How does B17 Cure Cancer? www.laetrile.com.au

Wednesday, January 27, 2010 @10:42:17 AM
How does B17 kill cancer? If you believe in God the logic of how B17 kills cancer will be easy to accept and understand when you realise that God has given our bodies a natural defense against cancer which is determined by the food or junk we eat in our diet. It is a perfect natural balance that God has designed and planned for us in the way we live. When we alter that natural life balance according to the way we choose to live, rather than the way He teaches us to live, it is then that disease becomes an issue in our lives. If you donot believe in God the logic and science of how B17 kills cancer will be easy to accept, because all the enzymes' and scientific chemistry that occurs in the body are undisputed and are real. Any biochemist or toxicologist will confirm them. The FDA even commissioned a team of the worlds top cancer specialists and bio-chemists to conduct tests to see if Laetrile could kill cancer cells. The team found it did kill cancer!. The team were all sacked and the findings with-held and coverred up. (see has it been proven by modern medicine) So how does B17 kill cancer?...... Here we go.... Firstly we need to understand that our bodies use several enzymes to perform many tasks. Our body has one particular enzyme called Rhodanese which is found in large quantities throughout the body but is not present where ever there are cancer cells. Yet, where ever you find cancer in the body, you find another enzyme called Beta-Glucosidase. So, we have the enzyme Rhodanese found everywhere in the body except at the cancer cells, and we have the enzyme Beta-Glucosidase found in very large quantities only at the cancer cell but not found anywhere else in the body. If there is no cancer in the body there is no enzyme Beta-Glucosidase. Photos Friends Now the following is what scares most people. You see, Vitamin B17 is made up of 2 parts glucose, 1 part Hydrogen Cyanide and 1 part Benzaldehyde(analgesic/painkiller). So its very important you understand the following: When B17 is introduced to the body, it is broken down by the enzyme Rhodanese. The Rhodanese breaks the Hydrogen Cyanide and Benzaldehyde down into 2 by-products, Thiocyanate and Benzoic acid which are beneficial in nourishing healthy cells and forms the metabolic pool production for vitamin B12. Any excess of these by-products is expelled in normal fashion from the body via urine. Vitamin B17 passes through your body and does not last longer than 80 minutes inside your body as a result of the Rhodanese breaking it down. (Hydrogen Cyanide has been proven to be chemically inert and non toxic when taken as food or refined pharmaceutical such as laetrile. Sugar has be shown to be 20 times more toxic than B17 - see good & bad cyanide). HERE IS THE GOOD PART - When the B17 comes into contact with cancer cells, there is no Rhodanese to break it down and neutrelise it but instead, only the enzyme Beta-Gucosidase is present in very large quantities. When B17 and Beta-Glucosidase come into contact with each other, a chemical reaction occurs and the Hydrogen Cyanide and Benzaldehyde combine synergistically to produce a poison which destroys and kills the cancer cells. This whole process is known as selective toxicity. Only the cancer cells are specifically targeted and destroyed. See the diagram below. That is how Vitamin B17 Kills Cancer. It has been proven and illustrated to work by the some of the top specialists in the world. Thats why the Contreras hospital in Mexico have been able over the LAST 30 YEARS to successfully treat over 100,000 cancer patients!!!

A great pioneer- Dr. John Richardson

Dr John A. Richardson M.D. (My Father in Law)

LECTURE BY MR. G. EDWARD GRIFFIN Dr. Richardson vs FDA
BookLaetrile Case Histories by John A. Richardson,

M.D. & Patricia Irving Griffin, R.N., B.S.
Quotes re Dr RichardsonThe first time I

was introduced to the subject of Laetrile or vitamin therapy in the control of cancer, was when I was on a short fishing trip with Dr. John Richardson, a physician in San Francisco, who as you probably know, is in the forefront of the legal battle to establish the physician's right to use laetrile or vitamin therapy or anything he wishes to use, in the treatment of his patients. Because he was using laetrile last year he was arrested by the FDA, and he is taking this case to the courts. I think he stands an excellent chance of winning but, of course, that remains yet to be seen. The whole purpose, the initial trigger behind the formation of the Committee for Freedom of Choice in Cancer Therapy was to rally nationwide support behind not only Dr. Richardson but other physicians who hopefully would have the courage to join with him and challenge the establishment, if you will, the bureaucracy, in the right for a physician to have freedom of choice in this regard. At Any rate, I e known John for quite a while, and we were on this fishing trip up in Oregon. If you ever have the chance to meet

this man you will recognize immediately that he is a very intense person. I was trying to enjoy the babbling stream, the fresh air, the green trees, the blue sky and he brought his brief case with him. I can assure you that his brief case was not loaded with fishing gear. He brought papers and manuscripts, books and charts and statistics, and he kept talking to me about a control for cancer that he had discovered and he was using it on his patients and low and behold he was saving lives of men and women who previously he would have had to tell that they were terminal and there was nothing more he could do. He kept telling me about this and I had really no particular interest in it. I was glad to hear it but I had about as much interest in learning the technical medical details as you or I might have in listening to an engineer talking about internal stresses in girder bridges. You know, these are things of great fascination to the engineer or the physician, but to the layperson it was not too interesting. Finally he began to tell me about the fact that they were suppressing this. They wouldn't let him use it, they were harassing him. I thought all of a sudden, good grief, John. Why he is becoming paranoid and I turned to him, and I remember very distinctly, I said, "Wait a minute, who are they John? Do you mean to tell me that there are people in the medical profession or in government or anywhere in the world who are so low and so crass, so mean, as to deliberately withhold a control for cancer?" And I didn't realize it at the time, but with the asking of that question my curiosity was already aroused and I was launched even then on an investigative research project that was to take me two or two and a half years, and it led me to the discovery of one of the most amazing stories of the twentieth century. LECTURE BY MR. G. EDWARD GRIFFIN (MD) "Certificate...of John A. Richardson...is revoked." - California Board of Medical Quality Assurance, 1975. "Federal, state, and local police raided Dr. (John) Richardson's Clinic,...beat up a(n) aide, manhandled a nurse, and dragged the business manager off in handcuffs."
Quotes: "I had to stand three expensive trials in California courts, where in all three actions
against me, the charges were dismissed. Then I had to stand an even longer and more expensive trial in Federal Court in San Diego, where I was convicted of 'conspiring to smuggle Laetrile' and was fined $30,000. ... Cal. then revoked my license." - John Richardson, MD. "The ...Times ...headlined the Assistant US Attorney ...grand jury investigation of myself, six months before the grand jury was even selected. ...Soon after Bantam printed 200,000 copies of our book, ...Times bought the serial rights to it. ...After sitting on the serial rights for a suitable period, the ...Times ...unctuously begged Bantam to be released from their gentlemen's agreement, and the serial market had been destroyed. ...Most libraries will not accept a book that has not been reviewed by the ...Times or its affiliate..." - John Richardson, MD, Richardson Newsletter, 1979. "Not that there are not real quacks in the field of cancer... But ...no legitimate MD...with a thriving practice and after years of study and faithful service would give all that up to become a quack and subject himself and his family to Hell..." - Laetrile Case Histories by John A.

Dr. Richardson vs FDA

[Extract] World Without Cancer by Edward Griffin pp. 322-327 Consequently, Dr. Richardson was well informed about the the nature of the forces arrayed against him. While others in the Laetrile movement tried to "enlighten" the FDA to its error in hopes that it would change its position, he knew they were wasting their time. While others circulated petitions requesting the FDA to grant permission for further testing of Laetrile, he said: "Get the FDA out of it altogether." While others were stunned at the blatantly unfair treatment given to them by the TV producers at NBC, he was surprised only that it wasn't worse. And while others instructed their attorneys to find some legal technicality to avoid a full confrontation with the law, Dr. Richardson sought ways to test the constitutionality of the law itself. Dr. Richardson was arrested on June 2,1972, for violating the California FDA's "anti-quackery" lawwhich means that he was charged with using Laetrile in the treatment of cancer. Armed officials burst into his office and, in the presence of patients (as well as news photographers whom the FDA had tipped off to cover the arrest), they handcuffed him and his two nurses and hauled them off to jail like dangerous criminals. The office was ransacked and Dr. Richardson's personal files and correspondence were seized. Patients in need of medical treatment were sent home. One child with advanced cancer of the leg died shortly afterward. It is possible that the death could have been prevented had it not been for the interruption of treatment and the child's psychological trauma resulting from the raid. Dr. Richardson's legal battle for medical freedom was long and costly. In May of 1974, after two years of litigation and two trialsboth of which resulted in hung juriesthe judge advised the food and drug authorities that they had failed to prove their case and that, consequently, all charges against Dr. Richardson were dismissed. The battle, however, was not over. Thwarted in court, the California FDA began to contact Richardson's patients hoping to find one or two who were not satisfied with their treatment. The plan was to convince them to instigate law suites against the doctorwith the government covering all the legal costs. Most doctors have dissatisfied patients who would be interested in this kind of an offer. Doctor Richardson, however, was not one of them. Every patient contacted told the government agents to go fly a kite. Finally, the father of one patient, Dorothy Soroka, was recruited for this purpose. He had been telling his daughter all along that Laetrile was quackery. The law suit was dropped, however, when Dorothy herself was called to testify. Not only did she staunchly defend her treatment but, much to the chagrin of the prosecutors, her health had continued to improve. The action against the Richardson Clinic up until that time had been carried out by the California FDA. After they had struck out for the third time, it was time for the federal FDA to step in. Dr. Richardson describes what happened next: In February of 1975, United States marshals in Minnesota, Alabama, Washington, Wisconsin, and Oregon seized shipments of Laetrile to patients who had come to our clinic and who since had returned to their homes to continue therapy on a maintenance level. I knew then that the primary purpose of such seizures was to prove that my shipments had crossed state lines which, theoretically, put me into interstate commerce and, thus, under the regulatory authority of the federal government. I soon learned, however, that there was another purpose behind this action as well. It was to mire me in a tar pit of legal requirements. From each state where Laetrile had been seized, I received subpoenas to appear in those states to defend myself against a laundry list of charges for alleged crimes. It was required that I retain a separate attorney in each state, that I travel to each for trial, and that I participate in endless hearings and interrogatories. It was a lawyer's paradise but, for me, a nightmare. I couldn't afford it either in money or time. I was, after all, only one man against the forces of the federal government and the state governments combined. They literally have high-rise office buildings filled with lawyers and agents living at taxpayers' expense. Money and time are no object to them. At about this same time, the IRS moved into my office and began pouring over my books, determined to find errors and discrepancies. We had paid heavily for our 1971-72 audit previously. Now a completely arbitrary and unjust assessment of $19,000 was made against me for 1973, without benefit of audit. I contested this and the IRS agreed before appropriate witnesses that I could place the questioned sum in escrow pending a tax-court hearing. My

position was vindicated a year later when, after a thorough review, I actually received a $1,800 refund for overpayment of 1973 taxes. In the meantime, however, Dennis Connover from the IRS Collection Division ignored our prior agreement and became determined to deliver the killing blow. I was threatened with a lien against my home and I had come to within just ten days of the date on which it was to be issued. The federal noose was tightening, and for the first time I began to think that I had been beaten. It took several more years for the story to play out but, in the end, Dr. Richardson's premonition was correct. In 1976, he was scheduled to testify before the California Legislative Health Committee on behalf of a bill to legalize Laetrile. As hi1 approached the hearing room, he was seized by plainclothes agents, handcuffed, and hauled off to jail. That was the beginning of a lengthy federal trial on charges of "conspiracy" to smuggle Laetrile. The doctor had never been involved with smuggling but he had purchased Laetrile from suppliers who could not prove they had imported the substance legally. Since he didn't ask his suppliers to produce import papers, it was alleged that he must have known the medication was smuggled. Therefore, when he purchased the Laetrile for his patients, he was said to have "conspired" with the smugglers. The government eventually obtained a conviction on the basis of this astounding reasoning. While this trial was being conducted, the FDA sent the following letter to the California Board of Medical Examiners: The FDA charges that Dr. Richardson has been and is engaged in conduct prohibited by law, unfounded in science, and without medical justification. We submit that such conduct is unethical and unprofessional, particularly so when it furthers the distribution of a remedy that has no established value, the promotion of which is fraud on the public. We call the Board's particular attention to the unresponsible and dangerous advice on the treatment of cancer in which Dr. Richardson urges patients to delay surgery and to avoid radiation treatment in favor of treatment with Laetrile. This advice, if followed, has an obvious potential for disastrous consequences. For these reasons, the Food and Drug Administration respectfully urges that this Board revoke Dr. Richardson's license to practice medicine.

The hearings before the Board of Medical Examiners in San Francisco were scheduled to be held concurrently with the trial in San Diego for "conspiracy" to smuggle. Both actions were orchestrated by the FDA. Since Dr. Richardson was required to be in court, it was impossible for him to attend the hearings to defend himself. It likely would have made little difference if he had. The hearings were like Stalin's show trials. The results had been decreed; only the process remained. On October 28, 1976, the Board issued its decision: Respondent utilized Laetrile and Pangamic Acid [vitamin B15] as therapeutic agents in the treatment of cancer. Laetrile and Pangamic Acid are not recognized vitamins in human nutrition. Laetrile has no known nutritional value and is unsafe for self-medication.... The management of cancer patients with Laetrile, Pangamic Acid, and vitamins, as prescribed by respondent, as the sole treatment of choice by the physician, to the exclusion of the aforementioned conventional modalities is an extreme departure from the standard practice of medicine.... Certificate number G-2848 of John A. Richardson, M.D., respondent above-named, is revoked. [1]
1. "Decision in the matter of the accusation against John A. Richardson, M.D., before the Board of Medical Quality Assurance, Division of Medical Quality for the State of California," Oct. 28,1976, pp. 4, 5,11.
Dr. Richardson eventually closed his thriving practice in Albany, California, and affiliated with a well-known clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, where he was able to continue treating cancer patientsand saving lives. He passed away in December of 1988. There are many other courageous men who have walked the highest wire. Dr. Ernst Krebs, the co-discoverer of Laetrile, was sent to prison for providing Pangamic Acid (vitamin B15) as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of cancer. Dr. James Privitera, M.D., from Covina, California, served time in prison for an alleged "conspiracy to sell Laetrile." Dr. Bruce Halstead, M.D., from Loma Linda, California, another Laetrile advocate, lost his medical license for using the "unproven" herbal called ADS (Aqua Del Sol) as an enhancement to the immune system. Dr. Douglas Brodie from Reno, Nevada, another Laetrile specialist, served time in prison, allegedly for "income-tax evasion." And then there is Dr. Philip Binzel, M.D., from Washington Court House, Ohio, who was featured in a previous chapter. Although at the time of this writing he has not lost his license or served time in prison, he has spent a major portion of the last decade of his life in court fighting the cancer industry. The battle never ends. The details of this sordid record of injustice have been included in the previous passages in the hope that they will allow the reader to experience some of the frustration and rage that these doctors have felt. Dr. Richardson summed it up this way: The average person, secure in his home and livelihood, never having felt the crushing attack of literally hundreds of tax-supported lawyers, unthreatened by a prison sentence for merely doing what he knows is right, such a person simply cannot understand the logic of a wounded bear.... When Nazi war criminals were accused of genocide, they defended themselves on the basis that they were just following orders and obeying the laws of the Nazi state. The civilized world cried out: "Guilty!" Man is expected to respond to a higher law than that of any state. When the laws of one's government require a man to condemn innocent people to death, he must reject those laws and stand with his conscience. If he does not, then he is no different from the Nazis who were hanged for war crimes. In the present battle, we do not even have the passion of war to justify our behavior. Yet, in the last few years more people have died needlessly of cancer than all the casualties of all our wars put together. How much suffering and death are the American people willing to take before they stand up to the bureaucracy? How many physicians must be put into prison before all physicians cry "enough!" to the increasing government control over their profession? How many Watergates do we need before we realize that mortal men are corrupted by power, and that the solutions to one's problems lie not in increasing the power of government but in decreasing it? The spirit of resistance is in the air. It is a refreshing breeze, but it gives me great hope. I have resolved to stand alone if need to. But, as I write these final words, I can't help but wonder, is there any one else out there? [1]

Prevention Prevention Prevention!!!

Tuesday, December 29, 2009 @10:57:05 AM I cannot say enough about PREVENTION being the key to a healthy long life. I grow weary in seeing wonderful people die young because they waited until they were already diagnosed to wake up and start eating right or taking vitamins etc. I am not to prideful to admit it could have just as easily been me that was the one who procrastinated...had I not met my wonderful husband who grew up in the alternative therapy world and whose Father, Dr. John Richardson pioneered in the alternative cancer field, I would have wondered around not knowing about prevention either. Now that I know there is a better way than waiting to get sick, I wish there were a way to get the word out that it isnt just about doing the right things when you are already sick , but about teaching our children how to take care of their bodies, about vitamins, about not just listening to and doing what "the establishment" says! I have already started teaching my son and pray he will embrace what we teach him and pass the knowledge on to his generations, but it seems like it will make a very little dent in a world full of millions of people! It would be discouraging if I did not know that God is in charge!! I do know God has a plan and a purpose for our lives and that He alone numberes our days, I just pray that mine will count towards getting the word spread, first about God's saving grace and love for us but also health wise....to do your research, take an interest in your health , teach others and be wise when it comes to your life choices! So here is to a new year, a new start and PREVENTION in 2010!!! Add Comment

Vitamin D prevents breast cancer

Friday, October 09, 2009 @12:37:10 PM (NaturalNews) You've heard the good news about vitamin D for years: It's a "miracle" medicine that reduces cancer rates by 77% according to previous research (http://www.naturalnews.com/021892_c...). It also happens to be a powerful anti-cancer medicine that can both prevent and help reverse breast cancer. Yet, bewilderingly, the cancer industry still refuses to teach women about vitamin D. Ever wonder why? Today, we bring you a compilation of expert quotations on vitamin D and breast cancer, cited from some of the most authoritative books and authors in the world. Feel free to share what you learn here with others who may also be suffering from breast cancer.
Vitamin D and breast cancer

Sunlight triggers the formation of vitamin D in the skin, which can be activated in the liver and kidneys into a hormone with great activity. This activated form of vitamin D causes "cellular differentiation" - essentially the opposite of cancer. The following evidence indicates that vitamin D might have a protective role against breast cancer: Synthetic vitamin D-like molecules have prevented the equivalent of breast cancer in animals. - The Natural Pharmacy: Complete A-Z Reference to Natural Treatments for Common Health Conditions by Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D. Thompson, Pharm.D., N.D. Two equally effective sources of vitamin D in humans are derived from plant ergosterol, which is converted to ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) by the action of sunlight on the skin. The body uses vitamin D3 for normal immune system function, to control cellular growth, and to absorb calcium from the digestive tract. Vitamin D3 can inhibit the growth of malignant melanoma, breast cancer, leukemia, and mammary tumors in laboratory animals. Vitamin D3 can also inhibit angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels that permit the spread of cancer cells through the body. - Permanent Remissions by Robert Hass, M.S. There's surprising new evidence that older women who skimp on foods rich in vitamin D are more likely to develop breast cancer, according to Frank Garland, Ph.D., of the Department of Community and Family Medicine at the University of California at San Diego. This may also help explain fish's anticancer protection, because fatty fish is packed with vitamin D. Specifically, Dr. Garland finds that dietary vitamin D wards off postmenopausal breast cancer in women over fifty, but not in women who get cancer at younger ages. - Food Your Miracle Medicine by Jean Carper In animals fed a high fat diet, which normally would produce a higher incidence of colon cancer, supplements of calcium and vitamin D blocked this carcinogenic effect of the diet. Vitamin D inhibits the growth of breast cancer in culture, and also seems to subdue human breast cancer. Cells from human prostate cancer were put into a "...permanent nonproliferative state", or shut down the cancer process, by the addition of vitamin D. Human cancer cells have been shown to have receptor sites, or stereo specific "parking spaces" for vitamin D. - Beating Cancer with Nutrition by Patrick Quillin

Even though vitamin D is one of the most powerful healing chemicals in your body, your body makes it absolutely free. No prescription required. Diseases and conditions caused by vitamin D deficiency: Osteoporosis is commonly caused by a lack of vitamin D, which impairs calcium absorption. Sufficient vitamin D prevents prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, depression, colon cancer, and schizophrenia. "Rickets" is the name of a bone-wasting disease caused by vitamin D deficiency. - Natural Health Solutions by Mike Adams George's Hospital Medical School in London finds local production of vitamin D in breast tissue reduces the risk for breast cancer. For women with low breast tissue levels of vitamin D the risk for breast cancer rose by 354%! This study suggests women sunbathe with breast tissue exposed to the sun to enhance local vitamin D production. The provision of 400 IU of vitamin D per day has been found to reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer by 43%. - You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore by Bill Sardi Taken together, these facts suggest that vitamin D and its derivatives may play a role in regulating the expression of genes and protein products that prevent and inhibit breast cancer. The cancer-stopping power of vitamin D has been documented in osteosarcoma (bone cancer), melanoma, colon cancer, and breast cancer. These cancer cells contain vitamin-D receptors that make them susceptible to the anticancer effects of this vitamin-hormone made by the skin when it is exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D-rich foods include salmon, tuna, fish oils, and vitamin D-fortified milk and breakfast cereals. - Permanent Remissions by Robert Hass, M.S. Low levels of vitamin D may also increase the proliferation of white blood cells and may accelerate the arthritic process in rheumatoid arthritis. Vitamin D supplements are likely to be useful in retarding these adverse effects of alterations in metabolism. Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to several cancers including those of the colon, prostate and breast. Laboratory experiments show that vitamin D can inhibit the growth of human prostate cancer and breast cancer cells. Lung cancer and pancreatic cancer cells may also be susceptible to the effects of vitamin D. - The New Encyclopedia of Vitamins, Minerals, Supplements and Herbs by Nicola Reavley Laboratory experiments show that vitamin D can inhibit the growth of human prostate cancer and breast cancer cells. Lung cancer and pancreatic cancer cells may also be susceptible to the effects of vitamin D. Sunlight also seems to be protective against several types of cancer including ovarian, breast and prostate cancers; and this effect may be mediated by vitamin D levels. Synthetic vitamin D-type compounds are being investigated for their potential as anticancer drugs. - The New Encyclopedia of Vitamins, Minerals, Supplements and Herbs by Nicola Reavley If mutations aren't corrected or if a cell has already undergone malignant transformation, activated vitamin D can team up with other proteins to stimulate programmed death of abnormal cells. This evidence, along with animal studies, suggest that a girl who lacks adequate vitamin D during puberty years will have abnormal breast development. This, in turn, may increase a woman's susceptibility to risk factors such as alcohol for breast cancer development. In other words, the window of greatest opportunity for vitamin D to reduce breast cancer risk may be during childhood and puberty. - The Vitamin D Cure by James Dowd and Diane Stafford A key development for vitamin D was the appearance of increasing evidence that experts had detected a strong relationship between vitamin D and breast cancer risk. The important Nurses Health Study found a 30 percent lower risk of breast cancer in pre-menopausal women when comparing the highest to the lowest intakes of vitamin D, calcium, and low-fat dairy, especially skim milk. - The Vitamin D Cure by James Dowd and Diane Stafford Out of every 100 women who might get breast cancer, 50 of them can avoid breast cancer by simply getting adequate levels of vitamin D in their body, and that's available free of charge through sensible exposure to natural sunlight, which produces vitamin D. This vitamin, all by itself, reduces relative cancer risk by 50 percent, which is better than any prescription drug that has ever been invented by any drug company in the world. Combine that with green tea, and your prevention of breast cancer gets even stronger. - Natural Health Solutions by Mike Adams There's so much more to vitamin D than enhancing calcium absorption; its anticancer benefit is just one other possibility. Most of 63 recently reviewed studies found a protective effect between vitamin D status and cancer risk. A study presented at the 2006 American Association for Cancer Research meeting suggested that an increase in vitamin D lowered the risk of developing breast cancer by up to 50 percent. How might vitamin D help? - Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well by Elaine Magee Place sunshine or vitamin D pills on your list of preventive or therapeutic measures. A daily intake of 2,600 units of vitamin D (65 mcg) is recommended to attain blood concentrations that will optimally protect against disease. There is no way the diet can provide this much vitamin D. Sun-starved females are at great risk for breast cancer, particularly women living in northern latitudes where wintertime sun exposure produces little vitamin D because of a decline in UV radiation in solar light. - You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore by Bill Sardi Sunlight produces vitamin D in humans. A deficiency of vitamin D is linked with breast cancer. Was the increase in male breast cancer caused by magnetic fields or by lack of vitamin D? These are the types of questions that make it difficult to ascertain if there is a link between EMF exposure and cancer. To make matters worse, a cell biologist doing work on EMFs for the Department of Energy, faked data linking cancer to electromagnetic fields in order to gain $3.3 million worth of grants for scientific research. - You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore by Bill Sardi The dosage of vitamin D required to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer may be much higher than the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of 400 international units per day. Since vitamin D can be toxic in doses that greatly exceed this value, researchers have developed synthetic analogues of vitamin D that retain the ability to inhibit cancer cell growth without the toxicity associated with high doses. These analogs have been successfully used in animal models of leukemia and breast cancer. Vitamin D may be related to other cancers. - Permanent Remissions by Robert Hass, M.S. Sunlight exposure, which leads to an increased level of vitamin D, correlates with a reduced risk of breast cancer. I usually recommend small amounts of vitamin D (400 to 1,000 IU) for those people without sunlight exposure, especially during the winter. I also occasionally recommend cod liver oil during the winter months as a source of vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. Vitamin D deficiency is very common in the elderly and in people who live in parts of the world with little sunlight; it is also one of the major contributing factors to osteoporosis. - Herbal Medicine, Healing and Cancer: A Comprehensive Program for Prevention and Treatment by Donald R. Yance, j r.,C.N., M.H., A.H.G., with Arlene Valentine But how does vitamin D actually work? For many years that was a mystery. The "revolution of information" on vitamin D began in 1968, when J.W. Blunt and colleagues discovered the form of vitamin D that actually circulates in the blood (25-OH-D3). This hormonal form of the vitamin, created in the kidneys, is ultimately responsible for the classical action of the vitamin. At the molecular level, some cancer cells appear to have receptors on their surfaces that are capable of receiving the vitamin D molecule. Scientists studied cancer cells from 136 patients with breast cancer. - Cancer Therapy: The Independent Consumer's Guide To Non-Toxic Treatment & Prevention by Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. Symptoms of vitamin D toxicity include anorexia, disorientation, dehydration, fatigue, weight loss, weakness, and vomiting. New analogues of vitamin D3 allow cancer victims to take high doses of the vitamin without fear of elevating calcium in the blood to

dangerous levels. These new forms of vitamin D have very high potency in controlling cell proliferation and differentiation. One of these, calci-potriol, can be used topically to treat psoriasis and inhibit the growth of metastatic breast cancer in patients with whose tumors have vitamin D receptors. - Permanent Remissions by Robert Hass, M.S. In an investigation into the relationship of breast density as measured by mammography to serum-vitamin D levels, it was found that there was a strong inverse correlation; the higher the density, the lower the vitamin D levels. Does the blood level of vitamin D at the time of diagnosis of breast cancer make a difference in a woman's time of survival? Yes, it does. - The Clinician's Handbook of Natural Healing by Gary Null, Ph.D. Although not part of the study, outdoor exercise where you are getting some (but not too much) sun exposure also raises vitamin D levels. Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with a greater risk of cancer. Relaxation techniques such as writing, meditation, yoga, or massage therapy can aid in battling breast cancer. There is a clear link between alcohol consumption and an increased risk of breast cancer. A study reported in The New England journal of Medicine has stated that consuming as few as three alcoholic drinks a week increases the potential for breast cancer by 50 percent. - Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements by Phyllis A.

Yoga: Research Finds Natural Way to Control Weight

Thursday, August 20, 2009 @1:35:00 PM (NaturalNews) The origin of the word "yoga" is the Sanskrit word yuj, meaning "yoke or union." And practitioners of this ancient discipline, which combines physical postures, meditation, breathing exercises and a philosophy of mindfulness, aim for a union between the mind and the body. Now western science is backing up this basic tenet of yoga. It appears yoga does help link the mind to the body. What's more it can link appetite control to weight loss. According to a new study headed by researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, people who practice yoga regularly are less likely to be obese. The reason isn't necessarily the exercise part of yoga but the mindfulness part that promotes a slim body. Simply put, practicing yoga makes people mindful of what and how they eat --- and that, the scientists say, can help prevent the dread phenomenon of middle-age spread in normal-weight people. In addition, it may promote weight loss in those who are overweight. The new research, just published in the August issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, was inspired by a previous study by the same team of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center scientists. Four years ago, Dr. Alan Kristal and his colleagues first found that regular yoga practice seemed to promote weight loss. The researchers theorized that the weight-loss effect might have more to do with increased body awareness than the actual increased physical activity of yoga practice. Specifically, the scientists suspected that people who practice yoga and mindfulness become more sensitive to feelings of real hunger and also real satiety. Bottom line: yoga practice makes you less likely to eat except when you are actually hungry and more likely to stop eating when you are full. The result? A slimmer body, controlled appetite and a healthy BMI. In a statement to the media, Dr. Kristal explained the new study confirms his research team's initial ideas about yoga's connection to weight control and weight loss. "In our earlier study, we found that middle-age people who practice yoga gained less weight over a ten year period than those who did not. This was independent of physical activity and dietary patterns. We hypothesized that mindfulness -- a skill learned either directly or indirectly through yoga -- could affect eating behavior," said Dr. Kristal, who heads the Cancer Prevention Program in the Public Health Sciences Division at the Hutchinson Center. The researchers discovered that people who ate mindfully, meaning they were aware of why they were eating and did not engage in binge eating or munching even though they weren't truly hungry, weighed less than those who ate mindlessly and in response to anxiety or depression. The scientists did not find a similar association between other types of physical activity, such as walking or running, and mindful eating.

"These findings fit with our hypothesis that yoga increases mindfulness in eating and leads to less weight gain over time, independent of the physical activity aspect of yoga practice," said Kristal, who is also a professor of epidemiology at the University of Washington School of Public Health. "Mindful eating is a skill that augments the usual approaches to weight loss, such as dieting, counting calories and limiting portion sizes. Adding yoga practice to a standard weight-loss program may make it more effective." Dr. Kristal, who has practiced yoga himself for 15 years, explained in the press statement that yoga leads to mindfulness in a variety of ways, such as being able to hold a challenging physical pose by observing the discomfort in a non-judgmental way while accepting these feelings with a calm mind and by focusing on breathing. "This ability to be calm and observant during physical discomfort teaches how to maintain calm in other challenging situations, such as not eating more even when the food tastes good and not eating when you're not hungry," he said. Other yoga research is being actively pursued by the National Institutes of Health's National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), too. According to the NCCAM's web site, studies are underway to see how yoga might help a variety of medical conditions including high blood pressure, chronic low-back pain, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, HIV and multiple sclerosis.

Bone Cancer... Read this letter from a member!

Monday, August 03, 2009 @12:18:30 PM Hi Kristi, Thank you for getting back to me. To update you on Paul's situation, today we quit giving Paul the low fat cottage cheese found in the Budwig Diet, but are still going to be giving him ground up flax seeds and flax seed oil. We hope Paul will get the sulphurus proteins required for the Budwig Diet from the broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, leek, onions, and garlic in his diet. Our rational was as follows: First I found the following report *http://tinyurl.com/mqfnla* Right below table I it says, "It is recommended, therefore, to avoid all mucus producing foods,e.g., all dairy products," This is an old report and it doesn't specifically comment on fermented products required in the Budwig Diet like low fat cottage cheese and yogurt. Second, Paul has been wanting to quit the dairy for some time as it gives him a lot of pain. Accordingly, despite the fact that it was the only thing that worked for him initially, I believe when he's getting a lot of pain from the dairy, I have to believe that his body is telling him not to do that. Third, we are doing a lot of other anti cancer protocols now with Paul and are still trying to retain any benefit possible of the Budwig Protocol by maintaining raw cold pressed flax seed oil, with ground flax seeds and hopefully they'll combine with the sulphurus proteins in the vegetable sources in his diet to continue to give Paul at least some of the benefit of the Budwig Protocol. Additionally, to day we started the Metabolic Therapy Protocol from the World Without Cancer website. You can download a PDF file of their protocol at the following URL on the right hand side of the page if you would like a copy of it. There are two 21 day options for the first phase of the protocol. Today we started Paul on the oral option. However, we now have the injectables we need to do the injectable option and will be pursuing getting help to implement that option as that is what Paul wants to do. In addition we will be giving Paul the Essiac Tea starting tomorrow. We just got it today. Further, my brother-in-laws, wife's cousin cured his son of incurable bone cancer with with Magnesium Calcium Chelate. In that case, the bone in the boy's head was literally melting and developing soft spots. He only had a few weeks to live. His father, being a teacher with chemistry knowledge, decided to supersaturate the boy's body with calcium and magnesium so that the cancer couldn't remove the calcium from his bones. And, it worked. The boy is now fine and is out working in Alberta Canada. And he has long since passed the previous longest survivor of his type of cancer which was 21 months. We think that this may be helpful in Paul's case as well and Paul was taking Calcium Magnesium Chelate before when we got the good results with Budwig and it is possible that the good results we got with Paul then that we attributed to Budwig might have been due in large part to the Ca Mg chelate. We previously stopped the Ca Mg Chelate supplementation when Paul started to get pains in his long bones which is a symptom of toxicity. If we had continued we might have calcified Paul's soft tissues and organs. This time that it is actually our objective to achieve saturation of his tissues and slight calcification. The reasoning is this. The cancer in Paul's lymph nodes is like a cigarette burn in a piece of paper or a grass fire burning where they are burning at the perimeter but leaving dead material behind in the area already burnt. The cancer in Paul's lymph nodes is like that. The material in the center is dead necrotic material while the cancer expands at the perimeter of the lymph nodes and the nodes conglomerate joint together like two droplets of water joining together to form a larger droplet. The center of the cancerous lymph nodes are dead because the accumulation of lactic acid from the fermentation of the glucose by the cancer cells becomes so toxic that it kills the cancer cells in the middle of the tumor. But, at the perimeter of the tumor where the tumor comes into contact with normal cells, the high lactic acid levels and toxins created by the cancer cells cause alteration of the RNA and DNA of the neighboring normal cells, which then causes the body to lose control over the growth of those cells, and then they also convert to fermentation, and the cancer spreads in this way. Accordingly, since magnesium and calcium are metals and metals neutralize acids into salts, having calcium laid down in the soft tissues could be a real plus in that the lactic acid would be neutralized by the metals, making it harder for the cancer to spread and could possibly neutralize the acid at the perimeter stopping or at least slowing or making it more difficult for the cancer to spread. This may the allow other body defenses currently being overwhelmed by the cancer to bring the cancer under control if the cancer can be weakened. Two days ago we started this regimen by giving Paul 9 Calcium Magnesium Chelate capsules. Six is the normal daily limit. Yesterday we gave him 8 and today 7. We expected to approach body saturation in about two days and today he is showing signs of toxicity with pains in his long bones. Accordingly, we will now back away and try to keep him just around this level. Further, Paul's pH level rose to 7.4 which is normal for the first time. The acid level in the body is a measure of the intensity that the cancer is growing and spreading in the body, like a thermometer is to a fever. Accordingly, the acid fires in the body are being brought under control. Another protocol we will be pursuing with Paul is baking soda therapy, as per, Dr. Simoncini of Italy. Dr. Simoncini has been curing

people of cancer with baking soda. Simoncini says that cancer is a fungus. And, that baking soda is the strongest anti-fungicide. This is something we're pursuing trying to get medical help to implement this treatment. If you are not familiar with this therapy, you can learn more about it at the following websites. On the first website watch the video half way down the page. On the second website, read the frequently asked questions for a quick overview. then there's a lot more information of the site and other sites about the therapy. http://aromatherapy4u.wordpress.com/2008/08/05/974/ Here are further sites that describe Dr. Simoncini's explanations and methods of treatment: See the FAQs in the first one. http://www.curenaturalicancro.com/ http://www.cancerisafungus.com/ http://www.cancerfungus.com/ So, we are trying to attack Paul's cancer on multiple fronts trying to overwhelm the cancer and make it difficult for it to continue to spread. Daily we are reexamining what we are doing and just keep trying to improve and adjust. I hope the this information is of interest and help to you in helping others. Thank again for getting back to me, Best regards, Frank

Lonliness..your not alone...

Thursday, July 30, 2009 @2:30:31 PM I can imagine that there is a bit of lonliness when diagnosed with cancer for the first time.......especially if you are attempting to go the alternative route, I can imagine friends and family telling you "You're crazy, you'll die if you don't do what your doctor says" and the sense of isolation from the "conventional ways" . I am sorry you have to go through that. As I have recently moved to a small town of about 60k county wide, but 6,000 in our community I can relate to lonliness. My husband knows everybody since he grew up here and I ventured out not knowing a soul...leaving all my friends and family back in the big city I left. Don't get me wrong I am glad we moved, the fresh air, nicer people (it seems) and the slower pace is GREAT!! I just never realized how hard it is to make new friends.....UGH to have to try and explain at 34 my life story to a new gal I may meet or take the time for them to learn who I am as a person by spending time after time together. It just isn't as easy as I thought. One thing that gives me comfort is knowing GOD is all I need to fulfill me, friends and family are just a bonus that we shouldnt take for granted. In the bible JEsus says "I will never leave you nor forsake you" so in my lonliest hour I know I have a friend in Jesus and he can speak to me though his word if I am feeling lonely. That makes me feel all the better and I am thankful for a faithful God who is ALWYAS there for me and always there for you.. in our darkest hours........In the Psalms remember it says "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, (can relate to cancer or just a dark time in your life) I will fear no evil..for you are with me, your rod and your staff they comfort me............HOW REASSURING IS THAT?? If you feel alone, email me, I am always happy to chat with new friends :) God Bless! Add Comment
Cancer isn't a Disease - It's a Survival Mechanism

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @5:21:11 PM (NaturalNews) What you are about to read may rock or even dismantle the very foundation of your beliefs about your body, health and healing. The title, "Cancer Is Not a Disease" may be unsettling for many, provocative to some, but encouraging for all. This book will serve as a revelation for those who are sufficiently open-minded to consider the possibility that cancer and other debilitating illnesses are not actual diseases, but desperate and final attempts by the body to stay alive for as long as circumstances permit. It will perhaps astound you to learn that a person who is afflicted with the main causes of cancer (which constitute the real illness) would most likely die quickly unless he actually grew cancer cells. In this work, I provide evidence to this effect.
Sign the Health Revolution Petition

Join the call for genuine health freedom in America. End FDA tyranny and Big Pharma corruption. Watch the video and sign the petition here.
I further claim that cancer will only occur after all other defense or healing mechanisms in the body have failed. In extreme circumstances, exposure to large amounts of cancer-producing agents (carcinogens) can bring about a collapse of the body's defenses within several weeks or months and allow for rapid and aggressive growth of a cancerous tumor. Usually, though, it takes many years, or even decades, for these so-called "malignant" tumors to form. Unfortunately, basic misconceptions or complete lack of knowledge about the reasons behind tumor growth have turned "malignant" tumors into vicious monsters that have no other purpose but to kill us in retaliation for our sins or abusing the body. However, as you are about to find out, cancer is on our side, not against us. Unless we change our perception of what cancer really is, it will continue to resist treatment, particularly the most "advanced" methods. If you have cancer, and cancer is indeed part of the body's complex survival responses and not a disease, as I suggest it is, you must find answers to the following pressing questions: * What reasons coerce your body into developing cancer cells? * Once you have identified these reasons, will you be able to change them? What determines the type and severity of cancer with which you are afflicted? * If cancer is a survival mechanism, what needs to be done to prevent the body from taking recourse to such drastic defense measures?
8 z 30
2012-08-18 20:55
* Since the body's original genetic design always favors the preservation of life and protection against adversities of any kind, why would the body permit self-destruction? * Why do almost all cancers disappear by themselves, without medical intervention? * Do radiation, chemotherapy and surgery actually cure cancer, or do cancer survivors heal due to other reasons, despite these radical, side-effect-loaded treatments? * What roles do fear, frustration, low self-worth and repressed anger play in the origination and outcome of cancer? * What is the spiritual growth lesson behind cancer? To deal with the root causes of cancer, you must find satisfying and practical answers to the above questions. If you feel the inner urge to make sense of this life-changing event, (cancer that is), you most likely will recover from it. Cancer can be your greatest opportunity to help restore balance to all aspects of your life, but it can also be the harbinger of severe trauma and suffering. Either way you are always in control of your body. To live in a human body, you must have access to a certain amount of life-sustaining energy. You may either use this inherent energy in a nourishing and self-sustaining or in a destructive and debilitating way. In case you consciously or unconsciously choose negligence or self-abuse over loving attention and self-respect, your body will likely end up having to fight for its life. Cancer is but one of the many ways the body tries to change the way you see and treat yourself, including your body. This inevitably brings up the subject of spiritual health, which plays at least as important a role in cancer as physical and emotional reasons do. Cancer appears to be a highly confusing and unpredictable disorder. It seems to strike the very happy and the very sad, the rich and the poor, the smokers and the non-smokers, the very healthy and the not so healthy. People from all backgrounds and occupations can have cancer. However, if you dare look behind the mask of its physical symptoms, such as the type, appearance and behavior of cancer cells, you will find that cancer is not as coincidental or unpredictable as it seems to be. What makes 50% of the American population so prone to developing cancer, when the other half has no risk at all? Blaming the genes for that is but an excuse to cover up ignorance of the real causes. Besides, any good genetic researcher would tell you that such a belief is void of any logic and outright unscientific (as explained in the book). Cancer has always been an extremely rare illness, except in industrialized nations during the past 40-50 years. Human genes have not significantly changed for thousands of years. Why would they change so drastically now, and suddenly decide to kill scores of people? The answer to this question is amazingly simple: Damaged or faulty genes do not kill anyone. Cancer does not kill a person afflicted with it! What kills a cancer patient is not the tumor, but the numerous reasons behind cell mutation and tumor growth. These root causes should be the focus of every cancer treatment, yet most oncologists typically ignore them. Constant conflicts, guilt and shame, for example, can easily paralyze the body's most basic functions, and lead to the growth of a cancerous tumor. After having seen thousands of cancer patients over a period of three decades, I began to recognize a certain pattern of thinking, believing and feeling that was common to most of them. To be more specific, I have yet to meet a cancer patient who does not feel burdened by some poor self-image, unresolved conflict and worries, or past emotional trauma that still lingers in his/her subconscious. Cancer, the physical disease, cannot occur unless there is a strong undercurrent of emotional uneasiness and deep-seated frustration. Cancer patients typically suffer from lack of self-respect or worthiness, and often have what I call an "unfinished business" in their life. Cancer can actually be a way of revealing the source of such inner conflict. Furthermore, cancer can help them come to terms with such a conflict, and even heal it altogether. The way to take out weeds is to pull them out along with their roots. This is how we must treat cancer; otherwise, it may recur eventually. The following statement is very important in the consideration of cancer: "Cancer does not cause a person to be sick; it is the sickness of the person that causes the cancer." To treat cancer successfully requires the patient to become whole again on all levels of his body, mind and spirit. Once the cancer causes have been properly identified, it will become apparent what needs to be done to achieve complete recovery. It is a medical fact that every person has cancer cells in the body all the time. These cancer cells remain undetectable through standard tests until they have multiplied to several billion. When doctors announce to their cancer patients that the treatments they prescribed had successfully eliminated all cancer cells, they merely refer to tests that are able to identify the detectable number of cancerous cells. Standard cancer treatments may lower the number of cancer cells to an undetectable level, but this certainly cannot eradicate all cancer cells. As long as the causes of tumor growth remain intact, cancer may redevelop at any time and at any rate. Curing cancer has little to do with getting rid of a group of detectable cancer cells. Treatments like chemotherapy and radiation are certainly capable of poisoning or burning many cancer cells, but they also destroy healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, etc., which often leads to permanent irreparable damage of entire organs and systems in the body. A real cure of cancer does not occur at the expense of destroying other vital parts of the body. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people who were once "successfully" treated for cancer die from infections, heart attacks, liver failure, kidney failure and other illnesses because the cancer treatments generate a massive amount of inflammation and destruction in the organs and systems of the body. Of course, these causes of death are not being attributed to cancer. This statistical omission makes it appear we are making progress in the war against cancer. However, many more people are dying from the treatment of cancer than from cancer. A real cure or cancer is achievable only when the causes of excessive growth of cancer cells have been removed or stopped. Power in the Word Cancer is the second leading "cause" of death for Americans. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1.2 million cases will be diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. in 2008. More than 552,000 Americans will die of it. Among men, the top three cancer diagnoses are expected to be prostate cancer (180,400 cases), lung cancer (89,500 cases), and colorectal cancer (63,600). The leading types of cancer among women are breast cancer (182,800 cases), lung cancer (74,600), and colorectal cancer (66,600 cases). Cancer is not just a word, but also a statement that refers to abnormal or unusual behavior of cells in the body. However, in quite a different context, cancer is referred to as a star sign. When someone tells you that you are a "cancer", are you going to tremble with fear of dying? It is unlikely, because your interpretation of being of the cancer sign does not imply that you have cancer, the illness. But if your doctor called you into his office and told you that you had cancer, you would most likely feel paralyzed, numb, terrified, hopeless, or all of the above. The word "cancer" has the potential to play a very disturbing and precarious role, one that is capable of delivering a death sentence. Being a cancer patient seems to start with the diagnosis of cancer, although its causes may have been there for many years prior to feeling ill. Within a brief moment, the word "cancer" can turn someone's entire world upside down. Who or what in this world has bestowed this simple word or statement with such great power that it can preside over life and death? Or does it really? Could it actually be that our collective, social belief that cancer is a killer disease, in addition to the aggressive
9 z 30
2012-08-18 20:55
treatments that follow diagnosis, are largely responsible for the current dramatic escalation of cancer in the Western hemisphere? Too far fetched, you might say! In this book, however, I will make the point that cancer can have no power or control over us, unless we unconsciously allow it to grow in response to the beliefs, perceptions, attitudes, thoughts, feelings we have, and the life choices we make. Would we be just as afraid of cancer if we knew what caused it or at least understood what its underlying purpose is? Unlikely so! If truth were told, we would most probably do everything to remove the causes and, thereby, set the preconditions for the body to heal itself. A little knowledge (which is what we call ignorance) is, in fact, a dangerous thing. Almost everyone, at least in the industrialized world, knows that drinking water from a filthy pond or polluted lake can cause life-threatening diarrhea, but still only few realize that holding on to resentment, anger and fear, or eating fast foods, chemical additives, and artificial sweeteners, is no less dangerous than drinking polluted water; it may just take a little longer to kill a person than tiny amoeba can. Mistaken Judgment We all know that if the foundation of a house is strong, the house can easily withstand external challenges, such as a violent storm. As we will see, cancer is merely an indication that there is something missing in our body and in life as a whole. Cancer shows that life as a whole (physical, mental and spiritual) stands on shaky grounds and is quite fragile, to say the least. It would be foolish for a gardener to water the withering leaves of a tree when he knows so well that the real problem is not where it appears to be, namely, on the symptomatic level (of withered leaves). By watering the roots of the plant, he naturally attends to the causative level, and consequently, the plant regenerates itself swiftly and automatically. To the trained eye of a gardener, the symptom of withering leaves is not a dreadful disease. He recognizes that the dehydrated state of these leaves is but a direct consequence of withdrawn nourishment that they need in order to sustain themselves and the rest of the plant. Although this example from nature may appear to be a simplistic analogy, it offers a profound understanding of very complex disease processes in the human body. It accurately describes one of the most powerful and fundamental principles controlling all life forms on the planet. However skilled we may have become in manipulating the functions of our body through the tools of allopathic medicine, this basic, highly evolved principle of evolution cannot be suppressed or violated without paying the hefty price of side-effect-riddled suffering and pain - physically, emotionally and spiritually. I fervently challenge the statement that cancer is a killer disease. Furthermore, I will demonstrate that cancer is not a disease at all. Many people who received a "terminal" cancer sentence actually defied the prognosis and experienced total remission. The Need for Answers There is no cancer that has not been survived by someone, regardless how far advanced it was. If even one person has succeeded in healing his cancer, there must be a mechanism for it, just as there is a mechanism for creating cancer. Every person on the planet has the capacity for both. If you have been diagnosed with cancer, you may not be able to change the diagnosis, but it is certainly in your power to alter the destructive consequences that it (the diagnosis) may have on you. The way you see the cancer and the steps you take following the diagnosis are some of the most powerful determinants of your future wellness, or the lack of it. The indiscriminate reference to "cancer" as being a killer disease by professionals and lay people alike has turned cancer into a disorder with tragic consequences for the majority of today's cancer patients and their families. Cancer has become synonymous to extraordinary suffering, pain and death. This is true despite the fact that 90-95 percent of all cancers appear and disappear out of their own accord. There is not a day that passes without the body making millions of cancer cells. Some people, under severe temporary stress make more cancer cells than usual and form clusters of cancerous cells that disappear again once they feel better. Secretions of the DNA's anticancer drug, Interleukin II, drop under physical and mental duress and increase again when relaxed and joyful. Thus, most cancers vanish without any form of medical intervention and without causing any real harm. Right at this moment, there are millions of people walking around with cancers in their body without having a clue that they have them. Likewise, there are millions of people who heal their cancers without even knowing it. Overall, there are many more spontaneous remissions of cancer than there are diagnosed and treated cancers. The truth is, relatively few cancers actually become "terminal." However, once diagnosed, the vast majority of all cancers are never even given a chance to disappear on their own. They are promptly targeted with an arsenal of deadly weapons of cell destruction such as chemotherapy drugs, radiation and the surgical knife. The problem with cancer patients is that, terrified by the diagnosis, they submit their bodies to all these cut/burn/poison procedures that, more likely than not, lead them to the day of final sentencing, "We have to tell you with our deepest regret there is nothing more that can be done to help you." The most pressing question is not how advanced or dangerous a cancer is, but what we need to do to not end up dying from it. Why do some people go through cancer as if it were the flu? Are they just lucky or is there a mechanism at work that triggers the healing? In other words, what is that element that prevents the body from healing cancer naturally, or what is that hidden element that makes cancer so dangerous, if it is dangerous at all? The answers to all these queries lie with the response of the person who has the cancer, and not with the degree of "viciousness" or advanced stage it appears to have progressed to. Do you believe that cancer is a disease? You will most likely answer with a "yes," given the 'informed' opinion that the medical industry and mass media have fed to the masses for many decades. Yet, the most pressing yet rarely asked question remains: "Why do you think cancer is a disease?" You may say: "Because I know cancer kills people every day." I would question you further: "How do you know that it is the cancer that kills people?" You would probably argue that most people who have cancer die, so obviously it must be the cancer that kills them. Besides, you may reason, all the expert doctors tell us so. Let me raise another question, a rather strange one: "How do you know for sure that you are the daughter/son of your father and not of another man?" Is it because your mother told you so? What makes you think that your mother told you the truth? Probably because you believe her; and you have no reason not to. After all, she is your mother, and mothers do not lie about these things. Or do they? Although you will never really know that the person you believe to be your father is, in fact, your father, you nevertheless have turned what you subjectively believe into something that you just "know," into an irrefutable truth. Although there is no scientific proof whatsoever that cancer is a disease (versus a survival mechanism), most people will insist that it is a disease because this is what they were told to believe. Yet their belief is only hearsay information based on other people's opinions. These other people heard it from someone else. Eventually, the "truth" of cancer being a disease can be traced to some doctors who expressed their subjective feelings or beliefs about what they observed and wrote about in some review articles or medical reports. Other doctors agreed with their opinion, and before long, it became a "well-established" fact that cancer is a vicious illness that somehow gets hold of people in order to kill them. However, the truth of the matter may be quite different. Wisdom of Cancer Cells Cancer cells are not part of a malicious disease process. When cancer cells spread (metastasize) throughout the body, it is not their purpose or goal to disrupt the body's vitals functions, infect healthy cells and obliterate their host (the body). Self-destruction is not the theme of any cell unless, of course, it is old and worn-out and ready to be turned-over and replaced. Cancer cells, like all other cells, know that if the body dies, they will die as well. Just because some people assume that cancer cells are there to destroy the

body does not mean cancer cells have such a purpose or ability. A cancerous tumor is neither the cause of progressive destruction nor does it actually lead to the death of the body. There is nothing in a cancer cell that has even remotely the ability to kill anything. What eventually leads to the demise of an organ or the entire body is the wasting away of cell tissue resulting from continued deprivation of nutrients and life force. The drastic reduction or shutdown of vital nutrient supplies to the cells of an organ is not primarily a consequence of a cancerous tumor, but actually its biggest cause. By definition, a cancer cell is a normal, healthy cell that has undergone genetic mutation to the point that it can live in an anaerobic surrounding (an environment where oxygen is not available). In other words, if you deprive a group of cells of vital oxygen (their primary source of energy), some of them will die, but others will manage to alter their genetic software program and mutate in a most ingenious way: the cells will be able to live without oxygen and derive some of their energy needs from such things as cellular metabolic waste products. It may be easier to understand the cancer cells phenomenon when comparing it with the behavior of common microorganisms. Bacteria, for example, are divided into two main groups, aerobic and anaerobic, meaning, those that need to use oxygen and those that can live without it. This is important to understand since we have more bacteria in our body than we have cells. Aerobic bacteria thrive in an oxygenated environment. They are responsible for helping us with the digestion of food and manufacturing of important nutrients, such as B-vitamins. Anaerobic bacteria, on the other hand, can appear and thrive in an environment where oxygen does not reach. They break down waste materials, toxic deposits and dead, worn-out cells. The body sees the cancer as being such an important defense mechanism that it even causes the growth of new blood vessels to guarantee the much-needed supply of glucose and, therefore, survival and spreading of the cancer cells. It knows that cancer cells do not cause but, prevent death; at least for a while, until the wasting away of an organ leads to the demise of the entire organism. If the trigger mechanisms for cancer (causal factors) are properly taken care of, such an outcome can be avoided. It is commonly believed that our immune system protects us against cancer. However, this is only partially true. On the one hand, the immune system readily destroys the millions of cancer cells that a healthy human body produces as part of the daily turnover of 30 billion cells. On the other hand, the immune system takes no action to eradicate cancer cells that develop in response to a build up of toxins, congestion and emotional stress. Cancers and all other tissues in the body are larded with cancer-killing white cells, such as T-cells. In the case of kidney cancer and melanomas, for example, white cells make up 50 per cent of the mass of the cancers. Since these T-cells easily recognize foreign or mutated cell tissue such as cancer cells, you would expect these immune cells to attack cancer cells right away. However, the immune system allows cancer cells to recruit it to actually increase and spread the cancer to other parts of the body. Cancer cells produce specific proteins that tell the immune cells to leave them alone and help them to grow Why would the immune system want to collaborate with cancer cells to make more or larger tumors? Because cancer is a survival mechanism, not a disease. The body uses the cancer to keep deadly carcinogenic substances and caustic metabolic waste matter away from the lymph and blood and, therefore, from the heart, brain and other vital organs. Killing off cancer cells would in fact jeopardize its survival. Cleansing the body of accumulated toxins and waste products through the various cleansing methods advocated in my book Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation (www.ener-chi.com) removes the need for cancer. Cancer is not a disease; it is the final and most desperate survival mechanism the body has at its disposal. It only takes control of the body when all other measures of self-preservation have failed. To truly heal cancer and what it represents in a person's life we must come to the understanding that the reason the body allows some of its cells to grow in abnormal ways is in its best interest and not an indication that it is about to destroy itself. Cancer is a healing attempt by the body for the body. Blocking this healing attempt can destroy the body. Supporting the body in its healing efforts can save it. Andreas Moritz's book, Cancer is not a Disease - It's a Survival Mechanism, explains the root causes of cancer and how to eliminate them for good.

GREAT "Healthy" Bible Verses

Great "Healthy" Bible Verses!

Bible Quotes Exodus 15:26 I AM THE LORD THAT HEALS YOU Gen 1:29-30 And God said "See I have given you every herb bearing seed which is on the face of the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed: to you it shall be for food. Also to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food". And it was so. James 5:15 And the Prayer of Faith shall save the sick, and the LORD shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 1 Cor 1:27 God has cosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. Psalms 104:14 He causeth the grass to grow for cattle, and herbs for the use of man. Romans 14:2 For one believeth he may eat all things, anyone who is weak eateth herbs. Ezekial 47:12 And the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine Hosea 4:6 My People Perish through lack of knowledge
Bible Health Principles for an Abundant Life
11 z 30
2012-08-18 20:55
One of the most wonderful things about God is the fact that He cares for you! And whether you're rich, poor, black or white, educated or uneducated, God cares for you! He demonstrated His love and care on Calvary, and Jesus said in Matthew 7:11, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" While God has an inexpressible desire to see us saved out of this world, He also is interested in our lives here on earth. He desires us to have a good and abundant life! John 10:10, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." The devil wants to steal, kill, and destroy you. God wants you to have an abundant life! It's amazing that so many choose the devil's ways! God is interested not only in your salvation, but also your physical health! Third John 1:2, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." Just as your spiritual health is important, so is your physical. God promised His people that if they obeyed and followed His ways that they would have the blessings of health and life. Exodus 15:26, "And said, if thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee." Now in this promise, it's obvious that laws are involved. What you sow you reap! If a Christian and non-Christian run through a red light and are headed for a wreck, God will not suspend the law of motion to stop the Christian's car while the non-Christian has a wreck. We all must reap what we sow. There's no use in getting mad at God for allowing your new car to get all messed up if you ran a red light! Yet there are a lot of people today who will not follow God's laws of health, and then when they get sick and diseased, they blame God. People say, "Oh why is God allowing me to die of emphysema?" Yet they have smoked like a chimney for 30 years! That's not God's fault. God is reasonable. He says, "If you obey, you will prosper and have no disease." In Psalm 84:11 God says He will withhold "no good thing" from us. Let's illustrate it this way. When Mercedes-Benz makes a fine automobile they put it through hundreds of tests. And when all the results come in they publish it in a book called the Owner's Manual. This manual will tell you what oil and gasoline to use, and give you all the information needed to make your Mercedes run at peak performance. Let's imagine you own a fine 300 SD turbo diesel. One day as you drive along you decide you're going to put gas in instead of diesel--it's cheaper, you know, and a higher octane, 95 proof. So you fill it up and drive away. All of a sudden you notice the car has a fever, its temperature is up in the red, and it begins to backfire, get shaky, and after awhile it blows its head. You're stuck on the highway. Soon the car ambulance takes your Mercedes into the car hospital and there they operate on it. After being hung over a few days it comes out fixed, but weaker, and with a big bill to pay. The Mercedes mechanic informs you: "The Owners Manual says to use diesel, not regular gas. Read the book!" And friends, today, it's the same way. God has an owners manual. He made the human body and knows what makes it run. But the owners manual (the Bible) has been neglected, and our hospitals are full. Today we have more disease than ever. And now you know why.

When my friend Laura had leukemia (and other health issues) and I was going through my divorce she always had a smile, asked how I was doing and rarely talked about her own demons she was facing. It was such an encouragment to me because I thought "If she can go through that with a smile, I can get through my little non life threatening battle!" As I would compete in running events and a few triathalons, I would always think of her and it would make me run faster and harder and not give up even when it was hard and I didnt think I could make it- JUST LIKE SHE DID! I doubt she never knew, really knew, though I tried to thank her often , how much of an impact she made in my life by going through her battle with her health. I feel like it got me where I am today, on this sight , encouraging people like you to stay strong and fight a good fight and never give up! So find the things in your life you are grateful for this week, reflect on them and remember if you are alive today it is because God has a plan and purpose for your life! Happy thanksgiving to you and yours! Kristi Johnson (Member Advocate CancerVictors and Friends)

Positve Thoughts, Stress Reduction = Disease Free?

Thursday, November 13, 2008 @1:16:23 PM Many of the stresses we face in everyday life from jobs, marriages, kids and especially now a days financial worries can cause diseases in all forms in our bodies. Cancer as well as other diseases feed on stress! One of the first things I hear is for people facing various diseases is to eliminate the stress in our lives, and forgive others (and sometimes ourselves) first off. I rarely (but by the grace of God) have ever visited a physician, however in going through the hardest and most stressful time in my life during my divorce, I started getting colds and rashes on my hands and arms. I was fatigued and could get a 10 hours nights sleep and felt exhausted still. It wasn't until I started trusting God who shelters and feed the birds (and they never seem to worry) that I felt instantly better and could move past to a healthier life. God's Word, the Bible is living and applies today as it did thousands of years ago. Matthew 6:25 says" Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, what you will wear (A big issue for us ladies :-) ) Is not life more important then food and the body more impoirtant than clothes? Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store it away in barns, and yet there heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more valuable than they (YES!!) Who of you by worrying can add a single day to his life?" (well I doubt I have added any, maybe taken some away though) This verse encourages me so much and I hope it encourages you! So rid the stress from your life, give it over to God when it pays a visit and forgive others in the present and past. Cast your worries on God and He will strengthen you! I know, because I have experienced this first hand MANY MANY times. Think positive, one of the greast gifts besides Christ dying for our sins and his unfailing love and grace is that he gives us a new day to start over EVERY DAY. Move past the pains and hurts and start fresh each day! Please contact me anytime if you need encouragement!! kristi@cancervictors.net God Bless Your Day, Kristi Johnson 2 comments

You HAVE to read this!!!

Tuesday, September 30, 2008 @3:29:28 PM
As any other day in my life, I research the latest news and research regarding the cancer industry whether alternative or conventional treatments- Knowledge is power and I think knowing what is happening on both sides is of key importance. I ran across a Christina Applegate interview on Oprah Winfrey. What struck me like a mouse by a Mac truck, was not the story, her mother had breast cancer, her journey through mammograms (radiation exposure) Biopsy (disrupting the cancer and potentially causing spreading) or the fact that she purposely decided to get a double mastectomy (individuals own uneducated choice) but the following paragraphs from her onocologist: Christina's oncologist, Dr. Philomena McAndrew, an attending physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Dr. McAndrew explains the role that the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes play in breast cancer. The BRCA genes are genes that ordinarily help prevent breast and ovarian cancers. When someone tests positive for a BRCA gene mutation, it means there is a slight change in her BRCA gene that inhibits it from carrying out its job of prevention. If you happen to have a gene mutation, your chances of developing breast cancer are significantly greater. But that does not mean you will definitely develop the disease. "In people that have the BRCA gene mutation, the chance [in their] lifetime of getting breast cancer is up to 87 percent," Dr. McAndrew says. A simple blood test can determine if you carry a BRCA gene mutation. Dr. McAndrew recommends getting tested if you: Were diagnosed with breast cancer before you turned 50 Had ovarian cancer Had a male family member with breast cancer Had breast cancer in one breast and then again in the other breast Have lost family members to breast cancer before they turned 50 If you test positive for a BRCA gene mutation, Dr. McAndrew suggests three options for you to consider: Practice surveillancehave a mammogram and MRI every six months Preventative chemotherapy Preventative double mastectomy Is it just me or are you completely floored by this? So research shows MRI's radiate us and are unhealthy and there are better ways to see if we have cancer in our breasts. (thermal imaging which detects cancer better anyways) So now they suggest two MRI's A year! Lets radiate ourselves twice as much! PREVENTIVE CHEMO???? Are you kidding me? So now we want to destroy our immune systems even if we do not have cancer to prevent a potential but currently non exsistant cancer? What a money making, people killing scam for the Cancer Industry. Just when I think they can't sink lower. I'm totally appalled by this. Oh and I love this one......prevantively cut off your breasts just in case of potential cancer ...maybe???? Why not peel our skin off while we are at it in case we may get skin cancer, oh and hey doc, while you are in there take my prostate, lungs, liver, kidneys and heck why not my brain too..Why dont we become robots..yeah that sounds great sign me up!! Let's preventively kill ourselves is basically what they are telling us now a days. It just sickens me to no end! I invite you to join us in our fight for Health Freedom through this site..... in spreading the word and not letting your friends choose cancer therapies because they are popular but because they have researched and know about ALL their options. Check out the bookstore for GREAT books with plenty of research on alternative therapies! Kristi Add Comment

Great Quotes About Cancer Treatments

Thursday, September 11, 2008 @12:43:43 PM
If I contracted cancer, I would never go to a standard cancer treatment centre. Cancer victims who live far from such centres have a chance.Professor Georges Math, French cancer specialist ...as a chemist trained to interpret data, it is incomprehensible to me that physicians can ignore the clear evidence that chemotherapy does much, much more harm than good.Alan C Nixon, PhD, former president of the American Chemical Society As a retired physician, I can honestly say that unless you are in a serious accident, YOUR BEST CHANCE OF LIVING TO A RIPE OLD AGE IS TO AVOID DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS AND LEARN NUTRITION, HERBAL MEDICINE AND OTHER FORMS OF NATURAL MEDICINE. Almost all drugs are toxic and are designed only to treat symptoms and not to cure anyone. Most surgery is unnecessary. In short, our mainstream medical system is hopelessly inept and/or corrupt. THE TREATMENT OF CANCER AND DEGENERATIVE DISEASES IS A NATIONAL SCANDAL. The sooner you learn this, the better off you will be.Dr. Allan Greenberg on 12/24/2002 Stanford University doctors compared the effects of chemotherapy to doing nothing in patients with slow-growing tumors of the lymph nodes. The patients whose treatment was deferred for years did just as well as patients who immediately received expensive and unpleasant chemotherapy. Nineteen of the 83 (or 23%) experienced spontaneous remission lasting four months to six years. A review of the study in the New England Journal of Medicine concluded, "...deferring treatment ... may allow for spontaneous regression of the disease.""Cheating Fate," Health, April 6, 1992 Medical study shows: untreated patients live up to 4 times longer than those who received conventional cancer therapy "My studies have proved conclusively that cancer patients who refuse chemotherapy and radiation actually live up to FOUR TIMES LONGER THAN TREATED CASES...Beyond a shadow of a doubt, radical surgery on cancer does more harm than good...As for radiation treatment -- most of the time it makes not the slightest difference whether the machine is turned on or not. ...unfortunately, it seems to be only a question of time, usually, before the disease pops up again all over the body... Every cancer patient who keeps in excellent physical shape may have many good years left. The alternative is to squander those years as an invalid through radical medical intervention, which has zero chance of extending life. ...It's utter nonsense to claim that catching cancer symptoms early enough will increase the patient's chances of survival... Furthermore, untreated breast cancer cases show a life expectancy four times longer than treated ones. ~ My wife and I have discussed what she would do if breast cancer was diagnosed in her. And we both agreed that she would do nothing as regards to treatment, except to keep as healthy as possible. I guarantee she would live longer!"Dr. Hardin Jones, prominent cancer researcher & former physiology professor at the University of California Department of Medical Physics, who has been studying cancer for more than 23 years, travelling the world to collect data on the dreaded disease. Published in Transactions, New York Academy of Science, series 2, v.18, n.3, p. 322.Note: Please don't interpret this and similar statements to mean that someone who has opted to go part or all of the conventional route doesn't have a chance. I believe there always is an excellent chance for health and recovery as long as the person is really determined (on all levels) to recover (after all, some people even recover on the conventional road!). Chemotherapy and radiation can increase the risk of developing a second cancer by up to 100 times, according to Dr. Samuel S. Epstein. Congressional Record, Sept. 9, 1987e
Biopsies of breast/prostate:I was contacted by a lady who successfully dealt with her breast cancer from 1994 to present. She refused all conventional medical procedures. Last year her conventional oncologist convinced her that she was a fool not to get a needle biopsy. This lady now has new tumors growing at each puncture site. Of course her oncologist now has detailed information to help decide which chemos to use for this now rapidly metastasizing cancer. I repeatedly make this same observation with prostate cancer. I rarely see distant metastasis until after a biopsy -- and then it rapidly goes everywhere including the bones.Dr. Vincent Gammill, Center for the Study of Natural Oncology (CSNO) Solana Beach, California (non profit)
Mainstream doctors receive distorted information on alternative cancer treatments. Therefore, you cannot rely on mainstream doctors to recommend the correct cancer treatment. You must rely on yourself. If you can read ...[The Cancer Industry and World Without Cancer], you will most likely avoid: Being operated on to determine if your tumors are cancerous. The operation has a good chance of spreading cancer cells and is completely unnecessary because there is a urine test that is as reliable as a biopsy (source: World Without Cancer) and a blood test. Being radiated at, but radiation is usually just a delay tactic and the side effect of radiation is cancer (source: The Cancer Industry). Given chemo, which derails your immune system and wrecks your kidneys. If the cancer persists, and it usually does (World Without Cancer by Griffin), your body will require months of recovery before most alternative treatments can help. If you don't avoid the above course of action, you and your insurance company will spend about $200,000. Consider that one out of four people get cancer, do the math, and you will have a feel for the most significant aspect of the cancer industry: $$$.Paul Winter, Cancell Web Page Webmaster (more at links) Of every 1,000 American women getting mammograms each year between the ages of 40 and 50, 345 will receive false positive results, often with unnecessary intervention as the result.New England Journal of Medicine, Feb. 11, 1993 I think we can take for granted that there cannot be true honesty from providers of conventional cancer treatment. After all, how many would accept these treatments if they had all the facts?L. P. who after experiencing the shock, trauma & disfigurement resulting from quackery at its cruelest considers conventional cancer treatment an evil industry Chemotherapy and radiation do not make the body well. They destroy, they do not heal. The hope of the doctor is that the cancer will be destroyed without destroying the entire patient. These therapies do kill cancer cells, but they kill a lot of good cells too including the cells of the immune system, the very system that one NEEDS to get well. If a cancer patient survives the treatment with enough immune system left intact, the patient may appear to get well at least temporarily, but he will have sustained major damage to his body and his immune system. How much better it is to nourish the immune system directly by the use of natural therapies to assist it in getting you well instead of destroying it by the use of these therapies. Then the immune system itself can kill the cancer cells without any side effects and heal your body at the same time.Loraine Day, M.D. one of those women who cured themselves of breast cancer naturally I don't trust any doctor anymore.Vanessa T., my best friend's mother and the inspiration for this website, the last time I spoke to her on the phone a few months before she died in October 2003 after undergoing 2 years of conventional cancer treatment for colon cancer which later metastasized to the liver. Her treatment included original surgery, renewed surgery (something was botched up the first time) followed by rounds of chemo, then a new

experimental chemo and finally hospice, and of course her oncologist's initial stentorian pronouncement: "I GIVE YOU TWO YEARS." Contrast this with Hope for Colon Cancer Patients: Cure Testimonial: Terminal Cancer Healed In Record Time Via Complete Budwig Protocol, Gerson Fresh Juice Diet & Therapy: Colon Cancer Healing Testimonial and Raw Food Colon Cancer Healing Testimonial.
Doctors are too busy to dig into the statistics of cancer treatments, they assume that what they are taught at school or what is demonstrated in the pages of briefing journals is the best treatment. They cannot afford to suspect that these treatments are only the best for the pharmaceutical companies that influence their 'institutions of higher learning'.Paul Winter, The Cancell Home Page The five year survival rates for the major cancers are: stomach - 5%, trachea, bronchus and lung - 5%, breast 50%, oesophagus - 5%, large intestine - 22%, pancreas - 4%, liver - 2% ... attacking the tumour with the slash/burn/poison version of cancer therapy, and then pronouncing "cured" after the five year survival period has elapsed, has, of course, nothing remotely to do with the successful treatment of the disease. Patients who die from the effects of chemo or radio "therapy" after more than five years have passed are counted as cured. Being dead or dying does not exclude one from the figures of the cancer industry's creative statisticians.British Anti-Vivisection Association Over 75% of the oncologists polled said that if they had cancer they would never use the same chemotherapy they prescribe for their patients on themselves because of the ineffectiveness of chemotherapy and its unacceptable degree of toxicity.Los Angeles Times report [O]ne of the most important things I have ever heard was said to me by an oncological nurse. She was a member of an adult college class I was taking in 1989. When she found out I'd been diagnosed with cancer [and] was entering into treatment for lymphoma, she took it upon herself to say to me, unbidden and unasked, "Elliot, YOU have GOT to TAKE CONTROL of YOUR OWN treatment, or THE DOCTORS WILL TURN YOU INTO A PIECE OF MEAT." Truer words were never spoken! Because that nurse had thought it important enough to say that to me without my ever asking, I took what she said very much to heart, and I know her words saved me a great deal of grief!E. Yudenfriend who cured hs. of lymphoma, consid. incurable by mainstream medicine Cancer patients suffer from a faulty metabolism caused by a malfunction in the lipid defense system. By repairing the lipid defense system the cancer cannot survive. Of course common chemo and radiation causes further harm to the lipid defense system -- the very system that protects you from cancer! The folks who will READILY ADMIT that they don't understand the cancer mechanism will tell you with their next breath that cancer can be killed with poisons. So can you. Would you trust your car to a so-called mechanic who didn't understand what makes a car work properly? If not, why would you let someone who doesn't understand cancer "fix" your body? The average cancer docs don't know -- they admit it. That doesn't make them bad people, it just makes them unqualified to treat your condition if you have cancer. Don't let unqualified people poison you just because they don't know what else to do. William Kelley Eidem, author of "The Doctor Who Cures Cancer (Dr Revici) Always shove aside the words 'Tumor Response' because it is not the factor we need to see. What we need is 'survivability' and that is what you seek but must often read between the lines of medical literature to find what the odds are.Anonymous
Compare Statistics, Quote from Philip Binzel MD and Lothar Hirneise on the role of tumors as toxin reservoir
Almost every patient treated with IL2 (a current conventional cancer treatment) suffered fever, malaise, nausea or vomiting, diarrhoea, sharp drops in blood pressure, skin rashes, breathing difficulties, liver abnormalities and irregularities in blood chemistry. Rosenberg himself details a number of horrifying case histories, and one in particular where the administration of IL2 had precipitated amongst other things, vomiting, swollen joints, lung fluid and 'vascular leak syndrome' where blood would ooze through the vessel walls and collect under the skin.Steven Rosenberg, The Transformed Cell, 1992. (IL2 is still used today.) "What you must understand, Mr. Gearin-Tosh, is that we know so little about how the body works."Sir David Weatherall, Regius professor of medicine at Oxford University and head of the Institute of Molecular Medicine, to a Stanford University professor who healed himself of one of the most lethal cancers known using natural means. The Medical Monopoly The field of U.S. cancer care is organized around a medical monopoly that ensures a continuous flow of money to the pharmaceutical companies, medical technology firms, research institutes, and government agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and quasi-public organizations such as the American Cancer Society (ACS). Ralph Moss, Ph.D., quoted by John Diamond, M.D., & Lee Cowden, M.D. in Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide to Cancer
A respected cancer specialist trying to persuade the author to take chemotherapy treatment writes him a warm and friendly letter. In it, he casually remarks: "I am sorry I forgot to mention to you that the best way of administering this chemotherapy is through a Hickman line which can be placed into one of the big veins, and tunneled out under the skin of your chest wall. This then stays in place for the duration of your treatment." Gearin-Tosh comments, "His phrase 'I forgot to mention' makes me paranoid about gradual disclosure, about bad news dripping out. Will there be more? And I saw a Hickman line at the Marsden (hospital): a patient's shirt was open and a rubber tube hung from his chest ... I decline the treatment." Gearin-Tosh's description of the de-constructive interpretation he puts to the carefully calibrated soothing language aimed to coax him into a regime of chemotherapy while hiding its horrors and ultimate hopelessness is worth the price of the book itself. It is a stunning demonstration of why all values and qualities in any society, including technological progress and the struggle to maintain social justice and human liberty, ultimately depend on the honest and accurate use of language. "In the beginning was the Word." And without it there is no salvation. And no physical cure or relief either.Martin Sieff reviewing "Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny," by Michael Gearin-Tosh, who cured himself of a normally deadly form of cancer (0.005 % 3-year survival chance) [C]hemotherapy is basically ineffective in the vast majority of cases in which it is givenRalph Moss, PhD, prominent cancer researcher PROSTATE CANCER is one of the worst areas of chemotherapy abuse, according to Norman Zinner, MD. He states:"Most men with prostate cancer will die from other illnesses never knowing they had the problem."...There are no randomized clinical trials proving that chemotherapy for prostate cancer increases long term survival. Au contraire, a 1992 study published in JAMA demonstrated that there was no difference in 10 year survival rate between the men who did nothing at all and those who had treatment.

Guess which system is the most important to you at this time, more than it's ever been before in your whole life. Right - the immune system. Guess which system suffers most from chemotherapy and radiation. Right again. A 1992 study in Journal of the American Medical Association of 223 patients concluded that no treatment at all for prostate cancer actually was better than any standard chemotherapy, radiation or surgical procedure. (Johansson)Tim O'Shea in TO THE CANCER PATIENT Many surgeons abandoned the mastectomy, yet in the USA over 1,000 women per week are persuaded to part with their breast, underlying muscles and lymph nodes, but the scalpel spivs omit to tell the victims that the average survival period is around twelve years without the mutilation and three years with it. Prof. H.B. Jones, Dept of Medical Physics and Physiology, University of California, in an address to the American Cancer Society in 1975 If the reader agrees with nothing I have said so far, but has less than 100% confidence in the hospital's ability to cure your cancer, get behind this: follow none of my recommendations. Do nothing: no doctors, no treatment, mainstream or holistic. Go home and live your life. For the majority of cancers, no one can tell you with any authority that you are doing anything "high risk." To the contrary, doctors have known since 1975 that survival rate with no treatment at all is higher than survival rates with standard chemo/radiation/ surgery. (Lancet, 1975) Tim O'Shea in TO THE CANCER PATIENT If you actually do the research ... it is virtually impossible not to arrive at a similar conclusion: that mainstream cancer treatment is rarely effective and exists primarily for the benefit of the cancer industry itself, not you. If you go along with their program, it is likely that at some point you will learn the truth of this reality. For most, that point comes too late. If you suspect there may be some validity to what I'm saying, you owe it to yourself to investigate it thoroughly on your own before you submit to even the mildest of chemotherapies. I promise, you will be no match for the masterful stairstepping of procedures and testing that awaits you, dangling little improvements with enticements to try this or that drug because "It's really not that toxic" or the standard "now this won't cure your cancer, but it will slow it down," or the Oscar-winning "it's OK to take some of your herbs or natural products along with the chemotherapy/radiation/surgery. They won't interfere." Oncologists are getting increasingly sophisticated at tricking the frightened, uninformed patient and his family into accepting the standard worthless drugs and surgical procedures. One of the newest ploys is telling the patient that "we have something special for you, an experimental drug, just developed." This one is used with patients who are beginning to question the toxicity of chemo and need a little extra hope. Then they find out later that the drug was not new at all, but was one of the standard poisons, like methyltrexate, that has been around for the past 25 years. By then it's too late, because the patient is so debilitated he'll do anything the doctor says.Tim O'Shea in TO THE CANCER PATIENT
WHO'S WINNING?We're constantly being hit with media stories about "progress" in the war on cancer and new "breakthrough" drugs and procedures being "right around the corner." The military rhetoric hasn't changed since 1971. Is it true that we're winning the war against cancer like they're always telling us? From the U.S. government's own statistical abstracts we find the real story: Mortality from Cancer in the U.S.year --- deaths/ 100,000
1967--- 157.2 1970--- 162.9 1982--- 187.3 1987--- 198.2 1988--- 198.4 1989--- 201.0 1990--- 203.2 1991--- 204.1 1992--- 204.1 source: Vital Statistics of the United States vol.II 1967-19921992 is the last year for which data is currently
available from Vital Statistics. There is nothing to indicate that there should be any downturn between 1992 and the present. In fact, independent analysis by the CA Journal for Cancer Clinicians, Jan 97, put the 1993 death rate at 220 per 100,000. Does that sound like progress? Why does nobody know this? Bet you never saw this chart before. Numbers can be twisted and made to do tricks. This chart is the raw data, not age adjusted or divided by race, or type of cancer. Anyone can dig this information up by going to any library reference section. But try finding a medical reference or journal article or a URL that uses this chart. Try finding a newspaper or magazine article in the last 15 years that uses the raw data. And this data says one thing: more people are dying of cancer now per capita than ever before, and nothing is slowing the increase. Not early detection, not better screenings, not new high tech machines, not radiation, not surgery, and definitely not chemotherapy. Backtracking a little, in 1900 cancer was practically unheard of in this country. By 1950, there were about 150 cases of cancer per 100,000 population. In 1971, Nixon introduced the War on Cancer, opening the floodgates of massive research funding backed by the government. This situation escalated until by the 1980s, over $50 billion per year was being spent to "find the cure." And yet we have the plain data in the chart above. What is going on?Tim O'Shea in TO THE CANCER PATIENT It's not the results of the "bone scans" or "CTs" which are of crucial importance ... but whether the cancer can be gotten under control or not. While many of the test methods used by us physicians are certainly scientific, they say nothing about the patient's state of health. Dr. Budwig's approach is not a method of healing cancer but a technique which strengthens the body's own immune defence against cancerous cells.Dr Armin Grunewald, MD, nephew of Dr. Budwig, who uses her approach in his office Cutting away every and all cells thought to be cancerous, in order to "prevent metastases", as done today, is both unnecessary and maiming. Either way, the canceration will continue in the area, since the conflict is still unresolved, so it's important to focus entirely on conflict solution afterwards - something conventional medicine doesn't care about...A. Stahel in My Interpretation of New Medicine: A Revolutionary Biological Paradigm I am providing [links to breast implant and tissue flap sites] in the hopes of lifting a veil of illusion that exists about Allopathic Medicine. People believe that doctors are good and that they would not harm their patients. People also believe that surgery and drugs heal cancer. They believe that women are grateful to have their breasts cut off and reconstructed with breast implants or tissue flaps.Pam Young, crippled by conventional cancer treatmentBarbara Ann Brennan in her book Hands of Light Drugs affect the aura a great deal. I have seen dark energy forms in the liver left from drugs taken for various previous diseases. Hepatitis leaves an orange-yellow color in the liver years after the disease is supposedly cured. I have seen the radiopaque dye used to observe the spine that was injected into the spinal column to diagnose injury ten years after injection although it is supposed to be cleared by the body in a month or two. Chemotherapy clogs the whole auric field but especially the liver, with greenish-brown mucus-like energy. Radiation therapy frays the

structured layers of the auric field like a burned nylon stocking. Surgery causes scars in the first layer of the field and sometimes all the way to the seventh layer. These scars, disfigurations and clogs can be healed by helping the physical body heal itself; if they are left distorted, the physical body will have a much more difficult time healing itself. When an organ is removed, the etheric organ can still be reconstructed and serve to keep harmony in the auric bodies above the physical body. I would imagine that someday, with more knowledge of the auric field and biochemistry, we may be able to cause organs that have been removed to grow again.Ex-NASA physicist I can't imagine going to see a "doctor". I've seen them. They were terrifying and useless and all they did really was light up with joy and anticipation for yet another country club membership when they diagnosed me and gave me various lengths of time to live, as if they were theater critics predicting the run of a play. The first one I saw, a year ago, gave me until dinner time the same day to live and suggested immediate chemotherapy, so that maybe I could live until brunch the next day. It turned out that the diagnosis( liver cancer) was wrong and it was suggested by a very big deal rotcod (which is doctor spelled backwards) that I have s ome sort of neuroendocrine tumours reacting on the liver and I should start chemotherapy, at once. Well, even rotcods agree that livers despise being burned and slashed. In fact every organ despises being burned and slashed and since that's the only recourse that rotcods possess why on earth should one consult one? I find the atmosphere of all the sanctified white and the self-importance depressing.H.D., March 2008

Interesting ...Very Interesting!! (Laetrile study)

Sunday, August 10, 2008 @1:38:30 PM from World Without Cancer by Edward Griffin
Examples of dishonesty and corruption in the field of drug research; a close look at the first major study which declared Laetrile) vitamin B-17) of no value; proof that the study was fraudulent; the FDAs ruling against the use of Laetrile because it had not been tested; and the refusal then to allow anyone (except its opponents) to test it.
This year 550,000 Americans will die from cancer. One out of three of us will develop cancer in our lifetime. That is eighty-eight million people in the United States alone. The purpose of this study is to show that this great human tragedy can be stopped now entirely on the basis of existing scientific knowledge. We will explore the theory that cancer, like scurvy or pellagra, is a deficiency disease aggravated by the lack of an essential food compounds in modern mans diet, and that its ultimate control is to be found simply in restoring this substance to our daily intake.

What you are about to read does not carry the approval of organized medicine. The Food and Drug Administration, the American Cancer Society, and the American Medical Association have labelled it fraud and quackery. In fact, the FDA and other agencies of government have used every means at their disposal to prevent this story from being told. They have arrested citizens for holding public meetings to tell others of their convictions on this subject. They have confiscated films and books. They even have prosecuted doctors who apply these theories in an effort to save the lives of their
own patients.
The attitude of Big Brother, expressed bluntly in 1971 by Grant Leake, Chief of the fraud section of Californias food and drug bureau, is this: Were going to protect them even if some of them dont want protection. [1] [8] Early in 1974, the California medical board brought formal charges against Stewart M. Jones, M.D., for using laetrile in the treatment of cancer patients. It was learned later, however, that Dr. Julius Levine, one of the members of that board, himself had been using Laetrile in the treatment of his own cancer. When Dr. Jones case came up for review, the political pressures were so great that Dr. Levine felt compelled to resign from his post rather than come out openly in support of Dr. Jones and his patients. [2] This is happening in a land which boasts of freedom and whose symbol is the Statue of Liberty. For the first time in our history, people are being forced to fell from our shores as medical emigrants seeking freedom-of choice and sovereignty over their own bodies. Laetrile has been available in Australia, Brazil, Belgium, Costa Rica, England, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Spain, Switzerland, Russia, Venezuela, and Vietnam-but it is not allowed in the land of the free In spite of this, however, many doctors have defied the bureaucracy and have proved in ther own clinics that vitamin-deficiency concepts of cancer is valid. With billions of dollars spent each year in research, with additional billions taken in from the cancer-related sale of drugs, and with vote-hungry politicians promising ever-increasing government programs, we find that, today, there are more people making a living from cancer than dying from it. If the riddle were to be solved be a simple vitamin, this gigantic commercial and political industry could be wiped out overnight. The result is that the science of cancer therapy is not nearly as complicated as the politics of cancer therapy. If there was any good that came from the Watergate scandals of the Seventies, it as the public awakening to the reality that government officials sometimes do not tell the truth. And when caught in such mendacities, they invariably claim that they lied only to protect national security, public health, or some other equally noble objective. This Watergate syndrome is not new. Several years ago, an FDA agent who had testified in court against a Kansas City businessman admitted under cross-examination that he had lied under oath twenty-eight times. When asked if he regretted what he had done, he replied: No. I dont have any regrets. I wouldnt hesitate to tell a lie if it would help the American consumer. [3] The FDA is not squeamish over its tactics to help the American consumer. When a businessman falls into disfavor with the bureaucracy, there are no holds barred, and the law is used, not as a reason for attack, but as a weapon of attack. In other words, the FDA does not take action because the law says it should. It does so because it wants to, and then searches through the law for an excuse. In the celebrated case of U.S. vs Dextra Fortified Sugar, for example, the FDA had ruled that it was misbranding to fortify sugar with vitamis and minerals and still call it sugar. But the court ruled otherwise, pointing out: The basic flaw in the governments case is that it is seeking, under the guise of misbranding charges, to prohibit the sale of a food in the market place simply because it is not in sympathy with its use. Usually there is much more going on in these cases than over-zealousness on the part of a few bureaucrats. Pretending to protect the public is the favorite cover for hidden agendas. Legislation claiming to protect the consumer usually is written by representatives of the very industries from which the consumer supposedly is to be protected. Politicians who are grateful for the financial support of those industries are eager to put their names on the legislation and push for its enactment. Once it becomes law, it serves merely to protect the sponsoring industries against competition. The consumer is the victim, not the beneficiary. This is just as true in the field of medicine as in any other. In medicine, however, there is the added necessity to pretend that everything is being done scientifically. Therefore, in addition to recruiting the aid of politicians, scientists also must be enlisted- a feat that is easily accomplished by the judicious allocation of funding for research. This reality was revealed by former FDA Commissioner, James L. Goddard in a 1966 speech before the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association. Expressing concern over dishonesty in the testing for new drugs, he said: I have been shocked at the materials that come in. In addition to the problem of quality, there is the problem of dishonesty in the investigational new drug usage. I will admit there are grey areas in the IND [Investigation of New Drug] situation, but the conscious withholding of unfavorable animal clinical data is not a grey matter. The deliberate choice of clinical investigators know to be more concerned about industry friendships than in developing good data is not a grey matter.[4]

Goddards successor at the FDA was Dr. Herbert Ley. In 1969, he testified before a Senate committee and described several cases of blatant dishonesty in drug testing. One case involved an assistant professor of medicine who had tested 24 drugs for 9 different companies. Dr. Ley said: Patients who died while on clinical trials were not reported to the sponsorDead people were listed as subjects of testing. People reported as subjects of testing were not in the hospital at the time of tests. Patient consent forms bore dates indicating they were signed after the subjects died. [5] Another case involved a commercial drug-testing firm that had worked on 82 drugs from 28 companies. Dr Ley continued: Patients who died, left the hospital, or dropped out of the study were replaced by other patients in the tests without notification in the records. Forty-one patients reported as participating in studies keeping, supervision and observation of patients in general were grossly inadequate. [6] Between 1977 and 1980, it was discovered that 62 doctors had submitted clinical data to the FDA which was manipulated or completely falsified.[7] In one study conducted by the FDA itself, it was discovered that one in every five doctors investigated- doctors researching the effects of new drugs-had invented the data they reported and pocketed the fees. These are not unusual or isolated cases. John Braithwaite, a criminologist at the Australian Institute of Criminology (and also former Commissioner of Trade Practices in Austrailia), states: The problem is that most fraud in clinical trials is unlikely to even be detected. Most cases which do come to public attention only do so because of the extraordinary carelessness by the criminal physician.[9] According to Dr. Judith Jones, former Director of the Division of Drug Experience at the FDA, if a research facility obtains results that do not demonstrate the safety or effectiveness of a drug, it is not uncommon for the drug company to bury the report and continue testing elsewhere until they find a facility that gives them the results they want. Unfavorable reports are rarely published, and clinicians are pressured into keeping quiet about them.[10] The incentive for clinical investigators to fabricate data is enormous. American drug companies pay as much as $1,000 per patient, which enables some doctors to collect over $1 million per year from drug research-all the easier if the treatments are imaginary. Even if the tests are not fabricated, there is still the effect of subconscious bias. These doctors know that, if they dont produce the results the drug companies are seeking, the likelihood of their receiving future work is greatly diminished. The commercially operated testing facilities should become corrupted by money is not hard to imagine. But it is often assumed that university laboratories are different, that they are immune to the profits that flow from criminal science. The truth, however, is that money speaks just as loudly on campus as it does elsewhere. Referring to a survey conducted by the FDA, Dr. Braithwaite explains:r. Ivy had been widely acknowledged as one of the nations foremost medical specialists. As head of the University of Illinois the graduate degrees of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Master of Science (M.S.). He was an American Representative at the Nuremberg trials after World War II in Germany. The American representative at the Nuremberg trials after World War II in Germany. The American Medical Association had awarded him bronze, silver, and gold medels in recognition of his outstanding work in the field of medicine. He had written over a thousand articles published in scientific and medial journals. In fact, the FDA itself often had called upon him as an expert to offer medical testimony in court. But when he began to use an unorthodox approach to cancer therapy, overnight he was branded as a quack.Others have run up against the same stone wall. Professional researcher, David Martin, reported this experience: As one would predict from the foregoing discussion of how contract labs can be used by sponsors to abrogate responsibility for quality research , contract labs were found to have a worse record of GLP [Good Laboratory Practices] violations that sponsor labs. The worst record of all, however, was with university laboratories. One must be extremely cautious about this finding since there were only five university laboratories in the study. Nevertheless, it must undermine any automatic assumption that university researchers, with their supposed detachment from the profit motive, are unlikely to cut corners on research standards.[9] Lets bring this into focus on the issue of cancer. Science can be used, not only to push drugs into the market that do not work, but also to hold back remedies that do-because these remedies represent potential competition to pharmaceutical industry which controls the drug-approving process. The controversy that once surrounded Dr. Andrew Ivys anti-cancer drug known as Krebiozen is an example of this phenomenon. Prior to crossing swords with the FDA in the early 1960s, D During the course of Dr. Ivys trial, a letter was read into the court record written by a doctor from Indianapolis. The doctor stated in his letter that he was treating a patient who had multiple tumors, and that a biopsy of the tissue had shown these tumors to be cancerous. The doctor said that he had obtained Krebiozen from Dr.Ivys laboratories and had administered it, but that it had done absolutely no good. When called to the witness stand, however, the doctors answers were vague and evasive. Under the
20 z 30
2012-08-18 20:55
pressure of cross-examination, he finally broke down and admitted that he never had treated such a patient, never had ordered the biopsy in question, and never had used Krebiozen even once. The whole story had been a lie. Why did he give false testimony? His reply was that one of the FDA agents had written the letter and asked him to sign it. He did so because he wanted to help the agency put an end to quackery. [12] In September of 1963, the FDA released a report to the effect that Krebiozen was, for all practical purposes, the same as creatine, a common substance that was found in every hamburger. To prove this point, they produced a photographic overlay supposedly showing the spectograms of Krebiozen and creatine superimposed over each other. These were published in Life magazine and other segments of the mass communications media as unimpeachable proof that Krebiozen was useless. When Senator Paul Douglas saw the spectrograms, he was suspicious. So he asked Dr. Scott Anderson, one of the nations foremost authorities on spectograms, to make his own study. Using standard techniques of analysis, Dr. Anderson identified twenty-nine differences between the two substances. There were sixteen chemical and color differences. The version released to the press by the FDA had been carefully moved off center until there was a maximum appearance of similarity, but when restored to the true axis, the two were as different as night and day.[13] The tactics used against Laetrile are even more dishonest than those against Krebiozen. Perhaps the most damaging of them has been a pseudo-scientific report released in 1953 by the Cancer Commission of the California Medical Association. Published in the April issue of California Medicine, the report presented an impressive collection of charts and technical data indicating that exhaustive research had been carried out into every aspect of Laetrile. Its molecular Composition had been analyzed, its chemical action studied, its effect on tumor-bearing rats observed, and its effectiveness on human cancer patients determined. The stern conclusion of all the supposedly objective research was stated: No satisfactory evidence has been produced to indicate any significant cytotoxic effect of Laetrile on the cancer cell. The conclusions of the California Report are sufficient for most physicians and researchers. Not one in ten thousand has ever even seen Laetrile, much less used it. Yet, they all know that Laetrile does now work because the California branch of the AMA Cancer Commission said so, and they have had no reason so question the reliability of those who did the work. Reporter Tom Valentine interviewed many leading cancer specialists to determine what they thought about Laetrile. Here he describes a typical reaction: Dr. Edwin Mirand of Roswell Memorial Hospital in Buffalo, N.Y. said: Weve looked into it and found it has no value. When asked if the renowned little hospital, which deals only with cancer, actually tested Laetrile, Dr. Mirand said, No, we didnt feel it was necessary after others of good reputation had tested it and found had no effectiveness in the treatment of cancer. He referred, as all authorities do, to the California Report.[15]
The cancer expert in question, as I had anticipated, told me that Laetrile was sugar pills. Had he told me that he had used Laetrile experimentally on X number of patients and found it completely ineffective, I might have been impressed. But when I asked him whether he had ever used it himself, he said that he had not. When I asked him whether he had ever travelled abroad to study the experience with Laetrile therapy in Germany, Italy , Mexico, the Philippines, or other countries, her replied that he had not. And when I asked him if he had ever made a first-hand study of the pros and cons of the subject, again he conceded that he had not. He was simply repeating what he had heard from others who, in turn , were probably repeating what they had heard from others, going all the way back to the antiquated 1953 report of the California Cancer Commission. [16] It is important, therefore, to know something of the nature of the California Report and of the scientific integrity of those who drafted it. Although the report as published in California Medicine was unsigned, it was written by Dr. Ian MacDonaldm, Chairman of the Commission, and Dr. Henty Garland, Secretary. Dr. MacDonald was a prominent cancer surgeon, and Dr. Garland was an internationally famous radiologist. Both were listed in Whos Who. There were even seven other prominent physicians on the commission-including four more surgeons, another radiologist, and a pathologist-but they played no major part in the preparation of the report. Not one of these men-not even MacDonald or Garaland-had ever used Laetrile in the first-hand experiments of their own. All they had done was to make evaluations and summaries of the written records of others. Before examining those evaluations and summaries, let us first recall that MacDonald and Garland were the two physicians who had made national headlines claiming that there was no connection between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. In an address before the Public Health Section of the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco on July 9, 1964, Dr. Garland had said:
A current widely held hypothesis is that cigarette smoking is causally related to a vast number of different diseases, ranging from cancer to coronary arteriosclerosis. After studying the question for several years, notably in its reported relationship to primary bronchial cancer, it is my considered opinion that the hypothesis is not proven. Cigarettes in moderation are regarded by many as one of the better tranquilizers. It is likely that obesity is a greater hazard to American health than cigarettes.
Dr. MacDonald was even more emphatic. In an article in U.S. News & World Report, he was shown with a cigarette in his hand, and is quoted as saying that smoking is a harmless pastime up to twenty-four cigarettes per day. And then he added: One could modify an old slogan: A pack a day keeps lung cancer away.[17] It is a curious fact that it was precisely at this time that cigarette manufacturers were beginning to experience

a slump in sales because of public concern over lung cancer. In fact, tobacco industry had already pledged the first ten-million dollars out of a total of eighteen million to the AMA for research into the question of smoking and health. The effect of this veritable flood of money from a source with, shall we say, a vested interest in the outcome of the research, was incredible and did not speak well for the AMA. The result was the conversion of a relatively simple, straight-forward project into a monstrous boondoggle of confusion and waste. In the report of the AMAs Committee for Research on Tobacco and Health, it says: To date, approximately $14 million has been awarded [from the tobacco industry] to 203 individual research projects at 90 universities and institutions. As a direct result of these grants, 450 reports have been published in scientific journals and periodicals.[18] The report then listed the research projects and described their purposes. Here are just a few: Nicotine Receptors in Identified Cells of the Snail Brain. The Effects of Nicotine on Behavior of Mice. Angina Pectoris and Bronchitis in Relation to Smoking A Study in American and Swedish Twin Roosters. Post Maturity Syndrome in the Pregnant Rat After Nicotine Absorption During Pregnancy. Interactions of Nicotine, Caffeine and Alcohol in Squirrel Monkeys. The Effect of Smoking in Placental Oxygen Transfer in Gravid Ewes. Urinary Excretion, Tissue Distribution and Destruction of Nicotine in Monkey and Dog. Body Build and Mortality in 105,000 World War II Army Verterans. Upon going through the back reports of the AMAs Committee for Research on Tobacco and Health, one is able to count but five research projects that are primarily concerned with cancer. One of those dealt with laboratory-testing procedures only, and another was an experiment to see if tobacco smoke could be used to cure cancer of the skin! So only three of these projects really dealt with the area of major public concern. Three out of two hundred and three is only about one-and-a-half percent which tells us something about the AMAs scientific integrity on the subject of smoking and cancer. With the expenditure of a mere eighteen-million dollars which is small, indeed, compared to the tobacco industrys advertising budges over the same period it was possible to direct the AMAs medical research away from the important question of cancer and into a hundred giddy questions that served only to confuse and delay the ultimate truth. Dazzled by the meteor shower of thousand-dollar bills, the AMA, in its December 1959 issue of the American Medical Association Journal, published an editorial stating flatly that there was insufficient evidence to warrant the assumption that cigarette smoking was the principal factor in the increase of lung cancer. Furthermore, through its gargantuan research program, the AMA was making it increasingly difficult to obtain that evidence. Was there any connection between the eighteen-million dollars given to the AMA from the tobacco industry and the public pronouncements of MacDonald and Garland, two of its most prominent members in California? Perhaps not, although it has been rumored that these gentlemen of science actually did receive $50,000 for their testimonials.[19] Whether or not this is true is not important now. What is important is the fact that their medical opinion, if it had been widely followed, clearly would have resulted in the suffering and death of untold additional millions. Also important is the fact that these are the same experts whose medical opinion has been widely quoted and followed in the question of Laetrile. An interesting footnote to this subject is the fact that Dr. MacDonald was burned to death in bed a few years later in a fire started by his cigarette. Dr. Garland, who had boasted of chain-smoking since early childhood and who claimed to be living proof that cigarettes are harmless, a few years later died of lung cancer. In 1963, ten years after publication of the original California Report, the California State Department of Health officially decreed that he findings of the antiquated study were true and adopted them as its own. When it did so, however, it performed an unexpected favor for the public because it published for the first time all the original experiments and studies upon which the report had been based and, in doing so, it made available the documentary evidence proving that MacDonald and Garland had falsified their summary of those experiments.

In the 1953 report, the authors published the conclusions of John W. Mehl, M.D., to the effect that cyanide could not be released from Laetrile. As will be explained in a later chapter, the release of cyanide at the cancer cell is part of the reason that Laetrile works. Therefore, imlpying that cyanide cannot be produced was a severe blow to the credibility of Laetrile theory. Dr. Mehl was quoted as saying: These results are inconclusive, and will be extended, but they do not support the claims made for Laetrile. With the publication of the original experiments ten years later, however, quite a different story emerged. Buried in a maze of statistics, tables, and charts can be found an item labeled Laetrile Report Appendix 4. It is a laboratory report signed by G. Schroetenboer and W. Wolman. It states: After refluxing for three hours, the odor of hydrogen cyanide could be detected The hydrogen cyanide was distilled into sodium hydroxide and determined by the Prussian Blue technique.[20] This report was dated January 14, 1953 two months before Dr. Mehl claimed that cyanide could not be released from Laetrile. It is significant, therefore, that MacDonald and Garland completely ignored the positive report while giving prominence to the negative one. Since that time, the release of cyanide from Laetrile has been confirmed by the AMAs chemical lab, by the cytochemistry section of the National Cancer Institute, and even by the California Department of Public Health that then officially pronounced the original report to be true and adopted it as its own. Another claim made by Drs. MacDonald and Garland was that microscopic examinations of tumors from patients who had been treated with Laetrile showed absolutely no indication of favorable chemical effect. Ten years later, however, this assertion was shown to be a bald-faced lie. Appendix Three contains the findings of two pathologists who stated in plain English that they did observe anti-tumor effects which, indeed, could have been caused by the Laetrile. In a statement dated December 15, 1952, for example, John W. Budd, M.D., reported: Case 1M. Hemorrhagic necrosis of tumor is extensive. An interpretation of chemotherapeutic effect might be entertained. Also an autopsy report by J.L. Zundell, dated September 10, 1952, discusses two clear cases of observed anti-tumor effect. It states: M-1. This might represent a chemical effect since the cells affected show coagulation necrosis and pyknosis. M-3. There appears to be more degeneration in the tumor cells in the lymph node. I would consider this as a possible result of chemical agent. Two cases. Showed moderated changes which might be considered as chemotherapeutic toxic cellular changes.[21] Nothing could be more plain than that. Nevertheless, MacDonald and Garland stated flatly in the California Report: No evidence of cytotoxic changes was observed by any of the consultants. [22] That statement, of course, was a lie of gigantic proportions. Even if the findings of these researchers had not been falsely summarized by MacDonald and Garland, the 1953 California Report still would have been totally useless as a scientific verdict against Laetrile because the strength of the doses used on cancer patients was too weak to prove anything. In fact, it was about one-fiftieth (1/50) of what generally is used to obtain optimum results. In the earlier days of Laetrile research, clinicians cautiously administered only fifty to one-hundred milligrams at a time. Gaining confidence with experience, these levels gradually were raised until, by 1974, Laetrile was being used intravenously at levels of six to nine thousand milligrams daily. Generally, it takes an accumulation of fifty to seventy thousand milligrams over a period of about a week or ten days before the patient can report tangible indications of improvement. But in the experiments used for the California Report, the typical dose given was only about fifty milligrams per infection. The maximum single dose was less than two hundred milligrams, and the maximum accumulative dose was only two thousand milligrams spread over twelve injections. Five patients received only two infections, and five received only one. It is not surprising, therefore, that the California experiments failed to produce conclusive evidence Laetrile was effective against cancer. As Dr. Krebs observed at the time, There is nothing quite so easy to accomplish as failure. In spite of all the incredible distortions of fat and the perversions of scientific truth, Drs. MacDonald and Garland were forced to admit on page three of their California Report: All of the physicians whose patients were reviewed spoke of increase in the sense of well-being and appetite, gain in weight, and decrease in pain Then, attempting to belittle these important results, they added: as though these observations constituted evidence of definite therapeutic effect.

That statement, alone, should have disqualified the California Report, for these observations are, indeed, among the very things which indicate to a physician whether or not his drug therapy is effective.[23] Most doctors would be ecstatically happy if they could cause their cancer patients to experience an increase in a sense of well-being and appetite, a gain in weight, and especially a decrease in pain. In the 1970s, there was little chance that Laetrile would be given a chance to be tested except by its opponents. Every time proponents attempted to obtain permission to do so, they were turned down cold. On April 6, 1970, for example, the McNaughton Foundation, under the sponsorship of Andrew McNaughtonm submitted an application to the FDA for permission to engage in what is called IND (Investigation of New Drug) Phase One studies. Permission was granted on April 27. Then, in the words of one reporter, All hell broke loose.[24] The FDA apparently received a phone call from an irate and politically influential figure who passed the word: Stop the tests! The next day, April 28, the FDA sent another letter to the Foundation advising that, upon reviewing the records, certain deficiencies had been found in the IND application, and demanding extensive additional data within ten days. Curiously, the letter was not delivered to the McNaughton Foundation until May 6, nine days after it supposedly had been written, and it is suspected that the letter may actually have been written much later but back-dated so as to make it impossible to comply with the already ridiculous ten day deadline. On May 12, six days after receipt of the deficiency letter, McNaughton received a telegram from the FDA advising him that the approval for the Investigation of New Drug had been revoked. Nevertheless, hoping the FDA would reinstate its IND approval upon receipt of the additional data, McNaughton proceeded with the paperwork and, on May 15, just nine days after receipt of the FDAs initial order, sent off to Washington everything that had been requested. By now, however, the FDA was firm. Laetrile would not be tested. A former high official of the FDA told Dr. Dean Burk of the National Cancer Institute that he could not recall in over thirty years of service any instance in which just ten short days were demanded for a fifty page reply to alleged deficiencies. And, on Octover 1, 1970, there was nothing in the FDA procedural manual requiring termination notices after allowing only ten days for compliance.[25] Clearly, the entire action was contrived in response to political pressures as an excuse to stop the testing of Laetrile. One of the reasons given for revoking approval for IND was that Laetrile might be toxic. The FDA said solemnly: Although it is often stated in the IND that amygdalin is non-toxic, data to demonstrate this lack of toxicity are absent It is considered to be dangerous to base the starting dose for a chronic (6 + weeks) study in man on a single dose study in mice. It is also dangerous to initiate human studies while the nature of the toxicity has not been elucidated in large animal species.[26] This is an incredible statement. First of all, as will be illustrated in a leter chapter, the non-toxicity of amygdalin (Laetrile) has been w well-known, fully accepted, and non-controversial fact for a hundred years. Second, the case histories submitted as part of the IND application were further proof of Laetriles safety. And third, the very question of toxicity is absurd inasmuch as all of the drugs approved by the FDA and currently used in orthodox cancer therapy are extremely toxic. To deny the testing of Laetrile on the grounds that it might be toxic is the height of sophistry. Another reason given by the FDA for refusing to permit the testing of Laetrile was that the doctors who had used it did not keep sufficiently detailed clinical records. This, too, was a lame excuse, because Phase One studies do not require clinical records. In righteous indignation, the courageous Dr. Burk of the National Cancer Institute wrote to Elliot Richardson, then Secretary of HEW (which administered the FDA), and said: The granting of FDA permission for Phase One studies of IND has no absolute or invariable requirements for any clinical studies at all, although the sponsor is requested to supply any type of indication that he may posses, which the McNaughton Foundation has complied with to the limit of current feasibility. Dr. Contreras [of Mexico] and Dr. Nieper [of Germany] have been primarily preoccupied, quite justifiably, with treating cancer patients with Laetrile and related adjunctive therapies, and not with carrying out a clinical evolution of Laetrile in the precise and complete schedule of FDA protocols. For you to indicate that their records are inadequatre for such a purpose is clearly a red herring, since there is no such IND Phase One requirement involved, nor corresponding claim made.[25] But the fix was on. Laetrile would not be approved for testing, regardless of the facts. On September 1, 1971, the FDA announced that the Ad Hoc Committee of Consultants for Review and Evaluation of Laetrile had found no acceptable evidence of therapeutic effect to justify clinical trials. And then it announced that, because of their findings, Laetrile could no longer be promoted, sold, or even tested in the United States.[27]

The California Report has remained as one of the primary authorities cited by cancer experts ad nauseum and as the basis of legal restraints against Laetrile. The cancer industry has also refused the advocates of Laetrile a chance to conduct their own clinical trials on the basis of such flimsy excuses that they would be laughable if the consequences were not so serious. All of this is the product of bias, not objectivity. The reports and pronouncements are calculated to deceive, not to clarify. It is fiat, not science. Why is this happening? We shall deal with that part of the story next.

Cancer Stats 2008 and "My Two Cents"

Thursday, August 07, 2008 @6:34:15 PM
Cancer Statistics, 2008

Ahmedin Jemal, DVM, PhD, Rebecca Siegel, MPH, Elizabeth Ward, PhD, Yongping Hao, PhD, Jiaquan Xu, MD , Taylor Murray and Michael J. Thun, MD, MS Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the number of new cancer cases and deaths expected in the United States in the current year and compiles the most recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival based on incidence data from the National Cancer Institute, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries and mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics. Incidence and death rates are age-standardized to the 2000 US standard million population. A total of 1,437,180 new cancer cases and 565,650 deaths from cancer are projected to occur in the United States in 2008. Notable trends in cancer incidence and mortality include stabilization of incidence rates for all cancer sites combined in men from 1995 through 2004 and in women from 1999 through 2004 and a continued decrease in the cancer death rate since 1990 in men and since 1991 in women. Overall cancer death rates in 2004 compared with 1990 in men and 1991 in women decreased by 18.4% and 10.5%, respectively, resulting in the avoidance of over a half million deaths from cancer during this time interval. This report also examines cancer incidence, mortality, and survival by site, sex, race/ethnicity, education, geographic area, and calendar year, as well as the proportionate contribution of selected sites to the overall trends. Although much progress has been made in reducing mortality rates, stabilizing incidence rates, and improving survival, cancer still accounts for more deaths than heart disease in persons under age 85 years. My TWO CENTS: WHAT ARE THEY NOT TELLING US? Well, first off please note that they say use the term "cancer death rates" and "survival" over and over again. I don't wholly disagree that the cancer rates have lessened statistically if we use their termonology and reasoning to "get" the stats in the first place. The issue is that people aren't dying from cancer, they are in the end dying from diabled immune systems which lead to death from a common cold, that leads to pnemonia or some other related illness that a person with a healthy immune system would not die from in the majority of cases. Therefore, their death certificate shows they died of Pnemonia or something else and into the stats go ..."ANOTHER SURVIVOR OF CANCER"!! UGH, it makes me sick. If the person does become a "survivor" according to their standards they are usually living a painful, sickly, miserable life to the end. So I would love to see the research on the "cured" cancer patients that die of say a car wreck, or heart attack (but, even then recovery can be affected by a poor immune system) , or some other disease that wasn't related to having a poor immune system! I have first hand experience with my 33 yr. old girlfriend who had leukemia but died of pnemonia according to her death certificate, so I am speaking on a subject close to my heart! Cancer drugs are toxic, it's been proven over and over. There are many many websites like this one, plus books, articles, archives of research out there for our own personal research on the subject. In his book, "Cancer, Why We're Still Dying To Know The Truth," Researcher and Author, Philip Day interveiws and quotes many physicians saying they would not treat themselves or their family members with conventional methods of chemo or radiation! Why then we, us average Joe's want to use it, let alone trust that it would work. I just ask , if you are reading this, ok I beg if you, if value your life (or loved ones) and living out the rest of your days healthy and enjoying each step of the way, do your research! Live healthier, change your diet! You may have already gone through or chosen chemo or radiation, but I say with everything, there is no day like the present to start a new thing. God is gracious and gives us a

new day to wake up and start over. Only He knows the number of your days! Don't lose hope, don't believe me or the media, just do your homework and come to your own conclusion and at least you can go to bed at night knowing you made an informed decision. Kristi In addition, this just in today August 9th, 2008 and I have to add two more cents! It doesn't matter if you are a Bernie Mac fan or not, if you are a human life fan this will "erc" you! "Quote from MTV news website) "In recent years, Mac (real name: Bernard Jeffery McCullough) has battled an inflammatory lung disease known as sarcoidosis which causes inflammation in the lungs, lymph nodes and other organs. It has been in remission since 2005. His pneumonia is not related to it, his rep said. " What did I say in an earlier paragraph, of course he didn't die of the disease NOR do they mention all the drugs and chemicals and toxins in his system from conventional treatment.....he died of pnemonia....of no relation! Oh I could just throw up reading that. May God comfort his family in this time.

Cancer Symtoms
Monday, August 04, 2008 @4:48:07 PM
We originally posted this as a news article back in May but I thought since I have gotten a few emails regarding this topic I'd add it as a blog for those of you interested.
Remember GOD IS IN CONTROL!!! It is never to late to start on a healthy wholistic diet regiman to control or prevent Cancer in you and your family!
Cancer Symptoms
Since prevention is one of the most important cancer-fighting tools, it is important that cancer be detected as early as possible before it spreads. Telltale Signs of Cancer include: A lump or thickening in the breast or testicles; a change in a wart or mole; a skin sore or a persistent sore throat that doesn't heal; a change in bowel or bladder habits; a persistent cough or coughing blood; constant indigestion or trouble swallowing; unusual bleeding or vaginal discharge; and chronic fatigue. If you notice any of these symptoms, you should see a physician for testing. We also have a web page that lists some of the tests that are available to detect cancer. The following are symptoms that may occur in specific types of cancers: Bladder cancer: Blood in the urine, pain or burning upon urination; frequent urination; or cloudy urine Bone cancer: Pain in the bone or swelling around the affected site; fractures in bones; weakness, fatigue; weight loss; repeated infections; nausea, vomiting, constipation, problems with urination; weakness or numbness in the legs; bumps and bruises that persist Brain cancer: Dizziness; drowsiness; abnormal eye movements or changes in vision; weakness, loss of feeling in arms or legs or difficulties in walking; fits or convulsions; changes in personality, memory or speech; headaches that tend to be worse in the morning and ease during the day, that may be accompanied by nausea or vomiting Breast cancer: A lump or thickening of the breast; discharge from the nipple; change in the skin of the breast; a feeling of heat; or enlarged lymph nodes under the arm Colorectal cancer: Rectal bleeding (red blood in stools or black stools); abdominal cramps; constipation alternating with diarrhea; weight loss; loss of appetite; weakness; pallid complexion Kidney cancer: Blood in urine; dull ache or pain in the back or side; lump in kidney area, sometimes accompanied by high blood pressure or abnormality in red blood cell count Leukemia: Weakness, paleness; fever and flu-like symptoms; bruising and prolonged bleeding; enlarged lymph nodes, spleen, liver; pain in bones and joints; frequent infections; weight loss; night sweats Lung cancer: Wheezing, persistent cough for months; blood-streaked sputum; persistent ache in chest; congestion in lungs; enlarged lymph nodes in the neck Melanoma: Change in mole or other bump on the skin, including bleeding or change in size, shape, color, or texture Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: Painless swelling in the lymph nodes in the neck, underarm, or groin; persistent fever; feeling of fatigue; unexplained weight loss; itchy skin and rashes; small lumps in skin; bone pain; swelling in the abdomen; liver or spleen enlargement Oral cancer: A lump in the mouth, ulceration of the lip, tongue or inside of the mouth that does not heal within a couple of weeks; dentures that no longer fit well; oral pain, bleeding, foul breath, loose teeth, and changes in speech Ovarian cancer: Abdominal swelling; in rare cases, abnormal vaginal bleeding; digestive discomfort Pancreatic cancer: Upper abdominal pain and unexplained weight loss; pain near the center of the back; intolerance of fatty foods; yellowing of the skin; abdominal masses; enlargement of liver and spleen Prostate cancer: Urination difficulties due to blockage of the urethra; bladder retains urine, creating frequent feelings of urgency to urinate, especially at night; bladder not emptying completely; burning or painful urination; bloody urine; tenderness over the bladder; and dull ache in the pelvis or back

Happy Mother's Day 2008!

Thursday, May 08, 2008 @2:04:48 PM In a world of busy-ness and chao's it's a wonder anyone would sign up on purpose to add more worry stress and running around to their lives...but thank goodness for our Mom's who purposely volunteered for the task, lest we not be here today! It's a life full of unselfish service to our children that starts off with a painful birth process which well, truth be told the sacrificing starts long before that in the nine months prior to the welcoming of your screaming little bundle of joy. We change our normal diet to try and eat healthy, cutting out some of our favorite foods, excercising more, adding vitamins to our diet and then there is the dreaded yet inevitable weight gain. We all find our selves wearing a clothing size we never dreamed we could become and wearing dreaded "maturnity" mumu's and those horrid pants with stretchy fabric in front. (Men, should be jealous of that one, saves the whole having to undo the zipper after a big meal) All of this we go through and if that isn't enough we are thanked in the first years by a series of sweet gifts such as burping, being puked on and well other unmentionable little gifts. Then, there is the "action phase" which is pretty much a non stop whirlwind of soccer mom, car pool mom, project helper, lunch maker, tutor,birthday party chauffer, nurse, story teller, room mom, sleepover mom, maid, little league snack mom, (now those of you with little leagers now or in the past know the pressure of walking the grocery store aisle.... and talk about not being able to make a decision!! You feel this insane pressure to HAVE to bring the "perfect snack" so these little 8 yr old monsters think your the best snack mom and yet the parents are happy that your choice wasn't too unhealthy....and we care why? )

Now on top of all this many of us are working outside the home AND attempting to be a wife which is a whole 'nother day to celebrate sacrifice.. why is there not a "Wife's Day"? Come on Hallmark, there is a whole new set of cards in the waiting to be made and bought. :-) Then, there are the older years or worrying and praying which lead to more worry and prayer as our kids get older....harder prayer and eventually having to just turn them over to God, he is after all who gave us the "gift" to borrow for a short time. One day they come home and tell us they are going off to college and eventually getting married and we have to give these amazing children their freedom to go about around the world and eventually decide to make that sacrifice to be mom"s themselves and so the circle continues!! So to all of the mom's who have sacrificed their lives (and their bodies) for us.....THANK YOU!! WE LOVE YOU AND APPRECIATE YOU!!!! HAPPY MOTHER's DAY!!! Add Comment
God asks..."May I have this dance?"

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 @6:08:06 PM
God asks, "May I have this dance?" Dancing With God When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing 'dance' at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back Or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other. My eyes drew back to the word Guidance. When I saw 'G': I thought of God, followed by 'u' and 'i'. 'God, 'u' and 'i' dance.' God, you, and I dance. As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead. My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday. May you abide in God, as God abides in you. Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and to guide you through each season of your life. This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached. If God has done anything for you in your life, please share this message with someone else. There is no cost but a lot of rewards; so let's continue to pray for one another. (I didn't write this but not sure who did, A friend shared it with me and I thought it was worth passing onto you!)

Daily Encouragment
Saturday, April 19, 2008 @8:55:13 AM I am daily encouraged by the strength of our members and friends. Many of you remain positive and help keep my life in check . I am thankful for you! I continue to grow in my faith and realizing that there is nothing more valuable than spreading the message of hope and peace in Christ, in a diseased world where our ultimate destiny on this earth is death and we cannot avoid it, I am comforted and peaceful knowing it is only the doorway to everlasting life as a believer in Christ! I am renewed each morning by seeing Christ's love for me in the beauty of His creation. Birds chirping, the hustle and bustle of traffic, the sound of tree branches in the wind, just the very breath I take compells me to think upon His grace and that he has me alive today for a reason. Each morning my prayer is that I will meet who I am supposed to meet today, touch someone with inspiration, extend Christ's grace and mercy to someone, and that ultimately I will make God proud of me today! I know that I am not perfect , nor can I ever be, but I am enveloped in what Jesus did for me on the cross and the burden of sin He took from me so that I , if I confess my sins daily can walk in fellowship and spiritual growth in Him! The daily spiritual battle is much like the battle of cancer, eating away at our bodies with answers right in reach if we just take the time to study and learn and have the willingness to listen and participate. I am so excited about what God has in store for each of us, I will not be discouraged, I will cast my worries on God and let Him who is bigger than our biggest enemy, disease or struggle take my burden and free me to go on to bigger and better things such as sharing the love of Christ, instead of wasting my time on worry and fear and what if's. God is good, He wants you to see that He is, so take time to see Him today. He loves you , He cares for you and He wants you to know Him! Enjoy a beautiful day! 1 comment

Well, we are Cancervictors so we should talk about those of you victorious over cancer by whatever methods you used. I would encourage you to write your stories under Forum, Survivor Stories. Do you know someone who has a great testimonial? Encourage them to do the same. If you were fighting a battle wouldn't you want to know others success stories so that you have some hope to keep going. Half the battle is in the mind, deciding you are going to live each day to its fullest and not give up because some doctor (who is not God or a prophet by the way) told you that your time on earth is now limited to 3-6 months or something. If this happens to be you and you are in the hopeless or worried or giving up phase you need to start with a renewed mind. Positive thinking to live. You are the next Survivor Story that will be posted! Have Faith. Is God who overcame sin and death not able to save you on earth and for eternity? You are unique and God loves you! He holds you in his hand and says that if we ask we shall receive. He says in the Bible that if we have the faith of a tiny mustard seed (Matthew 17:20) in Him we will be saved and live in eternity with Him. We can't make it to heaven by doing good, Lord knows half the time those of you suffering don't feel like doing anything good or may not have the strength too do much at all-good or not! The thief on the cross next to Jesus believed and went to be in heaven that day! He hadn't lived one "good" day and yet he believed in Jesus and was saved for eternity. Let Him who is faithful to us carry your burden. (Psalm 55:22) "Cast your cares on Him and He will sustain you"...He asks us to do this. He WANTS to carry your load! Let Him take it from you.Psalm 19:20 "Praise be to God, who daily bears our burdens,Our God is a God who saves..."

My child has a cough........what do I do?

Friday, March 21, 2008 @2:06:07 PM It may seem like a simple, almost silly question but since we are talking on the site about alternatives to the conventional ways of treating ourselves..shouldn't this encompass all areas of our lives? I have been slowly starting to rid my house of products with toxins, perfumes, dyes, perservatives, chemicals etc. BUT THEN......I noticed my son had a cough the other evening and thought , "great I threw out all the tylenol cough and other junk I had collected to solve the daily health illnesses that arise" because I didn't want to just pump him or anyone in my household up with "typical medicine" that may actually be harmful when there is probably a more natural way ,but then I realized I had no idea what to give him for this cough he had. Soooo what did I do? I called my good friend Mary Beth (fellow cancervictor volunteer and all around GREAT girl with a contagious smile) (you can look her up under member search Mary Beth Lozano)and she said to look up herbsforkids.com. You can click on your state and find retailers near you as well. It was a great help. She also said the Arbonne vapor rub works wonders and is a natural product as well. So I just thought I should share this information in case it can help a fellow mom or really anyone for that matter!! Enjoy the day and healthier living!! Kristi 2 comments
A few encouraging promises God says in the Bible..

Sunday, March 09, 2008 @10:40:30 AM Philipians 4 "Do not be anxious.The peace of God will guard your heart and mind. Romans 8:28 And we know all things work together for good of those who love God and have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:24 Hope that is seen is not hope at all, for who hopes in what he already has? But if we hope for that which we do not see, we wait for it patiently. Romans 8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing to the GLORY that will be revealed in us. James 1:24 Consider it pure JOY whenever you face trials of any kind because you know that the testing of your faith develops perserverance. Perserverence must finish its work in you so that you may be mature and complete,not lacking anything.If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt. Even on the tougher days remember you can seek God even if you have to say "God I am having a hard time trusting you today "or tell him you are scared or worried. He already knows how you feel anyways, and you feel better saying it outloud, admitting it to God and to yourself in voice. Remember we do not have to face burdens alone. The Bible says ,Cast ALL your cares on Him, for He cares for you. Why try to carry the load on your own? Give your worries and anxieties to God even if you have to do it every 5 minutes. Remember also that we may not understand why we are going through a tough time, but have confidence in knowing God has the perfect plan for your life and when you believe in Him he will direct your path according to his will and perfect plan. I have seen this repeated over and over in my life. I have come to the point now when I go through a trial I think "BRING IT ON GOD, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TEACH ME NOW"......? Instead of being too upset or frustrated with the trials in my life. It is amazing how it can change your thinking and your attitude when you are able to turn it over immediately to God, thank him for the trial and ask him to reveal to you what He wants you to learn. Hope this is encouraging!!!! Kristi Add Comment
Alternative Medicine Comments

Monday, February 25, 2008 @9:20:51 PM These are interesting comments I found on youtube in regards to alternative medicine video.....just thought I would share. Seems at the very least we owe our bodies full research on what we are doing to them to cure cancer and other diseases. 75 percent of oncologists said if they had cancer they would not participate in chemotherapy trials due to its "ineffectiveness and its unacceptable toxicity. - Dr. Ulrich Abel. "As a chemist trained to interpret data, it is incromprehensible to me that physicians can ignore the clear evidence that chemotherapy does much, much more harm than good."---Alan Nixon, Ph.D., Past President, American Chemical Society. "After analyzing cancer survival statistics for several decades, Dr Hardin Jones, a professor at the University of California, concluded;people are better off, untreated."
chemo completely destroys your immune system so if youre cancer comes back, your body isnt able to fight it off...i watched my grandfather die of lung cancer he was sick all the time from chemo and radiation...i wish i had known more about holistic medicine back then like i do now it might have saved his life You should find out about Dr. Johanna Budwig (pharmacologist, chemist, physicist and 7 time Nobel nominee), and Dr. Otto Warburg (M.D., chemist and 2 time Nobel Prize winner.) They both believed that cancer was---in the majority of cases---extremely simple to cure... although bear in mind that "simple" and "easy" aren't necessarily synonymous. Also they both were utterly opposed to conventional treatments, i.e. chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Add Comment
Keep it up!
Tuesday, February 19, 2008 @8:42:06 AM Life experience is so beneficial to us all. I cannot say enough about how grateful I am for each of you that share your life experience, research and what you are reading with all of us on this site. It is so great to spread the word about alternative therapies and natural remedies to such a huge issue such as cancer. It is priceless to be able to hear your stories first hand from someone who has been there, done that so to speak. Instead of feeling alone and isolated, we can feel like we are among friends and family every step of the way-even over the internet. If we all do our part in research and sharing we can create the path towards cancer with more happy endings and new beginnings at a cancer free life for not only this generation but generations to come! Small beginnings bring HUGE life changing endings that money cannot buy. So let's be patient, not give up, fight for our beliefs, fight for healthier futures and keep on sharing with each other. Spread the word to your friends and family members, it may be life saving! Though I have not experienced cancer in my life personally I have many close friends and family members who have and I want to be part of the prevention as well as be equipped to handle anything in this realm that comes my way. You never know when the seed (information) you plant will grow into an amazing tree full of life! (healthy person changed by your input) Keep studying, keep positive and keep sharing!!
