The Suppression of ... the Cure and Cause of all Disease

The American Association of lymphology indicates that laboratory research and studies on the cause and cure of all diseases were done between 1930 and 1963 at the Harvard, Tulane and Mississippi medical schools by Drs Cecil H Drinker, H. S Myerson and Arthur C. Guyton ...

... but were suppressed by special interest. 

They believe that every healing art involves the movement of oxygen into the cells ... while all illness including cancer involves the movement of oxygen away from the cells.

According to Dr. C. Samuel West, ‘blood proteins and water must be removed from the spaces between the cells referred to as intercellular space by the lymphatic vessels to keep the cells in what is called the "Healthy Dry State."

In this situation the cells effectively burn complex carbohydrates to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy.  If this does not happen, the blood proteins and water around the cells will alter the "Dry State" to the “Diseased Wet State."

This produces lack of oxygen (hypoxia) and loss of energy at the cell level which is the cause of all disease that afflicts humanity.

If there is insufficient oxygen (hypoxia) at the cellular level, the metabolism will be incomplete and carbon dioxide and lactic acid will be produced. 

Since carbon dioxide displaces oxygen from the hemoglobin and prevents the red blood cells from getting the needed oxygen for cellular functions. Organs near the stagnation are awash in their own wastes, cannot take in nutrients neither can they eliminate wastes.

Studies show that excess blood proteins and water leave the blood stream under shock, stress, toxins malnutrition or injury.

Healing occur when we pull out all the dead cells, poisons, excess blood proteins and water from around the cells to keep them in what is called the "Dry State" so the cells can get oxygen. The diseased ‘wet state’  constitutes a shift from oxidation to fermentation. 

In this condition the rate of production of cancer cells outweigh the rate of destruction.

Organs. Oxygen oxidizes (Mop up) toxic build up. Its deficiency is the culprit in all cancers; it creates a state of cellular confusion or drowning. It occurs when the human body’s oxygen availability, demand and utilization drops lower than normal due to exposure to conditions that stems from  malnutrition, environmental pollution, physical inactivity, stress and westernization of ancestral life.

These conditions suffocate our cells because the supply of oxygen falls short of our demand; metabolism is faulty, immunity is lowered and the cells shift from using oxygen (aerobic process) for metabolism to predominately using sugar (anaerobic process).

The "Lone Cure" Mentality ... a Modern Medical Mirage

The "lone cure" mentality is a mirage that modern medicine has brainwashed us into hoping for. The human body is far too complex – and arthritis is much too stubborn to be cured by any single remedy.  Healing ANY degenerative disease requires a multi-disciplinary "holistic" approach.

As Dr. Sinatra always says:  To heal a disease, you've got to address it at every level it exists on: Molecular, biochemical, nutritional, physical, emotional, and psychological. There’s no such thing as a “magic bullet” cure.

This is why modern medicine has FAILED to achieve anything close to a cure for any chronic disease.

Reversing Heart Disease with Nutrition ... President Bill Clinton

As you probably know, former President Clinton was a major fast-food eater. He then developed chest pain and underwent a quadruple (4 vessel) bypass on September 7, 2004.

Just about six years later, on February 10, 2010 his condition continued to deteriorate, and subsequently, he had two stents put into his left circumflex artery to "open it up" after complaining of tightness in his chest.

Then last year, prior to his daughter Chelsea's wedding, President Clinton committed to eating a strict vegan diet (no animal products or oils) and lost 20 lbs!

By switching to a vegan diet not only did he start to reverse his disease progression, but he is doing it at virtually no cost to the taxpayer. By implementing these changes President Clinton says he's feeling good and has been able to keep the pounds off.

A piece of information that I find truly interesting is that President Clinton identified two physician researchers as a major influence on his lifestyle change:

Caldwell Esselstyn, MD, a former surgeon from the Cleveland Clinic; and Dr. Dean Ornish, from the University of California - San Francisco, who has pioneered research regarding heart disease reversal with vegan diet.

President Clinton's health journey can stimulate the entry of the new era in health care where we focus on "preventive care" with lifestyle choices instead "disease care" where the focus is on drugs and surgery.

Basically, President Clinton's battle with heart disease and his subsequent dietary change is showing us that the way to real health care reform is by using our diets to prevent and/or reverse killer chronic diseases.

President Clinton was a prime example that by eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) and tacking on a whole lot of stress will often lead to heart disease, the world's number one killer.

Even though President Clinton had the absolute best U.S. "disease care" could offer - the best U.S. doctors, health insurance coverage, medication, bypass surgery and stents ... his disease continued.

By switching to a vegan diet not only did he start to reverse his disease progression, but he is doing it at virtually no cost to the taxpayer.

That is, when compared to the hundreds of thousands of dollars his issues cost us when he was using the best of his U.S. "disease care" options.

If this dietary pattern (switching to plant-based nutrition) were adopted in the United States, heart disease would become a "toothless paper tiger" as Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn says, and so would obesity, type 2 diabetes and a myriad of other chronic diseases.

There would be no health care crisis ... and there would be no health care reform debate because the problem of chronic diseases would be eliminated.

Medicare would have enough money to care for our ever-growing elderly population because they would "stay well" until they passed.

President Clinton is showing America, and the world which is suffering from epidemics of chronic diseases, that there is a very simple, cost effective way out of the modern day epidemic of heart disease and chronic disease(s) by using a micronutrient-dense, plant-based diet.

... like President Clinton, the choice is yours.

Chemical Toxicity ... and Disease

Environmental toxins—and their impact on human systems—have been widely studied since 1962, when Rachel Carson’s groundbreaking Silent Springa meticulously chronicled the devastating effects of dichlordiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) upon the environment and the world food supply.

First serialized in The New Yorker, Silent Spring described how DDT entered the food chain and accumulated in the fatty tissues of animals, including human beings, and caused cancer and genetic damage. Not surprisingly, this book brought cries of indignation from the chemical industry, but DDT was subsequently banned in the United States.

However, it remains in use in China, in central and southern America, and in other countries.

Which are the most troubling toxins in the human environment?

Organophosphates are right at the top. In addition to being highly toxic to insects, these chemicals are highly toxic to humans.

R.M.: Are they found primarily in pesticides?

Yes, not just for gardens and farms, and household uses, but also for things like flea collars in pets. They are very dangerous. In fact, organophosphates are derivatives of the chemicals used at Auschwitz as nerve gas.

They also have the ability, in low doses, to fatten livestock by reducing their ability to use up existing fat stores and have been marketed for this purpose. Although the use of organophosphates has been banned as a growth-promoting substance, they can still be found in pesticides.

Chemical Toxicity ... Cancer and Disease

In a study led by Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, in collaboration with the Environmental Working Group and Commonwealth, researchers at two major laboratories found an average of 91 industrial compounds, pollutants, and other chemicals in the blood and urine of nine volunteers, with a total of 167 chemicals, pollutants, and pesticides found in the group.

Like most of us, none of the nine volunteers work with chemicals on the job, do not live near an industrial facility, and all lead healthy lives.  Yet, the subjects contained an average of 91 compounds – most of which did not exist 75 years ago.  Scientists refer to this contamination as a person’s body burden. Of the 167 chemicals found:

- 76 cause cancer in humans or animals,

- 94 are toxic to the brain and nervous system

- 79 cause birth defects or abnormal development.

The dangers of exposure to these chemicals in combination has never been studied. Study results appear in a recently-published edition of the journal Public Health Reports (Thornton, et al. 2002) – the first publicly available, comprehensive look at the chemical burden we carry in our bodies.

Chemical Toxicity ... and Diabetes

Diabetes is an insulin toxicity problem before it becomes a sugar problem. Insulin toxicity is an insulin excess problem before it becomes a toxicity problem. Insulin excess is a blocked-insulin-receptor problem before it is an insulin excess problem.

The trio of toxicities - toxic foods, toxic environments, and toxic thoughts - problem is caused when the toxicities disrupt oxygen homeostasis. 

Is Diabetes mellitus a sugar problem? No. The abnormalities of blood sugar seen in diabetes are the consequences of the derangements of cellular energetics and toxicity that collectively create what is commonly called diabetes. Is diabetes an insulin problem? No. 

The abnormalities of insulin functions are the consequences of plasticized (chemicalized) and hardened cell membranes that immobilize the insulin receptors embedded in them. Is diabetes a problem of blood vessels that causes blindness, kidney failure, stroke, heart attacks, and neuropathy? No.

The abnormalities of blood vessels are the consequences of oxidizing and deoxygenizing influences in diabetes.  - Majid Ali, M.D. - www.ethicsinmedicine.us

Chemical Toxicity ... Mother to Baby Umbilicords

In September 2005, Greenpeace International with the World Wildlife Fund published a document entitled “Present for Life: Hazardous Chemicals in Umbilical Cord Blood.”

The research was a real eye-opener as it showed convincingly that newborns tested positive for hundreds of different toxins. Specifically, the blood tests showed that these newborns had an average of 287 toxins in their bodies:

... 180 of these are known carcinogens [cancer causing substances]. All these had been passed on from the mother to the baby.

In particular Phthalates, one of them most omnipresent groups of chemicals and mainly used in PVC were found in most of the tested babies. This particular group of toxins can be particularly damaging to the male reproductive tract, and are toxic to reproduction.

Do you want to protect yourself? HMD does not only eliminate heavy metals, initial trials have shown that it also chelates [binds & eliminates] Phthalates and other chemicals.

Clinical Malnutrition ... World Health Organization (WHO)

“70-80% of all diseases in developed countries are due to clinical malnutrition.”

- W.H.O. - World Health Organization.

Clinical malnutrition is caused by ... "a lack of sufficient nutrition necessary for maintaining optimal metabolic health and cellular function ... the primary fundamental cause of the disease process.

Clinical malnutrition is NOT caused by ... "starvation or a lack of food intake".

An individual can be of "any size and shape" and be clinically malnourished ... if their food sources fail to supply sufficient nutrition to maintain optimal metabolic health and cellular function.

Therefore, the vast majority of underweight, overwieight, "normal size", "healthy size", obese and morbidly obese individuals in developed countries (United States) are clinically malnuorished.

For those individuals who show no signs of "clinical malnutrition and clinical disease" ...

If these individuals were to be tested for sub-clinical deficiencies and bio-markers ... many of these individuals will likely show signs of sub-clinical malnutrition and sub-clinical disease where the disease process has begun but is of a lesser stage of impairment as not to show any "obvious clinical symptoms of disease" as determined by modern allopathic medicine or allopathic testing methods.

... For example, various nutrient deficiencies may be present, cellular oxygen deficiencies, elevated antigen protein bio-markers and / or chemical and heavy metal toxicities.

Autism ... The Simple Notion of Cumulative Load

Biology does not acknowledge ideology:

The autism world is febrile in search of “the missing link”—mercury in vaccines, some fungal toxins, a virus, an environmental chemical, an immune reaction, some mutated gene - as is expected of people who do not understand the simple notion of cumulative load ... I predict none will be found.

Is the incidence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) rising? Yes. Why is that so?

Because the developing brains of unborn babies are being assaulted by an increasing number of noxious agents.

Will it continue to rise? I predict it will.

Accumulation of Toxins ... the Disease Process

All disease conditions begin with the accumulation of toxins (toxicosis) in the body, causing acid levels to increase (acidosis), and pH levels and oxygen levels to lower ... starving cells of oxygen (hypoxia).

Normal, optimal functioning healthy cells are "aerobic" cells which use oxygen as their primary energy source. However, when starved of oxygen (hypoxia), these once healthy "aerobic" cells are forced to adapt / mutate to a primary "anaerobic" energy course (glucose fermentation), in order to survive in their ever-increasing toxic micro-environment.

Hypoxic (glucose fermentation) cells will also continue to escalate toxicity levels, acidosis conditions, hypoxic conditions further, metabolic and immune system impairment, disease conditions, disease symptoms and the disease process.

When hypoxic (glucose fermentation) cells multiply out of control ... they are called cancer cells.

"Successful adaptation to the hypoxia-glycolysis-acidosis sequence in a micro-environment is crucial during carcinogenesis".

Wen-Ying Lee et al. - www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0090825807008670

"Cancer is a condition within the body where the oxidation has become so depleted that the body cells have degenerated beyond control. The body is so overloaded with toxins that it sets up a tumor mass to harbor these poisons and remove them from general activity within the body."

- Dr. Wendell Hendricks - Hendricks Research Foundation

"Other scientists have proven that cancer becomes more resistant to therapy as the tumor mass becomes more acidic and anaerobic."

"Tumors can hide from radiation therapy as hypoxic (low oxygen) lumps. Niacin (vitamin B3) seems to make radiation therapy more effective at killing these hypoxic cancer cells. Loading radiation patients with 500 mg to 6000 mg of niacin has been shown to be safe and one of the most effective agents known to eliminate acute hypoxia in solid malignancies."

''There is also intriguing evidence that high doses of niacin can act like enzymes, which means: => changing the coating of the tumor to make it more vulnerable to the immune system and medical intervention."

Beating Cancer with Nutrition is unique: The book was developed after working with over 500 cancer patients and organizing 3 international symposiums on the subject. The information contained in BCN is both scientifically backed with references and clinically proven in the hospital with patients.

Accumulation of Toxins ... and Cancer

According to Dr. Reckeweg, M.D., the father of homotoxicology: ‘as long as the body eliminates toxins, the body maintains health, even if health is at an extreme illness level’.

This emphases the significance of re-establishing the flow of interstitial fluid within the organ's intercellular structure to sustain  health. This proves that the endothelial gap's malfunction is the culprit the development of 'disease' states like cancer and when mechanical dysfunction is rectified, treatment is one step closer in advancing towards success in cancer management’.

He points out that: when the lymph system malfunctions, excess toxins and large molecular weight proteins accumulate within the intercellular spaces causing inflammation. When the fluid pressure in the intercellular space is high (too much fluid), the endothelial gaps are impaired in function.

Our metabolic waste products  includes diacetic, lactic, pyruvic, uric, carbonic, acetic, butyric, and hepatic acids. The implication of this is that the staging, type or location of cancer is irrelevant to its cause and cure.  If these wastes are not removed by the lymphatics, they cause organ degeneration at the weakest or the most venerable body part and death. 

Intercellular fluid accumulates on the outside of the endothelial gap and inflammation and degeneration occurs. In diseased condition, the intercellular space between the cells is "wet" and flooded with proteinous cellular wastes like a blockage and backup in the home plumbing system.

This process is similar to what happens in a swimming pool during a heavy rainstorm. When too much water is trying to get through the flap covering the drain on the side of the pool, the flap closes and water cannot drain from the pool. The water level rises, reaches the brim, and spills out carrying debris into the surrounding area. When the endothelial gap is processing, fluid in the intercellular space maintains the cells 'dry state' level, and intercellular space is free of toxins and disease.

Studies indicate that over 96% of the body’s daily nutritional needs is for oxygen everything we do is all about making oxygen available to our cells for metabolism and ultimately to produce energy.

While we can live for about 40 days without food, 4 days without water, we will not be alive if we are deprived of oxygen for about 5 minutes. One of the major by product of metabolism of food substances is carbon dioxide which has to eliminate rapidly from the body through the lungs and other eliminative channels.

Problem arises if we can’t convert food to energy and if we cannot get rid of metabolic wastes.  The accumulation of metabolic wastes involves the production of carbon dioxide. While the lung alone is incapable of ridding the body of carbon dioxide produced during exhalation, nature devised other means to eliminate it. These include the combination of carbon dioxide with ammonia to form urea which is eliminated through the kidney. 

Also carbon dioxide combines with water with the aid of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase and zinc as a co-enzyme to form end products like hydrogen and bicarbonate atom. The hydrogen atoms are ‘Acids’ while the bicarbonates (base) are “Alkaline”.

The inability of the body to eliminate the acids often leads to an overall acidic constitution. The body’s effort to maintain homeostasis includes putting equal amount of bicarcarbonate substances into the blood to counter tissues acidity. As the body gets more acidic, crucial minerals like s potassium and magnesium are displaced from the cells while sodium is left behind.

The body compensates for this acidic situation by leaching calcium from the bone to the blood to maintain alkalinity which is picked up in laboratory blood test as normal.

The presence of high acid concentration tissues triggers the body’s homeostatic mechanism to balance excess acids in the tissues with bicarbonate or alkaline substances by stimulating the body’s compensatory mechanism to maintain normal PH by making the blood alkaline.

When the blood become very alkaline, it retains more oxygen that it cannot release to the cells and tissues. This causes oxygen deficiency to the tissues while we have excess oxygen in the blood. This sets the stage for anaerobic respiration, fermentation, cancer, microbial proliferation and organ degerattion. - Dr. Reckeweg, M.D., the father of homotoxicology

U.S. Government Mandates ... Escalating Disease?

In stark contrast to the "Pellagra - niacinamide" incidence (above):

"In the 1960's ... the U.S. Government mandated that iodine containing dough was equivalent to the RDA of 150 ug per slice of bread. At that time the incidence of breast cancer was only 1 in 20.

Unfortunately, in the past 20 years ... the use of iodine supplementation in bread was eliminated.

Instead, the chemical bromine was added to dough. Bromine's primary industrial use is as a fire retardent, consuming more than half of world production of the element. Bromine is a goiter producing substance toxic to the thyroid gland and has no essential function in mammals.

The risk for breast cancer is now 1 in 8 ... and this risk is increasing by one percent each year." 

- Dr. James Howenstine, MD

_______________________________

The once championed chemical - Flouride - pumped regularly into U.S. municpal water supplies, as a savior for American Dental Health ... has since proven to be of no benefits to dental health, a known toxin, carcinogen and neurotoxin, which also helps to block iodine absorbtion ... which then effects the thyroid functions.

Unfortunately for U.S. disease statistics, Fluoride is also conveniently found in many common foods, beverages, drugs, vitamins and agricultural pesticides.

For example: It is commonly found in toothpastes and mouthwash ("for oral health"), it is found in pesticides such as Cryolite which is used in growing fruits and vegetables (if they are not organic). It is also found in antibiotics like Cipro and antidepressants like Prozac and Paxil.

_______________________________

"There is growing evidence that Americans would have better health and a lower incidence of cancer and fibrocystic disease of the breast if they consumed more iodine.

A decrease in iodine intake coupled with an increased consumption of competing halogens, fluoride and bromide, has created an epidemic of iodine deficiency in America."

"Iodine also induces apoptosis, (programmed cell death in cancer and disease cells)."

- Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD - http://www.lewrockwell.com/miller/miller20.html
