"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours... it is an amazing journey... and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins." Bob Moawad

A Chinese proverb says, "Better to light a candle than lament the darkness." Darkness still prevails in the world of cancer and other diseases. I attempt to keep the candle alight with EDUCATION. - Peter Havasi

Foreword ("The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible" Epilogue by Ken Schoolland)

"My philosophy is based on the principle of self- ownership. You own your life. To deny this is to imply that another person has a higher claim on your life than you do. No other person, or group of persons, owns your life nor do you own the lives of others. You exist in time: future, present, and past. This is manifest in life, liberty, and the product of your life and liberty. The exercise of choices over life and liberty is your prosperity. To lose your life is to lose your future. To lose your liberty is to lose your present. And to lose the product of your life and liberty is to lose the portion of your past that produced it. A product of your life and liberty is your property. Property is the fruit of your labour, the product of your time, energy, and talents. It is that part of nature that you turn to valuable use. And it is the property of others that is given to you by voluntary exchange and mutual consent. Two people who exchange property voluntarily are both better off or they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. Only they may rightfully make that decision for themselves. At times some people use force or fraud to take from others without willful, voluntary consent. Normally, the initiation of force to take life is murder, to take liberty is slavery, and to take property is theft. It is the same whether these actions are done by one person acting alone, by the many acting against a few, or even by officials with fine hats and fancy titles. You have the right to protect your own life, liberty, and justly acquired property from the forceful aggression of others. So you may rightfully ask others to help protect you. But you do not have a right to initiate force against the life, liberty, or property of others.

Thus, you have no right to designate some person to initiate force against others on your behalf. You have a right to seek leaders for yourself, but would have no right to impose rulers on others. No matter how officials are selected, they are only human beings and they have no rights or claims that are higher than those of any other human beings. Regardless of the imaginative labels for their behaviour or the numbers of people encouraging them, officials have no right to murder, to enslave, or to steal. You cannot give them any rights that you do not have yourself. Since you own your life, you are responsible for your life. You do not rent your life from others who demand your obedience. Nor are you a slave to others who demand your sacrifice. You choose your own goals based on your own values. Success and failure are both the necessary incentives to learn and to grow. Your action on behalf of others, or their action on behalf of you, is only virtuous when it is derived from voluntary, mutual consent. For virtue can only exist when there is free choice. This is the basis of a truly free society. It is not only the most practical and humanitarian foundation for human action; it is also the most ethical. Problems that arise from the initiation of force by government have a solution. The solution is for people of the world to stop asking officials to initiate force on their behalf. Evil does not arise only from evil people, but also from good people who tolerate the initiation of force as a means to their own ends. In this manner, good people have empowered evil throughout history. Having confidence in a free society is to focus on the process of discovery in the marketplace of values rather than to focus on some imposed vision or goal. Using governmental force to impose a vision on others is intellectual sloth and typically results in unintended, perverse consequences. Achieving a free society requires courage to think, to talk, and to act â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially when it is easier to do nothing."

Preface Having witnessed how cancer systematically wiped out my own family members and friends, I became aware of the severity of the situation the modern society faces today. I disagree with the vision of ending this life somewhere in a cold hospital death bed, suffering from agonizing pain which lasts a small eternity. Dying without dignity is not the right way to end this beautiful life… I have no idea how others cope with this dreadful vision, but I decided to hit the "emergency button". I seriously started to think about what we can do to heal cancer and prevent it from spreading in modern day society. I have devoted my professional life together with my personal commitment to the exploration of the world’s natural healing systems because nature has no side-effects. The fruits of my CANCER HEALING CRUSADE are this masterwork. It is the most complex HISTORICAL REVIEW OF CANCER HEALING, based on the knowledge of the world’s ancient healing arts and successful pioneers that have stood the test of time. For the first time in the human history, you will see them all standing at one place, "running the show", and healing once again because this book collection carries a real life-saving potential. It is also a safe alternative for you unless you are interested in cultivating and maintaining chronic diseases with chemical drugs and barbaric surgical operations as well as the physical, emotional, and financial breakdown that is caused by the current system of disease management. Some call it building up powerful health, but I call it LIFE BUILDING. YOU’VE JUST FOUND YOUR MAN ON THE WAY TO YOUR HEALTH!

Introduction "The Education of Cancer Healing" is the MOST comprehensive and COMPLETE study collection on the history of cancer healing on the market today. Totaling more than 2500 pages filled with invaluable information, this magnum opus holds answers to your questions regarding cancer and many other diseases. These books give you information which is in fact a HEALING DYNAMITE, covered by thousands of scientific and medical studies, independent professionals, and dozens of patient and witness testimonials. With this masterwork, I am giving you the BEST of my own research – the product of $300,000 and the result of more than 20,000 hours of exhaustive and careful research in the field of cancer. Where is cancer? It’s all around us! In fact, cancer cells develop spontaneously on a daily basis and they develop in YOUR body, too. Some findings even claim that a healthy individual develops about 350 cancerous cells a day. The number goes up to 100,000 cancerous cells and higher. Some do get cancer, some do not... How come that someone gets seriously ill but someone else doesn’t? How is that!? What makes the body develop these cancer cells further? My mission is to give you THE SUPER KNOWLEDGE – the foundation for super powers that are within you, so that you can heal yourself of cancer (and any other disease), and live your life to the fullest potential! I will be your guide on your way to POWERFUL HEALTH. This life is a blessing, so squeeze the best out of it! At the end of this study, I want YOU to be strong and confident enough to stare death right in the face… and spit in it. I truly wish you to grab hold of another 20, 30 or 40 years and live a wonderful life – as anyone really deserves!

Somebody told me once, "Peter, your topic makes me uncomfortable." Yes, I have to admit that this book is really going to be a tough reading… but hey! Only the tough ones survive, right?! HALLELUJAH! It’s my job to make you feel a bit uncomfortable! The concept of natural healing arts is identical with the concept of ancient martial arts: it is all about living OUTSIDE THE COMFORT ZONE because that’s the place where magic happens. Yes, we need to get uncomfortable to understand our dangers and realize the seriousness of the situation. In this volume I will show you how cancer was healed using natural techniques throughout human history. On these pages you will be revealed the lives of many forgotten mavericks that successfully healed people from cancer. With this volume, I bring you a step closer in answering: "How can be Cancer healed and prevented safely!?" You will be revealed things you have never seen, nor heard of before. This book opens up the world which has been hidden from you by the world’s industries for decades. You may not know anything about this hidden world, but the fact remains that cancer cells are here and our life-style feeds them. Not only that you yourself develop life-threatening and dehumanizing diseases, but also increase the risk of cancer for your own children as well as other future generations. You can run away from this fact, but you cannot really hide! Have you ever admitted the existence of this problem? What steps have you taken to win your health back...?

The good news is that cancer CAN be PREVENTED effectively. It CAN also be HEALED – with the right KNOWLEDGE and DISCIPLINE. To admit that you have a problem is the first step to solving it. Cancer is projected for EVERY second male and every third female by 2030. In other words: you cannot stop your body from developing cancerous cells, but you CAN DO a lot to expunge them out safely and efficiently by cultivating a STRONG DEFENSE SYSTEM and CREATING a POWERFUL BODY. If you care about your liberty and preserving it, you need to care about your health. If you want to be healthy, study "The Education of Cancer Healing" study collection today. READ IT, LOVE IT, LIVE IT! Realize the severity of the situation, and act. TODAY. Take the responsibility for your health NOW, before you allow your health and freedom to be taken away by the world’s leading health industries.

Welcome to The Education of Cancer Healing, Volume 4: CRUSADERS.

"Always do what you are afraid to do." Ralph Waldo Emerson 16

Havasi Life Building – Building a Powerful Body Healing cancer is about EDUCATION. It is about learning how to live in harmony with the laws of nature. Over the centuries, these laws have been explored and now are contained in many ARTS OF HEALING AND FIGHTING. The beauty of this combination lies in its connection: one art cannot live without the other. If you want to heal yourself of any disease, if you want to design a high quality life and have a successful family, it is absolutely important to study and practice the ways how to heal diseases as well as how to cultivate an unbeatable body, mind and spirit. This is the combination that makes healing miracles happen. At the end of the day, you will realize that true natural healing and life building is all about education, harmony, and a warrior’s spirit, together with a day-to-day kicking of your own butt. This I call Havasi Life Building, a new self-oriented medical discipline which searches for PERFECTION in physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of YOUR health. The Shock Therapy – The Warrior’s Attitude: What I am going to show you in this book is not a bed of roses. What you are going to see is the history of cancer epidemics – a survival study that is hard to swallow! Cancer is not a fairy tale. Never was and never will be. Yes, this book kicks some serious ass and may even wipe the floor up with you. It will make you paralyzed, it may bring nightmares and it will make you wonder what planet you live on. The book you are holding in your hands is evil – but so is the world around you! I was just trying to reflect as much of the real world behind cancer as possible – even though there is probably much more to this topic than meets the eye.

Today, you may find this book evil and unconventional. Following the future volumes of "The Education of Cancer Healing", you will, however, realize that this book is an ESSENTIAL EVIL. It is the shock therapy which wakes a dead man up, opens his eyes, mobilizes his actions, and makes things happen. One day you will realize that this study collection has the potential of SAVING LIVES! Before you dive into the world of saving lives and natural healing, it is important to learn how people are killed today. Know your enemy, whoever or whatever it may be! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON I TEACH! BE STRONG! After years of studies I realized that everything is all about "LEAVING THE COMFORT ZONE"! If you want to start changing things, you must find the strength to step outside of it because EVERY HEALING MIRACLE HAPPENS OUTSIDE THE COMFORT ZONE. I confess: my aim is to make you FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE! In order to wake you up, your world must be shaken vigorously. Pain – physical, emotional, or spiritual – can be a valuable asset for escalation of your actions. Throughout the millennia, your body, mind, and spirit have originally evolved in different ways of pleasure from the ones promoted by the today’s standard society. This master study will wake up the warrior inside you. BE STRONG! If this book makes you feel fear – use it! If you feel anger – use it! I want you to JUMPSTART your ACTIONS, and start CHANGING things today! I challenge you! Realize the seriousness of the situation today – before it’s too late! Start living, thinking, and acting as a warrior does on the battlefield.

Taking the Responsibility and Predicting Dangers One of the outcomes of studying the world of cancer healing is the cultivation of RESPONSIBILITY and PREDICTION/PREVENTION OF DANGERS. If you want to avoid dangers, predicting them is super important! Learning the history of events which happened gives you a sense of things which are very likely to take place in the future. Cultivating a strong sense of danger prediction and prevention is the vital aspect of Havasi Life Building. We can see that that people stopped sensing and taking the full responsibility for their lives and actions. If people are not able to take responsibility for their physical, emotional, and spiritual health, HOW CAN THEY TAKE CARE OF THE OTHERS? While the standard society seeks pleasure, a LIFE BUILDER builds up an UNBEATABLE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT as well as cultivates A CHARACTER OF A WARRIOR that is able to sense, predict and prevent dangers. This scenario can be applied to health and other aspects of your life, including cancer epidemics. Havasi Life Building teaches you how to walk the path of an ancient warrior – A TRUE MODEL – the missing key in modern society. THE STOP–START THEORY Healing yourself of cancer and building up powerful health is all about to STOP doing things that cause disease, and START doing things that heal your body, mind, and spirit! This is the most fundamental and simple theory. On the other hand, for many people it is also the most difficult task to achieve.

Ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." The first steps are always the most difficult ones to take. To succeed, you must put an enormous pressure upon your body, mind, and spirit while doing those first steps. Behind every success there is 100% devotion, followed by hard, hard work. I truly believe that every human being is equipped with a mind of unlimited boundaries. If there are boundaries – they are made by YOU! Whatever you want to achieve, I know that YOU WILL, you just HAVE TO be ready to fight for it! The biggest threat lies in the limitations you have set to your knowledge and mind. If you want to prevent from this disastrous road to hell, IT IS ABOUT TIME to make a change today! The Final Product At the end of the day, the concept remains unchanged. I want you to start BUILDING UP POWERFUL HEALTH TODAY. This concept is the absolute foundation for peace, love, and happiness. However, I have to point out that these heavenly assets don’t come for free! EVERYTHING YOU WANT, YOU CAN HAVE IT. BUT YOU MUST BE READY TO FIGHT FOR IT!

Spirituality in Cancer Healing

"Human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind." William James

â&#x20AC;&#x17E;She is a legend in spiritual healing."

(- 1850 AD) Ellen G. White Working Summary: Physical and Mental cleansing in the cancer treatment. A remarkably comprehensive analysis of the nature and treatment of disease. Books: Ministry of Healing (1905) by Ellen G. White

Ellen G. White (1827-1915) prolific author and an American Christian pioneer

Ellen G. White was a leading health writer of the 19th century. Because of her influential work, it is of interest to note her positions on some of the causative factors of malignancies. In her leading book on health, "Ministry of Healing", she said that cancer being caused by a virus, the dangers of smoking, overeating, and the overuse of fats, sugar, salt and meat eating was a significant cause of the transmission of cancer: Another cause is poisonous chemicals and drugs, such as calomel (which is Mercury(I) chloride) Ellen also declared that the disease was a CLEANSING PROCESS, instituted by the body to rid itself of impurities. On this basis, she declared, GOOD NUTRITION, CLEAN LIVING, and TRUST IN GOD were crucial to proper healing.

Meat and Cancer: "MEAT is devoid of fiber and other nutrients that have a protective effect. Meat also contains animal protein, saturated fat, and, in some cases, carcinogenic compounds such as heterocyclic amines (HCA) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) formed during the processing or cooking of meat. HCAs, formed as meat is cooked at high temperatures, and PAHs, formed during the burning of organic substances, are believed to increase cancer risk. In addition, the high fat content of meat and other animal products increases hormone production, thus increasing the risk of hormone-related cancers such as breast and prostate cancer. (In 1997, the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) published a review of the major studies on food, nutrition, and cancer prevention. For cancers of the breast, prostate, kidney, and pancreas, it was determined that red meat (beef, pork, or lamb) consumption possibly increased cancer risk. For colorectal cancer, a review of the literature determined that red meat probably increased cancer risk and that processed meat, saturated/animal fat, and heavily cooked meat possibly increased risk.)" - World Cancer Research Fund.

"Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power,â&#x20AC;&#x201D; these are the true remedies." -Ellen G. White "The only hope of better things is in the education of the people in right principles. Let physicians teach the people that restorative power is not in drugs, but in nature. Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health. In case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained. Unhealthful conditions should be changed, wrong habits corrected. Then nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to reestablish right conditions in the system." -Ellen G. White

Mind-body and cancer (The following information is excerpted from a discussion paper: Mind-Body Medicine: Science, Practice And Philosophy by Dr Craig Hassed, Senior lecturer, Monash University Department of General Practice East Bentleigh, Victoria 3165, Australia,2006. Reprinted with permission. Special Thanks to Dr. Craig Hassed)10

There has been much debate over the years about the role of psychosocial factors in the aetiology and progression of cancer as has already been intimated. A number of studies have suggested a link between them and some of the mechanisms explaining such a link will be discussed later. Poor coping, distress and depression have been linked to poor survival for a number of cancers including lung cancer, breast cancer, malignant melanoma, and bowel cancer among others. Some studies have not confirmed a link. Elsewhere, global quality of life has also been linked to survival for a variety of cancers. One study, as an example, showed that a number of factors including the perceived aim of treatment, minimisationiii, quality of life and anger all influenced survival. Interestingly, patients who were married also lived longer. It would be true to say that most, but not all, studies have confirmed a relationship between psychological factors and cancer but there are many methodological issues which still need to be resolved in terms of doing this research. If psychosocial factors are important in the aetiology and prognosis of cancer then the question which most often raises itself is whether psychosocial interventions such as group support, relaxation and meditation, CBT etc will produce better prognosis. That they improve quality of life is clear but there are very few completed controlled trials examining psychological interventions and survival for cancer patients. Those which have been done have tended to show a significant improvement in both quality of life and survival time but one must elucidate why others have not. Reference; Mind-Body Medicine: Science, Practice and Philosophy by Dr Craig Hassed

The most noted and first study of its type was done by David Spiegel. He studied women with metastatic breast cancer and showed a doubling of survival time from 18.9 months to 36.6 months from the time of entry into the study. The intervention was group support and some simple relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques plus the usual medical management. Ten years after the study three women in the intervention group were still alive but none in the control group who had the usual medical management alone. Importantly, divergence between the survival curves of the two groups did not take place until some 20 months after entry into the trial. Sixty-eight patients with early stage malignant melanoma were divided into two groups. At six-year follow-up those who had usual care plus stress management showed a halving of recurrence (7/34 vs. 13/34) and much lower death rate (3/34 vs. 10/34; p=0.03) than the group with only the usual surgical management. The intervention was only six weeks of stress management early after the diagnosis and surgery. Both groups also had their immune function monitored which showed that after being originally comparable the stress management group had significantly better immune function six months into the study. We know that melanoma is one of the tumors aggressively attacked by the NK cells of the immune system and this probably contributed to a major difference in survival rates. It would seem that both studies suggest a lag-time between the intervention and improving clinical outcomes. Ten year follow-up on the Fawzy program has still shown a positive effect although this effect has weakened a little over time. With the relatively little amount of research in the field we do not know if, by analogy, the ‘dose-response’ is not similar to immunization in that ‘boosters’ may be required to maintain the therapeutic effect. Other studies, for example with gastrointestinal malignancies, have also yielded promising results in terms of survival for liver, gastrointestinal malignancies, lymphoma but others have shown equivocal or negative results. The last of these trials was a largescale attempt to replicate the findings of David Spiegel some years before but the results Reference; Mind-Body Medicine: Science, Practice and Philosophy by Dr Craig Hassed

were negative despite the fact that the effects of the intervention had a positive effect on mental health. Of the negative trials only two have shown a positive effect on mental health but no significant effect on survival. Of those that showed a positive effect on survival they also showed improved mental health as a result of the intervention. So the trend seems that, similar to the findings in heart disease mentioned previously, where the psychosocial intervention has marginal long-term effect on mood or quality of life it does not seem to translate into longer survival. Although there are an increasing number of trials coming out there are still questions left open in the area of psychosocial support and cancer survival. Such questions can only be answered by judicious and insightful research. • Does psychosocial support work in terms of improved survival and if so why do some studies show the positive results and not others? • Doesn't it work and if not what are the factors which are leading to 'false-positive results'. • Does it help all forms of cancer or only some such as those against which a more vigorous immune response is mounted like melanoma? • Does it help all patients or only those who really need it or only those who comply with the program's objectives (this is what Ornish found for heart disease)? • Do all programs work or are positive findings only found with the best targeted and run programs? • What should a doctor tell their patients on the basis of the presently available data?

An important issue needs to be addressed as in the case of Ornish’s work. It would seem that it is not just being in a program which is protective but the level to which the person participates or lives by it. This was demonstrated by a study finding that high involvement in the program was associated with better survival. If studies do not control for this factor they may find ambiguous results. Also important is the fact that different interventions use different styles of group support, meditation etc. Those which Reference; Mind-Body Medicine: Science, Practice and Philosophy by Dr Craig Hassed

use the most validated forms of meditation and also foster positive emotional responses including humour and hope, for example, are far more likely to be successful. Not all interventions are equal. A lot of work needs to take place in determining what sort of interventions work and what is the best way of administering them, either by residential programs, regular support groups or in some other way. Programs attempting to deal with psychological factors need to take into account that personality traits and coping styles such as ‘helplessness’ and ‘optimism’ are probably both inherited and conditioned. The most interesting research in this field has come along very recently when the first controlled trial on a total lifestyle program was assessed. Again, it was the Ornish lifestyle program, similar to heart disease, but with some important modifications making it particularly relevant to cancer. The study was on men with prostate cancer and evaluated the effects after 1 year of comprehensive lifestyle changes on PSA, treatment trends and LNCaP (a marker of the body’s defences against prostate cancer) in men with early, biopsy proven prostate cancer. Participants were men who had chosen not to undergo any conventional treatment, i.e. they had chosen to watch and wait which is not unreasonable considering that most early prostate cancers are not aggressive or life threatening. Ninety-three volunteers were randomly assigned to the experimental lifestyle group or usual care. Over the following year, no experimental Reference; Mind-Body Medicine: Science, Practice and Philosophy by Dr Craig Hassed

(lifestyle) group patients developed aggressive cancer but 6 control group patients underwent conventional treatment due to an increase in PSA and/or progression of disease on MRI. Furthermore, changes in PSA and LNCaP cell growth were significantly associated with the degree of change in diet and lifestyle meaning that the more lifestyle change the men adhered to the greater the improvement in their condition. The belief that cancer is an inevitably progressive condition may in fact be far from the truth. PSA decreased by an average of 4% in the experimental group but increased by an average of 6% in the control group and growth of LNCaP prostate cancer cells were inhibited 8 times more by serum from experimental than from control group. The role of exercise by itself is looming large as both a preventive and a therapeutic strategy for prolonging survival for cancer patients. This is independent of its effects on improving mood, immunity, vitality etc. To illustrate, a study on 2987 women with stage 1-3 breast cancer Reference; Mind-Body Medicine: Science, Practice and Philosophy by Dr Craig Hassed

followed for up to 18y found that the risk of death for those who engaged in >9 METhr/wk (-walking 3-5 hr/wk) was 0.50, i.e. they had half the chance of dieting over that time. A study on 47620 men over 14 years found that -3000 had developed prostate cancer. In those older than 65 the risk of advanced prostate cancer was 0.33, i.e. it was one third the risk. In a study on 526 patients with colorectal cancer followed for over 5 years it was found that the risk of death was halved (0.49) for stage II&III cancer. The success of chemotherapy for cancer has been much oversold and compares extremely poorly next to the findings for exercise. "As the 5-year relative survival rate for cancer in Australia is now over 60%, it is very clear that cytotoxic chemotherapy only makes a minor contribution (2%) to cancer survival. To justify the continued funding and availability of drugs used in cytotoxic chemotherapy, a rigorous evaluation of the cost-effectiveness and impact on quality of life is urgently required." The role of the mind in cancer is hotly debated and on the basis of the present direct evidence one would have to express cautious optimism but to ignore the vigorous pursuit of further research in this field would be a significant oversight. The potential mechanisms for longer survival in those with better mental health and less stress will now be briefly discussed. In summary mechanisms largely fall into a number of categories. 1. Via the HPA axis, cortisol and other

5.Angiogenesis; i.e. the ability of cancers to make their own blood supply 6. Better compliance with treatment 7. Improved lifestyle 8. Others?

stress hormones 2. Genetic mutation and expression 3. Stress causing suppression of the immune cells (NK cells) leading to reduced host defences 4. Induction of protective â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;anti-cancerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hormones such as melatonin Reference; Mind-Body Medicine: Science, Practice and Philosophy by Dr Craig Hassed

The stress response, via networks such as the hypothalamic-pituitary axis (HPA), has many far-reaching physiological effects. These mechanisms, built into the physiology to protect life, can be harmful if switched on inappropriately over a prolonged period. Recent research has demonstrated that poor social support, chronic stress and depression are associated with higher cortisol levels and a flattening of the natural diurnal rhythm. High allostatic load is associated with adverse health outcomes and flattened diurnal cortisol rhythm is a marker of allostatic load. It has been shown to predict shorter survival among women with metastatic breast cancer. Women with metastatic breast cancer have significantly flatter diurnal cortisol rhythms than controls and patients with greater disease severity showed higher mean cortisol levels and flatter diurnal cortisol rhythms. In women with breast cancer these studies suggest that this pattern is highly predictive of poor survival up to seven years later. These patterns of cortisol secretion were also associated with low counts and suppressed activity of NK cells. Chronic stress produces immuno-suppression and/or inefficient immune function. It has commonly been thought, however, that the body’s main defense against cancer is a tumour ‘rejection’ response mediated through the NK-cells of the immune system. The original hypothesis was that immuno-enhancement through better stress managing potentiated this effect. This mechanism may well explain some of the beneficial effects for some tumours but not all. In some cases, like malignant melanoma, the immune system has been shown to recognise and aggressively attack the tumour but it has also been noted that many other tumours do not wear their antigens on their surface and therefore the immune system cannot recognise them. Other potential mechanisms whereby stress can aggravate cancer include the chemical mediators of the stress response which can stimulate tumour growth, almost like a ‘FERTILISER’. Some of these mediators can also suppress cancer or even induce apoptosis (cell suicide). Many stress mediators facilitate wound healing but when induced inappropriately they float around the body and Reference; Mind-Body Medicine: Science, Practice and Philosophy by Dr Craig Hassed

act on rapidly replicating cells, like cancer cells. Even the physiological stress associated with surgery has been shown to increase the growth of tumour metastases at distant sites via these hormones. Therefore it is being increasingly postulated that our approach to cancer has focused far too much on the cell types and has ignored "the aberrant signaling on control pathways malignant cells manifest." Reducing stress hormones such as cytokines, mitogens, PAF and PDGF297 and inducing hormones associated with wellbeing and relaxation like melatonin may be part of the reason why stress reduction and psychosocial interventions help cancer survival. Immune mediators TNF-alpha can kill tumour cells and have anti-tumour effects. It has been demonstrated that many tumours are held ‘dormant’ by a balance between cell division, cell death and the body’s defenses. Upsetting this balance may explain why it has been consistently noted that the occurrence and recurrence of cancer often follow recent traumatic events that the person did not deal with well. In this case it would be more accurate to say that the stress is a contributing or precipitating factor rather than a cause of the cancer. Many things affect the ‘stress system’ such as circadian, neuro-sensory, bloodborne and limbic signals. One particular immune mediator which is generating a lot of interest is melatonin. Melatonin apart from having significant immuno-modulatory and anti-aging effects has anti-tumour effects, is anti-proliferative, an intranuclear down-regulator of gene expression, and an inhibitor of the release and activity of growth factors. Because of the biological activity of melatonin, these studies also have a number of implications for cancer therapies. Melatonin stimulated endogenously, i.e. at physiological levels, has many beneficial effects but at the much higher pharmacological doses it can actually have very negative effects, such as immuno-suppression, hence there is a risk when people self-medicate. More is not necessarily better. If one looks at the

Reference; Mind-Body Medicine: Science, Practice and Philosophy by Dr Craig Hassed

things which stimulate melatonin endogenously we find many of the interventions which form a part of holistic cancer support programs. Because sleep is so intimately linked with melatonin, immunity and mood one might expect that it is also linked with cancer progression. Indeed, circadian system – "body-clock" – alterations occur in cancer patients with greater disruption seen in more advanced cases. Psychosocial factors engender the dysregulation of these rhythms. The mechanisms by which circadian disruption might hasten tumor growth are due to the direct effects of altered hormone levels on tumor cells, the effects on tumor versus host metabolism, immunosuppression and reduced efficacy and tolerability of cancer treatments. From a therapeutic perspective, sleep regulation may be a prerequisite for maintenance of host defenses and have implications for cancer prognosis. The effect of stress on genetic expression has already been mentioned but the evidence is more circumstantial than definitive that stress triggers cancer genes. We do know that we can have genetic dispositions to cancer and that there are protective genes such as ‘cancer suppressor genes.’ It has also been shown that stress impairs repair of genetic mutations, for example, lymphocytes taken from distressed patients had significantly poorer DNA repair than controls. Stress has been well shown to cause oxidative damage to DNA. Another major defense the body has against cancer is the ability to switch on apoptosis (cell death). In one series of experiments it was noted that psychological stress affected the ability of immune cells to initiate genetically programmed apoptosis. This has implications not only for genetics but also for cancer because a switching off of apoptosis is one of the mechanisms behind the growth of cancer cells. Other markers of DNA repair are noted to be suppressed in cancer patients and are potential markers of cancer susceptibility. Thus oxidative stress due to psychological stress and a low intake of antioxidants may both be crucial factors in the evolution and progression of cancer. Reference; Mind-Body Medicine: Science, Practice and Philosophy by Dr Craig Hassed

Melatonin, among other powerful anti-oxidants and hormonal modulators of immunity and genetic function, may be more important than we realize. Evidence is accumulating that "a cognitive-behavioral regimen integrating cognitive techniques (meditation-based anti-stress, anti-inflammatory techniques, others), dietary modification ("dietary restriction" or modified dietary restriction), and certain forms of aerobic exercise, may prolong the healthy life span." The likely molecular mediators include DHEA, a variety of interleukins and melatonin which all possess potential regenerative, including stem cell-activating properties. There is potential for dramatic regeneration associated with changes in the pineal gland and bone marrow. In a series of experiments on workers perceived workload, perceived psychological stress and the impossibility of alleviating stress were all associated with poor markers for DNA damage. Further analysis revealed that personality factors were linked to measures of oxidative DNA damage. High measures of ‘TensionAnxiety’ particularly for males or ‘Depression-Rejection’ for females were correlated with DNA damage as were low levels of ‘Vigor’. Even more interesting was the fact that a low level of closeness to parents in childhood and bereavement in the previous three years were also associated with greater DNA damage. The papers therefore hypothesise that Reference; Mind-Body Medicine: Science, Practice and Philosophy by Dr Craig Hassed

perceived workload, ability to alleviate stress, psychological distress, gender, coping style, poor interpersonal relationships and family loss might have implications for the pathogenesis of cancer via genetic mechanisms. There is even evidence in animal studies that oxidative DNA damage can be classically conditioned. The implications for all these findings are significant but, as yet, barely explored. Another area just beginning to be explored involves angiogenesis which is the process of blood vessel formation, a vital process for the growth of tumours. This growth is mediated via many chemicals, principally cytokines. One particularly important cytokine is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In patients with ovarian carcinoma, for example, high levels of this cytokine have been associated with poor prognosis. It has been known that it is also mediated through sympathetic nervous system activation, a vital part of the stress response, but until recently researchers had not looked for more than a circumstantial link until recently when a study clearly showed that women who reported higher levels of social well being had lower levels of VEGF, good prognostic sign. ‘Helplessness’ and ‘worthlessness’ were both associated with higher levels of VEGF but, inexplicably, depression was not related to VEGF. Other studies have also emphasized the importance of angiogenesis in tumour progression and found a link with depression. Due to the effects of stress on immune, neurochemical and endocrine functions chronic stress leads to greater tumor burden and more invasive growth of ovarian carcinoma. Tumors in stressed animals showed markedly increased vascularization (angiogenesis) and enhanced expression of hormones which modulate these effects. Much more work needs to be done and as yet it has not been studied to know if these poor prognostic signs can be reversed by psychosocial interventions.

In the chapter with the Shivambu Kalpa Vidhi title in the ancient book of the Damar Tantra, was discussed about aspects of medical treatment by using urine. It is not surprising since ancient till now; in India the usual person treated his health by drinking a glass of urine each morning.

On the contrary, his condition only worsened. He decided to try urine therapy for two reasons. First of all, a quotation from the Bible stimulated his curiosity: "Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well." (The Book of Proverbs 5:15) Secondly, he had childhood memories of his mother smearing urine on his face which was swollen from a bee sting, and of his grandfather treating animals with urine.

He felt benefits of the therapy within a week, and was soon completely cured. He continued the therapy for the rest of his life and argued for its curative effects on health. His experience was contained in the Time magazine in 1979. After feeling the benefit and the usefulness of urine therapy, at 1974 Morarji Bhai Desai built Shivambu Yoga and Nature Cure Center in Shivambu Bhavan, Vashi Naka Road, KOLHAPUR 416012, that set medical treatment with urine therapy aside.

(â&#x20AC;Ś) Drinking one's own urine is a very powerful blood cleanser and purifier. Urine is pure, fresh, organic, live, filtered "structured" water, at body temperature, containing large quantities of pure, predigested nutrients. It is fresh, raw, and alive, and the cost is totally free (to say the least). No wonder why the general medical profession doesn't know more about it - there's no money in it for doctors or for pharmaceutical companies (although there are many pharmaceutical preparations, moisturizing lotions, etc, which derive from urine). Urine is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and antiviral. It is used in cases of AIDS (only AIDS anti-bodies in urine); CANCER; fatigue; anemia; all sorts of urinary diseases, for weight-loss, colds and flu, candida, diabetes, digestive problems, jaundice, etc. It is medically-proven against polio, rabies, and tuberculosis. The list of diseases for which it is effective is very long, and around 175 known diseases are said to respond to this kind of therapy. (See longer, partial list at end of this report). Urine therapy is truly a "PANACEA" (i.e., a "CURE-ALL" or "universal remedy"). The folklore is to take the middle stream only, and morning urine is best, although John Armstrong often recommended drinking it all, every drop, until well. The past few years have seen "World Symposiums" on urine-therapy, attended by hundreds of doctors from around the world who drink their own urine.

[Dinshah P. Ghadiali] was the Indian physician, scientist, engineer, civil reformer, editor, aviator, scholar, metaphysician, inventor, and color therapy researcher Dinshah P. Ghadiali (18731966). This man was EXTRAORDINARY in many ways and pursued a wide range of investigative inquiry; scientific and otherwise, in his long, but persecuted lifetime (thanks to the American Medical Association). He was truly a Renaissance man in every sense of the word. His greatest legacy is a simple, but ENORMOUSLY SUCCESSFUL, system of light therapy which he had labeled "Spectro-Chrome". As a physician in India, Dinshah was familiar with the color therapy investigations of two men: Dr. Edwin D. Babbitt who had published a book, The Principles of Light and Color in 1878, which detailed experimental findings using colored light and its effects upon living systems and Dr. Seth Pancoast, author of Light and its Rays as Medicine (1877). In 1897, Dinshah was presented with a unique opportunity to apply these theories in order to save the life of a woman who had been given up for dead by her orthodox physicians and was merely hours away from death. When all other conventional avenues

Reference: Dinshah P. Ghadiali & Spectro-Chrome Color Therapy by Ken Adachi, Educate-Yourself.org, http://cheapmedicine.blogspot.ie/

were exhausted, Dinshah SAVED this woman's LIFE by the application of colored light directed to portions of her nude body using a blue colored glass bottle and light from a kerosene lantern as his sole source of illumination. The woman was the niece of one of Dinshah's Theosophical Society friends and was dying of mucous colitis. She was losing all of her vital fluids because of almost constant diarrhea; which occurred up to a hundred times a day. Dinshah also exposed to the sun, the same blue colored bottle filled with milk and gave it to her to drink. After the first day of treatment, her urge to evacuate reduced from a hundred times a day down to ten. After three days, she was able to get out of bed and soon recovered completely. Needless to say, her doctors were dumbfounded. Following this remarkable experience, it took Dinshah an additional 23 years to fully integrate and focus on his theories of Spectro-Chrome color therapy that history would show to be his GREATEST (and almost lost) CONTRIBUTION TO HUMANITY. By the 1920's, Dinshah was lecturing on color therapy and soon offered a complete course of study for physicians (first at his home in New Jersey and later in a classroom building) in the application and use of Spectro-Chrome. Things were progressing nicely and word was rapidly spreading of the ease and efficacy of this simple therapy among professionals. More and more physicians were signing on to take Dinshah's course and installing the Spectro-Chrome color instruments in their offices. The future was looking bright for Dinshah and the prospects of integrating Spectro-Chrome color therapy into every doctor's office in the nation appeared to be a distinct possibility. That is, until the AMA got wind of Dinshah's burgeoning reputation among their own. In 1924, the AMA published a scurrilous slam piece in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) debunking Dinshah and his Spectro-Chrome color therapy as a hoax. The AMA branded himâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;without any investigation whatsoever-and his Spectro-Chrome color therapy as WORTHLESS and FRAUDULENT. Up until then, Reference: Dinshah P. Ghadiali & Spectro-Chrome Color Therapy by Ken Adachi, Educate-Yourself.org, http://cheapmedicine.blogspot.ie/

interest in his color therapy among the ranks of physician advocates had been growing exponentially. The 1924 AMA attack, however, was the beginning of the end for what could have been another milestone and major advancement in the healing arts, to say nothing of the abatement of suffering for millions of people. The AMA's 1924 debunking article in JAMA grew into an unrelenting harassment and debunking campaign which led to a jury trial in 1931 in which Dinshah, defending himself, won the case handily, thanks in part to the supportive testimony of eminent physicians and scientists which included Dr. Kate Baldwin, director of The Women’s Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. But two other FDA persecution trials (oh yes, the APPA never accepts defeat with anything resembling equanimity-never) in the 1940’s were both lost and spelled the end of Spectro-Chrome usage by physicians or even by lay persons who had purchased the Dinshah light projectors. The openly biased judge in charge of the last trial in 1946 declared that the Spectro-Chrome color therapy system was an "evil" that "had to be stamped out". A photo was published in many newspapers and magazines in the late 40’s showing federal agents smashing Dinshah's Spectro-Chrome Light Projectors (actually seized from hundreds of private homes between 1945-48) out in the street using sledge hammers; a scene somewhat reminiscent of the government's staged publicity photo stunts of the 1920’s and 30’s which showed Federal agents swinging sledge hammers in the street demonstrating their sophisticated approach to eradicating the intrinsic evil possessed by slot machines and wooden whiskey barrels. Dinshah’s remarkably effective Spectro-Chrome therapy system might have slipped into obscurity unnoticed and unappreciated had it not been for the efforts of his three sons, especially Darius Dinshah, who became the president of what is now called the

Dinshah Health Society. Darius published a book explaining his father's Spectro-Chrome system and color therapy protocol in his 1985 book titled, Let There Be Light. Darius' father originally used 5 colored glass slides (glass plates) along with an ordinary incandescent light bulb for his light source to apply the Spectro-Chrome therapy. Dinshah experimented with higher wattage bulbs, but found that a 60 watt incandescent light bulb or even a flashlight worked just as effectively as a 2,000 watt bulb! Darius repeatedly reminds the reader in Let There Be Light that high power lighting wasn't necessary for Spectro-Chrome therapy to work. The colored light energy applied in Spectro-Chrome is intended to buttress and enhance the color frequency spectrum of the human aura to achieve results, and the refinements of that etheric energy matrix require no bombardment of high intensity photons to yield results. Today, glass slides could still be used, but they are difficult to find with the proper polychromatic characteristics. Roscolene plastic color gels (filters) seem to work just as well AND they are easier to obtain and carry around. Let There Be Light explains how to match the symptoms the patient is experiencing with the appropriate color filter(s) for a "tonation" as Dinshah had coined the treatment. Tonations are usually one hour long and the colored light is exposed to the area of the body requiring treatment (all detailed in the book). Far better results are achieved if the user pays attention to the something that Darius calls the "Variant Breath Forecast Time" which coincides with the body's natural cyclic breathing rhythms and change with different times of the day or night. As we go through these daily breathing cycles, more air will predominantly pass through one nostril over the opposite nostril, then gradually a point will come when both nostrils are drawing in an equivalent amount of air (this ideally should be the midway point of the one hour tonation), and then the opposite nostril will predominate and so on as the cycle repeats itself.

Hand in hand with his health research, Dr Stone pursued his spiritual quest. For him the two were inextricably intertwined. "As above, so below; as within, so without" he often told his students. Dr Stone's big breakthrough came in August 1945 when he stayed up all one night reading Mysticism the Spiritual Path, Volume 11, by Lekh Raj Puri. The next morning he exclaimed: "This is exactly what 1 have been looking for all my life!" Dr Stone was excited because this book explained explicitly where all energy comes from and how it can be harnessed for 'spiritual development. It also gave him insights into how the blockage of this physical energy results in illness and unhappiness (â&#x20AC;Ś). By 1957, Dr Stone had published 5 MAJOR WORKS ON POLARITY THERAPY, plus a book about surat shabd yoga entitled The Mystic Bible, and had pioneered the techniques of craniosacral therapy thirty years before John Upledger's seminal textbook on the subject (â&#x20AC;Ś). On 9th December 1981, Rudolf Bautsch, known for sixty-five years as Dr Randolph Stone, passed away peacefully and joyfully at the age of ninety-one years and ten months.

Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer M.D. was born in 1935 and grew up in Frisia, Germany. He received his high school diploma at age 18 and started medical and theological studies in Tubingen, where he met Sigrid Oldenburg, a medical student who later became his wife. At age 20, he passed the preliminary examination in medicine, married a year later, and completed his theological examinations at 22. A daughter was born to the young family and a son, DIRK, who would later play a large role in their lives. At 24, Hamer passed his medical state examination in Marburg. After his residency two years later, he was granted a professional license as a doctor of medicine. There followed a number of years at the University Clinics of Tubingen and Heidelberg. In 1972, Hamer Reference: © 2011 The German New Medicine, www.newmedicine.ca

"Through the millennia, humanity has more or less consciously known that all diseases ultimately have a psychic origin and it became a "scientific" asset firmly anchored in the inheritance of universal knowledge; it is only modern medicine that has turned our animated beings into a bag full of chemical formulas." - Ryke Geerd Hamer, MD, from www.newmedicine.ca/ "It’s estimated that everybody that has cancer, in the prior two years to their cancer surfacing had some type of depression, or emotional problem that they couldn’t deal with the process. And it just ate away at their immune system. The bottom line is that negative emotions will cause cancer, will distroy our immune system, will depress our immune system." - Richard Schulze, ND., MH. Save Your Life - Video Collection, from www.herbdoc.com 58 "Remember that we are our own symptom producers and that with good reasons, and that we are capable of mobilizing immeasurable forces for better and for worse, that we have the ability to cure ourselves, that no "cork head" is to come and banish us from life with one single word, "cancer", which we till now have used as a death sentence. This can be enough to get struck with fear and panic, that which this word is built upon and which does not consist of anything else than erroneous and false information." - Christian Helmrich, MD; Cancer, the Riddle That Is No More

completed his specialization in internal medicine. He also worked in a practice with his wife Dr. Sigrid Hamer. He had always had a specific hobby: patenting his inventions, examples of which are the non-traumatic Hamer-scalpel for plastic surgery which cuts twenty times more sharply than a razor; a special bone saw, also for plastic surgery; a massage table that automatically adjusts to the contours of the body, and a device for transcutaneous serum diagnosis. The Hamers were a normal family with four children (two girls and two boys), until August, 1978, when a terrible event shook their lives: an Italian prince of the House of Savoy accidentally shot Dirk Hamer while he was asleep on a boat anchored on the island of Cavallo. Dirkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battle with death lasted for almost four months, while his father watched over him day and night. Dirk finally died on December 7th, 1978. As became clear three years later, this resulted in a loss conflict for Dr. Hamer, which caused a testicular carcinoma. He later named this conflict the "Dirk Hamer Syndrome", a biological conflict shock that catches one unexpectedly "on the wrong foot". In 1981, Hamer thought that these connections applied only to cancer and had no idea that the IRON RULE OF CANCER would become the central discovery for all of medicine. He submitted his Reference: ÂŠ 2011 The German New Medicine, www.newmedicine.ca

"Nevertheless, he operated an underfunded cancer clinic and was having phenomenal success with a 92% cure rate in well over 20,000 cases. Dr. Hamer maintains that modern cancer treatments are cruel, barbarous and unnecessary. He says that if he knew the truth back when he had his testicular cancer, he would never have asked for its surgical removal." - Stephen Coleman, alternative therapist in California, henrymakow.com, Also by this author, "Doctors Ignore Mental Causes of Disease" "After I presented a lecture in Vienna in May 1991, a doctor gave me a brain computer tomogram (CT) of a patient. In the presence of 20 of his colleagues, among them radiologists and computer tomography experts, he asked me to tell him what symptoms the patient had and which type of conflicts where related to them. I was asked to conclude from the brain level the condition of the other two levels. I diagnosed from the brain CT a freshly bleeding bladder carcinoma in the healing phase, an old prostate carcinoma, a diabetic condition, an old bronchial carcinoma, and a sensory paralysis of a certain area in the body and for each of these, the corresponding conflicts that the patient must have experienced. At this point the doctor stood up in front of all his colleagues and said, "Dr. Hamer, congratulations! Five specific claims five successes! The patient had exactly what you say. And you were even able to differentiate what symptoms he had in the past and which symptom he has now." - Interview with Dr. Hamer, 1992. from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The summary of the New Medicine book by Dr. Hamer syntropic.wordpress.com 22, 23

discovery to the University in Tubingen in October, 1981 as a post-doctoral thesis for qualification as a university lecturer. The main objective of the thesis was to provide his results to the University so that they could be tested on the next available cases as quickly as possible and benefit patients! In May 1982 the University rejected the work on the interconnections between the psyche and cancer, without testing a single case for reproduction, something they later admitted to in court. In the next few years, Hamer tried repeatedly to open a hospital or a clinic as a refuge for his patients so that they could benefit from his knowledge. This was always made impossible by concerted action against it. Sigrid Hamer died in 1985, clearly from sorrow over the death of her son, and demoralized by the ceaseless intimidation inflicted by the powerful Savoy family. The persecution reached a high point in 1986 when the District of Koblenz initiated an action to stop Hamer from practicing medicine on the basis that he "failed to deny the Iron-Rule-of-Cancer and failed to convert to the tenets of official medicine". This was established in one hearing. Forcefully implemented, it was determined that Hamer lacked the "maneuverability" and the "necessary insight with regard to the required cancer therapy". Since then, (1986) Hamer has not been allowed to talk to any patients. A presiding judge of the District Reference: ÂŠ 2011 The German New Medicine, www.newmedicine.ca

"Regarding the diagnosis of cancers, about 40% of routine examinations reveal old encapsulated tumors, which should be left untouched. If the diagnosis has caused any conflicts, such as a death fright conflict or a "selfdevaluation conflict", these conflicts need to be addressed. In any case, there is never a reason to panic or to be scared of "metastasizing cancer cells". - Ryke Geerd Hamer, MD from http://docs9.chomikuj.pl/ "An individual who eats properly is less susceptible to suffer biological conflicts. That is self-evident. It is a lot like why rich people don't get as many cancers as the poor, because the rich are able to resolve many conflicts simply by pulling out their cheque book and writing a cheque. But to prevent cancer (or any other disease) through diet is impossible, because even a healthy diet cannot stop conflicts from occurring." - Ryke Geerd Hamer, MD from biomicrocure.com/

Court of Cologne advised him, by warrant, to find (at age 51) another calling, unrelated to medicine. This made it impossible for Hamer to continue scientific research. With no financial means, a secretary or other co-workers, he had to obtain CT’s and the corresponding records for his research with great difficulty, and with the help of other doctors. This led to some cases being not as well documented as he would have liked (…). Had he had a clinic and some financial support, one can hardly imagine... In 1986, a court ordered that the University of Tubingen continue the post-doctoral thesis proceedings. Nothing happened until January 3, 1994 when the judgment to validate Hamer's thesis was executed, a unique process in the history of universities! However, after 13 years, it was unlikely that the University would test the German New Medicine on the next available cases. On the 22nd April, the University announced that "verification within the framework of the postdoctoral thesis is not planned" (…). In 1994, Hamer expanded his system to the 5 biological laws that cover all diseases in the entire field of medicine, based on research of 20,000 cases. Since the underlying criteria are completely scientific, it is very easy to test the German New Medicine, as it has been named since then. Physicians and physicians' associations all over the world are constantly attesting to its veracity through signed documentation.

Morrnah was born May 19, 1913, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Kimokeo and Lilia Simeona, both native Hawaiians. Her mother, Lilia, was one of the last recognized kahuna laʻau kahea or priest who heals with words. Morrnah was a practitioner of lomilomi (massage) and for 10 years owned and operated health spas at the Kahala Hilton and Royal Hawaiian hotels. Among her massage clients at the Hilton spa were Lyndon B. Johnson, Jackie Kennedy and Arnold 48

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Repeated blood pressure measurements were compared before and after the intervention using generalized estimating equations; two spirituality questionnaires were administered before and after the intervention and analyzed with paired RESULTS: Systolic blood pressure decreased after the intervention, averaging 11.86 mm Hg below pre-intervention levels. Diastolic blood pressure decreased by 5.44 mm Hg. Spirituality scores significantly increased after the intervention. CONCLUSIONS: Self Identity through Ho'oponopono was associated with a statistically and clinically significant reduction in mean blood pressure. Spirituality scores increased after the intervention. We conclude that Self Identity through Ho'oponopono may be an effective adjunctive therapy for hypertension. Further research is needed to validate these preliminary findings." - Self identity through Ho'oponopono as adjunctive therapy for hypertension management, University of Hawaii at Mãnoa, Honolulu, Hawaii 96824, USA 20

Palmer. Morrnah was a healer and in 1983 she received a great honor by being designated as a living treasure of Hawaii. She was teaching Ho’oponopono to small and large groups of people as well as to hospitals, colleges and even to United Nations personnel. She also founded "The Foundation of I, Self-Identity through Ho’oponopono" to promote principles of Ho’oponopono around the world. Historically Ho’oponopono healing system required the presence of mediator – senior qualified practitioner who would guide a healing process for practitioner. It is often that the group of people need be to interacting with each other in a certain way for the process to take place. Morrnah UPDATED Ho’oponopono in a way that healing and transformation process no longer required presence of any other person but the practitioner himself. Neither any specific interaction is required between practitioner and other people. The miracle powers of Ho’oponopono self-healing and self-improvement practice would still be unknown to the world at large if not for the works of Joe Vitale, published as "The Attractor Factor" and especially his exceptional quality "Zero Limits" book. Joe Vitale’s experience on the subject of self improvement as well as his in-depth research about Ho’oponopono deserves the highest marks. It’s from Joe Vitale’s "Zero Limits" book that the world found out about true miracles and powers of Ho’oponopono as well as about Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len. Dr. Hew Len was the most avid student of Morrnah Simeona and practitioner of updated Ho’oponopono technique. He was the first person who got documented and confirmed proof of the healing miracles initiated by the Ho’oponopono process. Dr. Hew Len observed Ho’oponopono healing powers himself when Morrnah Simeona healed his daughter from painful bleeding shingles (skin disease) that she suffered from for more than a decade without anyone or anything helping.

Reference: Ho’oponopono, I dream catcher, http://www.idreamcatcher.com/)

Being traditionally educated university-trained physician he decided to look deeper into the process that Morrnah Simeona was using. He signed into her seminar in 1982 and not without certain degree of struggle ("…she was talking to spirits and sounding nuts!…" – ‘Zero Limits’, page 42) managed to complete the training. She was staying and learning from Morrnah all the way till 1992 when she passed away. Paying utmost attention to her teaching and practices Dr Hew Len managed to simplify and improve Ho’oponopono process even more and with amazing results. From 1984 till 1987 he worked as a staff psychologist for Hawaii State Hospital overseeing high security unit housing male criminally insane patients. Now, to make things clear – these are the type of guys you don’t want to turn your back on. These guys committed murders, rapes, assaults and due to their degree of "insanity" were locked into psychiatric high security facility. Violence against each other and staff members were common. Fast forward to 1987 (3 years later) wrist and ankle restraints were no longer used in this facility. Violence almost ceased to exist, only involving mostly new patients. New off-site activities were introduced to former violent patients. The spirit and order in the unit was greatly improved and eventually the whole unit was closed because there was no need. People just got improved, HEALED and released or moved into other non-violent wards. This all was documented, described my multiple witnesses and personnel. According to Dr. Hew Len: He did not do any therapy or counseling with patients He did not attend any staff conferences on patients He practiced updated Ho’oponopono process on a daily basis that included accepting 100% of responsibility for everything being experienced by him. (Zero Limits, page 142) Reference: Ho’oponopono, I dream catcher, http://www.idreamcatcher.com/)

Dr. Hew Len improved and practiced updated Ho’oponopono process every day and this process caused the most miraculous transformation within the most challenging environment. So what exactly is Ho’oponopono and how does it work? When Joe Vitale met with Dr. Hew Len and asked him how exactly he managed to heal these violent patients without actually seeing each of them in person, his answer was: "I didn’t heal them. I healed part of myself that created them". To me that was the most fundamental revelation to date. That phrase alone explains the most important presumption of Ho’oponopono: You are 100% responsible for everything. Everything and everywhere! And it means not only your personal screw-ups and your personal successes. It means if someone somewhere did something and you became aware of that – you are 100% responsible for that. Ho’oponopono is not your free ticket to guilt trip. Being 100% responsible is not the same as feeling infinitely guilty for miseries. It’s reminder of your creative powers and gentle welcome to return back to your inner nature. That is to Zero. Joe Vitale wrote a great book on the subject called Zero Limits. When you returning back to your most inner nature – to Zero – everything becomes available to you effortlessly and you are being driven by inspiration from Divinity, not by petty ego wants. Ho’oponopono’s Zero is the same thing that Eckhart Tolle names Unmanifested. Back to practical reality – let assume that Zero is the next great thing after sliced bread. Or even before sliced bread. Whatever. How do we get to that "magical" state? What exactly needed to be done? This is achieved by constant cleaning process. Cleaning is the actual Ho’oponopono practice. Cleaning what? You clean yourself from subconscious garbage – programs that run your life without your participation. Reference: Ho’oponopono, I dream catcher, http://www.idreamcatcher.com/)

Apparently Ho’oponopono process is very simple. Actual Ho’oponopono cleaning process consists of repetitions of the following phrases: • I LOVE YOU • PLEASE FORGIVE ME • I AM SORRY • THANK YOU These phrases repeated will ignite the self transformation process for the practitioner. This is exactly what Dr. Hew Len did to invite divine transformation powers for his surrounding during his work at Hawaiian mental hospital. The most powerful phrases here are: "I Love you" and "Thank You". The powers of Love and Gratitude are unquestionable in every self-empowerment teaching, school or religion. Who do you say these phrases? Essentially you just say them. No need to feel anything special, imagine anything, or otherwise to complicate this process. As Dr. Hew Len often says "just do it". The process is as simple as breathing. When you breathe in and breathe out – you clean your body from processed "polluted" air and enrich it with fresh, oxygen rich, and good energy air. And all this happens without you mixing breathing process with any esoteric or complicated practices. It just happens and your body gets constant supply of oxygen. Same with ho’oponopono. You repeat these phrases just like a mantra and the cleaning process happens. You may clean life situations, places, relationships and of course financial situations. When something comes to your awareness – you ACCEPT 100% responsibility for that and repeat the cleaning process. No guilt trips. No intellectualizing. No judgments. You clean. Divinity does the rest. Divinity == God == Infinite Intelligence == ______________ Ho’oponopono cleaning is letting go and letting God.

Herbal Therapy in Cancer Healing

"Everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission. This is the Indian theory of existence." Mourning Dove 53

Blake, M.D. (1858) (The following information is excerpted from: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA)

In late 1857, three separate medical doctors surfaced in the U.S. and England with reports of a cancer cure that worked with amazing success. Dr. Blake, of New York City, applied a powdered mixture of herbs mixed as a salve – and applied to the cancerous area. The growth would generally be gone within 3 weeks. After the first few days, the treatment produced a discharge from the malignancy, which continued flowing until the cancer was entirely gone. Throughout this time, the patient was not confined to bed, but carried on his regular activities. Blake’s escharotics products contained a substance known as Zinc Chloride - a highly antiseptic caustic that is somewhat more readily absorbed by malignant tissue than by normal tissue, though it is often reactive with healthy as well as morbid tissue. [Blake’s Cancer Therapy:] Blake was the first of three physicians to use essentially the same therapy, which apparently was GOLDENSEAL, plus a trace of ZINC CHLORIDE.

A man of no plebeian upbringing, Fell was born to an old and distinguished American family with a long lineage of famous physicians and professional men, Fell was one of the original founders of the New York Academy of Medicine and a faculty member of the University of New York - and as cancer writer Nat Morris noted, his was "one of the most interesting (stories) in the history of cancer." 7-10 According to Morris, "... a sinister cloud enveloped his career because of his cancer practice and in the prime of his life; he immigrated to London to start anew.

auspicious circumstances for he was singularly prosperous and lived very lavishly." His departure from New York was shrouded in mystery, but it fits a recurring pattern for physicians whose cancer practices rise too far in success above their peers. Prior to leaving, Fell attempted to resign from the New York Academy of Medicine, but his resignation was refused. It appears his association with a "cancer quack," a certain Gilbert of New York City, had caused colleagues great animosity. His resignation was postponed in the hope of "pinning a charge of quackery upon him so he could be ignominiously ejected from the academy." Fell's subsequent success in London provides evidence as to the cause of his mistreatment in New York, as does the sizeable fortune, earned while servicing a grateful, sizeable base of patients in the U.S., which he took with him to England. He wrote a friend of renting a castle for $100 per week, a kingly sum at that time. In the fine tradition of Paracelsus, Fell was also a man lacking in humility. A mere guest in his new host country, he derided English surgeons for "operating and amputating without any justification whatsoever and said that limbs were cut off merely to satisfy the vanity or sadism of surgeons. He charged that practices were tolerated in England that would never be permitted in the United States and of all the physicians he had met in London, there were only two whom he would trust to treat himself or his family." 10 Remarkably, excepting these sharp comments on the surgical practices of his contemporaries, Fell remained on good terms with his fellow English practitioners, and although little is known of the final years of his life, the record shows that he never again fell into disrepute -- alleged or otherwise, professional or public -- again. Dr. Fell published a text on cancer, the content of which is the basis for his inclusion in the present work. 10b

To the best knowledge of this author (and I would be delighted to hear from anyone who would refute my assertion) Fell was the first one to publish an escharotic as it has come to be most popularly used in the West -- namely, the use of zinc chloride as the caustic of choice, along with a cancerolytic (cancer-fighting) medical herb. The use of zinc chloride as a superior, though mildly, caustic (it has a pH of 5.0), is reflective of the experimentation that took place over the preceding centuries. Caustics known to have been used, then and prior, in orthodox practice included "nitrate of silver, quicklime, sulphate of copper (sometimes used with borax), sulphuric acid (oil of vitriol) mixed with saffron, and permanganate of pottasa. Alkaline caustics such as sulphate of zinc were also in vogue." 12 Dr. Fell dismissed them all, so he must have known of their shortcomings, as did his contemporary and fellow user of escharotic preparations, Dr. John Pattison (see below). Fell's publication itself places him 20 years prior to the filing of U.S. Patent No. 209,311, and just four years after A. Hunton's 1855 treatise, "On some of the medical virtues of indigenous vegetables grown in the United States." We are also told by Hunton that the manner in which the medical secrets concerning bloodroot were obtained from an Indian doctor were less than honorable. 13 (None of which compares, of course, with the rapacious pilferage of indigenous Americans' land and most of their very lives.) 14 Even apart from Fell's open admission that the central role of bloodroot in his medical product came from native savages, 15 there is the issue of its use in American folk medicine long before that, specifically, its widespread use in Pennsylvania, documented as early as 1811. 16 Moreover, since bloodroot is native to the North American continent, its appearance in Russia infers that it may have been exported there. 17 Internal studies by the National Cancer Institute, which have themselves been suppressed, show even wider use in recent times. 18 But again, it is Fell that publicly announces the advancement of an escharotic by adding bloodroot to zinc chloride. Of greater importance is the final report which the Reference: Escharotics:500 Years of Suppression, Meditopia, by Greg Caton, http://www.meditopia.org.

board of directors of Middlesex Hospital allow him to publish concerning the results on 25 cancer patients, substantiating his claims that his treatment was far more successful than anything then available "and justified abandoning surgery for relief of cancer." 19 In their official communication, the board made the following cautious endorsements of the Fell cancer treatment: 1. It was safe and conformed to surgical principles 2. It could be employed on both operable and inoperable cancers. 3. It obviated removals of the entire breast and could be confined to enucleation of tumors only. 4. It spared patients the hazards of surgery, including hemorrhage and constitutional affections. 5. Enucleation was followed by healthy granulation and cicatrizing surface (scarring over). 20 Despite its apparent growing acceptance by the orthodox medical community in London, a sea change that should have brought about the elimination of radically invasive cancer procedures, the remedy somehow fell into disuse. Only sporadic, historical references can be found to its use, which demonstrate that conscientious physicians would discover and bring the practice back, only to see it furloughed by medical authorities.

[About Dr. Fell’s Therapy:] Dr. Fell’s treatment focused on the administration of GOLDENSEAL and BLOODROOT. Fell kept his formula secret until he was certain that it was successful. Then he invited other physicians to demonstrations and published the formula. He added a small amount of ZINC CHLORIDE to the plant powder. He used his remedy at the Middlesex Hospital for a number of years. It could be used on both operable and inoperable cancers - eliminated the need for surgery, and was followed by healthy granulation and healing. The use of zinc chloride as a superior, though mildly, caustic (it has a pH of 5.0), is reflective of the experimentation that took place over the preceding centuries. Caustics known to have been used, then and prior, in orthodox practice included "nitrate of silver, quicklime, sulphate of copper (sometimes used with borax), sulphuric acid (oil of vitriol) mixed with saffron, and permanganate of pottasa. Alkaline caustics such as sulphate of zinc were also in vogue." Dr. Fell dismissed them all, so he must have known of their shortcomings.

Life-Building with Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) Disorders Treated: anesthetic, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-fungalanti-cancer agent, useful in the treatment of skin cancer brain cancer and other, gum infections, bronchial infections, sore throats. Skin conditions bleeding lungs, venereal blisters, pneumonia, whooping cough, emphysema, migraine, body pains and joint pains, colds, fever even liver conditions (The following information is excerpted from: Bloodroot Cures, http://www.earthclinic.com/ and Bloodroot, http://www.cancersalves.com)

The infamous herb called Bloodroot is a perennial flowering plant native to North America. Native Americans and herbal practitioners have prescribed Bloodroot for myriad medical conditions from skin cancers to sore throats. It’s most persistent and possibly valid use takes advantage of the flesh destroying properties of the root juice or powered root for treating conditions of the skin such as ringworm, warts, polyps, fungal growths and the like. Bloodroot was prized for its root sap, an interesting exudate that remarkably resembles blood. The roots, usually used fresh, are made into washes, poultices, snuffs, dental powders, and escharotic salves. Bloodroot is a systemic treatment. There is no other herb that is absorbed so fast into the blood stream as bloodroot. Some people become nauseous after rubbing just a little tincture of bloodroot on the arches of their feet.

"The search for novel anticancer drugs continues. Agents that can eliminate the cancerous cells via a programmed cell death but do not affect the normal cells may have a therapeutic advantage for the elimination of cancer cells. In the present study, we provide evidence that sanguinarine is a potential antiproliferative agent that can be developed as a potential agent for skin cancer. Sanguinarine (13-methyl[ 1,3]benzodioxolo[5,6-c]-1,3dioxolo[4,5-i]phenanthridinium, which is derived from the root of Sanguinaria canadendid and other poppy fumaria species, is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid and a structural homologue of chelerythrine (Ref. 21 and the references therein). Sanguinarine has been shown to possess antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties (Ref. 21 and the references therein). A recent study has shown that sanguinarine is a potent inhibitor of the activation of nuclear transcription factor NF-κB3, which has been implicated to play a key role in the regulation of cell growth, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. The antitumor properties of this alkaloid are not well established. At present, only a few agents are known to possess the potential for selective/preferential elimination of cancer cells without affecting the normal cells (22 , 23) . This study provides the first evidence that sanguinarine, at micromolar concentrations, imparts a cell growthinhibitory response in human squamous carcinoma (A431) cells via an induction of apoptosis." (…) Nihal Ahmad, Sanjay Gupta, Mirza M. Husain, Kaisa M. Heiskanen and Hasan Mukhtar. Clinical Cancer Research Vol.6 2000 www.pnas.org/ 24

The Bottom Line: Bloodroot has already been researched and it has been determined to be a POTENT ANTICANCER AGENT. Besides the laboratory tests, tens of thousands of people have been treated by lay practitioners as well as medical doctors for at least tlast 150 years. Roughly 80% of these experienced remission of malignancy and longer life expectancies than people with similar conditions who chose different treatments. Say NO to barbaric surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, and better focus your attention to building up powerful health the natural way. The answer is a complex natural healing program which includes BLOODROOT for PREVENTION and HEALING of CANCER!

(…) "In sharp contrast, NHEKs do not show any evidence of apoptosis but undergo necrotic cell death on treatment with higher concentrations of sanguinarine. We suggest that by modulating apoptotic machinery, sanguinarine may be able to affect the steady-state cell population and thus possesses a potential for development as an agent against skin cancer and possibly against other cancer types as well. (…) Taken together, the results of this study suggest that by modulating apoptosis, sanguinarine may be able to affect the steady-state cell population and thus possesses a potential for development as an agent for cancer chemotherapy. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic study showing the cancer therapeutic potential of sanguinarine, and the induction of apoptosis in cancer cells by this alkaloid. However, determining the exact mechanism(s) of apoptosis will require a detailed exploration of genetic and signal transduction pathways. Based on the published study (21) , the involvement of the NF-κB pathway could be viewed as a mechanism of sanguinarine-mediated apoptosis in cancer cells." - Nihal Ahmad, Sanjay Gupta, Mirza M.

„Doctors treating cancer with herbs were ridiculed and called as charlatans."

(- 1850 AD) John Pattison, M.D.

John Pattison, M.D. (1830-1893) was a distinguished medical doctor and an icon in natural cancer healing.

Working Summary: Pattison was the third physician who apparently used this goldenseal formula. Books: Cancer: Its nature and successful and comparatively painless treatment without the usual operation with the knife, by Pattison, John 1866. Jonathan L. Hartwell, Plants Used Against Cancer, 1967, Alma R. Hutchens, Indian Herbology of North America,1973, Anthony J. Chichoke, D.C., Ph.D., Secrets of Native American Herbal Remedies 2001 Judith Sumner, The Natural History of Medicinal Plants 2000 (The following information is excerpted from: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA. Special Thanks to Vance Ferrel)

Dr. Pattison - originally of New York City - also moved to London. Like Fell, he used a simple herbal formula, and offered to freely teach other physicians his method. In 1866 he published a book, which discussed the treatment of over 4,000 cancer patients in 13 years. Pattison deplored surgery, and aroused the ire of physicians throughout England. He said they helped no one, but only killed people. Physicians told him to his face that they preferred to stick to their operations. In reply, he said his method was almost totally painless, and held far more promise of recovery from the dreaded cancer. With these and other sayings, Pattison, like Fell, abhorred the surgical treatment of cancer as a fraud upon the public. Pattison's work in London came BEFORE that of Fell. In 1852 Pattison offered to demonstrate his method to the directors of Middlesex Hospital and even to work without pay. His request was denied. Pattison continued working in London, where he built a successful practice that was wide and extensive. Nonetheless, Pattison was labeled as a "quack" by his medical colleagues. His name was deliberately omitted year after year in the semiofficial directory of physicians. Pattison’s work fell into unknowing.

Neither Fell nor Pattison were obsessed with the elimination of more invasive methods of cancer treatment without sound reasoning. As early as 1844, a survey was compiled by Dr. Leroy-d Etoilles and published by the French Academy of Science. To this day this report on cancer survival is probably the most extensive ever released. It was based on results supplied by 174 physicians on 2,781 cases, followed "in some instances for over thirty years." 25 The short version: patients are better off, in most cases, doing nothing at all than going with surgery. Today, despite modern improvements in techniques and equipment, "the dominance of surgery in the treatment of cancer despite these ominous observations has been maintained by studiously ignoring and suppressing adverse information by the powers that be." 26 The continued practice of unnecessary surgery for financial gain is a contributing factor in "death by doctoring" as the third leading cause of death in the U.S. -- so says a study that miraculously managed to find its way into the pages of the Journal of the American Medical Association as recently as 2000 -- though it was largely ignored by the mass media. 27 (â&#x20AC;Ś) Pattison was not singular in his approach. (No physician worth his salt is.) He indicated the role of diet, reflecting the etiological role of nutrition that was a century ahead of its time. Despite the later dating of his publication, Pattison's involvement with the very same Middlesex Hospital that brought fame to Dr. Fell is quite insightful. As it turns out, Pattison's work in London came BEFORE that of Fell. In 1852 Pattison offered to demonstrate his method to the directors of Middlesex Hospital and even to work without pay. An initial agreement was worked out where Pattison would work with twenty cases and would disclose his methods, permitting disclosure of his methods and criticism of results.

Reference: Escharotics:500 Years of Suppression, Meditopia, http://www.meditopia.org.

The directors reneged. 28 A subsequent request in 1854 was also sent begging. Pattison continued to work in London, where he built a successful practice that was wide and extensive. Nonetheless, Pattison was labeled a "cancer curer" and "quack" by his medical colleagues. His name was deliberately omitted year after year in the semiofficial directory of physicians, an act of mean-spiritedness that was only changed by an act of Parliament. In comparing the life work of Fell and Pattison, one point becomes most instructive. Their formulas and protocols were, from a functional point of view, nearly identical. So why did the medical community accept one with open arms and slander the other as a quack? This is one of many anomalies in the cancer establishment that defies logical explanation. Why did U.S. Federal authorities come after me because my Cansema, whose active principles were in the zinc chloride and chapparal, both of which appear or have appeared in approved cancer related products? Why was I made to plead to selling "an unapproved drug"? Is it because NDGA is okay if it's made in a laboratory, but not okay if it comes from chapparal, the very plant from which the discovery was made -a plant with an extensive ethnobotanical history of use for medical purposes? 53-56 You find these and so many other "non sequitors" and "profit over logic" contradictions throughout the medical industry.

Life-Building with Medicinal Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) (Following information is excerpted from: Dr.Christopher’s Herbal Legacy, History of Comfrey, http://www.herballegacy.com/ThesisHistory.html. Special Thanks to David Christopher, BA, MH, AHG)

Symphytum officinale derives its name from the Greek word symphyto meaning to unite, likely because of comfrey’s reputation for "knitting bones" together. The common name "comfrey" is believed to be a corruption of the Latin word confervere meaning "to heal." It is not known how long comfrey has been in use; Pedanius Dioscorides (40—90 AD), was a however its recorded use dates as far back as the 1st century A.D. middle age physician The Greek physician Dioscorides began prescribing comfrey tea internally for respiratory and gastrointestinal problems. The early Greeks used comfrey root externally to treat wounds believing that it helped torn flesh to grow together. The Roman naturalist Pliny "verified" this practice with his observation of boiling comfrey in water produces a sticky paste that is capable of binding chunks of meat together. The paste hardens like plaster. That may be why on ancient battlefields they would often soak a cloth in this tea and wrap it around broken bones. When the cloth dried it became an effective cast. A famous Greek physician, Galen (A.D. 130-200), mentions its healing powers in his writings as well. Greek physician Dioscorides, a well-known natural healer of his day, documented its use in his herbal and prescribed it for healing wounds, broken bones, as well as respiratory and gastrointestinal problems. Dioscorides prescribed Comfrey for its bone-knitting and wound-healing virtues.

Reference: Dr.Christopher’s Herbal Legacy, History of Comfrey, http://www.herballegacy.com/ThesisHistory.html.

Pliny the Elder author, naturalist, philosopher, naval commander

The Roman naturalist and contemporary of Dioscorides, Pliny the Elder, experimented with the roots and remarked that boiling Comfrey roots in water produced a sticky paste which glued pieces of meat together. The people of the first century A.D. made poultices of Comfrey because of this observable fact and drank it as a tea for internal ailments such as diarrhea, bleeding and stomach disorders.

Comfrey appears in monastery writings and herbals from A.D. 1000. Saxon herbariums recommended it for "internal bleedings, ruptures, hernias, for which purpose, to give one example, Comfrey leaves were heated in or over hot, near-ash embers, ground and stirred into honey, and then taken on an empty stomach." The middle Ages saw continued use of this wonderful plant. Swiss physician Paracelsus, (1493-1541 A.D.) remarked, "To what purpose do you superadde vinegar to the root of Comfrey," he asked surgeons, "or bole, or suchlike balefull additaments, while God hath compos'd this simple sufficient to cure the fracture of the bones?"

The Native America Indians have been using Comfrey

Nicholas Culpeper ( 1616 – 1654) was an English botanist, herbalist, physician, and astrologer

Henry Doubleday (1808 – 1875), a Quaker smallholder who spent the last thirty years researching into the food values of the comfrey crops.

John Parkinson, Master Herbalist and apothecary to King James I, raised Comfrey to a new level of well-deserved acceptance. His herbal, Theater of Plants, (1640) was the bible for contemporary herbalists and physicians of his day. He suggested using the herb internally as an expectorant for lung problems, in tea form to take away fevers and in syrup form for any inward hurts. For external applications, Parkinson cited his findings that the roots were great for gluing together torn flesh and broken bones; a decoction of the root was used to heal hemorrhoids; putrescent ulcers, gangrene and similar problems were also noted to be helped by Comfrey. People also used Comfrey for more than medicinal reasons-they cooked it in soups, stews and tossed it into salads; farmers cultivated it as fodder for their livestock; and one Englishman, Henry Doubleday, even used Comfrey as a substitute for the stamp glue, gum Arabic, that was difficult to obtain. He was so impressed with this plant, and moved by the suffering caused by the Irish Potato famine of the 1840's, that he established a charitable organization to research the use and cultivation of Comfrey in hopes of ending world hunger. The earlier part of the 19th century found Comfrey tea as one of the best selling herbal beverages, enjoyed for both its flavor and for its healthful benefits.

Cancer, Wounds and Comfrey (Article excerpted from: Comfrey: Wound Healer and Cancer Fighter, by Andrew W. Saul, from an old issue of Let's Live, 1958 written by H. E. Kirschner, M.D. DoctorYourself.com. Special Thanks to Andrew W. Saul) 33

Dr. Kirschner used comfrey in his medical practice to promote the healing of ulcers and wounds. He traces the history of comfrey back to 1568 and W. Turner's Herball which said "of Comfrey Symphytum, the rootes are good if they be broken and dronken for them that spitte blood, and are bursten. The same, layd to, are good to glewe together freshe woundes. They are good to be layd to inflammation..." He then cites Gerard's 1597 Herball, which indicated comfrey for ulcers of the lungs and ulcers of the kidneys, and Parkinson's 1640 Theatrum Botanicum: "The rootes of Comfrey, taken fresh, beaten small, spread upon leather, and laid upon any place troubled with the gout, doe presently give EASE OF THE PAINES and applied in the same manner, giveth ease to PAINED JOYNTS, and profiteth very much for running and MOIST ULCERS, GANGRENES, MORTIFICATIONS and the like." Most significant is a citation from Tournefort's 1719 Compleat Herbal, which tells of one who "cured a certain person of a MALIGNANT ULCER, pronounced to be a CANCER by the surgeons, and left by them as INCURABLE, by applying twice a day the root of comfrey bruised, having first peeled off the external blackish bark or rind; but the cancer was not above eight or ten weeks standing." Even allowing for a misdiagnosis, this account is interesting. Dr. Kirschner personally observed the POWERFUL ANTICANCER EFFECTS of comfrey on a patient of his who was DYING from ADVANCED, EXTERNALIZED CANCER. He prescribed fresh, crushed-leaf comfrey poultices throughout the day. He writes that, "Much to the surprise of the patient and her family," there was obvious healing within the first two days of treatment, with continued visible improvement over the next few weeks. "What is more," he writes, Reference: Comfrey: Wound Healer and Cancer Fighter, by Andrew W. Saul

"much of the DREADFUL PAIN that usually accompanies the advanced stages of CANCER DISAPPEARED," and there was a DRAMATIC DECREASE IN SWELLING. Dr. Kirschner concludes by regretfully saying that the cancer had already spread to the inner organs "which could not be reached with the comfrey poultices, and the woman died." Just in terms of quality of life, the degree of healing that did occur under the comfrey poultice treatment is of tremendous significance. Here is a "folk" remedy undeniably providing, at the very least, significant palliative relief, and to a REMARKABLE extent REVERSING A CANCEROUS GROWTH. We can ill afford to overlook the full potential of external comfrey leaf poultices to HEAL SORES AND WOUNDS OF ALL TYPES, including burns and gangrene, as well as "TUMORS BOTH BENIGN AND MALIGNANT," says Dr. Kirschner. Taken internally as decoction (boiled root tea), comfrey is described as effective against tuberculosis, internal tumors and ulcers, and promotes the healing of bone fractures. If it is hard to understand how one simple, easy to grow and easy to apply plant can be so widely useful in healing, remember that penicillinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters have made some pretty broad claims for the mold on oranges. Dr. Kirschner describes in his article how to prepare comfrey leaves and roots for home use. The leaves are for external use, and the root for internal use. Anyone can grow comfrey in their garden for use when needed. In fact, just try to stop it: it takes no work whatsoever to grow this virtually indestructible perennial. As a young man, I decided to plant a lot of comfrey all over my yard. That took about 15 minutes. It grew so vibrantly that I eventually decided to eradicate comfrey from lawn and garden. It took twenty years to root it all out. Well, most of it. There is still that patch over there on the side. . .

Reference: Comfrey: Wound Healer and Cancer Fighter, by Andrew W. Saul

To use the leaves, one simply picks them, crushes them into a nice emerald green paste, and applies topically. Although COMFREY LEAF TEA or dried leaves are often to be inexpensively purchased at herb and health food stores, there is a need to mention Dr. Kirschner's constant reference to using fresh cut leaves only, right from one's garden. Roots can be prepared as described in Poffer's Cyclopedia of Botanical Drugs (Fifth Edition) "by boiling one-half to one ounce of crushed root in one quart water. Dose, a wineglassful." Boiling the root results in a DECOCTION. This is different, and much more effective, than simply steeping in hot water. FRESH ROOT IS ALMOST CERTAINLY BEST, but I expect that dried root retains some therapeutic value. I thoroughly brush and wash the root under tap water before slicing it up. Then I place the chunks in two or three cups of water in a glass or stainless steel pan. Bring it to a boil, continue boiling for a few minutes, and let sit until it is cool enough to drink. Caution: There are potentially harmful side-effects if comfrey leaves are eaten in appreciable quantity. This, to me, also means that comfrey leaf tea is contraindicated. Herbs may be the most natural of medicines, but they are still medicines. To be comfy with comfrey, consult your doctor, and a reliable herbal textbook (such as John B. Lustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Herb Book, NY: Bantam, 1974), and do an internet search before employing this, or any herbal remedy. Having done so, it is important to meet potential physician objections with a clear, shared understanding of the "COMFREY RULE": fresh leaves externally; boiled root decoction internally.

Life-Building with Infusion and Decoction (Following information is excerpted from: What is the difference between a decoction and an infusion? Special Thanks to: http://www.healthfreedom.info/. Special Thanks to Eric L. Frei) 157

Infusions: Most people are familiar with an infusion which is what people do when they put a tea bag or tea ball in a cup of hot water and allow it to steep a couple minutes before drinking. Infusions are used to extract vitamins and volatile ingredients from soft ingredients like leaves, flowers, citrus peelings, etc. Green tea, black tea, peppermint tea and chamomile tea are examples of an infusion. The short brewing time helps to retain the volatile ingredients while drinking.

Decoctions: A decoction is used to extract primarily the mineral salts and bitter principles of plants from hard materials such as roots, bark, seeds and wood. These hard materials generally require boiling for at least 10 minutes and then are allowed to steep for a number of hours. The tea is boiled down and concentrated so that water needs to be added before drinking. The word "decoct" means to concentrate by boiling.

Dry herbs lose their potency within a year. Fresh herbs rot soon after harvest. Tinctures preserve and extract the medicinal properties of an herb in an alcoholic extract. Tinctures may last more than a hundred years. Stuff for making: Blender 100 proof alcohol (vodka works well) Glass mason jar with organic dried or fresh herbs

Stuff for straining: Wooden spoon Fine kitchen strainer or cheesecloth Bottle to put the finished tincture in

NOTE: Make on the new moon; strain on the full moon. Shake tincture at least once a week. It's really easy: Put herbs in blender. Add 100 proof alcohol to cover Âź inch over the herbs. Blend well to a soupy consistency and pour into a glass jar. Screw on lid. Let herbs settle for a day to see how much liquid is on top. I use 3/4 herbs to 1/4 liquid.

It will come as a surprise that the use of the plant, comfrey, as a cancer-eliminating agent, dates back to 1896. In that year, the British medical journal, Lancet published a report on a patient suffering from a PERSISTENT TUMOR. That kept reappearing on his face and nose, requiring several operations in succession. Seeing that the medical help was useless, the man went home and started treating himself. He applied poultices of fresh comfrey root to remove the growth. It eventually DISAPPEARED, much to the astonishment of the physicians who knew his case well.

The root boiled in water or wine and the decoction drank, heals inward hurts, bruises, wounds and ulcers of the lungs, and causes the phlegm that oppresses him to be easily spit forth.... A syrup made there of is very effectual in inward hurts, and the distilled water for the same purpose also, and for outward wounds or sores in the fleshy or sinewy parts of the body, and to abate the fits of agues and to allay the sharpness of humours. A decoction of the leaves is good for those purposes, but not so effectual as the roots. The roots being outwardly applied cure fresh wounds or cuts immediately, being bruised and laid thereto; and is specially good for ruptures and broken bones, so powerful to consolidate and knit together that if they be boiled with dissevered pieces of flesh in a pot, it will join them together again."

Hills discovered that this common plant was introduced in the nineteenth century by Henry Doubleday was so intrigued by its possibilities that he devoted the rest of his life to popularizing it. Hills took up this crusade, finally naming his fledgling society in Doubleday's memory. Hills suffered from celiac disease, which left him in a wheelchair until introduced to a WHEATFREE DIET by Hilda Cherry Hills (d. 1989), a fellow author and noted nutritionist who became his wife. In his 1976 book Lawrence Hills recounts the story, and tells of many others who, in the years since, have ELIMINATED SKIN CANCER through the use of strong mucilaginous infusions made from the powdered comfrey root.

Nicholas Culpepper also considered it beneficial in the treatment of hemorrhoids and said: "The roots of Comfrey taken fresh, beaten small and spread upon leather and laid upon any place troubled with the gout presently gives ease and applied in the same manner it eases pained joints and tends to heal running ulcers, gangrenes, mortifications, for which it hath by often experience been found helpful. More recently, a retired Air Force colonel, living in Utah, completely eliminated his lip, cheek, and jawbone cancer by totally swearing off tobacco and eating large quantities of the fresh leaves in green drink, soup, and salad, along with some of the root, mixed into pudding and herb custard. He did this for about 17 weeks. But he also did more: During this time he greatly improved his diet. After recovering from the cancer, he continued eating comfrey." - Comfrey, Botanical.com, A Modern Herbal by Mrs. Grieve, Botanical.com, 34

Dr. Kirschner used comfrey in his medical practice to PROMOTE THE HEALING OF ULCERS AND WOUNDS. Throughout his practice, he personally observed the powerful anticancer effects of comfrey on a patient of his who was DYING from advanced, externalized cancer. He prescribed fresh, crushed-leaf comfrey poultices throughout the day. He writes that, "Much to the surprise of the patient and her family," there was obvious healing within the first two days of treatment, with continued visible improvement over the next few weeks. "What is more," he writes, "much of the dreadful pain that usually accompanies

For thousands of years, comfrey poultices have been made for external wounds, bruises, burns, insect bites, sprains, eczema, psoriasis, bed sores, and even athlete’s foot. Some say the healing effect can be several times faster than being left alone, or than even some medications available today. "Dr. William Turner (1508 –1568) Dr. William Turner studied medicine in Italy, and was a friend of the great Swiss naturalist, Conrad Gessner. He was an English divine, a physician and a natural historian. He was an early herbalist and ornithologist, and it is in these fields that the most interest lies today. William Turner is known as the ‘Father of English Botany’. He was the very first person to record, in English, the names and medicinal uses of plants in his three-part Herbal. Before Turner, the names and uses of plants were only published in Latin, denying access to most people, and preserving the knowledge for educated Doctors and Priests."

the advanced stages of cancer disappeared," and there was a dramatic decrease in swelling. Comfrey is very rich in chlorophyll ("green magic"), one reason why Dr. Kirschner used it in his green drink. After all, the only difference between chlorophyll and our blood is that our blood molecule is built around an iron atom and the chlorophyll molecule is built around a magnesium atom. Taken internally as decoction (boiled root tea), comfrey is described as effective against tuberculosis, internal tumors and ulcers, and promotes the healing of bone fractures. If it is hard to understand how one simple, easy to grow and easy to apply plant can be so widely useful in healing, remember that penicillinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters have made some pretty broad claims for the mold on oranges. Using comfrey internally had came to a crashing halt in 1978 when scientific studies found that rats fed a diet with comfrey leaves and roots developed liver tumors after about six months. Studies since then have been contradictive to this initial testing (not to mention thousands of years of documented use).

In 1840 Illinois horse farmer John Hoxsey found his prize stallion with a malignant tumor on its right hock. As a Quaker, he couldn't bear shooting the animal, so he put it out to pasture to die peacefully. Three weeks later, he noticed the TUMOR STABILIZING, and observed the animal browsing knee-deep in a corner of

"I was asked to narrate this film because the film makers knew that my wife has died on cancer and I have dealt in a deeply and personal way with the dillema the film addresses. Chosing a therapy for her was confusing paralysing anguishing, sometimes rageing. On the one hand the doctors held a little hope that they would have a cure for her. On the other hand they where resistant into the many alternative approaches. They seem to have a definite and sincere point of view, and yet they seemed to know so little about these other therapies. I had to wonder if the cancer cure where discovered outside of formal medical institutions would these doctors ever know about it? Who it ever reached the general public? Ofcourse it would you might say, but… consider this. There are scores of alternative cancer clinics around the world, claiming high success rates. Yet most of these treatments have been banned in the United States, or driven out of the country. Without an investigation. Why? The discedent practitioner say, that it has to do with medical politics, that their medical point of view has been suppressed. There is a disturbingly similar pattern that runs through the most of their stories. To get to the heart of the dillema we have chosen to look in depth into one of these alternative clinics, because the story of Hoxsey cancer treatment is a classic case history of these medical politics.Many patients believe that Hoxsey treatment cures cancer (…)."

the pasture with a profusion of weeds, eating plants not part of its normal diet. Within three months the tumor dried up and began to separate from the healthy tissue. The farmer retreated to the barn, where he began to experiment with these herbs revealed to him by "horse sense." He devised three formulas: an internal tonic, an herbal-mineral red paste, and a mineral-based yellow powder for external use. Within a year the horse was well, and the veterinarian became locally famous for treating animals with cancer. The farmer's grandson John C. Hoxsey, a veterinarian in southern Illinois, was the first to try the remedies on people, and claimed positive results. His son Harry showed an early interest and began working with him at the age of eight. When John suffered an untimely accident, he bequeathed the formulas to the fifteen-yearold boy with a charge to treat poor people for free, and to minister to all races, creeds, and religions without prejudice. He asked that the treatment carry the Hoxsey name. Finally, he warned the boy against the "High Priests of Medicine" who would fight him toothand-nail because he was taking money out of their pockets.

BLACKBALLED after secretly treating several terminal patients who pled for their lives. With a local banker backing him, he founded the first Hoxsey Cancer Clinic in 1924, championed by the chamber of commerce and high school marching bands on Main Street. As early word of his reputed successes spread, Hoxsey was invited to nearby Chicago, headquarters of the newly powerful AMA, to demonstrate the treatment. Grisly and indisputable photographic proof of the terminal case Hoxsey treated verifies that the patient recovered, living on for twelve years, cancer-free. Hoxsey then claimed that a high AMA official offered him a contract for the rights to the formulas. The alleged agreement assigned the property rights to a consortium of doctors including Dr. Morris Fishbein, the AMA chief and editor of the JAMA. Hoxsey himself would be required to cease any further practice, to be awarded a small percentage of profits after ten years if the treatment panned out. Invoking his Quaker father's deathbed charge that poor people be treated for free and that the treatment carry the family name, Hoxsey said the official THREATENED to hound him out of business unless he acquiesced. Whatever may have happened, that's when THE BATTLE started. The AMA first denied the entire incident, and then later acknowledged the patient's Reference: Kenny Ausubel, author of When Healing Becomes a Crime: The Amazing Story of the Hoxsey Cancer Clinics and the Return of Alternative Therapies

remission, though crediting it to prior treatments by surgery and radiation. Yet one thing was certain: Hoxsey had made a very powerful enemy. By crossing swords with Fishbein, he alienated the most powerful figure in medicine. The AMA promptly dubbed him the worst cancer quack of the century, and he would be arrested more times than any other person in medical history. Hoxsey quickly found himself opposing Fishbein's emerging medical-corporate complex. As late as 1900, medicine was therapeutically pluralistic and financially unprofitable. Doctors had the highest suicide rate of any profession owing to their extreme poverty and low social standing. Fishbein's AMA would engineer an industrialized medical monoculture. What radically tipped the balance of power was an arranged marriage between big business and organized medicine. Under Fishbein's direction, the AMA sailed into a golden harbor of prosperity fueled by surgery, radiation, drugs, and a sprawling high-tech hospital system. The corporatization of medicine throttled diversity. The code word for competition was QUACKERY. It was easy for the medical profession to paint Hoxsey as a quack: he fit the image perfectly.

Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the AMA, wrote this about Hoxsey: "All the other wicked medical fakes, firing hope and darkening it to despair, pale beside the savagery of the cancer charlatans. They look like men, they speak like men, but in them, pervading them, resides a quality so malevolent that it sets them apart from others of the human race . .

arrived straight from central casting as the stereotype of the snake-oil salesman. When the AMA coerced the pathologist who performed Hoxsey's biopsies to cease and desist, Hoxsey could no longer verify the validity of his reputed successes. Organized medicine quickly adopted the stance that his alleged "cures" fell into three categories: those who never had cancer in the first place; those who were cured by prior radiation and surgery; and those who died. In exasperation, Hoxsey attempted an end run by approaching the National Cancer Institute. In close collaboration with the AMA, the federal agency refused his application for a test because his medical records did not include all the biopsies. Meanwhile Hoxsey struck oil in Texas and used his riches to promote his burgeoning clinic and finance his court battles. Piqued at Hoxsey's rise, Fishbein struck back in the public media, penning an inflammatory article in the Hearst Sunday papers entitled "Blood Money," in a classic example of purple prose and yellow journalism. Outraged, Hoxsey sued Fishbein. In two consecutive trials, Hoxsey beat Fishbein, standing as the first person labeled a "quack" to defeat the AMA in court. During the trials, Hoxsey's lawyers revealed that Fishbein had failed anatomy in medical school, never completed his internship, and never practiced a day of medicine in his entire career.

Over the years, some of therich and powerful people that Hoxsey helped — helped him in return. In later years, Dr. Andrew C.

By now Fishbein was mired in multiple scandals, including his effective but unpopular obstruction of national health insurance at a time when doctors had become the richest professionals in the country and the Journal the most profitable publication in the world. Drug ads powered JAMA, but its biggest single advertiser in the 1940s was Phillip Morris. (Camel cigarettes had the largest booth at the AMA's 1948 convention, boasting in its ads that "More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette.") Enmeshed in controversy, Fishbein's stock was trading low, and, shortly after his first loss to Hoxsey, the AMA chief was deposed in a humiliating spectacle. But ironically Hoxsey's stunning dark-horse victory against the "most terrifying trade organization on Earth" only ended up bringing the house down. He immediately faced a decade-long "quackdown" by the FDA. By the 1950s, Hoxsey was riding what was arguably THE LARGEST ALTERNATIVEMEDICINE MOVEMENT in American history. A survey by the Chicago Medical Society showed 85 percent of people still using "drugless healers."

states. Congressmen, judges, and even some doctors ardently supported his quest for an investigation. Two federal courts upheld the therapeutic value of the treatment. Even his archenemies, the American Medical Association and the Food and Drug Administration, admitted that the therapy does CURE certain forms of cancer. JAMA itself had published the research of a respected physician who got results superior to surgery using a red paste identical to Hoxsey's for skin cancers including lethal melanoma, a skin cancer that also spreads internally. Medical authorities escalated their quackdown in the McCarthyite wake of the 1950s. On the heels of a California law criminalizing all cancer treatments except surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, the federal government finally outlawed Hoxsey entirely in the United States in 1960 on questionable technicalities. Chief nurse Mildred Nelson took the clinic to Tijuana in 1963, abandoning any hope of operating in the United States. It was the first alternative clinic to set up shop south of the border. Mildred quietly treated another 30,000 patients there until her death in 1999. Like Hoxsey, she claimed a high success rate, but her contention is unverifiable since the treatment has yet to be rigorously tested. Hoxsey never claimed a panacea or cure-all. He maintained that the Dallas doctors used his clinic as a "DUMPING GROUND" for hopeless cases, and that the great majority of patients he got were terminal, having already had the limit of surgery and radiation. He said he cured about 25 percent of those. Of virgin cases with no prior treatment, he claimed an 80 PERCENT SUCCESS RATE. Seventy-five years after Hoxsey began, why do we still not know the validity of his claims?

Fruits: The diet component of Hoxsey Therapy relies on eating foods that offer an abundance of nutrients and cancer-fighting properties. These include grapefruits, oranges and lemons, which contain monoterpenes. Monoterpenes flush cancer cells from the body. Oranges and lemons also contain limonene. Limonene promotes the growth of cancer-killing cells. Red grapes have bioflavonoids. These bioflavonoids are strong antioxidants that prevent the growth of cancer cells. Papayas contain vitamin C and folic acid. Vitamin C is known to have antioxidant properties while folic acid minimizes the risk of certain cancers, according to the The National Cancer Institute. Raspberries and figs offer a variety of vitamins and minerals. Raspberries are high in antioxidants and other plant components that offer cancer fighting properties. Vegetables: The effectiveness of Hoxsey Therapy relies on the body's ability to use the nutrients it receives. Fresh vegetables offer a wide variety of vitamins and minerals that strengthen and support the immune system. Carrots and sweet potatoes are high in beta carotene and other nutrients that offer cancer-fighting benefits. Jalapenos and chili peppers contain capsaicin. Capsaicin lessens the risk of cancer caused by nitrosamines, according to the National Cancer Institute.

cancer. They are also full of vitamins and minerals that the immune system needs to remain healthy and fight off various illnesses. Shiitake, reishi and maitake mushrooms are also thought to aid in the fight against cancer. Mushrooms contain polysaccharides that help strengthen the body's immune system. Grains: Whole grains contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, as well as large amounts of fiber, all of which are recommended for optimal success of the Hoxsey Therapy. Flax is a grain that contain omega-3 fatty acids, in addition to vitamin E and selenium. Flax also contains lignans. Lignans act like antioxidants and may be able to suppress changes in cancer cells. The Hoxsey Treatment depends on the antioxidant capabilities that grains have to offer. Tapioca comes from the cassava plant. It is high in the vitamin B17, which is thought to be a strong cancer-fighting vitamin. Diet Restrictions: There are specific foods that the Hoxsey Therapy discourages. Tomatoes, vinegar, pickles, pork and salt should be avoided. Additives and preservatives should also be avoided. Highly processed foods that contain bleached flour and sugar are also on the donot-eat list. Alcohol and carbonated beverages are full of empty calories and offer little nutritive value. These should also be avoided, according to the American Cancer Society. The Treatment: A Hoxsey treatment is designed specifically for each individual. Components vary according to patient and the clinic administering the treatment. External preparations are applied directly to the surface of the tumor or lesion. They can contain sulfur, blood root, zinc chloride and antimony trisulfide and may be slightly caustic. The herbal elixir that is taken internally as part of Hoxsey Therapy can include red clover, cascara, potassium iodide, burdock root, prickly ash bark and licorice. It is believed that the internal elixir, the external paste and the addition of cancer fighting foods to the diet, strengthens the body and its immune system so that it can rid itself of cancer.

It was found to be effective in the treatment of goiter (swelling of the thyroid gland), and in 1924 the United States initiated its use as an additive to common table salt to address the high incidence of iodine deficiency. As a result, the once-common condition of goiter in the U.S. was virtually eliminated (…).

It has been reported that dietary restriction and chemical blockade of iodine causes histopathologic changes in peripubertal female rat breasts. This study extended the age range to include midreproductive life and perimenopausal rats; there is a wider spectrum of structural alterations that are associated with the older breast, with sodium perchlorate as the blocking agent. In 16-week-old rats, breasts showed general increased parenchymal activity and growth, regressing after removal of the block. In 42week-old rats, breasts showed noticeable calcospherite deposition, intralobular fibrosis, and cystic changes resembling human fibrocystic disease. In 52-week-old rats, breasts exhibited atypical lobules cytologically, papillomatosis, sclerosing adenosis, calcifications, and a lobular transformation of a histologically dysplastic type.

Iodine's Role in the Body: Principally known for its job in proper metabolism and thyroid function, iodine is also necessary for a healthy immune system and has many therapeutic benefits including antibacterial, antiparasitic, antiviral and anticancer properties. The thyroid is the body's main storage site for iodine. The mineral is also concentrated in the glandular system, including the body's sweat glands. The ovaries, breasts, prostate and the brain contain high concentrations of iodine, and virtually every cell in the body is dependent on this important element. When a deficiency exists, the thyroid competes with other storage sites and all become depleted. An unmet deficit puts one at risk for a variety of conditions and illnesses, including cancer. Iodine is also essential for children's growth and development, and a deficiency in pregnant women is the primary cause of preventable mental retardation and brain damage, as disclosed by the World Health Organization (â&#x20AC;Ś). Iodine As An Anti-Cancer Nutrient: The natural life cycle of normal cells includes growth, division and ultimate death. Apoptosis is a necessary and natural process that refers to the programmed death of our body's cells. The spent cells are continually replaced by new cells as the normal cycle perpetuates. Apoptosis keeps cell division in check to ensure their normal life cycle and eventual death; however, abnormal cancer cells do not undergo this process and their uncontrolled growth eventually overwhelms and damages the body. The research and clinical experience of Brownstein and his colleagues maintains that iodine is an anticancer nutrient that promotes apoptosis when taken in doses far exceeding the RDA, and that chronic deficiencies and the body's inability to properly utilize iodine set the stage for cancers of hormone-sensitive tissues and glands, such as the breasts, ovaries, uterus and prostate (â&#x20AC;Ś).

Used for Centuries in China, India and Europe. Burdock Root is one of the foremost detoxifying herbs in both western and Chinese herbal medicine. It has been used for centuries. It is used to treat conditions caused by an overload of toxins such as throat and other infections, boils, abscesses, eczema and other skin disorders. A diuretic, it is used for gout and for arthritic swelling and deposits within the joints. Burdock root is also used as a blood cleanser and to help rid the body of waste products and for helping rid the body of heavy metals. Burdock is rarely used on its own in remedies. It is usually mixed 91

Burdock root has shown antitumor effects in animal studies. The NCI says inulin stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli which protect the body from toxins and carcinogens that cause cancer. According to the MSKCC burdock also appears to have antimutagenic properties. Antimutagens prevent genetic damage and cell mutations that contribute to cancer. Burdock has also exhibited anti-tumor effect in animal studies; Source: Uses of Burdock Root in Nutrition, By Bethany Fong, R.D. LiveStrong.com 47 Experiments on burdock have shown it to lower blood sugar, and destroy fungal and bacteria cultures. Japanese researchers at Nagoya University found in burdock (aka Gobo root in Japan) a new type of desmutagen, a substance that is uniquely capable of reducing cell mutation in either the absence or the presence of metabolic activation. This new property is so important, the Japanese scientists named it the B-factor for "burdock factor." In general, it is claimed burdock will help restore the body to a state of integration and health. http://www.hoxseyherb.com/, Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alternatives.com 48

with other herbs, to balance its strong cleansing action. The burdock root is comprised mainly of carbohydrates, largely INULIN (not insulin), mucilage, starches and some sugar. Inulin is the principle active ingredient in burdock root and it has been shown to have remarkable curative powers in lab studies. Inulin helps strengthen the organs, especially the liver, and its natural sugars help to regulate blood sugar metabolism. Some diabetics claim that they have been able to eliminate the need for taking insulin. It is believed that Inulin in burdock root plays an important role in helping to clear up diabetic conditions because of its ability to regulate sugar metabolism. Inulin is also regarded as a powerful immune system regulator, and when teamed up with Echinacea it is a powerful immune system booster. Inulin is thought to attach itself to the surface of white blood cells and make them work better. It is even thought that Inulin can activate T-Cells in the attack against cancer cells. In animal studies, burdock root extracts have been shown to destroy bacteria and fungus cultures, as well as showing strong anti-tumor activity.

This herb has been used for centuries. A bitter, stimulating, and sedative and detoxifying herb, that is effective against disease-causing organisms, is a liver stimulant and a digestive tonic. Believed to be an excellent remedy for correcting liver function and promoting the flow of bile. Indicated for inflammation of the gall bladder, gall stones and jaundice (when due to a congested state of the liver). As a bitter tonic with mild laxative effects, it is believed to strengthen and cleanse the system. Also said to be effective in reducing an enlarged spleen.

Abstract Objective(s): The effect of Berberis vulgaris aqueous extract in hepatocarcinogenic rats was studied to investigate the apoptotic and sodium, potassium elements properties. A loss of both intracellular potassium and sodium occurs when apoptotic cells shrink and prior to the loss of membrane integrity. Results: Microscopic observations of the TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells revealed a significant difference (P<0.05) between cancer control (C) and normal control (NC) group. The results indicated that increasing concentration of Berberis vulgaris aqueous extract in cancerous treated groups (C25. C50 and C100) showed an increasing considerabl changes (P<0.05) of TUNEL-positive cells compared with the cancer control group (C). Sodium and chloride levels were significantly different (P<0.05) in cancer control group (C) compared to normal control group (NC). The results suggested that apoptotic cells level was increased Conclusion: The Berberis vulgaris extract shows to play a prominent role in promoting apoptosis on the treatment and it is dose dependent.

Cascara is a mild but EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE colon cleanser and laxative that acts principally on the large intestine. The bark is rich in hormone-like oils that promote peristaltic action (contractions) in the intestinal canal and is considered EXCELLENT for cleansing and detoxifying programs, and is also considered suitable use by delicate and elderly persons. Furthermore, Cascara is said to improve the tone of the bowels and colon, helping the system to operate normally and naturally. The basis of the herb's efficacy is thought to be the presence of anthraquinones - either free (i.e., aloe-emodin) that remain in the intestines and irritate the intestinal wall to stimulate elimination - or as sugar derivatives (glycosides), which are absorbed into the Reference: Cascara Sagrada, Herbal Extracts Plus.

Anticancer effect of aloe-emodin on cervical cancer cells involves G2/M arrest and induction of differentiation. "AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aloe-emodin, a natural compound from the root and rhizome of Rheum palmatum, on the growth of human cervical cancer cells, HeLa. METHODS: HeLa cells were treated with various concentrations of aloeemodin for 1-5 d, and cell growth was measured by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay. The long-term growth effect was investigated by crystal violet assay. The distributions of the cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was analyzed by a chemical analyzer. Finally, Western blotting was used to indicate the abundant changes of protein kinase C (PKC), c-myc, cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK), and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). RESULTS: Aloe-emodin inhibited the growth of HeLa cells in a dosedependent manner at concentrations ranging between 2.5 and 40 micromol/L. The flow cytometric analysis showed that HeLa cells were arrested at the G2/M phase. This effect was associated with the decrease in cyclin A and CDK2, and the increase in cyclin B1 and CDK1. More importantly, the ALP activity was found to be increased by aloe-emodin treatment, and accompanied by the inhibition of PCNA expression. In addition, aloeemodin suppressed the expression of PKCalpha and c-myc." - Guo JM, Xiao BX et al. Ningbo University School of Medicine, Ningbo 315211, China. NCBI, Pubmed.gov 53

intestines and bloodstream and go on to stimulate the nerve center in the lower part of the intestine. Cascara is helpful in treating colon disorders, such as chronic hardening of the stool, diverticulosis, constipation, hemorrhoids and intestinal parasitic infestation. Cascara Segrada is believed to be beneficial for treating liver disorders, such as jaundice, etc. The herb is also thought to help a sluggish gallbladder by increasing the flow of bile and has been said to help the body rid itself of gallstones. As a fine stomachic and digestive aid, Cascara is considered a tonic and bitter that helps stimulate the production of gastric juices, which in turn, speeds up the digestive process and helps promote good digestion. The herb is also said to pep up the appetite. Some preliminary research has indicated that Cascara Segrada might be useful as an antiviral that could be effective against herpes simplex virus II and vaccinia virus. "(…) Cascara Segrada may also help to support cancer treatment, either by enhancing chemotherapy or by the herb's own anticancer actions," says the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

The Molecular Effects of AloeEmodin (AE)/Liposome-AE on Human Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer Cells and Skin Permeation "In this study, aloe-emodin (AE) was less cytotoxic to human noncancerous skin cells (premalignant keratinocytic HaCaT and fibroblast Hs68) than to nonmelanoma cancer cells (epidermoid carcinoma A431 and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma SCC25). Notably, AE induced apoptosis by upregulating tumor necrosis factor-α and Fas ligand and their cognate receptors, downstream adaptor TNF-R1associated death domain and Fasassociated death domain, and activated caspase-8 in A431 and SCC25 cells. Moreover, AE up-regulated p53, increased intracellular reactive oxygen species levels, depleted intracellularreduced GSH, up-regulated cytochrome c and Bax, down-regulated Bcl-2, and activated caspase-9 and -3. The combinatory use of AE and 5fluorouracil (5-Fu) achieved significantly more cell death in A431 and SCC25 cells than only the use of AE or 5-Fu, likely via regulation of caspase-8, -9, and -3 expressions. Incorporating AE into the liposomal formulation accelerated cell death of A431 and SCC25 cells within a short time. Furthermore, skin permeation profiles of drug suggest that the liposomal formulation enhances transdermal delivery of AE. Experimental data demonstrate the feasibility of applying liposome to deliver AE in clinical therapy." - Tzung-Han Chou and Chia-Hua Liang* Department of Cosmetic Science, Chia Nan University of Pharmacy and Science, Taiwan.

Used by Greek, Egyptians, Chinese and other Asian nations for more than 5000 years. In China, licorice root has been called "The Great Detoxifier." It acts on the endocrine system and the liver as an anti-hepatotoxic. Also as an expectorant and anti-inflammatory it may be useful in coughs and bronchitis. Licorice root stimulates the production of interferon - that critical chemical in the functioning of the immune system. 97

"Both treatments inhibited the production of prostaglandin E2 (an inflammatory molecule produced by the COX-2 enzyme) and prevented the development of polyps (adenomas) and tumor growth and metastasis. Because 11βHSD2 is highly expressed only in kidney and colon, blocking the enzyme produces effects specific to those tissues - unlike NSAIDs, selective COX-2 inhibitors, and steroid treatments that can prevent cancer progression but also cause serious side effects like gastrointestinal irritation, cardiovascular events, and immunosuppression, respectively. Licorice, Harris noted, has been used as a nutraceutical for thousands of years for ailments ranging from coughs to constipation. But even licorice is not without side effects; long-term consumption can lead to low blood potassium and increases in blood pressure - side effects linked to the inhibition of 11βHSD2. "These are relatively minor compared to the cardiovascular side effects of COX-2 inhibitors," Harris said. "We didn't see (these side effects) in the mice we treated…but it would be something to be aware of, and something that could easily be treated with a diuretic." Harris and colleagues are continuing to investigate the mechanism of 11βHSD2 inhibition. Zhang, an assistant professor of Medicine and of Cancer Biology, also plans to look at the enzyme's role in lung cancer and other tumors."

Used for centuries. Phytolacca is undoubtedly an EXCELLENT alterative stimulating metabolism and also acts as a DETOXIFICATION AGENT. As an alterative it is used in chronic rheumatism and regular conjunctivitis. Used as an ointment it is used in psoriasis, tineacapitiss, favus, and sycosis, and other skin diseases. Specifically, Poke root is indicated in the treatment of the lymphatic system. Supporting this system is basic in most anti-cancer treatments as well as cleansing programs for a whole range of health problems. As an alterative, Poke root plays a role in helping to maintain the healthy functioning of the lymphatic system. It is especially indicated in mastitis, where it can be used internally and as a poultice. It is also an indicated remedy in the treatment of adenitis.

"Poke root (Phytolacca americana) is an American perennial shrub which grows in damp woodlands, hedges, and waste places, especially in the South. The primary chemical constituents of poke root include triterpenoid saponins, alkaloids, phytolaccic acid, formic acid, lectins, tannin, antiviral protein (PAP), fatty oil, resin, and sugars. Although poke root has been broadly used as an alterative to restore the proper function of the body, and increase health and vitality by American Indians, there is very limited information on its properties against cancer. Therefore, this study was carried out to ascertain anticarcinogenic effects of poke root on breast cancer cells. Poke roots were freeze-dried and powdered. The powdered materials were extracted three times with methanol/water mixture and/or water. The extracts were administered at concentrations of 0 to 1 mg/mL into human breast (ATCC ZR-75-30) cell cultures maintained in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% FBS and cultured in the presence of a serial dilution of crude extracts for 24, 48, and 72 h. The antiproliferative activity of crude extracts from poke root on cancer cells was measured using MTT assay.

Poke root has been indicated as a remedy in the treatment of cancer, with a success in alleviating certain forms. It has been used successfully when applied externally in cases of uterine cancer. It has also been stated to be of undoubted value as an internal remedy in cancer of the breast. It is obvious that a great deal of success may be claimed but the actual documented proof seems to be low. Poke root has on lymphocytes that its beneficial role in cancer is a legitimate one. It may be surmised as well that a number of other opportunistic infections and diseases, such as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) may also be beneficially treated with Poke root as one of the therapeutic agents. In lymphatic disorders, Poke root is often used in conjunction with Cleavers or Blue Flag. Phytolacca is used homeopathically when the general symptoms of aching, soreness, restlessness, and prostration are present. It is pre-eminently a glandular remedy when glandular swellings are present with heat and inflammation. It has a powerful effect on Fibrous and Osseous tissues; fasciae and muscle sheets. It is also reported to act beneficially on scar tissue. Main constituents include triterpenoid saponins, alkaloid, resins, phytolacic acid, tannin, formic acid, fatty oil and sugar.

"A POTENT anti-cancer agent had been discovered in an extract from RED CLOVER and had the potential to destroy breast and bowel cancer cells and leukemia, pharmaceutical developer Novogen said yesterday. The active anticancer ingredient, a derivative of the genistein, one of four isoflavones, was also produced in the human liver, but Novogen would produce an anti-cancer drug from its patented strain of red clover, which is the richest source of isoflavones. Executive Chairman Graham Kelly said patents had already been submitted in the United States to protect Novogen's compound discovery and its anti-cancer applications. Trials on the new compound would start in the first quarter next year. Dr. Kelly said genistein was known as a moderate anticancer agent, but the active ingredient discovered in genstein was much more powerful. "We've just discovered what we think is the active principle. We've found one of them has an anti-cancer agent which is about 10 times more potent than genistein" he said. In a separate development, Novogen's managing director Christopher Naughton told the Securities Institute of Australia yesterday the company was considering listing on the New York Stock Exchange's NASDAQ index to take advantage of U.S. investors. "We are an Australian company and we intend to remain so," he told an institute meeting. "But if we were to list in the U.S. and of course the imperative to do so is not immediate, it would be to recognize the value of the stage we are at for all shareholders(â&#x20AC;Ś)."

Red clover is a source of many valuable nutrients including calcium, chromium, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, thiamine, and vitamin C. Red clover is also considered to be one of the richest sources of ISOFLAVONES (…). Red clover may also block enzymes thought to contribute to prostate cancer in men. It has shown a definite limiting effect, however, in the development of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), which is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. An enlarged prostate may cause men to experience a weak or interrupted urine stream, dribbling after urinating, or the urge to urinate even after voiding. For most men, BPH is a normal part of aging (…). Red clover may also help the arteries remain strong and flexible (a quality often called 'arterial compliance'), which may also help to prevent some of the plaque deposits that may lead to a heart attack or a stroke.

(…) There were three ways to destroy cancer, said Dr. Kelly, with the traditional method involving the use of poisons, such as chemotherapy, but this also destroyed normal cells. However, isoflavones caused the selfdestruction of cancer cells. Known as apoptosis, this only selected cancer cells. Isoflavones caused cells to differentiate, converting the cancer cells into mature cells that eventually underwent apoptosis. What

these isoflavones have been shown to do is to cause apoptosis and differentiation and that's been well published in the scientific journals" Dr. Kelly said.

Many refer to Chaparral as "Nature's Detergent" due to the foamy residue produced from the saponins when the leaves are shaken in water. It is known as a "cure-all" having medicinal properties that assist in the overall well-being of the body and in the healing of a variety of maladies. Chaparral boosts the immune system and helps keep the body in an alkaline state that allows it to naturally fight against infection, microbic invaders and many forms of dis-ease. Currently, chaparral is banned in the United States as the authorities say it has toxic effects on the liver. This, in my view, is quite 102

"Pharmaceutical drugs are killing hundreds of thousands of people every year…In spite of that, they claim that two people were hurt with chaparral, so they have taken it off the market. And these claims aren’t even substantiated." ..."classic and traditional blood and lymph cleansing tonics and the ones that I used successfully for many years in my clinic" - Dr Richard Shulze "The herb chaparral is a powerful cell proliferant, causing the good cells to grow rapidly. During their fast new growth, the good cells push the dead cells and their waste into a deposit. This growth of waste material has an alarming appearance and frightens the uninformed into believing the cancer is growing rapidly. We have seen this condition a number of times. As it reaches a crisis condition, after the growth loads up with toxic materials it then starts decreasing in size and the healing process takes place. This is a slow procedure in some cases and demands good continued care and understanding." - Dr.Christopher’s School of Natural Healing 60 Science proves that Native American people have been right for over six hundred years. "Scientists make a remarkable find. One small plant grows healthily where all else is dead. Intrigued by this, the scientists took the plant and the seeds to their laboratory for the utmost scrutiny. What did they find? The plant and seeds were loaded with a substance called NDGA. This ingredient not only protected the plant from Nuclear Radiation, but tests showed that it is a key to longer life for all living beings." - Scientific Documentation, Jason Winters International 61

Jason Winters International is proud to present this up to date information which proves once again that ancient people, living close to God and to nature, had special knowledge that is only now being proven correct. This barren desert is ground zero at the former Nevada atomic test site. Nine months after the last atomic blast, a small plant, native to the area, sprouted and flourished. Within this plant is a substance called NDGA, which protected its seeds from the nuclear radiation. Laboratory tests of NDGA showed it to be a key to a longer life for humans, plants and animals. Dr. Lippmarr and his researchers visited this former atomic testing site to examine plants and animals that survived near ground zero even though they should have been killed by radiation poisoning. The seed from a native plant survived and sprouted. The plant was a common food source for many desert animals. NDGA, found in the plant, protected the seed and the animals that nibbled on the plant. Clinical studies show that NDGA extends the life spans of animals and indicates the same may be true for humans." - Scientific Documentation, Jason Winters International 61

„Essiac Tea was heavily suppressed for decades by the medical establishment"

(- 1960) René M. Caisse Nutshell: Originator of Essiac Tea Books: The Essence Of Essiac by Sheila Snow, co-author of Essiac Essentials And Essiac, The Essiac Report: The True Story of a Canadian Herbal Cancer Remedy and of the Thousands of Lives It Continues to Save By Richard Thomas (1993) Rene M. Caisse (1888-1978) was a Canadian Nurse born in born in Bracebridge, Ontario. The Mother of Essiac Tea, a truly a multicultural phenomenon

In 1922 nurse Rene Caisse worked in the surgery ward in an Ontario hospital where she found an elderly woman patient with a strangely scarred breast. The woman explained to nurse Caisse that thirty years earlier doctors told her she had advanced breast cancer and would need to have the breast removed. She declined the surgery. A Native American friend in Ontario had offered to treat the woman's CANCER with herbal medicine, and she decided to accept. The man, an Ojibway herbalist, gave her the herb recipe and showed her how to make a brew of it. She drank the tea daily, and her tumors shrank and then DISAPPEARED. She was still totally cancer

"Remarkably beneficial results were obtained even on those cases at the 'end of the road' where it proved to prolong life and the 'quality' of that life. - Dr Brusch & Dr Charles McClure. "In some cases, if the tumor didn't disappear, it could be surgically removed after Essiac with less risk of metastasis resulting in new outbreaks. Hemorrhage has been rapidly brought under control in many difficult cases, open lesions of lip and breast responded to treatment, and patients with cancer of the stomach have returned to normal activity among many other remembered cases. Also, intestinal burns from radiation were healed and damage replaced, and it was found to greatly improve whatever the condition. . . .I endorse this therapy even today, for I have in fact cured my own cancer, the original site of which was the lower bowel, through Essiac alone." - René M. Caisse From a notarized letter, April 6, 1990. "Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an underground dictatorship....To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are unAmerican and despotic and have no place in a republic....The Constitution of this republic should make special privilege for medical freedom as well as religious freedom." - Dr. Benjamin Rush

free two decades later as she spoke with nurse Caisse in the Ontario hospital. Caisse obtained the recipe for herself thinking she could use it if she ever had cancer. Shortly afterward, Caisse's aunt was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer and given six months to live. Caisse asked the physician, Dr. R. O. Fisher, for permission to try the tea on her aunt, and he consented. Her aunt drank the herbal brew daily for two months and recovered. She lived for twenty years more. Dr. Fisher and nurse Caisse began treating cancer patients who had been diagnosed as terminal by their doctors, and many of them improved dramatically. Caisse and Fisher modified the combination of herbs somewhat, and Caisse named the concoction "Essiac," which is her name spelled backward. Through the years, Caisse treated THOUSANDS of cases. The vast majority was brought to her for treatment after SURGERY, RADIATION, AND CHEMOTHERAPY had failed, and the patients were pronounced INCURABLE. One example is Annie Bonar. She was diagnosed with uterine and bowel cancer, which had spread after radium treatments. Her arm had swollen to double its size, turning black. The night before the arm was to be amputated; Bonar opted for Essiac therapy instead. Reference: Hope for Cancer Sufferers by Scott E.

Essiac Ingredients The basic formula consists of four herbs: Burdock root (Arctium lappa) Turkey rhubarb (Rheum palmatum) Sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella) Slippery elm (Ulmus fulva) In April of 1974 Rene Caisse wrote: "The herb that will destroy a cancer is the dog-eared, Sheep sorrel, sometimes called sourgrass. The entire plant must be used, picked in the spring before the seeds form, then dried and powdered. One ounce of the powdered herb put in thirty ounces of pure water brought to a rolling boil and boiled for five minutes. This would reduce in the boiling to twenty-eight ounces. Turn off the heat and let stand overnight. Then pour off liquid into sterile bottles." - Essiac: The Secrets of Rene Caisse's Herbal Pharmacy by Sheila Snow and Mali Klein p. 28 63 "For I have in fact cured my own cancer, the original site of which was the lower bowels, through Essiac alone." - Charles Brusch, M.D. "If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls who live under tyranny." - Jefferson's Notes on Viriginia, Query XVII (1781-1785)

During four months of the herbal treatment, she went from 90 to 150 pounds, and her arm returned to normal. A series of exams revealed she was CANCER FREE. The Royal Cancer Commission of Canada listed her case as "recovery due to radiation." Concerned that Caisse was practicing medicine without a license, Canadian officials, along with many in the medical community, attempted to censor her work. This ultimately had a braking effect on her treatments, but she never stopped helping those who came to her until her death in 1978. Caisse also had numerous lucrative offers for the formula, but always feared a large company would take it over, and that Essiac would then become less freely available to the people who needed it most. Indeed, Dr. Frederick Banting, discoverer of insulin, wanted to test Essiac after learning that one of Caisse's patients had not only been cured of her cancer, but of her insulin-dependent diabetes as well. Under Essiac therapy, her cancerous bowel tumor had became larger and harder at first, although it soon softened, got smaller, and ULTIMATELY DISAPPEARED. The woman's diabetes also disappeared. Dr. Banting thought the Essiac healed the pancreas as well, and thus had potential to treat diabetes. He wanted to test the substance in his lab, but he also wanted Caisse to close her clinic while tests were run. She refused, and the tests on diabetes never took place. Essiac is not a cure-all according to Dr. Jim Chan, N.D., despite evidence that it seems more effective than chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery in treating various cancers. Chan obtained Essiac in 1991 from the Resperin Corp. of Toronto for cancer patients through the emergency drug release program and maintains that it is "not 100 percent effective." An individual's lifestyle, the kind of carcinoma involved, and the time at which he or she starts taking Essiac are factors. Still, Chan has had a HIGH SUCCESS RATE with those who have had the least amount of radiation or chemotherapy, and most had begun the Essiac alternative in late stages of their cancer illness.

Life-Building with Essiac Formula (Following information is excerpted from: The Truth About Essiac, Rene Caisse and her Herbal Cancer Treatment ESSIAC. Special Thanks to http://www.healthfreedom.info/)

The following formula and recipe for Essiac (in italics) is a word-for-word transcription of the Essiac formula from the sworn affidavit which Mary McPherson filed with the Town of Bracebridge. The formula below is also the one which Dr. Gary Glum released to the public in 1988 when he published CALLING OF AN ANGEL: ESSIAC, NATURE'S CURE FOR CANCER. Essiac 6 Â˝ cups of burdock root (cut) (upper left) 1 pound of sheep sorrel herb powdered (upper right) 1/4 pound of slippery elm bark powdered (lower left) 1 ounce of Turkish rhubarb root powdered (lower right)

Mix these ingredients thoroughly and store in glass jar in dark dry cupboard. Take a measuring cup, use 1 ounce of herb mixture to 32 ounces of water depending on the amount you want to make. I use 1 cup of mixture to 8 x 32 = 256 ounces of water. Boil hard for 10 minutes (covered) then turn off heat but leave sitting on warm plate over night (covered). In the morning heat steaming hot and let settle a few minutes, then strain through fine strainer into hot sterilized bottles and sit to cool. Store in dark cool cupboard. Must be refrigerated when opened. When near the last when it's thick pour in a large jar and sit in frig overnight then pour off all you [can] without sediment. This recipe must be followed exactly as written. I use a granite preserving kettle (10 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 12 qts), 8 ounce measuring cup, small funnel and fine strainer to fill bottles.

Additional Tips & Information The preparation of Essiac is as important as the formula itself. Essiac is a decoction, not an infusion. An infusion is what people make when they put a tea bag in a cup of hot water. Generally speaking, an infusion tends to extract vitamins and volatile oils from leaves and flowers. A decoction is used to extract minerals, bitter components, etc. from hard materials such as roots, bark or seeds by boiling for a few minutes and then allowing the herbs to steep for several hours. Entrepreneurs often sell Essiac imitations in tincture form (herbs in alcohol) or in gelatin capsules; neither form is Essiac because Essiac is a tea and, more specifically, a decoction that must be made in a certain way in order to achieve the kind of results that Nurse Caisse was demonstrating. People often substitute stainless steel for an enameled pot and lid. The main concern is not to use an aluminum pot. Also, be sure not to use unfiltered, chlorinated water. The formula above can be reduced to 1/2 cup of herb mix to one gallon of water. [Optional: Dr. Glum suggests adding 2 or 3 cups of extra water to replace water lost through evaporation during boiling. Also, the dry herbs will absorb water as well.] After boiling for ten minutes, let the tea steep about 12 hours. Then heat up tea to steaming, but not boiling. (Do not boil twice.) The remaining pulp can be used for healing poultices. Don't use cheese cloth to strain Essiac. Likewise, do not use a kitchen sieve that has a very fine mesh as this may filter out the slippery elm. Slippery elm gives the tea a slight viscous consistency when poured. If you do not notice this "slippery" consistency after refrigerating your tea, you may be using a sieve that is too fine. Don't worry about herb particles in your Essiac; they will settle to the bottom of the jars. Some people drink the Essiac dregs (particles that settle on the bottom), others don't. Some people give the Essiac dregs to their pets or farm animals as a health food. Many people have reported the

same or similar health benefits with their pets that humans are reporting. The dregs can also be used topically as a poultice. It is best to refrigerate the Essiac tea as soon as it has cooled. Discard the tea if mold appears on the surface or if the tea does not taste right. Make sure that the sheep sorrel you use is the small, wild variety of sheep sorrel and not a substitute like yellow dock or garden (French) sorrel. Imported turkey rhubarb root could be fumigated or irradiated. Many Essiac merchants are unaware of the quality of their herbs. The best way to insure that you're getting true Essiac is to grow the herbs yourself. This puts you in control of product quality and takes out the commercialism. Burdock root is harvested in the fall of the first year. Slippery elm bark is wild crafted or organically-grown and is easy to buy. Turkey Rhubarb is the only herb in Essiac that cannot be wild crafted in the US. The Chinese use six year old turkey rhubarb roots for maximum potency. Essiac West usually has some Essiac herb seeds to grow your own Essiac tea herbs.

Life-Building with Turkey rhubarb (Rheum palmatum) Disorders Treated: Cancer treatment, Constipation, Fever, Gastrointestinal ulcers, hypertension, Malabsorption, Microbial infection, Inflammation, Peptic Ulcer, Scabies, Worms, (The following information is excerpted from: The Rhubarb Compendium, http://www.rhubarbinfo.com/. The Rhubarb Compendium, Copyright 1996-2012, Dan Eisenreich)

Rhubarb has a long history of herbal usage. The primary result of rhubarb root as an herbal medicine is a positive and balancing effect upon the digestive system. Rhubarb is one of the most widely used herbs in Chinese medicine. Rhubarb roots are harvested in the fall from plants that are at least six years old. The roots are then dried for later use. The root is used as an anticholesterolemic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antitumor, aperient, astringent, cholagogue, demulcent, diuretic, laxative, purgative, stomachic and tonic. Rhubarb roots contain anthraquinones which have a purgative effect, and the tannins and bitters have an an effect that is opposite that of an astringent. When taken internally in small doses, rhubarb acts as an astringent tonic to the digestive system, when taken larger doses rhubarb acts as a very mild laxative.

Anticancer effect of aloe-emodin on cervical cancer cells involves G2/M arrest and induction of differentiation. RESULTS: Aloe-emodin inhibited the growth of HeLa cells in a dosedependent manner at concentrations ranging between 2.5 and 40 micromol/L. The flow cytometric analysis showed that HeLa cells were arrested at the G2/M phase. This effect was associated with the decrease in cyclin A and CDK2, and the increase in cyclin B1 and CDK1. More importantly, the ALP activity was found to be increased by aloe-emodin treatment, and accompanied by the inhibition of PCNA expression. In addition, aloe-emodin suppressed the expression of PKCalpha and c-myc. CONCLUSION: These findings provide a possible mechanistic explanation for the growth inhibitory effect of aloe-emodin on HeLa, which includes cell cycle arrest and inducing differentiation. - Ningbo University School of Medicine, Ningbo 315211, China.

The root can be taken internally for the treatment of chronic constipation, diarrhea, liver and gall bladder complaints, hemorrhoids, menstrual problems and skin eruptions due to an accumulation of toxins. Note that this remedy should not used by pregnant or lactating women, or patients with intestinal obstruction. Used externally, rhubarb root can be used in the treatment of burns.

"Effects of rhubarb extract on radiation induced lung toxicity via decreasing transforming growth factor-beta-1 and interleukin-6 in lung cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. RESULTS: The incidence of RILT in the trial group was significantly lower than that in the control group at 6 weeks and 6 months after treatment (32.4% versus 56.7% at week 6, and 27.0% versus 52.8% at month 6, both P<0.05). The plasma TGF-beta1 levels in the trial group were significantly lower than that in the control group during and after the treatment (P<0.05 or 0.01, respectively). The serum IL-6 levels in the trial group were significantly lower than that in the control group during the treatment (all P<0.01). The forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at 1s (FEV1) at 6 weeks and the diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) at 6 months in the trial group were significantly improved compared to the control group (P<0.05 or 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The rhubarb extract significantly attenuated RILT and improved PF, probably by decreasing the level of TGF-beta1 and IL-6. These results may be of value for the prophylaxis of RILT, but the exact mechanisms underlying these prophylactic effects remain to be further explored." - Yu HM, Liu YF, Cheng YF, et al., Department of Radiation Oncology, Qilu Hospital, Medical school, Shandong University, China.

(The following information is excerpted from: Sheep Sorrel (Rumex acetosella) has been a folk remedy for cancer for centuries, http://www.bulk-essiactea.com)

Sheep Sorrel plants have been a folk remedy for cancer for centuries, both in Europe and America. Researchers have observed that it can help Break Down Tumors and it can alleviate some chronic conditions and degenerative diseases. Sheep sorrel is a rich source of oxalic acid, sodium, potassium, iron, manganese, phosphorous, beta-carotene, and vitamin C. The combination of these vitamins and minerals promote the glandular health of the entire body. Sheep Sorrell also contains carotenoids and chlorophyll, as well as citric, malic, and tannic and tartaric acids. The chlorophyll can serve many functions in the body. For one, it carries oxygen throughout the bloodstream. This is significant because cancer cells cannot live in the presence of oxygen. Chlorophyll closely resembles hemoglobin in its functioning: both are capable of carrying oxygen to every

The chemistry and biological activity of herbs used in FlorEssence herbal tonic and Essiac. "The herbal mixtures, Essiac and Flor-Essence, are sold as nutritional supplements and used by patients to treat chronic conditions, particularly cancer. Evidence of anticancer activity for the herbal teas is limited to anecdotal reports recorded for some 40 years in Canada. Individual case reports suggest that the tea improves quality of life, alleviates pain, and in some cases, impacts cancer progression among cancer patients. Experimental studies with individual herbs have shown evidence of biological activity including antioxidant, antioestrogenic, immunostimulant, antitumour, and antiocholeretic actions. However, research that demonstrates these positive effects in the experimental setting has not been translated to the clinical arena. Currently, no clinical studies of Essiac or Flor-essence are published, but a clinical study is being planned at the British Columbia Cancer Agency by the University of Texas-Center for Alternative Medicine - Tamayo C, Richardson MA, Diamond S, Skoda I., Foresight Link Corporation, Ontario, Canada.

cell of the organism. When chlorophyll molecules carry oxygen through the bloodstream chromosome damage can be inhibited to effectively block cancer. Chlorophyll also helps block germs and harmful bacteria. Chlorophyll also can help patients cope better with chemotherapy and radiation treatments. It can reduce the damage of radiation burns and increase the resistance to X-rays. Also, chlorophyll can improve cardiovascular health. Chlorophyll also can purify the liver, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the growth of new tissues. Sheep sorrel also contains silicon, which is a necessary element in nerves and the myelin sheath that covers them. Besides the properties listed above, sheep sorrel is a digestive regulator, meaning that it can act as an antidiarrhea agent as well as a laxative, depending on the health of the digestive tract. Sheep sorrel is a cleansing agent, a diuretic, and a detoxifier. Due to the high vitamin C content, it has also been used to treat Scurvy. The oxalic acid in sheep sorrel combines with calcium to aid in its digestive assimilation and it stimulates the intestines, thus helping a sluggish gut regain normal functioning. Oxalic acid also seems to promote faster blood coagulation time, which makes it helpful to control hemorrhages. The herb also contains several anthraquinones that are effective antioxidants and radical scavengers, again helping with cancer treatment.

"Sheep sorrel is a weed common throughout most of North American. This plant is also one of the four vital herbs found in essiac tea (a powerful tea used to treat chronic illnesses) due to to its healing properties. In fact, former chiropractor and author of "Calling of an Angel", Dr. Gary L. Glum, stated in an interview that sheep sorrel is the main ingredient in essiac responsible for the termination of cancer cells. In addition, Dr. Glum also stated how in 1937 the Royal Cancer Commission concluded that "essiac was(is) indeed a cure for cancer." Sheep sorrel is rich in cancer preventive vitamins and contains four anti-mutagenics which inhibit the generation of cancer cells by protecting the DNA of healthy cells. Furthermore, with it's four antioxidants sheep sorrel aids in ridding the body of its free radicals. This is essential because free radicals are the harmful 'debris' that float around our cells. So by eliminating these free radicals our cells are protected from damage , especially and most importantly damage to the DNA. As further proof to its anti-tumor properties, a study conducted by the Department of Pharmaceutical Botany at Medical University, confirmed that the cytotoxic activities of Rumex species such as Rumex acetosella supported the traditional use of its extracts for the treatment of cancer." - theherbaltruth.weebly.com/ 70-73 "The overall activities of Rumex species support the traditional use of the extract from the fruits of R. confertus, R. crispus, R. hydrolapathum and R. obtusifolius in the treatment of cancer." - Wegiera M, et al., Medical University, Poland 74

Slippery Elm has been used for medicinal purposes both historically and today. According to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the inner bark is the part of the tree used as a remedy. It has been used historically for gastrointestinal disorders, skin ulcers, abscesses, cancer, cough, fever and inflammation. Slippery Elm has several mechanisms that may contribute to its medicinal value. The inner bark has a high content of mucilage, a thick glue-like substance found in many plants, which can add a protective coating to the intestinal lining, relieve inflammation and aid in moisture retention for dry skin. Slippery Elm also contains the fatty acids, oleic and palmitic acids, and these are purported to display anti-tumor activity.

Essiac tea: scavenging of reactive oxygen species and effects on DNA damage. "(â&#x20AC;Ś) Essiac itself has also been reported to demonstrate anti-cancer activity in vitro, although its effects in vivo are still a matter of debate. We prepared an extract of Essiac tea from a concentration of 25mg/mL and boiled it for 10 min. From this preparation we used concentrations of 5, 10, 25 and 50% to measure Essiac effects. In this study, we examined the effects of Essiac on free radical scavenging and DNA damage in a non-cellular system, as well as the effects Essiac on lipid peroxidation using the RAW 264.7 cell line. We observed, using electron spin resonance, that Essiac effectively scavenged hydroxyl, up to 84% reduction in radical signal at the 50% tea preparation concentration, and superoxide radicals, up to 82% reduction in radical signal also at the 50% tea preparation concentration, as well as prevented hydroxyl radicalinduced DNA damage. In addition, Essiac inhibited hydroxyl radicalinduced lipid peroxidation by up to 50% at the 50% tea preparation concentration. These data indicate that Essiac tea possesses potent antioxidant and DNA-protective activity, properties that are common to natural anti-cancer agents. This study may help to explain the mechanisms behind the reported anti-cancer effects of Essiac.

„ Pau D’Arco became one of the most abused herbs today."

In the early 1960s, an oldtime folk remedy used for centuries in the Amazon basin of Brazil, was given yet again—but this time a physician heard about it. Dr. Santi learned about a girl which was treated for cancer by her aunt—with a bagful of tree bark. It was pau d’arco. This is the inner bark of the Tabebuia genus (also called Lapacho). The scientific name for the tree is Tabeluia cassinoides. Indians used to fashion the wood into bows, and "pau d’arco" was Spanish for "bow stick."

The girl was in terrible pain with advanced cancer, and the pau d’arco ELIMINATED the cancer. So Santi took some back home to Sao Paulo and treated his brother with it. He did it, using the formula he had been taught by the natives: He boiled the bark in grape juice, and then mixed it with orange juice. Then he had his brother drink it on an empty stomach. As simple as that. Soon the cancer was gone. Then another Brazilian physician, Prats Ruiz, reported the successful treatment of three cases of LEUKEMIA with pau d’arco tea (A. De Montmorency, Spotlight, June 8, 1981). The wood had first been noted by researchers because it had anti-malaria factors. This is due to the fact that it's most active ingredient, lapachone, is a quinone-like NDGA—the same active ingredient in chaparral (nordihydroguaiaretic acid). Lapachone is generally called lapachol. Early tests revealed lapachol was effective against leukemia.

respiration within the tumor. Because cancers grow so fast, they waste away when their energy source is removed. Keep in mind that Lapachol is not pau d’arco, but an extraction of its most active chemical compound. Lapachol has been found to dangerously slow blood clotting (by interfering with vitamin K metabolism), when given in large enough doses to kill tumors. It also causes anemia. A safe dosage of lapachol has not been determined because of the anemia and slowed clotting produced. But the natural form, pau d’arco tea, appears to have no severe side effects. However, keep in mind that the tea has not been studied extensively. This is because an herb tea cannot be patented and therefore sold at a great profit. So only common folk want to bother with it. The treatment used in Brazil, by the nationals, for cancer and other diseases is this: They take 1 or more 8-ounce glasses of pau d’arco tea each day.

Why haven't human research studies on such a promising herbal remedy been accomplished? We can only speculate... Also, this study used only three of the constituents from the Pau d'Arco tree bark. There are at least 20 different identified constituents that reside in this remarkable herb. As stated in Walter Lubeck's book, "The Healing Power of Pau d'Arco", "There wasn't just one individual "miracle active ingredient" in Pau D'Arco responsible for all the good results. Its extensive healing power originates in the totality of the substances contained within this plant, which we are completely justified in calling unique, and their fortunate balanced state and harmonious combination with each other. Because of the fantastic composition of the active ingredients, even the smallest amounts of the individual active ingredients can make a decisive contribution to processes like the inhibition of tumor growth. If the components are used in an isolated manner, much of their healing power disappears and the excellent tolerance and harmonious effect of the tea is often lost."

Pau d’arco is taken for Candida yeast infections, various viral infections and parasitic infections. It also has antiinflammatory and cleansing properties, and stimulates the immune system (92). Pau d’arco is a potent antioxidant (93). Lapachol, a chief constituent of the wood and bark of the pau d’arco tree, has anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, and immunomodulatory activity (94), many of which have been backed up by results from animal and other laboratory studies (95). Lapachol shows antibacterial/ antiparasitic activity against Grampositive and acid-fact bacteria, fungi and viruses, with a strong activity against the Brucella species. Napthoquinones in pau d’arco,are highly effective against Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Pau d’arco also actively inhibits the growth of several dangerous viruses, including Herpes types 1 & 11 (93). In folk medicine pau d’arco has been taken to treat diabetes, ulcers, liver ailments, cystitis, prostatitis, ringworm, gonorrhea, syphilis, candida and as a general tonic (94).

The native Indians of Brazil, northern Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia and other South American countries have used lapacho for medicinal purposes for thousands of years; there are indications that its use may actually ante-date the Incas. Lapacho is applied externally and internally for the treatment of fevers, infections, colds, flu, syphilis, cancer, respiratory problems, skin ulcerations and boils, dysentery, gastro-intestinal problems of all kinds, debilitating conditions such as arthritis and prostatitis, and circulation disturbances., Other conditions have reportedly been cured with lapacho including lupus, diabetes, Hodgkins disease, osteomyelitis, Parkinson's disease, and psoriasis. It is used to relieve pain, kill germs, increase the flow of urine, and even as an antidote to poisons. Its use in many ways parallels that of the IMMUNOSTIMULANTS ECHINACEA on this continent and ginseng in Asia, except that its action appears to exceed them both in terms of its potential as a CANCER TREATMENT. The Guarani, Tupi and other tribes called the lapacho tree "Tajy," meaning "to have strength and vigor, or simply: "The Divine Tree".

Pau D'arco Properties: Researchers have isolated the most active immunostimulants in the bark, including veratric acid and various plant pigments called "Quinines". Small quantities of two of these quinones combined, forces T-cell proliferation by more than 40 percent. They also isolated a yellow crystalline pigment called lapachol, which has proven effective against malaria-like symptoms. T-cells have long been the main suspect in a dysfunctional immune system. When their population decreases or their functional ability becomes hampered, the antibody-forming B-cells that they regulate have a more difficult time distinguishing the harmful effects of toxic substances from harmless substances entering the body. Quinones are found throughout nature, and are considered extremely important. Quinones are primarily involved in the biological transfer of hydrogen and electrons. Quinones help in the process of oxidative metabolism in plants and animals. Laxative effect: Regular use of lapacho will maintain regularity of BOWEL MOVEMENTS. This property is undoubtedly due to the presence of the napthaquinones and anthraquinones. Users of lapacho universally report a pleasant and moderate oosening of the bowels that leads to greater regularity without any unpleasant sideeffects such as diarrhea. Strengthens Immune System: The October 8, 1985 issue of Globe stated that "Lapacho, a proven antibiotic, is often used in America to treat yeast infections, but is touted in South America as a cure for cancer and other diseases. The experts say it can also arm the body against viral infestations like AIDS..." "taking certain herbs is the perfect health measure to protect yourself against AIDS," says Dr Paul Lee, former director of the Platonic Academy of Herbal studies in Santa Cruz, California."

response", says Dr. Tom Baldwin, Associate Professor of immunology at the University of Texas Health Science Center. "We have already identified plants that have effect, and there is good reason to investigate further", he told Globe. The article also indicates that a combination of Lapacho and YerbaMate is especially effective. The Spotlight, June 8, 1981, lists 35 diseases which Red and/or Purple Lapacho has purportedly cured, or relieved. Malignant germs that cause all these diseases cannot withstand the antibiotics this mighty tree secretes. Powerful Natural Antibiotic: Researchers isolated a substance in Lapacho tea that apparently contains a chemical chain, anti-tumor agent. Dr. Paulo Martin, a medical researcher for the Brazilian government stated, "We isolated a compound we called quechua from Lapacho and found it to be a powerful antibiotic, with virus-killing properties." Dr. Norman Farnsworth of the University of Illinois, both herbal medicine experts, agree with Dr. Martin and are quoted as saying: "Lapacho undoubtedly contains a substance found to be HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AGAINST CANCER." Some feel that one of the most significant contributions of Lapacho tea is the elimination of pain. Apparently this takes about 3 days of drinking a quart of Red or purple Lapacho tea each day, properly prepared, and 2-3 cups per day thereafter (â&#x20AC;Ś). Many cancer patients who have used Lapacho were also receiving medical treatment, and it appears that Lapacho can be used successfully in conjunction with ongoing medical therapy. Some report that the tea appeared to INCREASE EFFECTIVENESS of chemotherapy with a parallel decrease in deleterious side effects when Lapacho tea is used. Anti-cancer effect: The greater part of the basic research on lapacho, both in the United States and in other countries has dealt directly with the cancer question. Obviously, this issue is of great importance. Any tendency of lapacho to ameliorate the course of cancer should be made known to all persons likely to benefit from it. The absence of side Reference: Pau D'Arco In-depth Pau D'arco Article by Dr. Mowry. Vibrant Life, http://www.oralchelation.com

effects makes lapacho a treatment of choice even in conjunction with standard forms of therapy. The user has nothing to lose and much to gain from the judicious use of lapacho. Naturally, any and all treatment of a cancerous condition should be done under the supervision of a qualified physician. Some constituents or groups of constituents of lapacho have indeed been found to suppress tumor formation and reduce tumor viability, both in experimental animal trials and in clinical settings involving human patients. In addition, anecdotal data abounds to such an extent that to overlook its importance is to turn one's back on a potentially invaluable source of aid and health. Leukemia has proven particularly susceptible to the application of lapacho and several of its constituents. Some researchers feel that lapachol is one of the most important anti-tumor agents in the entire world. Part of the effectiveness of lapacho may stem from its observed ability to stimulate the production of red blood cells in bone marrow. Anti-oxidant effect: In vitro trials show definite inhibition of free radicals and inflammatory leukotrienes by lapacho constituents. This property might underlie the effectiveness of lapacho against skin cancer, and definitely helps to explain observed antiaging effects. Modern science has recently uncovered the importance of free radicals in the generation of many debilitating diseases, from cancer to arthritis. These molecules are even heavily implicated in the normal aging process. Reversing their action has become big business in world health circles. Anti-oxidants, or free-radical scavengers, have emerged as premier candidates for the role of healers and disease-preventers. Among the antioxidants few have greater potency than lapacho and other constituents of lapacho. Analgesic effect: The administration of lapacho is consistently credited in reports issuing from South American clinics as a primary modality for lessening the pain associated with several kinds of cancer, especially cancer of the prostate, liver or breast. Arthritic pain has also been relieved with lapacho ingestion. Reference: Pau D'Arco In-depth Pau D'arco Article by Dr. Mowry. Vibrant Life, http://www.oralchelation.com

Antimicrobial/anti-parisiticidal effects: includes inhibition and destruction of gram positive and acid-fast bacteria (B. subtilis, M. pyogenes aureus, etc.5-8), yeasts, fungi, viruses and several kinds of parasites. Two troublesome families of viruses inhibited by lapachol are noteworthy: Herpes viruses and HIV's. Together, these viruses account for much of the misery of mankind. The anti malarial activity of lapacho spawned a great deal of research interest in the early decades of this century. A 1948 article reviewed the progress and indicated that the N-factors, especially lapachol, were among the most promising anti malarial substances known at that time. Lapacho's immunostimulating action is due in part to its rather potent antimicrobial effects. Cellular Mechanics: Every cell of the body requires oxygen and glucose to obtain energy for life-sustaining functions. The oxygen and glucose are subjected to a fairly complex metabolic process in the tiny energy producing structures in the cell called mitochondria. This process requires numerous enzymes and coenzymes. The oxygen and glucose are converted to carbon dioxide and water which are then returned to the blood. The CO2 is exhaled by the lungs (hence this metabolic process is often called "respiration"); excess water is eventually drawn off through perspiration or through the kidneys. During this conversion, several free electrons are freed up, which are immediately utilized by another pathway to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of the cell--ATP is the molecule every cell is required to utilize, or spend, to obtain energy. The two paths--one for breakdown of glucose, and one for synthesis of ATP--are tightly coupled together. Should they become uncoupled, the cell can no longer obtain energy, and it dies. Such poisoning has acquired the name of "uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation." Many agents have been found that uncouple oxidative phosphorylation; many of them resemble the N-factors in lapacho. In fact, it has been found that lapacho works like other benzoquionones, i.e., it uncouples the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation Reference: Pau D'Arco In-depth Pau D'arco Article by Dr. Mowry.

occurring in cancerous cells, but not in healthy ones. This selective killing (cytotoxicity) of tumor cells is what makes lapacho such a potentially valuable agent for the treatment of cancer. One of the games science plays is attempting to discover at what point cellular respiration is broken up by chemical agents The components of lapacho seem to interrupt the process at several points, usually by inhibiting an enzyme or coenzyme that is required for the next step in the chain to occur properly. For instance, lapacho inhibits the proper functioning of ATPase, the enzyme that catalyzes the final step in the formation of ATP. Lapachol has also been shown to inhibit the amount of another substance required for cellular reproduction: uridine triphosphate. This molecule is the main source of substances (called pyrimidine nucleotides) that are required by cells in order to build DNA, RNA and most other important proteins of the body. Lapacho may actually block the syntheses of pyrimidines in cancer cells (by inhibiting the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase). The result would be certain cellular death. There is also evidence that lapachol interacts directly with the nucleic acids of the DNA helix in cancerous cells. If such interaction, or bonding, takes place then DNA replication would be impossible. The result is also eventual death of the cell. Finally, lapacho constituent beta-lapachone has been shown to weaken malignant cells, even to the point of cellular death, by stimulating a process known as lipid peroxidation, which produces toxic molecules. Anti-Viral: One of the STRONGEST ACTIONS of lapacho is against viruses. The range of viruses inactivated by lapacho extends from those that cause the common cold to those that are responsible for AIDS. It has been shown to actively inhibit, kill or stunt the growth of several dangerous viruses, including herpes virus hominis types I and II, polio virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, avian myeloblastosis virus, rauscho murine

124

leukemia virus, friend virus, and rous sarcoma virus. Several other viruses are also inhibited by lapacho's N- and A-factors. One N-factor, beta-lapachone, inhibits enzymes in virus cells that directly affect the synthesis of DNA and RNA. It is also a potent inhibitor of the enzyme reverse transcriptase, involved in RNA/DNA relationships. Once these processes are inhibited, the virus is unable to take over the reproductive processes of the cell and cannot, therefore, replicate itself and infect other cells. Such inhibition is a characteristic of most substances that are being tested for activity against AIDS and Epstein-Barr. The enzyme in question is a key to the action of retroviruses. These viruses, also known as ribodeoxyviruses or oncornaviruses, have been implicated in the development of several kinds of experimental cancers. Beta-lapachone is obtained simply by treating lapachol with sulfuric acid, and tests show that it has a unique method of action vis-a-vis the reverse transcpritase inhibition. Note: Sulfurous compounds in some plants, especially yerbamate, when combined with lapacho might provide a catalytic base for the transformation of lapachol tobetalapachone, and hence increase the effectiveness of the lapacho. In this light it is interesting to note that native folklore teaches that yerbamate is a catalyst for lapacho; yerbamate becomes the foundation for lapacho therapy. Anti Parasitic: Lapacho components have been intensively studied in terms of their action against two rather nasty parasites: Schistosoma mansoni and Trypanosoma cruzi, both responsible for considerable disease and misery in tropical countries. Lapacho was effective against both. Taken by mouth, lapachol is eventually secreted onto the skin via the sebaceous glands where it acts as a topical barrier, inactivating microorganisms soon after they contact the skin. Meanwhile, throughout the G.I tract, it is performing the identical function on the mucous membranes, preventing the penetration of parasites (â&#x20AC;Ś).

Conclusion: Throughout the width and breadth of the earth there exist plants with the amazing ability to cure and prevent the ills of mankind when used with wisdom. They grow and blossom and concentrate valuable healing nutrients within their tissues. It is the obligation of animals and people to discover these properties and utilize them in the manner intended by the governing and organizing principles of nature. The search does not begin nor end in a research laboratory. It begins with the experimentation of simple people living close to the earth, who invest nothing in their search save the DESIRE TO LIVE HEALTHY, prevent sickness and cure disease. It ends when the rest of the world accepts knowledge so gained, and incorporates it into their own health system. The need for scientific examination results in the accumulation of interesting and sometimes useful data; at its best it opens new avenues for effective application of the wisdom of the ancients. At its worst, it asks the wrong questions, obtains the wrong answers, becomes puffed up by its own importance, and gets in the way of man's quest for the discovery of nature's healing gifts. Science and folklore need not clash. When they do, it is usually because the wrong questions were asked, the wrong answers obtained, the wrong materials examined, the wrong people involved. Lapacho currently finds itself in the middle of worldwide confusion. As data showing the efficacy of lapacho accumulates in some areas of the world, other areas continue to ignore basic sources of information; data gathered in such a vacuum disappoints the mind and obstructs progress. We prefer to believe that lapacho, given enough time, will emerge into the full light of day, even from the dark and muddling laboratories of the United States, and will take its rightful place as one of the GREAT HEALING HERBS of the world. We prefer to believe that until then the herb will be immune to the dealings of dim and uninspired regulatory proceedings on bright continents. We prefer to believe that, in the end, the millions of lapacho users will prevail. Reference: Pau D'Arco In-depth Pau D'arco Article by Dr. Mowry. Vibrant Life, http://www.oralchelation.com

„Chaparral herb is one of the strongest cleansing herbs in the world. - outlawed for decades."

Books: Miracle Medicine Herbs published by Reward Books (1991) (The following information is excerpted from: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA)

Mr. Farr was an old rancher who lived in Mesa, Arizona. By 1967, he was in deep trouble; for he was experiencing a constant recurrence of MALIGNANT MELANOMA on the right side of his cheek and neck. Uncertain what else to do, he went to the University of Utah Medical Center to consult with his doctors. They gave him the standard treatment, cutting out the growth. After excising it three times, Mr. Farr was no better off than before. Returning to the clinic in November 1967, he was told that the best thing to do was to let them do a RADICAL NECK DISSECTION. When he learned what that would remove, he said things had gone far enough. He would GO HOME TO DIE. Returning to his house in Mesa, he decided to die heroically! He went out into the desert and collected the dry leaves and stems of the creosote bush. If you have ever driven through the Western desert, you will understand why it has this name. It has a strong odor. The other name for this bush is chaparral (Larrea Divaricata or Larrea diverticata).

Reference: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell

127

The bush grows from four to eight feet tall, and has small, dark green leaves and brittle stems. It covers hundreds of square miles in the plains and slopes of the western U.S. deserts, up to 5,000 feet. Farr made the tea by steeping the dried leaves and stems in hot water. He later explained that he used the equivalent of 7 or 8 grams of leaves per quart of water. Then he drank 2 to 3 cups of this tea each day, rarely missing a dose. All the while, he took no other medications. He did not change his diet or way of life in the least. By February 1968, the facial lesion had decreased to the size of a dime and the NECK MASS HAD DISAPPEARED. Farr looked better physically, and had even gained some weight. He felt better, too. Returning to the University of Utah Medical Center in September 1968, the physicians were astounded to see him. By that time, the growth was the size of a small pimple. Immediately, under the supervision of Dr. Charles Smart and his assistant, Dr. H.H. Hogle, the Medical Center began investigating chaparral. They theorized that there was only one active ingredient: Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid (NDGA) — A POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT. On January 12, 1969, at Park City, Utah, Dr. Hogle presented a paper on Mr. Farr’s tumor regression at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Utah Chapter of the American College of Surgeons. Shortly after that, the paper was published in a professional journal (C.R. Smart, H.H. Hogle, et.al., "An Interesting Observation of Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid—NDGA—and a Patient with Malignant Melanoma: A Preliminary Report," Cancer Chemotherapy Reports, April 1969). The press quickly spread the world that chaparral could HEAL CANCER. This upset the Utah researchers, but they went ahead with their testing, as well as some folk in the national medical societies. The research team then took the active substance in chaparral (the NDGA), only, and gave it to human volunteers with cancer. In November 1970, they published a second report (Smart, Hogle, et. al., "Clinical Experience with Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid," Rocky Mountain Medical Journal, November 1970) that, out Reference: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell

128

of 59 cancer patients treated, only four showed "significant tumor regressions." One of the four remained in remission only four months, before new lesions developed. Soon after, a copy of this second report was sent to the National Cancer Institute. What might have been the results if the lifestyle and nutrition had been drastically improved—and if the whole chaparral tea had been given, not merely "an active agent"? (…). In an Amish newspaper, William McGrath told of an elderly Amish man who had eliminated terminal cancer 12 years earlier by taking 15 chaparral tablets a day (The Budget, June 27, 1979). Another example was a man named Andrew Hanson, who is said to have purchased some double-strength chaparral tablets, some Comfrey-Plus tablets and some Nectar D’Or Liquid Minerals. This was the formula he devised: "Start with 3 of the large tablets of chaparral 3 times daily. Take 3 Comfrey Plus tablets 3 times daily. Take 1 or 2 tablespoons of Nectar D’Or with any juice of your choice 3 times daily. Four days later increase the chaparral tablets to 4 tablets 3 times daily. Four days after that increase the chaparral to 5 tablets 3 times daily. Continue to use the Comfrey Plus tablets and Nectar D’Or the same. Keep dosages of chaparral at the maximum amount for the duration of the 30 days. Take the tablets with the meals either just before, during or after. The large chaparral tablets can go down easily with other food that has been chewed or may also be swallowed easily with a spoonful of apple sauce if you have a problem." At this point, you may begin wondering how a horrible-smelling substance, chaparral, could possibly reduce tumor size. It is an interesting fact that, out in the desert, chaparral secretes a substance which prevents plant seeds (including many of its own) from germinating on the nearby ground. The earth will be completely bare of plants near each bush. A number of different plants excrete such substances, including the black walnut. These substances are strong growth-inhibitors! As such, they might have tumor- reduction factors in them. Reference: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell

129

What Mr. Farr found out in the desert was a natural growth inhibitor. He used tea made from the whole leaf and stem. But he did NOT change his lifestyleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and probably continued chewing snuff which probably brought on the cheek and neck cancer! So the cancer later returned. NDGA, the most active agent in chaparral, is now known to have a wide range of ANTI-CANCER PROPERTIES and is relatively nontoxic. Drs. Dean Burk and Mark Woods calls it "the penicillin of quinones" (NDGA is chemically related to quinine, the anti-malarial drug); for they found it to be one of the most potent agents for destroying the metabolism of tumors. They found that it produced almost complete inhibition of anaerobic and aerobic processing of glucose in cancer cells! The Indians of the Southwest take chaparral tea to prevent and treat a wide variety of diseases, including CANCER.

cramps. The dried and powdered leaves were used on a newborn infant's navel to promote healing and a tea of the leaves was applied externally to the mother's breasts to stimulate the flow of milk. The Pima Indians relied on chaparral when they needed an emetic to cleanse the stomach. The resourceful Pima sometimes heated creosote bush branch tips to obtain healing sap which they dropped into the cavity of an aching tooth. The Coahuilla Indians called chaparral a-tu-kul and drank chaparral tea for bowel complaints and consumption. They also gave it to horses suffering from distemper and colds. It is interesting to note that the scope of native pathology consisted of bowel and stomach complaints, coughs, colds, milk fevers, sore eyes (from fire smoke), sprains, muscle soreness, injury and occasional rheumatism. After white contact which included white man's trading items of sugar and alcohol, measles, whooping cough, smallpox, venereal disease and tuberculosis were introduced. Chaparral was an official medicament in the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1842 through 1942 and was listed as an expectorant and pulmonary antiseptic.

Chaparral contains NDGA. "(â&#x20AC;Ś)Studies by Micro Biologist Emiliano Mora at Auburn University have demonstrated that an extract of Chaparral kills Malignant Cancer cells in test tubes. In experiments dating back to the 1960's NDGA. has significant growth inhibiting activity against some animal tumors, though not against others." Jason Winters International is proud to present this up to date information which proves once again that ancient people, living close to God and to nature, had special knowledge that is only now being proven correct. This barren desert is ground zero at the former Nevada atomic test site. Nine months after the last atomic blast, a small plant, native to the area, sprouted and flourished. Within this plant is a substance called NDGA, which protected its seeds from the nuclear radiation. Laboratory tests of NDGA showed it to be a key to a longer life for humans, plants and animals. Dr. Lippmarr and his researchers visited this former atomic testing site to examine plants and animals that survived near ground zero even though they should have been killed by radiation poisoning. The seed from a native plant survived and sprouted. The plant was a common food source for many desert animals. NDGA, found in the plant, protected the seed and the animals that nibbled on the plant. Clinical studies show that NDGA extends the life spans of animals and indicates the same may be true for humans."

Before my mother knew about other herbs for healing, our family used chaparral as a cure-all for whatever ailed us. The alkalinizing, cleansing action of chaparral could always be counted on to do the job of affecting a cure since most of our illnesses were caused from excess toxicity accumulating in our bodies. The most dramatic cure was when my mother developed a polyp in her uterus which was the size of a small lemon and the doctors who diagnosed her condition recommended a hysterectomy. She politely declined and began drinking chaparral tea and taking chaparral capsules in earnest. A couple months later when she returned to the same doctors for a pap smear and diagnosis, they were sure they must have made some mistake since there was not a trace of the original tumor and her pap smear came back totally normal. We have since shared the value of using chaparral with other women with tumors or cysts in their reproductive organs. All the women that have used chaparral on a daily basis for several weeks report back that their tumor/cyst has disappeared and are ever so grateful for learning about this wonderful plant. Chaparral is best known today as an anti-cancer agent. There are countless testimonies of people who have used this herb successfully to rid their bodies of melanomas, tumors, and most forms of cancer.

"Extract of leaves (not berries) of Mistletoe has been used for centuries in Europe as a traditional herbal treatment for infections. In the last century, Rudolf Steiner, the originator of Anthroposophy, suggested it’s use as a remedy for cancer. Biochemical analysis of mistletoe constituents led, in the 1980s to the isolation and characterisation of specific cytotoxic lectins that are responsible for the proposed antitumor activity of the extract. Principles of Immunopharmacology" - By F. P. Nijkamp, Michael J. Parnham "Mistletoe contains a cytotoxic lectin, viscumin. It also contains a number of cytotoxic proteins and polypetides (viscotoxins). Various lectins are both cytotoxic and immunostimulatory. It induces tumor necrosis, increases natural killer cell activity, increases production of interleukins 1 and 6; activates macrophages; induces programmed cell death (apoptosis), and protects DNA in normal cells during chemotherapy." - The Cancer Cure Foundation, ©2000/2010 Cancer Cure Foundation, California USA "A survey of German physicians found that the probability to achieve complete or partial remissions with mistletoe extract was estimated to be 6% and 15% respectively. [Disch Med Wochenschr 125: 1222-26, 2000] A study of patients who had undergone bladder cancer surgery did not find that mistletoe extract significantly delayed recurrence of cancer." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore, Here and Now Books, Amazon.com 2007 102

remarkable success. Here is the mistletoe story: European mistletoe (Viscum album) has been used to treat sicknesses for as long as anyone can remember. About 2,000 years ago, Pliny the Elder said mistletoe was a remedy for malignancies. It has been used ever since. Actually, the plant is unusual in that it lives on trees, taking water and minerals from them, yet returning sugar to the host tree! Dr. Hajito of the Lucas Clinic Laboratory of Immunology in Arlesheim, Switzerland, has come to the conclusion that mistletoe does two things in the body at the same time: It INHIBITS tumor growth while STIMULATING the immune system. In support of his work, Hajito has written many reports in scientific journals. A number of researchers and physicians have worked with the substance, but generally in the form of Iscador. This is the trade name for the oldest and most widely used mistletoe preparation(â&#x20AC;Ś). It has been found to cause more than 50% tumor inhibition in mice, in experiments carried on at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute, Buffalo, New York. Yet you will hear little about mistletoe in the United States, except at Christmas time. Dr. Hartmut Franz, in Europe, carried out in-depth studies into the substance and found that lectins, a group Reference: Alternative Cancer Remedies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell

"A recent study shows that mistletoe can induce a condition known as eosinophilic (an increase in the number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell) in healthy adults. [Journal Society Integrative Oncology 4: 3-7, 2006] mistletoe extract has been shown to reduce adverse effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy on the microcirculation and the immune system of cancer patients. [Anticancer Research 25:601-10, 2005] Iscador is popular in Germany where it was recently shown to improve survival (slightly) among malignant melanoma patients." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore, Here and Now Books, Amazon.com 102 "Popp tried mistletoe and other plant extracts on samples of her cancerous tissue and found that one particular mistletoe remedy created coherence in the tissue similar to that of the body. With the agreement of her doctor, the woman began forgoing any treatment other than this mistletoe extract. After a year, all her laboratory tests were virtually back to normal." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe. Amazon.com 103

of chemicals in mistletoe, produced its primary biological activity. Lectins can connect to sugar molecules and effect changes in cells. Within the mistletoe, this lectin protein forms a compound with an enzyme. Franz found that the enzyme inhibited both cell reproduction and protein synthesis within cells. The lectin part of the compound stimulated macrophages, a type of killer leukocyte (white blood cell), and causes other leukocytes to release cancer destroying chemicals. Hajito found that, within 24 hours of giving Iscador, two special things happened: (1) A certain type of white blood cell was aroused to action— releasing antibodies which kill unwanted cells. (2) The natural killer (NK) cells increased in number and began prowling around for foreign cells to eliminate. It has been theorized that the production process of fermentation, by which Iscador is made, is effective because it separates the enzyme from the lectin protein—and thus helps them both work more effectively. The present writer found little 20th century research on what the whole plant, taken as a tea rather than fermented into Iscador, could do.

"Modes of action and pharmacological effects ML-1 has a broad range of affinities for α/β galactopyranosyl residues. High nanogram concentrations of all three mistletoe lectins are cytotoxic. This action is due to ribosome inactivation by the rRNA N-glycosidase A-chain, leading to induction of apoptosis, possibly through activation of cation channels. At lower concentration ML-I release of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF- α from peripheral blood mononuclear skin cells. Repeated doses of mistletoe extract at an ML-I-equialent of 1ng/kg s.c. in cancer patients cause an increase in body temperature, increases in circulating Th cells and NK cells and enhances expression of IL-2 receptors (CD25) on lymphocytes.A direct stimulatory action on T cells is likely. In mice, mistletoe extract reduces formation of melanoma metastases." Principles of Immuno-pharmacology By F. P. Nijkamp, Michael and J. Parnham (2011).

cancer, not Iscador. One research study compared the fermented product with the unfermented—and found that Iscador was better for eliminating rat liver cancer cells while the unfermented tea was more effective on human leukemia cells. Both preparations dissolved the cell walls of the cancer cells (G. Ribereau-Gayon, et.al., Oncology, 43(supp. 1): 35-41, 1986). One thing is certain: ISCADOR STRENGTHENS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM; WHEREAS THE ORTHODOX CANCER THERAPIES WEAKEN IT. Iscador is given by means of a subcutaneous injection near, or into, the tumor. (In the case of brain and spinal cord tumors, it is taken orally lest increased pressure occur.) Oddly enough, although mistletoe reduces tumor mass, in Europe it is not given for that purpose— but rather to lessen the damaging effects of surgery and radiation treatments! Iscador is given in a series of 10 to 14 injections before surgery, at the rate of one dose a day (normally given in the morning when body temperature is rising). The purpose is to STRENGTHEN the immune system, prevent metastasis, and promote better recovery. It is also used as a follow-up treatment after surgery or radiation treatment for several years, in gradually decreasing dosages. It is believed that Iscador could have serious side effects if taken in excess. But Hijito and others have noted that it is nontoxic in the dosages normally given. Both the leaves and berries of the mistletoe contain poisonous compounds (viscotoxins), so it is urged that individuals not make their own preparations at home.

Mental health benefits: calming, narcotic, tonic, nervine, stimulant, vasodilator; useful for anxiety, epilepsy, headaches, mental/physical exhaustion, neuralgia, nervous debility; improves concentration; promotes sleep; relieves panic attacks; tranquilizer. Immunostimulatory: the elevation of body temperature is considered a sign of immune system stimulation and therefore a positive therapeutic effect.

Mistletoes are semiparasitic woody perennials, commonly found on oaks and other deciduous trees. These evergreen plants produce small white berries and are used as Christmas ornaments. Mistletoe preparations have been used in Europe for centuries to treat epilepsy, infertility, hypertension, and arthritis. Mistletoe was sacred to druids and reputedly used by them to cure sterility and epilepsy, and as an antidote for poisons. The history of mistletoe reaches back to Maoris tribes and even to the ancient Britons. Hippocrates and Galen used it as an external remedy and it was also used internally to Reference: (Reference: naturalpedia.com, globalherbalsupplies.com, truherbsusa.com, livingnaturally.com, forevernow.net, herbs2000.com)

The legend of kissing under the Mistletoe comes from a Scandinavian legend: "Balder, the God of Peace was slain with an arrow made of Mistletoe. The gods and goddesses restored him to life and the Mistletoe was given into the keeping of the Goddess of Love, who decreed that everyone who passed under it should receive a kiss to show it had become an emblem of love and not hate."- Global Herbal Supplies, Global Herbal Supplies 111 "A study examining the effects of a mistletoe extract on breast cancer patients found an immune-enhancing effect." - J.

treat sleep disorders. In fact, mistletoe has been in use since the time of Christ and the evidence reaches to Celtic paintings. It is said that the English name comes from the Anglo-Saxon Misteltan, tan meaning 'twig' and mistel from 'mist'. It was used by Gypsies as a protection against sorcery and witchcraft. In Norse mythology, a mistletoe bough was used to slay Balder, the god of peace. The plant was subsequently entrusted to the goddess of love and kissing under it became obligatory. At the beginning of the 20th century, mistletoe came into practice in Europe as an anti-cancer therapy and this remains a source of great popular interest. In Norway, for example, mistletoe has been considered a "non-proven therapy" or NPT, but has been used as a popular method for healing. In the last 50 years, there have been many laboratory, animal, and human studies conducted on potential anti-cancer effects thought to be caused by immuno-stimulatory effects of mistletoe. Mistletoe (Viscum album) contains lectins, viscotoxins (low-molecular-weight polypeptides), amines, polysaccharides, alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenes, sterols, fatty acids, and phenyl-propanoids.

(NaturalNews) It was the season to be jolly for 53 year old Joan van Holsteijn of England. Her 2009 Christmas gift was the final CURE of her cancer by Mistletoe! Actually, she was treated with an extract of mistletoe, a natural medicine first developed in 1922 for cancer by Rudolf Steiner in Europe. It is rarely used by itself today. Instead, it`s sometimes used as an adjunct to the more toxic forms of cancer treatments, especially chemotherapy (â&#x20AC;Ś). About Mistletoe for Cancer According to Wikipedia, Suzanne Somers, author of Knockout, also chose a mistletoe extract instead of chemotherapy for her breast cancer tumors. Surgery and radiation had not succeeded with ridding Suzanne of cancer, and her doctor's orders were for her to undergo chemotherapy. And just like Joan of England, Suzanne of Hollywood shunned chemotherapy to have mistletoe extract cure her. As The Cancer Cure Website explains: "Mistletoe extracts are marketed under several trade names ..., most of which are available in Europe. ... these extracts must be prescribed by a physician. However, most doctors in the US do not use it ... [though] it is allowed by compassionate use. Physicians ... can order [mistletoe extracts] directly from European manufacturers." 142

„Montagna used one of the strongest formulas for healing cancer. Yet his formula remains forgotten."

(- 1970 AD) F. Joseph Montagna Nutshell: Combination of 22 herbs in the treatment against cancer Books: The Herbal Desk Reference by F. Joseph Montagna (1990) (Following information is excerpted from: http://www.whale.to – Authority is not Truth, Truth is Authority) 121

In the mid-1970s, F. Joseph Montagna of Portland, Oregon, developed an herbal formula which, he claimed, produced about an 80% success against cancer. But we have no information on how long such remission generally lasted. It would be well for medical researchers to check out his claims and see if they are worth anything. Here, in his own words, was Montagna’s formula: A. BASIC INGREDIENTS:

1. Chaparral leaves - Dissolves malignant tumors. 2. Bloodroot - Purifies and cleanses bloodstream. 3. Red clover blossoms - Antidote to cancer. 4. Burdock root - Neutralizes and eliminates toxins. 5. Echinacea root - Natural herbal antitoxin. 6. Goldenseal root - Kills poisons; equalizes circulation. 7. Comfrey leaves - Relieves pain; establishes normal conditions. 8. Ginseng root - Stimulates vital cell processes. B. OTHER INGREDIENTS:

Poke, Parsley, Blue violet leaves, Licorice, Dandelion root, Cayenne, Prickley ash, Garlic, Cleavers, Gotu kola, Periwinkle, Sassafras, Agrimony, Ground ivy. Keep in mind that Montagna, like many others, remained with a single treatment; in this case an herbal mixture. If broad changes were also made in NUTRITION AND LIVING, much more could be accomplished by his program. The need to cleanse the body of the broken-down cancer tissue would be crucial to pain relief and healing. 143

Sir Jason Winters (1930 2004) adventurer, public speaker, humanitarian, English author. The Father of famous Sir Jason Winter Tea. Since 1977 over 62 million people in 70 countries have used Sir Jason's herbs. received awards from 7 foreign governments: he was Knighted in Malta as a Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John, to which HM the Queen and the Pope belong, the US Congressional Award of Meritorious Service, the Medal of Honour-Spain, Dean Laureate of Belgium, Holland and South Africa and two time recipient of the prestigious Dr. Albert Schweitzer Award. Sir Jason is president of the World Federation of Integrated Medicine, formed in consultation with HRH Prince Charles.

A terminal cancer patient given just three months to live, Jason Winters refused major surgery and traveled the world in search of an herbal remedy. He now has TOTAL REMISSION and shares his experiences for the benefit of cancer patients and others seeking to avoid this dreaded illness. Born in England to a working-class family, Jason Winters was 17 before riding in a car for the first time, or eating in a restaurant. But he had dreams and immigrated to Canada in 1947 where he worked on a farm in Saskatchewan. He then worked in Northern British Columbia as a lumberjack and for The Salmon Fisheries Commission. Seeking adventure, Jason crossed the Canadian Rockies by hot air balloon. For Canada's Centennial Celebration, he retraced Sir Alexander McKenzie's footsteps down the McKenzie River by canoe, a trip of more than

2,000 miles! Still not satisfied in his zest for adventure, Jason crossed the Sahara Desert by camel before working for the New Zealand government testing seat belts by crashing cars into brick walls. Jason attempted to be the first man to cross the Atlantic Ocean by hot air balloon, but crashed half way. Unlike most balloonists, Jason removed the typical basket from beneath the balloon and replaced it with a small boat, a fact that may have saved his life as it took days for him to be rescued after crashing into the Atlantic. The lure of Hollywood brought fame as an extra and stand-in for the role of Geronimo in the movie "Apache Agent." As a stunt man, Jason performed in all of Audie Murphy's films. His adventures spanned 20 years, but then came the biggest of all tests... facing death from terminal cancer. In 1977 a large, CANCEROUS GROWTH appeared on the side of Jason's neck. Normal cancer treatments had little effect on the growth and Jason was told to prepare to die. But Jason NEVER GAVE UP ON LIFE. He turned to the alternative health field and natural remedies. He found special herbs on three different continents that had been used for centuries to combat cancer. Reference: Jason Winters International.

"I have started taking this for leukemia symptons. A niece introduced me to it, she is recovering from soft tissue cancer. Her DR. was amazed that her tumour had shrunk so much in 5 weeks! Highly recommend this tea!" Y.K. Deagu Korea, www.sirjasonwinters.com "I was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the throat 17 years ago at age 39. I was NOT a smoker and had not had a drink of alcohol for about 13 years at the time. Needless to say, it was a shocking and devastating diagnosis. A few days later, I found myself in the health food store, and a book fell off the shelf on my foot. It was Jason Winters' Killing Cancer. As they say, the rest is history.

Life-Building with Herbalene (Fu Zheng Super Tonic) (Following information has been excerpted from Fu Zheng Therapy by Lynn Shumake, PD, © 2012 Riverhill Wellness Center, http://www.riverhillwellness.com)

Fu Zheng Therapy is a form of traditional Chinese herbalism that literally means "to restore normalcy and balance to the body." It does not specifically treat any infection or disease state but helps rebuild the body’s resistance and innate strength so that it may more effectively contend with the manifestations of the disease. The following formula is based on herbs traditionally used in Fu Zheng Therapy: ASTRAGALUS: The polysaccharides in this plant are thought to be responsible for its deep immune building effects which include increasing the number of macrophages, enhancing T-cell transformation and increasing phagocytosis. Chinese medicine classifies it as a warm, sweet tonic which enhances the functions of the spleen and lung. SCHIZANDRA: Studies have shown the ripe fruit of this plant to be a stimulant herb affecting the central nervous system thus enhancing energy levels and mental acuity; adaptogen for stress, fatigue; enhances performance. It also protects liver cells from fatty degeneration and enhances lymphocyte transformation. The Chinese regard it as a warm, astringent tonic affecting the kidneys and lungs; reduce edema, sweating, and chronic diarrhea. LIGUSTRUM: Derived from fruit of Ligustrum lucidium, China & Far East; kidney tonic; used where there is rapid deterioration of body. Diuretic, cardiac stimulant. Antibacterial. Raise white-blood-cell count. GANODERMA: This fungus, also known as the Reishi mushroom, has been long used as a immuno-supportive herb. Studies show its mechanism of action to involve an increase in T-cell and macrophage activity. In viral hepatitis has improved symptoms of Reference: Fu Zheng Therapy by Lynn Shumake, PD, © 2012 Riverhill Wellness Center, http://www.riverhillwellness.com

anorexia, insomnia, malaise, and liver swelling. Enhances relaxation of muscles and increases sleeping time. Reduces lipids and cholesterol. Treats stomach ulcers and high blood pressure. Sweet & slightly bitter. ATRACTYLODES: This root-herb has been shown to have a protective effect on the liver as well as enhancing phagocytic function of the white blood cells, and increasing their numbers. The Chinese see it as a bitter warming tonic acting on the stomach and spleen; rids body of excess moisture, improves digestion, increases appetite, and reduces fatigue. Used for dizziness, diarrhea, and night sweats. CODONOPSIS: The roots of this plant have been used as a substitute for the more expensive Ginseng but the two may be interchanged as their effects are very similar. They are both used to treat dampness and heat. Clinically they enhance the growth of red blood cells, T-cell formation and increase the level of IgG antibodies in the bloodstream. GLYCYRRHIZA URALENSIS: Licorice is a known anti-viral as well as an anti-bacterial agent. It is classified as a sweet chi (energy) tonic by the Chinese; 50x sweeter than white sugar. Treats acute and chronic viral hepatitis, fevers, and infections. Activates bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interferon mechanism; increases IgG, IgA, and IgM antibody levels. Nourishes adrenal glands.

I was born in 1949. I am a child of the 50s and 60s. When I was young, cancer and many other medical conditions that are so prevalent today were quite rare. When my cousin, David, was diagnosed with cancer in 1969 at the age of 22, I thought that he had been misdiagnosed. Could a man of this age have cancer?" Three years later, in 1972, Dave died from cancer at the age of 25. My cousin was the first person that I knew directly that died from cancer. I am not saying that people did not die from cancer in the 50s and 60s, but cancer at that time was rare enough that I did not know anyone that had died from this disease, until my cousin died in 1972."

Although not harmless, it is surely less toxic than most of the conventional medicines it could replace if it were legally available. Despite its use by millions of people over thousands of years, cannabis has never caused an overdose death." - Testimony of Professor Lester Grinspoon, M.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, before the Crime Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., 1997 "The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this." - Albert Einstein "My First Impression of the U.S.A.", 1921

"I spent most of my working career employed with the hospital system. From the 1970s, up until I was injured in 1997, I watched the exponential growth of cancer and many other conditions that had been considered rare. Every year that went by, the number of people that were stricken with these diseases continued to increase......and so did the death rates. During all these years, I often wondered, what was causing people to succumb to these diseases that were increasing at such an alarming rate?" "In the last few years, through my research, I have come to the conclusion that this increase in disease, is caused by our environment. In our everyday lives, we are surrounded by chemicals, poisons and carcinogens that are wreaking havoc with our immune systems." "Even our food supply, in many cases, is not fit for human consumption! Look at the hormones that are added to our meat! How could this be considered healthy or safe? Seemingly innocent products that we use in everyday life are full of carcinogens and other contaminants. In my estimation, about 90 percent of cancers are caused by our environment.

The U.S. federal government has failed to make public its own 1994 study that undercuts its position that marijuana is carcinogenic - a $2 million study by the National Toxicology Program. The program's deputy director, John Bucher, says the study "found absolutely no evidence of cancer." In fact, animals that received THC had fewer cancers. Bucher denies his agency had been pressured to shelve the report, saying the delay in making it public was due to a personnel shortage. The Boston Globe reported Thursday (1-30-97) that the study indicates not only that the main ingredient in marijuana, THC, does not cause cancer, but also that it may even protect against malignancies, laboratory tests on animals show. The report comes on the heels of an editorial in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine that favors the controlled medical use of marijuana, and calls current federal policy "misguided, heavy-handed and inhumane." The Clinton administration has said that doctors prescribing marijuana could be prosecuted for a federal crime. marijuana has been reported to ease the pain, nausea and vomiting in advanced stages of cancer, AIDS and other serious illnesses, but the federal government claims other treatments have been deemed safer than what it calls "a psychoactive, burning carcinogen." However, The Boston Globe says the government's claim appears to be undercut by its own $2 million study. - BOSTON, Jan. 30, 1997 (UPI)

like Crohn's, diabetes, allergic reactions, etc., has skyrocketed. And no one is doing anything to curb this trend." "Through my research into hemp medicine, I have discovered that properly made hemp oil, is a cure-all that could at least give the public a chance to ward off these illnesses. Throughout man's history, hemp has always been known as man's oldest and safest drug. And hemp is non-addictive! Why is the public being denied the use of this medicine by our system?" "The law that was put in place in 1923, restricting hemp's use, was a total sham! Laws are supposed to be put in place to do the greatest good for the greatest number. In hemp's case this did not happen. This law was put in place to please "big money", so they could increase their profit margins. What do they care if the Canadian public suffer and die due to this drug's restriction. Canadian people put their trust into the Canadian political, medical and legal systems, to do the right thing for the public. Unfortunately, to date, this issue has been ignored. We are in the middle of a CANCER EPIDEMIC. To whom can the public turn?" "In the name of the Canadian people, I am asking this system, to start working for the citizen's of this country and to end this needless suffering and death. I don't care if you work in our political, medical or legal systems, do you not have loved ones who have died for no reason? Why does our system support laws that are so obviously CORRUPT? What chance do any of our loved ones have if changes are not made? "To me, in life, there is only right and wrong. To deny the truth about hemp medicine is a criminal act against the Canadian people! To continue hemp's restriction in medicine, could only be termed "INSANITY". If no one gives a damn, or cares for nothing but themselves, what future does mankind have?

I have been providing people with instructions on how to make Hemp Oil medicines for about 8 years. The results have been nothing short of amazing. Throughout man’s history hemp has always been known as the MOST MEDICINAL PLANT in the world. Even with this knowledge hemp has always been used as a political and religious football. The current restrictions against hemp were put in place and maintained, not because hemp is evil or harmful, but for BIG MONEY to make more big money, while we suffer and die needlessly. Look at a proposal such as this; if we were allowed to grow hemp in our back yards and cure our own illnesses, what do you think the reaction of the pharmaceutical industry would be to such a plan? Many large pharmaceutical companies that still exist today SOLD HEMP based medicines in the 1800′s and early 1900′s. They knew then what I have recently found out. Hemp oil if produced properly is a cure-all that the pharmaceutical industry can’t patent. Two years ago I contacted the Liberals, the Conservatives and the New Democratic Party about this situation. I also provided them with evidence to back up what I was saying. No one lifted a finger, in most cases I Reference: Phoenix Tears, by Rick Simpson, http://phoenixtears.ca/

"It really puzzles me to see marijuana connected with Narcotics - Dope and all that crap…it's a thousand times better than whiskey - it's an Assistant a friend." - Louis Armstrong "The use of marijuana does not lead to morphine or heroin or cocaine addiction and no effort is made to create a market for these narcotics by stimulating the practice of marijuana smoking" - The LaGardia subcommittee of New York 1944 "Most marijuana users do not go on to use other drugs." -"marijuana: Facts for Teens." - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

was lucky to get a reply. I contacted the R.C.M.P. along with many other organizations and Public Interest TV shows, with little or no response. Why are all these people trying to avoid such a simple truth? If I am in some way wrong in what I have been saying then I invite the system to come and prove it. I would be happy to put on a public demonstration of what this oil can do. That would answer this question for the Canadian public once and for all. It seems unbelievable that we have a law in Canada that will not allow us to cure our own diseases with a natural herbal remedy. While much of the evidence for the effectiveness of Hemp is reports from patients and doctors, it is important to realize that this reporting leads to restrictions of drugs and their withdrawal from the market. Such was the case with doctors reporting the birth defects from Thalidomide and heart problems with the Fen-Phen combination of drugs. Further reports led to new uses for Thalidomide as a drug to treat leprosy rather than morning sickness. Anecdotal evidence usually indicates to a doctor that a treatment or drug should be altered, discontinued or changed (â&#x20AC;Ś).

"Cannabis never killed anybody and it's use is widespread. You can"t stop it. The law defeats itself because all the efforts to stop drugs coming in only drives up the prices and then gangsters move in to push the drugs. If they legalised there wouldn't be gangsters and huge profits...The police are gradually decriminalising the possession of cannabis because they realise there's not much point prosecuting" - Judge James Pickles, UK "Prohibition... goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control mans' appetite through legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not even crimes... A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our Government was founded" - President Abraham Lincoln (December 1840) "marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man." -DEA's Administrative Law Judge, Francis Young. Source: US Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Agency, "In the Matter of marijuana Rescheduling Petition," [Docket #86-22], (September 6, 198, p. 57.

The results of the cases can be readily replicated by any practitioner, medical or otherwise, anywhere, to CURE MALIGNANT MELANOMAS and more importantly, SAVE LIVES. The topical application of hemp oil salves or balms helps to control or cure various skin conditions. Taken orally, the oil tends to seek out and destroy cancer cells in the body, but as with any drug, too much can cause side effects; most notable with hemp oil is drowsiness. Unlike opiates and their derivatives, hemp oil is NOT ADDICTIVE. For those who may find it incredible that the medical establishment would ignore or even disdain such research we remind the reader that the history of the medical establishment includes examples of mule-like stubbornness, incompetence, mediocrity, greed, arrogance, and stupidity. Consider the case of Dr. Ignas Semmelweis: In 1847, Dr. Semmelweis, a respected Hungarian physician who was concerned about the high mortality rate of women giving birth in hospital, instituted a procedure at one hospital whereby doctors washed and disinfected their hands before delivering babies. Immediately, the mortality rate dropped from THIRTY percent to near zero. Seven other hospitals followed suit with

"If the words ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ don’t include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn’t worth the hemp it was written on." - Terence McKenna quote on Marijuana "There is only one thing wrong with drug law enforcement, just one – it doesn’t work. And when I tell you this I want you to believe me because I have done it" - Volney Brown Jr., Federal Magistrate-Judge "Cannabis is not an addictive substance; does not cause a motivational syndrome; and health related costs of cannabis use are negligible when compared to the costs attributable to tobacco and alcohol consumption." - Ontario Justice John McCart, 1997, (R. v Clay) "Marijuana is one of the least toxic substances in the whole pharmacopoeia" - Professor Lester Grinspoon, Harvard Medical School, USA "Cannabis smoking does not lead directly to mental or physical deterioration… Those who have consumed marijuana for a period of years showed no mental or physical deterioration which may be attributed to the drug." LaGuardia Commission Report, 1944 "Finally, the fundamental flaw, which will ultimately destroy this prohibition as it did the last one, is that criminal sanctions cannot, and should not attempt to, prohibit personal conduct which does no harm to others." - Robert Sweet, U.S. District Judge, New York

similar results. The European medical establishment recognized Dr. Semmelweis’s achievement by blocking his applications for further research funds, vilifying and ostracizing him, and, ultimately, causing him to lose his prestigious positions at maternity hospitals. In America, the newly formed American Medical Association added insult to injury by threatening to revoke the license of any doctor caught washing his hands. Dr. Semmelweis was so distressed that women continued to die that he suffered a mental breakdown that eventually led to his death in 1865. Don’t expect a doctor working inside the system to BUCK THE SYSTEM. The risks are still too great! The advice she or he offers you is controlled by the large medical industry that makes its money from expensive cancer fighting drugs and treatments. It is an industry that doesn’t look favorably on natural supplements or other cancer treatments that they cannot patent or make a large profit from. Years from now the current conventional cancer treatments used by doctors will on the whole be viewed in the same light that we view the old medical practice of bloodletting to cure illnesses.

"Merck Institute. USA. "The main goals of drug development are effectiveness (efficacy) and safety. Because all drugs can harm as well as help, safety is relative. The difference between the usual effective dose and the dose that produces severe or lifethreatening side effects is called the MARGIN OF SAFETY. The wider the margin of safety, the more useful the drug. If a drug's usual effective dose is also toxic, doctors do not use the drug unless the situation is serious and there is no safer alternative."

Cannabinoids are phytochemicals found in a plant known as Cannabis. The cannabis family has kept their controversial renome since the Golden Age. This controversy is VERY ABSURD because by many cultures the cannabis plant has been seen as THE MOST FAMOUS HEALING PLANT. Throughout the history, many civilizations have been very dependant on cannabis because cannabis is a source of the most durable fiber. The therapeutic use of Cannabis Canadensis (medical marijuana plant) is very rich and dates back to 10.000 BC. Confusing as it may sound, the phytochemicals known as ʽcannabinoids’ do offer 159

strong qualities in regards to protection against radiation exposure! It has been found on a scientific level that Delta-9-TetraHydroCannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (the primary Cannabis Cannabinoids) support the body with POWERFUL neuroprotective, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and immuno-modulatory effects. The research clearly proves that cannabinoids have the ability to PROTECT against diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, senile dementia, HIV dementia, and many others.

In fact, there is much more behind the medical cannabis plant! Besides the active ingredients of cannabinoids, the cannabis plant contains more than 400 other phytonutrients which offer many other health benefits.

California Pacific Senior researcher Pierre-Yves Desprez, in an interview with HealthDay News, noted that the Id-1 genes "are very bad. They push the cells to behave like embryonic cells and grow. They go crazy, they proliferate, they migrate. We need to be able to turn them off." Desprez and fellow researcher Sean D. McAllister joined forces just two years ago. Desprez had been studying the Id1 gene for 12 years; McAllister was a cannabis expert, but not involved in cancer research. Together they found that Id-1 is the "orchestra conductor" that directs breast cancer cells to grow and spread. And that CBD inhibits Id1; it turns it off, puts it to sleep, pick your metaphor.

Cannabis in Cancer Healing In order to understand how Cannabis treats cancer, first we have to understand the mechanism behind it. Earlier in this book you have already came into contact with the term ʽcell apoptosis’. Let’s talk about it for a moment. Every cell in your body has a limited life-span. Fat cells, for instance, live about 12 years. Liver cells have a life span of about 6 months. Red blood cells about 4 months, bone cells about 3 months, sperm cells more than 2 months, and skin cells about 8 hours. There is a constant cycle of life and death happening in our body right now. The process of living and dying, evolving and degenerating is the way nature designed your body. One of the ‘safety mechanisms’of the cell’s death is known as ‘APOPTOSIS’– a process which programs the cells to die on cue. There would be no cancer if apoptosis worked properly. But because of our modern dysfunctional lifestyle, apoptosis does not work very well. On the other side of the battlefield we have ionizing radiation which rips the cell’s DNA apart, and some unlucky cells mutate into cancerous. Cancer is not 162

new and your body is well-equipped with many defense systems which combat cancer cells. But for now, it’s enough to know that "cancer is a disease that is characterized by having too little APOPTOSIS occurring!" The absolute worst case scenario is when the immune system malfunctions completely, when apoptosis stops working, and all other safety mechanisms collapse and allow the cancer cells to grow! One of the significant markings of cancer cells is that these cells remain immortal and that cancer fails to heed normal signals to turn off the growth. As soon as the tumor is big enough, it sends out signals to start angiogenesis – the growth of new blood vessels which nourish the tumor. Add a few years on top of this immune suppression and you have a full blown cancer – you are in a deep trouble! This all can be reversed and prevented by strengthening your immune system with some intense natural healing! APOPTOSIS is a natural process which can be strengthened by corrective healing arts, including nutritional, herbal and other therapies. From the nutritional stand point, these, for example, include alpha-lipoic acid, garlic, capsaicin found in

"Cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana, inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animals. They do so by modulating key cell-signalling pathways, thereby inducing direct growth arrest and death of tumor cells, as well as by inhibiting the growth of blood vessels that supply the tumor." - The study by Manuel Guzmán of Madrid Spain by Steve Kubby, Sierra Times, rense.com 176 "Cancer occurs because cells become immortalized; they fail to heed normal signals to turn off growth. A normal function of remodelling in the body requires that cells die on cue. This is called apoptosis, or programmed cell death. That process fails to work in tumors. THC promotes its reappearance so that gliomas, leukemias, melanomas and other cell types will in fact heed the signals, stop dividing, and die." (…). "The other way that tumors grow is by ensuring that they are nourished: they send out signals to promote angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels. Cannabinoids turn off these signals as well. It is truly incredible, and elegant." - Dr. Ethan Russo , a neurologist and world authority on medical cannabis. Article written by Steve Kubby, Sierra Times, rense.com 176 "Researchers at the Medical College of Virginia, who had been funded by the National Institutes of Health to find evidence that marijuana damages the immune system, found instead that THC slowed the growth of three kinds of cancer in mice - lung and breast cancer, and a virus-induced leukemia." - Article by Steve Kubby, Sierra Times, rense.com 176

cayenne pepper, ginger, green tea, turmeric, Tribulus terestris, bilberry, mangosteen, and saw palmetto. Medical cannabis is also one of them. The active ingredient of cannabinoids, THC, promotes the APOPTOSIS and makes sure the gliomas, leukemias, melanomas and other cell types will at the end heed the signals, stop dividing and die. Simply speaking, cannabis is a powerful cancer-healing plant! Secondly, cannabis phytochemicals turn off the signals promoting ANGIOGENESIS, forcing the tumors to starve to death. In terms of safety, cannabinoids are usually well tolerated, and compared to conventional toxic chemotherapies, they DO NOT cause toxic side effects. In a sentence, cannabis was found to be SUCCESSFUL in REDUCING TUMORS, PERIOD! There is an industry out there which is NOT interested in allowing cancer to be cured. Which one is it? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to you to figure it out! You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to guess twice to be right... Medical cannabis together with banned Chaparral is a true reflection that CANCER IS A PRE-DESIGNED EPICEMIC! There is an industry killing person. Cancer is their tool of choice.

"That's right, news about the abilility of pot to shrink tumors first surfaced, way back in 1974. Researchers at the Medical College of Virginia, who had been funded by the National Institutes of Health to find evidence that marijuana damages the immune system, found instead that THC slowed the growth of three kinds of cancer in mice - lung and breast cancer, and a virus-induced leukemia. The Washington Post reported on the 1974 study - in the "Local" section - on Aug. 18, 1974. Under the headline, "Cancer Curb Is Studied," it read in part: "The active chemical agent in marijuana curbs the growth of three kinds of cancer in mice and may also suppress the immunity reaction that causes rejection of organ transplants, a Medical College of Virginia team has discovered." The researchers "found that THC slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers, and a virusinduced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent." "News coverage of the Madrid discovery has been virtually nonexistent in this country. The news broke quietly on Feb. 29, 2000 with a story that ran once on the UPI wire about the Nature Medicine article," complained MarijuanaNews.com editor Richard Cowan, who said he was only able to find the article through a link that appeared briefly on the Drudge Report Web page. "The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times all ignored the story, even though its newsworthiness is indisputable: a benign substance occurring in nature destroys deadly brain tumors," added Cowan." - Cannabinoids Kill Cancer And Our 'Government' Has Known for 36 Years, By GSA, 2011, rense.com 177

Use your common sense and read between the lines, guys! The world you live in is way worse than it seems at the first place. Cannabis vs. Tobacco Cannabis is often compared to tobacco products in order to close up your eyes! Local authorities believe that the damage caused by smoking tobacco is a reason to prohibit the use of cannabis... Again, I can smell MEDIA cover up in the air. I will make some things straight! In order to understand this, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look deeper into the linkage between health risks of smoking tobacco and cannabis. You may not know but the hard facts clearly show that tobacco induced cancer is not due not to the presence of tar, but due to the use of RADIOACTIVE FERTILIZERS! 130 Yes, you hear me right! Again, it is radiation that is the most dangerous health factor behind the tobacco use. The high radiation dose of radium, polonium and lead found in tobacco plants is a THOUSAND times higher than that from the caesium-137 taken up by the leaves of trees coming from the Chernobyl nuclear accident area. TOBACCO PLANTS ARE PUMPED UP WITH RADIATION.131 A scientific measurement confirms that MOST commercial fertilizers are mildly 165

Lung cancer: is the increasing incidence due to radioactive polonium in cigarettes? â&#x20AC;&#x17E;This paper presents clinical, experimental, and epidemiologic evidence to help explain the rapidly increasing incidence of primary lung cancer, with recently observed reversal in leading cell type from squamous cell to adenocarcinoma. It postulates that this may be due to changes in modern cigarettes, with or without filters, which allow inhalation of increased amounts of radioactive lead and polonium and decreased amounts of benzopyrene. This hypothesis is based upon measurements of increased concentrations of radioactive polonium in the lungs of cigarette smokers, in modern tobaccos grown since 1950, and in high-phosphate fertilizers used for tobacco farming in industrialized countries. Critical support for this thesis is based upon experimental animal studies in which lung cancers that resemble adenocarcinomas are induced with as little as 15 rads of radioactive polonium, equal to one fifth the dosage inhaled by cigarette smokers who average two packs a day during a 25-year period." - Marmorstein J., South Med J. 1986 Feb;79(2):145-50. Pubmed 133 "Surprisingly, the US National Cancer Institute, with an annual budget of $500 million, has no active grants for research on radiation as a cause of lung cancer." - Radioactive tobacco by David Malmo-Levine, (c) 2002 American Computer Scientists Association Inc., acsa2000.net/ 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175

radioactive.132 No jokes! What are these radioactive isotopes doing in tobacco and how do they get in? The answer lies in the mining of Apatite rock. Today, it is well known that Apatite rock contains radioactive polonium-210, lead-210 and radon.133 Note, that radioactive polonium-210 and lead-210 are badly radioactive heavy metals134 – very carcinogenic elements you don’t want your cells get close to. During a mining process of a phosphate, these radioactive elements also get extracted, and are injected into the soil to maximize production. Tobacco is one of THE MOST CHEMICALLY ABUSED plant on this planet! Ordinary vegetables grow in similar fassion: they get in contact with radioactive fertilizers, too. At the end of the day, all plants absorb these isotopes, and such they get into the local supermarket and eventually end on your dinner’s plate. Do you still wonder why there is a cancer epidemic? This is a vital lesson for you to learn. I want you to learn it well! If you want to make things change, support the organic industry, which produces plants with a much better care.

"Lead-210 (Pb-210) and polonium-210 (Po-210) are poisonous, radioactive heavy metals that research has shown to be present in tobacco smoke." - Radioactive Cigarette Smoke, By Terry Martin, About.com 178 "Polonium is the only component of cigarette smoke to produce cancer in laboratory animals." - 10 Polonium Facts, By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D., About.com 179 "Polonium-210, which emits alpha particles, is a natural contaminant of tobacco. For an individual smoking two packages of cigarettes a day, the radiation dose to bronchial epithelium from Po210 inhaled in cigarette smoke probably is at least seven times that from background sources, and in localized areas may be up to 1000 rem or more in 25 years. Radiation from this source may, therefore, be significant in the genesis of bronchial cancer in smokers." - Polonium-210: A Volatile Radioelement in Cigarettes Edward P. Radford, Jr. and Vilma R. Hunt, ScienceMag 180 "Although eating and drinking radioactive products is not beneficial, the most harmful and direct way to consume these elements is through smoking them". - Watson, AP. 'Polonium-210 and Lead-210 in Food and Tobacco Products, Radioactive Tobacco by David Malmo-Levine, www.nascigs.com, Rense.com 182 "Cannabis use did not increase the risk of head and neck cancer." - Cannabis and Respiratory Disease Res. Group 183

For your information, polonium-210 emits alpha radiation, which is much more harmful than beta or gamma radiations. Once it sits on living tissue, it blows nearby cells clean off. Having one of these beta or gamma emitting radionuclides in your body, you’d better start healing your body today. Trust me. Your body is going to need every nutrient – plenty of them, that’s for sure! Let’s move on! The radioactive isotopes which became absorbed by tobacco plants are radon and lead210, both radioactive and heavily toxic.135 It is absolutely NO coincidence that since 1938, the level of polonium-210 in American tobacco has TRIPPLED after the introduction of heavy use of chemical fertilizers. Yes, you read correctly – modern fertilizers which are used for growing plants are radioactive, toxic, lethal, and they cause cancer! This is what the industry calls ‘standard’... do you feel the same? Since the 1930’s, this non-sustainable growing technique has been applied everywhere from crops, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices all the way to tobacco and illegal cannabis. If you contaminate anything green with radiation, toxins, and heavy metals,

"Tobacco smoking has been popular for centuries,163 but lung cancer rates have only increased significantly after the 1930's.164 In 1930 the lung cancer death rate for white US males was 3.8 per 100,000 people. By 1956 the rate had increased almost tenfold, to 31 per 100,000.165 Between 1938 and 1960, the level of polonium 210 in American tobacco tripled, commensurate with the increased use of chemical fertilizers (…).

and if you smoke it, you cause damage. If you are weak, you cause tumors to grow. There are hundreds of scientific studies which confirm what I say. If cannabis were produced in chemical-free soil, and consumed as a tea or tincture, it would be successful in treating cancer. Therefore, it is wise to use high quality soil when growing cannabis for medical purposes.136 Also make sure the country you live in allows cannabis production. Otherwise you might go to jail – with cancer and other health problems! But if you have a green light, it is highly recommended that you use organic fertilizers made of vegetable compost, animal manure, wood ash and seaweed. In comparison to chemical phosphate, it has been proven to be sustainable and non-harmful to microbes, worms, animals, farmers, and consumers. Is cannabis poisonous? Let me put some things straight here! A poison is classified as a chemical that has a specific deadly range for individual species. Cannabis is not poisonous.

The History of Cannabis The history of cannabis speaks volumes, my friend! The first evidence dates back to 10.000 BC all the way to Taiwan. In China, cannabis was known as ‘The Mother of Agricultural Civilization’ because rope and fabric were made from it. The evidence shows that in 2737 BC the Chinese emperor Shen Nong of China was prescribing marijuana tea for the poor memory, rheumatism, treatment of gout, malaria, and many other.137 Since the tea was an efficient remedy even for many incurable diseases, the therapeutic properties of cannabis became famous and quickly spreaded throughout Asia, Middle East, Africa, and India. Hindus used cannabis for religious purposes – because the tea promoted relaxation. Throughout the history, ancient physicians have been prescribing cannabis tea for any type of pain from minor ear-ache to major childbirth. The doctor who in the 18th century first popularized the medical use of cannabis in England and America was an Irish doctor William O’Shaughnessy. Since he was employed by the British East India Company as a physician, he found cannabis to ease pain, which was particularly beneficial

in treating rheumatism. He also found that cannabis eased nausea in cases of cholera, tetanus and Rabies.138 By the end of the 18th century, therapeutic properties of cannabis were listed and the plant’s seeds and roots recommended by American medical journals. In the 19th century less than 5% of the U.S. population was unknowingly addicted to morphine – a secret ingredient in medications. To bring this addiction rate under control, the government introduced the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906 followed by creation of the Food and Drug Administration of the United States. Firstly, it banned production of opium and morphine signing the Harrison Act in 1914. 139 For regulating opium and coca derived drugs, the government levied a tax on non-medical uses of the drugs. Since the tax was much higher than a regular tax, people began smuggling drugs and selling them on the black market. The drug war was on – caused clearly by the US government tax office. Since cannabis was one of the substances pushed through on the black market, the nonmedical use of cannabis became illegal after the US Government passed the Marijuana Tax Act in 1937. Since then the media have taught the population to see cannabis in the same light as opium, cocaine,

heroin, and other dangerous psychedelic addictive drugs or poisons. The US Government was correct – very correct – about making the other drugs illegal, but it COMPLETELY FORGOT about the story of a 3500year-old planet saving lives around the world. 140 The very sad part is that even after hundreds of medical studies on cannabis – which turned out to be positive – the world’s governments keep ignoring the benefits and continue refusing the plant to be legalized. One exception is Holland and the State of California which became the first to legalize medical marijuana in 1996. Since then few other states have followed. The appalling part is that the media have NOT informed the public about neither the scientific and medical studies, nor marijuana’s medicinal properties. This clearly proves that media are corrupted to the bone and CHRONIC DISEASES have been PREDESIGNED for maximizing profits of pharmaceutical companies! (You can find a study list on cannabis in the Appendix of this book.) How can we move forward, if people tend to forget about everything, including the simple stuff such as the oldest domesticated plants known to man? Plants

The legislation flaw is and always WILL BE a clear proof how eager and ignorant HUMAN RACE truly is! Today, pharmaceutical companies are VERY AWARE of the therapeutic properties in cannabis cancer treatment and are actively thriving to isolate the active ingredient â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the magic bullet for cancer. The target of corporations is to patent the substance and make big money out of it! The truth is that they will never achieve it! The healing power of a healing plant works under one condition: all 400 phytochemicals MUST be present and work in harmony! Taking the plant apart into isolated chemicals will just not work!

Cannabis has been drunk around the world as a therapeutic tea and medicine for more than 3500 years. 3500 years – that’s a lot of years! Its use is far superior in comparison to other plants on earth. Cannabis produces more fuel, food and medicine than any other plant on earth! However, because of joy and pleasure we have lost the MOST VALUABLE plant on this planet! A plant which is the master in treating cancer and many other chronic diseases. (Please find The Appendix) Cannabis is bullet-proof in terms of health benefits.141 Don’t support financially the world’s cancer foundations – the bunch of fishy lunatics, thiefs and murderers who have done NOTHING in the last 80 years, but counting deaths and selling car stickers!

Cannabis DOES THE JOB! (The following information was excerpted from: The Benefits of Marijuana: Physical, Psychological & Spiritual by Joan Bello) 220, 221

In a Costa Rican study, it was found that chronic marijuana smokers who also smoked cigarettes were less likely to develop cancer than cigarette smokers who didn’t use marijuana. Since marijuana (smoking, as well as ingestion by other methods) dilates the alveoli, toxins are more easily eliminated with cannabis use regardless of its method of application. Nicotine, on the other hand, constricts the alveoli, so it is likely that the use of cannabis neutralizes, or even overwhelms the constriction, by its own tendency to dilation ...As an aid for all psychosomatic disease, marijuana can benefit the participant, generally because of its health-restoring effects..." The fear of marijuana... stems from its limitless potential for treating illness, in that both the pharmaceutical industry and the medical monopoly would lose billions of dollars if marijuana became the non-drug of choice. (p. 61) „Marijuana ingestion has been shown to change the worried state by producing alpha waves, experienced as well being." (p. 36)

„As the body’s workings can become more harmonious with marijuana, the functioning of the five senses can be noticeably improved ....In our discussion, the trigger to the high experience is marijuana, but many other activities can also produce it, such as jogging, chanting, fasting, isolation, meditation, and prayer." (p. 41) „The marijuana experience itself does not miraculously cure. Instead, it allows the body a respite from the tensions of imbalance, while exposing the mental confusion of the mind. The marijuana experience of balance becomes a learned and, over time, somewhat permanent response as the essential human tendency to homeostasis is reawakened and the natural healing process restored." (p. 49)

Appendix:

Studies on Cannabis in Cancer Treatment

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." - Ralph Waldo Emerson 179

(The following information was excerpted from: Granny Storm Crow's MMJ Reference List- January 2012. Special thanks to the author.)

Cannabis should be treated like any other medicinal herb, because that‘s what it is, just an herbal medicine with a rather pleasant side effect- you feel ―high. Unlike common aspirin, cannabis never kills by overdose. Compared to some pharmaceutical drugs‘ side effects, the ―cotton-mouth‖, ―red eye‖, ―munchies‖ and ―feeling a just bit too good‖ from using cannabis seems so trivial (...)! There are thousands facing the severe nausea of CHEMOTHERAPY- will they be able to keep an anti- nausea pill down long enough for it to work? Wouldn‘t it be simpler to inhale some cannabis vapor, or smoke, and get almost instantaneous relief? In 16 states, YOU CAN! And the pain from cancer? "Medical Marijuana a Success in Israel‖ – "More than two-thirds of cancer patients who were prescribed medical marijuana to combat pain are reportedly satisfied with the treatment" Are we less free than the Israelis? They are free to get legal, prescribed cannabis for cancer pain- are you? Our neighbor, Canada, has legal medical cannabis, and their government grows cannabis for patients! And surprise! The US has 4 federally legal MMJ patients and grows for them. The program is closed. No new patients allowed! Why? And why is cannabis research, all but banned in the US? This prohibitionist foolishness has to end! 2012 is supposed to be a time of change, an ―interesting‖ year. It is time for us to demand a change in the laws on cannabis! We must keep telling the truth, keep presenting the facts to our friends and our families. The facts are there in PubMed- cannabis IS medicine! Our government lies to us about cannabis! And folks- "If the truth won’t do, then something is wrong!" It Is Time for Marijuana to Be RECLASSIFIED as Something Other Than a Schedule I Drug! (2005) 223

13. A. Hunton, "One some of the medical virtues of indigenous vegetables grown in the United States. N.J. Med.

Book: Derrick Jensen, The Culture of Make Believe, Chelsea Green Publishing Company, White River Junction, Vermont (USA), 2004. There are too many passages demanding thoughtful reflection in this book, just on our treatment of the native American Indians, to do it justice here. (And this is only one of the themes of this, Jensen's last tomb). Among the more noteworthy: p. 122 (destruction of heritage); p. 162, 170 (General Sherman's treatment of them); p. 172, 177, 308 (open Indian slaughter); p. 175 (Montezuma slaughter); p. 193 (General Smith's "Burn and kill the natives!" campaign -- "I want no prisoners. I wish you to kill and burn; the more you kill and burn the better you will please me" ... including children down to the age of ten); p. 246 (the holocaust of the Cherokee indians); p. 311 (wipeout of Lakota and Cheyenne people), etc., etc. I had to read this 608 page book twice while in prison. I was too busy silently weeping to catch it all on the first go-around. I underlined the parts that really struck a nerve on the second pass -- which ended up being about 30% of the book. Most people don't read footnotes -- and that's too bad -I would have included this material in the main text (more amplified, of course) if it were more germane to the topic at hand. Actually, in a way, it is. You understand in studying Jensen's work why a sustained medical holocaust would not only be possible in our culture -- it is inevitable, a mere reflection of its very sick, inner nature. © All Rights Reserved. 15.

Hartwell, Plants Used Against Cancer, Quarterman Publications, Inc., Lawrence, Mass., 1982. Section XI: Lloydia 34(4), p. 682. It remains a mystery, even to this author, why despite the depth of Hartwell's work, he only cites one reference to any member of the Larrea genus (Zygophyllaceae Larrea tridentata). Its use among the indians of the U.S. Southwest is extensive, and yet he quotes a "Coville" source, noting "identified from sample of leaves and twigs by Dr. B.G. Schubert, U.S.D.A." Here is the reference Hartwell provides: "National Cancer Institute, central files." For someone like myself who has worked with indigenous sources for chapparal and knows how ubiquitous its use was and is in the Southwest, this, in and of itself, at least carries the appearance of a cover-up, and this, coming from one of Hartwell's biggest fans.

Peter Havasi:

Biography

"Only freedom from prejudice and tireless zeal avail for the most holy of the endeavours of mankind, the practice of the true art of healing." - Samuel Hahnemann, Founder of Homeopathy (1755-1843) 257

Peter Havasi (Nutr.Th, Herb.Th, Irid, Acu, Natur, Hom, Aura, Itec, Bsy) is an independent cancer researcher, historian, speaker, health educator, life-strategist and martial artist. Thomas A. Edison said, "The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his or her patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." In the early years of life he witnessed how his close family members suffered from cancer epidemics. Watching them die slowly in agony, this experience left deep marks in both his heart and soul. Peter Havasi: "There is nothing more important in the world today than to be openminded, reading between the lines, questioning facts, cultivating the big picture perspective and always looking outside of the box. My concept of freedom, wealth and happiness is based on searching for ways how to build physical, emotional and spiritual strengths as well as cultivate an independent mindset. This is what I truly believe in!" Without hesitation, he dropped the world of finance and swapped it for professional sports career and travelling. As a professional mountain- bike guide, he passionately tamed many mountain tracks in various places of the Mediterranean. A fast-paced modern lifestyle didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last for long. After few years the health destructive lifestyle began to reflect itself in forms of various health problems. Finding out that his condition falls into the same category as CANCER, he soon realized that his own health faces the same journey downhill towards the same

258

slaughterhouse his close relatives experienced. Throughout his sports career, Peter’s frame of mind changed into a warrior attitude challenging everything beyond its reach. Peter got the message loud and clear, and he saw gaining his health back another SPORTS CHALLENGE. In a split of a second he threw his career and immediately swapped it for a long and intense healing crusade, exploring ways how to heal diseases, BUILD POWERFUL HEALTH and WIN HIS LIFE BACK. Peter Havasi: "I have always wanted to make something big out of my life. Riding bikes day and night, testing your own boundaries sounds like fun, but there is more than that! At some stage I came to a point, that… it is finding the STRENGTH to face the deepest fears, what makes a man’s life truly BIG!" Peter obtained the knowledge and skills in many healing arts specializing in cancer and other modern epidemics. Among others, Peter got certified in Herbal Healing Arts, Nutritional Healing Arts, Naturopathy, Iridology, Acupressure and Massage, Homeopathy, and Yoga and Pilates. Peter is also a certified Fitness Coach specializing in High- Intensity Excercise. On top of natural healing, Peter also became a student of several martial arts, practicing them daily. His work is based on cancer research, selfpublishing and public education. Peter Havasi: "I see the art of natural healing as the most self-oriented form of martial arts. Even on different levels, both develop strength, power, integrity, toughness, coordination, speed, and balance – amongst others. Both cultivate a powerful character based on discipline, prediction, responsibility, respect, honor… you name it. From my perspective, arts of healing and arts of fighting are ONE and the same." 259

Peter believes that if you learn how to prevent cancer, you will learn how to heal and prevent many other problems which became our modern epidemics. Throughout the healing crusade, Peter explored all possible methods of supporting the body, mind and spirit by natural NOURISHING, CLEANSING, REBALANCING, and STRENGTHENING. Beside strong health followed by endless discipline and passion, Peter also strongly believes in FREEDOM, TRUTH and JUSTICE. With his book series, he shows that the world does possess adequate information resources to PREVENT and HEAL CANCER efficiently with the help of safe natural alternatives. Peter is not afraid to challenge and reveal thousands of studies, bring dead cancer healers back to life, and share their healing stories with YOU. He has led a rebellious, crusading, sacrificing and colorful life to bring the truth into the light. Not many professionals would dare put their professional, financial and social reputations on the line as many times as this courageous maverick has. Peter reveals medical truths and deceptions, often at risk of being labeled heretical. He is driven by passion for living a long and powerful life and wants his readers to share that passion. Their health and well- being comes first. Peter is antidogmatic and unwavering in his dedication to improve the quality of life of his readers. He has repeatedly gone far beyond the call of duty in his work to spread the truth about the history of cancer healing. For several years, he endured economic and physical and social hardship to research independently the history of alternative cancer healing. This learning experience, not to mention his dynamic story telling ability and wit, makes 260

his books uniquely interesting and easy to read. He shares his open-minded opinion to health care, often amazing his readers by telling them how to jumpstart the powers of natural healing and make them work for them. With his work, Peter brings a natural ALTERNATIVE to hospitals, medical doctors, butchery, chemical drugs, and personal physical, emotional and financial bankruptcy caused by our system of disease management. The authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal commitment is to integrate an alternative among standardized dysfunction of chronic diseases with medical doctors, drugs and agonizing surgical operations. Peter dedicated his professional life to building and integrating his practice of health enhancement amongst those who are interested. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called "Building POWERFUL HEALTH", also known as HAVASI LIFE BUILDING. In comparison to the standard treatment, HAVASI Life Building is more fun, far less costly, and it allows you to live your life to the fullest potential!
