Cancer Stories:

[ There is a startling story related by Maynard Murray, the doctor who discovered that sea water (or dried sea solids) in the correct amount was an excellent source of minerals to use as fertilizer. (Sea Energy Agriculture, by M Murray, Acres U.S.A.) He noted that sea animals and ocean fish rarely develop cancer, whereas land animals and river fish do. He surmised that since all the earth's minerals ultimately end up in the oceans, and since sea water is very similar in composition to blood serum, sea water provided all the minerals the sea animals needed for healthy growth, and should provide all the minerals that plants need for healthy growth. His many experiments proved that this is indeed true, as he produced very healthy, pest-free crops using sea solids for fertilizer and very healthy animals raised on these crops. 

In one experiment he took some rats that had been bred to develop fatal breast cancer and fed half of them standard rat chow and half were fed super nutritious food that had been grown on soil fertilized with sea solids. The chow-fed rats all developed cancer as expected and died within eight months. The rats fed the super food were sacrificed at 16 months and none had cancer. Excellent nutrition made that much difference! The lesson I take from this is that nutrition can have a powerful influence on the course of cancer. The three stories below relate how three individuals did what the doctors say is impossible - they enabled their bodies to heal themselves by the use of super nutrition with real foods. May they be an inspiration to you as you struggle to free yourself from addiction to the modern American diet.

In a day when fiber is the standard remedy for gut problems, here is a credible voice of caution - a real revelation to me as a dietitian who wrote her master's thesis on fiber. Basically he says that healthy gut microflora and plenty of good fats are needed for good gut health, fiber just adds complications. It has worked for me.

Fiber Menace: Thou Shalt Not Eat Any Abominable Thing
by Konstantin Monastyrsky

Excellent, long article about the problems with vegetarianism:

The claim is made the folks in the Mediterranean area (Italy, Greece) eat a low fat diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables and olive oil. But that is a misrepresentation of these folks typically eat. Those who come from that part of the world say that is not true, as they eat plenty of fat - butter, lard - and meat. But they eat less processed food, which is the probable reason for their better health. More on the Mediterranean Diet

The Failsafe Diet
FAILSAFE stands for Free of Additives, Low in Salicylates, Amines and Flavour Enhancers - a comprehensive low-chemical, low-reactive exclusion diet designed to treat intolerances to specific chemicals in foods rather than allergies.

Heart Disease is one of the most perplexing problems of our age. It has been blamed on our high fat diets, but the etiology is far more complex. For an excellent review of the issues involved with heart disease check out "What Causes Heart Disease?" by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig or "The Truth About Saturated Fat", by the same authors. 

Here is a summary quoted from page two of the second article:

"The Cause And Treatment Of Heart Disease

"The cause of heart disease is not animal fats and cholesterol but rather a number of factors inherent in modern diets, including excess consumption of vegetables oils and hydrogenated fats; excess consumption of refined carbohydrates in the form of sugar and white flour; mineral deficiencies, particularly low levels of protective magnesium and iodine; deficiencies of vitamins, particularly of vitamin C, needed for the integrity of the blood vessel walls, and of antioxidants like selenium and vitamin E, which protect us from free radicals; and, finally, the disappearance of antimicrobial fats from the food supply, namely, animal fats and tropical oils.

"These once protected us against the kinds of viruses and bacteria that have been associated with the onset of pathogenic plaque leading to heart disease.

"While serum cholesterol levels provide an inaccurate indication of future heart disease, a high level of a substance called homocysteine in the blood has been positively correlated with pathological buildup of plaque in the arteries and the tendency to form clots-a deadly combination. Folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and choline are nutrients that lower serum homocysteine levels. These nutrients are found mostly in animal foods.

"The best way to treat heart disease, then, is not to focus on lowering cholesterol-either by drugs or diet-but to consume a diet that provides animal foods rich in vitamins B6 and B12; to bolster thyroid function by daily use of natural sea salt, a good source of usable iodine; to avoid vitamin and mineral deficiencies that make the artery walls more prone to ruptures and the buildup of plaque; to include the antimicrobial fats in the diet; and to eliminate processed foods containing refined carbohydrates, oxidized cholesterol and free-radical-containing vegetable oils that cause the body to need constant repair."

The verdict - if your diet is deficient in almost anything, it probably affects your heart adversely! The first article is a long article! If you are in a hurry, do a page search on 'Solutions' (second occurrence) for a summary of what to do to protect yourself against heart disease.

The Heart Disease - Scurvy Connection

Dr. Matthias Rath, working with Dr. Linus Pauling, established the connection of heart disease and humans' inability to synthesize vitamin C. These sites speak for themselves:

Microwaving - 
The same violent friction and athermic deformations that can occur in our
bodies when we are subjected to radar or microwaves, happens to the molecules in the food cooked in a microwave oven. In fact, when anyone microwaves food, the oven exerts a power input of about 1,000 watts or more. This radiation results in destruction and deformation of molecules of food, and in the formation of new compounds (called radiolytic compounds) unknown to man and nature. 
Originally printed from the April 1994 edition of Acres, USA.

"A study done in Europe showed that micro waving changes the molecular structure of foods, making them depressive to the immune system, therefore I highly advise against the consumption of foods cooked defrosted or re-heated in a microwave if you are trying to improve your health and immune system."  
From http://www.naturopath4you.com/IfYouHaveCancer.htm

Example:
"Whatever form of gelatin is used, it should never be cooked or reheated in the microwave. According to a letter published in The Lancet, the common practice of microwaving converts l-proline to d-proline. They write, “The conversion of trans to cis forms could be hazardous because when cis-amino acids are incorporated into peptides and proteins instead of their trans isomers, this can lead to structural, functional and immunological changes.” They further note that “d-proline is neurotoxic and we have reported nephrotoxic and heptatotoxic effects of this compound.”⁵⁵ In other words, the gelatin in homemade broth confers wondrous benefits, but if you heat it in the microwave, it becomes toxic to the liver, kidneys and nervous system."

Health Freedom Issues

Raw milk, supplements, holistic health providers, nutrition advice - government authorities persist in telling citizens that they don't know enough to make wise decisions, so the authorities intervene to try to prevent citizens from making their own wise choices. Misinformation about the issues and acrimony abound. I have spoken out about these issues. Thanks to the Internet there is a growing chorus of voices speaking out for Health Freedom. I hope you will join the choir!

Healthcare freedom is being able to choose whatever treatment you think will serve you best as a patient. It may include pharmaceutical drugs, surgery or alternative therapies like acupuncture, herbs, reiki or yoga. And it means being able to choose the practitioner you wish, whether a medical doctor, massage therapist, reflexologist, energy worker or other unlicensed practitioner.

L Why is Health Freedom such an issue?
There are powerful commercial interests that benefit mightily from our present medical system, broken as it is - on its way to bankrupting our nation and crippling the health of people worldwide - commercial agriculture, the food industry, the medical profession, the drug industry, supported far too much by our government and our educational institutions. In the nutrition textbooks that I have collected over the years there is so often a whole chapter on how to recognize food fallacies, food "faddists" and "quacks". What is behind this persistent effort to put fear of fallacies (food or otherwise) in the mind of professionals? I think we can get a clue from the story behind Quackwatch.com, which is recommended in the textbooks as a reliable source of information about "fallacies".  But, in fact, Quackwatch.com itself is the fraud, as can be seen by this ruling of a judge in Pennsylvania against Quackwatch Founder Stephen Barrett:
http://www.canlyme.com/quackwatch.html

 "Barrett is a shill for the medical and pharmaceutical cartels and his bully tactics and unjustified discrediting of leading innovators, scientists and health practitioners should not be tolerated.”

For an example of outspoken critics of the system see The Avian Flu Fright is Politically Timed - A Public Health Warning and Political Essay by Dr. Leonard Horowitz

"Conflicts short of war, like the "War on AIDS," "War on Drugs," "War on Terrorism," "War on Cancer," and now "War on the Avian Flu" require sophisticated propaganda programs employing fear campaigns for social acceptance and popular support of legislated policies" (emphasis mine).

The Divisive Issues of Our Age
There are so many divisive issues in our age - vegetarianism, homosexuality, global free trade, farm prices, chemical agriculture. I am assembling some Wisdom Passages which can guide our thoughts on these issues.

"I will send disaster upon the leaders of my people--the shepherds of my sheep--for they have destroyed and scattered the very ones they were expected to care for," says the LORD.
This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to these shepherds: "Instead of leading my flock to safety, you have deserted them and driven them to destruction. Now I will pour out judgment on you for the evil you have done to them. 

Jeremiah 23: 1-2 (NLT)

The Dividing Wall of Hostility

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations.

Ephesians 2:13, 14 (NIV)

The Power of God's Love

And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.

Ephesians 3:18-20

The Web of Life - Wisdom quoted on Dr. Bronner's Soap wrappers - www.drbronner.com:

"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect."   Chief Seattle

"We live here as in an egg - either we evolve or we decay."   Confucius

On Technology

"I don't know what weapons will be used in World War III, but I do know World War IV wil1 be fought with spears and clubs!"   Einstein

"Our technology has outstripped our humanity!"  Einstein

On Government

"Government, like fire, is our most useful servant, if fully controlled by us, its citizens! And government, exactly like fire, becomes our most destructive master, if not fully controlled by the open majority of its constructive, working citizens!"   George Washington.

On the power of commitment

"Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world.  Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."      Margaret Mead
