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 the modern society. I 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 lifesaving potential. It is also a safe alternative for you unless you are interested in cultivating and maintaining chronic diseases with chemical drugs and barbaric surgeries, as well as the physical, emotional, and financial breakdown that causes 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 a full story behind cancer epidemics. Consider this Cancer Theory 1.0.1. On these pages you will be revealed the story how ionizing radiation infiltrated the energy industry, and thus caused cancer epidemics to become spread around the world. With this volume, I will answer you two important questions: "Why are there different cancer epidemics?" and "What are their foundations?" 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.

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 on types of pleasure different 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 in a battlefield. "You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you." - Walt Disney 18

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 the modern society. THE STOP – START THEORY Healing yourself of cancer and building up powerful health is 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 collateral 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 must to point out that these heavenly assets don’t come for free! EVERYTHING YOU WANT, YOU GOT IT! BUT YOU MUST BE READY TO FIGHT FOR IT!

Chapter 1:

Nutritional Therapy in Cancer Healing

"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" - Hippocrates

„Even though Dr. Lambe’s diet saved lives, he was heavily ridiculed."

(- 1800 AD) William Lambe, M.D.

William Lambe, M.D. (1765-1848) Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians. The father of vegan diet. Behind his breakthrough stands today’s veganism dietary lifestyle.

Working Summary: Lambe’s therapy consisted of a simple, vegetarian diet. Books: "Reports on the Effects of a Peculiar Regimen in Scirrhous Tumors, and Cancerous Ulcers" (1809), "Water and Vegetable Diet in Consumption, Scrofula, Cancer, Asthma, and Other Chronic Diseases" (1815) 'Return to Nature' by John Frank Newton (Dr.Lambe’s patient), ‘Ethics of Diet’ (1883) Howard Williams, (The following information is excerpted from: Dr. William Lambe - father of vegan nutrition, and his vegan biographer by John Davis, Copyright ©2012 VegSource Interactive, Inc. vegsource.com) 15

Our understanding of vegan nutrition has come a long way in the last 200 years, but it had to start somewhere, and William Lambe - Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians was the first to be specific about it way back in 1809. He did his groundbreaking work on the vegan diet 200 years ago, whilst living in London. At age 41, Dr. Lambe was concerned about his own state of health, and changed his diet to EXCLUSIVELY to PLANT FOODS AND DISTILLED WATER. The term ‘vegetable’ in those days included all types of vegetation (as in ‘animal, vegetable or mineral’), so the ‘vegetable diet’ as it was 22

"My reason for objecting to every species of matter to be used as food, except the direct produce of the earth, is founded on the broad ground that no other matter is suited to the organs of man. This applies then with the same force to eggs, milk, cheese, and fish, as to flesh meat." Dr. Lambe "John Abernethy was a leading English surgeon and teacher who specialized in removing and classifying tumors. However, he recognized that surgery was accomplishing little. "I have known a patient to die soon after an operation for removal of a cancer of not great magnitude, merely in consequence of the shock." In his writings, Abernethy called attention to William Lambe, M.D., of London, who in 1809 published a paper recommending a diet of fruits, vegetables, and pure water as a cure for a variety of diseases including cancer." Vance Ferrell, Alternative Cancer Remedies (1998) 16 "There can be no subject which I think more likely to interest the mind of a surgeon than that of an endeavor to amend and alter the state of a cancerous constitution. The best timed and best conducted operation brings it nothing but disgrace if the diseased propensities of the constitution are active and powerful. It is after an operation that, in my opinion, we are most particularly incited to regulate the constitution, lest the disease should be revived or renewed by its disturbance." "...It seems to me very proper and desirable that the powers of the regimen recommended by Dr. Lambe should be fairly tried, for the following reasons(...)"

commonly known, included fruits, grains, nuts, beans etc. Most people following this diet included cow’s milk, but Dr. Lambe did NOT – and he kept to his STRICTLY Vegetable/Vegan Diet for the REST OF LIFE, still looking good near the end 41 years later (…). Lambe’s books were widely read on both sides of the Atlantic. He was the first bringing vegetarian regiment into light. Lambe remains a golden legend in the world of Nutritional Therapy.

"Eat as wide a variety of plant foods in as unprocessed a form as possible." - Susan Havala, R.D. "(...)1st, - Because I know some persons who, whilst confined to such a diet, have enjoyed very good health, and I have further known several persons, who did try the effects of such a regimen, declare that it was productive of considerable benefit. They were not indeed affected with cancer; but they were induced to adopt a change of diet to allay a state of nervous irritation, and correct disorder of the digestive organs, upon which medicine has had but little influence. [p.147]" "2nd, - Because it appears certain that, in general, the body can be perfectly nourished by vegetables "3rd, It seems sufficiently ascertained that diseases have, in some persons, been excited by water, and therefore it is desirable that whatever is used should be made as pure as possible. "4th, - Because all great changes of the constitution are more likely to be effected by alterations of diet and modes of life than by medicine. "5th, - Because it holds out a source of hope and consolation to the patient in a disease in which medicine is known to be unavailing, and surgery offers no more than a temporary relief." Surgical Observations on Tumours." By Mr. Abernethy, The Life Of William Lambe, M.D., Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, by E. Hare, C.S.I. Inspector- General Of Hospitals (1897) 17

Dr. Lambe’s therapy: William Lambe strongly promoted the use of distilled water as THE ONLY HEALTHY DRINK FOR HUMANS – partly due to the awful condition of the public water supply in early 19th century England. During this period Dr. Lambe promoted plantbased foods, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, herbs, spices, and grains. He adopted this diet himself in 1806 on the basis of his own medical condition when he was 41 and kept to it for the rest of his life. It must have worked as he was 82 – a RIPE OLD AGE by early 19th century standards – when he died. If he was able to run on plant-based foods for his entire life, I know that YOU CAN DO IT, TOO!

Evidence from a broad scientific literature suggests: A. Rates for at least six common types of cancer, country by country, correlate with the consumption of animal source food. B. There is a modest negative correlation with these cancers and plant source food consumption. C. A variety of phytochemicals present in plant foods have been demonstrated to be protective against the DNA damage that leads to cancer. D. The vegan diet, extolled by its advocates for at least 150 years as a cancer preventive strategy, is the logical end point of the dietary recommendations, now made by scientific organizations, to reduce animal food consumption. E. A recent clinical review 19 concluded: "Up to 80% of bowel and breast cancer may be preventable by dietary change... Diet contributes to varying extent to the risk of many other cancers, including cancers of the lung, prostate, stomach, esophagus, and pancreas... Generally, fruit, vegetables, and fiber have a protective effect, whereas red and processed meat increases the risk of developing cancer."

„Graham is one of the strongest dietary revolutionaries."

(- 1820 AD) Sylvester Graham (- 1850 AD) Ellen G. White

Sylvester Graham (1794- 1851) was an early advocate of dietary reform in the United States and was most notable for his emphasis on vegetarianism and the temperance movement, as well as dietary habits.

Working Summary: was an American dietary reformer, Inventor of graham flour and the graham cracker Books written by Graham: Treatise on Bread and Bread- Making (1837), Lectures on the Science of Human Life (1839), Lectures to Young Men on Chastity (1840), The Philosophy of Sacred History Considered in Relation to Human Aliment and the Wines of Scripture (1855) (The following information is excerpted from: Sylvester Graham (1795- 1851), USA: 19th Century, © International Vegetarian Union (IVU), www.ivu.org, from Burrows, Edwin G. and Mike Wallace, Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898; New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1999 20- 25

Sylvester Graham was an American Presbyterian minister (ordained in 1826) who preached on temperance and stressed whole-wheat flour and vegetarian diets. He was known for his graham crackers. His Graham Journal of Health and Longevity preached his principles of good health. (…) Graham had many devoted followers, known as Grahamites, who slavishly followed his principles, which included temperance, sexual restraint, and baths, in addition to vegetarianism. He was so famous that his lectures on

"In the United States, researchers studied Seventh- day Adventists, a religious group that is remarkable because, although nearly all members avoid tobacco and alcohol and follow generally healthful lifestyles, about half of the Adventist population is vegetarian, while the other half consumes modest amounts of meat. This fact allowed scientists to separate the effects of eating meat from other factors. Overall, these studies showed significant reductions in cancer risk among those who avoided meat.25 In contrast, Harvard studies showed that daily meat eaters have approximately three times the colon cancer risk, compared to those who rarely eat meat. A number of hypotheses have been advanced to explain the connection between meat consumption and cancer risk. First, 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." Meat Consumption and Cancer Risk, Physicians Committee for responsible medicine. PCRM.org 25

proper living were attended by thousands, and he was able to hold his audiences spellbound. He had many disciples who also worked diligently to further the vegetarian cause. When the British Vegetarian Society was founded in 1847, he helped found a similar group in America (American Vegetarian Society). In 1831 and 1832, at the invitation of New York's temperance leadership, Philadelphia activist Sylvester Graham delivered lectures on the relationship between diet and disease. New Yorkers, Graham argued, had been fatally weakened in their ability to resist epidemics by the improper eating habits spawned by big- city life. Graham opposed the use of stimulants- not only liquor, wine, and cider but tea, coffee, and tobacco too. He advocated vegetarianism. He denounced urban bakers who used 'refined' flour- stripped of husks and dark oleaginous germ and whitened with 'chemical agents'- - because it baked more quickly than traditional bread, even though the result was an almost crustless loaf without granular texture or nutritional value. He railed, too, against marketplace milk, much of which came from cows fed on leftover distillery mash (swill), with the anemic, liquor-inflected product made presentable by the addition of chalk, plaster of Paris, and molasses.

"In 2007, the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) published their second review of the major studies on food, nutrition, and cancer prevention. For cancers of the oesophagus, lung, pancreas, stomach, collorectum, endometrium, and prostate, it was determined that red meat (beef, pork, or lamb) and processed meat consumption possibly increased cancer risk. For colorectal cancer, a review of the literature determined that there is convincing scientific evidence that red meat increased cancer risk and that processed meat, saturated/animal fat, and heavily cooked meat were also convincing of increased risk. World Cancer Research Fund. Food, nutrition, physical activity, and the prevention of cancer: A global perspective. Grilling or broiling meat over a direct flame results in fat dropping on the hot fire and the production of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon- containing flames. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) adhere to the surface of food, and the more intense the heat, the more PAHs are present. They are widely believed to play a significant role in human cancers.32 A fairly consistent association between grilled or broiled, but not fried, meat consumption and stomach cancer implies that dietary exposure to PAHs may play a role in the development of stomach cancer in humans. 26 Countries with a higher intake of fat, especially fat from animal products, such as meat and dairy products, have a higher incidence of breast cancer." 27, 28, 29

During the 19th century in America, regular doctors- - that is, the allopaths- - were accused of quackery by people who demanded that medicine evolve past the use of bloodletting, leeches, and poisons like mercury. Among the foremost activists opposing the drug therapists and offering another option was New York City's own Russell Trall, M.D., who was also a leading advocate of vegetarianism.

In Japan, for example, the traditional diet is much lower in fat, especially animal fat, than the typical western diet, and breast cancer rates are low. In the late 1940s, when breast cancer was particularly rare in Japan, less than 10 percent of the calories in the Japanese diet came from fat.30 The American diet is centered on animal products, which tend to be high in fat and low in other important nutrients, with 30 to 35 percent of calories coming from fat. When Japanese girls are raised on westernized diets, their rate of breast cancer increases dramatically. Even within Japan, affluent women who eat meat daily have an 8.5 times higher risk of breast cancer than poorer women who rarely or never eat meat.31 One of the proposed reasons is that fatty foods boost the hormones that promote cancer." According to new findings from the Shanghai Women's Health Study, soy food intake provides protection against premenopausal breast cancer when consumed during adolescence and as an adult. The usual dietary intake of 73,223 Chinese women during adulthood and adolescence was assessed after a mean follow- up of 7.4 years. Those with the highest intake of soy protein or isoflavone versus those with the lowest had about half the risk of premenopausal breast cancer regardless of age at time of consumption. No significant association with soy foods was found for postmenopausal breast cancer.18 Meat Consumption and Cancer Risk, Physicians Committee for responsible medicine. PCRM.org 25

drugless, natural medicine were convinced that flesh foods had no place on the menu. In 1852, Trall founded the New York HygieoTherapeutic College, the first medical school to admit women on equal terms with men. Trall was influenced by Sylvester Graham and Isaac Jennings, M.D., who taught that the body is governed by natural laws originating from God and verified by observation. Trall contended that when these laws were broken, sickness and death could result. A frugivorous diet- - as mandated in Genesis and verified as natural for human beings by 19th- century studies of human anatomy- - was one of the laws. When illness developed, rather than suppressing symptoms the drugless doctors sought to remove the causes. Once the causes were removed, the body tended to heal itself. Trall maintained that drugs harmed the body; they did not act upon the body but the body acted upon the drugs. For example, a laxative drug seemed to work only because the body rejected it. The drug itself did not cause the bowels to work. Trained as an allopath, Trall had observed patients who had become well without drug intervention and those who had been made sicker by drugs. He noticed how the body was helped when patients were prescribed rest, "vegetable diets," treatments such as Reference: Russell Trall: A visionary doctor By Karen Iacobbo in the VivaVine, from vivavegie.org,

The consumption of highfat foods such as meat, dairy products, fried foods, and even vegetable oils causes a woman’s body to make more estrogens, which encourage cancer cell growth in the breast and other organs that are sensitive to female sex hormones. This suggests that, by avoiding fatty foods throughout life, hormone- related cancer risk decreases. A 2003 study, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, found that when girls ages eight to ten reduced the amount of fat in their diet—even very slightly—their estrogen levels were held at a lower and safer level during the next several years. By increasing vegetables, fruits, grains, and beans, and reducing animal- derived foods, the amount of estradiol (a principal estrogen) in their blood dropped by 30 percent, compared to a group of girls who did not change their diets.33 Harvard researchers recently conducted a prospective analysis of 90,655 premenopausal women, ages 26 to 46, enrolled in the Nurses’ Health Study II and determined that intake of animal fat, especially from red meat and highfat dairy products, during premenopausal years is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Increased risk was not associated with vegetable fats.34 Meat Consumption and Cancer Risk, Physicians Committee for responsible medicine. PCRM.org 25

massage and hydrotherapy (the "water cure"), and direction to fill the mind with higher thoughts. Trall was a sought- after doctor who even lectured at the Smithsonian Institution during the Civil War on behalf of soldiers. The doctor published more than a dozen books, which found an audience hungry to help themselves and to avoid the horrors and the sometimes fatal results of the regular doctors' medicine. Hygieo- therapeutic Dr. Trall told his students that his practice was not lucrative, and the only reason they should become physicians was that they wanted to help the sick and teach them how to avoid sickness in the future. Trall's views about medicine led to his vegetarianism and a vice presidency of the American Vegetarian Society. Like other vegetarians of his time, he abhorred cruelty to animals. In the 20th century, Herbert Shelton studied and then expanded Trall's work, which is today known as natural hygiene. Yet more than 100 years after Trall's death, and after billions of tax- payer dollars have been spent on health care, the nation has yet to examine the drugless doctor's ideas seriously (…).

Prostate cancer is one of the leading cancers among men in the U.S., and researchers have explored a number of possible dietary factors contributing to prostate cancer risk. These include dietary fat, saturated fat, dairy products, and meat, as well as dietary factors that may decrease risk, such as the consumption of carotenoids and other antioxidants, fiber, and fruit. As with breast cancer risk, a man’s intake of dietary fat, which is abundant in meat and other animal products, increases testosterone production, which in turn increases prostate cancer risk. One of the largest nested casecontrol studies, which showed a positive association between prostate cancer incidence and red meat consumption, was done at Harvard University in an analysis of almost 15,000 male physicians in the Physicians’ Health Study.35 Although this study primarily analyzed plasma fatty acids and prostate cancer risk, the authors found that men who consumed red meat at least five times per week had a relative risk of 2.5 for developing prostate cancer compared to men who ate red meat less than once per week. The most comprehensive dietary cohort study on diet and prostate cancer risk reported on nearly 52,000 health professionals in Harvard’s Health Professionals Follow- Up Study, which completed food frequency questionnaires in 1986.36 The report, based on 3 to 4 years of follow- up data, found a statistically significant relationship between higher red meat intake and the risk of prostate cancer, with red meat as the food group with the strongest positive association with advanced prostate cancer. These and other study findings suggest that reducing or eliminating meat from the diet reduces the risk of prostate cancer.37 Meat Consumption and Cancer Risk, Physicians Committee for responsible medicine.

Although not as extensively studied as breast, colon, and prostate cancer risk, a number of studies have concluded that meat consumption may play a significant role in kidney and pancreatic cancer risk. Three of eight casecontrol studies examining the relationship between renal cell carcinoma and meat consumption found a statistically significant increase in risk with a high consumption of meat. In addition, a prospective study in Japan found that people consuming meat daily had higher death rates from kidney cancer than those eating meat less frequently.38 Red meat and high glycemic index foods could be risk factors for kidney cancer, according to a 2009 study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. Researchers studied food questionnaires for 335 people with renal cell carcinoma, the most common form of kidney cancer, and 337 healthy controls. They found that men and women who ate red meat five or more times a week were more than four times as likely to develop the disease, compared to those who consumed red meat less than once a week. The study also found that white bread, white potatoes, and other high glycemic index foods increased the cancer risk threefold. High glycemic index foods affect insulinlike growth factors, which impact tumor development.39 Pancreatic cancer is relatively uncommon, yet it is frequently fatal, with fewer than 20 percent of cases surviving for one full year. Daily meat intake has been shown to be associated with increased pancreatic cancer risk in a number of prospective, cohort, and casecontrol studies.38 Some of these studies have singled out beef and pork consumption and have concluded there is a higher risk for pancreatic cancer with a higher intake of these foods.38 According to a new study, fat from red meat and dairy products is associated with increased risk of pancreatic cancer. As part of the National Institutes of Health- AARP Diet and Health Study, researchers followed and analyzed the diets of more than 525,000 Reference: Meat Consumption and Cancer Risk, Physicians Committee for responsible medicine.

participants to determine whether there is an association between dietary fat and pancreatic cancer. This same study found no association between plant- food fat and pancreatic cancer. 40 A recent study in the British Journal of Cancer found that vegetarians are 12 percent less likely to develop cancer than meateaters. After following 61,000 meateaters and vegetarians for over 12 years, researchers also discovered that cancers of the bloodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;such as leukemia, multiple myeloma, and non- Hodgkin lymphomaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;were drastically reduced by as much as 45 percent for those following a vegetarian diet. Although this study points to an overall reduced risk, this may well be an underestimate of the benefit of a vegetarian diet. Previous studies have shown as much as a 40 percent reduced risk for all cancers.41 Conclusion: Two themes consistently emerge from studies of cancer from many sites: vegetables and fruits help to reduce risk, while meat, animal products, and other fatty foods are frequently found to increase risk. Consumption of dietary fat drives production of hormones, which, in turn, promotes growth of cancer cells in hormonesensitive organs such as the breast and prostate. Meat is devoid of the protective effects of fiber, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and other helpful nutrients, and it contains high concentrations of saturated fat and potentially carcinogenic compounds, which may increase oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk of developing many different kinds of cancer. Vegetarian diets and diets rich in high- fiber plant foods such as whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits offer a measure of protection.41 Fiber greatly speeds the passage of food through the colon, effectively removing carcinogens, and fiber actually changes the type of bacteria that is present in the intestine, so there is reduced production of carcinogenic secondary bile acids. Plant foods are also naturally low in fat and rich in antioxidants and other anticancer compounds. Not surprisingly, vegetarians are at the lowest risk for cancer and have a significantly reduced risk compared to meateaters.42 Reference: Meat Consumption and Cancer Risk, Physicians Committee for responsible medicine.

In 1885, Dr. Bulkley organized the New York Skin and Cancer Hospital (NYSCH), where he served as director of for many years. This distinguished physician gradually became convinced that SURGERY WAS USELESS, and that a careful, nourishing diet was THE ANSWER. Extensively read, Bulkley began to widely publish his ideas. Article after article came from his pen, criticizing surgery and advocating natural methods. 32

"Diet and cancer prevention: Contributions from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study: We present the main findings observed to date from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) on dietary factors associated with the most frequent cancer sites. METHODS: EPIC is a multicentre prospective study carried out in 23 centres in 10 European countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom, including 519,978 participants (366,521 women and 153,457 men), most aged 35- 70 years. RESULTS: We observed the following significant associations: gastric cancer risk was inversely associated with high plasma vitamin C, some carotenoids, retinol and αtocopherol, high intake of cereal fibre and high adhesion to Mediterranean diet, while red and processed meat were associated with increased risk. High intake of dietary fibre, fish, calcium, and plasma vitamin D were associated with a decreased risk of colorectal cancer, while red and processed meat intake, alcohol intake, body mass index (BMI) and abdominal obesity were associated with an increased risk. High intake of fruit and vegetables in current smokers were associated with a decreased risk of lung cancer(…)."

Bulkley was one of the first to openly admit that biopsies (removing a small slice of the tumor for examination) only spread the cancer and caused the patient to DIE FASTER. In 1921, the special ward, which he had been given at the hospital he founded, was closed to him. That same year, the Journal of the AMA published a letter from the board of the NYSCH, declaring, that it had eliminated Bulkley from its staff because HIS WORK WAS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE HOSPITAL. In 1924, he published the results of 250 cases of breast cancer eliminated without surgery.

"(…) An increased risk of breast cancer was associated with high saturated fat intake and alcohol intake. In postmenopausal women, BMI was positively and physical activity negatively associated with breast cancer risk. High intake of dairy protein and calcium from dairy products and high serum concentration of IGF- I were associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer. These results contribute to scientific evidence for appropriate public health strategies and prevention activities aimed at reducing the global cancer burden." - Gonzalez CA, Riboli E., Programme of Epidemilogical Cancer Research, Institut Català d'Oncologia, L'Hospitalet, Barcelona, Spain.

"Whenever and however possible; No day without green leaves." - Dr Benner

Maximilian Oskar Bircher was born in Switzerland on August 22, 1867. After studying medicine in Zurich, the young doctor opened a general practice in Zurich's industrial quarter. During the first year his practice was open, Bircher- Benner fell ill with a slight case of jaundice. It is said that by eating raw apples, the doctor was soon healed. Bircher- Benner became more and more convinced of the healing power of raw fruits and 36

"Dr Bircher Benner stumbled upon his discovery, when one day, a lady suffering from a gastric disorder visited him, but no treatment proved to be effective and her condition grew worse day- by- day. On the suggestion of one of his friends,Dr. Bircher Benner decided to treat he with a diet of raw vegetables and fruit. It is no surprise today that the woman recovered. Dr Bircher Benner concluded that "It was the deterioration of foodstuffs, generally taking place during cooking and other processing, that was at the root of many evils." For a civilization, so used to the excessive consumption of meat and white flour products, it’s no surprise that these famous Western dieticians and nutritionists were able to bring about "miraculous cures". The fundamental principles that they discovered, are valid even today, in this age of vitamin supplements, gym exercises and unbelievably stupid dietary fads, such as the Atkins diet.

vegetables. Between 1895 and 1900 he conducted numerous nutritional experiments with raw vegetables on himself, his family and even the patients who seemed appropriate. He finally developed the dish that has become a classic around the globe, Bircher Muesli. In November 1897, Bircher- Benner opened a small private clinic for dietetics and physical healing methods on the Asylstrasse in Zurich. In 1904 the newly qualified doctor of medicine, who was finally housed in the villa district on Zurichberg, opened a new sanatorium in a sunny southwestern location. It was called "Vital Force," which is a key term from the German lifestyle reform movement which states that people should pattern their lives after the logic determined by nature, thereby living in harmony with nature. The clinic's reputation soon spread outside Switzerland and patients included princes and industry moguls, musicians and literary figures. The new nutritional value teachings of Bircher- Benner were a stark contrast to the usual dietary notions, according to which the value of foodstuffs was measured by its protein and calorie content. According to Bircher- Benner, food should no longer be just a means to satiate hunger or feast upon, more importantly it should keep the body healthy. Meals should contain little or no meat with potatoes, dark bread, milk and milk products. Dr. Bircher- Benner died on January 24, 1939 at the age of 72. He did not live to see the opening of the "People's Sanatorium for a Lifestyle Based on Nature." Thanks to the donation of a patient, this sanatorium, run according to his ideas, was opened in the same year in Zurich. In addition, the "Vital Force" Sanatorium was renamed as the "BircherBenner Clinic" in his memory in 1939.

Jethro Kloss was born in Wisconsin, at about the turn of the century. He was deeply influenced by the books and teachings on diet and health of Ellen G. White, we mentioned earlier. As a young man he took courses in hydrotherapy and electrotherapy at the Battle Creek Sanitarium. As a young man he learned to study and follow the LAWS OF NATURE, of life, and of health.

"A true diet is not based on calories but on the organic elements that give and sustain life. Our most common and serious diseases are caused by wrong eating and drinking. This has been proven by numerous scientific experiments in recent years. Food is a substance that, when absorbed by the blood stream, will nourish, repair, and furnish life force and heat to the body. But in it’s preparation and refining the life- giving elements are taken away, it cannot furnish life force but will distort the functional activity of the body and result in many disorders. Actually, many diseases are nature’s effort to free the system of poisons and congestions resulting from wrong eating and drinking. When we assist nature in expelling impurities and re- establishing right conditions in the system we can overcome disease. The whole world needs more vitamins, better cooks, more care exercises in the preparation of food and less spacious hospitals."

life was HELPING OTHERS, and especially helping them to get well and to live better. In the early 1900s, Kloss and his wife operated a branch of the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Rose Lawn, Wisconsin, and later in 1907 a Home Sanitarium in St. Peter, Minnesota. Natural healing methods such as HYDROTHERAPY, HERBS, AND A HEALTHFUL VEGETARIAN DIET were practiced in each place. For a number of time Jethro Kloss operated a healing sanitarium in Minnesota and later established and ran health- food factories. Kloss recognized that a healthful diet was CRUCIAL to good health. In 1939, his lifelong magnum opus, Back to Eden, was finally published. Down through the decades that followed, it has remained an important family remedy guide for many common folk. His final years were spent about 15 miles from the home of the present writer, in Coalmont, Tennessee. In June 1946 he died there at age 83.

"Approximately 200 studies that examined the relationship between fruit and vegetable intake and cancers of the lung, colon, breast, cervix, esophagus, oral cavity, stomach, bladder, pancreas, and ovary are reviewed. A statistically significant protective effect of fruit and vegetable consumption was found in 128 of 156 dietary studies in which results were expressed in terms of relative risk. For most cancer sites, persons with low fruit and vegetable intake (at least the lower one- fourth of the population) experience about twice the risk of cancer compared with those with high intake, even after control for potentially confounding factors. For lung cancer, significant protection was found in 24 of 25 studies after control for smoking in most instances. Fruits, in particular, were significantly protective in cancers of the esophagus, oral cavity, and larynx, for which 28 of 29 studies were significant. Strong evidence of a protective effect of fruit and vegetable consumption was seen in cancers of the pancreas and stomach (26 of 30 studies), as well as in colorectal and bladder cancers (23 of 38 studies). For cancers of the cervix, ovary, and endometrium, a significant protective effect was shown in 11 of 13 studies, and for breast cancer a protective effect was found to be strong and consistent in a meta analysis. It would appear that major public health benefits could be achieved by substantially increasing consumption of these foods." - Block G, Patterson B, Subar A., Dept. of Social and Administrative Health Sciences, School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley 46

The DIET included a fruit diet, FRUIT JUICES, VEGETABLE JUICES—especially carrot juice. After a few days, if the patient was quite thin, he should receive a VEGETABLE BROTH composed of the cooked juice of a large number of vegetables. Tomatoes should be eaten alone. Fruit and vegetables (or their juices) were never to be eaten at the same meal. DEEP BREATHING while WALKING OUTDOORS, especially in the SUNLIGHT, was considered important. Frequent SWEAT BATHS should be taken, with a COLD TOWEL around the neck and an ice bag over the heart (if there is any heart trouble). ALTERNATE HOT AND COLD WATER APPLICATIONS should be applied to the liver, stomach, spleen, and spine.

Isoflavones are considered to be possible selective estrogen receptor modulators but possess nonhormonal properties that also may contribute to their effects." Nutrition Matters, Inc., WA, USA. 48 "Isoflavones contained in soy may effect the development of breast cancer by competing with the body‘s own estrogens in binding to estrogen receptors. They may also lower breast cancer risk by increasing sex hormone binding globulin, which reduces blood estrogen levels (...). research suggests that soy isoflavones may inhibit the aromatization of circulating androgens to estrogens in postmenopausal women (...). there is evidence that soy protein (without isoflavones) can suppress the development of mammary cancer in an animal model." Greater soy consumption associated with lower breast cancer risk in women 47 "Taken together, both in vivo and in vitro studies have clearly shown that genistein, one of the major soy isoflavones, is a promising reagent for cancer chemoprevention and/or treatment. In this article, we attempt to provide evidence for these effects of genistein in a succinct manner to provide comprehensive state- of- the- art knowledge of the biological and molecular effects of the isoflavone genistein in cancer cells."

In 1935, while living in Washington, D.C., after several decades of studying and writing, Kloss published the first edition of what was to become his magnum opus, Back to Eden. A revised and greatly expanded edition was published in 1939. This edition became extremely popular in the late 1960s and by 1986 had sold almost 3 million copies. Here he set forth his method of natural self healing based on herbs, a diet that used NO MEAT, DAIRY PRODUCTS, or EGGS, and a life in harmony with the laws of health and nature. He opposed the use of sugar, spices, pepper, mustard, vinegar, and fermented foods. He recommended the use of SOYMILK in numerous healing diets and considered it far better than cow's milk. Kloss' main contribution to soy foods was the more than 50 creative American- style soy foods recipes he developed in Back to Eden. These included soymilk and tofu, and many dairy like products made from them, including cream cheese, cheese, soy & nut cheese, soymilk cottage cheese and cottage cheese loaf, soy buttermilk, soymilk cream (soymilk with oil whipped in), soymilk ice cream (America's second recipe for it), and soy butter (made from soy flour). Other recipes included canned soybeans, soybean coffee, soy sprouts, sprouts with rice, okara & brown rice patties, soy loaf, soymilk aspic or jelly, mock egg yolks, soymilk & okara pancakes, soymilk gravy, soy oil mayonnaise, soymilk pumpkin pie, whole wheat breads with soy flour and okara, soy & wheat spaghetti, and many soups using soymilk. Kloss called soybeans "THE KING OF BEANS." Also in the book he included a 4- page statement excerpted from Dr. J.A. LeClerc of the USDA (Sept. 1936) stating that "The soybean is going to REVOLUTIONIZE the future of humanity."

Jethro Kloss once said, "I have been asked many times what my cancer cure is. Here it is in a nutshell: CORRECT FOOD, HERBS, WATER, FRESH AIR, MASSAGE, SUNSHINE, EXERCISE, AND REST." Kloss was a master – a naturopath proving that YOUR BODY has the ability, power and knowledge to heal of cancer and other diseases, and that if you set up the proper healthy lifestyle and healing environment for this to happen – well, then YOUR BODY can and will heal itself of any illness, any disease. His message states loud and clear: ‘STOP doing what made you sick and START doing what will help your body to heal itself.’ As a naturopath, Jethro Kloss was so successful and so eloquent that by the 1930’s he was in demand as a speaker, and therefore he traveled widely. Jethro Kloss is a TRUE LEGEND in the world of natural healing. His natural healing theories are strong and simple. And they SIMPLY WORK!

Adolescent and adult soy food intake and breast cancer risk: results from the Shanghai Women's Health Study. "Adult soy food consumption, measured either by soy protein or isoflavone intake, was inversely associated with the risk of premenopausal breast cancer, and the association was highly statistically significant (P for trend < 0.001). The multivariate-adjusted relative risks (RRs) for the upper intake quintile compared with the lowest quintile were 0.41 (95% CI: 0.25, 0.70) for soy protein intake and 0.44 (95% CI: 0.26, 0.73) for isoflavone intake. High intake of soy foods during adolescence was also associated with a reduced risk of premenopausal breast cancer (RR: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.34, 0.97). Women who consumed a high amount of soy foods consistently during adolescence and adulthood had a substantially reduced risk of breast cancer. No significant association with soy food consumption was found for postmenopausal breast cancer. CONCLUSION: This large, population-based, prospective cohort study provides strong evidence of a protective effect of soy food intake against premenopausal breast cancer." - Lee SA, Shu XO, Li H, Yang G, Cai H, Wen W, Ji BT, Gao J, Gao YT, Zheng W., Division of Epidemiology, Department of Medicine, Vanderbilt Epidemiology Center, Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN 372031738, USA 52

Jethro Kloss was a PASSIONATE promoter of soybeans. One of the health benefits of soybeans is its rich content of proteins and other healing substances. What are proteins? Well, proteins are a class of nutrients made of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. When mixing these atoms in different patterns, we get compounds known as amino acids, which are the building blocks of YOUR body. About half of the non-water mass of your body, including hair, nails, skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, tissue, organs, bones and teeth, is made of protein.9 Altogether there are 22 amino acids. 13 amino acids can be produced by the liver, however, it is important to note that the other 9 cannot be made by YOUR body, and therefore MUST be obtained from YOUR diet. These 9 amino acids are known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Obtaining them, your 43

Enhanced oxidative damage induced by total body irradiation in mice fed a low protein diet., Department of Food Science Research for Health "Mice fed a low protein diet became susceptible to TBI- induced oxidative damage, and a decrease in antioxidants and an increase in iron are involved in the mechanism of this susceptibility."

Adequate intakes of vitamin E and protein prevent increases of oxidative damage to DNA, lipids, and protein induced by total body irradiation in mice "We examined the influence of the level of dietary protein or vitamin E (VE) on oxidative damage to DNA, lipids, and protein in the liver after total body irradiation (TBI) with X- rays at 1 or 4 Gy. .. .. Mice fed a 1% protein diet became susceptible to TBIinduced oxidative damage, and decreases in antioxidant levels and an increase in iron level were involved in the mechanism of this susceptibility." - Shin SJ, Yamada K., Department of Food Science Research for Health, National Institute of Health and Nutrition, Tokyo, Japan. 54

body can make hundreds of different proteins that repair your body and perform many different functions. Proteins are an ESSENTIAL COMPONENT of your daily diet. More than 15 years of research clearly show that OPTIMAL LEVELS of the protein intake from vegetable sources help your body to repair tissue, maintain enzymatic function and cellular turnover. It also regulates hormones, controls metabolism, balances PH, produces blood cells, improves joint integrity, enhances immune function, and much more! THE WORKOUT: Finding the right protein based healing foods is a question of QUALITY. The WORST sources of amino acids are industrially farmed beef, dairy, fish and birds. Eating these foods is far from safe and CAUSES HARM to your body. First, the animals are malnourished and pumped with chemicals, antibiotics, hormones, pesticide residues, heavy metals, and a hundred other cancer causing substances! On top of that, meat and dairy accumulates radioactive particles such as radioactive cesium-137, strontium-90 and other vicious radionuclides. Animal foods represent a definitive NO-GO in the world of lifebuilding. Get rid of them NOW and substitute them for fresh, organic HEALING vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. 44

"The influence of the origin and level of dietary protein on oxidative damage of lipid, protein, and DNA in mice after total body irradiation (TBI) was examined. Male mice were fed two types of dietary protein (casein and soybean protein) and different dietary protein levels (casein, 8% and 20%; soybean protein, 8% and 20%), and then treated with TBI with X-rays. Mice fed a lowprotein diet became susceptible to TBIinduced oxidative damage regardless of the origin of protein. Vitamin C and E values of the soybean protein group were markedly lower than those of the casein group." - National Institute of Health and Nutrition, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. 55 "Some Americans are obsessed with protein. Vegans are bombarded with questions about where they get their protein. Athletes used to eat thick steaks before competition because they thought it would improve their performance. Protein supplements are sold at health food stores. This concern about protein is misplaced. Although protein is certainly an essential nutrient which plays many key roles in the way our bodies function, we do not need huge quantities of it. In reality, we need small amounts of protein. Only one calorie out of every ten we take in needs to come from protein." - Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of Medicine, Washington.

The best source of amino acids can be found in ORGANICALLY PRODUCED FERMENTED soybeans, cashews, peanuts, garbanzo beans, pinto beans, algae, sprouts, and tons of vegetables! As far as my body is concerned, I have run on a vegetarian diet for years now and my body weight is around 190 pounds. I bend steel with big guys in the gym and sustain 10 rounds in the ring. On top of it, I practice martial arts. With this body, I can consume regular sized men for breakfast! I don’t think that a vegetarian diet has anything to do with the physical performance… With regard to my essential amino-acids, I obtain them from alternative non-animal sources – mainly soybeans and various nuts. Don’t listen to that JUNK you read in the media. It’s all MONEY and BUSINESS, my friend! If you want to build powerful health, make sure you give your body plenty of proteins, but what is the most important - ALWAYS FOCUS ON QUALITY rather than QUANTITY of things you get! THE BOTTOM LINE: Proteins are BUILDING BLOCKS of every cell. We can call them THE FOUNDATION OF THE BODY. Remember that amino acids are molecules that sustain life. 45

Summary: "It is very easy for a vegan diet to meet the recommendations for protein, as long as calorie intake is adequate. Strict protein combining is not necessary; it is more important to eat a varied diet throughout the day." Protein in the Vegan Diet by Reed Mangels, Ph.D., R.D., The Vegetarian Resource Group, Baltimore, The Vegetarian Resource Group, http://www.vrg.org/ 58, 59, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69

"The research, published in the December issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, shows that lean people on a long-term, lowprotein, low-calorie diet or participating in regular endurance exercise training have lower levels of plasma growth factors and certain hormones linked to cancer risk. However, people on a low-protein, low-calorie diet had considerably lower levels of a particular plasma growth factor called IGF-1 than equally lean endurance runners," says the study’s first author Luigi Fontana, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of medicine at Washington University and an investigator at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità in Rome, Italy. "That suggests to us that a diet lower in protein may have a greater protective effect against cancer than endurance exercise, independently of body fat mass." - Jim Dryden, Does too much protein in the diet increase cancer risk? 70

Facts about Soybean Protein The significance of protein found in soy is that it contains all essential amino acids. Therefore it became a favored source of protein among the non-meat eating community. Meat and Radiation Since RADIOACTIVE HOT PARTICLES get accumulated predominantly in meat and dairy, to obtain a complete protein intake from a plant source LOWERS THE RISK of developing cancer after nuclear fallout! Many people, including Jethro Kloss, have promoted soy products as a FULL SUBSTITUTE for meat and dairy products. Since soy protein is plant based, it is THE ANSWER in meeting the requirements for proteins in YOUR daily diet without increasing the risk of developing cancer. In spite of that – on the contrary – media feed us up with controversial information that soybeans and soy products ARE DANGEROUS! The complete analysis of health risks and health benefits of soy products will give you a crystal clear overview of the situation. Let me show you the full story behind soybeans…

"Population studies have shown a link between soy rich diets and a low risk of breast and endometric cancer in women and prostate cancer in men." Nutraceuticals by Arthur J Roberts MD, Mary E O'Brien MD, Genell Subak- Sharpe, The official American Nutraceutical Guide 71 "Soy protein products can be good substitutes for animal products because, unlike some other beans, soy offers a 'complete' protein profile. ... Soy protein products can replace animal-based foods — which also have complete proteins but tend to contain more fat, especially saturated fat— without requiring major adjustments elsewhere in the diet." - Henkel, John (May, 2000). "Soy: Health Claims for Soy Protein, Questions About Other Components". FDA Consumer 72 "Isoflavanoids in soy slow plaque from forming in the arteries." - Ong Lei Kuen Hazel 73 ―High intake of phytoestrogen contained in soy products could be the reason why women living in Okinawan don't need hormone replacement therapy." - Ong Lei Kuen Hazel 73 "The cholesterol-lowering effect of soy is directly related to soy protein and other soy components, and not only to its low saturated fat content." - Francene Steinberg, Ph.D., R.D. of University of California at Davis 74

From the perspective of our health, soy products can be devided into fermented, non-fermented, organic and genetically modified (GM). As mentioned earlier, soybeans contain significant amounts of all essential amino acids which your body is unable to synthesize on its own. Since the animal based protein tends to accumulate radioactive hot particles, soybeans are one of the SAFEST sources of dietary protein on this planet. The facts are clear: soybean protein is a plant-based protein, therefore it is THE HEALTHIEST protein for your body. According to mythology, protein rich soybean is a GIFT FROM GODS. Proteins, however, are just one aspect of the full healing arsenal. Soybeans are also rich in VITAMINS, MINERALS, FIBERS, AND FATTY ACIDS (both unsaturated fatty acids, predominantly omega-3 fatty acids). There are hundreds of phytonutrients in soybeans, among which soy isoflavones are present in high quantities. In fact, soybeans have been found to be the RICHEST SOURCE of isoflavones in our daily diet. Soy isoflavones are polyphenolic compounds acting as natural phytooestrogens, which work as estrogen stabilizers. This has been found beneficial especially in suppression of hormone induced cancers, i.e. breast cancer.

"As early as 1949, the researcher Dr. Edward Mellanby, the discoverer of vitamin D, demonstrated the demineralizing effects of phytic acid. By studying how grains with and without phytic acid affected dogs, Mellanby discovered that consumption of high-phytate cereal grain interferes with bone growth and interrupts vitamin D metabolism. High levels of phytic acid in the context of a diet low in calcium and vitamin D resulted in rickets and a severe lack of bone formation (â&#x20AC;Ś). 75, 76 Other studies show that adding vitamin C to phytic acid rich meals can significantly counteract inhibition of iron assimilation by phytic acid. 77 Adding vitamin C significantly counteracted phytate inhibition from phytic acid in wheat.78 One study showed that anti- iron phytate levels in rice were disabled by vitamin C in collard greens (â&#x20AC;Ś). 79 To summarize, phytic acid in whole grains can lead to bone loss. The anti- nutrient effect of phytic acid is limited by consuming vitamin C, calcium from leafy green vegetables or raw dairy, and fat- soluble vitamin D such as from organic egg yolk or fermented cod liver oil."

Dangers of Non-fermented Soy Non-fermented and genetically modified soy products are the dark side of soy products today! Genetically modified soy is deadly and causes cancer! In the majority of the world the GM Crops have been banned. Simple and easy to remember: NO GM SOY! There is a pile of studies showing that this soy is a dead end! 86- 215 The non-fermented soy category is very health concerning, too. The products include tofu, bean curd, soy milks, soy infant formulae, soy protein powders, and soy sausages/veggie burgers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; basically everything the food industry offers. The non-fermented soy protein is the natural form of un-fermented soybean. It contains phytochemicals with toxic effects on the human body.59 Why would a plant make toxic phytochemicals that would harm YOU? The answer lies in ITS OWN SELF-PROTECTION and SURVIVAL MECHANISM! The soybean plant wants to live long and wants to reproduce effectively. For this reason, soybeans have developed an IMMUNE SYSTEM which protects the plant and its seeds from sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radiation and invasion of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and animals, including humans. 48

"Using mouse models and in vitro studies, the researchers tested six different protease inhibitors against non-small cell lung cancer as well as a panel of 60 human cancer cell types, in cultures (called cell lines) derived from nine different kinds of malignant tissue. When given in doses that were previously proven to be safe in HIVinfected patients, three of the six protease inhibitors (nelfinavir, ritonavir and saquinavir) inhibited growth of non-small cell lung cancer and every cell type in the set of 60 kinds of cancer cells." - Gills JJ, LoPiccolo J, Tsurutani J, Shoemaker RH, Best CJM, Abu-Asab MS, Borojerdi J, Warfel NA, Gardner ER, Danish M, Hollander MC, Kawabata S, Tsokos M, Figg WD, Steeg PS, and Dennis PA. Nelfinavir, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, http://www.nih.gov/ 83 "Cereals are a major source of micronutrients, the bioavailability of minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, is low because they are present as insoluble complex with food components such as phytic acid. After several readings it should be remembered that the phytic acid in whole is seen as an anti-nutritional factor than therapeutic element." Abdoulaye Coulibaly, Brou Kouakou and Jie Chen, 2011.

What is more, the non-fermented soybeans contain a substance known as "goitrogens", compounds that slow down the function of thyroid, which may lead to thyroid cancer. Moving on… The non-fermented soy contains protease inhibitors, a group which can inhibit the digestion of proteins. This has been found beneficial, providing an anti-cancer effect in humans by interfering with the growth and spread of tumors. However, from a longterm point of view, the inhibition of key enzymes can cause intestinal disorders, bloating, impaired pancreatic function, and other health problems. Non-fermented soybeans contain a trypsin inhibitor, a "growth depressant". This hinders the absorption of nutrients, contributing to thyroid disorder, kidney stones, food allergies and intolerance, interfering with protein digestion, pancreatic disorders, weakening of the immune system, and eventually cancer. Non-fermented soybeans contain hemagglutinin – another "growth depressant", a clot-promoting substance which causes red blood cells to clump together, hindering the absorption of oxygen.

"Soybeans – even organically grown soybeans – naturally contain "antinutrients" such as saponins, soyatoxin, phytates, trypsin inhibitors, goitrogens and phytoestrogens. Traditional fermentation destroys these antinutrients, which allows your body to enjoy soy's nutritional benefits. However, most Westerners do not consume fermented soy, but rather unfermented soy, mostly in the form of soymilk, tofu, TVP, and soy infant formula. Unfermented soy has the following 10 adverse affects on your body: 1. High Phytic Acid (Phytates): Reduces assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid in soy is not neutralized by ordinary preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting and long, slow cooking, but only with long fermentation. High-phytate diets have caused growth problems in children. 2. Trypsin inhibitors: Interferes with protein digestion and may cause pancreatic disorders. In test animals, trypsin inhibitors in soy caused stunted growth. 3. Goitrogens: Potent agents that block your synthesis of thyroid hormones and can cause hypothyroidism and thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked with autoimmune thyroid disease. Goitrogens interfere with iodine metabolism. 4. Phytoestrogens/Isoflavones: Plant compounds resembling human estrogen can block your normal estrogen and disrupt endocrine function, cause infertility, and increase your risk for breast cancer (…)." Article: Dr. Joseph Mercola, The Health Dangers of Soy. Information excerpted from: HuffPost Healthy Living, TheHuffingtonPost.com, Inc. 216

Non-fermented soybeans (incl. beans, seeds, nuts, and grains) contain phytic acid, which structure gives the ability to bind minerals, proteins, and starch. This acid obstructs the absorption of vital minerals such as calcium, copper, iron, and especially zinc in the intestinal tract. Due to the high levels of phytic and oxalic acid, these soybeans have anti-nutritive value. Consumption of even a small amount of nonfermented soy on a regular basis chelates minerals and vitamins OUT OF YOUR BODY, which leads to malnutrition. Like a domino effect, malnutrition makes your body vulnerable to infections, environmental pollutants, radioactive hot particles, chemicals etc... You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much power to fight them after your immune system got weakened due to the vitamin and mineral deficiency! If you think you can cook these acids out of soybeans, you are wrong. Soybeans are highly resistant to phytate reducing techniques, which include both slow and long cooking.

"5. Hemagglutinin: A clot-promoting substance that causes your red blood cells to clump, making them unable to properly absorb and distribute oxygen to your tissues. 6. Synthetic Vitamin D: Soy foods increase your body's vitamin D requirement, which is why companies add synthetic vitamin D2 to soymilk (a toxic form of vitamin D). 7. Vitamin B12: Soy contains a compound resembling vitamin B12 that cannot be used by your body, so soy foods can actually contribute to B12 deficiency, especially among vegans. 8. Protein Denaturing: Fragile proteins are denatured during high temperature processing to make soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein (TVP). Chemical processing of soy protein results in the formation of toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines. 9. MSG: Free glutamic acid, or MSG, is a potent neurotoxin. MSG is formed during soy food processing, plus additional MSG is often added to mask soy's unpleasant taste. 10. Aluminum and Manganese: Soy foods contain high levels of aluminum, which is toxic to your nervous system and kidneys, and manganese, which wreaks havoc on your baby's immature metabolic system. Soy's antinutrients are quite potent. Drinking just two glasses of soymilk daily provides enough of these compounds to alter a woman's menstrual cycle. But if you feed soy to your infant or child, these effects are magnified a thousand-fold. Infants fed soy formula may have up to 20,000 times more estrogen circulating through their bodies as those fed other formulas. You should NEVER feed your infant a soybased formula!" Article: Dr. Joseph Mercola, The Health Dangers of Soy. Information excerpted from: HuffPost Healthy Living, TheHuffingtonPost.com, Inc. 216

Since soy contains high levels of manganese, this can lead to neurological and brain damage associated violent tendencies, ADD/ADHD, autoimmune thyroid disease, and infentile leukemia. Absolutely worst soy products on the market are soy protein and soy oil. Soy protein, known as soy protein concentrate/isolate/ texturized or hydrolized vegetable protein, can be found everywhere from energy bars, shake powders, and canned tuna to veggie burgers. The high-tech processing methods fail to remove toxins and anti-nutrients from the soy powder, they also leave toxic and carcinogenic residues created by high pressure, high temperatures, petroleum solvents and, other carcinogens.61 Soy oil products are margarines and hydrogenated soybean oils, which have been subjected to refining, deodorizing, and light hydrogenation. They contain dangerous trans-fats – the most cancer causing type of fat! Note that the majority of vegetable oils come from the soybean today. If you want to prevent cancer, the consumption of non-fermented soybeans is a big red NO- GO!

Green Light for Fermented Soy How to remove the health damaging phytochemicals, toxins, and anti-nutrients and make soybeans eatable? The answer lies in the approach of ancient cultures which requires a careful and timesensitive processing. Let’s start from the very beginning. The history of soy has a very long journey throughout the world lasting almost 27 centuries. The recordings of soybean date back to 3000 BC… This is the time when the Emperor of China listed the uses of soybean for soil regeneration and preparation for future crops. He didn’t mention soybeans for human consumption. Only later, at about 1000 BC, a special mold was discovered which allowed growing on soybeans destroying the present toxins and making the NUTRIENTS AVAILABLE to the body. People called this process FERMENTATION thanks to which production of popular tempeh, miso and natto soy foods followed. 62 This process of fermentation was improved, simplified and further developed into a version in which, after lengthy soaking, the soybean was treated with a substance found in seawater known as nigari. This invention led to the creation of the first tofu food.

"Isoflavone content and bioavailability of soy products differ and are altered during extraction, processing, and cooking. Defatting, fermentation, and ethanol extraction result in lower isoflavone content." - Fitzpatrick LA. Phytoestrogens: effects on osteoblasts, osteoclasts, bone markers and bone mineral density. In: Holick MF, Dawson-Hughes B, eds. Nutrition and Bone Health. 222, 223

"A 1985 study by Sutardi and Buckle tested the level of phytic acid in soy after different stages of preparation. I provide many of those stages in the figure above. Keep in mind that the activities I list in the figure are successive: the researchers boil the beans, pour off the water, soak them again, dehull them, steam them, drain them, and cool them. The phytic acid levels change very little with all of this effort. It is only when they ferment the beans in the form of tempeh that the phytate levels reduce to about 45% of the levels of the soaked soybean. Fried tempeh is an improvement still, but if the tempeh is stored for two weeks at 5ºC and then fried, the researchers reached the optimal (but not perfect) reduction of the phytic acid. A 2003 study also found that the phytic acid level decreased by only 31% by fermenting soybeans (Egounlety and Aworth 2003)." Soy and Phytic Acid: Stick with Fermented Tempeh and Miso, by Amanda Rose 224 www.rebuild-from-depression.com/

Since these soy products were safe, nutritious and tasty, they quickly became popular, and spread throughout China and surrounding countries further away. Domesticated soybean reached Europe and later, with the support of Benjamin Franklin, the soybean made its journey across the Atlantic Ocean towards America. In America, soybeans became popular like everywhere else and they started to flourish in the markets across the country. In 1904 famous chemist George Washington Carver found that soybeans are pumped with large amounts of protein and oil, which led the American Soybean Association to build first soybean factories. The revolutionary uses of soybean plant reached Henry Ford who in turn started building vehicles covered in plastic made from soybeans. In the 1940â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the soybean farming skyrocketed. During the war, the factories couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t effort to ferment soybeans and therefore they started producing non-fermented soybeans. Because of this obvious HUMAN GREED FOR MONEY, something went very wrong along the way with soy. The money driven corporations overlooked this VITAL process of fermentation the ancient cultures have performed for many years. It is shocking to realize that every culture has sustained with a diet based on fermented grains.

"Reports from the late 1950s and early 1960s found that infants fed soy-flour formulas developed goitre." Soyonlineservice.co.nz 231 "More recent reports have further identified the actual toxicity of soy to the thyroid and mechanistic investigations have determined that the anti-thyroid factors in soy are the phytoestrogens." Soyonlineservice.co.nz 231 "Japanese women typically consume soy beginning in childhood, which may be a key to prevention of breast cancer. In April of 2008, a Japanese study was published on soy consumption and rates of breast cancer. In this study, Dr. Iwasaki and his team recruited 24,226 Japanese women aged 40 to 69... The researchers used blood and urine samples to measure isoflavone levels. Women who had the most consistently high levels of genistein (isoflavone from soy) had the lowest rates of breast cancer." - By Pam Stephan, Soy and Breast Cancer Research, Controversy and Your Diet, About.com Guide, 2009 232

Ancient cultures KNEW how to treat and prepare properly grains for safe use. They knew that this was an absolute necessity! There had NEVER been a human diet which included such high quantities of nonfermented grains as it is today! This terrible mistake threw us more than 27 centuries back, finding ourselves back on trees. This is the place where we stand today! What is the science good for if we are unable to remember the past? I say, the science is good for nothing… The hard facts remain unchanged! Humans have been consuming fermented foods for more than 10,000 years (barley conversion to beer date back more than 5,000 years), making it the oldest known form of food biotechnology and production of safe and well preserved foods. It was for a reason! Today, it has been scientifically proven that the fermentation process in soy removes the coating of soy known as TRYPSIN, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Fermentation is a process that increases the QUANTITY, DIGESTIBILITY, AVAILABILITY, and ASSIMILATION of VITAL NUTRIENTS in soybeans. It naturally enriches your body with a massive load of essential amino-acids, valuable antioxidants, vitamins, phytosterols, essential fatty acids and carbohydrates, and many other healing nutrients! If you want to build powerful health, FERMENTATION of not only soybeans, but the whole grains family as well IS THE WAY TO GO!

Guide to Popular Fermented Whole Soyfoods "Miso A rich, salty, fermented paste made from salted soybeans alone or in a mixture with grains such as wheat, barley, and rice, which is cultured and aged. Soy sauce (shoyu) Originally a byproduct drained off the miso, this dark brown liquid is typically used as a garnish to top Asian dishes. Tamari is a byproduct of miso without the added grains. Natto A sticky, pasty-textured, slightly sweettasting soy ferment, eaten for breakfast or dinner as a topping on rice or added to vegetable dishes. Tempeh A popular Indonesian food made by combining soybean with either rice or millet and a mold culture for 24 hrs. A hearty, chewy, meat-like cake that can be grilled as a burger or added to a main dish. Fermented Tofu First, a tough textured tofu is made from cooked purĂŠed soybeans processed into a custard-like cake, then fermented to make a white, creamy food resembling semi-soft cheese. Fermented Soymilk or Yogurt Made from soymilk that is fermented by probiotic bacteria. Can be used as a dessert or to make sour cream, cream cheese or a form of ice cream. Fermented Soy Powder or Yogurt Powder A whole-food, bacteria-fermented powder used in nutritional shakes, bars or in baking, with all the nutritional value of traditional fermented soy."

In October 1999, the modest little soybean received a great deal of attention in North America when the US Food and Drug Administration authorized use of health claims about the role of soy protein in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. As a result of this and some overstated health claims from other studies, the multinational soy industry has multiplied its efforts to find alternative uses and new markets for soybeans and soy protein foods. Billions of dollars have gone into researching, manufacturing, and advertising soybased products, including a custom- designed soybean. Many top scientists around the world are expressing their concerns about genetically manipulated soy and other crops. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North American soy cuisine has developed into something very different from its Asian predecessor. On supermarket shelves today we can find soy in everything from breakfast cereals to burgers to frozen desserts.

"A prevailing opinion exists among some nutritionists that the health benefits of soy are most likely to be delivered when soy is given in a fermented format. Soy has been a dietary staple in Eastern Asia for thousands of years and traditional, soybased diets are composed often of fermented soy bean products including miso, natto or ancestrally fermented tofu. Much of the evidence for the health benefit of soy in the diet is derived from population studies that compare Eastern Asians on soy rich diets with Westerners taking diets that contain more animal protein and refined carbohydrates. These epidemiological studies show that the occurrence of breast or prostate cancer, heart disease and adverse symptoms associated with the menopause is less in populations consuming soy. In many circumstances the type of soy consumed in these populations is of the fermented variety." - Stephen Holt, MD, LLD, ChB., PhD, ND, FRCP (C)MRCP (UK), FACP, FACG, FACN, FACAM, OSJ, Holt Institute of Medicine 233

whole- food products. The ancient soybean was, for centuries, the quintessential "candidate for fermentation" requiring timesensitive, careful processing in the Eastern world. It has now become mass produced and over- processed in the West. Some health experts, such as well- known author John Robbins, are questioning the validity of consuming these new, non- fermented soy products. Robbins states, "The best way to take advantage of soy’s health benefits is to follow the example of the traditional Asian diets and stick with whole [organic] foods…These are the soy foods that I prefer to eat—rather than the soy products made with protein isolates, soy protein concentrates, hydrolyzed soy protein, partially hydrogenated soy oil, etc. Whole soy foods are more natural and are the soy foods that have nourished entire civilizations for centuries." Choose ORGANIC FERMENTED SOY PRODUCTS such as tempeh, miso, natto, tamari, shoyu, and fermented whole soybean powder, milk, and yogurt. Genetically manipulated soy ingredients should be avoided whenever possible. In the US and Canada, almost all soy that is not referred to on the label as organic has been genetically manipulated.

Recent studies support that the LDL cholesterol lowering effect of soy foods is beneficial in people with hypercholesterolemia, who are at high risk for coronary heart disease (CHD).

Charles Othello Ozias (1861 - 1944) a leading physician and .surgeon of Warrensburg, and a Specialist on chronic diseases.

Charles Othello Ozias, M.D., was a leading physician and surgeon of Warrensburg [Missouri], and a specialist on chronic diseases (â&#x20AC;Ś). He has been very successful in the treatment of cancers, tumors and other obstinate and difficult forms of disease, as he has made a particular study of these difficulties. In order to better fit himself, he went east and took a course as a specialist, and soon afterwards, in 1892, opened an office in this city. His patients are not limited to this immediate locality, as his reputation is wide, and his clientage comprises people from all parts of the state. Doctor was born in1861, on a farm, where he lived until seven years of age. In the spring of 1868 he moved with his parents to Center View Township, about six miles west of this place. He received a good education, and at the age of eighteen years entered the State Normal, where he pursued his studies for two years. He then traveled some in the East, and on returning home engaged in farming for a few years. About 1887 he took up the study of medicine under Dr. J. H. Kinyoun, of Center View, and Dr. J. D. Griffith, of Kansas City. In 1891 he was graduated with honors from the Kansas City Medical College, and after practicing ashortime with his brother at Roseburg, Oregon, opened an office in Warrensburg.

In addition to a simple diet, he also gave something which he would not disclose, which is believed to have been an herbal mixture. He became so well- known for his Figure 2 shows the relation between meat consumption and colon cancer successes that he built a cancer in women.

Ozias said that cancer was the result of soft city living and devitalized store- bought food.

The AMA did not answer. Instead, he was repeatedly taken to court on a variety of charges. Each time, the case was withdrawn before it went to court. The AMA knew they could not win in court. He finally retired to his home in Nevada, Missouri, and practiced quietly until his death in the mid 1940s.

Two Epidemiological Studies on Breast and Colon Cancer and Diet "1) Environmental factors and cancer incidence and mortality in different countries, with special reference to dietary practices by Bruce Armstrong and Richard Doll. International Journal of Cancer 244 "This study used data from 35- 64 year olds across 23 countries to examine 27 cancers. Cancer data was taken from the UICC from 1966 to 1970 and WHO for 1967- 1969 while diet statistics were derived from various sources (Food and Agriculture Organization,1959, 1960, 1971; Statistical Office of the United Nations Organization, 1960, 1970; Beese, 1972; and Cartographic Department of the Clarendon Press, 1972). Environmental data was not considered because it was not available. They looked at the following variables : Population density, physician density, GNP, consumption of tea, coffee , cigarettes, total fat, total protein, animal protein, calories, fats and oils, fish, eggs, meat, fruits, vegetables, sugar, potatoes and other starches and cereals. After accounting for the correlations between these factors, the strongest correlations were found between cancers of the colon, rectum, and breast with dietary factors, particularly meat(animal protein) and total fat consumption. In short, there are correlations between animal products (meat and animal protein are directly animal products, whereas fat consumption is strongly tied to animal product consumption) and the incidence of renal, colon and breast cancer (â&#x20AC;Ś)."

Both studies are epidemiological studies which just look at correlations, not causation. They do not control the subjects or environment, but try to account for variations through statistical analysis. Both state that there are limitations in the conclusions that can be drawn from their individual analysis due to the data availability and the nature of the studies, but the strength of these in my argument is that they both point to the same conclusion even though they used different data for a similar time period." - From An Engineerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perspective on Diet 245 anengineersperspective.wordpress.com)

World War I was extremely hard on the people of Europe. Food shortages were widespread, and many had extremely little to eat. During the years 1917- 1918, the food restrictions were the most severe. Following the war, Dr. Hindhede studied the effects of the restricted diet on the inhabitants of one city: Copenhagen, Denmark. During those two years, the entire population of that large city was forced to live on a diet consisting primarily of milk, vegetables, and grain. But, in studying what had happened, Hindhede was astounded to discover that there was an amazing 34 percent drop in Copenhagen’s death rate.

A number of distinguished physicians worked successfully with cancer in the 19th century. One of them was Dr. John H. Tilden. In 1923, a young premedical student, Dr. Alice Chase met him and learned about his system of healing. Tilden was already 73 by that time. She studied under him for two years at his Denver, Colorado, Tilden Health School. When she became a physician, Chase used Tilden’s methods and adapted them somewhat. A primary change was that she found that MEAT must be forbidden to patients who wished to properly recover from any serious physical problem. Meat was a reservoir of disease, she found.

"In an article on ‚The Cancer Problem‘ in 1967,' Dr. Alice Chase stated: ‚I believe that cancer is an end- result of accumulative waste retention within the body to such a point where it becomes a burden to the organism as a whole; and to susceptible or vulnerable organs or tissues pronouncedly so. . . .‘ In an earlier article in August 1965, she stated that she had been ‚treating cases of diagnosed cancer‘ since the first year of her practice in 1931. She reported that she used Dr. J. J. Tilden's methods of practice, and added:‚A tumor is made any place within or without the body by excreted cellular wastes. . . Chronic accumulation of unexcreted wastes can best be treated by conscientious efforts to remove such wastes by adequately managed fasting and food buffer dieting, and bed rest. Food buffers are raw fruits and raw salads. Sponge- like, they tend to soak out unexcreted wastes.‘ Dr. Chase explained the treatment further in an article in April 1968,' stating: "Freshlymade fruit juices are rich in vitamins which give strength to the sufferer. They are also spongelike, soaking out body wastes. . . . The raw vege table juices supply the sick body with minerals in order to prevent and cure demineralization of the bones.

LIFE, and involves nutrition as well careful living. They taught that no poisons are to be introduced into the system. For this reason, these physicians used absolutely no drug medications, nor radiation treatments. These physicians were actually teachers, instructing their patients in a better way of life. But they also used an essential tool for the recovery of disease: complete fasting for a short time in the height of the crisis, followed by partial fasting (drinking fruit and vegetable juices). For conditions such as cancer, they did not use complete fasts, but relied on juice fasting (today we would call it a juice diet), followed by healthful eating patterns. Hers was a broad program which included enemas. On September 1, 1941, Dr. Tilden died at the age of 90. Dr. Chase’s work as a practicing physician continued from the mid- 1920s to the early 1960s. The Treatment: Alice Chase treatment methods were based on John Tilden and Lucius Bulkley treatments. Alice Chase patients followed a strict vegetarian diet, raw juices and enemas. In compare to Gerson Therapy, Alice Chase methods where less intense, yet still they were following strict guidelines. It would appear that the Gerson diet is much more intensive, and better suited to advanced cases of cancer.

"The body cannot be affected by cancer when it is HEALTHY. The body must be saturated with uneliminated excretions within the cells before it is susceptible to this disease. "Cancer is not a local disease at first. When any organ or tissue manifests cancer signs, the entire body is a sewer full of wastes. How do those wastes saturate the body cells and fluids? "In cancer the body is hyper saturated with retained catabolic wastes within the cells. One reason for the special susceptibility of some organs to cancer is the fact that these particular organs are permeated with relatively large blood and lymph supplies. When a highly vascular organ is saturated with unexcreted wastes, it may manifest signs of cancer. "The breast, the thyroid gland, the prostate gland, the uterus, and other structures that are highly vascular are often found to be cancerous. When any body organ manifests cancer signs and symptoms, the entire body is affected by the same POISONS, and these will eventually kill the sufferer.

In her book, ‚Nutrition for Health Dr. Chase states: "There are no substitutes for fasting, carried on together with osteopathic treatment, in the medical field of the older schools. I also in clude in my regimen a system of exer cises which the patient does while lying in bed, regenerating the body on a fast. The patient is shown how to exercise every muscle of the body. . . I consider the osteopathic procedures and the exer cises, together with the fast, as the most potent aids in regenerating the sick body! - . - Even the most pernicious, stubborn disease dreaded by mankind cancer "can possibly be eradicated from the body by means of fasting as the basic initial procedure toward a complete cure! . . . Every person with tendency to breast cancer or actual manifestation ofbreast cancer, is entitled to such construc tive methods as my rationale. The im portant hygienic procedure on colon cleansing every day, must not be omitted. The same solutions as the patient drinks may be used in the rectum and colon, either lemon juice and water, or grapefruit juice and water. . . . If the lemon juice and water enema seems to cause retention, it is necessary to follow it with an enema of instant coffee, a tablespoon to a cup of warm water. The coffee enema by rectum is a stimulant, by mouth it is a poisonous beverage." - Chase, A.: The cancer problem. Herald of Health, April, 1968; pp. 10- 11.

‘weapons,’ in addition to extreme and radical surgery, prove futile. "The sick body can be made better only by regenerating its cells and fluids from a morbid state to a normal one. This can be accomplished. The living body responds to constructive methods such as raw foods that are potent enough to soak out cellular and tissue wastes and excrete them from the body economy. "Food can be more effective than any drug or drugs. Surgery has been proven useless. It does not prolong life. In fact, surgery may shorten life in some cases. "The surgical patient is debilitated. Surgery is shocking and weakening. The sick are entitled to such constructive methods as diet offers. Before surgery is attempted, why should not an honest and good surgeon put his cancer patients on a preoperative treatment like freshly made raw vegetable juices and raw fruit juices for a week to a month? Such initial treatment may prove to work wonders on the sick body. The FRESH RAW FRUIT JUICES and raw vegetable juices can indeed be real potent elixirs of life! They would be a boon to those who suffer the weakness and pains of cancer. . . "The body needs foods that are rich in minerals and vitamins. These are to be preferred to vitamins and minerals in capsules or pills. "Fresh raw salads and fresh raw fruits are often even prohibited to the sick when indeed they would prove to be life savers and health builders. This indictment is based on my experience with patients who were forbidden to touch any raw fruit or raw vegetable. Why? There is a popular belief that raw fruits and raw vegetables are ‘gas forming.’ These vital foods cannot form gas. When the body is charged with excessive wastes, some of these wastes are broken down into gaseous compounds and the body attempts to eliminate them through the stomach, through the bowels, through the skin, through the lungs.

"People are given cancer phobias by educational cancer agencies, as well as by their physicians and surgeons. They should be EDUCATED, that in a HEALTHY BODY there cannot be any cancer! The body must be a veritable cesspool or sewer full of excretion before cancer signs are apparent. "The sick should NOT be fed dead animal matter as food. In the all- powerful medical world, the sick are being fed on dead animal matter as food.

Dr. Bulkley found that a vegetarian diet which was so low in proteins and in sulphur- containing food was EFFECTIVE in arresting cancer and prolonging the lives of many inoperable and recurrent cases of cancer... "Dogs are often affected by the same diseases that carnivorous humans are. They get blind from cataracts. They get high blood pressure because of hardening of the arteries. They get cancer because they become saturated, to excess, with tissue wastes. To be sure, the dog is more fortunate because he is not a victim of tobacco smoking, coffee drinking, liquor drinking, overwork, and over fatigue—all of which are factors contributing to cancer as a disease of mankind in our civilization. Men and women of our time are subjected to wear and tear in the course of earning their daily bread. Physical overstrain and the conventional palliatives—liquor, tea, coffee, tobacco—contribute toward the causative factors of cancer. .

A person who has had one third, one- half, or two- thirds of his stomach removed because of ‘cancer’ has a very miserable time in eating and trying to feel comfortable after FOOD. "Any stomach case that manifests cancer symptoms is entitled to a rigid diet that would consist of strained freshly made raw vegetable juices and raw fruit juices. A month to three months of such a diet, administered with skill, would tend to regenerate the stomach and make the entire body better. The sick are entitled to this type of treatment. It is high time that the professional made use of the "wonder drug" that food can be! "Cancer patients in the terminal stages are often found to suffer from spontaneous fractures of the bones. They also waste away. . . "Dr. J.H. Tilden, also a pioneer in the medical field, who practiced during the years 1866 to 1939, went beyond Dr. Bulkley in putting his cancer patients on an initial fast, which was followed with a diet of mainly RAW FRUITS and RAW VEGETABLES."I have had the opportunity to treat some cancer patients by means of FASTING and DIET, also using the basic principles of Dr. Bulkley’s system, namely, feeding my cancer patients a diet that is low in protein and in sulphur. I found that the cancer patient responds dramatically to short fasts which are followed by fresh raw vegetable juices, fresh fruit juices, and solid fruits such as grapes, pineapples, cherries, and other seasonable fresh raw fruits. "The cancer patient is often found to be suffering from demineralization of the bones. The blood in the sick body maintains its chemical reaction, known as its hydrogen- ion concentration, at a constant level until the very late stages of disease. "The cancer sufferer is often a poor eater. Sometimes food aggravates symptoms such as pain and fatigue—I mean food of the ordinary varieties. Fresh Reference: Alice Chase’s book, Nutrition and

raw vegetable juice and freshly made fruit juice are welcomed by the cancer patient. In fact, these life- giving liquids even tend to stimulate the appetite and the ability to digest proteins, starches, and some fats that are properly selected. "The cancer patient does not require any ordinary table sugar. HONEY is a superior sweet that can furnish energy much more quickly than ordinary table sugar. The cancer patient does not require two or three starches at one meal, as the Bulkley diet proposes. It is best to give the patient as much as he or she can enjoy of one easily digested starchy food. "A dish of well- cooked OATMEAL or brown rice or wholewheat cereal, seasoned with a little butter and a dash of salt or vegetable salt, is a hearty breakfast food, when the cancer patient has an appetite for breakfast. If there is no appetite for starchy food in the morning, fresh RAW FRUIT of one or two varieties can be kept at the bedside for the patient to eat whenever he has the appetite. FRESHLY MADE FRUIT JUICES and RAW VEGETABLE JUICES may be given at two- hour intervals or less often. "The cancer patient often enjoys being left alone. Sleep and rest are energizing for him. Cancer patients should never be awakened at meal time or for any other daily care. With a dish of cereal for breakfast, the cancer patient may be fed a cup of plain lemonade sweetened with honey. ‘Mint tea’ is also a pleasant beverage and it does not do the patient any harm. "Luncheon for the cancer patient has to depend on how well his stomach is able to digest food. Freshly made RAW VEGETABLE JUICE is always in order because it prevents demineralization of the bones and muscles. Raw vegetable juice supplies the blood with effective buffers, to soak up tissue wastes. Raw vegetable juices also supply easily assimilated minerals and vitamins that the sick body must have in order to thrive and improve. Reference: Alice Chase’s book, Nutrition and

Health, Comet Press, 1959

"RAW VEGETABLE JUICES have been used by pioneers for the treatment of the degenerative chronic diseases, cancer among them, by a number of doctors in America and abroad. It is necessary and very important to bring this truth home to every hospital: that raw- vegetable- juice machines must REPLACE meat grinders and other kitchen equipment that hospitals of our time use for the preparation of food for the sick. "The sick would ‘GET A NEW LEASE ON LIFE’ by being fed raw vegetable juices as the medicine at hospitals and at home. For that matter, the healthy person should drink raw vegetable juice twice a day at least as a preventive of food deficiency of one kind or another in bodily health. "In addition to a glass of raw vegetable juice for lunch, the cancer patient may get some well cooked nourishing soup or stew. If there is any stomach involvement, freshly cooked vegetable mixtures should be liquefied in the modern food blender. Home- made pureed vegetables that can be done in the blender are far superior to canned products. They do not have to be overcooked. Overcooking and canning cause a loss in vitamin value in the case of any such products. Freshly cooked even slightly uncooked, vegetables—liquefied in the blender to a consistency that the individual patient may require are easily digested and nourishing. "One kind of starch, such as a baked potato or rice or a slice of bread and, perhaps a tiny amount of butter, is all a semi- invalid or an invalid requires. It is not advisable to feed the cancer patient a high amount of calories chosen from sugars, starches, and butter fat. Some cancer patients cannot digest butter or any other fat. They may be given grapes and other sweet fresh raw fruits, as easily assimilable energy foods that are better sources of calories than an overabundance of starches at one meal. "I found that the lentil is a wonderful seed that can be used in a variety of ways to prepare palatable dishes for the cancer patients. Lentils—about a cupful—according to Reference: Alice Chase’s book, Nutrition and

Health, Comet Press, 1959

Dr. Kellogg, furnish an amount of iron equal to the iron contained in four eggs (an ounce of lentils furnish as much iron as an ounce of egg yolk). Lentil, as a seed food, is also rich in easily digestible starch and protein. It is also low in sulphur content, lower than any other of the seeds such as beans or peas. Lentils, mixed together with three or four fresh green cut- up vegetables, makes a fine, palatable, nourishing soup or stew. Lentils may also be mixed with brown rice and cooked as a hearty tissue- building and energyyielding main course for dinner or supper. "Other foods that combine well with starches, such as those mentioned above for the noon meal, as well as for the evening meal, are a glass of raw vegetable juice or fresh raw fruit for dessert. Fresh fruit is always superior to stewed prunes or stewed figs or stewed apples. "Raw vegetable juice may also be given to the cancer patient between mealsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; once or twice a day. Even up to four glasses of raw vegetable juice a day may be taken with benefit, and also two glasses of freshly made fruit juice. Watery beverages are really not as important. "Sometimes watery fluids are contraindicated. When a cancer patient has involvement of the liver or kidneys or the lymphatic system, there may be a tendency toward fluid retention within the body tissues. Under such conditions the diet has to be specially worked out. It must exclude foods made with water. There are some vegetables and fruits which have the property of extracting fluids that are retained within the liver substance and within other parts of the body. These foods are fresh raw pineapple and green squash! These are the best diuretic foods, which means that these two foods have the power to extract retained fluids from the liver and other parts of the body. This I found in my clinical studies of very difficult problems of cancer and other diseases, in which fluid retention was one of the complications.

Reference: Alice Chaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, Nutrition and

Health, Comet Press, 1959

"Green squash and fresh raw pineapple are wholesome foods that can be used even when there is no special complication. Any food that has curative properties also has preventive properties. "Now for a few words about milk in relation to the cancer problem. Some patients cannot take milk; their mouths feel sour and bitter after milk. Buttermilk may be tried; this type of cultured milk products are really forms of synthetic vegetablesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the cow makes milk from grains and grasses! Milk is therefore a wholesome food for invalids when they have an appetite for it and have no bad reaction from it. When milk is not well- tolerated, it may be left alone. Balanced nutrition, weight gaining, or the prevention of the loss of weight can be accomplished with a FRUIT- VEGETARIAN DIET that is planned according to the above suggested outline. "It is always desirable to give the patient two steamed vegetables, in addition to a starchy food, for dinner and supper. One may be a root vegetable, such as carrots or beets, and one may be a green vegetable or some other kind that ripens above the ground. "Eggs must be forbidden in the cancer diet because they are high in sulphur content, and the cancer patient is already charged with too much sulphur waste. "Some cancer patients also have a history of skin disease of one kind or another. Psoriasis is often found accompanying cancer. This disease cannot be cured with the ordinary diet that includes meat and eggs and fatty foods. A person who suffers from psoriasis must live for months on fruit juices and raw vegetable juices, plus a little rice and lentils and one or two green vegetables a day. "This is the way I found that cancer patients CAN GET BETTER and live in comfort in many instances. The cancer patient has everything to gain by breaking away from conventional hodgepodge eating and taking up the vegetarian- fruitarian diet that is rich in raw vegetable JUICES, RAW FRUIT JUICES, and properly Reference: Alice Chaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, Nutrition and

Health, Comet Press, 1959

STEAMED VEGETABLES. "Food must also be taken within the limits of comfort and not because it may do some good. Occasional fasts are always a boon to the sick, particularly those who suffer from cancer. "Here is a sample 21- day meal schedule. Keep in mind that it is only a sample. There are many other meal schedules; some which are distinctly different. Adaptations might have to be made for the condition of the patient, the type of malignancy he has, etc. He might be allergic to store- bought grape juice, etc. Of course, other things must be done each day, in addition to meals (water drinking, enemas or good bowel movements, abundant rest, baths, exercise or massage, etc.). "Here is this 21- day meal schedule. It would, of course, have to be adapted to the individual: "Day 1 - On the first day or two, have a total food fast. (You will repeat this fast for 1 to 2 days in forthcoming weeks.) Macrophages and lymphocytes are the most active and effective in fighting cancer cells after fasting. "Day 2 - Drink 16 ounces of fresh grape juice (canned, if necessary) 3 times a day. It is best to dilute the juice. "Day 3 - Switch to 16 ounces of fresh carrot juice, 3 times a day. "Day 4 - Use grape juice at breakfast and supper and carrot juice at dinner. "Days 5 to 10 - Grape juice at breakfast, plus any kind of raw fruit. Carrot juice at supper, plus any kind of raw vegetables. "Days 11 to 15 - Begin adding stewed or canned fruit to the fruit meal menu and steamed vegetables to the vegetable menu. Serve hot. Use as little salt as possible and never over ½ teaspoon per day. Never overeat. "Day 16 - Begin taking 3 almonds with breakfast and dinner. Continue a very small fruit supper if essential; it should be omitted as soon as possible. "Day 17 - Continue the present food plan, but begin serving ½ cup of brown rice at breakfast and dinner. Reference: Alice Chase’s book, Nutrition and

Health, Comet Press, 1959

"Days 18 to 20 - Increase the quantity of rice by one- fourth cup per day until serving one cup. Serve with dry or chopped fruit or onions, tomatoes, lemon juice, or green peas for seasoning. "Day 21 - Increase the number of high protein foods served to supplement the rice, keeping the variety of dishes to a minimum, and using 3 items only at each meal, as follows: "(a) Eat plenty of raw fruit, including fresh lemon and grape juice or raw vegetables, including carrot juice. Do not eat fruits and vegetables at the same meal. If possible, 5080% of the meal should be eaten raw. Asparagus and garlic have both been ascribed as anticancer qualities. "(b) Choose cooked grains or vegetables from the following list. These foods are selected because of their low phenylalanine and lysine content: potatoes (white or sweet), carrots, rice, millet, corn, buckwheat, barley, rye, oats, and wheat. "(c) Use immature legumes (such a field peas or green peas) not more than twice a week, for they are high in phenylalanine and lysine. Select only one at a meal. "(d) Use whole grain cereals or quick breads without sugar, baking powder, soda, or excessive salt." â&#x20AC;&#x201D;That concludes the description by Dr. Chase of her nutritional treatment for cancer. Elsewhere in her book, she discussed the importance of frequent enemas, rest, etc. So the above only constituted a brief outline of the nutritional part of her therapy. It will be interesting to compare her program with the Gerson therapy. There are similarities, and there are differences. Overall, it would appear that the Gerson diet is much more intensive, and better suited to advanced cases of cancer.

„Dr. Breuss work was heavily ridiculled, suppressed and in his eighties, he was taken to court by the Austrian medical fraternity."

(- 1950 AD) Rudolf Breuss Nutshell: fasting, herbal medicine, metabolic therapy, herbal cleanses and flushes. Books: The Breuss Cancer Cure by Rudolph Breuss (1995). Rudolf Breuss (1899 – 1990) Austrian healing practitioner. He developed a theory that cancer lives on solid foods taken into the body, and that cancerous growths will die if a patient drinks only vegetable juices and tea for 42 days.

Rudolf Breuss was a healer from Austria, an educated man who had an incredible understanding of, and love for, his fellow human beings. Born in 1899, he turned his attention to finding an alternative and more gentle treatment for cancer and other diseases than that offered by conventional medicine. It was a simple German book written over 300 years previously that expounded the value and use of fruit and vegetable juices which was to capture his attention and direct his work for the rest of his life. Breuss maintained that cancer, whenever it occurs in the body, feeds and grows from protein. He therefore deduced that if one fasted for what has now been confirmed as an ideal period of 42 days, during

"To my mind, healing means returning a malfunctioning human body to full unrestricted function, not to remove parts of it by operation or amputation" – Rudolf Breuss "In 1978, in the space of 10 months, 28 Leukemia patients came to me and they could all work after six days. It is a portal vein circulation disease, not cancer of the blood. So far 150 Leukemia patients have come to me and I could help all of them. Do not fear this disease any more." - Dr. Breuss. "The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while Nature cures the disease". Breuss was a man of integrity and inspiration. His theory is sound. - By M. Sulter "Tests showed cancer of the larynx and the doctor advised an operation immediately. I was informed that my larynx had to be removed completely. I heard about Dr Breuss and went to see him….he prescribed the juice treatment….By the time I had completed this juice treatment I felt fit and once again had a good appetite. Despite my 72 years I felt my old self again."- J. Neukirch, 1972. "The Breuss Treatment is so effective because it deals with cancer and other chronic diseases by cleansing the whole system….cancer is not a death sentence but is actually preventable and curable." - J. Rancourt, M.D.

which various herbal teas and juices are taken to detoxify, cleanse and eliminate, the cancer would starve, be absorbed and subsequently pass out of the body one way or another. Radical thinking that flew in the face of the accepted medical wisdom, but is now used all over the world and known as the Breuss Total Cancer Treatment. Raw fruit and vegetable juices have always been used and recommended in natural medicine as part of the healing system for many ailments and chronic complaints. Raw juices contain antioxidants and living enzymes that science has identified as an imperative part of everyone’s diet if they wish to stay healthy and maintain a defense against all the toxins of today’s environment (…). The Breuss Tea mix and a specific mixture of organically grown carrot, beetroot, celery, Chinese radish and potato worked wonders on his patients. His mixture provided, in liquid form, all of the minerals and vitamins required by the body during the 42 day fast, whilst the body’s own resources are used in dealing with the diseased tissue. Testimonial after testimonial confirmed that his treatment worked. The same blend of the Breuss Vegetable Juice is used in all manners of diseases, taken for a lesser period of time or with food, depending on the severity of the condition. Breuss’s book outlines cures for a variety of ailments – serious and those not so serious. Various cancers, leukemia and prostate disorders – even hay fever and infertility – have a cure according to Breuss! Cancer can only live on the protein of solid food. Therefore, if you drink nothing but vegetable juice and teas for 42 days the cancerous tumor dies off while the body continues to do well. When he was in his eighties, Breuss was taken to court by the Austrian medical fraternity who considered his simple and inexpensive cure to be too simple and inexpensive! He was acquitted when his defense lawyer, a cancer sufferer cured by Breuss, presented an entourage of cured patients who all attested to the success of his Total Cancer Treatment. The Austrian President, Rudolf Kirchschlaeger, even intervened on his behalf! Reference: The Breuss Cancer Cure, Alternative

Breuss Cancer Cure Theory Breuss postulated that cancer cells live exclusively on solid foods ("…the only patients that died were patients that were given something to eat." (Ref 1- 3)). He claimed that cancer cells are not able to feed upon vegetable juices and the cancers will die if patients ingest only vegetable juices and special teas for 42 days. Breuss quoted Bruno Vornarburg who said that the carcinogenic process was fed by proteins and that if there are no proteins in food, the tumor is unable to survive (ref 1- 3). Furthermore, Breuss claimed that after a diet free of proteins, the body attacks and destroys the tumor like an "operation without knife". Breuss also believed his intervention was not only a cure but also a protection against cancer (ref 1- 3). Breuss Cancer Treatment The treatment is described in three books written by Breuss (ref 1- 3), but it is not clear whether the publishers have changed, added or left out original statements. For example, the English translation of Breuss’ book does not mention that he did not allow radiation treatment and injections during his cure (ref 2). Further amendments were written by Thomar (ref 5, 6). Breuss rigidly stipulated that cancer patients are not allowed to drink or eat anything other than his juices and teas for 42 days. Breuss gave strict instructions about the preparation and taking of the juices and teas. Juices include beetroot, carrots, celeriac, black radish and potatoes if the patient has liver cancer. All vegetables used have to be organically grown and sediments of the vegetables must be removed. The maximum ingested amount of juice is 500 ml per day. "He (Breuss) claimed that cancer cells are not able to feed upon vegetable juices and the cancers will die if patients ingest only vegetable juices and special teas for 42 days" Reference: Project.Nsearch, Rudolf Breuss Cancer Cure, Kim Μολών Λaβέ, http://www.project.nsearch.com/

Breuss allotted three teas for all types of cancers: sage tea, kidney tea and cranesbill tea. Sage tea includes sage (Salvia officinalis), St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum), peppermint (Mentha piperata) and balm (Melissa officinalis) in a special ratio. It could be taken when desired. Kidney tea includes horsetail (Equisetum arvense), stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), knotgrass (Polygonum aviculare) and St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum), in a special ratio and must be taken only for the first three weeks. Cranesbill tea includes red cranesbill (Geranium robertianum) and only one half cup of cold tea should be ingested per day. For special types of cancer, additional teas are recommended. All teas have to be taken without sugar. For leukemia, Breuss stated that the patient had to drink the teas and juices but could eat everything except for meat soup, beef, pork and reheated food (ref 1- 3) (the English translation mentions beef soup, pork, chemical food additives, burnt food and fats (ref 2)). Breuss further stipulated that patients can not start the Breuss Cancer Cure immediately after surgery, but have to wait at least two to five months. No concurrent treatments are allowed during the treatment. He recommended fresh air and exercise and that smoking should be stopped. Furthermore, the patient must not sleep above socalled "water veins" (sources of ground radiation) and should avoid moth powder, insecticides, sprays or air fresheners in the house. Breuss claimed that patients who had completed the Breuss Cancer Cure should never again eat reheated food but should be allowed to gradually start eating salt- reduced, light food and to drink approximately 60 ml of the vegetable juice per day for a further two to four weeks. Additional instructions were added in 1987 (ref 1, 2): patients should take one or two bowls of onion broth a day (only the liquid). To support the heart, patients should take 20 to 40 drops of hawthorn tincture (Crataegus oxyacantha). People with diabetes should continue insulin treatment (…).

Breuss Vegetable Juice Mixture 55% red beet root, 300 grams 3% raw potato, 10 to 30 grams options 20% carrots, 100 grams 2% Black Radish, 10 to 30 grams 20% celery root, 100 grams The potato is optional except for liver cancer where it plays an important part. This therapy can be done with either homemade juices or with fermented vegetable juices from a health food store. Do not drink more than half a liter a day. The cocktail is made up with beets, carrots, celery roots, black radishes and potato. Mix all these vegetables in a juicier and then strain to get rid of any sediment. Any solids may provide a breeding ground for cancer. Before starting the cure try one quarter liter of juice per day with your normal meal. Take this juice by the spoonful. Don’t swallow right away and salivate it well. The instructions are to take one half cup of cold kidney tea first thing in the morning. Then 30 to 60 minutes later take two cups warm herb tea made from St. John’s Wort, Peppermint and Lemon Balm. After another 30 to 60 minutes take a little vegetable juice and salivate well before swallowing. Fifteen to 30 minutes later take another sip of vegetable juice. You should take some juice 10 to 15 times throughout the morning but only when you feel like it. In between, drink warm or cold sage tea without sugar, as much as you like. At noon take one half cup of kidney tea and again before retiring at night. In the afternoon take a few sips of tea. Any liquid should be sipped and well salivated. Kidney tea should be taken only during the first three weeks of the treatment. Along with this and throughout the time of therapy drink one cup of cold Cranesbill tea (geranium robertianum) per day. Cranesbill contains a little radium. Sipping small quantities of tea and juice stimulates the flow of saliva and reduces the workload of the intestines. For cancer of the bones and lungs, prepare a tea of Plantain (plantago major), Icelandic Moss, Lungwort, ground Ivy and Mullein. It does not matter if you can’t get them all. Steep for 10 minutes and drink as much of this tea as you like, the more the better. In the case of tuberculosis you should also take one teaspoon of plantain seed along with a little water or tea. During the complete treatment you should not take any food other than the vegetable juice mixture.

If you crush a flower bud between your fingers, you will release a burgundy red juice - - evidence of the flavonoid hypericin. St. John's Wort oils and tinctures should display this beautiful red coloring, which indicates the presence of the desired flavonoids.

University of Adelaide researchers have shown for the first time how peppermint helps to relieve Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which affects up to 20% of the population. In a paper published in the journal Pain, researchers from the University's Nerve- Gut Research Laboratory explain how peppermint activates an "anti- pain" channel in the colon, soothing inflammatory pain in the gastrointestinal tract. Dr. Stuart Brierley says while peppermint has been commonly prescribed by naturopaths for many years, there has been no clinical evidence until now to demonstrate why it is so effective in relieving pain. "Our research shows that peppermint acts through a specific anti- pain channel called TRPM8 to reduce pain sensing fibres, particularly those activated by mustard and chili. This is potentially the first step in determining a new type of mainstream clinical treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)," he says (â&#x20AC;Ś). Dr Brierley says the recent floods in Queensland and Victoria could result in a spike of gastroenteritis cases in Australia due to the contamination of some water supplies in affected regions. He said case studies in Europe and Canada showed that many people who contracted gastroenteritis from contaminated water supplies went on to experience IBS symptoms that persisted for at least eight years. There is no cure for IBS and it often comes and goes over a person's lifetime. Apart from gastroenteritis and food intolerance, IBS can be brought on by food poisoning, stress, a reaction to antibiotics, and in some cases is genetic. Dr Brierley is one of 25 researchers who work at the University of Adelaide's Nerve- Gut Research Laboratory, hoping to find cures and treatments for a range of intestinal diseases.

The horsetail herb has a long lineage and is a descendant of prehistoric plants; these ancient relatives of the herb were tall as trees. The horsetail is also known to be the richest plant source for the mineral silica aside from other useful and beneficial minerals. This makes the plant a very valuable herbal remedy for the treatment and healing of tissues as well as a useful and effective herbal nutritious tonic. The horsetail herb strongly affects the functioning of the urinary system in people, and endows a mild diuretic as well as soothing effect on the affected urinary tissues. It is also capable of healing all manners of irritation and infection affecting the urinary tract in general. (…) Horsetail has a lot of silica, which actively aids in the rapid absorption of calcium from the food, and this action of the herb so helps guard the body against the danger of osteoporosis and muscular cramps, and for this reason horsetail can greatly help in the prevention of atherosclerosis in patients.

Antioxidative and antiproliferative activities of different horsetail (Equisetum arvense L.) extracts. "(…) The results indicate that nbutanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, and water extracts had significant peroxyl radical scavenging activity. Extracts inhibited cell growth that was dependent on cell line, type of extract, and extract concentration. Ethyl acetate extract exhibited the most prominent antiproliferative effect, without inducing any cell growth stimulation on human tumor cell lines.

In folk medicine nettle plants have been used as a diuretic, to build the blood, for arthritis and rheumatism. Externally it has been used to improve the appearance of the hair, and is said to be a remedy against oily hair and dandruff in the first century, Greek physicians Dioscorides and Galen reported the leaf of nettle had diuretic and laxative properties and was useful for asthma, pleurisy and spleen illnesses. Bandages soaked in a leaf and stem infusion were used in early American medicine to stop the bleeding of wounds; an account of this use was recorded by Dr. Francis P. Procher, a surgeon and physician in the Southern Confederacy during the Civil War. Nettle leaves were also recommended as a nutritious food and as a weight loss aid by the famous American plant forager and naturalist, Euell Gibbons. 86

Antiproliferative effect on human prostate cancer cells by a stinging nettle root (Urtica dioica) extract. „Abstract: On day 4 and 6, the reduction in proliferation of LNCaP cells showed the minimal effective dose at 1.0E- 9 mg/ml. No cytotoxic effect of ME- 20 on cell proliferation was observed. The antiproliferative effect of ME20 of stinging nettle roots observed both in an in vivo model and in an in vitro system clearly indicates a biologically relevant effect of compounds present in the extract."

In his book Plants Used Against Cancer, Jonathan Hartwell notes many instances of Beta vulgaris being used to treat various cancerous conditions throughout history. Beetroot has mainly been prepared as a decoction, with the root juice being drunk, although poultices are occasionally specified. The conditions treated have included tumors of the intestines, head, leg, genitals and rectum, lung cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer and leukemia. Many of the reports, however, have either been anecdotal or from studies with small numbers of patients. Beetroot has been used as a treatment for cancer in Europe for several centuries. In Rosenberg’s review of the literature, he notes that J.F. Osiander of Göttingen used beetroot as a treatment for tumors of the nose in 1826. However, the modern interest in beetroot as a treatment for 87

cancer dates from around 1930. Two German doctors (Farberse and Schoenenberger) used beetroot to treat cancer patients in 1929. In 1939, a Hungarian professor (Bakay) carried out experiments on patients with cancers, including leukemia, and observed improvements in their general condition. Erdos, a Mexican travelling in Europe and Africa in 1939, collected some of the anecdotal evidence for beetroot and cancer. He describes meeting a healer in the Atlas Mountains, for example, who claimed to have successfully treated malignant tumors with beetroot. Erdos also recalls meeting a healer in Yugoslavia who pointed out that in areas of the country where large quantities of beetroot are eaten, no fatal cancers of the stomach or lung are reported. The therapeutic use of beetroot in cancer treatment came to prominence with the work of the Hungarian physician Alexander Ferenczi in the 1950s. He introduced a revolutionary new treatment for cancer using nothing but raw beetroot juice. In his papers from the late 1950s and early 1960s, he reported remarkable success in treating cancer patients. His patients suffered from a range of different cancers. His reputation grew and beetroot juice became a sought- after treatment for cancer. Ferencziâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment was based on consuming a liter of beetroot juice daily, for at least two to three months.

Cytotoxic effect of the red beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) extract compared to doxorubicin (Adriamycin) in the human prostate (PC- 3) and breast (MCF- 7) cancer cell lines. Previous cancer chemoprevention studies from our laboratories and by other investigators have demonstrated that the extract of red beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.), the FDA approved red food color E162, can be effective in suppressing the development of multiorgan tumors in experimental animals. To further explore this finding, we have compared the cytotoxic effect of the red beetroot extract with anticancer drug, doxorubicin (adriamycin) in the androgen- independent human prostate cancer cells (PC- 3) and in the wellestablished estrogen receptor- positive human breast cancer cells (MCF- 7). This red colored anticancer antibiotic was selected for comparative cytotoxic study because its chemical structure with a planar configuration of an aromatic chromophore attached to a sugar molecule is remarkably similar to that of betanin, the beetroot extract constituent primarily responsible for its red color (â&#x20AC;Ś). The results suggest that betanin, the major betacyanin constituent, may play an important role in the cytotoxicity exhibited by the red beetroot extract. Further studies are needed to evaluate the chemopreventive potentials of the beetroot extract when used alone or in combination with doxorubicin to mitigate the toxic side- effects of the latter.

"Remember carrots nourish they do not heal. If the body has the ability to heal itself, it will use the raw materials found in foods to do its own healing work. Herbs do not heal, they feed. Herbs do not force the body to maintain and repair itself. They simply support the body in these natural functions (â&#x20AC;Ś). Carrots are credited with many medicinal properties; they are said to cleanse the intestines and to be diuretic, remineralizing, ant diarrheal, an overall tonic and ant anemic. Carrot is rich in alkaline elements which purify and revitalize the blood. They nourish the entire system and help in the maintenance of acid- alkaline balance in the body."

The study results, published today in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, are significant as they could contribute to healthy eating advice for consumers and recommendations for growers and may eventually aid the development of anticancer drugs. Falcarinol protects carrots from fungal diseases, such as liquorice rot that causes black spots on the roots during storage. The scientists investigated the compound after a previous published study suggested it could prevent the development of cancer. The research team carried out tests on 24 rats with precancerous tumours in laboratory conditions. They divided them into three groups and fed them different diets. The team found that, after 18 weeks, rats who ate carrots (the popular orange variety) along with their ordinary feed and the group which consumed falcarinol with their feed - in a quantity equal to that contained in the carrots - were one third less likely to develop full- scale tumours than the rats in the control group.

In medicine, celery has been used as far back as Ancient Greece when it was highly valued for its properties as an aphrodisiac as well as its medicinal properties. Around the same time celery was also used as a decorative herb by the Romans, who used the leaves for their "Winner's Crown". In celery traditional medicine celery was used to eliminate intestinal parasites. Chinese medicine recommended celery to be used as a medicine to treat high blood pressure due to its stabilizing components.

Enzymatic and genetic activity throughout the body depends on the continuous re- methylation of DNA. As we age, the breakdown of methylation metabolism predisposes us to a wide range of degenerative diseases. Luteolin inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells, and inhibits angiogenesis. It shows strong antiproliferative activity against different human cancer cell lines such as breast, prostate and thyroid cancer. It reduces the formation of carcinogens in food such as heterocyclic amines. It is able to block the activation of carcinogens, increase detoxification, and stimulate error- free DNA repair. Celery also contains a good amount of another highly active bioflavonoid, apigenin, a powerful COX- 2 inhibitor able to halt inflammation as effectively as anti- inflammatory drugs.

There have been a number of cancer patients who have undergone this type of treatment this year, while several have gradually recovered, to the extent that when some are saved from the brink of death, they have called to inform of their eternal joy." Buddhist monk Master Tomizawa, who advocates fresh potato juice treatment, has received overwhelming response in letters from cancer sufferers from all over Japan; therefore this edition will again publish clinical cases of fresh potato juice treatment. Mash fresh potatoes to pulp and continuously every day drink one to two glasses of potato juice derived from this pulp. This will mainly cure cancer, but recovery cases from liver disease, diabetes, gastric ulcer, kidney disease, heart disease, hypertension, lumbago and sore shoulders etc have also been reported. (…) According to Doctor Kinoshita who was very familiar with Chinese medicinal dietotherapy, he said, "Potato was called the ‘apple of the great earth’ in Europe, which showed it was a food with very rich nutrition especially in vitamin C and calcium. In Germany, people used to drink potato- scraped juice for treating gastric ulcer and constipation since olden times." Besides, potato has the effect of suppressing cancer growth. This was gradually proven by scientific experiments. Professor Kagamin from the Hygiene study in the Akita University Medical Department successfully extracted a suppressive material, a pro- variation substance from potatoes. The significant effect of such material was affirmed through experiments conducted on mice. The research result was published last year in Germany where an International Cancer Society Conference was held. The Fresh Potato Juice could not only treat cancer but also cure many people who suffer from hypertension, heart diseases, diabetes and kidney disease. For those who are suffering from chronic diseases, please try this treatment. 91

Cruciferous vegetables have received increasing attention in recent years, partly because of the fight against cancer and numerous health benefits associated with these plants. They are usually eaten raw, cooked or preserved, although they may be cooked and used in fried or added to soup. The radish, Raphanus sativus, belongs to the family Brassicaceae, may have white, red, purple or black, long cylindrical or round shape. The oil obtained from seeds of radish is also used. The other parts of the radish, which are eaten, are leaves, flowers, pods and seeds. Reference: www.curaplantas.com.br by Marcelo Rigotti, http://www.articlesnatch.com/

The radish contains about 95 percent of water in proportion to its weight, making it an excellent source of hydration. This moisture can also reduce the appetite, making the person feel satiated, and a benefit for those trying to lose weight. They can also help relieve urinary tract infections and painful urination, providing essential fluids to help flush the urinary system, can help IMPROVE the bladder and kidney. When preparing food with radishes, remember that the high percentage of water prevents its freezing appropriate. Freezing often causes damage through the formation of ice crystals, resulting in a colorless radish after thawing. Low in fat and cholesterol, radish provides a generous amount of dietary fiber. A portion (1 / 2 cup or a whole) provides 1- 2 g of dietary fiber, which is 5 to 8 percent of the recommended daily. The fiber helps to reduce hunger, regulates the intestine and can even improve cholesterol levels. A plant with antibacterial and antifungal, the radish is a good source of vitamins A, B- 6, C, K, riboflavin and folic acid. Due to its high vitamin content, is considered a dietary supplement useful for people with colds, flu, cancer, skin diseases, asthma and other respiratory diseases. They also help in strengthening capillary controls the levels of homocysteine and reduces the incidence of injuries. The radish contains significant levels of calcium, iron, phosphorus, copper, magnesium and potassium. These minerals can do many things by the body, strengthens bones, protects the heart, regulates blood pressure, improves the digestive system and immune system, improves kidney function and acts as an energy tonic. The leaves of radish are an excellent source of vitamin C and calcium. In a study to determine the glycemic index of various vegetables, it was concluded that the radish has a low GI. Preliminary studies have shown that the root of the radish is effective in lowering cholesterol levels. More studies are needed to confirm these results.

In a study of extracts was proven its efficiency as an antioxidant. The radish contain a variety of chemicals based on sulfur, which increase the flow of bile, thus helping to maintain a gallbladder and liver healthy and improve digestion. Leaf extract is beneficial for the gastrointestinal activities and is known for its laxative properties. The radish belongs to the brassica vegetables, including cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli. Numerous studies suggest that the plants of the family of brassicas act as protection against cancers of the lung and digestive tract. Cruciferous vegetables are a source of glucosinolates, compounds that give flavor brassica. The preventive potential of the radish is partly due to their glucosinolate content, and a study in Italy showed the variety Daikon radish Japanese had anticancer activity in human colon. The radish is very good for the liver, gallbladder and stomach, and acts as DETOXIFYING, that is, it purifies the blood. It is useful in jaundice, as it helps regulate the production and flow of bile and bilirubin, acids, enzymes and removes excess bilirubin in the blood. It also controls the destruction of red blood cells during jaundice by increased supply of oxygen in fresh blood. The turnip greens are also very useful in the treatment of jaundice. It also contains ENZYMES such as myrosinase, diastase, amylase and esterase, which PROTECTS the liver and gall bladder infections and ulcers. It is very rich in indigestible carbohydrates, that facilitates digestion, retain water; helps control constipation (one of the main causes of hemorrhoids). Its juice also relieves the digestive and excretory system and it also relieves hemorrhoids. It is DIURETIC, ie, increase the production of urine, the radish juice also cures the inflammation and burning sensation during urination. Also CLEAN the kidneys and inhibits kidney and urinary system. Thus, it helps in curing urinary problems.

Vitamin C, phosphorus, zinc and some members of the vitamin B complex, which are present in radish, are good for the skin. Water helps to keep moisture from the skin; raw radish is a cleaning product very good and serves as a face pack very effective. Because of its disinfectant properties, radish also helps to heal skin diseases, such as dryness, rashes, cracks, etc. Possesses anti itchy and can be used as an effective treatment for insect bites, stings from bees, wasps, hornets, etc... The juice also reduces pain and swelling and soothes the affected area. It decreases the body temperature and relieves inflammation due to fever. Radish juice is a good disinfectant, but also fights infections that cause fever, thus helping to heal it. The radish is an anti congestive, or relieving the congestion of the respiratory system, including the nose, throat and lungs due to cold, infections, allergies and other causes. It is a good disinfectant and also RICH IN VITAMINS, which protect the respiratory system against infections that cause bronchitis and asthma. Besides the benefits mentioned above, the radish is a good appetizer, refreshes the mouth and help in breathing, is LAXATIVE, regulates METABOLISM, improves blood circulation, is a good treatment for headache, acidity, constipation, nausea, obesity, sore throat, cough, stomach problems, gall stones, dyspepsia, etc.

I was born very sickly into a violent household. I had a brother who was still in diapers when I was born. He went from having had mother's full attention to having none and he never forgave me for it. He tortured me nearly daily. My father's discipline put me in the hospital several times. My dyslexia and autism, which no one understood at the time, embarrassed and frustrated my parents. My dyslexia was to the extent that the printed page would swirl and I got vertigo.

"Anything the medical profession says, do the opposite 99 percent of the time and you’ll be right." - Aajonus Vonderplanitz "Three doctors declared that I would die at age twenty- one after I had received medical treatments for cancer. I began searching, experimenting and exploring other means to gain my health… I discovered that good health most often comes when one eats a diet consisting of foods that supply the most bioactive nutrients; they are mentioned throughout the following pages." Aajonus Vonderplanitz, www.wewant2live.com 280 Fourteen years ago when my book first came out, it was 13 years, 95 percent, and that was validated by the neuroscientist from Columbia University, Elnora Van Winkle. She met with 232 that survived out of the 242 patients, and she interviewed them after up to 12 years being on the diet. They were all cancer symptom- free. I didn’t want them to have X- rays, only ultrasound, so some of them could not be proved. But Elnora Van Winkle, she validated it and wrote it. I still think you can find that report on the Internet somewhere. Now I’m up to only losing about three per hundred. So that means 97 percent. It means 97 out of a 100 kick the cancer. Probably I’ve worked with 1,200 people with cancer. Aajonus Vonderplanitz, www.wewant2live.com 280

Because I was borderline autistic and sickly I rarely played with other children. Near my 10th birthday I developed peritonitis which was a severe intestinal infection. Doctors misdiagnosed it as appendicitis. When they discovered that my appendix was fine, they took it out anyway "in case it causes you problems in the future". My bones were brittle, and I regularly broke bones in my limbs. I was diagnosed as borderline diabetic at 13. I developed angina pectoris muscle spasms in and around the heart by age 15½. I was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at that age. At 19 I developed an ulcer that turned tumorous after medical therapies. After surgery the incision turned tumorous from outer skin to stomach. It was large. Doctors ordered it irradiated. And that caused me to develop Multiple Myeloma (blood and bone cancers). Multiple Myeloma survivors are less than 0.01%. Doctors ordered chemotherapy, which is like napalming the body, destroying mostly healthy cells to try and eliminate a few cancer cells. For every cancer cell that is killed by chemotherapy, 1 billion healthy cells are killed. That is like killing everybody on the planet because you don't like 6 people.

I have my whole family and everything to support, so I can’t put them in jeopardy. It is the law that an MD, a licensed MD, cannot advise anything other than regular medical therapies unless a patient has been on the therapies for 10 years and failed or is on their death bed. So this woman is now on her death bed, and I can approach alternatives." So I said, "Well, that’s your conscience. All I can tell you to do at this point is to get her 10 to 15 dozen eggs, put them on her bed table, and tell her to eat as many as she can." So I got a call on Monday morning from this raspy- voiced woman, and she said, "It worked. I’m out of bed. What else can I do?" and I said, "Well, who are you?" She explained that her doctor had called me and I had told her to eat dozens of eggs and she had emphysema. Interview with Aajonus Vonderplanitz 280

The Cancer Treatment by Aajonus The chemotherapy made me a semi- invalid, and gave me psoriasis and bursitis. I refused to continue chemo after 3 months. I chose to die rather than be completely crippled for the rest of my short life. At that point I had had 7 "incurable" diseases. A volunteer for a hospice gave me a small booklet written by a woman who cured herself of cancer by drinking raw carrot juice. I thought that was pretty bizarre and unrealistic. But read the book anyway. I tried the carrot juice. Within 10 days my dyslexia vanished. There I was at 22 years old never having read more than 20 pages of a book, finally able to read. I read voraciously about diets and nutrition. If I went 7- 10 days without drinking the raw carrot juice dyslexia returned. I experimented with diets, foodcombining and sometimes supplements. The macrobiotic diet seemed to put my cancers in remission but exacerbated my diabetes and psoriasis. I began experimenting with helping people who had health problems. I experienced some spectacular healing with raw foods, especially with enormous consumption of raw fat, like raw cream from cows, in combination with vegetable juices. By my 25th birthday I was eating totally raw food vegan- fruitarian style. At 27 after 2 years eating

That’s right. . . no Salmonella. She was able to show that when antibiotics are not ever used on the herd (as stipulated in the organic standards) and when cows are not stressed (grass- fed and kept healthy) they simply do not slough off pathogens in their manure. The data collected at Organic Pastures was quite different from that found at other dairies. The typical conventional milk tank had either salmonella or E. coli O157:H7 detected about 30 percent of the time. In comparison, Organic Pastures has never had one pathogen— ever. To study this issue further, Organic Pastures contracted with BSK labs in Fresno to perform multiple challenge and recovery tests on our raw milk and raw colostrum. When 7 logs (10 million counts) of pathogens were added to one- milliliter samples of organic raw milk they would not grow. In fact they died off. The salmonella was so badly out- competed that it could not be found less than 24 hours later. The listeria drop was less dramatic and was similiar to the E.

I mounted a bicycle and peddled for 2Â˝ years all over North America from coast to coast and from Alaska to Central America. I lived off the earth. Sleeping on the ground or in trees when it rained. And picking fruit off plants. All of the physical stress that came from traveling and living in the elements helped burn up all of the sugar from fruitarianism. Osteoporosis became apparent, but I did not then as I should have attribute it to the demineralization caused by large fruit consumption. I felt euphoric most of the time I did not realize that my extreme highs were mania created excessive fruit. I searched for answers to complete healing. I wanted to reverse the damage done by medical therapies and not ever be bothered by any of my lingering diseases. I knew that I would not find answers in a society that postulated dictums based on theory. I wanted experience to be my teacher. I lived with somewhat primitive people learning their healing and dietary techniques. I observed healthy animals for weeks at a time. After 2Â˝ years my cancers resurged. Rather than fight it. I chose to die. I selected an old Native American burial ground and began fasting myself to death. After Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S.

"The lab concluded: ". . . organic raw milk and colostrum do not appear to support the growth of pathogens. . ." During the period 2000 through 2004 there were several listeria- related food recalls in California associated with pasteurized milk products and ice cream. During this same period more than 12 million servings of Organic Pastures products were consumed and not one person complained of illness and not one pathogen was ever found either by the state, FDA or Organic Pastures. This begs the bigger question. What is it that causes raw milk to kill pathogens? Just in the last 24 months, the FDA has approved lactoferrin as an approved method of treatment for pathogen reduction in beef slaughter plants. Raw milk naturally has levels of this enzyme- based pathogen killer. Pasteurization inactivates this and other enzymes that kill pathogens. These enzymes include lactoferrin, xanthine oxidase, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme and nisin. There are other interrelated enzymes and beneficial bacteria that also act on the pathogens to inhibit their growth. All of these systems are destroyed by pasteurization. It is no wonder that dairy plants that pasteurize must be kept absolutely spotless. There are no remaining safety systems in the processed milk (â&#x20AC;Ś)."

several weeks fasting I had an unusual experience with coyotes. They gave me a freshly killed wild jackrabbit. I thought it would kill me if I ate it raw. (I had been told by all of my medically and scientifically minded relatives that wild rabbits contained bacteria or virus that would kill a human.) I knew that fasting to death could take at least 60 days. I wanted to end my life more quickly, so I ate the rabbit raw. I returned to my campsite and lay down to die expecting severe stomach cramps that I was told accompanied bacterially or virally contaminated food. I felt euphoric, calm and happy. I thought that I was leaving my diseased body because I felt so good. But I woke the next morning having had the first completely restful sleep of my life. I was nearly age 30. I began hunting. I ate rattle- snakes and birds. I worked farms for raw milk, cream, eggs and chickens. Within a few months I felt robust and strong. I returned to Los Angeles to spread the wonderful news. Everybody thought that I had lost my mind. Over the next year my health increased by leaps and bounds because of the addition of raw meat to my raw diet. However because of misinformation about foodborne illness from bacteria and parasites I ate raw meat only two or three times a week usually fish or chicken. I always ate it with the fear that there would be a time Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S. Bass, Ph.D., with Aajonus Vonderplanitz, http://www.drbass.com/, http://www.wewant2live.com) 278

Our company ships product all over the world. We have been inspected by the FDA and the FDA has also never found a pathogen. It may seem strange to say or claim this, but Mother Nature is right, her blue print is right on point. It is mankind that has added variables that cause much of the concern for pathogens in our current market systems. Our consumers are made ill by pasteurized milk products and the additives and processing methods. Our consumers share their testimonials with us every day. Asthma, allergies, arthritis, immune- related disorders, autism, ADD, Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, rare enzyme deficiencies. . . the list goes on and on. In each of these cases raw milk or raw dairy products makes a dramatic improvement in health. There have been cases when patients have been written off by modern medicine only to return to perfect health after drinking raw colostrums and raw dairy products. Please see www.makersdiet.com for a story of one personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery from near death using raw dairy. It is imperative that the citizens of our nation, not just California, have an informed choice in foods. If raw milk was so horrible then why is it that raw milk has such an incredibly safe record here in California and in Colorado? I would argue that since we have been in business there have been many listeria recalls and food outbreaks with pasteurized milk. . . but none with organic raw milk.

when bacteria or parasites would sicken and kill me. I began to jog then run. I ran up to 13 miles, did 250 pushups with my feet 2- 3 feet off the ground, and 30 handstand pushups every day for 1 year. Because I had been so weak throughout my life and at this point I could do so much I felt invincible. People commented on how extraordinarily healthy I looked. I was hired by a health food store as the nutritionist. A few people listened and tried the raw meat, fish and chicken. Their increased health was always remarkable. I experimented with supplements. The more supplements I consumed the weaker I got. I realized within 6 months that supplements were toxic on a raw diet. Over the 2- year period I observed that most people who took megavitamin therapy developed toxic livers and glands. It showed up in their irises as well as temperaments and physical condition. But because they experienced an increase in energy. They thought it beneficial. Their highs were from toxic emergencies the liver sending out hormones calling forth glycogen to handle the toxicity. Supplement- toxicity is similar to coffee or cigarettes, most often producing debilitating side effects. It destroyed my desire and ability to exercise. I never returned to exercise and yet I developed

As an American we can buy raw eggs, raw meat, raw fresh juices, so why not raw dairy products? Show us one case of disease related to natural raw dairy products in Colorado or California. They are very hard to find. They are nearly all related to pasteurizer failure not raw dairy products intended for consumption. The dairy industry does not understand what I have explained here in detail. What the dairy industry believes is that raw milk contaminates pasteurized milk. This is not the case. Pasteurized milk kills the safety systems that control pathogens in raw milk and therefore permit unlimited growth of dangerous bacteria if present. Our products have what Mother Nature intended, a diversity of good bacteria and a wide range of essential enzymes including lactase for lactose digestion and phosphatase that is essential for the utilization of calcium. One reason raw milk is so much easier to digest compared to pasteurized milk is due to the presence of lactase, the enzyme that breaks down milk sugar and which many humans are unable to produce. The experts I have spoken with deny the presence of lactase in raw milk; however, it is the friendly bacteria in raw milk that facilitate the creation of lactase in the intestine where it is needed That is why lactoseintolerant people can drink raw milk without a problem. Pasteurization kills these friendly bacteria (â&#x20AC;Ś). Source: By Mark McAfee, Founder, Organic Pastures, The Safety of Raw Milk.

and redeveloped the physique that accompanies strenuous regular exercise. I continued eating raw meat once or twice weekly, and my health gradually increased. Whenever I experienced detoxification, healing was always a progress toward better functionality. I did not deteriorate as most people do on cooked foods or meatless raw foods. I knew I was on the right track by eating raw meat, but I could not set aside the bacteria and parasite phobias. I was especially concerned because the vague nerve to my stomach had been severed in surgery for stomach cancer. I had no hydrochloric acid to dissolve and annihilate bacteria and parasites upon entering my body. Science and medicine put me in the category of octogenarians who they say, are in danger of death from bacterial and parasitic invasion from lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. I continued to eat meat anyway. In my 35 year I misidentified a poisonous mushroom and ate it. It was the deadliest amanita mushroom, the 'death cap'. I ate enough to kill people my size. My cancers returned twice as bad as they had ever been, and it destroyed 90% of my liver. Along with severe liverpain, extreme weight loss. And body cramps, my diabetes returned. Every book on the death cap mushroom said that death came within 10 days and it 102 Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S.

was welcomed. No one in written history had survived after eating 1/15 the amount I had. I was a semi- invalid again. I healed slowly by eating plenty of raw fat. Too slowly. After 1 1/2 years of healing I began eating meats almost daily, including beef, lamb, buffalo, seafood and organically grown fowl. Healing time doubled and diabetes vanished. But it took me 6 1/2 years to recover to a somewhat balanced state of being and my cancers to reenter remission for the third time. It took 11 years to recover to where I had been before I consumed the poisonous mushroom. But I recovered completely. After 12 years eating raw meat and never having had any more than a little diarrhea that might have been associated with it, I learned to relax and not fear raw foodborne bacteria and parasites. It seemed to me - at that point - that all of that hullabaloo about raw food borne bacteria and parasites was superstitious like the witch hunt of old times. My research showed that the FDA's research on foodborne bacterial illness, 24- 81 million cases a year, stated that over 96% were cooked and processed canned and bottled food related. Raw was getting the rap, but cooked and processed were the culprits. I experimented and found that raw foods soured and/or spoiled with lots of bacterial activity but did not putrefy. Only cooked and processed food putrefied. Only cooked and processed foods contained lipid oxides and disease producing protein toxins. The worst that soured and spoiled raw food caused sometimes was nausea and diarrhea with occasional cramps and fever and, rarely, a little blood in the stool - whereas cooked and processed putrefied food often caused such severe poisoning that lives were lost or near death. It seems to me that science and medicine are in total denial or that they are protecting the processed food industry and restaurants. My nutritional career unofficially began in 1969.

about diet. Now that I look back on my life, I wonder how I could have been so confident, even arrogant, to advise anyone with the little knowledge and experience that I had. I knew a lot about disease but little about health and healing. I seemed to have a fairly good intuition for it. However, I adhered to certain idealistic concepts that interfered and sabotaged my intuition. I misled people into veganism and/or fruitarianisin because I believed that all meat was poisonous and bad karma. I didn't realize that something had to be killed to sustain life whether animal, vegetable or fruit. That is a law of this planet. I did not realize that only cooked meats contained poisons (i.e. lipid oxides and protein toxins). In my early years as a nutritionist I helped many and hurt many. Because my help was always greater than my mishaps, I continued to counsel. After I learned about the tremendous properties of raw fats my successes reached 60%. After I learned about the fantastic healing characteristics of eating raw meat, my successes with disease rose to 75%. After I learned the techniques for amounts and particulars that certain foods had, my successes reached 85% and better, depending upon the disease. Occasionally there was relatively immediate healing. Most often though, healing requires time to build strength, detoxify and regenerate. The fact of healing according to Dr. F. Pottenger's work is that it takes 5 generations to achieve optimal health. Many of our members are Natural Hygienists and have chosen to eat a vegetarian (vegan and raw primarily) diet. Many fast on occasion to allow their body to eliminate the toxic condition from daily stress. How do you view this practice of fasting and what experiences or data could you share with us on these views? It takes approximately 10 days to replace every cell (one generation) in the blood, 2 1/2 years to replace one generation (every cell) of glands. Approximately 4 1/2 years to replace one generation of arteries, approximately 5 years to replace one generation of intestines and tendons, approximately 6 years to replace one generation of cartilage, and Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S. Bass, Ph.D., with Aajonus Vonderplanitz, http://www.drbass.com/, http://www.wewant2live.com) 278

104

approximately 7 1/2 years to replace one generation of bone. Therefore, to achieve one's optimal health in a particular body part, it takes 5 generations: that is 7 weeks for the blood, 2 years for glands, 22 1/2 years for the arteries, 25 years for intestines and tendons, 30 years for cartilage, and 37 1/2 years for bone. Usually, healing enough to stop disturbing pain can be achieved during the first generation of healing. Primal Diet and Fasting (...) I have completed approximately 75 fasts from 1969- 1981 of various lengths - many 1- day- a- week fasts, several 5- day, 10- day and 15- day fasts. One 31- day fast and one 41- day fast. During 60% of them I drank water only with no cheating ever. During 40% I drank all or some of my urine and a little water. During the 41- day fast I drank all of my urine and a little water. Each one, including 1day fasts was difficult. The easier of the longterm fasts was the 41- day drinking urine because of the nutrients in the urine. Urine is the blood with most of the red blood cells removed and a little ammonium added by the kidneys. During the 41- day fast (I should call it a urine feast) I lost the least amount of weight and energy, had the fewest headaches and had better disposition but my breath was atrocious all of the time. The 31- day fast on water only I did at age 27. It took me 2 1/2 years to regain my equilibrium. The last intellectually motivated fast I did at age 33 - the 41- day urine fast. It took me 1 1/2 years to regain my strength. I found that fasting longer than 3 days was impossible without daily enemas to dilute the toxins in the bowels. Enemas destroyed the bacteria that is the major constituent of feces but so did the toxicity from fasting. I had constant headaches, depression, anxiety and nausea without enemas. I stopped fasting when I realized that the side effects of forced- fasting were greater than the benefits. The benefit of ketosis, cellular cannibalism, Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S. Bass, Ph.D., with Aajonus Vonderplanitz, http://www.drbass.com/, http://www.wewant2live.com) 278

105

which usually occurs within 12 hours of fasting is that it reduces the overpopulation of sluggish cells, leaving the stronger cells and those that overproduce prostaglandins. This is a process of mass genocide via cannibalism. The deleterious effects are that blood maintains a higher acid ratio weakening and damaging red blood cells and their ability to transport oxygen. If fasting continues beyond 2 days severe blood- fat deficiency occurs. The body leeches fats from the lymph system and cells to maintain it. This fat- leeching weakens the immune system. Another deleterious effect of fasting is that the necessary bacteria level in the intestines diminishes. Since 60- 90% of fecal matter is born of bacteria, constipation results and severely diminishes bacterial synthesis of B vitamins and amino acids. This further weakens and diminishes the immune system. Another side effect from fasts, resulting from blood- fat end lymph deficiencies is that many toxins from either industrial pollution or natural by- products of metabolism are freed. They irritate, burn and often imbed in the stronger cells, therefore weakening them. Fat, especially in lymph, usually binds with toxins and either neutralizes or escorts them out of the body through the mucus membranes, skin or bowels. If great collections of these toxins occur during fasting, kidney damage results. These side- effects usually create edema, especially when eating is resumed. The body often tries to dilute the toxins when it does not have enough fat to chelate and remove them. Mutations sometimes result. ...My conclusion after 13 years experience and research with intellectually motivated fasts is that fasts are often more deleterious than helpful. They may have their place, but I won t gamble with people's lives using fasts as therapy. When certain situations are favorable and if an individual has no appetite, I may suggest that they fast until hungry. However, if the individual is anorexic, I do not suggest that they fast. I have replaced fasts with a formula of raw vegetable juices (rarely fruit juices) and raw eggs. Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S.

This supplies the nutrients to form solvents to remove toxicity and the fats necessary to eliminate them from the body. It is not as dramatic an experience, but it works well, and more people are able to do it and still function. Fasting and Health (...) Concluding that because colds and flus often cease during fasts does not mean that health is improved. It has been my experience that colds and flus and all other diseases are detoxification. I have experienced and observed that colds and flus often ceased during fasts because the body could no longer tolerate such major detoxification. Some detoxification continued to occur during fasts, however it was mainly the tremendous toxicity from the body cannibalism (acidosis). Weaker cells are consumed to feed healthier cells. Fasts force the survival- of- the- fittest reality as in most starved species. This in consequence creates a somewhat healthier body because it eliminates so many weaker and decaying cells. In most circumstances, because the body usually requires much time and nutrients, especially fats and proteins, to detoxify and recover from fasts and because most people do not eat diets that provide proper nutrients, people lack the nutrients necessary to ideally enter regular major detoxification like colds and flus. Especially in our toxic environment bodies need major detoxification regularly. Primal diet Ratio (...) For each individual the proper ratio of raw animal products may vary. Experience has shown me that over time raw animal products produce the calmest, most balanced human nature with excellent mental clarity. For the last few years my raw animal products consumption has been approximately 80% by volume of my diet. I restrict high Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S.

107

fructose fruit to one a day and almost always eat it with a high fat food such as unsalted raw cheese, raw butter, raw cream, raw milk, raw egg(s), avocado and/or raw coconut. As an example of the extreme, the Eskimo ate 99% raw animal products and lived free of degenerative disease before white men introduced cooking cauldrons, breads and refined sugar to them. By several accounts of world travelers and explorers they considered the Eskimo the happiest of all races. Their first case of dental decay was 50 years after cauldrons, breads and refined sugar were introduced. The dental caries only existed among those who ate some or all of white man's food. Cancer never occurred among primitive Eskimo. I resisted a predominantly animal products diet for fear I would feel dull and sluggish because of the low enzyme and mineral content of feed given to farm animals. When I finally attempted it I felt dull and sluggish. As a vitamin, enzyme and mineral supplement I introduced 1 quart a day of raw vegetable juice divided into 5 or 6 portions, often adding 1 ounce raw cream, raw milk or raw coconut cream to each portion, or ate a small amount of unsalted raw cheese. The juice perfectly balanced me and prevented the craving for high fructose fruit that resulted from eating animal products. I avoid the high fructose fruit consumption because it causes manic thought and lack of regular clarity. I eat from 3/4 - 3 lbs of meat almost daily (that is, red meat and/or seafood and/or fowl). Raw Diet and Health (â&#x20AC;Ś) While I was a raw- food fruitarian/vegan my pulse rate averaged 62, blood pressure averaged 107/70, and body temperature 96.8 deg. I was frequently manic, easily tired or exhausted and quick to be outraged. As a raw- flesh eater my pulse averages 70, blood pressure 127/80 and body temperature 97.7 deg F. I rarely experience mania or Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S. Bass, Ph.D., with Aajonus Vonderplanitz, http://www.drbass.com/, http://www.wewant2live.com) 278

lethargy, easily remain calm, and have at least five times more energy and clarity. I have not had a bone scan. However, my bones do not easily break as they did when I was a child. I have had several situations where if I had had osteoporosis I would have broken bones but did not. In one situation where had a severe bicycle accident I broke seven bones in my foot. Six hours later after a 14- year old girl set the bones in my foot I walked 3 miles. The next day I bicycled 12 miles. I was completely painless in 2 weeks. My bones healed 3 times faster than the average person. Such skeletal healing does not occur if osteoporosis exists. Primal Diet and Sex Drive (â&#x20AC;Ś) I cherish all enjoyments of embodiment. My greatest pleasure is sexual sensuality. - It is the highest measure of bodily euphoria, the best feeling. - It is a balance for the routines of society that often lack pleasure. - When I was under stress, which is rare for my state of excellent health now, it released tension. When I was a vegan/fruitarian, ejaculatory orgasm was pleasurable but draining. I got depressed, anxious and irritable if had regular ejaculations. I have always had a high level of sex hormones and have always since age 3 craved orgasm. My sexual appetite did not change on any diet that I tried. On a raw vegan/fruitarian diet I became more sexually frustrated. Now that I consume so much raw protein and fat, I enjoy sex 1- 6 hours, have up to 3 ejaculations, and maintain energy with only 5- 6 hours sleep daily. I feel like I have finally achieved and chosen heaven on Earth. Regarding sexual energy as a health indicator seems erroneous. Some people simply do not have active sex glands and have little sex hormones - resulting in low sex drive. However, they can be incredibly healthy.

Primal Diet and Physical Conditioning (â&#x20AC;Ś) When people don't eat enough stable and/or digestible protein they lack proteins to maintain all tissue, including muscle. I have found that raw nuts, seeds and germinated grains and nuts do not provide most people with stable protein for properly building and maintaining well- formed tissue. When most people eat cooked protein they consume lipid oxides and protein toxins causing unstable nutrients for building or maintaining all tissues unless they exercise. When they stop exercising muscles most often dissipate readily and easily. The seven- year statement was in the context of 1986. It has been 19 years as of April 1998 that I have not engaged in any form of physical exercise except roller- skating once a month and regular sex. Because I consume raw proteins and fat in the form of 1- 3 pounds of meat (seafood, red meat and fowl) daily, my body stays naturally muscular and fit. Most animals, if fed their fresh, raw natural diets maintain excellent tone without exercise. Primal diet and Fructose diets (...) High fructose diets destabilize mineral levels causing osteoporosis, including tooth decay and periodontitis. The only way to counter this is with tremendous exercise or emotional stress that burns up the sugars as quickly as possible. As I mentioned above, high fructose diets as well as my high carbohydrate diet cause blood sugar problem's resulting in manic thinking and/or behavior, extreme fatigue or tiredness, irritability, impatience and in some people frequent or uninterrupted depression.

Primal diet and Cold Pressed Oils (...) Cold- pressed- below- 96 deg F oils mainly provide solvents for detoxification. - They may also be made into any fats as fuel, lubrication and chelation, but not much. These oils are chiefly cleansers. The combination of vegetables (leaves, stalks and roots) and cold pressed oils is most often inadvisable. Vegetation in the human digestive tract is mainly undigested. It would take at least one more stomach, 2 1/2 times more length of digestive tract and 60,000 times more of the enzymes that disassemble cellulose to derive much protein and fat from vegetables. If you put cold- pressed oil, without being premixed with raw vinegar, on vegetables the oil coats the vegetables and further reduces the digestibility of the vegetables. Primal diet and SAD diet (...) In order for the body to handle the altered chemicals and compounds in cooked food the body must create enzymes that will utilize them to the best of its ability. Because these enzymes are very different from those naturally made from and for the utilization of raw food, I call them enzyme mutations. If the body cannot make the enzyme mutations to utilize adulterated nutrients caused by cooking, allergies will develop as more of the nonutilizable chemicals and compounds collect in the body. Primal Diet - A new food group? (...) Actually, the writer of the Forword to Volume 2 of my book called it another food group. He did this to stress that the healthy effects of eating raw fats and meats are so different from the poisonous effects of eating cooked fats and meats. Meats and fats that are cooked produce extreme toxicity, whereas meats and fats that are raw produce no toxic Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S. Bass, Ph.D., with Aajonus Vonderplanitz, http://www.drbass.com/, http://www.wewant2live.com) 278

effects. Everyone should completely disregard all knowledge of cooked fats and meats when considering them raw. For example, science and medicine separate HDL and LDL cholesterol, calling one good and the other bad. When fats are raw, both HDL and LDL cholesterol are good, and a high cholesterol level is beneficial. It reveals that, along with the fresh raw fats that will lubricate, strengthen, fuel and cleanse, toxic cholesterol from cooked and stored fats is being removed from the body to be eliminated. Primal Diet and Nuts & Seeds (...) They are not easy to digest for most people. I suggest that people eat them only when they have a craving for them. Usually people who eat meat do not crave nuts and seeds. Also Dr. Strueyer of the Costner excavations determined that as Native Americans began eating nuts and seeds they developed osteoporosis. Primal Diet and Osteoporosis (...) According to Vilhjalmur Stefansson in his book "Cancer: Disease Of Civilization? - Chapter 14, The Longevity Of Primitive Eskimos", there was only one community of Eskimo reported to have had a short life- span. This report seems to have been used to propagandize that Eskimo lived short lives. In all other reports primitive Eskimo lived lives as long as we do, a few reached age 100 years. Eskimos who ate their normal animal diet enjoyed bones and teeth that were so strong they were able to chew on bones during evening congregations. Osteoporosis only occurred in Eskimo who ate white man's refined foods. As I stated earlier, Native Americans developed osteoporosis when they consumed more nuts and grains according to Dr. Stuart Strueyer. It seems that Native Americans were not able to assimilate the starch in nuts and grains, forming Advanced Glycation End- products (AGE's), that is, glycotoxins. Pasteurized dairy is known to Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S. Bass, Ph.D., with Aajonus Vonderplanitz, http://www.drbass.com/, http://www.wewant2live.com) 278

cause osteoporosis. In Medical Doctor William Campbell Douglass' book "The Milk Book", he supplies many scientific reports that show raw milk causes strong bones free of osteoporosis. Dr. Francis Pottenger. M.D. demonstrated in his work with 900 cats over a decade that raw dairy and raw meat built strong bones without the consumption of bone. My experience with others has repeatedly confirmed that osteoporosis reversed by eating raw meat and raw milk. According to Vilhjalmur Stefansson in his book "Not By Bread Alone - Chapter 4: "The Laboratory Check," no osteoporosis can he associated with eating an exclusively animal and water diet, even when some meat was cooked. After I received irradiation and chemo therapies, my cases of periodontal and carries degeneration became extreme. My teeth moved loosely, and my gums bled from the slightest touch even while eating. I was advised to have all my teeth removed. I refused, and instead I began consuming large quantities of raw milk. Within months my conditions improved considerably and continued to improve for almost two years. But then I became a raw fruitarian/vegan. and within two years after becoming a fruitarian/vegan my teeth again began to decay. I thought it was a passing detoxification but it lasted 4 years. When I began eating raw dairy again and raw meat, decay subsided. After I ate the poisonous mushroom, periodontal and carries degeneration resumed. Abscesses were near constant. Pain was chronic, lasting for sometimes a month at a time. Three wisdom teeth and one molar rotted and self- extracted in my mouth within 1 1/2 years. That is when I began to eat raw meat on a daily basis. This controlled the pain to a large degree. Now, 17 years later, I have many opened cavities which have sealed themselves. I have no false teeth in my mouth and am missing only one molar. Four of seven crowns remain in my mouth from 1978. My teeth are so firmly connected to the strong jaw bones that I have only experienced pain during detoxes once every 2- 3 years, lasting no more than 3 days. Even though my teeth are in poor appearance, they are strong.

Primal Diet and Cholesterol Levels (...) I have experienced that cholesterol levels should be ignored. I have found that it doesn't matter what the cholesterol level is if the cholesterol is taken or made from raw fats. Cooked fats are the problem because they are cauterized and can no longer exchange ions properly if at all. Therefore they eventually, in 20- 50 years, dry and crack. If the fat were a part of an artery the artery would dry and crack. Raw fats continue to exchange ions no matter how long they are in the body, remaining much more fluid. According to the immense research of W C Douglass MD, a high raw fat diet does not cause any heart conditions especially regarding the consumption of raw milk. I was confused by all of the same assumptive theories - that is why I rejected most and found my own results. Relating to my personal experience I point out that I had angina from age 15. I have not suffered angina since I added flesh to my diet. More than 90% of my clients who had high cholesterol levels for years on cooked diets lowered their cholesterol levels to normal within 6 months on a raw diet, that included tremendous amounts of raw fat and meat. Evidence has shown me that the presumption that raw dairy was responsible for Airola's death is likely to be false. Primal Diet and Supermarket Products (...) From laboratory analysis that I arranged with a technician on feces from raw meat eaters who ate supermarket quality red meat, tests showed that the same concentrations of toxins that were found in the fat of the meat passed out in the feces with the fat molecules relatively unchanged. These tests were done 9 years ago. I do not know if these same results could occur with present- day concentrations of chemicals and processed animal meals being fed to animals. I eat antibiotic- free and hormone- free red meat whenever I can, usually Coleman meat that I purchase at health food stores. When Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S.

traveling to some locations I eat supermarket red meat. I have not had any ill reaction to supermarket red meat. I eat tremendous amounts of raw fat to bind with toxins and eliminate them from the body: that is one of the major functions of fats in our polluted society. I only eat poultry that is raised antibiotic free and free range. I do not eat farmed fish (...). Avocados are an excellent source of fat: however, when I tried using avocado to stabilize dental conditions, I rarely received the beneficial results that I do with animal fat. I experienced that in most people avocado is utilised for hormonal fluids and functions, and for detoxification. I have not done any laboratory testing on why nut and seed fats rarely lubricate and stabilize the human body. I concluded from others research that the main problem was the result of improper starch utilization forming glycotoxins. I have experienced that nut and seed fats are mainly utilized for detoxification such as in the making of body solvents. Animal fat stabilizes or soothes the tissues readily and easily in most cases. Again, I have only seen evidence that raw meat and raw dairy reverse osteoporosis, not cause it. Primal Diet and Parasytes (...) The parasite myth is that they are pathogenic always. It has been my experience that parasites are able to eat and digest tremendous quantities of decaying tissue in short periods: that is a detoxification process. When an individual has parasites. s/he is afforded the quickest process of detoxification. However, unless s/he eats enough and assimilates enough protein to regenerate cells and replace the tissue, s/he is more likely to have ulcers that may fester and kill her/him. I have found that with the consumption of raw meats that provide the nutrients necessary for quick regeneration parasites are beneficial. By the use of antibiotics, strains of bacteria and viruses have Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S.

developed that are immune to all known antibiotics. Medical science has discovered that bacteria and viruses can mutate, becoming immune to existing antibiotics. This is creating a very weak race. Basically, medical science creates a weak human race that will be highly susceptible to advanced bacteria and viruses. This could likely result in a plague that would make any previous plague look minor, resulting in an extinction level event. Primal Diet and Healing Clay (...) Clay is like a food, especially when moist, and therefore the minerals are not inorganic. The body can utilize the minerals fairly well. However, as I state in my book, fresh raw vegetable juices provide the best, although in some cases incomplete, mineral concentrations. Cheese is also a concentrated source of organic minerals. My conclusions are always based on consistent good results and research. Primal Diet and Distilled Water (...) I don't remember any negative literature on the subject. I drank distilled water for nearly two years, 1969- 70. My skin became edemic, thinner, and psoriasis increased. In the 80's I experimented feeding distilled water to animals. Over the equivalent 2- year period of their lives, they developed slight osteoporosis, fragile tissue and general edema. After placing one suffering group on raw milk and another on regular mineral water, both groups reversed the osteoporosis, thinning skin and edema. The raw milk group reversed it in 1/3 the time that the other group experienced.

Suppression of the Primal Diet (...) I tried to publish many of my experiments over the years. Continually, I was refused for lack of appropriate academic credentials, proper laboratory environments, and because my findings and conclusions were too contradictory. People everywhere, especially in the press, are literally afraid to risk health. Recently, I was asked to write an article entitled "Health or Disease: Do We have a Choice?" for Hispanos magazine by an editor whom I have known for many years. After 3 days' work I submitted it. The editorin- chief refused to publish it because of its controversial content. Primal Diet and Unheated Honey and Bee Polen (...) I first learned about it from a military medical doctor in Central America who observed that wounds healed 3- 5 times faster if unheated honey was applied to wounds. I experimented. both topically and internally with human and non- human animals and proved the same results. I noticed that the health of the digestive tract and. generally all tissues improved considerably in most eases when considerable amounts of unheated honey were consumed.

Primal Diet and Vaccines (Written by Aajonus Vonderplanitz, The Primal Diet, pages 181- 182, 1997, Publisher: Carnelian Bay Castle Press; www.wewant2live.com) 284

I am reluctant to mention the harm that vaccines produce because most everyone is adamantly brainwashed that vaccines produce immunity. However, I would be negligent to ignore how vaccines actually affect health. Allopathic medicine is based on the "germ theory", that microbes and viruses, cause disease. Medical science bases the use of vaccines on the theory that the body forms antibodies to "fight" natural viruses. They believe that these antibodies live on after the virus is contained, thereby creating immunity. First we must consider the facts known to evaluate medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s viral theory. Science has proved that virus is not alive, that they are predominantly protein but that they contain organic DNA. Science has proved that virus increase only in the presence of live cells, and that they cause certain cells, and/or parts of cells to dissolve. What is believed and taken as fact but not proved, is that viruses are nondiscriminatingly destructive "things" that selfreplicate. That is like saying that laundry soap, because it is found in homes inhabited by humans, self- replicates. Those assumption and conclusion are shallow and ludicrous. Medical science operates from fear, and it attacks the body. All medical procedures for treating disease are written by pharmaceutical- related individuals and groups. That is a severe conflict of interest. Self- produced health or medication- dependent profit, which do you think that they want? A rational and logical conclusion would be that virus are solvents (cleansers) manufactured by individual cells to dissolve degenerative tissue (disease) caused by accumulated waste and industrial toxins, including medicines. Virus contain DNA because cells have used substances within themselves to synthesize virus; DNA is a part of that.

Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S. Bass, Ph.D., with Aajonus Vonderplanitz, http://www.drbass.com/, http://www.wewant2live.com) 278

When the cleansing and healing processes cease, cells stop producing large amounts of virus. Normally, healthier bodies symbiotically utilize bacteria and parasites to cleanse themselves of cellular degenerative tissue and organic waste. They are the bodies preferred janitors. Bacteria and parasites consume the degenerative tissue and organic waste and reduce it to a tiny fraction of the original mass eaten. They can consume 100 times their weight and reduce it to 1- percent excretion. When eating a healthy raw diet, our bodies easily secrete and/or excrete the 1- percent excretions from bacteria and parasites. However, when bodies become too toxic with industrial toxins, including medicines, the bacteria and parasites are poisoned to death. Under such toxic conditions, the only cleansing method that the body can utilize is virus. So, cells synthesize viruses. I reiterate, viruses are solvents that dissolve degenerative tissue and organic waste. They are beneficial in preventing disease; they do not cause disease. The symptoms that accompany viral, bacterial or parasitical detoxifications are a necessary process but can be mitigated with the consumption of plenty of raw eggs and raw dairy fats. The key is: We should trust, nurture and understand the body and Nature, not fear them. Inoculating people to prevent viral infections is ridiculous and dangerous. After many years of experimentation, Louis Pasteur realized that the idea of vaccination was doomed. He confessed on his deathbed to his assistants that a poor (toxic) environment within the body creates disease. Microbes do not cause disease. Regarding the immediate trauma that vaccines cause in many people, the eminent scientist and physician, Dr. William F. Koch, M.D., Ph.D. said: The injection of any serum, vaccine or even penicillin has shown a very marked increase in the incidence of polio - at least 400%. Statistics are so conclusive no one can deny it. Reference: Interview by Dr. Stanley S. Bass, Ph.D., with Aajonus Vonderplanitz, http://www.drbass.com/, http://www.wewant2live.com) 278

119

The long term effects of vaccines are just as harmful. Vaccines are made of disease, mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde and other poisonous chemicals. Pharmaceutical houses manufacture diseases in animal tissue. The diseases are sterilized to make vaccines. Sterilization alters the RNA, DNA, structure and actions of diseases and viruses. When a sterilized disease or virus enters the body, the body tries to analyze it and create antibodies to regulate the disease or virus. The body cannot find the logical reason for the unnatural disease or virus. Nor can it find the key to the time that the bacteria or virus will be active. Therefore the body creates mutant antibodies that do not go dormant for up to decades. These mutant antibodies remain active long after the disease or virus becomes inactive. The mutant antibodies eat sub- particles from the inside of amino acids (proteins) in the blood. That renders proteins unstable. The amount of proteins damaged and lost to mutant antibodies depends on the number of vaccines. Because amino acids are the primary building blocks of cells, the consequence is cellular malnutrition. In all animals, the malnutrition causes gradual genetic mutations, resulting in weaknesses, diseases, malfunctions and deformities. The life span of mutant antibodies varies, from at least 1 year (penicillin) up to 50 years (polio).2 Each vaccine multiples the number of mutant antibodies, which increases cellular malnutrition and results in greater weaknesses, diseases, malfunctions and deformities.

Priessnitz started sharing his observations with others and by the age of 19 he became was invited to Bohemia and Moravia to give treatments. Initially he did not charge for his services, but he observed that those that paid for their services tended to get better faster. Priessnitz's practice grew and overtime he added AIR TREATMENTS, a SIMPLE DIET, AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TO COLD WATER REGIMEN to heal his patients. At age twenty- six he established the first water- cure institute in Graefenberg, Austria, achieving curative success and subsequent fame in his homeland. "Our task", he would say, "is not to treat the disease, but the patient." Wilhelm Winternitz, MD carried on this practice and did much to popularize the therapy in his native Vienna. "Priessnitz has always been granted the status of "father of hydrotherapy" but rarely is acknowledged as the progenitor of naturopathic medicine. Priessnitz is important to the history of naturopathic medicine as the first person to whom the term Naturarzt (nature doctor) can be applied." Kirchfield & Wade 122

History of Hydrotherapy (The following information is excerpted from: 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, Hydrotherapy, psychology.wikia.com/) 4

Hydrotherapy, formerly called hydropathy, is probably the oldest form of medical treatment. It involves the use of water for soothing pains and treating diseases. Its use has been recorded as early as ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilizations. Egyptian royalty bathed with essential oils and flowers, while Romans had communal public baths for their citizens. It has been long accepted that hot water springs can improve health by increasing circulation. Hippocrates prescribed bathing in spring water for sickness. A Dominican monk, Sebastian Kneipp again revived it, during the 19th century. His book My Water Cure in 1889 was published and translated into many languages. (â&#x20AC;Ś) Thousands of years of treatments have built an enormous amount of expertise, but the alleged benefits had little supporting evidence from science until approximately 30 years ago. A 2006 survey of research in Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases discusses the vast amount of highquality studies showing the effectiveness of hydrotherapy. A new field of research focuses on the cost- effectiveness of hydrotherapy vs. other forms of treatment. The following material is from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, and thus represents the state of the field at the beginning of the 1900s. Like many descriptive names, the word "hydropathy" is defective and even misleading, the active agents in the treatment being heat and cold, of which water is little more than the vehicle, and not the only one. "Thermotherapeutics" (or "thermotherapy") is a term less open to objection. Hydropathy, as a formal system, dates from about 1829, when Vincent Priessnitz (1799- 1851), a farmer of GrĂ¤fenberg in Silesia, Austrian Empire, began his public career in the paternal homestead, extended so as to accommodate the increasing numbers Reference: 1911 Encyclopedia Hydrotherapy, psychology.wikia.com/

attracted by the fame of his cures. Two English works, however, on the medical uses of water had been translated into German in the century preceding the rise of the movement under Priessnitz. One of these was by Sir John Floyer (1649 - 1734), a physician of Lichfield, who, struck by the remedial use of certain springs by the neighboring peasantry, investigated the history of cold bathing, and published in 1702 his IvxpoXovoLa, or the History of Cold Bathing, both Ancient and Modern. The book ran through six editions within a few years, and the translation was largely drawn upon by Dr J. S. Hahn of Silesia, in a work published in 1738, On the Healing Virtues of Cold Water, Inwardly and Outwardly applied, as proved by Experience. The other work was that of Dr James Currie (1756- 1805) of Liverpool, entitled Medical Reports on the Effects of Water, Cold and Warm, as a remedy in Fevers and other Diseases, published in 1797, and soon after translated into German by Michaelis (1801) and Hegewisch (1807). It was highly popular, and first placed the subject on a scientific basis. Hahn's writings had meanwhile created much enthusiasm among his countrymen, societies having been everywhere formed to promote the medicinal and dietetic use of water; and in 1804 Professor Ortel of Ansbach republished them and quickened the popular movement by unqualified commendation of water drinking as a remedy for all diseases. In him the rising Priessnitz found a zealous advocate, and doubtless an instructor also. At GrĂ¤fenberg, to which the fame of Priessnitz drew people of every rank and many countries, medical men were conspicuous by their numbers, some being attracted by curiosity, others by the desire of knowledge, but the majority by the hope of cure for ailments which had as yet proved incurable. Many records of experiences at GrĂ¤fenberg were published, all more or less favorable to the claims of Priessnitz, and some enthusiastic in their estimate of his genius and penetration; Captain Claridge introduced hydropathy into England in 1840, his writings and lectures, and later those of Sir W.

Johnson, making numerous converts, and filling the establishments opened soon after at Islalvern and elsewhere. In Germany, France and America hydropathic establishments multiplied with great rapidity. Antagonism ran high between the old practice and the new. Unsparing condemnation was heaped by each on the other; and a legal prosecution, leading to a royal commission of inquiry, served but to make Priessnitz and his system stand higher in public estimation. Increasing popularity diminished before long that timidity which had in great measure prevented trial of the new method from being made on the weaker and more serious class of cases, and had caused hydropathists to occupy themselves mainly with a sturdy order of chronic invalids well able to bear a rigorous regimen and the seventies of unrestricted crisis. The need of a radical adaptation to the former class was first adequately recognized by John Smedley, a manufacturer of Derbyshire, who, impressed in his own person with the seventies as well as the benefits of the cold water cure, practiced among his workpeople a milder form of hydropathy, and began about 1852 a new era in its history, founding at Matlock a counterpart of the establishment at GrĂ¤fenberg. Ernst Brand (1826- 1897) of Berlin, Raljen and Theodor von Jurgensen of Kiel, and Karl Liebermeister (1833- 1901) of Basel, between 1860 and 1870, employed the cooling bath in abdominal typhus with striking results, and led to its introduction to England by Dr. Wilson Fox. In the Franco- German War the cooling bath was largely employed, in conjunction frequently with quinine; and it now holds a recognized position in the treatment of hyperpyrexia. The wet sheet pack has become part of medical practice; the Turkish bath, introduced by David Urquhart (1805- 1877) into England on his return from the East, and ardently adopted by Richard Barter, has become a public institution, and, with the morning tub and the general practice of water drinking, is the most noteworthy of the many contributions by hydropathy to public health.

„The lifesaving work of Dr. Kneipp remains forgotten."

(- 1850 AD) Sebastian Kneipp, M.D. Working Summary: Cancer Healing with Hydrotherapy. He revolutionized naturopathic medicine in the 19 century. Books: "My Water Cure" by Sebastian Kneipp (1891), the Cold Water Cure by Vincent Priessnitz Sebastian Kneipp (18211897) He revolutionized Naturopathic Medicine in the 19th century.

(The following information is been excerpted from: The life of Sebastian Kneipp, www.kneipp.ie) 5

Sebastian Kneipp was born as the fourth child in Stephansried near Ottobeuren. His childhood was marked by poverty and deprivation. In 1846 Kneipp contracted pulmonary tuberculosis. His health deteriorated completely in the spring of 1849 at the beginning of his theological studies. During this difficult time, he drew courage and hope from a book published in 1743 on the healing powers of water written by Dr. Johann Siegmund Hahn. He put the findings described in this book into practice in the form of reckless experimentation upon him. One day that year, he had an experience, which changed his life completely. He ran gasping and wheezing and as if in a trance to the Danube, tore off his clothes and dived into the river. Overheated though he was, he immersed himself up to the neck in the icy water 126

"Dr. Kneipp set up the first modern hydrotherapy spa, the Water University of Grafenberg – now known as Jeseník Spa, in the mountains of Czech Republic in 1829." www.UrbanHealth.com 6 "I would like to know which illnesses cannot invade someone with a weak lifestyle; illnesses which physically and mentally well balanced people make nothing of. A soft life opens the doors wide to many illnesses." - Sebastian Kneipp (1821- 1897) "Hydrotherapy may be defined as the use of water in any of its three forms, solid, liquid, or vapor, internally or externally, in the treatment of cancer, disease or trauma (…). Treatments stimulate an increase in leukocytes (white blood cells) and neutrophils, thus mobilizing the body’s defenses against disease. The resultant increased blood flow brings about greatly improved oxygenation necessary for proper healing (…). Oxygenation assists in the fight because cancer does not like an oxygenated environment.

for the count of three, got out, dressed again and ran home as fast as he could. The result was amazing: Kneipp felt so increasingly refreshed and better that he repeated the experiment three days later. Again he felt an invigorating and refreshing sense of well- being. From then on, he took brief immersions in the freezing cold waters of the Danube two or three times a week. In addition, he prescribed himself half baths and rinses. This was the birth of Kneipp hydrotherapy. Sebastian Kneipp completely regained his health and his vital energy was once again restored to the full. His "KNEIPP CURE" - a system of healing involving the application of water through various methods, temperatures and pressures - is still hugely popular across Europe. Hydrotherapy is a world based on water, vapor, ice, steam, and water at hot and cold temperatures to MAINTAIN AND RESTORE HEALTH. THE HEALING WORKOUT: The concept of half rinses is simple: a physical exertion to warm the body, then a very short, cold, stimulating shock after which the skin is left wet, followed by immediate physical exertion to warm the body again. A similar procedure is to alternate hot and cold showers about which you will be 127

Hydrotherapy Treatments aid in repair of diseased tissues. Hydrotherapy affects not only the immediate skin areas, but also exerts reflex effects elsewhere in the body through the nervous system. For instance, heat over the abdominal wall decreases spasms of the intestinal tract; while heat over kidneys and lower abdomen increases urine production. The treatments are nontoxic and safe. Contraindications may be seen in individuals with multiple sclerosis (cold hydrotherapy is more beneficial), diabetes, high blood pressure, heart and vascular diseases. These individuals will need prior medical review. For the cancer individual there is an additional important benefit in hydrotherapy treatments. Many types of cancer cells are much more sensitive to heat than are normal cells. If temperatures can be raised high enough (104 degrees F or more), and long enough, death of cancer cells may result. Research has shown that when an individual has an intravenous or rectal application of laetrile there may be a temperature increase in the tumor mass of 4- 5 degrees F. When this localized increase is added to total body hyperthermia many benefits have been noted, including tumor shrinkage and stimulation of detoxification.

revealed on the upcoming pages. If your health problem is localized, the procedure may include HEAT AND ICE PACKS. The key lies in repetitions! If you want to succeed in building up powerful health, make this exercise your DAILY HABIT! THE BOTTOM LINE: The legacy of Sebastian Kneipp lies in his MAGNIFICIENT lifelong work. He left a logical, holistically oriented therapy concept which is appropriate for all age groups, especially in preventative health-care, but also in the TREATMENT OF ACUTE AND CHRONIC ILLNESSES. Hot or cold water administered externally or internally can be effective in treating conditions ranging from stress and pain to the many toxins, parasites, bacteria, and viruses that can cause diseases, including cancer. Simplified, hydrotherapy is the NATURE’S CONDITIONING for YOUR BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT. It increases the count of body's white blood cell, turning BACTERIA, VIRUSES, CANCER CELLS, and all other invaders into dust. It aids the body in purging itself of accumulated toxins. It increases testosterone and stamina, and much more! Finally, it produces endorphins, which bring your body and mind in a state of relaxation, which is essential in the healing process. Hydrotherapy makes your body, mind, and spirit BULLET-PROOF! 128

How it works "The recuperative and healing properties of hydrotherapy are based on its mechanical and/or thermal effects. The nerves carry impulses felt at the skin deeper into the body, where they are instrumental in; · Stimulating the immune system, · Influencing the production of stress hormones, · Invigorating the circulation and digestion, · Encouraging blood flow, and · Lessening pain sensitivity. Hydrotherapy has a massagelike feeling as the water gently kneads your body. Water, in motion, stimulates touch receptors on the skin, boosting blood circulation and releasing tight muscles."

The Five Pillars of Kneipp Therapy (The following information is excerpted from: Kneipp Hydrotherapy by Nancy Griffin,, Part I June, 2003, Vol. 03, Issue 06, All Rights Reserved, Massage Today, 2013, http://www.massagetoday.com) 8

Naturopathy is rooted in Kneipp's healing system. One of the most important characteristics of Kneipp therapy is to gently stimulate the body "to give nature a gentle hand," thereby strengthening the immune system and raising the body's tolerance for stress. Kneipp was a strong believer in physical exercise, simple food and a "regular style of life for body, mind and soul." Kneipp therapy consists of: Hydrotherapy: Water functions as a natural stimulus to the body. It increases energy and disease resistance, and improves body- awareness. The therapeutic qualities of water also have positive effects on the psyche and the nervous and hormone systems. Kneipp hydrotherapy treatments are finely adjusted to suit the individual and situation. Herbs/Phytotherapy: Kneipp had documented scientific research that herbs and Phytotherapy have prophylactic, or healing, effects on the body. Kneipp herbal treatments can be prepared in various forms, including teas; ointments; oils; baths and herbal wraps. Exercise/Kinesiotherapy: Sensible physical exercise stimulates important functions of the body, including the musculoskeletal; cardiovascular and nervous systems; and the digestive tract. Massage is an indispensable supplementary treatment to exercise. Nutrition/Dietetics: Kneipp believed that nutritional diseases are avoided or cured by a well- balanced, low- fat diet consisting of fresh food prepared in such a way that its vitamins remain intact. Lifestyle/Regulative Therapy: Lifestyle and health education are the most important part of Kneipp's doctrine. Kneipp believed it is as important to live in harmony with one's social and natural environments as it is to lead a balanced life.

Kneippâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Treatment (The following information is excerpted from: Kneip Hydrotherapy Part II by Nancy Griffin, August, 2003, Vol. 03, Issue 08, http://www.massagetoday.com) 9

Sebastian Kneipp, believed to be the "father" of modern hydrotherapy, is famous the world over. Known as the "Waterdoctor from Worishofen," Kneipp developed over 100 different hydrotherapy treatments using three forms of water: solid, liquid and vapor, with treatments that included washing/ablutions; wraps; packs; compresses; poultices; affusions; steam; and baths. Washings: Washings are the simplest and mildest treatment. The body is covered with a film of water using a washcloth. Additives, such as herbs, are often added to the water to create a balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. When the body is covered with cold water, there is a brief vasoconstriction of the peripheral blood vessels, and a stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. The rapid reaction that follows is the increase of heat production, or vasodilatation through activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. Wraps: A Kneipp wrap envelops a body part with wet and dry cloths that are either hot or cold. Effects are achieved through temperature, length of application and additives. Increased circulation promotes the removal of metabolic wastes and increases the oxygen supply. Affusions: Affusions precisely regulate the direction of the water stream on the body. A "flar" affusion uses a stream of water without pressure, flowing in a fan- shaped form to coat the body or body part. A high- pressure affusion (such as a Scotch Hose)

delivers a strong mechanical stimulus. The treatment is used with cold, tempered or warm water and can be delivered to the knee; thigh; leg; back; face or full body. Baths: Kneipp baths, whether partial or full, are usually combined with herbal additives. A brush bath is a combination of a full- body brushing and a warm bath, which intensifies the treatment the general warming of the body and through the effects of the hydrostatic pressure. Additives to the bath can be stimulating or calming. Some of Kneipp's more esoteric treatments include: Dew Walking - Walking barefoot on dew- moistened grass to promote circulation and strengthen the immune system. Water Treading - "Stork"- walking in a body of water filled below the knee, such as large basin; bathtub; fountain; lake; or ocean to strengthen veins, induce sleep and stimulate metabolism. Snow Walking - Walking barefoot in snow from a few seconds up to three minutes to stimulate the system and promote circulation. Effects of Kneipp Hydrotherapy The effects of Kneipp hydrotherapeutic treatments are vast, and have been documented through decades of scientific research at the Sebastian- Kneipp- Schule. Some of the effects include: Local Reaction - Similar to reactions caused by cold compresses used for acute trauma or inflammation, or hot packs/hay sacks used for local muscular hypertension. Segmental Response - Internal organs can be influenced by an automatic reflex from the skin, called the "cuti- visceral reflex." Consensual Response - Parts of the body not treated directly can react in the same way as the part being treated. Automatic Response.

General Condition - Influence on the automatic nervous system; improves general state of well- being. Immune System Response - Alternating treatments and strengthening exercises "toughen up" and train the body's immune system. Psychological Response - Temperature and aroma stimuli have a direct influence on the central nervous system and can change the mental state. Benefits of Kneipp hydrotherapy include: relaxation and general sense of well- being; muscle relaxation; increased excretion through the skin; stimulation of metabolism; stabilization of body warmth; regulation of blood pressure; activation of the immune system; and ameliorated circulation of the skin. Education and Home Treatment Lifestyle and health education are the most important part of Kneipp's doctrine. He believed in self- responsibility as a cornerstone of health. Many Kneipp hydrotherapy treatments can and should be repeated at home. Kneipp hydrotherapy treatments use ordinary water, which is transformed into "healing" water through the appropriate knowledge.

(- 1900 AD) Henry Lindlahr, M.D.

Henry Lindlahr M.D. (1821- 1897) Henry Lindlahr is credited as one of the principal figures in the development of North American naturopathic medicine.

Working Summary: He was a student of Sebastian Kneipp, one of the founders of naturopathic medicine Books: "Nature Cure" The Classic of Natural Health by Henry Lindlahr M.D., Natural Therapeutics Series by Henry Lindlahr M.D. (2004), the Lindlahr Vegetarian Cook Book and ABC of Natural Dietetics (2004), The Natural Way to Health by Victor Hugo Lindlahr (1980) (The following information is excerpted from: Henry Lindlahr, ndhealthfacts.org) 11, 12, 13

Dr. Lindlahr was the mayor of a town in Montana and a thriving businessman. In his thirties he was overweight and diabetic. When he was unable to find appropriate treatment for his diabetes in America, he travelled to Europe and found curative results under the guidance of Father Kneipp. On returning to America in early 1900 he enrolled in the Homeopathic and Eclectic College of Illinois. After graduating in 1904, he opened the Lindlahr Sanitarium in Chicago, and shortly thereafter, he founded the Lindlahr College of Natural Therapeutics

"The greatest part of all chronic disease is created by the suppression of acute disease by drug poisoning." - Henry Lindlahr, M.D. "Every acute disease is the result of a purifying, healing effort of Nature." - Henry Lindlahr, M.D. "The pus- like mass exuding from the Small- pox pustule contains the virus not only of Small- pox but also of scrofula, psora, tuberculosis, syphilis, gonorrhea, anthrax, lumpy jaw and poisons in the animal or human being from which the virus was secured." - Henry Lindlahr, M.D. "Iridology means analysis of the body's condition through appearance of the iris. The book also contains numerous interesting case histories and describes how conventional medical treatment of that era induced quality- of- lifethreatening and fatal conditions. This book downloads in two ways: as html files and also as a rather large zip file containing the entire book. There are many figures and even a color plate showing irises." - Lindlahr, Henry. M.D. Iridiagnosis and other Diagnostic Methods. Third Edition. Chicago: Lindlahr Publishing Co., 1919.

which included hospital internships at sanitariums. It became the leading naturopathic college of the day (â&#x20AC;Ś). In 1908, Dr. Lindlahr began to publish the Nature Cure magazine and began publishing a series of books titled, Philosophy of Natural Therapeutics. His therapeutic regimen combined the use of BREATHING, FASTING AND SPECIALIZED DIET, FEVER THERAPY, EXERCISE AND REST, SUN AND LIGHT, as well as counseling to address MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL CONCERNS. He utilized various DETOXIFYING OR CLEANSING FOODS, in particular - orange juice, lemon, grapefruit, garlic, bean sprouts, fiber and laxatives. Besides these items, he pioneered the use of vitamin and mineral supplementation, forming what may have been the first company that produced thiamine (Vitamin B1) commercially. It was written that Henry Lindlahr "...is remembered for his conviction that disease did not represent an invasion of molecules, but the body's way of healing something. In other words, he viewed symptoms as positive physiological response and proof that the body was fighting whatever was wrong."

"Henry Lindlahr's views on consuming milk, and other dairy products, must be challenged (With all due respect to a great man). Since the publication of this book in 1922 there has been much that has come to light concerning this controversial topic. It appears that many people do not have the necessary enzymes to break down the lactose in the milk. As infants they did but as they grew older production of this enzyme slowed right down. This tendency appears to be even stronger amongst the darker African, Caribbean, Mauritian races etc. This leads to many secondary difficulties; retarded (slow) digestion, increased putrefaction, increased mucus production (from a product that is already renowned for creating lots of mucus), increased auto immune complaints; allergies, asthma, eczema, osteoporosis, arthritic complains and many more. Milk also contains growth hormones that give instructions to baby cows bodies to grow; as adult humans these hormones are not only not necessary but downright dangerous. The pasturised, homongenised (highly processed) milk for sale on the shelf today is a far cry from the live untreated milk commonly sold in Lindlahr's day. Milk is, to all intents and purposes "The very top of the food chain" as far as humans are concerned. The final collection point for the toxins that our society believes it is necessary to use in the mass production of agricultural products and the spill off from the industrial and other sectors. They all end up here in the milk that we drink. " - G. W. Campbell. Student of the "Bigger Picture", Steve Solomon, Soil and Health Library, 14 http://www.soilandhealth.org

(The following information is excerpted from: Henryy Lindlahr, https://sites.google.com/site/allnatural375/history/henry- Lindlahr)

[THE HEALING TREATMENT:] Henry Lindlahr was diagnosed with diabetes at a young age and was told by a priest in Vienna [Upon following Father Kneippâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program, Henry Lindlahr cured his diabetes and lost 40 pounds] to switch his diet to strictly fruits and vegetables and to also take sitz baths. Within a year, Lindlahr experienced a dramatic change in his physical appearance and was free of diabetes. This in turn shifted his entire view on health and life and also made him reject scientific medicine, which believed that lifestyle and food intake had no impact on health. He believed that suppressing the disease led to suppressing its cure. In treating his patients, Lindlahr incorporated methods of previous naturopathic doctors with the addition of his own, combining a variety of natural therapies because he understood the principles of them. He also focused heavily on the correlation between HEALTH AND NUTRITION, often providing foods rich in vitamins and minerals to cure chronic illnesses including green leafy vegetables containing iron, various fruits with vitamin C, and brown rice having thiamine. In his book, Lindlahr listed five categories of natural therapy. These were the RETURN TO NATURE, ELEMENTARY REMEDIES, CHEMICAL REMEDIES, MECHANICAL REMEDIES, and lastly, MENTAL/SPIRITUAL REMEDIES. Of these five, he viewed the return to nature as the first focus to good health because it meant that patients had to resort to a natural diet consisting of fruits and vegetables. Together with a natural diet, Lindlahr emphasized the importance of a lifestyle free from environmental toxins or stress from changing occupations. Lastly, he concluded that naturopathy served as a preventative medicine. Lindlahr left a legacy just as the previous naturopathic practitioners before him did by combining multiple methods of natural treatments and discovering that diet and lifestyle changes were needed in order for patients to better themselves, as well as nature provided items for preventative care.

„Kellogg is larger than life."

(- 1880 AD) John Harvey Kellogg

John Harvey Kellogg (18511943) physician, surgeon, inventor, health food promoter, U.S. breakfast- cereal manufacturer, and a great showmen, was a larger than life character in the health movement.

Working Summary: the father of natural healing. Books written by John Harvey Kellogg: First Book in Physiology and Hygiene – 1897, Pork or The Dangers of Pork- Eating Exposed, Rational Hydrotherapy (1903), Light Therapeutics (1910), Dr Kellogg's Lectures on Practical Health Topics (1913), Colon Hygiene (1915), Constipation- - How to Fight It (1915), The Simple Life in a Nutshell- Rules for Right Living (1921), Autointoxication or Intestinal Toxemia (1922), Natural Diet of Man (1923), Habits in Relation to Longevity (1928), Art of Massage (1929), How to have good health (1932)

(The following information is excerpted from: Drs. John & William Kellogg Battle of the Bow(e)ls, by Ken Padgett Agile Writer agilewriter.com/)

Dr. John Harvey Kellogg was one of America’s first health gurus. He was raised with the healthy living tenants advocated by his church, the Seventh- Day Adventists (…). John was not interested in riches, his focus was on the sharing his HEALTH REFORM ideas with his colleagues and the public. He did not accept a salary for his work at the Sanitarium and instead derived his income from royalties on the numerous books and treatises he published in his lifetime. His "REJUVENATION" clinic was an elegant hotel, hospital, and spa in one and attracted wealthy health seekers. 136

"Kellogg was a dynamo of human energy, a personification of the work ethic, who needed only 4 to 5 hours of sleep a night, went cycling or jogging every morning, dictated 25 to 50 letters a day, adopted and reared 42 children, wrote nearly 50 books, edited a major magazine, performed more than 22,000 operations, gave virtually all of his money to charitable organizations, loved human service, generally accomplished the work of ten active people, and lived in good health to age 91." - William Shurtleff and Akiko Aoyagi, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and Battle Creek Foods: Work with Soy, Unpublished Manuscript Do you know, that is the root of the whole trouble - has been one of the roots at any rate - is people hearing things and then imagining some more and magnifying it and multiplying it. - John Harvey Kellogg Now when I came to go up to operations, I went down to this patient's room and got down on my knees at the foot of the bed and earnestly asked the Lord to help us and to help me. - John Harvey Kellogg Is God a man with two arms and legs like me? Does He have eyes, a head? Does He have bowels? Well I do, and that makes me more wonderful than He is! - John Harvey Kellogg

Dr. John had lots of good ideas including the benefits of a HEALTHY DIET, EXERCISE, FRESH AIR, AND REST. He was ahead of his time in suggesting the link between smoking and lung cancer. But he also had some pretty drastic ideas—like extolling the benefits of excessive chewing of food and opposing any sexual activity—as well as practicing cures involving various treatments with extremely cold water, electric shocks, and mechanical manipulation. But nothing fascinated him as much as his obsession with the BOWEL. He believed that ninety percent of all illnesses could be traced to unclean bowels, and his views became, for a time, a national obsession. He emphasized a regimen that would PROMOTE COLON CLEANSING and regularity (and we don’t mean being on time for spa classes). It was his attempts to provide his clients with a palatable and healthful VEGETARIAN DIET (…). In his day, there were not a lot of breakfast options. Believe it or not, there were no cold breakfast cereals. Most people ate dry toast or crackers. That is until Kellogg invented Granola. And you thought the hippies of the 1960s invented it. No, it was created way back in 1881. Actually, Dr. Kellogg stole another man’s invention (and name) of a clustered graham flour and water product called Granula and modified the ingredients. When the other inventor sued him, Dr. John renamed his oatmeal- based product Granola. Within a decade, Kellogg was selling two tons a week. Meanwhile, business at the Sanitarium was booming and by 1888 had been expanded to add a medical college and to accommodate up to 700 patients (…). Dr. John earned a PLACE IN HISTORY and is credited with helping foster the development and popularity of such diverse products as the electric blanket, peanut butter, granola (with an "o"), and a menthol nasal inhaler. His sanitarium later served as one of the army’s largest medical installation before eventual conversion into federal office space.

â&#x20AC;&#x17E;A life of selfsacrifice, and devotion to service of humanity."

(- 1890 AD) J. Tilden, M.D.

John H. Tilden, M.D. (1851 - 1940) was a United States physician who practiced the art of Natural Hygiene

Working Summary: Student of Sebastian Kneipp, one of the founders of naturopathic medicine Books written by Dr. Tilden: Criticisms of the Practice of Medicine, (1910), Diseases Of Women and Easy Childbirth (1912), Gonorrhea and Syphilis (1912), Appendicitis (1921), Care of Children (1920), Impaired Health I (1921), Impaired Health II (1921) (The following information is excerpted from: John H. Tilden by Frederic N. Gilbert, foreword to Impaired Health: Its Cause and Cure, 1921) 10

Dr. John H. Tilden, the son of a physician, was born in Van Burenburg, Illinois, on January 21, 1851. He received his medical education at the Eclectic Medical Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio, a medical school founded in 1830 as a protest against the allopathic and homeopathic schools of medicine of that time. He was graduated in 1872, with the degree of doctor of medicine. From the best information we can obtain, his father was a Dr. Joseph G. Tilden, who came from Vermont in 1837 to Kentucky, in which State he married. Dr. John H. Tilden started the practice of medicine at Nokomis, Illinois, then for a year at St. Louis, Missouri, and then at Litchfield, Illinois, until 1890, when he moved to Denver, Colorado. 138

"What hope is there for medical science to ever become a true science when the entire structure of medical knowledge is built around the idea that there is an entity called disease which can be expelled when the right drug is found?" - John H. Tilden, M.D. "You cannot have a very severe round of typhoid fever unless you have a "first- class" physician to give it strength to down you...... I have not lost a case in 15 years (including typhoid and pneumonia), and I have treated hundreds. Fatality is attributable to the medication" - Tilden "This disease (diptheria) has been epidemic, endemic, and sporadic. For the last twenty- five years it has gradually been declining in severity. Children who are overfed, who have developed in the intestinal tract a state of decomposition or putrescence, running on for some time, and who have broken down their resistance, will develop a state of toxemia which will cause them to be susceptible to the prevailing influences, atmospheric and otherwise. Children who are fed too frequently or fed improperly, and who are troubled with constipation and the passing of undigested food with the bowel movements, are made susceptible not only to diphtheria, but also to scarlet fever, measles, whooping- cough, etc. Indeed, it can be proved that normal, healthy children- - children who have bowels that are regular, and who are not troubled with intestinal indigestion- cannot be made to take any of these diseases." John Tilden MD (1921)

It was during the early years of his practice in Illinois, that Dr. Tilden began to question the use of medicine to cure illness. His extensive reading, especially of medical studies from European medical schools, and his own thinking, led him to the conclusion that there should be some way to LIVE SO AS NOT TO BUILD DISEASE, and in this period his thoughts on toxemia began to formulate and materially develop. From the beginning of his practice in Denver, the Doctor used NO MEDICINE but practiced his theory of CLEARING THE BODY OF TOXIC POISON and then allowing nature to make the cure, TEACHING HIS PATIENTS how to live so as not to create a toxic condition and to retain a HEALTHY BODY FREE OF DISEASE. An uncompromising realist and a strict disciplinarian, the Doctor wasted no time on those who would not relinquish degenerating habits, but to his patients and disciples he was both friend and mentor. In 1900 he began the publication of a monthly magazine called "The Stuffed Club," which continued until 1915, when he changed the name to "The Philosophy of Health," and in 1926 the name was changed to "Health Review and Critique." His writing for his publication was almost entirely done in the early morning hours, from three until seven. The purpose of the publication was not to make money but to SPREAD KNOWLEDGE of the Doctor's teachings. In time it attained a wide circulation, not only in this country but also abroad, even in Australia, but it never produced revenue, for the Doctor refused to make it an advertising medium, as often urged to do by advertising firms. As his death revealed, after sixty- eight years of practice, the Doctor had accumulated only an exceedingly modest estate. His life was pre- eminently one of selfsacrifice and of devotion to service, searching after truth, with an INDOMITABLE WILL and with an INTENSE FORTITUDE to adhere to the truth when discovered. In his day the Doctor's thoughts received NO SUPPORT from the established medical profession but brought the STRONGEST OF OPPOSITION AND CONDEMNATION. Reference: John H. Tilden by Frederic N.

Herbert Macgolfin Shelton, N.D., (October 6, 1895 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January 1, 1985) was an American unlicensed doctor, alternative medicine advocate, author, pacifist, vegetarian, supporter of rawism and fasting. Shelton was nominated by the American Vegetarian Party to run as its candidate for President of the United States in 1956. He saw himself as the CHAMPION of original Natural hygiene ideas from the 1830s. Shelton was born on October 6, 1895 in Wylie, Texas to Thomas Mitchell Shelton and Mary Frances Gutherie Shelton, who were devoted Christians. As a child, Shelton took an interest in animals, especially their habits when sick as compared to when well. He was especially intrigued by their fasting when the farm animals became sick. Shelton attended Bernarr Macfadden's College of Physcultopathy in Chicago and interned at Crane's Sanatorium in Elmhurst, Illinois. He also attended Lindlahr College of Natural Therapeutics for postgraduate work and served at Lindlahr's and Sahler's Sanatoriums. Shelton later continued postgraduate work at Peerless College of Chiropractic in Illinois and served an internship at Crandall Health School in Pennsylvania. 141

Life and health is not haphazard "One of the first fallacies that the Hygienist had to overcome was the belief that life was subject to chance and haphazard or to the whims of a capricious Providence and was not governed or controlled like all else in nature, by immutable law." - Dr Herbert Shelton The basis of Natural Hygiene â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the laws of life "Hygienists declared that the principles of nature, the laws of science and the truths of the universe, are just as fixed and certain in their relation to the human organization, in relation to life, to health, to happiness, to disease and suffering, as they are in relation to all things else. To ascertain and understand the natural laws, or the regularity or uniformity with which everything occurs, and thus to found on a sure basis a system of mind- body care, was the aim of Hygienists." - Dr Herbert Shelton

In 1921, he married Ida Pape, studied at the American School of Chiropractic, and graduated from the American School of Naturopathy with a Doctor of Naturopathy (ND). He preached that cooking food denatures it, and that a healthy body has the ability to restore itself from illness without medical intervention. Although heavily criticized by his contemporaries for advocating FASTING over medical treatment, Shelton remains an early LEADER of the raw food movement. In 1922, Shelton self- published his first book, Fundamentals of Nature Cure. Seeing importance in the Hygienic Movement (launched in 1832 by Dr. Isaac Jennings and Sylvester Graham), he changed the title of this first book to An Introduction to Natural Hygiene. A later book, The Science and Fine Art of Fasting, exerted an influence on Mahatma Gandhi, who consulted the book before undertaking public fasts. A pacifist, Shelton was JAILED in 1917 for making an anti- draft statement in public. In 1927, he was arrested, jailed and fined three times for practicing medicine without a license. These arrests continued periodically through the next three decades while he continued to lecture and campaign for his ideas.

The more obedience to the laws – the more health "We expect to see the sun rise and set, a seed to sprout and grow, water to run downhill, chemical reactions to take place, all in accord with exact law. We do not expect to gather grapes from rose bushes nor figs from thistles. Is there less reason to expect that man should obey the laws of his being? Shall we not expect him to have health in precise ratio to his obedience?" "Man is not in charge of his own destiny, despite his proud boasting to the contrary. He is still in the grip of natural processes; he is still subject to natural law." - Dr Herbert Shelton

No man is an exception to the laws "Hygienists have no secret compound to offer, no panacea to sell at a dollar a bottle and no wonder drugs to produce health in spite of the existence of every reason in the earth why health should not exist. They can only point to the laws of nature, by obedience to which we are able to attain and maintain the most glorious health. … The laws of nature form a unique, harmonious system and no man is exempt from them." "No man thinks he is an exception to the law of gravity, but he may think that he is an exception to the rule that poisons tend to kill. … Natural laws make no allowance for man’s ignorance. A poison will kill the man of genius as quickly as it will kill the fool;" - Dr Herbert Shelton

In 1932, Shelton was jailed repeatedly for practicing medicine without a license. Found guilty of violating the Medical Practice Act, he served 30 days on Rikers Island. In 1942, Shelton was charged with negligent homicide and "treating and offering to treat a human being without a state medical license" for starving a patient to death. The case was never tried and charges were dropped. In 1978, another patient died at one of his schools, this time apparently of a heart attack. After a two- year- long court battle, Shelton lost the lawsuit for negligence and was bankrupted by the judgment. The school closed as a result. By 1972, at the age of 77, he was completely bedridden from a degenerative neuromuscular disease believed to be Parkinson's disease. He died thirteen years later, unable to improve his own health despite many attempts. His contemporaries were shocked to see him unable to walk, speak normally, or write.

Fasting cycles retard growth of tumors and sensitize a range of cancer cell types to chemotherapy. "Short- term starvation (or fasting) protects normal cells, mice, and potentially humans from the harmful side effects of a variety of chemotherapy drugs. Here, we show that treatment with starvation conditions sensitized yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) expressing the oncogene- like RAS2(val19) to oxidative stress and 15 of 17 mammalian cancer cell lines to chemotherapeutic agents. Cycles of starvation were as effective as chemotherapeutic agents in delaying progression of different tumors and increased the effectiveness of these drugs against melanoma, glioma, and breast cancer cells. In mouse models of neuroblastoma, fasting cycles plus chemotherapy drugs- - but not either treatment alone- - resulted in longterm cancer- free survival. In 4T1 breast cancer cells, short- term starvation resulted in increased phosphorylation of the stresssensitizing Akt and S6 kinases, increased oxidative stress, caspase- 3 cleavage, DNA damage, and apoptosis. These studies suggest that multiple cycles of fasting promote differential stress sensitization in a wide range of tumors and could potentially replace or augment the efficacy of certain chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of various cancers."

Born in Baden, Germany he, like many of the founders of naturopathy, had been introduced to natural forms of healing due to personal health concerns. Dr. Lust had originally immigrated to the United States in 1892 to seek his fortune, yet when he contracted a severe case of tuberculosis that was not getting any better with conventional treatments, he returned to his homeland to undergo the water cure treatments with Father Kneipp. Within a very short period of time his health improved.

As well, for over thirty years he edited the public journal, the Nature's Path. Dr. Lust believed in the inherent ability of the body to heal itself, that it was able to restore its own balance and function and that it was able to adapt to environmental changes. He was a man of strongly held opinions. "[Dr. Lust was . . .] Opposed to the processing of foods because such 'manufacture' tends to destroy their true nutritional values . . . Opposed to the administrations of all drugs and narcotics because they are unnatural elements which the human body is not capable of assimilating . . . Opposed to the regimentation of the American people under medically controlled elements because such legislation will wipe out other methods of treatment and bring inestimable damage to the health of every many, women, and child affected . . . Opposed to any legislation which in practice would prevent a family from attending to its own ills or the choosing, by such family, of any type of treatment it might desire because such legislation restricts personal liberty and tends to take from the American people the right to use the beneficial homespun efficient remedies which have been handed down from generation to generation." - Benedict Lust.

with many of the nature- curists of his day including Kuhne, Lahmann, Just and others. Once Dr. Lust was cured, he was asked by Kneipp to spread hydrotherapy to America. He returned to the United States in 1896 with his colleague Dr. Robert Foster and established two Sanitariums and Kneipp Water Cure Institutes, one in Butler, New Jersey in 1902 and another in Tangerine, Florida in 1914. In 1901 Dr. Lust opened the American School of Naturopathy in New York, which was the first naturopathic college in America. He also opened what could be considered the first health food store or Kneipp store as they were initially known. From the onset, Dr. Lust integrated the Kneipp water cure methods with the many other therapies that he had encountered. Over the years, Dr. Lust undertook further training in a number of other natural therapies. He graduated from the Universal Osteopathic College of New York in 1898, received his medical degree in 1902 from the New York Homeopathic Medical College and received an eclectic medical degree from the Eclectic Medical College in New York in 1913. In his efforts to promote the growth and understanding of the science and art of naturopathic medicine, Dr. Lust's life was not without personal sacrifice. He was arrested some three dozen times for practicing medicine without a license. But attempts to suppress his efforts were thwarted, as all cases were dismissed from the courts. It was not as a practitioner, however, but as an educator, promoter and organizer of naturopathy that Lust had his greatest impact. He was the founder of the American Naturopathic Association, which was known as the Naturopathic Society of America from 1902 to 1912.

(- 1900 AD) Arnold Ehret Working Summary: Father of Mucusless Healing System Books written by Arnold Ehret: Mucusless Diet Healing System (1976), The Cause and Cure of Human Illness (2011)

Prof. Arnold Ehret (1866- 1922) was a German health educator and author of several books on diet, detoxification, fruitarianism, fasting, food combining, health, longevity, naturopathy, physical culture and vitalism.

(The following information is excerpted from: Arnold Ehret Biography Breathairean Ensemble, breathairmusic.com/)

Arnold Professor Arnold Ehret, revered as the father of naturopathy, is the most important pioneering researcher and author regarding the health and preservation of the human body. No other scientist, doctor, dietitian, or author has surpassed Ehret’s work concerning the cause and cure of chronic disease and human illness. Through years of research he rediscovered that the human body is an "AIR- GAS ENGINE" that is powered exclusively by oxygen and that a diet consisting of starchless fruits and greenleafy vegetables (mucusless foods) is the only food fit to be eat by humans. Among other important writings, Ehret produced a brilliant dietetic treatise entitled the MUCUSLESS DIET HEALING SYSTEM/RATIONAL Reference: Arnold Ehret Biography Breathairean Ensemble, breathairmusic.com/)

"Life is a tragedy of nutrition" - Arnold Ehret, The Definite Cure of 320 Chronic Constipation "On the outside, the man of today is carefully groomed, perhaps unnecessarily and over carefully clean; while inside he is dirtier than the dirtiest animal—whose anus is as clean as its mouth, provided said animal has not been "domesticated" by "civilized" man." - Arnold Ehret, The Definite Cure of Chronic Constipation: Also: Overcoming Constipation Naturally 320

"If your blood is formed from eating the foods I teach [fruits and green- leaf vegetables] ... your soul will shout for joy and triumph over all misery of life. For the first time you will feel a vibration of vitality through your body (like a slight electric current) that shakes you delightfully." - Arnold Ehret, Mucusless Diet Healing System, 1970 321

FASTING which offers a methodical approach to eating that can be used regardless of age, gender, race, or sickness to achieve superior health. Ehret was born July 25, 1866, near Freiburg, in Baden, Germany. His father was a brilliant farmer who was so technologically advanced that he crafted all of his own farming equipment. Like his father, Ehret would be endowed with a passion for studying the cause and effect of phenomena. His courses of interest were physics, chemistry, drawing and painting. He also had an affinity for linguistics and could speak German, French, Italian, and English. At the age of 21 he graduated as a professor of drawing and was drafted into the military only to be discharged because of heart trouble. At the age of 31 he was diagnosed with Brightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease (inflammation of the kidneys), and pronounced INCURABLE by 24 of Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most respected doctors. He then EXPLORED NATURAL HEALING and visited sanitariums to learn holistic methods and philosophies. In a desperate attempt to quench his misery Ehret decided to STOP EATING. To his amazement HE DID NOT DIE but gained in STRENGTH and VITALITY. In 1899 he traveled to Berlin to study vegetarianism, followed by a trip to Algiers in northern Africa where he experimented with fasting and fruit diet.

"A clogging up of the entire pipe system of the human body. Any special symptom is therefore merely an extraordinary local constipation by more accumulated mucus at this particular place. Special accumulation points are the tongue, the stomach and particularly the entire digestive tract. This last is the real and deeper cause of bowel constipation. The average person has as much as ten pounds of uneliminated feces in the bowels continually, poisoning the blood stream and the entire system. Think of it! My "Mucus Theory" and "Mucusless Diet Healing System" stand unshaken; it has proven the most successful "Compensation- Action" socalled cure against every kind of disease. By its systematic application thousands of declared- incurable patients could be saved. The Mucusless Diet consists of all kinds of raw and cooked fruits, starchless vegetables, and cooked or raw, mostly green- leaf vegetables. The Mucusless Diet Healing System is a combination of individually advised long or short fasts, with progressively changing menus of non- MucusForming Foods. This diet alone can heal every case of "disease" without fasting, although such a cure requires longer time. The System itself will be expounded in later lessons. However, to learn how to apply the system, to understand how and why it works, it is necessary to free your mind from Medical errors, partly taken over by Naturopathy." - Mucusless- Diet Healing System by Prof. Arnold Ehret (1922) 321

Due to his new lifestyle, Ehret COMPLETELY CURED HIMSELF of ALL OF HIS DISEASES and could now perform great feats of physiological strength, including an 800 mile bicycle trip from Algiers to Tunis. He had rediscovered that pus and mucus forming foods are the cause for all human disease and that "FASTING (simply eating less) is Nature’s omnipotent method of cleansing the body from the effects of wrong and too much eating."(Hirsch 1994, 9) In the early 1900’s Ehret opened a hugely popular sanitarium in Ascona, Switzerland where he treated and CURED THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS considered INCURABLE by the socalled "medical authorities." During the latter part of the decade Ehret engaged in a series of fasts monitored by German and Swiss officials. Within a period of 14 months Ehret completed a fast of 21 days, one of 24 days, one of 32 days, and one of 49 days. He became one of the MOST IN- DEMAND HEALTH LECTURERS, journalist, and educators in Europe saving the lives of thousands of people. In 1914 Ehret moved his sanitarium to California and championed his Mucusless Diet Healing System in America. On October 9, 1922, at the age of 56, Arnold Ehret suffered a tragic fall sustaining a fatal blow to his skull. According to Ehret’s disciple Fred Hirsch, he was Reference: Arnold Ehret Biography Breathairean Ensemble, breathairmusic.com/)

In other words, I must teach you a new Physiology, free from Medical errors; a new method of Diagnosis; a correction of the Fundamental errors of Metabolism, high Protein foods, Blood circulation, Blood composition, and last, but not least, you must be taught What Vitality Really Is "To Medical Science the human body is still a mystery, especially in diseased condition. Every new disease "discovered" by the doctors is a new mystery for them. There are no words to properly express how far from the truth they actually are! Naturopathy uses the word Vitality continually, yet neither "Medical Scientists" nor Naturopaths can tell what Vitality is. . . (…) Disease is an effort of the body to eliminate waste, mucus and toxemias, and this system assists Nature, in the most perfect and natural way. Not the disease but the body is to be healed; it must be cleansed, freed from waste and foreign matter, from mucus and toxemias accumulated since childhood. You cannot buy health in a bottle, you cannot heal your body, that is, cleanse your system in a few days, you must make "compensation" for the wrong you have done your body all during your life. My system is not a cure or a remedy, it is a regeneration, a thorough housecleaning, the acquisition of such clean and perfect health as you never knew before. Remember: Your constitutional encumbrances throughout the entire system are the source of every disease . .. In Summa: The human mechanism is an elastic pipe system.

Another one of Ehret’s disciples, Benedict Lust, maintained that Ehret was wearing his first pair of new dress shoes and slipped as a result of his unfamiliarity with the footwear. (Lust 2002, page preceding I) To this day the true nature of Ehret’s death raises many suspicions among Ehretists. Ehret’s powerful healing successes along with his influential and revolutionary new lifestyle TERRIBLY THREATENED the medical, meat, and dairy industries.

"(…)"Man is what he eats" is a philosopher's greatest and truest statement. You must now see why civilization, all religion, all philosophy, with their tremendous sacrifice of work, time, money, energy, is and has been part guesswork. The magic formula for "Heaven on Earth" - - of the Paradise - - must read like this: "Eat your way into Paradise physically." But you cannot pass the gate, watched over by the angel with the flaming sword, until you have gone through the purgatory (cleansing fire) of fasting and diet of healing - - a cleansing, a physiological purifying, by the "Flame of Life" in your own body! During thousands of years no one has escaped the struggle of death caused by an unnatural life, and you will have to face it some day. This will give an outline of the serious nature of my work - - and the necessity for your help in carrying it through as the greatest deed you can perform - upon which depends not only your future destiny, but that of a suffering, unhappy mankind - - on the verge of a physical and mental collapse." - Mucusless- Diet Healing System by Prof. Arnold Ehret (1922) 321

Confusion in Dietetics (Following information was excerpted from: Mucusless- Diet Healing System by Prof. Arnold Ehret (1922))321

In this very important lesson it is necessary for me to convince you, once and for all, of the following facts:  First - - that in food (in diet) lies 99.99% of the causes of all diseases and imperfect health of any kind.  Second - - That consequently, all healing, all therapeutics will continue to fail as long as they refuse to place the most important stress on diet.  Third - - That what I call "mucusless diet" and "mucus forming foods" divides characteristically all human foods into harmless, natural, healing and real nourishing foods, and into harmful, disease- producing ones.  Fourth - - That all other dietetics are mainly wrong because they lay their stress on food values entirely, whether "wrong" or not, instead of the healing, cleaning, eliminating values and their efficiency before the healing process is started, going on, or accomplished at all. (See Lesson 5.) . . . It is not sufficient, as the layman imagines, to know which foods are mucusless and which are mucusforming, but: 1. HOW FAR AND HOW FAST THE CHANGE CAN SUCCESSFULLY BE MADE. 2. HOW THE COMBINATION OF DIFFERENT FOODS HAS TO BE ARRANGED. 3. HOW LONG AND HOW OFTEN FASTING MUST BE INTRODUCED AND COMBINED DURING THE HEALING DIET IF FOUND NECESSARY. This is and represents the "SYSTEM" of the Mucusless Diet and Fasting as well as what the Practitioner has study and must learn, and what the layman does not know and consequently why he must inevitably fail when trying to cure himself with "good foods." After the foregoing explanation you will at once see in the following critique of the best known dietetics, why they are imperfect, and why the confusion is so great. In later lessons you will also

learn of every kind of food, why it is good, and why bad. In case you are still unaware of the foods which are mucusless, and which mucusforming, they are as follows:  All fruits, raw or cooked; also nuts and green- leaf vegetables are mucus- free.  All other foods of civilization, without exception, are mucus and acid- forming, and therefore are harmful. They claim all cooking destroys food values, but it should properly be said: "Wrong cooking destroys healing value qualities (efficiency) of foods, and can even cause them to become acid- forming." The "raw food" experts, hint on the same wrong stress, as all others, i.e., higher food value. . . . Now you may understand why the "Mucusless Diet" is a system in which every change in diet has certain duties to perform - - as a diet of healing to be applied systematically according to the condition of the sick. You will now understand why and in what manner I differ from all others. The "Mucusless Diet Healing System" is not a collection of different menus for every disease; it is not "made- up" combinations of valuable and nourishing foods - - it is not like a medical prescription or a compilation of standard diets suitable for all diseases, but it is a system of dietetical changes and dietetical improvements - - a system of dietetical elimination of disease matter, waste, mucus and poisons; a system of slowly changing and improving the diet as a diet of healing towards - and up to - - the ideal and natural food of man - FRUITS ONLY - - or fruits and green- leaf vegetables - - THE MUCUSLESS DIET. It is therefore a personally supervised and in every case different, modified, scientific, systematical, progressive method of "eating your way to health," combined if found necessary, with short or longer fasts. It is a healing process through which every sick person must go if he wants to be perfectly healed; it is an exclusive dietetical "curing and healing, rebuilding and regenerating process" based on the use of harmless and natural food for mankind "coined" and set biologically by the Creator in "Genesis" - - "FRUITS AND HERBS," or "MUCUSLESS DIET." Nature will do her part if we but give her half a chance (…).

Transition Diet My experience of over twenty years, covering for the most part the extremely severe cases of all kinds of diseases, has proven that a carefully selected and progressively changed TRANSITION DIET is the best and surest way for every patient to start a cure, especially for the average mixed eater. As long as wrong foods (foods of civilization) are partly used, I call it a Mucus- LEAN DIET. Transition means the slow change from disease- producing foods to disease- healing foods, which latter I call the MUCUSLESS DIET. The worst and by far the most unhealthy habit is the HEAVY BREAKFAST. No solid food should be eaten in the early morning at all if you desire to secure the best results. It is permissible to take the drink that you are accustomed to, but nothing else. If you find this difficult to do in the beginning you may drink again later on so that your lunch is taken in the empty stomach. This is so very important that a number of light diseases can be cured by the so-called "NO BREAKFAST PLAN" alone. (This subject is more fully covered in Fasting Lessons 17, 18, 19, 20.) It is best that no more than two meals a day be eaten, even though the quantity you eat is as much as if three or even four meals were eaten. Later, when the stomach is cleaner, a small dish of fresh fruits when in season may be eaten for breakfast if desired. If possible, the first meal, lunch, should be eaten between ten and eleven in the morning, and supper not sooner than five or six in the afternoon. Another very important rule, when eating for health, is SIMPLICITY; in other words do not mix too many kinds of food at one meal. Count the different number of items in the average meal of today and the total will startle you. NEVER DRINK DURING A MEAL. If accustomed to tea or coffee, wait a short while after you have eaten before drinking. Soups should be avoided with meals, as the more liquid taken the more difficult for proper digestion. If a warm drink is desired, for instance, as a breakfast drink during the winter time, make a broth by cooking for a long time different kinds of vegetables, such as spinach, onions, carrots, cabbages, etc., and DRINK THE JUICE ONLY.

Paavo O. Airola, Ph.D., N.D., (1918 1983) was a nutritionist, naturopathic physician, educator and awardwinning author. studied biochemistry, nutrition, and natural healing in biological medical centers of Sweden, Germany, and Switzerland. He lectured extensively worldwide, both to professionals and laymen, holding yearly educational seminars for physicians.

Working Summary: Dr. Airola was a noted health care expert, Promoter of Natural Hygiene, Nutritional Therapy, Herbal Therapy, Skin and Lymphatic Cleansing aswell as Natural Healing 326 - 337 Books written by Dr. Airola : Stop Hair Loss (1965), Swedish Beauty Secrets (1972), Cancer: Causes, Prevention and Treatment - The Total Approach (1972), The Miracle of Garlic (1980), The Airola Diet and Cookbook (1982), Worldwide Secrets for Staying Young (1982), How to Get Well: Handbook of Natural Healing (1984), There is a Cure for Arthritis (1988), Everywoman's Book (2000) (Wikipedia: The free encyclopedia. (2004, July 22). FL: Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. Retrieved August 10, 2004, from http://www.wikipedia.org) 323

Dr. Paavo Airola authored fourteen books, two of which became international best- sellers: How to Get Well and Are You Confused? How to Get Well has been used as a textbook in several universities and medical schools. The American Academy of Public Affairs issued Dr. Airola the Award of Merit for his book on arthritis. 153

"Paavo airola pointed out that the longest- lived people around the world - the Bulgarians, Hunzakuts, East Indian Todas, Yucatan Indians and Russian Caucasians - were either vegetarians or consumed very little meat. Our genes and digestive tracts are most similar to chimpanzees, especially bonobos, which share 99.4% of our DNA sequences. Chimps in the wild eat a mostly fruitarian diet of fruit, green leaves, vegetables, nuts and seeds." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (2009) 324

Dr. Airola served as president of the International Academy of Biological Medicine; a member of the International Naturopathic Association; and a member of the International Society for Research on Civilization Diseases and Environment, the forum for worldwide research founded by Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Dr. Airola promoted natural healing through a diet of nutritious, whole foods and holistic medicine. The Airola Diet & Cookbook contains recipes and Dr. Airola's Weight Loss Program, along with a presentation of the scientific basis for the Airola Diet. During his lifetime, mainstream medicine regarded Dr. Airola as a controversial figure, presenting therapeutic approaches which challenged traditional medicine. Many of his views have become more widely accepted in recent decades, such as the efficacy of antioxidants against free- radical action (â&#x20AC;Ś). Dr. Paavo Airola died at age 64 of a stroke, which was the result of complications from injuries sustained during his emigration from Finland to Canada after World War II.

"Paavo Airola, a noted health care expert, estimated that fasting three days monthly extends life by 5 to 7 years. Of course, this is a rough estimate. However, there is no question that periodic, short term (2 to 3 days) fasting, giving the body a chance to "take a break" and eliminate toxins from organs, is highly beneficial to general health.

Dr. Bernard Jensen was born March 25, 1908 to Eugene and Anna Jensen, in Stockton, California. At the age of 18 his father, being a chiropractor, urged young Jensen to study the science of chiropractic, which he did. Shortly after graduation from college, in Oakland, California, Jensen's health began to deteriorate. His physicians diagnosed his condition as bronchiectasis – an incurable disease. A Seventh Day Adventist physician [Ellen G. White] taught Jensen the principles of good 155

"Beginning his career as a chiropractor in 1929, Dr. Bernard Jensen soon turned to the art of nutrition in search of remedies for his own health problems. He traveled to over 50 countries, to study the lifestyles of the different cultures in an effort to understand the principles of long and healthy living. He visited Russia where he studied the long- lived people. The last man he met in Russia was 152 years of age. Dr. Jensen journeyed to New Zealand several times, stayed at Sri Aurobindo’s Ashram in India and visited Sai Baba, one of the masters of India. He met with the Dalai Lama and recently stayed with the King of Hunza Valley. Many of the spas and nature cure sanitariums in Europe were visited. Many constructive ideas were brought back to develop the Hidden Valley Health Ranch in 1955. It was a place for his patients and guests to come and learn how to live a healthy life. Hidden Valley Health Ranch served as a retreat for people from all over the world. The Kneipp water baths from Worishofen, Germany were established; the organic garden provided 60% of the meals served; lectures and demonstrations were given and the summer classes became a main attraction. Doctor Jensen concluded that the long- lived people live a simple life, in a moderate temperature, eat unprocessed foods, no fried foods, little meat, live a serene, contented life, maintain good posture and consistently live close to where the soil is black. Doctor Jensen believes humanity needs a formula for living successfully, healthfully and peacefully. He combines the elements of the physical, mental and spiritual in teaching people how to live..

nutrition and how to live a healthy, productive life. With the physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidance, Jensen was able to REGAIN HIS HEALTH and opened his first chiropractic practice in Oakland, California, in the year 1929. His naturally curious nature led him to study many forms and modalities of health care delivery. He was most impressed by the results many were obtaining using natural methods. This prompted his famous world travels to far off lands to learn the secrets of long and HEALTHY LIFE from the oldest, healthiest people on the planet. He discovered that the basic keys to a long and healthy life were not to be found in vitamin bottles or on the shelves of drug stores or pharmacies. What the old people taught him was that whole, NATURAL FOODS, a PEACEFUL DISPOSITION, DAILY EXERCISE, SUFFICIENT REST and a constant desire to be of SERVICE TO HUMANITY were the foundation of any serious quest for living a long and healthy life. Jensen went on to study with his greatest mentor, Dr. Victor Rocine, a Norwegian Homeopath, who taught him the "chemical story." Rocine also instilled in Jensen the need to actually live with chronic and degenerative patients for an appropriate length of time in order to best serve the needs of such patients.

Dr. Ross Anderson, on the video "Can Death Begin in the Colon?" states that 8 out of 10 persons in North America are constipated to some degree - if you have any of the following SYMPTOMS, your colon may be the PROBLEM causing these SYMPTOMS: Acne, Allergies, Aching or Sore Joints, High Blood Pressure, Bad Breath, Cellulite, Constipation, Impotence, Depression, Diarrhea, Difficulty Losing Weight, Poor Memory, Fatigue, Frequent Colds, Gas / Bloating, PMS, Headaches / Migraines, Indigestion, Hair Loss, Nervousness, Insomnia, Low Sex Drive, Low Energy, Skin Problems Dr. Ross Anderson further explains that toxins go to every cell in the body. No one is immune from this. Which is why it is so important to clean your body of toxic residues so the body is allowed to rebuild itself. According to the Royal Society of Medicine in Great Britain, their study of health challenges indicated that a large percentage were due to a buildup of toxins primarily from the colon. The toxins included up to 36 different poisons being released into the body from toxic fecal matter sitting there for a long time fermenting and putrefying. Some of these poisons are listed with their symptoms as follows: Histamine: leads to headaches, racing of heart, depression, maybe nausea Phenol: blood circulation & liver/kidney problems, muscle irritations Hydrogen Sulfide: leads to congestion in the body, increased re- absorption of toxins Tryptomine: leads to high blood pressure

Under Rocine’s tutelage and guidance, Jensen came to fully grasp and comprehend the need for constant interaction between patient and practitioner. He developed a nature cure philosophy based upon the principle that patients must take an active, WILLING PART in any program of natural correction and rejuvenation – preferably in a relaxed, peaceful environment conducive to lasting recovery. This was the beginning of Jensen’s sanitarium practice. Jensen opened his first nature cure sanitarium in San Leandro, California. It was a 25 bed facility. He went on to open others in Ben Lomond and Altadena, California. In 1955 he opened his most famous sanitarium at Hidden Valley, in Escondido, California. It was an 85 bed, sprawling operation that accommodated patients from around the world who suffered from arthritis, cancer, weight disorders and other chronic and degenerative diseases. His astounding success with over 350,000 patients at his sanitariums, utilizing purely NATURAL METHODOLOGIES, gained much notoriety and fame for his work. He was HONORED by many societies, governments and institutions for his tremendous accomplishments in the field of NATURAL HEALTH care delivery and CLINICAL, nutritional research and for advancing the science and practice of iridology.

'I will be able to heal people without cutting them up, there will be natural ways of doing it.' - Dr. Christopher "My father's abiding happiness seems even more exceptional when I reflect on all the reasons he had to be unhappy. His life's work was dedicated to helping others, yet he was slandered by the judicial system that should have protected him. He was incarcerated on a number of occasions, left to grovel in the meanest of circumstances while those of us who loved him waited patiently for his release. Once, in what I am convinced was an effort to harass, a judge levied $50,000 bail for a licensing infraction yet I cannot erase from my mind's eye the gentle kindness of my father's perpetual smile (…). He is gone from among us, but he leaves behind a legacy that will never be forgotten. He created more than fifty herbal formulas that have exacted almost miraculous healings. He spearheaded the School of Natural Healing, which found its way overseas to the highly touted Cambridge University. He authored many works on herbs, some of which are considered to be classics in their field. (…). I struggle daily to live a life that would make him proud. I cherish my memories of him, and I hold dear the hundreds of letters that still pour in, almost a decade after his death, thanking him for life itself. They come from every state in the union, and some from remote areas of the world, a poignant reminder of his powerful influence. Yes, he is gone...but he will never be far away.

He was born November 25, 1909 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Jean Ramone and Lorena Roth Raymond who put him in an orphanage where he was adopted by Leander and Melissa Ann Craig Christopher. He was called Raymond, and nearly died of the croup, when a stranger appeared at the door and gave his father instructions on dealing with the phlegm, announcing that Raymond would have an important mission in life. The father believed this to be a vision and the family took heed. Raymond suffered from Rheumatoid arthritis and WAS NOT EXPECTED by his doctors to last past the age of 30. His adoptive mother suffered from diabetes and dropsy and Raymond decided to become a doctor, preferably one that did not cut people open since he disliked the sight of blood. A chance meeting with a doctor who diagnosed using iridology and treated with herbs inspired him to learn naturopathic medicine. An automobile accident nearly killed him, although chiropractic treatment provided relief. During his painful recovery he picked up the Mormon scripture The Doctrine and Covenants and read Section 89, commonly known as "The Word of Wisdom," a health code for the church.

If the cancer breaks out in a place where we have an old injury or a weakened portion in the body it only indicates that the cancer is in the bloodstream. It only accumulates, like a boil or an ulcer, in a weakened area and drains the poisons in the area. The medical profession cuts it out and says, "Well, the cancer's all gone!"

But he observed orthodox medicine and realized that the natural cures he had been using could help people who were not being helped. He was WIDELY RIDICULED by his commanding officer Major Shumate until he cured a soldier, upon a dare, of serious impetigo by using black walnut hulls tinctured in rubbing alcohol. Upon the visible evidence of his success Major Shumate allowed him to set up a laboratory on the base and he became the became the only practicing herbalist in the United States Army during World War II. His black walnut tincture was also used for fungus infection and jungle rot. When soldiers learned that Private Christopher could cure jungle rot, his patient load multiplied. Eventually this tincture was successful in Reference: Who is Dr. http://www.drchristopher.info

"Just a word about cancer. It is a systematic disease. It depends on filth in the bowel and the blood stream. Our understanding of cancer is different from that of the surgeon's. We see the body being able to "clean up its act" and stop recycling the same old toxins around and around in the body. All channels of elimination (including the skin) must be functioning. The food intake must be pure. Even though a person is operated upon for a cancerous tumor, there is no guarantee that the cancer will not return simply because the cause was not studied. "Cancer" is a frightening word. The one we use is "cell deterioration." This explains the process in the body more clearly than the word, "cancer."(â&#x20AC;Ś)."

curing scrofula, eczema, ringworm, shingles and chronic boils. John Raymond Christopher, DID NOT DIE before the age of thirty- five, as the squadrons of physicians had predicted. His gentle practice of natural healing helped him overcome the chronic conditions he was born with, as well as the lifethreatening injuries he sustained as a young adult. He succumbed instead at the age of seventy- three due to complications of a severe head injury. He had slipped on the treacherous ice outside his beloved Covered Bridge Canyon home, nestled in the mountains outside Spanish Fork, Utah.

"Sometimes, during an operation for a tumor, blood spills over into the rest of the body. This blood contains some of the tumor cells. The doctors sometimes say, "Oh, the body will take care of those." Mendelsohn suggests that surgery would be unnecessary if the body could take care of the cells by itself. The medical alternative to cancer surgery, chemotherapy, presents side effects that sound like horrors out of an old Frankenstein movie. Our program, "The Incurables (Dr. John R. Christophers "Incurables Program")," is a safe, nontoxic method to restore health and strength. It is not as easy as surgery, however, it involves retraining the little tyrants known as the tastebuds. Remember the old Biblical statement from the Old Testament, "If the eye offends you, pluck it out!" This phrase seems to be the general rule in most allopathic treatment from tumors to tonsils. We now view the old medical practice of bloodletting (to let out the bad blood) to be primitive. How much more primitive it is to exclude an entire organ from the body as punishment for its diseased condition. An automobile will not function without a carburetor. A faulty carburetor can be replaced, rebuilt, or cleaned out and the car will run again. The design of the auto makes it necessary for each part of the engine to be integral. Parts cannot expect to be ripped out of the system and still have good driving possibilities. Every human organ is functional and contributes to the smooth operation of the entire organism. It's erroneous to think that removal of an organ is standard procedure. Surgery is no replacement for cleansing and rebuilding the body. We need to work with Nature instead of trying to second guess it." - Dr. Christopherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Herbal Legacy, The School of Natural Healing http://www.herballegacy.com/ 342

Dr. Christopher The Incurables Program (The following information was excerpted from: Curing the Incurables" by Dr. John R. Christopher, Dr. John R. Christopher's "Incurables Program", School of Natural Healing, http://www.herballegacy.com) 343

First Week Food: For the first week, drink as much fresh carrot juice as possible. Some people are satisfied with a quart while others need a gallon or more. Drink by chewing an eight- ounce glass or more each hour during the day for six days the first week. Drink one cup or more of slippery elm gruel each day. The liquid can be as thin or thick as desired. With this herb, you take the powder and carefully mix it with enough water (preferably distilled) to form a paste because it does not mix easily. Then thin it to desired consistency by adding more water. A little honey can be added if preferred. In addition, drink one cup or more of comfrey leaf or root tea each day. Twenty minutes before or after drinking the juice, tea or gruel, drink as much steamdistilled water as desired. Herbal Formulas: One cup or more of the cell- building tea should be used for the rebuilding of cells in flesh, cartilage, and bones. Also, take one cup three times a day of Blood Purifying Combination. Take the following every day with some liquid: Two or more #0 capsules of Lower Bowel Tonic three times a day. This is for regularity, as solids are not now cleansing the bowels. Two or more #0 capsules of Nervine Tonic three times a day. This formula contains herbal nervines. Two or more #0 capsules of Pancreas Combination, three times a day. This assists the lower bowel tonic. Reference: Curing the Incurables" by Dr. John R. Christopher, School of Natural Healing, http://www.herballegacy.com

162

Two or more #0 capsules of Calcium Combination three times a day. This formula is a good source of organic, assimilable calcium. Breathing with Depth: Learn to breathe deeply, as it taught in yoga, to get the breath of life into the upper lobes of the lungs. Clothing: We should use only natural fibers for the clothes we wear and also for our bed covers. Never use synthetic cloth for straining herbal drinks or for fomentations and bandaging. Use only natural fibers such as cotton, wool, linen, or silk. Releasing Static Electricity: Walk or jog barefoot on the lawn to get rid of the static electricity in the body and to allow new electrical vibration to come from the atmosphere. Three Oil Massage: For the first two days, massage the patient with castor oil, using a clockwise circular motion from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet, always working towards the heart. The next two days use olive oil, and the last two days of the week massage with wheat germ oil. On the seventh day, rest the patient, using no foods, herbs, or juice, only steamdistilled water as much as is desired. Sunbathe: Immediately after the massage, have the patient take a sunbath each day in the nude, not through glass but in direct sun. Only allow two minutes on the front and two minutes on the back the first day. Add two minutes front and back each day but no more. In six days you will be up to twelve minutes front and twelve minutes back. Do not sunbathe between eleven in the morning and one o'clock in the afternoon, that is, not at high noon. If it is a cloudy or cold day, use a sun lamp, but do not allow a burn. Reference: Curing the Incurables" by Dr. John R. Christopher, School of Natural Healing, http://www.herballegacy.com

163

Baths: Each day the patient should have a hot bath followed by a cold shower or cold bath. No soap should be used for the bath unless it is a good biodegradable cleanser. Each day before the bath, give a dry skin brushing (always towards the heart), using a natural bristle brush (not nylon). Herbal Fomentation's: We use an herbal fomentation each night of the six days of the week. It should cover the head area (hair line), down the spine, all the way down to the end of the tailbone. Make a cap fit down to the ears (or use a cotton or wool skull cap) and stitch a flannel strip four- to- five inches wide down the back over the spine area. After wetting the fomentation cloth with the B & B formula and lightly wringing it out, cover it with a plastic over the head (shower cap, etc.) and a strip down the spine. To aid the motor nerve and spinal cord, use the B & B formula, inserting with an eye dropper four to six drops of oil of garlic and four to six drops of this herb tincture into each ear six nights a week. Plug the ears with cotton overnight, and on the seventh day flush out the ears with half and half warm apple cider vinegar and distilled water. Repeat this each week during the program. Zonal Foot Massage (Reflexology): If possible, use zonal therapy on the feet three times a week, leaving one day in between. Zonal therapy will greatly speed up the program.

Reference: Curing the Incurables" by Dr. John R. Christopher, School of Natural Healing, http://www.herballegacy.com

164

Second Week The second week will be the same as the first except, instead of fresh carrot juice, substitute apple juice. During this second week use the Three Oil Massage, sunbaths, zonal therapy, fomentations, etc. With the sunbaths add two minutes front and back onto the final total of the last week. On the day of the fast there may be some physical reactions because you have reached a cleansing cycle. This same cyclical reaction can happen in any healing program in the third week, the seventh week, seventh month, and seventh year. If a cleansing crisis happens at this time, be happy with it, as it shows the program is working well.

Third Week Repeat the full program, except instead of carrot or apple juice use grape juice.

Fourth Week and On Continue to rotate the three juices each week as before. If the patient desires more solid food, just add one solid meal each day. See the Mucusless Diet for meal guidelines. Use no salt, sugar, eggs, meats, bread, milk, or milk products.

I’ve never seen a farmer plant corn and get strawberries. So if you don’t like disease that you’ve created you can heal it. Ok? But you’ve created it.

You did everything necessary for it to surface in your body."- Dr.Richard Schulze, ND., MH 345 "The machinery looks good, the technology seems nice, the stainless steel is shiny, everything smells like isopropyl alchohol; I mean they are the greatest salesmen in the world.

"They couldn't move their hands, they couldn't hold a pen, they couldn't hold their pen and write their name, and their hands were actually fixated claws. And we cured them using everything I've talked about, plus the deep tissue repair herbs....The first thing is you've got to get them off all foods that are acid- forming. Which means the muculous diet....Raw foods, raw food until the arthritis is better and juice fasting....You can't have any animals, any dairy, any fish, any beef, anything that contains uric acid....we used to prescribe a lot of hot and cold showers.

"In Utah the naturopathic physicians took Dr Christopher (one of Dr Shulze's teachers, along with Bernard Jensen) to court. They told him privately that he was curing people too fast and that he cost them business. He spent his life in and out of court and in and out of jail. He was handcuffed and taken away after one of his lectures for giving herbs to ease the suffering of a woman with terminal cancer. Usually the jury acquitted him against the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions. Finally in 1969, he was not so lucky and was convicted and given a suspended sentence, because prescribing (suggesting herbs) without a license was a felony. He was stripped of his citizenship and forbidden to vote.....Dr Shulze wanted to cure the "incurables" but had to live as an "underground" man as he could be arrested. He ran a secret clinic for 20 years, but then made the mistake of giving a public talk. Within weeks he was in jail, but escaped on a technicality. He then quit his secret practice to teach his methods of curing the incurable diseases." - Sam Biser "Natural healing has the power to cure pancreatic cancer.

"We can talk about basic theory right now. But your body doesn’t get sick in an area if the circulation is good there. Now I am talking about blood flow, nerve flow, lymphatic flow, the emotions to that area. The Chinese call it Qi, the Japanese call it Ki, Indians call it Prana, you can call it anything you want. But we must have a vital energy flow to all vital areas of our body. And if an area in our body is sick and diseased, the one thing I know is,. that the vital energy whether be the blood, the nerves, the lymphs whatever is cut off to that area. So one of the greatest healing parts of the Incurables Program is stimulating the blood flow to that area." - Dr.Richard Schulze, ND., MH 345 "Natural healing has the power to cure pancreatic cancer. But usually, before I see the patient, medical treatments- - not the disease - have destroyed the patient's body." - Dr.Richard Schulze, ND., MH 345 "We’ve had numerous people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s who got better; they just come out of it; they are leading normal lives today. And then, of course, what the doctors say is it’s not Alzheimer’s. You run into that Catch- 22 all the time. They say, well, it was probably just a temporary premature dementia, and they writeoff the recovery to preserve their ignorance." - Dr.Richard Schulze, ND., MH 345

"Medicine in our country has been on a crusade over the last 100 years to wipe out every other form of medicine. One of the things they did that was unique was they lobbied to make words legal only for them to use. Today in the US, only a medical doctor can diagnose a disease, prescribe something, and cure you. Nobody else can say "diagnose", "prescribe" and "cure". That means that nobody can cure you but a medical doctor….I can’t say "Chaparral is the cure for a tumour". I can’t say garlic is the cure for cholestrol or high blood pressure. They have made the laws. So that makes me look stupid, impotent, and it makes the herbs look weak and wimpy. I can’t as a herbalist, say that an herb will cure, even though a lot of prescription drugs are made from herbs. This was a tactic by organised medicine to wipe out the opposition, by making them look silly and impotent…they have the words…they control the high ground. They can walk out and say, "Yes, if you take this drug, you will cure yourself." But they hired lawyers and got the government behind them. If I say that I go to jail. It isn’t because the herbs don’t work and the drugs are better, it’s just because they have more money, they lobbied more and got the law passed in their favour. That is why people get this idea that herbs don’t cure you." - Dr.Richard Schulze, ND., MH 345

"Making onion and garlic a staple in your healthy way of eating may greatly lower your risk of several common cancers, suggests a large data set of casecontrol studies from Southern European populations" (Galeone C, Pelucchi C et al, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition). "Study participants consuming the most onions showed an 84% reduced risk for cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx, 88% reduced risk for esophageal cancer, 56% reduced risk for colorectal cancer, 83% reduced risk for laryngeal cancer, 25% reduced risk for breast cancer, 73% reduced risk for ovarian cancer, 71% reduced risk for prostate cancer, and 38% reduced risk for renal cell cancer, compared to those eating the least onions. Similarly, those eating the most garlic had a 39% reduced risk for cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx, 57% reduced risk for esophageal cancer, 26% reduced risk for colorectal cancer, 44% reduced risk for laryngeal cancer, 10% reduced risk for breast cancer, 22% reduced risk for ovarian cancer, 19% reduced risk for prostate cancer, and 31% reduced risk for renal cell cancer, compared to those eating the least garlic."

The ancient Indians valued the medicinal properties of garlic and thought it to be an aphrodisiac. But it was not considered to be suitable food for the upper classes who despised its strong odor. It was also forbidden by monks who believed it to be a stimulant which aroused passions. Widows, adolescents and those who had taken up a vow or were fasting could not eat garlic because of its stimulant quality. It appears in the Sanskrit medical treatise, the Charaka Samhita dating from around the 2nd century BC to the 2nd century AD. Its medicinal properties were also described in the Navanitaka text written in the 4th century AD by Buddhists. This is a literature is written in a mixture of Sanskrit and Prakrit languages and forms part of the Bower Manuscripts found by Lt. H. Bower in Chinese Turkestan in the late 19th century. It was believed to cure several illnesses and promote a long life. Garlic also has a history of use in Ayurvedic medicine. It was thought to possess five of the six rasas or tastes defined in the Ayurvedic system, only missing the sour taste. This gave it its Sanskrit name, lasuna (or rasuna). It was thought that hanging garlic bulbs on 175

Onion and garlic use and human cancer. BACKGROUND: Interest in the potential benefits of allium vegetables, in particular, onion (Allium cepa) and garlic (Allium sativum), has its origin in antiquity, but the details of these benefits are still open to discussion. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the role of allium vegetables in the etiology of various neoplasms. Previous data are scanty and are based mainly on Chinese studies. DESIGN: Using data from an integrated network of Italian and Swiss casecontrol studies, we analyzed the relation between frequency of onion and garlic use and cancer at several sites. We calculated odds ratios (ORs) by using multivariate logistic regression models that were adjusted for energy intake and other major covariates. RESULTS: Consumption of onions varied between 0- 14 and 0- 22 portions/wk among cases and controls, respectively. The multivariate ORs for the highest category of onion and garlic intake were, respectively, 0.16 and 0.61 for cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx, 0.12 and 0.43 for esophageal cancer, 0.44 and 0.74 for colorectal cancer, 0.17 and 0.56 for laryngeal cancer, 0.75 and 0.90 for breast cancer, 0.27 and 0.78 for ovarian cancer, 0.29 and 0.81 for prostate cancer, and 0.62 and 0.69 for renal cell cancer. "This uniquely large data set from southern European populations shows an inverse association between the frequency of use of allium vegetables and the risk of several common cancers. Allium vegetables are a favorable correlate of cancer risk in Europe. Galeone C, Pelucchi C et al., Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche "Mario Negri," Milan, Italy, Italy., Am J Clin Nutr. 2006 364

doors would check the spread of diseases such as smallpox. Although highly regarded as a medicine, garlic was avoided in cookery. The Buddhists and Jains avoided eating it as did high- born Hindus and Brahmins. The Chinese pilgrim Xuan Zang visiting the sub- continent in the 7th century AD, stated that the food use of garlic was unknown, which would have been particularly true of the Buddhist circles in which he moved. This attitude changed with the centuries and by the period of Muslim rule, garlic, ginger and onion were, and continue to be, an indispensable trio of flavors in cuisines of South Asia.

(â&#x20AC;Ś)High intake of RC garlic may be associated with a protective effect against stomach and colorectal cancers. Heterogeneity of effect estimates, differences in dose estimation, publication bias, and possible alternative hypotheses (eg, confounding by total vegetable consumption) preclude sole reliance on summary effect estimates. Fleischauer AT, Poole C, Arab L., University of North Carolina, USA 349

(â&#x20AC;Ś) Accumulating evidence from epidemiological studies as well as laboratory data supports the anticancer properties of garlic widely used as a medicinal herb and spice. Garlic and its organosulfur compounds (OSCs) appear to exert their anticarcinogenic effects through multiple mechanisms that include modulation of carcinogen metabolism, inhibition of DNA adduct formation, upregulation of antioxidant defences and DNA repair systems, and suppression of cell proliferation by blocking cell cycle progression and/or inducing apoptosis. Since multiple signaling pathways are dysfunctional in cancer and new oncogenic mutations accumulate with carcinogenic progression, dietary agents such as garlic with its rich array of bioactive OSCs that modulate cancer cascades offer promise as potential chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agents. - Nagini S, Annamalai University, Tamil Nadu, India 363

Can garlic reduce risk of cancer? (The following information was excerpted from: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition by Richard S. Rivlin) 350, 351, 352, 353

The use of garlic for medicinal purposes dates to antiquity. The Bible mentions garlic with regard to the Jewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; flight from Egypt (â&#x20AC;Ś). Indeed, Hippocrates considered garlic to be a vital part of his therapeutic armamentarium 354, 355. Within recent years interest in garlic has grown greatly, particularly in relation to the prevention and treatment of cancer. Garlic has been found to contain a large number of potent bioactive compounds with anticancer properties, largely allylsulfide derivatives Garlic together with vitamins E and C reduced the incidence of precancerous gastric lesions in a large population in China 356. Garlic derivatives have been found to influence an increasing number of molecular mechanisms in carcinogenesis, including DNA adduct formation, scavenging of free radicals, mutagenesis, cell proliferation and differentiation, and angiogenesis 357. The growth rate of cancer cells is reduced by garlic, with cell cycle blockade that occurs particularly in the G2/M phase. Apoptosis is stimulated by garlic 358. Diallylsulfide, a powerful garlic component, has been reported to inhibit oxidative stress caused by testosterone and to accelerate testosterone metabolism. We have postulated that in the early stages of prostate cancer, when sensitivity to testosterone is retained, the predominant effect of Allium derivatives is to stimulate testosterone degradation and, in the later stages, to interfere with signal transduction 359. Furthermore, garlic is a seleniferous plant, accumulating selenium from the soil against a concentration gradient. Selenium has many ANTICANCER actions, particularly in control of genes involved in carcinogenesis. The PROLIFERATION of human prostate cancer cell lines, both androgen sensitive (LNCaP) and androgen insensitive (PC- 3), is inhibited by Allium derivatives 177

from garlic in a dose- dependent fashion 359. Stimulation of APOPTOSIS has been related to inactivation of the Akt signaling axis. Rodent recipients of either androgensensitive or androgen- insensitive human prostate cancer cell lines show reduction in the serum concentration of prostate specific antigen. In addition to inhibiting primary cancer, Allium derivatives from garlic may further INHIBIT metastatic processes. In an androgen- independent prostate cancer mouse model, the water- soluble Allium derivative, S- allyllmercaptocysteine, inhibited metastases to the lung and adrenal gland by 90% 360. Despite these examples and the large base of basic research showing potent anticancer effects of various water- and fat- soluble derivatives of garlic 361, an evidencebased review in this issue of the Journal concludes that effects of garlic are only modest in reducing risk of cancer. Kim and Kwon 362 indicate that there is insufficient evidence to show any relation between garlic and cancer of the stomach, breast, lung, or endometrium (â&#x20AC;Ś). How can one reconcile these divergent conclusions? To qualify as a health claim, the totality of publicly available scientific evidence (including evidence from welldesigned studies) must show that such evidence truly supports the claim. In reality, the evidencebased analyses reported here and elsewhere rely largely on clinical trials with active agents and placebo controls. The number of such trials that are considered scientifically sound in this analysis is remarkably few, and the number of subjects involved is generally small. Thus, the very strict criteria required to make a health claim may not be met by the limited number of studies conducted to date that are currently available. This article should serve as a stimulus to extend and broaden the interventional approaches to risk reduction by the use of garlic in susceptible populations, and eventually in the general public.

"In 35 years of practice, and working with the people and teaching, I have never on house calls lost one heart attack patient and the reason is, whenever I go in- - if they are still breathing- - I pour down them a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water, and within minutes they are up and around)." - Dr. Christopher Dr. Patrick Quillin "Cayenne pepper - prized for thousands of years for its healing power. Folklore from around the world recounts amazing results using cayenne pepper in simple healing and in baffling health problems. But cayenne pepper is not just a healer from ancient history. Recent clinical studies have been conducted on many of the old- time health applications for this miracle herb. Again and again, the therapeutic value of cayenne pepper has been medically validated."

Allergies: Cayenne reduces or even cures severe chronic allergic and nonallergic conditions that make people‘s noses run constantly. Angina: Herbalist John R. Christopher suggests this formula for making a cayenne tincture: Put one ounce of dried capsicum in a glass jar. Add one pint of alcohol such as 150 proof. Close the jar tightly and shake it four times daily. Keep mixture in the jar for only two weeks and no longer. Strain the liquid through a double- layered cheesecloth. Begin this process at the start of a full moon (this should be new moon) for greater potency. Store in an amber glass bottle. Seal tightly. To use, place six drops of the tincture under the tongue twice daily or else dilute the same amount in six ounces of water or juice. Take on an empty stomach or between meals. Note: if you are taking nitroglycerin for angina, do not discontinue medication or use this remedy without your physician‘s permission. Arthritis: The anti- inflammatory action of cayenne is attributed to the effect of capsaicin on substance P. Substance P is a nervous system- derived chemical (a peptide), released in the spinal cord as well as from the peripheral nerve endings. This neuropeptide has multiple pro- inflammatory properties and is released in greater quantities from pain transmission nerves (the sensory afferent nerve fiber terminals) located in knee and ankle joints, where a great deal of arthritic swelling usually occurs. Excess substance P isn‘t good because it breaks down the cartilage cushions in joints, contributes to osteoarthritis. It also serves as a pain neurotransmitter in both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. In other words, overproduction of substance P in your system means you‘ll be feeling a great deal of pain. Capsaicin inhibits the activity of substance P.

181

Asthma: Asthma, like arthritis, might be caused by an overproduction of substance P, and that excess receptors for it were in the lungs. A cayenne pepper tincture similar to the one given for angina might help to relieve the belabored breathing common the asthma. Atherosclerosis or Arteriosclerosis: Cayenne softens the arteries, dilates the circulatory system, strengthens the heart, and cleans the inner walls of the circulatory system. Blood Clots: Cayenne protects against blood clot formation by causing an increase in fibrinolytic (clot- dissolving) activity of the red blood cells. Bowel Diseases: The neurotransmitter called substance P is released from the peripheral neurons (those outside the brain and spinal cord) that transmit pain signals to the brain; this, in turn, helps regulate the response of the immune system to damaged tissue. People with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases have high numbers of receptors for substance P in their intestinal tissue. With too many substance P receptors in the intestinal tract, the immune system is apt to overreact, inducing enough inflammation to trigger the sensory neurons to send more pain signals and release more substance P. This viscous cycle eventually leads to autoimmune bowel disorders like ulcerative colitis and Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s disease. Nerve endings that release substance P are also present in the urinary bladder; when any inflammation occurs there, greater amounts of substance P are automatically released, thus exacerbating inflammation. Substance P content was strongly reduced by 80 percent following pretreatment with a high dose of capsaicin injected beneath the skin. Capsicumâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s properties can also substantially reduce the release of substance P in those suffering from various bowel diseases.

Bruises: An ointment made by combining one part of cayenne pepper powder with five parts of melted Vaseline. The mixture was thoroughly blended and then allowed to cool until in congealed again. Apply this salve topically to injured skin or muscle tissue once a day for about a week. Cancer: Capsicum can protect the body against some known food and beverage chemicals that can cause cancer and induce cell mutations. (When capsaicin is taken with plant chlorophyll its mutagenic properties are suppressed.) Common Cold/Influenza: At the onset of symptoms take one teaspoon of cayenne powder in a glass of warm water with the juice of one lemon and a teaspoon of honey; stir thoroughly and drink slowly. The cayenne helps to flush out the bacteria and viruses responsible for the cold or flu by causing eyes to water, skin to sweat, nose to run, and lungs to discharge. This rush of fluids from the body carries out the invisible microbes responsible for such infections. Congestive Heart Failure: Cayenne strengthens and relaxes the heart, dilates the circulatory system, and clears accumulated debris. Over the long run, a seriously diseased heart can return to near normal with the regular use of Cayenne pepper. Diabetes: Certain medicinal herbs are known for their strong hypoglycemic actions: garlic and onion, goldenseal and pau d‘arco. Another equally potent hypoglycemic agent is cayenne pepper. o For diabetes mellitus the recommended dose of cayenne is two to four capsules daily with means. The ‚hypoglycemic effect‘ means that the cayenne lowered blood sugar which is what insulin does because diabetics have high blood sugar. But for those already suffering from low blood sugar, cayenne is best avoided. Diabetic Neuropathy: The topical application of capsaicin cream is quite safe and very effective in the treatment of pain ordinarily observed in patients experiencing diabetic neuropathy and diabetic polyneuropathy.

Duodenal Ulcers: When capsaicin was given regularly it increased the flow of protective mucus within the gut, thereby helping to heal duodenal ulcers. Elevated Cholesterol: The cholesterol- reducing properties of capsaicin have been studied by various biochemists and reported in the scientific literature. Capsaicin has been shown to help prevent cholesterol associated heart diseases such as arteriosclerosis and its more advanced for of atherosclerosis. Elevated Triglycerides: Medical researchers are also looking at the role of triglycerides in coronary artery disease and finding that these, more than cholesterol itself, may be to blame. (Triglycerides are neutral fats synthesized from carbohydrates for storage in body fat cells. When broken up by enzymatic action, they release free fatty acids in the blood.) Fatigue: For general and chronic fatigue; capsaicin, by itself, can be very hypoglycemic, but when used in combination with equal amounts of ginseng and gotu kola, capsaicin can increase biochemical endurance during periods of emotional and physical stress. Free Radical Activity: Compounds known as antioxidants effectively check the free- roaming and ravaging behavior of free radicals. Capsorubin, a carotenoid associated with capsaicin in cayenne pepper, functions as an excellent antioxidant that diminishes the potentially harmful actions of the free radicals. Frostbite/Frozen Limbs: Feed the victim small amounts of powdered cayenne a number to times a day; this will stimulate the heart and blood to the damaged area; the dead tissue will drop away and new tissue will be in its place. This treatment can be painful, but it is effective. Headaches: Nasal sprays containing tiny amounts of capsaicin are used to treat the intense pain of cluster headaches; also capsaicin ointment applied to the temples, the

Refernce: Capsicum by Dr. John R. Christopher, thanks to Paul Wheeler, J.CROW'S Cayenne Pepper, http://www.jcrows.com

184

ointment raised the temperature at the temples, which ordinarily experience a heal loss during cluster attacks. (Keep the ointment away from the eyes.) Head Congestion: A useful remedy from the Maya Indians of Belize calls for a warm tea made from cayenne pepper to be used in breaking up congestion in the nose, head and sinuses. Add one eighth teaspoon of cayenne to a cup of hot water. Heart Arrhythmias: Capsaicin reduced ventricular tachycardias and ventricular fibrillations. Capsaicin also dramatically improved blood flow to the heart. Capsaicin seems to function as a natural calcium blocker, analogous to the effect of some prescription heart drugs. Heart Attack: Dr. John R. Christopher used this formula: (1) steep one teaspoon of powdered cayenne in one cup of hot water until it is cool enough to drink; (2) if the patient can breathe normally, prop up the patient and pour the cayenne tea down the personss throat. Usually within a couple of minutes the heart attack will have ceased. Also, in an emergency, where very quick action is indicated, the alcohol/cayenne tincture described above can be administered by placing a few drops beneath the tongue. Heart Disease: Because of its tonic effect on the heart and circulatory system cayenne pepper is an excellent remedy for all manner of heart disease. In places where cayenne is a frequent part of the diet (Mexico, South East Asia, India, and the state of New Mexico), heart disease rates are lower. Heatstroke: Cayenne pepper, a familiar medicinal and culinary spice with well known heating properties, can produce an opposite reaction. When taken in small amounts, it stimulates circulation and the digestive processes. But, when consumed in large amounts it will cause a cooling effect. This helps to explain why people living in hot tropical climates are apt to eat a lot of cayenne. The cooling sensation is produced in two different ways. In one way the body (especially the face) starts to sweat; the more perspiration that gathers on the skin, the cooler a person will feel. The other way is Refernce: Capsicum by Dr. John R. Christopher, thanks to Paul Wheeler, J.CROW'S Cayenne Pepper, http://www.jcrows.com

185

through the release of endorphins by capsaicin into the bloodstream of people who eat cayenne pepper. These natural opiates in the brain affect the body‘s own internal temperature, lowering it a few degrees. Hemorrhage: Utah Herbalist Dr. John R. Christopher was a strong proponent of cayenne pepper, believing it to stop bleeding better than anything else in the plant kingdom. Herpes Zoster: The herpes family of viruses is divided into a variety of types. The varicella zoster type is responsible for two very distinct clinical disorders, namely primary varicella (chicken pox) and zoster (shingles). This particular kind of herpes virus is capable of affecting nerves and causing organ damage and severe pain that can last for months or even years. Cayenne pepper taken internally or the topical application of any capsaicin cream will help to minimize agonizing pain that can persist during and long after the viral infection is gone. Hypertension: Cayenne lowers blood pressure. Indigestion: In the early- to- middle part of the 19th century there thrived an eclectic system of alternative medicine known as Thomsonian medicine. One of its outstanding features was the limited number of primary herbs repeatedly utilized, although many other secondary herbs were used occasionally. Samuel Thomson, the system‘s founder, recommended cayenne pepper the goldenseal root for their excellent healing properties. Of cayenne he said: ‚I am perfectly convinced that cayenne pepper is the best thing that can be used to produce a natural digestion of the food which will nourish the body, establish perspiration, and restore the health of the patient. I found it to be perfectly safe in all cases, and have never known any bad effects to arise from its use.‘ He frequently used it in cases involving disturbances of the gastrointestinal tract. Capsaicin in the red pepper dramatically increased gastric secretions within the gut but

186

did no actual harm. More specifically, the number of goblet cells (mucus secreting cells) in the duodenum portion of the small intestine increased in the presence of capsaicin. Infection: Anyone at all familiar with the role of vitamin C in the health care process knows that it is the number one nutrient for warding off or treating existing infections in the body. But what isn‘t so well known is the part that a species of capsicum played in its discovery. Hungarian biochemist Albert Szent- Gyorgyi had been studying enzymes for years when he identified an active chemical, which he labeled ‚hexuronic acid.‘ Hexuronic acid was found to be effective against scurvy and further tests revealed it to be a powerful nutrient, soon the chemical was renamed ascorbic acid. SzentGyorgyi found that red pepper contained large amounts of ascorbic acid. Itching: People who suffer from severe itches i.e., pruritis, notalgia, parasthetica, and lichen simplex chronicus experience noticeable improvement when treated topically with any of the capsaicinoid creams. Lumbago: Use cotton or wool which has been impregnated with capsaicin to successfully treat cases of lumbago, neuralgia, or rheumatism. The treated material is applied to the skin and left on for 20 minutes, use as frequently as needed. Motion Sickness: Cayenne pepper is quite effective in dealing with motion sickness. A teaspoonful of cayenne in a tablespoon of olive oil taken internally at the first sign of nausea will help to prevent further symptoms of sea or air sickness. Or one- half teaspoon full each of cayenne and ginger root (chopped very fine or pulverized) in olive oil. Mouth Sores: Oral stomatitis is a very painful condition of mouth sores caused by cancer chemotherapy and radiation treatments. The sores can be overwhelming to the point that some individuals can‘t chew food and must, therefore, cease treatment for their cancers. But in a very innovative way, capsaicin was used to treat this serious problem in cancer patients. The capsaicin was administered through candy; cook butterscotch brittle Refernce: Capsicum by Dr. John R. Christopher, thanks to Paul Wheeler, J.CROW'S Cayenne Pepper, http://www.jcrows.com

187

with capsaicin; cancer patients who consumed the candy with delight, reported feeling no more pain afterwards. Multiple Sclerosis: Using cayenne pepper with those diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, IN THE EARLY STAGES ONLY. Taking four capsules of cayenne each day with food for several months, their symptoms subsided to a remarkable degree, but didn‘t entirely disappear. Nerve Inflammation: Capsaicin is capable of reducing the sensation of painful inflammation in the sensory nerves and the pain- sensitive nerve terminals. Both topical creams and oral supplementation appear to work equally well to achieve this. Neuralgia: Controlled studies have demonstrated that topically applied capsaicin is a very safe and effective treatment for neuralgia. Night Blindness: Historian Garcilaso de la Vega described what he had heard form someone else in 1609: ‚I heard a Spaniard from Mexico declare that cayenne pepper was very good for the sight, so he used to eat two roasted peppers as a sort of dessert after every mean.‘ A number of Mexican Indians have said that regular consumption of cayenne and chile peppers kept their eyesight from failing as they grew older. Obesity: Capsaicin can burn extra calories in a way similar to exercise. Pain: For the past several years a growing body of medical evidence has been gathering; demonstrating capsaicin‘s unique ability to stop the sensation of pain within the body. Capsaicin works by desensitizing small- diameter nerve fibers, the ones responsible for pain. But it has no effect on large- diameter nerve fibers. Peptic Ulcer/Duodenal Ulcer: Capsicum might actually protect against peptic ulcers, a suggestion that is counter intuitive. The capsaicin protects the gastric mucosal membrane against damage from alcohol and aspirin; it does this by stimulating a hormone that increases blood flow and nourishes the gastric mucosal membrane.

Poor Appetite: Mixing small amounts of cayenne pepper with various foods, made the foods more appetizing to those who had no real desire to eat. Psoriasis: The prescription cream Zostix, whose mail ingredient is capsaicin, has helped a number of older people suffering form psoriasis and shingles. When the cream was applied topically, it blocked the synthesis and nerve transport of substance P, the chemical largely responsible for the skin pain induced by these skin diseases. Respiratory Disorders: The ancient Maya of the Yucatan Peninsula and the Guatemalan Highlands routinely incorporated cayenne pepper into their materia medica for the treatment of asthma, bronchitis, coughs, colds, sore throats and other respiratory disorders. Shingles: For pain relief apply capsaicinoid cream to the patients shinglessensitive skin. Toothache: The Irish developed a great remedy for instant relief from excruciating toothache. One level teaspoon of cayenne pepper was combined with one pint of strong Irish whiskey and left to sit for two weeks, being thoroughly shaken every day. The solution was then strained into another bottle and stored until needed in a cool, dark, dry place. About four drops of this pepper extract could be put on a cotton ball and inserted into the mouth onto the infected tooth. Within minutes, the distressing pain disappeared (...). Emergencies: It is a good idea to always have some Cayenne extract on hand for emergencies. Dr. Anderson carries capsules of cayenne with him in the car and whenever he goes hiking, backpacking or mountain climbing. He says, "You never know when you may find someone having a heart attack or some other emergency." If you want to carry something in your first aid kit for a heart attack, carry a cayenne tincture. Even a bottle of Tabasco SauceÂŽ might be good enough. Dr Refernce: Capsicum by Dr. John R. Christopher, thanks to Paul Wheeler, J.CROW'S Cayenne Pepper, http://www.jcrows.com

Christopher discovered that a cup of cayenne tea, one tsp of cayenne in a cup of hot water, stopped a heart attack in less than three minutes. If you feel one coming on, try a few droppers- full of cayenne tincture and if that doesn’t stop it, then nitroglycerine wouldn’t work either. If a heart attack should occur, it is suggested that a teaspoon of extract be given every 15 minutes or a teaspoon of Cayenne in a glass of hot water be taken until the crisis has passed. Also knew of a doctor who rushed out into the parking lot and put cayenne tincture into the mouth of a man who had died of a heart attack while he was parking his car. Within a few minutes, the man’s heart starting beating again. More about cayenne and heart attacks. According to Dr. Richard Anderson, using cayenne and hawthorn berries together has a most incredible effect upon the heart. He believes that a regimen of cayenne and hawthorn berries for several months will greatly strengthen the heart, and possibly prevent heart attacks. He states further that if an attack were to occur in someone who had followed this regimen, chances are very good that no damage would occur. He tells the following story about his mother: Cayenne has been known to stop heart attacks within 30 seconds. For example, when a 90- year- old man in Oregon had a severe heart attack, his daughter was able to get Cayenne extract into his mouth. He was pronounced dead by the medics, but within a few minutes, he regained consciousness. On the way to the hospital, he remained in a semi- conscious state, but the daughter kept giving him the Cayenne extract. By the time they got to the hospital, he had fully recovered and wanted to go home and mow the lawn. The doctor asked what she had given him, as he said it was the closest thing to a miracle he had ever seen.

Scientific Studies Confirm Cayenne Pepper Kills Cancer Cells (The following information is excerpted from: Scientific Studies Confirm Cayenne Pepper Kills Cancer Cells By Glenn Reschke, 2009 http://ezinearticles.com/, CayennePepper.info)441

In a rare moment of honesty, multiple Western medicine clinical studies have confirmed that capsaicin, the metabolite compound in hot peppers of which cayenne pepper possesses in abundance, causes cancer cells to literally selfterminate in a process known as "APOPTOSIS." Yet hardly anyone knows about it. The media for the most part has not reported it. This is GROUNDBREAKING information. Think about it: Cayenne pepper's chief metabolite compound capsaicin has been proven in medical, clinical studies to KILL leukemic, pancreatic and prostate cancer cells! "What research?" You may ask? There have been separate studies conducted that all came to the same conclusion. Let's go over them now. In a study reported in March 2006 by the American Association for Cancer Research 365, it was reported that capsaicin is able to kill prostate cancer cells by forcing them to undergo apoptosis. The study says capsaicin, "...has a profound ANTIPROLIFERATIVE effect on prostate cancer cells, inducing the apoptosis of both androgen receptor- positive and - negative prostate cancer cell lines..." Furthermore, the same study says, "...Our data suggests that capsaicin, or a related analogue, may have a role in the MANAGEMENT of prostate cancer." As 191

"When life is on the line, and time is against you, learn how to use cayenne pepper, the most powerful bloodmoving herb on the planet." – Sam Biser "Cayenne is most effective for heart and blood circulation problems, and for angina pectoris, palpitations, and cardiac arrhythmias. It's a miracle for congestive heart failure. It is a specific for anyone who has any type of circulatory problems, such as high or low blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, triglycerides and fats, even varicose veins." - Dr.Schulze, ND., MH 345 "Cayenne pepper – prized for thousands of years for its healing power. Folklore from around the world recounts amazing results using cayenne pepper in simple healing and in baffling health problems. But cayenne pepper is not just a healer from ancient history. Recent clinical studies have been conducted on many of the old- time health applications for this miracle herb. Again and again, the therapeutic value of cayenne pepper has been medically validated." – Dr. Patrick Quillin from The Healing Power of Cayenne Pepper "Pour some cayenne pepper in a glass of warm water and have patient drink it all down. He will come right out of his problem due to the cayenne enabling the body to normalize the blood circulation." John Christopher, Master Herbalist

reported by the British Broadcasting Network, a study conducted at the University of Nottingham in England suggests as well that capsaicin is able to trigger "self- suicide" or apoptosis in lung- and pancreatic- cancer cells. Studies conducted in Japan showed natural capsaicin inhibit the growth of leukemic- cancer cells as well. Capsaicin Defined: So just what is capsaicin? Capsaicin is the key component of peppers of the Capsicum genus of the Solanaceae family. Cayenne pepper is a prominent member of that family. Capsaicin is a capsaicinoid. It is a secondary metabolite chemical compound that stimulates your chemoreceptor nerve endings and your mucous membranes - - that is why you notice the heat of such hot chili peppers or cayenne pepper. Conclusion: You don't need to know the biochemistry behind cayenne pepper to glean the health benefits of cayenne pepper or capsicum as it's sometimes called. Cayenne pepper is a PHENOMENAL herb that has a number of phenomenal medical uses including nourishing the heart, preventing heart attacks, cleaning the blood, preventing tooth decay, cleaning your arteries, and even healing hemorrhoids. And now medical science has proven it is a major deterrent in preventing prostate, lung, pancreatic and leukemic cancer.

Dr. Timothy Bates lead the Nottingham study. Interviewed by the BBC in 2007, Dr. Bates described the discovery this way: "As these compounds attack the very heart of tumor cells, we believe that we have in effect discovered a fundamental 'Achilles heel' for all cancers." Can Chili Peppers Cure Cancer? www.Suite101.com "One of my readers was scheduled for surgery to have his veins scraped out. Within days, cayenne pepper saved him and the operation wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t needed!" - Sam Biser. "Cayenne should be an herb which everyone has in the kitchen, the bathroom and in the trunk of your car...Because there is no other herb that moves the blood faster to the brain than cayenne. ...It relieves the pain of angina pectoris by helping to get more blood to the heart muscle itself. And if a person has a heart attack, Cayenne is the surest firstaid remedy...I have had almost a hundred patients actually save their lives by using a tablespoon of Cayenne pepper in a glass of warm water and drinking it down fast." - Dr.Schulze, ND., MH 345

"Milk thistle" has emerged as the most widely known English common name for the plant. Older works list it as Mary thistle, St. Mary thistle, Marian thistle, Lady's thistle, and Holy thistle (not to be confused with Blessed thistle, Cnicus benedictus). Latin synonyms include Carduus marianus L. and Cnicus marianus. Silybum derives from a name applied to some edible thistles by the first century Greek physician Dioscorides. The genus contains two species. The other species is S. eburneum, indigenous to the Mediterranean region. The specific name marianum preserves the legend that the

white mottling of the leaves was caused by a drop of the Virgin Mary' s milk (Nicholson, 1886- 87). The plant is also traditionally used as a galactogogue (stimulating milk production), perhaps contributing to word origins of the common name (…). Medical History: In one form or another, various preparations of milk thistle, especially the seeds, have been used medicinally for over 2,000 years. In modern research scientists often attempt to find new biologically active plant substances through random screening methods. However, Silybum is a classic example of the value of utilizing historical records for the development of modern herb products. Its use as a liver- protecting agent dates to early Greek references. The first century Roman writer Pliny the Elder (A.D. 23- 79) noted that the juice of the plant mixed with honey is excellent for "carrying off bile" (Jones, 1966). Historical references on the plant are particularly abundant in the herbal literature of the Middle Ages, including the anti- liver toxic activity of the seeds (Halbach, 1976). While native to Southern Europe, the plant was found in England by the end of the sixteenth century. Grieve (1931) quotes Gerard (1597), "My opinion is that this is the BEST REMEDY that grows against all melancholy diseases" [diseases of the liver].

He also writes, "The seed and distilled water are held powerful to all the purposes aforesaid, and besides, it is often applied both inwardly to drink, and outwardly with cloths or spunges [sic], to the region of the liver, to cool the distemper thereof...." The plant is absent from most American works on medicinal plants until the end of the nineteenth century. Eclectic physicians Felter and Lloyd (1898) list the seeds as Carduus marianus. They write, "[It] is an old remedy which had nearly passed out of use and has more recently been revived." They also state, "Congestion of the liver, spleen, and kidneys is relieved by its use." A tincture of the whole plant is an official preparation of the first United States Homeopathic Pharmacopeia (Anon. 1878). In homeopathy the seed tincture is used for liver disorders, jaundice, gall stones, peritonitis, coughs, bronchitis, varicose veins, and congestion of the uterus (Schauenberg and Paris, 1977).

Review of clinical trials evaluating safety and efficacy of milk thistle (Silybum marianum [L.] Gaertn.) Milk thistle extracts have been used as traditional herbal remedies for almost 2000 years. The extracts are still widely used to protect the liver against toxins and to control chronic liver diseases. Recent experimental and clinical studies suggest that milk thistle extracts also have anticancer, antidiabetic, and cardioprotective effects. This article reviews clinical trials of milk thistle conducted in the past 5 years including pharmacokinetic and toxicity studies, herb- drug interactions, and other safety issues. Several trials have studied the effects of milk thistle for patients with liver diseases, cancer, hepatitis C, HIV, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia. Promising results have been reported in the protective effect of milk thistle in certain types of cancer, and ongoing trials will provide more evidence about this effect. In addition, new established doses and improvement on the quality and standardization of this herb will provide the much- awaited evidence about the efficacy of milk thistle in the treatment of liver diseases. Milk thistle extracts are known to be safe and well tolerated, and toxic or adverse effects observed in the reviewed clinical trials seem to be minimal. The future of milk thistle research is promising, and highquality randomized clinical trials on milk thistle versus placebo may be needed to further demonstrate the safety and efficacy of this herb. - Tamayo C, Diamond S., Research and Development at Flora Inc, Bethesda, USA.

produce both a PROTECTIVE and CURATIVE EFFECT on liver damage resulting from the highly toxic compounds, phalloidin and alpha- amanitin (from the death cap Amanita phalloides, one of the most deadly of poisonous mushrooms). Poisoning from ingestion of the mushroom, given its severe damage to the liver, has been very difficult to treat (Weiss, 1988). Vogel and Temme (1969) note that earlier experiments showed that silymarin had an anti- hepatotoxic (anti- liver toxic) effect, when it was administered before poisoning by phalloidin. In their 1969 study, Vogel and Temme showed a curative anti- hepatotoxic effect when silymarin was administered after exposure to phalloidin, establishing a model for therapeutic use in humans. This study suggested that silymarin- could both PREVENT and CURE liver damage. Silymarin was considered to have high anti- hepatotoxic activity, given the fact that phalloidin is one of the substances most toxic to the liver. The anti- hepatotoxic effect of silymarin was found to be dependent upon the time interval in which poisoning and therapy took place, as well as the degree of liver damage. It is suggested that silymarin prevents penetration of the two Amanita toxins by competing with the toxins for the same receptor on cell membranes (Hikino and Kiso, 1988).

Milk thistle in liver diseases: past, present, future. Silybum marianum or milk thistle (MT) is the most well- researched plant in the treatment of liver disease. The active complex of MT is a lipophilic extract from the seeds of the plant and is composed of three isomer flavonolignans (silybin, silydianin, and silychristin) collectively known as silymarin. Silybin is a component with the greatest degree of biological activity and makes up 50% to 70% of silymarin. Silymarin is found in the entire plant but it is concentrated in the fruit and seeds. Silymarin acts as an antioxidant by reducing free radical production and lipid peroxidation, has antifibrotic activity and may act as a toxin blockade agent by inhibiting binding of toxins to the hepatocyte cell membrane receptors. In animals, silymarin reduces liver injury caused by acetaminophen, carbon tetrachloride, radiation, iron overload, phenylhydrazine, alcohol, cold ischaemia and Amanita phalloides. Silymarin has been used to treat alcoholic liver disease, acute and chronic viral hepatitis and toxininduced liver diseases. - Abenavoli L, Capasso R, Milic N, Capasso F., Department of Experimental and Clinical Medicine, University Magna Graecia, Catanzaro, Italy, Copyright ÂŠ 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd 377 Reference: Scientific Studies on Milk Thistle 378, 379, 380. 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386

A multicenter trial involving 220 cases of Amanita poisoning treated in German, French, Swiss, and Austrian hospitals was carried out from 1979 to 1982 using silibinin in supportive treatment. (Silibinin, the product form used in the above studies, is a water soluble compound derived from milk thistle seeds that is used in intravenous infusion therapy. It should not be confused with the oral dosage forms of silymarin.) According to the author of the study, Karl Hruby of the University Of Vienna Poison Information Center, the mortality rate was 12.8 percent. This compares with a mortality rate of 22.4 percent carried out in a study involving 205 patients by Floersheim et al. (1982), in which only 16 patients were treated with 20 to 50 mg/kg/day of silibinin. Hruby (1984) concluded that the use of silibinin as an adjunct to current methods of treating Amanita poisoning can lower mortality rates below any levels which have previously been achieved. A follow- up biopsy study by G. Poser (1971) reported that 67 subjects who had been treated as out patients for toxic- metabolic liver damage, chronic hepatitis, and bile duct inflammation showed a drop in chemical parameters associated with liver disease. Chronic hepatitis was bioptically found to be significantly improved after three months of silymarin administration (525 mg/day of silymarin). Conditions associated with bile duct inflammation responded particularly well. In several controlled trials the hepatoprotective effects of silymarin in toxic liver disease could be demonstrated as accelerating normalization of impaired liver function. In a doubleblind study conducted by Fintelmann and Albert (1980), 66 patients, mainly with alcoholinduced toxic liver disease, received either silymarin (420 mg/day) or a placebo for a four week period. Patients who received silymarin showed an accelerated improvement of increased serum levels of liver enzymes GOT (glutamic- oxalacetic transaminase), GPT (glutamic- pyruvic transaminase) and Gamma- GT (gammaglutamyl- transpeptidase).

Several other placebocontrolled doubleblind studies in alcohol- and druginduced liver disease showed a clear superiority of treatment with 420 mg silymarin for 4 to 8 weeks compared with placebo (Di Mario, 1981; Feher and Lang, 1988; Salmi and Sarna, 1982). In a further doubleblind study with 36 patients suffering from alcoholinduced liver disease, pathological liver parameters (GOT, GPT, Gamma- GT, and bilirubin) were significantly reduced after 6 months of treatment with silymarin compared to placebo (Feher et al., 1990). References cited above represent a small sampling of the dozens of clinical studies that have been conducted on silymarin. Double- blind studies on the effect of silymarin on toxic liver damage (mostly induced by alcohol), chronic liver disease, and disease caused by psychopharmaceuticals are reviewed by Hikino and Kiso (1988). They concluded that basic laboratory and clinical data suggest that silymarin is a therapeutically useful medicinal plant product that stabilizes the cell membrane and stimulates protein synthesis while accelerating the process of regeneration in damaged liver tissue, and that these effects are important in the therapeutic efficacy of silymarin. According to a recent review article by Morazzoni and Bombardelli (1995), in Germany, the primary causes of liver intoxication include alcohol (71 percent), psychopharmaceuticals (18 percent), and industrial exposure to chemicals (11 percent). While removal of the liver disease- causing substance is important in management of toxic liver situations, silymarin is the best documented drug for treatment of liver intoxication. Previously, oral clinical application of silybin has been limited by bioavailability. These authors report on a new silybin complex that has been shown to have markedly improved bioavailability. These authors report on a new silybin complex that has been shown to have markedly improved bioavailability, hence pharmacodynamic activity in both animal and human studies.

While silymarin has primarily been used as a phytomedicine, recent studies reviewed by Morazzoni and Bombardelli (1995), suggest future use in dermatological and cosmetic products based on a number of activities including promoting healing at wound sites, improved bum healing, and counteracting skin degeneration and aging via anti-inflammatory and free radical scavenging mechanisms. Summary: For over 2,000 years Europeans have used milk thistle seeds as an herbal treatment for liver disorders. The plant has been grown both as an ornamental and a vegetable. Virtually all parts of the plant have been used as food with no reports of toxicity. Over the past 40 years, intensive chemical, pharmacological, and clinical research has confirmed mechanisms of action and therapeutic value of silymarin in a wide range of human liver disease including toxic metabolic liver damage (such as fatty degeneration of the liver) and supportive treatment of chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. Silymarin, derived from the seeds of the plant, has shown both protective and restorative effects in liver disease. Other components of the seed have proven useful in supportive therapy for death cap mushroom poisoning. The plant is a primary example of the usefulness of using historical efficacy as a starting point for the development of modern applications for medicinal plants.

Life Building with Lobelia (Lobelia inflata) Disorders Treated: Anti- Spasmodic and a Bronchial Dilator, Lobeline stimulates the respiratory center of the brain, producing stronger and deeper breathing, making it very useful in treating many respiratory complaints, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, whooping cough, spasmodic croup, and pneumonia. Relaxes the respiratory and neuromuscular system and acts as a nervine and antispasmodic. Most useful systemic relaxant. For convulsive and inflammatory disorders such as epilepsy, hysterical convulsions, traumatic injuries, tetanus, sores and abscesses, colds and fevers, diphtheria and tonsilitis. For scorpion and snake bites and to induce nausea and vomiting. A poultice of the root has been applied in treating pleurisy, rheumatism, tennis elbow, whiplash injuries, boils, ulcers and hard to heal sores. Properties: nalgesic, cathartic, emetic, expectorant, diaphoretic, antiasthmatic, stimulant, antispasmodic, narcotic, and sedative. (The following information is excerpted from: Lobelia, Juniper & Sage, http://www.juniperandsage.com/) 398

Lobelia has traditional use by Native Americans and was introduced into Western medicine in 1807. It was popularized by Samuel Thomson and was used extensively by the Eclectic physicians. It was a popular herb in the nineteenth century in both North America and England, used as an emetic, antispasmodic, asthma treatment and childbirth aid. During the sociological warfare that ensued between practitioners of medicine in the nineteenth century, lobelia became a symbol. The

Herbal Smoking Mixtures by Howie Brounstein â&#x20AC;&#x17E;(...) Lobelia is another example of a strong herb whose dosage can be regulated by smoking. It is a very strong muscle relaxant and tranquilizer that should not be mixed with any other pharmaceutical tranquilizers or alcohol. It also is an expectorant. As an added bonus it is an alterative that increases your body's own natural defense mechanisms. All this makes it ideal as an herb to stop smoking with. Your body sees Lobelia's main ingredient, lobeline, as nicotine. Certain receptors in your body are waiting to be filled with nicotine and so you feel nicotine fits. Lobeline is the same shape as nicotine and fits into these receptor sites, fooling your body into thinking you've been smoking Tobacco. Lobeline, however, is not addictive when used properly for the short term. The prescription chewing gums that doctors prescribe to quit smoking have lobeline as the main ingredient. Years ago I had a booth at a weekly fair where I sold my herbal products. Eventually I got very tired of this. Towards the end I could no longer stand being available for questions for eight hour stretches. One day I had a wicked headache and took some Lobelia. It was a good solid dose; I had to sit down but my headache was gone. I went to light a cigarette, but after one puff I could not smoke any more. My body felt as if I had smoked too many cigarettes already. It was just the Lobelia (...). - Article written by Howie Brounstein http://home.teleport.com/ 387

herbalists considered it a harmless herb of great therapeutic value while their competitors of the Regular school of medicine considered it a deadly poison. The misinformation of those times has been passed on and the toxicity of lobelia is still under debate to this day. A thorough and extensive research into this matter has found that there are no deaths that have been caused by lobelia, and that much the negative information has been passed down uncritically.388 Lobelia is native to the United States and is a hardy annual that is partially parasitic on the roots of other plants. It has an erect stem, up to two feet tall with alternate, ovate- oblong leaves. The flowers are blue and on racemes. The entire above ground plant, including seeds are the parts used. It is available as bulk herb, capsules, hydroalcoholic extracts, and vinegar extracts. Lobelia contains pyridine alkaloids composed mainly of lobeline, with lesser amounts of lobelanine, lobelanidine and others. Lobeline has many of the same pharmacological actions as nicotine, but less potent. This has led to its use as a tobacco smoking deterrent.389 Lobelia has a traditional use of being an expectorant and being used for asthma and bronchitis. Experiments have shown it to be a bronchoconstrictor for dogs and rats, but a brochodilator with guinea pigs (and presumably humans). 390 It appears to have a cholinergic effect on the respiratory Reference: Lobelia, Juniper & Sage, http://www.juniperandsage.com/)

The important thing to remember about Lobelia is that it is so strong. When making tea, use a teaspoon per 1/2 gallon of water mixed with other herbs. For a smoking mixture add a pinch to a bag of other herbs. If you do take too much Lobelia will make you throw up over 90% of the time. Unfortunately, if you do not throw up, you can have respiratory failure from the sedative effects. This is a very difficult thing to do because you'll feel so wretched long before it's dangerous. Unfortunately, Jethro Kloss in Back to Eden recommends an insane fasting regime that includes using Lobelia every day to throw up." - Article written by Howie Brounstein http://home.teleport.com/ 387

system, and as it binds to nicotine acetylcholine receptors in ganglions it promotes the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine. Its major actions appear to be mediated by the adrenal cortex. Lobeline also is a cardiovascular stimulant with a sympathetic alpha adrenergic hypertensive effect.391 It is reported to case a slight but definite suppression of appetite. Studies have shown it to inhibit intestinal motility.392 It has a definite emetic effect which is mediated by its stimulation of the emetic chemoreceptor trigger zone in the area postrema of the medulla oblongata and activation of vagal and spinal afferent nerves that form the sensory input of the reflex pathways involved in vomiting. Studies have shown Lobelia to have an antidepressant effect, related to the constituent beta- amyrin palmitate. Beta- amyrin palmitate stimulates norepinephrine, which appears to be the mechanism of action.393 Lobelia is a systemic relaxant with a general depressant action the central and autonomic nervous systems and on neuromuscular action. There is a paradoxical effect of both stimulation and relaxation, particularly of the respiratory system. Lobeline is a stimulant while isolobelanine is a relaxant.394 Lobelia is used as a respiratory stimulant, antiasthmatic, expectorant, emetic and an antispasmodic. It is also used as a deterrent to tobacco smoking. The PDR for Herbal Medicine states that it is no longer in use except homeopathically, while in fact in actual practice it is a fairly popular herb. Pyridine alkaloids are the primary active constituent, Lobeline accounting for 20 to 25% of the total. The content of Lobeline diminishes with the age of the plant from 1.95% in the juvenile to 1.46%in the adolescent to .76% in the mature plant, and also varies in the parts of the plant (â&#x20AC;Ś).395 It also contains beta- amyrin palmitate, chelidonic acid, caoutchouc, resins, gums, wax, lipids and inflatin.

An infusion is made with one cup of boiling water and Âź to Â˝ teaspoon of the dried herb, taken three times a day. The liquid extract, 5 to 30 drops, taken three times a day. Lobelia should not be used during pregnancy, with tobacco sensitivity, high blood pressure, pneumonia or fluid around the lungs, dyspnea from chronic heart disease.397 Ingestion of too much lobelia usually results in vomiting, lessening the likelihood of an overdose. The toxic symptoms are like nicotine poisoning which includes nausea, salivation, diarrhea, disturbed hearing and vision, mental confusion and marked weakness. In theory, death could result from respiratory failure.

Environmental factors and cancer incidence and mortality in different countries, with special reference to dietary practices. 400 Incidence rates for 27 cancers in 23 countries and mortality rates for 14 cancers in 32 countries have been correlated with a wide range of dietary and other variables. Dietary variables were strongly correlated with several types of cancer, particularly meat consumption with cancer of the colon and fat consumption with cancers of the breast and corpus uteri. The data suggest a possible role for dietary factors in modifying the development of cancer at a number of other sites. The usefulness and limitations of the method are discussed.

Effect of high and low dietary protein on the dosing and postdosing periods of aflatoxin B1induced hepatic preneoplastic lesion development in the rat. 401 Aflatoxin B1- induced liver lesion development is readily modified by dietary protein intake. Earlier work had shown that lowprotein diets enhanced the acutely toxic lesion but depressed the carcinogenic lesion. This study examined the emergence of these lesions as a function of dietary protein intake, particularly with respect to whether the protein modification occurred during or after the aflatoxin B12 dosing period. High (20%) and low (5%) casein diets were fed to growing Fischer 344 rats during the dosing and postdosing periods of aflatoxin B2- induced hepatic preneoplastic lesion development. Focal areas of hepatocellular alteration were identified and quantitated by staining sections of liver for gammaglutamyl transferase (GGT). Animals fed low casein diets during the dosing period displayed a characteristic spectrum of lesions including hepatomegaly, severe bile duct proliferation, cholangiofibrosis, and a tendency for developing large remodeling GGT- positive foci. These lesions were regarded as symptomatic of acute hepatoxicity. Animals fed high- protein diets during the dosing period had small, densely stained, GGT- positive foci, with only mild bile duct proliferation and no cholangiofibrosis, hepatomegaly, or large, remodeling GGT- positive foci. During the postdosing period, protein modulation markedly influenced the total number of foci. Animals fed high casein diets during this period exhibited an approximate 6- fold increase in the number of foci, regardless of the level of protein fed during the earlier dosing period. The marked increase in foci number (as well as area of liver occupied) in high casein diet animals during the postdosing period is regarded as an increased tendency for tumor development.

Dietary protein level and aflatoxin B1- induced preneoplastic hepatic lesions in the rat. 402 Previous studies have shown that the development in rats of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)- induced gammaglutamyl transpeptidase- positive (GGT+) foci, indicators of early preneoplastic liver lesions, was markedly greater when a 20% casein diet was fed than when a 5% casein diet was fed during the postinitiation period. In the present study, the dose- response relationship between dietary protein level (dose) and emergence of AFB1- induced GGT+ foci (response) in livers of rats was determined. Male Fischer- 344 rats fed a 20% casein diet were orally administered AFB1 at a dose level of 250 micrograms/(kg X d) (10 doses over 12 d). One week after the last dose, the animals were divided into eight groups and fed isoenergetic diets containing either 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30% dietary casein for the remaining 12 wk of the study. The development of GGT+ foci, as measured by number and percent of liver volume occupied, displayed a response with three discrete phases. The lowest dietary protein levels, 4, 6, 8 and 10% casein, were associated with a minimal level of GGT+ foci development. Between 10 and 12% dietary casein, the development of GGT+ foci sharply increased, up to the 15- 30% dietary casein level. The sudden increase in the formation of GGT+ foci at 10- 12% dietary casein was just above the level of dietary casein (68%) required for maximum body weight gain. These results in this animal model suggest that protein intake in excess of that required to sustain maximum growth rate may enhance AFB1induced cancer development. Dunaif GE, Campbell TC.

Thermogenesis, lowprotein diets, and decreased development of AFB1- induced preneoplastic foci in rat liver. 403 The development of hepatocellular, putatively preneoplastic, gammaglutamyl transpeptidase positive (GGT+) foci and tumors induced by aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) has been shown to be reduced in male F344 rats fed a diet containing 6% protein (as casein). This reduction occurs despite increased energy intake, when compared with animals fed a diet containing 22% protein. Among its many effects, low protein intake is known to increase the proportion of energy intake expended in the form of heat (thermogenesis); thus, this investigation examined the association between the development of GGT+ foci and alterations in indices of thermogenesis induced by feeding varying levels of dietary protein. Five days following the completion of AFB1 dosing, animals were assigned to groups fed 4%, 8%, 12%, 16%, or 22% dietary protein for 6 weeks. Foci development (% liver volume occupied) was markedly reduced in animals fed the lowprotein diet (4%, 8%), yet calorie consumption per 100 g body wt was greater. A modest negative linear trend was observed in oxygen consumption with increasing levels of dietary protein intake. Urinary norepinephrine levels were elevated in the groups fed 4% and 8% protein; urinary dopamine and norepinephrine turnover rates in brown adipose tissue were highest in animals fed 4% protein. These results suggest that GGT+ foci development occurs when a "critical level" (approx 12%) of dietary protein intake is reached. Inhibition of foci development at lower levels of protein intake is associated with several indicators of increased thermogenesis.

Egg, red meat, and poultry intake and risk of lethal prostate cancer in the prostate specific antigen- era: incidence and survival. 404 Red and processed meat may increase risk of advanced prostate cancer. Data on postdiagnostic diet and prostate cancer are sparse, but postdiagnostic intake of poultry with skin and eggs may increase risk of disease progression. Therefore, we prospectively examined total, unprocessed, and processed red meat, poultry, and eggs in relation to risk of lethal prostate cancer (e.g. men without cancer at baseline who developed distant organ metastases or died from prostate cancer during follow- up) among 27, 607 men followed from 1994- 2008. We also performed a case- only survival analysis to examine postdiagnostic consumption of these foods and risk of lethal prostate cancer among the 3,127 men initially diagnosed with non- metastatic prostate cancer during follow- up. In the incidence analysis, we observed 199 events during 306,715 person- years. Men who consumed 2.5 or more eggs per week had an 81% increased risk of lethal prostate cancer compared to men who consumed less than 0.5 eggs per week (HR: 1.81; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.13, 2.89; p- trend: 0.01). In the case- only survival analysis, we observed 123 events during 19,354 person- years. There were suggestive, but not statistically significant, positive associations between postdiagnostic poultry (HR â&#x2030;Ľ3.5 vs. <1.5 servings per week: 1.69; 95%CI: 0.96, 2.99; ptrend: 0.07) and postdiagnostic processed red meat (HR â&#x2030;Ľ3 vs. <0.5 servings per week: 1.45; 95%CI: 0.73, 2.87; p- trend: 0.08) and risk of progression of localized prostate cancer to lethal disease. In conclusion, consumption of eggs may increase risk of developing a lethal- form of prostate cancer among healthy men. Richman EL, Kenfield SA, Stampfer MJ, Giovannucci EL, Chan JM.

Impact of consumption of vegetable, fruit, grain, and high glycemic index foods on aggressive prostate cancer risk. 405 Prostate cancer is a common but complex disease, and distinguishing modifiable risk factors such as diet for more aggressive disease is extremely important. Previous work has detected intriguing associations between vegetable, fruit, and grains and more aggressive prostate cancer, although these remain somewhat unclear. Here we further investigate such potential relationships with a casecontrol study of 982 men (470 more aggressive prostate cancer cases and 512 control subjects). Comparing the highest to lowest quartiles of intake, we found that increasing intakes of leafy vegetables were inversely associated with risk of aggressive prostate cancer [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.46, 0.96; P trend = 0.02], as was higher consumption of high carotenoid vegetables (OR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.48, 1.04; P trend = 0.04). Conversely, increased consumption of high glycemic index foods were positively associated with risk of aggressive disease (OR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.05, 2.57; P trend = 0.02). These results were driven by a number of specific foods within the food groups. Our findings support the hypothesis that diets high in vegetables and low in high glycemic index foods decrease risk of aggressive prostate cancer. Hardin J, Cheng I, Witte JS.

Low- Carbohydrate Diets and All- Cause and Cause- Specific Mortality Two Cohort Studies 406 The overall low- carbohydrate score was associated with a modest increase in overall mortality in a pooled analysis (hazard ratio [HR] comparing extreme deciles, 1.12 [95% CI, 1.01 to 1.24]; P for trend = 0.136). The animal low- carbohydrate score was associated with higher allcause mortality (pooled HR comparing extreme deciles, 1.23 [CI, 1.11 to 1.37]; P for trend = 0.051), cardiovascular mortality (corresponding HR, 1.14 [CI, 1.01 to 1.29]; P for trend = 0.029), and cancer mortality (corresponding HR, 1.28 [CI, 1.02 to 1.60]; P for trend = 0.089). In contrast, a higher vegetable low- carbohydrate score was associated with lower allcause mortality (HR, 0.80 [CI, 0.75 to 0.85]; P for trend â&#x2030;¤ 0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (HR, 0.77 [CI, 0.68 to 0.87]; P for trend < 0.001). Limitations: Diet and lifestyle characteristics were assessed with some degree of error. Sensitivity analyses indicated that results were probably not substantively affected by residual confounding or an unmeasured confounder. Participants were not a representative sample of the U.S. population. Conclusion: A low- carbohydrate diet based on animal sources was associated with higher allcause mortality in both men and women, whereas a vegetable- based low- carbohydrate diet was associated with lower allcause and cardiovascular disease mortality rates.

Pancreatic insulin secretion in rats fed a soy protein high fat diet depends on the interaction between the amino acid pattern and isoflavones. 407 Obesity is frequently associated with the consumption of high carbohydrate/fat diets leading to hyperinsulinemia. We have demonstrated that soy protein (SP) reduces hyperinsulinemia, but it is unclear by which mechanism. Thus, the purpose of the present work was to establish whether SP stimulates insulin secretion to a lower extent and/or reduces insulin resistance, and to understand its molecular mechanism of action in pancreatic islets of rats with diet- induced obesity. Long- term consumption of SP in a high fat (HF) diet significantly decreased serum glucose, free fatty acids, leptin, and the insulin:glucagon ratio compared with animals fed a casein HF diet. Hyperglycemic clamps indicated that SP stimulated insulin secretion to a lower extent despite HF consumption. Furthermore, there was lower pancreatic islet area and insulin, SREBP- 1, PPARgamma, and GLUT- 2 mRNA abundance in comparison with rats fed the casein HF diet. Euglycemic- hyperinsulinemic clamps showed that the SP diet prevented insulin resistance despite consumption of a HF diet. Incubation of pancreatic islets with isoflavones reduced insulin secretion and expression of PPARgamma. Addition of amino acids resembling the plasma concentration of rats fed casein stimulated insulin secretion; a response that was reduced by the presence of isoflavones, whereas the amino acid pattern resembling the plasma concentration of rats fed SP barely stimulated insulin release. Infusion of isoflavones during the hyperglycemic clamps did not stimulate insulin secretion. Therefore, isoflavones as well as the amino acid pattern seen after SP consumption stimulated insulin secretion to a lower extent, decreasing PPARgamma, GLUT- 2, and SREBP- 1 expression, and ameliorating hyperinsulinemia observed during obesity.

Hypocholesterolemic effect of dietary soy protein versus casein in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). 408 Ten mature female rhesus monkeys were alternately fed semipurified diets containing casein or soy protein for periods of 13 to 17 wk. Each diet was fed for two periods. When the animals were changed from the commercial diet to the semipurified diet containing soy protein, a significant elevation in serum cholesterol occurred. The serum cholesterol levels gradually increased further, when the soy protein in the diet was replaced by casein. However, when subsequently the casein in the diet was replaced by soy protein, a significant decrease in serum cholesterol levels was observed. Finally, when the animals were changed back to the casein diet, a significant increase in serum cholesterol again occurred. Changes in serum cholesterol due to modulations in the type of protein in the diet were reflected mainly by changes in low- density lipoprotein cholesterol. Thus, the results of this study clearly show that the type of protein in the diet markedly affects serum cholesterol levels not only in experimental animals such as the rabbit, as is well known, but also in the rhesus monkey, which is more akin to man.

Effects of casein versus soy protein diets on serum cholesterol and lipoproteins in young healthy volunteers. 409 The effects of casein and soy protein on serum cholesterol levels and lipoprotein composition were studied in 69 healthy volunteers (18 to 28 yr of age) under strict dietary control. Subjects were fed for 6 wk on diets containing 13% of energy as protein, 38% as fat (P/S ratio = 0.6) and about 380 mg cholesterol per day. Of the protein in the diets 65% consisted of casein or soy protein or a 2:1 mixture of casein and soy protein. After a control period of 10 days during which all the subjects received the casein- soy diet, 20 subjects continued on this diet for the next 4 wk as a baseline control, 25 subjects switched to the casein diet, and the remaining 24 subjects switched to the soy diet. Both food records and chemical analysis of double portions revealed that the diets were completely identical except for the type of protein. Average serum cholesterol levels at the end of the control period were 152 +/- 27 mg/dl (3.93 +/- 0.69 mmol/l) and 153 +/- 23 mg/dl (3.95 +/- 0.60 mmol/l) (mean +/- SD) for the casein and soy group, respectively. At the end of the test period the levels were 149 +/- 24 and 150 +/- 23 mg/dl, respectively; thus there was no significant change on either diet. On the casein diet there was no change in the low- density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration, and only a slight, nonsignificant increase in the highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol concentration. On the soy diet, however, there was a significant decline in low- density lipoprotein- cholesterol (- 6.6 mg/dl; - 0.17 mmol/l) and a significant increase in highdensity lipoprotein- cholesterol (+5.8 mg/dl; +0.15 mmol/l). The decline in low- density lipoprotein cholesterol in the soy group was significantly different from the small change in the casein group, but the difference in increase in highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol in the soy and the casein group was only weakly significant. This suggests that soy protein could have a slight beneficial effect on the distribution of cholesterol over the various lipoprotein fractions, even at constant total cholesterol concentration. van Raaij JM, Katan MB, Hautvast JG, Hermus RJ.

Soy consumption and cholesterol reduction: review of animal and human studies. 410 Animal proteins such as casein are more hypercholesterolemic than soy protein or other plant proteins when fed to rabbits in low- fat, cholesterol- free, semipurified diets. A casein- amino acid mixture produces a hypercholesterolemia similar to that of casein. This appears to be mainly due to lysine and methionine, although other essential amino acids probably contribute to the effect. Arginine appeared to counteract the hypercholesterolemic effects of other essential amino acids. Soy protein gave a lower level of serum cholesterol in rabbits than did a soy protein- amino acid mixture, suggesting the presence of factors in soy protein that counteract the effects of hypercholesterolemic amino acids. Soy protein is also less hypercholesterolemic than casein in other animal species, particularly when the diet contains cholesterol, and substitution of soy protein for animal protein in the diet reduces the concentration of serum cholesterol in humans. This effect is somewhat variable but is generally greater in hypercholesterolemic than in normocholesterolemic subjects. The differing effects of dietary proteins on serum cholesterol concentrations in humans and in rabbits are primarily due to changes in LDL cholesterol, and the hypercholesterolemia produced by dietary casein is associated with down- regulation of hepatic LDL receptors.

Consumption of fruits and vegetables in relation to the risk of developing acute coronary syndromes; the CARDIO2000 casecontrol study. 411 BACKGROUND: The relation between diet and human health has long been investigated. The aim of this work is to evaluate the association between CHD risk and the consumption of fruit and vegetable, in a large sample of cardiac patients and controls. METHODS: Stratified sampling from all Greek regions, consisted of 848 (700 males, 58 +/- 10 years old and 148 females, 65 +/- 9 years old) randomly selected patients, admitted to the cardiology clinic for a first event of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In addition we selected 1078 frequency paired, by sex- age- region, controls in the same hospitals but without any clinical suspicion of CHD. Using validated foodfrequency questionnaires we assessed total diet, including fruit and vegetable intake, on a weekly basis. Multiple logistic regression analysis estimated the relative risk of developing ACS by level of fruits and vegetables intake after taking into account the effect of several potential confounders. RESULTS: Data analysis revealed that the benefit of fruit or vegetable consumption increases proportionally by the number of servings consumed (P for trend < 0.001). After adjusting for the conventional cardiovascular risk factors, those in the upper quintile of fruit consumption (5 or more items/day) had 72% lower risk for CHD (odds ratio = 0.28, 95% CI 0.11- 0.54, P < 0.001), compared with those in the lowest quintile of intake (< 1 items/day). Similarly, consumption of vegetable more than 3 days/week was associated with 70% lower risk for CHD (odds ratio = 0.30, 95% CI 0.22- 0.40, P < 0.001), compared with those that they did not consume vegetables. Of particular interest, a 10% reduction in coronary risk was observed for every one piece of fruit consumed per day (odds ratio = 0.90, 95% CI 0.85- 0.97, P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: Consumption of fruits and vegetables seems to offer significant protection against CHD. Panagiotakos DB, Pitsavos C, Kokkinos P, Chrysohoou C, Vavuranakis M, Stefanadis C, Toutouzas P.

Dietary intake and breast density in high- risk women: a crosssectional study. 412 BACKGROUND: Women with a family history of breast cancer may be at higher risk for breast cancer, but few previous studies evaluating diet and breast cancer have focused on such women. The objective of the present study was to determine whether diet, a modifiable risk factor, is related to breast density among women at high genetic risk for breast cancer. METHODS: Women with at least one first- degree or second- degree relative with breast cancer or ovarian cancer participating in the Fox Chase Cancer Center Family Risk Assessment Program completed health history and food frequency questionnaires and received standard screening mammograms. Cranial- caudal mammographic images were classified into the four Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System categories ranging from ‘entirely fatty’ to ‘extremely dense’. Logistic regression analysis using proportional odds models for polychotomous outcomes provided estimates of odds ratios for having a higher category versus a lower category of breast density. RESULTS: Among 157 high- risk women, breast density was inversely associated with vitamin D intake (odds ratio for third tertile versus first tertile, 0.5; 95% confidence interval, 0.21.0). In contrast, intakes above the median level for protein (odds ratio, 3.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.3- 6.9) and above the median level for animal protein (odds ratio, 4.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.8- 10.3) were associated with higher breast density, but only among women whose family history did not reflect a known familial cancer syndrome or a breast cancer predisposition gene. CONCLUSION: For women with a strong family history that was not associated with known cancer syndromes, dietary factors may be associated with breast density, a strong predictor of breast cancer risk. Since women with strong family history are often very motivated to change their lifestyle habits, further studies are needed to confirm whether changes in diet will change the breast density and the subsequent onset of breast cancer in these women.

The associations of diet with serum insulinlike growth factor I and its main binding proteins in 292 women meateaters, vegetarians, and vegans. 413 The lower rates of some cancers in Asian countries than in Western countries may be partly because of diet, although the mechanisms are unknown. The aim of this crosssectional study was to determine whether a plant- based (vegan) diet is associated with a lower circulating level of insulinlike growth factor I (IGF- I) compared with a meat- eating or lacto- ovo- vegetarian diet among 292 British women, ages 20- 70 years. The mean serum IGF- I concentration was 13% lower in 92 vegan women compared with 99 meateaters and 101 vegetarians (P = 0.0006). The mean concentrations of both serum IGF- binding protein (IGFBP)- 1 and IGFBP- 2 were 20- 40% higher in vegan women compared with meateaters and vegetarians (P = 0.005 and P = 0.0008 for IGFBP- 1 and IGFBP- 2, respectively). There were no significant differences in IGFBP- 3, Cpeptide, or sex hormone- binding globulin concentrations between the diet groups. Intake of protein rich in essential amino acids was positively associated with serum IGF- I (Pearson partial correlation coefficient; r = 0.27; P < 0.0001) and explained most of the differences in IGF- I concentration between the diet groups. These data suggest that a plant- based diet is associated with lower circulating levels of total IGF- I and higher levels of IGFBP- 1 and IGFBP- 2.

Diet, obesity, and risk of fatal prostate cancer. 414 Findings described in this report are for 6,763 white male Seventh- day Adventists who completed a dietary questionnaire in 1960. Between 1960 and 1980 mortality data were collected on cohort members. Overweight men had a significantly higher risk of fatal prostate cancer than men near their desirable weight. The predicted relative risk of fatal prostate cancer was 2.5 for overweight men. Suggestive positive associations were also seen between fatal prostate cancer and the consumption of milk, cheese, eggs, and meat. There was an orderly dose- response between each of the four animal products and risk. The predicted relative risk of fatal prostate cancer was 3.6 for those who heavily consumed all four animal products. The results of this study and others suggest that animal product consumption and obesity may be risk factors for fatal prostate cancer. Snowdon DA, Phillips RL, Choi W.

Associations between diet and cancer, ischemic heart disease, and allcause mortality in nonHispanic white California Seventh- day Adventists. 415 Results associating diet with chronic disease in a cohort of 34192 California Seventh- day Adventists are summarized. Most Seventh- day Adventists do not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, and there is a wide range of dietary exposures within the population. About 50% of those studied ate meat products <1 time/wk or not at all, and vegetarians consumed more tomatoes, legumes, nuts, and fruit, but less coffee, doughnuts, and eggs than did nonvegetarians. Multivariate analyses showed significant associations between beef consumption and fatal ischemic heart disease (IHD) in men [relative risk (RR) = 2.31 for subjects who ate beef > or =3 times/wk compared with vegetarians], significant protective associations between nut consumption and fatal and nonfatal IHD in both sexes (RR approximately 0.5 for subjects who ate nuts > or =5 times/wk compared with those who ate nuts <1 time/wk), and reduced risk of IHD in subjects preferring whole- grain to white bread. The lifetime risk of IHD was reduced by approximately 31% in those who consumed nuts frequently and by 37% in male vegetarians compared with nonvegetarians. Cancers of the colon and prostate were significantly more likely in nonvegetarians (RR of 1.88 and 1.54, respectively), and frequent beef consumers also had higher risk of bladder cancer. Intake of legumes was negatively associated with risk of colon cancer in nonvegetarians and risk of pancreatic cancer. Higher consumption of all fruit or dried fruit was associated with lower risks of lung, prostate, and pancreatic cancers. Cross- sectional data suggest vegetarian Seventh- day Adventists have lower risks of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and arthritis than nonvegetarians. Thus, among Seventh- day Adventists, vegetarians are healthier than nonvegetarians but this cannot be ascribed only to the absence of meat. Fraser GE.

Effects of low animal protein or high- fiber diets on urine composition in calcium nephrolithiasis. 416 BACKGROUND: The purpose of this article is to evaluate the impact of low protein and high fiber intakes on risk factors of stone recurrence in idiopathic calcium stone formers (ICSFs). METHODS: Ninety- six ICSFs were randomly assigned a low animal protein diet (< 10% of total energy), a high- fiber diet (> 25 g/day), or a usual diet (control group); all patients were recommended to increase their fluid intake. Their daily urine compositions were analyzed at baseline and at four months. Compliance with dietary recommendations was checked by validated food frequency questionnaires. Compliance with total and animal protein intakes was assessed by 24- hour urea and sulfate outputs, respectively. The nutritional intervention (oral instructions, written leaflet, phoning) and food assessment were carried out by a research dietitian. RESULTS: At baseline, diets and the daily urine composition did not differ between the three groups. At four months, while diets differed significantly, the 24- hour output of calcium and oxalate did not differ significantly within and between groups after adjustment for potential confounders (age, sex, and personal and family history of calcium stones) and baseline values. However, as many as 12 out of 31 ICSFs (95% CI, 22 to 58%) assigned to a low animal protein diet achieved a reduction in the urine urea excretion rate of more than 50 mmol/day and also exhibited a significant decrease in urinary calcium excretion that averaged 1.8 mmol/day. A significant correlation between urea and calcium outputs was observed only among patients with hypercalciuria. CONCLUSIONS: These results show that only ICSFs who markedly decrease their animal protein intake, especially those with hypercalciuria, can expect to benefit from dietary recommendations.

Beneficial effects of a soybased dietary supplement on lipid levels and cardiovascular risk markers in type 2 diabetic subjects. 417 OBJECTIVE: Consumption of soy protein has recently been shown to improve the blood lipid levels in nondiabetic subjects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if a dietary supplement of soy protein, isoflavones, and cotyledon fiber (Abalon) affects cardiovascular risk markers, blood glucose, and insulin levels in type 2 diabetic subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Twenty type 2 diabetic subjects participated in a crossover trial. They were randomized to doubleblind supplementation for 6 weeks with Abalon (soy protein [50 g/day] with high levels of isoflavones [minimum 165 mg/day] and cotyledon fiber [20 g/day]) or placebo (casein [50 g/day] and cellulose [20 g/day]), separated by a 3- week washout period. RESULTS: The results are expressed as means +/- SD. The percentage mean treatment difference between Abalon and placebo demonstrated significantly lower mean values after Abalon for LDL cholesterol (10 +/- 15%, P < 0.05), LDL/UHDL ratio (12 +/- 18%, P < 0.05), apolipoprotein (apo) B100 (30 +/- 38%, P < 0.01), triglycerides (22 +/- 10%, P < 0.05), and homocysteine (14 +/- 21%, P < 0.01), whereas the total cholesterol value tended to be less significant but still lower (8 +/- 15%, P < 0.08). No change occurred in HDL cholesterol, apo B100/apo A1 ratio, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, factor VIIc, von Willebrand factor, fibrinogen, lipoprotein(a), glucose, HbA1c, or 24- h blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate beneficial effects of dietary supplementation with Abalon on cardiovascular risk markers in type 2 diabetic subjects. This improvement is seen even in individuals with near- normal lipid values. Hermansen K, SĂ¸ndergaard M, HĂ¸ie L, Carstensen M, Brock B.

A comparison of the effects of 2 doses of soy protein or casein on serum lipids, serum lipoproteins, and plasma total homocysteine in hypercholesterolemic subjects. 418

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that soy protein reduces some atherogenic lipid and lipoprotein concentrations, although lipoprotein(a) concentrations may be increased. The dose response of soy protein has not been established; neither has its effect on plasma total homocysteine. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to evaluate the effect of 2 doses of soy protein on lipid, lipoprotein, and homocysteine concentrations. DESIGN: Four to 24 wk after being instructed to consume a lipidlowering diet, 130 men and women with LDL- cholesterol concentrations > or = 4 mmol/L were studied during a parallel group trial in which 4 interventions were assigned randomly. Thirty grams isolated soy protein (ISP) and 10 g cotyledon fiber or 50 g ISP and 16.6 g cotyledon fiber or equivalent doses of casein and cellulose were consumed daily as a beverage for 16 wk. RESULTS: When the 2 groups who consumed ISP were compared with the 2 groups who consumed casein, the differences in the net changes from baseline to week 16 in the concentrations of LDL cholesterol and plasma total homocysteine were - 0.26 mmol/L (95% CI: - 0.43, - 0.09 mmol/L; P = 0.01) and - 0.8 micromol/L (- 1.4, - 0.2 micromol/L; P = 0.005), respectively. The effect of the ISP dose was not significant. There were no significant differences between the 2 ISP and the 2 casein groups in changes in lipoprotein(a), HDL- cholesterol, or triacylglycerol concentrations. CONCLUSIONS: Adding 30- 50 g soy protein/d to a lipidlowering diet significantly reduced LDL- cholesterol concentrations without increasing lipoprotein(a) concentrations. Plasma total homocysteine concentrations also decreased, suggesting a novel, possibly antiatherosclerotic effect. Tonstad S, Smerud K, HĂ¸ie L.

Soy in hypercholesterolaemia: a doubleblind, placebocontrolled trial. 419 OBJECTIVE: To study whether Abacor, a product based on isolated soy protein with high and standardised levels of isoflavones and cotyledon soy fibres, was more effective in lowering total and LDL cholesterol than placebo. DESIGN: Randomised, placebocontrolled, doubleblind, parallel group, single centre study. SETTING: Primary care in Joensuu, North Karelia, Finland. SUBJECTS: Subjects were screened from the patient database of the health centre; 30 were randomised to the Abacor group and 30 subjects to placebo. Eight subjects were withdrawn, six from the active group, two from the placebo group. INTERVENTION: The preparations were given as two daily liquid supplements in addition to the subjectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; regular diets for 6 weeks. RESULTS: Abacor showed a statistically significant lipidlowering effect as compared to placebo, although an unexpected reduction was seen in the placebo group. The estimated difference between active treatment and placebo was 0.25 mmol/l (95% CI 0.01, 0.50; P=0.049) for total cholesterol, corresponding to reductions of 8.3 and 5.1%, respectively. The difference in reduction of LDL- cholesterol was 0.27 mmol/l (95% CI 0.06, 0.49; P=0.014) and corresponded to a reduction of 13.2% in the active treatment group, and 8.0% in the placebo group. Abacor showed a rapid onset of effect, as compared with placebo. During a washout period of 4 weeks after treatment, the subjects returned to pretreatment cholesterol levels. CONCLUSION: Added to a regular diet, Abacor significantly reduced LDL- cholesterol and total cholesterol. These beneficial effects occurred within 6 weeks of treatment.

Meta- analysis of the effects of soy protein intake on serum lipids. 420 BACKGROUND. In laboratory animals, the consumption of soy protein, rather than animal protein, decreases serum cholesterol concentrations, but studies in humans have been inconclusive. In this meta- analysis of 38 controlled clinical trials, we examined the relation between soy protein consumption and serum lipid concentrations in humans. METHODS. We used a random- effects model to quantify the average effects of soy protein intake on serum lipids in the studies we examined and used hierarchical mixed- effects regression models to predict variation as a function of the characteristics of the studies. RESULTS. In most of the studies, the intake of energy, fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol was similar when the subjects ingested control and soy- containing diets; soy protein intake averaged 47 g per day. Ingestion of soy protein was associated with the following net changes in serum lipid concentrations from the concentrations reached with the control diet: total cholesterol, a decrease of 23.2 mg per deciliter (0.60 mmol per liter); 95 percent confidence interval, 13.5 to 32.9 mg per deciliter [0.35 to 0.85 mmol per liter]), or 9.3 percent; low- density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, a decrease of 21.7 mg per deciliter (0.56 mmol per liter); 95 percent confidence interval, 11.2 to 31.7 mg per deciliter [0.30 to 0.82 mmol per liter]), or 12.9 percent; and triglycerides, a decrease of 13.3 mg per deciliter (0.15 mmol per liter; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.3 to 25.7 mg per deciliter [0.003 to 0.29 mmol per liter]), or 10.5 percent. The changes in serum cholesterol and LDL cholesterol concentrations were directly related to the initial serum cholesterol concentration (P < 0.001). The ingestion of soy protein was associated with a nonsignificant 2.4 percent increase in serum concentrations of highdensity lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS. In this meta- analysis we found that the consumption of soy protein rather than animal protein significantly decreased serum concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides without significantly affecting serum HDL cholesterol concentrations.

Hair protein and amino acid 13C and 15N abundances take more than 4 weeks to clearly prove influences of animal protein intake in young women with a habitual daily protein consumption of more than 1 g per kg body weight. 421 A high protein or meat intake might be a risk factor for metabolic disorders. Stable isotopic abundances (SIA) of hair can be used as biomarkers for animal protein intake due to characteristic isotopic patterns of food proteins. We investigated if an additional meat intake (M, 200 g pork fillet/day) or an omission of meat and meat products (NOM) can influence the natural (15)N and (13)C SIA within 4 weeks in hair and plasma of young women. The daily protein intake (means +/SD) was 1.40 +/- 0.29, 2.25 +/- 0.35, and 1.15 +/- 0.26 g/kg at baseline, during M, and during NOM, respectively. At baseline the animal protein intake correlated with bulk SIA of hair ((15)N: R(2) = 0.416; (13)C: R(2) = 0.664; n = 14). However, isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) analyses have not shown that hair and plasma SIA were changed significantly after M or NOM. Possible reasons were discussed. Urinary SIA were significantly lower after M than after NOM ((15)N: p = 0.039; (13)C: p = 0.006) and close to those of pork fillet. Characteristic patterns of SIA were measured in individual amino acids (AA) by gas chromatography/combustion isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS). The results confirmed considerable differences in SIA between AA (delta(15)N, up to 22 per thousand; delta(13)C, up to 31 per thousand). Plots of (15)N versus (13)C abundances in hair revealed characteristic differences between indispensable and dispensable AA. The intervention- dependent changes of AA- specific SIA were not as clear as expected. Although the AA- specific SIA may reveal more detailed characteristics of physiological conditions, further methodological research is required. We suggest that the SIA of leucine can be potential markers of protein intake. The reliability of SIA as biomarkers of protein intake still have to be tested in longer lasting intervention studies in humans. The results may have implications in the assessment for possible benefits and risks of protein consumption. 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The adoption of Mediterranean diet attenuates the development of acute coronary syndromes in people with the metabolic syndrome. 422 OBJECTIVES: In this work we investigated the effect of the consumption of the Mediterranean diet on coronary risk, in subjects with the metabolic syndrome. METHODS: During 2000- 2002, we randomly selected, from all Greek regions, 848 hospitalised patients (695 males, 58 +/- 10 & 153 females, 65 +/- 9 years old) with a first event of acute coronary syndrome and 1078 frequency matched, by sex, age, region controls, without any suspicious for cardiovascular disease. Nutritional habits were evaluated through a validated questionnaire, while the metabolic syndrome was defined according to the NCEP ATP III criteria. Mediterranean diet was defined according to the guidelines of the Division of Nutrition/Epidemiology, of Athens Medical School. RESULTS: Of the 1926 participants, 307 (36.2%) of the patients and 198 (18.4%) of the controls (P < 0.001) met the ATP III criteria. This was related with 2fold adjusted coronary risk (odds ratio = 2.35, 95% 1.87- 2.84) in subjects with the metabolic syndrome as compared with the rest of them. No differences were observed concerning the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome and sex of subjects, after adjustment for group of study (P > 0.1). Eighty (26%) of the patients and 70 (35%) of the controls (P < 0.01) with the metabolic syndrome were "closer" to the Mediterranean diet. Multivariate analysis revealed that the adoption of this diet is associated with a 35% (odds ratio = 0.65, 95% 0.44- 0.95) reduction of the coronary risk in subjects with the metabolic syndrome, after adjusting for age, sex, educational and financial level and the conventional cardiovascular risk factors. CONCLUSION: Consequently, the adoption of Mediterranean diet seems to attenuate the coronary risk in subjects with the metabolic syndrome.

Diet- Dependent Net Acid Load and Risk of Incident Hypertension in United States Women. 423 Animal and human studies suggest a potential link between acid- base status and blood pressure. Contemporary Western diets yield a daily systemic acid load of varying amounts, yet the association with hypertension has never been explored. We prospectively examined the association between the dietdependent net acid load (also known as the estimated net endogenous acid production) and the risk of incident hypertension among 87 293 women without a history of hypertension in the Nursesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Health Study II. We also used the ratio of animal protein intake to potassium intake as an alternative evaluation of dietdependent net acid load. We identified 15 385 incident cases of hypertension during 995 239 person- years of follow- up. After adjusting for potential confounders, women in the top decile of estimated dietdependent net acid load had an increased risk of hypertension (relative risk: 1.14; 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.24; P for trend=0.01) compared with women in the bottom decile. To test whether the association between estimated dietdependent net acid load and hypertension is independent of its individual components, an additional adjustment for intakes of protein and potassium was made and resulted in a relative risk of 1.23 (95% CI: 1.08 to 1.41; P for trend=0.003) for the top decile of estimated dietdependent net acid load. Results of the ratio of animal protein intake to potassium intake were similar with those of estimated diet- depend net acid load. In conclusion, a high dietdependent net acid load is independently associated with a higher risk of incident hypertension. Zhang L, Curhan GC, Forman JP.

Fruit and vegetable consumption and stroke: meta- analysis of cohort studies. 424 BACKGROUND: Increased consumption of fruit and vegetables has been shown to be associated with a reduced risk of stroke in most epidemiological studies, although the extent of the association is uncertain. We quantitatively assessed the relation between fruit and vegetable intake and incidence of stroke in a meta- analysis of cohort studies. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and bibliographies of retrieved articles. Studies were included if they reported relative risks and corresponding 95% CIs of stroke with respect to frequency of fruit and vegetable intake. FINDINGS: Eight studies, consisting of nine independent cohorts, met the inclusion criteria. These groups included 257,551 individuals (4917 stroke events) with an average follow- up of 13 years. Compared with individuals who had less than three servings of fruit and vegetables per day, the pooled relative risk of stroke was 0.89 (95% CI 0.83- 0.97) for those with three to five servings per day, and 0.74 (0.69- 0.79) for those with more than five servings per day. Subgroup analyses showed that fruit and vegetables had a significant protective effect on both ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke. INTERPRETATION: Increased fruit and vegetable intake in the range commonly consumed is associated with a reduced risk of stroke. Our results provide strong support for the recommendations to consume more than five servings of fruit and vegetables per day, whicch is likely to cause a major reduction in strokes.

The role of Mediterranean diet in the epidemiology of metabolic syndrome; converting epidemiology to clinical practice. 425 Metabolic syndrome is a collection of associated conditions such as dyslipidemia, high blood pressure, impaired glucose tolerance and tendency to develop fat around the abdomen. It is now well known that individuals with the metabolic syndrome are at high risk for atherosclerosis and, especially, coronary heart disease. However, it has been suggested that people with the metabolic syndrome may benefit from aggressive lifestyle modification, through diet and exercise. In this review we summarize scientific evidence regarding the effect of Mediterranean diet on the development of metabolic syndrome. Panagiotakos DB, Polychronopoulos E.

Prospective study on nutrition transition in China. 426 The aim of the prospective study reported here was to examine the effects of social and economic transformation on dietary patterns and nutritional status in China. The study began in 1989 and continued with follow- ups in 1991, 1993, 1997, 2000, and 2004. A total of 5000 subjects aged 18- 45 years from 4280 households in nine provinces were included. Weighed records and three consecutive 24- h recalls were used. Over the study period, average consumption of all animal foods except milk increased, while cereal intake decreased. The proportion of animal protein and fat as a percentage of energy also increased. However, vitamin A and calcium intake did not increase and remained low. Child height and weight increased while undernutrition decreased and overweight increased. The results indicate that rapid changes in dietary pattern are associated with economic reforms in China.

Veganism, bone mineral density, and body composition: a study in Buddhist nuns. 427 INTRODUCTION: Whether a lifelong vegetarian diet has any negative effect on bone health is a contentious issue. We undertook this study to examine the association between lifelong vegetarian diet and bone mineral density and body composition in a group of postmenopausal women. METHODS: One hundred and five Mahayana Buddhist nuns and 105 omnivorous women (average age = 62, range = 50- 85) were randomly sampled from monasteries in Ho Chi Minh City and invited to participate in the study. By religious rule, the nuns do not eat meat or seafood (i.e., vegans). Bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (LS), femoral neck (FN), and whole body (WB) was measured by DXA (Hologic QDR 4500). Lean mass, fat mass, and percent fat mass were also obtained from the DXA whole body scan. Dietary calcium and protein intakes were estimated from a validated food frequency questionnaire. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between vegans and omnivores in LSBMD (0.74 +/- 0.14 vs. 0.77 +/- 0.14 g/cm(2); mean +/- SD; P = 0.18), FNBMD (0.62 +/- 0.11 vs. 0.63 +/- 0.11 g/cm(2); P = 0.35), WBBMD (0.88 +/- 0.11 vs. 0.90 +/- 0.12 g/cm(2); P = 0.31), lean mass (32 +/- 5 vs. 33 +/- 4 kg; P = 0.47), and fat mass (19 +/- 5 vs. 19 +/- 5 kg; P = 0.77) either before or after adjusting for age. The prevalence of osteoporosis (T scores </= - 2.5) at the femoral neck in vegans and omnivores was 17.1% and 14.3% (P = 0.57), respectively. The median intake of dietary calcium was lower in vegans compared to omnivores (330 +/- 205 vs. 682 +/- 417 mg/day, P < 0.001); however, there was no significant correlation between dietary calcium and BMD. Further analysis suggested that whole body BMD, but not lumbar spine or femoral neck BMD, was positively correlated with the ratio of animal protein to vegetable protein. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that, although vegans have much lower intakes of dietary calcium and protein than omnivores, veganism does not have adverse effect on bone mineral density and does not alter body composition.

Worldwide incidence of hip fracture in elderly women: relation to consumption of animal and vegetable foods. 428 BACKGROUND: Hip fracture, a major health problem in elderly persons, varies in incidence among the populations of different countries and is directly related to animal protein intake, a finding that suggests that bone integrity is compromised by endogenous acid production consequent to the metabolism of animal proteins. If that is so, vegetable foods might provide a countervailing effect, because they are a rich source of base (bicarbonate) in the form of metabolizable organic anions, which can neutralize protein- derived acid and supply substrate (carbonate) for bone formation. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; METHODS: We analyzed reported hip fracture incidence (HFI) data among countries (N = 33) in women aged 50 years and older, in relation to corresponding country- specific data on per capita consumption of vegetable and animal foods as reported by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. RESULTS: HFI varied directly with total (r = +.67, p < .001) and animal (r = +.82, p < .001) protein intake and inversely with vegetable protein intake (r = .37, p < .04). The countries in the lowest tertile of HFI (n = 11) had the lowest animal protein consumption, and invariably, vegetable protein (VP) consumption exceeded the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corresponding intake of animal protein (AP): VP/AP > 1.0. By contrast, among the countries in the highest tertile of HFI, animal protein intake exceeded vegetable protein intake in nearly every case (10 of 11 countries). Among all countries, HFI correlated inversely and exponentially with the ratio of vegetable/animal protein intake (r = - .84, p < .001) and accounted for 70% of the total variation in HFI. Adjusted for total protein intake, vegetable food consumption was an independent negative predictor of HFI. All findings were similar for the subset of 23 countries whose populations are predominantly Caucasian. CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that the critical determinant of hip fracture risk in relation to the acid- base effects of diet is the net load of acid in the diet, when the intake of both acid and base precursors is considered. Moderation of animal food consumption and an increased ratio of vegetable/animal food consumption may confer a protective effect.

Diet, evolution and agingâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;the pathophysiologic effects of the post- agricultural inversion of the potassium- to- sodium and base- to- chloride ratios in the human diet.429 Theoretically, we humans should be better adapted physiologically to the diet our ancestors were exposed to during millions of years of hominid evolution than to the diet we have been eating since the agricultural revolution a mere 10,000 years ago, and since industrialization only 200 years ago. Among the many health problems resulting from this mismatch between our genetically determined nutritional requirements and our current diet, some might be a consequence in part of the deficiency of potassium alkali salts (K- base), which are amply present in the plant foods that our ancestors ate in abundance, and the exchange of those salts for sodium chloride (NaCl), which has been incorporated copiously into the contemporary diet, which at the same time is meager in Kbase- rich plant foods. Deficiency of K- base in the diet increases the net systemic acid load imposed by the diet. We know that clinically- recognized chronic metabolic acidosis has deleterious effects on the body, including growth retardation in children, decreased muscle and bone mass in adults, and kidney stone formation, and that correction of acidosis can ameliorate those conditions. Is it possible that a lifetime of eating diets that deliver evolutionarily superphysiologic loads of acid to the body contribute to the decrease in bone and muscle mass, and growth hormone secretion, which occur normally with age? That is, are contemporary humans suffering from the consequences of chronic, diet- induced low- grade systemic metabolic acidosis? Our group has shown that contemporary net acid- producing diets do indeed characteristically produce a low- grade systemic metabolic acidosis in otherwise healthy adult subjects, and that the degree of acidosis increases with age, in relation to the normally occurring age- related decline in renal functional capacity. We also found that neutralization of the diet net acid load with dietary supplements of potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) improved calcium and phosphorus balances, reduced bone resorption rates, improved nitrogen balance, and mitigated the normally occurring age- related decline in growth hormone secretionâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;all without restricting dietary NaCl. Moreover, we found that co- administration of an alkalinizing salt of potassium (potassium citrate) with NaCl prevented NaCl from increasing urinary calcium excretion and bone resorption, as occurred with NaCl administration alone. Earlier studies estimated dietary acid load from the amount of animal protein in the diet, inasmuch as protein metabolism yields sulfuric acid as an end- product. In cross- cultural epidemiologic studies, Abelow found that hip fracture incidence in older women correlated with animal protein intake, and 235

they suggested a causal relation to the acid load from protein. Those studies did not consider the effect of potential sources of base in the diet. We considered that estimating the net acid load of the diet (i. e., acid minus base) would require considering also the intake of plant foods, many of which are rich sources of K- base, or more precisely base precursors, substances like organic anions that the body metabolizes to bicarbonate. In following up the findings of Abelow et al., we found that plant food intake tended to be protective against hip fracture, and that hip fracture incidence among countries correlated inversely with the ratio of plant- to- animal food intake. These findings were confirmed in a more homogeneous population of white elderly women residents of the U.S. These findings support affirmative answers to the questions we asked above. Can we provide dietary guidelines for controlling dietary net acid loads to minimize or eliminate diet- induced and ageamplified chronic low- grade metabolic acidosis and its pathophysiological sequelae. We discuss the use of algorithms to predict the diet net acid and provide nutritionists and clinicians with relatively simple and reliable methods for determining and controlling the net acid load of the diet. A more difficult question is what level of acidosis is acceptable. We argue that any level of acidosis may be unacceptable from an evolutionarily perspective, and indeed, that a low- grade metabolic alkalosis may be the optimal acid- base state for humans.

Intake of fruit and vegetables: implications for bone health. 430 ‘These famous words by Mencken in the early 20th century about the meaning of life and death, may also apply to the struggle of the healthy skeleton against the deleterious effects of retained acid!’ (Kraut & Coburn, 1994). The health- related benefit of a high consumption of fruit and vegetables and the influence of this food group on a variety of diseases has been gaining increasing prominence in the literature over a number of years. Of considerable interest to the osteoporosis field is the role that bone plays in acid- base balance. Natural, pathological and experimental states of acid loading and acidosis have been associated with hypercalciuria and negative Ca balance, and more recently the detrimental effects of ‘acid’ from the diet on bone mineral have been demonstrated. Suprisingly, consideration of the skeleton as a source of ‘buffer’ contributing to both the preservation of the body’s pH and defence of the system against acid- base disorders has been ongoing for over three decades. However, it is only more recently that the possibility of a positive link between a high consumption of fruit and vegetables and indices of bone health has been more fully explored. A number of population- based studies published in the last decade have demonstrated a beneficial effect of fruit and vegetable and K intake on axial and peripheral bone mass and bone metabolism in men and women across the age- ranges. Further support for a positive link between fruit and vegetable intake and bone health can be found in the results of the Dietary Approaches to Stopping Hypertension (DASH) and DASH- Sodium intervention trials. There is now an urgent requirement for the implementation of: (1) fruit and vegetable and alkali administration- bone health intervention trials, including fracture risk as an end point; (2) re- analysis of existing dietary- bone mass and metabolism datasets to look specifically at the impact of dietary ‘acidity’ on the skeleton.

The acid- base hypothesis: diet and bone in the Framingham Osteoporosis Study. 431 BACKGROUND: There continues to be considerable debate about the role of acid vs. basic components of the diet on the longterm status of bone mineral density. AIM: In a set of two analyses, we examined the effect of components in the diet thought to have basic effects (magnesium, potassium, fruit, vegetables) and acid effects (protein) on bone mineral density in an elderly cohort. METHODS: Bone mineral density of participants in the Framingham Osteoporosis Study was measured at three hip sites and one forearm site at two points in time, four years apart. At the time of baseline measurement, participants ranged in age from 69- 97 years. Dietary intake was assessed at baseline by food frequency questionnaire. RESULTS: As hypothesized, magnesium, potassium, fruit and vegetable intakes were significantly associated with bone mineral density at baseline and among men, with lower bone loss over four years. In contrast to the hypothesis, higher rather than lower protein intakes were associated with lower bone loss. CONCLUSION: Together these results support the role of base forming foods and nutrients in bone maintenance. The role of protein appears to be complex and is probably dependent on the presence of other nutrients available in a mixed diet. A balanced diet with ample fruit and vegetables and adequate protein appears to be important to bone mineral density. Tucker KL, Hannan MT, Kiel DP.

Cross- cultural association between dietary animal protein and hip fracture: a hypothesis. 432 Age- adjusted female hip fracture incidence has been noted to be higher in industrialized countries than in nonindustrialized countries. A possible explanation that has received little attention is that elevated metabolic acid production associated with a high animal protein diet might lead to chronic bone buffering and bone dissolution. In an attempt to examine this hypothesis, cross- cultural variations in animal protein consumption and hip fracture incidence were examined. When female fracture rates derived from 34 published studies in 16 countries were regressed against estimates of dietary animal protein, a strong, positive association was found. This association could not plausibly be explained by either dietary dietary calcium or total caloric intake. Recent studies suggest that the animal protein- hip fracture association could have a biologically tenable basis. We conclude that further study of the metabolic acid- osteoporosis hypothesis is warranted.

Onion and a mixture of vegetables, salads, and herbs affect bone resorption in the rat by a mechanism independent of their base excess. 433 Prevention of low bone mass is important to reduce the incidence of osteoporotic fractures. In man, the consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with greater bone mineral density (BMD), an effect that is claimed to be caused by their base excess buffering metabolic acid, thought to dissolve bone. We showed previously that in the rat the consumption of several vegetables, salads, and herbs inhibits bone resorption and that onion increases bone mass. In this study we show that, although the intake of onion is associated with a decrease in urinary noncarbonic acid excretion and a concomitant inhibition of bone resorption of similar magnitude, the two findings are not causally related. Onion retains its bone resorption inhibitory activity in the rat even when added to a vegetarian diet with typical base excess. Onion and a mixture of vegetables, salads, and herbs retain their inhibitory activity even when metabolic acid is buffered with potassium citrate. In addition, neither the pH nor the potassium content of individual ashed vegetables, salads, and herbs correlates with inhibition of bone resorption. The effect of vegetables, salads, and herbs, which inhibit bone resorption in the rat, therefore is not mediated by their base excess but possibly by a pharmacologically active compound(s).

Dietary protein and bone health. 434 The effects of dietary protein on bone health are paradoxical and need to be considered in context of the age, health status and usual diet of the population. Over the last 80 years numerous studies have demonstrated that a high protein intake increases urinary Ca excretion and that on average 1 mg Ca is lost in urine for every 1 g rise in dietary protein. This relationship is primarily attributable to metabolism of S amino acids present in animal and some vegetable proteins, resulting in a greater acid load and buffering response by the skeleton. However, many of these early studies that demonstrated the calciuric effects of protein were limited by low subject numbers, methodological errors and the use of high doses of purified forms of protein. Furthermore, the cross- cultural and population studies that showed a positive association between animal- protein intake and hip fracture risk did not consider other lifestyle or dietary factors that may protect or increase the risk of fracture. The effects of protein on bone appear to be biphasic and may also depend on intake of Ca- and alkali- rich foods, such as fruit and vegetables. At low protein intakes insulinlike growth factor production is reduced, which in turn has a negative effect on Ca and phosphate metabolism, bone formation and muscle cell synthesis. Although growth and skeletal development is impaired at very low protein intakes, it is not known whether variations in protein quality affect the achievement of optimal peak bone mass in adolescents and young adults. Prospective studies in the elderly in the USA have shown that the greatest bone losses occur in elderly men and women with an average protein intake of 16- 50 g/d. Although a low protein intake may be indicative of a generally poorer diet and state of health, there is a need to evaluate whether there is a lower threshold for protein intake in the elderly in Europe that may result in increased bone loss and risk of osteoporotic fracture.

Protein consumption and bone fractures in women. 435 Dietary protein increases urinary calcium losses and has been associated with higher rates of hip fracture in cross- cultural studies. However, the relation between protein and risk of osteoporotic bone fractures among individuals has not been examined in detail. In this prospective study, usual dietary intake was measured in 1980 in a cohort of 85,900 women, aged 35- 59 years, who were participants in the Nursesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Health Study. A mailed food frequency questionnaire was used and incident hip (n = 234) and distal forearm (n = 1,628) fractures were identified by selfreport during the following 12 years. Information on other factors related to osteoporosis, including obesity, use of postmenopausal estrogen, smoking, and physical activity, was collected on biennial questionnaires. Dietary measures were updated in 1984 and 1986. Protein was associated with an increased risk of forearm fracture (relative risk (RR) = 1.22, 95% confidence interval (Cl) 1.041.43, p for trend = 0.01) for women who consumed more than 95 g per day compared with those who consumed less than 68 g per day. A similar increase in risk was observed for animal protein, but no association was found for consumption of vegetable protein. Women who consumed five or more servings of red meat per week also had a significantly increased risk of forearm fracture (RR = 1.23, 95% Cl 1.01- 1.50) compared with women who ate red meat less than once per week. Recall of teenage diet did not reveal any increased risk of forearm fracture for women with higher consumption of animal protein or red meat during this earlier period of life. No association was observed between adult protein intake and the incidence of hip fractures, though power to assess this association was low. Feskanich D, Willett WC, Stampfer MJ, Colditz GA.

Bone mineral mass in adult lacto- ovo- vegetarian and omnivorous males. 436 Past studies indicate postmenopausal women who eat meat may experience greater bone mineral loss than lacto- ovo- vegetarian women. The present study extends those findings by comparing bone mineral in adult lacto- ovo- vegetarian and omnivorous males. Bone mineral mass was determined by direct photon absorptiometry in 320 lacto- ovo- vegetarian and 320 omnivorous males 20 to 79 yr old. Lacto- ovo- vegetarians were Seventh- day Adventists committed to their diet for at least 20 yr. Measurements were made at a cortical site along the radius. No statistical differences were identified between bone mineral mass in the lacto- ovo- vegetarian and omnivorous males in any decade examined. When contrasted against significant differences between bone mineral mass in postmenopausal omnivores and lacto- ovo- vegetarians, the data presented here may be interpreted as indicating that some factor associated with meat consumption is increasing bone mineral losses in postmenopausal females while having no observable effect in males.

Bone mineral content of North Alaskan Eskimos. 437 ABSTRACT Direct photon absorptiometry was used to measure the bone mineral content of forearm bones in Eskimo natives of the north coast of Alaska. The sample consisted of 217 children, 89 adults, and 107 elderly (over 50 years). Eskimo children had a lower bone mineral content than United States whites by 5 to 10% but this was consistent with their smaller body and bone size. Young Eskimo adults (20 to 39 years) of both sexes were similar to whites, but after age 40 the Eskimos of both sexes had a deficit of from 10 to 15% relative to white standards. Aging bone loss, which occurs in many populations, has an earlier onset and greater intensity in the Eskimos. Nutritional factors of high protein, high nitrogen, high phosphorus, and low calcium intakes may be implicated. Mazess RB, Mather W. Am J Clin Nutr. 1974 Sep;27(9):916- 25.

Excess Dietary Protein Can Adversely Affect Bone 438 ABSTRACT The average American diet, which is high in protein and low in fruits and vegetables, generates a large amount of acid, mainly as sulfates and phosphates. The kidneys respond to this dietary acid challenge with net acid excretion, as well as ammonium and titratable acid excretion. Concurrently, the skeleton supplies buffer by active resorption of bone. Indeed, calciuria is directly related to net acid excretion. Different food proteins differ greatly in their potential acid load, and therefore in their acidogenic effect. A diet high in acid- ash proteins causes excessive calcium loss because of its acidogenic content. The addition of exogenous buffers, as chemical salts or as fruits and vegetables, to a high protein diet results in a less acid urine, a reduction in net acid excretion, reduced ammonium and titratable acid excretion, and decreased calciuria. Bone resorption may be halted, and bone accretion may actually occur. Alkali buffers, whether chemical salts or dietary fruits and vegetables high in potassium, reverse acid- induced obligatory urinary calcium loss. We conclude that excessive dietary protein from foods with high potential renal acid load adversely affects bone, unless buffered by the consumption of alkali- rich foods or supplements.

It is a real safety issue particularly to people in Central America, Africa, and northern China who rely on maize for their staple food.

Study: Windels P, Taverniers I, Depicker A, Van Bockstaele E, De Loose M (2001) Characterisation of the Roundup Ready soybean insert Eur Food Res Technol 213:107–112. One of the concerns about genetically modified crops is that the DNA at the site of transgene insertion may be rearranged. This is a paper that addresses transgene structure near the site of DNA insertion. It is worth noting that is natural mutations caused by mobile gene insertion is cause mutations in field crops such as soybean, and that mutations generated by ionising radiation cause dramatic changes in chromosome structure similar to the ones assessed here. These latter processes are not subject to the same vigourous analysis as transgenic crops. Further study itself provides an example of the greater scrutiny given to genetically engineered crops than conventional varieties, meaning that they have a greater standard of safety assurance. © All Rights Reserved. 162.

Mark McAfee is internationally recognized as an expert in raw milk safety and production. In 2011, Mark founded the Raw Milk Institute (RAWMI). This start- up non- profit is dedicated to the establishment of standards for raw

270

milk and the education of farmers and consumers from all over the world. He has been an expert witness in raw milk legislative and judicial proceedings across America. Mark pioneered the first "dietary supplements" made from fresh raw colostrum, and secured their retail certification from the FDA and DHS. Along with internationally respected doctors and researchers, Mark codeveloped RAMP, the first ever food safety "Risk Analysis Management Program" program for raw milk. Mark is the CEO and founder of Organic Pastures Dairy Company near Fresno, CA, where the company produces and serves 50,000 consumers from 400 retail stores with state- inspected, retail approved and tested raw dairy products. Mark has pioneered a new theory of pasteurization intolerance that lays outside the clinical definition of true lactose intolerance and has gathered the data to support this concept which will now be proven in future university studies. Mark taught paramedic medicine at the Fresno County Health Department EMS division and was a preceptor and medical quality assurance evaluator for field paramedics. Mark was born and raised on the family farms near Fresno with his four brothers., www.organicpastures.com. © All Rights Reserved. 283.

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)

282

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

283

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." 284

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 285

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 author’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. It’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!
