Dr. Josef Issel's Whole Body Therapy

A pioneer in alternative cancer treatment, Josef Issels, MD, of Germany, achieved remarkable remissions, even in advanced cases, through combination of therapies designed to shrink the tumor and repair the body's defense mechanisms. His "whole body" approach included anticancer vaccines, an anticancer diet emphasizing organic raw foods, and fever therapy to stimulate immune function. He also used a variety of methods to rebuild the immune system and change the body's biochemistry to eliminate an evironment favorable for the development of cancer.

Occasionally he also used very-low-dose chemotherapy, surgery, radiation and ozone therapy in combination with immunotherapy. He prescribed organ extracts to repair damage to organs and improve their functioning. He also administered organ-specific RNA and DNA, proteolytic enzymes to destroy the protein coat surrounding tumors, as well as vitamins and minerals to strengthen the body's enzyme activity. He recommended his patients to have the infected teeth and/or tonsils, and metallic (especially mercury amalgams) fillings removed, because he felt these could have unfavorable effect on immune system. His program also includes psychotherapy to deal with the emotional factors that he felt could hinder recovery.

Dr. Issels gave patients a "fever shot" once a month to raise the body temperature as high as 105 F. He induced active fever with the ethical drug Pyrifer, made from specially treated coli bacteria. He induced passive fever by means of hyperthermia: the patient was placed inside a cylinder containing electrodes that bombarded his or her body with ultra short waves.

He tried to motivate the cancer patients to take on full time struggle against cancer. As one unusual example, his cancer patients were routed out of their beds to do light mountain climbing in the Bavarian Alps. The patients also participated in a daily exercise that included jogging.

Two independent studies - one at King's college Hospital in London, the other at the University of Leyden in Holland - confirmed that about 17 percent of Issel's terminal patients led normal, cancer-free lives for at least five years. Their life expectancy upon admission had been less than one year.

In 50s and 60s the German medical establishment was nowhere near as liberal as now. It boycotted and isolated Dr. Issels. Finally, the German medical authorities leveled trumped-up charges of fraud and manslaughter against Issels, and in 1960, Issels was imprisoned in a cell block containing only convicted murderers. Eventually, however, Dr. Issels was acquitted of all charges. Continue Reading >>

IS CANCER CAUSED BY VIRUS?

ARVIND KULKARNI
Radio-oncologist, Pittsburgh, PA

All over the world, intense research is going on cancer. The type of research done in the past 30 to 40 years has not led to any satisfactory solutions. Although there are advances in surgical techniques, radiation machines and chemotherapy drugs, the overall outcome still remains poor.

Patients, because of the toxic side effects and expensive medical care, fear cancer treatments. Furthermore there is no guarantee of cure! This has led to renewed interest in study of Alternative Medicine, not only for treatment of cancer but for many chronic diseases where modern medicine has no satisfactory answers. People all over the world are turning to alternative medical sciences like ayurved, homoeopathy, acupuncture, nutrition, herbs, yoga, meditation, energy medicine, mind-body methods etc to find better options for their health care.

On this background, the study of Dr. Rife’s work on cancer is very interesting. Dr. Royal Rife worked in California in 1930s and 40s. He was reported to have cured even advanced cancers with a simple but novel method, which unfortunately was neglected by medical industry at that time. There has been renewed interest in his work, especially in Germany, France, England, Australia and now in America. Before we understand what the Rife Method is all about, it would be helpful to get some facts on cancer. Continue Reading >>

Cancer Angel

Kim Tinkham was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in February 2007, just two days before her fiftieth birthday. Rather than go the conventional route of mastectomy followed by chemo and/or radiation she chose to seek out an alternative way to heal her body. Her choice to search for an alternative coupled with a late night email landed her as a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show in March of 2007, where she stood her ground for her right to choose and shared with the audience that 'you cannot make a decision based on fear'.

With hundreds of emails from people around the world who watched the Oprah segment applauding her decision and spurring her on she spent the next four months seeking out answers from doctors and practitioners around the world. With her self imposed deadline of October fast approaching and no answer to the question "what causes cancer?" she finally found the research of Dr. Robert O. Young, a microbiologist in California. After communicating with Dr. Young via phone and email she made the decision to follow his protocol and three months later was cancer free.

She is currently working on her book, "Cancer Angel: The Explanation of What Cancer is, Its Prevention and Cure" based on her story. She is also speaking to groups about how they can use this information to live lives of health and happiness.

Recently a two part story and multimedia presentation was published about Kim's amazing journey. You can access these at the Holistic Healing icon below.

Red Meat Linked to Breast Cancer

Consume red meat in moderation, a new study suggests. As part of the long-running NH-funded Nurses Health Study II, researchers surveyed 90,000 women in their 20's to 40's about their eating habits for more than a decade.

They found that women who ate more than 1 1/2 servings a day of beef, lamb, or pork had nearly double the risk of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer than those who ate three or fewer servings per week.

The researchers theorize that factors including carcinogens found in cooked or processed red meat and growth hormones given to cattle may contribute to the higher rate of breast cancer incidence.

In my own research, I have found that eating meat increases acidic residues of nitric, uric, phosphuric and sulphuric acid that will also increase your risk for breast cancer. Acidic breasts are cancerous breast.

Eliminate the acid and you will reduce your risk for breast cancer.

So, if you want to prevent or reverse breast cancer then you must reduce your acidity by eliminating all animal meat from your diet.

The cure for cancerous breasts will not be found in its treatment of the tissues but will be found in its prevention of acidic residues from acidic foods like meat, milk, cheese and yogurt.

FDA Issues New Warnings for Anemia Drugs

(HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved new "black box" warnings on labels of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, which are drugs used to treat certain types of anemia.

The warnings cover the drugs Aranesp, Epogen and Procrit, and detail their dangers to patients with cancer and patients with chronic kidney failure. Those dangers include heart attack, stroke, heart failure and cancer tumor growth and shortened survival.

The drugs had been touted as a treatment to lessen fatigue and improve quality of life among cancer, HIV and other patients with anemia, but the new label says there's no evidence to back that claim.

"Today's labeling changes are being made to make clear recommendations about the safe and effective use of these products and to strengthen the information about the risks that these drugs pose to patients with cancer and to patients with chromic kidney failure," Dr. Richard Pazdur, the FDA's director of the Office of Oncology Drug Products at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said at a Thursday teleconference.

This is the fifth time the FDA has called for label changes for these drugs -- also known as ESAs -- since Procrit was approved in 1989, Pazdur said.

"We are emphasizing that ESAs should be used at the lowest dose necessary to avoid blood transfusions, since that is the only identifiable benefit for ESAs," Dr. John Jenkins, director of the FDA's Office of New Drugs. "Doctors should have discussions with their patients about whether to use ESAs at all."

These drugs are synthetic versions of a protein made in the kidney that tells bone marrow to produce red blood cells. The drugs are manufactured by Amgen Inc., of Thousand Oaks, Calif. Procrit is marketed and distributed by Ortho Biotech LP of Bridgewater, N.J., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson.

Dr. Roger M. Perlmutter, Amgen's executive vice president of research and development, said in a prepared statement that his company "has been working closely with the FDA and J&JPRD [Pharmaceutical Research and Development] to ensure that the information contained in the approved labeling for ESAs accurately reflects the current state of knowledge of these important products and to develop a comprehensive and feasible clinical study program to complement our existing pharmacovigilance program.

"In the current label revisions, we have endeavored to include as much information as possible so physicians and their patients can make informed treatment decisions," he added.

For cancer patients, the new warnings emphasize that the drugs can cause tumor growth and reduce survival among patients with advanced breast, head and neck, lymphoid and non-small cell lung tumors. This is especially true when the dose is designed to produce a hemoglobin level of 12 grams per deciliter of blood or more.

For hemoglobin levels less than 12 grams per deciliter, the label will say there is no evidence to determine if the drugs cause any of these problems, the FDA said.

"We recommend that prescribers talk to their patients about the risks that ESAs might cause cancer to grow or shorten survival before they prescribe these drugs or continue ESA therapy, Pazdur said. "The risks should be weighed against blood transfusions and their associated risks."
The new label will also make it clear that ESAs should be used in cancer patients only when their anemia is caused by chemotherapy and not from other causes. Also, ESAs should be stopped when the patient's chemotherapy has ended, the FDA said.

For patients with chronic kidney failure, the new black box warning says that ESAs should be used to keep hemoglobin levels between 10 grams per deciliter to 12 grams per deciliter. Higher hemoglobin levels in these patients can increase the risk for death, stroke, heart attack or heart failure, the FDA said.

The new labeling also gives instructions for dosage adjustments and hemoglobin monitoring for chronic kidney failure patients who do not respond to ESA treatment.

The new label also says there is no evidence that ESAs improve symptoms of anemia, quality of life, fatigue, or patient well-being in cancer patients or patients with HIV taking the drug AZT.

"There are no data from controlled trials demonstrating that ESAs improve symptoms of anemia, quality of life, fatigue or patient well-being," Pazdur said.

The FDA is working with Amgen on new clinical trails and is also reviewing a Medication Guide that will explain the use of these drugs to patients, Pazdur said.

Epogen, Procrit and Aranesp are used to treat anemia in patients with chronic kidney failure and anemia caused by chemotherapy in some cancer patients. Epogen and Procrit are also used in some anemic patients who are undergoing surgery to reduce the need for blood transfusions. These drugs are also used to treat anemia in HIV patients taking AZT.

Most Women Unaware of Hormone Replacement Study

(HealthDay News) -- Most women are unaware of the results of a large-scale study, released in 2002, that found significant cancer and heart risks associated with long-term hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

That study, called the Women's Health Initiative, generated massive amounts of publicity immediately after it was released. Its data caused many American women to abandon HRT altogether.

But just two years later, in June 2004, fewer than a third of women surveyed by Stanford University researchers said they knew about the findings.

"I was quite surprised by that. Other research had indicated that up to half had heard about it," said senior researcher Dr. Randall Stafford, associate professor of medicine, Stanford Prevention Research Center, Stanford University, Stanford, Calif., and the senior author of the study.

His team's study is published in the September/October issue of the journal Menopause.

When Stafford and his colleagues interviewed 781 women between the ages of 40 and 60, only 29 percent knew about the study. The question was posed this way: "Have you heard or read anything about the results of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), a major research study in the U.S. suggesting the health risks of taking hormone therapy outweigh the benefits for most women?"

Those polled included 252 women who had not yet entered menopause, 88 classified as perimenopausal (having irregular menstrual cycles, but at least one period in the past 12 months), 227 women who were in or past menopause, and 196 who had surgically induced menopause after having undergone hysterectomy. For 18 women, menopausal status wasn't known due to missing data.

Next, the researchers ask whether HRT increases, decreases or has no impact on the risk of seven health conditions, including memory loss, heart disease, blood clots, stroke, osteoporosis, breast cancer and colorectal cancer.

Only 40 percent of the women answered more of these questions correctly than incorrectly. While 64 percent knew that hormones were thought to increase breast cancer risk, for example, only 9 percent knew the supplemental hormone regimen increased memory loss risk. Just 34 percent understood that HRT might boost their cardiovascular risk.

When asked if they had talked about hormone therapy with their doctors, the researchers found that 36 percent of women aware of the WHI findings had talked about it with their physicians. But only 15 percent of those who didn't know about the study results did.

"We need to do a better job of disseminating information," Stafford said, referring to the health care system.

But another expert familiar with the study viewed the results a bit differently. Some of the women may not have been even thinking yet about menopause, since the survey included women as young as 40, for whom menopause is typically 5 to 10 years away, noted Dr. William Parker, staff gynecologist and past chair of obstetrics and gynecology at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and the Orthopaedic Hospital, Santa Monica, Calif.

"The unanswered question is, 'How many women who need to know the information now do not have it?' " said Parker, who is also clinical professor of ob-gyn, University of California, Los Angeles, School of Medicine.

If a woman is not at the point where she has to make a decision about hormone therapy, he said, it would not jeopardize her care if she was unaware of the study and its findings and didn't have a conversation with her physician.

In his own practice, Parker said, "If a woman is, say, age 48, and comes in, says she is having occasional hot flashes but is still having periods, I tell her, 'Let's have a conversation when you need it, because this information changes so quickly.' " Since the original WHI results were released in 2002, numerous re-analyses have been done of the study to confirm or negate the original findings, he noted.

Unless a woman needs the information immediately, Parker reasoned, the office visit time would probably be better spent on other concerns or preventive health.

The study was funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare. The pharmaceutical company was interested in the data due to its black cohosh product for menopausal symptom relief, Stafford said.

Test Spots Genetic Damage Done by Smoking

(HealthDay News) -- An experimental lung cancer screening test designed to look for precancerous genetic damage could help better identify patients at risk for the disease, while opening up the possibility for earlier diagnoses and preventive treatments, a new study suggests.

The procedure enabled the researchers to screen people for evidence of chromosomal abnormalities in the lungs that are found among virtually all lung cancer patients. More than 80 percent of patients who did not yet have lung cancer -- but whose smoking placed them at high-risk -- were found to have such disease biomarkers.

"We were able to see precancerous genetic changes in the bronchial cells lining the airways of the lungs in both high-risk smokers and in patients who have lung cancer in another part of the lung," said lead author Dr. Wilbur A. Franklin, a professor of pathology at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.

Reporting in the September issue of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, the authors cautioned that they are not yet certain that the genetic changes they identified will always lead to lung cancer. However, they said the prospect of such an association was fuel for further research.

Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in the United States, causing more fatalities than colon, breast, and prostate cancer combined, the researchers noted.

They added that genetic markers for lung cancer risk are good targets for screening interventions, given that once chromosomal abnormalities occur, they are considered irreversible -- even among smokers who kick the habit.

Franklin and his team used two laboratory techniques -- spectral karyotyping (SKY) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) -- to check the chromosomal status of lung tissue among 71 people. Fourteen of the study participants had already been diagnosed with lung cancer, 43 were considered at high-risk for the disease because they were smokers, and another 14 people were healthy men and women who'd never smoked.

Chromosomal abnormalities were found in 100 percent of the cancer patients and 82 percent of the high-risk smokers.

The researchers also established a so-called chromosomal abnormality index (CAI) to illustrate the extent of genetic damage. They found that while non-smokers had CAI readings of less than 1 percent, high-risk smokers had reading above 10 percent, and cancer patients topped 15 percent.

The researchers said it's not yet known when such potential genetic "markers" for future lung cancer develop or what constitutes the initial "genetic hit" that triggers chromosomal changes.
Still, they were able to identify four chromosomes -- numbers 5, 7, 8, and 18 -- that were most often affected among both cancer patients and the high-risk smokers.

Franklin emphasized that the technology his team used would not be practical for widespread medical use outside of a research setting. But he said he hoped the study is a "small step" forward in the effort to develop widely available screening options that could offer patients at risk of lung cancer a chance at earlier and more effective treatment.

"Ultimately, the point is to identify those patients who are likely to go on to get cancer before they get it," he said. "And, ultimately, we'd like to develop chemo prevention drugs that would target these high-risk individuals."

Franklin said he expects a biomarker screening technique for lung cancer to be available in the "not too distant future."

Dr. Timothy Winton, an associate professor of surgery and division director of thoracic surgery at the University of Alberta and the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Canada, called the new study a "very interesting" effort to harness modern technology to get a jump on lung cancer diagnoses.

"This is an attempt to look inside the cell at a very early genetic change level to get useful insights into the damage that's been done and the risk that is associated with it," he said. "It's an extension of a series of screening studies ongoing for decades to catch cancer at a very early stage, so it can be cured by surgery or surgery plus chemotherapy.

"It's also further strong evidence that not smoking is one of the major things that people can do to protect themselves from lung cancer," Winton added. "Because the message here is that smoking leads to genetic abnormalities, which go on to lead potentially to cancer. And very few people that do not smoke get lung cancer."

New Test Helps Detect Spreading Breast Cancer

(HealthDay News) -- The first molecular laboratory test to help doctors detect whether breast cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the agency said Monday.

The GeneSearch BLN Assay detects molecules that are abundant in breast tissue but are normally rare in lymph nodes. The body's lymphatic system helps protect against infection.

The first lymph node that filters fluid from the breast is called the "sentinel node," which is commonly removed during a lumpectomy or mastectomy because it's where breast cancer cells are most likely to spread first, the agency said. The GeneSearch test offers an additional way to evaluate the sentinel node.

In clinical testing involving 416 women, the test accurately predicted that breast cancer had spread 88 percent of the time. Among women in whom cancer hadn't spread, the test was 94 percent accurate, the FDA said.

The test is manufactured by a New Jersey-based Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, Veridex, LLC.

After 25 years of research studying the affects lifestyle and diet on the pH of the blood

After 25 years of research studying the affects lifestyle and diet on the pH of the blood, I have learned that the human organism is alkaline by design and acidic in all of its functions. If one can maintain the delicate alkaline pH of all the body fluids bathing every cell from within and from without at 7.365 then life will continue without pain, suffering, sickness or disease.

Louis Pasteur's germ theory has become a curse. Antoine BeChamp an adversary to Pasteur and his germ theory for scientific fraud said this about the germ theory, "there is nothing so false that does not contain some element of truth, and so it is with the germ theory."

The germ theory is the controlling medical idea for the world. In Pasteur's day, and ever since, other proposed theories about the cause of disease have fallen on death ear because they have tended to contradict that paradigm. NO matter how simple and logical an idea about the cause of disease, if it does not promote the concept of invasion of germs and their specific cures it does not fit into the medical paradigm.

More importantly, the germ theory has become a curse because it has encouraged individuals to give up responsibility for their own health over to the medical community. If germs cause disease it stands to reason that control belongs to the medical community whose tireless researchers spend trillions of our money to find the right pill or potion to annihilate disease-causing germs.

This quest to cure disease through medication is at the heart of modern allopathic medicine and the multi-trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry. It is a quest that persists despite evidence indicating that airborne germs do not cause the disease for which they are credited.

After more than a century of trying, the Pasteurian germ theory has utterly failed in the quest to a cure for any disease. All major degenerative diseases are on the increase, as are so called infectious diseases which are not infectious at all. Every year, old symptoms are given new names - names like MS for polio, AIDS for poor sanitation, poor nutrition, poor lifestyle choices and drug use, Epstein-Barr virus for connective tissue disorders like fibramyalgia - to make them appear to be the work of a new germ. Unless we turn this nonsense around, the human race could become extinct like the dinosaurs from the treatments of modern medicine to kill a non- threatening or phantom germ.

If we want to find the cure for disease we need only to look at our dietary and lifestyle choices. If you heed the ignored, even rejected discoveries of Pasteur's peers and scientists of the 19th and 20th century, adding those to my own discoveries, you will learn the true cause of disease.
Until the medical community starts looking at causes rather than devoting its time looking for cures, and until we start taking responsibility for our own lifestyle and dietary choices, I believe the human race is in trouble of becoming extinct.

Dr. Benjamin Rush, Physician and signer of the Declaration of Independence, 1776 said this: "Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize itself into an undercover dictatorship, To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic."

Where does life begin? In the womb or the grail, the holy grail, in the amniotic fluid, in a 98.6 F, one percent water and salt solution or 1 part salt to 100 parts water. This solution is called the sol. This natural salt solution, called "sol" is from the origin of the word, directly connected to the word "soul". What we call "sol" for our salt solution (a solution of two in one- no more polarity), was believed by the ancient Celtics to represent our soul, as the soul originated, in their belief, from the ocean where we are all born from the same fluids, arising from the same "sol" a solution of salt and water.

Our body in its wholeness is an ingenious creation of nature, It has been given all mechanisms to not only sustain its life but also to create new life. Every healthy person has innate regulatory mechanisms to maintain its alkaline design and self-healing powers, which ensure or reestablish the natural balance of the bodily functions, the homeostasis.

It is not the doctor that heals us, nor the medication, but our own innate alkaline regulatory mechanisms. Our body is able to fully regenerate itself. Therefore, it is advised to use great discernment before labeling any disease as "incurable" or "untreatable." If doctors come to the conclusion that a disease in incurable, they would be more accurate in saying that with their knowledge and experience, they are not able to offer any further help. The word "incurable" conveys fear, or false evidence appearing real, which stifles and weakens our body's innate alkaline mechanism.

Bio-chemically speaking Health is all about alkaline balance. Bio-energetically speaking Health is all about energy. Vibrating energy is the origin of matter and the origin of life. And matter is nothing more than organized energy.

In 1984, the Swiss physicist Dr. Carlos Rubbia, received the Nobel prize for discovering a mathematically calculable natural constant with which he could calculate the ratio of mass particles (matter) in relation to navigating energy particles, The ratio of matter to energy that forms matter is 1 to 9,746 to the power of 108 or about 1 to 1,000,000,000 which means it takes one billion energy units to create one single unit of matter in a materialized tangible form.

Isn't interesting that we for the most part, preoccupy ourselves with only 1 billionth part of reality: that which is in a material form and can be seen and touched. We fail to see the far greater amount of energy particles it took to materialize our reality. This revolutionary scientific discovery shows us clearly that every form of matter is subject to higher energetic interactions and subject to change of form and function.

When we analyze the energy content of any form of matter, we arrive at its smallest part, the atom and its protons, electrons and neutrons. There is ongoing movement without any contact- nothing tangible, just pure vibrating energy. This vibrating energy creates a frequency, which can be measured, a so-called wave length which can be seen using my photon interference photography. Every form of matter is characterized as a specific frequency spectrum.

And each frequency spectrum can be measured using a decibel meter. All organized matter is nothing more than organized energy that gives off a specific frequency and a specific sound which can be measured and heard. When we turn on a light or an electrical device we can see the energy but we cannot perceive the electrical current itself, but we except its existence.

This same materially non-perceivable electricity, this energy, flows through our body fluids especially our blood. Every one of us has enough measurable electrical cu rrent flowing through us to light up a 100 watt light bulb.

Life/light = energy and energy = information or intelligence. Everything that exists not only exists as energy but also as a carrier of information or intelligence, whether it is a human being, a form of food or drink, or a rock. Life is a constant exchange of energy and intelligence and the best place to view this life energy is in the live and dried blood.

Plasma which is 92% water is a good example for showing how matter as energy is transformed when additional energy is added or subtracted. Water has three different distinct bodies or states: solid, liquid and gaseous. Ice is frozen water or like the thickening of the blood.

We can see it and feel its coolness. By adding energy in the form of heat to the ice it transforms back into a liquid. When we add more energy to the water it begins to boil and the molecules start moving faster and faster that they begin to transform into steam and become gaseous. This transformation of organized energy as matter from one form to another is know as biological or energetical transformation or also referred to as pleomorphism.

Energy and intelligence are identical.
Every form of energy has a specific wavelength
Every wavelength has its individual content of intelligence
There are no accidents in the order of Nature

Meanwhile, we know of about 40,000 different diseases and the list is growing that are treated by the 1,200 different allopathic specialty fields with 58,000 different kinds of allopathic preparations or medicines. However, the word diseases in the plural form, is not a accurate.

Have you ever heard of "healths"? We are either healthy or ill. This illness signals a lack of energy and shows up in the form of a symptom. To represent a symptom as an illness is technically and scientifically inaccurate. The symptom is merely the intelligent cry of the energetically defective and suffering body, crying out for help. And normally, the body turns to a weakened organ to give us a hint, through a symptom, that things are not in order.

Our bodies either hum or honk Upset stomachs or high blood pressure or high blood sugars is the body honking. The honks of our bodies are telling us there is a state of pH or energetic imbalance.

Why does pH balance or pH Homeostasis define good health?
pH balance or pH homeostasis in humans commonly refers to the internal balance of the body's electro-magnetic and chemical systems in response to the changing conditions of the external world and the changing conditions of the internal world.

The word homeostasis comes from the Greek words: "homeo" means similar or "alki" or "alkaline" and "stasis" means a tendency toward maintaining stability. There are many homoeostatic mechanisms in our bodies that help maintain this balance and our state of health is directly related to the health of these mechanisms. pH homeostasis is maintained by dynamic processes of feedback and regulation.

pH homeostasis has only one objective: to preserve the beneficial conditions of life in the internal alkali environment. Every day we are bombarded with external influences that threaten that balanced internal alkaline pH environment. Some of these threats include becoming too hot or too cold, eating too much or eating acidic foods or drinks, breat hing polluted air and being exposed to chemicals over a period of time.

Our cells, especially the red blood cells can only survive when our bodies are strong enough to maintain pH homeostasis or to regain it quickly after we have been exposed to toxic environmental threats. Some of the pH homoeostatic mechanisms in the body include temperature regulation, dilation of the eye, blood composition, heart rate, blood pressure, water content, blood sugar level, mineral relationships, and of course the acid/alkaline balance of our body fluids. An essential feature of these mechanisms is that they enable the red blood cells, the tissue which is a product of the red blood cells and the whole of the organism, also a product of blood, to adapt to changes in both internal and external environmental conditions.

If the pH homoeostatic mechanisms are impaired the body loses its ability to regulate these mechanisms. By looking at living blood using a compound microscope we can view the quality of the red blood cell, its environment and how well the body is manag ing these pH homoeostatic mechanisms.

The interdependence and close coordination of the many bodily functions, which work so well when we are in alkaline balance or health, may be upset by a chain reaction when any part of the system breaks down from metabolic acids which have not been properly eliminated through, respiration, perspiration or urination. If this chain reaction is too drastic, the red blood cells and body cells will become acidic and begin to biologically transform into other cellular forms - like bacteria or yeast.

The normal state of health is not a static condition, but a coordination response of many systems and mechanisms. Fluctuations occur within a very narrow pH range. An imbalance of a point or two on the acid/alkaline pH scale is extremely disruptive to health. A few percentiles of variation of oxygen concentration in the blood can impair function.

In the bloodstream, the slightest changes can be observed in the structures of the red and white blood cells, the level of cellular debris, the creation of cholesterol or calcium crystals, etc. If the blood sugar content is continually elevated due to body cell transformation or breakdown, the body chemistry becomes upset. An infinitesimal deficiency of sodium, calcium, potassium or magnesium, the alkaline buffers of the body can cause a problem in the function of many body parts.

We must keep our pH homoeostatic mechanism strong so that we can deal effectively with our world. If we are humming and the process of pH homeostasis is orderly, life continues; if we are honking and the pH homeostasis is continually being disrupted, our health is in jeopardy.
pH Homeostasis is a bit like balancing the books in accounting. It is maintained by balancing inputs with outputs.

How well we adapt in health and sickness is largely a function of the pH homoeostatic mechanism. The body's chemistry response to such subtle changes that a negative thought, an acidic food or drink, or eating too much food can be a problem for maintaining balance.
In 1988 an article of the New England Journal of Medicine stated that, "most major chronic disease probably results from the accumulation of environmental factors over time in genetically susceptible people."

In 1965, Rene Dubos, a medical historian and philosopher, pointed out that the body is imperfect in its attempts to adapt and maintain pH homeostasis. She said, "the mechanisms involved in regulating homeostasis don not always return the body's functions to their original state. They can be misdirected. The body only has the ability to adapt to insults for so long. When it can no longer adapt , degeneration sets in. Health is the state that the body attains when an individual responds adaptively and restores the body to its original integrity."
The term "homeostasis" was coined in the mid-1920's by the American physiologist, Walter B. Cannon. But he was building on a concept of balance that dated back to ancient Western, Eastern, and Middle Eastern civilizations.

The balance equals good health equation was first suggested by Hippocrates (460-375 BC) and the ancient Greeks. Hippocrates considered health to be a state of harmonious balance and disease a state of disharmony. He and his contemporaries believed that harmony and balance existed between organs, between bodily fluids, and between body and soul. When the body is out of harmony and balance, illness occurs.

Hippocrates studied the entire patient in his or her environment, noting the effects of climate, food, and occupation on health. "Our natures are the physicians of our diseases, " he said, describing the healing forces we all have within us as the healing power of Nature. It was the physician's objective to restore harmony with food, exercise, rest, and with medicinal remedies designed to remove the harmful acidic excesses. This conservative approach was designed to let nature do the healing and above all, as Hippocrates said, "to first do no harm."

The Greeks ideas on equilibrium and health evolved further under the philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC). He felt that a healthy body worked through what he described as a hemostat, a device that returns the body to a state of equilibrium even when it is subjected to stimuli that disturbs this balance. Everything is tied to this state of equilibrium, including the psyche and emotions, and nothing could be regarded as a separate component.

To lead a healthy life, the condition of balance had to be maintained, This could only be achieved if the body had an adequate feedback system, a means by which signals were transmitted to different parts of the body to help move it back into balance when it moved too far off alkaline center.

This psychological viewpoint was shared by another philosopher, Epicurus (341-270 BC). In his writing he referred to psychological stress and suggested that an individual's quality of life could be improved by coping with what we would now describe as emotional stressors.

As early as about 120 AD in India, Eastern philosophers had reached similar ideas about the importance of balance in health. A general medical textbook from that time, the Caraks, described health as a balance of bodily elements know as dhatus, and a happy mental state called prasana.

The Middle Eastern approach incorporated the Hindu teachings with the Greco-Roman medical doctrine. Being base upon both religious and philosophical ideas, Islamic healing involved both body and soul.

Over 1000 years later, during the Middle Ages in Europe, good health was still linked to this notion of balanced physical, emotional, and spiritual state. To help people achieve this state, European hospitals were set up by religious orders and attached to abbeys, monasteries, and convents. Doctors prescribed diet, rest, sleep, exercise, and salt baths.

In 1600 Thomas Sydenham had begun classifying diseases, even though he believed disease was a result of imbalance, consistent with Hippocrates and Galen.
In 1628 Harvey traced the circulation of the blood, arguably perhaps the single greatest achievement in medicine.

In 1753 James Lind showed that Scurvy could be reversed with the limes that contain limonene - an antitoxic or antacid.

Doctors began to lose their way in 1796. In 1796 Benjamin Rush observed that all fevers were associated with flushed skin, he concluded that this was caused by distended capillaries and reasoned that the proximate cause of fever must be abnormal "convulsive action" in these vessels. He took this a step further and conclude that all fevers resulted from disturbances of capillaries and since the capillaries were part of the circulatory system, he concluded that a hypertension of the entire circulatory system was involved.

Rush proposed to reduce this convulsive action by "depletion" or bleeding. A reminder that the medical establishment's acceptance of bleeding exists today in the name of the British Journal "The Lancet" one of the leading medical journals in the world. Today bleeding is called phlebotomy.

Also, In 1796 Edward Jenner took the pus from the runny sores of sick cows and injected it into the blood of his "patients. He thought that since pus is seen routinely in all kinds of wounds, pus was seen as a necessary part of healing.

In 1788 vaccinia was the bacteria that medical science suggested caused cowpox.
In 1830 the development of the first modern day achromatic microscope.

In 1835, Harvard's Jacob Bigelow argued in a major address that in "the unbiased opinion of most medical men of sound judgement and long experience . . . the amount of death and disaster in the world would be less, if all disease were left to itself."

In 1840 Jacob Henle in his essay, "On Miasmata and Contagia" first formulated the modern germ theory. He suggested that disease seem to germinate, grow and spread - like a first point or origin, a seed, a bacterium. The germ theory said that minute living organism invade the body, multiply and cause disease and that a specific germ causes a specific disease.

In 1850 Samule Thomson said, " May the time soon come when men and women will become their own priest, physicians and lawyers - when self-government, equal rights and moral philosophy will take the place of all popular crafts of every description . . False theory and hypothesis constitute nearly the whole art of medicine."

In 1860 Louis Pasteur suggested that living organisms, not a chemical chain reaction caused fermentation, winning converts to the germ theory.

In 1881 an American scientist George Sternberg was the first to isolate the fungus, pneumococcus and the first to observe the white blood cells engulfing bacteria, a key to understanding the immune system.

In 1882 a German, Robert Koch isolated the tubercle bacillus and declared it as the bacterium that caused tuberculosis that further confirmed the germ theory of Pasteur.

In 1884, German scientist Friedrich Loeffler isolated the diphtheria bacillus from throats of patients, grew it on a special medium (labs today call this Loeffler's serum slope to grow the bacteria from suspected cases), and began carful experiments in animals that took several years. His work suggested that the bacteria themselves did not kill; the danger came from a toxin, diptherium, an acidic poison that the bacteria excreted as a waste product from sugar metabolism.

In 1885 Max von Pettenkofer insisted that Koch's bacteria were only one of many factors in the causation of disease. His dispute with Koch became increasingly bitter and passionate. Petterkofer determined to prove himself right, prepared test tubes thick with lethal cholera bacteria. Then he and several of his students drank them down. All survived. Petterkofer claimed victory that germs do not cause disease.

In 1889 Pasteur's proteges, Emile Roux and Alexandre Yersin grew broth thick with diphtheria bacteria and used compressed air to force broth through a filter of unglazed porcelain. The filter was designed by Charles Chamber land, a physicist working with Pasteur; though only a tool, the filter itself would prove to be immensely important. NO bacteria or solids could pass through the porcelain. Only liquid could. They then sterilized this liquid. It still killed. That proved that bacteria, an insoluble could not kill, but a soluble, an acidic toxin did the KILLING.

The cure from diphtheria was not in killing the bacteria but neutralizing the acids or excretions from the bacteria.

In 1900 Frederick Gates and intellect and Baptist Minister and an assistant to John D. Rockefeller, saw an opportunity to exploit the medical field because of its admitted uncertainty and ignorance of the time. He had organized many business ventures for the Rockfellers' and convinced John D Rockefeller to open the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. The Rockefeller Institute saw medicine itself as its field from its earliest existence scientists studying disease based upon the germ theory of Pasteur.

In 1901, William Henry Welch was hired by John D. Rockefeller to set up the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. William Henry Welch was steeped in the germ theory and established its strong hold on the medical model. You might call Dr. Welch the Father of American Medicine and the perpetrator of the Pasteurian Germ Theory.

After the civil war medicine had discovered drugs - such as quinine, digitalis and opium of which Oliver Wendell Homes the physician Father of the Supreme Court justice said, "I firmly believe that if the whole materia medica, as now used, could be sunk to the bottom fo the sea, it would be all the better for mankind - and all the worse for the fishes."

In 1911, the head of the school training French army doctors in public health said that germs alone were "powerless to create an epidemic." But it was too late, this particular view was now considered simply a minority opinion. The germ theory now had its hold on the governments of the world!

IN 1911, the medical establishments made up a story that Peyton Rous discovered a bacteria that caused cancer and received a Noble Prize for his discovery posthumous in 1966. This gave rise to the term virus named after Peyton Rous's bacteria. Peyton Rous never suggested this in any of his research that his bacteria caused disease let alone cancer. This story gave rise to a new group of bacteria called filterable bacteria that the medical community now refers to as virus - beginning 1996. There is NO scientific evidence that shows that virus's have ever caused ANY disease.

These ideas of balance were some distance from those of earlier societies that ascribed illness to the supernatural powers they believed governed their lives. The Babylonians, the Egyptians, the ancient Americans saw disease as an entity unto itself, a potent demon that struggled to dominate, attacked, penetrated, and possibly even killed its unfortunate host.
Offend the Gods, an ancestor, or an evil witch and be struck down as punishment. Lead a sinful life and you were tempting fate.

Of course, we perceive that these ideas about disease are no longer widely believed, which makes it all more the ironic that Pasteur's germ theory has had and still has a stranglehold on 19th, 20th and now 21st century medicine. As medical writer Alberto Seguin described in an article entitled, "The Concept of Disease," the demonic idea of disease reached its full height with the germ theory. It became possible to bring together rational and scientific thought with irrational tendency to personalize disease. The germ in what ever name it is called, West Nile Virus, Ebola, Hunta, HIV, Anthrax, SARS and now AVIAN, are the scientific demon, the curse, the lie and the fraud that is said to attack and kill!

If we will consider disease as a symptom of disease not the cause, then the germ is nothing more than an expression of imbalance and a biological transformation of what use to be organized to that which is changing into a new form. This was my discovery in 1994. I witnessed biological transformation as seen on pg. 126 of my book "Sick and Tired" the transformation of a rod bacteria back into a red blood cell and then back into a bacterial rod.

I knew for the first time that bacteria was not a demon, not an entity but a transformation, a new formation of a preceding form. Not the cause of disease but the expression of a change in the internal environment which had given rise to change. For several years I felt alone in this discovery until I learned of the works of the giants that proceeded me that had their finger on the magic of life.

Claude Bernard (1813-1878) "The terrain is everything the germ is nothing." And upon the death bed of Louis Pasteur admitting to Claude Bernard that he was right in 1895.
Antoine BeChamp (1816-1908) "Disease is born in us and from us."

Florence Nightingale - a famous nurse (1820 -1910) Mathias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann (1839) Gunther Enderlein ((1872- 1968) Walter B. Cannon (1871-1945) "Only by understanding the wisdom of the body shall we attain the mastery of disease and pain that will enable us to relieve the burden of the people."

Royal Raymond Rife (1888-1971)
Wilhelm Reich (1897 - 1957)
Gaston Naessans (1924-2005)

Philosophically speaking, Pasteur had an ally in Napoleon III, who came to power in 1852. The Emperor believed in a police state and in using complete control to rule. Pasteur's mechanistic idea of disease, finding the right cure for each germ, fit into this philosophy of control.

Giving the responsibility to the any government to cure disease is giving up control. It takes responsibility - and power - away from the individual. In the words of Antoine BeChamp, "there is nothing so false that does not contain some element of truth and so it is with the germ theory."

One of six of us will become diabetic
One of two of us will develop cancer
One of two of us will develop cardiovascular disease One of six couples will suffer from unexplained infertility.
One of seven women in the US will develop breast cancer.

We need to get out to the disease business. If we want to understand health, energy and vitality then we need to study the people who are healthy. Over the last 25 years I have been studying health and how it relates to the blood. Viewing live and dried blood is the pinnacle of understanding health and how to achieve health with alkaline foods, drinks, exercise, breathing, getting adequate rest, etc.

Now, I pray and hope that you will realize that we are all responsible for our own health - you alone. A medical practitioner can only help to relieve symptoms. Ultimately, you are the one who has to take charge. Health is a choice just as disease is a choice. You are responsible for what goes into your mouth and what comes out of your mouth, as well as for what you think, feel and do. Health is all about choices and consequences.

The health and energy of the human organism is the knowledge that are bodies are alkaline by design and acidic by function and the best way to maintain that alkaline design is through an alkaline lifestyle and diet.

What is the Cause of Cancer and Where Does it Begin?

During Week 2 of our Thursday night teleseminar we answered several questions. The following is an overview of those questons and answers.1) What is the origin of cancer or where does cancer begin?

Cancerous tissue, above all other consequences of choice, has countless secondary causes. But even for a cancerous condition there is only ONE PRIME ORIGIN and CAUSE.

I have simply summarized this origin and cause of cancerous tissue in a few words. The prime origin and cause of cancerous tissue is the over-acidification of the blood then the tissues due to lifestyle and dietary choices. A cancerous tissue begins with our choices of what we eat, what we drink, what we think and how we live. Cancer is a liquid and this liquid is a toxic waste product of metabolism or energy consumption.

In 1966, Dr. Otto Warburg, who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1931 for his discovery of the cause of cancer delivered a lecture at an annual meeting of Nobelists at Lindau, Germany. In his speech he described the primal cause of cancer as follows: "The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar.

All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation. All normal body cells are thus obligate aerobes, whereas all cancer cells are partial anaerobes. From the standpoint of the physics and chemistry of life this difference between nomal and cancer cells is so great that one can scarely picture a greater difference.

Oxygen gas, the donor of energy in plants and animals is dethroned in the cancer cells and replaced by an energy yielding reaction of the lowest living forms, namely, a fermentation of glucose."The following is a summary of understanding cancerous tissues:Cancer is not a cell but a poisonous acidic liquid.

A cancer cell, is a cell that has been spoiled or poisoned by metabolic or gastrointestinal acids.

A tumor is the body's protective mechanism to encapsulate spoiled or poisoned cells from excess acid that has not been properly eliminated through urination, perspiration, defecation or respiration. The tumor is the body's solution to protect healthy cells and tissues.

Cancer is a systemic acidic condition that settles at the weakest parts of the body -not a localized problem that metastases. Metastases is localized acids spoiling other cells much like a rotten apple spoiling a bushel of healthy apples.There is no such thing as a cancer cell.

A cancer cell was once a healthy cell that has been spoiled from acid.The tumor is not the problem but the solution to protect healthy cells and tissues from being spoiled from other rotting cells and tissues.The only solution to the acidic liquids that poison body cells causing the affect that medical savants call cancer is to alkalize and energize the body.

In conclusion, the human body is alkaline by design and acidic by function! If we desire a healthy body we must maintain that alkaline design.

2) Does diet and lifestyle have anything to do with cancer?

Absolutely! Cancer is not something we get it is something we do as a consequence of daily choice of what we eat, what we drink, what we think and how we live. We either have an alkaline lifestyle and diet and enjoy a fit and healthy body or we have an acidic lifestyle and diet and experience the aches, pains and suffering from metabolic acids.

The former US Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop, had this to say about diet:"YOUR CHOICE OF DIET CAN INFLUENCE YOUR LONG TERM HEALTH PROSPECTS MORE THAN ANY OTHER ACTION YOU MIGHT TAKE."

3) If cancer is preventable how do we prevent it?

I have said many times that the cure for cancerous tissue will not be found in its treatment but in its prevention. That prevention can only be obtained by making healthier lifestyle and dietary choices. A cancerous condition is the consequence of choice.

For example, if you want to reduce your risk for cancereous tissue of the lung by 100%, then stop smoking and stop associating or working around people that do smoke. Secondary smoke is just as acidic and damaging to the lung tissue. If don't want a cancerous liver then stop drinking alcohol and carbonated drinks. If you don't want a cancerous pancreas then stop eating the acid sugar. If you don't want a cancerous bowel then stop eating protein.

It is that simple. The following are a few research studies from around the world that substantiate my own findings:Study: Human study at Harbin Medical College in ChinaResults: CABBAGE was the most important single food in reducing the risk of stomach cancer

Study: Italian study on SmokersResults: Smokers who consumed GREEN LEAFY and other VEGETABLES had a THREE FOLD REDUCTION in their risk of lung cancer with smokers who rarely ate vegetables.Study: Hebel Cancer Institute in ChinaResults: GARLIC, ONION AND TOMATO had the ability to INHIBIT the CELL MUTATION caused by common chemotherapeutic drugs... this is based on conclusive evidence that chemotherapy drugs cause cell mutations and lead to other types of cancers later in life.

Study: Mayo Clinic
Results: Cancer patients receiving radiation therapy can benefit dramatically from optimal VEGETABLE based diets.
Study: University of Athens School of Medicine in Greece
Results: Women who consumed the LOWEST level of vegetables had 10 TIMES the rate of BREAST CANCER compared to women consuming the HIGHEST level of vegetables.

Study: Human study in AustraliaResults: Consumption of CABBAGE, CARROTS AND GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES substantial protection against COLON CANCER.Study: Aichi Cancer Institute of JapanResults: Eating VEGETABLES reduced the risk of CERVICAL and BREAST CANCER in women.

Study: Cancer Control Agency of British ColumbiaResults: Eating VEGETABLES dramatically reduced incidence of BREAST CANCER.

4) If I have cancer, such as colon, lung, or prostate cancer can I reverse it naturally?

The answer to this question is absolutely! Once you understand the cause of ALL cancerous tissues as latent tissue acidosis you can then begin the process of reversing, regenerating and preventing the consequences of acidic choices by making healthier alkaline choices. The protocol for a healthier and energetic body, free from all sickness and dis-ease, is found in Chapter Eleven of our latest book, "The pH Miracle for Weight Loss."In closing, I would like to share with you my vision of medicine in the 21st century.

My vision of the relative purpose of medicine is to include prevention of illness and promotion of health and fitness rather than focusing all our attention on the diagnosis and treatment of disease. I believe the ultimate purpose of medicine is to help people discover something fundamental within themselves.

And that is the awareness that the true source of well-being, joy, and contentment that we all seek lies within one's mind and heart - the emotions and the spirit - not in the physical world. This is important, so we can all begin to be freed from the process of grasping for happiness in this physical world.

To support this approach, I believe we must begin to embrace a more spiritual vision of ourselves and of humanity as a whole. While providing great love, care and attention to the physical body, medicine can then and only then can we help people discover the nonphysical, spiritual dimensions of themselves. When this happens, we can all live and work with less fear, stress, grasping to preserve the physical body at all costs - we can truly be free.

What is cancer?

Good to Know Information:Q&A from Dr. Young regarding: Cancer

1) What is Cancer? Cancer is an acidic liquid from metabolism that spoils and ferments the human cell.

2) Is cancer a mutant cell? NO. Human cells do not mutate they transform and adapt to their environment. Some of the stages ofthis transformation gives rise to the birth of bacteria, then yeastand finally mold.

3) Is cancer caused by a virus, bacteria, yeast or mold? No. Avirus, bacteria, yeast or mold are biological transformations ofwhat use to be an organized healthy cell. Germs are not the causeof disease but the evidence of an over-acidic environment.

4) What is the number two cause of death in women? This would becancerous breast tissue. When the blood is charged with metabolicacids that have not been properly eliminated they are thrown outinto the fatty tissues.

When acids are thrown out into the fatty breast tissue this causesspoiling of the breasts. To prevent the spoiling of the breaststhe body buffers these acids with calcium causing breast stones ormicro-calcifications.

If the spoiling continues the body will encapsulate the rottingbreast tissue forming a tumor to protect the healthy tissue. Calcifications and tumor formation is the body's way of protectingitself and the healthy tissue from toxic metabolic acids or fromsystemic spoiling.

5) What is the cause of prostate cancer? Prostate cancer is acondition of systemic acidosis that has localized in the prostategland. Prostate cancer is the spoiling or rotting of the prostategland form over acidity. There is no other cause.

6) Is cancer a noun or an adjective? There is no such thing as acancer cell -- there are only acidic or cancerous cells. The wordcancer does not explain the true nature of the cell and what ishappening. Cancer is an adjective not a noun. Cancer is somethingwe do not something we get! Cancerous tissue is an expression ofpoor acidic lifestyle and dietary choice. For example, if yousmoke, the acids from the smoke will spoil your lungs giving riseto cancerous lung tissue. If you eat the acid sugar it will spoilyour breasts or prostate.If you eat meat, the acids (nitric, uric, suphuric and phosphuric) from meat will spoil and rot your bowels giving rise to cancerousbowels.

7) Are tumors good or bad? Tumors are good and are helping toprotect healthy cells and tissues from cancerous or spoiled rottingcells and tissues. Just like one rotten apple will spoil a bushelof apples so one rotten acidic cell will spoil a bushel of healthycells. To stop the spoiling of cells from metabolic acids the bodyforms a tumor and encapsulates the spoiled cells as a protectionfor the healthy cells. All tumors are made from fibrin the samematerial that clots are blood so we don't bleed to death. Youcould say, tumors are saving life from acidic lifestyle and dietarychoices.

8) What role does the lymphatic system play in cancer? Thelymphatic system is responsible for removing excess acids in thetissues out through the pores of the skin through perspiration orback into blood circulation to be eliminated through urination. Ifyou want to be healthy you have to pee or sweat your way there!

***Japanese researchers found that workers on rotating shifts werefour times more likely to develop prostate cancer than thoseworking regular hours, whether on day or night shifts.Shift work has also been linked to an in creased risk of breast andbowel cancers.The study, which examined more than 14,000 workers over eightyears, also found that night shift workers were at a slightlyincreased risk of prostate cancer. Eighty percent of the workersstudied worked daytime hours, 7 percent worked nights, and about 13percent rotated their work schedules from night to day.The reason for the effects for in creased risk for breast, prostateand bowel cancer may be linked to the over acidic foods and drinksingested by night shift workers which will also affect theendocrine system which regulates the body's energy needs.

Patient Report - Carole Conquers Cancer - One Woman's Odyssey

by Carole Bradford
On March 25, 1993, Carole Bradford faced two key events in her life: she was turning a young-looking 53 - and she was to undergo a lumpectomy to remove what she hoped (indeed, prayed) was a benign cyst.

What else could it be? Certainly not the feared "C" word.

"I remember thinking what kind of cosmic joke it would be if I, Carole Bradford, would come down with breast cancer. No way, Jose!" she recalled.

Why should she not think this way?

After all, she was the hard-driving CEO of California-based American Biologics, an international bio-tech and nutritional supplement company whose origins dated back to the laetrile wars of the 1970s.

She "ate right," took up to 30 vitamin/mineral/enzyme tablets a day, and was fully aware of the nature of cancer.

Of equal or greater importance, she was the globe-trotting wife of Dr. Robert W. Bradford, the founder of American Biologics, the scientific director and co-founder of American Biologics-Mexico SA Medical Center in Tijuana, the co-founder of the Committee for Freedom of Choice in Cancer Therapy, (the reason for the nationwide "decriminalization'' moves for laetrile in the 1970s/1980s), the author or co-author of numerous books and scores of research monographs on the metabolic management of cancer and degenerative diseases, the primary author of the "Primordial Thesis of Cancer." the reason behind the textbook delineating Oxidology as a medical subspecialty, and, of more recent vintage, the pioneer/developer and worldwide patent holder of the Bradford Variable Projection Microscopy system (BVPM¨) and the two revolutionary peripheral blood tests HLB and HRBM (LBA) he developed that assess morphological changes in the blood as a means of evaluation of balanced body chemistry (homeostasis).

Carole Bradford had circumnavigated the globe more than once as the good right arm of Robert Bradford, and had sat in on as many or more scientific sessions on cancer, degenerative disease and microscopy lectures as any licensed professional. She knew cancer intimately: it was in her family, among her friends. She knew what it was, what it could do.

"I had had cysts for several years, so had my mother, and my grandmother had died of breast cancer. But there was something different about this lump," she recalled. "I could feel this one easily, since it was growing fast - and it was associated with a lot of heat."

She remembered some "orthodox" miscues along the way:
Three years before, in 1990, she had been at the American Biologics (AB) hospital for her annual three-day trip for rejuvenation treatment: some live cells, chelation, blood work, Dioxychlor "drips." She had a breast cyst at the time and she recalled that a staff surgeon had encouraged her to have a needle biopsy, "just to make sure."

"Of course I can't be sure, but I think that is what they would call 'the initial insult.' I don't feel right about biopsies and I'll never do one again," she said.
Carole Bradford now believes that she was incubating a malignant process in a minimally active state at least since that time (1990) but was keeping it under control with her disciplined diet and supplements.

By January 1993, this fast-growing cyst had her worried. She did another "orthodox" procedure - an ultrasound assay of the right breast. The ultrasound spotted an area of inflammation but the official analysis was that it was just another cyst.

Because she was so busy at the office she did not feel she could take the time away from her duties to have the cyst removed then. So she waited three months until her birthday, March 25, 1993, to have the lumpectomy, which she undertook while wide awake and following the procedure with keen interest. "When I saw the tumor in the operating room I exclaimed "God - that's big!" The tumor was 4cm x 4-1/2 cm x 3.8 cm plus extra tissue taken - it looked like a golfball.

After five days, Carole Bradford went back to her routine: long hours (up to 12 deskside) at her American Biologics office in Chula Vista, California, with endless telephone calls, constant involvement in the routine operation of a thriving business and all that went with it, with scant time available to enjoy her beautiful sprawling ranch in east San Diego County.

Two weeks later, on April 9, she was sitting at her desk when Robert Bradford entered her office. He had just been on the phone with Rodrigo Rodriguez, MD, the veteran medical director of the AB-Mexico hospital. He in turn had already heard from the University of Minnesota Hospital and Clinic Department of Surgical Pathology, where the lumpectomy sections had been sent.

Carole Bradford, remembered it well:
"Bob came in and sat down in front of my desk. His behavior was very calm. He just said it all at once: it was confirmed that I had breast cancer. It was a 'high-grade infiltrating ductal cell carcinoma of the right breast, Bloom-Richardson grade 3.' So I'm just sitting there trying to take it all in. Not an easy moment.

"But within two minutes I was asking Bob to check my blood on the microscope. I wanted to see what my blood looked like. And I needed to see it for myself."

"But I never had this feeling of, 'Why me - 'Why not me?' I'd been through this with enough patients to know not to be too negative, even if the information was tough to take. I do remember one thought, looking back, that really sank in: being who I was, and what we were involved in, how could I not pull through? I didn't sleep very well that first night, though. It was really a rude awakening."
Working side-by-side for years with me
dical maverick Robert Bradford, she had come to have enormous admiration for him and all that he had done, particularly in helping to get the "AB" hospital functioning in Tijuana. He and the old nucleus group of the activist Committee for Freedom of Choice in Cancer Therapy Inc., had formed the first Bradford-oriented medical center in 1975 (Cydel Clinic later called Manner Clinic).
"I thought, 'Of course I'll pull through this. My God, haven't we all been working for this? Don't we have the best therapies and techniques available? Does anyone know more about cancer than we do?' I decided then and there I was going to do everything to beat this thing. I was lucky. I had access to every conceivable cancer therapy.

I was well backgrounded in the subject matter, and I had a brilliant husband who would be directing my treatment in every way."

The Bradfords' general belief is that the earlier signs of a possible malignant process were masked because Carole was nutritionally doing all the right things. But between her rejuvenation visits and blood analyses several things had happened:

Both were travelling extensively to Europe and China, where there has been a major effort to use the Bradford microscopy system and blood tests as therapeutic modalities. Too, Carole was taking very personally some personnel upheavals at work.

"I'm not trying to make excuses here," she said. "But I am saying that I was extremely stressed by these problems. Aside from that, until the diagnosis came like a proverbial knock on the head, my favorite place was my desk and I spent a great deal of time there. In retrospect, I can only think now that the needle biopsy of 1990 and this personnel problem in late 1992 were what it took to knock over the dominoes and bring my malignancy to the fore."

The "coagulation" blood test (HLB) did in fact pick up areas of suspicious inflammation, adrenal stress and bowel flora imbalances.

The AB hospital had become a major center for the use of another test - AMAS, or the test for antimalignin antibody, preformed in Boston; and the five-parameter Augusti test, pioneered in France by Dr. Yves Augusti, a collaborator of the Bradford Research Institute (BRI). Neither has received the full blessings of the US medical establishment, but the AB hospital and BRI incorporate both as useful monitors.


Admitted to the AB hospital the day before the scheduled lumpectomy, Carole Bradford's Augusti test had shown a suspicious rise in the "allergic" parameter, frequent in cancer cases. The AMAS test was slightly "positive." Later, from medical orthodoxy, a breast cancer "marker," CA 15-3, turned out to be very high.

"Okay, the results were in. It was cancer, no doubt about that, and it was happening to me, Carole Bradford," she recalled.

"So I decided to take charge of my illness and created with Bob my own injectable program, what we later came to call the 'Bradford cocktail.' I had a hospital at my disposition, and a collaborating medical staff. I could have anything done I wanted to."

AB-Mexico's primary claim to fame, by 1993, was already in the cancer department. Since creation of the original AB medical group in 1975 and the opening of American Biologics-Mexico in 1980, the AB team had seen upwards of 18,000 cancer cases. It was securing some kind of positive responses in 95% and reaching what American orthodox oncology described as a "cure" - meaning five years free of symptoms - in at least 20%, a remarkable feat at a time when metastatic, or "spread" cancer, was "curable" in the US about 9% of the time.

Carole Bradford then began her incredible treatment odyssey. But it began with an attitude change:

"I knew I was going to have to spend a long time away from my desk, resting in one of our recliner treatment chairs at AB-Mexico. I was going to have to learn to relax, read books, watch television, whatever. After the first week of this, I told myself, 'Hey, this isn't too bad now.' Several weeks later I began to play tennis on a more regular basis, to swim, took Spanish language classes, and really began working on getting de-stressed.

"This was the beginning of healing and I have to add that, thank God, I was never in pain. I did not have to go through the horrors of awful pain that I have seen and heard about from so many patients."

Carole Bradford was an "outpatient" at the AB Medical Center at least four times a week, returning to her desk at Chula Vista for only a few hours in the afternoons. "Suddenly, I found I didn't really need to spend all those hours at the desk. All that paperwork was somehow getting done by able staff members and it became less all-consuming to me," she remembered.

"I kept a record of my visits to the clinic for my injections, like a score card and after 100 injection days I stopped counting. Now that is a lot of injections." Her daily program consisted of:

In the first "drip bag" she received: 9 grams Laetrile, 25 grams of vitamin C, 10 cc of GE-OXY 132 (germanium sesquioxide), 10 cc of reduced glutathione, 5 cc of pangamic acid, 16 mg of superoxide dismutase (SOD), 10 cc of NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine), 2 cc of thymus extract, 5 cc of licorice extract (Biorizin), 10 cc of taurine, 3 grams of sodium butyrate, and 20 cc of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide).

In her second "drip bag" she received 100 cc saline with 10 cc of Dioxychlor, the oxidative agent pioneered by the BRI.

Her oral program, which reached up to 100 tablets or capsules daily during 1993, consisted of around 30 items: liquid Vitamin A in the form of A-E emulsion (200,000 units), between 15 to 20 grams of Vitamin C, proteolytic enzymes in the form of the AB product Inflazyme Forte, antioxidant enzymes and other substances in the form of the AB product Oxy-5000, Acidophilus/lactobacillus combinations as Bio-Dophilus Complex, co-enzyme Q10, three different combinations of "omega" fatty acids, spleen glandular, adrenal glandular, a combination of vitamins/minerals/nutrients as AB's Multiplex, shark cartilage, selenium, licorice extract (Glycyron), Basic 9 minerals complex, thymus glandular, GE-132 oral (germanium sesquioxide), laetrile (amygdalin tablets), benzaldehyde, mammary glandular, beta-carotene, herbal specialty products called Coleus forskohlu, Ascorfutaruplex, Lapachoplex (from the South American pau d'arco therapy), homeopathic burdock root, chitin (crab extract) and apricot kernels (a natural high source of laetrile and other useful nutrients.)

She also took a combination of homeopathic injectable extracts from the pioneering Heel Company of Europe which consisted of 12 separate products including mistletoe extract (Iscador, from Viscum album).

And that was not all:
For 90 days daily, and then once or twice a week for many more months, she utilized treatments by another Bradford-pioneered breakthrough:

ACN (Accelerated-Charge Normalization), which alters the negative tissue potential usually found in breast cancer to the normal or positive potential characteristic of breast tissue without cancer.

By establishing a positive tissue potential, immune cells, being negatively charged, are attracted to the malignant site and greatly enhance the body's immune response against cancer.
In addition to the obvious therapeutic advantage there is also a diagnostic or assessment advantage in measuring the tissue potential which can be related to tumor activity.

In Carole's case, the tumor's negative charge exceeded 200 millivolts. This is over 100 thousand times the potential required to repel the immune system's macrophages from the breast tumor. In other words, her body did not recognize there was an ongoing malignancy. Amazingly, it took over nine months of integrative therapy for the potential in her breast to normalize.

Also "working" was Carole Bradford's adherence to the anti-cancer diet long followed at AB-Mexico and also detailed in the recipe book she co-authored with Beverly Novak: Cookbook for Healthful Living.

"Another reason we dared not fail," she said. "It would be bad press! If we couldn't save me, then who could?"

Within a six-month period, most all her blood tests were turning back to normal. "The only orthodox things I ever did in my cancer program were the lumpectomy and yes, tamoxifen. It was suggested that I needed this, particularly against breast cancer. But I took this only for about 60 days.

"I just knew that it was doing something abnormal when I began having daily cervical discharges. So after two months, I said, 'No more.' I would never do it again. Some things are just intuitive in nature and you have to listen to your body! Once again, I was taking charge of my health, not the doctors."

(It would subsequently be learned that, however useful tamoxifen might be in the short term against breast cancer, it increases a woman's risk of both endometriosis and cervical cancer. It still remains an optional treatment within an integrative program.)

In May of 1993 she allowed a follow-up mammogram of her left breast since AB doctors had noticed abnormal tissue and feared that the cancer had spread.

"I have my doubts about mammograms too. I wouldn't do them again, either. Squeezing the breast into a vise can't be any good. And it seems barbaric," she assessed.

(Some research, particularly in Canada, has sustained her fears: clamping breasts into a vise for a mammogram can indeed have the effect of damaging tissues and enhancing an existing malignant process, at least in some cases.)

"Doctors, including some of our own, kept pestering me about using chemotherapy, because of a suspicious lesion in the left breast showing up in the mammography. One doctor insisted I have a needle biopsy of the left breast. Re-thinking what happened with the initial needle biopsy in 1990, I refused.
"Weeks later, the surgeon came to me as I sat in the treatment room and waved his finger in my face, telling me, 'You have a fast-growing tumor and you're not taking it seriously. You could die.' He had suggested a double mastectomy or at least a 'quad.' I rejected all of this.

"I remember saying, 'We're a holistic hospital, we've been in this business for 20 years now and that's what we're all about. I believe that's what is best for me and we must prove that we're right.' Maybe the big thing is that I never accepted the fact that I might die of cancer. I said in essence, "We're into holistic/integrative therapy. This is what we're all about."

But she was also aware of the developing doctrine of the true nature of cancer: it is not a tumor, but a malignant process; it is not "curable" in the sense that all aspects of it vanish forever; it is susceptible to long-term control, even for the whole of a lifetime. But you don't "get over" cancer and follow the same lifestyle as before. The key word is "control" - not "cure."

"I am a very disciplined person. I said on more than one occasion to my husband when he would forget to take his 'few' vitamins; 'It's a good thing I'm the one who has cancer - because of the discipline necessary to stay on the program.' I was able to stick with the program," she recalled.
Carole Bradford did stick with the program. Year in and year out, one blood test after another, reducing her oral program back to 30 tablets or more, occasionally taking "drips," even cramming 12,000-gauss magnets into her brassiere as a daily kind of localized magnetic therapy, in conjunction with ACN.

Now the magic date was looming; March of 1998 - if she had five years free of symptoms, she would be "cured" by the definition of standard Western oncology.

"Even though we in holistic medicine perhaps laugh at the premise that after exactly the fifth year you're instantly 'cured,' the mind still plays games with you and for me, even though I had been completely healthy for the past perhaps 3 years, I still celebrated the fact," She remembered.

Carole had another birthday - March 25, 1998 - with a series of health assessments and blood tests. Her birthday gift this year was the best of all:

She was certifiably free of cancer!

The pH Miracle. Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health

By Bob McCauley

I recently read The pH Miracle. Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health and found several points to disagree with in the book, which has recently become very popular. Dr. Young has done great work and I have a lot of respect for him and many of his concepts on health. However my areas of disagreement with him are profound because they refer to critical components of human health. We disagree on several other minor points such as the fact that he doesn't encourage us to exercise, but others cannot go unchallenged because they are misguided in the most fundamental way.

In my opinion, Dr. Young should reconsider his position on the following stances:
Dr. Young promotes the consumption of fish, which is a problem for two reasons. First, almost everyone cooks the fish they eat. Cooked foods acidify the body and lead to nearly all disease.

However, even if fish is consumed raw such as with sushi, it has become extremely laden with heavy metals, in particular mercury. The US pumps 40 million tons of methyl-mercury into the atmosphere, China over 300 million tons and Russia reportedly even more. Because of this, mercury has accumulated in fish, especially larger species such as Tuna, Albacore, Sword and Shark. Heavy metals are replete throughout our environment, having accumulated because of industrialization over the last 200 years.

Cooked animal protein is one of the leading causes of disease. Eating raw meat, fish, eggs and dairy is not a health hazard as long as it is organic, non-medicated and disease free. The higher we eat on the food chain, the more concentrated the toxins we consume because animals have hundreds and sometimes thousands of meals that contain toxins that become concentrated in the flesh of the fish, animal or the milk and eggs they produce. When we consume animal flesh, we are consuming those concentrated toxins found in the animals. Because of these reasons, I would never suggest anyone eat fish.

Dr. Young promotes a diet that is only 80% raw, 20% cooked. He offers many cooked food recipes in the back of his book, something I would never do. People don't need to be tempted with cooked foods, nor instructed on how to make them in delicious ways. Of course, I want people to be eat as many raw foods as they possibly can. If someone is only able reach 20% raw foods in their diet, it is better than nothing.

On the other hand, I encourage everyone to strive for a diet of 100% raw foods. Most of us won't reach that goal. It has taken me many years of hard work to reach a 99% raw food diet. When I first started eating raw foods, I believed that 20% of our diet should be comprised of cooked foods, mostly starchy carbohydrates such as rice or potatoes. But after four years of eating that way, I eventually realized that chronic disease does not exist in the wild not because those animals who live disease free do so on a 100% raw food diet, not 80%.

There are others who promote less than a 100% raw food diet, but they do so in ignorance. Or perhaps they want to rationalize their inability to reach a 100% raw food diet. It is very difficult to achieve that goal, but that is no excuse for promoting anything less. It may appear to be a practical approach to encourage people to eat cooked foods, but that will only encourage and sustain their addiction to cook foods.

It is no different than offering an alcoholic a beer occasionally because you think they need it. Giving an alcoholic a drink is encouraging alcoholism in that person and suggesting anyone eat cooked foods is telling them to engage in an activity that prematurely ages us and leads to all disease. If you do suggest anyone eat cooked foods under any circumstances, then you are an enabler. People often will ask me which cooked foods are healthy and I answer that none of them are. And as to which raw foods are healthy, they all are, which is why I promote a 100% raw food diet and attempt to eat that way each and every day.

Dr. Young states that “spirulina and algae supplements . . . thrive in acid conditions and . . . are the scum you see growing on the surface of stagnant ponds and lakes.” While you may find algae mixed with scum growing on a pond, it is not scum itself and should not be confused with it. There are over 70,000 species of algae and most are quite nutritious. I quite often hear nutritionists and dietitians refer to algae as pond scum and it demonstrates a profound ignorance about some of the most powerful foods on Earth. They regurgitate this ignorance of the facts because that is what they are taught during their college years and they have never bothered to research it themselves. It does not take a lot of research to discover the truth about the miraculous health properties of certain species of algae. Dr. Young also states that algae are drawn from natural sources such as lakes.

All the Spirulina and Chlorella found on the market is grown in a controlled environment in ponds and not harvest in lakes such as Klamath Blue Green Algae, which is sold under various brand names. He also states that the vitamin B12 derived from algae is “made by bacteria that get into the algae via bird feathers and droppings. ” Spirulina and Chlorella naturally contain the entire vitamin B-Complex, including B-12.

The body will not easily assimilate vitamin B-12 when it is not consumed from a natural food that contains the entire vitamin B-Complex, such as Spirulina and Chlorella. Dr. Young also suggests that broccoli and algae are equally nutritious, which is an absurd notion. “Fortunately, a day's dose of algae differs little from a serving of organic broccoli, so you can reap the benefits without facing the risks.” A nutritional analysis of broccoli will show it to be a food that contains a very narrow range of enzymes and other organic chemical nutrients that are particular to that food. Nutritional analyses of either Spirulina or Chlorella reveal them to be the two most nutritional foods known. They contain the broadest array of nutrients and are the most nutritionally dense foods known.

They also happen to be the two most scientifically researched foods in human history. 4. Dr. Young also promotes the consumption of soy. Soy is rarely consumed raw unless it is sprouted. Nearly all soybeans are eaten after they are processed into tofu, textured protein or fermented into foods such as tempeh. Once you have cooked or processed any food, you have altered its natural chemical structure. Heat is a chemical reagent that radically alters anything it comes in contact with, including the foods we consume.

The energy footprint of soy is unlike any other food we commonly consume. All raw foods contain negatively spinning ions, which are advantageous to our health and in fact are an absolute necessity if we want to be healthy. However, soy contains positively spinning ions, which are counter productive to our health, as are all positively charged particles. There are plenty of other problems with soy and its negative effects on the body, such as it produces a lot of gas for many who consume it. Other digestive problems often disappear when soy is removed from their diet, including infants.

Processed soy products are rich in phytohemaglutinin (PHG), a glue-like substance that unbalances body chemistry, slows circulation and thickens the blood, numbing the immune and nervous systems. Enzyme inhibitors found in soy interfere with the action of trypsin, a digestive enzyme that breaks down protein. Soy also contains goitrogens, which suppress thyroid functions; phytic acid, which can block the absorption of essential minerals such as calcium, copper, magnesium, iron and zinc in the intestinal tract. The high amount of manganese found in soy-based infant formulas, 200 times that of breast milk, can cause brain damage in babies and a slowing of brain functions in children.

One study concluded that the last thing women should do to prevent breast cancer is to consume soy. Another study showed accelerated brain aging in those who regularly consumed soy. Women who are pregnant should avoid soy because of the risk of breast cancer. Soy has also been linked to pancreatic cancer. Soy can slow sexual performance because isoflavones interfere with estrogen function. In one major study, Asian men who ate tofu increased their chances of getting Alzheimer’s Disease. “Soy can be used as a transition food to move away from meat and other animal protein to plant protein, that of Spirulina and Chlorella. But once that bridge has been crossed, it must be burned and soy should be completely avoided.”

5. Lastly Dr. Young offers rather confusing advice regarding the most important component of human health, that of water. “Getting liberal amounts of alkaline water (having a pH between 9 and 11) neutralizes stored acid wastes and, if consumed every day in conjunction with a good diet, gently removes the acids from the body.” This is essentially true and I agree with Dr. Young, although I don’t recommend drinking water with a pH over 9.9 because it has become too caustic at that level. Ironically, Dr. Young promotes consuming purified water produced by distillation or reverse osmosis. He claims: “Distilled water comes closest to rain water, which, if our atmosphere wasn’t so polluted, would be the ideal source of water.” Distilled water is not anything like rain water. Rain water is full of oxygen and crystallizes into snow flakes unlike distilled water which has no crystalline structure.

Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese researcher, first introduced the concept of micro-cluster water molecule clusters. Using Magnetic Resonance Analysis, he demonstrated that water which had been distilled, polluted or passed through the body after consumption had lost its structure or inner order. It has been changed beyond its natural structure the same way cooking foods changes the natural chemical structure of food.

The water found in plants is quite similar to distilled water in its purity. However, when we consume a plant such as a carrot, we do not only consume the water, but the whole plant as well, thus the water is buffered by the alkaline nature of minerals and enzymes of the plant. But to extract that water and consume it without neutralizing its purity and acidic nature, our body becomes the buffering agent and alkaline minerals are leached from it.

I have written extensively in both my books about the dangers of drinking purified water. “[purified] water – like rainwater—have more oxygen atoms or hydroxyl ions (OH-), and fewer hydrogen ions (H+). More hydrogen makes water acidic.” Purified water is acidic, yet Dr. Young prescribes drinking both purified and alkaline water. Ionized Water and purified water are the exact opposite from one another in every way.

Purified water is acid; Ionized Water is alkaline. Purified water leaves the body dehydrated; Ionized Water is extremely hydrating. Purified water leaches minerals from the body; Ionized Water provides minerals to the body. Purified water does not provide the body with oxygen; Ionized Water does. Purified water does not scavenge for free radicals; Ionized Water does. Purified water encourages oxidation of the body; Ionized Water reduces oxidation. On the other hand, Dr. Young seems to promote ionized water and even helps promote a water ionizer.

If Dr. Young wishes to be considered someone who promotes true health, he needs to re-examine some of the basic tenants of his ideas about health, particularly those I have outlined in this article.
