The Fundamental Methodology
of Survival Medicine
Cancer Treatment
The best way to treat cancer is to stimulate the body's own resources to
destroy the invading intruders, the colonies of yeast and fungus that cancer
is / plus restore and revitalize human cells that are in a state of malfunction
and decay. This fundamental methodology makes much more common
sense than the FDA's and pharmaceutical industries poisonous slash and
burn methods of chemotherapy and radiation which appear to kill more
people than it cures.1 It has been said by many that drugs don't heal; the
body heals itself when properly nurtured and strengthened and led to do so
by concentrated nutritional substances and a careful confrontation with
attitudes and life conflicts that are undermining the immune system.
Strong immune systems are formed by the
foods we eat and the attitudes we keep.
At its core, immunity is simple. The body discriminates between what is
"you" (autologous or self) and "not you" (foreign or non-self). The immune
system includes white blood cells (leukocytes) and the lymphoid organs
(such as the thyroid or spleen). It responds to infectious attack or internal
mutation with either strength or weakness depending on a wide variety of
factors. Until a person actually dies it is possible to renew this system and
throw it into higher gear to seek out and destroy even late stage infections.
Miracles are just the potential for intense life bursts that manifest through
the immune system; it’s almost like our central nervous system and its
capacity to react in emergency situations. In fact the two systems can and do
mirror each other. We can, if we consciously choose, engage the full
spectrum of the inherent healing powers our bodies, minds and soul if we
engage ourselves fully in the absolute truth of our situations.
When we have cancer, when our lives are threatened, we do not want to
engage in any of the above in weak ways that leave us vulnerable, leave our
healing process to chance. Many have tried different therapies and have
failed and died. Though the only certainly in life is death, we are born with
and need to sustain the full spirit toward life. The list is long of the things
we can do to revive this spirit and the actual physical power of healing
inherent in our bodies but there are some core substances and medical
procedures that can super charge this entire process that we simply cannot
ignore without threatening our life.
The first and most crucially important thing we need to do is to address
in the most power and quick way possible is our magnesium deficiencies.
When it comes to healing and life itself, after the water we drink and the air
we breathe, magnesium lives up to its billing as the miracle mineral that can
save us in our time of desperate need. Called by the ancient Chinese the
beautiful mineral its beauty is seen in the absolute healing power it contains.
It is nothing short of a miracle mineral. It holds the key for hundreds of
crucial enzyme reactions and cellular processes. Magnesium chloride, when
supplied in sufficient quantities, can kick start cell physiology in a very
powerful way. Few know that magnesium chloride is an impressive
infection fighter and even fewer know that the best way to deliver
magnesium to all the cells is through transdermal means.
I got a letter from a professional colleague named George Eby two weeks
ago that stated that his daughter was destroyed by the terrible side effects of
a special type of antibiotic called fluoroquinolones.2 He said, “My daughter
was stricken with this horrible affliction. Cipro sensitivity causes long term
(multiple years to life) chronic pain, weakness and tendon weakness leading
to tendon breakage and many other horrible effects, some physical and some
mental. This is something that everyone needs to know about. We have been
destroyed by cipro. I don't think there is much anyone can do, except to give
her magnesium - which is somewhat of an antidote. I am very worried but I
haven't lost hope, but I am being realistic. Some of the tendon damage is
necrotic and permanent. However, we have studies with rattlesnake venom
that produce necrosis on animals and simply applying magnesium (chloride)
and zinc (gluconate) topically, the necrosis vanishes.” Ten days later I
received this email from George.
“Topical magnesium chloride for 10 days = well daughter!”
There is a power and a force in magnesium chloride that cannot be
equaled anywhere else in the world of medicine. There is no substitute for
magnesium in human physiology; nothing comes even close to it in terms of
its effect on overall cell physiology. It goes against a strong gale wind of
medical science to ignore magnesium chloride used transdermally in the
treatment of any chronic or acute disorder. If we looked it would be very
difficult to find one cancer patient with anywhere near normal levels of
cellular magnesium meaning cancer probably does not exist in a physical
cellular enironment full of magnesium. It makes perfect sense to saturate the
body with magnesium through transdermal means. Unless a patient is also
facing massive kidney failure such treatments have only an upside since a
pure magneisum chloride product (natural) would have virtually no toxicity
at all.
Thus magnesium chloride is the first and most important item in our
cancer protocol as it is in all our protocols for other serious illnesses. Put in
the clearest terms possible, our suggestion from the first day on the Survival
Medicine protocol is to almost drown oneself in transdermally applied
magnesium chloride. George Eby used on his slight daughter approximately
one ounce applied to the skin a day. When I used magnesium chloride
treatments for sports reasons I used upward of two ounces and sometimes
more each day for immediate pain relief and muscle relaxation. I am though
anything but slight in build. Such intensive use would more than equal the
healing power that is applied with magnesium chloride and sulfate when
used in emergency rooms and intensive care wards to save people lives in
the case of cardiac arrest or stroke.
The first four agents qualify for this level of pure power starting with
magnesium chloride, iodine, sodium bicarbonate and ALA. A fifth would be
selenium, and behind that zinc and vitamin C and E and spirulina which is
very high in GLA. Spirulina, in fact, is our secret biological weapon; the
darkness that cancer is does not stand up well against the life force that
comes through spirulina. Much the same can be said for what comes
through really good probiotics.
This formula would do much more than catch cancer tumor colonies in a
lethal crossfire of concentrated nutritional elements. We would be
stimulating the full powers of the immune system itself to seek out and
destroy the enemy cancerous cells. ALA is a remarkable compound that
appears to slow down the process of aging, improve blood flow, enhance
immune function and perform many other functions. "The evidence
suggests that Lipoic acid is actually a low-level stressor that turns on
the basic cellular defenses of the body, including some of those that
naturally decline with age," said Dr. Tory Hagen, an associate professor of
biochemistry and biophysics at OSU. "In particular, it tends to restore levels
of glutathione, a protective antioxidant and detoxification compound, to
those of a young animal. It also acts as a strong anti-inflammatory agent,
which is relevant to many degenerative diseases." It seems that ALA has the
ability to "kick start" cells that are declining in function helping them
recover the functions that came more easily and naturally when they were
younger and more vital. ALA appears to help restore a cellular "signaling"
process that tends to break down in older blood vessels. It reduces
mitochondrial decay in cells, which is closely linked to the symptoms of
aging.
When we talk about ALA we are also actually talking about glutathione,
which it stimulates and recycles in large quantities. Glutathione plays
several roles in cancer. It prevents cancer, protecting DNA from damage by
detoxifying harmful chemicals and removing them from the body. Low
glutathione levels predispose people to cancer. Patients with a variety of
malignant disorders were found to have a markedly lowered plasma
glutathione level.3
Glutathione fights cancer. It selectively stimulates apoptosis (cell death)
of malignant cells while leaving healthy cells unaffected.4 It does this by
regulating the tumor suppressor protein p53. Under normal conditions the
p53 protein senses DNA damage in a cell and slows the rate of cell division,
giving the cell time to repair itself. If the DNA cannot be repaired, p53 tells
the cell to kill itself (apoptosis). Treatment with glutathione may reverse the
cancer process. Various studies have shown glutathione reverses
development of neuroblastoma, cervical carcinoma, leukemia, and other
cancers.5
And we can pump in both iodine and sodium bicarbonate in high dosages
through a combination of oral, transdermal, intravenous, douche, colonic
and aerosol means and go for rapid pH changes, high antioxidant status,
detoxification of thyroid and a turbo charged metabolism with the revival of
thyroid hormone production.
Most -- if not all -- chronic infectious diseases are not caused
by a failure of the immune system, but are a conscious adaptation
of the immune system to an otherwise lethal heavy metal environment.
Dr. Klinghardt
Our protocol does not stop with this treatment. There are four principle
agents we suggest that all cancer patients employ and a list of backup agents
that will fire up cell functions and general physiology across the board. We
want to do this in an absolutely powerful way so when treating cancer our
core medicinal substances need to be as strong as panzer divisions attacking
a very aggressive enemy. Dr. Klinghardt is reminding us that the enemy
behind enemy lines (behind the cancer) is the heavy metals,6 especially the
mercury, which is beginning to threaten all life forms on planet earth in a
most devastating way.
New research from Canada suggests pollution from China
and other Asian countries is causing serious toxic
contamination in North America, accounting for as much as
25 per cent of the mercury deposited in Western Canada.
Same goes for California and the Western United States. Interesting
major parts of this protocol does double duty with the chelation of mercury
being facilitated by the ALA, selenium, iodine and magnesium chloride.

Emergency Room/Intensive Care
Cancer Medicine
As cancer rates surge upward human survival is
directly related to a safe and effective protocol for cancer,
diabetes as well as heart and a host of neurological diseases.
Cancer is a prime example of how heavy metal toxicity, free radical
damage, pathogen infection, inflammation, mitochondria dysfunction,
immune system depression, mineral and vitamin deficiencies, genetic
protein and cell wall damage, oxidative stress and even emotional conficts
all come together into an end stage life threatening condition. Cancer
treatment can be approached in many ways but the best way would be to
address all these problems simultaneously.
When scientifically proven treatments are ignored by mainstream medicine
because they are unpatentable and unprofitable, the medical consumer’s
only choice is to endure barbaric medical treatments that, if they
don’t kill outright, leaves him with a lifetime of disability.
Maureen Kennedy Salaman
President, National Health Federation
Despite the fact that allopathic medicine is poisoning and killing
hundreds of thousands of people in the United States and millions of people
around the world every year, deep within the heart of western medicine is
a wisdom and power that is deliberately stymied by medical authorities
and the pharmaceutical companies that stand behind them. Inside the
emergency room and intensive care wards, where many believe some of the
most accurate medicine is practiced, are common but extraordinarily safe
and effective substances that save lives everyday. Interesting no one has
thought to harness these medical super weapons against chronic disease or
cancer.
What we have done to establish the nuclear core of our work is to go into
the emergency room and take their best and safest medicines and apply their
life saving qualities to cancer, other chronic diseases and also acute
situations. It is the same medicines that can save a life on demand instantly
in an emergency situation like cardiac arrest are some of the same ones we
can use to battle the diseases that have been baffling the entire western
allopathic establishment for decades.
What will come as a surprise to most allopathic physicians is that the
healing agents we have selected are not pharmaceutical medicines but
highly concentrated nutritional substances. We are talking specifically
about magnesium chloride, iodine and sodium bicarbonate. These basic
emergency room substances, along with ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) make up
our core protocol which together, along with other minerals and vitamins
like selenium, zinc and vitamin C, can beat back the ravaging power of
cancer and even diabetes.
These substances offer a power unequalled in the world of medicine
that we can harness to cure cancer. As cancer rates surge upward
human survival is directly related to a safe and effective protocol for
cancer, diabetes as well as heart and a host of neurological diseases.
In the emergency room medicines have to be safe while delivering an
instant life saving burst of healing power. Obviously if they are safe and
strong enough for emergency situations they are going to help us with
chronic diseases and acute ones as well. The protocol in Survival Medicine
offers a power unequalled in the world of medicine, which we can harness
to cure cancer and other chronic diseases.
Survival Medicine sees cancer as a slow moving emergency situation and
recommends that whatever one decides to do one must start treatments
immediately with these basic emergency room medicines to begin a
healing/stabilizing process. Luckily the basic protocol of intensive care
medicines can fortunately be purchased over the counter to start treatment
right at home but it is advised to find a competent health care practitioner
trained in Survival Medicine to guide you through treatment.
This chapter outlines many of the basic points presented in depth in many
other chapters that together are hundreds of pages in length. It represents
Survival Medicine’s focus in orthomolecular medicine but the protocol
recognizes the mental, emotional and spiritual sources of cancer and the
traumatic shocks to human consciousness that trigger the downward spiral
into cancerous conditions. Though cancer can be highly complicated by
these factors the core of the protocol is so strong and so precisely targeted to
kill cancer cells that it becomes secondary to delve deeply into the human
conflicts and stress points that so often accompany the disease. On the other
hand though, often these deeper points are the first ones that need to be
addressed. (Five Hundred of the 2,200 pages of Survival Medicine are in a section called
HeartHealth are on these mental, emotional, social and spiritual issues.)
In the case of cancer our protocol traps cancer cells and exposes them to
substances that make it almost impossible for them to survive while it
simultaneously addresses the “terraine,” the cellular and intercellular
environments to remove the conditions favorable for cancer growth. We will
present only the first four or “core” aspects of the Survival Medicine
protocol.
The protocol can be imagined like a hurricane with a nuclear center from
where a focal power eminates. But there are outer bands, many types of
treatments that can surround the eye. We know cancer can be cured for there
are many people walking around for many years in total remission and the
odds are high most of these people choose an alternative cancer treatment.
There are many kinds of treatments that facilitate our quest for a complete
cure, which is defined as a cancer that never comes back. Each practitioner
and clinic using Survial Medicine’s core protocol will offer their own
enhancements many of which are extremely powerful in their own right.
Meaning it’s a core protocol we are talking about 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. Though a sea of options
are available to address chronic diseases, just like in the emergency room
we have to carefully choose what the logical first steps are when facing
cancer.
In emergency and intensive care medicine treatments are prioritized, the
basics of life have to be instantly addressed. There are certain protocols that
are used when a life is only seconds away from ending. We know and
understand that the patient is struggling with the basics of life and
treatments are chosen to address immediate life threatening concerns. It
comes as a surprise to discover that in chronic disease it is much the same.
Cancer is what might be considered an extended emergency situation and
we can treat it that way applying magnesium chloride, iodine and sodium
bicarbonate no matter what other treatment is engaged. After all sodium
bicarbonate is even used to buffer chemotherapy and radiation treatments
making them less harmful to patients. This is a testament to the power of
emergency room medicines and their life restoring benefits.
Because nutritional medicine is non toxic in nature
we can layer treatments and attack from all sides in a
simultaneous assault on that which is dead set on taking our life.
In reality the most basic medicine in Survival Medicine is pure clean
water with a slight leaning toward alkaline pH. Hydration is a high prioritiy
in the emergency room as is breathing. The basic minerals also are high
priority items, magnesium sulfate and magnesium chloride are perhaps the
strongest of all emergency room medicines. Sodium bicarbonate also is a
mainstay commonly used emergency room medicine and without idoine
keeping the hosptials as sterile as possible we would not even be able to step
foot into a hospital without dying, so great would be the viral, bacterial and
fungal levels. In this chapter we will also add two other important agents
that are not a part of the core treatment but are high prioritiy items; Alpha
Lipoic Acid and selenium both of which reflect importantly to the bodies
glutathione levels.
Magnesium and Cancer
It is known that carcinogenesis induces magnesium distribution
disturbances, which cause magnesium mobilization through blood cells and
magnesium depletion in non-neoplastic tissues. Magnesium deficiency
seems to be carcinogenic, and in case of solid tumors, a high level of
supplemented magnesium inhibits carcinogenesis.8 Both carcinogenesis
and magnesium deficiency increase the plasma membrane permeability and
fluidity.
Calcium and magnesium are opposites in their effects
on our body structure. As a general rule, the more
rigid and inflexible our body structure is, the
less calcium and the more magnesium we need.
Experts say excessive calcium intake may be unwise in light of recent
studies showing that high amounts of the mineral may increase risk of
prostate cancer. "There is reasonable evidence to suggest that calcium may
play an important role in the development of prostate cancer," says Dr.
Carmen Rodriguez, senior epidemiologist in the epidemiology and
surveillance research department of the American Cancer Society (ACS).
Rodriguez says that a 1998 Harvard School of Public Health study of 47,781
men found those consuming between 1,500 and 1,999 mg of calcium per
day had about double the risk of being diagnosed with metastatic
(cancer that has spread to other parts of the body) prostate cancer as
those getting 500 mg per day or less. And those taking in 2,000 mg or
more had over four times the risk of developing metastatic prostate cancer
as those taking in less than 500 mg.
The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of calcium is
1,000 mg per day for men, and 1,500 mg for women.
Later in 1998, Harvard researchers published a study of dairy product
intake among 526 men diagnosed with prostate cancer and 536 similar men
not diagnosed with the disease. That study found a 50% increase in prostate
cancer risk and a near doubling of risk of metastatic prostate cancer among
men consuming high amounts of dairy products, likely due, say the
researchers, to the high total amount of calcium in such a diet. The most
recent Harvard study on the topic, published in October 2001, looked at
dairy product intake among 20,885 men and found men consuming the most
dairy products had about 32% higher risk of developing prostate cancer than
those consuming the least.
Magnesium is the mineral of rejuvenation and prevents the
calcification of our organs and tissues that is characteristic
of the old-age related degeneration of our body.
It certainly is time to get serious about cancer prevention, with the disease
predicted to surge in the next 15 years. Researchers from the School of
Public Health at the University of Minnesota have just concluded that diets
rich in magnesium reduced the occurrence of colon cancer.9 A previous
study from Sweden10 reported that women with the highest magnesium
intake had a 40 per cent lower risk of developing the cancer than those with
the lowest intake of the mineral.
Several studies have shown an increased cancer rate in regions with low
magnesium levels in soil and drinking water, and the same for selenium. In
Egypt the cancer rate was only about 10% of that in Europe and America. In
the rural fellah it was practically non-existent. The main difference was an
extremely high magnesium intake of 2.5 to 3g in these cancer-free
populations, ten times more than in most western countries.11
The School of Public Health at the Kaohsiung Medical College in,
Taiwan, found that magnesium also exerts a protective effect
against gastric cancer, but only for the group with the highest levels.12
Magnesium protects cells from aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium,
beryllium and nickel, which explains why re-mineralization is so
essential for heavy metal detoxification and chelation. Magnesium
protects the cell against oxyradical damage and assists in the absorption and
metabolism of B vitamins, vitamin C and E, which are anti-oxidants
important in cell protection. Recent evidence suggests that vitamin E
enhances glutathione levels and may play a protective role in magnesium
deficiency-induced cardiac lesions.13 Magnesium in general is essential for
the survival of our cells but takes on further importance in the age of
toxicity where our bodies are being bombarded on a daily basis with heavy
metals. Magnesium thus protects the brain from toxic effects of chemicals.
It is highly likely that low total body magnesium contributes to heavy metal
toxicity in children and is a strong participant in the etiology of learning
disorders.
Dr Seeger and Dr Budwig in Germany have shown that cancer is mainly
the result of a faulty energy metabolism in the powerhouses of the cells, the
mitochondria. ATP and most of the enzymes involved in the production of
energy require magnesium. A healthy cell has high magnesium and low
calcium levels. The problem that comes with low magnesium (Mg) levels is
the calcium builds up inside the cells while energy production decreases as
the mitochondria gradually calcify.
“Mg2+ is critical for all of the energetics of the cells because it is
absolutely required that Mg2+ be bound (chelated) by ATP (adenosine
triphosphate), the central high energy compound of the body. ATP without
Mg2+ bound cannot create the energy normally used by specific enzymes of
the body to make protein, DNA, RNA, transport sodium or potassium or
calcium in and out of cells, nor to phosphorylate proteins in response to
hormone signals, etc. In fact, ATP without enough Mg2+ is non-functional
and leads to cell death. Bound Mg2+ holds the triphosphate in the correct
stereochemical position so that it can interact with ATP using enzymes and
the Mg2+ also polarizes the phosphate backbone so that the 'backside of the
phosphorous' is more positive and susceptible to attack by nucleophilic
agents such as hydroxide ion or other negatively charged
compounds. Bottom line, Mg2+ at critical concentrations is essential to
life,” says Dr. Boyd Haley who asserts strongly that, “All detoxification
mechanisms have as the bases of the energy required to remove a toxicant
the need for Mg-ATP to drive the process. There is nothing done in the
body that does not use energy and without Mg2+ this energy can neither be
made nor used.” Detoxification of carcinogenic chemical poisons is
essential for people want to avoid the ravages of cancer. The importance of
magnesium in cancer prevention should not be underestimated.
Among other effects, magnesium improves the internal production of
defensive substances, such as antibodies and considerably improves the
operational activity of white, granulozytic blood cells (shown by Delbet
with magnesium chloride), and contributes to many other functions that
insure the integrity of cellular metabolism.
Without sufficient magnesium, the body accumulates toxins and acid
residues, degenerates rapidly, and ages prematurely. Recent research has
pointed to low glutathione levels being responsible for children’s
vulnerability to mercury poisoning from vaccines.14 It seems more than
reasonable to assume that low levels of magnesium would also render a
child vulnerable. And in fact we find out that glutathione requires
magnesium for its synthesis.15 Glutathione synthetase requires γglutamyl cysteine, glycine, ATP, and magnesium ions to form
glutathione.16 In magnesium deficiency, the enzyme y-glutamyl
transpeptidase is lowered.17 Data demonstrates a direct action of glutathione
both in vivo and in vitro to enhance intracellular magnesium and a clinical
linkage between cellular magnesium, GSH/GSSG ratios, and tissue glucose
metabolism.18 Magnesium deficiency causes glutathione loss, which is not
affordable because glutathione helps to defend the body against damage
from cigarette smoking, exposure to radiation, cancer chemotherapy, and
toxins such as alcohol and just about everything else.
According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, low magnesium is associated with
dramatic increases in free radical generation as well as glutathione depletion
and this is vital since glutathione is one of the few antioxidant molecules
known to neutralize mercury.19 Thus, sadly, children receiving thimerosal
containing vaccines are sitting ducks to mercury when both magnesium and
glutathione levels are low. Also under the shadow of magnesium deficiency
too much Nitric Oxide (NO) is produced which in turn may react with
superoxide to form a very damaging compound peroxynitrite. Low
magnesium levels can induce such excessive NO production that even the
glutathione in the red blood cells is damaged. These could provide some
possible explanations for why magnesium seems to protect the arteries.20
Sodium Bicarbonate
Usually the sodium bicarbonate, is effective, eliminates
the cancer. The effectiveness depends on the size of
the mass andif it is possible to reach it well.
Dr. Tullio Simoncini
Oncologist
Cancer victims do not delay in seeking treatment but they are confused
by the vast alternatives and are victimized by the cancer industry who can
think of nothing better than treatments that cause cancer to cure cancer.
Chemo-therapy is sourced in World War One mustard gas technology and
radiation therapy is for all intent and purpose a therapy straight out of the
depths of hell. Sodium bicarbonate is at the absolute other side of the
universe from the “slash and burn” nightmare therapies. The cancer drug
Velcade, which can cost $48,000 a patient and comes with a long list of
terrible side effects stands next to safe and more effective sodium
bicarbonate whose cost for treatment could not be over fifty dollars for the
bicarbonate for several months supply.
The extracellular (interstitial) pH (pHe) of solid tumours is significantly
more acidic compared to normal tissues.21 In-vitro, low pH reduces the
uptake of weakly basic chemotherapeutic drugs and, hence, reduces their
cytotoxicity. This phenomenon has been postulated to contribute to a
'physiological' resistance to weakly basic drugs in vivo. Doxorubicin is a
weak base chemotherapeutic agent that is commonly used in combination
chemotherapy to clinically treat breast cancers. This report demonstrates
that MCF-7 human breast cancer cells in vitro are more susceptible to
doxorubicin toxicity at pH 7.4, compared to pH 6.8. Furthermore 31Pmagnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has shown that the pHe of MCF-7
human breast cancer xenografts can be effectively and significantly
raised with sodium bicarbonate in drinking water. The bicarbonateinduced extracellular alkalinization leads to significant improvements in the
therapeutic effectiveness of doxorubicin against MCF-7 xenografts in vivo.
Although physiological resistance to weakly basic chemotherapeutics is
well-documented in vitro and in theory, these data represent the first in vivo
demonstration of this important phenomenon.22
Sodium bicarbonate, a common emergency room medicine, acts as a
powerful, natural and safe antifungal agent, which when combined with
iodine, covers the entire spectrum of microbial organisms. The efficacy of
sodium bicarbonate against certain bacteria and fungi has been documented
but its role as a disinfectant against viruses is not generally known. Sodium
bicarbonate at concentrations of 5% and above was found to be effective
with 99.99% reduction viral titers on food contact surfaces within a contact
time of 1 min.23
In 1999 Meinolf Karthaus, MD, watched three different children
with leukemia suddenly go into remission upon receiving a
triple antifungal drug cocktail for their "secondary" fungal infections.24
“Fungal infections not only can be extremely contagious, but they also
go hand in hand with leukemia25 -- every oncologist knows this. And these
infections are devastating: once a child who has become a bone marrow
transplant recipient gets a "secondary" fungal infection, his chances of
living, despite all the antifungals in the world, are only 20%, at best,” writes
Dr. David Holland. Dr. Holland is talking about pharmaceutical antifungal
agents, not about sodium bicarbonate, which until the arrival of Dr. Tullio
Simoncini, was not known or used for fungal infections.
Sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride, and calcium
chloride are used to maintain pH and electrolytes
within normal values in intensive care units.
“The therapeutic treatment of bicarbonate salts
can be administered orally, through aerosol, intravenously and through
catheter for direct targeting of tumors.” All of Dr. Tullio Simoncini’s
treatments with sodium bicarbonate are directed as specifically as possible
to the organs involved, for example, vaginally as well as abdominally into
the peritoneal space for cervical cancer, through the hepatic artery for liver
cancer in order to get the solution as close to the affected area as possible.
Sodium bicarbonate administered orally, via aerosol or intravenously can
achieve positive results only in some tumours, while others – such as the
serious ones of the brain or the bones - remain unaffected by the treatment.
Dr. Simoncini, with the help of interventionist radiologists, was able to
reach those areas of the body that had previously been inaccessible. This
was achieved through positioning appropriate catheters either in cavities for
peritoneum and pleura, or in arteries to reach other organs.26
The essential basic of this therapy is to bring the
Sodium Bicarbonate as close as possible to the tumor.
Dr. Tullio Simoncini
Dr. Simoncini states, “At the moment, against fungi there is no useful
remedy other than, in my opinion, sodium bicarbonate. The anti-fungins that
are currently on the market, in fact, do not have the ability to penetrate the
masses (except perhaps early administrations of azoli or of amfotercin B
delivered parenterally), since they are conceived to act only at a stratified
level of epithelial type. In order to achieve the most detrimental effect on
the tumors, the sodium bicarbonate must be put in direct contact with the
damaged tissue. It is also possible to put specific catheters (port-a-cath) in
the arteries that run to the different conventional endoscope methods.
Furthermore there can be used clysters, drip infusions, irrigations and
infiltrations at the places where the tumor has grown.”
Iodine
Several studies have demonstrated a relationship
between low iodine intake and fibrocystic disease of the
breast (FDB), both in women and laboratory animals.27
The first thing that happens to a woman when she develops an iodine
deficiency is a problem with her reproductive organs: breast deformation,
and general calcification. Dr. David Derry said, “Lugol's solution is an
iodine-in-water solution used by the medical profession for 200 years. One
drop (6.5 mg per drop) of Lugol's daily in water, orange juice or milk will
gradually eliminate the first phase of the cancer development namely
fibrocystic disease of the breast so no new cancers can start. It also will kill
abnormal cells floating around in the body at remote sites from the original
cancer. Of course this approach appears to work for prostate cancer as
prostate cancer is similar to breast cancer in many respects. Indeed, it likely
will help with most cancers. Also higher doses of iodine are required for
inflammatory breast cancer. As well we know that large doses of
intravenous iodine are harmless which makes one wonder what effect this
would have on cancer growth.”
Because iodine deficiency results in increased iodine trapping
by the thyroid, iodine deficient individuals of all ages
are more susceptible to radiation-induced thyroid cancer.
Iodine plays a crucial role in the body’s elimination system by inducing
apoptosis, or what is called programmed cell death, and this is vital because
this process is essential to growth and development and for destroying cells
that represent a threat to the integrity of the organism, like cancer cells and
cells infected with viruses.
Women with goiters (a visible, non-cancerous enlargement of
the thyroid gland) owing to iodine deficiency have been found
to have a three times greater incidence of breast cancer.
A high intake of iodine is associated with a low incidence breast
cancer, and a low intake with a high incidence of breast cancer.
Dr. Donald Miller Jr.
Thus we should not be surprised when oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini
states, “Every tumour of the skin can be completely removed with Iodine
Tincture 7%, brushed many times (10-20) a day. When the crust is formed,
don’t take it away, but treat the area continuously and wait until it falls
without any other intervention except the Iodine tincture. When the crust
falls down the third time, the patient is healed.”
One of the principle reasons iodine is so effective for skin cancer is that,
according to Dr. Simoncini, skins cancers are caused by Candida fungus
which has adapted itself to metabolising the most proteinaceous constituents
of the epidermis and that therefore only rarely can it be treated with sodium
bicarbonate solutions.
There is growing evidence that Americans would have better health and a
lower incidence of cancer and fibrocystic disease of the breast if they
consumed more iodine. A decrease in iodine intake coupled with an
increased consumption of competing halogens, fluoride and
bromide, has created an epidemic of iodine deficiency in America.
Dr. Donald Miller Jr.
A newly discovered oxidant defense system is found in the free radical
scavenging capacity of thyroid hormones Thyroxine, reverse-T3 and
iodothyronines seem to be important as antioxidants and inhibitors of lipid
peroxidation28,29 and is more effective than vitamin E, glutathione and
ascorbic acid.30 Doctors involved in the chelation of children with
neurological conditions need to take notice and start treating them with
iodine as a primary not secondary form of treatment.
The ductal cells in the breast, the ones most likely to become cancerous,
are equipped with an iodine pump (the sodium iodine symporter, the
same one that the thyroid gland has) to soak up this element.31
Dr. Donald Miller
The absence of iodine in the thyroid causes goiter.32 Goiter is associated
with breast cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, ovarian cancer and
endometrial cancer. It is felt by some researchers that the absence of iodine
is a promoter of cancer. Is it such a fantastic leap to conclude that iodine has
its place in the treatment of cancer? Survival Medicine suggests that iodine
be used in all cancer treatments as a systemic medicine, not just topically for
breast cancer, and as we shall see far below, also in the treatment of
diabetes. For many of the same reasons iodine is effective for skin cancers it
would be effective in helping combat cancers of all types.
Iodine is a well known topical germicidal agent effective against a
wide spectrum of organisms including bacteria, fungi and protozoa.
Iodine exhibits good activity against bacteria, molds, yeasts, protozoa,
and many viruses; indeed, of all antiseptic preparations suitable for direct
use on humans and animals and upon tissues, only iodine is capable of
killing all classes of pathogens: gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria,
mycobacteria, fungi, yeasts, viruses and protozoa. Most bacteria are killed
within 15 to 30 seconds of contact.
Iodine's ability to trigger natural cell death (apoptosis) makes it effective
against all pre-cancerous skin lesions and likely many cancerous lesions.
Dr. David Derry
Though oral magnesium supplementation is recommended by many for
the treatment of fibroid disorders no one has thought of applying
magnesium transdermally to the breasts or to the skin to either treat or
prevent such cancers from occurring. A personal friend of mine had severe
fibroid disease in her breasts and I suggested that she apply what is knows
as Magnesium Oil (natural magnesium chloride solution) to her breasts. A
month later she called me and said her problem resolved completely.
A Harvard thesis has shown a connection between water fluoridation
and a 700% increase in osteosarcoma in young men if they are
exposed to fluoridated water during their 6th to 8th years.33
Dr. Paul Connett
A couple of mgs of iodine daily will cure iodine deficiency in a person
with adequate gut absorption powers. This will allow them to utilize their
proteins; however it will not mean that they have full body iodine
sufficiency in tissues such as breast, uterus, prostate, skin, saliva glands,
stomach, colon, choroid plexus, and eye. It will also not assure that a thyroid
whose receptor space is taken up with another halogen, such as bromine or
fluorine, will have a full sufficiency of iodine for hormone production.
There are actually four halogens: iodine, bromine, fluorine and chlorine.
All these halogens use the same receptors in the body. Therefore if a
person’s diet is deficient in iodine the iodine receptors in the thyroid and
stomach, for example, may fill up with bromine which is common in grains,
bleached flour, sodas, nuts and oils as well as several plant foods. Iodine is
depleted by bromine, which is used as a spray on fruits and vegetables, in
baked goods, as a fumigant, and in Prozac, Paxil and many other
pharmaceutical drugs. Chlorine, fluorine, and fluoride are chemically related
to iodine, and compete with it, blocking iodine receptors in the thyroid
gland.
Dr. David Brownstein says that fluoride inhibits the ability of the thyroid
gland to concentrate iodine and research has shown that fluoride is much
more toxic to the body when there is iodine deficiency present. When
iodine is supplemented the excretion rate of the toxic halides bromide,
fluoride and perchlorate is greatly enhanced. Brownstein says that after only
one dose of iodine the excretion of fluoride increased by 78% and this is
very important for those who are drinking fluoridated water or are taking
medicines with fluoride in them; bromide excretion rates increased by 50%.
Our environment is loaded with the toxic halides bromine and fluorine and
up to now we have had no way to detoxify the body of these thyroid
poisons.
Alpha Lipoic Acid and Glutathione
Alpha lipoic acid has been shown to protect against,
or reverse, the adverse health effects of mycotoxins.34
Since it is soluble in both water and fat, ALA can move into all parts of
the cell to neutralize free radicals. Vitamin C, on the other hand, is limited
to the watery parts of cells because it is soluble only in water; while vitamin
E is soluble only in fat and sticks to the fatty parts of cells. ALA interferes
with the biochemical and physical damage caused by free radicals
because it recycles and generates additional glutathione as well as
vitamin C and E thus preventing deficiencies. According to the National
Cancer Institute considerable laboratory evidence from chemical, cell
culture, and animal studies indicates that antioxidants may slow or possibly
prevent the development of cancer.
Of all the antioxidants, glutathione is one of the most important and a
later chapter is devoted to this vital enzyme. Made up of three amino acids
(cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid), glutathione is part of the antioxidant
enzyme glutathione peroxidase and is the major liver antioxidant. Not
surprisingly, extremely low levels of glutathione are found in people
suffering from severe OS. People with AIDS, cancer and Parkinson's
disease, for example, typically have very low glutathione levels.
Glutathione is the most important intracellular antioxidant. It appears as
if this substance must be assembled within the cell to be effective.
Glutathione, along with selenium, forms enzyme systems that defend the
body against the cancer-causing free radical products of oxidative stress.
White blood cells require high levels of glutathione to destroy invading
microorganisms and kill cancer cells. In normal human white blood cells
and cultured cancer cells, Alpha Lipoic Aacid had been demonstrated to
increase the production of and recycle glutathione.
Glutathione plays several roles in cancer. It prevents cancer, protecting
DNA from damage by detoxifying harmful chemicals and removing them
from the body. Low glutathione levels predispose people to cancer. Patients
with a variety of malignant disorders were found to have a markedly
lowered plasma glutathione level. Glutathione also fights cancer. It
selectively stimulates apoptosis (cell death) of malignant cells while leaving
healthy cells unaffected. It does this by regulating the tumor suppressor
protein p53. Under normal conditions the p53 protein senses DNA damage
in a cell and slows the rate of cell division, giving the cell time to repair
itself. If the DNA cannot be repaired, p53 tells the cell to kill itself
(apoptosis). Treatment with glutathione may reverse the cancer process.
Various studies have shown glutathione reverses development of
neuroblastoma, cervical carcinoma, leukemia, and other cancers.
“Free radical damage actually decreases the amount of energy produced
in the cell because it interfere whit the integrity of the mitochondrial
membranes where the energy is produced. The organs containing damaged
mitochondria cease to function normally and lose their energy reserves.
When the damage occurs in the pancreas, it may lead to diabetes. When it
takes place in the heart, coronary heart disease may result,” writes Dr. Burt
Berkson.
A very recent study of children living in the area affected by the
Chernobyl disaster showed that ALA prevents radiation damage. 35 This
is more important than most think especially since the United States has
used its depleted uranium weapons on several battlefields. It is also very
important because the rising tide of mercury and other toxic chemicals is
threatening the environment and everything in it. Though the government
has used epidemiologic studies to dismiss the relationship between mercury
and autism many scientists see it very differently. The need for a safe
chelator of mercury and a range of other toxic metals and chemicals cannot
be understated. It is simply imperative in the age of toxicity.
Selenium
Selenium is much more effective in the presence of alpha
lipoic acid because ALA increases the production
of selenium’s cancer-fighting partner glutathione.
Dr. Burt Berkson
According to the National Foundation for Cancer Research the value of
minerals as part of an anticancer diet is frequently overlooked and if you
have not notices everything mentioned here except the ALA are minerals.
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient with important biological and
biochemical functions in organisms because of its unique antioxidant
properties and its ability to regulate thyroid gland metabolism. It is well
known that Se is an antagonist that moderates the toxic effects of many
heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead in organisms
Data suggests that a diet rich in selenium protects against cancers of the
stomach, breast, esophagus, lung, prostate, colon, and rectum. According to
Dr. Harold Foster death rates in the USA for cancer are lower when
blood selenium levels are high. One important study found that high blood
levels of selenium are associated with a four- to fivefold decrease in the risk
of prostate cancer. Scientists at Stanford University studied 52 men who had
prostate cancer and compared them to 96 men who didn’t.36 One surprising
finding was that blood levels of selenium generally decreased with age. It is
well known that the risk of prostate cancer increases dramatically as one
ages.
Those who have studied geographical differences have seen that in lowselenium regions, higher death rates occurred from malignant lymphomas
and cancers of the tongue, esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, liver,
pancreas, larynx, lung, kidneys and bladder. In addition, cancer patients
with low selenium levels tend to have a wider spread of the disease, more
recurrences and die sooner.37
In China, where the selenium levels in the soils varies much more
dramatically than in the United States and the population is less mobile, an
ecological study in 1985 showed dramatic results in linking cancer with
selenium deficiencies. Dr. Shu-Yu Yu measured the selenium content of
blood stored in blood banks in 30 different regions in China, and classified
the regions as high selenium, medium selenium, and low selenium. They
then compared death rates from cancer to the selenium rates and found there
was an exact correlation. In the low selenium classification, three times as
many people died from cancer as in the high selenium classification.
The West African country of Senegal is dominated by high
concentrations of selenium in the soil and thus in their foods, and as
expected, we find that Senegalese males had the world’s lowest rates for
cancer of the trachea, bronchus and lung; stomach and colon; the fourth
lowest for prostate cancer and sixth lowest for esophageal cancer.
Senegalese women had the lowest incidence of cancers of the trachea,
bronchus, lung, esophagus, stomach and colon and second lowest for breast
cancer and fifth lowest for cancer of the uterus.
Selenium helps stop damaged DNA molecules from reproducing,
meaning it acts to prevent tumors from developing. “It contributes towards
the death of cancerous and pre-cancer cells. Their death appears to occur
before they replicate, thus helping stop cancer before it gets started,” says
Dr. James Howenstine in A Physician’s Guide to Natural Health Products
That Work.
A 1996 study by Dr. Larry Clark of the University of Arizona showed
just how effective selenium can be in protecting against cancer. In the study
of 1,300 older people, the occurrence of cancer among those who took 200
micrograms of selenium daily for about seven years was reduced by 42
percent compared to those given a placebo. Cancer deaths for those taking
the selenium were cut almost in half, according to the study that was
published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on December
25, 1996. In addition, the people who had taken selenium had 63 percent
fewer prostate cancers, 58 percent fewer colorectal cancers, 46 percent
fewer lung cancers and overall 37% fewer cancers. Selenium was found to
reduce the risk of lung cancer to a greater degree than stopping smoking.38
Heavy Metals and Cancer Treatment
Tim Wilson, the president of Science Formulas has used the Magnesium
Oil on his skin cancer and has recommended it to others because it resolved
his skin cancer and he has seen it do the same in everyone he has
recommended it to. Iodine applied via the vagina has been said to soften the
breasts in minutes so iodine and magnesium chloride applied together
through transdermal means would be the perfect duo in our fight against
both breast and skin cancer. With the addition of the sodium bicarbonate
treatments of Dr. Simoncini we have what could be considered the holy
trinity in skin and breast cancer treatments.
When it comes to breast cancer, even before one considers injecting
bicarbonate into the deeper tissues, one should immediately begin painting
the breasts once a day with iodine as Dr. Simoncini suggests. At the other
end of the day or after the iodine penetrates into the tissues, apply a natural
magnesium chloride solution and leave on for at least forty minutes. This
can be done twice a day and then one can take an intense bath in sodium
bicarbonate, take it orally several times a day, or even apply it directly to the
tissues and surrounding areas like the underarms.
Cancer tissues have a much higher concentration of
toxic chemicals, pesticides, etc then do healthy tissues.
In 1973, a study conducted by the Department of Occupational Health at
Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem found that when
cancerous breast tissue is compared with non-cancerous tissue from
elsewhere in the same woman's body, the concentration of toxic chemicals
such as DDT and PCBs was "much increased in the malignant tissue
compared to the normal breast and adjacent adipose tissue."39 This should
say something to the oncologists of the world about chemical etiologies that
are going undiagnosed and untreated.
Part of any successful cancer treatment includes chelation and
detoxification of heavy metals and a host of toxic chemicals, which are all
invading our bodies’ everyday. It is literally raining mercury, uranium
contamination is increasing, lead we are discovering is even more toxic than
anyone ever believed and is even in the bread that we eat, arsenic is in our
chicken, the government still wants you to get your yearly mercury flu shot,
dentists of course are still using hundreds of tons of mercury exposing
patients to internalized toxic waste dumps (mercury vapors from hell),
fluoride is still put in the water and chlorine is breathed in most showers.
This just covers a small slice of the toxic disaster that is the hallmark of life
in the 21st century. But oncologists have just not been able to understand
that cancer patients are suffering from poisoning on a massive scale
with all the chemicals scientists have already established cause cancer.
Mercury is invisible in vapor form but we have to see that it’s raining
mercury, literally. The FDA says it’s everywhere and for once they are right
about something. People with mercury fillings have literal VAPORS
FROM HELL in their mouths, fumes from their mercury dental fillings
that rise up from their teeth 24/7 with more powerful bursts when chewing
or drinking hot fluids. These vapors play havoc on the body through a host
of means the least of which is to feed the bacteria,40 fungi and yeasts that
thrive on mercury. Mercury will promote the growth of Candida, though as
it adsorbs the mercury it thereby protects the system to a certain extent from
its toxicity. Candida cannot be effectively dealt with without dealing
with the dental issues. This is not an optional appraoch, but necessarily
part of the primary approach.
There are poisonous time bombs going off in billions of mouths
and few in medicine and dentistry are aware of it. Why dentistry did
not study mercury chemistry before 1000’s of tons were implanted
two inches from the brain and why allopathic medicine did not
scream out warnings are questions we will be asking for a long time?
When we look at the fungal and yeast infections that are an integral
aspect of cancer we should begin to understand the desperate need to
include chelation of mercury in each and every cancer treatment. Mercury
fed candida become more and more virulent and eventually penetrate and
root into the intestinal walls and invade the cells. These fungal
microorganisms become quite at home in the cell, and can easily be
considered a principle characteristic of cancer. Survival Medicine has a
two hundred page section on cancer and its treatment with sodium
bicarbonate, which is proving to be effective against cancer because it is
lethal to yeasts and fungi growths.
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt and others have long observed that patients
diagnosed with chronic viral illnesses (EBV, CMV, HIV, herpes zoster and
genital herpes, CFIDS etc.), chronic fungal illnesses (Candidiasis and
others) and recurrent episodes of bacterial infections (chronic sinusitis,
tonsillitis, bronchitis, bladder/prostate infections, HIV related infections)
often have dramatic recoveries following an aggressive amalgam
detoxification program. Detrimental accumulation of mercury from
amalgam fillings lowers immunity through a depletion of beneficial,
antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase, superoxidedismutase
and catalase as well as the vital mineral seleinium, which chemically is the
best antidote to mercuy contamination.
The amount of persistent organic pollutants in each person's body
is a reflection of their diet, where they live, what the concentration
of these substances is in the air they breathe, and probably
related to how rapidly they metabolize these compounds.
Dr. David Carpenter
Mercury vapors in the mouth that spread mercury to all points in the
body, increased use of antiboitics, periodontal disease, inappropriate oral
care, yeast and fungal overgrowth, and decreasing immune strength are all
colliding and reinforcing each other in a downward spiral that leads to
chronic diseases and cancer. Most people and certainly dentists are surprised
to find out that more often than not this all starts out in the mouth.
The list of organisms that have the highest affinity for toxic metals
reads like a "who's who" of our typical human infectious diseases:
fungi of the candida species, streptococci, staphylococci, amoebas, etc.
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt
The removal of heavy metals is so important to prevent cancer from
returning that we employ a stand alone natural chelation system, which is
based on ALA and many other necessary substances like vitamin C and
selenium, both of which are crucial in cancer treatment. Our chosen formula
for natural chelation for cancer treatments is Chelorex because it strongly
stimulates glutathione production.
Survival Medicine’s healing substances come
from both allopathic and Naturopathic
medicine but they are all in Naturopathic form.
Prolude to Cancer
Industrial Pollution Begins in the Womb
Humanity is traveling down a deadly path. Awaiting each and every
child born on the planet is a life doomed to being poisoned. There is
"overwhelming evidence that every child, no matter where in the world he
or she is born, will be exposed, not only from birth, but from conception, to
man-made chemicals that can undermine the child's ability to reach its
fullest potential -- chemicals that interfere with the natural chemicals that
tell tissues how to develop and construct healthy, whole individuals
according to the genes they inherited from their mothers and fathers," says
Dr. Theo Colborn, Senior Program Scientist, at the World Wildlife Fund.
As our knowledge about the etiology of disease progresses the
evidence for environmental contributions to disease grows.
Physicians for Social
Responsibility
No one really knows how much of any given chemical, much less a
mixture of chemicals, could affect a human fetus but we do know that
growing children are particularly at risk to chemicals in their environment
because they face greater exposure and are physiologically more
susceptible. They ingest more food/water per pound of body weight than
adults and the little ones live closer to the ground and put things in their
mouths. Now, in the year 2005, we learn that the unborn are being exposed
to the background contamination and pollution of the world and from the
hazardous drugs and vaccines given to their mothers during pregnancy.
Babies are not being protected in the womb. Fetuses are under attack from
hundreds of industrial chemicals, pollutants and pesticides that are pumped
back and forth from mother to baby through umbilical cord blood. Cord
blood41 reflects what the mother passes to the baby through the placenta.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) from Washington DC
commissioned laboratory tests of 10 American Red Cross cord blood
samples.42 The group found that the babies averaged 200 contaminants in
their blood. The pollutants included mercury, fire retardants, pesticides and
the Teflon chemical PFOA. In total, the babies' blood had 287 chemicals,
including 209 never before detected in cord blood.
Besides the pesticides, chemicals from two widely used household
products - Teflon and Scotchgard - were found in every baby tested.
Toxic elements found in infants' cord blood
76 chemicals that cause cancer in humans or animals.
94 that are toxic to the brain and nervous system.
79 that cause birth defects or abnormal development in animal tests.
Found were polyaromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, which are produced
by burning gasoline and garbage and which may cause cancer; flameretardant chemicals called polybrominated dibenzodioxins and furans.
Among the most pervasive pesticides found: 4,4'-DDE a contaminant and
byproduct of DDT, banned in the United States in 1972 but still used in
other parts of the world to control mosquitoes; hexachlorobenzene, a
fungicide widely used on wheat until 1965 when chemical giants Bayer and
Dow voluntarily discontinued production of the likely carcinogen; and
Dieldrin, routinely used on corn and cotton until banned in 1974 except for
treatment of termites. Pesticides are toxic by design and meant to kill weeds,
insects, rodents and other pest organisms; they do so by impairing the
nervous and immune system function. Many pesticides and their byproducts
(which include PCBs) are highly toxic, persistent and bioaccumulative in
humans. Because our nervous system shares basic physiology with other
living things, pesticides harm the human nervous and immune systems. New
safe Bio pesticides are now on the market that are completely non-toxic, and
can be used instead of toxic pesticides to control pests, but no one thinks it
important enough to use them.
The average annual rate of childhood leukemia
has risen almost 1% a year from 1977 to 1995.
National Cancer Institute
The authors of the above study said, "Had we tested for a broader array
of chemicals, we would almost certainly have detected far more than 287.
But testing umbilical cord blood for industrial chemicals is technically
challenging. Chemical manufacturers are not required to divulge to the
public or government health officials methods to detect their chemicals in
humans." Another study published in Feb of 2005 calculated that the U.S.
loses $8.7 billion annually due to the impact of mercury alone on children's
brain development. The peer-reviewed study by the Mount Sinai School of
Medicine's Center for Children's Health and the Environment was published
by the National Institutes of Health journal, Environmental Health
Perspectives.43 Before they take their first breath, as many as 600,000 babies
may suffer permanent brain damage from their mothers' exposure to
mercury pollution," said Susan Marmagas, MPH, director of Physicians for
Social Responsibility's Environment and Health Program. "The damage has
personal consequences for these children, but now we see that it also has
enormous implications for the national economy." The study showed that
babies born to women taking antidepressants in the last three months of
pregnancy were three times more likely to develop drug-related symptoms
than those born to women who did not use the drugs.
To know that we are bringing our children to a
chemical slaughtering house is deeply unsettling.
Developmental disabilities such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD), dyslexia and uncontrollable aggression currently affect
an estimated 12 million U.S. children under age 18 -- almost one child in
five. And this is just part of the accumulating story that is building as the
chemicals are becoming more and more concentrated in the children. In the
United States we are witnessing a drop off of intelligence, IQ and grades in
standardized tests. If the cumulative effects of environmental toxicants
reduced the average American's IQ by just a few points the cost to society is
staggering in terms of lost creativity.44 In all likelihood it is not just the one
in 166 children with autism and the one in five with the full range of
neurological disorders who are being affected but all our children are
bending under the weight of chemical poisons that the prostituted FDA
loves to approve as safe for human consumption. Studies by Greenpeace in
India and a study of Mexican children exposed to pesticides found impaired
memory, creativity and motor skills compared to an unexposed population.
The pesticide exposed children had trouble drawing an ordinary stick figure
of a human, something the unexposed children could readily do.45
It is now estimated that one in three children born in 2000 will have
diabetes
in their lives -- this makes it soon-to-be the most prevalent chronic
disease.
Dr. Francine Kaufman
Professor of Pediatrics, Keck School of
Medicine
Scientists are just starting to show what the effects of some of these
chemicals are though they should have a long time ago. What else could
have explained the near doubling of the percentage of children with
limitations of activity due to chronic illness between the years 1960 and
1984? Now we are seeing papers published like in the journal
Environmental Health Perspectives that finds that the more a mother is
exposed to the chemicals, called phthalates (THAL-ates), the greater the
chance her boy's reproductive development will be harmed. The study
shows that pregnant mothers exposed to high but common levels of a widely
used ingredient in cosmetics, fragrances, plastics and paints can produce
baby boys with smaller genitals and incomplete testicular descent. Prof
Shanna Swan of the University of Rochester, New York, and colleagues in
America and Denmark assert strongly, "The public health implications are
enormous."46
According to a study conducted by the University of North Carolina
(October 2004), 21% of women of childbearing age have mercury levels in
their hair that exceeds federal health standards.47 Under United States
guidelines, 79 per cent of Inuvik women of childbearing age have unsafe
levels of mercury.48 Earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration issued a directive warning women of childbearing age to eat
no more than two meals or 12 ounces of seafood, including canned tuna,
weekly. That directive was based in part on the work of a U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency biochemist, Kathryn Mahaffey, who
estimates that one in six pregnant women in the United States had high
enough blood mercury to damage her child, for a total of 630,000 U.S.
newborns at risk.49 This was the first study to calculate the numbers based
on children's blood levels, not the mother's. The new formula showed that
one of six pregnant women had mercury levels in their blood of at least 3.5
parts per billion, sufficient for levels in the fetus to reach or surpass the EPA
safety threshold of 5.8 parts per billion. In 1999-2000, the last year for
which government data is available, this meant that 630,000 children were
at risk instead of the original estimate of 320,000. According to Dr. Sandra
Steingraber, "The EPA has taken pains not to adopt the 630,000 figure as its
official position. Calculated by EPA scientist Kathryn Mahaffey, these new
estimates were published in Environmental Health Perspectives, April
2004."50
In women of reproductive age, it is important to diagnose
overexposure to mercury even if the patient herself is asymptomatic
due to the serious developmental neurotoxicity of this metal
Steuerwald 2000
The EPA analysis is showing a clear and present danger from mercury
because even when the mother is below the danger zone, a woman can give
birth to a baby that's over the limit because recent research has shown that
the umbilical cord can have an average mercury concentration 1.7 times as
great as the concentration in the mother's blood.51 Dr. Sandra Steingraber
describes the particular vulnerability of children when it comes to mercury
poisoning saying, "The placenta, which works well to bar pathogens from
entering the womb, does a terrible job of keeping methylmercury out. In
fact, the placenta actively pumps mercury into the fetal capillaries as though
it were a precious molecule of calcium or iodine. This is why levels of
mercury in the blood of a newborn typically exceed those of its mother by
70 percent."52
It is exactly at this point where humanity is most vulnerable to mercury's
devastating power and this seems to be showing up in huge numbers of
children with neurological and developmental disorders. Is it purely a
coincidence that today one in five children are known to have some kind of
neurological or learning disorder or are we seeing a direct correlation
between mercury and a flood tide of problems in the current generation of
children? Dr. John Risher of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry and Dr. Sherlita Amler of the CDC affirm that significant exposure
to all forms of mercury (elemental/metallic and both inorganic and organic
compounds) can result in a variety of adverse health effects, including
neurological, renal, respiratory, immune, dermatologic, reproductive, and
developmental sequellae.53 Yet neither the CDC nor anyone else in
allopathic medicine advocates the immediate elimination of thimerosal from
vaccines or an emergency reduction in mercury power plant emissions.
All forms of mercury are toxic to the fetus, but
methylmercury most readily passes through the placenta.
Even with an asymptomatic patient, maternal exposure
can lead to spontaneous abortion or retardation.
Dr. Barry Diner
While medical authorities would like us to believe that child mortality has
decreased dramatically over the course of the last few decades thanks to
their vaccines and other medical services, the number of children suffering
from diagnosed learning disabilities, diabetes, asthma, and autism has gone
way up. "We have almost 20 percent of our children now in this country
chronically ill or disabled. That's a very different situation from what it was
20 or 30 years ago, and there's no explanation given by the public health
authorities as to why that is true," says Barbara Loe Fisher, president of the
National Vaccine information Center. But we have been deceived for more
than 75 infants die each day across the USA, according to data from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On average, seven of every
1,000 American babies die before age 1. The USA ranks 29th in the world
in infant mortality.54 For the trillion and a half dollars now spent on medical
care, it is obvious that something is seriously wrong and getting worse and
medical authorities are turning a blind eye or showing an ignorance of basic
medicine that is unbelievable.
What little research that exists in this area has shown that
chemical exposure in the womb can be dramatically more
harmful than exposure later in life.55
We have reached a milestone in human history and there should be little
doubt that the pharmaceutical and chemical companies should pay the price
for sacrificing children on the altar of their high profits. The men and
women of these companies dealing in the commerce of chemical poisons
have succeeded beyond their wildish dreams and have managed to poison
everyone, especially in the United State where they have managed to
concentrate the most chemicals in the environment. We must make it the
highest priority in society to put an end to the kind of corporate behavior
that promotes a culture of death, a culture of poisonous drugs, poison
products, poison producing industries, and poisonous people who get up in
front of microphones telling the public there is nothing to worry about.
Babies are soaking in a stew of chemicals and the
medical
community is caught without a clue to knowing what to
do.
So unaware are medical officials and doctors to this nightmare in
progress that they can't wait for the babies to be born so they can poison
them more. "A cascade of non-communicable, incurable chronic conditions
assails soaring numbers of society's littlest and most vulnerable members,
stoking suspicions that at least some of the damage may stem from the very
strategies intended to secure their health,'' wrote Lidia Wasowicz for United
Press International in 2005. We are in reality beginning to see evidence of
the complete bankruptcy of the allopathic medical system especially in the
field of pediatrics and obstetrics, which together have not the slightest clue
as to what to do except poison the little ones with their vaccines, antibiotics,
and aggressive birthing procedures. Pediatric medicine is hazardous to
children's lives and general state of well being.
A multisite study sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH) finds children with autism characterized by tantrums,
aggression, and/or self-injury respond favorably to the
antipsychotic medication risperidone for up to six months.56
This could easily be translated into "children with mercury and other
chemical poisoning, who are characterized by tantrums and aggression,
respond favorably to more toxins (toxic drug with serious side effects)
added to their blood streams." Is this really the smartest medical strategy the
allopathic universe can come up with? We parents have to wake up to the
dramatic threat because our pediatricians are not paying any attention to
how our children are being chemically damaged. Denial of the problem at
this point has passed clearly into medical malpractice for there are things
that can be done immediately to reduce toxic exposure and treatments that
can be initiated that pediatricians are not doing. Naturopathic doctors are
ready to address the problem with natural healing agents that are pure and
completely non-toxic and this is what we need in an increasingly toxic
world.
The CDC, on the other hand, is constantly throwing out red herrings to
keep parents off center and unaware of the true threat to their children. It is
not the flu virus or the Hepatitis B virus or any of the old infectious diseases
that should scare the wits out of parents when their children are being
poisoned from the moment of their conception. They should be afraid of the
EPA, FDA, the CDC, and the hundreds of thousands of doctors who bow in
faith
to
their
parent
medical
organizations.
The chemical hazard is real and growing and is for all intent and
purposes unavoidable for mothers and their children because the chemicals
are present like a background radiation cloud. Our planet has become like a
giant gas chamber and our kids and the fetuses in the womb are absorbing
more than their fair share of it. For a fetus in utero and the newborn today it
is like the charge up the slopes of the Balaclava Heights.57 But instead of
cannon everywhere there is mercury and other hostile chemicals and drugs.
Through a valley of toxicity each baby must navigate.
It is a terrible situation we find ourselves in, terrible that certain people,
corporations, medical organizations and governments have insured that our
children will be poisoned. Chemical cruelties toward children are serious
crimes that should be punished with new laws designed to protect the
children and the unborn. We live in a crucial moment and it is our souls
which will stand in judgment of what we will or will not do to protect the
children. If we want to stand before God knowing we have allowed our race
to be chemically damned by the chemical and pharmaceutical companies
and by the medical officials and doctors who have no courage to see and
address the truth of what is going on, God help our souls. Hell is the place
where fetuses and infants are poisoned. Hell is a place where doctors and
medical officials are so ignorant of what is going on that they only make
matters worse. And hell is a place where we sit on our rear ends doing
nothing about the chemical nightmare that is becoming every parent's worst
dream.
Beating Back Late Stage Infections
(Cancer & Fungus)
with Sodium Bicarbonate
Over 90, 000 people a year die from
secondary infections in hospitals.
Children with cancer often require pediatric intensive care; and
thanks to such care, many of them have been able to overcome the most
acute phase of Leukemia. Intensive care resources are used even in the
incurable cases, in order to relieve immediate symptoms and improve the
quality of life. Dr. Roberto Sapolnik indicates that the interaction between
the intensive care team and oncologists allows for the solution of extremely
life-threatening situations for children with Leukemia. Intensive care in
children with cancer is crucial for the improvement of survival rates of these
children, with an increasing number of reports on the cure of neoplastic
diseases. It seems like something is being done to these children in the
intensive care wards that is not being explained or understood. Perhaps the
intensive care staff are unwittingly killing off the yeast, fungi and molds
(cancer) that are choking off the life force of these unfortunate children. If
Leukemia turns out to be a fungal infection of white blood cells called
leukocytes then all will be explained.
I remain stunned at the hesitancy of American physicians to try
harmless antifungal approaches for anything but vaginal yeast.
Dr. Doug Kaufmann
Cancer is a biologically-induced
spore (fungus) transformation disease.
Dr. Milton W. White
“Even patients who had been committed to mental hospitals have been
helped by anti-fungal therapy. Other puzzling immunologic diseases,
including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus,
have responded better when attention was given to reduction of yeast and
immune stress. A wide spectrum of allergic disorders, from classical hay
fever to chronic, delayed-onset type of food allergy and petrochemical
sensitivity, have improved following anti-yeast therapy,” says Dr. Elmer M.
Cranton.
When fungal colonization and mycotoxin
contamination is maximal one finds cancer
growing and mestastizing at a maximal rate.
Doctors in general are not very good at diagnosing fungal infections
because their medical school training is based so heavily on the role of
bacteria and viruses in the area of infectious diseases. Fungi have been a
forgotten foe ever since the advent of antibiotics and this is perhaps one of
the biggest mistakes of allopathic medicine for the overuse and or even
occasional use of antibiotics lead directly to deadly fungus infections.
Laboratories display the same difficulty in diagnosing fungal infections:
current tests for detecting the presence of fungi are both terribly scant and
sorely antiquated. This is a serious problem for fungi are late stage
infections that are provoking or accompanying a range of life
threatening diseases.
A strong immune system will defend you against
any disease including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
If the spine, for example, becomes infected with bacteria or fungi, inside
or on the surface of vertebrae, then the entire torso region (region between
neck and waist) may be extremely sore and stiff after being in bed for a
while, and may feel better after taking a hot shower and moving around, yet
may still be sore during the day, especially during a deep breath.
All of the medications proven to be effective in
the treatment of the mycotoxin-induced diseases
possess anti-fungal and/or anti-mycotoxic activity.
Dr. A.V. Costantini
The use of antimicrobial agents (e.g., antibiotics, antiseptics, antifungal)
plays an important part in current medical therapy. This is particularly true
in the fields of dermatology as well as skin and wound antisepsis. Effective
treatments for skin or mucous membranes, which are afflicted with
bacterial, fungal, or viral infections or lesions, frequently include the use of
topical antimicrobial agents. Most antiviral compounds are unsuitable for
topical treatment of these infections because they have limited ability to
penetrate the skin and in truth pharmaceuticals offer little that are effective
for viral infections once they have infected. In the case of AIDS the best the
allopathic empire could come up with is to kill the patient with the most
toxic drugs available.
Inflamation is the first sign and
symptom of infectious process.
Topical compositions containing known antiviral compounds usually fail
to relieve the symptoms such as pain, inflammation and/or itchiness often
associated with dermal viral infections or skin lesions. Further, they fail to
prevent the secondary infection of these lesions by bacteria or fungi,
leading to prolonged disease states. Thus, there is still a need for more
effective antimicrobial agents.
People with weak immune systems (i.e., immunecompromised or immune-suppressed individuals)
are more vulnerable to infections by molds.
Sodium bicarbonate, a common emergency room medicine, acts as a
powerful, natural and safe antifungal agent, which when combined with
iodine, covers the entire spectrum of microbial organisms. The efficacy of
sodium bicarbonate against certain bacteria and fungi has been documented
but its role as a disinfectant against viruses is not generally known. Sodium
bicarbonate at concentrations of 5% and above was found to be effective
with 99.99% reduction viral titers on food contact surfaces within a contact
time of 1 min.58
In 1999 Meinolf Karthaus, MD, watched three different children
with leukemia suddenly go into remission upon receiving a
triple antifungal drug cocktail for their "secondary" fungal infections.59
“Fungal infections not only can be extremely contagious, but they also
go hand in hand with leukemia60 -- every oncologist knows this. And these
infections are devastating: once a child who has become a bone marrow
transplant recipient gets a "secondary" fungal infection, his chances of
living, despite all the antifungals in the world, are only 20%, at best,” writes
Dr. David Holland. Dr. Holland is talking about pharmaceutical antifungal
agents, not about sodium bicarbonate, which until the arrival of Dr. Tullio
Simoncini, was not known or used for fungal infections.
Sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride, and calcium
chloride are used to maintain pH and electrolytes
within normal values in intensive care units.
Dr. Simoncini has made the great discovery that the bicarbonate treats
the cancer and fungus simultaneously resulting in a safe, fast, effective low
cost cure for cancer. Dr. Simoncini deserves the highest award in medical
science for his genius and medical courage in discovering and developing
what might come to be seen as the single greatest medical breakthrough of
the century. Literally billions of people are going to owe him a debt of
eternal gratitude. Simoncini makes the connection that fungal colonies and
cancer colonies are the same colonies called by two different names.
Interestingly in 1931, Dr. Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize in
science for his discovery that cancer cells rapidly proliferated in the
presence of fermented sugar. Now we can understand more fully the
connection between cancer and fungal colonies for ironically fungal cells
also proliferate rapidly under the same conditions. Fungi feed on sugar.
Cancer feeds on sugar.
The essential basic of this therapy is to bring the
Sodium Bicarbonate as close as possible to the tumor.
Dr. Tullio Simoncini
Dr. Simoncini states, “At the moment, against fungi there is no useful
remedy other than, in my opinion, sodium bicarbonate. The anti-fungins that
are currently on the market, in fact, do not have the ability to penetrate the
masses (except perhaps early administrations of azoli or of amfotercin B
delivered parenterally), since they are conceived to act only at a stratified
level of epithelial type. In order to achieve the most detrimental effect on
the tumors, the sodium bicarbonate must be put in direct contact with the
damaged tissue. It is also possible to put specific catheters (port-a-cath) in
the arteries that run to the different conventional endoscope methods.
Furthermore there can be used clysters, drip infusions, irrigations and
infiltrations at the places where the tumor has grown.”
Cancer is one of the most maligned and misunderstood
diseases of the past millennium. There is also reason
to believe it is one of the most misdiagnosed maladies.
Dr. Doug A. Kaufmann
Dr. MJ Dvmanov, a professor of medical mycology says, “A disease
caused by a fungal mold is called a mycosis. Often a fungal infection, a
mycosis, abcess or a fibroid immune response to the presence of fungal
mold is called a cancer. Two of my recent studies involved a 26 year old
female with a large mold growth in her left lung that required surgical
removal and a 65 year old male with a brain "cancer" that was later
diagnosed as being 2 different fungal mold growths. Mold produces many
toxins and exposure to some molds result in a cancer or unnatural cell
growth both hyperplasia and metaplasia. I have investigated cases where
initial diagnosis was cancer and later from biopsy and culture identified as a
mold growth. Far more deaths are caused by a fungal mold than anyone
would believe. Dr. Leyland H. Hartwell's Noble Prize in Medicine Lecture
in 2001 introduced the fact that in culture cancer cells just like fungal mold,
often described by histopathologists as undifferentiated carcinomas, are
immortal just like fungal mold in that they continue to grow even outside
the body, when normal human cells do not. If cancer cells are not human
cells, then what are they, fungal mold?”
A medical textbook used to educate Johns Hopkins medical
students in 1957, Clinical and Immunologic Aspects of Fungous
Diseases, declared that many fungal conditions look exactly like cancer!
Dr. Doug A. Kaufmann
The Germ That Causes Cancer
Dr. H. Takeuchi et al in Japan analyzed 20 cases of urinary fungal
infection. Candida albicans was the most prevalent of the fungi affecting the
urinary tract. Torulopsis glabrata and Candida tropicalis were also prevalent.
Antibiotics, indwelling catheter and obstructive uropathy were the most
prevalent predisposing factors of the fungal infection. Of 20 cases of fungal
infection, 5 cases were cured only by elimination of the predisposing
factors, and 15 cases were treated and resolved by administration of
sodium bicarbonate, 5-fluorocytosine and or irrigation with amphotericin
B. But one case of bilateral renal torulopsiosis developed into renal failure,
and 4 cases died of the primary disease.61
Sodium Bicarbonate has been successfully proven its antifungal
value in agriculture to resolve fungal issues in vegetation,
including many destructive diseases such as anthracnose, powdery
mildew, black spot in crops and horticultural industries. It has
been successfully used to protect crops from fungus during storage.
Dr. Simincini uses the lab procedures and protocols for using intravenous
sodium bicarbonate as approved by the FDA for cardiac infarctions to treat
most cancers. Being that the present day survival rate of 5 years in the US is
less than 2 ¾% due to protocols the medical profession uses, Dr.
Simoncini’s outstanding success in the 90% remission rate and some as
long as 20 years should shatter modern medicine’s fixed ideas about
cancer. “If the fungus are sensible to the sodium bicarbonate solutions and
the tumour is smaller than 3 cm, the percentage will be around the 90%, for
terminal cases in which the patients is in reasonable good conditions is 50%
and for terminals patients just a small percentage,” reports Simoncini,
whose treatments take approximately 30-45 days. Below is a note from Dt.
Simoncini on his discovery.
One of the first patients I treated was an 11-year-old child, a case which
immediately indicated that I was on the right track. The child arrived in a
coma at the paediatric haematology ward around 11:30 in the morning,
with a clinical history of leukaemia. Because of the child’s disease he had
been taken from a small town in Sicily to Rome, through the universities of
Palermo and Naples, where he underwent several chemotherapy sessions.
His desperate mother told me that she had been unable to speak with the
child for 15 days; that is, since the child had been on his journey through
the various hospitals. She said she would have given the world to hear her
son’s voice once again before he died. As I was of the opinion that the
child was comatose both because of the proliferation of fungal colonies in
the brain and because of the toxicity of the therapies that had been
performed on him, I concluded that if I could destroy the colonies with
sodium bicarbonate salts and at the same time nourish and detoxify the
brain with glucose administered intravenously, I could hope for a
regression of the symptoms.62
And so it was. After a continuous intravenous infusion of bicarbonate and
glucose solutions, at around 7pm, when I returned to the university, I found
the child speaking with his mother, who was in tears.
Dr. Tullio Simoncini
“With the exception of the cancers caused by cut/cured/ fermented
tobacco leaf, the cause of cancer is generally stated as being unknown. That
statement is made invalid by the published research data collected and
presented here which documents that fungi and their mycotoxins cause
virtually every type of human cancer in either animals or humans or in
both,” reports Dr. A.V. Costantini from the W.H.O.63
There is a food connection to cancer but only
to its connection with contaminating fungi
and the mycotoxins which those fungi produce.
Dr. A.V. Costantini
Antibiotics increase the risk of incident and fatal breast cancer or any
type of cancer.64 This finding is also explained by the fact that many, if not
most, of our antibiotics are derived from fungi—they are fungal byproducts,
or “myco”-toxins. Remember how we get penicillin from the Penicillium
mold? Or how we get alcohol from brewer’s yeast, or Saccharomyces
cerevisiae? That’s right, alcohol—linked to 50 different types of cancer
(Costantini, Fungalbionics Series. 1998-99)—is a mycotoxin. That same
book by Costantini tell us that 2 or more cumulative month’s use of
antibiotics in one’s life increases the risk of lymphoma by 40%. “Certainly,
physicians would not believe such a risk exists for penicillin, an antibiotic
given to billions of humans. However, it is, by definition a mycotoxin and
mycotoxins do cause cancer.” (Costantini, et al. 1998).
Antibiotics are contributing to everything
from 2nd heart attacks to breast cancer.
A week doesn't go by that we don't find yet another medical or societal
reference to fungi causing human misery. In September 1999, Johns
Hopkins medical researchers confirmed that virtually all chronic sinus
infections were due to fungus. Fungus makes poisonous byproducts
called mycotoxins. Antibiotics are one class of mycotoxins.
The fact that mycotoxins can cause cancer is not up for grabs. Even the
American Cancer Society admit: “Mycotoxins are genotoxic carcinogens,
and exposure begins in utero and in mother’s milk, continuing throughout
life; these conditions favor the occurrence of disease.” (Murphy, et al.
American Cancer Society Textbook of Clinical Oncology, 2nd ed. 1995)
Genotoxic means that mycotoxins can cause damage to genes. A
carcinogen is something that is known to cause cancer. To remain healthy
an increase our chances of health, regardless of whether we are currently
disease-free or have been diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer, it remains in our
best interest to minimize our exposure to the various sources of fungi and
mycotoxins.
Both cancer cells and fungi can metabolize nutrients in the absence of
oxygen (anaerobically) Both must have sugar in order to survive. Both can
be impacted by antifungal medicines.65 Both will die in the absence of
sugar.66“Mycotoxins have proven to be very toxic and harmful, and it is no
wonder that many inhabitants of mold-infested spaces are constantly ill,
mainly with upper respiratory tract infections, lethargy, constant headaches,
nausea, and a general ill feeling. Inhabiting these living spaces for a
considerable period may lead to cancer.”67
Cancer is defined as malignant tumor of disorderly cells that have the
potential of nearly unlimited growth. These uncontrolled cells expand
locally and/or metastasize (spread destructively) to other tissues and organs.
Clearly this can define a yeast or fungus colony as well as normal cells
losing control of their own reproductive growth, though this might be
another grand illusion of the medical industrial complex, which is prone to
medical illusions.
Most sensible cell biologists know that everyone forms cancer cells
many times over their lifetime, but “only” about 40 percent of us are ever
diagnosed with clinical cancer. This also can easily be translated into
meaning that all sensible cell biologists know that everyone has yeast and
fungus floating around in their bodies that grow and are beaten back many
times by the immune system. When doctors tell us that we all are born with
the potential to destroy cancer cells effectively using our immune systems it
is the same as saying that we are born with the potential to destroy yeast and
fungus invasions.
That metastatic cancer cells eat their way through the protective barriers
of an organ and march away form their proper organ and overrun other
tissues and organs describes yeast and fungus invasion perfectly. Today,
people are dying at alarming rates of all types of cancers/yeast infections
and hardly a soul in the United States has gone through life untouched by
cancer. People all around us are dropping like flies.
Cancer cells, whether you conceptualize them as run away body cells or
fungal invasions, have no effective defense against the natural healing
properties of the body. Thus immunotherapeutic techniques are effective.
Though oncologists are still playing with their navels or busy masterbating
about the causes of cancer, meaning they have not come out of their cribs
with any depth of understanding, even after spending 40 billion on research
in their war against cancer, we can do much to make sure we and our loved
ones do not die from it.
Now we have Dr. Doug A. Kaufman and Dr. David Holland who are, in
terms of diabettes, saying what Dr. Simoncini and Dr. Costantini are saying
about cancer; that the fungal invasion is a cause, NOT just a secondary
infection, but a primary infection, often mistaken for viral and bacterial
causes, and treated as such by the MD's, which only make it worse because
their medicines (antibiotics) promote fungal growth. Kaufman and Holland
make a significant link between diabetes and cancer, pointing out that when
our immune system is compromised and unable to fight off a fungal
invasion and stop its proliferation that the rates for cancer go up. Is it a
coincidence that diabetics have a 4 times greater rate of liver cancer?
Highly doubtful for diabetics have double the risk of pancreatic cancer
compared to non-diabetics, according to recent studies presented to the
Third Annual Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Meeting in Seattle in
2004. Below Dr. Kaufman shares his testimony:
The day I wrote this, a young lady phoned into my syndicated radio talk
show. Her three-year-old daughter was diagnosed last year with leukemia.
She believes antifungal drugs and natural immune system therapy has been
responsible for saving her daughter's life. She is now telling others with
cancer about her daughter's case. After hearing her story, a friend of hers
with bone cancer asked her doctor for a prescriptive antifungal drug. To
her delight, this medication, meant to eradicate fungus, was also
eradicating her cancer. She dared not share this with her physician, telling
him only that the antifungal medication was for a "yeast" infection. When
she could no longer get the antifungal medication, the cancer immediately
grew back. Her physician contended that a few antifungal pills surely
should have cured her yeast infection. It is my contention, however, that
the reason this medication worked was because she did have a yeast
infection not a vaginal infection for which this medication was prescribed;
a fungal infection of the bone that may have been mimicking bone cancer.
Many cancer patients find the true fungal link to their cancer only to
succumb to heart disease or immune deficiency caused by traditional
cancer treatment. If this case were an isolated event, it might be referred to
as "coincidental." I have been able to plead with doctors of advanced
cancer patients to at least try antifungal drugs for their patients.
Afterwards, simply amazing reports have come forth. Several of these have
been published in The Germ That Causes Cancer.
Dr. Doug A. Kaufman
For children early treatment with antiobiotics, and lifelong exposures to
many of them, only add to the problem by setting up the immune system to
be compromised. Kaufman and Holland in their book Infectious Diabetes
present a compelling account of how fungi may be the underlying cause of
diabetes and its complications, as well as many other autoimmune disorders.
The premise behind the book is that, contrary to being a genetic disease,
diabetes is actually caused by microbes and toxins in the foods we eat.
Heavy Metal Contamination promotes the growth of fungus
infections and are an essential etiology in their cause.
Cancer has been around as long as mankind, but only in the second half
of the 20th century did the number of cancer cases explode. Contributing to
this explosion are the excessive amounts of toxins and pollutants we are
exposed to, high stress lifestyles that zap the immune system, poor quality
junk food that's full of pesticides, irradiated and now genetically modified,
pathogens, electromagnetic stress, lights, and just about everything that
wasn't here 200 years ago. All these weaken the immune system, and alter
the internal environment in the body to an environment that promotes the
growth of cancer/fungal colonies.
Sodium bicarbonate lessens the development of polycystic kidney
disease in rats. Chronic administration of 200 mM sodium bicarbonate
to rats inhibited cystic enlargement and prevented the subsequent
development of interstitial inflammation, chronic fibrosis, and uremia.68
Fungi easily grow in the body after the part of the immune system that
controls fungi (i.e. kills it) has been compromised (e.g. by heavy metals,
pesticides, emotional shocks, etc). If the immune system is 100% intact,
then fungi should not grow in the body. The part of the immune system that
is most responsible for attacking fungi is the neutraphil function.
Dr. Milton White believed that cancer is a chronic,
infectious, fungus disease. He was able to find fungal
spores in every sample of cancer tissue he studied.
Cancer is not a mysterious disease that suddenly attacks us out of the
blue, something that we can't do anything about. It has definite causes that
we can correct in our bodies if we have enough time, and if we take action
to change the internal environment to one that creates health, not cancer.
Our protocol attacks cancerous cells and tumors by exploiting their
weaknesses, which can be done most directly with sodium bicarbonate
treatments combined with iodine and magnesium chloride as well as Alpha
Lipoic Acid and other substances that trigger chelation of heavy metals.
Overcoming cancer is a process of reversing the conditions that allowed the
cancer to develop, and going after and killing cancerous fungal colonies.
The average human IQ is plummeting primarily due
to IQ points in the population being chemically
destroyed via low level mercury exposure in children.
Professor Philippe Grandjean
Harvard University
Fungal overgrowth occurs because its natural competitors have been
removed, which is what happens with antibiotic usage. Pathogenic albicans
(chronic candidiasis, more commonly known as candida or thrush) is
generally caused by drug use, particularly antibiotic drug use, and poor diet,
lowered immunity altogether, and metals, especially dental amalgams.
Mercury will promote the growth of Candida, as it adsorbs the
mercury. Candida cannot be effectively dealt with without dealing with the
dental issues first (mercury issues). This is not an optional appraoch, but
necessarily part of the primary approach when mercury contamination is
involved.
Two studies found an association between exposure to
mercury and acute leukemia.On the basis of the available human
and animal data, the International Agency for Research on Cancer
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified
methyl mercury as a "possible" human carcinogen.
National Academy of Science69
According to the observations made by the internationally recognized
medical researcher, Dr. Yoshiaki Omura, all cancer cells have mercury in
them. Since mercury is the second most toxic substance on this planet, its
presence provides a strong initiating factor for disrupting cell function.
Support for this idea comes from Dr Hans Nolte who states that, "The wave
spectrum of mercury contains more than thirteen wavelengths, whereas only
one or two frequencies or wavelengths are usually observed for the other
heavy or noble metals." It is Dr. Nolte's belief that the many harmful effects
of mercury could be explained to some degree on the basis of this great
variety of wavelengths. Dr. Omura's clinical observation concludes that one
of the primary reasons cancer returns is because residual mercury
reignites a pathological environment even after surgery, chemotherapy,
radiation, and alternative therapies report a positive effect.70
200 micrograms of mercury would fit on the head of a pin.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
dropping that pinhead of mercury into 23 gallons of water
would make it unsafe for human consumption.71
Once mercury has attacked cells they become impaired in their ability to
detoxify and nurture themselves because mercury suffocates the
intracellular respiratory mechanism. The cells thus become toxic, some die
but the majority simply adopt, change their physiology and live in a state of
chronic malnutrition. The presence of mercury in the tissues represses the
immune system, which itself has to make a conscious adaptation to what
could easily become a lethal heavy metal environment. As mercury levels
increase the immune system does something very interesting for the sake of
survival. It begins to allow fungi and bacteria, which can bind large amounts
of toxic metals, to grow. It does this to alleviate the respiration of the cells
so they can breathe again but the cost is very high for the system has to
provide nutrition for the microorganisms and has to deal with their
metabolic products ("toxins").
When a bacterium or virus invades the body, the immune system
sends in its special cells to kill the invaders. One team of special
cells, macrophages, does this by releasing a burst of free radicals.
Dr. Klinghardt explains the hidden connection between such toxic
buildup and the inflammatory infections that are principle aspects of heart
diseases, saying “Toxic metals harm the cells of the body whereas the
invading microorganisms can often thrive in a heavy metal
environment. Research by Ludwig, Voll and others in Germany and Omura
and I here in the US, show that microorganisms tend to set up their
housekeeping in those body compartments that have the highest pollution
with toxic metals. The body's own immune cells are incapacitated in those
areas whereas the microorganisms multiply and thrive in an undisturbed
way.” He goes on to “suggest diagnosing and treating toxic metal residues
in the body along with the appropriate treatment of the microorganisms. As
long as compartmentalized toxic metals are present in the body,
microorganisms have a fortress that cannot be conquered by antibiotics.”
With any infection, especially one that continues for
decades, the body tries to seal off the infection.
It does this by building a fibrous wall around the battle zone.
There are many things that can start the chain reaction that leads to
cancer/fungus infections, but no matter what starts the chain reaction, part of
the process involved a microbe penetrating inside a normal cell, thus
breaking the Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain (ETC). This makes
the once normal cell anaerobic, and an anaerobic cell is defined to be
cancerous.
Tumors are not distinquishable from
the infections that inhabit them.
The Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in East Melbourne has revealed
three cancer patients have died from a fungal infection in its intensive care
unit.72 After a cycle of antibiotics use the candida/yeast/fungus overgrowth
that comes in its wake can be lethal. Cancer is defined as malignant tumor
of disorderly cells that have the potential of nearly unlimited growth. These
uncontrolled cells expand locally and/or metastasize (spread destructively)
to other tissues and organs. Clearly this can define a yeast or fungus colony
as well as normal cells losing control of their own reproductive growth.
Most sensible cell biologists know that everyone forms cancer cells
many times over their lifetime, but “only” about 40 percent of us are ever
diagnosed with clinical cancer. Said another way, all sensible cell biologists
know that everyone has yeast and fungus floating around in their bodies that
grow and are beaten back many times by the immune system. That
metastatic cancer cells eat their way through the protective barriers of an
organ and overrun other tissues and organs describes yeast and fungus
invasion perfectly. Today, people are dying at alarming rates of all types of
cancers/yeast infections and hardly a soul in the United States has gone
through life untouched by cancer. People all around us are dropping like
flies.
Although, there are millions of species of fungi, only about 400 species
of fungi make mycotoxins that are capable of causing human illness. Only
one, a mycotoxin from the fungi Aspergillus called Aflatoxin, is routinely
tested in our food supply.73 It is tested in corn, peanuts and other products.
A study published in January 2002 in The Journal of the American Medical
Association (JAMA) states virtually all of our corn supply, and much of our
peanut and grain supply, is impregnated with mycotoxins.
Scientists have directly implicated yeast and fungal toxins,
called mycotoxins, in the cause of Crohn’s disease. Former
World Health Organization expert Dr. A.V. Costantini
has found that people with Crohn’s often have aflatoxin,
a mycotoxin made by Aspergillus molds, in their blood.
Dr. Dave Holland
The various foods which are documented to cause prostate cancer share
little in common except that they are all high on the list of fungal mycotoxin
contaminated foods. The carcinogenic mycotoxin most often encountered is
aflatoxin. Aflatoxin, a recognized potent carcinogenic mycotoxin causes
normal human breast cells to become cancerous. Tumor tissues have higher
aflatoxin-adduct levels than do normal tissue from the same individual. The
presence of carcinogenic aflatoxin within the cancer tissue and thus
implicates aflatoxin as a cause of breast cancer. Le et al. (1986), in a French
case-control study of 1,010 breast cancer cases and 1,950 controls with
nonmalignant diseases, found that breast cancer was found to be associated
with increased frequency of mold-fermented cheese consumption.
Aflatoxin causes mutation of normal rat prostate cells
Link et al. 1983.
Dr. Holland says, “Although aflatoxin is the most carcinogenic substance
on the planet, ochratoxin beats it ten times over in terms of its toxicity and
the damage it inflicts on the human body.74 Despite this, the USDA does
not screen for ochratoxin. Other countries screen for up to 15 of the most
common mycotoxins, including zearalenone and fumonisin, as well as the
afore mentioned ochratoxin. Although these mycotoxins are common in
our food supply the USDA does not screen for their presence either.75
Incidentally mold-generated zearalenone mimics estrogen, which can throw
vicitm's entire hormonal systems off balance. It is found in high
concentrations in North America.”76
While cooking will kill fungi, their mycotoxins remain unaffected
by heat. So mycotoxins existing in grains, milk, and animals
fed them (livestock) will be carried to our dinner tables.
Fungus Infections of the Lungs
Going et al. (1990) found that calcium oxalate crystals are present in
calcifications found in the breast tissue of patients with breast cancer.
Oxalic acid (calcium oxalate crystals) in the sputum or lung specimens of
patients is also an indication of an Aspergillus infection of the lung. Oxalic
acid is a powerful corrosive agent and oxalate salts are widely used for their
cleaning and bleaching properties. Oxalic acid happens to be a mycotoxin
which can be produced by a number of different fungal species. Some fungi
produce such large amounts of oxalic acid that they are used for commercial
production of the chemical. These calcium oxalate crystals are the same as
the calcium oxalate found in breast cancers. The presence of oxalates in
the breast is indicative of the presence of fungi interwoven within the
stages of breast cancer development. Since humans do not make oxalic
acid themselves, this is an appropriate conclusion.
In 3 patients with a diagnosis of brain lymphoma and low grade
glioma on the basis of the surgical specimens, stereotactic
biopsy revealed only unspecific reactive tissue changes.77
Uric Acid is a Cause of Renal Disease78
Kaufman and Holland state that many fungal varieties produce uric
acid, which in turn produce alloxan. Alloxan, which is formed from uric
acid, even in small quantities induces diabetes in laboratory animals.79 “In
one study, they state,” it was found that rats injected with alloxan suffered a
drop in the number of beta cells in their pancreases, and a corresponding
sharp drop in insulin production”. The rat’s cholesterol and triglyceride
levels shot up, as well. Uric Acid was discovered to cause diabetes in 1949,
by Mervyn Griffiths.80 Alloxan, is now used to make laboratory rats diabetic
for research purposes. Urea and uric acid are always found together in the
urine, along with a small amount of alloxan. Alloxan appears to be the
intermediate stage in the conversion of uric acid into urea by oxidation.81
Increased uric acid is caused by yeast infections,
by fungus, by microorganisms using us for a host.
Uric acid produces alloxan and both cause diabetes.
Interestingly it was also found that uric acid or alloxan alone in small
amounts did not cause a diabetic condition if the glutathione levels remained
at normal levels in the lab animals tested.82 Shortly after this it was
discovered that Sacchromyces yeast produces uric acid.( Svlhia,1963), and
in 1976 after two children dying from diabetes were found to be infected
with Cryptococcus fungi, further studies were done by injecting
Cryptococcus directly into the pancreatic arteries. Necrosis (cell death) in
the Islets of Langerhans resulted. This is where insulin producing cells
originate. Cryptococcus fungi also produce alloxan, a uric acid byproduct.
Further studies through the years confirmed alloxan’s damage to the
pancreatic islet cells (Pogo, 1980) and in 1990 Coleman et. al fed mice a
diet of 10% brewers yeast, and diabetes resulted. In the 1980s it was found
that other alloxan-like metabolites of uric acid were diabetogenic, some
even more so than alloxan alone.83
Uric acid causes diabetes, heart disease, probably strokes
and renal disease as well as gout and kidney stones.
According to The Home Medical Encyclopedia, in 1963 about one-half of
all Americans suffered from an "unrecognized" systemic fungal condition.
Far more Americans suffer from fungal infections today as antibiotics,
hormone replacement therapies, and birth control pills continue to be
consumed like candy. Thus more and more children are becoming infected
with candidial meningitis or viral meningitis which means their systems are
suffering under the weight of these poisons, these mycotoxins. While the
gluten-free, casein free diet is a step in the right direction, it's not enough. It
is time we start focusing on conquering the systemic viral and fungal
infections with the same substances that can destroy these same infections in
the case of cancer.
In my practice I’ve noticed that clients who have chronic sub-clinical viral,
bacterial or yeast/fungal infections accumulate and retain heavy metals in
their bodies. It’s interesting to note that these chronic infections bind to
toxic metals so effectively that no chelating agent is able to remove them.
Dr. Ted Edwards
Dr. Edwards goes on to indicate that most patients who are
experiencing the ravages of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, multiple chemical
sensitivities, diabetes, lupus and other autoimmune diseases are found to
have both dysbiosis and leaky gut. What happens is the combination of
yeast-bacteria, yeast-virus, Candida infestation and heavy metal toxicity
alter the stomach and intestinal track to such a degree that it can no longer
function properly. It becomes highly reactive to gluten in grains or corn as
well as to caseins found in dairy products.
The bulk of the pancreas consists of cells whose job is to produce fluid
that contains enzymes and sodium bicarbonate. The enzymes digest food;
the sodium bicarbonate neutralizes hydrochloric acid from the stomach to
protect the delicate intestinal lining from damage. Without the sodium
bicarbonate in pancreas fluid to neutralize stomach acid the intestine can be
severely damaged by the highly caustic fluid that arrives from the stomach.
Thus, pancreatic enzyme insufficiency leads to maldigestion of food and
subsequent malnutrition, accompanied by signs of intestinal irritation and
we can start to imagine how useful bicarbonate is for children with autism.
The most promising development in the past ten years in treating
Interstitial Cystitis and Painful Bladder Syndrome is the development of
"rescue" instillations (or cocktails), a customized solution that can be placed
in the bladder and immediately help reduce pain and discomfort. Rescue
instillations are designed to accomplish several goals: (1) to help restore the
mucous in the bladder, (2) to help fight pain and inflammation and (3) to
help fight infection, if needed. The core pain fighting ingredient is usually
an alkalinized local anesthetic, such as lidocaine or marcaine. The bladder
lining has such a strong mucous barrier that normal lidocaine has difficulty
crossing through it. However, researchers (such as Richard Henry-Canada)
noticed that if you alkalinized the anesthetic with a precise amount of
sodium bicarbonate, it dramatically improved its ability to pass through the
mucous to reache and soothe the irritated nerves and tissues beneath.84
Sodium bicarbonate powder mixed with water is a very effective first aid
remedy. This can be used as a mouth rinse as well as swallowed to help
make the body more alkaline. Bicarbonate is a natural buffering compound
manufactured by the body. Canker sores (aphthous ulcers) are tiny
ulcerations that occur in the oral cavity on or near the tongue and on the
inner mucous membrane of the lip. They can be very painful to the point of
interfering with speech and eating. They also tend to heal slowly. The
source of the problem is usually an acid condition in the body caused by
food or chemical allergies. Sodium bicarbonate is effective for canker sores
and ulcers.
Spores are tiny single cells that are produced by fungi that have hyphae.
Spores are tiny single cells that are usually very resistant to environmental
changes. They can remain dormant for long periods of time until the
conditions are right for them to develop into mature individuals. Fungi are
heterotrophs, meaning that they secrete digestive enzymes and absorb
the resulting soluble nutrients from whatever they are growing on. For
this reason they are great decomposers in the ecosystem, but they can also
cause problems when they begin to absorb nutrients from a living organism.
A new area of research being driven by Dundee University in Scotland
is revealing remarkable abilities of fungi to interact with minerals and
metals. Led by Professor Geoffrey Gadd in the College of Life Sciences, the
research explores the unique taste that fungi seems to have for rock and
heavy metal. Yeasts, moulds and mushrooms are all fungi and there are an
estimated 1.5 million different species in the biosphere. By breaking down
dead organic material, they continue the cycle of nutrients through
ecosystems, and most plants could not grow without the symbiotic fungi
that inhabit their roots and supply essential nutrients.
Fungi will also live almost anywhere. They have been found growing
in the harshest of environments, in the desert and polar regions, in the
sea and on rocks. "The fact that fungi interact with heavy metals has
potentially important consequences for human activity. Fungi also play a
significant, if often overlooked, role in the degradation of rocks and stone including building materials," Professor Gadd said. "Despite this, their role
as agents of environmental change has not been fully appreciated." Rocks
are composed of minerals, the vast majority of which contain metals. They
might be considered to be an inhospitable habitat for life to flourish yet
fungi can thrive even in the harshest of environments. Mycoplasma, which
are fungus like organisms, in order to survive, need heavy metals, of which
there are great amounts today in people’s bodies, especially around our
glandular organs, such as pancreas, thyroid, pineal, thymus, adrenal glands
etc. where heavy metals tend to stay. This is where the fungus will set up
colonies to hide and will thrive on the heavy metals. A great majority of
people who have candida also have very high heavy metals.
The ability of fungi to grow on a range of rocks and mineral-based
surfaces, including concrete and other building materials is significant, with
positive and negative implications. Fungi produce acidic by-products
which help them use nutrients in the minerals but this begins to
decompose the rock in a form of biological weathering (bioweathering).
This can result in the return of essential nutrients and metals like calcium,
phosphate and potassium back into the soil where they can nourish plants
and microbes. In other cases, the released elements can form other minerals.
"This ability of fungi to attack and degrade concrete and other materials
has implications not only for the weathering and corrosion of buildings but
is also relevant to nuclear decommissioning, for example," Professor Gadd
said. Imagine what fungi can do to the brain if they can eat out the concrete
esophagus put around nuclear sites like Chenobal.
They most commonly are breathed in or have contact with the skin. If
conditions are right and they start to reproduce, disease can result. Some
antifungal agents are available to treat these infections, but it has been much
more difficult for scientists to create successful antifungal drugs than
antibacterial drugs because the cells of fungi are much closer in structure to
the cells of animals than are bacteria. In creating drugs, it is hard to find an
agent that will kill the fungal cells and leave the animal cells unharmed. The
most successful drugs that have been created prevent the formation of
chitin, and therefore prevent the fungus from creating new cell walls and
spreading. The cell wall is the only structure that is not shared by the animal
and fungal cells. Other drugs bind to specific fungal proteins and prevent
growth. Unfortunately, many of the drugs available are only fungistatic,
meaning they can only prevent further growth rather than fungicidal,
meaning to kill the fungus. Many of the drugs used for serious fungal
infections have potentially toxic side effects.
Some evidence suggests that a fungus may be causing or
contributing to the remarkable decline in bee populations.
Fungus is a parasite and very often dictates eating behaviors in the host.
Typically, we see people who have a fungal condition with certain cravings
no knowing a host of fungal invaders are dictating their behavior; not
knowing that their arthritis, their cancer, their diabetes or other diseases are
related to fungus. These people tend to crave pasta, bread, potatoes and
sugar, which is one clue a physician can use to accurately diagnose their
case/condition.
83% - 25 people had various stages of systemic yeast infections in their
blood. This means that the fungus is flowing everywhere throughout the
body. This causes joint pain, stomach upset, allergies, reflux, and many
other disorders that are misdiagnosed by conventional medicine. Dr.
Marijah McCain identified the primary cause of death in cancer patients to
be NOT the cancer itself, but fungal overgrowth. The doctor also saw fungi
in other diseases such as: Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lupus,
Gulf War Syndrome.
"The Feds closed my clinic 2 years ago... They said the procedure I was
doing was categorized as "high complexity" and required unrealistic
laboratory requirements for me to practice (One drop of blood on a
microscope slide!) When I spoke to the idiot at CLIA in Dallas he said
quote "We are going to get rid of all of you." Nice... I will tell you in the
short time I was using my scope I saved over 25 lives from sure death and
also saw systemic yeast in everyone's blood. They don't want you to know
that this fungus is what is really killing you, not the cancer!!! The chemo
therapies contribute to this fungal overgrowth and it is deadly when not
treated. It is clearly present in all Fibromyalgia, CFS, Lupus, GWS and a
host of other problems they have conveniently mistitled. I knowit, because
I not only saw this with my own eyes, in every case, but I treated it
successfully and got results! People didn't die!!! They got better, even
when they had been given a cancer death sentence!"
How To Test For Fungi
Testing for fungi (same thing as "yeast") is very difficult. There are
several tests, yet they can easily produce false negatives (i.e. they don't see a
fungi, yet you still have one). One $500 test looks for antibodies (solders in
blood designed to attack specific invaders) to 10 different specific fungi. For
an example of such a test, please click here, here and here. There are many
types of fungi, and this is why they are often difficult to see. You could drop
$500 to look for 10 types of fungi, yet not be looking for the one you have.
Another technique is to look for several of the more common forms of fungi
in stool via a CDSA test. For an example of such a test, please click here.
The CDSA has the same problem as the antibody test — it only looks for
several species. Another way to test for fungi is to treat for it for 45days and
see if your symptoms noticeably (hopefully significantly) improve.
New Paradigms in the Treatment of Cancer
Winning the War on Cancer
Listen and watch Dr. Simoncini demonstrate live fungi
colonies and their destruction with sodium bicarbonate.
http://video.google.it/videoplay?docid=-598800713255508140&hl=it
Dr. Simoncini deserves the highest award in medical science for his
genius and medical courage in discovering and developing what might come
to be seen as the single greatest medical breakthrough of the century.
Literally billions of people are going to owe him a debt of eternal gratitude.
Simoncini makes the connection that fungal colonies and cancer colonies
are the same colonies called by two different names. He is not alone in this
and he is not alone in the world of medical science with the knowledge that
sodium bicarbonate is effective at wiping out fungal colonies. What he is
alone with is connecting the dots between cancer, fungal and yeast
infections and bicarbonate.
Physicians normally do not believe that yeast and fungi
cause serious health threats but they are dead wrong.
Dr. H. Takeuchi et al in Japan analyzed 20 cases of urinary fungal
infection. Candida albicans was the most prevalent of the fungi affecting the
urinary tract. Torulopsis glabrata and Candida tropicalis were also prevalent.
Antibiotics, indwelling catheter and obstructive uropathy were the most
prevalent predisposing factors of the fungal infection. Of 20 cases of fungal
infection, 5 cases were cured only by elimination of the predisposing
factors, and 15 cases were treated and resolved by administration of
sodium bicarbonate, 5-fluorocytosine and or irrigation with amphotericin
B. But one case of bilateral renal torulopsiosis developed into renal failure,
and 4 cases died of the primary disease.85
Sodium Bicarbonate has been successfully proven its antifungal
value in agriculture to resolve fungal issues in vegetation,
including many destructive diseases such as anthracnose, powdery
mildew, black spot in crops and horticultural industries. It has
been successfully used to protect crops from fungus during storage.
Dr. Simincini uses the lab procedures and protocols
for using intravenous sodium bicarbonate as approved by the FDA for
cardiac infarctions to treat most cancers. Being that the present day survival
rate of 5 years in the US is less than 2 ¾% due to protocols the medical
profession uses, Dr. Simoncini’s outstanding success in the 90%
remission rate and some as long as 20 years should shatter modern
medicine’s fixed ideas about cancer. “If the fungi are sensitive to the
sodium bicarbonate solutions and the tumour is smaller than 3 cm, the
percentage will be around 90%, for terminal cases in which the patient is in
reasonably good conditions is 50% and for terminal patients just a small
percentage,” reports Simoncini, whose treatments take approximately 30-45
days.
The orthodox medical establisment could help out greatly in this by
providing an open mind and the cooperation of interventional radiologists
for placement of the arterial catheters necessary to reach the deepest tissues
in the most direct manner. Though nothing the orthodox oncology
community ever did made sense we we should demand that they will
embrace this revolution in cancer treatment for it is their responsibility to do
so. It is what they get paid to do.
Until they do we are creating a protocol that will compensate for the fact
that these medical procedures are not currently available, except perhaps in
Rome, which is the home territory of Dr. Simoncini. By amplifying the
bicarbonate treatments with magneisum chloride, iodine, vitamin C,
selenium, ALA and other substances and treatments we can add to the
power, depth and magesty of cancer treatments always with the thought of
removing the causes, the heavy metals, the mental, emotional and spiritual
traumas, the poisons in our foods and environmental polutions that plague
us from all sides.
Breast Cancer Patient in Europe Shares her success with bicarbonate.
http://video.google.it/videoplay?docid=8718775950691314311
These videos reveal an astonishing truth about cancer and its safe
successful treatment. For other videos see Dr. Simoncini’s site at
http://www.cancerfungus.com/ Doctors and medical scientists have made
the dire mistake of assuming that fungal conditions develop after cancer
treatment have begun. Researchers contend that cancer therapies, aimed at
destroying cancer, also destroy the immune system of the patient leaving
them vulnerable to yeasts and fungi, which multiply out of control. They
consider these invading colonies to be "secondary" to the actual cancer.
But they are wrong. Candida, and its many variants are not only the
cause of cancer, they are the cancer. The question is not if cancer is
cancer the answer is cancer is an invasion of Candida colonies. The 100
year old hypothesis that has led medical science in circles, that cancer are
human cells multiplying without limit, turns out to be just another invention,
an unproven fantasy that no one has ever demonstrated. Dr. Simoncini
insists that there is no evidence at all for the genetic hypothesis and this gets
proven out with the fact that orthodox cancer treatments do not work.
Modern oncology is a complete failure and every doctor knows this in his
heart and soul.
Fungi are heterotrophs, meaning that they
secrete digestive enzymes and absorb the resulting
soluble nutrients from whatever they are growing on.

White rot fungi, the only organisms able to biodegrade wood, is so good at
digesting just abut everything that they will be used to biodegrade toxic chemicals.
When fungi are fed the food they love they become more virulent. Their
ability to penetrate and root into the intestinal walls, for example and invade
the cells is increased. They not only attach themselves to human tissues but
can actually invade the cells where they become quite at home. Thus they
are not secondary but primary infections that have been helped along with
runaway antibiotic usage, dental amalgam, flu vaccines laden with mercury,
mineral deficiencies and by terrible modern diets infected with molds and
yeasts as well as many potent poisons.
Will you hear about Dr. Simoncini’s theories and treatments in the
media? No. Will the major medical organizations happily investigate and
support this new effort for the sake of patients everywhere? No. Will the
major cancer organizations be enthusiastic? No. The truth is no longer
popular in todays civilization as 9/11 empathically demonstrated and as the
FDA and CDC illustrate everyday in their decisions and pronouncments.
Do Cancer Tests Test for Cancer?
Perceptual Observations of Orthodox Oncology
Gleen Thomas/W.H.O.
Conflicting findings from laboratory tests are a great problem
in the treatment of diseases like AIDS, turberculosis and cancer.
It is important not to rely on any one test for cancer. Most tests are not
adequate or reliable when used alone to diagnois cancer because all to often
the tests yield false positives. A false-positive test is a test result or finding
which suggests the presence of a disease which turns out to not be there. A
false-negative test is a result or finding which suggests that the dreaded
disease is not there but which, on further investigation, such disease is found
to be present. False positive and false negative results either cause
unwarranted concern or unwarranted relief, and they can lead to additional
expense.
False positive: A result that is erroneously positive when a
situation is normal. It’s when a test designed to detect
cancer is positive but the person does not have cancer.
Twenty five percent or more of women will experience a false-positive
screening mammogram.86 The CA-125 test returns a false positive result
of about 50% of Stage I ovarian cancer patients. The CA-125 test has an
20% chance of returning false positive results from stage II, III, and IV
ovarian cancer patients. A new blood test that promises advance warning of
colon cancer has a false positive rate up to 18% of the time in normal
people and in people with benign polyps and other noncancerous growths.87
The test detects either of two chemical markers dubbed colon-cancerspecific antigen-3 (CCSA-3) and CCSA-4. Current PET-CT scanners with
standard commercial software designed to provide images of the heart are
falsely indicating coronary artery disease in as many as 40 percent of
patients, according to a study published on the cover page of the Journal of
Nuclear Medicine.88 Researchers estimated that PET scans could most
accurately detect cancer 40% of the time. The false positive rate was
58%.89
The inspection of cells for the diagnosis of cancer is subjective,
as much an art as a science. It appears that there is as
much subjectivity in the diagnosis of cancer as there is science.
Dr. Burt Berkson
FDA Investigator for IV use of ALA
Among 1,087 individuals participating in a cancer screening trial who
received a battery of tests for prostate, ovarian, colorectal and lung cancer,
43 percent had at least one false positive test result, according to Jennifer
Elston Lafata, Ph.D., director of the Center for Health Services Research at
the Henry Ford Health System and the lead author on the study.90[v] Men
who get a "false-positive" prostate cancer result -- an abnormal screening
test followed by a biopsy indicating no evidence of cancer -- appear more
likely to worry about their subsequent risk of cancer and report more
problems with sexual function compared to men with normal screening
results, according to a University of Iowa study.91
The more a woman weighs, the greater the risk that her mammogram
will have false positive results. Dr. Joann G. Elmore and colleagues
analyzed more than 100,000 mammograms from nearly 70,000 women.
"Obese women had more than a 20% increased risk of having a false
positive mammogram result."92
The London Daily Mail reported on a man diagnosed with cancer who
was told he had less than a year to live. "The 62-year-old council worker
quit his job, sold his car, stopped paying his mortgage and dug into his life
savings so he could treat himself and relatives to expensive restaurant
meals. He even sold all his clothes but for the black suit in which he
expected to be buried. A year later, however, with no sign of the Grim
Reaper coming to call, he went for tests - which gave him a clean bill of
health. He had never had cancer at all." "It's put me and my family
through hell." Mr Brandrick's ordeal began in February 2005 when he
began suffering severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with jaundice.
An ultrasound scan at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Treliske revealed
what was thought to be a two-inch tumour on his pancreas. That April, a
letter from his consultant to his GP gave the bombshell news: "The clinical
diagnosis is pancreatic cancer.93
Research currently shows that the risks of PSA screen testing may
outweigh the benefits in screening men at average risk of developing
prostate cancer. The PSA test has a high rate of false-positive results.
Screening means looking for early signs of a particular disease in 'healthy'
people who do not have any symptoms. Screening cannot prevent cancer;
only find it as early as possible. What makes a good screening test? Hard to
really say but the first thing doctors are looking for is a test that is capable
of finding cancers early.
Commonly used tests to screen for prostate cancer
don’t seem to work as effectively in men who are obese.
False-positive results on cancer screening tests are common and can lead
to costly follow-up testing, according to a report in the December issue of
Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, and Prevention.94 “We know that having
a false alarm at a breast cancer screening causes significant negative
psychological harm,” says Dr. John Brodersen, co-author of a recent study
on the impact of false-positive cancer testing. “Unfortunately, previous
studies of the long-term psychological consequences of these false alarms
have used inadequate measures.” The survey, developed by Brodersen and
his colleagues, focuses on six psychosocial dimensions; anxiety, behavioral
impact, sense of dejection, impact on sleep, breast examination and
sexuality. The survey showed that women who had an abnormal screening
mammography later confirmed to be false-positive were negatively
influenced in all six categories.
Given the economic and psychological implications of
false-positive screening results, it is imperative that cancer
screening is offered in a setting that allows informed decisionmaking but is that possible with your modern day oncologist?
“This is an urgent issue to be addressed, because one-in-four women
following the European Union-recommended biannual breast cancer
screening program over a 20-year period will experience a false-positive
screening mammogram,” says Brodersen.95 Radiologists are interpreting
way to many mammograms as abnormal.
Test performance dramatically improves when the sought-for disease has
a high percentage chance of actually existing in the case population. That is,
a test for lung cancer on ALL persons will poorly perform as compared to a
test on a person who is a (1) male (2) long-time cigarette smokers (3) who
has a spot on the lung (4) which does not have any visible calcification and
(5) has a stellate shape by imaging studies.
Screening tests have the actual effect of attempting
to re-position the patient into a population
in which the sought-for disease is more prevalent.
Immunohistochemistry (immuno-histo-chemistry IHC) is a protein-based
test that is used to provide an assessment of the amount of HER2 protein
receptors on the surface of the cancer/fungus cells. In HER2-positive tumors
there is more than a normal amount of HER2 protein (i.e. HER2 protein
“overexpression”) on the cell surface. The IHC test is done by a pathologist
in a laboratory on a sample of a tumor removed during a biopsy, a
lumpectomy or a mastectomy. The steps in the procedure are: breast cancer
tissue is prepared for testing the sample of tumor (a thin slice) is exposed to
an antibody which attaches to the HER2 receptors the antibody attached to
the HER2 protein receptors reacts with other substances that cause a color
change in the tissue sample a pathologist must judge the degree of color
change in the cells of the sample; the more HER2 protein the darker the
staining: evaluation of the number of cells with color and the color intensity
of the cells may be performed with computer imaging methods the
percentage of cells in the sample with color and the intensity of the color of
the cells on the slide determines the score for the test
The scoring for an IHC test is from 0 to 3+.
Zero is HER2 negative
1+ is considered HER2 negative
2+ is considered a borderline or equivocal result
3+ is HER2 positive
Problems encountered with IHC testing: The protein being measured can
be damaged during certain preparations of the tissue sample causing
variability in test outcome. Evaluation of the sample often requires the
pathologist to subjectively judge the degree of color (of the HER2 protein
on the cell). False positive or false negative HER2 test results can occur.
I respectfully asked the chief pathologist why he thought it was
cancer. He indignantly told me that the tissue was bluer than
that surrounding it. The chief was very upset that I had questioned
his professional judgment. The surgeon proceeded to remove
the young woman’s breast but did she actually have breast cancer?
Dr. Burt Berkson
Positron Emission Tomography - PET scan - PET works by providing a
dynamic image of the body's interior. Instead of taking a picture of the
bones, like an X-ray, or the internal organs and soft tissue, like a MRI, PET
lets doctors visualize the body's metabolism. Cells use the simple sugar
glucose as a source of energy. By tracking how much glucose is
metabolized in different areas of the body, PET enables physicians to map
the body's use of the fuel. In order to see the glucose, nuclear medicine
physicians attach radioactive tracers to a chemical cousin of glucose. When
the mix is injected in a patient, the scanner and computer work together to
create an image.
Do they really have a clue about what they
are talking about when it comes to cancer?
Do they know what their findings really mean?
Because cancer/fugus cells are dividing rapidly, they break down glucose
at a much higher rate than most normal cells and the increased activity can
show up on a scan. In this way, doctors can see both primary and metastatic
tumors. A PET scan can verify that even small masses are cancerous
because the technique uses a type of sugar, or glucose, that glows.
Cancer/fungus cells ingest larger amounts of glucose than normal cells, so
they glow "hotter" than normal cells. So while CAT can identify suspicious
masses based on their size, PET scans can identify masses that are
cancerous based on their behavior. PET scans can be used in place of
biopsy in some patients suspected of having lung cancer, and helps to guide
treatment. "PET allows us to see the metabolism of a tumor," Conti said.
"From that we can infer whether it's benign or malignant, if it has spread or
whether treatment has been successful. The main concern we have is that
this test uses radiation; however, the radiation exposure involved is less
than that received from many CT Scan Procedures.
Thermography uses thermal imaging which detects new blood vessels
and chemical changes associated with a tumor’s genesis and growth.
Thermography measures the radiation of infrared heat from our body and
translates this information into anatomical images. Thermography offers a
very early warning system, often able to pinpoint a cancer/fungus process
years before it would be detectable by mammography. This approach can
detect cancer/fungus when they are at a minute physical stage of
development, when it is still relatively easy to halt and reverse the
progression of the cancer/fungus colony.
Some oncologists actually think that breast cancer tumors have been
growing slowly for up to 20 years before they are found by typical
diagnostic techniques. If they actually created a test that caught the cancer in
the first days they could start attacking the cancer with the weapons of
modern day oncology. If such early diagnosable and treatable cancer
patients died we would have the serious problem of never knowing with
clarity what the patients died from, disease or treatment, because we could
never be secure of the test results.
T/Tn Antigen Test developed by Dr. Georg Springer are thought to
detect the majority of cancers before any biopsy can. The T and Tn antigens
are proteins on the surface of blood and skin cells and can be identified by
the immune system antibodies. The concentration of these antigens vary
depending on the cancer type and stage. A skin prick can predict or indicate
the likely development of cancers, even 6-10 years in advance of other tests.
These early warning diagnostics of cancer are of course dangerous because
the initiate a process that all to often ends a person on chemotherapy or
radiation treatments.
There are many companies starting to do whole body scans to detect
cancers early. These are being touted as "safe". However, the FDA has
issued a warning that high-tech computerized body imaging for health
screening could be exposing the public to risky levels of radiation. This
should not surprise us since they already use treatments that cause cancer to
treat cancer. Using tests that cause cancer to test for the presence of cancer
is a madness at the heart of orthodox oncoloty. What is worse is that they
treat cancer with methods that cause cancer. It is an unhealthy tradition of
orthodox oncologists who are supposed to heal and cure. Why should we be
surprised when most patients die when treated by modern oncology?
Blood and urine samples may also be tested for various substances,
called tumor markers, which may indicate cancer. Tumor markers are
typically chemicals made by tumor cells, but tumor makers are also
produced by normal cells in your body. CA125 is used for detecting ovarian
cancer and is unreliable. Patients may have elevated tumor markers
because of conditions unrelated to cancer, such as endometriosis or
menstruation irregularities. Patients may show elevated CA125 markers if
they have diverticulitis. Individuals who have the initial, or Stage 1, ovarian
cancer, display elevated CA125 markers only about half the time.
The official line of thought in the cancer industry is a line of
thought which is built on many unknowns and very few certainties.
Dr. Tullio
Simoncini
A biopsy is the removal of some tissue from a body, for examination
in order to diagnose a condition. Biopsies may be surgical removal of the
tumor, in part or completely, or completely with wide margins. Biopsies can
also be done with needles, either a core needle biopsy or a fine needle
aspiration [FNA]. Tumors that are biopsied or otherwise 'interfered
with' have a higher incidence of metastasis than tumors that were
removed in an untouched block with wide margins and good tumor hygiene.
Tumor disruption may facilitate or promote access to the bloodstream.
Numerous studies have shown that biopsies by fine needle, core needle or
open biopsy show a higher rate of metastasis, and movement of cancer cells
from one place to another via the bloodstream. Tumor cell displacement was
observed in 32% of patients who had undergone large-gauge needle core
biopsy of the breast.96 Needle biopsies should be taken seriously as they can
indeed cause seeding along the path of the needle.
"A 68-year-old female who had undergone total hysterectomy for
carcinosarcoma five months previously was noted to have a solitary
nodular shadow in the right lung on chest X-ray. Percutaneous needle
biopsy of the lung was performed via the right anterior chest wall, and the
histologic findings showed metastasis from carcinosarcoma of uterus. Two
months after needle biopsy, a chest wall mass appeared of the site of
puncture of the lung needle biopsy. The mass was resected to relieve the
chest wall pain and the specimen showed carcinosarcoma of uterus
histologically. We consider that tumor cells were implanted to the chest
wall along the needle tract after percutaneous needle biopsy of the lung.
The postoperative chest computed tomogram showed the route of tumor
implantation from the metastasis of right lung into the right chest wall.
..."97
Open or incisional biopsy utilizes a surgical procedure to open the tumor
to obtain a large sample of the tissue for analysis. This technique is overly
invasive and riskier than the less invasive needle biopsy techniques
described above. Incisional biopsy carries all the risks of surgery and
anesthesia including infection, bleeding, and incorrect choice of incision.
Lung cancer kills more people worldwide than any other cancer.
However, according to a report published in The Journal of Best Clinical
Practices for Today's Physician, no available lung cancer screening protocol
has proven sufficiently robust, safe, and cost effective to warrant a
recommendation for population-based screening. The U.S. Preventive
Services Task Force stated that although it found "fair evidence that
screening with low-dose computerized tomography, chest x-ray, or sputum
cytology can detect lung cancer at an earlier stage" than it would be detected
without screening, the group also found "poor evidence that any screening
strategy for lung cancer decreases mortality."
Choosing a physician to treat ones cancer is delicate especially when one
considers the war zone that cancer care has become. It is also critical,
because of all these false positives to have a doctor who can communicate
and listen on the deepest levels of being because that is exactly what is
needed when dealing with life and death. You know you are in the wrong
office if your physician doesn’t listen well, immediately discounts your
concerns, or only focuses on a narrow area of your health and/or your body.
When your physician is not inclined to take the time to explain to you the
particularities of what he feels is your medical condition and the reliability
of the tests that determine diagnosis and prognosis, it is time to search for
another doctor.
When you perceive a doctor’s communicate contains smoke screens, i.e.,
these matters are too technical to understand run for the hills. Rigid
thinking, arrogance or excessive self-assuredness are bad signs. If your
physician seems to see everything in black and white, will not question his
or her own opinions or the results of the tests he orders, look for someone
else. Every physician should welcome a second opinion.
Polls and questionnaires show that three doctors out of five would
refuse any chemotherapy because of its ineffectiveness against
the disease and its devastating effects on the entire human organism.
Time magazine reporters interviewed doctors to find out what they know
about our health-care system and why it frightens them so much when they
find themselves in the role of the patient. "It requires almost a stroke of
luck to enter a U.S. hospital and receive precisely the right treatment,"
according to the article's authors. "A landmark Rand Corp. study published
in 2003 found that adults in the U.S. received, on average, just 54.9% of
recommended care for their conditions." We need more than luck when
dealing with something as life threatening as cancer.
Every patient brings in around 200 thousand
dollars for the treatments when all said and done.
If you are being diagnosed with cancer with one of these unreliable tests
invariable you will be told to undergo surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy,
hormonal therapy, etc. Most people mistakenly believe that all medical
treatments are solidly grounded in science, and that in order to be made
available to patients, such treatments must be unequivocally proven to be
effective by rigorous clinical trials. Nothing could be further than the truth.
The majority of the cancer patients in this country die
because of chemotherapy, which does not cure breast,
colon or lung cancer. This has been documented
for over a decade and nevertheless doctors
still utilize chemotherapy to fight these tumors.
Dr. Allen Levin
The Healing of Cancer
Natural cancer treatments are seen with suspicion by most medical
doctors, and they often say that they are unproven and therefore cannot be
used but the truth is chemotherapy and radiation treatments are a most
cruel waste of time. The Journal Clinical Oncology addresses exactly this
question of efficacy. Professor Graeme Morgan, Professor Robyn and Dr.
Michael Barton, all oncologists, published survival data from the Australian
cancer registries and the US National Cancer Institute's Surveillance
Epidemiology. They concluded that:
Chemotherapy contributes just over 2 percent
to improved survival in cancer patients!98
The authors found that the contribution of chemotherapy to 5-year
survival in adults was just:
• 2.3 percent in Australia
• 2.1 percent in the USA.
A German epidemiologist from the Heidelberg/Mannheim Tumour
Clinic, Dr. Ulrich Abel has done a comprehensive review and analysis of
every major study and clinical trial of chemotherapy ever done. Abel found
that the overall worldwide success rate of chemotherapy was "appalling,"
only 3%, because there was simply no scientific evidence available
anywhere that chemotherapy can "extend in any appreciable way the lives of
patients suffering from the most common organic cancers." He describes
chemotherapy as "a scientific wasteland" and states that at least 80 percent
of chemotherapy administered throughout the world is worthless.99
If I were to contract cancer, I would never turn to a certain
standard for the therapy of this disease. Cancer patients
who stay away from these centers have some chance to make it.
Prof. Gorge Mathe
Scientific Medicine Stymied
Oncologists remain optimistic that cytotoxic chemotherapy will
significantly improve cancer survival despite the mounting evidence of
chemotherapy's lack of effectiveness. Meta-analysis of seven trials that
provided individual patient data (866 patients) showed that palliative
chemotherapy was associated with a 35% reduction in the risk of death
(95% confidence interval 24% to 44%). This translates into an absolute
improvement in survival of 16% at both six and 12 months and an
improvement in median survival of 3.7 months.100 For this small margin of
life extension oncologists are quite prepared to continue bombarding
patients with more chemotherapy and radiation without thinking of the
detrimental side effects, which often include bankruptcy and physical
misery leading to the most terrible death imaginable. Tumors do shrink but
people still die.
With almost fifty percent of Americans in the near future doomed to
wake up one morning to discover they have cancer, and with the thirty-year
old war on cancer lost, it is time to look again at a subject that many of us
will eventually have to face. It has been a strange war to lose, with the
wrong people being the winners. At the beginning of the war about one in
four were known to contract cancer, and during these years that figure has
moved past one in three and is now hurtling toward the one in two mark.
Pathagen Differentiation
and Infectious Processes
Microbiology
As most doctor know different bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites are
responsible for the infectious process.101 In the first week of
agranulocytosis102, aerobic gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
(Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermis, streptococci, enterococci,
enterobacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) are more common. After the
second and third week, fungi, especially Candida species (albicans,
tropicalis, parapsilosis, krusei), and parasites such as Pneumocystis carinii,
are more common.
Heavy metals lead to chronic infections by fungi, bacteria, mycoplasma
and viruses. It is a big mistake to treat these infections without
changing the millieu. In all chronic disease heavy metals plays a role.
Dr. Klinghardt
Health advocate Tom McGregor wrote, “We have a tendency to think the
body as clean, and, except for the common cold or a virus. the blood is
sterile, but this is the furthest thing from the truth. After observing live
blood using a dark-field microscope, I know that even a healthy person's
blood is packed with microorganisms. The blood has nutrients, sugars and
oxygen, and the perfect environment and temperature for growth of
microorganisms. If you have ever seen pond water through a microscope,
you will have a sense of what the blood looks like. There is a constant war
going on within the body. If the immune system is healthy, parasites are
kept in check. However, in this modern-day lifestyle, where people eat lots
of white sugar, white flour, processed oil and fewer nutrients, the
microorganisms flourish. The microorganisms are not the problem; it is
their excretions into the blood. Imagine a million microorganisms
urinating into your bloodstream. The metabolic byproduct can
devastate healthy tissue and open the door to disease.”
In todays world of chronic illness it is impossible to separate heavy
metals from the infections we find in our patients. We need to get used to
the idea that all our patients are coming to us with elevated total body
burdens of heavy metals, toxins and pathogens. Cancer is a prime example
of how heavy metal toxicty, free radical damage, pathogen infection,
mitochondria dysfunction, immune system depression, mineral and vitamin
deficiencies, genetic and cell wall damage and oxidative stress all come
together into an end stage life threatening condition. Cancer treatment can
be approached in many ways but the best way would be to address all these
problems simultaneously.
Why can’t the doctors and highly learned
men of the world find a cure for cancer?
Most practitioners in the field of chelation hope to lower total body
burden of by lowering the toxins and heavy metals through detoxification
and chelation. However experienced doctors like Dr. Garry Gordon has said,
“Increasingly I am convinced that the pathogen burden may be the most
significant issue in a majority of patients, as we become increasingly toxic.
Thus we may have to first deal with the pathogen burden in order to offer
serious long-term benefits to our patients. We now know that infected tissue
can hold heavy metals so tightly that even IV chelation fails unless the
pathogens are dealt with effectively.”
If our immune systems fail to react properly to outside agents,
to viruses, bacterium or fungus, the result is an infection.
Knowing the difference between different forms of infection is the first
steps in knowing how to deal with the exponentially growing problem of
chronic infections. New strategies and alternatives to antibiotics are crucial
needs for as we will see antibiotics are causing a medical holocaust in both
young and old alike. One would think that by the 21st century the medical
community would have gotten at least the most basic information about
antibiotics meaning they would stop using them against viral and fungi
infections. In reality one of the principle reasons antibiotics are dramatically
overused is because they are given without any idea of what kind of microorganism is in fact attacking the patient.
The field of microbiology is important because most of the cells in our
bodies are not our own. From the invisible strands of fungi waiting to sprout
between our toes, to the kilogram of bacterial matter in our guts, we are best
viewed as walking 'superorganisms,' highly complex conglomerations of
human cells, bacteria, fungi and viruses. More than 500 different species of
bacteria exist in our bodies, making up more than 100 trillion cells. Because
our bodies are made of only some several trillion human cells, we are
somewhat outnumbered.
A virus is smaller than one cell. It lives within a cell (intracellular)
to survive and derives its ability to multiply from its host cell. It is not
responsive to antibiotics. A virus is not a living thing so antibiotics,
intended to kill living things, are not effective. A virus cannot multiply
outside a living host cell. There is no pharmaceutical treatment for a virus
but iodine is a nutritional substance that is effectively used as is ozone. The
body will fight off most viruses over the course of time especially if it is
supported to do so and this can be done with re-mineralization and chelation
of heavy metals.
Dr. Gérard V. Sunnen speaks almost poetically about viruses when
he says, “Viruses are far from being static entities. As quintessential
intracellular parasites they have developed, through millions of years of
cohabitation with their hosts, astoundingly sophisticated structures, survival,
and propagation mechanisms. They have adapted, modified their biological
strategies, and evolved impressive genetic diversity and mutational capacity
to cope with the changing ecology of planetary life.
Laboratory studies have shown that cytomegalovirus CMV can disrupt
cellular processes with the potential to promote malignant growth,
particularly affecting colorectal cancer-cell development. Dr. Charles S.
Cobbs comments: "Human cytomegalovirus nucleic acids and proteins can
be found that specifically localise to neoplastic cells in human colorectal
polyps and adenocarcinomas, and virus infection can induce important
oncogenic pathways in colon-cancer cells.103
Bacteria are living things. They can reproduce all by themselves and
do not need a host to survive. They are single-celled and reproduce by
duplicating themselves. Bacteria are responsive to antibiotics. Bacteria are
micro organisms that lack internal cell membranes. They are the most
common and ancient organisms on earth. Most bacteria are less than 1μm in
length. Microbiologists classify bacteria according to their basic shapes.
Spherical bacteria are called cocci, corkscrew-shaped are called spirilla or
spirochetes, rod-shaped are called bacilli, and threadlike bacteria are called
filamentous. Some bacteria, called pleiomorphic, take various forms
depending on conditions.
Chronic bacterial infections may lead to neoplasia. From infrequent
examples such as carcinomas that may follow typhoid carriage-induced
scarring and chronic draining sinuses in patients with osteomyelitis, we now
know that chronic H. pylori infection is important in the development of
gastric adenocarcinomas and possibly lymphomas. Microbial carcinogenesis
no longer need be considered the exclusive realm of virologists.104
Fungus is a saprophytic organism that can live by itself and does not
need a host to survive. A fungus can be sexual or asexual (vegetative). It can
reproduce on its own, outside the host's body, but once it is inside the host
(ingested, etc.) it turns to sexual reproduction and depends upon its host.
Fungi do not respond to antibiotics they respond to fungicides. 105 Before the
fungus is inhaled, it is an external fungus which reproduces on its own.
After it is inhaled and takes hold, it begins to reproduce sexually and relies
on its host. Each day we inhale a multitude of harmful fungi. Our body
throws most of this fungus off. But, if our immune system has been
compromised in some way by stress or other factors, we are much more
susceptible.
There are the many fungal mold related infections, diseases and
immune responses when they invade human or animal tissue.
Dr. MJ Dvmanov
Fungi (plural for fungus) are different from both viruses and bacteria in
many ways. They are larger, plant-like organisms that lack chlorophyll (the
substance that makes plants green and converts sunlight into energy). Since
fungi do not have chlorophyll to make food, they have to absorb food from
whatever they are growing on. Fungi can be very helpful – brewing beer,
making bread rise, decomposing trash – but they can also be harmful if they
steal nutrients from another living organism. When most people think of
fungi they picture the mushrooms that we eat.
The main identifying characteristic of fungi is the makeup of their cell
walls. Many contain a nitrogenous substance known as "chitin," which is
not found in the cell walls of plants, but can be found in the outer shells of
some crabs and mollusks. Most fungi are multicellular (made up of many
cells), with the exception of the yeasts. The cells make up a network of
branching tubes known as "hyphae," and a mass of hyphae is called a
"mycelium." The insides of the cells look a little different than bacterial
cells. First of all, the genetic material is gathered together and enclosed by a
membrane in what is called the "nucleus." Also, there are other structures
called "organelles" in the cell that help the cell to function, such as
mitochondria (converts energy), endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (makes
complex proteins), and other organelles. The Golgi apparatus forms many
types of proteins and enzymes. Lysosomes contain enzymes and help digest
nutrients. Centrioles are necessary for proper division of the cell. Both
bacteria and fungi have ribosomes, but those of the bacteria are smaller in
size and also reproduce differently.
Mold spore with single hypha extending from main body
Yeasts (fungi) are a family of organisms that occur everywhere in nature.
Similar to all other fungi, yeasts thrive in warm and moist areas, which
includes the human intestines, and in all humans the yeast thrives normally,
in the intestinal tract, it spread and over population being checked by the
immune system. When the immune system is impaired the fungus grows
and multiplies out of bounds and hence candidiasis results, one of the
reasons immune system function is impaired is by the improper use of
antibiotic drugs The most well known yeast is Candida albicans, a common
inhabitant of the human intestinal tract, skin and vagina. Normally
C.albicans is kept in balance by our so-called beneficial microflora.
Alteration of this balance can result in the Candida proliferating out of
control. This may result in the condition known as Candidiasis (moniliasis),
also known as Thrush. There are many species of the genus Candida that
cause disease. The infections caused by all species of Candida are called
candidiasis.
Generally, either low temperature or pH
favors the development of a budding yeast.
Candida albicans is an endogenous organism. It can be found in 40-80%
of human beings. It is present in the mouth, gut, and vagina. It may be
present as a commensal or a pathogenic organism. Infections with Candida
usually occur when a patient has some alteration in cellular immunity,
normal flora or normal physiology. Patients with decreased cellular
immunity have decreased resistance to fungal infections. Prolonged
antibiotic or steroid therapy destroys the balance of normal flora in the
intestine allowing the endogenous Candida to overcome the host. Invasive
procedures, such as cardiac surgery and indwelling catheters, produce
alterations in host physiology and some of these patients develop Candida
infections.
The harm done by Candida results from its waste product, acetaldehyde,
which in turn can affect the neurological, endocrine and immune systems.
Few chemicals can create as much havoc in the body as acetaldehydes.
Acetaldehydes accumulate in the brain, spinal cord, joints, muscles and
poison tissues.
Most microorganisms, including Candida, live on sugar. The more sugar
they get, the more they propagate. The problem is that everything turns to
sugar except protein, and even juice fasting supplies sugars to the blood.
Water fasting was thought to be the solution until Dr. Tullio Simoncini an
oncologist came along and started treating Candida with sodium
bicarbonate. As we shall see in other chapters Dr. Simoncini defines cancer
as a yeast/fungus infection and he speaks rather strongly about feeding sugar
to cancer patients first because the cells are starving for energy and secondly
because the sugar will help the bicarbonate enter the cancer cells/tumors and
kill them.
“Yeast and other microscopic fungal organisms compose a normal part
of the body's internal ecology. They are normally well tolerated by a healthy
immunity. If they increase in number, however, they cause additional stress
to the immune system. Is is widely recognized that mold, including yeast
and fungi, are among the most allergic of environmental exposures,” reports
Dr. Elmer M. Cranton. “Many pharmacological, dietary, environmental and
life-style factors encourage growth of yeast in body's of people in
industrialized countries. When yeast overgrowth becomes obvious, it is
easily diagnosed as an infection and treated appropriately with anti-fungal
medicines. More commonly, however, yeast colonization increases,
especially in the large intestine, but is not adequate to diagnose an infection.
It is an ecological imbalance in the body that adds to total load on the
immune system,” continues Dr. Cranton.
Yeast is well recognized to cause vaginitis in women, diaper rash and
thrush in infants. Yeast and fungus are also common causes of other skin
infections including athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm, paronychia,
intertrigo, anal itching, seborrhea (dandruff), tinea versicolor and
onychomycosis (causing fingernail and toenail deformities). Those
conditions are rarely considered serious, although many women troubled by
persistent or recurrent vaginitis would state otherwise.
“Fungal toxins are constantly being absorbed from toxin-producingfungi
living in the host, particularly in the gut. An increased fungal growth/toxin
production is caused by diets high in sugar, fruit, oils, fats, and fermented
foods such as beer, wine, bread and cheese. A decreased fungal
growth/toxin production is due to the anti-fungal action of fish/ fish oils,
garlic, onion, herbs, spices, soya, yogurt and green vegetables. Toxicity
caused by mycotoxins is significantly reduced by increasing the amount of
fiber in the diet,” reports Dr. A.V. Costantini from the W.H.O.
It is not widely recognized that those conditions often occur in patients
with previously weakened immune system, resulting in lowered resistance
to yeast infection. The most common and overlooked site for yeast
proliferation is the large intestine. Constipation is commonly caused by
yeast. Yeast in the colon release large amounts of allergens, toxins and other
hormonally active substances into the circulation, without raising a
suspicion of where the problems are coming from.
Although it most frequently infects the skin and mucosae, Candida can
cause pneumonia, septicemia or endocarditis in the immuno-compromised
patient. The establishment of infection with Candida species appears to be a
property of the host - not the organism. The more debilitated the host, the
more invasive the disease.
Infections, diseases caused by the growth of fungi in or on the body
are common. In most healthy people fungal infections are mild, involving
only the skin, hair, nails, or other superficial sites, and they clear up
spontaneously. They include the familiar ringworm and athlete's foot. In
someone with an impaired immune system, however, such infections, called
dermatophytoses, can persist for long periods. The organisms causing
dermatophytoses belong to the genera Microsporum, Epidermophyton, and
Trichophyton. This has been the classic view of fungi infections but it has
changed dramatically as immune system dysfunction has become the norm
not the exception. The big winners today in terms of destroyers of health are
fungus and yeasts. They are taking up residence and are now a modern day
plague infecting human pysiology in ways not clearly seen. The hugely
blind mistake allopathic has made in ignoring fungus and yeast infections
will bring up the iatrogenic death and disease statistics by a score or two.
Virsues, bacteria, fungus and yeast proliferate and
evolve in compromised biological environments.
Bacteria, primarily in the coccus-like form in microscopic
tissue sections, have also been found in various forms of cancer.
Mold can trigger an allergic reaction and asthma in sensitized
individuals (repeated exposure to mold or mold spores sometimes causes
previously non-sensitive individuals to become sensitized). About 15
million Americans are allergic to mold. The most common reactions are flulike symptoms and asthma. Those with chronic lung or immune problems,
are at risk for more serious reactions like fever, lung infections and a
pneumonia-like illness.
The famous Russian microbiologist N. A. Krasilnikov, in his seminal
book, Soil Microorganisms and Higher Plants, remarks about the
classification of bacteria, particularly the "actinomycetes" (the bacteria-like
and fungal-like microbes. He writes: “The classification of microorganisms
is very unsatisfactory. There is no common principle of classification in
microbiology. The classification of bacteria and actinomycetes is especially
inadequate. This can be explained by the peculiarity of those organisms, the
simplicity of their structure and growth and lack of external properties for
differentiation.”
In looking at live blood, you can clearly "see" that there are forms that
look like bacteria, microorganisms and parasites that not only are in
the blood, but that over time can grow and can change their shapes.
Dr. Robert Young asserts that “microforms such as viruses, bacteria and
fungi are all the same organism at various stages of their evolution.106 The
first stage of its evolution which is the primitive stage, is what medical
science calls a virus. Viruses are apathological. They are actually composed
of a microzyme at the core that is protein encapsulated. As the biological
environment becomes overly-acidified, the primitive stage evolves to the
intermediate stage, and this is bacterial. This culminates in the final stage
which includes the yeasts, fungi and moulds. These forms proliferate and
evolve in a compromised biological environment such as acidified blood
and tissues. Try a very simple experiment: what happens when you pull the
plug on your refrigerator? What appears first? The bacterial forms, then the
yeasts, funguses and moulds, and all of a sudden everything just decays,
which is what occurs in these final anatomical phases.”107
The idea that a proposed cancer germ could have more than
one form is a threat to doctors and some microbiologists.
Indeed the cancer germ has been described as having a
virus like and fungus-like, as well as mycoplasma-like phase.
Dr. Alan Cantwell
The Cancer Microbe
The concept of pleomorphism, the ability of microorganisms to change
has led different medical scientists to describe the infectious aspect (cancer
microbes) of cancer in different ways. Some people consider viruses to be of
the most concern in provoking cancer, but others call cancer provoking
microbes fungus or mold and others name the infectious agent as an acidfast bacteria (which mutated into or from a fungus) or mycobacterium.
According to Dr. Virginia Livingston cancer is caused by pleomorphic, cell
wall deficient bacteria. The various forms of the organism range in size
from submicroscopic virus-like forms, up to the size of bacteria, yeasts, and
fungi. In culture and in tissue the bacterial forms are variably 'acid-fast'
(having a staining quality like TB bacteria).
Understanding pleomorphism is essential to the understanding
of cancer and its cure, and the cure of many other diseases.
In 1975, using the electron microscope, Parmley et al. showed
"microorganism-like structures" in lymph nodes in some untreated patients
with Hodgkin's disease. These round forms with "internal composition"
were found within and outside of the cells and resembled mycoplasma and
cell wall deficient bacteria, suggesting "subclinical infection."108 Swiss
oncologist Christian Sauter and pathologist Michael Kurrer discovered
"intercellular rods" and "spheres" in six Hodgkin's disease patients, by use
of a special PAS stain, a traditional stain used to detect fungal infection of
tissue.109
When blood pH is is shifted out of its narrow range, these tiny
microorganisms can no longer live. In order to survive, they change
to a form which can survive. It is these new forms that can become
aggressive, parasitic and pathogenic agents within the blood.
Dr. MJ Dvmanov, a professor of medical mycology says, "Medical
mycologists and physicians understand that yeasts such as the common
Candidas are just a different form of the same fungi. There are many fungal
molds that can turn into a yeast and some of these yeasts turn into a mold.
We see this routinely in the laboratory. It is a phenomena called
dimorphism, some of these fungi will also take on additional forms and are
known as pleomorphs. This has been observed for over a 100 years and we
now fully understood how and why these various morphologies come into
being. "
The job of Candida albicans is to recognize and destroy harmful bacteria:
Without it, we would be defenseless against many pathogenic bacteria. If
the number of friendly bacteria is decreased, the immune system is
weakened, or other conditions for yeast proliferation occur (diet high in
sugar, improper pH in the digestive system) Candida albicans will shift
from yeast form to mycelial fungal form and start to invade the body. In
the yeast state, Candida is a non-invasive, sugar-fermenting organism, while
in fungal state it is invasive and can produce rhizoids, very long root-like
structures. Rhizoids can penetrate mucosa or intestinal walls, leaving
microscopic holes and allowing toxins, undigested food particles and
bacteria and yeast to enter the bloodstream. This condition is known as
Leaky Gut Syndrome and that is an explanation for many food and
environmental allergies.
Over the past 100 years there has been much research implicating a
microbe as, not the initial cause, but as the final cause of cancer. Final cause
meaning tumors are not distinquishable from the infections that inhabit
them. Dr. Royal Rife demonstrated that for some cases of cancer a virus was
the initial cause of cancer because some types of viruses can penetrate and
get inside the normal cells. Rife claimed that the microbe involved in cancer
changed forms depending on the terrain it lived in. Pleomorphic means that
a virus and bacteria may be different forms of the same microbe.
These microscopic invaders get their energy from blood sugars which
our bodies are supposed to be using, and they grow and multiply
by eating our bodies' proteins. Their needs can turn into our cravings.
These bacteria are ubiquitous and exist in the blood and tissues of all
human beings, part of the basic fabric of life. Modern medicine refuses to
acknowledge the obvious, that viruses, bacteria and fungus are
omipresent110 and are just waiting for the right conditions in which to begin
rapid multiplication. We see this process universally with in death of tissues
or in spoiled food. Rot is an underlying biological mechanism inherent
in all earthly species being the natural process of biological decay. In
terms of human physiology in the absence of a protective immune response,
cell wall deficient bacteria may become pathogenic and foster the
development of cancer and many other diseases of unknown etiology.
Cancer cells with their defective cell physiology would certainly create
fertile soil for the uncontrolled expansion of bacteria, fungi and viruses,
drawing down upon themselves the full wrath of these infectious agents.
How then can we separate the cancer from the infection when the process
would be continuous? Certainly we know that cancer patients are highly
prone to bacterial infection.
Microbiologists do not recognize or accept the various growth
forms and the bacterial 'life cycle' proposed by various cancer
microbe workers. Most bacteriologists do not accept the idea
of a bacterium changing from a coccus to a rod, or to a fungus.
Dr. Alan Cantwell
“Under appropriate conditions, bacteria can lose their cell wall and
become amorphous, smaller, highly pleomorphic “cell-wall deficient
forms.” Under suitable conditions, mycoplasma can enlarge to giant-sized
forms (“Large bodies”) resembling fungal and spore-like forms. It is vital to
be aware of and to recognise such unusual and hard-to-detect forms in tissue
microscopic sections because, in my experience, this mycoplasmal form is
the form the cancer microbe takes inside the body in human disease. Due to
their small size, Mycobacteria form a bridge between (larger) bacteria and
smaller) viruses. Microbiologists love to separate (and classify) viruses,
bacteria, mycoplasma, and fungi, as distinct entities. In fact, there is
interplay between all of them. It is well-known that bacteria can be infected
with viruses. Nevertheless, scientists cannot seem to understand how
microbes can change into virus-like, mycoplasma-like and fungus-like
infectious agents,” says Dr. Cantwell.
Besides inhalation, people can become exposed to mold
through skin contact and eating moldy food. Toxic molds
can produce several toxic chemicals called mycotoxins that
can damage your health. These chemicals are present on the
spores and small mold fragments that are released into the air.
Over a hundred years ago Dr. William Russell, a pathologist in the
School of Medicine at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh, outlined his
histopathologic findings of “a characteristic organism of cancer” that he
observed microscopically in fuchsine-stained tissue sections from all forms
of cancer that he examined, as well as in certain cases of tuberculosis,
syphilis and skin infection. The parasite was seen within the tissue cells
(intracellular) and outside the cells (extracellular). The size of Russell’s
parasite ranged from barely visible, up to “half again as large as a red blood
corpuscle.” The largest round forms were easily seen microscopically. The
large size of some of these bodies suggested a fungal or yeast-like parasite.
My work is based on the conviction, supported by many
years of observations, comparisons and experiences, that
the necessary and sufficient cause of the tumour is to be
sought in the vast world of the fungi, the most adaptable,
aggressive and evolved micro-organisms known in nature.
Dr. Tullio Sumancini
“Microbes are partially “classified” in microbiology according to size,”
continues Dr. Cantwell. “Viruses are submicroscopic and cannot be
visualized with an ordinary light microscope. Unlike bacteria, viruses can
only replicate inside a cell. Bacteria can be seen microscopically, but
smaller submicroscopic and filterable bacterial forms (now known as
nanobacteria) are also known. Fungi and yeast forms are much larger than
bacteria, and “mold” can obviously be seen with the naked eye. Larger
Russell bodies are indeed similar in size to certain spore forms of fungi.
However, what is generally not appreciated is that bacteria can grow into
fungal-sized large bodies, depending on certain laboratory conditions.”
Dr. Young states that all illness is but this one constitutional
disease, its result is mycotoxicoses - toxicity caused by
mycotic infection, or in other words, a yeast and fungus
infection - the great decomposers of living and dead bodies.
A German biologist, Ernest Haeckele (1834-1919), departing from the
Linnaeian concept that makes for two great kingdoms of living things
(vegetable and animal) denounced the difficulties of categorising all those
microscopic organisms which, because of their characteristics and
properties, could not be attributed to either the vegetable or animal
kingdom. For these organisms, he proposed a third kingdom, called Protists.
"This vast and complex world includes a range of entities beginning with
those that have sub-cellular structure -- existing at the limits of life -- such
as viroids and viruses, moving through the mycoplasms, to finally,
organisms of greater organisation: bacteria, actinomycetes, mixomycetes,
fungi, protozoa, and perhaps even some microscopic algae."
Blood is under pH control. Ideally it has a pH in a narrow range around
7.3, which is slightly alkaline. A pH around 7.3 is the perfect environment
where the normal pathogens in the blood live in harmony with the body. But
when blood pH is disturbed and is shifted out of that narrow range, native
microorganisms, in order to survive would change to a form which can
survive. It is these new forms that become aggressive, parasitic and
pathogenic agents within the blood. Dr. Guenther Enderlein, a German
bacteriologist, contended there are thousands of forms and many of these
are able to overcome the body's defense mechanisms, causing multiple
disease situations. When our body's blood pH changes away from the ideal,
it can become an environment for opportunistic microorganisms to grow
and flourish, what could be more simple to understand.
Dr. Simoncini suggests, “Fungi can well have their own kingdom
because of the absence of photosynthetic pigmentation, the ability to be
mono-cellular, and multi-cellular, and, finally, their possession of a distinct
nucleus. Additionally, fungi possess a property that is strange when
compared to all other micro-organisms: the ability to have a basic
microscopic structure (hypha) with a simultaneous tendency to grow to
remarkable dimensions (up to several kilograms), keeping unchanged the
capacity to adapt and reproduce at any size. From this point of view,
therefore, fungi cannot be considered true organisms, but cellular aggregates
sui generis with an organismic behaviour, since each cell maintains its
survival and reproductive potential intact regardless of the structure in
which it exists.”
Several antifungal agents are available to treat these infections, but from
a pharmaceutical point of view it has been much more difficult for scientists
to create successful antifungal drugs than antibacterial drugs because the
cells of fungi are much closer in structure to the cells of animals than are
bacteria. In the attempts to create pharmaceuticals it is hard to find an agent
that will kill the fungal cells and leave the animal cells unharmed. The most
successful drugs that have been created prevent the formation of chitin, and
therefore prevent the fungus from creating new cell walls and spreading.
The cell wall is the only structure that is not shared by the animal and fungal
cells.
Other drugs bind to specific fungal proteins and prevent growth.
Unfortunately, many of the drugs available are only fungistatic, meaning
they can only prevent further growth rather than fungicidal, meaning to kill
the fungus. Many of the drugs used for serious fungal infections have
potentially toxic side effects. In the next chapters we will discover an
exciting natural treatment for fungus and yeasts, sodium bicarbonate.
Chemotherapy and radiation can actually
enhance existing fungal and yeast infections.111
"Seaweeds (iodine) have exceptional value in the treatment of
candida overgrowth. They contain selenium and (all the) other minerals
necessary for rebuilding immunity; furthermore the rich iodine content
is used by enzymes in the body to produce iodine-charged free radicals
which deactivate yeasts. Before the advent of anti-fungal drugs, iodine
was the standard medical treatment for yeasts. When candidiasis is
complicated with tumours or cancers, then seaweed is of additional
benefit. Salt should normally be restricted during candida
overgrowth".112
Their high mineral, especially selenium content, build up immunity
against Candida. Enzymes use the rich iodine in seaweeds to produce
iodine-charged free radicals, which deactivate yeasts. Sea greens help to
stop vaginal infections: Iodine-rich sea plants are effective against a wide
range of organisms like trichomonas, candida and Chlamydia. A douche
solution with 1 tbsp dried sea plants to 1 qt water, used 2x daily for 7-14
days, is effective against most of these pathogens.
Povidone iodine effervescent tablet has marked germicidal efficacy
and is an ideal disinfectant. Povidone iodine solutions containing
different available iodine is efficient in killing staphylococcus
aureus, escherichia coli, and candida albicans, respectively.113
If you have reason to believe that other measures have not eliminated all
Candida in the blood or internal tissues, you may take a course of oral
iodine. Lugol's solution is an internal iodine solution designed to eliminate
Candida and possibly viruses and other microbes from the bloodstream.
Obtain 100ml of Lugol's solution, also labelled Aqueous Iodine Oral
Solution B.P., from a chemist. Take a test drop in liquid other then just
water to make it taste less strong. If this does not cause an allergic reaction,
continue to take 4 x 6 drops daily in liquid or mixed with food, but not
together with vitamins A, C, E, grape seed extract or cysteine. Iodine is an
oxidant and it is best to reduce the intake of antioxidants while using it.
Continue for 3 weeks, but interrupt if you develop a serious reaction.
Many alternative physicians will use Lugol's for these conditions -- just 6
drops, 4 times daily (24 drops per day). (Read Dr. Orian Truss).
Precautions: Lugol's, like bio-oxidative preparations, is oxidative. You
should avoid taking anti-oxidant supplements (Vitamin A, C, E, selenium,
glutithione, etc.) for the duration of your "higher-than-normal" usage of
Lugol's. You should also follow high usage of iodine products with
Microflora Restoration - or similar products to replenish vital intestinal
flora.
The IMVA highly recommends another type of iodine in its narcent
form. Not is it low in toxicity but the iodine molecules have been broken
leaving the iodine in its atomic form. It is more readibly absorbable and is in
the form the body uses to instantly create thyroid hormone. (For more
information on iodine see the iodine section of Survial Medicine.)
Dr. Tullio Simoncini on Anti-Fungins
At the moment, against fungi there is no useful
remedy other than, in my opinion, sodium bicarbonate.
Dr. Tullio Simoncini
“The anti-fungins that are currently on the market, in fact, do not have the
ability to penetrate the masses (except perhaps early administrations of azoli
or of amfotercin B delivered parenterally), since they are conceived to act
only at a stratified level of epithelial type. They are therefore unable to
affect myceliar aggregations set volumetrically and also masked by the
connectival reaction that attempts to circumscribe them.”
“We have seen that fungi are also able to quickly mutate their genetic
structure. That means that after an initial phase of sensitivity to fungicides,
in a short time they are able to codify them and to metabolise them without
being damaged by them – rather, paradoxically, they extract a benefit from
their high toxicity on the organism.”
“This happens, for example, in the prostateinvasive carcinoma with
congealed pelvis. For this affliction, there is a therapy with anti-fungins
which at first is very effective at the symptomatological level but through
time it consistently loses its effectiveness.”
“Sodium bicarbonate, instead, as it is extremely diffusible and without
that structural complexity that fungi can easily codify, retains for a long
time its ability to penetrate the masses. This is also and especially due to the
speed at which it disintegrates them, which makes fungi’s adaptability
impossible, thus it cannot defend itself. A therapy with bicarbonate should
therefore be set up with strong dosage, continuously, and with pauseless
cycles in a destruction work which should proceed from the beginning to the
end without interruption for at least 7-8 days for the first cycle, keeping in
mind that a mass of 2-3-4 centimetres begins to consistently regress from
the third to the fourth day, and collapses from the fourth to the fifth.”
“Generally speaking, the maximum limit of the dosage that can be
administered in a session gravitates around 500 cc of sodium bicarbonate at
five per cent solution, with the possibility of increasing or decreasing the
dosage by 20 per cent in function of the body mass of the individual to be
treated and in the presence of multiple localisations upon which to apportion
a greater quantity of salts.”
“We must underline that the dosages indicated, as they are harmless, are
the very same that have already been utilised without any problem for more
than 30 years in a myriad of other morbid situations such as:
Severe diabetic ketoacidosis
Cardio-respiratory reanimation
Pregnancy
Haemodialysis
Peritoneal dialysis
Pharmacological toxicosis
Hepatopathy
Vascular surgery
“With the aim to reach the maximum effect, sodium bicarbonate should
be administered directly on the neoplastic masses which are susceptible of
regression only by destroying the fungal colonies. This is possible by the
selective arteriography (the visualisation through instrumentation of specific
arteries) and by the positioning of the arterial port-a-cath (these devices are
small basins used to join the catheter). These methods allow the positioning
of a small catheter directly in the artery that nourishes the neoplastic mass,
allowing the administration of high dosages of sodium bicarbonate in the
deepest recesses of the organism.”
“With this method, it is possible to reach almost all organs; they can be
treated and can benefit from a therapy with bicarbonate salts which is
harmless, fast, and effective with only the exception of some bone areas
such as vertebrae and ribs, where the scarce arterial irrigation does not allow
sufficient dosage to reach the targets. Selective arteriography therefore
represents a very powerful weapon against fungi that can always be used
against neoplasias, firstly because it is painless and leaves no after effects,
secondly because the risks are very low.”
In some cases, the aggressive power of fungi is so great as to allow it,
with only a cellular ring made up of three units, to tighten in its grip, capture
and kill its prey in a short time notwithstanding the prey's desperate
struggling. Fungus, which is the most powerful and the most organised
micro-organism known, seems to be an extremely logical candidate as a
cause of neoplastic proliferation.
1) Fungi are heterotrophic organisms and therefore need, as far as
nitrogen and carbon are concerned, pre-formed compounds. Of these
compounds, simple carbohydrates, for example monosaccarides (glucose,
fructose, and mannose) are among the most utilised sugars. This means that
fungi, during their life cycle, depend on other living beings, which must be
exploited in different degrees for their feeding. This occurs both in a
saprophytic way (that is, by feeding on organic waste) and in a parasitic way
(that is, by attacking the tissue of the host directly).
2) Fungi show a great variety of reproductive manifestations (sexual,
asexual, gemmation; these manifestations can often be observed
simultaneously in the same mycete), combined with a great
morphostructural variety of organs. All of this is directed toward the end of
spore formation, to which the continuity and propagation of the species is
entrusted.
3) In mycology, it is often possible to observe a particular
phenomenon called heterocarion, characterised by the coexistence of normal
and mutant nuclei in cells that have undergone a hyphal fusion. Nowadays,
phitopathologists are quite worried about the creation of individuals that are
genetically quite different even from the parents. This difference has taken
place by means of those reproductive cycles, which are called parasexual.
The indiscriminate use of phitopharmaceuticals has in fact often determined
mutations of the nuclei of many parasite fungi with the consequent creation
of heterocarion -- and this is sometimes particularly virulent in its
pathogenicity (4).
4) In the parasitic dimension, fungi can develop from the hyphas
more or less beak-shaped specialised structures that allow the penetration of
the host.
5) The production of spores can be so abundant as to always include,
at every cycle, tens, hundreds, and even thousands of millions of elements
that can be dispersed at a remarkable distance from the point of origin (a
small movement is sufficient, for example, to implement immediate
diffusion).
6) Spores have an immense resistance to external aggression, for
they are capable of staying dormant in adverse conditions for many years,
while preserving unaltered their regenerative potentialities.
7) The development coefficient of the hyphal apexes after the
germination is extremely fast (100 microns per minute under ideal
conditions) with ramification capacity, thus with the appearance of a new
apex region that in some cases is in the neighbourhood of 40-60 seconds (6).
8) The shape of the fungus is never defined, for it is imposed by the
environment in which the fungus develops. It is possible to observe, for
example, the same mycelium in the simple isolated hyphas status in a liquid
environment or in the form of aggregates that are increasingly solid and
compact up to the formation of pseudoparenchymas and of filaments and
mycelial strings (7).
9) By the same token, it is possible to observe in different fungi the
same shape whenever they must adapt to the same environment (this is
called dimorphism). The partial or total substitution of nourishing
substances induces frequent mutations in fungi, and this is further proof of
their high adaptability to any sub-strata.
10) When the nutritional conditions are precarious, many fungi react
with hyphal fusion (among nearby fungi) which allows them to explore the
available material more easily, using more complete physiological
processes. This property, which substitutes co-operation for competition,
makes them distinct from any other microorganism, and for this reason
Buller calls them social organisms (8).
11) When a cell gets old or becomes damaged (i.e. by a toxic
substance or by a pharmaceutical) many fungi whose intercellular septums
are provided with a pore react by implementing of a defence process called
protoplasmic flux through which they transfer the nucleus and cytoplasm of
the damaged cell into a healthy one, thus conserving unaltered all their
biological potential.
12) The phenomena regulating the development of hyphal
ramification are unknown to date (9). They consist either of a rhythmic
development, or in the appearance of sectors which, though they originate
from the hyphal system, are self-regulating (10), that is, independent of the
regulating action and behaviour of the rest of the colony.
13) Fungi are capable of implementing an infinite number of
modifications to their own metabolism in order to overcome the defence
mechanism of the host. These modifications are implemented through
plasmatic and biochemical actions as well as by a volumetric increase
(hypertrophy) and numerical hyperplasy of the cells that have been attacked
(11).
14) Fungi are so aggressive as to attack not only plants, animal
tissue, food supplies and other fungi, but even protozoa, amoebas and
nematodes.
Candid Albicans clearly emerges as the sole candidate for tumoral
proliferation. If we stop for a second and reflect on its characteristics, we
can observe many analogies with neoplastic disease. The most evident are:
1) Ubiquitous attachment: no organ or tissue is spared
2) The constant absence of hyperpyrexia
3) Sporadic and indirect involvement of the differential tissues
4) Invasiveness that is almost exclusively of the focal type
5) Progressive debilitation
6) Refractivity to any type of treatment
7) Proliferation facilitated by multiplicity of indifferent cofounders
8) Symptomatological basic configuration with structure tending to
the chronic
We therefore have to hypothesise that Candida, in the moment it is
attacked by the immunological system of the host or by a conventional
antimycotic treatment, does not react in the usual, predicted way, but
defends itself by transforming itself into ever-smaller and non-differentiated
elements that maintain their fecundity intact to the point of hiding their
presence both to the host organism and to possible diagnostic investigations.
The Candida's behaviour may be considered to be almost elastic:
When favourable conditions exist, it thrives on an epithelium; as soon as the
tissue reaction is engaged, it massively transforms itself into a form that is
less productive but impervious to attack -- the spore. If then continuous subepithelial solutions take place coupled with a greater a-reactivity in that very
moment the spore gets deeper in the lower connective tissue in such an
impervious state, it is irreversible. In fact, the Candida takes advantage of a
structural interchangeability utilising, according to the difficulties to
overcome its biological niche.
Factors that predispose a patient to candidiasis are general health
concerns include all conditions that affect the immune system, including
systemic disease, endocrine abnormalities, diabetes, drugs such as
immunosuppressive agents, systemic steroids, antibiotics, and oral
contraceptives may increase the likelihood of development of candidiasis.
Long term antibiotic treatment for acne or recurrent urinary tract infection is
often implicated in the overgrowth of Candida. The candidiasis may become
extensive if the patients are treated with antibiotics on the erroneous
assumption that the infection is bacterial.
It is therefore urgent, on the basis of the above-mentioned
considerations, to recognise the hazardous nature of such a pathogenic
agent, which is capable of easily taking the most various biological
configurations, both biochemical and structural, in function of the condition
of the host organism. The fungal expansion gradient in fact becomes steeper
as the tissue that is the host of the mycotic invasion becomes less eutrophic,
and thus less reactive.
Sodium Bicarbonate
Lessons in Cancer and General pH Management
Cancer victims do not delay in seeking treatment but they are confused
by the vast alternatives and are victimized by the cancer industry who can
think of nothing better than treatments that cause cancer to cure cancer.
Chemo-therapy is sourced in World War One mustard gas technology and
radiation therapy is for all intent and purpose a therapy straight out of the
depths of hell. Sodium bicarbonate is at the absolute other side of the
universe from the “slash and burn” nightmare therapies. The cancer drug
Velcade, which can cost $48,000 a patient and comes with a long list of
terrible side effects stands next to safe and more effective sodium
bicarbonate whose cost for treatment could not be over fifty dollars for the
bicarbonate.
The extracellular (interstitial) pH (pHe) of solid tumours
is significantly more acidic compared to normal tissues. 114
Case one: A patient diagnosed with pulmonary neoplasm of the lung,
underwent treatment with sodium bicarbonate, before submitting to surgery
to remove part of the lung. Treatment consisted of sodium bicarbonate
administered orally, by aerosol, and IV. After first treatment reduction of
nodules and absorption was evident, and after 8 months was no longer
visible at all. Treatments also reduced size of the liver and results were
confirmed by both X-ray and CAT scan.
The countless names of illnesses do not really matter.
What does matter is that they all come from the
same root cause, too much tissue acid waste in the body!
Dr. Theodore A. Baroody
Studies have shown how manipulation of tumor pH with sodium
bicarbonate enhances some forms of chemotherapy.115 Proteins can be
modified both in vivo and in vitro by increases in acidity. In fact pH is the
regulatory authority that controls most cellular processes. The pH balance of
the human bloodstream is recognized by medical physiology texts as one of
the most important biochemical balances in all of human body chemistry.
pH is the acronym for "Potential Hydrogen". In definition, it is the degree of
concentration of hydrogen ions in a substance or solution. It is measured on
a logarithmic scale from 0 to 14. Higher numbers mean a substance is more
alkaline in nature and there is a greater potential for absorbing more
hydrogen ions. Lower numbers indicate more acidity with less potential for
absorbing hydrogen ions.
Fluctuations in hydrogen-ion concentration have profound effects on
body chemistry. Only a narrow pH range is compatible with life because
even small changes in [H+] have dramatic effects on normal cell function.
The prominent consequences of fluctuations in [H+] include changes in
excitability of nerve and muscle cells. The major clinical effect of increased
[H+] (acidosis) is depression of the central nervous system. Peripheral
nerves can become so excitable that they fire even in the absence of normal
stimuli. Such overexcitability of the afferent (sensory) nerves gives rise to
abnormal “pins and needles” tingling sensations which commonly a
precursor to full is blown neuropathy. Hydrogen-ion concentration exerts
a marked influence on enzyme activity. Even slight deviations in [H+]
alter the shape and activity of protein molecules. Since enzymes are
proteins, a shift in the body acid-base balance disturbs the normal pattern of
metabolic activity catalyzed by these enzymes. Some cellular chemical
reactions are accelerated; others are depressed.116
Low grade chronic metabolic acidosis exists in humans eating
ordinary modern diets and the degree of acidosis increases with age.
Our body pH is very important because pH controls the speed of our
body's biochemical reactions. It does this by controlling the speed of
enzyme activity as well as the speed that electricity moves through our
body. The higher (more alkaline) the pH of a substance or solution, the more
electrical resistance that substance or solution holds. Therefore, electricity
travels slower with higher pH. If we say something has an acid pH, we are
saying it is hot and fast. Alkaline pH on the other hand, bio-chemically
speaking, is slow and cool.
In the stomach, bicarbonate participates in a mucus-bicarbonate barrier
regarded as the first line of the protective and repair mechanisms.
For digestion, bicarbonate is naturally produced by the gastric membrane
in the stomach. This production will be low in alkaline conditions and will
rise in response to acidity. In healthy individuals this adaptive mechanism
will control the pH perfectly. The most important effect of bicarbonate
ingestion is the change in acid-base balance as well as blood pH and
bicarbonate concentration in biological fluids.
Bicarbonate has been studied particularly in physically active people.
Among the types of acid produced, lactic acid generated during exercise is
buffered by bicarbonate. In a study on sports, a dose of 0.3 g per kg of body
weight of sodium bicarbonate was given (15.25 g bicarbonate for a man of
70 kg) to subjects before performing 30 minutes cycling. While blood pH
was increased and then maintained constant with this bicarbonate load due
to the changes in blood bicarbonate concentrations, increased acidity and
decreased bicarbonate blood concentration were observed in controlled
subjects.
Bicarbonate also reduces the acidity of dietary components such as
proteins. As an example, adding sodium or even more potassium
bicarbonate to subjects on a high protein diet known to acidify urine and
leading to hypercalciuria (high level of calcium in urine) has been shown to
greatly reduce calcium urinary excretion. The effect has been observed with
5.5 g of bicarbonate supplement received daily for two weeks. A recent
study presented in the review of literature highlights that a bicarbonate-rich
mineral water could be useful in the prevention of the recurrence of calcium
oxalate and uric acid renal stones.
Many oral hydration solutions contain bicarbonate
showing the usefulness of bicarbonate to control
water absorption in patients at risk of dehydration.
Sodium intake is restricted in patients with hypertension, but it is
demonstrated that the accompanying anion, such as bicarbonate or chloride,
plays an important role. It is now well established that sodium bicarbonate
as well as citrate and phosphate salts do not raise blood pressure to the same
extent as do the corresponding amounts of sodium chloride. A study on
mineral water containing sodium bicarbonate has confirmed the absence of
effect on blood pressure in elderly individuals.
Bicarbonate is one of the major buffering systems used to maintain the
pH of mammalian blood. It is used in the formation of acid in the lumen on
the stomach. It is used to neutralize the pH of the chyme leaving the
stomach and entering the small intestine. A buffer system counteracts the
effects of adding acid or alkali to the blood. The resulting pH change is less
than if the buffer were not present. Blood contains two basic buffer systems:
bicarbonate and nonbicarbonate. Each consists of a weak acid or acids and
their conjugate base or bases.
The bicarbonate system buffers the effects of fixed acids and alkalies that
are added to the blood; the acid component is H2CO3 and the base is
HCO3-. The nonbicarbonate system consists mainly of proteins and
phosphates and serves to buffer changes in carbon dioxide. The bicarbonate
and nonbicarbonate buffer systems are in equilibrium with each other.
Measuring the components of either system will give the hydrogen ion
concentration ([H+]) or the pH of the blood.
Cancer tissues have a much higher concentration of
toxic chemicals, pesticides, etc then do healthy tissues.
In 1973, a study conducted by the Department of Occupational Health at
Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem found that when
cancerous breast tissue is compared with non-cancerous tissue from
elsewhere in the same woman's body, the concentration of toxic chemicals
such as DDT and PCBs was "much increased in the malignant tissue
compared to the normal breast and adjacent adipose tissue."117 This should
say something to the oncologists of the world about chemical etiologies that
are going undiagnosed and untreated.
Part of any successful cancer treatment includes chelation and
detoxification of heavy metals and a host of toxic chemicals, which are all
invading our bodies’ everyday. It is literally raining mercury, uranium
contamination is increasing, lead we are discovering is even more toxic than
anyone ever believed and is even in the bread that we eat, arsenic is in our
chicken, the government still wants you to get your yearly mercury flu shot,
dentists of course are still using hundreds of tons of mercury exposing
patients to internalized toxic waste dumps (mercury vapors from hell),
fluoride is still put in the water and chlorine is breathed in most showers.
This just covers a small slice of the toxic disaster that is the hallmark of life
in the 21st century. But oncologists have just not been able to understand
that cancer patients are suffering from poisoning on a massive scale
with all the chemicals scientists have already established cause cancer.
Both cancer cells and fungi can
metabolize nutrients in the absence of oxygen.
Substituting a sodium bicarbonate solution for saline infusion prior to
administration of radiocontrast material seems to reduce the incidence of
nephropathy, according to a report in the Journal for the American Medical
Association for May 19. Contrast-induced nephropathy accounts for more
than 10% of hospital-acquired renal failure, senior author Dr. Thomas P.
Kennedy, formerly of the Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte, North
Carolina, and his colleagues note. Moreover, animal studies have shown that
the bicarbonate anion is better than the chloride anion at preventing renal
failure from ischemia or doxorubicin. They theorize that increases urinary
pH reduces oxidative injury in the kidney.118
In a JAMA editorial, Dr. Glenn M. Chertow points out that sodium
bicarbonate is far more practical than using N-acetylcysteine or
hemofiltration, and applying these strategies to patients at lower risk could
end up being quite expensive. Even though larger prospective studies are
required before sodium bicarbonate could become routine practice, such
studies "would be simple, inexpensive and low risk," writes Dr. Chertow, a
physician at the University of California, San Francisco.
The extracellular (interstitial) pH (pHe) of solid tumours is significantly
more acidic compared to normal tissues. In-vitro, low pH reduces the uptake
of weakly basic chemotherapeutic drugs and, hence, reduces their
cytotoxicity. This phenomenon has been postulated to contribute to a
'physiological' resistance to weakly basic drugs in vivo. Doxorubicin is a
weak base chemotherapeutic agent that is commonly used in combination
chemotherapy to clinically treat breast cancers. This report demonstrates
that MCF-7 human breast cancer cells in vitro are more susceptible to
doxorubicin toxicity at pH 7.4, compared to pH 6.8. Furthermore 31Pmagnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has shown that the pHe of MCF-7
human breast cancer xenografts can be effectively and significantly
raised with sodium bicarbonate in drinking water. The bicarbonateinduced extracellular alkalinization leads to significant improvements in the
therapeutic effectiveness of doxorubicin against MCF-7 xenografts in vivo.
Although physiological resistance to weakly basic chemotherapeutics is
well-documented in vitro and in theory, these data represent the first in vivo
demonstration of this important phenomenon.119
The IMVA recommends alkaline foods and sodium bicarbonate so that
the pH of the blood remains high, which in turn means that the blood is
capable of carrying more oxygen. This in turn keeps every cell in the body
at peak efficiency and helps the cell eliminate waste products.
Detoxification and chelation will proceed more easily and safely under
slightly alkaline conditions. Increased urinary pH reduces oxidative injury
in the kidney so it behooves us to work clinically with bicarbonate.
Patients receiving sodium bicarbonate achieved urine pHs
of 6.5 as opposed to 5.6 with those receiving sodium chloride.
This alkalinization is theorized to have a protective effect against
the formation of free-radicals that may cause nephropathy.
Dr. Michael Metro
Body ph level changes are intense in the profundity of their biological
effects. Even genes directly experience external pH. pH differentially
regulates a large number of proteins. Increased oxidative stress, which
correlates almost exponentially with ph changes into the acidic, is especially
dangerous to the mitochondria, which suffer the greatest under oxidative
duress. Epigenetics, which may now have begun eclipsing traditional
genetics, commonly describes how factors such as diet and smoking, rather
than inheritance influence how genes behave.
The great advantage of knowing the prime cause of a disease
is that it can then be attacked logically and over a broad front.
Dr. Otto Warburg
Dr. Otto Warburg, two times Nobel Prize winner, stated in his book, The
Metabolism of Tumors that the primary cause of cancer was the replacement
of oxygen in the respiratory cell chemistry by the fermentation of sugar. The
growth of cancer cells is initiated by a fermentation process, which can be
triggered only in the absence of oxygen at the cell level. What Warburg was
describing was a classic picture of acidic conditions. Just like overworked
muscle cells manufacture lactic acid by-products as waste, cancerous cells
spill lactic acid and other acidic compounds causing acid pH.
After we just saw how important sulfur is in human health and how
useful a basic chemical like sodium thiosulfate can be, we now get a crash
course in the power of sodium bicarbonate and the act of turning cancer
cells alkaline. We might as well shoot a guided cruise missile at them - so
effective, safe, quick and precise is sodium bicarbonate, inexpensive as
well. Just a few pennies a day of it will keep cancer further away, keeping it
at arms length from ourselves, patients and loved ones. It is something we
can use to treat our water with as well, excellent to put in distilled or reverse
osmosis water or any water for that matter.
A true understanding of cancer is impossible without understanding why
some tissues in the body are deficient in oxygen and therefore prone to
cancer. Cancerous tissues are acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline.
Water (H2O) decomposes into H+ and OH-. When a solution contains more
H+ than OH- then it is said to be acid. When it contains more OH- than H+
then it is said to be alkaline. When oxygen enters an acid solution it can
combine with H+ ions to form water. Oxygen helps to neutralize the acid,
while at the same time the acid prevents oxygen from reaching the tissues
that need it. Acidic tissues are devoid of free oxygen. An alkaline solution is
just the reverse. Two hydroxyl ions (OH-) can combine to produce one
water molecule and one oxygen atom. In other words, an alkaline solution
can provide oxygen to the tissues.
The pH scale goes from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Below 7 is acid and
above 7 is alkaline. The blood, lymph and cerebral spinal fluid in the human
body are designed to be slightly alkaline at a pH of 7.4.
Dr. Arthur C. Guyton, who is considered the world's most recognized
author on human physiology, has spent the better part of his life studying
the pH or acid/alkaline balance of the body. In his "Textbook of Medical
Physiology", which is used to train medical students, he states "The first
step in maintaining health is to alkalize the body. The second step is to
increase the number of negative hydrogen ions. These are the two most
important aspects of homeostasis." In 1931 Dr. Otto Warburg discovered
that "to become malignant cancer must have low oxygen, strong acid
environment"
When a person’s body becomes acidic they start to get a condition called
Blood Rouleau. This condition is when the red blood cells stack up like
pennies in a coin roll. The red blood cells are responsible for transporting
oxygen and nutrients to the body and removing waste. When stacked up the
red blood cells cannot transport as much oxygen and nutrients to the body
and waste removal is also reduced because of lack of surface area on the red
blood cells. A person in this condition often feels tired and tends to overeat
because their body is starving. More protein and carbohydrates are
consumed which leads to more Blood Rouleau due to the fact most
carbohydrates and proteins are acidic. In this condition the white blood cells
tend to be smaller and less active which allows people to get sick more
easily due to less responsive immune system.
If someone is very acidic, I would assume they are very tired and have
low oxygen and low waste removal. Since the red blood cells also transport
nutrients this person would want a quick fix like sugar. This condition also
tends to lead to crystals in the blood like cholesterol and uric acid.
A diet too high in protein or high in carbohydrates can cause the body to
be acidic. A person must get and stay alkaline to be healthy; listed at the end
of this page are alkalizing foods that will help. Eat as many of these foods
raw (or cooked at less than 180 F) as possible.
When a person’s body becomes alkaline the red blood cells can then take
on more oxygen and nutrients to the body and remove unwanted waste.
Think about a roll of coins and all the surface area it has. Now think about
50 coins and all their surface area. Now think about the coins in a roll.
Which has more surface area to do the work? Which would allow better
filtration in the kidneys?
Once a person is alkaline you can understand how they can function
better and on less food, which leads to weight loss, less uric acid crystals,
less pain, and the body working the way God intended.
What do we clean our pets with? What do we clean ourselves with?
What do we clean the inside of our bodies with? Drink water! The body is
around 70% water, not tea, soda, or juice.
If you want to get (or stay) acidic, drink soda. They all have a low pH.
If you want to get alkaline, drink distilled water with lots of lemon juice.
This is also very good to help remove kidney and gallstones.
People should stop all soft drinks, and remove as much white flour and
sugar from their diet as possible. Eat fruits 1 hour after other foods. Drink
lots of distilled or highly filtered water with lemon juice to help alkalize the
body.
Cancer patients have a saliva pH of 4.5 to 5.5. Healthy people have a pH
of 7.0 to 7.5. Test saliva first thing in the morning before anything is placed
in the mouth.
At a pH slightly above 7.4 cancer cells become dormant and at pH 8.5
cancer cells will die while healthy cells will live. This has given rise to a
variety of treatments based on increasing the alkalinity of the tissues such as
vegetarian diet, the drinking of fresh fruit and vegetable juices, and dietary
supplementation with alkaline minerals such as calcium, potassium,
magnesium, cesium and rubidium. But nothing can compare to the instant
alkalinizing power of sodium bicarbonate for safe and effective treatment of
cancer.
Like magnesium chloride or sulfates are excellent emergency medicines,
basic chemicals, nutritional in nature, sodium bicarbonate is a nutritional
medicine meaning it cannot and will not end up controlled by CODEX. To
control bicarbonate they would have to demand mothers stop making cake
with it.
Sodium bicarbonate as an emergency medicine for cancer
Cancer seems to grow slowly in a highly acid environment (because the
acids cause it to partially destroy itself) and may actually grow more quickly
as your body becomes more alkaline prior to reaching the healthy pH
slightly above 7.4 where the cancer becomes dormant. Therefore it is
important to get pH above 7.4 quickly. Once one has achieved a pH above
7.4, it is useful to monitor saliva pH regularly to ensure that the body
remains sufficiently alkaline.
Earlier and more frequent use of sodium bicarbonate was associated
with higher early resuscitability rates and with better long-term
neurological outcome. Sodium bicarbonate is beneficial during CPR.120
“The therapeutic treatment of bicarbonate salts
can be administered orally, through aerosol, intravenously and through
catheter for direct targeting of tumors.” All of Dr. Tullio Simoncini’s
treatments with sodium bicarbonate are directed as specifically as possible
to the organs involved, for example, vaginally as well as abdominally into
the peritoneal space for cervical cancer, through the hepatic artery for liver
cancer in order to get the solution as close to the affected area as possible.
Sodium bicarbonate administered orally, via aerosol or intravenously can
achieve positive results only in some tumours, while others – such as the
serious ones of the brain or the bones - remain unaffected by the treatment.
Dr. Simoncini, with the help of interventionist radiologists, was able to
reach those areas of the body that had previously been inaccessible. This
was achieved through positioning appropriate catheters either in cavities for
peritoneum and pleura, or in arteries to reach other organs.121
The most effective measure to treat RT-induced mucositis in patients
with head and neck cancer is frequent oral rinsing with a sodium
bicarbonate rinse, to reduce the amount of oral microbial flora.122
Case two: A nine-year-old child is hospitalized and diagnosed with Ewing’s
Sarcoma on the right humerus. Despite several chemotherapy cycles surgery on
removed the humeral bone. Growth of three tumor masses continued despite
continued efforts to stop progression. Sodium bicarbonate salts treatment were then
started administered by catheter into the right sub-clavian artery in order to
administer the salts (phleboclysis of 500 cc at five per cent) directly on the tumoral
masses. Of the 3 masses shown by the scographic scan of May 7, 2001, whose size
is respectively
a. 6,5 cm
b. 4,4 cm
c. 2,4 cm
After the sodium bicarbonate salts treatment only one tumor was left, with a
size of only 1.5 cm, which is most likely residual scarring, as shown by the
echography of September 10, 2001.
Sodium bicarbonate injection is also indicated in the treatment of
metabolic acidosis which may occur in severe renal disease, uncontrolled
diabetes, and 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 drug
intoxications, including barbiturates. Sodium carbonate has been found
effective in treating poisoning or overdose from many chemicals and
pharmaceutical drugs by negating the cardiotoxic and neurotoxic effects.
123
Sodium bicarbonate is useful in treating
neurological disorders in children.
“The extreme sensitivity of Candida towards sodium bicarbonate (i.e. in
the oral candidosis of breasted babies) needs to be noted. This is consistent
with the fact that Candida has an accentuated ability to reproduce in an acid
environment. Theoretically, therefore, if treatments that put the fungus in
direct contact with high bicarbonate concentrations could be found, we
should be able to see a regression of the tumoral masses. And this is what
happens in many types of tumour, such as colon, liver -- and especially
stomach and lung -- the former susceptible to regression just because of its
"external" anatomic position, the latter because of the high diffusibility of
sodium bicarbonate in the bronchial system and for its high responsiveness
to general reconstituent measures,” reports Simoncini.
Knowledge of sodium bicarbonate is important for parents because the
rate of childhood cancer is growing exponentially. But parents who resist
the radiation burning, cutting and the lethal chemicals are regularly hauled
before the courts only to have their children taken away from them.
Oncologists are increasingly resorting to the justice system to have children
made wards of the courts who then turn them over to medically
irresponsible practitioners. It is inexcusable separating a child from his
mother and father in the middle of a medical crisis. Adding to the stress by
tormenting patients’ hearts and souls has nothing to do with safe or effective
medicine. The naked truth is doctors and medical institutions have not
earned the necessary trust for this level of intervention in people’s lives.
With patient safety slipping year by year,124 children are not safe in
hospitals, much less so if forced at gunpoint from their parents embrace.
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
One mother wrote, “It worked so well for both of my children that the
die-off was an uneventful experience, even though they both had very high
levels of yeast.” The restoring of acid/alkaline balance also relieves many
allergies. “These children also had grave disturbances in electrolyte
chemistry, and tended to be acidotic (low CO). The data that unfolded was
fascinating and clearly earmarked the acidosis and hypoxic state (low serum
bicarbonate = low O2 levels). Potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate,
magnesium carbonate and the like were used. Now we began to understand
why so many children responded to Buffered C (potassium bicarbonate,
calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate), and others needed a more
specific buffer (in some children for example niacin was grossly depleted
and they required niacin bicarbonate),” wrote Patricia Kane.
The acid/alkaline balance is one of the most overlooked aspects
of health, though many have written much about it. In general,
the American public is heavily acid, excepting vegetarians.
Case three: A 62-year-old patient undergoes surgery in December 1998 for
endometrial adenocarcinoma, followed by successive cycles of radiotherapy and
anti-hormone therapy. Following the thickening of the peritoneum and the growth
of several lymph nodes due to carcinosis; from the clinical point of view, the
patient’s condition decayed with the presence of exhaustion, general swelling,
intestinal meteorism, irregularity of evacuation, steady feeling of heaviness and
blood pressure instability. Treatment with a 5% sodium bicarbonate solution
administered alternately thru an endoperitoneal catheter and via IV showed rapid
improvement to a normal condition of health. A final CAT scan confirms the
regression of the peritoneal carcinosis and a stabilization of the size of the lymph
nodes when compared to the preceding year.
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.
The oral administration of sodium bicarbonate diminishes the
severity of the changes produced by uranium in the kidneys.125
Case four: A 40-year-old patient underwent surgical intervention (left
radical mastectomy) for mammarian carcinoma seven months earlier. After
three months of chemotherapy, the patient is affected by: “diffused
pulmonary and hepatic metastasis; bone metastasis particularly to the fifth
and sixth lumbar vertebrae, with invasion and compression of the medullar
channel, which is causing extreme pain which makes the patient
unresponsive to any treatment.” All pain suppressant drugs – morphine
included – are totally ineffective and the patient is totally prostrate even
unable to sleep. Believing that fungal colonies amassed in the medullar
channel will respond to administration of sodium bicarbonate salts, lumbar
injections are begun.
Dr Tullio Simoncini recounts: “As I administer it by slowly injecting 50
cc of sodium bicarbonate solution at 8.4 %, the patient tosses and with a
thread of a voice confesses to me that she has slept only two hours in the
last week. Exhausted, she whispers to me: “If only I could sleep half an hour
tonight.” But the day after, she calls me on the phone and says: “I have slept
all night”. After two more lumbar injections of the bicarbonate salts in the
next month, the pain disappeared completely. Magnetic Resonance imaging
reports performed before and after treatment were defined by hospital head
of the radiology department as "shocking."
Sodium bicarbonate is the chemical compound with the formula
NaHCO3. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is commonly used as an
antacid for short-term relief of stomach upset, to correct acidosis in kidney
disorders, to make the urine alkaline during bladder infections and to
minimize uric acid crystallization during gout treatment. Prescription
sodium bicarbonate products are given by injection to treat metabolic
acidosis and some drug intoxications. Sodium bicarbonate is available as a
nonprescription medical as well as a general house hold item. It is also used
with other non-prescription drugs for short-term treatment of various
conditions to treat anything from fever to moderate pain.
Sodium bicarbonate possesses the property of absorbing heavy
metals, dioxins and furans. Comparison of cancer tissue with
healthy tissue from the same person shows that the cancer tissue
has a much higher concentration of toxic chemicals, pesticides, etc.
Sodium bicarbonate neutralizes acids present in gases (in particular
hydrochloric acid, suphur dioxide, hydrofluoric acid) to form sodium salts
(sodium chloride, sodium sulphate, sodium fluoride, sodium carbonate),
which are all known as Residual Sodium Chemicals. Sodium bicarbonate
can be made into a paste salve with vinegar, it relieves burning from bug
stings (particularly bee stings), poison ivy, nettles, and sunburn. It is used as
an antacid to treat acid indigestion and heartburn. Mixed with water in a
10% solution can soften earwax for removal.
Substituting a sodium bicarbonate solution for saline
infusion prior to administration of radiocontrast
material seems to reduce the incidence of nephropathy.126
Dr. Thomas P. Kennedy
American Medical Association
Because sodium bicarbonate has long been known and is widely used, it
has many other names including sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium
bicarb, baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda, bicarb soda, saleratus or
bicarbonate of soda. It is soluble in water. This white solid is crystalline but
often appears as a fine powder. It has a slight alkaline taste resembling that
of sodium carbonate. It is a component of the mineral natron and is found
dissolved in many mineral springs. It is also produced artificially. World
wide production is on the scale of 100,000 ton/year. Sodium bicarbonate is
primarily used in cooking (baking) where it reacts with other components to
release carbon dioxide, which helps dough "rise."
It is commonly used to increase the pH and total alkalinity of the water
for pools and spas. Sodium bicarbonate can be added as a simple solution
for restoring the pH balance of water that has a high level of chlorine. It is
sometimes used in septic tanks to control pH and bacteria.
Sodium bicarbonate-rich mineral water in conjunction with a
low-salt diet may have a beneficial effect on calcium homeostasis.127
Distilled water is not safe, it lacks bicarbonates and minerals and yes, it is
acid forming to the body. Yet it is an excellent aid in detoxification and
chelation for its purity pulls on toxicities in the body. Part of the reason why
our body is acid is that it lacks enough bicarbonate necessary to neutralize
the acid. Whenever the water lacks the proper bicarbonates to neutralize the
water in distilled water your body basically becomes a little more acid. But
we can easily treat distilled or reverse osmosis water by adding bicarbonate
and magnesium and perhaps even some sodium thiosulfate. (The art and
science of water treatment will be covered in the section The Waters of Life. The
conscious use of water favorably increases medical outcomes; often it even
determines the prognosis. You cannot separate out hydration from pH. Dehydration
would certainly push the body toward acidity.)
pH of the blood is the most important factor to
determine the state of the microorganisms in the blood.
The native chemical and physical properties of sodium bicarbonate
account for its wide range of applications, including cleaning, deodorizing,
buffering, and fire extinguishing. Sodium bicarbonate neutralizes odors
chemically, rather than masking or absorbing them. Consequently, it is used
in bath salts and deodorant body powders. Sodium bicarbonate tends to
maintain a pH of 8.1 (7 is neutral) even when acids, which lower pH, or
bases, which raise pH, are added to the solution. Its ability to tabletize
makes it a good effervescent ingredient in antacids and denture cleaning
products. Sodium bicarbonate is also found in some anti-plaque mouthwash
products and toothpaste.
Sodium bicarbonate also is indicated in severe diarrhea which is often
accompanied by a significant loss of bicarbonate. Vigorous bicarbonate
therapy is required in any form of metabolic acidosis where a rapid increase
in plasma total CO2 content is crucial † e.g. cardiac arrest, circulatory
insufficiency due to shock or severe dehydration , and in severe primary
lactic acidosis or severe diabetic acidosis.
Sodium Bicarbonate Injection, USP is administered by the intravenous
route. In cardiac arrest, a rapid intravenous dose of one to two 50 mL vials
(44.6 to 100 mEq) may be given initially and continued at a rate of 50 mL
(44.6 to 50 mEq) every 5 to 10 minutes if necessary (as indicated by arterial
pH and blood gas monitoring) to reverse the acidosis. Caution should be
observed in emergencies where very rapid infusion of large quantities of
bicarbonate is indicated. Bicarbonate solutions are hypertonic and may
produce an undesirable rise in plasma sodium concentration in the process.
of correcting the metabolic acidosis. In cardiac arrest, however, the risks
from acidosis exceed those of hypernatremia.
In the current system, if a promising compound can’t be patented, it is
highly unlikely ever to make it to market — no matter how well it performs
in the laboratory or in emergency room situations. The hormone
melatonin,128 sold as an inexpensive food supplement in the United States,
has repeatedly been shown to slow the growth of various cancers when used
in conjunction with conventional treatments. Dr. Paolo Lissoni, another
Italian oncologist has written many articles about this hormone and
conducted clinical trials. But he has despaired over the pharmaceutical
industry’s total lack of interest in his treatment approach.
We need a new approach to fight cancer, one that will work safely and
effectively since the majority of us are now destined to have to suffer
through cancer at one point or another in our lives. The situation in the field
of oncology is horrendous and in the area of childhood oncology they have
earned their place in the book The Terror of Pediatric Medicine, (which
one can download as a free e-book.)
Most people today cringe at the idea of finding a cancer then slashing,
burning and poisoning it to smithereens. Most would agree that the
mainstream cancer approach offers only marginal benefits at best, and
providers push screening and aggressive treatment in part because they have
nothing else to give, and also because it’s very profitable. “Chemotherapy
and radiotherapy produce almost exclusively negative effects, both for their
specific ineffectiveness, and for their high toxicity and harmfulness to the
tissues, which in the last analysis favours mycotic aggressiveness. By
contrast, an anti-fungal, anti-tumour specific therapy would keep into
account the importance of the connective tissue, together with the
reproductive complexity of fungi. Only by attacking the fungi across the
spectrum of all its forms, at points where it is most vulnerable from the
nutritional point of view, would it be possible to hope to eradicate them
from the human organism. The first step to take, therefore, would be to
reinforce the cancer patient with generic reconstituent measures (nutrition,
tonics, regulation of rhythms and vital functions), that are able to enhance,
by themselves, the general defences of the organism,” says Dr. Simoncini.
If the body’s cellular metabolism and pH is
balanced it is susceptible to little illness or disease.
Since 1971, when President Nixon declared war on cancer, the budget of
the National Cancer Institute has increased to $4.8 billion from half a billion
and cancer rates are still going up. For most of the past half-century,
medical treatment of invasive tumors like those of the breast and colon has
relied mainly on drugs, radiation or both, in effect carpet-bombing the DNA
of cancer cells. These highly toxic and obscenely expensive treatments do
not address the root causes of cancer and are extremely dangerous, medical
approaches involving the highest risks.
Today we have a new kind of chemotherapy that combines radiation
with chemicals. Zevalin and Bexxar are the first in a new class of drugs
called radioimmunotherapies. Essentially, they deliver radioactive particles
directly to cancerous cells to kill them. Idec, now part of Biogen Idec,
invented Zevalin. Corixa, a Seattle company bought by GlaxoSmithKline,
developed Bexxar. Both drugs are very expensive, costing about $25,000
per treatment. But one dose is usually enough, sometimes to cure and
sometimes as expected, increasingly levels of radiation kill the patient. The
drugs have not been clinically proven to prolong survival, compared with
other therapies but they are used anyway.
The great variety of cancers must reflect a fundamental
mechanism by which the disease arises, one
that has not been so clearly apparent until now.
Though allopathic medicine already uses sodium bicarbonate it will not
any day soon turn to its own arsenal of already available safe and
inexpensive medications like sodium bicarbonate or magnesium chloride.
The medical industrial complex seems unwilling to change its views on
cancer so patients will need to quietly ask their doctors for intravenous
bicarbonate without specifying it as a substance they want to use to cure
their cancer. It will be easier to find someone if one approaches with a need
to treat acidic conditions than the actual cancer. Few doctors are willing to
risk their licenses so it is better not to put them in an uncomfortable
situation that they cannot control.
The closer the pH is to 7.35 - 7.45, the higher our level of
health and well being and our ability to resist states of disease.
Sadly this does not address the need for the use of catheters which target
tumors more directly thus pushing us toward a more complete protocol that
will target cancer in a more general and comprehensive way. This needs to
be done anyway because killing the tumor with a rush of alkalinity that
provokes an oxygen rush into the cells will not prevent the condition from
reoccurring. Though we can think that acidity is a basic cause of cancer a
more basic cause is addressed when we look at what leads to the acidic
conditions that are so prevalent in our bodies today.
Sodium bicarbonate is an anti-fungin substance
that is very diffusible and thus very effective.
Dr Tullio Simoncini says, “It is useful to consider the extreme sensitivity
of fungi to saline and electrolytic solutions. These solutions, because of their
extreme capacity for diffusion, are able to reach all the myceliar biological
expressions, including the most infinitesimal ones. Salts and bicarbonates,
by making the “terrain” completely inorganic, eliminates the slightest
organic fonts that fungi could use for nourishment. In this context,
sodium bicarbonate, which is currently used in children’s oral candidoses,
appears to be a simple and handy weapon capable of uprooting, inhibiting,
or attenuating any neoplastic formation wherever it is possible to easily
apply it.”
Cancer is actually a four-letter word — ACID,
especially lactic acid as a waste product due to the
low oxygen level and waste products of yeast and fungus.
For centuries, medicated baths have been one of the first lines of
treatment for psoriasis. Even today, with sophisticated immunosuppressive
treatments available, Dead Sea salts and spa waters are recognized to be
beneficial in the management of psoriatic patients.
To assess statistically the efficacy of sodium bicarbonate baths in
psoriasis patients, thirty-one patients with mild-moderate psoriasis were
studied. Almost all patients who used NaHCO3− reported a statistically
valuable improvement. NaHCO3− baths reduced itchiness and irritation; in
general, the patients themselves recognized a beneficial impact on their
psoriasis, so much so that they have continued to bathe in NaHCO3− even
after the end of the study. 129
We recommend that everyone, no matter what their state of health or
disease is start immediately using natural magnesium chloride brines and
read our book on this subject. We also recommend that everyone start
supplementing with iodine, another mineral essential for human health.
Sodium bicarbonate also should be introduced and can be used in many
ways including its use for brushing the teeth. Magnesium chloride can also
be used as a mouthwash and is highly effective against gingivitis, a
syndrome that is highly suggestive of general physiological deterioration.
According to Walter Last130, “Baking soda (not baking powder) or
sodium bicarbonate together with carbonic acid (dissolved carbon dioxide)
is the main buffer system that maintains the blood at a constant pH of about
7.4. When there is not enough sodium bicarbonate in the blood, it becomes
too acid and histamine is liberated - the body becomes oversensitive to pain
as well as to allergenic influences, such as insect stings. In addition, mucus
production increases, providing a breeding ground for germs.”
“Baking soda, possibly in combination with potassium bicarbonate, is
valuable in order to neutralize the duodenal content after meals. If the
intestinal content is too acid, the pancreas enzymes cannot work efficiently.
Baking soda is the natural alkalizing agent released by the pancreas and gall
bladder to neutralize the acid stomach content. If used as a general digestive
supplement, it is preferable to wait about two hours in order to allow
sufficient time for the gastric phase of digestion. With a light meal this
interval may be somewhat shorter and after a heavy meal or with flesh foods
one may wait even longer for at least 3 hour.”
“If one wants to alkalize the body quickly because of a cold or pain, then
it is advisable to take half a teaspoon of baking soda with water before
breakfast for several mornings and possibly also at bedtime. Drink another
glass of water or herb tea afterwards to flush it quickly through the stomach.
On a low sodium diet use potassium bicarbonate or Milk of Magnesia
instead. Commercially a mixture of 2 parts of baking soda and I part of
potassium bicarbonate is available and may generally be used for alkalizing
the body during an allergic reaction or after a meal if the pH remains below
6.5, take half a teaspoon of the alkaliser in water or herb tea. If the pH
remains between 6.5 and 6.8 after the meal, a quarter teaspoon is sufficient.”
“Sodium bicarbonate therapy is harmless, fast and effective because it is
extremely diffusible. A therapy with bicarbonate for cancer should be set up
with strong dosage, continuously, and with pauseless cycles in a destruction
work which should proceed from the beginning to the end without
interruption for at least 7-8 days. In general a mass of 2-3-4 centimetres will
begin to consistently regress from the third to the fourth day, and collapses
from the fourth to the fifth. Generally speaking, the maximum limit of the
dosage that can be administered in a session gravitates around 500 cc of
sodium bicarbonate at five per cent solution, with the possibility of
increasing or decreasing the dosage by 20 per cent in function of the body
mass of the individual to be treated and in the presence of multiple
localisations upon which to apportion a greater quantity of salts,” instructs
Dr. Simoncini.
In the early stages of acidic pH in the body’s tissues, the warning
symptoms are mild. These include such things as skin eruptions, headaches,
allergies, colds, flu and sinus problems. These symptoms are frequently
treated (manipulated) with antibiotic drugs and suppressive medications.
The longer and the deeper we become acidic the more our illness takes hold
so it’s best to fight acidic conditions early on and in every presenting
clinical situation. Certainly a highly toxic drug like anti viral Tamiflu won’t
do a fraction of the job sodium bicarbonate will do especially if it’s
combined with magnesium chloride and iodine as well as high levels of
vitamin C.
In late stages of acidic pH we need to turn to the most alkaline minerals
to increase our throw weight of alkalinity into cancer cells. Mass
spectrographic and isotope studies have shown that potassium, rubidium,
and especially cesium are most efficiently taken up by cancer cells. This
uptake was enhanced by Vitamins A and C as well as salts of zinc and
selenium. The quantity of cesium taken up was sufficient to raise the cell to
the 8 pH range. 131
On April 2, 2007 Health Day News published, “Patient safety incidents
in U.S. hospitals increased by three percent overall from 2003 to 2005, and
the error gap between the nation's best- and worst-performing hospitals
remained wide, a report released Monday found. America's top rated centers
had 40 percent lower rates of medical errors than the poorest-performing
hospitals, the study showed.”
There seems little grace left in medicine and it is a disgrace that
allopathic medicine does not even use its own emergency medicines, proven
heavies like magnesium sulfate and chloride, sodium bicarbonate and iodine
to anywhere near a thousandth of a percent of their real medical potentials.
Combining pH shift with Heat
In the opening paragraph of this chapter we mentioned killing cancer
cells with lasers, with heat.
Give me a chance to create fever
and I will cure any disease.
Parmenides
2,000 years ago
Fever is one of the body's own defensive and healing forces, created and
sustained for the deliberate purpose of restoring health. The high
temperature speeds up metabolism, inhibits the growth of the invading virus
or bacteria, and literally burns the enemy with heat. Fever is an effective
protective and healing measure not only against colds and simple infections,
but against such serious diseases as polio and cancer.
The idea of destroying cancer with heat is certainly not new and has been
widely accepted for a very long time, but has had very limited applications
because it was finally concluded that, in order to ensure destruction of the
cancerous growth, it is necessary to reach a temperature deadly to healthy
cells as well. Many attempts have been made to bypass this problem and
some methodologies have been developed like: localized hyperthermia,
laserthermia, radio-fractionated hyperthermia and TTT. But they all have
limitations and cannot complete the job, because they cannot achieve total
necrosis and, unless the entire mass of neoplastic tissue is destroyed, the
cancer will continue to grow. But:
Hyperthermia gives cancer a hard time:
1. removing accumulations of stored toxic chemicals that cause
cancer
2. improving circulation so that tissues are both nourished with
oxygen and flushed of acidic metabolic wastes
3. weakening or even killing cancer cells that have a lower tolerance
for heat than healthy cells.
Thus we should easily conclude that far-infrared sauna treatments are
going to help a cancer sufferer no matter which way we slice the treatment
protocol. But for a more targeted heat to kill cancer tumors we have Dr
Antonella Carpenter who has perfected the treatment of cancer cells with
heat through her use of lasers. She generates the death of the cells by
suffocation via heat. Dr Carpenter, a physicist with a clinic in Little Rock,
says, “As long as the entire neoplastic mass is exposed to the laser light, for
the correct amount of time, the success is complete and the results, as well
as the healing stages, are always the same.” Her cancer treatment is called
Light Induced Enhanced Selective Hyperthermia, which in itself pretty
much summarizes all the characteristics of this new therapy. With this form
of treatment cancer cells reach a deadly temperature level quickly and are
subject to irreversible damage and therefore die, either immediately or
within 48 hours.
In a separate chapter we will be talking about hyperthermia in another
context, that of the hot bathtub which we will learn to fill with healing
substances like sodium bicarbonate. We will be creating our own hot
springs, healing pools that will do wonders for our health. Medical
treatments of the first order can be had right inside your very own bathtub.
Combining pH treatment with Oxygen (Ozone)
Ozone treatments introduce oxygen to the patient's haemoglobin, (red
blood cells), which transport intensified levels of oxygen throughout the
bloodstream. When this oxygen enriched blood arrives in infected areas it
will, like the bicarbonate, change the pH and oxygen levels and even
restructure cell protein structures, thereby eradicating any diseased cells. It’s
another therapy that is lethal - killing bacterial, fungal, protozoal, parasitic
and/or other micro-organisms in the bloodstream. As a molecule containing
a large excess of energy, ozone, through not completely understood
mechanisms, manifests bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal actions.
Ozone is a powerful oxidant, surpassed
in this regard only by fluorine.
Peroxides created by ozone administration show long-term antiviral
effects which serve to further reduce viral load. This factor may explain in
part the reason for the fact that ozonated blood in the amount processed in
usual treatment protocols is able to reduce viral load values in the total
blood volume.
Biogenic Medicine
Biogenic Medicine, on a diagnostic level, combines many points of
perceptual consciousness into a holistic framework that amplifies
medicine’s ability to pinpoint the specific challenges, problems and states of
disease in each individual. It must be remembered when dealing with
medicine and healing that correct and effective treatment arises from correct
and effective diagnosis. If we do not diagnose with 360 degrees of vision we
will find that treatments will also be shortsighted, always falling short of our
expectations. To arrive at the ultimate level of diagnosis we need to
understand and use all levels of human consciousness, including intuition.
This was heavily relied on by physicians in ancient times and today, it is
used by those who practice in situations where high level technology is not
available. Judith Orloff MD, a psychiatrist, talks about using intuition but
most physicians feel compelled to use expensive tests instead.
Biogenics routinely correlates a person's physical problem with emotional
disturbances and conflicts that are happening on a deeper level. In biogenic
medicine we look for the meaning and purpose of disease, knowing full well
that illness is not just mechanical, biological or chemical in nature. We are
not just machines that are breaking down from misuse or foreign invasion in
the form of pathogens or poisoning through food, water and medical
supplies. Diseases are not pointless mistakes of nature that should be fought,
resisted, cut out, or chemically bombed to smithereens with toxic drugs.
They are meaningful events that serve to restore equilibrium and so the
medical process is greatly accentuated when the meaning of the disease is
perceived and when full understanding of the disequilibrium is understood.
Disease is a special program that allows organisms to override everyday
functioning and to deal with particular emergency situations.
For each pain, there is a reason in the depths of consciousness.
Dr. Reinhold Voll
Thus Biogenics is the practice of spiritual and emotional medicine in
addition to dealing thoroughly with the problems of the body. The nature of
medicine when practiced this way demands that we penetrate and
understand what is going on inside the world of the patient and that takes
quite a bit of understanding of the self. A Biogenic Medical diagnosis is a
reading of a person’s consciousness and not just a reading and labeling of
disease states. It takes us past the diagnostic labels that are so commonly
applied in medicine and take us onto the level of cause, which commonly
has something to do with the way we use or misuse consciousness.
Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, a German internist and creator of what is called
The New Medicine in Europe, discovered that physical events combined
with internal emotional reactions create what he called a ‘biological conflict
shock’ that will manifest itself as a visible physical transformation in the
brain as well as measurable changes in physical-nervous parameters. From
these central changes he saw the development of cancerous growths,
ulcerations, necroses and functional disturbances in specific organs of the
body. Dr. Hamer insisted that a biological conflict-shock causes the
appearance of a focus of activity in the brain, a set of concentric rings that
can be seen in a computerized tomography scan (CT) that is centered on a
precise point of the brain. Siemens, the manufacturers of the CT equipment,
has independently verified the existence of these concentric rings, which in
New Medicine are called 'Hamer Herds' in the brain.
Conflict resolution brings on tissue
repair and restoration of functional loss.
Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer
Dr. Hamer coined the word conflictolysis to indicate that these points of
disturbance in the brain actually were mirroring the centers of unresolved
conflict and thus ignoring it would be disastrous especially in patients with
cancer. He insisted that every sickness has its very definite conflictolysis
and so each case had its own unique path toward conflict resolution. Thus
Dr. Hamer felt that it was worth the physician’s efforts to find the shocking
event that precipitated the onset of early symptoms that inevitably lead to
the full onset of diseases such as cancer, which will be different for each
person.
The main task in every case of cancer is to find the original emotional shock
experience and make sure that it has been healed or is being healed.
Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer
General medical practitioners have to engage patients in a deeply probing
and caring way through a process that goes back to the specific traumatic
occurrence to understand why someone has become afflicted with what
eventually becomes a full blown biological conflict. We have to see and
understand the reason why some distressing event was so traumatic; why
there was nobody to discuss it with, why it was not worked through in a way
that would help the person retain general equilibrium and health. According
to Hamer a “good doctor has to be able to transpose himself into the soul of
an infant, an old man, a young girl. He must transpose himself into the
actual time of the significant biological shock. Only then will he be able to
discover the biological conflict and distinguish it from hundreds of other
problems.”
As soon as such a disturbance appears, the organ controlled by that specific
brain centre registers a functional transformation. This transformation
can manifest as a growth, as tissue loss or as a loss of function.
Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer
Physical disease is often a mirror of our Achilles heel. It reflects back to
us something connected to a tragic flaw, as Shakespeare would have put it.
It is always the one thing that we do not want to look at that brings us to
ruin in life. Yet there are certain life events like the sudden loss of a loved
one, rape, or intense experiences in combat that bring on a trauma that is
beyond the ability of even well-adjusted people to deal with. In his book
Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goldman reported a similar process to what
Dr. Hamer outlines namely post-traumatic stress disorders. (PTSD)
Neuroscientists have now studied and understood a kind of emotional
wounding that leaves this same imprint in the brain that Hamer talked about.
Biogenic medicine helps clients get in touch with and clear core issues
that are at the root of non-responsive pain and disease conditions. In almost
all cases of serious illness, a core issue is hiding or there is an unresolved
conflict. These issues, or what might be seen as unrecognized truths that are
waiting to be discovered, maintain vortexes of energy that hold pain and
dysfunction in place. This could involve almost anything from rejection of
one’s own vulnerabilities, to tragedies of loss, to beliefs in unworthiness,
shame, or even discomfort at being on planet Earth.
Daniel Goleman also said, "We can be so emotionally fragile while we
are ailing because our mental well-being is based in part on the illusion of
invulnerability. Sickness, especially a severe illness, bursts that illusion,
attacking the premise that our private world is safe and secure. Suddenly we
feel weak, helpless, and vulnerable."
In HeartHealth, the heart is defined as the vulnerability of being, and
through a careful study of life we can see that this is the principle quality of
existence that most people avoid like the plague. Christ himself said that we
must be born again and what he was referring to was a return to
vulnerability, a return to the pure feeling that is so natural to infants and
young children. So in essence a great part of the matrix of serious disease is
involved with a forced return to vulnerability since we will not make the
journey on our own.
Biogenic Medicine and HeartHealth focus intensely on these core issues
while working with other important aspects of healing like micro-nutrition,
diet, acupuncture, electrical medicine, Reiki, herbs, spinal adjustments,
intestinal, kidney, liver and gallbladder cleanses, and anything else that will
facilitate a return to balance and well being.
Though western medicine fully doubts the role of emotion and feeling in
health and disease, we have to probe every case to find the original and any
other conflicts when it comes to dealing with serious diseases like cancer. In
this process we need to think back, especially one to two years before our
problem started and analyze our emotional history during this time as well
as before and after. Meditation and hypnotrance therapy may be useful to
discover conflict shocks and the emotional causes of serious disease.
While Biogenic Medicine concentrates on inner conflicts and the
emotional life of patients it does not ignore environmental factors that have
to be taken into serious consideration. Most people have very unhealthy
lifestyles and have been attacked with toxic vaccines, food preservatives and
additives, foods like dairy products, which are heavily laced with hormones,
and even things like high tension wires and cell phones create health
problems. And there are quite a few prescription medicines, chemo and
radiation therapy that are very capable of killing a person after they destroy
completely the capacity of the immune system.
There is no escaping the interconnectedness between all things in the
diagnostic process, since emotions, nutrients, organ toxicity, decisions,
habits, childhood experiences and even climate has an effect on health and
disease. The purity of water supplies and the severity of air pollution are
strong factors in health and disease as are things like mercury fillings.
Traditional Chinese medical diagnosis was always about building pictures
of disharmony that included the process of putting all the details into a
single picture that could speak a thousand words. Images of disharmony are
powerful mirrors of disease states but in Biogenic Medicine we have to do
more than 'imagine' the issues and the contributing conditions to that state of
wrongness. We have to get into direct relationship with the patient and their
history through direct perception and communication.
Inflammation and Systemic Stress
Atherosclerosis is caused by chronic inflammation, which often begins
very early in life. The big dispute among experts is what causes the
inflammation in the first place. One theory holds that bacteria and viruses
may cause this inflammation but clearly we know that lead, mercury,
monosodium glutamate (MSG) and fluoride and other toxic chemicals can
also cause inflammatory reactions in blood vessels.
A study performed by the VA Administration, for instance, (published
in JADA, April 1998) on 10,000 US veterans, showed that most coronary
heart disease really started as an endothelial infection and in most cases was
caused by microorganisms. Recognizing the role of inflammation in
arteriosclerosis represents a huge paradigm shift for cardiologists. The
American College of Cardiology, the American College of Physician's and
the American Heart Association largely ignores the involvement of
inflammation in heart attacks and strokes and certainly they ignore
unresolved psycho-emotional trauma, as well as the toxic build up of
mercury which can lead to massive heart failure and sudden death even in
the healthiest athlete.
According to Dr. Garry Gordon and Dr. Boyd Haley, “Congestive heart
failure patients have recently been reported to have 22,000 times more
mercury132 in their hearts.” Athletes dying suddenly with idiopathic dilated
cardiomyopathy have showed unusually high levels of mercury in the
muscle of their hearts; the source seems to be vaporous mercury leaking
from amalgam dental fillings. In their rush to operate on patients,
cardiologists do not pay much attention to underlying causes of heart
disease, and would never begin to think of detoxifying their patients of
mercury and other heavy metals.
If we could ever understand the very basics of disease we could work
efficiently toward furthering health. Public health officials, medical
organizations and doctors moan and groan about epidemics of chronic
diseases like diabetes, cancer, heart disease, autism and other neurological
diseases, voicing their frustrations and their helplessness to do anything
about it.
Inflammation and systemic stress are central attributes of many
pathological conditions. Thus if we find a way to directly and safely reduce
inflammation and systemic stress we have found a potent medical approach
that would be effective across a wide range of pathologies.
Inflammation is the missing link to explain the role
of magnesium in many pathological conditions.
Dr. A. Mazur et al133 have shown in experimentally induced magnesium
deficiency in rats that after only a few days a clinical inflammatory
syndrome develops and is characterized by leukocyte (white blood cell) and
macrophage activation, release of inflammatory cytokines and excessive
production of free radicals. “Magnesium deficiency induces a systemic
stress response by activation of neuro endocrinological pathways,” writes
Dr. Mazur. “Magnesium deficiency contributes to an exaggerated response
to immune stress and oxidative stress is the consequence of the
inflammatory response,” he continued.
Macrophages are a type of immune cell, found in the body's tissues and
organs which rid the body of worn-out cells and other debris, secrete
powerful antigen-destroying chemicals, and play an important role in
activating T cells. Cytokines are soluble molecules produced by cells that
serve as mediators of intracellular reactions and biological response
modifiers. Increases in extracellular magnesium concentration cause a
decrease in the inflammatory response while reduction in the extracellular
magnesium results in cell activation. Inflammation causes endothelial
dysfunction and activated endothelium facilitates adhesion and migration of
cancer cells.134
People with more magnesium and less copper in their
blood could reduce their risk of death from cancer
by as much as 50 per cent, says a new study from France.135
High serum levels of magnesium were also linked to a 40 per cent lower risk
of all-cause mortality, and a reduction of similar magnitude for cardiovascular
deaths. The research is important because dietary surveys show that a large
portion of adults do not meet the RDA for magnesium found naturally in
green, leafy vegetables, meats, starches, grains and nuts, and milk.
"It's the first epidemiological study which shows synergistic effects on
mortality of low serum zinc and high serum copper, as well as the effects of
low serum zinc and low serum magnesium and these interactions may be
physiopathologically plausible as these minerals are involved in the immune
system, the inflammatory response and the oxidative damage," lead author
Dr Nathalie Leone from the Pasteur Institute in Lille France.
After 18 years of follow-up 339 subjects had died, with 176 due to cancer
and a further 56 from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Serum analysis of
magnesium, copper and zinc levels showed that highest serum level of
magnesium (0.85 millimoles per litre or more) compared to the lowest level
(0.76 millimoles per litre or more) was associated with a reduction in the
risk of all-cause mortality, death from cancer, and CVD of 40, 50 and 40 per
cent, respectively.
In the final analysis there is no single medicine or nutritional agent that
has the power to both treat and prevent disease like magnesium. The proof
is rock-solid and new studies are coming out every week to sustain this
medical position. It behooves us all to bring up our magnesium to optimal
levels and keep them there and to pay attention to the same in our children.
Magnesium acts as a general cell tonic while it reduces inflammation and
systemic stress. Equally it is important in overall energy (ATP) production,
hormonal and enzyme production and function, and just about everything
else in biological life.
Complexity of Causes
One of the great challenges in medicine today is to understand the
complexity of causes that leads to the breakdown of health and the
formation of serious disease. A multitude of factors simultaneously impinge
on our physical systems making it a truly daunting task to ascertain which
trigger is causing which symptom. During this past century, the physical
environment that surrounds us has become obscenely toxic and even the
food most people consume acts to destroy rather than nourish. There are
people and organizations hiding behind this complexity of causes thereby
making it impossible to prove what is harming our children and us, what is
causing autism, why certain kids die following vaccinations and others do
not.
There is a great secret to life, health and disease, one that is little known,
understood or talked about except in relatively vague ways; and this secret
explains largely why one person gets sick and another does not under the
influence of the same causes. Our bodies have a core, a central point, just
like the solar system does. Without the sun at the heart of our system, the
planets would just fly off and away because without a coherent centre there
is no harmony, and even existence comes into doubt.
The sun obviously leads to life through a combination of forces and
factors. Gravity, light, warmth, radiation on non-visible spectrums,
magnetism; its place in the centre anchors the entire system. In each human,
such a centre exists and it provides cohesion to all the cells in the same way
that the sun unifies the entire solar system. The word sun does not do justice
to the immense importance that exists in such an object, and the word in all
languages that expresses this centre in humans suffers from a similar
limitation. Known in ancient medicine as the supreme controller of body
functions and known equally well in bibles, religions and spiritual traditions
is the human heart, this is at the centre of our lives. And yet modern
medicine knows this not.
The heart is a vast electromagnetic generator
and the frequencies that are radiated out by the heart
change dramatically depending on what emotional state a person is in.
Most western-trained minds immediately think of the pump, that miracle
muscle and yes, that is partly what is meant when the word heart is used.
Much can be said about the physical heart and its central place and electrical
magnetic influence on the body. However, beyond the physical is something
even more important and crucial to health and happiness and a life lived
without disease. It is something we are born with, the home of our pure
being, which is centred in the universe of feelings as opposed to mind and
thoughts. Our being or heart nature is more primordial and basic to health
than the mind because it pre-exists the mind.
Deep within is our pure being that has incarnated into this body. This
being is ultra sensitive and has been picking up subtle impressions from the
environment through the heart centre of pure feeling even before we
emerged from our mother’s womb. The central issue of the heart is that our
beings are highly attuned to love and when it faces a lack of it (which it
usually does) the heart being suffers and begins to close itself off from that
suffering. The centre of the heart is maintained when a person is able to
accept and deal with any pain but the moment we begin to repress and deny
we begin to separate from that which is absolutely central to our health.
This being has its centre in the cardiac area of the body and the more
closed it is, the weaker and more vulnerable a person or child becomes to
illness and disease. Even without external causes, without being poisoned
by vaccines and pesticides, herbicides, chemical preservatives and fast
foods, without invasions from hordes of bacteria and viruses and polluted
drinking water, a human being without a live active being centre is already
ill. When there is a sickness of being we are sick because the nature of the
heart centre is love and it protects us and provides emotional and physical
well-being. Emotional and physical health is synonymous with heart health
and I wrote HeartHealth to help people understand the heart’s deep and
mysterious ways. People often ask if a lack of love, if heartbreak or
heartache can be detrimentimental to our health. Mother Theresa answered
this saying; "loneliness and isolation in the West" was the most significant
“disease” she had encountered during her lifetime.
The healthy human heart needs warmth,
is warmth and can give warmth to others.
The deeper we dive into the heart and open
to its super intelligent ways the more balanced, coherent,
and healthy our bodies, minds, and emotions become.
Western medicine misses the boat entirely on this issue and has no way of
addressing problems and disease on a being level. Mechanically oriented to
one dimensional physical view and definitions of human reality, it is blind
and helpless in helping people recover from their most basic disease.
Modern psychology is also handicapped in this regard because of its stress
on the mind instead of the feelings of the heart. Many have wondered why it
is that intimacy can protect and heal us from disease and why the reverse
also holds, where a lack of intimacy can bring on any number of health
problems. Intimacy, love, touch, and sexuality are all issues that have great
bearing on the heart nature of our being self. There is much more truth to
the fact that we are beings than simple mechanical machines that need
fixing and repair jobs like cars at the auto shop. The single greatest
requirement for health and proper function is love because at the center of
our beings is a heart that just wants to love and be loved.
Just because modern medicine does not understand such things does not
make them less important to medical science and practice. It is no mystery
and many studies have shown that when people feel loved or give love they:
1) Live longer, feel happier, have better health, do better financially.
2) Have better cardiovascular health, are less prone to depression, have
better balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous
systems.
3) Have reduced muscle tension; this alleviates pressures on the spinal
column with fewer tendencies to spinal maladjustments.
4) Reduced mental disease, and increased mental clarity and
objectivity.
Though most physicians are still sceptical that emotions matter clinically
in health related issues, we can see clearly how people who experience long
term depression and anxiety, long periods of sadness and pessimism,
incessant hostility and aggression have much higher incidences of major
diseases.
Beating Back Late Stage Infections
(Cancer & Fungus)
with Sodium Bicarbonate
Over 90, 000 people a year die from
secondary infections in hospitals.
Children with cancer often require pediatric intensive care; and
thanks to such care, many of them have been able to overcome the most
acute phase of Leukemia. Intensive care resources are used even in the
incurable cases, in order to relieve immediate symptoms and improve the
quality of life. Dr. Roberto Sapolnik indicates that the interaction between
the intensive care team and oncologists allows for the solution of extremely
life-threatening situations for children with Leukemia. Intensive care in
children with cancer is crucial for the improvement of survival rates of these
children, with an increasing number of reports on the cure of neoplastic
diseases. It seems like something is being done to these children in the
intensive care wards that is not being explained or understood. Perhaps the
intensive care staff are unwittingly killing off the yeast, fungi and molds
(cancer) that are choking off the life force of these unfortunate children. If
Leukemia turns out to be a fungal infection of white blood cells called
leukocytes then all will be explained.
I remain stunned at the hesitancy of American physicians to try
harmless antifungal approaches for anything but vaginal yeast.
Dr. Doug Kaufmann
Cancer is a biologically-induced
spore (fungus) transformation disease.
Dr. Milton W. White
“Even patients who had been committed to mental hospitals have been
helped by anti-fungal therapy. Other puzzling immunologic diseases,
including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus,
have responded better when attention was given to reduction of yeast and
immune stress. A wide spectrum of allergic disorders, from classical hay
fever to chronic, delayed-onset type of food allergy and petrochemical
sensitivity, have improved following anti-yeast therapy,” says Dr. Elmer M.
Cranton.
When fungal colonization and mycotoxin
contamination is maximal one finds cancer
growing and mestastizing at a maximal rate.
Doctors in general are not very good at diagnosing fungal infections
because their medical school training is based so heavily on the role of
bacteria and viruses in the area of infectious diseases. Fungi have been a
forgotten foe ever since the advent of antibiotics and this is perhaps one of
the biggest mistakes of allopathic medicine for the overuse and or even
occasional use of antibiotics lead directly to deadly fungus infections.
Laboratories display the same difficulty in diagnosing fungal infections:
current tests for detecting the presence of fungi are both terribly scant and
sorely antiquated. This is a serious problem for fungi are late stage
infections that are provoking or accompanying a range of life
threatening diseases.
A strong immune system will defend you against
any disease including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
If the spine, for example, becomes infected with bacteria or fungi, inside
or on the surface of vertebrae, then the entire torso region (region between
neck and waist) may be extremely sore and stiff after being in bed for a
while, and may feel better after taking a hot shower and moving around, yet
may still be sore during the day, especially during a deep breath.
All of the medications proven to be effective in
the treatment of the mycotoxin-induced diseases
possess anti-fungal and/or anti-mycotoxic activity.
Dr. A.V. Costantini
The use of antimicrobial agents (e.g., antibiotics, antiseptics, antifungal)
plays an important part in current medical therapy. This is particularly true
in the fields of dermatology as well as skin and wound antisepsis. Effective
treatments for skin or mucous membranes, which are afflicted with
bacterial, fungal, or viral infections or lesions, frequently include the use of
topical antimicrobial agents. Most antiviral compounds are unsuitable for
topical treatment of these infections because they have limited ability to
penetrate the skin and in truth pharmaceuticals offer little that are effective
for viral infections once they have infected. In the case of AIDS the best the
allopathic empire could come up with is to kill the patient with the most
toxic drugs available.
Inflamation is the first sign and
symptom of infectious process.
Topical compositions containing known antiviral compounds usually fail
to relieve the symptoms such as pain, inflammation and/or itchiness often
associated with dermal viral infections or skin lesions. Further, they fail to
prevent the secondary infection of these lesions by bacteria or fungi,
leading to prolonged disease states. Thus, there is still a need for more
effective antimicrobial agents.
People with weak immune systems (i.e., immunecompromised or immune-suppressed individuals)
are more vulnerable to infections by molds.
Sodium bicarbonate, a common emergency room medicine, acts as a
powerful, natural and safe antifungal agent, which when combined with
iodine, covers the entire spectrum of microbial organisms. The efficacy of
sodium bicarbonate against certain bacteria and fungi has been documented
but its role as a disinfectant against viruses is not generally known. Sodium
bicarbonate at concentrations of 5% and above was found to be effective
with 99.99% reduction viral titers on food contact surfaces within a contact
time of 1 min.136
In 1999 Meinolf Karthaus, MD, watched three different children
with leukemia suddenly go into remission upon receiving a
triple antifungal drug cocktail for their "secondary" fungal infections.137
“Fungal infections not only can be extremely contagious, but they also
go hand in hand with leukemia138 -- every oncologist knows this. And these
infections are devastating: once a child who has become a bone marrow
transplant recipient gets a "secondary" fungal infection, his chances of
living, despite all the antifungals in the world, are only 20%, at best,” writes
Dr. David Holland. Dr. Holland is talking about pharmaceutical antifungal
agents, not about sodium bicarbonate, which until the arrival of Dr. Tullio
Simoncini, was not known or used for fungal infections.
Sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride, and calcium
chloride are used to maintain pH and electrolytes
within normal values in intensive care units.
Dr. Simoncini has made the great discovery that the bicarbonate treats
the cancer and fungus simultaneously resulting in a safe, fast, effective low
cost cure for cancer. Dr. Simoncini deserves the highest award in medical
science for his genius and medical courage in discovering and developing
what might come to be seen as the single greatest medical breakthrough of
the century. Literally billions of people are going to owe him a debt of
eternal gratitude. Simoncini makes the connection that fungal colonies and
cancer colonies are the same colonies called by two different names.
Interestingly in 1931, Dr. Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize in
science for his discovery that cancer cells rapidly proliferated in the
presence of fermented sugar. Now we can understand more fully the
connection between cancer and fungal colonies for ironically fungal cells
also proliferate rapidly under the same conditions. Fungi feed on sugar.
Cancer feeds on sugar.
The essential basic of this therapy is to bring the
Sodium Bicarbonate as close as possible to the tumor.
Dr. Tullio Simoncini
Dr. Simoncini states, “At the moment, against fungi there is no useful
remedy other than, in my opinion, sodium bicarbonate. The anti-fungins that
are currently on the market, in fact, do not have the ability to penetrate the
masses (except perhaps early administrations of azoli or of amfotercin B
delivered parenterally), since they are conceived to act only at a stratified
level of epithelial type. In order to achieve the most detrimental effect on
the tumors, the sodium bicarbonate must be put in direct contact with the
damaged tissue. It is also possible to put specific catheters (port-a-cath) in
the arteries that run to the different conventional endoscope methods.
Furthermore there can be used clysters, drip infusions, irrigations and
infiltrations at the places where the tumor has grown.”
Cancer is one of the most maligned and misunderstood
diseases of the past millennium. There is also reason
to believe it is one of the most misdiagnosed maladies.
Dr. Doug A. Kaufmann
Dr. MJ Dvmanov, a professor of medical mycology says, “A disease
caused by a fungal mold is called a mycosis. Often a fungal infection, a
mycosis, abcess or a fibroid immune response to the presence of fungal
mold is called a cancer. Two of my recent studies involved a 26 year old
female with a large mold growth in her left lung that required surgical
removal and a 65 year old male with a brain "cancer" that was later
diagnosed as being 2 different fungal mold growths. Mold produces many
toxins and exposure to some molds result in a cancer or unnatural cell
growth both hyperplasia and metaplasia. I have investigated cases where
initial diagnosis was cancer and later from biopsy and culture identified as a
mold growth. Far more deaths are caused by a fungal mold than anyone
would believe. Dr. Leyland H. Hartwell's Noble Prize in Medicine Lecture
in 2001 introduced the fact that in culture cancer cells just like fungal mold,
often described by histopathologists as undifferentiated carcinomas, are
immortal just like fungal mold in that they continue to grow even outside
the body, when normal human cells do not. If cancer cells are not human
cells, then what are they, fungal mold?”
A medical textbook used to educate Johns Hopkins medical
students in 1957, Clinical and Immunologic Aspects of Fungous
Diseases, declared that many fungal conditions look exactly like cancer!
Dr. Doug A. Kaufmann
The Germ That Causes Cancer
Dr. H. Takeuchi et al in Japan analyzed 20 cases of urinary fungal
infection. Candida albicans was the most prevalent of the fungi affecting the
urinary tract. Torulopsis glabrata and Candida tropicalis were also prevalent.
Antibiotics, indwelling catheter and obstructive uropathy were the most
prevalent predisposing factors of the fungal infection. Of 20 cases of fungal
infection, 5 cases were cured only by elimination of the predisposing
factors, and 15 cases were treated and resolved by administration of
sodium bicarbonate, 5-fluorocytosine and or irrigation with amphotericin
B. But one case of bilateral renal torulopsiosis developed into renal failure,
and 4 cases died of the primary disease.139
Sodium Bicarbonate has been successfully proven its antifungal
value in agriculture to resolve fungal issues in vegetation,
including many destructive diseases such as anthracnose, powdery
mildew, black spot in crops and horticultural industries. It has
been successfully used to protect crops from fungus during storage.
Dr. Simincini uses the lab procedures and protocols for using intravenous
sodium bicarbonate as approved by the FDA for cardiac infarctions to treat
most cancers. Being that the present day survival rate of 5 years in the US is
less than 2 ¾% due to protocols the medical profession uses, Dr.
Simoncini’s outstanding success in the 90% remission rate and some as
long as 20 years should shatter modern medicine’s fixed ideas about
cancer. “If the fungus are sensible to the sodium bicarbonate solutions and
the tumour is smaller than 3 cm, the percentage will be around the 90%, for
terminal cases in which the patients is in reasonable good conditions is 50%
and for terminals patients just a small percentage,” reports Simoncini,
whose treatments take approximately 30-45 days. Below is a note from Dt.
Simoncini on his discovery.
One of the first patients I treated was an 11-year-old child, a case which
immediately indicated that I was on the right track. The child arrived in a
coma at the paediatric haematology ward around 11:30 in the morning,
with a clinical history of leukaemia. Because of the child’s disease he had
been taken from a small town in Sicily to Rome, through the universities of
Palermo and Naples, where he underwent several chemotherapy sessions.
His desperate mother told me that she had been unable to speak with the
child for 15 days; that is, since the child had been on his journey through
the various hospitals. She said she would have given the world to hear her
son’s voice once again before he died. As I was of the opinion that the
child was comatose both because of the proliferation of fungal colonies in
the brain and because of the toxicity of the therapies that had been
performed on him, I concluded that if I could destroy the colonies with
sodium bicarbonate salts and at the same time nourish and detoxify the
brain with glucose administered intravenously, I could hope for a
regression of the symptoms.140
And so it was. After a continuous intravenous infusion of bicarbonate and
glucose solutions, at around 7pm, when I returned to the university, I found
the child speaking with his mother, who was in tears.
Dr. Tullio Simoncini
“With the exception of the cancers caused by cut/cured/ fermented
tobacco leaf, the cause of cancer is generally stated as being unknown. That
statement is made invalid by the published research data collected and
presented here which documents that fungi and their mycotoxins cause
virtually every type of human cancer in either animals or humans or in
both,” reports Dr. A.V. Costantini from the W.H.O.141
There is a food connection to cancer but only
to its connection with contaminating fungi
and the mycotoxins which those fungi produce.
Dr. A.V. Costantini
Antibiotics increase the risk of incident and fatal breast cancer or any
type of cancer.142 This finding is also explained by the fact that many, if not
most, of our antibiotics are derived from fungi—they are fungal byproducts,
or “myco”-toxins. Remember how we get penicillin from the Penicillium
mold? Or how we get alcohol from brewer’s yeast, or Saccharomyces
cerevisiae? That’s right, alcohol—linked to 50 different types of cancer
(Costantini, Fungalbionics Series. 1998-99)—is a mycotoxin. That same
book by Costantini tell us that 2 or more cumulative month’s use of
antibiotics in one’s life increases the risk of lymphoma by 40%. “Certainly,
physicians would not believe such a risk exists for penicillin, an antibiotic
given to billions of humans. However, it is, by definition a mycotoxin and
mycotoxins do cause cancer.” (Costantini, et al. 1998).
Antibiotics are contributing to everything
from 2nd heart attacks to breast cancer.
A week doesn't go by that we don't find yet another medical or societal
reference to fungi causing human misery. In September 1999, Johns
Hopkins medical researchers confirmed that virtually all chronic sinus
infections were due to fungus. Fungus makes poisonous byproducts
called mycotoxins. Antibiotics are one class of mycotoxins.
The fact that mycotoxins can cause cancer is not up for grabs. Even the
American Cancer Society admit: “Mycotoxins are genotoxic carcinogens,
and exposure begins in utero and in mother’s milk, continuing throughout
life; these conditions favor the occurrence of disease.” (Murphy, et al.
American Cancer Society Textbook of Clinical Oncology, 2nd ed. 1995)
Genotoxic means that mycotoxins can cause damage to genes. A
carcinogen is something that is known to cause cancer. To remain healthy
an increase our chances of health, regardless of whether we are currently
disease-free or have been diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer, it remains in our
best interest to minimize our exposure to the various sources of fungi and
mycotoxins.
Both cancer cells and fungi can metabolize nutrients in the absence of
oxygen (anaerobically) Both must have sugar in order to survive. Both can
be impacted by antifungal medicines.143 Both will die in the absence of
sugar.144“Mycotoxins have proven to be very toxic and harmful, and it is no
wonder that many inhabitants of mold-infested spaces are constantly ill,
mainly with upper respiratory tract infections, lethargy, constant headaches,
nausea, and a general ill feeling. Inhabiting these living spaces for a
considerable period may lead to cancer.”145
Cancer is defined as malignant tumor of disorderly cells that have the
potential of nearly unlimited growth. These uncontrolled cells expand
locally and/or metastasize (spread destructively) to other tissues and organs.
Clearly this can define a yeast or fungus colony as well as normal cells
losing control of their own reproductive growth, though this might be
another grand illusion of the medical industrial complex, which is prone to
medical illusions.
Most sensible cell biologists know that everyone forms cancer cells
many times over their lifetime, but “only” about 40 percent of us are ever
diagnosed with clinical cancer. This also can easily be translated into
meaning that all sensible cell biologists know that everyone has yeast and
fungus floating around in their bodies that grow and are beaten back many
times by the immune system. When doctors tell us that we all are born with
the potential to destroy cancer cells effectively using our immune systems it
is the same as saying that we are born with the potential to destroy yeast and
fungus invasions.
That metastatic cancer cells eat their way through the protective barriers
of an organ and march away form their proper organ and overrun other
tissues and organs describes yeast and fungus invasion perfectly. Today,
people are dying at alarming rates of all types of cancers/yeast infections
and hardly a soul in the United States has gone through life untouched by
cancer. People all around us are dropping like flies.
Cancer cells, whether you conceptualize them as run away body cells or
fungal invasions, have no effective defense against the natural healing
properties of the body. Thus immunotherapeutic techniques are effective.
Though oncologists are still playing with their navels or busy masterbating
about the causes of cancer, meaning they have not come out of their cribs
with any depth of understanding, even after spending 40 billion on research
in their war against cancer, we can do much to make sure we and our loved
ones do not die from it.
Now we have Dr. Doug A. Kaufman and Dr. David Holland who are, in
terms of diabettes, saying what Dr. Simoncini and Dr. Costantini are saying
about cancer; that the fungal invasion is a cause, NOT just a secondary
infection, but a primary infection, often mistaken for viral and bacterial
causes, and treated as such by the MD's, which only make it worse because
their medicines (antibiotics) promote fungal growth. Kaufman and Holland
make a significant link between diabetes and cancer, pointing out that when
our immune system is compromised and unable to fight off a fungal
invasion and stop its proliferation that the rates for cancer go up. Is it a
coincidence that diabetics have a 4 times greater rate of liver cancer?
Highly doubtful for diabetics have double the risk of pancreatic cancer
compared to non-diabetics, according to recent studies presented to the
Third Annual Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Meeting in Seattle in
2004. Below Dr. Kaufman shares his testimony:
The day I wrote this, a young lady phoned into my syndicated radio talk
show. Her three-year-old daughter was diagnosed last year with leukemia.
She believes antifungal drugs and natural immune system therapy has been
responsible for saving her daughter's life. She is now telling others with
cancer about her daughter's case. After hearing her story, a friend of hers
with bone cancer asked her doctor for a prescriptive antifungal drug. To
her delight, this medication, meant to eradicate fungus, was also
eradicating her cancer. She dared not share this with her physician, telling
him only that the antifungal medication was for a "yeast" infection. When
she could no longer get the antifungal medication, the cancer immediately
grew back. Her physician contended that a few antifungal pills surely
should have cured her yeast infection. It is my contention, however, that
the reason this medication worked was because she did have a yeast
infection not a vaginal infection for which this medication was prescribed;
a fungal infection of the bone that may have been mimicking bone cancer.
Many cancer patients find the true fungal link to their cancer only to
succumb to heart disease or immune deficiency caused by traditional
cancer treatment. If this case were an isolated event, it might be referred to
as "coincidental." I have been able to plead with doctors of advanced
cancer patients to at least try antifungal drugs for their patients.
Afterwards, simply amazing reports have come forth. Several of these have
been published in The Germ That Causes Cancer.
Dr. Doug A. Kaufman
For children early treatment with antiobiotics, and lifelong exposures to
many of them, only add to the problem by setting up the immune system to
be compromised. Kaufman and Holland in their book Infectious Diabetes
present a compelling account of how fungi may be the underlying cause of
diabetes and its complications, as well as many other autoimmune disorders.
The premise behind the book is that, contrary to being a genetic disease,
diabetes is actually caused by microbes and toxins in the foods we eat.
Heavy Metal Contamination promotes the growth of fungus
infections and are an essential etiology in their cause.
Cancer has been around as long as mankind, but only in the second half
of the 20th century did the number of cancer cases explode. Contributing to
this explosion are the excessive amounts of toxins and pollutants we are
exposed to, high stress lifestyles that zap the immune system, poor quality
junk food that's full of pesticides, irradiated and now genetically modified,
pathogens, electromagnetic stress, lights, and just about everything that
wasn't here 200 years ago. All these weaken the immune system, and alter
the internal environment in the body to an environment that promotes the
growth of cancer/fungal colonies.
Sodium bicarbonate lessens the development of polycystic kidney
disease in rats. Chronic administration of 200 mM sodium bicarbonate
to rats inhibited cystic enlargement and prevented the subsequent
development of interstitial inflammation, chronic fibrosis, and uremia.146
Fungi easily grow in the body after the part of the immune system that
controls fungi (i.e. kills it) has been compromised (e.g. by heavy metals,
pesticides, emotional shocks, etc). If the immune system is 100% intact,
then fungi should not grow in the body. The part of the immune system that
is most responsible for attacking fungi is the neutraphil function.
Dr. Milton White believed that cancer is a chronic,
infectious, fungus disease. He was able to find fungal
spores in every sample of cancer tissue he studied.
Cancer is not a mysterious disease that suddenly attacks us out of the
blue, something that we can't do anything about. It has definite causes that
we can correct in our bodies if we have enough time, and if we take action
to change the internal environment to one that creates health, not cancer.
Our protocol attacks cancerous cells and tumors by exploiting their
weaknesses, which can be done most directly with sodium bicarbonate
treatments combined with iodine and magnesium chloride as well as Alpha
Lipoic Acid and other substances that trigger chelation of heavy metals.
Overcoming cancer is a process of reversing the conditions that allowed the
cancer to develop, and going after and killing cancerous fungal colonies.
The average human IQ is plummeting primarily due
to IQ points in the population being chemically
destroyed via low level mercury exposure in children.
Professor Philippe Grandjean
Harvard University
Fungal overgrowth occurs because its natural competitors have been
removed, which is what happens with antibiotic usage. Pathogenic albicans
(chronic candidiasis, more commonly known as candida or thrush) is
generally caused by drug use, particularly antibiotic drug use, and poor diet,
lowered immunity altogether, and metals, especially dental amalgams.
Mercury will promote the growth of Candida, as it adsorbs the
mercury. Candida cannot be effectively dealt with without dealing with the
dental issues first (mercury issues). This is not an optional appraoch, but
necessarily part of the primary approach when mercury contamination is
involved.
Two studies found an association between exposure to
mercury and acute leukemia.On the basis of the available human
and animal data, the International Agency for Research on Cancer
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified
methyl mercury as a "possible" human carcinogen.
National Academy of Science147
According to the observations made by the internationally recognized
medical researcher, Dr. Yoshiaki Omura, all cancer cells have mercury in
them. Since mercury is the second most toxic substance on this planet, its
presence provides a strong initiating factor for disrupting cell function.
Support for this idea comes from Dr Hans Nolte who states that, "The wave
spectrum of mercury contains more than thirteen wavelengths, whereas only
one or two frequencies or wavelengths are usually observed for the other
heavy or noble metals." It is Dr. Nolte's belief that the many harmful effects
of mercury could be explained to some degree on the basis of this great
variety of wavelengths. Dr. Omura's clinical observation concludes that one
of the primary reasons cancer returns is because residual mercury
reignites a pathological environment even after surgery, chemotherapy,
radiation, and alternative therapies report a positive effect.148
200 micrograms of mercury would fit on the head of a pin.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
dropping that pinhead of mercury into 23 gallons of water
would make it unsafe for human consumption.149
Once mercury has attacked cells they become impaired in their ability to
detoxify and nurture themselves because mercury suffocates the
intracellular respiratory mechanism. The cells thus become toxic, some die
but the majority simply adopt, change their physiology and live in a state of
chronic malnutrition. The presence of mercury in the tissues represses the
immune system, which itself has to make a conscious adaptation to what
could easily become a lethal heavy metal environment. As mercury levels
increase the immune system does something very interesting for the sake of
survival. It begins to allow fungi and bacteria, which can bind large amounts
of toxic metals, to grow. It does this to alleviate the respiration of the cells
so they can breathe again but the cost is very high for the system has to
provide nutrition for the microorganisms and has to deal with their
metabolic products ("toxins").
When a bacterium or virus invades the body, the immune system
sends in its special cells to kill the invaders. One team of special
cells, macrophages, does this by releasing a burst of free radicals.
Dr. Klinghardt explains the hidden connection between such toxic
buildup and the inflammatory infections that are principle aspects of heart
diseases, saying “Toxic metals harm the cells of the body whereas the
invading microorganisms can often thrive in a heavy metal
environment. Research by Ludwig, Voll and others in Germany and Omura
and I here in the US, show that microorganisms tend to set up their
housekeeping in those body compartments that have the highest pollution
with toxic metals. The body's own immune cells are incapacitated in those
areas whereas the microorganisms multiply and thrive in an undisturbed
way.” He goes on to “suggest diagnosing and treating toxic metal residues
in the body along with the appropriate treatment of the microorganisms. As
long as compartmentalized toxic metals are present in the body,
microorganisms have a fortress that cannot be conquered by antibiotics.”
With any infection, especially one that continues for
decades, the body tries to seal off the infection.
It does this by building a fibrous wall around the battle zone.
There are many things that can start the chain reaction that leads to
cancer/fungus infections, but no matter what starts the chain reaction, part of
the process involved a microbe penetrating inside a normal cell, thus
breaking the Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain (ETC). This makes
the once normal cell anaerobic, and an anaerobic cell is defined to be
cancerous.
Tumors are not distinquishable from
the infections that inhabit them.
The Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in East Melbourne has revealed
three cancer patients have died from a fungal infection in its intensive care
unit.150 After a cycle of antibiotics use the candida/yeast/fungus overgrowth
that comes in its wake can be lethal. Cancer is defined as malignant tumor
of disorderly cells that have the potential of nearly unlimited growth. These
uncontrolled cells expand locally and/or metastasize (spread destructively)
to other tissues and organs. Clearly this can define a yeast or fungus colony
as well as normal cells losing control of their own reproductive growth.
Most sensible cell biologists know that everyone forms cancer cells
many times over their lifetime, but “only” about 40 percent of us are ever
diagnosed with clinical cancer. Said another way, all sensible cell biologists
know that everyone has yeast and fungus floating around in their bodies that
grow and are beaten back many times by the immune system. That
metastatic cancer cells eat their way through the protective barriers of an
organ and overrun other tissues and organs describes yeast and fungus
invasion perfectly. Today, people are dying at alarming rates of all types of
cancers/yeast infections and hardly a soul in the United States has gone
through life untouched by cancer. People all around us are dropping like
flies.
Although, there are millions of species of fungi, only about 400 species
of fungi make mycotoxins that are capable of causing human illness. Only
one, a mycotoxin from the fungi Aspergillus called Aflatoxin, is routinely
tested in our food supply.151 It is tested in corn, peanuts and other products.
A study published in January 2002 in The Journal of the American Medical
Association (JAMA) states virtually all of our corn supply, and much of our
peanut and grain supply, is impregnated with mycotoxins.
Scientists have directly implicated yeast and fungal toxins,
called mycotoxins, in the cause of Crohn’s disease. Former
World Health Organization expert Dr. A.V. Costantini
has found that people with Crohn’s often have aflatoxin,
a mycotoxin made by Aspergillus molds, in their blood.
Dr. Dave Holland
These mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by fungi or molds are
ubiquitous in the environment and are capable of damaging multiple
biochemical mechanisms, resulting in a variety of human symptoms referred
to collectively as "mycotoxicosis." In fact, mycotoxins mimic multiple
xenobiotics, not only with respect to their ultimate damage, but also in their
routes of detoxification. This suggests potential therapeutic options for the
challenging treatment of mycotoxicosis. Alpha lipoic acid has been shown
to protect against, or reverse, the adverse health effects of
mycotoxins.152
The various foods which are documented to cause prostate cancer share
little in common except that they are all high on the list of fungal mycotoxin
contaminated foods. The carcinogenic mycotoxin most often encountered is
aflatoxin. Aflatoxin, a recognized potent carcinogenic mycotoxin causes
normal human breast cells to become cancerous. Tumor tissues have higher
aflatoxin-adduct levels than do normal tissue from the same individual. The
presence of carcinogenic aflatoxin within the cancer tissue and thus
implicates aflatoxin as a cause of breast cancer. Le et al. (1986), in a French
case-control study of 1,010 breast cancer cases and 1,950 controls with
nonmalignant diseases, found that breast cancer was found to be associated
with increased frequency of mold-fermented cheese consumption.
Aflatoxin causes mutation of normal rat prostate cells
Link et al. 1983.
Dr. Holland says, “Although aflatoxin is the most carcinogenic substance
on the planet, ochratoxin beats it ten times over in terms of its toxicity and
the damage it inflicts on the human body.153 Despite this, the USDA does
not screen for ochratoxin. Other countries screen for up to 15 of the most
common mycotoxins, including zearalenone and fumonisin, as well as the
afore mentioned ochratoxin. Although these mycotoxins are common in
our food supply the USDA does not screen for their presence either.154
Incidentally mold-generated zearalenone mimics estrogen, which can throw
vicitm's entire hormonal systems off balance. It is found in high
concentrations in North America.”155
While cooking will kill fungi, their mycotoxins remain unaffected
by heat. So mycotoxins existing in grains, milk, and animals
fed them (livestock) will be carried to our dinner tables.
Fungus Infections of the Lungs
Going et al. (1990) found that calcium oxalate crystals are present in
calcifications found in the breast tissue of patients with breast cancer.
Oxalic acid (calcium oxalate crystals) in the sputum or lung specimens of
patients is also an indication of an Aspergillus infection of the lung. Oxalic
acid is a powerful corrosive agent and oxalate salts are widely used for their
cleaning and bleaching properties. Oxalic acid happens to be a mycotoxin
which can be produced by a number of different fungal species. Some fungi
produce such large amounts of oxalic acid that they are used for commercial
production of the chemical. These calcium oxalate crystals are the same as
the calcium oxalate found in breast cancers. The presence of oxalates in
the breast is indicative of the presence of fungi interwoven within the
stages of breast cancer development. Since humans do not make oxalic
acid themselves, this is an appropriate conclusion.
In 3 patients with a diagnosis of brain lymphoma and low grade
glioma on the basis of the surgical specimens, stereotactic
biopsy revealed only unspecific reactive tissue changes.156
Uric Acid is a Cause of Renal Disease157
Kaufman and Holland state that many fungal varieties produce uric
acid, which in turn produce alloxan. Alloxan, which is formed from uric
acid, even in small quantities induces diabetes in laboratory animals.158 “In
one study, they state,” it was found that rats injected with alloxan suffered a
drop in the number of beta cells in their pancreases, and a corresponding
sharp drop in insulin production”. The rat’s cholesterol and triglyceride
levels shot up, as well. Uric Acid was discovered to cause diabetes in 1949,
by Mervyn Griffiths.159 Alloxan, is now used to make laboratory rats
diabetic for research purposes. Urea and uric acid are always found together
in the urine, along with a small amount of alloxan. Alloxan appears to be the
intermediate stage in the conversion of uric acid into urea by oxidation.160
Increased uric acid is caused by yeast infections,
by fungus, by microorganisms using us for a host.
Uric acid produces alloxan and both cause diabetes.
Interestingly it was also found that uric acid or alloxan alone in small
amounts did not cause a diabetic condition if the glutathione levels remained
at normal levels in the lab animals tested.161 Shortly after this it was
discovered that Sacchromyces yeast produces uric acid.( Svlhia,1963), and
in 1976 after two children dying from diabetes were found to be infected
with Cryptococcus fungi, further studies were done by injecting
Cryptococcus directly into the pancreatic arteries. Necrosis (cell death) in
the Islets of Langerhans resulted. This is where insulin producing cells
originate. Cryptococcus fungi also produce alloxan, a uric acid byproduct.
Further studies through the years confirmed alloxan’s damage to the
pancreatic islet cells (Pogo, 1980) and in 1990 Coleman et. al fed mice a
diet of 10% brewers yeast, and diabetes resulted. In the 1980s it was found
that other alloxan-like metabolites of uric acid were diabetogenic, some
even more so than alloxan alone.162
Uric acid causes diabetes, heart disease, probably strokes
and renal disease as well as gout and kidney stones.
According to The Home Medical Encyclopedia, in 1963 about one-half of
all Americans suffered from an "unrecognized" systemic fungal condition.
Far more Americans suffer from fungal infections today as antibiotics,
hormone replacement therapies, and birth control pills continue to be
consumed like candy. Thus more and more children are becoming infected
with candidial meningitis or viral meningitis which means their systems are
suffering under the weight of these poisons, these mycotoxins. While the
gluten-free, casein free diet is a step in the right direction, it's not enough. It
is time we start focusing on conquering the systemic viral and fungal
infections with the same substances that can destroy these same infections in
the case of cancer.
In my practice I’ve noticed that clients who have chronic sub-clinical viral,
bacterial or yeast/fungal infections accumulate and retain heavy metals in
their bodies. It’s interesting to note that these chronic infections bind to
toxic metals so effectively that no chelating agent is able to remove them.
Dr. Ted Edwards
Dr. Edwards goes on to indicate that most patients who are
experiencing the ravages of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, multiple chemical
sensitivities, diabetes, lupus and other autoimmune diseases are found to
have both dysbiosis and leaky gut. What happens is the combination of
yeast-bacteria, yeast-virus, Candida infestation and heavy metal toxicity
alter the stomach and intestinal track to such a degree that it can no longer
function properly. It becomes highly reactive to gluten in grains or corn as
well as to caseins found in dairy products.
The bulk of the pancreas consists of cells whose job is to produce fluid
that contains enzymes and sodium bicarbonate. The enzymes digest food;
the sodium bicarbonate neutralizes hydrochloric acid from the stomach to
protect the delicate intestinal lining from damage. Without the sodium
bicarbonate in pancreas fluid to neutralize stomach acid the intestine can be
severely damaged by the highly caustic fluid that arrives from the stomach.
Thus, pancreatic enzyme insufficiency leads to maldigestion of food and
subsequent malnutrition, accompanied by signs of intestinal irritation and
we can start to imagine how useful bicarbonate is for children with autism.
The most promising development in the past ten years in treating
Interstitial Cystitis and Painful Bladder Syndrome is the development of
"rescue" instillations (or cocktails), a customized solution that can be placed
in the bladder and immediately help reduce pain and discomfort. Rescue
instillations are designed to accomplish several goals: (1) to help restore the
mucous in the bladder, (2) to help fight pain and inflammation and (3) to
help fight infection, if needed. The core pain fighting ingredient is usually
an alkalinized local anesthetic, such as lidocaine or marcaine. The bladder
lining has such a strong mucous barrier that normal lidocaine has difficulty
crossing through it. However, researchers (such as Richard Henry-Canada)
noticed that if you alkalinized the anesthetic with a precise amount of
sodium bicarbonate, it dramatically improved its ability to pass through the
mucous to reache and soothe the irritated nerves and tissues beneath.163
Sodium bicarbonate powder mixed with water is a very effective first aid
remedy. This can be used as a mouth rinse as well as swallowed to help
make the body more alkaline. Bicarbonate is a natural buffering compound
manufactured by the body. Canker sores (aphthous ulcers) are tiny
ulcerations that occur in the oral cavity on or near the tongue and on the
inner mucous membrane of the lip. They can be very painful to the point of
interfering with speech and eating. They also tend to heal slowly. The
source of the problem is usually an acid condition in the body caused by
food or chemical allergies. Sodium bicarbonate is effective for canker sores
and ulcers.
Spores are tiny single cells that are produced by fungi that have hyphae.
Spores are tiny single cells that are usually very resistant to environmental
changes. They can remain dormant for long periods of time until the
conditions are right for them to develop into mature individuals. Fungi are
heterotrophs, meaning that they secrete digestive enzymes and absorb
the resulting soluble nutrients from whatever they are growing on. For
this reason they are great decomposers in the ecosystem, but they can also
cause problems when they begin to absorb nutrients from a living organism.
They most commonly are breathed in or have contact with the skin. If
conditions are right and they start to reproduce, disease can result. Some
antifungal agents are available to treat these infections, but it has been much
more difficult for scientists to create successful antifungal drugs than
antibacterial drugs because the cells of fungi are much closer in structure to
the cells of animals than are bacteria. In creating drugs, it is hard to find an
agent that will kill the fungal cells and leave the animal cells unharmed. The
most successful drugs that have been created prevent the formation of
chitin, and therefore prevent the fungus from creating new cell walls and
spreading. The cell wall is the only structure that is not shared by the animal
and fungal cells. Other drugs bind to specific fungal proteins and prevent
growth. Unfortunately, many of the drugs available are only fungistatic,
meaning they can only prevent further growth rather than fungicidal,
meaning to kill the fungus. Many of the drugs used for serious fungal
infections have potentially toxic side effects.
Some evidence suggests that a fungus may be causing or
contributing to the remarkable decline in bee populations.
Fungus is a parasite and very often dictates eating behaviors in the host.
Typically, we see people who have a fungal condition with certain cravings
no knowing a host of fungal invaders are dictating their behavior; not
knowing that their arthritis, their cancer, their diabetes or other diseases are
related to fungus. These people tend to crave pasta, bread, potatoes and
sugar, which is one clue a physician can use to accurately diagnose their
case/condition.
83% - 25 people had various stages of systemic yeast infections in their
blood. This means that the fungus is flowing everywhere throughout the
body. This causes joint pain, stomach upset, allergies, reflux, and many
other disorders that are misdiagnosed by conventional medicine. Dr.
Marijah McCain identified the primary cause of death in cancer patients to
be NOT the cancer itself, but fungal overgrowth. The doctor also saw fungi
in other diseases such as: Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lupus,
Gulf War Syndrome.
"The Feds closed my clinic 2 years ago... They said the procedure I was
doing was categorized as "high complexity" and required unrealistic
laboratory requirements for me to practice (One drop of blood on a
microscope slide!) When I spoke to the idiot at CLIA in Dallas he said
quote "We are going to get rid of all of you." Nice... I will tell you in the
short time I was using my scope I saved over 25 lives from sure death and
also saw systemic yeast in everyone's blood. They don't want you to know
that this fungus is what is really killing you, not the cancer!!! The chemo
therapies contribute to this fungal overgrowth and it is deadly when not
treated. It is clearly present in all Fibromyalgia, CFS, Lupus, GWS and a
host of other problems they have conveniently mistitled. I knowit, because
I not only saw this with my own eyes, in every case, but I treated it
successfully and got results! People didn't die!!! They got better, even
when they had been given a cancer death sentence!"
How To Test For Fungi
Testing for fungi (same thing as "yeast") is very difficult. There are
several tests, yet they can easily produce false negatives (i.e. they don't see a
fungi, yet you still have one). One $500 test looks for antibodies (solders in
blood designed to attack specific invaders) to 10 different specific fungi. For
an example of such a test, please click here, here and here. There are many
types of fungi, and this is why they are often difficult to see. You could drop
$500 to look for 10 types of fungi, yet not be looking for the one you have.
Another technique is to look for several of the more common forms of fungi
in stool via a CDSA test. For an example of such a test, please click here.
The CDSA has the same problem as the antibody test — it only looks for
several species. Another way to test for fungi is to treat for it for 45days and
see if your symptoms noticeably (hopefully significantly) improve.
Dr. Tullio Simoncini’s Protocol
Contemporary oncology is incapable of giving us the answers and the
necessary therapy to those who are cancer patients and that, therefore, it is
our moral and ethical obligation to try to find the correct solution for the
gravest and most painful disease of our time.
The fungin infection theory and the cases we have presented represent a
new way of perceiving tumoral diseases by rejecting the myth of the genetic
causality of cancer. In my opinion, the fungin theory is the only successful
logical option today. Furthermore, when considering that the successes and
the recoveries we have described have been obtained by operating in a noncontinuous and unfavorable manner, it is legitimate to assume that with
appropriate structures and equipment, the results could become
extraordinary and could give back the hope of life to hundreds of thousands
of people in the world.
Side Effects
The side effects of the bicarbonate therapy are very few. Some people
feel a bit thirsty and suffer from a temporary tiredness. I believe that we
cannot administer full dosage for cancer patients with severe heart, renal,
and hepatic problems. In any case, however, it is best to try to reach the
maximum tolerable quantity, as a dosage that is too low or too thinly
distributed over time cannot be effective in depth.
In some patients, although not afflicted by other pathological conditions
other than a tumor, if there are many masses or the masses have large
dimensions we have sometimes observed a remarkable increase in the
temperature up to 39 degrees centigrade in the first days of therapy with
bicarbonate. This is the effect of the brutal lysis of the colonies, which in
some cases is even responsible for the high amylaceous contents and for
transitory renal insufficiency sometimes associated with a bladder urinary
block which can be solved through catheterization. Hypertension or
hypotension events as well as episodes of relapsing cephalea complete the
picture of side effects which, it is wise to emphasize, are rare and brief, that
is, without negative after effects.

Breast cancer 1 injection a day for 6 injections that could be
made in 7 – 8 – 9 days, depending on the state of the breast (it
could be swollen). The dosage depends on the size of the breast
and can change from 50 to 100 cc. Moreover SB solutions 500 cc
5% I.V. 6 days on, 6 days off for 4 cycles (total amount = 24
bottles).
Brain cancer. SB solutions 500 cc 5% I.V. 6 days on, 6 days off
for 4 cycles (total amount = 24 bottles). Then Brain MR.
Lung cancer. SB solutions 500 cc 5% I.V. 6 days on, 6 days off
for 4 cycles (total amount = 24 bottles). Then CAT scan
Stomach cancer. 1 spoonful SB in 1 glass water twice daily,
before breakfast and dinner. The patient should lay in the bed
with a pillow under the pelvis, with the aim to let the SB remain
in the stomach. Moreover, he has to turn around (one side every
ten minutes, supine, left side, right side, prone) so that SB can
contact all the walls of the stomach.
Bladder cancer. Locate a catheter into the bladder, from where
SB should be administered (150-200 cc 5%) daily for 6 days,
then every other day for ten days. At the end remove the
catheter. Reinsert it after 15 days, then repeat the whole
treatment. After that a check should be made. The patient should
lay in the bed with a pillow under the pelvis, with the aim to let
the SB remain in the stomach. Moreover, he has to turn around
(one side every ten minutes, supine, left side, right side, prone)
so that SB can contact all the walls of the bladder.
Peritoneal cancer. Locate a catheter in the abdomen from where
SB should be administered (200-500 cc 5%) daily for 6 days,
then every other day for ten days. Stop the therapy 1 week
(except to put 20 cc daily) then repeat 3 times the same
treatment. The patient should lay in the bed with a pillow under
the pelvis, with the aim to let the SB remain in the peritoneum.
Moreover, he has to turn around (one side every ten minutes,
supine, left side, right side, prone) so that SB can contact all the
walls of the peritoneum.

Liver cancer. Locate a catheter into the liver artery, from where
SB should be administered (500 cc 5%) daily, 6 days on 6 days
off for 4 cycles (total amount = 24 bottles). Then CAT scan.
Uterus cancer. Boil 1-2-3 litres water. Put 3-4 big spoonful in;
dip the finger in the solution and taste if it is salty; if yes, it is
good also for the uterus. After the water is become cold, put it in
the vaginal duct with a pipe as follows: the right position is in the
bath tub with the legs upper than the pelvis and the head lower
than the pelvis (use some plastic pillows under the pelvis). Take
the solution and push it slowly in the vaginal duct, so that it will
fill the cavity and then it will flow into the uterus. Moreover, the
patient has to turn around (one side every ten minutes, supine,
left side, right side, prone)) so that SB can contact all the walls of
the uterus
Prostate, spleen, pancreas arm and leg bones, can be treated
as the liver cancer by locating the catheter in the artery of the ill
organ.
Rectum cancer. Boil 1-2-3 litres water. Put 3-4 big spoonful in;
dip the finger in the solution and taste if it is salty; if yes, it is
good also for the rectum. After the water is become cold, make
slowly an enema by putting it in the rectum. The patient should
lay in the bed with a pillow under the pelvis, with the aim to let
the SB remain in the rectum. Moreover, he has to turn around
(one side every ten minutes, supine, left side, right side, prone))
so that SB can contact all the walls of the rectum.
Skin cancer (melanoma, epythelioma, basalioma). See above.
The therapy that is most indicated to counter all the instances described
above is the fast intravenous infusion (about one hour) of glucose phlebos at
5% or 10 % solution with the addition of potassium chloride, and
physiological solutions that are capable of complete resolution generally
without the utilization of any symptomatic drug by helping the drains to
bring the circulating catabolites back to the standard value.

The Therapy with Sodium Bicarbonate
Dr. Tullio Simonini
The fundamental reason and the motives that suggest a therapy with
sodium bicarbonate against tumours is that, although with the concurrence
of a myriad of variable concausal factors – the development and the local
and remote proliferation of these tumours has a cause that is exclusively
fungin.
At the moment, against fungi there is no useful remedy other than, in my
opinion, sodium bicarbonate. The anti-fungins that are currently on the
market, in fact, do not have the ability to penetrate the masses (except
perhaps early administrations of azoli or of amfotercin B delivered
parenterally), since they are conceived to act only at a stratified level of
epithelial type. They are therefore unable to affect myceliar aggregations set
volumetrically and also masked by the connectival reaction that attempts to
circumscribe them.
We have seen that fungi are also able to quickly mutate their genetic
structure. That means that after an initial phase of sensitivity to fungicides,
in a short time they are able to codify them and to metabolise them without
being damaged by them – rather, paradoxically, they extract a benefit from
their high toxicity on the organism.
This happens, for example, in the prostate invasive carcinoma with
congealed pelvis. For this affliction, there is a therapy with anti-fungins
which at first is very effective at the symptomatological level but through
time it consistently loses its effectiveness.
Sodium bicarbonate, instead, as it is extremely diffusible and without
that structural complexity that fungi can easily codify, retains for a long
time its ability to penetrate the masses. This is also and especially due to the
speed at which it disintegrates them, which makes fungi’s adaptability
impossible, thus it cannot defend itself. A therapy with bicarbonate should
therefore be set up with strong dosage, continuously, and with pauseless
cycles in a destruction work which should proceed from the beginning to the
end without interruption for at least 7-8 days for the first cycle, keeping in
mind that a mass of 2-3-4 centimetres begins to consistently regress from
the third to the fourth day, and collapses from the fourth to the fifth.
Generally speaking, the maximum limit of the dosage that can be
administered in a session gravitates around 500 cc of sodium bicarbonate at
five per cent solution, with the possibility of increasing or decreasing the
dosage by 20 per cent in function of the body mass of the individual to be
treated and in the presence of multiple localisations upon which to apportion
a greater quantity of salts.
We must underline that the dosages indicated, as they are harmless, are
the very same that have already been utilised without any problem for more
than 30 years in a myriad of other morbid situations such as:
Severe diabetic ketoacidosis.
Cardio-respiratory reanimation.
Pregnancy
Haemodialysis
Peritoneal dialysis
Pharmacological toxicosis
Hepatopathy.
Vascular surgery
With the aim to reach the maximum effect, sodium bicarbonate should be
administered directly on the neoplastic masses which are susceptible of
regression only by destroying the fungal colonies.
This is possible by the selective arteriography (the visualisation through
instrumentation of specific arteries) and by the positioning of the arterial
port-a-cath (these devices are small basins used to join the catheter). These
methods allow the positioning of a small catheter directly in the artery that
nourishes the neoplastic mass, allowing the administration of high dosages
of sodium bicarbonate in the deepest recesses of the organism.
With this method, it is possible to reach almost all organs; they can be
treated and can benefit from a therapy with bicarbonate salts which is
harmless, fast, and effective – with only the exception of some bone areas
such as vertebrae and ribs, where the scarce arterial irrigation does not allow
sufficient dosage to reach the targets.
Selective arteriography therefore represents a very powerful weapon
against fungi that can always be used against neoplasias, firstly because it is
painless and leaves no after effects, secondly because the risks are very low.
EXAMPLES OF THERAPY WITH
SODIUM BICARBONATE SOLUTIONS
Oropharynx cancer
The privileged anatomical position that is in contact with the outside
allows a very easy perfusion of the neoplastic masses that are in the mouth
and the tongue, on the palate and in the pharynx. The perfusions with
sodium bicarbonate solutions are very concentrated and simply obtained
with one-and-a-half teaspoons of the substance in a glass of water. The
treatment, to be administered twice a day, goes on for 10 days. At the end of
this period, the treatment is repeated once a day for another 10 days.
After a week of rest and if some small residual neoplasia persists, the
treatment is repeated.
In case of irritation, the administration of the bicarbonate can be
alternated with one day of rest, and, in the presence of blood, by the
administration of sodium chloride – that is, simple salt in water. If the
epipharynx or nasal cavities are affected, it would be useful to prescribe
inhalations and conjunctival instillations.
So far the therapy is easy. That, however, becomes more complex in a
presence of a deeper neoplastic process, that is , when neoplasias gain
grounds within the bodily structures. The impossibility to reach them from
outside imposes an arteriographic treatment through the external carotid
possibly associated with local infiltrations.
Stomach cancer
One of the tumours that are easiest to treat because of its easily reachable
position through the mouth is that of the stomach. Patients I treated 20 years
ago lived for a long time without mutilations. Some of them, among which a
relative of mine, are still living.
Administration and dosage: one teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in one
glass of water 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner for 15 days, then only
in the morning for another 30 days, making sure that the patient assumes all
the positions (prone, supine and lateral) so that contact with the salts is
achieved with all the mucus of the organ.
It may happen sometimes that the double daily administration may cause
diarrhoea discharge; but suspending the evening administration should be
able to solve the problem.
Generally after five to 10 days the blood in the feces disappears,
digestion begins to normalise and the feeling of heaviness tends to regress
with the result that the patient manages to gain weight.
Everything is fairly simple, therefore, when the neoplasia – even of large
dimensions – remains confined to the stomach wall and to some peripheral
lymphonoids.
In the case when there is a visible spreading in the adjacent structures –
especially in the ligaments – stomach cancer, as it is impossible to reach
completely, becomes extremely difficult to uproot.
The colonies, in fact, are not touched by the bicarbonate administered in
the stomach and work as a receptacle for a more marked proliferation where
they cannot be attacked.
They become the reference position of all the others, sustained in the
fight for survival by those elements of biochemical solidarity that are at the
basis of the formation and of the progression of the masses.
To better understand this concept, one can imagine a great spider web
formed by voluminous aggregates in the corners, and elements of linear
connection that join them and that work as communications means between
the cells.
When an element, an aggregation or a great part of the structure is
attacked, the alarm signals move form the more exposed colonies to those
which remain outside of the field of any toxic substance so that their
defence reactions can be activated and increased without limitation.
Furthermore, through the porous cellular network, a displacement of
nuclear elements from each cell towards a non-endangered location takes
place, with the result that a greater concentration of noble reproductive
structures can work undisturbed, even having the time to perform genetic
changes in function of the noxious agent.
It is in this way that all forms of resistance to drugs and to other
compounds (including bicarbonate) is developed, even though when it come
to the latter the adaptation is to be conceived in terms of resistance to the
low dosage used in the therapy.
The biological reactive network therefore explains the phenomena of
communication and defence between the aggregates, cells and spores that
are even quite distant from each other. It also explains the mechanism of the
metastases, which are nothing but new fungin masses that have colonised an
organ after departing and being fed by the mother colony.
Assuming, however, that the spider web is widespread and that it touches
many organs, one can ask why metastases are produced gradually, first in
one organ and then in another, and so on. The explanation consists in the
fact that, as long as a tissue has integrity and tone – that is, it is reactive – no
fungin rooting is possible. When it weakens, for the most various causes and
for the progression of the disease, beyond a certain limit it becomes more
attackable and thus it can be colonised. This is the reason why the main
causes of metastasis are often the official therapies, as they produce such
tissual suffering as to render those tissues defenceless to the fungi.
Going back to the stomach cancer, the points that are less accessible for
the therapy with bicarbonate are the ligaments, starting points for the
defence and the regeneration of the colonies. If, besides the ligaments there
is also an involvement of other organs, especially the liver, it all becomes
even more difficult.
It is therefore appropriate to treat the stomach tumour as soon as possible
and with the greatest possible intensity in order to uproot it completely and
once and for all before it is able to get itself “organised”. The positioning of
a catheter in perigastric location and an arterial one in the celiac tripod
through which it is possible to administer the bicarbonate directly on the
fungin masses can allow the regression of the disease even in complex
cases.
Liver cancer
All types of organic tissue, both primitive and metastatic, are reachable
through selective arteriography by utilising a catheter positioned in the
hepatic artery through which it is possible to administer 500 ccs 5 %
solution daily, possibly associating it with oral intake.
The regression always takes place if there is a sufficient quantity of
working hepatic parenchyma – at least 30 % -- even in the presence of an
infection from hepatitis virus. The life expectancy is in function of the size
of the masses and it can constantly increase as treatments are repeated
through time up to the restoration of normal life conditions.
Normally the therapeutic scheme includes a cycle via artery of 6-7 days,
to repeat each 3-4 weeks during which, in the intercalary periods, a teaspoon
of bicarbonate dissolved in water is taken on an empty stomach during the
rest day. Although rare, side effects occurring during the therapy are:
Elevation of body temperature up to 38 ° C, in some cases up to 39°
Cephalea
Moderate hypertension/hypotension events
Pain in the hepatic area, caused by the action of bicarbonate in the presence
of hemorrhagic elements
Urinary retention
All the symptoms described above caused by the bicarbonate that
immediately disintegrates the masses regress in a short time – about 30-60
minutes – through abundant oral hydration or with the administration of
phleboclyses that dilute the catabolites. The phleboclyses contain 10 %
glucose solution with the addition of potassium chloride and physiological
solutions.
In addition to the above therapeutic scheme, sometimes to attack a mass
that does not regress fast enough, it may be useful to position a small
catheter directly inside the neoplastic mass in which we can infuse the
sodium bicarbonate. If appropriately treated, liver cancer regresses in a very
high percentage of cases (90%) with equally elevated final recovery rates
(70-80%). The exceptions are cases where all or a vast part of hepatic
parenchyma (the hepatic matter) has been replaced by the neoplastic masses.
Peritoneal carcinosis
Almost all the neoplasias of the abdomen can expand either because of
contiguity or after surgical intervention in the peritoneal cavity, and
gradually spread in all possible directions.
Stomach, intestine, pancreas, bladder, prostate, uterus and ovaries are the
organs from which most frequently takes place an expansion in the cavity
with possible formation of ascitical liquid of the neoplastic type.
In fact, once the fungus colonies penetrate in the peritoneal serosa and
they get used to metabolising it, there is no more obstacle to their
advancement. In this way, the phenomenon of carcinosis takes place – a
morbid event that is outside the range of any conventional therapy.
Conversely, the method of therapy that I propose, as it is based on the
filling of the cavity with bicarbonate solution, is able to able to reach the
fungin masses in their totality and it turns out to be extremely effective in
their destruction.
The method consists in the positioning of a transdermal catheter in the
abdomen through which the invaded tissues are abundantly irrigated for
about 30-40 days after draining the pre-existing liquid.
For the first three days, 300-400 ccs of sodium bicarbonate 5 % solution
are introduced and left inside the peritoneal cavity. This is drained the day
after before the new administration. For the following 12 days, the dosage is
lowered to 100-200 ccs of solution, to be drained 1-2 hours after the
treatment. The procedure is repeated from the 15th to the 30th-40th day with
a cadence of one day on and two off.
The dosages described above are to be considered indicative, as they
change in function of the response, of the weight of the body and by the side
effects that may take place.
Flatulence and feeling of fullness that often already exist as well as more
or less marked pain are almost constant symptoms, especially in the first
days. But the symptoms sharply regress as the therapy proceeds.
Hypertensive or hypotensive episodes as well as thirst and lack of
appetite complete the picture of possible undesirable side effects. The most
serious complication may be the development of an infection inside the
cavity, generally caused by the lack of a thorough daily medication of the
catheter and the bandages. If this occurs, it must be immediately treated
with high dosages of intramuscular antibiotics which can resolve it in a
short time. In the presence of carcinoses of large dimensions, an
intervention for the resection of the masses is to be performed with the
purpose of “lightening up” the abdominal cavity and making the action of
bicarbonate more effective.
Intestinal cancer
The choice of the treatment to perform with sodium bicarbonate depends
on two factors: the size of the mass and the depth of infiltration in the
intestinal wall.
In the case when the neoplasia – regardless of its shape – is all inside the
intestinal lumen, the most effective method to attack it is colonoscopy,
through which it is possible to administer 150-200 grams of sodium
bicarbonate in two litres of luke-warm water, going as far as the ileumcaecal valve.
Even when within a few days the masses regress conspicuously, it is best
to program from seven to nine session for a period of three to four weeks,
keeping in mind that the first ones must be first together to have an
immediate effect, and that the last ones are for the purpose of consolidation.
The possible crossing beyond the intestinal wall, or the simultaneous
presence of a hepatic metastases impose a specific therapy for these organs
as well.
During or after each session with bicarbonate salts, temporary episodes
of diarrhoea can take place, but this is not cause for the interruption of the
therapy; at most, it may be appropriate to pause for some days.
Under certain dimension, and that is if the tumour has not completely
invaded the intestinal lumen to the point of sub occlusion or occlusion, the
endoscopic treatment turns out to be very efficacious for obtaining the
regression of the masses.
Where, instead, there is an extreme situation or the simultaneous
presence of other synchronous tumour, that is, existing in other sections of
the intestine, and where it would be very difficult to reach after passing the
first mass, then in such cases surgical intervention is indicated, as it saves
the performance of the canalization down to the anus.
This is possible through terminal or lateral anastomosis (terminal –
terminale o latero – laterale) of the resected stumps, later treated both in the
surgical theatre and through post-surgical draining with local and regional
administration of sodium bicarbonate capable of preventing the formation of
possible local or hepatic relapses.
When tissues are more vulnerable in the cicatricial points where
reactivity equals zero, or at the hepatic level because of the toxic effects of
the anaesthesia, the treatment with bicarbonate prevents that fungin
regermination that most of the time causes a return of the disease impossible
to tame. The indications for prevention in this case are the same as those for
the therapy of peritoneal carcinosis.
Cancer of the spleen
The only efficacious method is selective arteriography of the spleenic
artery. This provides excellent results immediately and in general does not
cause troublesome side-effects.
Next to the speenectomy, which is the conventional chosen treatment,
not only does it spare the organ, but it also prevents the possible neoplastic
propagation at the hepatic or systemic level. In any case, even if surgical
intervention is chosen, a preventive measure applied locally and generally
with sodium bicarbonate turns out to be extremely efficacious to impede a
return of the neoplastic pathology.
Tumour of the pancreas
Here too, the arteriographic therapeutic approach applies, although
sometimes the side-effects are more disturbing than they are for the spleen.
During the first infusions, in fact, the nausea and heaviness episodes are
more acute, as well as the pain felt at the moment of the infusion at the
pancreatic artery because of its small diameter, which causes reactions due
to its temporary, forced stretching.
One positive element of reaction which indicates the quick sensitivity of
the colonies to sodium bicarbonate is the fact attenuation of the existing
dorsal pain. Sometimes when surgical or biliar interventions have been
performed, it may be that anomalous vascular conditions have occurred. In
this case, arteriographic therapy may not be very efficacious. The crossing
of the colonies in adjacent tissues or in the liver imposes a specific therapy
even for these pathological conditions.
Bladder tumour
The therapeutic approach depends on the anatomical configuration of the
neoplastic invasion. That is, on whether the tumour is limited to the internal
walls or if it goes over into the pelvic cavity. In the presence of carcinomas
that are superficial or partially infiltrating, it is sufficient to administer
bicarbonate solutions directly in the bladder through a catheter and also by
administering an oral therapy of one teaspoon in a glass of water on an
empty stomach to obtain very positive results almost all the time. In general,
after two or three days and also in the presence of large projecting masses,
we can observe a regression of the painful symptomatology and, if present,
the elimination of hematuria episodes.
Dosage: 150-200 cc through catheter for four consecutive days, then
every other day for two weeks, then one day on and two off for two further
weeks, taking care of suspending for one or more days in the presence of
evident pain or erythrocytarian diapedesis.
The vesicle epithelium, in fact – burdened by the disease or by previous
endoscopic instillations of mythomicine or other drugs – demands, because
of its suffering condition, particular attention and vigilance. That means a
continuous therapeutic modulation in function of the subject.
In the case of pelvic overflow, both selective arteriography and
abdominal catheters are indicated, through which it is possible to attack the
masses in a concentric and conclusive way. Sometimes a neoplastic
affliction of the urethras may be present, and that is very difficult to perfuse
with sodium bicarbonate solutions through the vesicle catheter.
In this case, the position of a transdermal catheter in the afflicted urether
– that is, a nephrostomy – allows the reaching and the destruction of those
masses missed by the sodium bicarbonate.
Vesicle tumours are very sensitive to the action of sodium bicarbonate,
which almost always causes the regression of the masses.
Prostate tumour
If there has been no surgical operation, it is possible to attempt firstly to
treat the neoplasia through urethral catheters which allow the spreading of
the saline solutions inside the prostatic lobes through the ducts. To this it is
possible to associate periglandular infiltrations implementable transrectally
by utilising very long needles of the type used for amniocentesis.
Where it is not possible to treat the mass adequately or in the presence of
post-surgical relapse, the administration of sodium bicarbonate to be
repeated in cycles of 6-7-8 days per month directly in the pudendal artery
generally turns out to be extremely effective.
In the presence of a concomitant invasion of the pelvic cavity, it is
possible to adopt the same therapeutic scheme used for peritoneal
carcinosis, that is, by using a small catheter to position inside the abdomen
and close to the mass.
Possible bone metastasis, instead, requires a completely different
therapeutic approach, which depends on both the number and location of the
lesions.
If the lesions are not numerous, it is appropriate to program for each one
a cycle of targeted radiotherapy, supported by administrations of 500 cc
sodium bicarbonate phleboclyses, to perform after each session with the
purpose of preventing a further germination and spreading of fungin cells.
Each physical treatment that destroys neoplastic matter, in fact, implies
the simultaneous destruction of a quota of the tissues of the host. It is this
cellular death that works as both bait and lifesaver for the fungin cells which
manage to survive by nourishing themselves with the decomposing tissues.
Radiotherapy, laser therapy or thermo-ablation generally fail for this
reason, as they leave at the periphery of the treated area those cellular units
that are able to vigorously resume the proliferation once the treatment is
over. Of this I am convinced because I have studied in depth the behaviour
of the fungin colonies, especially during the first years of application of my
method of therapy. In the presence of epithelial tumours, I even tried to burn
them with instruments that were red hot, and well beyond their dimensions.
But it was useless. After just 10-20 minutes, I was observing fungin cells at
the periphery of the burn that were more vital than ever.
Pleura tumour
There is no doubt that primary or secondary pleuric neoplasias are
amongst the easiest to treat with the therapy method I propose, as I have
observed in almost all the cases the complete regression of the disease
unless in the presence of a previous pleurodesys intervention.
Method: After the positioning of an endopleuric catheter with the
ecographic guide and after the drainage of the existing liquid, administer
150-200 ccs in the cavity for three consecutive days, then on alternative
days for 12 days. From the 15th to the 30th day, administer 100-150 ccs and
drain after one hour – this to be performed one day on and two off.
Normally, after the fourth-fifth day, the hemothorax – if it was present –
disappears, and after 10-15 days (except in some rare cases) it is no longer
necessary to aspirate liquids, as the pleura has gone back to normal. Much
attention is to be paid to the medication of the gauzes and of the catheter, as
both can become very dangerous sources of infection and of pleuric
empyema – an episode that can occur also in the case when too elevated
dosages of salts are administered.
Tumours of Limbs
There is a great variety of tumours that develop in the upper and lower
limbs. The tumours are both primary and metastatic. Osteosarcoma,
Ewing’s sarcomas, condrosarcomas, and others mainly belong to a juvenile
pathology while the metastatic types concern more adult pathology.
The attempt to destroy them consists in sodium bicarbonate solution at
five per cent in doses that are proportional to the weight of the patient. This
is achieved through the application of catheters in the arteries in the afferent
arteries to each limb. All the masses downstream of the application point
generally regress almost completely, even though in some cases the effects
of the therapy become visible only three to four months later when, that is,
the tissue re-absorption and reshaping phenomena are almost completed.
The only real problem with this therapy is that the arteries of a young
patient are of small cross-section, and that means that for each
administration the solicitations and the stretching of the nerva vasorum
produce a steady, painful symptomatology. The symptoms, however, are
temporary, and concern only the period of administration. Nevertheless this
sometimes forces the suspension of the treatment for one or two days.
In the case of bone metastasis, it is possible to obtain an almost complete
remission of the painful symptoms by performing direct percutaneal
infiltrations on each lesion. This can be done by leaving a cannula needle in
contact with the bone.
Brain cancer
All brain tumours both primary and metastatic in general regress or stop
growing after the therapy with sodium bicarbonate at five per cent. For the
first cycle the therapy is to be performed for at least six to eight days
because under six days the disease starts again in a relatively short time and
often becomes irreversible. The administration of the solutions takes place
through sequential catheterisation of the two internal carotids and of the
Willis’ Circle with 150 cc in each area. In this way the total perfusion of the
encephalus is obtained. The perfusion must always be quantitatively
modulated in function of the location of the largest masses.
So, for example, if there is one mass in the right frontal area, it is
appropriate to deliver 250 cc of solution in that anatomic compartment
while the remaining 250 cc are subdivided in the other two vascular areas.
During the infusion, the patient is awake and he is actually the person who
dictates rhythm and speed, because the slightest vascular solicitation is
sensed immediately.
The therapeutic scheme is based on the dimensions of the masses; the
larger they are, the more they need additional cycles delivered arterially.
The dimensional limit of 3-3.5 cm within which a rapid shrinking of the
masses is possible turns out to be a determining factor.
Instead, when masses greater than 4-5 cm have to be treated – or in the
presence of multiple locations in all hemispheres – it is necessary to
increase the number AMOUNT? and frequency of the cycles of therapy.
An ever-present side effect during the therapy is thirst. A general but
momentary sense of pain as well as tachycardiac events represent the most
common symptoms.
In cases where the masses are very large or in the presence of a diffused
meningeal carcinosis, after the first treatment sessions it is possible to
observe a loss of mental performance which, although sometimes is acute
and persists for several hours, completely disappears after treatments.
Lung cancer
In general, this neoplasia responds very well to the therapy with sodium
bicarbonate five per cent, which is implemented through arteriographic
transcardial catheter positioned in the pertinent pulmonary artery. This
allows the administration of the optimal doses against the mass or masses.
An eight to nine day cycle is sufficient to either or cause the regression
of the disease. However, when the mass is present in the bronchial lumen as
well, it is appropriate to program a cycle of at least 4 to 5 bronchoscopies
through which it is possible to perculate in the bronchial airway from 30-50
ccs of bicarbonate solution, to be left in location. Already after the first
treatment it is possible to notice a reduction of the bronchial stinosis and
edema with evident improvement in symptoms.
Aside from possible generic symptoms ties to the administration of
bicarbonate, the therapy is always well-tolerated and presents no problem
except when the hyper-alkaline environment caused by the infusions favours
the development of some bacterial stock which demands immediate
treatment with antibiotics. This applies especially in heavily debilitated
patients.
When the pleura or other organs are involved, anti-tumour therapies that
are specific to each anatomical area must be applied.
Breast cancer
If the cancer is of small dimensions, deep peri-lesion infiltrations may
be sufficient. The infiltrations must be performed after local anaesthesia by
associating intravenous phleboclysis
For 400-500 ccs on alternate days for a month. If the mass is large it is
also necessary to apply a catheter to the internal mammary artery through
which to infuse the sodium bicarbonate five per cent solutions directly on
the neoplasia with six to seven days cycles.
Aside from a light soreness there are no significant side effects. As can
be noted, we are talking about harmless and quickly effective methodologies
that are capable of preventing surgical intervention. These methods should
be always attempted in any case, even when there is doubt as to the final
result, since they give positive responses in a short time without
compromising the possibility of other therapeutic approaches.
The issue becomes more complex instead when in the presence of other
organs that have been metastasised and that involve additional therapies of
the colonised tissues and that complicate any possible future positive
outcome. In every case – even in the presence of a diffused neoplastic
disease – the bicarbonate therapy always attenuates the para-neoplastic
painful symptoms, thus increasing both the quantity and the quality of the
life of the patient.
If the patient is uncertain about what to do or if she has a propensity to
partial or total surgical intervention, a backup treatment with sodium
bicarbonate administered through phlebo or mouth is always appropriate, as
it is capable of preventing and countering the metastatization of other organs
(brain, liver, bones), which is very frequent with this type of neoplasia.
Skin cancer
All skins cancers are always caused by Candida fungus which has
adapted itself to metabolising the most proteinaceous constituents of the
epidermis and that therefore only rarely can it be treated with sodium
bicarbonate solutions.
For epithileomas, basaliomas and melanomas, the treatment to choose is
iodine solution at seven per cent, as it is capable of precipitating the proteins
of the body of the fungus and destroying them completely in a short time. If
the lesions are fairly small, they must be painted with the solution 10-20-30
times twice a day for five days and then once for another ten days so that
they become very dark. When the eschar is formed and it is higher than the
epidermic plane, it is necessary to continue to paint under and above it, even
if at first a strong pain is sensed.
This very same operation must be repeated for the second eschar that is
formed. At this point, the lesion may be considered destroyed, because after
the third cycle it is possible to reach the centre of the neoplasia, where the
colonies try to resist to the last.
In the presence of a tumour of large dimensions, before performing the
treatment with iodine solution, it is necessary to perform a cycle of
subcutaneous infiltrations with sodium bicarbonate at five per cent under the
lesion for the purpose of liberating the tissue from the possible invasion of
the deep planes and of the basal lamina. If this is not done, we risk that the
fungus, once destroyed at a superficial level, will defend itself by
trespassing into those levels where a conclusive action of the iodine solution
is impossible.
In cases where the tumour has invaded a cutaneous-mucous transitional
zone like the anus, eyelids, vagina or mouth, it is necessary to perform a
preliminary treatment of the mucous area with bicarbonate and then, after
the elimination of the colonies existing there, proceed to treat the cutis with
iodine solution.
It is appropriate to highlight that the same type of therapy is to be applied
also to psoriasis and to the known fungin afflictions.
In fact, the difference between cutaneous mycosis, psoriases and tumours
consists only of a variation of aggressiveness and thus of depth of rooting,
since the causal agent is always the same: a fungus. Sometimes for the
therapy, other corrosive salts can be used in function of the location in the
body. What is certain is that dermal ointments and lotions are effective only
rarely.
Case Studies
Case 1: A 70-year old female patient with diagnosis of stomach
adenocarcinoma confirmed by commonly accepted oncological tests (TAK,
biopsy, etc.). Two days before the scheduled operation, she accepts the
suggestion of trying a less sanguinary approach, and leaves the hospital. For
the period of a month, she is administered sodium bicarbonate (one
teaspoon in a glass of water) to ingest half an hour before breakfast (that is,
on an empty stomach) for the purpose of maximising the effect. After about
two months normalisation of the gastric function takes place with
attenuation at first, and eventual loss of all the symptomatology related to
neoplastic pathology (lack of appetite, digestion troubles, fatigue,
lipothymic events, etc.). After an endoscopic examination performed one
year after the beginning of therapy, the total remission of neoplastic
formation is ascertained and the patient refuses further investigation. The
patient is still alive today, 15 years after the treatment.
Case 2: A 67-year-old patient with a long history of gastric ulcer is
diagnosed with stomach cancer and a gastrectomy is suggested. The patient,
believing his disease is just an exacerbation of the ulcer, wants to find an
alternative to surgery. He therefore accepted a therapy with sodium
bicarbonate as in case 1. The therapy determines in a few months the
regression of the neoplastic symptomatology. After about 18 months, during
which no check-up is performed, upon the return of symptomatology,
treatment is resumed as above. Gastric functionality is quickly reestablished and maintained for about eight years, after which contact with
the patient is lost.
Case 3: A 58-year-old patient with stomach carcinoma is diagnosed through
histological examination performed on endoscopical sample. The patient
chooses not to undergo the conventional therapies and he decides to accept a
therapy similar to that in the two preceding cases. The resulting effect is a
normalisation of symptomatology for about three years, that is, until there
are no further medical check-ups.
Case 4: In September, 1983, a 71-year-old patient undergoes a hospital
check-up in a serious condition of emaciation caused by a large weight loss
(about 15 Kgs.) which occurred over the prior few months. Once a stomach
neoplastic condition has been diagnosed, and after the layout of a combined
oncological therapeutic scheme, the relatives are informed. The relatives are
also informed of the difficulties and risks of such treatment, to be
administered to such a debilitated patient. The wife decides to refuse the
conventional approach and decides to bring the husband home and try the
"harmless" therapy of baking soda, which is administered in a lower dosage
than in the preceding cases. That restores appetite and a satisfactory
digestive functionality. For about eight months the patient has difficulty
regaining weight. After this, the improvement is more and more evident,
with the almost complete regaining of the lost weight (within 24 months)
and a considerable improvement of the patient's general condition.
Case 5: A 51-year-old patient diagnosed at the end of 1983 with bronchial
carcinoma in the lower right lobe has the diagnosis confirmed by routine
oncological tests (distinctively positive TAK but negative bronchial residue.
Surgery is proposed. The family decides to delay surgery and try the
bicarbonate treatment. Radiological examination is performed 18 months
after the treatment. During these months there are no emophtoic episodes as
occurred at the beginning of the disease. The radiological examination still
indicates the presence of a nodular mass in the lower part of the right lobe,
but its dimensions appear to be smaller and the contours of the mass more
regular.
Case 6: A 48-year-old patient with tumour in the middle lobe of the lung
that has been confirmed by all oncological examinations is put on a waiting
list for surgery at the beginning of 1983. Incidentally, the execution
modality does not seem to be completely defined because the neoplastic
mass exceeds the limits. The patient leaves the hospital against the advice of
doctors - to the point that the doctors look for him for several months. He
then submits to a bicarbonate therapy which is able to re-establish healthy
conditions. A radiological examination performed after nine months reveals
that the neoplastic mass has been replaced by a tenuous transversal line
located at the base of the medium lobe that can be interpreted as a residual
scar. The patient is still living.
Case 7: In 1981, a 55-year-old patient is affected by rectal neoplasy that has
been evidentiated through symptoms such as problems with evacuation and
bleeding, and, instrumentally, through endoscopic examination. Doctors
suggest rectal resection and consequent surgical construction of a
preternatural anus. In the attempt to avoid this mutilation, the patient
submits to a local therapy with bicarbonate performed with enemas
containing a high bicarbonate solution -- 8 teaspoons per litre. Three years
after the treatment, the patient was still living.
Side Effects
The side effects of the bicarbonate therapy are very few. Some people feel a
bit thirsty and suffer from a temporary tiredness.
I believe that we cannot administer full dosage for cancer patients with
severe heart, renal, and hepatic problems. In any case, however, it is best to
try to reach the maximum tolerable quantity, as a dosage that is too low or
too thinly distributed over time cannot be effective in depth.
In some patients, although not afflicted by other pathological conditions
other than a tumor, if there are many masses or the masses have large
dimensions we have sometimes observed a remarkable increase in the
temperature up to 39 degrees centigrade in the first days of therapy with
bicarbonate. This is the effect of the brutal lysis of the colonies, which in
some cases is even responsible for the high amylaceous contents and for
transitory renal insufficiency sometimes associated with a bladder urinary
block which can be solved through catheterization. Hypertension or
hypotension events as well as episodes of relapsing cephalea complete the
picture of side effects which, it is wise to emphasize, are rare and brief, that
is, without negative after effects.
The therapy that is most indicated to counter all the instances described
above is the fast intravenous infusion (about one hour) of glucose phlebos at
5% or 10 % solution with the addition of potassium chloride, and
physiological solutions that are capable of complete resolution generally
without the utilization of any symptomatic drug by helping the drains to
bring the circulating catabolites back to the standard value.
General Information on Sodium Bicarbonate
Bicarbonate is a major element in our body. Secreted by the stomach, it
is necessary for digestion. When ingested orally it helps buffer lactic acid
generated during exercise and also reduces the acidity of dietary
components. It has a prevention effect on dental cavities.
Bicarbonate is present in all body fluids and organs and plays a major
role in the acid-base balances in the human body. The first organ where
food, beverages and water stay in our body is the stomach. The mucus
membrane of the human stomach has 30 million glands which produce
gastric juice containing not only acids, but also bicarbonate. The flow of
bicarbonate in the stomach amounts from 400 µmol per hour (24.4 mg/h) for
a basal output to 1,200 µmol per hour (73.2 mg/h) for a maximal output.
Thus at least half a gram of bicarbonate is secreted daily in our stomach.
This rate of gastric bicarbonate secretion is 2-10% of the maximum rate of
acid secretion. In the stomach, bicarbonate participates in a mucusbicarbonate barrier regarded as the first line of the protective and repair
mechanisms. On neutralization by acid, carbon dioxide is produced from
bicarbonate.
Effects of ingested bicarbonate
For digestion, bicarbonate is naturally produced by the gastric membrane
in the stomach. This production will be low in alkaline conditions and will
rise in response to acidity. In healthy individuals this adaptive mechanism
will control the pH perfectly. To modify this pH with exogenous doses of
bicarbonate, some clinical experiments have been conducted with sodium
bicarbonate loads as high as 6 g.
The most important effect of bicarbonate ingestion is the change in acidbase balance as well as blood pH and bicarbonate concentration in
biological fluids. It has been studied particularly in physically active people.
Among the types of acid produced, lactic acid generated during exercise is
buffered by bicarbonate. Mineral water which contains bicarbonate (>600
mg/l) may have an effect on acid-base balance. The daily consumption of
1.5 liter of Qu zac in healthy subjects has produced a significant increase in
the urinary pH due to the ingested bicarbonate (1685 mg/l).Oral intake of
bicarbonate in healthy subjects has produced a significant increase in the
urinary pH due to the ingested bicarbonate.
San Pellegrino: 219.6 mg per litre
Perrier: 390 mg per litre
Vittel: 402 mg per litre
Campilho: 1479 mg per litre
Qu zac: 1685.4 mg per litre
San Narciso: 2165.5 mg per litre
Prevention of renal stones
Bicarbonate also reduces the acidity of dietary components such as
proteins. As an example, adding sodium or even more potassium
bicarbonate to subjects on a high protein diet known to acidify urine and
leading to hypercalciuria (high level of calcium in urine) has been shown to
greatly reduce calcium urinary excretion. The effect has been observed with
5.5 g of bicarbonate supplement received daily for two weeks. Thus
bicarbonate-rich mineral water could be useful in the prevention of the
recurrence of calcium oxalate and uric acid renal stones.
Many oral hydration solutions contain bicarbonate showing the
usefulness of bicarbonate to control water absorption in patients at risk of
dehydration.
Sodium intake is restricted in patients with hypertension, but it is
demonstrated that the accompanying anion, such as bicarbonate or chloride,
plays an important role. It is now well established that sodium bicarbonate
as well as citrate and phosphate salts do not raise blood pressure to the same
extent as do the corresponding amounts of sodium chloride. A study on
mineral water containing sodium bicarbonate has confirmed the absence of
effect on blood pressure in elderly individuals.
Bicarbonate has been shown to decrease dental plaque acidity induced by
sucrose and its buffering capacity is important to prevent dental cavities.
Other studies have shown that bicarbonate inhibits plaque formation on
teeth and, in addition, increases calcium uptake by dental enamel. This
effect of bicarbonate on teeth is so well recognized that sodium bicarbonatecontaining tooth powder was patented in the USA in October 1985. Sodium
bicarbonate has been suggested to increase the pH in the oral cavity,
potentially neutralizing the harmful effects of bacterial metabolic acids.
Sodium bicarbonate is increasingly used in dentifrice and its presence
appears to be less abrasive to enamel and dentine than other commercial
toothpaste.
An ingestion of 300 mg/kg of body weight of bicarbonate before
exercising will help you reduce muscular fatigue and so increase the
performance of short- term physical exercise.
Sodium bicarbonate
The ingestion of sodium carbonate as a buffering agent has been studied
in various experimental designs. Plasma bicarbonate concentrations were
shown to increase after oral ingestion but intracellular concentrations
of bicarbonate in muscle were unchanged. However, recent studies
underline that bicarbonate increases the transport of lactate from muscle.
Even if the mechanism of the effect of bicarbonate is a matter of
discussion, it is clear that at a dose close to 300 mg per kg of body weight of
ingested bicarbonate increases the buffering capacity of blood and may
decrease the acidity of the muscle pH. As a consequence, acid accumulation
will be attenuated and energy production or force maintained. The improved
acid balance obtained by this administration produces a reduction of fatigue
and an enhancement of strength recovery.
Mineral water
Natural mineral or spring waters have various contents of bicarbonates,
from some tens to hundreds of mg/litre for still waters and from several
hundreds to thousands of mg/litre for sparkling waters. Although studies
have shown an effect on acid-base balance of some mineral waters
containing more than 600 mg of bicarbonate per litre, physically active
people need to drink large amounts of water to observe an effect on fatigue
when exercising. In athletes, several authors have shown a significant
increase in blood pH and blood bicarbonate.
Researchers found a link between the severity of some forms of cystic
fibrosis and the ability of a key protein to move particular molecules -bicarbonate ions -- across cell membranes.
Contraindication for bicarbonate
For people with the rare illnesses of Bartter syndrome or Gitelman
syndrome, bicarbonate may be contraindicated. These rare sufferers may
add a few drops of Real-Lemon juice concentrate to any bicarbonatecontaining beverage to neutralize it.
Common Uses for Bicarbonate
For neutralization of acids
The reaction of acids with sodium bicarbonate is a common method for
neutralizing acid spills. The advantage to this method is that one can use
excess sodium carbonate, which is relatively innocuous. The neutralization
process is signaled by the release of gaseous CO2. A wide variety of
applications follow from its neutralization properties including ameliorating
the effects of white phosphorus in incendiary bullets, from spreading inside
a soldier's afflicted wounds. Military Application It is commonly used to
increase the pH and total alkalinity of the water for pools and spas. Sodium
bicarbonate can be added as a simple solution for restoring the pH balance
of water that has a high level of chlorine.
It is sometimes used in septic tanks to control pH and bacteria.
It neutralizes battery acid.
Miscellaneous and domestic uses
Baking soda has many uses.
As a deodorizer
An absorbent for moisture and odors; an open box can be left in a
refrigerator for this purpose. However, according to one source, baking soda
does not actually absorb odors well when used in a refrigerator. Can be used
to clean vacuum flasks, especially after they've developed an odor from not
being used for a long time whilst being stored with the cap on.
As a substitute for talcum powder to prevent foot odor.
To clean a microwave oven from lingering odors.
Rubbed into one's hands to remove odors from food preparation.
As pest control
It kills fleas and drives away ants. If it is applied to a pet's fur, it must be
washed/rinsed off to prevent skin problems. Can be used to kill crab grass.
Must be used repeatedly to control but is effective. Dampen area then
sprinkle lightly, too much may harm desired grass temporarily. The bottom
part of a door frame can be lined with sodium bicarbonate to keep out ants.
Medical uses
If made into a paste salve with vinegar, it relieves burning from bug stings
(particularly bee stings), poison ivy, nettles, and sunburn. It is used as an
antacid to treat acid indigestion and heartburn. Mixed with water in a 10%
solution can soften earwax for removal. In paramedicine, sodium
bicarbonate 8.4% is administered intravenously for cases of acidosis and
overdoses of acidic toxic substances, such as tricyclic antidepressants and
aspirin. Adverse reactions to emergency administration include congestive
heart failure, with edema secondary to sodium overload, and the metabolic
complication of hyperosmolarity, metabolic acidosis, and hypernatremia.
Cosmetic uses
It is marketed as a whitener in some toothpaste brands. Add to hair if it's
dirty and there's no time to wash it. Dry with warm air.
As a cleaning agent
A paste from baking soda can be very effective when used in cleaning and
scrubbing. A solution in warm water will remove the tarnish from silver
when the silver is in contact with a piece of aluminum foil. With water, it
cleans the impurities on contact lenses. Rinse completely before wearing
contacts to avoid stinging of the salt in baking soda.
Cleans brushes and combs to prevent residues.
Mix into a paste to clean the surface of an iron.
Use to clean juice, wine, and coffee stains.
Washing a car with it can remove dead bug bodies without damaging the
paint.
Pour 1 cup of baking soda down a drain and follow with 1/2 gallon of White
Vinegar will degrease the drain.
Other uses
Baking soda and boiling water unclogs drains.
It is used as a fabric softener in laundry.
It is used to test garden soil for acidity. If it bubbles, the soil is too acidic.
Sodium bicarbonate has been used as a performance enhancer for sprinters,
by countering build up of lactate through induced metabolic alkalosis.
Sodium Bicarbonate
Uses for Acute Disorders
Research suggests that administering sodium bicarbonate
in intravenous (IV) form can significantly improve pH
and Pco2 in children with life-threatening asthma.
Respiratory distress and level of consciousness both
improved after the administration of sodium bicarbonate164
Sodium Bicarbonate has attractive and potent analgesic qualities. Dr.
Tullio Simoncini recommends that his cancer patients, undergoing his
bicarbonate protocols usually via IV administration, take 1 tsp. of sodium
bicarbonate mixed in water per day, for pain control as well as to assist in
keeping an alkaline internal environment.
We have found this to be significant to relieve unrelenting headaches as
well as pain relief due to physical injury. Within minutes headaches begin
to subside and are often completely gone within 30-60 minutes. "
Sodium bicarbonate can be used orally in doses of 1/2 tsp in 4 oz of
water every two hours for pain relief as well as gastrointestinal upset, not to
exceed 7 doses per day.
"After suffering from a 4 hour long blinding headache for which
nothing I took brought any relief, I tried the sodium bicarbonate, 1
tsp mixed in a glass of water. Within a few short minutes I could
feel the headache abating and within the hour it was completely
relieved! I tried this again when another headache occurred, and it
worked just as miraculously."
After suffering a shoulder injury that caused so much pain after even
a few minutes of computer typing, and with none of the natural pain
relieving methods providing much relief, sodium bicarbonate was suggested
at the 2 hour dosing schedule.
Sodium chloride 0.9%, or sodium bicarbonate are
as effective as any other cerumenolytic ear drop.165
"This is the best pain reliever of all the ones I have been trying. I am
amazed that something so simple would be so potent! I haven't exceeded 7 a
day; but wish I could. It takes the pain away for about 2 hours. Nothing
seems to work more then 2 hours at a time."
General Pharmacology of Bicarbonate
Clinical Pharmacology
The bicarbonate-carbonic acid system constitutes the principal extracellular
buffer. Increasing the bicarbonate concentration buffers excess hydrogen ion
concentration, raises blood pH and reverses the clinical manifestations of
acidosis.
Indications and Usage
Sodium Bicarbonate Injection may be indicated in the treatment of
metabolic acidosis which can occur in severe renal disease, uncontrolled
diabetes, circulatory insufficiency due to shock, anoxia or severe
dehydration, extracorporeal circulation of blood and severe primary lactic
acidosis. Sodium Bicarbonate Injection is further indicated in the treatment
of certain drug intoxications, including barbiturates, in poisoning by
salicylates or methyl alcohol, and in hemolytic reactions requiring
alkalinization of the urine to diminish nephrotoxicity of blood pigments.
Sodium Bicarbonate Injection may also be indicated in severe diarrhea
which is often accompanied by a significant loss of bicarbonate.
Contraindications
Sodium Bicarbonate Injection is contraindicated in patients with metabolic
and respiratory alkalosis and in patients with hypocalcemia in which
alkalosis may produce tetany.
Warnings
Rapid administration of sodium salts may precipitate volume overload and
acute pulmonary edema. Rapid or excessive administration of Sodium
Bicarbonate Injection may produce tetany due to a decrease in ionized
calcium and hypokalemia as potassium reenters the cells. Sodium
containing solutions should be used with great care, if at all, in patients with
congestive heart failure, severe renal insufficiency and in clinical states in
which there exists edema with sodium retention. In patients with diminished
renal function, administration of solutions containing sodium ions may
result in sodium retention. Excessive or too rapid administration of Sodium
Bicarbonate Injection may produce alkalosis. If evidence of alkalosis
develops, symptoms may be readily controlled by rebreathing air from a
paper bag or rebreathing mask or, if more severe, by parenteral injections of
calcium gluconate. Severe alkalosis, inadvertently produced, can be
corrected by intravenous infusion of 2.14% Ammonium Chloride Injection,
USP, except in patients with hepatic disease in whom ammonia
administration is contraindicated. This hypertonic solution may cause vein
damage. Do not use this injection if it contains a precipitate.
Precautions
Correction of acidosis without correction of a potassium deficit may lead to
severe hypokalemia. Coexistent hypocalcemia may be associated with
carpopedal spasm as the plasma pH rises. These dangers can be minimized
if such electrolyte imbalances are appropriately treated prior to or
concomitantly with bicarbonate infusion. Patients losing chloride by
vomiting and/or gastrointestinal intubation are more susceptible to
development of severe alkalosis if given alkalinizing agents. The addition of
calcium to parenteral solutions containing sodium bicarbonate should be
avoided except where compatibility has been previously established.
Precipitation or haze may result from sodium bicarbonate-calcium
admixtures.
Pregnancy: Teratogenic Effects
It is also not known whether Sodium Bicarbonate Injection can cause fetal
harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction
capacity. Sodium Bicarbonate Injection should be given to a pregnant
woman only if clearly needed.
Do not administer unless vacuum is present and solution is clear. Unit
must beused with a vented set or a nonvented set with a vented spike
adapter.
Adverse Reactions
Overdose of sodium bicarbonate may result in a severe degree of alkalosis
which may be accompanied by hyperirritability or tetany. Should alkalosis
result, the bicarbonate should be stopped and the patient managed according
to the degree of alkalosis present. Severe alkalosis may be controlled by
parenteral injections of calcium gluconate or an acidifying agent such as
ammonium chloride. Reactions which may occur because of the solution or
the technique of administration include febrile response, infection at the site
of injection, venous thrombosis or phlebitis extending from the site of
injection, extravasation, and hypervolemia. If an adverse reaction does
occur, discontinue the infusion, evaluate the patient, institute appropriate
therapeutic countermeasures and save the remainder of the fluid for
examination if deemed necessary.
Dosage and Administration
As directed by a physician. Dosage is dependent upon the age, weight and
clinical condition of the patient as well as laboratory determinations. For
mild acidosis, the usual dosage is 1 to 2 mEq per kg of body weight,
administered slowly. For more severe acidosis, 2 to 5 mEq per kg of body
weight may be administered over a 4 to 8 hour period. Subsequent therapy
is dependent on the clinical response of the patient. In emergencies, 300 to
500 mL of the 5% Sodium Bicarbonate Injection should or administered as
rapidly as is possible without over-alkalinizing the patient. Generally, to
avoid over-alkalinizing a patient whose own body mechanisms for
correcting metabolic acidosis may be maximally stimulated, only 1/3 to 1/2
of the calculated dose is administered as rapidly as indicated by the patient’s
cardiovascular and fluid balance status. The serum pH and bicarbonate
concentration should then be re-determined.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter
and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container
permit. Sodium Bicarbonate Injection is intended for intravenous
administration using sterile equipment.

Autism and Fungal Infections
White rot fungi, the only organisms able to biodegrade wood, is so good at
digesting just abut everything that they will be used to biodegrade toxic chemicals.
You are permanently changed from the experience of walking
through an institution and seeing 3,000 children with autism
some tethered to their beds lying in fecal matter as a result
of chronic diarrhea and untreated medical problems.
Autism in Iraq
The recent explosion in autism does run parallel with the increases in
vaccine administration,166 but no one has been paying attention to the
possible emotional collateral effects to what is being done to infants by
modern day pediatricians and obstetricians. Most physicians can hardly
believe that emotions matter in health or disease at all or that they might
contribute significantly to disorders like cancer and heart disease and even
fewer would think that stabbing infants with poison would bother them.
Over the last 30 years increasing evidence has been found for
the existence of complex links between the immune system,
the central nervous system and the endocrine system on
the one hand, and psychological phenomena…on the other.
Van Gent, et al.167
Most doctors are still loath to connect body chemistry with emotions but
neurobiologists know that neural and other biologically measurable changes
accompany Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Chemical/emotional
stress can combine to intensify the toxic effect of mercury. Dr. Haley has
already shown in his laboratory at the University of Kentucky how even
relatively benign substances like Tylenol and endocrine hormones like
testosterone increase mercury’s toxicity, which explains at least partially
why more boys succumb to autism than girls.
Knowing that emotions are chemcials raging through the blood stream,
products of endrocrine function, chemical communications between one part
of the brain and body with others, helps us to understand the importance of
emotions in health and how emotional (chemcial) disruptions can
contribute greatly to any syngistic multiplying damaging effect of toxic
chemicals pumped into children.
Urine samples from hundreds of French children have yielded evidence
for a link between autism and exposure to heavy metals. Richard Lathe of
Pieta Research in Edinburgh, UK, says, "It's highly likely that heavy metals
are responsible for childhood autistic disorder in a majority of cases," he
claims. The study appeared in Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology.
Very little attention being directed toward the diverse mechanisms by
which mycotoxins affect nerve action, cause immunosuppression, and may
contribute as a co-factor in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative
disorders like autism. Mycotoxins are secondary toxic metabolites produced
by many species of fungi that are increasing in processed foods at an
enormous rate. According to the World Health Organization, Alzheimer's,
multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, and cancer can be caused by
mycotoxicosis.
Doctors have consistently found in autism a combination of conditions
including severe intestinal dysbiosis, systemic fungal and viral infections,
mineral deficiencies, abnormal serotonin levels and an abundance of toxic
materials including pesticides other chemicals, mercury and other heavy
metals. Autistic children are suffering from a heavy metal instigated gut and
brain infections that create neurological dysfunctions. A fungal infection in
the body of an expecting mother can become more acute as blood sugar
levels naturally go up. All infections in the mother's blood are passed to her
baby.
Dr. A.V. Constantini from the University of California, School of
Medicine, San Francisco has linked mycotoxicosis to gout, hyperlipidemia,
atherosclerosis, scleroderma, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis,
psoriasis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. According to Constantini,
"The dietary connection to environmental health is increasingly being made
clear in that the causation of the major diseases related to diet are not due to
the food but rather to the fungi and mycotoxins present in the food chain."
Dr. Charles Parker says, “If we do any work ASD, Autism Spectrum
Disorder, we really must know gut physiology. The leaky gut syndrome is
the name given to a very common health disorder in which the basic organic
defect (lesion) is an intestinal lining which is more permeable (porous) than
normal. The abnormally large spaces present between the cells of the gut
wall allow the entry of toxic material into the bloodstream that would, in
healthier circumstances, be repelled and eliminated. The gut becomes leaky
in the sense that bacteria, fungi, parasites and their toxins, undigested
protein, fat and waste normally not absorbed into the bloodstream in the
healthy state, pass through a damaged, hyperpermeable, porous or "leaky
gut." You can be leaky with leaking fecal material into your peritoneal
cavity. Constipation or diarrhea, it doesn't matter, that bowel, the first line
sewage treatment plant, is rusty if not broken.”
When fungi become systemic from gut inflammation and the
overuse of antibiotics, you can see how the whole body--again,
the eyes, liver, gallbladder, muscles and joints, kidneys,
and skin--becomes involved in inflammatory bowel disease.
Dr. Dave Holland
This is why babies are being born today with systemic fungal infection.
When this happens, yeast is in the baby's gut. Studies show that yeast in the
amniotic fluid can paralyze the gut wall, so babies are in turn constipated at
birth. This can be serious because the baby won't have the ability to
eliminate inherited toxins - including metals, like mercury. It is difficult to
decide what comes first the mercury or the fungal infection but these fungal
infections lead to more difficulties with elimination of heavy metals like
lead and mercury. Many children are born at risk for autism because they
lack a healthy inner ecosystem at birth, lack the glutathione which removes
the poisons from the cells.
The number of children in Britain with autism is higher than
previously thought. An unpublished study, carried out by
researchers at Cambridge University's Autism Research Centre,
found that one in 58 children may have some form of the condition.168
Medical scientists at Arizona State University tell us that antibiotic use
is known to almost completely inhibit excretion of mercury in rats due to
alteration of gut flora. Thus, higher use of oral antibiotics in the children
with autism may have reduced their ability to excrete mercury. Higher usage
of oral antibiotics in infancy may also partially explain the high incidence of
chronic gastrointestinal problems in individuals with autism. Many
physicians are unaware of lasting adverse effects caused by routinely
prescribed medications such as antibiotics. Antibiotic therapy for minor
colds and runny noses is a common practice. People routinely receive
multiple courses of broad-spectrum antibiotics throughout life or are
injected with long-acting corticosteroid medicine for joint or muscle pain.
Once established, sub-clinical colonization with yeast in the body may
persist unrecognized for many years. Antibiotics, such as tetracycline, can
greatly increase yeast in the colon after only a few days.
The extensive use of antibiotics will make the condition
of Candida much worse because it reduces heavy metal
excretion, which is a food source for the yeast like organism
and also killing the beneficial bacteria at the same time.
Dr. Elmer Cranton says that, “Yeast overgrowth is partly iatrogenic
(caused by the medical profession) and can be caused by antibiotics and
cortisone medications. A diet high in sugar also promotes overgrowth of
yeast. A highly refined and chemicalized diet now common in industrialized
nations not only promotes growth of yeast, but is also deficient in many of
the essential vitamins and minerals needed by the immune system. Chemical
colorings, flavorings, preservatives, stabilizers, emulsifiers, etc., add more
to stress on the immune system.”
Children with autism had significantly (2.1-fold) higher levels of
mercury in their baby teeth but similar levels of lead and similar
levels of zinc. Children with autism also had significantly higher usage
of oral antibiotics during their first 12 to 36 months of life. 169
Reporting in the July 11, 2007 issue of the Journal of the American
Medical Association, researchers say the use of antibiotics as prevention
boosts risks for drug resistance while doing nothing to shield kids from
future urinary tract infections (UTIs). Giving antibiotics to prevent recurrent
urinary tract infections in small children not only will not help but will hurt
these children. Prior use of antibiotics to prevent infection did boost the
likelihood of developing a drug-resistant infection by nearly 7.5 times.
Indeed, 61 percent of recurrent urinary tract infections were caused by a
pathogen with antibiotic resistance, the researchers pointed out. The
American Academy of Pediatrics hopefully will pay attention to these
findings and begin to push their physicians away from their obsession with
antibiotics.
In 2005 a study the antibiotic Augmentin TM has been implicated in the
formation of autism. The study strongly suggests the possibility of ammonia
poisoning as a result of young children taking Augmentin. Augmentin has
been given to children since the late 1980's for bacterial infections.170
Many physicians seem to be unaware that both pregnancy and birth
control pills comprised of the hormones estrogen and progesterone can also
make the body more susceptible to fungal infections. If antibiotics are
prescribed it acts as a double whammy to ensuring a fungal infection will
take hold by diminishing the protective bacteria in the intestines. Many
pregnant women seek medical treatment for minor problems and are
indiscriminately given antibiotics, since doctors today have little care or
equipment to identify proper causative agents.
Microforms poison us with their waste products.
The waste products are acetylaldehyde, uric
acid, alloxin, alcohols, lactic acid, etc.
Antibiotics may be to blame for hundreds of children developing autism
after having the controversial MMR jab. More than two-thirds of youngsters
with the condition received four or more antibiotics in their first year, a
British survey has revealed. It is thought the drugs weakened their immune
systems, leaving them unable to withstand the impact of the triple jab.
Allopathic medicine has been stubborn and slow to look at the almost
suicidal use of antibiotics. With last-line-of-defence antibiotics failing on
increasingly drug-resistant superbugs and young childrens systems being
destroyed by them you would think they would wake up and find some
alternatives.
One has to wonder if the "sugar cravings" at the beginnings of pregnancy
aren't one way for the fungi to begin their proliferation in even a healthy
host. Fungi thrive in a declining pH which is acidic, therefore requiring us to
eat more pastas, grains, yeast-containing breads, potatoes and especially
high fructose fruits and juices. Mycotoxins of various types, and from
various sources of yeasts and molds that infect the developing embryo, also
cause miscarriage, stillbirths and birth defects. Many are not screened for
by the USDA. An example is the mycotoxin formed by a fusarium mold,
called zearalenone. This mold is used in manufacturing a popular,
vegetarian protein source called "myco-protein, found on the shelves of
most grocery stores.
A healthy inner ecosystem is made up of the friendly microfloras (good
bacteria) that reside in our intestines and keep us healthy and strong. Babies
who lack this inner ecosystem have almost no immunity (since 85% of our
immunity is located in the lymph tissue in the gut). Dr. Kaufmann explains
how antibiotics destroy the normal, protective gut bacteria, allowing
intestinal yeast and fungi to grow unchecked. Gut yeasts make toxins. This
leads to immune suppression, symptoms of autoimmune disease and even
cancer. "If the onset of any symptom or disease- cancer included- was
preceded by a course of antibiotics," Kaufmann maintains, "then look for a
fungus to be at the root of your problem."
Dr. Cranton organizes the substances released by yeast include:
1) Allergens, which react classically, causing symptoms of itching, hives,
skin rashes, nasal congestion, cough, bronchitis, irritable bowel, and
asthma. More than 70 distinct allergic molecules have been found to be
produced by Candida albicans.(4)
2) Fungal poisons (mycotoxins) include aflatoxin, ergot poisoning and
mushroom poisoning. The list ofknown mycotoxins is very long and not
widely recognized.(9) Dr. Iwata, in Japan, has icataloged many toxins
produced by Candida albicans, which poison the nervous and immune
systems.(10) Acetaldehyde (similar to formaldehyde) is also secreted by
Candida albicans and is one potential cause of yeast-related symptoms.(11)
Immune system abnormalities have long been associated with Candida.(12)
Other incurable diseases of unknown cause, presumed immunologic, such
as psoriasis and multiple sclerosis, have been reported to improve,
sometimes dramatically, following anti-fungal therapy.(13-14)
3) Hormonally active molecules are also produced by Candida. Symptoms
related to the female reproductive system, including PMS, cystic breast
disease, infertility, and reduced sex drive, have been reported to improve
following treatment with anti-fungal medications. Those observations are
evidence for interference with normal hormonal function by yeast and
fungus overgrowth.
Most antibiotics kill bacteria and make way for growth of fungus.
However most antibiotics including penicillin, cyclosporin A and
cephalosporin are all manufactured and excreted by fungi. These
mycotoxins are used to treat more than bacterial related illness. They are
also used in cancer-fighting chemotherapy-or as immune suppressing
agents, such as cyclosporin A used to protect a freshly transplanted organ.
However cyclosporin A also causes cancer. “For what its worth, it makes
sense that a fungus whose mission is to invade and destroy would also
excrete a chemical desined to switch off its victims defense systems.
Cyclosporin is a fungal derived drug. It is classified as a mycotoxin in the
mycology literature. Vogt et al. (1990) reported the occurrence of
malignant tumors occurring in 598 renal transplant recipients who were
immunosupressed with cyclosporin. Eighteen of 598 patients receiving
their first renal graft along with cyclosporin treatment between 1981 and
1986 developed a malignancy at a mean interval of 33 months. Escribano-
Patino et al. (1995) reported the occurrence of breast cancer as a
complication of cyclosporin use in their series of kidney transplant
recipients. Penn and First (1986) reported 88 tumors in eighty-seven organ
transplant recipients after the use of cyclosporin. Malignancies appeared an
average of 14 months after the cyclosporin treatment. There was a
surprising frequency of endocrine-related malignancies (ovarian, testicular
and breast) among these malignancies.
This indicates just how sophisticated some species of fungi really are”
states Doug Kaufman171 They include cholesterol reducing drugs like
lovastatin (Mevacor). In some cases mycotoxins manufactured by one
species of fungi work to kill other species of fungi. This is true of Nystatin
(Mycostatin), one of the most effective (though toxic), intestinal antifungals
on the market today. The Council for Agricultral Science and Technology
has said that all mycotoxins—including those used as antibiotics—have the
ability to suppress our immune systems, not just cyclosporine A.
The immune system is the key to both fighting and preventing cancer.
It is a fluid network designed to protect us from agents of disease.
Its primary mission is in resistance and restoration.
The immune system must be exquisitely sensitive in
detecting the surface features of other cells and substances.
A baby's blood-brain barrier isn't formed until 6 weeks after birth. Before
the blood-brain barrier is formed, there is potential for fungus and viral
infections to enter your baby's brain along with Hun Hordes of mercury that
are still injected into many children around the world the day they are born
and given the Hepatitis B vaccine. While a child is supposed to develop
immunity, the immune system is not in place due to the existing fungal and
heavy metal contamination and thus they get clobbered by the MMR
vaccine because the children have no ability to resist the assault from the 3
live viruses in the vaccine. The mercury in the flu vaccine, vaccines in
general, which contain other noxious chemicals and the live viruses in the
MMR leave their mark in brain infections and neurological damage.
Mycotoxins are commonly found in breast milk.172
Systemic fungal infections secrete dangerous toxins and pass through
the open blood-brain barrier so it is really important to vanquish their
hold on our systems. Fungi are masters at producing a wide array of
biologically active substances which serve the producing fungus extremely
well. These biological metabolites are anti-predatory, i.e. territoryprotective, and exist to ensure that the fungus will survive as long as
possible in this quite hostile world. These metabolites are anti-viral, antibacterial. anti-protozoan, anti-insect, anti-animal and, of course, anti-human.
These metabolites are referred to as mycotoxins. The term is derived from
the Greek mykes, meaning fungus, and toxicum, meaning toxin or poison.
Many micro-organisms are practically indestructible though, it is far
easier to help them change their form then annihilate many of them. “Bacilli
literally evolve backwards out of that cycle when you change the biological
terrain. We can control them by retrograding the yeast, fungi and moulds
and their bacteria and neutralize their waste products through
supplementation and diet. You do that by giving up the very foods that you
crave,” says Dr. Robert Young. But this is a partial picture; it’s not up to
date. First we can bash the little blokes, hit them from many sides with
serious punches delivered by sodium bicarbonate, iodine and magnesium
chloride.
We can detoxify and chelate heavy metals in a way that does not inflame
the yeasts thus depriving them of one of the principle things that strengthens
them. We can directly stimulate the immune system and the entire vehicle of
consciousness of a person so their entire being is aligned with the effort to
get well. We can change our pH and let more oxygen into the cells. There
are many things we can do in our war against microbes just as there are in
our parallel war against free radicals, heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Just
so happens when we fight and win one war we more easily resolve the
other.
Dr. Young gives us plenty of reason to include magnesium chloride in
the above when he says, “We have stones because calcium neutralizes
excess acidity and stones are formed. Arthritis also occurs because calcium
is being utilized to neutralize acidity. Sugar is metabolized by microforms,
producing the acid, which is then bound by the calcium and we get calcium
deposits in our joints. We also get calcium deposits in the brain or in the
breast. Calcium deposits always precede the tumour because it is the first
line of defense in neutralizing over-acidification. Osteoporosis is a body
response which occurs if there is not enough dietary calcium. It pulls
calcium from the bones to neutralize the acidity. If we then take more
calcium, as supplements, we get more calcium deposits, we get more stones,
and we end up with breast cancer or prostate cancer.” Magnesium is the
obvious answer not more calcium for magnesium not only controls
magnesium but it will stand in its stead as far as neutralizing acidity.
Magnesium chloride in particular strengthens the immune system.
Antibiotics are mostly derived from fungi and are therefore
classified as mycotoxins. Mycotoxins Are Poisons
Cancer & Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA)
GLA is effective in the treatment of cancer.
The big news in November of 2005, from Northwestern University, is a
study that reveals a valuable means by which an inexpensive herbal
medicine might regulate breast cancer cell growth, metastasis formation and
response to chemotherapies and endocrine therapies. Dr. Ruth Lupu and Dr.
Javier A. Menendez published their research in the Journal of the National
Cancer Institute, and found that treating cancer cell lines with GLA led to
reduced cancer growth.
GLA, a substance in evening primrose oil and Spirulina,
inhibits action of Her-2/neu, a cancer gene that is
responsible for almost 30 percent of all breast cancers.
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an essential fatty acid (EFA) in the
omega-6 family that is found primarily in plant-based oils. EFAs are
essential to human health but cannot be made in the body. For this reason,
they must be obtained from food. EFAs are needed for normal brain
function, growth and development, bone health, stimulation of skin and hair
growth, regulation of metabolism, and maintenance of reproductive
processes. GLA may assist nerve function and help prevent nerve disease
experienced by those with diabetes (called peripheral neuropathy and felt as
numbness, tingling, pain, burning, or lack of sensation in the feet and/or
legs).
Treatments of Her-2/neu–overexpressing cancer cells with GLA
and the anti–Her-2/neu antibody trastuzumab led to synergistic
increases in apoptosis and reduced growth and colony formation.
GLA is also known to help prevent hardening of the arteries, heart
disease, high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis and premenstrual syndrome.
It can relieve the pain of inflammation, enhances the release of sex
hormones testosterone and estrogen and helps to lower cholesterol levels.
The known sources of GLA are mother's milk and oil extracts of evening
primrose oil, black currant and borage seeds. Spirulina is a concentrated
source of GLA, and a 10 gram serving has 235 mg. As a comparison, a daily
dose of 500 mg of evening primrose oil has only 45 mg. GLA comprises
about 20 to 25% of the lipid fraction of spirulina, compared to only 9% for
evening primrose oil.
GLA exerts selective cytotoxic effects on
cancer cells without affecting normal cells.
“Breast cancer patients with Her-2/neu-positive tumors have an
aggressive form of the disease and a poor prognosis,” said Dr. Ruth Lupu,
director of Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Breast Cancer Translational
Research Program, who led the study, published in the Nov. 2 issue of the
Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Lupu is professor of medicine
at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a researcher at
The Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern
University.
The study showed that treating cancer cells that overexpressed Her-2/neu
with GLA not only suppressed protein levels of the oncogene, but also
caused a 30- to 40-fold increased response in breast cancer cells to the drug
HerpetinTM (trastuzumab), a monoclonal antibody that is used for the
treatment of many women with breast cancer. “In our tests, treating the
cancer cell lines with both GLA and Herceptin led to a synergistic increase
in apoptosis [cell death] and reduced cancer growth. Therefore, although
further studies are necessary before GLA can enter clinical trials, these
findings may reveal a previously unrecognized way of influencing the poor
outcome of Her-2/neu-positive cancer patients,” Dr. Lupu said.
GLA exerts selective toxic effects on cancer cells without affecting
normal cells. Dr. Menendez’s earlier research showed that supplementation
with GLA sensitizes breast cancer cells to some chemotherapeutic drugs,
such as paclitaxel (TaxolTM), docetaxel (TaxotereTM) and vinorelbine
NavelbineTM). Lupu and Menendez recently demonstrated that GLA also
enhances the efficacy of anti-estrogens, such as tamoxifen and FaslodexTM.
Preliminary research suggests that GLA may be useful for a wide range
of disorders. A deficiency in essential fatty acids can lead to severe bone
loss and osteoporosis. Studies have shown that supplements of GLA help
maintain or even increase bone mass. Essential fatty acids may also enhance
calcium absorption, increase calcium deposits in bones, diminish calcium
loss in urine, improve bone strength, and enhance bone growth, all of which
may contribute to improved bone mass and, therefore, strength.
Some women find relief of their PMS symptoms when using GLA. The
symptoms that seem to be helped the most are breast tenderness and feelings
of depression as well as irritability and swelling and bloating from fluid
retention. Several early studies suggested that GLA is more beneficial than
placebo at relieving symptoms associated with eczema such as itching,
redness, and scaling.
There is also information that indicates that GLA may diminish joint
pain, swelling, and morning stiffness. GLA may also allow for reduction in
the amount of pain medication used by those with rheumatoid arthritis.
Other research has suggested an improvement in symptoms and behaviors
related to ADHD from omega-3 fatty acids. Results of studies supplying
omega-6 fatty acids in the form of GLA to children with ADHD, however,
have been mixed and, therefore, not conclusive. More research on GLA for
ADHD is needed before conclusions can be drawn.
Cadmium and Cancer
Cadmium is a naturally occurring metal, found in soil, rocks, and water.
It has well known carcinogenic effects, with documented links between
cadmium exposure and lung cancer, lung disease, and kidney damage.
Additional studies have suggested a link to prostate cancer. People are
exposed to cadmium by eating food grown in contaminated soil or fish from
tainted water, but more extreme exposure comes from smoking or
interaction with smelting, welding or shipbuilding. Smoking doubles the
average daily intake of cadmium.
Cadmium is a pervasive environmental pollutant that accumulates in the
human body over time due to its slow half-life. When exposed to low doses
of cadmium, female rats show an increase in mammary gland density and
uterine weight, and changes in the endometrial lining, all telltale
developments in the early onset of breast cancer report researchers from
researchers at the Lombardi Cancer Center at Georgetown University who
studied cadmium and its uncanny ability to mimic estrogen's effects on the
body. "We never expected to see this strong a relationship, given how
different the cadmium and estrogen compounds are," said Mary Beth
Martin, Ph.D., associate professor of oncology at Georgetown University
Medical Center. "Cadmium's ability to functionally mimic estrogen and its
affect on cell growth is quite remarkable. What we saw suggests a direct
link between low dose cadmium exposure and increased risk for breast
cancer." 173
A study authored by Jan Staessen at the University of Leuven in belgium
concluded that there is a significant association between risk of lung cancer
and environmental exposure to Cadmium. Cadmium accumulates in the
body over time, particularly in the kidneys.174
Cadmium can cause the transdifferentiation of pancreatic cells, increases
in the synthesis of pancreatic DNA, and increases in oncogene activation.
Thus, cadmium is a plausible pancreatic carcinogen.175
Natural Vs Synthetic
Vitamins, Minerals and Food
The word synthetic means two things:
- manmade
- occurs nowhere in nature.
Our bodies were designed to absorb nutrients from food.
“Hold the Fritos, and pass the carrots. Most kids today are not eating
what they need for proper growth and general health,” says Dr. Laura
Mason-Scarborough who goes on to quote the September ‘97 Journal of
Pediatrics that said that, only 1% of American children aged 2 to 19 eat
healthy diets. Year by year, with the steady decline in nutritional values,
with the irradiation of food, with the steady buildup of preservatives and
pesticides and GM crops, our natural healthy foods are being lost and our
kids are suffering more from a wide variety of diseases.

Everyone knows in the chelation field and especially in cases where
mercury poisoned autistic kids is concerned that it is crucial to get vital
nutrients into the kids and everyone knows this is very difficult to do when

The Journal of the American Medical association (JAMA) Aug. 8, 1980
stated, "The area of nutrition has been neglected by the medical profession.
Most medical schools devote less than three hours of total instruction to
nutritional deficiencies and therapy. In short, physicians in the United States
are not required to have any understanding of nutrition to be licensed to
practice medicine.”176
Vitamins are inexpensive gene therapy to
help our genes function at their best.177
Jack Challem
Chellem, in his new book Feed Your Genes Right (John Wiley & Sons,
March 2005) maintains that though we have inherited our genes from our
parents we don't have to be at their mercy. His main theory is that certain
vitamins and foods enable our genes to function at their best. We cannot
change our genes but proper nutritional environments help our genes to
work better. "Our bodies need B vitamins and other nutrients to make,
repair, and regulate our DNA and genes," Challem says.
One of the greatest reasons to use a super food like spirulina is that it
injects almost everything the human body needs to survive and some people
have fasted on it for months at a time; a process which totally detoxifies the
body. For the sake of our discussion here let us choose the one nutritional
element that spirulina does not provide at all, Vitamin C. All detoxification
and chelation protocols today include supplementation with vitamin C. Dr.
E. Calabrese reported in 1985 on the effects of vitamin C on a group of 24
pesticides, heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and gaseous pollutants, noting that
vitamin C reduced the toxicity of the vast majority of these agents.178
Below are two pictures, one of ascorbic acid and another a natural vitamin
C that is also available in supplement form.
An excellent example of the difference between whole food and
synthetic supplements is vitamin C. The majority of books and magazines
on the subject of nutrition refer to vitamin C as ascorbic acid. These terms
are used interchangeably. However, vitamin C is not only ascorbic acid.
Ascorbic acid is the outer skin of vitamin C, much like the skin of an
orange. Vitamin C also contains bioflavonoid complexes, tyrosinase, and
several other factors.
Most vitamins and supplements sold in the U.S. that are advertised
as natural are actually synthetic chemical concoctions that
contain coal tars, preservatives, artificial colorings
and a vast range of other potentially harmful additives.
What do you get from a bottle of vitamin C? Ascorbic acid, just a part
of vitamin C, manufactured from super-refined corn sugar. Ascorbic acid
does have strong effects on the body but is more of a drug than a nutrient.
Because your body needs all parts of a vitamin to function, it will leech
the other necessary cofactors from itself in order to use the ascorbic acid.
This puts a lot of extra stress on your body, according to Dennis Nelson,
in his book, Maximizing Nutrition.
We have the appearance of the difference between white sugar and a
dark brown sugar that still has some of the nutritional value of sugar cane
left in. Few people today doubt the need for much larger doses of vitamin C
yet hardly anyone looks into the difference between a synthetic vitamin C
(ascorbic acid) and a naturally sourced vitamin C product.
Our indoctrination into the synthetics mythology has deep
roots in an awestruck fealty to science and technology,
whose powers have simultaneously blessed us and blinded us.
According to Dr. Tim O'Shea, ascorbic acid is not vitamin C, and he is
correct, though everyone thinks its perfectly ok to flood the body with
ascorbic acid produced by Hoffman-LaRoche, one of the world's biggest
drug manufacturers. Over 90% of ascorbic acid in the United States comes
from Nutley, New Jersey, owned by LaRoche, a major pharmaceutical
company which practices medical deception and terrorism, like all the rest.
Ascorbic acid is not vitamin C.

The Functional Architecture
of Vitamin C Complex
Ascorbic acid only a portion of the natural Vitamin C Complex. Real
vitamin C is a combination of nutritive factors found in the whole Vitamin
C complex as is found in nature. Ascorbic acid is the outer skin of vitamin
C, much like the skin of an orange. Natural vitamin C also contains
bioflavonoid complexes, tyrosinase, and several other factors including
these very important P, J and K Factors.
Concentrations of vitamin C in blood plasma are
six times greater when given intravenously over oral doses.
Ascorbic acid does have strong effects on the body but is more of a drug
than a nutrient because it draws down other nutrients as drugs do. Our body
needs all parts of a vitamin to function and will leech the other necessary
cofactors from itself in order to use the ascorbic acid. This puts a lot of extra
stress on your body, according to Dennis Nelson, in his book, Maximizing
Nutrition. Though ascorbic acid by itself is an effective anti oxidant it by
itself is not a healer and worse, like white sugar, will draw off essential
nutrients in the body to complete itself. In a letter to the editor of Nature,
July 14, 1936, p. 27, Nobel Prize winner and discoverer of ascorbic acid Dr.
Szent-Gyorgyi.wrote that “when it comes to anti-scurvy and antihemorrhagic effects, there are "other substances of similar importance and
activity that accompany ascorbic acid." When Szent-Gyorgyi tried to cure
scurvy and other bleeding conditions, he found that "with pure ascorbic
acid, we obtained no response. Yet when red pepper or lemon or lime juice
was used, the condition was readily cured." The reason for this is simple, the
nutritive portions of vitamin C do the curing and healing, ascorbic acid
simply performs the antioxidant function.
Vitamins cannot be isolated from their complexes and still
perform their specific life functions within the cells. When
isolated into artificial commercial forms, like ascorbic acid,
these purified synthetics act as drugs in the body. They
are no longer vitamins, and to call them such is inaccurate.
Dr. Tim O'Shea
When it comes to the controvercy over ascorbic acid vs complete vitamin
C it must be recognized that ascorbic acid alone does pack an important
medicinal punch and is used with great success as a medicine by many
doctors. Many doctors have cured diseases with mega doses of ascorbic
acid. Richard T. Lee, MD, and his colleagues at the Harvard Medical
School, tested 880 chemical compounds for their effect on embryonic stem
cells derived from mice.179 The stem cells were pretreated so that they
would emit a green color if they grew into heart muscle cells. Of all 880
compounds, which are approved for use in people, only one promoted
activity in the stem cells, and that was vitamin C. In the experiment, Lee and
his colleagues treated embryonic stem cells with vitamin C for 12 days.
During this time, large numbers of the stem cells began transforming into
heart muscle cells called myocytes. The cells even began to beat
rhythmically, as normal heart cells do. In addition, vitamin C prompted the
expression, or activation, of several cardiac genes, which would have further
directed the behavior of the heart cells.
At the proper (high) dosage vitamin C lowers Lp(a),180
and it promotes the natural production of ubiquinone (CoQ10)

Retinal photograph taken in 2002 (left) reveals artery disease (vessel
narrowing, drop out of some vessels). Retinal photo (right) taken in 2004
after daily vitamin C supplementation confirms pericorneal arteries have
widened and some reappear. The pericorneal arterioles and capillaries can
be divided into ten degrees of scurvy allowing the accurate prediction to
patients of how much or little vitamin C they have been eating. The highest
mark anybody has had is 94%
More than 3,000 synthetic chemicals are regularly added
to U.S. food products and hardly any have been tested for their
synergistic (interactive) toxin producing effects in the human body.
Vast sums of money have been expended to make the myths that
ascorbic acid is as effective as Vitamin C in its natural form. It’s the same
money that has convinced the world’s populations that vaccine is essential
for life and health. Dr. O'Shea says, “Vitamins are not individual molecular
compounds. Vitamins are biological complexes. They are multi-step
biochemical interactions whose action is dependent upon a number of
variables within the biological terrain. Vitamin activity only takes place
when all conditions are met within that environment, and when all cofactors and components of the entire vitamin complex are present and
working together. Vitamin activity is even more than the sum of all those
parts; it also involves timing.” Synthetic vitamins replicate only one of
perhaps dozens of beneficial nutrients. It’s somewhat like imitating one
ingredient that is contained in an apple. You miss all of the related nutrients
that work synergistically. Some vitamins only work well as part of a team leave out any of the players and the whole group becomes ineffective.
Adults who regularly take vitamin C pills providing greater
than 700 milligrams per day will experience a 25% drop in their
risk for coronary heart disease, the nation’s number one killer. 181
In Judith DeCava’s book, The Real Truth about Vitamins and
Antioxidants, she defines a vitamin as “a complex mechanism of functional,
interrelated, interdependent components. A vitamin consists of, not only the
organic nutrient(s) identified as the vitamin, but also enzymes, coenzymes,
antioxidants and trace element activators.” A vitamin complex is not simply
an individual chemical or several chemicals. It must contain all factors that
make up the vitamin in its entirety. Just like a car is not four tires, nor a
wheel, nor an engine, but rather it is a “car” when all parts are complete and
working together. Thus synthetic supplement pills are inherently
unbalanced biochemistry. Ascorbic acid supplements ignore the fact that
real vitamin C is a balance of almost 150 anti-carcinogens, redox agents,
and other phytochemicals present in each fruit and vegetable. Foods contain
innumerable substances, some still unknown, that produce a combined
effect to which a single ingredient cannot compare.
The point of view that says that vitamin parts can be synthesized, in high
concentrates (high potency) is the principle followed by most supplement
manufacturers, the majority of which are pharmaceutical companies. These
vitamins are termed “synthetic” though are most often labeled “natural”
even if they come from sugar or coal tar.
“Synthetic vitamin fractions are mirror image duplicates (enantiomers) of
only a portion of the real, biologically-active, and physiologically-precise
nutritional complexes. They may be identical in chemical characteristics,
but differ from one another in their structure or configuration; they are
mirror-image molecules - opposite "twins" - which act and react in different
ways,”182 said Dr. Jordan Rubin.
Dr. Rubin goes on to say, “The problem with processed foods is similar
to the problem with synthetic, isolated supplements - they lack "wholeness"
and cannot reach the potency level of whole foods or whole food nutritional
supplements. They simply are not intrinsically equipped to do so. A vitamin
is a complex mechanism of biological, functional, interrelated,
interdependent components. It consists of not only the organic nutrients
identified as the vitamin, but also enzymes, coenzymes, antioxidants, and
trace element activators. Since enzymes are proteins, they must contain
amino acids and trace minerals. Enzyme activators may include trace
elements such as manganese, cobalt, zinc, copper, molybdenum, selenium,
vanadium, etc. These components are effective only when left in the proper
organic state. Nutritional supplements, then, should not be individual
chemicals or combined chemicals. Supplements must be food concentrates intact, integrated, with their vitamin complexes incorporated - in order to
retain their functional and nutritional integrity. Altering the natural state of
food concentrates will literally take the "life" out them - leaving them
"dead" -as a synthetic, isolated, adulterated supplement. Live, natural
complexes usually exist as enzymes or coenzymes; they contain live
vitamins, organic minerals, and other vital, functional, elements organized
by the sun, rain, water, soil's nutrients, and living bacteria. Heat,
pasteurization, and steam sterilization destroy enzymes and enzyme
activators; supplements produced utilizing any of these procedures are not
vitamin complexes. Hence, the synthetic vitamin, once separated from its
protein component, biologically loses its function. Chemically-pure,
isolated, synthetic vitamins are devoid of all their synergists - the factors
which enable biochemical operation and action.”
There is a difference between something that is alive and something that
is dead. Live foods have a life force, an extra essence that is more than the
sum of its chemical parts. Spirulina, chlorella, Bee Pollen, brewers yeast,
sesame seeds, alfalfa sprouts, bean sprouts, fruits and organic vegetables all
have potent life forces penetrating the nutrients they carry that synthetic
vitamins and minerals simply don’t have. This is not to say that synthetic
minerals and vitamins are without any value, but the difference is
significant. Life responds to life and when we want to recover our children
from disease everything counts.
The most excellent Vitamin C product the IMVA endorces, is Megafood
Vitamin C. There is no ascorbate acid in Megafood C.183 It is one of the
only products in the natural products industry to grow or activate nutrients
into an actual food state. For example, instead of using corn syrup they use
nutrient activated whole citrus extract containing 1,000 phytonutrients and
bioflavonoids that our body’s needs on a daily basis, not just the isolated
constituent ascorbic acid. New Chapter is another fine company that
produces whole food vitamins.
In a side by side by side study184 compares the bioavailability of
synthetic ascorbic acid (ascorbic acid) and FoodState™ vitamin C in
humans, the effect of a single 500mg ascorbic acid dose of the two forms
and a placebo on plasma concentration vs. time curve showed that
FoodState™ vitamin C was 35% more absorbed and was more gradually
absorbed than ascorbic acid alone. The majority of the subjects (75%) in this
study excreted less vitamin C when they consumed FoodState ™ vitamin C,
whereas, the ones who consumed ascorbic acid alone excreted more
ascorbic acid, indicating that less was absorbed by the subjects.
Vitamin C is actively transported from the serum compartment to the
cellular compartment; Citrus Bioflavonoids present MegaFood C are myriad
in structure, biologically active and most likely differentially absorbed and
utilized. In this study ascorbate achieved peak plasma levels at 4.1 hours
relative to synthetic ascorbic acid 2.9 hours. This study by Vincent and Bose
is only measuring ascorbic acid levels and not the entire biological effect of
the body receiving a live vitamin complex in its natural form.
Mike Adams a popular medical and health writer says, “Synthetic
vitamins simply can't compare with these micro-algae when it comes to
superior nutrition. Chlorella and spirulina are superior to isolated vitamins
and minerals. In fact, when you consume chlorella and spirulina on a daily
basis, you can throw out your vitamins and minerals. There's simply no need
to take isolated, individual vitamin and mineral supplements. Many of them,
especially the cheaper brands, are made from entirely "unnatural" sources in
the first place and are of questionable nutritional value. If you really want to
consume vitamins the way nature intended, you've got to eat them as they
are found in nature, which means consuming chlorella and spirulina on a
regular basis.”]
At least 70 percent of the processed foods in your local
grocery store contain at least one genetically engineered
ingredient that has never been tested for its potential harm.
Gifts from Mother Earth can be combined to do things that no artificial
supplement can. Vitamins and minerals in foods are bound to natural food
complexes with proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. Synthetic combinations
of isolated USP vitamins and minerals just cannot compete with the easy
absorbability of Spirulina, and taking supplements in mega doses is really
just an attempt to overcome absorption problems.
Spirulina provides (for each 3 grams consumed) 1.64 mgs of Iron,
12.8 mg of Magnesium, 90 mcg of zinc and 33 mcg of copper.
We cannot benefit from minerals unless we can absorb them. The absorption
of minerals takes place primarily within the small intestines. As food matter passes
through the intestines, minerals transfer into the blood stream through the walls of
the intestines. This can only happen if the minerals are ionically charged. Although
stomach acid helps ionize the minerals in foods, a mineral supplement should
contain already naturally ionized minerals to be fully absorbed. It’s pathetic what
the large food companies do when they fortify children’s foods. I recently watched
a doctor who made a video of mixing fortified cornflakes with water; he put the mix
in a plastic bag with a magnet, which was easily and rapidly able to pull out all the
iron fillings from the cereal, proving that what is in the cereal is not digestible iron.
Feeding tests rank proteins by Net Protein Utilization (NPU) value,
determined by amino acid quality, digestibility (proportion absorbed by the
intestines) and biological value (proportion retained by the body). Dried
eggs (94) have the highest value, followed by milk (70-82), fish (80) and
meat (67). Spirulina (62) is similar to grains and has a higher NPU than
nuts. By multiplying protein quantity by the NPU, we can determine the
usable protein as a percentage of the food's composition. Spirulina is
second only to dried eggs.
Spirulina has the ability to lock many minerals into amino acids.
By doing this, when we consume Spirulina, we receive the minerals
in a form which our body can readily utilize.
Spirulina enhanced with selenium is a good example and demonstrates
how minerals bonded to amino acids are more effective than stand-alone
pharmaceutical mineral preparations. Several studies have shown that
organic selenium can be almost totally absorbed by the body whereas the
inorganic type is variable, generally over 50%. Organic selenium is
selenium that is incorporated in amino acids such as methionin (selenomethionin) or cystein (seleno-cystein). The body thus recognises the
selenium as amino acids and since amino acids are almost totally absorbed
by the body, it means that the organic selenium is also absorbed in a
camouflaged fashion.
Bioavailability requires solubility, absorption, and eventual metabolism
by the body. Bioavailability is a very important concept and gauges the
extent to which an administered substance reaches its site of action or
utilization in the body. Bioavailability is thus a measure of the efficiency of
delivery - how much of what is ingested is actually used for its intended
purpose.
What this means is that as long as amino acids are coupled together with
other molecules, they cannot be used to “turn on” and “turn off” the body’s
switches. Amino acids must be found alone, unattached to other substances,
in what we call “free form” (singlets) in order to be useful to the body. Yet
another form of amino acids, which is easily used by the body, is that which
herbal extracts often offer, namely amino acids in their short-chained form
of 2-10 amino acids chained together. Yet all metabolic processes especially
need the “free form,” unattached and uncoupled, amino acids, not protein, to
function correctly. Protein has to be broken down completely to be of any
value to the body’s metabolic needs.
The minerals don't diffuse around the body; they are moved
actively by cell surface pumping proteins and other means.
Dr. Andrew Hall Cutler
Estimates are that the zinc from spirulina is at least twice as effective as a
zinc supplement in curing a deficiency of the same in children. The effective
dose of zinc from spirulina was 2 to 4 times less than the zinc from a
common supplement, zinc sulfate. More than twice as many children were
cured with high zinc spirulina than they were from standard supplements in
a study of one hundred children who were diagnosed as suffering from zinc
deficiency. For a three-month period, 50 children were given zinc sulfate
and 50 were given spirulina tablets. Doctors concluded that spirulina had an
effect that was much better than zinc sulfate. Spirulina had no side effects
and was easy to administer for long periods of time.
Synthetic vs. Natural Lipoic Acid
Natural alpha-lipoic acid, or R-lipoic acid, is present in exceedingly tiny
amounts in, and tightly bound to, mitochondrial complexes in animal and
plant tissues. Because of the extreme difficulty and high cost of isolating
natural R-lipoic acid, early studies were conducted with synthetic alphalipoic acid. “S(-) lipoic acid” is a purely artificial molecule: it does not exist
in nature but is produced as a byproduct in the normal method of producing
commercial lipoic acid. Unlike R-lipoic acid, synthetic lipoic acid usually
comprises a fifty-fifty mixture of two forms of alpha-lipoic acid: R-lipoic
acid and S-lipoic acid. The R- and S- forms of alpha-lipoic acid are
isomers—identical chemical structures, with the three-dimensional atomic
arrangements reversed to form mirror images of each other.
Initial studies with synthetic alpha-lipoic acid helped scientists to
understand its antioxidant-recycling and energy-production properties.
When pure samples of the natural R- form of lipoic acid version became
available, however, researchers quickly discovered that the body has a
strong preference for R-lipoic acid. The natural R- form was shown to
increase membrane fluidity and transport, the synthetic form was far less
effective in doing so.13
Continuing experimentation revealed that R-lipoic acid is more
biologically active and offers greater antioxidant and neuroprotective
benefits at substantially lower doses than the synthetic forms of lipoic acid.
Data has showed that R-lipoic acid was more effective in maintaining
glutathione levels and protecting eyes from damage. A study in a short-lived
strain of mouse demonstrated that R(+)-lipoic acid can dramatically increase
its lifespan. Neither S(-)-lipoic acid, nor the racemate, had this power
Studies have also shown that lipoic acid plays a significant role in
insulin metabolism in the body, reducing the amount of insulin needed for
glucose uptake by the muscles Controlled trials prove that even racemic
(R,S combined in supplements)-lipoic acid helps people become more
sensitive to insulin - that is, less insulin resistant. But research shows that
only the R(+)-Lipoic Acid half of conventional "lipoic acid" supplements
makes the body's cells more responsive to insulin. In fact, the S(-)- form
actually makes it harder for your body to healthily process blood sugar.
Compared to animals which ate an unsupplemented diet, the muscle cells
of animals which were given pure R(+)-Lipoic Acid were able to take up
34% more blood sugar in response to insulin, or 65% more than they did
under basal (non-insulin-stimulated) conditionsconditions. By contrast,
feeding animals the same amount of "lipoic acid" in the artificial S(-)-form
had no effect on the animals' ability to clear blood sugar. The response to
insulin was also improved by R(+)-, but not S(-)-, lipoic acid, including a
33% restoration in the ability to burn glucose for fuel and a 26% increase in
the formation of glycogen, the long-chain molecules used to store
carbohydrates for quick use by the liver and muscles. Insulin levels in
animals that were supplemented with R(+)-Lipoic Acid were pushed down
by 17%, proving that the vicious circle of insulin resistance was being put
into reverse. By contrast, S(-) lipoic acid actually caused insulin levels to
soar 15% higher. 21Another clear sign that the animals were made less
insulin resistant was the fact that animals given R(+)-Lipoic Acid
experienced reductions of free fatty acids of greater than a third - an
extremely important result, granted the role of increased free fatty acids in
causing the high blood pressure 14 and killer cholesterol profile 13 seen in
"Syndrome X," 12 and their place as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease
14 and sudden death. 16 It was a different story in the other group: free fatty
acids in animals fed S(-)-lipoic acid showed no significant change.
In short, studies have shown that when you take a racemic mixture of
R(+)- and S(-)-enantiomers found in conventional "lipoic acid"
supplements, R(+)-Lipoic Acid improves insulin resistance, while the S(-)form actually makes it worse. R(+)-lipoic acid, in other words, is not just
fighting against insulin resistance: it's fighting against the "evil twin"
present in most commercial supplements. Getting rid of the "fifth column"
in your supplement frees up the full potential of R(+)-lipoic acid, allowing
its full strength to be unleashed in the battle to restore healthy sugar
metabolism. There are many cases in which the S(-)-enantiomer actually
counteracts the benefits of R(+)-lipoic acid. Common "lipoic acid"
supplements are thus like a house at war with itself. The S(-)-form should be
removed from supplements in favor of pure R(+)-lipoic acid REF:

years ago, when iodine consumption was twice as high as it is now (480 µg
a day) 1 in 20 women developed breast cancer. Iodine was used as a dough
conditioner in making bread, and each slice of bread contained 0.14 mg of
iodine. In 1980, bread makers started using bromide as a conditioner
instead, which competes with iodine for absorption into the thyroid gland
and other tissues in the body. Iodine was also more widely used in the dairy
industry 30 years ago than it is now.”
It just happens to turn out that breast, skin,
immune system, ovaries, prostate gland and brain
need more iodine than most of us receive in our diets.
This chapter is crucially important for women because there is plenty of
evidence that women would have a lower incidence of cancer and
fibrocystic disease of the breast if they consumed more iodine and other
minerals like magnesium, selenium and zinc. A decrease in iodine intake
coupled with an increased consumption of competing halogens, fluoride and
bromide, has created an epidemic of iodine deficiency in America and this
seems to be leading to skyrocketing rates of breast cancer. It makes total
sense that iodine, one of the nutrients that when deficient leads to breast
cancer, would also cure it.
Dr. Brice E. Vickery said, “I have seen that a couple of mgs, of iodine
daily will cure iodine deficiency in the person with adequate gut absorption
powers. This will allow them to utilize their proteins; however it will not
mean that they have full body iodine sufficiency (iodine receptors) in tissues
such as breast, uterus, prostate, skin, saliva glands, stomach, colon, choroid
plexus, and eye. It will also not assure that a thyroid whose receptor space is
taken up with another halogen, such as bromine or fluorine, will have a full
sufficiency of iodine for hormone production.”
The ductal cells in the breast, the ones most likely to become cancerous, are
equipped with an iodine pump (the sodium iodine symporter, the
same one that the thyroid gland has) to soak up this element.185
Dr. Donald Miller
Thus we should not be surprised when oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini
states, “Every tumour of the skin can be completely removed with Iodine
Tincture 7%, brushed many times (10-20) once a day. When the crust is
formed, don’t take it away, but treat the area continuously and wait until it
falls without any other intervention except the Iodine tincture. When the
crust falls down the third time, the patient is healed.”
One of the principle reasons iodine is so effective for skin cancer is that,
according to Dr. Simoncini, skins cancers are caused by Candida fungus
which has adapted itself to metabolising the most proteinaceous constituents
of the epidermis and that therefore only rarely can it be treated with sodium
bicarbonate solutions. “For epithileomas, basaliomas and melanomas, the
treatment to choose is iodine solution at seven per cent, as it is capable of
precipitating the proteins of the body of the fungus and destroying them
completely in a short time. If the lesions are fairly small, they must be
painted with the solution 10-20-30 times twice a day for five days and then
once for another ten days so that they become very dark. When the eschar is
formed and it is higher than the epidermic plane, it is necessary to continue
to paint under and above it, even if at first a strong pain is sensed.”
“This very same operation must be repeated for the second eschar that is
formed. At this point, the lesion may be considered destroyed, because after
the third cycle it is possible to reach the centre of the neoplasia, where the
colonies try to resist to the last.”
In the case of breast cancer especially Dr. Simoncini says, “In the
presence of a tumor of large dimensions, before performing the treatment
with iodine solution, it is necessary to perform a cycle of subcutaneous
infiltrations with sodium bicarbonate at five per cent under the lesion
for the purpose of liberating the tissue from the possible invasion of the
deep planes and of the basal lamina. If this is not done, we risk that the
fungus, once destroyed at a superficial level, will defend itself by
trespassing into those levels where a conclusive action of the iodine solution
is impossible.”

“In cases where the tumor has invaded a coetaneous-mucous transitional
zone like the anus, eyelids, vagina or mouth, it is necessary to perform a
preliminary treatment of the mucous area with bicarbonate and then, after
the elimination of the colonies existing there, proceed to treat the cutis with
iodine solution.”
“It is appropriate to highlight that the same type of therapy is to be
applied also to psoriasis and to the known fungi afflictions. In fact, the
difference between coetaneous mycosis, psoriases and tumors consists only
of a variation of aggressiveness and thus of depth of rooting, since the
causal agent is always the same: a fungus. Sometimes for the therapy, other
corrosive salts can be used in function of the location in the body. What is
certain is that dermal ointments and lotions are effective only rarely.”
Most importantly Dr. Simoncini has indicated that with iodine treatments
for skin cancers that one should NEVER disturb or pick or scrape off the
scab that forms over the spot treated, that doing so will spread the fungus,
the scab MUST be allowed to fall off all on its own, even if only hanging by
a thread.
Iodine is an antiseptic and can be used to kill bacteria and fungi.
Iodine used topically as a douche is effective against a wide
range of organisms including candida and chlamydia.
Iodine is an exceptionally powerful healing agent with extraordinary
powers that can be applied in the direst of medical circumstances. But today
its usage as a universal medicine has been obscured except by a few brave
physicians that are working desperately to bring it back to the forefront of
public awareness. Iodine has a long illustrious history as the following story
presented by Dr. Derry illustrates. It is the most legendary of
documentations of iodine skin therapy to a famous person occurred in the
American Civil War:
"On September 29, 1862, Colonel John B. Gordon held the center of
General Lee's army at the battle of Antietam, or Sharpsburg. The first volley
from the northern lines sent a ball through the calf of Gordon's right leg;
soon after, another went through the muscles of his thigh; a third pierced his
left arm, tearing asunder the tendons and mangling the flesh; a forth ripped
through his shoulder leaving a wad of clothing embedded in its track. Still,
no bones were broken; but, while Gordon lingered in the firing line, "with",
as he says himself, "but little of my usual strength", a fifth ball struck him
squarely in the face.”
“Dr. Weatherly of the 6th Alabama Regiment, in charge of medical
arrangements, had the Colonel removed to a base hospital, and prescribed
tincture of iodine to be painted on the wounds three or four times a day. The
case was unpromising. Gordon's eyelids were greatly swollen; one eye was
completely closed, the other almost so; his jaw was immovably clenched,
and, to make matters worse, erysipelas (staphylococcus infection of skin)
had set in on the left arm.”
“Mrs. Gordon, his wife, who nursed him - her name was Fanny, and she
was then a beautiful girl of 25 - put a liberal interpretation on her
instructions and painted the wounds, not three or four times a day, but, as
Gordon himself says: "I think three to four hundred times a day."
Fanny's diligence and devotion were rewarded. Her husband survived,
outlived the war, and became the Governor of Georgia, a General, and
Commander-in-Chief of the United Confederate Veterans. He died in 1904."
Is the application of iodine to the skin an acceptable way to supplement
iodine? Dr. Abraham writes, “The bioavailability of iodine applied to the
skin is well known. Over 100 years ago, application of iodine to the skin
was used extensively for iodine supplementation. In 1932, Nyiri and Jannitti
from the College of Pharmacy of Rutgers University wrote, "Iodine is being
used extensively as a prophylactic and therapeutic agent by application to
the outer integument, (the skin) and has maintained its place in medicine for
many decades."186
I had a severe sore throat recently (I could not even swallow) and
my good friend suggested painting the inside of my wrist with iodine.
I thought she was crazy. But it worked! The pain was completely gone
the next morning. Shortly thereafter my son became sick with a
bad cold. Although she recommended the iodine for a sore throat,
I used it on my 3-year old and the next day he was 100% better.187
Survival Medicine suggests that iodine be used in all cancer treatments
as a systemic medicine, not just topically for breast cancer, and as we shall
see far below, also in the treatment of diabetes. For many of the same
reasons iodine is effective for skin cancers it would be effective in helping
combat cancers of all types. Survival Medicine is absolutely against
narrow approaches to the treatment of any disease as the case of
fibrocystic breast disease illustrates.
From my women patients, I learned that fibrocystic breasts were most often
a sign of estrogen dominance; relatively high estrogen and low
progesterone. In my experience, using natural progesterone routinely
solves the problem. I also recommend adding vitamin E in dosages of 600
IU at bedtime, supplemental magnesium (300 milligrams a day), and
vitamin B6 (50 milligrams per day). I cannot recall a case in which the
result was not positive.188
Dr. John Lee
The incidence of fibrocystic breast disease in American women was 3
percent in the 1920s. Today, a minimum of 30 percent of women have this
disorder, manifested by epithelial hyperplasia, apocrine gland metaplasia,
fluid-filled cysts, and fibrosis. Dr. Miller puts the percentage as high as
ninety percent. A minimum of six million American women with fibrocystic
disease are thought to have moderate to severe breast pain and tenderness
that lasts more than 6 days during the menstrual cycle. Fibrocystic breast
disease, a benign (non-cancerous) condition characterized by round lumps
that move freely within the breast tissue. These lumps are usually tender to
the touch. In contrast, a cancerous growth in the breast is often not tender or
freely movable when touched.
Though oral magnesium supplementation is recommended by many for
the treatment of fibroid disorders no one has thought of applying
magnesium transdermally to the breasts or to the skin to either treat or
prevent such cancers from occurring. A personal friend of mine had severe
fibroid disease in her breasts and I suggested that she apply what is knows
as Magnesium Oil (natural magnesium chloride solution) to her breasts. A
month later she called me and said her problem resolved completely.
Tim Wilson, the president of Science Formulas, which makes Chelorex,
which I consider to be the best natural chelation formula on the market, has
used the Magnesium Oil on his skin cancer and has recommended it to
others because it resolved his skin cancer and he has seen it do the same in
everyone he has recommended it to. Iodine applied via the vagina has been
said to soften the breasts in minutes so iodine and magnesium chloride
applied together through transdermal means would be the perfect duo in our
fight against both breast and skin cancer. With the addition of the sodium
bicarbonate treatments of Dr. Simoncini we have what could be considered
the holy trinity in skin and breast cancer treatments.
When it comes to breast cancer, even before one considers injecting
bicarbonate into the deeper tissues, one should immediately begin painting
the breasts once a day with iodine as Dr. Simoncini suggests. At the other
end of the day or after the iodine penetrates into the tissues, apply a natural
magnesium chloride solution and leave on for at least forty minutes. This
can be done twice a day and then one can take an intense bath in sodium
bicarbonate, take it orally several times a day, or even apply it directly to the
tissues and surrounding areas like the underarms. Sodium bicarbonate
makes an excellent deodorant and the use of all toxic beauty products
should be discontinued! For such conditions one should never forget the
healing power of clays and poultices that can be applied, which will suck
toxins right out of the skin. Pure clay offers the healing power of mother
earth and has a powerful drawing power on the impure. (See chapter Science of
the Pure.)
A malfunctioning thyroid gland may be a precursor to many
disorders in females. With hypothyroidism, hormones such as LH,
FSH, and prolactin may be overly stimulated. Researchers have
linked breast abnormalities, including FBD, to repeated hormonal
arousal (Lark 1996). An early study of 19 women with breast pain
(mastodynia) and nodularity caused by FBD reported that almost
half (47%) the women had total relief after daily treatment with 0.1
mg of levothyroxine (Synthroid). Three patients had elevated serum
prolactin levels. Their prolactin levels became normal and they
experienced dramatic pain relief after treatment with levothyroxine
(Estes 1981).
A review of three clinical studies using sodium iodide, protein-bound
iodide, and molecular iodine showed clinical improvements in FBD
of 70%, 40%, and 72%, respectively (Ghent et al. 1993). The review
concluded that molecular iodine was non-thyrotropic (did not alter)
and was the most beneficial. Thus, some suggest that treating
thyroid problems might reduce the risk or incidence of FBD and
improve the symptoms (Ghent et al. 1993).
Another study looked at thyroid hormones and FBD. The data
suggested that free T3 had an important role in the physiology of
FBD (Martinez et al. 1995). To further examine this theory, a study
looked at the levels of triiodothyroxine (T3), thyroxin (T4), thyroid
stimulating hormone (TSH), and prolactin (Prl) in FBD (Zych et al.
1996). The authors found that the T4 levels were significantly lower
in women with FBD than in controls. They concluded that there
seemed to be a connection between FBD and thyroid function (Zych
et al. 1996).189
Transdermal Iodine
The best iodine for transdermal use is the seven percent iodine but as of
August 1, 2007 it is now a controlled substance regulated by the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) under the chemical regulatory
provisions of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The DEA believes that
this action is necessary to remove deficiencies in the existing regulatory
controls, which have been exploited by drug traffickers who divert iodine
(in the form of iodine crystals and iodine tincture) for the illicit production
of methamphetamine in clandestine drug laboratories.
The American government will control strong iodine tinctures/solutions
(e.g., 7 percent iodine) that they see as not having common household uses
and instead have limited application in livestock, horses, and for
disinfection of equipment only! Persons handling regulated iodine materials
are required to register with DEA, are subject to the import/export
notification requirements of the CSA, and are required to maintain records
of all regulated transactions involving iodine regardless of size. Few
distributors will carry the seven percent solution because everyone who
buys it will need to be tracked, records kept, iodine kept in safes etc.
Luckily an aerospace engineer named John Brookshire in Texas has
registered with the DEA and will be glad to provide everyone with both 1
percent and 7 percent solutions of iodine in its atomic form. Both belong in
every medicine cabinet. (See below for more information on this special form.)
Iodine is a well known topical germicidal agent effective against a wide
spectrum of organisms including bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Iodine is
normally available as solutions, alcoholic tinctures and iodophors.
Iodophors were developed because iodine tinctures caused skin irritation,
severe hypersensitivity reactions and systemic absorption of iodine.
Iodophors are compounds of iodine linked to carriers for iodine and only a
small amount of iodine is released minimizing toxicity but preserving
germicidal activity. One of the most used iodophors is the complex of
polyvinylpyrrolidone (povidine) and iodine. Povidine is a polymer that
remarkably moderates its adverse properties of staining; instability (shelflife) and tissue irritation, but it also decrease the bactericidal activity of the
iodine. Povidone iodine is costlier and has largely replaced tinctures of
iodine. The atomic iodine is perhaps the least toxic and least irritating of
what is available.
Sunkar A. Bisey a Hindu scientist was suffering from malaria in the early
nineteen-hundreds and quinine didn't seem to do him any good. His life was
despaired of, and a Hindu doctor, hoping to save the life of India's first and
greatest inventor, sent on a few doses of a Burmese preparation, made from
seaweed, that had proved useful in treating chronic malaria there. Bisey
tried it. The effect was electrical. He began to improve at once and in a
month was a well man. He set out to research the contents of the seaweed
and ended up producing the compound now known as Beslin or atomic
iodine. Atomic iodine is specific not merely for chronic malaria but for
dozens of diseases and infections. Atomic iodine is iodine molecules broken
down to individual atoms, which is the exact form that the body needs to
make thyroid hormones. If iodine is not in the atomic form the molecules of
iodine first need to be broken down and that of course takes energy.
The quality that separates nascent iodine from all other iodine products is
that the diatomic bond is broken in this condition and that the iodine atoms
each keep one of the two electrons that had made up the covalent bond.
This is known as homolytic cleavage and causes the iodine atom to be
subject to magnetic charging. The iodine being in the atomic state was the
reason it was called Atomidine, for Atomic Iodine (1926 to 1935). This
atomic state and large electromagnetic charge is held by the atom until
diluted in water and consumed. Once diluted and inside the body this atom
is readily absorbed and utilized by the body.
There is a difference between Nascent Iodine and Detoxified Iodine, which
itself is a high quality form of iodine. Detoxified Iodine is produced at 10
amps of resistance for five minutes. Nascent Iodine is more difficult to
produce. The iodine molecule has the diatomic bond broken and has a high
amount of electromagnetic energy associated with it. During the 2 to 3
hour of activation time, when it is taken orally, the nascent iodine has the
greatest effect of all the iodides available on the market and at much lower
dosages. When in the atomic state a large electromagnetic charge is held by
the atom until diluted in water and consumed. Once diluted and inside the
body this atom is readily absorbed and utilized by the body in a way that
most people can actually readily feel.
Nascent Iodine – A scientific term for iodine that has a well known antiinfective value. The iodine molecule has the diatomic bond broken and has
a high amount of electromagnetic energy associated with it. During the 2 to
3 hour of activation time (within the human body, once diluted in water
and consumed) the nascent iodine atom has the ability to be of great
assistance to the body. Magnascent iodine is produced by subjection of a 1
% tincture of iodine to a high electro magnetic field for a given time in
order to produce the nascent iodine state.
This atomic state and electromagnetic charge is held by the atom
until diluted in water and consumed. Once diluted and inside the
body this atom is readily absorbed and utilized by the body.
To quote the 1930's document by Schieffelin and Company:
"The lethal dose of Atomidine (1926 to 1935) in animals is very large,
which accounts for the absence of untoward effects in clinical use. Due
probably to its rapid absorption and its ready combination with harmless
proteid or other organic compounds in the body, iodism very rarely occurs
even in sensitive persons." 1930's nascent iodine
This charged atom of iodine starts a process of relaxation where it
gradually loses energy, 2 to 3 hours. During this time the body
recognizes this atom as the same nascent iodine it produces in the
thyroid in order to make the T3 and T4 hormones. It must also
recognize "the well known germicidal qualities of the nascent iodine
atom".
If the body does recognize both these qualities, it can then use this
charged atom in the thyroid or elsewhere in the body as needed.
The body utilizes more or less nascent iodine depending on the task being
addressed. To boost the body systems may require very small amounts, a
few drops once a day. In the other extreme with life threatening illnesses, it
has been reported that to fight parasites from malaria requires as much as
20 drops 5 times for the first day. And then 10 drops 4 times a day until the
blood stream is clear in a few days.
It's 4:30 Thursday, 7-5-07, and I took four drops of Magnascent in water
about a half hour ago. As I sit here I can actually FEEL my thyroid gland
doing *something* for the third time in about a week, each time after
taking at least 4 drops in water on an empty stomach. It feels almost like it
is moving in my throat. Well I suppose if it is making hormones and
injecting them into my body, a certain amount of movement is to be
expected.
This phenomenon was previously unknown to me, except that for a very
few days in the summer of '06, I did something totally different, which I
won't go into here (some of you will know what I did), that apparently
stimulated my thyroid gland, but I didn't realize what the feeling was then.
For years I have been fighting degenerative arthritis. I have had many
successes already with many substances and methods. One thing that has
eluded me is a regular, everyday good feeling, and regualr everyday
flexibility. I have had many good days in the past few years but always
they faltered and I was always searching for some way to keep it up. Now I
think I have found it. For about 4 weeks now, starting with taking
Detoxified Iodine, but then moving on to Magnascent, I have kept
up a level of energy and flexibility that I mostly have not had since I was
about 38 or so (I'm 53).
I get up in the morning and within a short time I'm running through the
house ready to get work done, then I'm running through my business shop
and yard. At the end of every day I am solidly physically tired, but just get
up and go at it all the same way again every day.
The flexibility is just unbelievable. I find myself jumping in and out of
trucks and crawling under equipment and working on things while
squatting or kneeling with nearly no discomfort. Squatting and kneeling
were very uncomfortable for me only a few weeks ago. I used to wince at
the thought of having to squat or kneel. I've taken an awful lot of very good
things for arthritis but none of them helped much on that account. Now I
find myself not giving it much thought.
My cervical and thoracic areas have really loosened up and gained much
more flexibility. Like I said, there have been many good days in the last
few years, but nothing like this, for days on end so far.
To be sure, I suspect that my results are built upon a foundation of the
many things that have gone before, many things that I still take and do, but
I did not have this every-day-for-weeks energy and flexibility from any of
those things. All of this has happened to me on only about 10-12 drops of
Magnascent per day. I'm drinking about 8-10 a day and putting about 2-4
drops a day on a couple of Heberden's Nodes on my hands.
Since the endocrine system is all stimulated by iodine and the thyroid, my
testosterone is up too. I don't need a test to tell that.
If there has been any downside at all, it has been a bit of the return of
some of my old aggressiveness, and my old tendency to tell somebody
what for if they cross me. I'll have to watch that. I've already told my wife
to call me down if I need calling down. She groans at the prospect.
We think that Magnascent may be doing something for her, particularly for
PMS, but that will take months to be sure about.

Many studies for transdermal use have been done with PVPIodine, which is appropriate for external uses only. The inexpensive
tinctures available in drug stores are also for external use only being
too toxic for internal applications. Atomic iodine is ideal for oral and
transdermal and is available in 1 percent and 7 percent forms. Many
reports about iodine usage do not communicate the type of iodine
used. It seems safe to assume that all iodine products are effective to
one degree or another but certainly some are more toxic than others
and others more easily absorbed.
The purest, most absorbable form of iodine is iodine in the atomic
state (also known as "colloidal iodine"). The famous psychic Edgar
Cayce, when suggesting iodine for all sorts of thyroid problems,
advised that it would be necessary to electrically charge the iodine
to change it into its "atomic" form. This charging apparently converts
the iodine into a form that the body can most fully recognize and
assimilate. (Iodine trichlorite claims to be atomic iodine, but it’s not.)
Simply put, atomic iodine is the best kind to bring the thyroid to its
optimal function because it supports and saturates the thyroid
without any toxic buildup.
Atomic iodine is truly safe for the body. When the thyroid becomes
fully saturated from continued ingestion of detoxified iodine,
whatever it doesn’t need is eagerly grabbed by other tissues of the
body. Radioactive tracing of detoxified iodine has shown that after
the bulk of it goes to the thyroid gland, it is then absorbed and
utilized by the nasal cavities, gut, breasts, stomach, bones,
extracellular fluids, and the connective tissue of almost all the
organs. After the atomic iodine has made its rounds, whatever then
remains and is unable to be used is excreted in the urine. The urine
will turn bright yellow from the excess, similar to what happens with
water-soluble B-vitamins that the body doesn’t need. And, any
excess can help the kidneys if there's an infection at the site.
Note: even though atomic iodine is safe to use, too much taken too
late in the day can be stimulating enough to keep you awake. As
with any other supplement, use discretion.
The seven percent form needs to be used mostly for skin or
breast cancer whereas the 1 percent is best for most other situations
including as a mouth wash. 10-20mL of povidone-iodine mouthwash
has been used as a rinse and gingival sulcus irrigant for the
prevention of plaque and gingivitis as we shall see in the next
chapter that focuses on the important issue of oral dental care. For
chemotherapy mucositis prevention, povidone-iodine rinses have
been used up to four times daily.
Povidone iodine has also been used for cataract surgery antisepsis: 1%
povidone-iodine solution used preoperatively. Also for chronic otitis media:
5% povidone-iodine ear drops, three drops taken three times daily for 10
days has been used. For upper airway sterilization: 1% povidone-iodine
solution inhaled via nebulizer twice daily has been used, with gargle twice
daily. It should be noted that povidone iodine contains surfactantants and
sticking agents (polymers) making it more toxic/dangerous to use than the
atomic iodine, which is simply individual atoms of iodine suspended in a
high grade alcohol.
Iodine exhibits good activity against bacteria, molds, yeasts, protozoa,
and many viruses; indeed, of all antiseptic preparations suitable for direct
use on humans and animals and upon tissues, only iodine is capable of
killing all classes of pathogens: gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria,
mycobacteria, fungi, yeasts, viruses and protozoa. Most bacteria are killed
within 15 to 30 seconds of contact.
Douche and vaginal suppositories containing 10% PVP-Iodine have been
reported effective in the treatment of vaginal infections. These can be used
both as a topical and therapeutic agent for the treatment of birth-canal
infections and for various forms of vaginitis. PVP-Iodine has been reported
as a very effective bactericide against organisms commonly found in the
mouth and is able to destroy these within 15 seconds. Using a
mouthwash/gargle product containing 0.5% PVP-Iodine is effective in
reducing the bacterial flora in the mouth prior to dental surgery.
I use Lugol solution for iodine (either 6 drops in water or sometimes I put
it directly on my skin. If it absorbs within a short period of time [hours] I
know that I am deficient so I put it on every couple of hours until I get to
the point of a 24-hour lapse when the color is still remaining on the skin-which is supposed to mean that my body has enough.) But, I find taking
the drops a lot less bothersome and easier to remember.

It is important when considering using iodine transdermally to take into
account the large amount lost by evaporation. The evaporation of iodine
from the skin increases with increased ambient temperatures and decreased
atmospheric pressure due to weather conditions and altitude. For example,
the yellow color of iodine will disappear much faster in Denver, Colorado at
5,000 feet above sea level then Los Angeles, California at sea level,
irrespective of the amount of bioavailability of iodine. For this reason Dr.
Simoncini directs skin cancer patients to paint the iodine on twenty times.
To summarize Dr. Guy E. Abraham’s findings:
1.
2.
3.

Free iodine penetrates through the unbroken skin.
Approximately 88 per cent of the iodine evaporates from the surface
within three days.
Colloidal iodine evaporates somewhat more quickly than tincture of
iodine; Lugol’s solution is more stable than either of them.
The influence of ambient temperature on the evaporation of iodine is
significant: within the first minute, the losses of iodine by
evaporation are: 10-15% at 9 c; 18-25% at 24 c; and 35% at 37c.
The remaining iodine on the skin following evaporation of 88% of
the total iodine, approximately 12 per cent, is at the disposal of the
body, and penetrates through the skin. The bioavailability of the
remaining 12% of the skin iodine is very gradual.
One can conclude that skin application of iodine is an effective if not
efficient and practical way for supplementation of iodine with an expected
bioavailability of 6 to 12% of the total iodine applied to the skin.
A Swiss physician, Jean Surbeck, reports in the Price-Pottinger Nutrition
Foundation newsletter that there is a simple home test to check your body's
iodine level. He suggests taking a Q-Tip and painting an area about the size
of a silver dollar with 2 percent tincture of iodine (from the drug store- get
the kind that is not discolored). Since iodine will stain the skin yellow, you
might want to paint it on your thigh.
If your iodine level is normal, the stain will disappear after 24 hours. If it
disappears in less than 24 hours, it supposedly means that your body is
deficient, and has thirstily sucked it up!
Here comes the really interesting part: If your body shows a deficiency,
keep applying an iodine spot in different areas on the body every 24 hours
until the stain lasts 24 hours. You will then have reached the correct level.
CAVEAT: As with any iodine supplement, if you are also taking thyroid
supplements, you may need to reduce its dosage to prevent over
stimulating the thyroid.
Such tests vary considerably depending on the type of iodine used, where it is
used, and on the iodine levels in a ´person’s body. My experience is that the atomic
iodine drops quickly through the skin when a person is deficient, which is another
indication of its special properties.
I have treated a number of sore and streph throats and loss
of voice; painting iodine on the outside of the throat clears all
within 24 hours. Iodine absorbs into the skin in about 6 hours.
Also works for ear problems and swollen glands.190
Dr. Daniel H. Duffy said, “I have been using IODEX, an iodine
containing paste applied directly to the skin for the past thirty two years to
help break up the intercostal pain and palpatory soreness at the sternum
often suffered by a high percentage of Midwesterners, especially female
hypothyroids. I was also taught early on that it was common practice for
veterinarians to rub IODEX on the fetlocks of horses to eliminate cystic
formations. Women are instructed to rub IODEX into the sore spots at the
intercostals at bedtime until the soreness disappears.”
Iodine sprayed on the mucous lining of a woman’s vagina will be absorbed
and will soften her breasts in a matter of 5 minutes, while at the same time
it relieves the tension and irritability of intestinal musculature.
Dr. John Myers
Dr. Derry says, “Iodine put onto scabs helps to organize total repair of
the tissue. All pre-malignant lesions and many other oddities of the skin
appear to respond to this regeneration process triggered by topical iodine. I
have mentioned previously a patient with a biopsy-proven breast cancer
lesion (she refused surgery because of previous cancer treatment) that was
strongly fixed to the skin responding well to topical iodine and ended up
being a dimple on the breast three year later.191 It is my belief a water
solution of iodine (like Lugol's) is an important therapeutic agent for skin.
Because of its effectiveness and the results, perhaps many skin diseases are
related to local tissue areas of relative iodine deficiency. In addition, iodine's
ability to trigger natural cell death (apoptosis) makes it effective against all
pre-cancerous skin lesions and likely many cancerous lesions.”
Painting Iodine on my wrist gets rid of my sore throat
every time! Iodine definitely works for me, however, I find it
best to use the clear "decolorized" iodine, available at most
drugstores. I paint it on the inside of the wrists (where the
veins are closest to the skin) and on the sides of the throat.192
“I get small lesions on my forearms and the backs of my hands which
I've been told by a doctor could become cancerous. In the past, I've had that
doctor "burn off" these spots with nitrogen. That has usually worked, but did
not work on two areas that have been with me for about three years now.
For a while now I've been painting these areas with Lugol's solution (5%
iodine), only three or four times a week as the iodine does not absorb as it
would elsewhere on the skin and the dark red/brown of the iodine is very
noticeable. These lesions are not completely gone yet, but they are definitely
fading away.”

Topical iodine facilitates transdermal delivery of insulin.193
Though transdermal application of insulin is not ideal it is good to know
that iodine will protect the disulfide bonds in insulin, and maybe that's one
of the reasons high doses of iodine work to reduce insulin needs in people
who have type 2 diabetes who normally produced insulin. Researchers think
that topical iodine protects the dermally applied insulin presumably by
inactivation of endogenous sulfhydryls such as glutathione and gamma
glutamylcysteine, which can reduce the disulfide bonds of the hormone.
Thus, the effect of iodine is mediated by retaining the potency of the
hormone during its penetration via the skin into the circulation.
Transdermal use of both iodine and magnesium chloride
are ideal methods of administration for children for
many reasons including ease of application.
Iodine preparations include aerosol sprays, gauze pads, lubricating gels,
creams, solutions, douche preparations, suppositories, gargles, perineal
wash solutions, shampoos, and skin cleansers and scrubs. Povidone iodine
preparations are applied topically to the skin and to membranes, e.g. vaginal
membranes, and in infected wounds and surgical incisions. The uses
continue to be largely medicinal, though some iodophors are used in
industrial sanitation and disinfection in hospitals, building maintenance, and
food-processing operations. There has been some interest in the use of
iodine for purification of potable water and swimming pools. Two other
iodine-containing compounds, p-tolyl diiodomethyl sulfone and pchlorophenyldiiodomethyl sulfone have been recommended as
preservatives.
Iodine and iodine-containing compounds and preparations are employed
extensively in medicine, eg, as antiseptics, as drugs administered in different
combinations in the prophylaxis and treatment of certain diseases, and as
therapeutic agents in various thyroid dyscrasias and other abnormalities.
Iodine is a highly reactive substance combining with proteins partly by
chemical reaction and partly by adsorption. Therefore its antimicrobial
action is subject to substantial impairment in the presence of organic matter
such as serum, blood, urine, milk, etc. However, where there is no such
interference, non-selective microbicidal action is intense and rapid.
The use of conventional povidone iodine, i.e. compositions which have a
povidone to iodine ratio of fewer than 10 to 1, typically 8.5 to 1, in vaginal
treatments has been reported. Women being prepared for total abdominal
hysterectomy were treated by insertion of povidone-iodine tampons that
remained in the vagina until the end of the operation. Statistically significant
decreases both in infectious morbidity and in the percentage of positive
cultures from the cervix and vagina, at the time of the operation resulted
from this use of povidone-iodine.194
The use of povidone-iodine (`Betadine`) pessaries in the treatment of
candidal and trichomonal vaginitis was reported by a Dr. Henderson who
studied one hundred and thirty-five women suffering from trichomonal,
candidal, or both infections simultaneously, were treated with povidoneiodine pessaries, 2 pessaries being inserted nightly. The results obtained
were very encouraging, 92% of the trichomonal and 96% of the candidal
infections being cured if treatments were continued for a month. Short
treatments of only seven days were not effective.195
Douche preparations containing povidone iodine are
widely used, and efforts have been made to treat and/or
prevent vaginal infections with povidone iodine.
But routine douching is not necessary to maintain vaginal hygiene; the
preponderance of evidence suggests that douching may be harmful and
shows an association between douching and numerous adverse outcomes.
(See important notes on the dangers of douching.) 196
In 1997, Zhang and colleagues reported the results of a meta-analysis of
6 studies of vaginal douching and cervical cancer. Four studies were
conducted in the United States and published in 1979, 1986, 1987, and
1991; 2 in Latin America were published in 1990 and 1995. The combined
results suggest an overall effect (pooled RR = 1.25, 95% CI = 0.99, 1.59).
Among women who douched at least once per week, the pooled adjusted
relative risk was 1.86 (95% CI = 1.29, 2.68).
Symptoms of acute poisoning from ingestion of iodine (rather than
iodide) are mainly due to its corrosive effects on the gastrointestinal tract
and include vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Other symptoms may
include metallic taste, sore teeth, gum and mouth, and severe headache.
Eventually the kidneys fail to produce urine. A fatal dose is 2 to 3 g of
iodine. Treatment is with large volumes of milk and starch solutions with 1
percent solution of potassium thiosulfate. Providone iodine is not ideal for
internal use and cannot be compared at all to atomic forms of iodine.
The iodine scare is unfounded says Dr. Miller, who goes on to say that,
“Thyroid function remains unchanged in 99 percent of patients. Untoward
effects of iodine, allergies, swelling of the salivary glands and thyroid, and
iodism, occur rarely, in less than 1 percent.” Doctors and health officials
who would warn you of the dangers of iodine are themselves dangerous
people who would rather you use serious pharmaceutical poisons in its
place. Iodine offers a serious and potent replacement for much of the
antibiotics that are literally destroying people’s lives and can be used safely
with children especially if it is used transdermally for easy application. We
could easily communicate to parents, who chose not to dose their kids with
dangerous vaccines that iodine would be very effective against a host of
viral infections that medical officials insist threaten children. Iodine offers a
first line of defense against viruses whereas vaccines, which are laced with
serious poisons including mercury, is like playing Russian Rolette with our
children’s very lives.
Mike Adams states: “One of the most common problems in cancer patients who choose to
undergo conventional cancer therapy is recurrence. They might think they have beaten their
cancer with chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, only to find a few years later that tumors
have spread into other tissues -- usually the lungs, brain, or even the reproductive organs.
Conventional medicine has not yet caught on to what's happening here, but the reason why
this phenomenon occurs is quite simple: Conventional cancer treatments only treat the
symptoms of cancer (tumors or growths) and do not actually do anything to help the patient
regain a level of health necessary to keep cancer in check.”

The most clearly established environmental risk factor for childhood brain
cancer is therapeutic radiation exposure (not including diagnostic X-rays).
New research now suggests that children of mothers who lived near an EPA
Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) facility while pregnant may be more likely
to later develop brain cancer, especially if the site released carcinogens.
Prenatal exposure to chemicals can have profound long-term effects, as
some toxic chemicals that are stopped by the blood–brain barrier in adults
may reach the fetus via the placenta. This work is the first to specifically
examine brain cancer risk in children and potential exposure to TRI
releases. Of the more than 650 toxic chemicals listed in the TRI (Toxic
Release Inventory), 193 are known or suspected carcinogens, according to
the EPA. Fifty-five known, probable, or possible carcinogens were actually
released within 2 miles of the study participants.6

biosynthesis in human erythrocytes. Department of Internal Medicine, Washington
University School of Medicine, J Clin Invest. 1971 March; 50(3): 507–513. Abstract: The
two enzymes required for de novo glutathione synthesis, glutamyl cysteine synthetase and
glutathione synthetase, have been demonstrated in hemolysates of human erythrocytes.
Glutamyl cysteine synthetase requires glutamic acid, cysteine, adenosine triphosphate
(ATP), and magnesium ions to form γ-glutamyl cysteine. The activity of this enzyme in
hemolysates from 25 normal subjects was 0.43±0.04 μmole glutamyl cysteine formed per g
hemoglobin per min. Glutathione synthetase requires γ-glutamyl cysteine, glycine, ATP,
and magnesium ions to form glutathione. The activity of this enzyme in hemolysates from
25 normal subjects was 0.19±0.03 μmole glutathione formed per g hemoglobin per min.
Glutathione synthetase also catalyzes an exchange reaction between glycine and
glutathione, but this reaction is not significant under the conditions used for assay of
hemolysates. The capacity for erythrocytes to synthesize glutathione exceeds the rate of
glutathione turnover by 150-fold, indicating that there is considerable reserve capacity for
glutathione synthesis. A patient with erythrocyte glutathione synthetase deficiency has been
described. The inability of patients' extracts to synthesize glutathione is corrected by the
addition of pure glutathione synthetase, indicating that there is no inhibitor in the patients'
erythrocytes.

Dr. David Holland wrote that in 1999 Dr. Meinolf Karthaus watched three different
children with leukemia suddenly go into remission upon receiving a triple antifungal drug
cocktail for their "secondary" fungal infections. Pre-dating that, Mark Bielski stated back in
1997 that leukemia, whether acute or chronic, is intimately associated with the yeast,
Candida albicans. Dr. J. Walter Wilson, in his textbook of clinical mycology a half a
century ago said that "it has been established that histoplasmosis and such
reticuloendothelioses as leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, lymphosarcoma, and sarcoidosis are
found to be coexistent much more frequently than is statistically justifiable on the basis of
coincidence." Histoplasmosis is what we call an "endemic" fungal infection. The late Dr.
Milton White believed that cancer is a "chronic, intracellular, infectious, biologically
induced spore (fungus) transformation disease."
26
With the aim to reach the maximum effect, sodium bicarbonate should be administered
directly on the neoplastic masses which are susceptible of regression only by destroying the
fungal colonies. This is possible by the selective arteriography (the visualisation through
instrumentation of specific arteries) and by the positioning of the arterial port-a-cath (these
devices are small basins used to join the catheter). These methods allow the positioning of a
small catheter directly in the artery that nourishes the neoplastic mass, allowing the
administration of high dosages of sodium bicarbonate in the deepest recesses of the
organism. With this method, it is possible to reach almost all organs; they can be treated
and can benefit from a therapy with bicarbonate salts which is harmless, fast, and effective
– with only the exception of some bone areas such as vertebrae and ribs, where the scarce
arterial irrigation does not allow sufficient dosage to reach the targets. Selective
arteriography therefore represents a very powerful weapon against fungi that can always be
used against neoplasias, firstly because it is painless and leaves no after effects, secondly
because the risks are very low.

celebration of 60 years of fluoridation, but missed the real news from last week. This was
the revelation carried by the Washington Post and the Associated Press (July 13, 2005) that
a Harvard thesis has shown a connection between water fluoridation and a 700% increase in
osteosarcoma in young men if they are exposed to fluoridated water during their 6th to 8th
years. Particularly disturbing is the information that the thesis adviser, Porfessor Cheser
Douglass, who is also a consultant to Colgate, has covered up these results in talks to the
public and in a report to his funding agency. Both the NIEHS and Harvard University are
investigating his conduct.

Following public outcry, Israel banned these chemicals from being used on feed for dairy
cows and cattle. Over the next ten years, the rate of breast cancer deaths in Israel declined
sharply, with a 30% drop in mortality for women under 44 years of age, and an 8% overall
decline. At the same time, all other known cancer risks--alcohol consumption, fat intake,
lack of fruits and vegetables in the diet--increased significantly. During this period,
worldwide death rates from cancer increased by 4%. The only answer scientists could find
to explain this was the reduced level of environmental toxins.
40 In the environment, sulfate-reducing bacteria take up mercury in its inorganic form and
through metabolic processes convert it to methylmercury. Sulfate-reducing bacteria are
found in anaerobic conditions, typical of the well-buried muddy sediments of rivers, lakes,
and oceans where methylmercury concentrations tend to be highest. Sulfate-reducing
bacteria use sulfur rather than oxygen as their cellular energy-driving system. One
hypothesis is that the uptake of inorganic mercury by sulfate-reducing bacteria occurs via
passive diffusion of the dissolved complex HgS. Once the bacterium has taken up this
complex, it utilizes detoxification enzymes to strip the sulfur group from the complex and
replaces it with a methyl group:

Office of Environmental Health Assessment Services, Washington State. Evaluation of
Evidence Related to the Development of a Tolerable Daily Intake for Methylmercury:
Previous works have also suggested that the average mercury cord blood levels are 20 -
30% higher than mercury maternal blood levels (Kuhnert et al., 1981). Dennis and Fehr
(1975) analyzed paired maternal and cord blood samples for mercury from fish consuming
women in northern Saskatchewan (n = 43) and non-fish consuming women living in
southern Saskatchewan (n = 45). There was a positive association between mercury
maternal and mercury cord blood levels in both regions with the correlation coefficients
being 0.45 and 0.87 for the south and north, respectively. Only in the north though, was the
mean mercury level significantly different (p< 0.01) between maternal and cord blood
samples. The cord blood samples were higher for the north sample group with the slope of
the regression being 1.3. Kuhnert and associates (1981) re-addressed this issue of maternal
and cord blood mercury level differences using gas chromatography techniques, however, a
limitation was that the sample size of the study group was small (n = 29). Methylmercury
levels in both plasma and erythrocytes were investigated with 30% more methylmercury
observed in fetal erythrocytes than in maternal, while plasma levels were not significantly
different. "Total" mercury concentrations in blood were calculated and compared with other
studies, with results from the various studies indicating that "total" mercury levels in fetal
cord blood are 13% to 24% higher than those in maternal blood. Kuhnert and associates
(1981) also suggested that fetal cord whole blood contained 32% more methylmercury than
maternal whole blood which is similar to the increase observed between fetal and maternal
red blood cells. Although the sample size is a limitation of this study, this work does
suggest that the ratio of mercury cord blood levels to mercury maternal blood levels is
greater than one.
52
Dr. Sandra Steingraber goes on saying, "When confronted with methylmercury, the
placenta functions more like a magnifying glass than a barrier. Once inside the fetal blood
supply, mercury is carried to the fetal brain, where it interferes with brain cell migration.
Just as a spider can lower itself from the ceiling by reeling out a single strand of silk, a fetal
brain cell moves from the center of the brain to the surface by rappelling along its own
fiber. This process of brain cell migration begins in earnest during month four of pregnancy
and continues after birth at least through the age of two. Methylmercury paralyzes
migrating brain cells and thus interferes with their movement from center to surface.
Methylmercury also halts cell division in the fetal brain by binding directly to neural
chromosomes. The cerebellum-center of balance and coordination-is a special target of
methylmercury. Prenatal exposures to methylmercury have also been linked to deficits in
memory, learning and attention span that persist into adolescence and appear irreversible.
In short, human fetuses are more vulnerable than adults to the brain-addling powers of
mercury for two immutable reasons: They receive a comparatively bigger exposure
(because of the placenta's concentrating powers), and their brain cells need to move and
multiply."

ppb, which greatly increases the amounts of aflotoxins in our diets. Dietary restrictions are
inadequate to protect us and mycotoxins are even on the skins of some fruits and in some

Uric acid--a uremic toxin? Nakagawa, T et al; Blood Purif. 2006;24(1):67-70
Uric acid has often been regarded as simply a “marker” of renal disease but recently a study
was conducted to clarify the role of uric acid in the kidney and determine whether uric acid
might actually be a cause of renal disease. In this research it was found conclusively that
hyperuricemia (increased uric acid levels in the blood) induced systemic hypertension,
glomerular hypertrophy/hypertension, afferent arteriolar sclerosis, and macrophage
infiltration in the normal rat kidney and that in already existing progressive renal disease,
such as cyclosporine nephropathy and remnant kidney in rat, uric acid accelerated the
progression of renal disease. Thus uric acid is a cause of renal disease.

A solution of alloxan at 2% diluted in saline at 0.9% was administered to the animals in a
single dose corresponding to 40 mg of alloxan per kg of animal weight injected into their
penial vein. Alloxan induces irreversible diabetes mellitus after 24 hours following its
administration and the condition proves to be chronic by laboratory tests after seven days.

men who incurred a false positive result for either prostate, lung or colorectal
cancer averaged $1,171 in additional medical care expenditures compared to men
with all negative screens. More than half, 51 percent, of the men in the study had
at least one false positive test.
For women, 36 percent had false positive screening results. Women with a false positive
screen for ovarian, colorectal or lung cancer experienced $1,024 more in follow-up medical
care expenses compared to women with all negative results.The study was funded by the
National Cancer Institute and is part of a larger trial of the effectiveness of screening for
prostate, lung, colorectal and ovarian cancers.

Agranulocytosis is characterized by a greatly decreased number of circulating
neutrophils. Severe neutropenia is the term usually applied to patients with fewer than 500
neutrophils per microliter (including bands). Agranulocytosis usually refers to patients with
fewer than 100 neutrophils per microliter. The reduced number of neutrophils makes
patients extremely vulnerable to infection. Cardinal symptoms include fever, sepsis, and
other manifestations of infection. Causes can include drugs, chemicals, infective agents,
ionizing radiation, immune mechanisms, and heritable genetic aberrations.

In looking at live blood, you can clearly "see" that there are bacteria, microorganisms
and parasites that are not only in the blood, but over time they grow, can change their
shape, and research has proven, they can become pathogenic (disease producing). This
ability of microorganisms to change is the concept of pleomorphism. Understanding this
concept is also essential to the understanding of cancer and its cure, and the cure of many
other diseases.

Essentially, every person on earth has in their body many ultra small microbes that have
been called by different names: "somatid" (per Gaston Naessens) or "microzyma" (per
Antoine Béchamp and the term used by Robert O. Young) or "bion" (per Wilhelm Reich)
or "protit" (per Gűnther Enderlein). These ultra small creatures can be thought of as a virus
in hibernation. When the inner terrain of the body changes these ultra small microbes
change forms. Gaston Naessens, who, like Royal Rife, invented a superb microscope,
claimed there were 16 different stages these microbes go through from: virus to yeast to
fungal to bacteria and others. While many somatids are already in the body of every human
being, under ideal conditions the microbe is in hibernation and is not causing any problems.
However, once the microbe, now in a different form because of changes in the inner terrain,
gets inside of a normal cell, there are metabolism changes that take place inside the cell,
leading to the end result of cancer. How this may happen will be described below. There
are a wide, wide variety of factors (such as carcinogens), that allow this microbe, which is
already in the body and is by then in the form of a yeast, fungus, mould or bacteria, to get
inside of a normal cell.

Following public outcry, Israel banned these chemicals from being used on feed for dairy
cows and cattle. Over the next ten years, the rate of breast cancer deaths in Israel declined
sharply, with a 30% drop in mortality for women under 44 years of age, and an 8% overall
decline. At the same time, all other known cancer risks--alcohol consumption, fat intake,
lack of fruits and vegetables in the diet--increased significantly. During this period,
worldwide death rates from cancer increased by 4%. The only answer scientists could find
to explain this was the reduced level of environmental toxins.

Resuscitation outcome in emergency medical systems with increased usage of sodium
bicarbonate during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Bar, Joseph G et al; Acta Anaesthesiol
Scand. 2005 Jan;49(1):6 Entrez PubMed
121
With the aim to reach the maximum effect, sodium bicarbonate should be administered
directly on the neoplastic masses which are susceptible of regression only by destroying the
fungal colonies. This is possible by the selective arteriography (the visualisation through
instrumentation of specific arteries) and by the positioning of the arterial port-a-cath (these
devices are small basins used to join the catheter). These methods allow the positioning of a
small catheter directly in the artery that nourishes the neoplastic mass, allowing the
administration of high dosages of sodium bicarbonate in the deepest recesses of the
organism. With this method, it is possible to reach almost all organs; they can be treated
and can benefit from a therapy with bicarbonate salts which is harmless, fast, and effective
– with only the exception of some bone areas such as vertebrae and ribs, where the scarce
arterial irrigation does not allow sufficient dosage to reach the targets. Selective
arteriography therefore represents a very powerful weapon against fungi that can always be
used against neoplasias, firstly because it is painless and leaves no after effects, secondly
because the risks are very low.

These include, Benzotropines (valium) cyclic antidepressants (amytriptayine),
organophosphates, methanol (Methyl alcohol is a cheap and potent adulterant of illicit
liquors) Diphenhydramine (Benedryl), Beta blockers (propanalol) Barbiturates, and
Salicylates (Aspirin).
Poisoning by drugs that block voltage-gated sodium channels
produces intraventricular conduction defects, myocardial depression, bradycardia, and
ventricular arrhythmias. Human and animal reports suggest that hypertonic sodium
bicarbonate may be effective therapy for numerous agents possessing sodium channel
blocking properties, including cocaine, quinidine, procainamide, flecainide, mexiletine,
bupivacaine, and others.

Patient safety incidents in U.S. hospitals increased by three percent overall from 2003 to
2005, and the error gap between the nation's best- and worst-performing hospitals remained
wide. America's top rated centers had 40 percent lower rates of medical errors than the
poorest-performing hospitals, the study showed. The fourth annual HealthGrades Patient

ratings company, examined over 40 million Medicare hospitalization records at almost
5,000 hospitals from 2003 to 2005.

One of the most important supplements for the breast cancer patient is high doses of the
hormone melatonin at bedtime. Melatonin blocks estrogen receptors somewhat similarly to
the drug tamoxifen without the long-term side effects of tamoxifen. Further, when
melatonin and tamoxifen are combined, synergistic benefits occur. Melatonin can be safely
taken for an indefinite period of time. The suggested dose of melatonin for breast cancer
patients is 3 mg to 50 mg at bedtime.
Caution: Although melatonin is strongly
recommended for breast cancer patients, interleukin-2 (IL-2), which often is combined with
melatonin, should be avoided by breast cancer patients. IL-2 may promote breast cancer
cell division. http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag99/jan99-protocols.html

"A mass spectrographic analysis of cancer cells showed that the cell membrane readily
attached cesium, rubidium and potassium, and transmitted these elements with their
associated molecules into the cancer cell. In contrast cancer membranes did not transmit
sodium, magnesium, and calcium into the cell: the amount of calcium within a cancer cell
is only about 1% of that for normal cells. Potassium transports glucose into the cell.
Calcium and magnesium transport oxygen into the cell. As a consequence of the above,
oxygen cannot enter cancer cells so the glucose which is normally burned to carbon dioxide
and water undergoes fermentation to form lactic acid within the cell. This anaerobic
condition was pointed out by Warburg, as early as 1924. Potassium, and especially
rubidium and cesium are the most basic of the elements. When they are taken up by the
cancer cells they will thus raise the pH of the cells. Since they are very strong bases as
compared to the weak lactic acid it is possible that the pH will be raised to values in the 8.5
to 9 range. In this range the life of the cancer cell is short, being a matter of days at the
most. The dead cancer cells are then absorbed by the body fluids and eventually eliminated
from the system." - Dr. Brewer http://www.mwt.net/~drbrewer/highpH.htm

Dr. David Holland wrote that in 1999 Dr. Meinolf Karthaus watched three different
children with leukemia suddenly go into remission upon receiving a triple antifungal drug
cocktail for their "secondary" fungal infections. Pre-dating that, Mark Bielski stated back in
1997 that leukemia, whether acute or chronic, is intimately associated with the yeast,
Candida albicans. Dr. J. Walter Wilson, in his textbook of clinical mycology a half a
century ago said that "it has been established that histoplasmosis and such
reticuloendothelioses as leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, lymphosarcoma, and sarcoidosis are
found to be coexistent much more frequently than is statistically justifiable on the basis of
coincidence." Histoplasmosis is what we call an "endemic" fungal infection. The late Dr.
Milton White believed that cancer is a "chronic, intracellular, infectious, biologically
induced spore (fungus) transformation disease."

http://www.pulmonaryreviews.com/jun05/sodium.html
Corinne M. P. Buysse, MD, and colleagues retrospectively evaluated the use of sodium
bicarbonate in 17 children with life-threatening asthma. Sixteen of these children had
acidosis, indicating severe respiratory distress. The acidosis was classified as mixed
respiratory and metabolic in 13 patients, predominantly respiratory in one patient, and
metabolic in two patients. In one patient, the initial blood gas values before administration
of sodium bicarbonate in the referring hospital could not be traced. A new protocol was
initiated using IV magnesium sulfate and IV sodium bicarbonate as adjunctive therapy
when respiratory distress persisted despite standard treatment. According to Dr. Buysse, a
pediatric intensivist at the Erasmus MC–Sophia Children’s Hospital in Rotterdam,
Netherlands, “Administration of sodium bicarbonate was associated with a significant
decrease in Pco2 in 17 children with life-threatening asthma. Improvement of respiratory
distress was observed as well.”

Lipoprotein (a), or Lp(a), consists of an LDL particle covalently attached to
apolipoprotein (a). In numerous studies elevated plasma levels of Lp(a) are positively
associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and stroke. There
are some experts who believe Lp(a) may be the single most important lipid in assessing
one’s true risk of developing these conditions.

Pregnant women should avoid douching. Intrapartum vaginal antiseptic lavage can be
highly beneficial, but this is a completely different irrigation event than repetitive vaginal
douching. There is no reason to recommend that any woman douche and, furthermore,
women should be discouraged from douching. Research also shows that douching with
povidone iodine is not necessarily the best way to go, as it has been associated with
disruption of the vaginal flora to such an extent to actually cause proliferation of bacteria
and a movement further up into the vaginal tract, entering the cervix, and into the uterus
and pelvis, causing pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, preterm births, reduced
fertility, and even cancer. Douches are much overused in this day and age. The effects of
different solutions and devices must be considered in more detail. Perhaps there are adverse
effects associated with douching if only certain solutions are used but less or no harm with
other solutions.

Routine douching for cosmetic and hygienic reasons is frequently carried out by
adolescents and young women.196
A representative from the Food and Drug
Administration’s Division of Over-the-Counter Drug Evaluation stated that the Agency
considers vaginal douches to be both drugs (because they are sometimes used to treat
disease) and cosmetics (because they cleanse and/or scent part of the body). From the Food
and Drug Administration’s review of epidemiologic studies on vaginal douching
(considered published case-control and cross-sectional studies), a consistent moderate
adverse or null effect of douching was noted; The evidence was considered highly
suggestive that douching independently raises the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease,
ectopic pregnancy, infertility, and cervical carcinoma.
The National Women’s Health Information Center claims that women who douche have
increased bacterial vaginosis, sexually transmitted diseases, and pelvic inflammatory
disease; that douching does not prevent pregnancy but may decrease fertility; and that
douching increases the risk of low birth weight babies and ectopic pregnancy. They also
state that the safest way to clean the vagina is to let the vagina clean itself, which it does by
secreting mucus. During ovulation, the levels of circulating estrogens increase, the cervical
os opens, and the cervical mucus becomes clearer and more profuse. Therefore, the risk of
ascending infection from the pressure of douching may be greatest around the time of
ovulation when the cervical os is gaping and the mucus is thin.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has a fact sheet on pelvic
inflammatory disease that states that women who douche one or two times a month may be
more likely to have pelvic inflammatory disease than those who douche less than once a
month. Their fact sheet on sexually transmitted diseases states that, to prevent sexually
transmitted diseases, sexually active women should avoid douching because douching
removes some of the normal protective bacteria in the vagina and increases the risk of
getting some sexually transmitted diseases.196
