make it.”

So, how effective is chemotherapy?

There is at least one study that I know of that addresses this very question. Published in the journal Clinical Oncology in December 2004, the results of this study were astounding, showing that chemotherapy has an average 5-year survival success rate of just over 2 percent for all cancers!

In the U.S., chemo was most successful in treating testicular cancer and Hodgkin’s disease, where its success rate fell just below 38 percent and slightly over 40 percent respectively.

Still well below the 50/50 mark…

A review of chemo on 5-year survival rates in Australia garnered almost identical results, with a 2.3 percent success rate, compared to the U.S. 2.1 percent rate of success.

And yet this is the best that conventional medicine has up its sleeve for treating this widespread killer.

What Causes Cancer?

Conventional medicine likes to focus on the impact of genetics as a causative agent in developing cancer, despite the fact that research indicates that genetics is not the main cause of this widespread phenomenon, even though it may play a small role in some people. Unfortunately, little attention is paid to the impact of plain and simple infections.

Dr. Simoncini’s research has led him to believe that something as simple as a fungus, Candida, is the leading cause of cancer; that cancer itself is in fact a fungus. What we refer to as a tumor, is nothing more than your body’s attempt at protecting itself from that fungus.

He brings up an analogy between psoriasis – an “incurable” disease of the skin that many treat as a fungus – and tumors, which are also an “incurable” disease of your body. Several studies have linked the presence of Candida with cancer, showing that anywhere between 79 to 97 percent of all cancer patients also have Candida.

Dr. Simoncini’s explanation for how this phenomenon works – how Candida leads to deadly cancer – is that it’s a consequence of the weakening and exhaustion of your organs, and eventually your entire body, in the following stages:

Candida roots itself in your deep connective tissue in various organs
As a result, this evokes an organic defensive reaction as the connective tissue of your invaded organ attempts to encyst the fungin colonies through cellular hyper-production, which results in the formation of tumors
Growths continue as the fungi spreads, both in your surrounding tissue, and remotely (aka “metastatis”). It is still always the same Candida attacking different tissues, but due to its highly adaptive qualities it is able to mutate to adapt itself to whatever environment it finds itself in, hence the various types of tumors
Your body becomes progressively more exhausted, which allows the fungi to spread and take over more rapidly
You die from “cancer”

If Cancer is a Fungus, Then What is the Cure?

In the video, Dr. Simoncini shows actual before-and-after footage of both bronchial cancer and colon cancer. Four days after his revolutionary and mind-blowingly simple treatment for bronchial cancer with a sodium bicarbonate and water flush, the tumors are gone…

Sodium bicarbonate, a.k.a baking soda, is the most potent anti-fungal substance there is. The problem with anti-fungal drugs, however, is that fungi are extremely adaptive, and can adapt to a new environment in three to four days. This renders anti-fungal drugs largely ineffective. The fungi do not adapt to the baking soda, but it is far more difficult to use as it needs to be injected directly into the tumor; swallowing the baking soda would not work at all.

Candida yeast is not “one shared element,” so to speak, but rather “social elements,” or colonies, that are highly communicative.

Because of their unique adaptation skills, sodium bicarbonate must be administered directly onto the tumor, and in so doing changing its ph very quickly, from acid to alkaline, which quickly and effectively kills off the yeast before it has time to adapt.

For example, Dr. Simoncini’s experience has shown that 99 percent of breast- and bladder cancer can heal in just six days, entirely without the use of surgery, chemo or radiation, using just a local infiltration device (such as a catheter) to deliver the sodium bicarbonate directly to the infected site in your breast tissue or bladder.

Why the Baking Soda Cancer Cure is Not Available Everywhere

Unfortunately, Dr. Simoncini is yet another brilliant doctor who has been ousted from the medical community due to his revolutionary simple ideas of how to cure profit-making diseases.

So many people refuse to believe that this is true and that it’s happening to good doctors, since “everyone knows” you must be a liability to human life if you’re stripped of your medical license.
But the reason why Dr. Simoncini was kicked out is because as an oncologist – a cancer specialist -- he refused to use conventional cancer treatment methods, choosing instead to administer sodium bicarbonate, which is HARMLESS, as opposed to the often lethal use of chemotherapy.

His lawyers have recently started a rehabilitation court trial at the International Court of Justice in Strassburg to have him reinstated.

Preventive Measures – Combating Candida

If the cause of cancer is the Candida fungus, then what is the root cause of the fungi? And how can you tell you might have too much yeast in your body, which might eventually lead to the formation of cancer?

A good sign that Candida is on the loose is feeling “run down” and developing a craving for sugars and carbohydrates, as this is the main fuel for the growing amounts of yeast in your intestine. The more sugar and grains you eat, the more the yeast grows out of control. Eventually, this will weaken your immune system, which in turn can allow it to infiltrate various other organs.

This imbalance in intestinal flora, sometimes called dysbiosis, can also lead to other more common, and less lethal, health problems, such as:

Vaginitis
Irritable bowel syndrome
Weight gain
Food allergies
Migraines
Asthma
Depression
Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
There are 79 different toxins released by the metabolism and die-off of Candida. This is why people with yeast overgrowth often feel so lousy; the Candida toxins are regularly entering their bloodstream. Two of these toxins, alcohol and acetaldehyde (the breakdown product of alcohol that causes hangovers), are in such high amounts in people with chronic yeast problems that you may actually end up feeling “drunk.”

Acetaldehyde also reacts with the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is why people with yeast overgrowth often experience mental and emotional disturbances such as anxiety, depression, poor concentration, and feeling spaced-out.

How to Cure a Yeast Overgrowth

For more on Candida and holistic treatment options, I recommend you review my previous article, Holistic Treatment for Candida Infection. The highlights of the treatments for yeast overgrowth include:


The Right Diet and Exercise -- A diet rich in meats, chicken, eggs, seeds and nuts, vegetables, and healthy oils (free range and organic) -- while avoiding sugars and carbohydrate-rich foods -- will restrict the amount of fuel the yeast in your intestine has available to it. I would add to this to make your diet in tune with your nutritional type. Once you’ve started on the diet, exercising will begin to rebalance the levels of neurotransmitters in your brain and improve your mood. One of the elements of diet that does seem counter intuitive is the absolute restriction of even fruits when one is seeking to eliminate yeast, as even the tiniest amounts of sugar seem to worsen this condition.
Getting Plenty of Good Bacteria -- You will want to increase your probiotic (good bacteria) intake with a high-quality probiotic supplement or by eating cultured and fermented foods, such as natto. These contain the good bacteria that keep your vagina and gastrointestinal tract healthy and will ultimately replace the Candida.
Avoiding Exposure to Chemicals -- Paints, household cleaners, perfumes and scents may cause allergic reactions, and chemical sensitivities are very common in people with yeast overgrowth.
Addressing Emotional and Psychological Issues -- Food cravings, especially those for sweets, often are exacerbated by emotional dependencies. Tools like the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) can help you to overcome unhealthy food cravings and other emotional hurdles.

Yeast Infection Cures

A vaginal yeast infection is characterized by burning, itching, soreness, pain during intercourse and/or urination, and vaginal discharge that looks rather like cottage cheese. A diagnosis is confirmed through identification of the yeast under a microscope from a specimen scraped from the vaginal area.

Yeast infections occur when new yeast is introduced into the vaginal area, or when there is an increase in the quantity of yeast already present in the vagina relative to the quantity of normal bacteria. When normal, protective bacteria are eradicated by antibiotics or by immunosuppressive drugs, for example, the yeast can multiply, invade tissues, and cause irritation of the lining of the vagina.

Dr Whiting on Systemic Candida and Yeast Infections

There is probably more misinformation about yeast infections and candida albicans than almost any health topic. Yeast diets, candida diets, along with special herbal formulas for combating yeast and candida infections abound. Yet after 30 years in the nutrition field, we have found very few of these to be effective.

Research shows that women, following yeast diets and candida diets, obtain some relief from their symptoms, yet as soon as they go off the restricted diet, their yeast infection and candida symptoms return almost immediately. The only substance ever shown to actually destroy the candida and yeast organism on contact is oxygen. Oral oxygen has proven to be very effective in eliminating yeast infections and candida. Candida diets do not eliminate candida or yeast.

Candida diets help reduce the symptoms of candida or yeast, but will not cure the problem. When oral oxygen is used candida diets become unnecessary. Buffered oral oxygen is the only safe way to raise the oxygen levels, but you must take the right formula in order for it to be safe and effective. The Institute of Nutritional Science offers a formulation, which has been used for over 20 years in eliminating systemic candida and yeast without the use of dangerous drugs and ineffective diets.

Preventing Candida Overgrowth from Re-Occurring Now that you are once again enjoying a healthier state of being and the synergistic balance of bacteria has been restored to your intestinal tract, it is important to understand what you need to do to ensure that you don't become affected by this problem again in the future. If you need to take antibiotics again, for any reason, do so if needed, but always, always, always, re-implant the healthy bacteria back into the intestines by taking high potency Acidophilus capsules for 10 days after the last day of antibiotic use. If you are female and taking birth control pills, be sure and either consume bacterial foods such as yogurt, buttermilk, or take 2 to 4 capsules of multi-source Acidophilus capsules every day. If you should develop a localized vaginal yeast infection, use three ounces of our premixed oxygen liquid together with 3 ounces of warm water and douche, holding the fluid for 5 to 10 minutes, three times per week.

This will likely, catch the problem before it has the chance to spread and once again become Systemic in nature. Males, if you should develop 'jock itch', or other fungal type of skin condition. Wash the genital area with a three percent Hydrogen Peroxide solution, available at drug stores, before and after every intercourse. Lastly, everyone, regardless of your age or health concerns, should be taking a Full Spectrum Nutrition product, which provides the body with at least the 122 known nutrients the body needs to maintain health and internal chemical balance. This Full Spectrum formulation should consist of at least the following nutrients.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Boosts Heart Disease Threat

(HealthDay News) -- People diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis run a greater risk of developing heart disease.

But that risk can be spotted and hopefully modified by using the same criteria used to identify heart-disease risk in the general population, a new study suggests.

Those screening checks include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, older age, and family history of cardiovascular illness. And people diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) should be screened using those risk factors as soon as possible following their diagnosis of RA, the study authors said.

"The bottom-line is that RA patients are at increased risk of heart disease," said lead researcher Dr. Hilal Maradit Kremers, a research associate with the Mayo Clinic Department of Health Sciences Research in Rochester, Minn.

"But we need to know how can we predict which RA patients are at a higher risk than others, so that we can then put more effort in the prevention of heart disease in these people," she added. "And so, here we attempted to do just that, by using a typical cardiovascular risk profile to predict heart disease among these patients."

Kremers and her colleagues presented their findings this week at the American College of Rheumatology annual meeting, in Boston.

The study findings follow a 2005 Mayo Clinic report that suggested that the increase in heart disease risk among RA patients may be due to the systemic inflammation brought on by the disease, which, in turn, prompts arterial plaque to form blood clots. The new findings also come on the heels of a Mayo Clinic study released last month that said RA patients are more than twice as likely to develop heart failure over a 15-year period than people who don't have the disease.

According to the Arthritis Foundation, rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic and often disabling disease with no known cause or cure that affects just over 2 million Americans. It's characterized by inflammation of the lining of the joints and, over time, can lead to joint damage, severe pain, and immobility.

Treatments -- such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, analgesics and physical therapy -- focus primarily on controlling pain and limiting inflammation and joint destruction.

For the new study, Kremers and her colleagues set out to predict the onset of heart disease over the course of a 10-year period among more than 1,100 people, approximately half of whom had just been diagnosed with RA. The patients were 57 years old, on average, and nearly three-quarters were women.

The patients were evaluated on standard indicators for heart disease risk, as detailed by the American Heart Association. The indicators included: gender; having a family history of heart disease; having diabetes; and/or being black. Patients were also examined for other risk factors, such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Risky lifestyle habits -- including smoking, lack of exercise, and being overweight -- were also considered, the researchers said.

Based on the risk-assessment scores, the researchers assigned the patients to one of five different risk categories for heart disease -- ranging from very low to very high risk. Then the patients were tracked for an average of 12 to 14 years, during which time all incidences of heart attack, heart failure, heart surgeries, and cardiovascular-related deaths were noted.

The researchers found that while 85 percent of the RA patients between the ages of 50 and 59 had an intermediate or high risk for developing heart disease within 10 years of diagnosis, just 27 percent of comparable non-RA patients did. Among patients between the ages of 60 and 69 at the start of the study, 100 percent of the RA patients had an intermediate or high risk for heart disease, compared with 79 percent of non-RA patients.

When looking at just "high risk" among the 60 to 69 age group, the difference was even more dramatic: 85 percent for RA patients, compared to just 40 percent for non-RA patients.

The researchers concluded that more than half of RA patients 50 to 59, and all RA patients over the age of 60, had a 10 percent or greater risk of developing heart disease within 10 years of an RA diagnosis.

In light of the findings, the Mayo researchers are encouraging doctors to conduct heart-disease assessment screenings similar to the ones used in the study for each of their RA patients. These screenings should be done as soon as possible following an RA diagnosis and prevention strategies put into place, the researchers said.

"By simply doing the things that we already know, such as measuring blood pressure, blood sugars, and cholesterol -- all the standard things that we look at for the general population -- we can help identify the risk for a major cardiovascular event among the RA population," Kremers said.

Dr. Hayes Wilson, chief of rheumatology at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, said he endorsed the Mayo researchers' work.

"Anything that helps us characterize and categorize risk factors helps us in the treatment of the disease," he said. "And, until we can figure out what the smoking gun is, hopefully this advice will help us prevent cardiovascular disease or related diseases by helping RA patients better appreciate the risks they face."

Self-Exams of Feet Can Catch Early Melanoma

(HealthDay News) -- Taking an extra 60 seconds to examine your feet when you clip your toenails could save your life, says the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.

Routine self-examination of feet can help detect deadly melanoma skin cancer at an early stage, when it's easiest to cure. Half of people diagnosed with melanoma of the foot die within five years, because the cancer had already spread through their bodies by the time it was diagnosed, the college said.

In cases where melanoma is detected early, 92 percent of patients are still alive after five years.
Doing routine checks of your feet increases the likelihood that you'll spot suspicious moles, freckles or other irregularities. The college recommends you focus on the three most common areas for foot melanoma: the soles, between the toes, and around or under the toenails.

See a doctor immediately if you notice a mole, freckle or spot that starts to change over the course of a month and becomes asymmetrical or changes its border, color, diameter, or elevation.

Melanoma can develop anywhere on the body, including areas that receive little sun exposure, such as the feet and ankles.

Straight Talk From Docs on Grim Prognoses Works Best

(HealthDay News) -- Perhaps the only phrase tougher to hear than, "It's cancer" are the words, "There is no cure."

And those to whom the words are spoken might not even hear or understand them, new research reveals.

But if the terminal patient is a child, a second study shows, parents would feel better when doctors offer the full truth on what lies ahead.

Successfully imparting bad news about survival isn't always easy, as these research papers from the recent American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting in Chicago prove.

In audiotaped interviews involving individuals newly diagnosed with terminal lung or gastrointestinal cancers, 74 percent of doctors at Boston's Brigham & Women's Hospital let patients know that their illness had no cure.

However, only 32 percent of those patients later told researchers that they had heard and understood this important fact in their meeting with the doctor.

"Clearly, what's happening is that patients aren't understanding it, and the interesting question is why?" said lead researcher Dr. Lisa Lehmann, director of the hospital's Center for Bioethics.

In the study, Lehmann's group audiotaped conversations between 90 newly diagnosed patients with terminal cancer and their doctors.

They found that "[most] doctors are actually being very honest and open about patients' prognoses, at least with respect to the curability of these diseases," she said.

But almost a third of patients failed, in follow-up interviews with the researchers, to recall that the doctor had explicitly told them their illness had no cure.

Lehmann said the tapes showed that the words doctors used were simple and straightforward, so language wasn't the problem. "Whether they are traumatized by the information that's being communicated in terms of a very poor life expectancy, we just don't know," she added.

The study did uncover one possible clue: Patients who told the researchers that prognostic information was "very important" to them were more likely to remember being told bad news.

To Lehmann, that suggests that those patients understood how vital this information is for the tough health-care decisions that lie ahead. They are therefore better able to "latch onto" prognostic data when they hear it, she said.

She did call the findings troubling, however, because they suggest that many cancer patients are making treatment choices without fully understanding their prognosis.

"Patients have to realize that, despite the shock and trauma of this kind of information, it is really important information to hear," Lehmann said.

Just how important was underscored by the second research paper.

Dr. Jennifer Mack, a pediatric oncologist at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, and her team surveyed 194 parents of children with cancer. All of the children were within a year of their diagnosis and still undergoing treatment.

The questionnaires asked parents about the type of information they hoped to receive from their child's doctors, and the extent to which they had gained hope from the information they had already received. Patients were also asked about their personal belief about their child's chance of a cure.

Mack's team found that, "even if the child's prognosis was poor, parents were more likely to derive hope if they also receive more extensive prognostic information," compared to when doctors purposely withheld information to keep hope alive.

That finding held true even when the prognostic outlook was grim and pointed to little or no likelihood of a cure.

"It really shows the power of information to be helpful to people in this kind of situation," said Mack.

According to Mack, the days when cancer doctors would hide the worst news from patients are gone -- but not quite forgotten.

"There's still that tendency to withhold information or give overly optimistic information about prognosis," according to Mack, who is also a pediatrics instructor at Harvard Medical School.

"I think that comes out of compassion," she added. "I think it may be the wrong instinct, though.

Because, ultimately, it's not good for the patients. Still, I've felt that instinct myself, because it feels like such a terrible thing to give somebody really bad news."

Why is more knowledge almost always better in these kinds of cases?

"I think that often people fear the worst, and when they think they are not getting direct information, those fears just continue," Mack said. "But if we can provide information that is realistic for them, then they have a way to frame their expectations in a way that's more reasonable."

Frank, sensitive and fully articulated exchanges between doctor and patient also build trust, she added.

"They know then that they have a relationship with the physician that's going to be worthy of their trust," Mack said. "Hopefully, that physician will remain with them and continue to provide realistic information along the way."

Lehmann believes the same.

Knowing whether or not you might survive, or for how long, is crucial to the choices you must make -- for example, choosing aggressive chemotherapy vs. palliative care, she said.

"However, patients can only make those decisions if they have some information on life expectancy," she added.

For patients facing what could be bad news, she advises bringing a family member or friend to the doctor.

"They can really listen in a way that the patient themselves may not be able to," she said.

And she suggested that doctors also need to "check in" with patients periodically, to make sure they have a full grasp of their illness and its prognosis.

"We also have to find some way of communicating it so that people are willing to hear it," Lehmann said.

Robotic Procedure Improves Survival for Prostate Cancer Patients

(HealthDay News) -- Using robotic technology to perform laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) surgery may improve survival rates for prostate cancer patients, a new study suggests.
Prostatectomy involves removal of the prostate gland and some of the surrounding tissue.

Urologic oncologists at the Genitourinary Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, in Philadelphia, compared 50 men who had robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) and 197 men who had conventional LRP.

They found that RALP helped reduce positive surgical margins. This refers to when cancer, seen under a microscope, goes to the edge of a tissue specimen, indicating that there are still cancerous cells in the patient.

The overall positive surgical margin rate for the men who had RALP was six percent, compared with 18 percent for the men who had LRP.

The study was slated to be presented Monday at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association, in Anaheim, Calif.

"We demonstrated a significant improvement in the positive surgical margin rate with the addition of robotics to an established LRP," Dr. Costas Lallas, assistant professor of urology, said in a prepared statement. He completed a robotic surgery fellowship at the Mayo Clinic.

"Several large studies have demonstrated that a positive surgical margin increases the chances that the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) -- a protein produced by the cells of the prostate gland -- will rise after surgery, and increase the chances that the disease will reoccur and progress," Dr. Edouard Trabulsi, a urologic oncologist and assistant professor of urology, said in a prepared statement.

"Therefore, any intervention or technique to lower positive surgical margins, we think, will translate into a better long-term cure rate," Trabulsi said.

What is the Cause of Cancer and Where Does it Begin?

1) What is the origin of cancer or where does cancer begin?

Cancerous tissue, above all other consequences of choice, has countless secondary causes.

But even for a cancerous condition there is only ONE PRIME ORIGIN and CAUSE.

I have simply summarized this origin and cause of cancerous tissue in a few words.

The prime origin and cause of cancerous tissue is the over-acidification of the blood then the tissues due to lifestyle and dietary choices. A cancerous tissue begins with our choices of what we eat, what we drink, what we think and how we live.

Cancer is a liquid and this liquid is a toxic waste product of metabolism or energy consumption.In 1966, Dr. Otto Warburg, who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1931 for his discovery of the cause of cancer delivered a lecture at an annual meeting of Nobelists at Lindau, Germany.

In his speech he described the primal cause of cancer as follows: "The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar. All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation.

All normal body cells are thus obligate aerobes, whereas all cancer cells are partial anaerobes. From the standpoint of the physics and chemistry of life this difference between nomal and cancer cells is so great that one can scarely picture a greater difference.

Oxygen gas, the donor of energy in plants and animals is dethroned in the cancer cells and replaced by an energy yielding reaction of the lowest living forms. namely, a fermentation of glucose."

The following is a summary of understanding cancerous tissues:

Cancer is not a cell but a poisonous acidic liquid.A cancer cell, is a cell that has been spoiled or poisoned by metabolic or gastrointestinal acids.A tumor is the body's protective mechanism to encapsulate spoiled or poisoned cells from excess acid that has not been properly eliminated through urination, perspiration, defecation or respiration.

The tumor is the body's solution to protect healthy cells and tissues.

Cancer is a systemic acidic condition that settles at the weakest parts of the body -not a localized problem that metastases. Metastases is localized acids spoiling other cells much like a rotten apple spoiling a bushel of healthy apples.

There is no such thing as a cancer cell.

A cancer cell was once a healthy cell that has been spoiled from acid.

The tumor is not the problem but the solution to protect healthy cells and tissues from being spoiled from other rotting cells and tissues.

The only solution to the acidic liquids that poison body cells causing the affect that medical savants call cancer is to alkalize and energize the body.

In conclusion, the human body is alkaline by design and acidic by function! If we desire a healthy body we must maintain that alkaline design.

2) Does diet and lifestyle have anything to do with cancer?

Absolutely!

Cancer is not something we get it is something we do as a consequence of daily choice of what we eat, what we drink, what we think and how we live.

We either have an alkaline lifestyle and diet and enjoy a fit and healthy body or we have an acidic lifestyle and diet and experience the aches, pains and suffering from metabolic acids.

The former US Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop, had this to say about diet:"YOUR CHOICE OF DIET CAN INFLUENCE YOUR LONG TERM HEALTH PROSPECTS MORE THAN ANY OTHER ACTION YOU MIGHT TAKE."

3) If cancer is preventable how do we prevent it?

I have said many times that the cure for cancerous tissue will not be found in its treatment but in its prevention.

That prevention can only be obtained by making healthier lifestyle and dietary choices. A cancerous condition is the consequence of choice.

For example, if you want to reduce your risk for cancereous tissue of the lung by 100%, then stop smoking and stop associating or working around people that do smoke.

Secondary smoke is just as acidic and damaging to the lung tissue. If don't want a cancerous liver then stop drinking alcohol and carbonated drinks. If you don't want a cancerous pancreas then stop eating the acid sugar.

If you don't want a cancerous bowel then stop eating protein. It is that simple.

The following are a few research studies from around the world that substantiate my own findings:Study: Human study at Harbin Medical College in China

Results: CABBAGE was the most important single food in reducing the risk of stomach cancerStudy: Italian study on SmokersResults: Smokers who consumed GREEN LEAFY and other VEGETABLES had a THREE FOLD REDUCTION in their risk of lung cancer with smokers who rarely ate vegetables.Study: Hebel Cancer Institute in ChinaResults: GARLIC, ONION AND TOMATO had the ability to INHIBIT the CELL MUTATION caused by common chemotherapeutic drugs...

this is based on conclusive evidence that chemotherapy drugs cause cell mutations and lead to other types of cancers later in life.

Study: Mayo ClinicResults: Cancer patients receiving radiation therapy can benefit dramatically from optimal VEGETABLE based diets.

Study: University of Athens School of Medicine in GreeceResults: Women who consumed the LOWEST level of vegetables had 10 TIMES the rate of BREAST CANCER compared to women consuming the HIGHEST level of vegetables.

Study: Human study in AustraliaResults: Consumption of CABBAGE, CARROTS AND GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES substantial protection against COLON CANCER.

Study: Aichi Cancer Institute of JapanResults: Eating VEGETABLES reduced the risk of CERVICAL and BREAST CANCER in women.

Study: Cancer Control Agency of British ColumbiaResults: Eating VEGETABLES dramatically reduced incidence of BREAST CANCER.4) If I have cancer, such as colon, lung, or prostate cancer can I reverse it naturally?

The answer to this question is absolutely! Once you understand the cause of ALL cancerous tissues as latent tissue acidosis you can then begin the process of reversing, regenerating and preventing the consequences of acidic choices by making healthier alkaline choices.

The protocol for a healthier and energetic body, free from all sickness and dis-ease, is found in Chapter Eleven of our latest book, "The pH Miracle for Weight Loss."In closing, I would like to share with you my vision of medicine in the 21st century.

My vision of the relative purpose of medicine is to include prevention of illness and promotion of health and fitness rather than focusing all our attention on the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

I believe the ultimate purpose of medicine is to help people discover something fundamental within themselves.

And that is the awareness that the true source of well-being, joy, and contentment that we all seek lies within one's mind and heart - the emotions and the spirit - not in the physical world.

This is important, so we can all begin to be freed from the process of grasping for happiness in this physical world.

To support this approach, I believe we must begin to embrace a more spiritual vision of ourselves and of humanity as a whole.

While providing great love, care and attention to the physical body, medicine can then and only then can we help people discover the nonphysical, spiritual dimensions of themselves.

When this happens, we can all live and work with less fear, stress, grasping to preserve the physical body at all costs - we can truly be free.

Fever and the Mystery Disease SARS

A Bio-terror Weapon Spreads Around the World
(Edited slightly for accuracy in blue and my emphasis added in red)
The "mystery" disease SARS, severe acute respiratory syndrome, is being used as a “bio-terror campaign” by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control. They have used normal diseases with strange new names to terrorize people many times in the last 30 years. SARS is clearly a new variation of an old Influenza. So what makes SARS so dangerous?
Most flu comes from China, as in Asian Flu, Hong Kong Flu or Swine Flu, since it is mostly caused by rare avian or bird viruses crossing species with pig viruses. Many rural Chinese farmers raise flocks of geese side-by-side with herds of swine or pigs. Geese and pigs are a traditional Chinese food source. Humans have no natural immunity to avian bird viruses, and are able to "catch" pig or porcine viruses because of the similarity of human and porcine lung and organ tissue.
If a pig is ill with porcine flu and then eats droppings from an avian-virus-infected goose the result is a new cross-species flu virus, with the outer lining of a pig and the inner viral core of a goose, which spreads from central China around the world and usually kills about 100,000 or more each year in the U.S. Several new variations of goose-pig generated influenza occur each year coming mostly from China. Skip all the CDC recommended flu shots. They are much more dangerous killers than any Influenza. Here’s why.
Love a fever!
The problem is the method of treatment. The viral core molecule of RNA cannot reproduce if the body temperature is above 101 degrees. Humans have genetically developed a natural method to defeat viral infections called a fever. With a mild fever of 101 degrees the telomers on the ends of the RNA molecule cannot attach and the virus cannot reproduce itself, and the body's white blood cells quickly destroy the invading virus. But the modern “regular” treatment for a fever from a cold or flu is to reduce the fever to ease the discomfort. This is wrong.
By lowering the fever below 100 degrees, the invading virus is allowed to reproduce and spread massively throughout the body. If the multitude of viruses finally cross the blood/brain barrier the result is a fever of 104 or more, causing brain damage or death. This is often called Reyes Syndrome or Viral Encephalitis and is not a disease but the result of improper treatment with aspirin or other NSAIDs to lower the natural viral infection fever.
In the last 50 years a whole new large section in your local drug store has arisen called “Cold and Flu” medications. There seems to be a vast variety of various types to choose from, but really there are only two “flavors”: those containing Ibuprofen and those with Acetaminophen. These are commonly known as Advil and Tylenol. There are many other similar NSAIDs, but in cold medications those are the two most commonly found.
They are about the same, which is why they both remain side-by-side on the store shelves. These are both NSAIDs (NonSteroidial Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) or synthetic forms of aspirin. Since aspirin is an old Native-American Indian traditional medication, made from Aspen Tree bark hence the name Aspirin, its patent ran out over a century ago. But the newer synthetic forms are still patent medicines; and thus the reason for the multi-million dollar ad campaigns each year to get you to buy the higher cost synthetics whenever you get a cough or cold. Don’t buy them.
If you become infected with even a single cold or flu virus, it quickly within minutes will enter one of your nose or lung cells, make many copies of itself and then the copies burst out of the damaged cell carrying with them a covering made from the old cell wall material. This covering is to protect the virus from attack since your body will attack and destroy all “foreign” invaders. But since the new viruses are covered with cell wall material made from your own body the white blood cells of your immune system can’t see them. These many new viruses also within minutes invade other nearby healthy cells and repeat the process.
[However, and the author of this article was unaware of this, if the body tissues and fluids are sufficiently flooded with active oxygen, than how can the anaerobic viruses continue to exist or invade other cells?]
Without anything to stop it, within several hours that one single virus will have copied itself many millions of times quickly overwhelming your body.
But that very first infected cell, when it became destroyed by the infecting virus sent out a hormonal signal created by bursting the cell wall which causes two things to occur. First, the white blood cells stored in your lymph nodes [that manufacture virus destroying natural oxygen therapy hydrogen peroxide in their ‘peroxisome’ areas] are sent out to seek and find the cause of the damaged cell. Second, a fever is induced.
In order to raise your body temperature to create a fever the heat losses through your extremities, such as the hands, feet and skin are reduced by slowing down and constricting the peripheral blood flow. This causes your hands, feet and skin to feel cold. You may even shiver. This occurs within several minutes of the first viral damage. This is called “catching a cold” and the cold feeling is the first step to raising your core body temperature to above 101 degrees to stop any further viral reproduction and infection. At this point you may feel achy and uncomfortable, with a chilled sensation and even a mild fever. You may even have sneezed a few times, caused by the nasal irritation of the invading virus.
The term “catching a cold” is generic and refers to the chilled feeling you get, caused by either a “cold” which is due to a rhino virus or infection of the mucus lining of the nasal passages, or to an influenza or flu virus which only infects the lining of the lungs. The two are separate types of viruses. Whether you have a rhino or flu virus determines whether you begin to sneeze, with a runny nose from a cold, or begin to cough with lung congestion from a flu. But that usually occurs an hour or so later after the initial infection. If your immune system is not in good shape you may end up with both.
The medical term “rhino virus” is from the Greek word “rhino” meaning the “nose” and refers to a viral infection of the nasal membranes which we normally call a cold. The medical term “influenza” comes from the Spanish word “influence.” This comes from the times of the Crusades in the middle ages when armies of knights from western Europe, mostly England, France, Spain and Germany, first came into contact in the Middle Eastern Holy Land with merchant camel caravans from far Asia, carrying with them not only trade goods but many cases of pig-goose viral infections from China. The viral infections were probably in dried form on the Asian cloth and trade goods, which only needed to be moistened to become re-activated.
The Europeans had no clue where the deadly disease causing viral pneumonia and swift death was coming from. It was named and identified by the medieval Spanish doctors as the “Influenza de Diablo” or Influence of the Devil. Today we simply call it the flu. What this shows is that the Spanish did not know how to cure coughs and colds by allowing fevers, and that the Chinese farming technique of raising pigs and geese, creating new influenza viruses has been going on for thousands of years. But in those days it took over a year for new diseases to travel from Asia to Europe by camel train. Today by jet a new pig-goose flu virus can travel from central China to New York City in less than 24 hours.
If, when you get the first hint of a cold or flu, you do as you should, and go to bed and stay warm overnight with a mild fever, then the white blood cells can quickly surround and destroy the infected cells [by squirting hydrogen peroxide and ozone (Scripps Institute) on them], and no new viruses can reproduce to infect other cells because of the fever. These special type of immune system white blood cells are called macrophages, which is from a Greek word meaning “big eaters.” The macrophages are very large or “macro” white blood cells and their job is to ingest or eat, or “phageo,” the damaged body cells.
By surrounding and swallowing up the infected cells and using chemicals to “eat” or break apart all the material inside, the big macrophages effectively destroy the virus and stop the viral reproduction and infection. [The reason we need to help our immune systems out and safely and effectively - according to known protocols while working with our doctors - flood our bodies with active oxygen is because…] No macrophages nor any part of the immune system [except active oxygen in fluids] can actually seek out and destroy viruses directly. The macrophages can only find and destroy virus-infected cells, which are found since they have a different outer cell wall structure once the virus enters the cell.
[This is exactly why oxygen therapies are so necessary and so safe and effective. The healthy uninfected cells produce anti-oxidant coatings so active oxygen forms do not react with or ‘see’ them. Infected cells full of virus invaders have been forced into slavery by the viruses and are spending all their energy making new viruses, so they cannot create an anti-oxidant cellular coating to protect themselves from being burned up by active oxygen! Oxygen used correctly only attacks infected cells! ]
So it is a two-step process, but it actually works. And usually within 6 to 8 hours after the chills and fever begin, the virus infection is completely stopped and destroyed.
But, if instead of doing as you should and go to bed and stay warm, you also take a cough or cold medication to reduce the discomfort of the fever, you then actually allow the viruses to reproduce. They start to spread throughout your body. And with the reduced fever you feel well enough to go to work. You cough and sneeze invisible micro-droplets of mucus containing viruses and infect your family, friends and co-workers, and even the people you pass on the street. You become the source of a spreading epidemic. For a week you feel miserable but continue going to work until your fever starts to rise up to about 104. Then you go to the doctor or clinic [and pass it on to them unless the doctor’s office or hospital room is full of strong but safe levels of nature’s ozone gas].
[SARS type diseases - spread by droplet transmission - are the quintessential proof of the argument as to WHY we immediately need ozone active oxygen air and water purification surrounding us in our homes and clinics and offices and hospitals and schools and cars and buildings and subways, and movie theaters and planes and taxis.]
But by then it is too late. X-rays show that your lungs are congested with fluid. That fluid is the huge number of puss-like lymph node macrophage white blood cells trying to cope with the vast array of virus-infected damaged lung cells. At this point it is often a losing proposition. You are diagnosed with viral pneumonia, and it’s about 50-50 whether you will survive. If you are young and in good health with an effective immune system [and because the invaders are anaerobic, if you are already stuffed full of, or quickly stuffing yourself full of, active oxygen supplementation or having your healer inject safe levels of medical ozone/oxygen into your blood stream] you may survive. If you are older or with a damaged or aging immune system, [and therefore only have average American smog and toxin compromised low oxygen blood and tissue oxygen levels] viral pneumonia death is almost a certainty. There is no cure or treatment for viral pneumonia. [Except possibly what we are explaining] All caused because you were mis-informed and took a cough or cold medication to reduce an uncomfortable fever. Your body would have prevented and quickly cured the viral infection, if you had allowed a fever to do its job and stop the viruses from reproducing.
Even the North American Indian “doctors” who first developed the Aspen Tree bark, aspirin precursor, medical treatment did not use it for viral infections. They used it only for bacterial infections. The bacterial infections are usually caused by cuts, gashes or damage to the skin or underlying tissue which produce swelling and pain, caused by bacteria entering the wound. A poultice of tree bark was applied to the skin to reduce the swelling and pain caused by a different type of macrophage which directly attacks and “eats” invading bacteria. Aspirin is still used effectively today as a mild pain reliever for injury induced swelling and pain. But the very same Indian “doctors” had a much better way to cure the cough and colds of viral infections. They induced a fever.
When European immigrants began to settle in the New World in the 17th and 18th centuries, they discovered that many native American tribes were treating their “patients” who had coughs, colds, chills and fever with something called a “sweat lodge.” The infected ill “patient” was isolated in a small quickly made thatched hut with a small hole dug in the center of the floor filled with water. Hot rocks from a nearby fire were put into the water until it boiled and produced steam. The “feverish patient” slept overnight in the steamy sweat lodge and the next morning took a quick brisk dip in a nearby cold stream and was completely cured.
The dip in the cold water was not actually part of the anti-viral treatment, but was really a morning kick-start for the circadian rhythm system to remove the logy “jet-lag” symptoms from having just had a high fever. Thus the “patient” is now invigorated and cured with a sense of health and well-being. No, the Indians did not know about viruses, bacteria or circadian rhythms. They only knew what worked best after thousands of years of medical trial and error. Sometimes grandma’s old folk remedy does work best. In this case it does.
The North American Indians were not the only ones to use the “sweat lodge.” It was well known and used worldwide in ancient times. It is the source of the healthful Scandinavian “Sauna Bath.” Even 2,000 years ago when the ancient Romans invaded Britain, they found that the locals were curing coughs and colds by placing the patients in small huts near a bubbling geothermal pool which produced natural steam. That natural steam pool was located at a village called Bath, England.
The ancient village of Bath is the source of the English name “steam bath.” The Romans built a large temple over that geothermal pool and spread the concept of the health-inducing Bath House throughout the Roman Empire. Unfortunately, the Romans lost the original medical reason for the therapeutic fever-inducing steam hut, and the Bath House became merely a popular “health spa” location for social interchange, which still remains today.
Even in modern day America and Europe until the 1930's and ‘40s a common home remedy for treating the onset of the chills and fever from viral infections was for the “patient” to sit with feet in a basin of warm water, body wrapped in warm towels and the head draped with a large towel while breathing steam from a boiling tea kettle. The treatment usually didn’t work, since it did not last all night or long enough to work, but was clearly based on an attempt to duplicate the old Indian steamy “sweat lodge” therapy. In this case, grandma’s old folk remedy didn’t work. But at least, grandma’s loving TLC along with some warm chicken noodle soup, didn’t hurt.
Thus the traditional knowledge of how to quickly and effectively cure a common cold or flu infection due to viruses has been known worldwide since ancient times. But you are not supposed to know that. You are not supposed to know that you can quickly cure a viral infection overnight by yourself and at no cost to you. You are supposed to believe that you need costly medications and medical treatments to cure new life-threatening diseases. That’s the job of the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization. That job is nothing short of medical bio-terrorism.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia is not what you might think it is. First note that the first word in the name is not “Center” but is “Centers.” There is no Center in Atlanta that does medical research or cures diseases. What is in Atlanta is merely a government administrative building which administers the many “Centers” throughout the United States. The Atlanta office is funded and operated by the Federal Government. The many different Centers are mostly funded with private grant money from pharmaceutical companies who deal in drugs relating to the specialty of each of the many Centers.
If a Center in Montana, specializing in rare tropical reptilian viruses accidently discovers a new Framawitz Disease and finds that a drug called Gillibrulin will cure it, then the disease and the drug are owned by the pharmaceutical company which privately funded the medical research. The company then has the right to develop and exploit the drug to make billions in profit. Thus the reason for the strange separation between the Federal government office in Atlanta and the many separate privately-granted research Centers around the United States. And the reason for the name “Centers” for Disease Control.
The purpose of the main office in Atlanta is to be a promotional agent and salesman for the pharmaceutical companies who “discover fictitious disorders” at the various “Centers” and then convince you that to prevent Framawitz Disease you need to be on a lifetime dose of Gillibrulin, which you need as much as you need a horseshoe kick in the pants. But the CDC has convinced many people and their governments to pay billions of dollars per year around the world to the drug companies to prevent diseases by just that method. I call it bio-terrorism.
In the last 20 years, in my research, articles and media interviews I have identified 12 fictitious medical problems which have resulted in massive billion dollar profits to a few pharmaceutical houses. All of the medical problems were either man-made or don’t exist, and were hyped and promoted by the CDC. All of them are characterized by including the words Disorder or Syndrome in their names. That’s because they are not legitimate diseases. I am sure you can think of a few of the big ones. I won’t mention them here, since that would take us off topic. Here we are only focusing on the latest hype, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, SARS, a classic case of CDC bio-terrorism.
According to an AP wire story from March 29, 2003, “On Saturday, the first doctor to realize the world was dealing with an unfamiliar disease died of the illness in Thailand. Dr. Carlo Urbani, 46, of Italy, a World Health Organization expert on communicable diseases, became infected while working in Vietnam, where he diagnosed a U.S. businessman hospitalized in Hanoi, the U.N. agency said. The businessman later died.”
What can I say? At age 46, Dr. Urbani was getting old enough for having an age-reduced immune system. If he had followed the normal CDC-WHO advice he would have treated the symptom of flu, the fever, and not the cause, the viral infection. He would have tried to treat and reduce the fever by using cough medications containing NSAIDs, which is the equivalent of signing his own and his older patient’s death warrants.
In the same article, the head of the CDC, Dr. Julie Gerberding said that no successful drugs or treatments had yet been found. Of course not, there is no and never has been any successful drug treatment for viral pneumonia. Especially when it gets to be a hospital case with a fever of 104 degrees. If the problem is a bacterial lung infection, then there are antibiotics like penicillin which can kill the bacteria. But antibiotics have no effect on viral pneumonia. The only known successful treatment for viral infections is a fever [and its helper active oxygen] which completely stops the viral reproduction. Its been known for thousands of years.
The article continues, “U.S. health officials said Saturday that none of the antiviral drugs and other treatment they have tested are effective against a flu-like disease that has killed at least 54 people and sickened nearly 1,500 others around the world.” What can I say? Is this the blind leading the blind, or what? What we do learn is that SARS is “flu-like” and it has sickened 1,500 worldwide and has killed 54. But compare that to the normal annual flu season which sickens several hundred millions each year with a normal death rate of about one million annually worldwide, and about 100,000 dying of influenza-induced viral pneumonia each year in the U.S. alone.
SARS is not even a statistical drop in the medical bucket. And there is no indication that SARS is any different from any other form of cold or flu from a viral infection. So how does the CDC get to scare or terrorize you into believing that SARS is any worse or more dangerous than any other annual flu? Mostly its done with the assistance of an uninformed press and media which simply publishes the CDC handouts without any knowledge of what it means. This has been going on for about 25 years. I squarely target the news media as the primary cause of such medical nonsense for publishing without investigating the facts.
What is different and unique about SARS is simply the fact that the CDC has for the first time put a name on a flu variant while there are still so few cases. Normally each year the CDC identifies the many dozens of newly discovered flu forms with odd names like Asian type dcp-9w37 or some such gibberish that even your own doctor has no idea what it means. That information is only useful to CDC forensic technicians to make up a new flu-shot cocktail each year, based on finding out what pig-goose flu variants were discovered floating around Asia last year. And you thought you had to be a doctor to figure this stuff out.
Do the Chinese know that their farmers raising pigs and geese together are the source of most influenza in the world? Yes, its been discussed in the medical journals for the last 25 years. Do the Chinese do anything about it? No. Nobody knows why. Maybe its a Chinese form of population control to weed out the wheat from the chaff among their vast multitude of six billion Chinese. Who knows? The Chinese medical profession does not even collect data on the number of pig-goose influenza cases which occur each year and in what province, region or district they came from.
For whatever reason, pig-goose viral infections keep coming from Asia each year, as they have for thousands of years. You don’t need to believe the CDC story about SARS being some kind of new dangerous killer and you should run out to get your latest flu shot or dash to the store to stock up on a case of “Tylenol Cough and Cold” to help prevent that dreaded 104 degree fever. The only people who benefit from that CDC advice are the drug companies who make the flu shots and manufacture all those many “flavors” of cold medicines. It does not benefit you. To believe the CDC story about SARS and to treat the fever of flu with medications is to roll the dice with death. Don’t do it.
Here’s a prediction. Based on the fact that there is as yet no test to distinguish SARS from any other cold or flu, some medical labs are calling SARS a form of cold virus and others call it some kind of new influenza virus. The CDC is defining a case of SARS as a flu-like fever and having had recent contact with a person from Asia or China. In this day of jet travel, that pretty much includes anybody in the world who comes down with a cold or flu.
Since there are usually several hundreds of millions of cases of cold or flu each year, by mis-labeling SARS, that means without any clear differential diagnosis to separate the fever of SARS from flu, the number of reported cases in the next week will skyrocket from 1,500 to about 10,000, and to around 200,000 by the end of the month. Why?
Because your doctor does not have access to all those expensive tests to determine which brand of flu you might have, he just assumes you have “that thing that’s going around” which in this case is SARS. Thus you are diagnosed as having SARS even if you only have the sniffles. Not because there was any test to determine if that is true, but simply because, to be safe, your doctor assumes it to be true. The CDC can then toot their horn and claim they have discovered a new rapidly expanding epidemic based on the number of “reported cases,” but all they have really done is mis-label flu as SARS.
The CDC has done this many times before. Two such cases are Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome (EMS), and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Both billion dollar high-profit “diseases.” Probably the best thing to do is just ignore the CDC and get on with your life.
Best advice: do not try to lower a fever, it is your genetically derived natural human defense against any viral infection. Stay wrapped up and warm to cause a sweat. Drink fluids to replace the water lost by sweating. And within 6 to 8 hours overnight the cold or flu is gone. Many older doctors knew this, which is the reason for the old docs advice, “go to bed, stay warm, drink fluids.” But younger docs just out of med school have been taught there is a drug or pill to treat everything. The result of using expensive pills or over-the-counter medications to reduce the fever from colds and flu is prolonged illness, the epidemic spread of viral diseases and the unneeded deaths of hundreds of thousands each year.Don’t buy it.

I knew something was wrong with me, but nobody else did.

I knew something was wrong with me, but nobody else did. I am 36 years old now; when I was younger I was in seemingly perfect health. When I was 18 years old, I had to get prescription eyeglasses. I became near sighted. Even though all the eye doctors I saw said this is just a natural part of aging; I knew something was wrong. Four years later I noticed small bumps on my scalp.

People mistook this for the beginning stages of balding, however the hair no longer existed only where the small bumps were. The doctors I saw ran fungal and bacterial tests on my scalp. Every test came back negative, so according to the doctors nothing is wrong with me. As the years go by, more small bumps appear on my scalp (for every bump I loose more hair). Sometimes the bumps bleed and sometimes the skin on the scalp flakes off and is white similar to dandruff. I see more doctors; I finally find one who gives me a diagnosis. I am told that I have folliculitis. Okay great, I say! Now that you know what is wrong with me, how do we cure it?

Oh, I'm sorry sir; there is no cure for folliculitis.

Oh, I'm sorry sir; there is no cure for folliculitis. Once again I am told that these things just happen (but why does it seem to just happen to me) It was at this point that I noticed that certain foods seemed to make my folliculitis worst. I asked the doctor about this, and was promptly told that food has no effect whatsoever on my condition.

I knew that was a lie, because if the medical community has no cure for folliculitis, than how can they tell me with certainty that certain foods have no effect on it. Once again I knew something was wrong with me, but I didn't know what to do. For the next several years I just live with my condition. I wear baseball hats all the time, and I hardly socialize for fear of having to take the baseball hat off.

About three years ago, the doctors now tell me my thyroid hormones are imbalanced; hyperactive thyroid they tell me. Surgery or taking radiation pills are my only option. It is crystal clear to me that something is wrong with me and these doctors don't know what it is; I wasn't about to have surgery on my thyroid and be dependent on pills for the rest of my life.

A few months later I noticed my skin in a few small spots lost its color

A few months later I noticed my skin in a few small spots lost its color or pigmentation. As time went on the spots became more and more. The spots are visible on my face, neck, and shoulders. The doctors tell me this is called vitiligo, and once again they don't know what causes it and they don't have a cure .
If this wasn't bad enough, my teeth began to hurt so bad I thought I had cavities. I could actually see a crater being formed in my back tooth. It hurt like hell when I ate on that side of my mouth. I go to the dentist expecting him to tell me it is a cavity and he will pull the tooth out. No! He tells me it is not a cavity, and he has no idea what is causing the crater to form in my tooth. In other words, he doesn't know what the problem is and he can't help me.

It is unfortunate but clear to me that whatever I got, will kill me if I don't kill it first. At this point I made the decision to stop wasting my time with Medical Doctors. If I ever get in a car accident then maybe, but for the cause of a health related problem...no way! I now decided to take responsibility for my own health. Since the M.D.'s aren't going to help me; I must help myself.

Yeast and the Weight Connection

Yeast and the Weight Connection

Wonder where those extra pounds are coming from?
By Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D.
If I were to tell you that there is a fungus living in your intestines that produces 180 chemical toxins capable of making you feel dizzy and fatigued, shutting down your thyroid, throwing your hormones off balance, and causing you to crave sugar and alcohol, all of which make you put on weight –would you believe me? You probably wouldn’t –few doctors even realize the extent of damage caused by yeast overgrowth but the above scenario is all too true.

To the great detriment of the health of our society, this fungus does exist and it is growing rampant in a large proportion of the population –mostly women. It’s one of the diseases of civilization – the culmination of the side effects of technology and the disservices of our way of life.

The list of chronic diseases is getting longer and longer: heart disease, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, auto immune disease, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Chronic yeast overgrowth not only worsens all the above conditions but it’s in a whole disease category by itself.

The miracle of antibiotics has its downside because it causes an overgrowth of yeast. The refining of sugar and wheat has its downside by creating a simple food source for yeast. The tremendous levels of stress hormones that flood our bodies daily, hourly, and every minute in our sped up world make us prey to yeast.

WHAT IS YEAST?
Candidiasis (yeast overgrowth) is nothing new; it’s been around for decades, ever since we began to use antibiotics in our society. Yeast itself, a cousin to molds, has grown in human bodies since Adam and Eve. Candida albicans is the main yeast in the human body. It lives there happily enough, kept in check by beneficial bacteria in the intestines. These bacteria make vitamins and help digest excess sugar that gets past the small intestine. A very special group of bacteria make lactic acid, which protects the gut and vagina against yeast.

Candida is one of the 400 organisms that live in our mouth, digestive tract, vagina and on our skin. Most of the time they all get along with their neighbors. When you begin taking antibiotics, the whole delicate balance is lost. Antibiotics wipe out most of the good and the bad bacteria leaving yeast unharmed. In the absence of any competition, yeast colonies grow into all the empty nooks and crannies of the large intestine and even the small intestine. Sugar from our diet feeds yeast and with the special lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria wiped out, there is no more production of lactic acid to protect the delicate intestinal and vaginal tissues from marauding yeast.

The beast, Candida albicans, growing wildly inside our bodies is an epidemic out of control. Most people, if they think of it at all, imagine yeast as just a pesky vaginal infection that a treatment of vaginal cream will cure overnight. Unfortunately, that’s just not the case for millions of people, especially women who suffer an astonishing array of health complaints from yeast overgrowth, yeast allergy and a build up of yeast toxins.

Leaky Gut: An Open Door To Our Tissues
It is a scientific fact that when yeast cells reach a certain critical mass they change from a round budding stage to a thread-like tissue invasive stage. They are simply running out of food and looking for more. They pack their bags and emigrate from their main home in the large intestine into the small intestine. In the small intestine, the yeast threads poke holes in the intestinal lining. With this superhighway to the blood stream, there is nothing to stop yeast chemical by-products (all 180 of them), undigested food molecules, bacterial toxins, and other chemicals from taking a one-way ride. The holes are not necessarily big enough to allow yeast to get into the blood stream, so there is no blood infection of yeast, just hundreds of waste products that should be flushed down the toilet that end up causing head to toe symptoms leak into the blood. Yes, leaky gut happens when toxins leak into the blood stream and tissues of the body.

When these toxins hit the blood stream they trigger widespread inflammatory and allergy reactions. Many of the toxins like aldehyde, alcohol, zymosan, arabinitol, and gliotoxin have been named. They impair the immune system and the central nervous system. Others block thyroid function, impair female hormones and cause symptoms of PMS and aggravate menopause but haven’t yet been properly studied. Inflammation is being investigated as the underlying cause of heart disease, bowel disease, arthritic conditions, and auto immune disease. It is also intimately involved with weight gain, fatigue, allergies, asthma, headaches, irritability, and dozens of other health complaints.

The Yeast Questions
Have you taken several courses of antibiotics in the past?
Have you been on the birth control pill?
Do you react to the smell of damp moldy places?
Do you crave sugar and bread?
Do you feel drained to the point of exhaustion?
Do you have symptoms of intestinal gas, bloating, and cramping (IBS)?
Are you troubled by constant vaginal infections?
Are you bothered by itchy burning eyes?

Yeast and Belly Fat
What does belly fat have in common with beef cattle? Antibiotics! These drugs are liberally used in the beef industry for the specific purpose of “beefing up” cattle. It is little recognized that antibiotics can do the same to humans! Yeast can contribute pounds of fluid retention in an attempt by the body to dilute the toxins that yeast produces. Over time, in both cattle and people, tissue toxins and fluid build up lead to cellulite and weight gain.

Belly fat is more than just fat. Yeast causes abdominal bloating that can add an extra 5-7 inches that seems to appear out of nowhere. This can be devastating for someone who is on a diet and trying to lose weight and lose inches. If a woman says she has only been eating 1,000 calories a day for a week yet still gained weight a doctor tends to think she is not being truthful. However, if most of her diet is carbohydrates and sugar she may very well be growing yeast, which create a toxic build up and fluid retention to dilute the toxins. It’s a whole new way of looking at weight gain.

Besides bloating and toxic fluid build up, yeast can decrease thyroid function and lead to lowered metabolism, which is a well known cause of weight gain. Some yeast toxins can block hormone receptors and block hormone action. Hypothyroidism and PMS can be the direct result of yeast overgrowth.

When you crave carbs and give into those cravings you will also experience weight gain as the carbs turn into fat cells. Those food cravings that we think are just a lack of will power can actually be caused by yeast clamoring for their favorite food.

Yeast overgrowth also causes the immune system to overwork trying to deal with the toxic overload. This places chronic stress on the adrenal glands, which raises cortisol levels. One thing we know about cortisol is that you can’t lose weight when your levels are elevated due to chronic stress. That’s because the body perceives stress as an emergency and the worst emergency for the body is starvation—therefore it’s never going to give up an ounce of stored fat that it might need!

Where’s the Cure?
Unfortunately, the answer does not lie in a pill as many women have found out when they go to their doctor. Even if the doctor does recognize yeast overgrowth the most common treatment recommended is a week or two or antifungal medications. As one client, who is a chemist remarked to me that she is very concerned about taking fluoride compounds like Diflucan, the most well known antifungal medication. Doctors who are too dependent on prescriptive medicine don’t understand that yeast over growth requires a 6-Point Yeast Fighting Program. Information on this program is freely available at http://www.yeastconnection.com/ and follows in abbreviated form.

Diet: avoid sugar, wheat and dairy as well as fermented foods, and alcohol.
Probiotics (good bacteria): the best ones are acidophilus and bifidus. Obtain products that guarantee 2-10 billion organisms per capsule.

Antifungal supplements: garlic (eat one or two cloves a day), oil of oregano (take 2-3 capsules per day) and grapefruit seed extract (take two to three capsules per day) or take a formula that also includes caprylic acid, pau D’Arco, black walnut, beta carotene, and biotin.
Exercise to move the lymph circulation that clears toxins from the body.

Stress release to reduce the amount of natural cortisol that creates yeast overgrowth.

It is only through diet and lifestyle change that people can overcome yeast overgrowth—but they do overcome it.

The Amazing Power of the Immune System & What Causes it to Fail

The Amazing Power of the Immune System & What Causes it to Fail

Did you know that it is possible to strengthen your Immune System to prevent all types of disease and illness just by simply eating the right foods? An Immune System that is fed with proper nutrition will be much more successful at defending the body. Nature has given us a wide variety of plant foods that are rich in nutritional content. Eating these foods, given that they are grown and processed correctly, will feed and strengthen your body, allowing it to heal faster and prevent disease. This relationship between nutrition and the performance of the Immune System is the key to improved health. DR. JAU-FEI CHEN, is the founder of E. Excel International, and is the pioneer of this special science of building the Immune System.

"Nutritional Immunology"

Only recently have scientists began to realize the strong connection between immune function and proper nutrition. The special science of building the Immune System through proper nutrition is Nutritional Immunology. The theory of Nutritional Immunology is simply this, strengthen the Immune System and let the body take care of itself! Let your body do what it was made to do. The more we learn about the amazing ability of the body to heal itself, the more we realize that drugs are not the answer. Combining the ancient knowledge of Chinese herbs with the technology of today, Dr. Chen is the mother of Nutritional Immunology in a whole new revolution in health that will change the world. She has concluded that the best cure for any ailment is prevention.

The Science of Nutritional Immunology holds that the Immune System, when given the proper nutrition, will be strong enough to defend our bodies from all types of illness and we will not have to suffer and die of diseases like cancer, heart disease, arthritis, and even HIV! In other words, prevention is the focus rather than treatment. Nutritional Immunology is a brand new branch of science dedicated to the study of the relationship between the function of the Immune System and proper nutrition. We are at the foremost of a new revolution in health, one that will inevitably change the world. The more we learn about Immunology, the more we realize that drugs are not the answer. Ask yourself this question: Why are deadly diseases still on the rise when there are thousands of companies that produce vitamins and herbal products? There are all kinds of health magazines, but none of them address the real issues. If we are so health informed, why are we still sick and overweight? Why don't diet plans work? It is because the real issues are not being addressed.

Although scientists have been successful in developing drugs that treat specific diseases, there is no substitute for the Immune System. It is stronger and more powerful than any drug will ever be, and is the key to helping us maintain a healthy, happy body. The sole function of the Immune System is to protect the body from disease and infection. When working properly, it has everything it needs to do its job. It destroys invading agents, consumes harmful pathogens, and battles against pollutants and toxins. The Immune System does more than modern medicine and drugs could ever do. However, if it is denied the most essential nutrients, it becomes weak and inefficient, leaving the body vulnerable to attack. In fact, most of today's degenerative diseases are the direct result of immune dysfunction and can often be traced to poor dietary habits.

Nutrition is the key to a healthy Immune System. However, there is an unfortunate catch. In this world where our food is grown using stimulating chemicals and pesticides, we are nutritionally starved. Due to the chemical usage in growing crops, plant foods now have severe nutrition losses, which contributes to the reason why our diets are so lacking in nutrition. This is evident in the constant rise of degenerative diseases. Even more alarming, however, is the fact that our food is not only nutritionally "empty", but it is still full of the chemicals and pesticides that were used to grow it, which everyone is eating!

Have you ever wondered why degenerative diseases continue to rise at the same time we have the best medical technology in the history of the world? Because of the decrease in the quality of our modern food, is it any wonder that all types of disease and health problems are on the rise? Disease and illness are the result of years of malnutrition. When the body is nutritionally starved, the Immune System will become suppressed. When this happens, you will be at higher risk for disease because foreign, disease causing agents that enter the body will be able to sneak past the defenses of the Immune System. It is estimated that 90% of Americans are malnourished to some degree. This is not from the lack of food, but from the lack of nutrition in our food. Eventually, the Immune System can no longer fight and a degenerative disease begins to grow. It is only in recent years, that degenerative diseases such as cancer, heart disease, arthritis, AIDS, and many others have began to multiply in amazing numbers! The rise in degenerative disease rates is indirectly proportional to the decline of the quality of our foods!

This is not coincidence.
In recent years, farming techniques have changed. Due to the high demand on our farmers to produce large crops, we have become more and more dependent on chemical fertilizers, stimulants, and pesticides. These man-made substances, combined with tired, depleted soil have left our modern foods surprisingly empty. On top of poor farming practices, processing techniques used today are just as lacking. Often, foods are processed at very high temperatures, killing most of the remaining nutrition. High temperatures cause proteins and other molecules to break apart, and this leads to an even greater reduction in the nutritional content of our foods. Because of this decrease in the quality of our food, is it any wonder that all types of disease and health problems are on the rise? Disease and illness are the result of years of malnutrition. When the body is nutritionally starved, the Immune System will become suppressed. When this happens, you will be at higher risk for disease because foreign, disease causing agents that enter the body will be able to sneak past the defenses of the Immune System.

Malnutrition
The symptoms of malnutrition are well documented. They include constant lack of energy, long recovery after hard work, easily catching the seasonal “bug”, difficulty learning or concentrating, frequent headaches, difficulty sleeping, degenerative diseases, etc. If you have any of these problems, or one of many others, you probably suffer from malnutrition. Almost all types of diseases and health problems are the direct result of malnutrition! This disorder is caused by a lack of proper nutrition in your diet. Also, if you have a family history of heart disease, cancer, arthritis, etc., this information may be very useful for you. Malnutrition is now being traced as the number one cause for many, many illnesses and degenerative diseases. Everyone knows that being healthy is important. Unfortunately, many people are mislead as to what real nutrition is. In spite of the increasing awareness for the need of nutrition, very few people even realize that they are malnourished.

The Immune System is not the only system that suffers from malnutrition. All of the systems of the body are interrelated and what happens to one, will inevitably affect the others. Eating a diet rich in nutrition will not only better protect you from illness, but will leave your entire body balanced and feeling great. Your heart will work better and longer, your muscles will not be as sore from hard work, you will cope with stress better, you will be more relaxed and in control of your emotions, you will be able to learn and remember better, etc. The benefits of a healthy body are endless.

Degenerative Diseases
What are degenerative diseases? The dictionary defines "degenerative" as: adj. : of illness; marked by gradual deterioration of organs and cells along with loss of function; "degenerative diseases of old age". Some types of degenerative diseases include cancer, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, etc. While degenerative diseases are usually associated with old age, old age is not the real cause. The real cause is the lack of nutrition and the presence of undesirable substances in our modern food.

In this world where degenerative diseases are on the rise, it seems that to avoid them is impossible. It is a fact that one out of four people will at some point be diagnosed with cancer. Yes, it is true. We live in a world where it is almost common place to lose a loved one to a disease that was the result of malnutrition. Almost all types of diseases and health problems are the direct result of malnutrition! Despite all of this bad news, there is bright hope. There is a new branch of science dedicated to the study of the relationship between immune and other body functions and proper nutrition. This science is called Nutritional Immunology and it is the most promising field of study to help prevent most, if not all, diseases.

Proper Nutrition
We must first determine what proper nutrition is. Dr. Chen has given several criterion that must be met if we have a truly nutritious product. Is it steak, eggs, and milk? It is vitamin supplements? Is it a miracle drug? Is it produce from the grocery store? Sadly, the answer to all of these questions is "no". In simple terms, proper nutrition is defined as 1) plant foods that 2) have no medicinal properties, 3) are wholesome, 4) are rich in nutrients and phytochemicals, 5) are eaten in a wide variety, 6) have no negative effects on the body, 7) are grown without the use of chemicals, pesticides, stimulants, or any other man-made substances, and 8) are processed and formulated correctly so that no nutrition is destroyed. According to Nutritional Immunology, the finished product must be as pure as the original, organic plant.

Drugs and Vitamin Pills
Drugs only perform one function in the body at a time. This singular action upsets the complicated balance of the body, which will always cause a side effect. Prolonged exposure to drug use will eventually lead to health problems. This is why over reliance on prescription drugs is not advisable. It is true that drugs no doubt save lives in emergency situations, but unfortunately, we as a society depend far too greatly on medications for all types of problems. The funny thing, is that drugs do not even treat the cause of disease; instead, they simply suppress symptoms. No drug or substance in the world is able to defeat illness. The Immune System is the only defense we have against disease, so doesn't it make sense to have an Immune System that is functioning properly at optimum strength?

Many people take vitamin pill supplements thinking that they are getting what the body needs. Did your mother ever tell you that it is impossible to overdose on vitamin C? Well, she was wrong. What we are now discovering is that vitamins which have been isolated and taken in the form of a pill actually act as a chemical and have negative effects on your body! Many studies have been done that prove that the best form of nutrition comes from whole foods, not vitamin supplements. Even if vitamin supplements were beneficial, would taking only a few really give us all the nutrition we need?

Proper Nutrition According to the Principals of Nutritional Immunology:
By now it should be quite clear that it's not an easy task to build and strengthen your immune functions, especially on your own; indeed, this is why there are so few of us that actually have a strong healthy immune system. Their is hope because E. EXCEL International has already done all the work for you by creating a line of amazing products that provide people with enough whole-some nutrition to nourish the immune system and bring the immune function back to normal.

By using E. Excel products on a daily basis, your Immune System will be better equipped to fight off all types of germs, colds, diseases, illnesses, viruses, and bacteria. These products do not heal you, but give your body the “ammunition” to fight illness and heal itself. By maintaining a strong, healthy Immune System, disease will be prevented, rather than treated. Because E. Excel products are simply highly nutritious food, they are perfectly safe for pregnant women and people taking medication. They are good for all people, both old and young, and there is no such thing as an overdose! E. Excel products will have no side effects that drugs always cause. You must keep away from stimulants, drugs, medicinal herbs, and man made nutritional products. If we trust in nature, we can't possibly go wrong.

Nutritional Immunology is the future of health. If everyone would eat organic foods, illness would become a thing of the past; not because we have conquered diseases, but because we have learned that proper nutrition gives our Immune System power to resist sickness. Whether or not medical science ever discovers a miracle drug that conquers illness, does not really matter to those of us who already know the answer. Nutrition is the only way we can live long, happy, and healthy lives. Dr. Chen said, “The study of Nutritional Immunology holds the key to our health.” E. Excel products are the most healthy “fast food” you will ever eat.

What value can you place on the health of your family? Are you ready to change your life? Healthy eating and good health can be just one step away. The choice is yours.
