Each participant attends monthly teleconferences (1
hour in duration, 4th Thursday of month) creating a
round table discussion/exploration of the dynamics
and details of a nutrition-based wholistic practice
Each participant chooses a colleague in his/her
world to convey the notes and information – no
information squandering
Issues/problems/questions are considered a learning
process for everyone, although individual’s remain
anonymous
All questions, comments, case studies to be directed
through email to SP rep who will compile and include
in next teleconference ( must be submitted 10 days
prior)

Cancer Facts
• Percentage of cancer patients whose lives are
predictably saved by chemotherapy: 3%
• Conclusive evidence (majority of cancers) that chemotherapy has
any positive influence on survival or quality of life: none.
• Percentage of oncologists who said if they had cancer they
would not participate in chemotherapy trials due to its
"ineffectiveness and its unacceptable toxicity": 75%
• Percentage of people with cancer in the U.S. who
receive chemotherapy: 75%.

The Wholistic Perspective
• Everyone has cancer cells in their body all the time. In normal
health, the body keeps their development in check.
• Only when the immune system is relatively weak enough
can cancer cells multiply and spread.
• Your body/immune system is the only thing that can address
the cancer pattern.
• We do not treat the cancer.
• We support the optimal function of the whole person – physically,
mentally, emotionally, spiritually and relationally.
This allows the person’s own system to address the cancer
as well as it potentially can.

Top Five Causes of Health
1. Expressing a positive, creative spirit:
- love, truth, compassion, peace, integrity, courage
2. Healthy, loving relationships
3. Whole-food diet & supplements
4. Moving the body
5. Adequate rest (physical & mental)
Gaeta Seminars • Cancer Support & Prevention
Cancer – Contributing Factors
Two Global Factors:
1. Immune Deficiency: from poor diet (esp. refined sugar), stress,
overwork, insufficient rest, vaccinations, pancreatic insufficiency, etc.
2. Toxicity: from food, e.g. pesticide- and chemical-laden foods;
air, water & noise pollution, smoking
Other Mutagenic Factors: pharmaceutical drugs, GM foods,
carcinogenic food additives & sweeteners, xenoestrogens,
family history (5% of cases)
Gaeta Seminars • Cancer Support & Prevention
Cancer – Treatment Principles
Core Principle: The only lasting treatment for the cancer pattern is
the person’s own immune system
Pillars of Treatment:
1. Detoxify: whole foods diet, exercise, SP Purification Program,
reduce meds & chemical exposure, stop smoking
2. Improve Immune Function: nutrient-dense foods, exercise,
nutritional & herbal medicine
3. Heal the Life Pattern: Use the illness as a motivation for healing,
change and transformation; make amends for any past wrongs; heal
present and past relationships; face and let go of any guilt or shame
around the illness; they are not a failure for getting sick
Gaeta Seminars • Cancer Support & Prevention
Wholistic Treatment: Diet
Whole foods diet:
● Avoid refined CHO, fats, sugars, alcohol, etc.
● Avoid chemical additives & sweeteners, e.g. MSG, aspartame, etc.
● Minimally-processed food
● Organic, seasonal, locally-grown foods
● Low-grain diet (best grains: brown rice, quinoa, millet)
● Avoid the big three allergens: gluten, industrial dairy and soy
● Plenty of water, fresh fruits & veggies, good fats, good protein

What About Vitamin D?
“The mechanisms by which vitamin D reduces the risk of cancer are
fairly well understood. They include enhancing calcium absorption
(in the case of colorectal cancer) [Lamprecht and Lipkin, 2003],
inducing cell differentiation, increasing cancer cell apoptosis or
death, reducing metastasis and proliferation, and reducing
angiogenesis [van den Bemd and Chang, 2002]. In addition,
25(OH)D downregulates parathyroid hormone (PTH) [Chapuy et al.,
1987]. Since IGF-I stimulates tumor growth and high quantities are
a consequence of the standard American diet [Grant, 2002a; 2004],
vitamin D can be considered one partial antidote to the American
diet.”
- Joseph Mercola, DO
Gaeta Seminars • Cancer Support & Prevention
How Much Sunlight?
Vitamin D experts generally recommend daily exposure
of 10-15 minutes (or 20-25 minutes three times per
week over 40% of the body, without sunscreen.
- Natural Solutions, Fall 2007
“Responsible, routine sun exposure will save 10 lives
from non-skin cancers for every one skin cancer death.”
- Cedric Garland, PhD, professor, Univ. of California’s
School of Medicine & Moores Cancer Center
“UVB is a protective to a total of 16 types of cancer,
primarily epithelial (pertaining to the surface) cancers
of the digestive and reproductive systems.

The Enzyme Approach
Lineage
John Beard, MD, England, 1902
FL Morse, MD, St Louis, 1920s
William Kelley, DDS, 1960s
Nicholas Gonzalez, MD, New York, 1987
All have had great success, far greater than any conventional
treatment. The success of this approach has been well-documented
and supported by lab findings and long-term clinical follow-ups.
2. Enzyme/Digestive
• Zypan
2/meal
• Okra-Pepsin
2/meal plus 2-3 bedtime
• Multizyme
2/meal plus 6 at bedtime
Gaeta Seminars • Cancer Support & Prevention
The Enzyme Approach – 2
Mechanism of Action
Unknown. Gonzalez proposes that “the enzymes
probably attack the proteins on (cancer) cell membranes.
They knock them out so that the cells can’t communicate
and can’t survive. It’s like they’re blinded. We think that’s
what it is. No one knows. We know they work; the human
and animal studies show they work even in aggressive
laboratory models of cancer in mice, but we
don’t know the mechanism.”

Individual & Collective Transformation
1. The world around only reflects the state of human
consciousness.
2. The way to heal the world is for human
consciousness to be restored to wholeness,
and therefore become a means for creative action.
3. The way to restore human consciousness is to
allow one’s own consciousness to be transformed,
or cleared of self-centeredness and the illusion
of separation. Changing the world is an inside job first.
No one can be healed until he becomes, consciously or unconsciously,
an open window for the healing radiance into the world as a whole.
When the ailing one can turn his attention away from his own ill
condition, and regardless of his own suffering, look with loving
compassion and understanding upon others, beholding the perfection
within them whereby they are made whole, he lets the creative flame of
his own Master-Self within perform the perfect work of healing in and
through his own body and mind, and thereby is he made whole.
Only to the degree that one is open can one receive and be a channel
for healing. This healing manifestation is accomplished because one
has allowed him or herself to be an opened window through whom the
healing radiance has gone forth to all suffering humanity. To seek to
get healing is futile. To let the healing radiance pour forth through you
in blessing to others is the perfect way.

Healing Radiations, 1 November 1937
The Normal Miracle of Birth
 Torpedo babies
 Low Carb diets
 EFA’s and membranes
 HPA/Glandular support
 Supporting a suppressed immune
system
 Stewarding Phase II to avoid toxemia
 Prevent Toxic Exposure
 Physical Conditioning
 Promote Fetal Brain Development
 Energy Enhancement
 Prevent Miscarriage due to uterine
insufficiency
24
Points of Pregnancy 
Torpedo babies - Low carb diets less weight gain in mother and
baby has reduced shoulder girth – the medical reason for glucose
tolerance tests is partially to determine the potential for a vaginal delivery
and to prevent gestational diabetes – easily corrected with protein
inclusion and limiting insulin spikes by excluding starch.
 Low Carb Lifestyle – Prevents morning sickness by limiting
hypoglycemic trends and limits excessive mother weight gain and resultant
stretch marks. Typically protein/food powders will support balanced
glycemia. Phase II Diet, SP Complete (2 Tbsp), Protefood (6)
 EFA’s and Membranes - Promote healthy membrane physiology
with essential fatty acid support, thus ensuring gestational integrity –
pregnancy is a membrane miracle. Tuna Omega (2), Linum/B6 (2),
Multi EFA oil blend (3,6,9,12)
 HPA/Glandular Health - Throughout gestation the baby
imprints upon a healthy hormone chemistry. The baby’s first impression
of life on the planet. Symplex F(4), Hypothalmex/us (2)
25
Points of Pregnancy -
Supporting the Suppressed Immune System –
Promote facilitated immune responses so there is compensation for the
pregnant suppressed immune system, characterized by persistent immune
challenges. Sesame Oil (6), Echinacea Premium(2).
Stewarding Phase II Detox – While not promoting any
phase I initiatives, by supporting phase II cleansing all phase I
intermediates may be cared for. Greenfood (2), Spanish Black Radish
(4), itching sign of bile stasis and gallbladder stress use Cholacol (6),
Betafood (6), Gastrofiber (6)



Prevent Toxic Exposure - Toxic burdens during gestation
and lactation may be imparted to the baby, so do not support
detoxification as intermediate metabolites could challenge the baby.
Promote Phase II detox throughout gestation to protect from unknown
exposures. Greenfood (2)
Promote Fetal Brain Development - Provide Choline
3/day through pregnancy as it is proven (Harvard study) to promote
baby’s brain development
26
Points of Pregnancy -
Physical Conditioning – Walking and other
activities can help maintain muscular tone and strength
leading to better delivery outcomes – Perineal massage.
 Energy Enhancement – Vital force practices
can assist mother to be “100% on” for the later gestation
and delivery marathon. Accupuncture, meridian/chakra
balancing, attunement, etc.
 Prevent Miscarriage - If spotting occurs and
threatens miscarriage use Chlorophyll 6-12/day and
Utrophin 6/day immediately. After threat passes
reduce dosage to one each per day.
 Conception Promotion - Use HPA /Glandular
support, Ovatrophin PMG (2), Tribulus (2 – day 5 to
14), and White Peony 1 tsp/day
27
Application of will
The chief act of the will is not effort
But consent.

Conception / Fertility Issues  ART (Artificial Reproductive Techniques) risen 77%
in last 12 years, averaging cost per IVF cycle $15k
(usually 3 to 4 cycles required for success)
 6 million US couples (10% of all married people) grapple
with infertility annually (only 20% seek medical assistance)
– approx. 250,000 test tube babies born in US since
first baby born in England 1978
 Number of US women aged 20-25 tripled in last 30
years – worldwide sperm count has reduced by 50% in last
50 years
 1 in 5 women miscarry, 1 in 10 has toxemia, 1 in 3 has
post partum depression
 1 in 5 births by C section (400% increase in 30 years), 1
in 10 prematurity, 1 in 3 congenital defects
32
Conception / Fertility Issues  Ovatrophin PMG (6) used day 5-14
can increase ovulation, along with
Tribulus (4)
 Chaste Tree (2) and Ovex (6)
promote LH surge and thus ovulation
signaling
 HPA axis strength essential starting

How do we live?
Without belittling the courage with which men have died,
we should not forget the courage with which men … have
lived. The courage of life is often a less dramatic
spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is
no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A
man does what he must – in spite of personal
consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and
pressures – and that is the basis of all human morality
John F. Kennedy

Visit after visit – Start Monday
 See each patient for the stages of evolution that they are personally completing,
watching for the healing principles that apply to them at this stage in their
process
 Teach every patient the principles that give them position and potency in their
process, so that they might have the added context and stability to successfully
complete their journey
 Begin to use the principles to fuel the engine of your service as you confidently
lead through the process – sometimes you will be navigating by your
principles/instruments until things clarify and the way is clear
 Commence the lifelong project of digestive tract support and strengthening to
promote long-term health and immune capacity
 Begin Sequential Immune Up-Regulation to activate the innate healing
response contributing to general immune unburdening
 Change outcomes, stop progression, reverse scarring and damage long-term,
reveal the inherent healing potential and miracle by using principles and products
that follow applications that have not been dreamt of yet in a allopathic symptom
obsessed paradigm – namely bolster, unburden, repair and evolve
 Tune in, Turn on .. Enjoy!
