"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease." FDA has countenanced all sorts of unethical behavior on the part of the self-proclaimed ethical pharmaceutical manufacturers. Even when lives have been lost, FDA has almost never brought criminal charges. - Moss, page 416. 150 FDA employees were owners of stock in twenty-seven FDA-regulated companies. - Moss, page 416. If "quackery" is something that costs a lot of money and does not do any good, then much of modern medicine qualifies. Herbs will likely be our most powerful 21st century medicines. - Dr. David Williams. If cancer specialists were to admit that chemotherapy is of limited usefulness and is often dangerous, the public might demand a radical change in direction - possibly toward unorthodox and nontoxic methods, and toward cancer prevention. - Moss page 84. A number of drug company officials serve on the National Cancer Institutes (NCI) advisory committee. - Moss page 83 The NCI has simply abrogated its responsibility to vigorously investigate all new leads in the fight against cancer - Moss page XXXIV For most of today's common solid cancers, the ones that cause 90 percent of the cancer deaths every year - breast, most lung, colon and rectal, skin cancer, liver and pancreatic and bladder - chemotherapy has never been proved to do any good at all. - Questioning Chemotherapy
The DNA is damaged in 85% of human sperm. Red blood cells and platelets do not have a nucleus. ...for most forms of cancer, many patients initially respond. But in only three forms of cancer - ovarian, small-cell lung cancer, and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia - did any appreciable percentage survive without disease, and even then this percentage represented, at best, less than a sixth of the total group of patients. - Questioning Chemotherapy They found that patients with leukemia had a 70 percent reduction in H2O2 production by their white blood cells. Maybe cancer is a peroxide deficiency. - Dr. Douglass, page 64. Besides hepatitis, the risk of contracting human T-cell leukemia (HTLV-1) from blood transfusions is ten times higher than the risk of contracting HIV. This risk skyrockets when you consider that many blood recipients, including premature babies, are given the blood components from what can be, on average, as many as nine donors. - McTaggart page 272 Vaccines contain mercury and formaldehyde. Mercury is a metabolic poison, damaging brain, kidneys, and bone marrow. Formaldehyde, is a known carcinogen. Hulda Clark's zapper may kill leukemia cells. Green tea is useful for leukemia and other forms of cancer.
If I contracted cancer, I would never go to a standard cancer treatment center. Cancer victims who live far from such centers have a chance. - Professor Charles Mathe, Medicines Nouvelles (Paris) 1989. After analyzing cancer survival statistics for several decades, Dr. Hardin Jones, Professor at the University of California, concluded in 1975 that "...patients are as well, or better off untreated." Three studies by other researchers have upheld his conclusion. - The Ecologist, Vol 28, No. 2, March/April 1998, p. 120. | 10. I am writing to you from India. I am facing a problem with Breast Cancer for the last 6 months. I have completed treatments in TATA Hospital, Mumbai, in India such as Chemotherapy. But I am still facing the Problem. The Doctor suggested another treatment, the Capsule (name deleted). This capsule is not available in India. It is available only in the USA and this is very costly. The doctor suggested 120 capsules to recover from Breast Cancer. My family is very poor and are not in a position to do this treatment because of the funds. So can you help me or suggest to me where I can get this free medicine or funds? We are not in a position to give money or medicine. However, if you have access to our web site www.alkalizeforhealth.org you will find there a complete 8 step anti-cancer program you can do at home that costs very little. There may also be a Transcendental Meditation Center near your home. You can ask them to recommend an Ayurvedic Vaidya who follows Maharishi Ayurveda. Maharishi Ayurveda is the modern revival of Ayurveda under the Maharishi Council of Ayurvedic Physicians that includes some of the most illustrious Ayurvedic physicians in modern India. Generally the Ayurvedic herbal remedies are much less expensive, have side benefits instead of toxic side effects, and have passed the test of time - having been used for thousands of years on untold numbers of patients. Ayurveda is the traditional system of medicine for India and is endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO). You might also have a look at the website of the AM Charitable Trust (www.cancerhope.org) which is based in India. While we would never recommend that you not follow your doctor's advice, we certainly do recommend that you do everything that you can possibly do to help yourself. If the simple things you can do for yourself are all that you can afford, there are many doctors who would say that you are better off for not being able to afford to take the expensive medicine. The reason for this is that expensive medicines often have dangerous side effects and may even cause more cancer. Ask your doctor to give you a copy of the Physician's Desk Reference information regarding the drug he recommended to you, and read it carefully. The Physician's Desk Reference is also usually available in public libraries. Please do not feel that just because you are poor, you cannot afford medicine for the treatment of cancer. Even in the wealthier countries, cancer treatments are so expensive that few people can afford them. The entire cancer industry seems designed to cost as much as possible. Most of the world cannot afford modern drugs. Many of the modern drugs are toxic and have been approved by government agencies only because the government employees are corrupt. Some drugs are chemicals derived from traditional natural herbal remedies and are effective. So why not take the traditional natural herbal remedies instead of the drug? The traditional herbal medicines of the world are affordable, and the best use of modern science would be to prove which herbal medicines are most effective and encourage their use. This would create a modern system of medicine that everyone can afford. Please tell your doctor and the TATA family to read the web site www.alkalizeforhealth.net. They could change the treatment for cancer in the hospital to something that is both more affordable and more effective. Back to List of Questions 11. I have had Uterus Cancer 1 year ago. What do I look for in recurring Cancer? You can have cancer for many years without any obvious symptoms. By the time unmistakable symptoms present themselves, the cancer is well along in its development and probably metastasized. This is one reason why "self examination" for cancer is not very helpful. By the time you notice the lump, sore, discharge or other problem, the cancer is well developed. So you are faced with a choice: sit back now and wait for the cancer to reappear, or be proactive and start now to take what measures you can to prevent a recurrence. The www.alkalizeforhealth.net web site is designed for people in your situation. Why involve yourself with alternative or conventional treatments for cancer if it is not clear that you even have cancer? On the other hand, if there are elements of a healthy diet and lifestyle that can prevent and remove cancer, then why not incorporate these into your daily life? If you can create a healthy alkaline situation in your body where cancer cannot exist, and keep your body free of toxic chemicals, then you help ensure that cancer will not recur. The www.alkalizeforhealth.org web site suggests many components of a healthy anti-cancer diet and lifestyle so you can choose aspects that appeal to you and thereby take charge of your destiny. If there are no harmful side effects and many positive side benefits from a health promoting anti-cancer diet and lifestyle, why not do it? One common theme in studies of cancer treatments and outcomes is that the earlier treatment begins, the better the outcome. The earliest possible start will be to find ways to incorporate cancer treatments into your healthy lifestyle. This is what we have accomplished with our 8 step program to prevent and remove cancer. However, if you really want to look for recurring cancer, then there is a test you might consider. The AMAS test for cancer is well documented, approved by the FDA, and is used to both screen for cancer and to check for recurrences. We suggest you read www.AMAScancertest.com and do an Internet search for additional information. 12. I want to know if you have any more information on the oxygen principle. I thought oxygen oxidizes the bad things in your system, but what prevents it from oxidizing healthy cells and causing damage? I am interested in using oxygen in light exercise once per month as suggested but have this concern. Oxidation refers to the grabbing of an electron from one molecule by another. Oxygenation refers to increasing the number of oxygen molecules. Oxygen causes oxidation. It is a question of balance. We need oxygen to live and our tissues are not getting enough of it for various reasons. The result is cancer. However, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Antioxidants help to ensure that oxygen is used properly and with maximum efficiency in the body. Laboratory experiments suggest that increased consumption of antioxidants promotes a higher level of oxygen consumption, plus increased activity and longevity. This suggests that consumption of antioxidants provides a way to both live longer and get more out of life. Therefore, to get maximum value from the oxygen you breathe, it is a good idea to complement your increased oxygen intake with increased consumption of antioxidants such as MAK. There is also confusion surrounding the high energy forms of oxygen, such as hydrogen peroxide and ozone. Small quantities of hydrogen peroxide and ozone are healthy. If you read our oxygen page you will realize that hydrogen peroxide and ozone are competitors to antibiotics and other drugs. Hydrogen peroxide and ozone destroy viruses and bacteria by oxidation. In fact, hydrogen peroxide and ozone are BETTER than drugs because:
Dangerous and unhealthy chemicals in smog include carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. Ozone is a harmless component of smog, yet the population is regularly informed about "high concentrations of ground-level ozone" as a measure of smog. This association of ozone with smog is part of the drug cartel disinformation campaign to discredit ozone. Ozone generators are now used to purify the air in convention centers to prevent the spread of airborne diseases (such as Legionnaires disease and tuberculosis). The airline industry should do this also. Recirculation of air in pressurized aircraft can spread airborne infections through the entire passenger cabin. Home air cleaners containing a negative ion generator create a small quantity of ozone. Ultraviolet light can also destroy airborne bacteria and viruses. In our opinion, MAK is the best antioxidant available. More information about MAK is available here. Back to List of Questions Leukemia (cancer of the white blood cells) is the leading cause of fatal cancer in children. Leukemia is not known to be hereditary. Very few cancers have been proven to be hereditary. However, the relationship between parental exposure to carcinogens and resulting childhood cancer in progeny is important and needs to be better investigated. For example, parents who eat hotdogs are more likely to have children with leukemia (Epstein page 576). Also, radiation can damage sperm and ova resulting in damage to future generations. Blood cells are manufactured by bone marrow. Blood cancer has its basis in defective bone marrow, caused by mutated DNA. The main causes of mutated DNA and leukemia are chemicals and radiation. The chemicals come mainly from air and water pollution, and contaminants in diet. The radiation responsible for leukemia is primarily from medical uses of radiation by doctors. The use of x-rays by doctors, dentists, chiropractors and others has grown so extensively that the medical uses of radiation now account for 90% of all uses of ionizing radiation. Even seemingly minute doses of radiation can cause cancer and leukemia (Moss page 69). Dr. Epstein strongly recommends against having an x-ray if you are pregnant, saying "The future risks of leukaemia to your unborn child, not to mention birth defects, are just not worth it" (page 304). "We now know that if children are exposed to x rays in utero their risk of all cancers is increased by 40 percent, of leukemia by 70 percent, and of tumors of the nervous system by 50 percent" (McTaggart page 23). X rays harm people three ways (McTaggart page 23):
5% - 10% of cancer patients treated with chemotherapy will get leukemia (Moss page 82). Chemotherapy destroys rapidly dividing cells, including the rapidly dividing cells of the bone marrow. White blood cells produced by bone marrow are the foundation of the immune system, and the destruction of the ability of the bone marrow to produce white blood cells can lead to massive uncontrollable infections in cancer patients (Moss page 73). The embryo, fetus, infant and young child are particularly vulnerable (Epstein page 640) to the damage done by carcinogens:
Exposures to the pesticides aldrin, dieldrin, chlordane and heptachlor have been associated with leukemia. Six million Americans (mostly children) are treated for lice each year with a shampoo called Kwell that contains the pesticide Lindane that is associated with leukemia (Epstein page 573). There are clusters of leukemia around nuclear installations (Epstein page 388). Military servicemen exposed to radiation also have a high level of leukemia (Epstein, page 389). Consumption of nitrite dyed or preserved meat such as hot dogs is associated with several childhood cancers including leukemia (Epstein page 478). Exposure to dark colored hair dyes is associated with leukemia and other cancers (Epstein page 478). Irradiation produces complex changes in food that result in chromosomal damage in children (Epstein page 643). Benzene (a solvent used in gasoline) is associated with leukemia. DES (a synthetic female estrogen) is associated with leukemia. Following the ban on DES, the meat industry started using other additives such as natural sex hormones that are legal, but still carcinogenic. Virtually all meat produced in the United States contains these added hormones. Dairy products contain many pesticides, drug residues and hormones including BHC, chlordane, DDT, dieldrin, heptachlor, HCB, and Lindane (Epstein pages 635-639).
So if you are concerned about leukemia, what are you going to do? Firstly, everyone who wants to have children should take steps prior to conception to ensure that their body is as pure as possible. You want to pass a blessing on to future generations. PREVENTION of cancer is always your best option. Secondly, there is evidence that vitamin D helps prevent cancer. A good source of vitamin D is fish oil. Fish oil also contains vitamin A, and there is evidence that vitamin A helps cure leukemia. The herb feverfew, green tea, and enzymes may also help. Using the search box at the bottom of this page, search the Alkalize For Health website for references to "leukemia". Thirdly, you and your family can follow our 8 step program to prevent and remove cancer. It is evident from the above discussion that our program is as applicable to leukemia as it is to solid tumors. You need to purify the body of toxic chemicals, neutralize free radicals, dissolve cancerous tissue, rebuild the tissues, and create a highly oxygenated alkaline internal environment where cancer cannot exist. Fourthly, find a physician that you trust and can work with. To find such a physician you might begin with our Useful Links page.
14. Could you tell me the symptoms, methods of treatment, causes, prevention, and methods of detection of breast cancer? You have managed to ask a great many interesting questions all in one sentence! We could devote an entire web site to your answer, and indeed we have. It is www.AlkalizeForHealth.org. You could change the words "breast cancer" in your question to a hundred or more other different kinds of cancer and you would either end up with a hundred web sites, or you would come to recognize that all forms of cancer have their basis in acidity and toxicity. Dr. Otto Warburg, two time Nobel prize winner, said "The great advantage of knowing the prime cause of a disease is that it can then be attacked logically and over a broad front. This is particularly important in the case of cancer, with its numerous secondary and remote causes, and because it is often stated that in man alone there are over one hundred well-known and quite different kinds of cancer, usually with the implication that therefore we will have to find one or several hundred bases for prevention and treatment, and usually without any realization that this need not necessarily be the case now that we know that all cancers studied have a characteristic metabolism in common, a prime cause." Therefore, we have structured the Alkalize For Health web site to answer your question to the best of our ability for ALL forms of cancer. On this web site, whenever you read something about "prostate cancer" or "breast cancer" any other kind of cancer, please read between the lines and understand that it probably applies to ALL forms of cancer. The medical profession classifies cancer according to the type of tissue in the body that has become cancerous. So there are as many types of cancer as there are body tissues. This has made the whole subject unnecessarily complex. You have raised an interesting and important point, because people with (perhaps rare) cancers often find little information specific to their kind of cancer and do not realize that much of the information on "cancer" is true for all forms of cancer, including theirs. With all that said, if you still want a detailed report on a specific type of cancer, you might have a look the Moss Reports here. 15. Would you have any suggestions regarding the treatment of Endometriosis? We have been told this is an incurable condition. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you. Endometriosis is associated with increased risk for several different cancers. If you re-read this web site and in your mind change the word "cancer" to "endometriosis" you will not go too far wrong. In our opinion the 8 step self-treatment program we are promoting applies to everyone and every disease. This is because the focus is on promoting health and giving the body what it requires to restore and maintain health. The 8 step program is not intended to be a cure-all or to replace the care you receive from a physician (allopathic or alternative) that you trust, but it represents the core of a self-help program that you can apply to your individual situation as is comfortable for you. Our message is there are things a person can do to help himself or herself, and we all need to get more involved in maintaining our own health. If we were to make any additional suggestions they would be: 1. Have faith that your body knows how to be healthy, even if the doctors don't. 2. Your job is to remove the hindrances and give the body what it needs in order to restore health. 3. If you have not already done so, consult with a naturopath, homeopath, Ayurvedic physician, alternative minded allopathic physician or all of them. Each will have a point of view that the others may not have considered. At www.mapi.com you will find a service called "Ask the Ayurveda Expert". By sending an email with your question you may receive a reply from an Ayurvedic Vaidya. There are very few Ayurvedic physicians outside of India, though their numbers are growing as Ayurveda becomes more popular. To find a naturopath, homeopath or alternative minded allopathic physician near where you live, consult the various web sites on our "Useful Links" page. There is a book called Prescription For Nutritional Healing by James and Phyllis Balch that we consult regularly. You may find a copy in your local health food store. There are several pages on nearly every affliction, including endometriosis. You may also wish to read the information on endometriosis at www.mercola.com, www.drweil.com, and www.alternativemedicine.com. If you do a search of the Internet you may find additional useful information. You might seek out a physician qualified to give you Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI) therapy, as many different conditions seem to respond well to this treatment. There are many things you can do to strengthen your immune system. Endometriosis is one of those diseases that are not fully understood by the medical profession. However, it is not always necessary to fully understand the cause of a disease in order to get rid of it. What you need to do is put your attention on becoming healthy and let the body sort out what needs to be done to remove any unhealthy situation. Your job is to attain that level of health and vitality so that the disease simply cannot exist in your body. This approach to diseases of unexplained origin may become increasingly useful over the next few decades as new diseases come along due to:
If you read How the World Has Changed you will realize that our bodies are being assaulted by a combination of factors never seen before in the history of humankind and it is wise for us to respond to this assault in systematic manner in order to protect our health. Possible "causes" of endometriosis include pesticides such as dioxin that mimic estrogen, fungal & yeast infection, parasites, dietary deficiencies... These lead to circulatory problems that in turn lead to cyst formation, scarring, bleeding and related problems. If the disease is "incurable" by doctors, this just means that there is nothing they can do to cure it. They cannot exercise your body, you must do that. They cannot nourish your body, you must do that. They cannot meditate for you. The situation may be beyond their ability to correct, but it is not necessarily beyond yours. The AlkalizeForHealth web site has a whole page devoted to things you can do to strengthen your immune system. There are pages for alkalinity and oxygen. Your body may have a lot of wastes and other substances that need to be flushed out and the web site contains suggestions regarding how to accomplish this. Scar tissue, tissue build-up, and various adhesions can be dissolved by enzymes. Enzyme therapy has been used with good results in treating endometriosis. Populations of unhealthy intestinal bacteria and yeasts can be controlled by the Specific Carbohydrate Diet that denies them the undigested carbohydrates that they eat. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is explained in the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle by Elaine Gottschall. Problems with endometriosis are associated with improper toilet design. The two thirds of humanity who use squat toilets have vastly fewer problems with endometriosis. Tackle the situation from every angle and every point of view. That way nothing is done to excess and everything you do to strengthen yourself complements everything else you do. Read this web site with your family and try to develop a program that you can all participate in. Our 8 step program is designed to help healthy people retain their health just as much as it helps people regain their health, and it is for people of all ages. Saunas, rebounders, juicers, sprouts and all the rest can become part of a diet and lifestyle that you all do together. Back to List of Questions 16. Is there anything that can reverse early tooth decay - I have the beginnings of a cavity which is not drillable as yet? Most people do not realize it, but teeth are filled with tiny tubes and have their own circulatory system. Teeth are alive and can grow, repair themselves, get sick (cavities) and die. Care of teeth has much to do with ensuring they get proper nourishment from within. Tooth decay is NOT caused just by improper brushing, flossing or using the wrong toothpaste. Tooth decay is a disease of civilization, found when foods have become refined, processed, devitalized and demineralized. Broadly speaking, a war against tooth decay should start with remineralization of farm soils depleted of trace minerals. Foods grown on mineral-rich soils should be eaten fresh with minimal handling and processing. According to Dr. Airola, a program to defeat tooth decay should begin with the mother's diet during pregnancy or even prior to conception. Following birth the infant should be breast fed for at least a year. Upon weaning, the child should be fed a mineral-rich alkaline diet, avoiding all refined foods. "vitamin D must be present from conception in order for proper tooth formation to occur. If vitamin D is absent during the early gestational period, the enamel cannot form properly, and it cannot be repaired by giving vitamin D later." - http://www.westonaprice.org/basicnutrition/codliveroil.html Clean arteries provide adequate blood supply and nourishment to ALL areas of the body. Rebound exercise promotes lymph circulation through ALL the tissues. Abundant enzymes facilitate ALL metabolic activities. Adequate vitamin D and sunshine assist calcium absorption. Coenzyme Q10 is reported to be of value for heart disease, gum disease and cancer. Test the pH of your saliva. If it is below 7.4, take steps to increase the alkalinity of your body. A pH below 7 may dissolve both teeth and bones. The best way we know to clean your teeth is discussed on our cosmetics page. Teeth are a window to what is happening to your bones. There are about 18 important bone building nutrients including: calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, many trace minerals, several vitamins, plus essential fatty acids and protein. Eating bone meal is one way to get many of these nutrients and there are a number of research studies showing that consumption of bone meal helps create and maintain healthy teeth (for a list of some of the studies see How to Get Well by Dr Paavo Airola, page 69). Taking a betaine hydrochloride tablet with each meal will assist mineral assimilation. If you are vegetarian, then you will need to find other dietary sources of these nutrients, but the research on bone meal demonstrates that diet can have a positive impact on dental health.
All measures you take to promote dental health by improving your diet and increasing the alkalinity of your body should provide many side benefits including helping to prevent cancer, osteoporosis, blocked arteries and other degenerative diseases. It is like pulling one leg of a table - all the other legs come along too. Continue to Frequently Asked Questions Page 4 of 4
