Four cups of coffee a day could help keep womb cancer at bay

2011-11-23T09:46:00.000+02:00

Research has linked regular consumption with lower odds of endometrial cancer, the most common form of the disease.

Women who drank four or more cups a day over many years were 25 per cent less likely to develop the disease than those who limited themselves to less than a cup daily.

Both caffeinated and decaffeinated varieties seemed to help ward off the disease, although tea had no effect, the 26-year study of almost 70,000 women found.

Drunk regularly, coffee may help lower levels of hormones believed to fuel the cancer, the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention reports. Endometrial cancer affects 6,400 British women a year in the UK and kills an estimated 1,000 annually.

Risk goes up with age, weight and with having a mother who had the disease.

The researchers, from Harvard School of Public Health in the U.S., said: ‘Increasing exercise and maintaining normal body weight are probably the most important ways to prevent endometrial cancer.

‘However, additional strategies are needed and dietary habits such as coffee drinking could provide one option.’ They cautioned that adding cream and sugar to the beverage may cancel out the effects, as may smoking.

A total of 672 cases of the cancer, which affects the lining of the uterus, were reported over the 26-year span of the study.

Senior researcher Edward Giovannucci said coffee could help against cancers associated with obesity, insulin and oestrogen, and that it had been shown to improve insulin resistance.

He said: ‘Coffee has already been shown to be protective against diabetes due to its effect on insulin, so we hypothesised that we’d see a reduction in some cancers as well.’

Professor Giovannucci added: ‘Laboratory testing has found that coffee has much more antioxidants than most vegetables and fruits.’

Women with high cholesterol live longer, have fewer heart attacks and strokes!

2011-10-28T12:01:00.000+02:00

by Mike Adams

If the diagnosis of high cholesterol sounds like a death sentence to your ears, you may be the victim of cholesterol propaganda. It's not uncommon to believe that lower is better when it comes to cholesterol, but new research shows otherwise. In fact, a recent study in Norway says women with high cholesterol live longer and suffer from fewer heart attacks and strokes than those with lower cholesterol.

Can high cholesterol save your life?

Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology looked at 52,087 individuals between the ages of 20 and 74. After adjusting for factors like age, smoking and blood pressure, researchers found women with high cholesterol (more than 270 mg/dl) had a 28 percent lower mortality risk than women with low cholesterol (under 193 mg/dl). Risk for heart disease, cardiac arrest and stroke also declined as cholesterol levels rose.

The researchers involved in the study admit this contradicts commonly accepted beliefs about cholesterol. They say current guideline information is misleading because the role of cholesterol in heart disease is overestimated.

These results fly in the face of what most of us have been told about cholesterol. Our misconceptions about cholesterol may in fact be endangering countless lives. For instance, millions of people are prescribed statin drugs to lower their cholesterol levels, believing that this will save their lives. Not only do statin drugs come with a plethora of dangerous side effects, but now the very premise of their existence is also brought into question.

Our focus on lowering cholesterol to prevent heart disease and mortality is misplaced. It also fails to serve in the best interest of our health and wellness. In fact, the dogmatic belief that cholesterol must be lowered appears to best serve pharmaceutical companies, which profit from cholesterol-lowering drugs.

Better results will be achieved when we develop a more well-rounded focus on other risks for heart disease, which include stress, toxins, a sedentary lifestyle and a poor diet. As an added bonus, these factors aren't treated with dangerous pharmaceutical drugs, but with simple, healthful lifestyle changes.

Meeting the owner of Biostrath

2011-08-29T23:06:00.000+02:00

Asara wine estate & Hotel

As I have said before, meeting a legend is a true privilege. In this case it was a legendary product. S. A. Natural products invited me and a few other guests to a lovely breakfast at Asara wine estate, to meet the owner of the Biostrath company, celebrating 50years of Biostrath as a world wide commercial product.

In the 1950s, as a result of poor health caused by Meniere's disease, Fred Pestalozzi, the founder of the company, became aware of a natural product containing a special combination of herbs and yeast. After taking the food supplement for three months he had completely recovered and was able to return to work.

This personal experience and his interest in nature prompted him to find out more about this product. He contacted its inventor, Dr. phil. chem. Walter Strathmeyer, and visited him in Germany. A close friendship developed from these meetings, culminating in the German Strathmeyer presenting his friend with the recipe and licence so that Fred Pestalozzi could spread the "miracle potion" among the people.

This was the moment when the Bio-Strath products were born. In 1961, he set up Bio-Strath AG, based in Zürich and Herrliberg, Switzerland.

Today, the plant's output, amounting to some 1.3 million units per year, is automatically bottled, labelled, packed and prepared for dispatch to destinations at home and abroad. With three sales representatives covering the whole of Switzerland, the company employs a total of 15 members of staff.

In Switzerland and in some other countries the name Bio-Strath has been changed into Strath Food Supplements (liquid, Tablets, Drops) and Strath Remedies.

We started using Biostrath about 5 years ago, when I learned of it. At first I was (like many) concerned that it was a yeast extract and that it would thus promote yeast infections. Well when I saw the studies that showed that Biostrath actually KILLS yeasts, I gave it a try. We have been using it ever since, and have virtually eliminated the common colds and flu from our home.

Biostrath is a good old fashioned TONIC for everyone. I use it on a daily basis in consultations with the many clients I consult, and I get really great results with it.

Christo Lues, owner Eirene Health and David Pestalozzi owner of Biostrath

David Pestalozzi, the current owner of the family business, told us that he has been given, and subsequently have been taking Biostrath since birth! Biostrath is safe in most any medical condition. It is also an ideal supplement for strengthening pregnant or lactating mothers, babies and children as well as the hardworking business owner.

Help, I have Blood Pressure and Cholesterol!

2011-08-15T09:33:00.001+02:00

By Christo Lues

This seems to be one of the biggest problems of our day! Most people that I consult with on a daily basis is on blood pressure and cholesterol medicine.

From medical aids to life insurance to doctors to friends want to know what your cholesterol level is.

If you walk into your local convenience shop, you find it very hard to buy anything that’s not labeled “Low-Fat” or “Fat-Free” or “Cholesterol Free”

Fat has become the ultimate culprit of the post modern food world.

It is not the intention of this article to discuss the origin of this notion, but rather to point the way for the future.

Does consuming fat clog up our arteries?

The following is on the front page of The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics:

For decades, enormous human and financial resources have been wasted on the cholesterol campaign, more promising research areas have been neglected, producers and manufacturers of animal food all over the world have suffered economically, and millions of healthy people have been frightened and badgered into eating a tedious and flavorless diet or into taking potentially dangerous drugs for the rest of their lives. As the scientific evidence in support of the cholesterol campaign is non-existent, we consider it important to stop it as soon as possible.

The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics (THINCS) is a steadily growing group of scientists, physicians, other academicians and science writers from various countries. Members of this group represent different views about the causation of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, some of them are in conflict with others, but this is a normal part of science. What we all oppose is that animal fat and high cholesterol play a role. The aim with this website is to inform our colleagues and the public that this idea is not supported by scientific evidence; in fact, for many years a huge number of scientific studies have directly contradicted it.

So what does this mean?

Does this mean that avoiding saturated animal fat, eggs, low fat milk, fat free milk, fatty meat, organ meats etc. will not benefit you?

Does it mean that your Specialist Doctor who puts you on a cholesterol lowering diet wrong?

Well let me try and explain the dilemma with the current cholesterol treatment model.

It all starts in the saliva. Yes, in your mouth. I am talking about the pH of your body. When the pH of your saliva drops to acid (below 7) it means that the water between your body tissue cells become acid. When this situation continues for any length of time the cell will start malfunctioning and disease may set in.

We may all be familiar with one such acid borne symptom. If you’ve done strenuous exercise and experience stiff or sore muscles the next day, it’s due to a build up of lactic acid in the muscle tissues. Because the arteries in your body is also made from muscle tissue, they too may become too acid, much like the muscles in your legs for instance.

Lets say you were to stretch that stiff leg muscle too much, it will actually tear! This is of coarse very painful.

The same happens when we “stretch” an artery. This may happen when you end up behind a taxi in traffic or standing in a slow moving line at the post office. Because of these, umm, stressful situations, you may experience a sudden constriction of the arteries, increasing your blood pressure to fight off the eminent enemy in front of you.

In order for these arteries to constrict, the muscle tissue forming the arteries contracts and thus a higher pressure is the result. Now, if those artery muscle tissues happened to be too acid, a small tear may be the result of the sudden constriction. This may result in a microscopic tear in the artery wall. As a result there is a small leak of blood from the artery.

When this happens the body springs to action. Bleeding is serious and if left unattended can have catastrophic consequences. So, to plug the “hole” the body gets some fibrous material from the liver called fibrinogen. It uses this much like you would plug the hole in a fiber-glass boat, this being the fiber. Secondly for “cement” it draws calcium from the bones to strengthen the patch. Lastly, to make sure there is no leak, it puts a sealant over the patch, called; “bad cholesterol” or Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL).

Low density means it can float on-top of something else. This means that the so called bad LDL will float on top until it gets to the point of where it’s needed, and then attach to the inside of the artery wall to seal the patch. A miracle just occurred, your life was saved!

However, when your specialist doctor, called a Cardiologist, opens you up to find blocked arteries, he blames the patches for blocking your arteries, and puts you an anti-patch medicine called, statins!

You may ask why he would do such a thing? Well see, it’s all about cholesterol, in fact it’s all about the “bad LDL cholesterol.”

When your artery tissues are acid, like I explained above, you don’t just form one little hole, you may have thousands! In order to seal off these thousands of microscopic holes, you need a lot of “sealant” or LDL cholesterol.

So, when your clever doc tests your blood, sure enough, he will see the higher levels of patch material, or LDL or “bad cholesterol” Bad for saving your life!

As the arteries hardens due to prolonged acidity, you may have more and more of these “patches” being formed. You may even have total blockage of certain arteries. This is serious, but it is certainly NOT the fault of the “bad” patching material - LDL!

In fact, as the artery walls hardens over time, due to high acid levels, you may even find yourself with a whole new condition - high blood pressure!

High blood pressure then results from the hardened arteries not being able to contract or relax, the action whereby it regulates the blood’s pressure.

So, you mean that the whole cholesterol thing is a lie we are being fed by pharmaceutical companies sponsoring adverts and doctors conventions? Well, one recent study by Dr Malcolm Kendrick showed that the people with the lowest cholesterol (Australian Aborigines) has about thirty times higher cardiovascular disease as Britten, in fact the highest on the planet. The Swiss with the highest average cholesterol levels have the lowest incidence of CVD in the WORLD!

So, you decide…

What about the medication given for cholesterol? Well, one good source of information on the effect of “Statins” (Cholesterol medicine) is a book called “Did your Doctor tell you?” by Prof. Willem Serfontein. On pg. 27 he lists just a few possible side effects of taking statins, among them are; Increased Cancer risk, Suppression of insulin levels (Called diabetes), weakening of the heart muscle, Immune malfunction, Peripheral nerve damage AND Increased cardiovascular risk!! Some others that he does not list may include loss of memory, burning feet, dementia and loss of sex drive. Good stuff this...

What can you do about it?

The best thing you can do, is to get your body pH tested. Remember, this is NOT your stomach acid. It’s the pH of your intercellular fluid.

Once you have this value tested, you can start acting on correcting this value to an optimal level of 7.5. As your acid level drops, your body can regain it’s optimal level of functionality, and start repairing itself.

Certain supplements may help the body regain its optimal healthy level much more effectively. Amongst these are Omega 3 with Alkoxyglycerol and Squaline added, Coral Calcium to help achieve a good pH, and a complex of anti-oxidants.

The Gullible Mind Explained

2011-05-10T14:30:00.000+02:00

By Mike Adams (Edited by Christo Lues)

(NaturalNews) In light of the string of the blatant falsehoods being announced by the U.S. government these days (FDA, DHS, White House, etc.) it's interesting that so many people still believe whatever they are told by "official" sources. It brings up the question of the functioning of their brains: How could a person swallow official information so gullibly and so completely without even asking commonsense questions about the reliability or factual basis of that information?

These people, it turns out, are operating from what I called The Gullible Mind. It is a psychological processing malfunction that filters out information based on its source rather than its integrity. People who operate from The Gullible Mind tend to have misplaced trust in governments, institutions, mainstream news networks, doctors, scientists or anyone who wears the garb of apparent authority.

Whereas a normal, intelligent person would raise commonsense questions about information they receive from all sources, the Gullible Mind wholly accepts virtually any information from sources that occupy the role of apparent authority in society.

Governments never lie

But how does this work inside their heads? It's an interesting process. Gullible Mind people do believe it is possible for a government (or institution) to lie; but they believe that governments, institutions and doctors choose NOT to lie even when it would serve their own self interests to do so.

Follow this carefully, because this is the fascinating part. These Gullible Mind people effectively believe that even though a government official could lie about something, they would never actually do so. And why wouldn't they? Because, ultimately, the Gullible Mind crowd believes that governments, institutions and mainstream media outlets operate from a sort of honor code. So even if it were in the interests of our own government to lie to us, it would never happen because that would violate this imaginary honor code.

Where does this honor code exist? Where is it written down? Nowhere, of course. It is imaginary. But to The Gullible Mind, it seems real. Interestingly, even though this "honor code" only exists in the imagination of The Gullible Mind person, they project this honor code onto sources of authority, imagining that they abide by it.

Extreme gullibility

This is how The Gullible Mind person believes that network news always reports the truth. The news networks have a sense of "honor," they believe, and this sense of honor requires them to always report the truth and never manipulate the news for any nefarious purposes. So news networks never "shape" the news and they only report what is factually true without any consideration whatsoever of politics or advertiser profits.

This view of the world is, of course, laughably naive. And yet it is the core belief system of at least half the population -- the Gullible Mind half that believes everything it is told by its own government, media or authority figures.

Interestingly, the Gullible Mind is also inwardly gullible because it does not recognize its own gullibility. Instead, it believes it is operating as a Rational Mind. This false Rational Mind believes it functions as a critical filter of incoming information, but even this is self deception. In truth, this false Rational Mind is on "auto filter" so that it filters out any information that conflicts with the information it is receiving from official sources.

This is the key to understanding the Gullible Mind -- it isn't the quality of the information itself that matters; it is the confirmation of the story from official sources that "makes it real" in the Gullible Mind.

The Easter Bunny killed Bin Laden!

For example, let's say a Gullible Mind person comes across an announcement that says the Easter Bunny has killed Osama Bin Laden. The report claims that colored eggs were found near Bin Laden's body, and there was evidence of feathers being left at the scene, which proves the Easter Bunny was there.

Now, an intelligent, rational mind would have a lot of questions about this. For starters, rabbits don't have feathers. And the Easter Bunny is a piece of fiction, too. On top of that, how could the Easter Bunny kill Osama Bin Laden? An intelligent person would, upon reviewing the holes in the story, be forced to conclude the story is fiction. The only logical conclusion from that is that the government is lying to them.

A Gullible Mind person, however, would not ask whether rabbits have feathers, or whether the Easter Bunny is capable of conducting a military raid. Instead, the Gullible Mind person would first look to other confirming news sources in order to determine the reliability of the story. They would turn on the TV or surf the internet, looking for the news to be repeated through "official" sources.

Once they found CNN, or Fox News, or some other "official" source reporting that the Easter Bunny killed Osama Bin Laden, then that news report would instantly become "real" in their minds. Suddenly it has shifted from their mental processing queue to the "absolutely truth" part of their brain, and from that point forward, no one can question that reality in their heads.

Don't bother arguing with a Gullible Mind - they are immune to facts

At this point, their rational mind is completely shut off on the topic. No accumulation of facts can, at that point, rattle their "reality." For example, a person who believes the government's story of 9/11 has already embraced the Easter Bunny version of terrorists flying airplanes into the World Trade Center towers. So how did this act cause the WTC 7 building to collapse in a demolition-style free-fall a few hours later, when WTC 7 was never struck by airplanes? How can a steel and concrete building suddenly and magically collapse in perfect structural synchronicity merely from being on fire?

The answers don't matter to The Gullible Mind, you see. There is no room for facts inside their heads, because all the space has been taken up with what is essentially a cult-like belief in institutions of authority.

We saw this in the Heaven's Gate cult in California a few years back. The leader of that cult, a man named Applegate, positioned himself as the one and only source of authoritative information among the cult followers. So HE became the authoritative source whose information was wholly accepted without questioning or skepticism of any kind. At that point, he was able to quite easily convince his followers that an alien race was going to land a UFO on the far side of a comet, and that if they killed themselves, they would be transported onto the alien ship (or something like that).

The belief in such a story may seem silly... until you realize that the governments of the world use the exact same cult-like tactics to get their own "followers" to believe everything they say, without question. So if President Zuma announced that an alien race was going to land a mother ship on the Tuin Huis’ lawn, and that people who voted for him would have their consciousness transferred to an immortal alien body, the remarkable truth is that millions of people would believe that. Perhaps tens of millions. They would even worship him as an interstellar saint. Or maybe closer to home, if he says that the ANC will create jobs, deliver services and eradicate corruption in the government, the remarkable truth is that millions of people would believe that and vote for the ANC!

Remember Orson Welles' radio program that announced aliens had invaded the Earth and were destroying our cities? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wa...) Huge numbers of people believed it was really happening... and not because it made any sense, but because the information came from the source they trusted. To those people, the alien invasion was just as real back then as Bin Laden's official death is to government followers today.

Throughout history, many conspiracy theories have turned out to be true

Government lying, of course, has been going on for as long as governments have existed. Not all conspiracies theories are true, of course, but so many of them turn out to be true that the idea of "not believing" in conspiracies makes no rational sense.

To not believe in conspiracies means you don't believe two people have ever sat down and plotted to take advantage of others in some unethical and deceptive way. Well gee, that describes virtually every board meeting of every large corporation in the world! Conspiracies are not just commonplace; they're practically synonymous with modern-day capitalism!

I wonder: Do the Gullible Mind people also not believe in that conspiracy theory? Are all conspiracy theories automatically tossed out merely because of the word "conspiracy?"

For those who don't know their history, here's a list of 33 conspiracy theories that turned out to be true: http://www.newworldorderreport.com/...

The Manhattan Project, of course, was a secret government conspiracy. The Tuskegee Syphilis experiments on African Americans was a secret medical conspiracy. Operation Northwoods was a conspiracy plot to create support for a war on Castro by staging terrorism events in U.S. cities.

These are all historical facts. They are indisputable. But to The Gullible Mind, none of this history exists. What's real is only what they are being told right now by the White House. When George Bush occupied the White House, the daily fibs were things like, "The Iraqis want us to occupy their land with military personnel because we are setting them free!" Oh yeah, that's a bit of twisted logic, for sure. But it's no different from Obama's version of the war fairytales, which includes such gems as, "We're only dropping humanitarian bombs on Libya." Or, "It's not actually war. It's only kinetic military action."

But you see, it makes no difference whether anything they say is actually true... at least not to The Gullible Mind, which believes there is no such thing as a conspiracy theory. There is no such thing as a nefarious government, either. Heck, when Columbus landed in the New World, his entire crew shared food and wine with the Native American Indians, we're told. There was no raping, no murder, no genocide. That's why we continue to celebrate Columbus Day every year! Because the Gullible Mind wants a reason to get off work for a day, even if it requires a complete revision of actual historical facts.

The most popular issues of Gullible Mind people

Vaccines are good for you - Vaccines are "safe and effective" merely because doctors and the CDC say they are, not because of any reliable scientific evidence.

The economy is in great shape - Gullible Mind people are easily influenced to stop thinking about the $14 trillion national debt that's growing by the day and simply go along with whatever economic fictions are being woven in Washington.

Governments and corporations are looking out for your best interests - The drug companies only want to find cures and make everybody healthy. The government is here to help. We should all stop asking questions and just do what we're told.

Nothing will ever run out - There's no such thing as Peak Oil. Our world can continue its throwaway economy without end, they believe. We'll never run out of gas, water, soil or natural resources. Keep using stuff up and throwing it all away!

Food additives are good for you - Otherwise, the FDA wouldn't have approved them, would they?

There's no such thing as a cure for cancer - The ultimate pessimists, the Gullible Mind crowd believes cancer has never been cured! And if a cancer cure did exist, we would know about it by now, right? (Because our scientists already know everything that's worth knowing, you see...)

Herbs and plants have no medicinal value - That's right, only conventional medicine can "treat" you, because that's what the doctors say. Herbs and plants have zero biological value beyond their calories alone, they insist.

... and on it goes, one delusion after another. A Gullible Mind, it seems, will believe almost anything if it comes from a "trusted" source. But that same Gullible Mind will discount straight-up facts if they don't come from those same trusted sources.

How to stop being a Gullible Mind

Interestingly, most of the people who are intelligent, skeptical thinkers today used to be Gullible Mind people at one time or another. There was a point where they simply "awakened" and began to consciously question the world around them.

Intelligent, informed skeptics are the people asking questions like:

• Why do twenty different mainstream news sources all report the exact same news, using the exact same words, on the exact same day? (http://www.naturalnews.com/032022_m...) If they were all investigating and writing their own news, wouldn't their news be different?

• Why did Wall Street get a multi-trillion-dollar bailout from Washington while the American people are still required to pay taxes that involve sending money to Washington? If Washington can just magically create a trillion dollars overnight, why do we pay taxes, then?

• Why does the USDA now actively conspire with GMO seed companies to keep approving genetically modified seeds even without any scientific evidence of their long-term safety?

• If mercury is one of the most toxic substances known to modern science, why is it still being deliberately placed into the mouths of children in the form of "silver" fillings? And why are they called "silver" when they actually contain more mercury than silver?

• Where does the fluoride used to fluoridate the public water supplies really come from? (http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=42652...) And if fluoride is so good for people, then why is it so hazardous to handle, and why is it considered a hazardous chemical by the EPA?

• What really happened on 9/11? How did WTC 7 collapse if it was never hit by any airplanes? Why did they sweep away the rubble before a proper forensic analysis could be performed?

• Are vaccines really safe? Where's the study comparing vaccinated children with non-vaccinated children? Why won't the vaccine industry allow such studies to be conducted?

• Why does the cancer industry seem a lot more interested in treating cancer and recruiting cancer patients than actually curing cancer and ending the epidemic? Why does the industry refuse to talk about cancer-causing chemicals or the anti-cancer effects of vitamin D? Why did Dr Tullio Simoncini loose his license to practice medicine by curing cancer with Sodium Bicarbonate that has zero side effects?

• Why are toxic food additives still allowed in the food supply? What's the real story on aspartame and the FDA? Why did the FDA oppress stevia for so many decades? Why do dietitians still advise people NOT to take supplements, although we don’t get all needed nutrients from our foods, due to unnatural agricultural and processing of foods.

• Why is the medical police state now using guns to force parents to medicate their children? In what kind of medical system is it necessary to use the threat of violence to force compliance?

• Why did Clinton bomb the Sudan in the middle of the Monica Lewinsky crisis? Why did Obama suddenly announce the death of Bin Laden in the middle of his "birther" crisis?

• Why do we still have the DEA's "War on Drugs," especially since there is ample evidence that the war is a total failure that only increases the prison population while actually enriching the drug gangs with higher street prices?

• Why is the TSA still reaching down our pants at the airports if Bin Laden is now dead? Wasn't he the whole reason we created the TSA and hired on those 60,000 security agents in the first place? (http://www.naturalnews.com/032267_B...)

An intelligent, skeptical thinker would ask these questions (and many more) as a natural course of basic human curiosity. But a Gullible Mind, attacks the questioner for even daring to ask such questions.

Who are some of the awakened people?

That's why the Gullible Mind is more than merely gullible: It is a cowardly mind. It is afraid to ask questions on its own, and it simultaneously attacks those who have the courage to stand up and actually ask those questions (like Jesse Ventura).

Most members of the conventional press are, of course, cowardly minds. They almost universally buy the corporate spin (or the White House spin) and never ask any tough questions anymore. Some of the REAL heroes -- the people who are asking intelligent questions about our world -- include:

Alex Jones

Jeff Rense

Charlotte Gerson

Jonathan Landsman

David Icke

Jesse Ventura

Gerald Celente

Ron Paul

Robert Scott Bell

Dr. Andrew Wakefield

Suzanne Somers

Dr. James Forsythe

George Noorey

Do you see a pattern here? Each one of these individuals has been marginalized or viciously attacked and slandered simply because they chose to ask intelligent questions about the world around them. Now, I don't agree with every single thing said by each one of these people, but I admire each of them for having the courage to ask the questions that need to be asked if we are to move forward as a society (and civilization).

These kind of people represent the complete opposite of The Gullible Mind. They are, instead, the "true skeptics" of the world. The reason they are viciously attacked is because our world is so steeped in deceit and conspiracy that only Gullible Minds are tolerated. Those who question the status quo are not merely annoying to the powers that be, but actually dangerous because the most dangerous activity in which you can engage today is helping others awaken to what's really happening around them.

It is that "awakening" that is so utterly despised by the web of corporations, governments and media lackeys that they will do everything in their power to prevent any sort of awakening from taking place at all. The functioning of the Matrix, after all, depends on people believing in the illusion.

And it is so much easier to govern, of course, if people just believe whatever you tell them. Gullible Minds make great voters and willing slaves. But lousy company.

In the end then, The Truth is Stranger than the Lie...

I Had the privilege of meeting a legend...

2011-04-30T10:52:00.000+02:00

Have you ever wished you had a chance to meet one of the great minds of the past?

If you were given such a chance, lets say to travel back in time, would you have seen him as a master, would you have believed his discoveries, would you have learned from him, or would you have been part of the masses that criticized him?

Take for instance someone like the Italian, Galileo. He discovered that the Sun does not rotate around the Earth, but that it was the other way around. His discovery was in conflict to a cornerstone belief of the establishment of his time for centuries before. When he dared to challenge this dearly held belief, he was in deep trouble. He appeared before the Roman Inquisition and had to recant his discoveries. Now, many centuries later it is laughable to even consider the modern science without his discoveries.

Ignaz Semmelweis was a Hungarian physician whose work demonstrated that hand-washing could drastically reduce the number of women dying after childbirth from infections. Semmelweis figured out where the problem lay and introduced rigorous hand-washing rules in the maternity ward. Deaths were drastically reduced and Semmelweis became known as the ‘saviour of the mothers’.

Sadly, Semmelweiss was committed to an insane asylum because of the fact that his peers did not want to believe his evidence.

Today again, many years later, ALL doctors are aware of the importance of sterile hands when operating or when giving an injection for example.

Closer to the modern age are people like Royal Raymond Rife, Emanuel Revici, Max Gerson, Johanna Budwig - people who discovered ways to cure and destroy the deadly disease of cancer. Again their new ideas was not received favourably by their peers, not because they had no proof, no facts, no results, but because they challenged the status quo. Today thousands of people have been healed by their systems, but most of it is still denied by the powers that be, or much of what they had discovered is lost.

I would have LOVED to have learned at the feet of these masters!

Then there IS Dr. Tullio Simoncini

A year of two ago I discovered his work by pure ‘chance’.

I started researching his work, bought his book and found it most fascinating.

His theory is that cancer is a fungus. He theorized that because you can cure thrush in a baby’s mouth with Sodium Bicarbonate, it could possibly work with other fungi as well.

He was right! So for many years now he is successfully treating all cancers with Sodium Bicarbonate - yes that’s right, good old baking soda!

In doing this he committed to grave sins. One, he actually can cure any cancer, and secondly, it costs virtually nothing.

You may ask what’s wrong with any of these? Well, it turns out that the manufacturers of very expensive (deadly ineffective) chemicals (called chemo therapy) as well as very astute cancer research institutions (Universities) would be without any income due to this simple solution to this deadly disease if an alternative cure was discovered.

So a plan was made, like with people like Dr. Royal Raymond Rife, Dr. Emanuel Revici, Dr. Max Gerson, Dr. Johanna Budwig. Shut the man down, immediately.

So Dr. Tullio Simoncini lost his license to practice medicine immediately!

All this sounds like science fiction to you, I don’t blame you a bit. But because I have done extensive research into natural medicine over period of more than fifteen years, I can assure you, this modus operandi runs like a golden thread though all great modern discoveries.

The standard procedure goes much like this:

Very well educated doctor leaves university.
After entering private practice, discovers that what he was taught, does not really heal people.
Doctor starts trying out different unconventional methods to help his suffering patients.
On one bright day he discovers a simple miracle cure for a terrible disease.
He tests it over and over, to make sure that what he discovered is in fact true.
He shares his discoveries with his superiors and peers.
Soon he is isolated from the professional circles and marginalized effectively.
False news paper articles or even $cientific papers appears to tell the story of yet another quack that has been exposed.
The doctor looses his license to practice medicine.
The doctor is disillusioned by the system and is forced to look at alternative ways to help people with his discovery, because he has a heart to help the suffering.
The doctor eventually dies and much of his discoveries and knowledge dies with him.

This is much the case of what happened with Dr. Tullio Simoncini.

The only difference is that the past week I had the privilege to meet the man in person. I can assure you that this full blood Italian doctor is everything but dead!

He engages in conversations with true Italian animated passion and absolute certainty. I found him to speak with authority and precise instruction while looking you straight in the eyes.

I was lucky to have long discussions with him on the why’s - the why not’s - the do’s and the don’ts of his treatments.

I was able to look into the eyes of a true master at his art. I could experience his passion to help people, listen to his dreams of what he still wants to achieve! Most of all, I could ask all the questions I wanted to, and learn first hand from this great mind. I asked the kind of questions that you never get answers from, once the master is no longer around. The only interruptions we had was his cell phone ringing about every 10 minutes. People are constantly phoning from around the world to make appointments or ask for advice - he answered EVERY call, although each call cost him a minimum of EUR 20 (about R200) because of international roaming outside of the EU!

We also spent some relaxing times together, and showed Dr. Simoncini around the wonderful Cape. Here he is with Josua, CJ and Heidi-Mari at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. When I dropped him off at the airport, he greeted each of us with the typical Italian kiss on each cheek.

If you want to learn more about this remarkable man, and his quest to eradicate cancer, look at his website or get his book.

MMR

2011-01-25T10:23:00.000+02:00

I found this inspiring video clip on MMR - Enjoy it

Doctor show MMR vaccination is unsafe for children - looses his license

2011-01-10T22:57:00.000+02:00

I have just finished reading Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s book: Callous Disregard.

For many years we have been opposed to using vaccinations, due to our own experience with our oldest son CJ. He became very ill following the DTP vaccination.

Personally I have done MANY hours of reading stretching over 15 years on the subject of vaccinations’s pros and cons.

What I have learned about vaccinations with certainty are as follows:

Vaccinations DO CAUSE adverse effects in children, some short lived some permanent- this is no longer debatable. What is still unsure, is the physical body count.
Anybody trying to show scientifically that there is a link between vaccinations and Autism, juvenile diabetes, inflammatory bowl disorders, cancer etc, will be ostracized.
The efficacy of the so called “herd immunity” to diseases is flakey, as there has been epidemic outbreaks in fully vaccinated communities.
There is very little to no political will to encourage vaccine safety research, rather the opposite. No REAL study has been run on vaccinated children v.s. unvaccinated children - the ‘authorities’ deem this ‘unethical’
Doctors and clinic nurses intimidate parents that question the safety or efficacy of vaccinations with FEAR of being irresponsible.
Most parents still think that their doctor and nurse has their best interest at heart with vaccinating their young.
Most parents of autistic children, that I have consulted, admit that they will never have any child of theirs vaccinated ever again, and that they wish they could turn back the clock…

All this and more, is what Dr Wakefield discovered. I knew many of these things from my own research, but here is a story of a man that lived all of it.

He simply published his findings and because of standing up on behalf of vaccine damaged patients - lost his license to practice medicine. He did what you are hoping your doctor would do, if you took a sick child to him, find the cause of his/her illness.

He is now accused of Scientific Fraud, believe it or not. In Callous Disregard, he gives a detailed description of events as they unfolded, from the first time he saw sick children, how he and his colleagues diagnosed and helped the children to where he is today, in the USA, discredited, alienated from his own country and his career destroyed!

If you ever doubted that there are bigger powers at play and that vaccinations may be unsafe then I want to encourage you to get his book. The book is so well written, it reads like a horror story from Hollywood - I simply could not put it down. DO NOT believe the media… before you have read this book yourself!

I believe that history will indeed be very kind to Dr. Wakefield, and that in the end the truth will be known.
Below is an interview that Dr. Mercola had with Dr. Wakefield.

In a previous post I have an interview of Dr. Mercola and Dr. Palevsky - this is the perspective of two doctors that no longer vaccinate, because they see the damage it does to our children...

Need a Detox AFTER the festive season?

2011-01-03T21:20:00.000+02:00

By Christo Lues

Most of us don’t like the idea of a detox. For most people this means bland lettuce and tomato, carrot sticks and water. Basically devoid of all ‘good’ stuff. Although there are people out there advocating these kinds of detoxes, personally I have never been keen on the idea.

The dilemma is: if I need to ‘de-tox’ by only eating those bland foods and everything else is bad for me, then logically I will ‘re-tox’ my body by eating normal food again! That just doesn’t make sense.

There are however definite no-no’s one should avoid if you want to be healthy for a long time. These will generally break down your body over time, ending in disease or degeneration of body parts.

Our philosophy is to Cleanse, Nourish and Balance the body. Once in-balance, it does not take very much to maintain a state of balance in the body. This is where we advise on a maintenance program.

The VERY BEST way to determine what is needed to detox your body, is to have a personal Live Blood Analysis by a Sevenpointfive consultant. This caters for individual needs and as a personal trust relationship develops with the consultant, you may find yourself in less need of chemical medicine and relying more on natural medicine and your body’s own repair systems.

For most of us the following general guidelines may help to keep our bodies afloat, until you can get to a consultant.

Avoid fast foods, sugary drinks and foods like sweets and ice cream, highly processed and refined foods like pastries, cakes, muffins and puddings.

Avoid artificial or Non-Nutritive Sweeteners.

Avoid canned and processed meats like salami, polony, spreads, bacon, pies, vienna’s etc.

Hydrogenated oils or food containing these like margarine, sunflower oil, canola oil, chips, crisps or any deep fried foods.

Food containing MSG or Mono-Sodium-Glutemate like Aromat, soup powders or Barbecue Spice. These days I see more and more products hiding this as ‘yeast extract’

Concentrate on eating fresh (organic where possible) foods, eat whole grain breads, try baking your own, with Spelt or Rye. Use butter for frying eggs. Eat as many eggs as you like (it has NO effect on cholesterol - by the way) Buy free-range eggs, meat and chicken. Steam or oven roast your food. Avoid microwave cooking.

Eat a decent breakfast, this is one place you do not want to skimp. If you eat the right kind of breakfast you will be able to shake some of those extra kilos that became your partners during the holidays.

Drink LOTS of CLEAN water. If you have not done so already, get a decent water filter for the house. If you have to buy bottled water, get Nestle or Valpre still un-flavoured water. Not many other bottled waters are any good - the pH is too low of these waters.

Test your body’s pH to determine if you are too acidic.

Some supplements to consider for aiding your detox are as follows:

Good Anti-oxidant to get rid of the toxic buildup of accumulated toxins in the cells.

A digestive enzyme complex to break down the undigested fats and proteins in the blood.

Coral Calcuim for balancing your body’s pH.

You may need to detox your best friend - your liver.

If you need more personal attention, then make an appointment to see myself or a Sevenpointfive consultant in your area.

Street Corner Autism Debate

2010-12-19T21:33:00.000+02:00

Scientists fear MMR link to autism

2010-11-26T22:27:00.000+02:00

New American research shows that there could be a link between the controversial MMR triple vaccine and autism and bowel disease in children.

The study appears to confirm the findings of British doctor Andrew Wakefield, who caused a storm in 1998 by suggesting a possible link.

Now a team from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina are examining 275 children with regressive autism and bowel disease - and of the 82 tested so far, 70 prove positive for the measles virus.

Last night the team's leader, Dr Stephen Walker, said: 'Of the handful of results we have in so far, all are vaccine strain and none are wild measles.

'This research proves that in the gastrointestinal tract of a number of children who have been diagnosed with regressive autism, there is evidence of measles virus.

'What it means is that the study done earlier by Dr Wakefield and published in 1998 is correct. That study didn’t draw any conclusions about specifically what it means to find measles virus in the gut, but the implication is it may be coming from the MMR vaccine. If that’s the case, and this live virus is residing in the gastrointestinal tract of some children, and then they have GI inflammation and other problems, it may be related to the MMR.'

The 1998 study by Dr Wakefield, then a reader in gastroenterology at the Royal Free Hospital in North London, and 12 other doctors claimed to have found a new bowel disease, autism enterocolitis.

At the time, Dr Wakefield said that although they had not proved a link between MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and autism, there was cause for concern and the Government should offer the option single vaccines - instead of only MMRs - until more research had been done.

The paper - and the confused interpretation of its findings - caused uproar and led to many parents withdrawing their co-operation for the triple jab. Ten of the paper's authors also signed retractions on the interpretation but stood by the science.

This is the second independent study to back up Dr Wakefield. In 2001 John O'Leary, Professor of Pathology at St James's Hospital and Trinity College, Dublin, replicated his findings.

Last night Dr Wakefield said: 'This new study confirms what we found in British children and again with Professor O'Leary. The only exposure these children have had to measles is through the MMR vaccine.

'They were developing normally until they regressed. They now suffer autism and bowel disease.

'The Department of Health and some of the media wanted to dismiss our research as insignificant. The excuse was that no one else had the same findings as us. What they didn't say is that no one else had looked.'

A spokesman for the Department of Health said they had not read the American report, but added: 'MMR remains the best form of protection against measles, mumps and rubella.'

Dr Wakefield wrote a book on his findings, have a look at it here.

Is atherosclerosis caused by high cholesterol?

2010-11-04T21:40:00.000+02:00

According to the low‐density‐lipoprotein (LDL) receptor hypothesis, development of atherosclerosis is caused by a high concentration of LDL‐cholesterol in the blood, and lowering LDL‐cholesterol reverses, or at least retards, atherosclerosis, thus preventing cardiovascular disease.¹ As a scientific hypothesis, it is open to falsification: if the concentration of LDL‐cholesterol or total cholesterol and the degree of atherosclerosis do not correlate, or if there is no exposure‐response, e.g. if there is no association between the cholesterol changes (ΔLDL‐cholesterol or Δtotal cholesterol) and atherosclerosis progression.

The successful statin trials, with their substantial reduction of LDL‐cholesterol seemed to confirm the LDL receptor hypothesis, but their outcome was independent of the initial cholesterol concentration and the degree of its lowering. For instance, the p values for the relationships between the outcome, and the percentage or the absolute change in LDL cholesterol, as calculated in one of the trial reports,² were 0.76 and 0.97, respectively. The lack of exposure‐response, together with the benefit of the treatment in disorders and age groups where LDL‐cholesterol concentration has little if any predictive value, suggests that statins must have more important effects on cardiovascular disease than a lowering of cholesterol.³ Indeed, there is evidence that the statins have anti‐thrombotic and anti‐inflammatory effects, and also a beneficial influence on endothelial dysfunction, LDL oxidation, re‐vascularization and smooth muscle cell proliferation.

Even if these effects were operating in the trials, the substantial lowering of LDL‐cholesterol should at least have contributed to the improvement if the LDL receptor hypothesis were correct. The lack of exposure‐response also questions whether atherosclerosis is truly caused by high LDL‐cholesterol.

However, the outcome in the clinical trials was cardiovascular disease, not atherosclerotic progression. To answer the question, we need to compare the cholesterol concentration and the degree of atherosclerosis, and in particular, to study the influence of ΔLDL‐cholesterol on atherosclerotic progression, rather than clinical outcome.

Questions about Eat Right for Your Type

2010-07-08T21:49:00.000+02:00

A while back, I was asked to write an article (Interview style) on the Eat Right for Your type diet, as developed by Dr. Peter D’Adamo. I wrote the article, but never had any feedback from the journalist. So I thought it would be a waste to let the effort go to waste - here it is for you all.

PERSONAL ACCOUNT:

I have been told that you and your entire family are followers of the blood type diet. Is this true? Yes, it is true. Could you share your story...

When my oldest son was born about 15years ago, he became very ill. He would get continual respiratory infections and would run a constant temperature. We went to many doctors who ran lots of tests, all to no avail. We were watching our son wither away in front of our eyes. My wife was a practicing dietician at the time, and I was a bio-medical engineer. We had come to the end of our combined knowledge and the doctors were of no help. The last pediatrician we visited, ran blood tests and said that our son was very allergic but he does not know to what - he said that we need to find out for ourselves.

We started a long and hard walk trying to get to the root of the matter. We met a homeopath that eventually saved our son’s life, cured myself of sinus infections without antibiotics and cured my wife of chronic yeast infections. I was so impressed by natural medicine that I started researching it more. I eventually ended up studying clinical nutrition, which gave me a very good base to do further studies from. In my self-studies, I read many hundreds of scientific articles, books and attended numerous short courses on natural medicine. It was then that the first blood type book by Dr. D’Adamo was published. A friend gave it to me as a gift. I immediately read it and filed the information in the back of my mind.

What made you decide to go on this diet?

By this time my wife just had our second baby Heidi-Mari. She was a ‘colic’ baby. I say ‘colic’ as that was the diagnosis by the doctors, now I know better. She basically cried during the day, and slept during the night. Our diet was still not quite healthy, and due to some of the foods my wife ate while breastfeeding her, she developed eczema.

We discovered that she was very sensitive to wheat, dairy, sugar, MSG and preservatives. Our diet changed dramatically, as we decided to raise our daughter vegetarian, although we still ate some meat.

Two things happened; Firstly we would be ravenous by ten in the morning as we only had fruit for breakfast, and secondly we could see our daughter get exited when we would prepared meat for ourselves.

A few months later my wife was pregnant again and was very nauseas. We then discovered that when she had a full English breakfast, that for some reason, she was not nauseas for that day.

It was only then, that I started putting the pieces of the puzzle together and recalled what I had read in the “Eat right for your blood type” book. We immediately changed our diet accordingly. My daughter stopped crying completely and her eczema disappeared. My son never had a respiratory infection again, and I lost about ten kilograms in period of three months.

Since that day, we have never looked back, we just experienced a constant improvement in our health.

How long have you been on the diet?

Since it was first published more than ten years ago.

How has it worked for you, what difference has it made in your life?

The diet has done wonders for us as a family. We have just had our eighth baby. He is currently three weeks old. My wife already has her figure back and had a very healthy pregnancy and is turning forty one in a few days!

I am not overweight and neither is my wife or any of our children. We never go to the doctor and if we do get an ailment, we cure it with nutritional supplements, and can usually relate it back to something we ate that was not good for our blood type. Our new baby does not cry due to stomach cramps or have any skin rash as my wife eats very strictly according to her blood type. Since we discovered these truths when she was still breastfeeding our first daughter and we have been advocating this to mothers for years now. Unfortunately to this day, many so called health professionals do not recognize diet, as the main cause of the malfunctioning human body.

What blood type are you and what kind of foods do you eat? Tell me about your family and their experiences.

Our family of ten are all O-type blood. This is a huge blessing as we can all eat the same food. It is more challenging to cook for your family when you have different blood types, but Dr. D’Adamo published a “Cook right for your type” book as well. This makes it a lot easier for families with different blood types.

The O-type are mostly meat eaters, and we get organic grass fed meat. Wheat is a huge problem for the O-type and we bake our own bread, using mostly Spelt, an ancient grain and considered to be the mother of the modern, problem causing wheat. Spelt is well tolerated by all the blood types and is an excellent substitute for wheat in baking just about anything. We also do particularly well on some vegetables, and make sure to only buy organic fruit and vegetables. This may sound expensive, but it really is not. If my children eat fruit or vegetables that are sprayed by the farmers with pesticides, I can be sure to spend more money getting them well, that the little bit that the organic produce cost extra.

Do you follow this diet merely as a set of guidelines, or is it a strict rule in your life?

We stay on the diet for the better part of our diet, and though we never make it a strict rule, although life is much easier when we follow the diet. For instance: when we eat chicken for dinner, we will be hungry again before we go to bed at night and the little ones will wake up numerous times during the night, which is not the case when we have red meat for dinner. The diet also become more strict when we are under a lot of stress, or when we travel or generally experience a run down immune system. If you ‘cheat’ too much then, your body cannot handle the extra load and you well fall ill.

Do you ever crave various foods?

Only home cooked food, when I had to travel or eat at hotels for too long.

What are the reasons for our cravings and how do we overcome these?

Part of my practice is doing Live Blood Analysis. This is something that we use extensively, and I specifically use the Sevenpointfive methods. I have found it has a sound scientific base and a superior knowledge base. When someone comes to us for an analysis, food cravings are usually one of their complaints. Although we do find that there are more than one cause for the cravings, I mostly find two causes. The first is a mineral deficiency, lowering the body pH (meaning the body’s intercellular fluids become acidic)

The second may shock you, but it is related to what people have for breakfast, if any.

Most people have a ‘light’ breakfast like fruit, smoothies, cereal or yogurt. This simply raises the blood sugar levels too quickly, resulting in the body secreting too much insulin to lower the fast increasing blood glucose levels. The blood sugar level then drops quickly, to an all time low, casing the brain to go into panic mode. The result is that you crave something to quickly get your blood sugar back up.

This is when you eat the wrong foods (cravings) and the cycle simply starts all over again. And by the way, every time you have an insulin spike, you store fat.... you can read more here.

Do you recommend the blood type diet to the majority of your patients?

Yes.

When people come to us for the Sevenpointfive blood analysis, we help to detox the body and get back to a healthy life style. I find the best I can do to help them to stay healthy as far as diet is concerned, is to follow the Blood type diet

Do you have a patient who is solely on this diet and has shown tremendous results? Would they be willing to share their story? If so, could you put me in contact with them?

I do have, it’s just a matter of looking through about 8000 files, but I will try and get one to write you something.

Maybe I can share this short story with you regarding this matter...

I had a young girl, twenty seven, come to see me with ovarian cancer. One of the most important things about cancer, is that it needs an acid environment to grow, read more here about the pH

Anyway, she has heard that red meat is an absolute no-no when trying to fight cancer, and before this experience I would have agreed. We tried for some weeks to get her pH to the desired 7.5 level, but it was responding very slowly. It was then that I had another look at Dr. D’Adamo’s book on blood type and Cancer. The girl was a B-Type and for her, organic grass fed lamb is like medicine. I convinced her to start eating some lamb. One week later her pH was up, and we have been able to keep it there. One year later and her oncologist (cancer specialist) was VERY surprised to see her in excellent health. She remains on the Sevenpointfive program and keeps to her B-type diet.

GENERAL QUESTIONS: (I e-mailed Dr. D’Adamo’s office, and they answered the following)

How does the blood reveal a person’s susceptibility to disease?

Most people in the medical field only study blood type as it relates to transfusions, but if you looked more deeply into the medical literature, you would find that your blood type is the key to your body’s entire immune system. It controls the influence of viruses, bacteria, infections and stress.

What are the misconceptions about the blood type diet?

My critics have said that there is no scientific basis to the diet, however, if you look in the scientific and medical literature, you’ll find a number of studies linking blood type and disease.

I have read that there is no scientific evidence for this diet, is this true?

Here is a link to my website, http://www.dadamo.com/science.htm I’ve listed just a few of the studies linking blood type with various diseases.

What are your convictions that the diet actually works?

The thousands of letters from people whose health has improved significantly due to the diet speak for themselves. The fact that the book is still on Amazon’s best seller list after more than 10 years, speaks for the longevity of this program. But, most scientifically, in a self-reported study of 6617 individuals who were following the diet for one month or more, three out of four (71-78%) had significant improvement in a variety of health conditions. Weight loss was the effect most often observed but a number of reports detailed improvements in digestive function, resistance to stress, overall energy and mental clarity. The percentages (71-78%) of visitors reporting positive results are consistent across all the blood types. Type O (following a higher protein lower-carb diet) appeared as likely to report positive results as Type A (following a lower fat, plant-based diet) or types B and AB (following a more omnivorous diet.). The results certainly appear to question many of the standardized one size fits all diets advanced by the diet gurus, governments and agribusiness.

When starting the blood type diet, how would you suggest one goes about it?

Is it a process that should occur over time? It depends on your reasons for starting the diet – are you ill? If so, jump right in and eliminate your avoid foods and stick to beneficial foods. If you are generally healthy, you can start by eliminating a few of your avoid foods and focusing more on beneficial foods gradually.

Why do you feel this diet has not gained popularity by mainstream dieticians, as it has been around for a number of years?

There are many dieticians, MD’s, and other health practitioners who recommend the Blood Type Diet for their patients. Just because something isn’t mainstream, it doesn’t mean that it does not work – just think about all the things that are mainstream that are bad for you.

What advice would you give someone that has heard about the blood type diet, but is skeptical about it?

Try it for one month and see how you feel.

In cases of extreme food allergies, can one undergo specific tests to identify the problem? How do these work?

If you’re allergic to a specific food, common sense tells you not to eat it. Allergists can perform tests to determine allergies or sensitivities to specific foods.

I am convinced that more people nowadays are suffering from stomach conditions and digestive problems, for this reason I have been trying to locate statistics on this matter, but to no avail. Are you aware of any statistics in this regard, and would you say that I am accurate in my assumption?

Many patients at my clinic suffer from digestive problems and have had success in alleviating those problems by eating right for their blood type. We know that a large part of your immune system is in your gut, and there are a large number of studies linking digestive health and blood type http://www.dadamo.com/science_bloodgroups_digestion_references.htm

Would you be willing to prescribe a weekly diet for each blood type, as recommended by Dr. D'Adamo. I am certainly wary about publishing a diet that I have not obtained consent by the creator.

Yes, that would be fine, BUT it would take a lot of work, and I really do not have time for that right now, I just refer my clients to get the book, read it and then cook accordingly. It’s generally very easy this way.

Homeopathy and the Christian

2010-06-11T16:58:00.000+02:00

Our journey.

During the past fifteen years we, as a family, have been through a lot, as far as natural medicine goes. One persistent issue of concern for some christians seems to be that of Homeopathy. We came across homeopathy as a result of modern allopathic medicine failing to solve major health issues in our young firstborn son. The pediatrician explained to us, after he ran many expensive tests, that he had no idea what the problem was, and that we would be better off trying to find an answer ourselves. And so our journey in search of true medicine began. Me an electronic engineer and my wife a dietitian.

We prayed earnestly for direction as we had no idea as to what to do next, and we could not bear it any longer seeing our baby grow weaker by the day. Through a wonderful Christian pharmacist we were introduced to an excellent homeopath in our area.

Fifteen years ago, the (Christian) world was a little different than it is today. Back then we were almost excommunicated for being different. As a couple we have always had a very teachable spirit, although, at times, we could be very stubborn. Our journey took us past many strangely wonderful experiences, from receiving visits at odd hours of the day and night from our ‘caring’ pastor to find out what we were up to, or our close friends of our cell group praying ‘secretly’ in front of our health shop to close it down and stop us from practicing ‘evil practices’. We were even denied access to a ‘Christian’ school because we were using and selling homeopathic remedies. At one time my family was so worried that I had fallen for evil, that they tried to divide Linnie and me, so they could get to me and stop these so called evil practices.

Through my tendency to do a LOT of research as an engineer, I have done, and continue to do, much research on natural medicine. Many of the things I have read and studied, you have never come across and probably never will. Suffice to say that I have a fair amount of insight into allopathic medicine, and natural medicine. This has brought me to the conclusion, that collectively, the human race is grossly ignorant of it’s body’s intricate workings and the interactions with it’s environment. Not withstanding this, modern society has come to a point where it almost worship modern science for what it can do for us, and become increasingly blind to it’s shortcomings.

Just to put modern Science into perspective.

All the known facts and understanding thereof, regarding the human cell, amounts to just less than ten percent!
96% of what we get taught by astrophysicists about space “science”, consists of dark matter and dark energy, none of which can be measured. The reason for this is so they can make a model work that has no need of a Creator. This means that 4% approximates what we really know about the universe.
Only about 5% of the thousands of drugs (called modern medicine) has some beneficial effect on the human body. Chemo therapy is less than 2% effective over a ten year period. The war on cancer has failed us, and there is no cure in the foreseeable future.
With all the modern science we have not advanced an inch as far as inventing an alternative for the inefficient internal combustion engine since it was invented in 1823!
Modern science continues to promote the religion of the Big Bang and evolution as real science, yet it is based on flakey evidence and a host of common lies.
We are continually told by scientists that we should take less or no vitamins, but to take more and more chemical medicine.

Why do I bore you with all these facts? Just to say that the modern scientific model is far from complete and at best, we are only starting to scratch the surface of discovering how natural phenomena works.

This has unfortunately resulted in the human body simply being viewed as an organism, not able to heal itself, in need of man made chemical medicine to have a better life. We cut out ‘unnecessary’ body parts, burn unwanted growths with inhumane radiation therapy, or poison unwanted ‘bugs’ in the body, regardless of the devastating effect it has on healthy tissue. We have forsaken and forgotten the wonderful and fearful way in which the body was created.

With this as background, I would like to share a few thoughts on Homeopathy.

What homeopathy is not.

People regularly speak about homeopathic medicine or their homeopathic doctor etc. without realizing that what they are using is in fact not homeopathic preparations.

Herbal medicine, makes use of, mostly, natural occurring plants. These plants are harvested and the whole plant or parts there of may be used as medicine. It may be a finely ground powder, presented as measured doses in capsules. The same plant material could also be the unground leaves steeped in hot water and drunk as a tea. The same plant material can also be soaked in alcohol, strained and the alcohol containing drops be taken as a herbal remedy. Classically, the person that you would see for this kind of treatment is called a herbalist or a herbal doctor. In modern times this can be studied to a doctorate level in ‘phyto-medicine’ An example of this is using Echinacea as an immune stimulant in the winter season, or using Olive Leaf extract as a natural anti-biotic.

Vitamins and Minerals are sometimes also spoken of as homeopathic medicine, although it’s not. These are more accurately referred to as nutritional medicine. Although, like most other natural medicine, you can buy these over the counter, you would get better and more accurate advice by seeing a nutritionist. Clinical nutrition is about applying therapeutic doses of vitamins or minerals to correct an incorrect body function. An example of this is giving a schizophrenic, a high dose of Vitamin B3 to correct the brain function, or taking Magnesium for muscle cramps.

Allopathic medicine is what you would encounter when you visit your un-natural doctor, who studied MBCHB - also called a GP. Allo- (Against) pathic (germs) means that this kind of medicine waits for a symptom to appear, like eczema. The eczema that is seen as the “illness” needs to be fought off directly. Thus a chemical made in a laboratory by bold men with bottle bottom glasses wearing white coats and gloves are applied to the skin to SUPPRESS the eczema. When the eczema disappears (for a short while), the treatment is deemed successful. If the symptom reappears, a stronger chemical is applied (for this new disease), until the skin is destroyed or the symptoms appear on another spot or changes to a more severe illness like asthma. A classic example is giving cortisone to suppress asthma or eczema symptoms, and ‘managing’ the side effects caused by the cortisone when they appear.

It is worthy to note that just over 250 000 Americans and about 10 000 Brits die every year due to CORRECTLY prescribed, FDA approved “medicine”, something that has never happened in natural medicine.

In this model natural medicine or diets are viewed as unscientific and of little or no value.

OK, so what is Homeopathic medicine?

Lets take a toxic plant like Belladonna.

In ancient times Belladonna was often used to poison an adversary - with lethal consequences! Belladonna acts upon every part of the nervous system, producing active congestion, furious excitement, perverted special senses, twitching, convulsions and pain. It has a marked action on the vascular system, skin and glands.

Belladonna is always associated with hot, red skin, flushed face, glaring eyes, throbbing carotids, excited mental state, hyperaesthesia of all senses, delirium, restless sleep, convulsive movements, dryness of mouth and throat with aversion to water, neuralgic pains that come and go suddenly ( Oxytropis.) Heat, redness, throbbing and burning. Epileptic spasms followed by nausea and vomiting. Not a plant to be handled without gloves, you get the picture!

The above symptoms are very likely to occur when an undiluted extract from the leafs, stems or roots are taken orally!

When 1 part of such an extract is taken and mixed with 10 parts of water or alcohol you would have a 1 in 10 parts dilution (also referred to as a D1 dilution). Although still quite poisonous, the effects would occur in fewer people and be far less toxic.

If then one part of this (1/10) dilution is mixed with 10 parts water or alcohol, you would have a 1 in 100 part dilution (also referred to as a D2 dilution). Although still poisonous, the effects would be 100 times less.

This may may be done for a given number of times, ending up with a dilution like D30 or D60 where none of the original plant is left in the dilution.

In this instance there is no possibility for any of the original substance to be in the dilution, rendering it useless. At least, thats what makes sense, or does it?

A man by the name of Samuel Hahnemann discovered (by accident) that such dilution had a strange effect when taken. He discovered that when someone had symptoms like ‘furious excitement, perverted special senses, twitching, convulsions and pain, hot - red skin, flushed face, glaring eyes, throbbing carotids, excited mental state, hyperaesthesia of all senses, delirium, restless sleep, convulsive movements, dryness of mouth and throat with aversion to water, Neuralgic pains that come and go suddenly ( Oxytropis.) Heat, redness, throbbing and burning’, and was given a very weak dilution of Belladonna (that did not contain any of the original substance) these symptoms disappeared instantly.

This effect greatly intrigued Hahnemann, and he did a lot of ‘primitive’ research - but did not understand why the remedies worked so well. He developed a term called ‘proving a remedy’ By this he meant that in order to proof that a (Diluted) remedy was actually working, it had to induce mild symptoms similar to the original substance when taken by a well person.

Here in lies the biggest criticism on homeopathic medicine. Modern scientists analyze the (highly diluted) remedy and find none of the original substance in the remedy and for this reason deem it: a HOAX! The so called healing effect (they say) is simply a placebo response of the body. This means that the mind thinks it’s getting a remedy that’s suppose to have a certain action, and reacts accordingly. The effect is thus deemed psychological not physiological.

Is it a hoax?

Well what other explanation could possibly be true? ‘Nothing’ has a ‘something’ effect, certainly does not fit the current main line science model. (Except of coarse the Big bang theory, where nothing became something) Well, that was exactly the problem that Hahnemann experienced with his discovery. It had no known explanation.

So he had to theorize why he had positive results with heavily diluted remedies. Back in the 1800’s quantum physics had not been developed as a scientific model yet, and Hahnemann could not offer a reasonable explanation for his newly discovered medicine.

So his peers ridiculed and persecuted him as they could not understand the working of homeopathy.

This notion is, unfortunately, still with us today. Over the years the “warning” against Hahnemann and his “hoax” has grown from him having been accused of being a muslim, a satanist, an atheist, and an occultist, to homeopathy having originated in the east! In actual fact he was Lutheran and he lived and worked in Leipzig, Germany.

Like I mentioned, critics of homeopathy deem it worthless, mostly because it does not contain any molecule of the original substance, because in their minds and, limited understanding, only a ‘molecule’ can heal something. They also postulate that the only reason for any reaction to homeopathic medicine is the psychosomatic (placebo) response. What they always fail to address is the fact that homeopathy is also effective in babies and animals, who are not supposed to react, if the workings were psychosomatic!

Apart from this, many studies have been done on the efficacy of homeopathic remedies, many of which was done according to the industry standards i.e. “double blind, placebo controlled” studies.

If you have ever used homeopathic remedies, you would know that when your child had a frightening high fever in the middle of the night and you gave a remedy that brought the fever down within minutes, you needed no further convincing that homeopathy is not a hoax.

In fact, this is the very thing that happened to us. We, in total ignorance of the so called placebo response, started using homeopathic remedies on our baby son. He was totally oblivious to the suggested placebo response, and recovered remarkably.

Another problem that we are stuck with today, admittedly only in certain religious circles, is that when the word “energy” is mentioned, the proverbial stake is lit and you can hear the spiritual leaders shouting, Witch! Witch! Witch!

The main reason for this is that some new age practices also uses the word ‘energy’ and therefore ‘energy’ is evil.

A second reason is that when something cannot be explained within the current paradigm, it automatically becomes ‘mystic’ or evil.

Well, what these dear people do not realize is that ‘energy’ is part of God’s creation, whether they like it or not. Without energy, Ultra sound scans, MRI scans, CT Scans, Laser treatments, radio- TV- and Cellphone transmissions, space travel, wifi and MUCH more, would simply not have been possible. You may say yes, but that is not the human body.

The human body is equally dependent on energy for proper workings. We are only able to measure a few at present, like the very weak brain waves or the somewhat stronger heart waves. Many energy systems in the body still eludes us, simply because our science model has not advanced far enough as yet.

On dilution and like cures like.

So what about the fact that homeopathic medicine is so diluted, how can it possibly have any effect? Currently, Quantum Physics offers the best explanation in my opinion. Energy is part of our existence, in fact we are mostly energy. To explain this would take many pages if the idea is foreign to you, but allow me to offer a simple explanation.

Every physical substance on earth, has a unique normal resting frequency. Frequency is basically the number of times the substance’s atoms move around or vibrate per second.

You can easily see and hear this when a guitar string is plucked. The string would move up and down (vibration) at a rate determined by the length and thickness of the string. This is also true of non-physical elements like the different colours of the rainbow.

Some of these, depending on the frequency, we perceive as sound - like an orchestra, or smell like peppermint, or light of different colours etc.

It goes even further, every single of the billions of cells that make up your organs, your systems and eventually your body, radiates a specific frequency. Even the words you speak, is made up of a range of unique frequencies. The different thoughts you think or emotions you experience, carry different frequencies.

Thus your body radiates a spectrum of different frequencies.

This phenomena happens continually all day long from creation to the end. The chair that you sit on, the table your computer stands on, even your computer is made up of ‘loosely’ connected atoms that vibrate constantly, radiating a constant frequency. Most of these vibrations happens undetected to the human senses. We simply perceive it as, chair or computer, colour etc, etc.

The same is true of minerals that make up the earth. Every mineral has a unique frequency. Every plant or part thereof has a unique frequency.

All these cells, or other substances that I have just mentioned, radiates a certain ‘energetic power’ that is pulsed at a certain rate per second or frequency. You may equate it to the base drum in an orchestra that has both sound volume (energy) and tone (frequency).

Life as we know it is, indeed, an energy experience.

Take a plant like Coffea Arabica, make a hot water extraction of it and what you have is called a cup of coffee. If you take enough of it, you may be up all night.

If you were to analyze the drink, you would find a range of chemicals in the solution. Each of these chemicals present also carries a unique frequency. In a strong solution like this the subtleness of these delicate frequencies goes unnoted. If you take 1 part coffea extract and shake it up in 10 parts water you end up with a D1 dilution, if done again and again you have a D3 dilution or 1/1000. Although there is still substance in the D3 solution, it’s a thousand times weaker and would very likely no longer be strong enough to keep you awake.

We can equate dilution to the ‘noise’ of the physical substance fading away with each dilution.

With dilution the frequency component becomes a little clearer to distinguish it from the physical substance noise. If we had a way to measure it, we would possibly find a frequency with a greater amplitude (Amplitude is the loudness of a frequency)

If we make a 1/1000 000 solution (D6) there would definitely be none of the original chemical substance left. At this point, only the frequency footprint of the original substance will be left, and becomes very pronounced.

You may be thinking, hang on now, how is it possible to have the frequency present, without the physical substance? This is the part where our current scientific model fails us and where quantum physics gives us some explanation.

What we do know is that life is all about frequency. What some specialized scientists have discovered, is that water seems to have a “memory” (for lack of a better word). It seems like the molecules of water tends to form clusters or organized patterns when frozen and viewed under a very special microscope, in direct relation to what it has been subjected to. If for instance water is subjected to a harmonious sound, you may find a pattern like on the left, and if subject to a cellphone frequency, the water crystals may look like the picture on the right.

Very little is understood about this, and hopefully we will understand this phenomena better in years to come.

How does this relate to our coffee solution of D6?

What homeopaths have discovered over the years, is that when there is only the frequency left, and no more of the original chemical compounds, the direct physical chemistry ceases and the frequency or energetic action becomes more pronounced but has the opposite effect to the original chemical.

Remember we said, that we as humans are made up out of a variety of frequencies? When this solution, carrying only the frequency of Coffea Arabica enters our bodies, it has a direct effect on our body’s frequency system. In the case of Coffea Arabica, the effect is no longer to keep you awake, but rather helps stimulate your body to sleep better. So when we have no chemical left, but only the frequency, the effect of the substance is the opposite to that of the original chemical.

On shaking (succussion)

A further problem some people have with the preparation of a homeopathic remedy is that it needs to be shaken or potentized. It seems like the shaking is the issue here. If it was a chemical compound that required shaking, then stirring or shaking would not be wrong. When there is no ‘active chemical molecule’ and it’s shaken, then shaking suddenly evolves into a sinister spiritual ritual, it seems.

Remember when you played with play-dough back in kindergarden? Remember the little animals you formed by pressing the dough into the preformed plastic forms? After you removed the dough from plastic form, the little animal shape remained in the play-dough. Well the reason for this is that the play-dough had a memory of the original shape it was subjected to. This is a normal characteristic of play-dough.

You would also know that the form of the plastic is the reverse of the animal shape. You can see the same on a rubber stamp. It’s the reverse of the final image that ends up on the paper.

A similar action takes place when the homeopathic dilution is shaken. In a similar manner the original chemical substance’s energy or vibrational or frequency footprint is left behind in the solution after it has been shaken. And like the rubber stamp the final image is reversed from the original. Likewise, the effect of the original substance and the homeopathic dilution has a reverse effect.

So nothing evil or New Age, just something a little more complex to understand than play-dough figures.

On Holistic

When you hear the word ‘holistic healing approach’ you may think that it means to view the illness or condition in a broader sense that the usual doctor would do. To look at a person as a ‘whole’. Essentially, you would be correct. The opposite of holistic would be a ‘reductionist healing’ approach. I think that somewhere along the line, Christians stopped thinking, and became slaves of the theological masters. I don’t mean this in a derogative way, just that they blindly started following some misguided souls’ interpretation of reality without question.

The current (unnatural) medical approach is mostly that of a reductionist. This means that if you go to your doctor with a blocked nose, due to sinusitis, his remedy would be multiple doses of antibiotics or cortisone. If the problem persists, your ear nose & throat specialist would advise that you have a skew septum for which the cure is to drill it open.

So, the reductionist view is to narrow down to where the so called problem is - the symptom, i.e. the nose. After the treatment the patient would then be better in the sense that he would still develop sinus, but due to the sinus passages having been enlarged, it would no longer clog up. This is called a cure. This is called science.

If you went to a natural ‘holistic’ practitioner like a homeopath or naturopath, the approach is to look at a person as a whole. The practitioner would ask a lot of seemingly unrelated questions, before starting treatment. He may want to find out what you eat, how much water you drink, if you had coffee - and what kind you had. He may want to know how many bowel movements you have a week, and what form your stools had. Nothing to do with your sinus, right? Wrong! His view of the body is that of an integrated organism. What you put into the body has a direct bearing on how well the body is built and functions. It’s a holistic view. This holistic practitioner would then slowly start changing the patients’ diet and repairing his gut, get him to drink more water and give a few food supplements. Sometimes a homeopathic remedy may be used.

Over the corse of a few days, the patient would recover completely and would then be healed for life. All this without the use of drugs or surgery. The result is that this patient would enjoy over all better health, better weight, less incidence of heart failure, diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer and the like. This is called un-scientific. This is called evil by some... New Age Theology. This is called holistic. You be the judge...

On Paracelsus and Eastern roots.

Often people (Christians) would say that the ‘roots’ of homeopathy lies in Eastern religions and philosophies, and thus it must be evil. Without going into all of the rudimentary flaws this worldview (that has it’s origin in ignorant and gullible Christian teachings) fosters in people, let me just point to a few basic facts.

The Bible never talks about judging something by it’s roots, but rather to test the fruits. It talks about how a bad tree cannot bring forth good fruit or vice versa. If we were to look into ‘roots’ - then you should never again visit your Christian doctor who graduated from a conventional medical school. He took the Hippocratic Oath, which if you read it, is pure evil in it’s most basic form. Why, you may ask? I suggest you read it. Apart from the Bible’s instruction that we should not swear by heaven or earth, the oath starts by calling on pagan gods!

This is how it starts: “I swear by Apollo, the healer, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement:”

Need I explain more...?

It is only expected of the “real” doctors to take this sacred oath. Homeopaths are not expected to take this oath, yet they are deemed evil by some. This just does not make any sense - you be the judge.

Furthermore, all humans have evil roots - borne into sin and eternal condemnation, and if they do not accept the salvation through grace, stays evil - no matter if they live in the east or the west.

Some people postulate that Hahnemann was influenced by the eastern religious views of Paracelsus. Is this true?

Hahnemann was not influenced by Paracelsus or Eastern religions, and there is no major references to this either, other than some ignorant Christians, obsessed with so called ‘deliverance’ ministries. Like I said before, Hahnemann was Lutheran that grew up and practiced in Leipzig, Germany.

The suggested link comes in with a statement Paracelsus made regarding toxic substances in his writings, which can be related to the Homeopathic principle 'let likes be cured by likes', and is quoted 100%, out of context to suite personal agendas..

Paracelsus pioneered the use of chemicals and minerals in medicine. His hermetical views were that sickness and health in the body relied on the harmony of man (the microcosm) and Nature (macrocosm), see also macrocosm and microcosm. He took an approach different from those before him, using this analogy not in the manner of soul-purification but in the manner that humans must have certain balances of minerals in their bodies, and that certain illnesses of the body had chemical remedies that could cure them. (Debus & Multhauf, p.6-12)

Paracelsus, sometimes called the father of toxicology, wrote:

German: Alle Ding sind Gift, und nichts ohn Gift; allein die Dosis macht, daß ein Ding kein Gift ist.

"All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose permits something not to be poisonous."

That is to say, substances often considered toxic can be benign or beneficial in small doses, and conversely an ordinarily benign substance can be deadly if over-consumed. Even water can be deadly if overconsumed[7].

Closing words on Homeopathy

As I said, at times we can be very stubborn, or I guess you could call it, ‘strongly convinced that what we are doing is the right thing’ Looking back at all these and other events (and there were many more) I can see a few things that I could not necessary see back then.

Our friends and family meant well, by trying to protect us.
Not all homeopathic doctors are good at what they do, but most are.
Not all allopathic doctors are pathetic at healing you, but most are.
Most allopathic doctors will always believe that homeopathy has never ‘been proven scientifically’ no matter how many international standard studies are presented to them.
Most disbelievers in homeopathy will say that homeopathy’s healing comes from a placebo response, but are unable to explain the healing effect in babies and animals.
Disbelievers will never be convinced of the workings of homeopathy, no matter how many scientific studies they are presented with, they are simply to proud.
The majority of concerns about homeopathy come from real committed Christians, unfortunately the church is completely misinformed about natural and unnatural medicine, and therefore cannot guide members accurately. Confusion results.
My pastor is no longer my pastor, and still believes homeopathy is evil.
Many of my clients are from the ‘Christian school’ and use homeopathic medicine with great results on an ongoing basis.
There are deeply vested interests in the dark underworld of toxic pharmaceutical money, that wants to suppress and ridicule all forms of natural medicine, including homeopathy.
I now have friends that are real born again, spirit filled Christians, that use homeopathic medicine, some of whom are Homeopaths themselves.
And last but not least, we grew strong in faith and dependance on the Lord through the persecution. We as a family grew spiritually, and continue to do so daily, even though we use homeopathic medicine and help countless clients with it on a daily basis.

Homeopathy has been accused of quackery, evil practices, occult rituals, New Age philosophy, unscientific, and who knows what will follow.

Although I have attempted at a simple explanation, it is FAR from complete, as our understanding of the quantum realm is in it’s infant shoes.

Having said all this, it’s important to note that certain unnatural doctors and natural holistic practitioners have personal beliefs systems, philosophies, and religions.

Homeopathy or any other form of natural medicine as a science, does not require anyone to buy into a religion or cultic beliefs. If such a notion is posed as a prerequisite for healing by a practitioner, it is always a personal conviction of a particular practitioner and not that of the science behind the practice of healing the body. If this personal religion of a practitioner is, in any way, forced on you and you are not ok with it, simply find another practitioner.

Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.

We should ALL get our measles vaccine, right?

2010-04-17T22:29:00.001+02:00

In the last few days I have had numerous enquiries regarding the mass measles vaccination drive currently under way in South Africa.

If you have not already visited my website for a LOT of truthful information about the terrible side effects of vaccinations, I suggest you look at it right away.

Regarding the current measles vaccination campaign, just a few things you should note.

Did you have measles as a child? Chances are that you did, and survived! I can still remember that I had it while we visited my grandparents. I had to lay in bed, in a darkened room. I also remember how my grandmother’s neighbour brought me a herbal tea to drink. I recovered and all was well.

I also had chicken-pocks and many other childhood diseases that was considered normal back then. That was until ‘clever’ scientists discovered a cure for these everyday illnesses - and was able to charge money for it. The problem was that if your competitor had a vaccine out on the market before you, they made money and you were loosing out on the billions to be made. Thus the race was on, to get the vaccine out there FIRST. There would have been nothing wrong with this picture, IF only they had the time and the technology to PROPERLY test the fluid they were so eagerly putting into your body for possible deadly contaminants! It is very hard to do this when your competition is blowing in your neck, so a shortcut becomes a very attractive possibility.

This video clip illustrates my point very well.

So safety aside, how effective is the vaccine?

Posted by Dr. Mercola | February 04 2001 | 1,468 views

Email this to a friend

Measles incidence in the United States is at a record low, and indigenous transmission has been interrupted in each year since 1996, suggesting that measles is no longer endemic.

As part of national initiatives, the United States established a goal to eliminate measles by the year 2000. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) conducted a six-year study of more than 20,000 people older than six years old to see how we measured up to this goal.

Guess what they found? Overall the prevalence of measles immunity was 93%.

BUT if you were born before 1957 you were virtually guaranteed to be immune to measles.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is so convinced of this data that it actually defines an potentially measles prone person as someone born after 1956 who has no documentation of adequate vaccination or laboratory evidence of immunity to measles or documentation of physician-diagnosed measles.

Medscape General Medicine January 24, 2001
Caution free registration is required to visit Medscape's medical journal.

Dr. Mercola comments:

Any idea what happened in 1957? That is when they started giving the measles vaccine. SO, if you did not get the vaccine you are virtually guaranteed to be immune to measles. After 43 years of giving measles immunizations the degree of protection to society has actually declined 6%!

It is actually worse than that as those born from 1967 to 1976 were only 81% protected. This may be related to giving the vaccine at an older age. The researchers speculate that this is due lower vaccination coverage among children before the implementation of school immunization requirements. But there is no way to know if it was not just due to vaccine failure.

Before measles vaccines were licensed in the United States in 1963, more than 500,000 cases occurred each year. Today, several decades later, the number of measles cases is at an all-time low of 100 cases reported in 1999, and surveillance data suggest that indigenous transmission has been interrupted in each year since 1996, suggesting that measles is no longer an endemic disease in the United States.

It is quite obvious that the protection against measles has declined dramatically since they immunizations were implemented. However so has the incidence of measles. Kids are just not getting measles anymore. Are there any down sides to that?

Well the incidence of asthma is up 250% in this country in the last 20 years. Some speculate that this may be related to the decrease in childhood infections. It is thought that the high fevers we get as a child actually build and strengthen our immune system and prevent the development of complications of asthma.

Dr. Incao wrote an absolutely brilliant piece on this concept which I posted last month.

One could make a justification for the MMR vaccine if in fact it were completely without side effects. Unfortunately, this is just simply not the case. The vaccines manufacturers are notorious for not doing adequate safety studies. Their efficacy studies are superb, they can prove the vaccines work, but they can NOT and have NOT proved that they are safe.

Last week's newsletter had an article describing how Dr. Andrew Wakefield has associated 170 cases of autism with the MMR vaccine.

Michael Belkin would like to see a comparison of autoimmune diseases, neurological damage, autism and diabetes for pre and post vaccine era populations.

He also believes the CDC epidemiologists have never considered that they are causing the same exact thing they are taking credit for eliminating (neurological complications from the measles virus) by injecting it into babies. The co-inventor of the measles vaccine (Dr. Sam Katz) admitted as much in a NYC lecture last year "With measles vaccine it is possible that maybe one out of 150,000 children who get the vaccine may get something that mimics measles encephalitis." The peer-reviewed, published data showing it's only 1 in 150,000 and not one in a few hundred does not exist.

So, I ask the question: “Why are so many people contracting measles, IF the vaccines given is as effective as the officials claim?”

If you read the above and many more, you have to agree that the vaccines are not doing their supposed job very well.

If you then consider the serious side effects associated with taking these and other vaccinations, and if world renowned doctors reject vaccinations - WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU TAKING THE STUFF!!?

Our 2 month old baby has just been through a light baby measles. He was uneasy for a day (not even a fever) after which we noticed the measles rash over his whole little body.

So if you are not going to give your baby or yourself a vaccination, what do you do? What if you get the measles, or some other disease?

The answer is really simple. Keep your immunity high, and keep your body in optimum condition, by keeping your pH alkaline.

If you do contract a disease, then treat with natural antibiotics and antivirals and other nutritional remedies HOURLY. I say, hourly, as some people that come to me, claim that they had to get ‘chemical antibiotics’ because they were just too sick for natural remedies. The reality is that when you use natural remedies in an acute illness, you have to use your remedies acutely. When you start getting better, you can scale down a bit.

As you may know, we have eight children now, and the last one that got a chemical was CJ (now almost 16) when he was 18 months old, when we left him with his grandma for a weekend! So we live what we teach you.

If you have any further questions, or concerns, please do not hesitate to ASK, if I cannot help, I will find the answer and come back to you.

Chiropractor for your baby?

2010-02-09T13:37:00.000+02:00

I remember years ago, before I had the courage to visit a chiropractor, how scared I was to go to a “ruk & pluk” doctor. Chiropractic treatment, has developed over the last decades to a fine precise scientific practice.

Chiropractor doctors can now study in South Africa and receive a Doctorate in Chiropractics and are recognized by our own health authorities as professionals. This is much like homeopaths, naturopaths, nutritionists and many more. The perceptions of the population will change over the years to come. It has already progressed a great deal since I first met my Chiropractor 13 years ago.

Back to the baby and the Chiropractor.

About a week ago, we had our 8th baby! His name is Michael Jonathan. He is a hefty little man, weighing in just under 4.4kg, making him our biggest baby thus far. I now have 2 daughters and 6 sons!

Well, as you may imagine, pushing out a baby of that size, takes some doing. Ever since my wife had our first baby, I said that she deserved a statue, for this is a formidable accomplishment, second to nothing, for any woman. With our second youngest son Daniel, his shoulder got stuck a little during birth. He cried for about two weeks before we realized that his shoulder is hurting. We took him for two sessions at the Chiropractor and he was 100% since then.

Linnie had great difficulty in getting Michael to latch to the breast. Linnie have breastfed all our children for considerable time, totaling to just over 10 years of continual lactating experience. At one stage she was afraid that she would not be able to breast feed Michael at all, a problem that many young mothers encounter. From my perspective I knew that with her extended experience, the problem is not with her not knowing how to breastfeed, rather a secondary issue. It was then that we realized that he could be hurting due to the difficult delivery.

We took him to Dr. Willie Bolus, our family chiropractor for almost 13 years. Heidi-Mari was actually the first of our babies to pay him a visit, when she was 5 weeks old. So we have witnessed the benefits over many years now.

What to expect when you go to a chiropractor with your newborn.

For us, the visit with our newborn was fairly uncomplicated, due to the history we have with our doctor.

If it’s your first time, the doctor will usually get a full medical history from you. If it’s your baby, he may ask you about the birth etc.

After this he will gently examine your baby in trying to establish if something is out of alignment, before he starts the treatment.

When your body is stressed by any outside factors, the muscles pull on the skeletal system. When the stress is too much it may happen that the skeletal system goes into mis-alignment. When the muscles then relaxes again, it could happen that the skeletal system does not respond appropriately, and stays out of normal alignment. Going for physiotherapy will only aid the muscles, not the skeletal system.

When the chiropractor has determined that some part of the skeletal system is indeed out of alignment, he will proceed by gently applying pressure to the misaligned bones. This will gently re-align the skeletal system. This may give immediate relief, or the relief may only come after two or three sessions.

Your baby may sleep more than you are used to just after the treatment and may also have a few extra dirty nappies. This is all normal and part of the body’s healing cycle.

So, next time your baby won’t sleep or cries for no apparent reason, it may be wise to pay your Chiropractor a visit. You may also benefit from reading “tips for breastfeeding mothers”

Remedies during labour

2010-01-27T21:39:00.006+02:00

Although most woman, today, choose to hand over total control of the body’s natural mechanism of childbirth to a doctor, there are a few that do it the natural way. This article is intended for you. Please note that my criticism towards the unnatural forms of childbirth like elected c-sections, epidurals, inductions and the rest of it stems from the fact that in modern day life, childbirth is seen as a ‘medical condition’ that needs to be ‘treated.’ This of course mostly to the financial benefit of the ‘specialist doctor’ called a gynecologist. I do however recognize that in about 5% of woman, emergency intervention is needed to save both the mother and babies lives, my criticism is not directed at these.

I too once believed that any one that chose to even had a normal GP deliver their baby was completely irresponsible, let alone a midwife or the couple themselves! I was wrong. As we now have our 8th baby, I now know better. While I am not devoting this article to the benefits of natural child birth, let me just say the following. I see so many young mothers come in to us with their young ones with problems ranging from constipation, bottle feeding, glue ears, colic, insomnia, eczema, weakened immune system allergies and much more. Most of these are as a result of the un-natural procedures like inductions, c-sections, epidurals, vaccinations, etc, etc.

Back to normal natural child birth. We have found the following especially useful before, during and straight after birth.

Raspberry leaf tea

Brewed as a tea or as an infusion, red raspberry leaf is one of the safest and commonly used tonic herbs for women wanting to get pregnant or for women who are already pregnant. Red Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus) tones the uterus, improves contractions and decreases constipation. Red Raspberry leaf does not start labor or promote contractions.It is NOT an emmenagogue or oxytocic herb. What it does is help strengthen the pelvic and uterine muscles so that once labor does start the muscles will be more efficient.

This tea can also be taken after the delivery, to help the uterus contract to it’s original size.

Omega 3

Omega 3 is an ESSENTIAL fatty acid. Although fat is (wrongly) touted as a bad substance that makes us fat and cause cholesterol buildup in the arteries, it is essential to good health. The brain is made up of a large volume of fat. Omega 3 is the building block to the body’s hormones and every single cell wall in the body needs it to function properly. Make sure you take 3000mg to 4000mg daily with your meals. You will need a lot of omega 3 during labour as well. It is much needed for the healing of the bruised tissues after delivery.

Water

We do recommend that you drink A LOT of water during pregnancy. Although some ‘specialist doctors’ will (wrongly) tell you that drinking too much water during the pregnancy is bad for you and causes water retention, quite the contrary is true. It is however important to drink the correct kind of water. You can read more on water here.

Coral 8

For muscles to contract, calcium is required. Magnesium is required to have them relax the muscles. In order to absorb the calcium, you also need vitamin D. Coral 8 contains all of this, plus it’s made from the most absorbable form of calcium, coral calcium. This can also be given during the labour process and helps for pain relief as well as energy levels. The best way would be to slide open a capsule and take the powder under the tongue with a little water.

Caulophyllum (30C)

This homeopathic remedy will help relax an overly tight cervix mouth where slow dilatation leads to great distress and prostration in the labouring woman. It often restores contractions that have ceased and can, in doing so, avoid un-natural interventory steps, like induction or Caesarean Section. You can start taking this remedy three times a day a week or two before your due date and every half hour to every hour during labour.

Cimicifuga (30C)

This remedy acts strongly on the central nervous system, including its impulses to muscular organs like the uterus, improving it’s function. Women who are very agitated during labour or who have a particularly low pain threshold, profit greatly from it’s regular use during labour.

Rescue drops

Will help you cope better if you feel that you are loosing control during labour. Dose frequently for the best effect. You may also find this very useful just before baby is born, when you think you cannot go through with labour or if your body shows symptoms of shock. Should you experience terrible anxiety of sudden onset, just as labour begins, use Aconite (30C) to give relief.

Pulsatilla (30C)

Use this remedy when your labour is very slow to get underway. Pulsatilla will speed it up without stress.

Cell Food

This is such a faithful supplement. I use it mainly during the fourth stage of labour, especially when more oxygen is needed. You can look out for one of two symptoms, tingling lips or a slight blueish tint around the mouth. This is usually an indication that more oxygen is needed. You can put 10 drops in a small amount of water and sip on it, or if things are a bit hectic at this stage, put 2-3 drops straight under her tongue.

Traumeel S

Directly after the delivery take Traumeel S drops under the tongue. This remedy from HEEL helps with the healing of the much bruised tissues and wounds. Take 10 drops every 30 minutes for the first few hours, there after about three times per day, until complete healing has taken place.

Wecesin Powder

This is an awesome remedy! For many mothers, the smell of surgical spirits is synonymous with caring for the newborn baby’s umbilical stump. We have used both in the past and prefer the Wecesin Poweder by far. Straight after every body starts to settle down, and you fit babies first nappy, apply enough of the powder. After each nappy change, repeat this procedure. Within 4 days the dried out piece will drop off and you are done.

Plant Yarrow in your garden, Today

2010-01-17T21:46:00.006+02:00

Yarrow or botanically known as Achillea millefolium is one of the most precious herbs you can have in your garden.

A few years ago, my good friend and colleague Garth Kent told me about the use of Yarrow on bleeding wounds. Well I heard it ant it sort of sank into the sea of information. Last year Linnie started a vegetable garden at home and being the health nuts we are, we wanted to do it 100% natural and organic. This meant, for one, that we did not want to spray any chemical pesticides or herbicides. Linnie did a lot of research on organic gardening and decided to make use of companion planting.

Yarrow is considered an especially useful companion plant, not only repelling some bad insects while attracting good, predatory ones, but also improving soil quality. It attracts predatory wasps, which drink the nectar and then use insect pests as food for their larvae. Similarly, it attracts ladybugs and hoverflies. Its leaves are thought to be good fertilizer, and a beneficial additive for compost.

It is also considered directly beneficial to other plants, improving the health of sick plants when grown near them.

When she told me about Yarrow, I immediately remembered what Garth had told me, years earlier. Well, we planted some and it’s growing all over the veg garden. Some time ago, Danika cut her little finger badly, trying to cut an apple into slices. I was at work and Linnie was at home with the children. When an incident like this happens, my children are trained well. The nearest one will run to see what the matter is, if it’s more than they can handle, the will make alarm and we will get involved. One will run for our natural first aid kit,while the others will stand by for further instructions. In this particular instance, Linnie remembered about the fact that Yarrow stopped bleeding instantly. We had never used it but she decided to give it a try. So while she cleaned the wound, gushing with blood, with some Silvermax, Heidi-Mari ran to the garden and ripped off a piece of Yarrow leaf. Linnie bruised the leaf in the pestle and mortar and applied it to the wound.

Immediately the blood stopped, and the pain was gone instantly! The wound was healed by the next evening.
Now that was our first experience with Yarrow.

About a week ago, another alarm went off. This time it was David. The two boys were already in their bed, supposedly asleep, when we heard the blood curdling cry. I assumed that the one had hit the other one over a toy or something. I was making my way over there to go sort it out, when Josua came running in, shouting: “Come quickly dad, it’s David and there is blood everywhere!”

Now, if that did not get your adrenaline pumping then seeing the blood would. It was blood down his neck, his arm, on the stairs, on the bed - well, like Josua said, everywhere!

We assed the matter quickly, while shouting a few commands like Rescue!, Injura!, towel!and amongst them Yarrow! The older children ran to fetch what we requested. In the meantime I had put my hanky over the wound on the back of his head, but within seconds it was drenched in blood. I found a pile of serviettes, put them on, but the same happened. What seemingly had happened was that they played and David slipped and fell with the back of his head on the corner of a step.

It was then that I personally experienced the miracle of Yarrow. One of the older ones handed me a few leafs of Yarrow. I put it on the wound, and the bleeding stopped as if someone had turned off the tap!

I was amazed. We treated him for shock with more Rescue drops, and Injura drops. We put a little Traumeel S ointment on for the swelling, but the bleeding had stopped. For safety and to keep watch over him, we had him sleep near us for the night. What was furthermore amazing, was that David never once complained of any pain! The next day, he was his old self again.

So, I would seriously urge you, get Yarrow, and plant it in your garden, immediately.

Some other uses for Yarrow include the following.

What Doctors say about vaccinations

2010-01-08T15:54:00.003+02:00

I am giving you the following clip on vaccinations for a number of reasons.

I find that for most people it's really difficult to make a choice that is not in agreement with their doctor. This interview is with a REAL doctor, as you will see. He answers all the questions that parents may have on vaccinations and it's working.

Many of you may know that I am STRONGLY opposed to giving children vaccinations, due to all the devastating side effects it causes. I have yet to come across such a compact but informative piece of information that what I am about to show you. So, enjoy and let me know what your thoughts are. If you need more information, please visit my special page on vaccinations here.

Vaccination Debate

2009-08-31T21:19:00.003+02:00

As many of you may know, we are very much against Vaccinations. In my continued research about this and many other subjects I have come across this excellent web site about vaccinations. I want to encourage you to visit it, read it and send it on to your friends. This may save many, many lives. Read more here...

Swine Flue, what to do, naturally

2009-08-06T10:50:00.009+02:00

Is the "Swine Flu" getting out of hand?

Let me start by saying that bad news sells very well. It is therefore no surprise that the media is overly eager to ride the swine flu wave. I hear of many different letters and e-mails doing the rounds, warning people against basically each and every possible symptom from a runny nose to a fever to fowl smelling flatulence!
Basically what they are saying is: Be very afraid, panic, run to the doctor, get any possible vaccination, as fast as possible. Let me give you an example. We have just learnt of the first South African death of swine flu, its HEAD LINE NEWS! If you study the report, however, it’s clear that it’s unclear why Ruan Müller (22) died, as the internist who treated him does not contribute his death to swine flue. The MEDIA however states it as fact, that swine flu was the cause of his death and thus further fuels the fear of the masses, and the sales of “flu shots” and chemical pills… (Read why a recent study warns against taking Tamiflu)

What makes this flu different from other flu pandemics in the past, is the out of proportion media coverage. Government warnings, WHO warnings etc, etc. Although there are many views on the origin of the swine flu, from unexplainable mutation from 3 different flues, to suggestions that the only possible way it could have originated is in the lab, the fact remains that it’s a bug. I do not want to go into the motives, politics and economics behind the a so called global pandemic, I simply want to give you a few guide lines as how to protect yourself and your loved ones.

If you have seen my DVD Understanding the Health Puzzle, you would know that there are two schools of thought.

The first, and the one that the “scientifically educated” community holds dear, is the bug theory. The bug theory basically states that, in order to be healthy, we need to exterminate the bug. BE sterile! And if you get sick, from the bug, take a substance to kill the bug, and whatever else comes in the way. Hence we suffer from a large range of side effects caused by these wonder bug killing drugs. You may ask but I rather want to be on the safe side, and take the vaccination. Although I do understand this concern, it’s crucial that you look at what you are actually injecting yourself with, and the dangers associated with this.

The second school of thought asks the question: Why is it that we do not all get sick from the same bug? Most people would know the answer to that! Maybe the people that do not get it have a stronger immune system, and they are 100% correct!
My question is, well if people with the stronger immune system do not get sick, or at least not as severely ill from it, then why focus on killing the bug. Would it not be more sensible to boost everybody’s immune system then?

That is exactly what we do in natural medicine.
I am going to give you a few remedies that help the body fight off pathogens, NO MATTER WHAT KIND it is. Remember we had the bird flu, avian flu and now we have the swine flu. Next year we will have some other wonderfully cooked up super bug, the remedy stays the same, feed your immune system!

First, it’s important to make sure your pH is alkaline, read more here…

To further boost the immune system and to make your cells strong so that pathogens find it more difficult to penetrate the cell wall, take your omega 3 oil. The best one I can recommend is Omega SLO. This contains Squaline (very benificial when taken as a supplement - do not confuse this with injected squaline) and Alkoxyglycerols to further strengthen the cells, as well as the body’s hormonal responses.

Extra Vitamin C with added bioflavonoids is VERY important. Preventatively take 2000mg – 3000mg per day. If you do get a cold, up the dosage to 1000mg every hour. The dosage can be adjusted for children. To know when you have reached your saturation level for vitamin C, look for more than usual flatulence or loose bowels. If this happens, simply lower your intake of C for a while. I suggest taking buffered vitamin C with Bioflavonoids.

There are a number of herbs that boosts the immune system. These can be used preventatively. Some of these herbs include , Olive Leaf, Echinacea, Golden Seal, Cat’s Claw, Elderberry, Garlic, Onion, and many, many more. You can take combinations of these that are available or as single herbs. Herbs are available in capsule form, drops or just the raw herb that can be brewed into a tea. It’s hard to find a herb that does not have an immune boosting effect or an anti-microbial property. These have been used for centuries or longer, and have been proven over many years as effective. We also have a premixed remedy called Fight factor. We have been using Fight Factor in combination with vitamin C for many years.

Another great remedy is Silvermax. Silvermax is a very special and potent form of colloidal silver. Colloidal silver has been used for decades against pathogens and to strengthen the immune system. Silvermax comes in a glass bottle with a spray top. Spray it as often as possible in the mouth. It’s also a great remedy taking with you when travelling, specially on aeroplanes.
It’s very good to use antioxidants on a daily basis. Anti oxidants protect you against harmful toxins that you ingest on a daily basis. Here we suggest Activ 8, as the widest spectrum antioxidant and most active, that we have ever come across.

One thing to be careful of is taking un-natural (chemical) cough remedies. At the back of your throat there is a valve, called the epiglottis, that stops anything but air going into your lungs. When mucus forms a post nasal drip, the mucus irritates this valve. Once it senses the irritation, it reacts by sending a burst of air from the lungs up the throat to blast the mucus away. This is called a cough. When you take a “soothing” chemical cough remedy, it deactivates this valve’s action and the mucus can now potentially run into your lungs, causing a far more serious infection called pneumonia.
A great natural cough mixture can be made at home by mixing equal parts Honey, Garlic, Ginger and Brandy. Take a spoon every hour. This is also an expectorant, meaning it will expel mucus.
You may also choose some homeopathic couch remedies like Bronchalis Heel or Husteel or Drosera Homaccord, or Cetralin.

Fever is another scare word, and has to be fought as fiercely as possible, or so you are told. When the body raises it’s temperature, its busy FIGHTING invasion of some sort. This could be a virus. It raises the temperature in order to keep the virus at bay, while making anti-bodies against the invading virus. The virus cannot multiply as fast at a higher body temperature.

When you take an anti-pyretic drug (fever medicine) you short out the body’s natural defence mechanism. You may feel immediate relief, BUT will now take much longer to heal.
The next question I get is: “but what if my child gets convulsions from running a temperature?” Although this RARELY happens, its good to be on the safe side.

We often use Viburcol suppositories from Heel. It’s homeopathic and completely safe. It contains natural substances that will help control fever naturally while also calming down your child. Clinical studies have shown it to be no less effective than paracetamol, but without any of the dangerous side effects. Other remedies include, Fever from Natura and the tissue salt Ferrum Phos. We often give Engystol at the first sign of a fever.

As far as diet is concerned, stay away from wheat products, dairy products and sugar or sugar containing drinks or food. These place a heavy load on the immune system and makes it more difficult for your body to heal.
When there is some sunshine, take off your shirt and absorb the sunlight through your skin for about 15 to 20 minutes every day. Contrary to popular scare tactics, the Sun is actually your friend, not your enemy. DO NOT PUT ON ANY SUN BLOCK. The sun produces vitamin D in your body. The scientifically studied benefits of vitamin D range from cancer fighting to preventing osteoporosis! Let the children play outside in the sun and let them get fresh air.

Last but certainly not least, take your multi vitamins and other supplements regularly. Eat fresh raw organic vegetables and some fruit. Make sure to get good quality proteins like organic meat, egg and chicken. Drink a lot of fresh clean water daily. You can read more about water here.

Are you BLIND to healing, Naturally

2009-06-20T12:03:00.004+02:00

I have composed this from what I have experienced over the years. If you recognize yourself in some of these, I encourage you to look at the facts, and by the grace of God, make a mind shift. So here we go…

I have tried all the natural products and nothing works (been there done that)
Although you may have tried a lot of products, it would be physically impossible to try every health product on the market – there are simply too many on planet earth.
What may have happened, is that you have tried various different remedies that did not work, and thus (with good cause) have lost confidence in natural products. If we investigate the FACTS a little closer we can usually determine what you have used, and why it did not work.
The problem with this kind of attitude is that, if the solution finally came along, you would probably miss it due to this attitude.
FACT: The body is a biological being, and needs the correct natural nutrients to function properly. Supply it, and the body heals.

I don’t believe in natural medicine.
I think it’s very good to be a sceptic. A sceptic is someone who doesn't fully trust or accept an answer or solution without proper verifiable supportive facts. In plain English this means that you don’t just trust blindly, but need to see some backup for claims that are being made, before making a decision. If a sceptic is however presented with these verifiable supportive facts he/she changes their stance. “If the facts change, I change.”
Sadly, this is seldom the case.
Many people, when confronted with facts, choose to not accept hard facts and choose to follow their old ways, I call them disbelievers. A disbeliever is then someone who makes choices based on illogical emotions, beliefs or preconceived ideas, but not facts. In fact about 89% of people fall into this category, only about 11% of people make their choices, based on facts.

This is of cause very important, as this may be a great help or stumbling block in the outcome of a healing process, which is dependant on what you base your decision making process.
FACT: Belief has nothing to do with it. You only need to believe in something that has not been proven.

My Doctor says it’s never been proven scientifically.
Real science tells us to make observations, then make certain deductions, form a hypothesis which is then tested by many different people, before we can form a theory. For the theory to become a law, it has to be verified by countless confirmations over a very long period of time. All that is needed to disprove the law is one counter example. For this reason science never “proofs” anything. It simply states a tendency in which nature reacts.
So then, if we look at some facts behind the good doctors words:
If your doctor studied biology – and we hope he did…. (As medicine is all about how cells in the human body works) then he would have learnt that EVERY single enzymatic pathway in the body requires either a mineral or a vitamin or a fat to work properly.

It is further interesting to note that, annually, more than a million medical papers are published, of which a significant amount is focused on the interaction of natural substances like vitamins, herbs, minerals and fats. In an era of knowledge explosion, it is impossible to keep up with new studies of just natural substances, especially if your waiting room is full of people waiting for you to simply “relieve a symptom”. It is therefore evident that your doctor who brushes off a natural remedy for being “unscientific” is himself being unscientific, as he has not (scientifically) considered the facts – for what ever biased reason.

One would therefore think that when one of your biological processes stop functioning properly that it would be a logical place to start looking for a possible cause, (like a missing biological building block) rather than rushing to a chemical substance.
FACT: The science of natural medicine is well founded on solid scientific facts. It is up to the health practitioner to apply it correctly to your benefit.
FACT: What your doctor holds deer as scientific has provided the world with, to name but one, Vioxx. (Source: Wikipedia)
Rofecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) marketed by Merck & Co. to treat osteoarthritis, acute pain conditions, and dysmenorrhoea. Rofecoxib was approved as safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 20, 1999, and was subsequently marketed under the brand name Vioxx, Ceoxx and Ceeoxx.
Rofecoxib gained widespread acceptance among physicians treating patients with arthritis and other conditions causing chronic or acute pain. Worldwide, over 80 million people were prescribed rofecoxib at some time.
On September 30, 2004, Merck voluntarily withdrew rofecoxib from the market because of concerns about increased risk of heart attack and stroke associated with long-term, high-dosage use. Rofecoxib was one of the most widely used drugs ever to be withdrawn from the market. In the year before withdrawal, Merck had sales revenue of US$2.5 billion from Vioxx.
Fabricated efficacy studies
On March 11, 2009, Scott S. Reuben, former chief of acute pain at Baystate Medical Center, Springfield, Mass., revealed that data for 21 studies he had authored for the efficacy of the drug (along with others such as celecoxib) had been fabricated in order to augment the analgesic effects of the drugs. Dr. Reuben was also a former paid spokesperson for the drug company Pfizer. The retracted studies were not submitted to either the FDA or the European Union's regulatory agencies prior to the drugs approval. Drug manufacturer Merck had no comment on the disclosure.
In addition to its own studies, on September 23, 2004 Merck apparently received information about new research by the FDA that supported previous findings of increased risk of heart attack among rofecoxib users (Grassley, 2004). FDA analysts estimated that Vioxx caused between 88,000 and 139,000 heart attacks, 30 to 40 percent of which were probably fatal, in the five years the drug was on the market.

“So much for what modern medicine considders as scientific”

My doctor says that Vitamin pills simply produce expensive urine.
I drink water and go to the loo quite often; does that mean I should not drink water? Of cause not! The fact that my body excretes water does not mean it did not fulfil a vital function in the body. The same goes for any food supplement.
FACT: Following a healthy supplementing regime is like providing your body with a healthy buffet of micro nutrients. The body gets to choose how much of each nutrient it needs, and discards the rest. This is what makes the body function, weather it’s food, water or a food supplement you take in.

The dietician warned that I should not take any supplements, as I get everything in my diet, as long as I follow a balanced diet.
I always explain that if the farmer did not put it in the soil, it’s not in the plant, no matter what the text book (from the USA) states. And the problem is that a scientific analysis of our mass agricultural over farmed soils indicate that the soil is heavily depleted from micronutrients. The farmers, simply take out way more from the soil, than what is put back. Further more, a constant spraying of chemicals on produce, reduce the micro-organisms in the soil. These micro organisms help feed the plant and convert some of the nutrients in soil for plant usage.
FACT: We need food supplements due to a lack of essential nutrients in the foods we consume as a result of chemical mass agriculture, often prolonged cold storage and over processing of food.

My Doctor says I should avoid taking any vitamins while on his treatment.
I often hear people say that they are on a blood thinning medication or that blood pressure pill or special cancer treatment and that they cannot take anything!
Did your doctor tell you to stop eating then? Unlike chemical preparations, natural supplements are simply FOOD. We take it because we are missing out on it in our modern diet. Although food supplements can be very potent, it is generally impossible for a food supplement to interfere with a chemical preparation, due to the overriding effect an unnatural chemical has in your body.
FACT: At most, a food supplement will enhance your body. If you have doubts about taking a natural food supplement alongside an unnatural chemical, ask a competent natural health practitioner for advice.

My Doctor says that I can eat what I like; diet plays no role in my disease.
I often hear this, which is another contradiction, from the good doctor. If food has no influence on my condition why should I then avoid taking vitamin pills which, as I explained, is simply food in a capsule? Why would garlic when eaten raw be ok, but suddenly become dangerous, or simply be excreted in urine, when dried and ground up and put in a capsule?

FACT: Any food and therefore micro nutrients that we eat, has a DIRECT influence on our health. We are what we eat, or don’t eat!
Diet has a direct impact on conditions like, diabetes, blood pressure, cancer, breast milk to babies, sinusitis, asthma and every conceivable disease on earth.
It would be like telling a pilot of a fighter jet, that the kind of fuel he fills up, has no impact on the jet’s performance, as long as it’s flammable. Such an idea is inconceivable! How much more inconceivable (let alone un scientific) to think that food has no impact on a biological mechanism that is arguably the most complex being ever designed – the human body.

Everyone says their products are the best – what makes yours special? I just don’t believe any one.
This is probably the MOST frustrating thing for anyone trying to buy a good quality supplement – and for a retailer. Not a week goes past that we do not get a rep into the shop, trying to sell us the best in the west…
Over the years we have seen many, many products come, go and a few stay. As marketing can be very deceiving one needs to look at a few technical details. Here are a few:
1. The best packaging is in glass – NOT plastic. So if the “best product” comes in a plastic container, be weary.
2. Look for the “fine print” called the Ingredients. This is not the run down of the mg of certain vitamins, herbs or minerals a product contains. The ingredients list tells you what is actually in the tablet you are about to swallow. Avoid things like, Talcum, parabens, magnesium steareate, sucrose, glucose, fructose and the like. We call these the “gratis extras”

3. If it’s part of a MLM scheme, it is always overpriced for what you are getting. They will almost always tell you that there is simply no other product available like this (the agents are well trained to answer your immediate responses, AND they depend on your enrolling for their commission – stay away)
4. Preservatives. If a product contains any chemical preservative – stay away. We had a case where a well known “organic” facial range were offered to us. There were no indications as to it containing preservatives. On further inquiry we found out that it contained no less than two chemical preservatives! There would be no way, you as the consumer would know this, unless you were made aware of it by an honest retailer. You may choose to use it, but we don’t stock it. There are simply better alternatives.
5. Always go for a capsule, rather than a tablet. In order to get the ingredients into a tablet form the manufacturer uses a range of anti-caking, free flowing, filling or binding agents. You don’t want to swallow it. Capsules, generally, are free from these.

I cannot afford your products
It’s always nice to know how people come to this conclusion. Good quality products cost money. If you think R200 is a lot for a product that meets very stringent criteria, some of which I have described above, then consider the alternative. My father in law contracted cancer, took chemo, radiation and surgery. He had hell for 5 years and died. The total cost, just over 1Million Rand! Now that’s a bad deal!
A good metabolic recovery program would not have been 10% of that, and he may still have been alive, or at least have had a better last few years in quality of life. Unfortunately the medical aid usually does not pay for food in a capsule form. So you may be forced to change a few priorities in your life, in order to afford good health. Do it, it’s a small price to pay.
There is a saying: “People spend their health to gain wealth, then want to spend their wealth to buy back health, unfortunately it is often too late”

I cannot eat like this – I want to enjoy my life.
This is the same illogical reasoning that saying; I like to drive fast; I don’t like adhering to the speed limit. You may get away with it for a while, but it always catches up with you in the long run. It’s a law of nature.
I often find that people have a skewed perception of healthy eating. Something like, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, vial tasting tofo topped with a healthy shot of green juice.
Although some may consider this to be healthy, the facts reveal something quite different. There are obvious really bad things that needs to be avoided, but there is a wonderful (mostly undiscovered) world top quality meat, fish, grains, organic vegetables, water and wine that builds your body, rather than placing a constant load on your system.

I will ask my doctor before I take these supplements
Considering the facts about doctors and their unscientific approach to metabolic therapy, would you say they are generally qualified to give you a well informed, well considered opinion on metabolic supportive food supplements? I don’t think so. They would generally brush it aside with a single derogative statement of arrogance, to hide their deep seated ignorance regarding scientifically verified natural remedies and vested financial interest in pharmacological products. They would then further present their (dangerous and expensive) pharmaceutical concoctions as the only real option.

I was told by my doctor that my illness is incurable, so I will just have to live with it.
It always amazes me how a doctor or clinic nurse gets people to buy into accepting a disease as their own, for life. Their illness becomes like a pet. They accept blindly what the so called authority on the subject says. Like a life sentence.

This reminds me of what happens when someone is ‘healthy’ and go to the doctor, only to find out that they have some terminal disease, that will not let them live past 2 months. Two months later the ‘patient’ who believed the authority is dead from the terminal disease. Three months later, however, it’s discovered that the doctor had the records mixed up. The Healthy guy is dead and the terminally ill guy is still alive, 3 years later.

If people come to me with the “life sentence” story, I always ask: “So, were you born with it?” the obvious answer is, no. Well then you must have developed it over time, due to some metabolic shortage or imbalance, and in that case, given the correct missing nutrients your body will revert back to normal.

I have a hereditary illness, so there is nothing I can do to make it better.
Genetics are often blamed when the doctor cannot determine the cause of a disease. “It’s genetic” is like saying “I have no clue where this comes from”
Although genetics play a vital role in your health, I have very rarely seen it as the real cause of a problem.
Contrary to popular belief, genes can be switched on or off. We often see this in babies, who produce an enzyme to digest milk. As they grow up, the gene switches off, and the enzyme production seizes. They, however continue consuming dairy products, and develop sinus, eczema, asthma and other “genetic” illnesses.
So many times people are on toxic drugs for life, when it’s simply inappropriate. Given the correct metabolic support, they can usually be helped very successfully.

Is jy te suur?

2009-05-24T21:28:00.007+02:00

Soos baie ander dinge in die lewe, word ons gesondheid ook deur ŉ paar grondbeginsels onderhou. Ons Skeppergod, het toe Hy ons liggame gemaak het, bepaal dat ons aan sekere beginsels onderwerp sou wees. Ons moet bv. voedsame kos en water inneem, genoeg oefening en rus kry anders neem die funksies van ons liggame doodgewoon af en sterf ons, dalk voordat ons die taak wat Hy ons opgelê het, kon voltooi.

In opvolgende artikels sal ons in diepte kyk na die kwaliteit en hoeveelheid water wat ons liggame nodig het, ook watter soorte moderne kossoorte probleme in ons liggame mag veroorsaak en hoe ons dit met uitstekende alternatiewe kan vervang. Ek kry gereeld vra oor hoe mens regtig seker kan wees dat jy gesond leef , is daar dan nie ŉ manier wat mens kan gebruik om te bepaal hoe gesond jy regtig is nie, of leef jy maar net voort en hoop vir die beste?

Baie van die moderne mediese wetenskap is egter beperk tot die behandeling van ŉ siektestoestand, nie die voorkoming daarvan nie. Daar is bv. meer as die helfte van mense wat in die hospitaal beland met aangepakte are, wie se cholesterol vlakke normaal is. Dit beteken dood eenvoudig dat die groot geveg teen cholesterol nie so effektief is as wat ons wysgemaak word nie, iets anders is ŉ belangriker faktor in die aanpaksels in ons are – meer hieroor op ŉ volgende keer.

Jou dokter en polisieman is goeie ouens om byderhand te hê wanneer ŉ noodsituasie onstaan. Maar net soos die polisieman maar min kan doen voordat ŉ misdaad gepleeg is, kan jou dokter min doen aan jou gesondheid voordat ŉ simptoom kop uitsteek. In baie gevalle is dit dan reeds te laat. By vyftig persent van vroue, met hart probleme, is die eerste simptoom, wanneer hulle dood neerval – sonder enige vroeëre waarskuwing of simptome!

Die moderne manier van siektes behandel is om te wag tot ŉ simptoom voorkom en om dan daardie simptoom te probeer onderdruk deur behandeling. Neem bv. ŉ hoofpyn wat behandel word deur ŉ hoofpynpil te neem. Die hoofpyn is egter selde ŉ toestand in dit self, dis veel eerder ŉ waarskuwings sein van die liggaam dat iets onderliggend fout is. Maar as ons die hoofpyn behandel het, deur dit te onderdruk, voel ons, ons was suksesvol. Die onderliggende probleem is egter steeds daar en soek slegs na ŉ volgende manier om jou te laat weet dat daar ŉ probleem bestaan.
Sien, ŉ simptoom onstaan in ŉ sekere sisteem (bv. die spysverterings stelsel). Sisteme bestaan uit spesifieke organe (bv. die maag of die kolon. Organe bestaan uit weefsel en die weefsel bestaan weer uit selle.
Wanneer ons dus ŉ simptoom soos ŉ hoofpyn behandel, gee ons bloot die liggaam ŉ chemikalie wat die orgaan binne in ŉ spesifieke sisteem vir ŉ tydjie buite aksie stel en jou op die oppervlak beter laat voel. Die onderliggende weefsel en selle is egter steeds ongesond, en wanneer die orgaan dan weer begin lewe voel, kom die simptoom weer na vore. Dit raak dan ŉ bose kringloop totdat ons genoeg van die orgaan gehad het en dit laat uitsny – wat steeds nie die probleem oplos nie, aangesien God dit daar geplaas het vir ŉ baie spesifieke rede, en dit kan nie nou meer vervul word nie.
Ek sien gereeld mense wat sommer ŉ lys chemiese pille neem. Een vir bloeddruk, een vir cholesterol, een vir diabetes en dan voel hulle so depressief dat ŉ antidepressant en slaappil ook nodig is. Hierdie konkoksie laat die kolon dan gaan stil staan, en daarvoor gebruik hulle dan ŉ gewoontevormende lakseer middel. So dink hulle dan het hulle al die simptome goed behandel...

Wel, daar is maniere om te weet of jy gesond is en hoe gesond jy regtig is.
Die eerste plek om te begin is om te verstaan dat as jou liggaam uit gesonde selle bestaan, sal hulle gesonde weefsel bou. Gesonde weefsel sal dan gesonde organe vorm. Gesonde organe vorm dan gesonde sisteme, en wanneer sisteme gesond en optimaal funksioneer, kom simptome nie voor nie.
Die vraag is dan, hoe weet jy dat jou selle gesond of ongesond is?
Gesonde selle word gevoed deur mikro nutriënte, waarvan ons daagliks sommer ŉ hele klomp benodig waaronder; 72 spoor minerale, 26 Vitamiene, 21 Aminosure, 2 Essensiële vetsure, 8 suikers, antioksidante en nog meer. Omdat ons moderne kos ons nie meer van baie van hierdie voedingstowwe kan voorsien nie moet ons dit gewoonlik in een of ander soort aanvulling inneem. Hieroor sal ons op ŉ volgende keer gesels.
Wat egter baie meer fundamenteel is, is dat ons hierdie mikro voedingstowwe moet kan absorbeer, tot in die selle, wat dit nodig het om korrek te funksioneer, en dan begin om gesonde weefsel te bou, wat op hul beurt weer gesonde organe bou en so voorts totdat ons werklik gesond is.

Die sentrale faktor in jou liggaam wat bepaal of voedingstowwe opgeneem word of nie, is iets wat ons jou pH noem. Dit is doodgewoon ŉ aanduiding van hoe suur of alkalies jou liggaam is. Ek moet dadelik noem dat baie mense dit verkeerdelik met maagsuur en sooibrand verbind, nee die suur of alkali waarvan ek hier praat is die soort ding wat kan veroorsaak dat jy seer spiere of seer gewrigte of talle ander siektes ontwikkel.

Vergelyk dit met jou swembad. As die pH balans van jou swembad te suur is, gewoonlik onder 7 dan begin dinge skeef loop. Alge en ander goggas begin groei, die water raak troebel en kan later begin sleg ruik. Wanneer die pH egter bo 7 is, gewoonlik 7.2, is dit alkalies en kan hierdie soort goggas nie groei nie en geniet almal die plesier van skoon helder blou water.

Dit werk baie dieselfde in jou liggaam. Wanneer die pH te suur is kan goggas soos bakterie en ander begin groei en siektestoestande begin ontwikkel. Hierdie suur pH in ons liggame is dan ook die mees belangrike faktor wat bepaal of ons voedingstowwe die selle bereik, al dan nie. Ons kan die pH meet deur ŉ eenvoudige speeksel toets te doen met ŉ stukkie litmus papier. Wanneer die litmus papier met die speeksel in aanraking kom verander dit van kleur na gelang van ons pH. Gewoonlik word die papiertjie meer geel of groen as ons suur is of blou as ons pH alkalies is. Die pH van ons speeksel verteenwoordig die pH van ŉ belangrike oordrag vloeistof tussen ons bloedvaatjies en ons selle, en die pH hiervan behoort ŉ ideaal van 7.5 te handhaaf. Indien die pH onder 7 is kan oordrag van ons mikro voedingstowwe nie effektief plaasvind nie en word ons weefsel selle siek as gevolg van te min kos, en dan begin die proses van ongesonde organe ens. weer van voor af.

In die allerdaagse lewe is daar sommer baie dinge wat kan maak dat ons te suur is. Die grootste hiervan is dit wat ons verkeerd eet en drink. Hierdie is die verfynde of geprosesseerde kosse of kosse of koeldrank wat belaai is met suiker of ander suur vormende bestanddele en wat gewoonlik gestroop is van goeie voedingstowwe.
Soos wat ek in ŉ ander artikel verduidelik het is dit van kardinale belang dat ons water moet inneem wat genoeg minerale bevat en waarvan die pH meer alkalies van aard is. Hierdie is een van die beste maniere om te verseker dat ons pH aan die alkaliese kant van sake bly.

Om die kolon nie skoon en gereeld te ledig nie, is seker een van die grootste faktore wat meeste mense wat ek sien kortwiek. Wanneer ons die kolon nie ten minste twee maal per dag ledig nie, kan van die voedselreste wat te lank in die kolon bly begin afbreek in giftige produkte. Hierdie produkte word dan opgeneem in die stelsel en veroorsaak dat die stelsel se pH meer en meer suur word.
Een van die beste maniere om die kolon aan die gang te kry is om daagliks 2 eetlepels lyn saad in ŉ groot glas water te neem. Dit gee die baie nodige vesel aan die kolon om sy ontgiftings en uitskeidings taak effektief te verrig. Dit spreek van self dat ŉ dieet wat genoeg, gesonde vesel bevat sake net kan verbeter. Soos ek in ŉ ander artikel genoem het is genoeg goeie kwaliteit water van uiterse belang wanneer vesel ingeneem word anders kan die hoë vesel teen produktief wees as dit in die kolon vassteek omdat daar te min vloeistof is om gladde beweging te verseker.

Spreuke 14:30 “’n Rustige hart is die lewe vir die vlees, maar hartstog ’n verrotting vir die gebeente.”
Wanneer ŉ mens te veel stres of spanning beleef, of wanneer ŉ mens in onvergewende bitterheid leef , word jy suur. As jy suur word en nie die nodige alkaliese water en voedsel inneem nie, neem jou liggaam kalsium uit jou bene om te keer dat jy dadelik sterf. As die situasie dan lank voortduur, word massas minerale uit jou bene onttrek, en ontstaan osteoporose of een of meer van ŉ reeks degeneratiewe soort siektes.

Om gesond te wees is en te bly, is dit dus baie belangrik dat jy sorg dat jy gesonde selle het. Gesonde selle het mikro voedingstowwe nodig en kan dit slegs opneem as jou pH alkalies is en die ideaal is om jou speeksel se pH by 7.5 te hou.

My gebed is dat hierdie jou sal help om ’n rustige hart te hê en dat dit lewe vir jou vlees sal wees, sodat jy jou Godgegewe roeping op aarde tot eer van ons Vader kan uitleef.

Are you dangerously obedient?

2009-04-05T21:09:00.003+02:00

This may seem like a strange question, as we are always taught to be obedient to authority.
It has been a longstanding question in my mind, why some people would accept the truth about their health, take action and heal themselves; where as other people would hear the truth, understand it but then go back to the doctor for continued unfruitful treatments.

The Milgram experiments from the early 1960's are classic (but shocking) studies that demonstrated the "sheeple-ness" of people everywhere. In the experiments -- which have been replicated numerous times across multiple cultures, races and age ranges -- subjects willingly engaged in administering extremely painful electric shocks to other human beings for no reason other than the fact they were ordered to do so by an apparent authority figure.

These studies have long demonstrated the "do what I'm told" mentality of approximately 70 percent of the population. Only 30 percent of the study subjects refused to torture fellow human beings when so ordered.

Now, this famous study has been replicated at Santa Clara University in California. It's important to understand that in none of these studies were humans actually being tortured or given electric shocks, but the study subjects believed they were administering such torture because the apparent recipients of the electric shocks were actors who screamed in pain to coincide with the apparent delivery of the electric shocks.

The true "subjects" of the study were actually the people recruited to administer the electric shocks. But as is common in many psychological experiments, they were told they were simply taking part in the study of the other person (the person being shocked), and they had to administer electric shocks to that person if they answered questions incorrectly. Meanwhile, the study "enforcer" (one of the true researchers running the whole thing) would command the administration of such electric shocks at increasingly painful levels, starting at low voltage and increasing the voltage well beyond 150 volts (which can be lethal).

There's another fascinating element to all this: Virtually everyone thinks they would never administer the electric shocks if they took part in the Milgram experiments. But when faced with the aggressive verbal demands of the researcher, they give in and punch the shock button anyway. The study reveals that only 30% of people, from all walks of life, would not administer the torture and that 70% would!

In my experience, this is exactly what happens when people visit me for a health consultation. I would explain to them, in understandable logic, why un-natural medicine fails massively at curing their diseased body, yet once they have been verbally abused and overwhelmed with scientific sounding medical jargon, they revert back to the “obedient state”, of cause much to their own determent and often physical demise.

I often hear:
“Thanks for explaining everything so simple, but I will have to ask my doctor’s permission to use these (food-supplements)”

You can show people the “Sceintific medical studies” on the ineffectiveness of for instance Statins (Cholesterol lowering medicine) versus Omega 3 Oils, but they will still want their doctor to OK it. The doctor of cause does not get a kick back from prescribing omega 3 oils, thus making it very difficult for him to understand the dangers of using chemical “medicine”.

You may think that you are not that stupid, and would never make such a foolish decision, well, have you considered the following:

Your doctor will tell you that using the contraceptive pill, IUD, Hormone Replacement Therapy or sterilization is 100% safe.
Yet, when confronted with facts like, it causes breast cancer, cervical cancer, endometriosis, weight gain, loss of libido, strokes, heart failure and the rest, do you stop using it? (When asked about these, your trustworthy doctor obviously denounce these as negligible)

Your doctor, clinic sister, school, and friends will tell you that vaccinating your child against “dangerous” diseases is 100% safe.
When confronted with the facts about the diseases it causes like, autism, juvenile diabetes, childhood cancers and the like, would you administering it? (When asked about these, your trustworthy doctor obviously denounce these as negligible, although we have an epidemic of these diseases on hand)

When you develop cancer (with modern life style, your chances could be as high as 1 in 4), your doctor will claim that chemo therapy, radiation and surgery is the only way out, and is 50% effective.
When confronted with the true facts behind how the pharmaceutical industry mix and match statistics to conjure up the wonderful effectiveness about the suggested chemo therapy, and that in actual fact it’s less than 4% effective, would you consider the natural alternative with no side effects? Or would you somehow convince yourself that it’s a matter of life and death, and that your doctor has your best interest at heart, and therefore his treatment must work?

These are just a few examples of how we become mindlessly obedient to the authorities in white coats with stethoscopes around the neck speaking a secret language that ordinary people do not comprehend.

Case in point: A lady phones me in a terrible state. She has been sick for years with lung problems, the medical fraternity could not find out what was wrong. After years she went to a new doctor that was able to diagnose her illness (that’s the good news) for which there is no cure! The disease was “diagnosed” as ‘Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis’. The funny part is that ‘idiopathic’ means “we have no idea what causes” your lung to grow extra fibre!! But it is diagnosed, sounds very scientific and means absolutely nothing.

When something goes wrong next time, will you be one of the mindlessly obedient 70%, or will you do some mindful research of your own, and draw your own logical conclusion and be part of the 30%?

How often do you go?

2009-02-06T17:11:00.002+02:00

Early on I learned that what people consider as a normal bowel movement differs hugely from person to person. Your doctor will tell you that one in 3 days or 3 in one day is normal.
To me it’s simple maths. You eat 3 times a day; there is 7 days in a week. So the total meals you consume are at least 21 per week. Now you want to tell me that going once a day or every second day is normal?
My question is simple, what happens to the remaining 2/3 of the food rests in your colon? I will tell you, they ROT!

I just consulted someone that has 2 bowel movements a month. She is on laxatives that have now become totally ineffective. When ever she goes to the doctor with another ailment (that arises due to faecal matter building up in the colon) the doctor diagnoses it as a “new ailment” for which he prescribes another drug or test or surgical procedure. She has now become septic and her quality of life has completely deteriorated.
I am amazed at the stupidity of the professionals!
No one has ever asked her any of the following questions:
How much water (not fluid) do you drink?
What kind of food do you eat? (O yes I forgot diet has NO impact on your health)
Has your appendix been removed? (No, it’s not a useless organ; it’s crucial to proper digestion)
Are you very stressed?
On what kind of chemical medication are you (the ALL have “GI disturbances” listed as a side effect)

So, what do we do?
Well, we started by cleaning out the body, correcting the diet, giving alkaline water and the best probiotics available. In 5 days, I expect to see an improvement.

The Balancing act

2009-02-02T21:55:00.004+02:00

I have found that there are a few basics in life. Do this right and a lot of things tend to work. Do them wrong, and life turns into a disaster. You know you should do it, in fact most people know they should do this right, yet often fail to. Just think of some of them like, driving too fast, drink lots of water, avoid too much coffee, don’t eat lots of sugar, exercise regularly, make that phone call you have been putting off for so long, pay your tax. The list goes on and on, and on. You KNOW you should do it, but it’s like your brain is programmed to not respond.

We have been told that having fruit or a combination of fruit, yogurt and muesli or a smoothy or shake for breakfast is what gives you a healthy start to your day. The reason for this, it is explained, is that this kind of breakfast is what is needed to cleanse your system early in the morning or to start the day healthy. This sounds logical and wonderful, until you look closer.

Looking at it purely from a scientific physiological point of view, the reality is a little less favourable than you may think. If you have a breakfast like fruit and yogurt and maybe muesli added or a slice of toast or shake or a cereal the following happens. As these foods are very easy for the body to digest (this being touted as the big benefit of eating such a breakfast) you find that as a result, the blood glucose level spikes a few minutes after eating breakfast. The body notices this and act appropriately by secreting insulin, created to facilitate the transfer of glucose from the blood into the tissue cells, like the muscles, brain etc.

But because there is a fast rising in the blood glucose level (due to the rapid conversion of the simple sugars in your breakfast to glucose) the body secretes too much insulin into the blood, creating a rapid outflow of blood glucose into the tissue cells, resulting in a very low blood glucose level soon after you ate.
In reality you go from a low blood sugar, feeling low, to a very high blood sugar level, a feeling of being on to of the world, only to find yourself with a very low blood sugar level a few minutes later and a feeling of the world being on top of you again.

For a child going to school this means eating breakfast at say, 07:00, rushing off to school hitting a sugar high just before school starts bouncing with energy, and sometimes bouncing off the walls. But then, an hour after breakfast comes the down where the blood sugar drops very low and the child has absolutely no control over his brain. They want to fall asleep, and have NO concentration ability (now in the classroom). They struggle through the first few classes, to break time, to get to the tuck shop! After the sugar load from the tuck shop the cycle starts again and again resulting in endless mood swings, bringing on, bad behaviour and bad marks. And then Ritalin follows…

The same is true for any adult. The only difference is that we adults have free access to ‘snacks’ like coffee, tea, biscuits more fruit sweets or soft drinks. As a result we eat far more than we should, resulting in growing sideways instead of upwards and in severe cases, antidepressants, anxiety tablets and the like. In ongoing cases this constant oscillation of blood sugar results in diabetes, and for that we take even more insulin!

All this happens due to eating the incorrect kind of breakfast! The cure is so simple, yet only an elected few choose to follow it. No, the remedy is NOT to eat six small meals. You do not even have time to prepare one decent meal, breakfast, let alone six! You will either be preparing food or consuming it for the whole day. No one has this kind of time at hand, anyway most people I have consulted don’t.

The remedy is to have a breakfast comprising of an animal protein and a complex carbohydrate.
This means having your oats WITH an egg, or your slice of 100% rye/spelt toast WITH one or two eggs or mince or sardines or tuna or beef sausage or the like (and no pork or bacon). NO, not seeds and nuts, these could be snacks, but certainly NOT breakfast.
Yes, you may eat lots of eggs as the people who told you that eggs are bad for your cholesterol, lied, like the people who told you butter is bad and margarine is good, and that eating fruit for breakfast is healthy.
Lunch could be something like quinoa or brown rice with chicken, or egg or fish leftovers mixed in with some of your favourite veggies like onion, garlic, peppers, tomatoes etc.

If you follow this principle for lunch and supper, you will have a stable blood glucose level and sustained energy throughout the whole day.
The combination of an animal protein and a complex carbohydrate digests much slower, resulting in a slow rise and fall of blood sugar over a long period of time. No sugar spikes and no sugar lows, lots of concentration ability and lots of energy with no mood swings.

Fruit now becomes a snack between meals and not the main meal.

More than often I explain to clients how to balance their blood sugar, only to find that when I see them 5 days later, they have done the exact opposite! I guess it must be one of those things that are simple to understand but difficult to do. So maybe you want to give it a try.

Someone once said: Skill is knowing how to, Knowledge is knowing how to apply that skill, Wisdom is knowing when to apply, and applying it is called: virtue.

Healing a Broken bone

2009-01-18T21:31:00.016+02:00

My son CJ (14) just loves horses. He is an excellent rider, very safe, and makes very sure that his horse is properly prepared and cared for, before he gets on to ride.

On this particular day, someone refused to take their horse out of the arena, before CJ entered with his horse. The other horse that was in the arena is known to be a moody and naughty horse. All went well, until CJ passed him. For no reason he kicked up with his hind legs, kicking CJ and his horse, and injuring both. I uttered a loud shout to the horse as I looked across the arena, and he stopped.

When CJ got to me, his face filled with pain, I had realised he had received a hard blow from the naughty horse.
He got one kick on the fibula (between the knee and the ankle) and one on the foot's small bones (between the ankle and the little toe!!) His riding boot was kicked to pieces, and he could hardly walk.
A few weeks before, I had made him a small first aid kit that he could carry in his bag to the horses. In the past I just sent some Rescue and Injura drops, a few plasters and some T raumeel S ointment with him, which proved very useful over time, as he helped many children that came off a horse and met the ground with a rather sudden stop.

We immediately gave him some Rescue drops, followed by Injura drops. I carefully took the boot and sock off and discovered that (fortunately) it was not an open wound. I applied some Traumeel S ointment to the areas that was not well defined at this stage, as the pain was all over.

When we got home I examined the areas more closely and found that the fibula was just badly bruised. The foot was very sore and had a small fracture.

I immediately started the treatment that I learned from a good friend, Garth Kent. The remedy is to put CMO cream on the area, then soak a bandage in some Apple Cyder vinegar and apply it over the area.

In this case I mixed some Traumeel S ointment into the CMO. We then poured some organic apple cider vinegar into a bowel an soaked part of the bandage in it.

I then applied the wet part of the bandage to the foot and the fibula area.

We wrapped the bandage firmly around the area, and the pain disappeared within 5 minutes. I kept in doing this for about 4 days, at which point he was able to walk and jump again without any problems.

At the same time, during the days of his foot and leg healing I also fed him extra doses of the following supplements; CMO Capsules, Omega SLO capsules, Beriola capsules, Activ 8 antioxidants and extra Vitamin C capsules. I had him drink lots of filtered water with Coral Calcium sachets in the water. This makes the water highly alkaline and the Coral speeds up the healing tremendously.

Now he is 100% recovered and riding better than before!

I have done this a few times before. The first time was when Josua was only 4 years old and fell off a chair, hurting his elbow badly. This is where I saw the incredible pain relieving power of Apple Cider vinegar. Josua's crying stopped as we were applying the bandage soaked in the apple cider vinegar.

Cancer is a Fungus

2009-01-12T22:47:00.001+02:00

This is such IMPORTANT information, I thought I had to share it with you:

Dr. Dr. Simoncini
Is a roman doctor specialising in oncology, diabetology andin metabolic disorders

If 40, 30, or even 20 years ago it was still possible to somehow convince people of the goodness of official oncology and of its results, today, after results that are as continuous as they are inane, although trumpeted regularly by the media, nobody accepts being seduced by words, about hypotheses and promises that are undelivered and undeliverable, any longer. The painful awareness, which almost everyone has experienced, of the miserable end of this or that relative, friend, or acquaintance, is associated with these failures.We must surrender to the evidence that contemporary oncology is incapable of giving us the answers and the necessary to those who are cancer patients and that therefore it is our moral and ethical obligation to try to find the correct solution for the gravest and most painful disease of our time.

Cancer is a fungus For about 100 years, the fundamental theory behind cancer has been based on the hypothesis that it is a malfunctioning of the genes. This point of view implies that cancer is intracellular. My point of view however is that cancer is a fungal infection, and therefore an extra cellular phenomenon.

Candida In the plant world, cancers are caused by a fungal invasion, and it is possible to argue that the same thing happens in human beings. Fungi are always involved in cancers: they are found both in vivo and in the post-mortem examination*. However, scientists believe that they develop after the onset of the illness. My opinion is that they come before it: they produce the cancer, blunt the immune system and then invade the entire organism. Each type of cancer is caused by fungi of the Candida species, as also referenced by other research*, and the histological configuration is a result of the defence reaction of a tissue against the invasion. In time, the tissue gets exhausted and produces only undifferentiated cells. A cancer could be termed a ‘solid abscess,’ where the colonies form the centre, and host cellular reaction is all around.

Sodium bicarbonateTraditional anti-fungal drugs are ineffective in treating tumours because the solid colonies can be attacked only on the surface of their volume, and after the first administrations they become resistant. A solid infection is much more powerful than a bacterial one. That is why simple fungal infections can last forever. I have identified the substances uniquely able to penetrate these volumetric infections: for cancer of the internal organs it is sodium bicarbonate; and the best substance to eliminate skin cancer is iodine tincture, particularly when it is spread onto the growth. There are many publications that describe the effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate on cancer*, but the conclusions drawn in them are invariably wrong because they assume intracellular, rather than antifungal action.

The treatment My methods have cured people for 20 years. Many of my patients recovered completely from cancer, even in cases where official oncology had given up. The best way to try to eliminate a tumour is to bring it into contact with sodium bicarbonate, as closely as possible, i.e. using oral administration for the digestive tract, enemas for the rectum, douching for the vagina and uterus, intravenous injection for the lung and the brain, and inhalation for the upper airways. Breasts, lymph nodes and subcutaneous lumps can be treated with local perfusions. The internal organs can be treated with sodium bicarbonate by locating suitable catheters in the arteries (of the liver, pancreas, prostate, and limbs) or in the cavities (of the pleura or peritoneum). It is important to treat each type of cancer with the right dosage. For a phleboclysis, 500 cc at 5% or 8,4% is required; for external administrations it is enough to taste if the solution is salty. Sometimes it is judicious to combine different administrations. For each treatment, take into consideration that tumour colonies regress between the third and fourth day and collapse between the fourth and fifth, so that a six day administration is sufficient. A complete, effective cycle is made up of six treatment days on, and six days off, repeated four times. The most important side effects of this care system are thirst and weakness. For skin cancer, a 7% iodine tincture should be spread on the affected area, 20-30 times once a day, with the aim of producing a number of layers of crusts. After this treatment, the cancer will be gone and stay away forever.

Pediatric oncology This therapy is also applicable in paediatric oncology, provided the dosage is adjusted and revised according to the weight and age of the infant, as well as the type of neoplastic formation.

Clinical cases Several well-documented clinical cases, examined before and after sodium bicarbonate treatments, were reported on and outlined on www.cancerfungus.com.I wrote a book entitled ‘Cancer is a Fungus’ published in Italian, Dutch and English, thanks to the help of family and friends. Video footage of patient testimonials is also available on the internet site mentioned above. My deep wish is to make this therapy available to all humanity. In order to do so I must carry on my research. This research is done privately, since I have received no response from official institutions — despite having published the results of the well-documented and successful clinical cases I have treated. It is my firm hope that soon, the fundamental role of fungi in the development of neoplastic disease is acknowledged, so that it is possible to find, with the help of all existing forces of the health establishment, those anti-mycotic drugs and those systems of therapy that can quickly defeat, without damageand suffering, a disease that brings so much devastation to humanity.
