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. 8

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

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

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

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

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

Motivation:

Jumpstart Your Health

â&#x20AC;&#x17E;Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain." - Vivian Greene

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

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

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

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

YOUR DESIRE TO CHANGE MUST BE GREATER THAN YOUR DESIRE TO STAY THE SAME

Surgeon and health campaigner, William Arbuthnot Lane was born near Inverness in 1856, the eldest child of an army surgeon. His childhood was spent following the regiment in India, Corfu, Malta, Canada,

Dr John Poynton recalled him; "In his day, one of England’s greatest surgeons. Guy’s Hospital. A tall, rather thin man with a clever and uncommon face, and seemed ageless. He was a surgeon –essentially - almost aloof from the patient. What he felt or thought was hard indeed to tell. What line of thought governed him was hard to tell also. He had the hands and dexterity of the born mechanic. I was his House Surgeon when he was intent on curing Hare Lip and Cleft Palate in babyhood. How he could manipulate needles in the tiny mouths was to me astounding. Naturally the operation often broke down later, but this in no way disturbed him in his course. He was a pioneer in the surgery of ear diseases, and Ballance by comparison seemed a strong cart- horse following an Arab steed. His curious mind was illustrated by this: He was removing a kidney and said to me "such a dull operation, don’t you think so? " Seeing that I had been a House Surgeon a matter of weeks I was hardly in the habit of removing kidneys. His method of wiring fractures and plating the bones were famous. Later he became intent on the colon and liquid paraffin. He was a wonderful abdominal surgeon, quick, light- fingered and dexterous, I never saw a better. There is no doubt his skill inspired the younger surgeons at G. O. S." (The following information is excerpted from: Sir William Arbuthnot Lane (1856–1943), HHARP: the Historic Hospital Admission Records Project (http://www.hharp.org), Kingston University.1

South Africa and Ireland. In 1872 he went to Guy's Hospital to study medicine, and was persuaded to become a surgeon, as it was a surer way to advancement than through medicine. He began his surgical career at the Victoria Hospital for Children, Chelsea, although he returned to Guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in 1882 as an anatomy demonstrator and assistant surgeon. He served as a consultant at Great Ormond Street Hospital from 1883 to 1916, and his work as consulting surgeon at Aldershot and the French Hospital, in addition to opening St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, Sidcup, earned him a CB on top of the baronetcy he was awarded in 1913 for an operation he performed on a member of the royal family. A controversial character in many ways (his advocacy of complete removal of the colon found little favour among his colleagues), his reputation as a safe pair of hands in the operating theatre was unrivalled. He was fanatical about hygiene while operating, designed surgical instruments to reduce the disturbance of tissues, and was supremely successful in setting (and resetting) simple fractures using wires and screws to keep the knitting bones in place. At Great Ormond Street, he developed new techniques for cleft palate and hare lip surgery (with specially- developed breathing exercises) that attracted patients from across the globe. He was an early advocate of healthy diet as a cancer prophylactic, and his much- publicized views on this topic brought him into final conflict with the BMA, from which he resigned in 1924. In 1925 he launched the New Health Society, which promoted whole meal bread, increasing consumption of fruit and vegetables, the return of people to the land, maximizing exposure to sunlight, and physical exercise.

Colon Health - Startling Theories Of Self- Poisoning (The following information is excerpted from: Colon Health - Startling Theories Of Self- Poisoning, Originally Published Early 1925, www.oldandsold.com )2, 3

Sir Arbuthnot Lane, the eminent abdominal surgeon of London, has been in a position for many years of making interesting firsthand observations on this important subject and probably no authority can be quoted who gives more vigorous support to the theory. The first result of intestinal- intoxication, he says, in his book Intestinal Stases is the decrease of fat (loss of weight), which is a marked feature in most cases and is, perhaps, the first evidence that the individual is failing to deal with the poisonous matter that is DESTROYING THE STRUCTURE and impairing the function of every one of the tissues of the body. The removal of the pelvic fat results usually in a backward displacement of the fungus of the uterus. Intestinal intoxication plays so large a part in the development of diseases of the female genito- urinary organs that many specialists in those diseases believe that these pelvic conditions may be a product of intestinal stasis.' As regards the attractiveness of woman, the loss of fat is a matter of vital importance to her happiness. The skin undergoes remarkable changes in the formation of wrinkles, the prominence of bones, flatness and flaccidity of the buttocks, droopiness of the breasts, and increasing pigmentations (discoloration). The neck becomes brown, later almost chocolate colored. The skin of the armpits, abdomen, and adjacent aspects of the thighs and the covering processes of the spine become darker and darker. The secretions of the flexures of the colon become abundant and offensive. The hair becomes dry, is rapidly lost either because of impaired nutrition of the cells or from the invasion of the roots by microorganisms. In the young subject there is often a new growth of fine hair over the Reference: Colon Health - Startling Theories Of SelfPoisoning, Originally Published Early 1925, www.oldandsold.com)

lower part of the face, down the back and over the forearms. These all disappear more or less completely with an improvement of the conditions' The muscular system degenerates in a marked manner, the voluntary muscles wasting and tearing easily. In consequence the individual frequently assumes positions of rest. The relaxation of the muscle wall of the abdomen deprives it of its function of compressing the viscera efficiently in defecation with the result of a large accumulation in the pelvic colon. The muscular wall of the intestine wastes in a similar manner. The large intestine has no rounded form but, being inelastic, puddles in the floor of the true pelvis, forming innumerable bends through which its contents are advanced with great difficulty. In one group of cases the heart is soft and flabby with blood pressure subnormal; while in another the left heart is definitely enlarged, the aorta (the large artery of the heart) dilated and its walls weakened by fatty degeneration as are those of all the vessels, and the blood pressure is abnormally high. In the cases of the syphilitic individual (sex disease) these changes become more marked when associated with intestinal intoxication. Inflammatory or degenerative changes in the kidneys are much more commonly associated with the second group (high blood pressure) than with the first' The toxins (poisons) appear to exert a specially depreciating influence on the respiratory center. Symptoms which are typically asthmatic in character are not infrequently seen in this condition, while minor varieties are commonly present. Perhaps the worst feature of chronic intestinal stasis is the DISTRESSING and DEPRESSING effects on the nervous system. Sometimes the depression and melancholia are so great as to lead to fear of suicide. Familiar symptoms are headache, sleeplessness and inability to perform any mental or physical exertion. The favorite diagnosis for these cases of intestinal infection is neurasthenia (nerve weakness). Socalled neuritis (disease of the nerves) is a frequent complication. It varies commonly in Reference: Colon Health - Startling Theories Of SelfPoisoning, Originally Published Early 1925, www.oldandsold.com)

severity from violent neuralgic twitching, resembling epilepsy, to sciatica (neuralgia of the sciatic nerve felt at the back of the thigh and sometimes running down the calf of the leg) of a mild type. Often the pains are described as rheumatic. At first in females the breast presents characteristic hardening which commences in the upper and outer zone of the left breast, subsequently extending entirely over both. Cystic or other degenerative changes may ensue and at a later period cancer may appear with remarkable frequency in these damaged organs. The author has found as many as seven distinct nodules of possible cancer in a hard, lumpy breast in which the presence of that disease was not suspected. One of the most remarkable results of removing the source of intestinal infection is the rapidity with which even extreme degrees of degeneration of the breast disappear and the organ regains its normal form and texture after operation on the intestine. That the skin, lessened in vitality and resisting power, becomes invaded by various organisms that produce many of the skin diseases is familiar to us all. The most common affection perhaps is the formation of pimples on the face and body. (â&#x20AC;Ś) Chronic articular rheumatism, like tubercle, is never present except in association with intestinal intoxication. Its severity may be accentuated by the presence of any other infection which exists in consequence of the stasis, such as infection of the uterus, gums, nasal and associated membranes, etc., and some relief may be obtained by dealing with these secondary infections. The thyroid (a large, ductless gland at the lower part of the neck, an enlargement of which is caller goiter), is liable to various infections which cause the several forms of disease of that organ, such as exophthalmic goiter (characterized by palpitation of the heart), general hypertrophy (enlargement), the development of outside tumors, of cysts (a cavity containing fluid and surrounded by a capsule or membrane) 'and finally cancer, "None of these conditions can arise except in the presence of intestinal intoxication." Reference: Colon Health - Startling Theories Of SelfPoisoning, Originally Published Early 1925, www.oldandsold.com)

To the list of diseases traceable by Lane to intestinal infection, based on his surgical experience, - Dr. Kellogg, also a surgeon of wide experience, adds a still more formidable list. He asserts that "poisons that cause the rise of blood pressure are produced in the intestines. Bain found these poisons present in the blood of persons who have high blood pressure, showing that they are retained in the body." These poisons have been shown by experiment to be capable of producing nephritis (disease of the kidneys) when absorbed from the mucous membrane as well as when injected. - Mantle agreed with Sir Bertrand Dawson that inflammation of the mucous membrane of the colon as well as inflammation of the stomach and catarrh of the upper section of the small intestine may be due to infection from the vermiform appendix. That many people seem to be well, even though they suffer from constipation, is due to the fact that the natural defenses of the body are not yet broken down. Toxins do not readily find their way into the circulation until after the mucous membrane of the intestine has its surface broken or ulcerated as the result of chronic infection. - Sir Lauder Brunton is quoted with approval to the effect that the colon bacillus seems to have a special power of producing fatigue toxins, and many people in whom it exists in great abundance suffer from constant weariness and fatigue. Brunton's tentative assignment of inflammation of the joints, previously mentioned by Lane, as belonging to the same category, is also endorsed. - Dr. Beezly Thorn is quoted approvingly to the effect that there are few phases of heart- and- blood circulation trouble with which disorder of some part of the alimentary tract is not causatively associated.

Reference: Colon Health - Startling Theories Of SelfPoisoning, Originally Published Early 1925, www.oldandsold.com)

- Dr. Bottentuit personally in- formed the writer (Kellogg) "that practically all subjects of long- standing colitis presented myocardial weakness (inflammation of the muscular tissue of the heart) generally with dilatation." - A. E. Garrod is quoted that "it has long been an article' of faith that continued indiscretions in diet and overeating cause chronic arterial and renal (kidney) disease." He quotes further in support of his thesis that Dr. Mellanby, lecturer on physiology, King's College for Women, England, says that several powerful poisons which he names are found in the intestine and that- two of them raise the blood pressure. That the above poison may be responsible for ARTERIO- SCLEROSIS (inflammation of the walls of the arteries) seems to have been proved by the work of Harvey, who produced marked hardening of the arteries and a kidney condition resembling the large white kidney, by giving small quantities of these substances by mouth to animals over prolonged periods. - Dr. Alfred C. Jordan, "an eminent x- ray expert," is quoted to the effect that in many subjects intestinal stasis is marked in radiographic evidence of atheroma (fatty degeneration of the walls of the arteries), likewise of the aorta (the large heart artery) at an unusually early ageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;another instance of the havoc wrought, says Jordan, on the tissues by intestinal poisons. - Dr. J. F. Birscoe is quoted with approval: "Who has not seen a prodigious evacuation of `the bowels at the hands of the physician, terminate a case of insanity," and - Dr. Lennox Wainwright, "physician to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children" (city not stated), is brought to the support of the statement that he is quite sure that the mental effect on many patients of prolonged INTESTINAL TOXEMIA is such as to make them almost demented, and he believes that if many of our asylums were invaded by a good physician who would approach the subject without Reference: Colon Health - Startling Theories Of SelfPoisoning, Originally Published Early 1925, www.oldandsold.com)

any preconceived idea, many cases of melancholia and hypochondria (both disorders of the mind) would yield to common- sense treatment. The foul condition of the breath speaks volumes of what may be suspected lower down, although the patient may not be constipated (in the usual sense). On this subject, 182 pages away, Dr. Kellogg drops into instructive anecdote. Some years ago a man who had fasted for three weeks consulted the writer on the 21st day of his fast. He had begun the fast for the purpose of getting rid of a foul tongue, a bad breath and various disorders which were clearly the result of chronic intestinal poisoning. He was disappointed in finding that all the symptoms had become worse. His tongue was heavily coated, his breath very foul, he was sleepless and greatly depressed and nervous. On inquiry it appeared that his bowels had not moved once during the entire three weeks. In answer to a question he remarked, "I took an enema the day before I began to fast and I have eaten nothing since; of course, my bowels have not moved as there is nothing to be moved!" A saline laxative was administered at once and within 24 hours the patient had several large and offensive stools and was greatly relieved. Needless to say this patient was cured of his desire to fast. - Ernest Clark, the eminent eye surgeon of Downing College, Cambridge, England, is quoted on degenerative changes in the eye, that although not generally recognized, the eye is an organ that registers in a very delicate manner certain conditions of the system, and amongst them intestinal toxemia is markedly one. The hardening of the lens may be DELAYED by the absence of, and accelerated by the presence of, certain poisons in the system, and intestinal toxemia takes a very high place in the list. One individual has an accommodative power of only 2 1/2 diameters while another of about the same age has 8 1/2. What is the difference between the two? In the first the lens has hardened prematurely and is only equal to the lens of a man of 55. That is, he is suffering from premature old age and, in the great majority of cases, in physical Reference: Colon Health - Startling Theories Of SelfPoisoning, Originally Published Early 1925, www.oldandsold.com)

appearance, habits and powers, he is aged 55. There are many causes which advance this premature senility, but the factor common to a very large majority of them is intestinal stasis. On the other hand, those whose accommodative power is higher than normal look much younger and on going into their history it will be found invariably that they have taken the greatest care to avoid the least suspicion of intestinal stasis. This premature senility of the lens is another proof of the truth of the old saying that a man is as old as his arteries; the premature hardening of the blood vessels often taking place at the same time as the process in the lens. Commenting on the observations of Clark, Kellogg cites three of his own cases. A young woman of 18 found her sight failing. She needed glasses usually worn by persons of 50. By a change of regimen and improved bowel action the ABNORMALITY in a few weeks disappeared. A college professor of 50 wearing glasses adapted to physiological long sightedness of advancing age, after following a changed regimen for a few months, found that his eyes IMPROVED to such a degree that he had the same range of accommodation as a normal person of 50. A physician of 60 who had adopted a laxative, aseptic regimen (that would not be a source of putrefaction) found his glasses uncomfortable, and on examination by an oculist discovered that his glasses were ten years too old for him. A change was made to younger glasses and he was still wearing them at 66, although they were adapted to a person of 50. In these cases, Kellogg says, the rejuvenation of the eyes was accompanied by the disappearance of numerous symptoms of senility, and a great increase in physical vigor and endurance. Intestinal intoxication, says Hurst, is probably due more to the abnormally long period during which the feces are retained in the intestines and to the Reference: Colon Health - Startling Theories Of SelfPoisoning, Originally Published Early 1925, www.oldandsold.com)

consequent EXCESSIVE ABSORPTION OF POISONS than to any increase in bacterial decomposition. Adami showed that when stasis occurs in the colon, especially in the cecum and ascending colon, where the contents are fluid and living bacteria most abundant, an excessive number may reach the blood. Those that escape destruction in the liver and spleen are excreted by the kidneys and prelates (inflammation of the pelvis of the kidney) may result. In the British Medical Journal the same author says that when excess of bacteria are circulating in the blood they may collect in various situations where they break down and set free toxins which may destroy the cells in the neighborhood and cause the connective tissue to proliferate (the multiplication of similar forms, especially of cells and morbid cysts). He believes that infection due to weakening of resisting cells from constant effort is overcoming toxic cells; also a condition in which bacteria become destroyed, and with their destruction liberate toxins which poison the cells around them, may account for the association of rheumatism, arthritis (inflammation of joints), and various other conditions with CONSTIPATION. - Chalmers Watson, commenting on the brilliant experiments of Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute, New York, who found that living tissues growing in a sterile medium could have their LIFE INDEFINITELY extended by washing away the toxic products associated with the vital processes, says the conditions in the human being as a result of intestinal toxemia are, for practical purposes, identical with the above. As a result of imperfect removal of bowel waste slowly acting poisons are absorbed into the system, and induce the clinical manifestations (that is during the period of treatment) of toxemia. Watson confirms what has already been said of rheumatoid arthritis (chronic inflammation of the joints). As a result of a close study of this disease for many years he has been led to share the view of its INFECTIVE ORIGIN, the source of the infection Reference: Colon Health - Startling Theories Of SelfPoisoning, Originally Published Early 1925, www.oldandsold.com)

being invariably one of the three mucous surfaces of the body. In the great majority of cases the infection comes from the gastrointestinal tract, the mouth and the teeth being not infrequently primary factors in this intestinal infection. In the remaining cases the infection comes from the genito- urinary tract or the membrane of the lungs or bronchial tubes. He is satisfied that the disease is essentially curable in its early stages, and that if early cases were adequately investigated and appropriate treatment applied to the main source of the infection (the gastrointestinal tract) we would soon see a profound change in the incidence of the disease, in the severe forms at the present met with.

In his new book on the "Conquest of Cancer" (December, 1923) Robert Bell, physician in charge of Cancer Research, Battersea Hospital, London, and vicepresident of the International Society of Cancer Research, takes a strong position that cancer is caused by a contamination of the blood stream through intestinal putrefaction. He is also strongly in favor of medical treatment of cancer by injection and against surgical interference, having witnessed many cases of the development of malignancy from simple tumors through surgical operations.

Special Thanks to Vance Ferrel)

Originally from Glasgow, Scotland, Dr. Bell moved to London, where he practiced medicine for over half a century. In 1894, he abandoned surgery as useless, and began trying to determine better methods of eliminating cancer. Bell was a distinguished physician who, in the 1870s, had devised an improved method of treating diphtheria and an improvement in treating smallpox which eliminated the secondary fever. In the 1880s, he identified constipation as a cause of disease and named the resulting absorption of toxic material into the blood "AUTOTOXEMIA." He also originated the microphotograph. After abandoning surgery, Bell advocated a CAREFUL VEGETARIAN DIET and the elimination of constipation, as the means of avoiding and recovering from disease. In 1896 he read a paper before the British

Gynecological Society about diet, as a means of eliminating cancer, and surgery as useless and harmful. From that date onward, he met with violent resistance from the medical community. In 1903, Bell published his book, The Treatment of Cancer without Operation. In it, he cited the case of a woman whose milk overflowed. It was diagnosed as cancer, although Bell said a cancerous breast could not give milk. After she was operated on, a cancer developed and she died three months after the birth of her child. He charged that surgeons removed every breast lump as malignant, when one half of breast tumors were not. Surgery, he declared, ACTUALLY INCITED a more active development of cancer. Despite the professional opposition, King Edward recognized his worth and offered him a title. But Bell was too embroiled in controversy to accept it. Bell would help patients that other physicians left to die; and, when one of his patients died, he was charged with a crime by the medical association. But the resulting court trial revealed one of the accusing physicians to be the one responsible for her death. Dr. Bell also established that injuries, blows, or continued irritation to a part of the body could later lead to the development of cancer in that site. He developed what is probably the best explanation, to date, of why this occurs: In healthy tissue, blood resulting from internal bleeding is quickly absorbed without leaving clots. Normally, clotting is necessary only to seal an external wound. But, in an acute or inflammatory condition, the tissue cannot properly absorb blood. The result may be a hard internal clot which therefore acts as something like a foreign body and later can become the nucleus of a tumor. This would explain why cancers tend to recur at the sites of surgical incisions. Blood clots adhered there, causing tumors to begin growing.

Chronic Irritation of Cancer (The following information is excerpted from an article: Chronic Irritation of Cancer, Dr. William So Asserts in a Paper Read to Convention of American 5 surgeons, The New York Times 1914)

CHRONIC IRRITATION is the most important condition which predisposes tissue to cancerous growths, according to a paper read by Dr. William J. Mayo of Rochester, President of the American Surgical Association. The peculiar cancer which attacks the mouths of natives of India, Dr. Mayo said, was due to the irritation set up by the juice of the betel nut which they chew. Cancer of the groin, for another illustration, was almost entirely confined to sailors and chimney sweeps. Cancer of the stomach, he said, formed one- third of the cases among civilized peoples, but was less frequent among savages and animals. He asked: ‚Is there then some FUNDAMENTAL FAULT in the food, or in the cooking of it, that gives such a preponderance to precancerous conditions in the gastric region among civilized people?‘ He said that, accepting the theory, that CANCER IS CAUSED BY IRRITATION in the great majority of cases, and because of the fact that cancer of the stomach is the most prevalent form, the logical conclusion is that overeating is the principal cause of the disease. Meat when eaten in large quantities, he said, was a greater irritant than other forms of food. 33

Epidemiology of constipation in N. America: a systematic review. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to systematically review the published literature regarding prevalence, risk factors, incidence, natural history, and the effect on quality of life of constipation in North America (…). RESULTS: The estimates of the prevalence of constipation in North America ranged from 1.9% to 27.2%, with most estimates from 12% to 19%. Prevalence estimates by gender support a female- tomale ratio of 2.2:1. Constipation appears to increase with increasing age, particularly after age 65. No true population- based incidence studies or natural history studies were identified. In one cohort, 89% of patients with constipation still reported constipation at 14.7 months follow- up. From limited data, quality of life appears to be diminished by constipation, but the clinical significance of this is unclear. CONCLUSIONS: Constipation is very common, as approximately 63 million people in North America meet the Rome II criteria for constipation. Minimal data are available regarding incidence, natural history, and quality of life in patients with constipation. Effort should be expended toward the study of these topics, particularly in the elderly, who are disproportionately affected by this condition. - Higgins PD, et al., Department of Internal Medicine, University of Michigan Division of Gastroenterology, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. 6

Auto- Intoxication: Death And Health Begins In The Colon (The following information is excerpted from: Auto- Intoxication Death And Health Begins In The Colon, by Da Vid, The Light Party, www.lightparty.com) 7

This realization is the foundation for holistic medicine which is increasingly being practiced here in the west and has been practiced in the in the orient for thousands of years... There is an epidemic in our society, and it has to do with the gastrointestinal diseases that we develop within us as a result of the FOOD THAT WE EAT. The human suffering and the social, medical, and economic costs of gastrointestinal diseases and disorders that have become so common in the US and Canada are nothing short of enormous, representing a huge share of our annual health care expenditure, as well as being responsible for a large loss of productivity. Up to 100 million North Americans suffer from intermittent forms of digestive diseases, and the estimated lost work, lost wages, and medical costs comes to over 50 billion dollars per year. It is also estimated that some 200,000 workers miss work every day due to digestive problems.

In their lifetime the average American eats… - 12 three thousand pound cows - 6 whole pigs - 2,000 chickens, turkeys and other flying birds - 3,000 fish, sea creatures and sea scavengers - 30,000 quarts of cow’s milk - 30,000 aspirin / pain killers - 20,000 over- the- counter and prescription drugs - 2,000 gallons of alcohol - 500 doughnuts - 400 candy bars - 300 soft drinks - 170 pounds of white refined sugar "Just imagine all of that dead decaying flesh, junk food and drugs going into your mouth, all of it passing through your digestive tract into your bloodstream, your brain, your heart, and then out through your liver, bowel and kidneys. This fiberless feasts causes the average American to be 70,000 BOWEL MOVEMENTS SHORT in their lifetime." - Dr. Schulze Merck fact #1: "Every American eventually has DIVERTICULOSIS, or has many DIVERTICULA" - Dr. Schulze Merck fact #2: "Up to 50% of Americans has polyps in their colon." - Dr. Schulze [Bottom Line:] Every American WILL DEVELOP some type of colon disease, polyp, tumor or colon cancer in their lifetime, so it’s high time we started talking about what’s causing it, how to heal it and more importantly, how to prevent it. - Dr. Schulze

When the eliminative system of the human body is not in top- notch working order, particularly if it has become sluggish or clogged, it cannot properly process and eliminate food wastes and toxins. Medical science now acknowledges that up to 85% or more of all adult Americans suffer from some form of intestinal stasis [i.e., constipation, sluggish bowels, etc.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Ed.]. This virtually GUARANTEES toxic buildup in the colon which, over time, inevitably results in one or more forms of serious illness or chronic degenerative disease. Intestinal stasis sooner or later causes the wastes and toxic byproducts from the foods we eat to build up to such an extent that they start to become putrefactive. In turn, this putrefactive buildup in the colon becomes a veritable breeding ground, encouraging the rapid growth of huge colonies of toxin- producing, diseasecausing bacteria (e- coli) along with a host of known toxic chemicals and waste products... When the digestive and eliminative systems are not properly working to rid the body of this accumulating putrefactive buildup in the colon, the resulting toxins are then absorbed from the colon into the bloodstream, and are carried back into every part of the body. This process of selfpoisoning is known as "autointoxication". In a nutshell, because of intestinal stasis, the body ends up chronically poisoning itself with its own wastes and toxins instead of carrying out its designed purpose of eliminating them. This process of continued selfpoisoning inevitably results in candidiasis and a dramatically weakened immune system, which can lead directly to such common ill- health conditions as chronic fatigue and body weakness, nervousness, depression and mood swings, skin disruptions such as acne and eczema, ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders, headaches, arthritic joints, swelling of hands and feet, chronic allergies, bronchial problems, cardiovascular irregularities (arrhythmias, high blood Reference: Auto- Intoxication, Death And Health Begins In The Colon, by Da Vid, The Light Party, www.lightparty.com)

pressure, etc.), pathological changes in the breasts, premature senility, epilepsy, and many other serious and debilitating problems. Health statistics also show that more North Americans are hospitalized due to diseases of the intestinal tract than for any other group of disorders. The medical cost of these diseases is estimated to be $20 billion or more per year. The annual cost of prescription and over- the- counter drug products used for digestive tract diseases is approximately $2 - 2.5 billion dollars per year, and has grown at a steady rate of 10% over the last decade. The following is an estimate of costs, and adequately demonstrates the fact that these diseases present a significant public health problem, which contribute substantially to our overall health care costs: Laxatives Antacids Antihemorrhoidals Anridiarrheals

Cancer of the colon and cancer of the rectum are the second most common forms of cancer in North America, exceeded only by lung cancer. This year alone (2003), there will be approximately 150,000 new cases diagnosed, and approximately 60,000 related deaths. Perhaps as many as one out of every 10 North Americans will die of these two diseases.

Reference: Auto- Intoxication, Death And Health Begins In The Colon, by Da Vid, The Light Party, www.lightparty.com)

The following are some of the other very common diseases and disorders that are directly related to the Colon: Constipation, Appendicitis, Diverticular Disease, Hemorrhoids, Benign Tumors, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis, and Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease. Evidence suggests that all of these disorders were very rare in the Western world less than 100 years ago, and that each of these has greatly increased during the last 50 years. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, for years now researchers such as Cleave, Trowell, Burkitt, and others, have known that all these diseases are almost unheard of in communities which still adhere to their traditional way of life. In developing countries in Asia and Africa for example, documented evidence has proven the rarity of diseases such as diverticulitis, appendicitis, bowel cancer, adenomatous polyps, ulcerative colitis, varicose veins, hemorrhoids and hiatus hernias. In Africa, this has been the case with appendicitis, ishemic heart disease, diabetes, obesity, gallstones, varicose veins, venous thrombosis, and hemorrhoids. As these countries develop and begin to adopt Western ways and customs, a rise in the frequency of these disorders follows almost as surely as night follows day. They first appear and then become common in the upper socioeconomic groups, which are the first group of people to become westernized. In Africa, this has been the case with appendicitis, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, gallstones, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids. The same kind of thing happened in Japan after World War Two, especially in the urban communities. In the past it was thought that the large intestine was not really too involved in absorption (the principal absorptive functions being to conserve water and electrolytes secreted into the gut during digestion). However, recent research has demonstrated that, among other things, the colon does in fact participate in protein absorption.

Reference: Auto- Intoxication, Death And Health Begins In The Colon, by Da Vid, The Light Party, www.lightparty.com)

As it turns out, the result of the investigations by many over the years has led to a much more specific conclusion than merely some sort of ambiguous, or mysterious "environmental factor" which is somehow involved in the cause of these diseases and disorders. Rather, many have become far more specific about the cause, supporting what has come to be known as the "F(iber)- Hypothesis". This is extremely significant in as much as the colon is the major side of exposure to the bulk of endogenous bacterial proteins, enterotoxins, and breakdown antigens, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of a number of diseases, including ulcerative colitis and Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, food allergies and allergic gastoenteropathy, bacterial enteritis (from toxins produced by Escherichia coli, Shigella, Vibro cholerae, etc.), and certain extra- intestinal immune- complex diseases. Even more important than protein absorption is the operation of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) in the colon. These are nerve endings that are attached to the colon wall and they provide nerve impulses to stimulate the operation of the various organs and glands within your body. The type of stimulation that the ANS is able to provide to your organs and glands is a direct reflection of the health of your colon.

Beard is a medical doctor originally from Scotland who discovered the cause of all cancers and published a paper on The Unitarian Trophoblastic Theory of cancer in 1902. His field of expertiese was cancer disease, to which Dr. Beard has spent his entire life.

"...Medical mankind in particular, were supposed to be waiting for the advent of some new scientific discovery concerning the nature of cancer... ...The physical martyrdom was lacking; but there are, as I can testify from experience, many more ways than one of burning a scientific man at the stake." - John Beard. D.Sc., The Enzyme Treatment of Cancer and its Scientific Basis. c. 1911 AD. The British developmental biologist John Beard, DSc (1858- 1924) is little remembered today. Yet, he made outstanding contributions to the life sciences. Beard deserves to be included among the leading biologists of the late 19th and early 20th century. He has been hailed as a forerunner of the present- day theory of the cancer stem cell (CSC). He was the first to point to the parallels between cancer and the trophoblastic cells that envelop and nourish the embryo, characterizing cancer as "irresponsible trophoblast." He pointed out that the initiation of fetal pancreatic function coincided with a reduction in the invasiveness of trophoblast, which otherwise might progress to clinical cancer (ie, choriocarcinoma). Based on the above propositions, he recommended the therapeutic use of pancreatic enzymes in treating cancer and other diseases. This therapy created a worldwide controversy, and although rejected in his day, persists in the world of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) today. - The Life and Times of John Beard, DSc (18581924) Ralph W.

Dr. Hernan F. Acevedo, PhD. Using conventional and accepted methods, Acevedo rigorously showed that the "synthesis and expression of hCG, , the hormone of pregnancy and development that also has chemical and physiological properties of growth factors,, ...is a common biochemical denominator of cancer."

(The information found in the following pages is excerpted from: Dr John Beard and the The Unitarian Trophoblastic Theory by Dr Dan Duffy Sr. DC, http://www.whale.to)

Dr. Beard’s Cancer Theory: Here is Dr. Beard theory on Cancer. Cancer, while having multifactorial stimuli that will cause the process of the initial replication of the undifferentiated cell, has in fact, one root cause - a deficiency of pancreatic enzymes. Everything else associated, "goes along for the ride" so to speak. Dr. Beard stated, truly believed and later proved clinically, that cancer was the result of failure of the Pancreas to produce proper amounts of pancreatic enzymes. He stated that cells left over from embryonic development of the fetus are scattered throughout our bodies and later in life are occasionally stimulated to begin reproducing. [By some local stimulant such as environmental poison, drug, food, injury etc.] It is the job of pancreatic enzymes to digest these cells the moment they begin to multiply. In the absence or deficiency of pancreatic enzymes, these primitive cells begin to multiply and the result is cancer, the rapid, uncontrolled growth of undifferentiated cells.

On Oct. 30, 1967, Dr. Beard was sentenced in US Federal Court, Ft. Worth, Texas, 'to...mail fraud...He alleged he could detect the presence of cancer in urine in 95% of all tests made." - FDA Papers, 1967- 1968 (in ACS, Unproven Methods of Cancer Management, 1967). Article written by Wade Frazier 8 Beard's 1911 book, The Enzyme Treatment of Cancer, received little attention and most scientists have never heard of it. But the theory did not disappear, but went underground. It has formed the basis of an enormous number of alternative explanations and treatments. In 1946, Dr. C. Oberling predicted: "Someday perhaps it will turn out to be one of the ironies of nature that cancer, responsible for so many deaths, should be so indissolubly connected with life." Well, "someday" is here. Never has the link between the process of birth and of death been more closely linked. - Ralph W.

As a result of Beard's announcement, which was promptly rejected by his peers, there soon [by 1911] were forty clinics in London, England curing cancer using crude pancreatic enzymes - however Madam Curie came along and convinced people that Xray was the way to go because it was so "safe" and "effective" and the pancreatic cancer cure was quickly forgotten for several decades. In the absence or deficiency of Pancreatic enzymes, Sympathetic dominant patients will end up with solid tumors in brain, pancreas, stomach, liver etc., Parasympathetic dominants will end up with the "soft" blood related cancers. The SYMPATHETIC dominants need a more vegetarian based diet; the PARASYMPATHETICS need a more meat based/animal protein diet. The trophoblast cells of pregnancy are typical cancer cells that eat into the uterine lining to prepare the nest. These cells are eventually turned off when the fetal pancreas turns on, otherwise the cancer of pregnancy ensues and kills the mother and baby very quickly. This was the key to Beard's discovery of the link between cancer and pancreatic insufficiency - the fact that in every specie he investigated, it was the turn on of the pancreas that coincided with the end of growth of the trophoblast cells of pregnancy. Trophoblast cells of pregnancy are exactly like cancer cells. Based upon his theory an early cure of a sarcoma was effected by one of his MD friends who injected the pancreatic enzymes - they believed, [incorrectly] that the enzymes needed to be injected because digestion would inactivate them. This is not true, pancreatic enzymes survive digestion and go on to digest cancer cells in the body, [fortunately for us]. Another Beard [Howard] came along and devised the HcG "Anthrone test" to measure female hormone in the urine. The test is based upon the fact that trophoblast cells of pregnancy, like all cancer cells, excrete HcG. Back in the early seventies these tests were performed on males and females. If you showed the hormone in the urine you were considered to be either a pregnant female or a male or female with cancer.

Howard Beard jokingly stated at the Cancer Control Society seminar back in the seventies that he had some tumors in his bowel and when they got too big he would stop eating donuts and go back on his pancreatic enzymes to shrink the tumors back down. Back then Laetrile, vitamin B17, was being directly injected into the veins of cancer patients as part of the cure but the nutritional cure rate was only about one third - due to the mistaken idea that everyone needed a vegetarian diet and needed to avoid animal protein. William Donald Kelley, a dentist from Grapevine, Texas, cured himself of pancreatic cancer in the sixties and went on to develop the present nutritionally based, do- it- yourself home cure for cancer which is probably over ninety per cent effective in patients who have not been overly destroyed by chemotherapy and orthodox treatments. No one need die of cancer. However, it is a full time job to cure yourself of cancer. The cause and cure are known and at hand. It has been developed by Kelley over the last thirty years. (â&#x20AC;Ś) What we need to do as quickly as possible is, get these people off the dole and get their hands out of the public till. We need to start denying tax money to pursue these stupid projects - and we need to get big government OUT OF THE MEDICAL BUSINESS!!! Keep in mind that modern medicine has not cured a single degenerative disease. NOT ONE!!! Every degenerative disease that has ever been cured has been cured by an essential food factor - not a prescription drug - and every single degenerative disease is caused by either an environmental poison, most of which are introduced into our environment by medical quacks and quack scientists or by malnutrition. Not one single degenerative disease ever suffered by a human was due to a deficiency in a prescription drug.

History of John Beard's Trophoblast Cell Theory (Part 1) by Prof Keith Scott- Mumby MD, MB ChB, PhD. This following information was extracted from: http://www.alternative- doctor.com/ by Prof Keith Scott- Mumby MD, MB ChB, PhD., 10- 18

To understand this important group of resources, we need to visit a little bit of scientific history. In 1902 a Scottish doctor, John Beard, published an interesting paper. He drew attention to the fact that when the placenta implants into the uterus, the way it burrows in and invades the mother’s tissue is exactly like a cancer. Why didn’t the placenta just keep going and take over everything – like a cancer does? Nobody knew at the time but John Beard noticed that the placenta stops invading at exactly the moment when the infants pancreas starts to produce enzymes. If that doesn’t happen, the deadly cancer of pregnancy - chorion- carcinoma - ensues which is capable of killing the mother and baby very quickly (today there is an excellent cure rate for chorion- carcinoma). The cells of the placenta which invade are called the trophoblasts. Whenever you see the word "tropho" or "trophic" in science, it means feeding. These cells set out to establish the food supply line for the baby fetus. Beard began to ask himself whether cancer cells, which look exactly like trophoblast cells—young, vigorous, unspecialized—could also be TURNED OFF by enzymes from the pancreas. In fact he went even further and speculated that cancer came from hidden trophoblasts cells in the body, left over from days in the womb, which got activated again, by stress and toxins. Perhaps normally these get picked off by enzymes but sometimes they do not and cancer is the result. So Beard called this the trophoblastic theory of cancer. I think he hit the target right on bullseye and it’s worth making sure you understand the implications of this theory and the treatments which result. Because IT

DOES WORK. Within a few years there were hundreds of clinics which sprang up offering pancreatic enzyme treatments for cancer patients. There were centers 40 in London alone. Of course it was attacked as nonsense by the medical establishment. They attack everything, from good diet, to surgeons washing their hands and keeping everything clean, to anesthetics. But it wasn’t that which saw Beard’s work disappear. Not long afterwards Madam Curie came along and convinced people that X- ray was the way to go because it was so "safe" and "effective" and the pancreatic cancer cure was quickly abandoned. Marie Curie became famous and John Beard was promptly forgotten (that's called "scientific progress"!). But the story didn’t die totally. William Donald Kelley, a dentist from Grapevine, Texas, cured himself of pancreatic cancer in the sixties, largely using Beard's theories, and went on to develop a nutritionally- based, do- it- yourself home cure for cancer which is probably over ninety per cent effective in patients who have not been overly destroyed by chemotherapy and orthodox treatments. Dr. Beard believed the enzymes had to be injected, to prevent destruction by hydrochloric acid in the stomach. However, recent evidence demonstrates that orally ingested pancreatic proteolytic enzymes are acid stable and pass intact into the small intestine, where they are absorbed. Dr Kelley, whose dietary program had his own enzymes compounded and they certainly worked. No- one need die of cancer. However, IT IS A FULL TIME JOB to cure yourself of cancer. The cause and cure are known and at hand.

Link Between Trophoblasts And Cancer Corroborated (The following information is excerpted from: LINK BETWEEN TROPHOBLASTS AND CANCER CORROBORATED, Copyright 1997 by Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D., The Moss Reports, www.ralphmoss.com) 9

An article in the orthodox journal, Cancer, has established that a natural hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin, or "hCG," is an accurate marker for the presence of cancer. This finding could have profound implications for understanding the cause of cancer, as well as suggesting how to detect and prevent it. The association between hCG and cancer has been suggested in unconventional research circles for decades, but this is the strongest suggestion to date found in the standard medical literature. HCG formed the basis of the H.H. Beard "Anthrone" test and the Novarro diagnostic test for cancer. Both of these were roundly condemned by the American Cancer Society which, ironically, is the publisher of Cancer. For decades the link between this particular hormone and cancer was championed by Ernst T. Krebs, Jr., the co- discoverer of laetrile, who passed away in late 1996. Given its "disreputable" past, it was somewhat startling to find ideas about the role of hCG given such vigorous support in Cancer. The finding that hCG is present in most cancers raises again the age- old question, "Where does cancer actually come from?" The first great theory of cancer's origin was proposed by Julius Cohnheim (1839- 1884) and was called the theory of embryonal rests. Cohnheim was a great cancer scientist, and the first to scientifically classify tumors the way we still do today (i.e, carcinomas, fibroma, sarcoma, etc.). Cohnheim thought he had discovered the core of the problem of the origin of cancer in embryonal factors. In the course of development of an embryo, he said, more cells than are produced than are necessary for the formation of any given part. Reference: The Moss Reports, by Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D., www.ralphmoss.com)

This left an excess of germ cells behind. In cancer's development, he said, the principal fact is this excess material. In 1902, a Scottish professor of embryology named John Beard published a variant on this interesting theory. He called this the trophoblastic theory of cancer's origins. It was not so much refuted as ignored by the medical establishment. Over time, the focus of research shifted to the study of the individual cell, and especially its genes. Beard's 1911 book, The Enzyme Treatment of Cancer, received little attention and most scientists have never heard of it. But the theory did not disappear, but went underground. It has formed the basis of an enormous number of alternative explanations and treatments. In 1946, Dr. C. Oberling predicted: "Someday perhaps it will turn out to be one of the ironies of nature that cancer, responsible for so many deaths, should be so indissolubly connected with life." Well, "someday" is here. Never has the link between the process of birth and of death been more closely linked. GLYCOPROTEINS: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is defined as a negative charged glycoprotein hormone (a "sialoglycoprotein") that is produced by the trophoblastic cells of the human placenta as well as by certain cancer cells. This hormone is well known in conventional clinical medicine as the basis of the urinary diagnostic test for pregnancy. Every time a worried teenager buys a pregnancy kit at Rite Aid she is engaged in a search for hCG. In 1994, Dr. A. Krichevsky and colleagues showed that cancer cells express hCG in all its forms, including the related human luteinizing hormone (Endocrinology 1994;135:1034- 1039).

Reference: The Moss Reports, by Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D., www.ralphmoss.com)

Then in mid- 1995 Dr. Hernan F. Acevedo, PhD and his colleagues at the Allegheny- Singer Research Institute in Pittsburgh published a landmark article on the topic in the ultra- orthodox journal Cancer (1995;76:1467- 1475). Acevedo is well- known for his prior work confirming some of the assertions of Virginia Livingston- Wheeler, another doctor whose treatment was enriched by the Beardian thesis. Using conventional and accepted methods, this time Acevedo rigorously showed that the "synthesis and expression of hCG...is a common biochemical denominator of cancer." This finding provided the scientific basis, he explained, "for studies of prevention and/or control by active and/or passive immunization against" hCG and related compounds. In other words, if hCG is always present in cancer, you can then `turn your guns' on it as a target in therapy. Ask a conventional oncologist and she will tell you that hCG is known to be the defining marker in choriocarcinoma and some other rare tumors, but is not found with any consistency in more common cancers. This is the crux of the controversy. By using more sophisticated techniques, such as quantitative analytical flow cytometry, Dr. Acevedo has now seemingly demonstrated the presence of hCG, its subunits, and/or fragments in cells from 85 different cancer cell lines (Cancer 1992;69:1818- 1828; Cancer 1992;69:1829- 1842; and Cancer Detect Prevent 1995;19:37).

He also found hCG in cells isolated from human malignant tumor tissues (Proc Am Ass Cancer Res 1994;34:27).Acevedo's summary is that "hCG, the hormone of pregnancy and development that also has chemical and physiological properties of growth factors, is a common phenotypic characteristic of cancer." Reference: The Moss Reports, by Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D., www.ralphmoss.com)

A clinical trial has in fact begun using a vaccine directed against hCG. It utilizes a combination of a synthetic form of hCG bound to diphtheria toxoid. A similar product was used in another clinical trial and "proved an almost incredible degree of efficacy and safety." This new product was originally developed for fertility control by the World Health Organization. Phase I trials of this vaccine have now been completed (Triozzi, PL, et al. Int J Onc 1994;5:1447- 1453) and Phase II trials are underway. Universality: What is amazing in all this is the near universality of the hormone in cases of cancer. The activation of a particular gene and gene cluster "always occur," says Acevedo. Through the presence of hCG, cancer cells are able to independently regulate their own growth. Acevedo confirms that hCG makes a tumor "invisible" to the immune system, which is loathe to attack anything in the body that looks like a developing fetus. "These characteristics make cancer cells immunologically inert." Dr. Acevedo summarizes: "cancer is development and differentiation gone awry. "After 93 years," Acevedo continues, " Beard has been proven to be conceptually correct...." Needless to say, this is a statement few of us ever expected to see in a publication of the ACS! And, we read, it was Dr. Beard's observations that "gave rise to the trophoblastic theory of cancer." Here is certainly one of the most amazing turnarounds in the history of medicine- - how a theory can lay dormant (like an embryonal rest) for almost a century before being finally accepted by at least part of the scientific establishment.

„Dr. Price made a revolutionary discovery revealing a linkage between diet and degenerative diseases."

(~ 1920 AD)Weston A. Price, DDS

Dr. Weston Price DDS (1870 - 1948) A prominent dentist born in Canada. Founded the Research Institute of the National Dental Association. This later became the Research Section of the American Dental Association. His extensive research made him a genius in the true sense of the word.

Nutshell: The Charles Darwin of Nutrition, the Father of Preventive Dentistry. Books written by Dr. Price: Dental Infections, Oral and Systemic (1923), The Relation of Light to Life and Health: Some Biochemical and Clinical Aspects (1926) Nutrition and Physical Degeneration: A Comparison of Primitive and Modern Diets and Their Effects (1939) Paul B. Hoeber, Inc; Medical Book Department of Harper & Brothers. Alltogether 10+ works in 50+ publications in 4 languages and 1,000+ library holdings (The following information is excerpted from: Weston A Price, International Wellness Directory Wellness Minnesota, www.mnwelldir.org)

Dr Weston Price studied dentistry. Dr Price was a genius in the true sense of the word. William James tells us that genius "means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way," while Ezra Pound says that it is "the capacity to see ten things where the ordinary man sees one." Einstein adds that "Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them."

"I have referred to the importance of a high- vitamin butter for providing the fatsoluble activators to make possible the utilization of the minerals in the foods. In this connection, it is of interest that butter constitutes the principle source of these essential factors for many primitive groups throughout the world. …It’s brilliant orange color testified to the splendid pasture for the dairy animals. The most physically perfect people in northern India are probably the Pathans who live on dairy products largely in the form of soured curd, together with wheat and vegetables." "The reputation of the (New Zealand) Maori people for splendid physiques has placed them on a pedestal of perfection. Much of this has been lost in modernization. …great physical endurance and good mind." - Dr. Weston Price "it is "the capacity to see ten things where the ordinary man sees one." - Ezra Pound says The protocol in this book is very effective for preventing and mineralizing cavities. Timothy Gallagher, D.D.S., President, Holistic Dental Association

Practicing in Cleveland, Ohio in the 1930s, Dr Price saw what all the dentists of his time saw, but his conclusions, in the form of questions, were far beyond the scope of dentistry. They were genius. He asked himself why it was that the healthier (overall health) the individual, the healthier the individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jaw, teeth, and gums. He knew that the FOUNDATION of true health is nutrition (we are what we eat) and he asked himself what it was in our diets that was causing so many unhealthy beings to land in his dental chair. His first answer was an even brighter question: "Could it be our processed foods?" Every theory stays a theory unless the theorist acts upon it. Thomas Edison told us, "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." Dr Price was a genius. Dr Price left his practice and traveled around the world looking for indigenous people who were untouched by processed foods, to examine their teeth. His work, his findings, and his genius have today landed him the title THE CHARLES DARWIN OF NUTRITION. I like to call him the Father of Preventive Dentistry. Dr Weston Price studied fourteen different cultures. From tribes in Africa to the Eskimos in Alaska, from the Polynesian Islands to the Swiss Alps, Dr Price

I was ready to have a tooth pulled and the dentist told me that I needed a root canal, but I had no money for either procedure. I was in pain and my cheek had already begun to swell. But after just over a month of following Ramiel's dietary protocols it is hard for me to feel which tooth was bothering me. Thanks a million to Ramiel Nagel for writing this book. Unbelievable! - Leroy, artist from Utah. "I started eating a traditional diet 5 months ago and have lost 20 lbs without trying, even though I eat as much or more food now as I did before. I think this is in part due to the coconut oil I have started including in my diet, which speeds up metabolism. I have so much energy now and there is a healthy glow in my face. I know I'm doing something right because a clerk at a clothing store recently told me I didn't look old enough to have children. I then asked her how old I looked and she said about 25. She was really astonished when I told her I was actually 37. I had to go shopping for new clothes (size 4, thank you) because my old clothes were too baggy." - Helen Lampinen, USA, 29 June 2004, http://www.rejoiceinlife.com/

"Well, I think indigenous peoples have

sought out isolated primitives looking for those factors responsible for healthy teeth. His first discovery was that the further away from civilization, the fewer cavities he found. He had to look in three or four mouths to find a single cavity. Yes, he found some very green teeth, almost moss covered (as it were), but beneath this coat was a fine, strong tooth, planted firmly in a strong, full jaw. He found straight teeth, little decay, healthy bodies, and resistance to disease. The further he got away from civilization, the HEALTHIER the peoples. He found cultures in which cancer and heart disease were unknown. Also unknown to these cultures was crime. They had no terms for words such as "jail" or "prison." The diets he uncovered were widely varied, but all of them provided at least FOUR TIMES the amounts of water soluble vitamins and minerals (especially calcium) and at least TEN TIMES the amounts of fat soluble vitamins as the diets of so called civilized peoples. Pregnant mothers and fathers both practiced premarital and pre- conception nutritional programs. The motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health was maintained to produce healthy off spring, and children were spaced apart far enough to give the mother time to recuperate and regain her health.

"I believe very firmly that indigenous populations had a really good, intuitive understanding of why we're here. And we're trying to gain that same understanding through psychology and intellect in modern civilization." - Serj Tankian "If you have health, you probably will be happy, and if you have health and happiness, you have all the wealth you need, even if it is not all you want." - Elbert Hubbard "The greatest - Virgil

"Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open." - B.K.S. Iyengar "A healthy body is the guest- chamber of the soul; a sick, its prison." - Francis Bacon "A healthy body is the guest- chamber of the soul; a sick, its prison." - Francis Bacon

of these civilizations had special foods for PREGNANT OR LACTATING MOTHERS, as well as special diets for growing children. Sadly, Price also discovered that just one generation of separation from these practices brought a host of health problems: narrowed faces, crowded teeth, reduction in immunity, and degenerative disease. Just take a look at the Native Americans today, full of our American foods, to see how nations of great, healthy hunters have degenerated into obese, disease filled shadows, suffering from heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and alcoholism. Dr Price wrote up his findings, along with many pictures that show the striking contrasts between healthy individuals and those just one generation away from their roots, in his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. Later he published his research on root canals and the extensive problems associated with them in Oral & Systemic and Dental Infections & the Degenerative Diseases. Yes, we must agree with old Abe Lincoln when he says that, "Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored," but sadly, as my favorite Russian author Dostoyevsky adds: "Innovators and men of genius have almost always been regarded as fools…. " Fifty years after his death, a few within the bastions of the orthodox dental establishment began to look at his work. Dental amalgams and root canals are now being questioned. Holistic Dentistry is on the rise, for as Price discovered, the health of the individual determines the health of one's teeth. If you have a cavity, it’s not because of your toothpaste; IT’S YOUR DIET. Dr Price preached nutrient- dense, whole foods, organic diet till the day he died.

Characteristics of a Traditional Diet (The following information is excerpted from an article: Principles of Healthy Diets, The Weston Price recommendations, (WAPF), www.westonaprice.org/, 2000, The Weston A. Price Foundation. All Rights Reserved.)19

1. The diets of healthy primitive and non- industrialized peoples contain no refined or denatured foods such as refined sugar or corn syrup; white flour; canned foods; pasteurized, homogenized, skim or low- fat milk; refined or hydrogenated vegetable oils; protein powders; artificial vitamins or toxic additives and colorings. 2. All traditional cultures consume some sort of animal protein and fat from fish and other seafood; water and land fowl; land animals; eggs; milk and milk products; reptiles; and insects. 3. Primitive diets contain at least four times the calcium and other minerals and TEN times the fat soluble vitamins from animal fats (vitamin A, vitamin D and the Price Factor) as the average American diet. 4. In all traditional cultures, some animal products are eaten raw. 5. Primitive and traditional diets have a high food- enzyme content from raw dairy products, raw meat and fish; raw honey; tropical fruits; cold- pressed oils; wine and unpasteurized beer; and naturally preserved, lacto- fermented vegetables, fruits, beverages, meats and condiments. 6. Seeds, grains and nuts are soaked, sprouted, fermented or naturally leavened in order to neutralize naturally occuring antinutrients in these foods, such as phytic acid, enzyme inhibitors, tannins and complex carbohydrates. 7. Total fat content of traditional diets varies from 30% to 80% but only about 4% of calories come from polyunsaturated oils naturally occurring in grains, pulses, nuts, fish, animal fats and vegetables (â&#x20AC;Ś). 8. Traditional diets contain nearly equal amounts of omega- 6 and omega- 3 essential fatty acids. Reference: Weston A Price, International Wellness Directory Wellness Minnesota, www.mnwelldir.org

9. All primitive diets contain some salt. 10. Traditional cultures consume animal bones, usually in the form of gelatin- rich bone broths. 11. Traditional cultures make provisions for the health of future generations by providing special nutrient- rich foods for parents- to- be, pregnant women and growing children; by proper spacing of children; and by teaching the principles of right diet to the young. Dietary Guidelines 1. Eat whole, natural foods. 2. Eat only foods that will spoil, but eat them before they do. 3. Eat naturally- raised meat including fish, seafood, poultry, beef, lamb, game, organ meats and eggs. 4. Eat whole, naturally- produced milk products from pasture- fed cows, preferably raw and/or fermented, such as whole yogurt, cultured butter, whole cheeses and fresh and sour cream. 5. Use only traditional fats and oils including butter and other animal fats, extra virgin olive oil, expeller expressed sesame and flax oil and the tropical oilsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;coconut and palm. 6. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, preferably organic, in salads and soups, or lightly steamed. 7. Use whole grains and nuts that have been prepared by soaking, sprouting or sour leavening to neutralize phytic acid and other antinutrients. 8. Include enzyme- enhanced lacto- fermented vegetables, fruits, beverages and condiments in your diet on a regular basis. 9. Prepare homemade meat stocks from the bones of chicken, beef, lamb or fish and use liberally in soups and sauces. 10. Use herb teas and coffee substitutes in moderation. Reference: Weston A Price, International Wellness Directory Wellness Minnesota, www.mnwelldir.org

11. Use filtered water for cooking and drinking. 12. Use unrefined Celtic sea salt and a variety of herbs and spices for food interest and appetite stimulation. 13. Make your own salad dressing using raw vinegar, extra virgin olive \ flax oil. 14. Use natural sweeteners in moderation, such as raw honey, maple syrup, dehydrated cane sugar juice and stevia powder. 15. Use only unpasteurized wine or beer in strict moderation with meals. 16. Cook only in stainless steel, cast iron, glass or good quality enamel. 17. Use only natural supplements. 8. Get plenty of sleep, exercise and natural light. 19. Think positive thoughts and minimize stress. 20. Practice forgiveness. Dietary Dangers 1. Don't eat commercially processed foods such as cookies, cakes, crackers, TV dinners, soft drinks, packaged sauce mixes, etc. 2. Avoid all refined sweeteners such as sugar, dextrose, glucose and high fructose corn syrup. 3. Avoid white flour, white flour products and white rice. 4.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wrong With "Politically Correct" Nutrition? "Avoid saturated fats." Saturated fats play many important roles in the body. They provide integrity to the cell wall, promote the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use of essential fatty acids, enhance the immune system, protect the liver and contribute to strong bones. The lungs and the kidneys cannot work without saturated fat. Saturated fats do not cause heart disease. In fact, saturated fats are the preferred food for the heart. Because your body needs saturated fats, it makes them out of carbohydrates and excess protein when there are not enough in the diet. "Limit cholesterol." Dietary cholesterol contributes to the strength of the intestinal wall and helps babies and children develop a healthy brain and nervous system. Foods that contain cholesterol also provide many other important nutrients. Only oxidized cholesterol, found in most powdered milk and powdered eggs, contributes to heart disease. Powdered milk is added to 1% and 2% milk. "Use more polyunsaturated oils.": Polyunsaturates in more than small amounts contribute to cancer, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, learning disabilities, intestinal problems and premature aging. Large amounts of polyunsaturated fats are new to the human diet, due to the modern use of commercial liquid vegetable oils. Even olive oil, a monounsaturated fat considered to be healthy, can cause imbalances at the cellular level if consumed in large amounts. "Avoid red meat." Red meat is a rich source of nutrients that protect the heart and nervous system; these include vitamins B12 and B6, zinc, phosphorus, carnitine and coenzyme- Q10. "Cut back on eggs." Eggs are natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect food, providing excellent protein, the gamut of vitamins and important fatty acids that contribute to the health of the brain

and nervous system. Americans had less heart disease when they ate more eggs. Egg substitutes cause rapid death in test animals. "Restrict salt." Salt is crucial to digestion and assimilation. Salt is also necessary for the development and function of the nervous system. "Eat lean meat and drink low fat milk." Lean meat and low fat milk lack fatsoluble vitamins needed to assimilate the protein and minerals in meat and milk. Consumption of low fat foods can lead to depletion of vitamin A and D reserves. "Limit fat consumption to 30 percent of calories." Thirty percent calories as fat is too low for most people, leading to low blood sugar and fatigue. Traditional diets contained 30 percent to 80 percent of calories as healthy fats, mostly of animal origin. "Eat 6- 11 servings of grains per day." Most grain products are made from white flour, which is devoid of nutrients. Additives in white flour can cause vitamin deficiencies. Whole grain products can cause mineral deficiencies and intestinal problems unless properly prepared. "Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day." Fruits and vegetables receive an average of 10 applications of pesticides, from seed to storage. Consumers should seek out organic produce. Quality counts! "Eat more soy foods." Modern soy foods block mineral absorption, inhibit protein digestion, depress thyroid function and contain potent carcinogens.

Dr Moerman was a university trained doctor and a self trained biochemist whose determination to solve the mystery surrounding cancer began while he was a medical student in 1927. In an examination as a student, he was asked by his examiner, Professor Tendeloo of Leyden, his opinion as to the cause of cancer. Moerman replied that he found conventional theories unsatisfactory and said that he thought the cause of cancer could perhaps be in a local disturbance in metabolism which may have its origin in an abnormal condition of the whole body.

The best word to describe the Dutch physician, Cornelius Moerman, would be "steadfast." He withstood the strongest opposition of his colleagues during his entire professional life. Even today in the Netherlands, his name remains symbolic, forever connected to nutritional therapy, especially of cancer. Prior to World War II, Dr. Moerman published his view that cancer is not a local disease, but the tumor is the end stage of the deterioration of the total body. Strengthening the immune system, he said, is the answer to this disease, and nutrition plays the central role. Moerman, a passionate pigeon- fancier, observed that healthy birds did not develop cancer, whereas the weak and malnourished ones did. He argued, based on his own experiments with his pigeons, that cancer was a derangement of metabolism, a deficiency of iodine, citric acid, B- vitamins, iron, sulphur, and the vitamins A, D, E and later C. A strictly proper diet, supplemented with these substances, forms the basis of the Moerman therapy. Cutting- edge nutritional science has now caught up with Dr. Moerman's viewpoint. His principles for the treatment of cancer were, at the time, revolutionary. In September, 1976, Moerman was invited by Linus Pauling to the conference of the International Association of Cancer Victors and Friends in Los Angeles. As the guest of honour, Moerman received an award for his valuable work with cancer patients and for his original approach to the treatment of cancer. Meeting Moerman, Dr. Linus Pauling praised him and considered him to be one of his peers in the fight for the acceptance of nutritional medicine. - Dr. Gert Schuitemaker, President, ISOM, Hall of Fame 2005,

Unaware that not far away in Germany, Dr Warburg and Dr Gerson could have furnished him with a lot more of the knowledge he was seeking; in 1930 Dr Moerman commenced medical practice in Vlaardingen, Holland, determined to resolve the problem of cancer. Assistance came from an unexpected source: he received a communication from wine growers in which it was claimed that the number with cancer in the wine growing district was much lower than in places where there was little wine consumed (…). Dr Moerman realized that the real solution to the cancer problem was not simply finding an explanation for the disease, but lay in changing people’s fixed ideas, a task which could be compared to converting Muslims into Christians or vice versa. It has been a slow process, still with a long way to go. The main thrust of Dr Moerman’s argument was not to sell the idea of a "cancer cure", but to get people to realize that cancer cannot under any circumstances arise in healthy tissue: cancer arises only in tissue which has become degenerated for one or more reasons. Direct and convincing proof of this fact has been demonstrated by Dr Gerson and a number of other researchers, and is again described by Moerman: If we make a burn on the back of a healthy rat or mouse, this wound will heal in the normal way. If then we Reference: "Cancerproof your Body 1996" by Ross Horne, The Unconventional Research of Dr Cornelius Moerman, http://www.grainmills.com.au/)

"The major cancers of our time are diet- caused, mainly by fat and cholesterol." Dr Ernst Wynder, American Health Foundation, addressing the US Senate Select Committee "If we make a burn on the back of a healthy rat or mouse, this wound will heal in the normal way. If then we subject the same rat or mouse to a prolonged action of carcinogenic substances and we make another burn (or an injury such as a cut) on its back, a violent morbid growth of real carcinoma will develop. With this we have come to the question: How must we explain this cancer growth? Cancer tissue develops on places which have suffered an injury, followed by regeneration, which means that embryonic cells are formed. And we know that the embryonic metabolism is part based on fermentation. For these cells to grow into normal cells they must be able to breathe. In a healthy body healing will follow a normal course, but will not do so in an organism where through prolonged inferior feeding the substances it needs are lacking or made inactive by carcinogenic substances which have injured the oxygenating power of the cells. The cells then will continue to ferment, they will continue on a low (anaerobic) level of development and will grow independent. " - Theory of Cancer demonstrated by Dr. Cornelius Moerman 62

Dr Moerman then directs our attention to another experiment, one that involved the entire population of Holland and which commenced in 1940 and continued for ten years. The people of Holland were not consulted; the experiment, unplanned, was set in motion by the German occupation during World War II. As the war progressed, food became in short supply in Europe, particularly in countries largely dependent on imports from overseas. Holland was one such country in which to avoid starvation people had to rely on locally produced food. Meat and dairy products became almost unprocurable because their production took up too much land, and people were forced to switch to a diet mainly of vegetables, and whole meal and rye bread. The most profound result of the change in diet was evident in The Hague, where death rates from cancer dropped sharply from a figure of 180 per 100,000 deaths to 125 per 100,000 deaths in 1945 at the warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end. In 1945 normal food supplies started to become available again. What then happened? Reference: "Cancerproof your Body 1996" by Ross Horne, The Unconventional Research of Dr Cornelius Moerman, http://www.grainmills.com.au/)

The death rates from cancer climbed upwards; by 1950 they had climbed 160 per 100,000 deaths and have continued to rise ever since. In regard to the list of nutrients considered especially indispensable by Dr. Moerman for healthy cell metabolism, his further research indicated the importance of aneurin (thiamine or vitamin B1), lactoflavin (riboflavin, or vitamin B2), nicotinic acid amide (nicotinamide) and pantothenic acid. In regard to telltale signs of pre- cancer or early cancer, in addition to the signs Moerman listed from the beginning, he later placed great emphasis on the appearance in the blood of virus- like microorganisms, which was the origin of the once widely held virus theory of cancer. As already described, the appearance of the microorganisms is a feature common to many chronic conditions, and as chronic degeneration of body chemistry is a prerequisite for cancer, many physicians, by observing the degree to which microorganisms have proliferated, can assess the probability of impending cancer. In all cancer patients the proliferation is intense, and from this fact arose the theory that the "virus" actually caused the cancer, a theory that has years ago been disproved. To observe the virus, a blood sample must be examined under a microscope at the magnification of x 10,000. Correct use of this method of diagnosis is far more dependable than biopsy, Moerman asserts, because it is more accurate and can be performed in a few minutes from a minute blood sample taken from anywhere in the body. Moreover, the test is much safer than biopsy, during which there is a GRAVE DANGER of cancer cells, if there are any, being liberated into the circulation to form secondary metastases elsewhere. The presence of the socalled virus throughout the entire circulation clearly demonstrates that whatever cancer growth may be present it is a secondary effect of the primary constitutional disorder.

The Moerman Cancer Observations (The following information was extracted from a book: Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Cancer: disease of civilization?: An anthropological and historical study, Hill and Wang, 1960) 65

Dr Moerman observed that cancer only appeared in tissues that were chronically sick, and said, "In PERFECTLY SOUND TISSUES cancer has never yet, to my knowledge, come into being". He said the factor which finally caused the breakdown in cell respiration was injury to the oxygenating power of the cell due to the absence of nutritional substances such as Vitamins A, B complex, C and E, together with citric acid, iron, iodine, sulphur and others, together with an adverse sodium- potassium ratio. Dr Moerman said, "It is no longer a theory that cancer is a disease of the body as a whole, it has been incontestably proved. Each cancer patient shows a great number of clinical symptoms which have not been proved to be a consequence of the local tumor, but have been proved to be caused by an abnormal metabolism. To support this opinion I need only to point out the increasing emaciation of the body, which symptom we call cachexy, followed by death. We all know that this emaciation followed by death, occurs repeatedly, whereas on examination it appears that the cancer tumor is no larger than a chicken's egg. It is a fact the emaciation, followed death can never be explained by this tumor somewhere in the body; it can be explained by an ABNORMAL CONDITION OF THE METABOLISM. The cancer patient definitely does not die from the tumor in such a case, he dies from the disease of the body as a whole. This disease- - and not the tumor exclusively- - is CANCER. "The symptoms that occur with cancer- - namely general symptoms, cachexy, and multiplication of the virus and the mortal growth of the tumor tissue- - are results of disturbed metabolism." (From A Solution to the Cancer Problem - - Cornelius Moerman, MD.). The "disturbed metabolism" (ie. the cancer milieu) referred to by Dr Moerman, is capable of causing varying degrees of cell de- differentiation but apparently not always to Reference: Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Cancer: disease of civilization?: An antahropological and historical study, Hill and Wang, 1960) 65

the extent of causing actual cancer- - maybe benign tumor growth but not a malignant one. Malignancy requires a greater degree of de- differentiation, and this is where TISSUE IRRITATION OR INJURY comes in: When normal healthy tissue is injured, before healing growth can commence the cells in the injured area must first de- differentiate into near embryonic form in order to multiply rapidly. When the healing is complete, the cells become differentiated again and growth ceases. In precancerous tissue, however, containing cells already partially dedifferentiated, the further de- differentiation called for by the attempted healing at the site of irritation or injury may be sufficient to convert some of the cells into cancer cells. An illustration of this process is supplied by laboratory experiments in which the powerful carcinogen, coal tar, is applied to patches of skin on mice in order to produce cancer. In properly fed and exercised (ie. very healthy) mice, cancer does not eventuate, but in "normal" laboratory mice cancer usually appears after varying lengths of time. However, if before the appearance of the anticipated cancer, injury such as a cut* is caused in tissue remote from the patch of coal tar, cancer will appear not where the coal tar is, but at the site of the injury. This was demonstrated over sixty years ago by Dr H.T. Deelman of Groningen, Germany. Before that, in 1925, in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, Drs Murphy and Sturm reported: "It has not been an unusual observation in our experience that mice, failing to develop skin cancer as the result of the application of tar, are found to have tumors of the lungs" (â&#x20AC;Ś). This shows clearly that the coal tar causes cancer essentially by its poisoning effect of the bloodstream and subsequent breakdown of the body's detoxifying capability, and that the local irritation at the site of the patch of coal tar is only a secondary cause. In humans the breakdown of the body's detoxifying capability may take many years, with the gradual deterioration of the liver, kidneys, and other vital organs, depending on the nature of the abuse they have been subjected to.

The Moerman Anti- Cancer Diet (The following information was extracted from: Dr. Moerman's Anti- Cancer Diet, Natural Cancer Treatments, by R. Webster Kehr, Independent Cancer Research Foundation, Inc. http://www.cancertutor.com/) 57

Dr Moermans immune building diet brings the liver, kidney and other organs into a greater balance and in many cases reverses a cancer condition. It is not designed to kill cancer cells directly, but is designed to build various aspects of the immune system and build the collagen fibrils so that the cancer does not spread. (â&#x20AC;Ś) Like many other alternative doctors, he considered that "cancer was [caused by] a malfunctioning of the immune system that manifested itself outwardly on the body's weakest organ as a tumor." The cure rate for this diet is very high for non- terminal cases (i.e. roughly the same as orthodox medicine, but based on "total life," not a 5- year cure rate), but it also cures about 50% of terminal cases. Since it is designed to build the immunity system and stop the spreading of cancer, its cure rate for advanced terminal patients is probably not very high, though I do not have that information broken out. I quote from the book: "not every case of cancer can be cured with the Moerman Therapy: However, all forms of solid tumor cancer have responded to it..." There are eight key nutrients in this diet: 1) Vitamin A (requires Vitamin D as a catalyst), 2) Vitamin B complex, 3) Vitamin C, 4) Vitamin E,

5) Citric Acid, 6) Iodine, 7) Iron, 8) Sulphur

In addition to these eight items, Dr. Moerman identified 17 symptoms of cancer, each of which can be addressed by one or more of the eight key nutrients. Reference: R. Webster Kehr, Independent Cancer Research Foundation, Inc. http://www.cancertutor.com/)

Foods and Drinks: The most important aspects of the diet are lemon juice and orange juice. While it is true that citrus fruits do contain some cancer- killing nutrients, based on the cure rates I have seen, the citrus fruits are not as good at killing cancer cells as are some of the other fruits, such as purple grapes, strawberries, red raspberries, etc. In any case, I present his diet. Adults must eat one or two raw egg yolks daily, unless they have liver or gall bladder disease. Adults and children must drink the juice of three lemons each day. These are the only two requirements. Beyond that a person can eat the proportions of the allowed foods to their own desire. NOT Allowed FOODS: - Cheese with high fat and salt content: Bleu, Brie, Cheddar, Muenster, Swiss, - Egg white

(Reference: Gerson Institute, http://gerson.org) 27

Dr. Gerson was born in Wongrowitz, Germany in 1881 and he studied at universities of Breslau, Wuerzburg, Berlin, and Freiburg. He stumbled across the cure for cancer to which he dedicated his entire life largely by chance when he was trying to cure his headaches as after his studies, which were in the beginning of 20th century, Dr. Gerson was suffering from very frequent and severe migraines. It got very bad, so bad that migraine started to interfere with his work. Dr. Gerson saw all doctors around and as all the recommended treatments failed to alleviate the symptoms, he turned his attention to the diet, and Reference: Gerson Institute, http://gerson.org

"I see in Dr. Max Gerson one of the most eminent geniuses in the history of medicine. He has achieved more than seemed possible under adverse conditions. Many of his basic ideas have been adopted without having his name connected with them. He leaves a legacy which commands attention and which will assure him his due place. Those whom he has cured will attest to the truth of his ideas." - Dr. Albert Schweitzer 29 "Gerson's therapy attracted many highprofile patients, including Nobel Laureate Dr. Albert Schweitzer and his family, Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss of Austria, Former Premier Paul Painlevé of France, Panama Canal engineer Philippe-Jean Bunau-Varilla, Johnny Gunther (the subject of John Gunther's "Death Be Not Proud"), Raymond Gram Swing, and ABC Radio Network commentator and Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale University. In 1946, Sen. Claude Pepper (D-FL) summoned Gerson to testify about his cancer therapy before a Congressional Subcommittee's hearing to appropriate $100 million to fund a cancer research center in which Gerson was expected to play a major part." Source: curezone.com/ "....the dietetic treatment was used in all other kinds of tuberculosis – bones, kidneys, eyes, lungs, and so forth. It too, was highly favorable in many other chronic diseases such as arthritis, heart disease, chronic sinusitis, chronic ulcers, including colitis, high blood pressure, psoriasis, sclerosis multiplex, and so forth. The most striking results were seen in the restoration of various kinds of liver and gall bladder diseases which could not be influenced by other methods up to the present." Dr. Gerson's Suppressed 1946 Congressional Testimony

started to experiment with different food combinations. Through trial and error, Dr. Gerson managed to find the right dietary combination that cured him of migraines permanently. To his amazement, in the course of his treatment, one of Dr. Gerson’s patients discovered that the "migraine diet" cured his skin tuberculosis, too. This was an amazing discovery which led Dr. Gerson to study further the diet he developed. Since it was found SUCCESSFUL, Gerson began treating tuberculosis patients. After some time, his work eventually came to the attention of famed thoracic surgeon Ferdinand Sauerbruch, M.D. Later, it was this doctor who supervised Dr. Gerson’s skin tuberculosis treatment program at the Munich University Hospital. Sauerbruch performed and carefully monitored Gerson’s diet clinical trial on 450 end-stage tuberculosis patients. 446 of these recovered COMPLETELY. Together with Dr. Sauerbruch, they published articles in a dozen of the world’s leading medical journals, establishing Dr. Gerson’s treatment the FIRST CURE for skin tuberculosis. Dr. Gerson published dozens of articles in European medical literature, but he was almost completely shut out of publishing in his adopted homeland.

Europe, and his therapy was adopted by many as a STANDARD TREATMENT FOR IMMUNE SYSTEM DISORDERS of all kinds as well as tuberculosis. As a result of that many Swiss mountain tuberculosis sanatoria were put out of business turning into ski resorts, including Davos, Gstaad, and others. In 1928 Dr. Gerson began applying the "migraine diet" as a treatment for CANCER all around the world, finally moving to the United States in the late 1930’s. At this time, Dr. Gerson became a friend with Nobel prize winner Albert Schweitzer, M.D. Dr. Gerson was able to cure his wife of lung tuberculosis when all conventional treatments failed. Even Dr. Schweitzer’s own Type II diabetes was cured by his therapy and they remained friends for life. With their regular correspondence, he followed Dr. Gerson’s progress as the dietary therapy was successfully applied to kidney failure, heart disease, and cancer. In 1938, Dr. Gerson passed his boards and was licensed to practice in the state of New York. Since then, for the next 25 years, Dr. Gerson had treated hundreds of hopeless CANCERS, always when all conventional treatments failed. However, his career was followed by endless attacks of the mainstream medical community. Even some of his Reference: Gerson Institute, http://gerson.org

colleagues eventually turned on him and later a book he decided to write. The manuscript of the book was even stolen and had to be written all once again. In 1958, after thirty years of clinical experimentation, Dr. Gerson finally published a medical monograph, A Cancer Therapy: Results of 50 Cases, which details the theories, treatment, and the achieved results of his therapy. To shut Dr. Gerson down, the industry attempted to poison him with arsenic. On the second try, they SUCCEEDED. Luckily, Dr. Gerson’s daughter, Charlotte, took over his therapy. She founded the Gerson Institute with clinics in Mexico and Arizona. The Gerson Institute continues to treat not only cancer, but many other illnesses as well. Until this day, many thousands of patients who followed the Gerson therapy have been cured of chronic illness. Dr. Gerson treated a sick human organism in its totality. He was inducted into the orthomolecular wall of fame almost 50 years after his death. He left a legacy and a path back to the truth and to vital health. Dr. Gerson believed that disease is not normal, HEALTH IS. It is about time you became aware of this fact.

The Gerson Therapy is a safe, natural treatment developed by Dr. Max Gerson in the 1920’s that uses organic foods, juicing, coffee enemas, detoxification and natural supplements to activate the body’s ability to heal itself. According to the Gerson Institute, "Over the past 60 years, thousands of people have used the Gerson Therapy to recover from socalled "incurable" diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and arthritis." Gerson Therapy involves 3 important steps that have to be performed simultaneously. The FIRST step is detoxification by coffee enemas. The SECOND step is the Gerson Diet that supplies the essential nutrients including enzymes from 13 glasses daily of fresh vegetable and fruit juice. The THIRD step is the supplement of deficient nutrients, particularly potassium, iodine, and thyroid hormones. Additional supplements are used that include niacin, pancreatin, flaxseed oil, castor oil, coenzyme Q10, Wobe- Mugos enzyme products, laetrile, crude liver or vitamin B12 injection, and gastrointestinal enzyme products. The therapy aims to restore the diseased cells in the body back to normal.

After the initial 6- 12 week intensive treatment, the Gerson Therapy Program requires the cancer patient to adhere to a maintenance diet of low- salt, lowsugar, low- animal protein and high- potassium diet. All types of fresh and organic vegetables and fruits are encouraged. Tobacco, alcohol, canned, frozen, and other processed foods are discouraged. Salt and sugar are to be minimized or avoided completely - they should come from the natural foods, not from refined sources. The detoxification of the liver and the production of thyroid hormones to regulate the immune system are crucial to cancer recovery. Liver detoxification with coffee enema is a very important procedure in Gerson Therapy. It lowers the quantity of blood serum toxins, cleaning the poison out of the fluid nourishing normal cells. Coffee enemas cause dilation of bile ducts, facilitating excretion of dead cancer cells by the liver and dialysis of toxic products from blood across the colonic wall. The Gerson Therapy program requires dedication and discipline and hourly juicing - it simply will NOT WORK if you do not adhere to it completely, or if you cut corners and eat a few wrong foods here and there. It is ideally suited to the cancer survivor who is highly disciplined with enough energy to adhere to the strict regime (…) 74

Ladies and Gentlemen: I came here on vacation; I didn't come here for a lecture. I didn't bring anything. So, I wrote down some things since I was asked to tell you first how I arrived at the cancer treatment. It is a funny story. When I was a physician for internal diseases in Bielefeld [Germany) in 1928, one day I was called to see a lady. I asked her what was wrong with her but on the telephone she didn't want to tell me. So I went there, a little outside of town. Then I asked her "What's wrong?" She told me she was operated on in a big clinic nearby and they found a cancer of the bile duct. I saw the operation scar. She was running a high fever, was jaundiced. I told her, "Sorry, I can do nothing for you. I don't know how to treat cancer. I have not seen results, especially in such an advanced case where there is no longer the possibility of operation." So, she said, "No, doctor, I called because I saw the results in your treatment of tuberculosis and arthritis in various cases. Now, here is a pad and you write down a treatment. On that table over there, there is a book, and in that book, you will be good enough to read to me aloud the chapter called The Healing of Cancer." It was a big book of about 1,200 pages on folk medicine and in the middle there was that chapter. I started to read. That book was edited by three schoolteachers and one physician. None of them practiced medicine. So they put together that book. I read that chapter. In it there was something about Hippocrates who gave these patients a special soup. I should like to tell you, we use that soup at the present time! That soup from that book, out of the practice of Hippocrates - 550 years before Christ! He was the greatest physician at that time, and I even think the greatest physician of all time. He had the idea that the patient has to be detoxified with the soup and with some enemas and so on.

I read and read but finally I told the lady, "Look, because of my tuberculosis treatment physicians are opposed to me. Therefore I'd like not to treat you." Again she insisted, "I'll give you in writing that you are not responsible for the outcome of the treatment and that I insisted that you do so." So with that signed statement, I thought, all right, let's try. I wrote down the treatment. It was almost the same which I used for tuberculosis patients (36- 42) which I had worked out and used at the University Clinic in Munich with Prof. Sauerbruch. After the work at the University Clinic the treatment had been established and had been found effective. (43, 44). I thought that maybe it will be effective in cancer too. It is always written in scientific books that tuberculosis and cancer are both degenerative diseases where the body has to be detoxified. But this latter thought was written only by Hippocrates. I tried - and the patient was CURED! Six months later she was up and around in the best condition. Then she sent me two other cancer cases. One of her family with a stomach cancer where it had been found during an attempted operation that there were metastasized glands around the stomach- ALSO CURED! And I had to cure then, against my will, a third case. I expected to have still more opposition from the medical profession. The third case was also a stomach cancer. IT WAS ALSO CURED. Three cases were tried and all three cases were cured! I have to tell you that up to this day, I don't know how this happened, how I stumbled into that, how this was achieved. At that time I always said that I didn't know why they were cured. I didn't know enough about cancer and it was such a difficult problem to go into. But once it was in my head and in my hands and in my heart, I could no longer separate myself from that problem. Sometime later I was in Vienna. I had left Germany due to the political upheaval at the time of Hitler. There in Vienna I tried six cases and in all six cases, no results- all failures. That was shocking. The sanatorium where I treated my patients was not so well Reference: Speech by Cancer Expert Max Gerson, M.D., Lecture given by Dr. Gerson in Escondido, California, in 1956, www.Gerson.org, www.doctoryourself.com

organized for dietary treatments. They treated other diseases by other methods and didn't pay much attention to diet. So, I attributed the failures to that. Then I came to Paris. In Paris, I tried seven cases and I had three results. One of the cases was an older man. He had a cancer of the cecum where the colon starts, 70 years old. Another case was a lady from Armenia. This was a very interesting case. I had to work against the whole family. There were many physicians in the family, and I had plenty of trouble. But, anyway, I came through in that case. She had cancer of the breast which regrew. Every time the family insisted that she was "so much down." She weighed only 78 pounds. She was skin and bones and they wanted me to give her egg yolks. I gave her small amounts of egg yolks- the cancer regrew. Then they insisted that I give her meat, raw chopped meat. I gave her this and the cancer regrew. The third time, they wanted me to give her some oil. I gave her that oil and the third time the cancer regrew. But, anyway, three times I could eliminate the cancer again and cure. And still I had no idea what cancer was. If somebody asked me about the theory, just what it was I was doing, I had to answer, "I don't really know myself." Sometime later I came to this country. I couldn't get the cancer problem and the cure of the first three cases out of my mind. I kept thinking "It must be possible; it would be a crime not to do it." But it wasn't so easy. When I came here, I had no clinic. I didn't even have a license to practice medicine. When I had taken the exams and could take patients, I had to treat them at home and that was hard work. The patients didn't like to obey the diet, to do it at home. They were accustomed to save kitchen time and not to work hard to make all the juices necessary for the treatment as it had been worked out. Now the treatment for tuberculosis was a saltless diet, mostly fruit and vegetables, vegetables cooked without added water, steamed in their own juices, with a heavy pot, no aluminum. The cover had to be heavy and fit well so that the steam could Reference: Speech by Cancer Expert Max Gerson, M.D., Lecture given by Dr. Gerson in Escondido, California, in 1956, www.Gerson.org, www.doctoryourself.com

not escape. Then they had to have most of the food raw, finely grated. They had to drink orange juice, grapefruit juice, and apple and carrot juice. This had to be produced in a special machine- a grinder and a separate press- because I found that in centrifugal juicers or liquefiers, I couldn't obtain the kind of juice which cured patients. At first, I had thought that liquefiers would be the most wonderful thing. All the material was there, nothing was lost. But it didn't work. Then I found out through a physicist that in the liquefier, in the center, there is positive electricity and in the fluid there is negative electricity. This electricity kills the oxidizing enzymes. And that is also true for the centrifugal juicer and the other apparatus. The juice must therefore be made by a grinder and a separate press - if possible, made of stainless steel. (Editor's note: a masticating juicer, such as a Champion, might also work.) The patients must drink a lot of those juices. They have to have the Hippocrates soup. I can't go into all the details. The evening would not be long enough for that. But very important for the detoxification are enemas. I felt that the detoxification as suggested in the book of Hippocrates was a most important part. Finally, I had a clinic. The patients saw that also the more advanced cases and even some terminal cases, very far advanced cases, could be saved. They brought me more and more of these terminal cases. I was forced into that. On the one side, the knife of the AMA was at my throat and on my back. I had only terminal cases. If I had not saved them, my clinic would have been a death house. Some of the cases were brought on stretchers. They couldn't walk. They could no longer eat. It was very, very difficult. So, I really had to work out a treatment that could help these far advanced cases. (45, 46) Again, I was forced into it. On the need of where to put the emphasis: reading all the literature, I saw that all the scientists treat the symptoms. These, I thought, are only symptoms. There must be something basic behind them. It has to be impossible that there are symptoms in the Reference: Speech by Cancer Expert Max Gerson, M.D., Lecture given by Dr. Gerson in Escondido, California, in 1956, www.Gerson.org, www.doctoryourself.com

brain, others in the lungs, in the bones, it the abdomen and in the liver. There must be SOMETHING BASIC, or else this is impossible. Already, through my work with tuberculosis, I learned that in tuberculosis and in all other degenerative diseases, one must not treat the symptoms. The body- THE WHOLE BODY- HAS TO BE TREATED. But that is easily said. How will you do it? Little by little I came to the conclusion that the most important part of our body is the DIGESTIVE TRACT. For all our intake to be properly digested, and for the other organs of the digestive tract to function right and help in the digestion to the end productand at the same time eliminate all the waste products- all the toxins and poisons which must be eliminated so that nothing will accumulate in our system, I thought that this was the most important thing in the tuberculosis treatment. It must be the same in all the other degenerative diseases, too. And still, up to the present, I am convinced that cancer does not need a "specific" treatment. Cancer is a socalled degenerative disease, and all the degenerative diseases have to be treated so that the whole body at first is DETOXIFIED. In my tuberculosis work again, I saw that the liver plays the important role. It eliminates the toxins from the body, prepares them so they can enter into the bile ducts, and can thus be eliminated with the bile- that is not an easy job. In addition, the liver helps to prepare the stomach juice with the help of the visceral nervous system. The liver helps to prepare the pancreas, trypsin, pepsin, lipase, and the digestive enzymes- all that are regulated with the help of the visceral nervous system. The liver has many, many more very important functions. One of them is the reactivation of the oxidizing enzymes as we know through Rudolf Schoenheimer. He did the work along these lines. It would go too far to go into that at this time. It is very important to note that oxidizing enzymes are at a low level of function in cancer patients.

Now let us anticipate the theory. During these years the idea occurred to me that there are two components in cancer which are of particular importance. One is the whole body, the general component. The other is a local one, the symptom. The treatment has to be applied to the general component. When we are able to bring this into balance, the local one disappears. What is the general component and what does the treatment have to do to bring it into balance? I should like to devote this evening mostly to that question. The general component is the digestive tract and the liver. The digestive tract is very much poisoned in cancer. How can we handle that? Detoxification is an easy word, but it is very difficult to do in cancer patients. These cases, when they are far advanced, can hardly eat. They have no stomach juice, the liver doesn't function, the pancreas doesn't function, and nothing is active. Where do we begin? The most important first step is the detoxification. So let us go into that. First, we gave some different enemas. I found out that the best enema is the coffee enema as it was first used by Prof. 0. A. Meyer in Goettingen. This idea occurred to him when together with Prof.Heubner he gave caffeine solution into the rectum of animals. He observed that the bile ducts were opened and more bile could flow. I felt that this was very important and I worked out coffee enemas. We took three heaping tablespoons of ground coffee for one quart of water, let it boil for three minutes, then simmer 10 to 20 minutes, and then gave it at body temperature. The patients reported that this was doing them good. The pain disappeared even though in order to carry through the detoxification, we had to take away all sedation. I realized that it is impossible to detoxify the body on the one hand and put in drugs and poisons on the other, such as sedation medication - Demerol, codeine, morphine, scopolamine, etc. So, we had to put the medication aside which again was a very difficult problem. One patient told me that he had one grain of codeine every two Reference: Speech by Cancer Expert Max Gerson, M.D., Lecture given by Dr. Gerson in Escondido, California, in 1956, www.Gerson.org, www.doctoryourself.com

hours and he got morphine injections . . . how can you take these away? I told him that the best sedation is a coffee enema. After a very short time he had to agree with that. Some of the patients who had been in severe pain didn't take coffee enemas every four hours as I prescribed - they took one every two hours. But no more sedation. After just a few days there was very little pain, almost NONE. I can give you an example. A lady came to me not so long ago. She had cancer of the cervix and then two large tumor masses around the uterus. The cervix was a large crater, necrotic, producing blood and pus, and the poor lady couldn't sit any more. The condition was inoperable. She had been given X- rays and vomited any food she took in. She couldn't lie down anymore. She could not sit. She walked around day and night. When she came to my clinic the manager told me, "Doctor, you can't keep her here. This moaning and walking day and night is keeping the other patients from sleeping." After four days she was able to sleep with no sedative whatsoever - which had not helped her much anyway. The sedation had worked for perhaps half an hour or so. After 8 to 10 days, she asked me for just one thing: let her omit that night enema at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. These patients who absorb the big tumor masses are awakened with an alarm clock every night because they are otherwise poisoned by the absorption of these masses. If I give them only one or two or three enemas, they die of poisoning. I did not have the right as a physician to cause the body to absorb all the cancer masses and then not to detoxify enough. With two or three enemas they were not detoxified enough. They went into a coma hepaticum (liver coma). Autopsies showed that the liver was poisoned. I learned from these disasters that you can't give these patients too much detoxification. So I told this lady that for one night she could sleep for seven hours- but only for one night. I wouldn't risk more! When I didn't give these patients the night enemas, they were drowsy and almost semi- conscious in the morning. The nurses confirmed this and told me that it takes a couple of enemas till they are free of Reference: Speech by Cancer Expert Max Gerson, M.D., Lecture given by Dr. Gerson in Escondido, California, in 1956, www.Gerson.org, www.doctoryourself.com

this toxic state again. I cannot stress the DETOXIFICATION enough. Even so with all these enemas, this was not enough! I had to give them also castor oil by mouth and by enema every other day, at least for the first two weeks or so. After these two weeks you wouldn't recognize these patients any more! They had arrived on a stretcher and now they walked around. They had appetite. They gained weight and the TUMORS WENT DOWN. You will ask, "How can such a cancerous tumor go down?" That was a difficult question for me to understand. I had learned in my treatment of tuberculosis patients that I had to add potassium, iodine, and liver injections to help the liver and the whole body to restore the potassium. Now as far as I can see this is the situation. At first we give the patient the most salt- free diet possible. (47) So, as much salt (sodium) is removed from the body as can be. During the first days, 3 grams, 5 grams, up to 8 grams a day of sodium are eliminated while the patients receive only about one half gram of sodium content in the diet and no sodium is added. The patients are given thyroid and lugol solution (lugol's solution is iodine plus potassium iodide) I learned first through the socalled Gudenath tadpole experiment that iodine is necessary to increase and help the oxidation ability. Then we gave the patients large amount of potassium. (47) It took about 300 experiments until I found the right potassium combination. It is a 10% solution of potassium gluconate, potassium phosphate (monobasic), and potassium acetate. From that solution the patient is given four teaspoonsful 10 times a day in juices. That large amount of potassium is introduced into the body. (47) At the same time 5 times one grain of thyroid and 6 times three drops of lugol solution, Â˝ strength. That's 18 drops of lugol which is a large dose. Nobody was observed to develop heart palpitations from that, even if some patients told me that they could previously not take thyroid because they would develop heart palpitation. And all allergies disappeared! Some patients claimed that they could previously not take one Reference: Speech by Cancer Expert Max Gerson, M.D., Lecture given by Dr. Gerson in Escondido, California, in 1956, www.Gerson.org, www.doctoryourself.com

teaspoonful of lemon juice or orange juice - they were allergic. But when they are well detoxified and have plenty of potassium, they are not allergic. Allergies and other hypersensitivities are eliminated. When introduced into the system, thyroid and lugol solution go immediately into the cancer mass. These ripe cells take it up fast and they perhaps grow a little faster but they soak in more with great greed - as much as they can - together with a little bit of sodium, probably. But then there isn't much sodium left. So then these cells pick up potassium and the oxidizing enzymes and die by themselves. You have to realize that cancer cells live essentially on fermentation but potassium and oxidizing enzymes introduce oxidation. And that is the point at which we can kill cancer cells because we take away the conditions which they need to continue to live. But now we have to deal with a mass of dead cells in the body, in the blood stream - and they have to be eliminated wherever they may be. And that is not so easy! The ripe cells, the mature cells are very abnormal. These are much more easily killed than the other cells which are unripe, not yet mature, and not so well developed. And there are other cancer cells in lymph vessels. These are clogged at both ends by cancer cells. No blood and no lymph can reach them. There are cancer cells in the glands. They are hidden there, protected from regular circulation. So it isn't easy to reach these. At first it is only the big mass which killed. But this dead mass now has to be absorbed wherever it is - perhaps in the uterus, perhaps in the kidney, or in the lung, or in the brain - this has to be absorbed. This absorption is only possible through the blood stream. I call this "parenteral digestion." Entreat digestion is in the intestinal tract. Parenteral digestion takes place outside of the digestive tract, through the blood stream. It becomes important then to continually carry on detoxification day and night in order to bring the parenteral digestion to the highest point, even to a "hyper function." How can this be done?

Reference: Speech by Cancer Expert Max Gerson, M.D., Lecture given by Dr. Gerson in Escondido, California, in 1956, www.Gerson.org, www.doctoryourself.com

I found that in order to bring the parenteral digestion to the highest function, it is necessary to start with the soil. Our soil must be normal, no artificial fertilizers should be used no poisons, no sprays which go into the soil and poison it. Whatever grows on a poisoned soil carries poison too. And that is our food, our fruit and vegetables. I am convinced that the SOIL IS OUR EXTERNAL METAB6LISM. It is not really far removed from our bodies. We depend on it. But our modern food, the "normal" food people eat is bottled, poisoned, canned, color added, powdered, frozen, dipped in acids, sprayed- no longer normal. We no longer have living, normal food, our food and drink is a mass of dead, poisoned material, and one cannot cure very sick people by adding poisons to their systems. We cannot detoxify our bodies when we add poisons through our food which is one of the reasons why cancer is so much on the increase. Saving time in the kitchen is fine but the consequences are terrible. Thirty or fifty years ago (this speech was delivered in 1956) cancer was a disease of old age. Only elderly people whose liver was no longer working well - was worn out- became sick. They contracted cancer when they were 60 to 70 years old and cancer was a rare disease. Everybody knows that. And now four, even going on one out of three dies of cancer. Now in the second generation it is even worse. The poor children get leukemias more and more. There is no country which has so much leukemia as this country (USA), no country in the world. That is our fault. Ice cream is made with invert sugar. Coca- Cola contains phosphoric acid. Is it surprising that children get degenerative disease? These things constitute our external metabolism. Now let us consider our digestive tract. As part of the digestive tract, the most important thing is that we restore the function of the liver - the tissue and the function of the liver. That is very hard work. We give the patients (including also the tuberculosis patients) liver injections, and since most of these patients need an increase in the red blood cells, we add some vitamin B12. They receive 3 cc of crude liver extract Reference: Speech by Cancer Expert Max Gerson, M.D., Lecture given by Dr. Gerson in Escondido, California, in 1956, www.Gerson.org, www.doctoryourself.com

together with 100 mcg of B12. In addition when I found that our fruit and vegetables no longer have the normal content of potassium and not enough of the oxidizing enzymes, I looked for the best source of potassium in the best composition and the best supply of oxidizing enzymes. I found that to be calves liver. But we cannot give the patient calves liver because it contains too much fat and cholesterol. As you know, fat and oils cannot be given. Therefore we give these patients freshly pressed calves liver juice, which is made in a special way with equal parts of carrots. Liver alone cannot be pressed. We take Â˝ pound fresh calf's liver (not frozen) and Â˝ pound of carrots to make one glass of 200 cc (approx. 8 oz.) of fresh juice. The patients, the far advanced cases, get two glasses a day, even three glasses, and they like it! All this is done in the effort to restore the enteral digestion. When that functions, we add stomach juice (Acidol Pepsin) and we add pancreatin not coated. The cancer patients cannot digest the coated pancreatin. The pancreatin is given five times a day, three tablets each time. So they always have plenty of trypsin, pepsin, lipase and diastase in their systems. The blood can carry this around and digest the tumor masses wherever they may be. Now, since I am running out of time, I should like to tell you what we do to prove that this treatment really does work on cancer. (48, 49) Number one, the results. I think I can claim that I have, even in these far advanced cases, 50% results. The real problem arises when we cannot restore the liver. Then there is no hope. The liver- the restoration of the liver and its functions- are so important that some of the patients whose livers cannot be restored die some six months to 2Â˝ years later from cirrhosis. Autopsies show no cancer cells in the body. They did not die from cancer. They died from a shrunken liver. Since I give more liver juice and I give more for promoting the parenteral digestion, these cases of a shrunken liver are rare.

Reference: Speech by Cancer Expert Max Gerson, M.D., Lecture given by Dr. Gerson in Escondido, California, in 1956, www.Gerson.org, www.doctoryourself.com

I think I could do a lot to improve the results. I do not want to go into the problems that patients face when they go home and the family physician tells them that they need not "eat that cow fodder." Or the family thinks they cannot carry through this treatment because it is too much work as it takes one to one and a half years to restore the liver. The liver cells are renewed in four to five weeks, five to six weeks in older patients. To restore such a liver, you would need 12 to 15 new generations of liver cells. That is 1Â˝ years. But the most important part of the treatment, I have learned, is to give the patients a new functioning liver. Now, for the proof of this theory. I had the idea to make an animal experiment in which we connected two rats - one cancerous rat and one healthy one. We cut them open along the side and connected a blood vessel, then sewed them together: The blood from the healthy rat circulated in the sick one day and night and cleared up the sick body. Thus we showed that with a healthy normal metabolism you can cure cancer. You can cure the cancerous rat with the healthy body of the normal rat. But we are in the early stages of this type of experiment. There was one patient whose husband wanted to be connected to his wife because of her very poor condition. But she said no, she didn't want to have him immobilized so long, next to her, with extensive nursing day and night. When she was first brought in to me, she had a very bad liver with probably hundreds of metastases, also in the rest of the body. I had told them that I didn't believe I could do anything for her, so the husband had offered his healthy body. But, even as it is, she is still living and improving. At any rate, with this type of experiment we have had no experience on human beings, only on rats. Our next step to prove the theory was by taking tiny tissue samples from the liver by liver punctures. When time goes on and the patient recovers, the liver shows microscopically and chemically that recovery has taken place. This is done by micro-

chemistry. There is an increase of the potassium content and iron, and now we can even trace the content of cobalt. For ten years, I examined the potassium content in the serum of human beings and I made about 200 curves. But these are not characteristic. On the other hand, if we take a little tissue - a little mucous membrane or muscle tissue with the improvement of the patient, the tissue also shows a return to the normal potassium content. (47) This is of tremendous importance. Two months ago when I planned to come here for my vacation, the parents of this little boy wrote me and asked me for treatment for leukemia. Here is the little boy. He was treated with blood transfusions, had been 50 and 60,000 white blood count and his red blood count was down to 1,400,000. He lost eight pounds in one week, couldn't eat or drink. I started the treatment about six weeks ago. Since that time, the boy is up and around, he can ride his bicycle, he is active and gained a total of five pounds. The blood count is normal. Lymphocytes are 6,500; hemoglobin is 73; 4,500,000 red blood cells from 1,400,000! And here is the little boy. (The mother adds: "I want to tell you doctor, he really likes the liver juice, and he doesn't want to eat chocolate!") You see, the liver juice, the children really like it and ask for more. In the clinic where the parents had taken the child, they were told that nothing could be done for him but I feel that now we can save this child. (Applause) I have here another patient: Mr. Eyerly. Could you come here? Mr. Eyerly came here to see me. He lives in Salem, Oregon. The man had cancer of the prostate and it had grown into the urine bladder. He went to the University Clinic at Portland, Oregon, to a famous urologist. He diagnosed the metastasis into the urinary bladder and said that they could do nothing. Besides, the cancer had grown into the pelvic bones. This was two years ago. The physicians, including the family doctor, all told him that he could live only 4 to 6 weeks, especially since all bones of the pelvis were full of cancer. He looked Reference: Speech by Cancer Expert Max Gerson, M.D., Lecture given by Dr. Gerson in Escondido, California, in 1956, www.Gerson.org, www.doctoryourself.com

terribly ill when he came to me. His wife brought him with a nurse. He had made his last will and did not expect to live. Now we cured that. It was especially difficult. I should like to thank his wife. She prepared the treatment with the greatest devotion. She was wonderful and we could rely on her. In a family where there is real devotion in the application of this treatment, we can even save these far advanced cases. Of course, we cannot save all of them but we can save more than we sometimes even consider possible. (â&#x20AC;Ś) Q. Is cancer a state of reaction of unrestrained excessive factors of certain hormones working on various degenerated organs or tissues? A. No, I don't think so. There is much more and to answer that question, I have to go deeper into the problem. We have to separate the state of precancerous condition from the state where the cancer appears. In the precancerous condition, all is prepared. The liver is sufficiently damaged and the other organs of the intestinal tract are damaged enough and then later the symptoms appear. Until then we have the precancerous condition and this condition cannot be cured with hormones and enzymes, etc. We can to a certain degree stimulate the liver with hormones. We can stimulate the liver with cortisone. We can stimulate the liver with adrenalin etc., but then we take out the last reserves. We empty the liver instead of refilling it. What we have to do in cancer - a degenerative, deficiency disease- is to refill the organs which are empty and poisoned. Therefore it is almost a crime to give cortisone and the other stimulants which will take away the last reserves and improve the condition for a short while only. Q. How can we prevent cancer? A. Cancer must be prevented by preventing damage to the LIVER. The basic measure of prevention is not to eat the damaged, dead, poisoned food which we bring into our bodies. Every day, day by day, we poison our bodies. The older people still have a better liver and resistance from the food they had when they were young. The younger people get worse and the babies, now the second generation on canned baby foods, are still worse. They get leukemias. First of all, eat as much as you can of raw food, keep the potassium level up, and take some iodine.

difficult circumstances under which the operation took place as the operating room of an ocean liner was rusty and poorly equipped. Defying the orders of the vesselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owners, the operation took place in the middle of a stormy sea, using scalpels "as dull as a butter knife".

The event resulted in a rising tide of international tension and conflicts and it was for the first time that Dr. Issels achieved international recognition. However, his defiance of authority had never been a simple rebellion for its own sake. Despite the incredible danger he and his family had to face when the Nazi officials insisted that he stop treating his Jewish patients, Dr. Issels petitioned to resign from the Nazi Party. Even though the petition was granted, he was immediately recruited as an army medic and he was sent to the Russian front. Dr. Issels was captured and until 1945 he was treated in ways that cannot be described with words. He was a German prisoner on a Russian Front where every day his fellow prisoners were dying of starvation and diseases. Every day, Dr. Issels forced himself to stand and walk. He was eating snow to augment the fluid and mineral intake. Dr. Issels did not wish anybody to live through such an experience. The positive is that he survived. According to the saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What does not kill you makes you strongerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, this experience gave him a deep understanding and spiritual bond with thousands of pretreated cancer patients, exhausted and dying, seeking his help. He used to tell them, "Don't talk to me about survival! I know about survival." Issels was one of the first to forbid a wide variety of modern contaminants. His treatment was complex, intense and it SAVED MANY LIVES. It is beyond a shadow of a doubt that Dr. Issels remains one of the most heroic individuals of the 20th century.

The Fall and Rise of Dr. Issels (The following information is excerpted from: Gar Hildenbrand and Marcus A. Cohen. The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. Summer 1998, 4(2): 137- 145. doi:10.1089/acm.1998.4.137. http://online.liebertpub.com/) 50

In 1959, Dr. Issel’s hospital received strong support from an independent epidemiologist A.G. Audier in a respected journal Die Medizinische highlighting a remarkable observation that his practice had cured nearly 17% of the exhaustively pretreated and refractory cancer patients. The Audier’s exclusion criteria were extraordinarily rigorous. He only allowed to review only histologically verified patients which disease was recurrent. The results of Audier's comparison with major world data were statistically significant. On the heels of this major applause by Audier’s publication, Dr. Issels was ironically arrested on charges of FRAUD and MANSLAUGHTER. The trial lasted 4 years and reached the highest court in Germany, where, he was acquitted of all charges. During the trial, it came out that members of the German medical establishment had sent spies to apply for jobs in Dr. Issels medical practice. One of them was a worker whom was initially his admirer, staying until midnight every evening reviewing and cataloging the record charts, turned out to be an INTRUDER who sabotaged Dr. Issels records for impending lawsuit. During the trial which later became known as "CANCER TRIAL OF THE CENTURY" even the top authorities in the German medical community were involved in the conspiracy, who ultimately failed. In 1970, the British Broadcasting Corporation's (BBC) performed a review of his practice based on using similar exclusion criteria replicating the A.G. Audier’s findings back in the 1959. With a larger sample size, The BBC reported a new independent epidemiological chart review demonstrated a statistically significant cure rate approaching 19%, which was even higher than earlier. Dr. Issels defeated the authorities and more, his practice made him a widely recognized national HERO. Not even the 91

current Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany was known to as many common people as Dr. Issels, who had become a national hero. Even today, his practice continues to be of interest to scholars and practitioners alike. To his everlasting credit Dr. Issels became a coveted VIP speaker at prestigious institutions such as Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, many universities including University Oxford and McGill, and for various international medical conferences. In 1981, he received an invitation to take place a post of German Federal Cancer Commission. Dr. Issels held this post for nearly 7 years until my retirement. After his retirement Dr. Issels relocated to the United States, where he lectured and passionately traveled the last years of my journey. Furthermore, together with his wife, Dr. Issels created the Issels Foundation promoting and advancing cancer management with education and medical research. Dr. Isselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final project was an integrated set of medical managements with the well- known dietotherapy developed by former University of Munich tuberculosis division chief, Dr. Max Gerson. At age 88 he became a senior medical consultant as well as co principal investigator, involving the Issels Foundation, the Gerson Research Organization (GRO), and Centro Hospitalario Internacional Pacifico, (CHIPSA). Until the last day of his journey, Dr. Issels worked on this project daily by collaborating, writing, publishing, and teaching. There are other HEROES he was working with including Max Gerson, William Coley. They are respected medical educators and their names and work should be remembered for many years to come. After Dr. Issels work, two physicians kept his work going (Dr. Woppel and Dr. Ahmed Elkadi of Panama City, Florida). Elkadi uses Isselsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program, plus the use of the herb, Nigella sativa (black seed spice), with which he has observed a 55% enhancement of the helper T- cells and the suppressor T- cells, and a 30% enhancement of natural killer cells activity. Dr. Issels centers and clinics continue to treat cancer patients around the world, with all types and stages of cancer. 92

Dr. Issel’s Cancer Therapy (The following information is excerpted from: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA, Amazon.com, http://www.issels.com/)

Dr. Issels, came to the conclusion that the solution to cancer was to treat the WHOLE BODY, and not just a local tumor. Instead of administering a single nutrient or chemical, Issels identified a wide- ranging group of cancer- causing factors: genetic traits, microbes, dental amalgams (mercury poisoning), infections, abnormal intestinal flora, faulty diet, neural interferences, chemical toxins, radiation, etc. body therapy." First thing, the amalgam fillings must be removed, and tobacco, coffee, etc., stopped. Eating of organic foods is stressed, and even the emotional state of the patients is a subject of concern. In addition to removing or adding specific things from the diet and way of life, Issels also carried on several types of therapies: Issels used specialized oxygen therapy methods, not available to the average person. He also administered fever therapy (as William Coley and others did). During the induced fever, Issels found that he could increase the number of disease- destroying leukocytes (white corpuscles) in the bloodstream. He also used vaccines for specific types of cancer, using ultrafiltrates of cancer tissues in much the same way as modern vaccines use infectious agents to stimulate antibody production. In one long- term study of 370 patients, 87% were alive 5 years later, with no recurring signs. Dr. Issels’ relapse rate was only 13%. That is remarkably good. This high success rate is probably due to the fact that he fought the cancer with a variety of factors, including nutritional and lifestyle changes which the patients continue on with afterward!

Dr. Issels Cancer Program (The following information is excerpted from: Integrative Oncology, The Issels Foundation, www.issels.com)51

The Issels Treatment is based on the concept: * Malignant tumors do not develop in a healthy body with intact defense, repair and regulatory functions. * Cancer presents in a specific internal environment which promotes its growth. * This environment develops due to multiple causes and conditions which vary from one individual to the other. * These causes usually remain chronically active even after removal of the tumor by surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy. Hence, the high percentage of recurrence. * The Issels Treatment program places equal importance on the removal of the tumor itself and on the causes and conditions leading to the body's tendency to develop malignant tumors. Comprehensive Treatment The Issels Treatment is a very comprehensive integrative strategy for cancer of all types and stages, and always adjusted to the individual patient's needs. The treatment program consists of: Specific Components, which are directed at the elimination of the cancer cells and tumors such as surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, advanced targeted therapies, hormone therapy and cancer vaccines. Non- Specific Components, which aim to normalize the internal bodily environment, the "soil" on which the cancer has grown, and restore the body's ability to fight the disease.

Specific Treatments Vaccines: Extracorporeal photopheresis with the autologous dendritic cell vaccine, FDA- approved for cutaneous T- cell lymphoma due to research by Richard L. Edelson, Carole L. Berger et al. During the Extracorporeal Photopheresis the blood passes through an ultraviolet light chamber, which has an enormous immune boosting effect. In the cell separator white blood cells, the cells of the immune sytem, such as monocytes and lymphocytes, are separated from the blood which is returned to the body in a closed circuit. The separated monocytes are cultured outside the body into active dendritic cells. When these potent dendritic cells are injected into the body they have the potential to invoke an antitumor immune response. Coley's mixed bacterial vaccine: Research findings suggest that this vaccine activates the innate immune system, opens blockades in the body’s connective tissues, enhances the formation of the body’s own interferons, interleukins, colony stimulating factors, tumor necrosis factor, and other potent disease fighters. Issels’ Autologous vaccine: Issels autologous vaccine is cultured from the patient’s own blood that represents his/her own unique internal bodily environment. The preparation follows procedures that favor the development of antigenic peptides and other immunogenic compounds aiming to enhance the body’s cancer fighting mechanisms. Non- specific Treatment: The non- specific treatment is as important as the specific treatment. Clinical experience over many years has shown that it is essential in optimizing the effectiveness of the vaccines and other tumor- specific measures. The treatment is designed and aimed to –

 Remove Causal Factors  Repair Damages to Organs and Organ Systems  Restore Regulatory and Immune Mechanisms It helps attack cancer indirectly by eliminating the preconditions for its existence. It also contributes to prevent disease progression and recurrence. The Issels strategy includes standard treatments if indicated. The Issels Integrative Cancer Treatment has been been shown to enhance the effectiveness and reduce the toxic side effects of standard treatments, such as radiation and chemotherapy. The Non- Specific Treatment Components are natural substances and modalities with no or few side effects to some patients. They enhance each other by following a special treatment system developed over many years. They include, but are not limited to:  Nutritional immunotherapy primarily of organic foods (vegetables, freshly pressed vegetable juices, protein according to individual needs), is always adjusted to individual needs. It also includes  Intravenous nutrition and nutraceuticals, as well as antioxidants, minerals, trace elements, tissue salts, amino acids, herbal substances, as well as vitamins such as Vitamin C.  Co- Enzyme CO- Q10 has become known as powerful antioxidant. It has shown a strong antitumor effect in a breast cancer trial in Copenhagen, Denmark. Principal investigator Karl Folkers reports regression of liver and lung tumors in a current German trial. Recent studies conducted at the University of Miami's Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine suggest, according to research director Niven R. Narain, that CO- Q10 restores apoptotic potential (programmed cell death) to cancer cells without harming the healthy cells. In 2005, the National Cancer Institute in Washington (NCI) analyzed reports on CO- Q10 that appeared in the peer- reviewed scientific literature. The reports reveal Reference: Integrative Oncology, The Issels Foundation, www.issels.com

that CO- Q10 has been shown to lengthen the survival of patients with breast, prostate, pancreatic, lung, and colorectal cancer. Melatonin. Autohemotherapy, a preparation from the patient's own blood, helps boost the immune system. Enzymatic therapy improves digestion, the elimination of immune complexes and the breakdown of the fibrin coating of cancer cells. Oxidative therapies, such as Photoluminescence Therapy and Ozone Therapy improve cellular respiration and immunity. Glandulars help regenerate organs such as the liver, the thyroid, the thymus gland and other glands. Laetrile, also called Amygdalin or Vitamin B 17, has shown to attack cancer without the toxic side effects of chemotherapy. Polarizing solution, which is a mixture of glucose, potassium, and insulin (GKI) administered intravenously has shown to reverse tissue damage (edema) in normal tissue surrounding tumors, and to destabilize malignant growths by making them acid. This treatment was developed by Demetrio Sodi- Pallares, M.D. Phytotherapy with herbal medicinal products is administered according to individual requirements. Urea/Creatine Therapy as part of our treatment program has shown over several years to be an important alternative method of tumor debulking in various types of cancer. E. Danopoulos published in respected journals many provocative reports of tumor responses to synthetic urea and creatine.

Excerpt from the Report on his first of many visits to the Issels Hospital by John Anderson, M.D., Professor of Medicine Former Head and Chair of the Department of Medicine at King's College Hospital Medical School, University of London, England; Former Consultant to the World Health Organization on Oncology: There are three general conclusions to be drawn. 1. The first is that the therapy routine for primary and secondary cancer carried out at the Ringberg Clinic under Dr. Issels is unique. To my knowledge it is not used elsewhere in the form Dr. Issels prescribes at any other clinic. Based on a survey of the clinic and its patients and on statistical evidence about the survival of these patients, I am of the considered opinion that this is a new approach to cancer treatment and appears to be a considerable improvement on what is usually offered. 2. In essence the treatment is to encourage the normal mechanisms of the body which already deal with a large number of cancer cells to be so strengthened that they bring about a natural remission of the disease. Some of the cases I saw at the clinic would have been regarded as hopeless by physicians in the United Kingdom. My overall opinion is that the Issels approach to the treatment of cancer is a unique and pioneering solution to a very difficult problem (…). Source: http://www.issels.com/ 52

at the same time to restore the body's regulatory, repair and defense systems, of which the immune system is one important part. In general terms, some of these treatments work on the levels of the biochemical defense and help cancer cells undergo differentiation as encoded in the genes that cause them to die through programmed cell death called apoptosis. Other treatment modalities work on the levels of cell- mediated and humoral immunities. It is a proprietary program that is only available at the Issels Treatment Centers. The Issels Treatment strategy includes standard treatments when indicated. According to the comprehensive concept, however, cancer is considered a systemic disease from the onset and the tumor as its late stage symptom. Following this concept the Issels Treatment has two lines of approach which are of equal importance and complement each other. 1. A non- specific basic therapy aiming to eliminate causal factors, repair damages of the early stages, normalize the internal environment, and restore the body's regulatory, repair and defense mechanisms. 2. A specific therapy directed against the malignant tumor itself, such as surgery, radiation, chemo, hormone therapy, and cancer vaccines.

The NON- SPECIFIC BASIC THERAPY corresponds with the etiological path leading to the immuno- insufficiency and the cancer disease. It is modified to suit the individual patient's needs. It consists of:  Elimination of causal factors, such as head foci of infection including dental, alveolar and tonsillar foci, malnutrition, abnormal intestinal flora, fields of neural disturbance, physical and chemical exogenous factors, endogenous and psychological factors.  Desensitization of the organism which has been sensitized by causal factors by administration of autohemolysates and colloids.  Treatment of secondary damages, metabolic disturbances, the impaired detoxification and the resulting defense weakness, by general measures, such as nutritional immunotherapy, hyperpyrexia or fever therapy, oxidative therapy, enzymatic therapy, phytotherapy, neural therapy and organ therapy (glandulars), as well as substitution/supplementation according to individual requirements. The BASIC THERAPY is a long- term one without any toxic side effects and aims at the regeneration of the "big resistance," which comprises all the defense zones:

Dr. Issels is an able physician, a shrewd and penetrating clinician, whose principles of medicine I admire. He is a shrewd observer of clinical conditions and has probably had more practical experience with his six thousand patients at medically treating cancer than any one else. There can be no doubt that he is genuine in what he does and the results he gets. He has a good competent supporting medical and nursing staff and the staff/patient ratio is higher than that generally seen in the United Kingdom. My overall impression is that the clinic is well ordered and fulfills the best clinical traditions of medicine. 3. I am prepared to set up a double blind clinical trial in the Department of Medicine at King's to reproduce and test the Issels therapy regime as far as possible under the conditions under which I have observed it. He (Dr. Issels) is undoubtedly producing clinical remissions in patients who have been regarded as hopeless and left to fall back on their own resources. I also accept that even when he cannot produce a long remission he aims to allow the patient to live out his life in a worthwhile manner with more quality than would be possible otherwise.

1.The extracorporal zone consisting of the physiological obligatory microflora on mucous membranes which is responsible for the basic immunity of the organism. 2.The epithelial zone consisting of all epithelial surfaces which performs defense, filtration, excretion and absorption. 3.The lympho- reticulo defense zone which performs the important tasks of phagocytosis, antibody production and detoxification. On this zone, immunotherapy is mainly centered today. 4.The reticulo- histiocytary zone which is the pluripotent mesenchyme embracing almost half of the body weight. It has been neglected in cancer research and treatment, although it is of great importance to all defense processes due to its various functions: 

the stemcell function; the transit function that intervenes between all nerves, organ cells, blood, lymphatic and intestinal cells;  the homeostatic function;  the defense, detoxification and storage functions. These defense zones are successive, are closely interrelated and are under neurohormonal control. The blockade of only one function of one of these zones, for example of the excretion, or even the blockade of the control system such as the autonomic nervous system may contribute indirectly to a lowering of the defense potential. During treatment, it was repeatedly observed that by the elimination of head foci, or with a fever therapy a blockade of the neurohormonal functions was broken. Dr. Issels' cases revealed that even in an advanced stage of malignant disease an immune reaction with complete tumor remission can be achieved.

Reference: Integrative Oncology, The Issels Foundation, www.issels.com)51

101

Experience has shown that comprehensive immunotherapy opens up the following therapeutic possibilities:  Treatment of cancer of all kinds and stages offering a considerable chance of recovery even for patients in advanced stages that have exhausted all standard treatments.  Follow- up treatment to help prevent recurrence after standard cancer therapy through restoration of the patient's defense and repair functions (the World rate of recurrence after standard treatment is 50%).  Non- toxic preventive treatment for patients at risk, and those with precancerous diseases.  Preparatory treatment prior to surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy to reduce the risk of complications and in qualified cases, to render inoperable tumors operable. Treatment of chronic degenerative diseases which are untreatable by standard methods.

„Dr. Evers is one of the most eminent advocates of integrative medicine."

(~ 1950 AD) H. Ray Evans, M.D. Working Summary: Advocate of integrative medicine. His eclectic approach borrowed a variety of techniques from others; he apparently developed nothing new. Books: What Your Doctor Won't Tell You by Jane Heimlich (1990) (The following information is excerpted from: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA)68

This is the first mention, in this brief historical overview, of a person who was not a medical doctor. About the year 1905, a man named Evans in Cardigan, Wales, put together some herbs that people had used for years and gave it to one of his sons who had cancer. After that success, he and his sons gave it to neighbors, and their CANCERS WENT INTO REMISSION. Each time, they knelt and prayed earnestly for the Lord’s blessing. Prayer is POWERFUL, especially when combined with simple, natural remedies. By 1907, there had been enough success that the British Medical Journal printed two scathing attacks on the family and their efforts to help people. Rees Evans, one of the sons, had been treating cancer since 1919. Attacked by the medical societies, he requested an investigation in 1924. When asked for the names of 20 patients, he gave 30 names and addresses. The committee later reported that it could not find any of them. In response, Evans announced that they had not tried to locate them, and a number had reported the fact to him. The battle in England continued for years, and is far too lengthy to include here. Here is a description of one individual’s experience with the Evan’s treatment: Shortly after receiving a blow to her breast, a woman discovered a growth. After receiving no worthwhile help from a cancer specialist, she went to Evans. He told her that it might be healed in about 12 weeks; so then she agreed to a series of treatments. Reference: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA

103

Using a soft brush, he applied a liquid, made from his herbal mixture, to her breast. This brought sensations of penetration, burning and pulling; yet this was relatively painless. A new application of the liquid was made six days a week and the growth gradually rose to the surface and became hard and black. A lettuce leaf placed over the tumor turned black. On the twelfth week, THE ROOTS OF THE CANCER came out, leaving a crater underneath. Evans then treated that with another herbal solution. Gradually, this also healed, leaving only a small scar. When she showed her healed breast to the physician she had earlier gone to, he involuntarily exclaimed, "MIRACULOUS!" But, in order to keep the medical association from turning on him, the physician later denied that the malignancy, which he had earlier diagnosed as such, had ever been cancer. Although scorned by the English medical profession as unworthy of their notice, oddly enough, the Presbyterian Hospital in Newark, N.J., heard about the Rees Evans treatment and SUCCESSFULLY TESTED IT. Although no publicity was permitted in the United States, a now- defunct tabloid, the Picture Post, disclosed it to the public in September 1950. That same year, Evans came to the United States, at the invitation of the Presbyterian Hospital. By this time, he had already treated a thousand cancer patients. Diagnoses, treatment, and recoveries at the hospital were all done under the close observation of medical doctors and then published. This aroused the wrath of the British medical profession to a white heat, and they scornfully rejected the Newark report. But public interest was so great; they found it necessary to appoint a board of inquiry through Aneurin Bevan, British Minister of Health. Its final report was issued on June 14, 1952, and was carefully worded. Here are some excerpts: "It [the committee] did not examine patients under treatment since it considered that in most forms of cancer assessment of the results of treatment it is not possible until treatment has ended, and also since the technical details of applying any Reference: Alternative Cancer Remedies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA

particular treatment are irrelevant to the assessment of its value in treating cancer." Skin cancers were ignored, because the committee said they were "rodent ulcers" and not real malignancies. "Evidence of success in healing rodent ulcers throws no light on whether the same method will be useful in the treatment of cancers in general." As to the herbs themselves, in one brief paragraph their possible value was declared worthless. "Samples of the materials used by Mr. Rees Evans in treatment were analyzed and tested in experiments on animals. The committee was advised by the leading experts that the results obtained did not provide any indication for recommending further experiments." The report concluded that those of Evans’ patients who died did indeed die of cancer; and those who did not die, never had cancer! (Evans, like other practitioners of alternative cancer remedies, primarily worked with those who had been cut, chemicaled, or burned, and were so weakened they sought out Evans as a last resort.) The report was signed by four leading British medical dignitaries, including the president of the Royal Society and Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin. Repeatedly, Evans offered to demonstrate his methods in treating the sick to the committee, but his offers were declined. The Treatment Dr. Evers’ treatment was based on a variety of factors: nutrition, hyperbaric oxygen, the Koch vaccination, and an antioxidant Chelation therapy. He also used something called "magnetic field therapy." Laetrile, shark cartilage, and other items rounded out the program, which, after Evers’ death in 1990 at the age of 77, is carried on at his International Medical Center in El Paso, Texas and Jurez, Mexico, by Francisco Soto, M.D. Oddly enough; he sometimes performed biopsies during examinations of patients. Evers was one of the few to use a broader spectrum of alternative cancer remedies.

I'm probably more inclined to adopt many of the findings and demonstrated benefits of Ann Wigmore's research. She was evidently murdered for her success, unfortunately, but it was after her findings were outlined and then demonstrated for several decades. I'm not saying someone has to be murdered by the CIA in order to have credibility, of course, and I believe that we're finding ways to turn the tables on these murderers, too, so that perhaps none of us in the gifting movement will be killed for the work we're doing and the world order, itself, will rather be destroyed before long by humanity with our rising awareness and accountability. - [Ew 2009 Feb] Worms, misdiagnosed as cancer It was in August, 1961, shortly after I had taken possession of The Homestead, that a dispirited looking man, with drawn features and the typical chalk- like cancer skin, was brought to me by his wife.

(...) That night, a neighbor had given her a leaflet describing the successful use of wheatgrass and they had come to try this method. I explained that wheatgrass juice was mere nourishment, not a medicine, and could cure nothing. But it apparently helped Nature rebuild the body. I showed the woman how to grow wheatgrass, and thanking me for my gift of seed, the couple left. About six months later, on Tuesday, February 19th, the same car stopped in my driveway and an elderly man sprang out, ran up our front steps, and burst into the house. "You don't know me," he exclaimed with a laugh, holding out his hand. "I'm the human wreck who slumped into that chair there when my wife brought me here last fall." I could hardly believe it. The chalk- like skin was gone, he was pink- cheeked, spoke with vigor, and his eyes were shining. His wife had suggested he come to tell us that he had gone back to work the previous day, the first time in seven years. He told how his wife had planted the wheat seed the very afternoon they arrived home, and within a week was giving him four drinks of wheatgrass juice a day in addition to the other necessary dietary changes. On January 20th he had felt so good that they had gone down to the Beth Israel Hospital for a re- check. The doctors appeared puzzled by their findings. They conceded he looked healthy, carefully studied his old charts, and examined him with interest, but made no comment. He thanked me again and left, and on his next visit, four months later, showed continued improvement. There seemed to be no sign of leukemia. - Why Suffer.

"Benjamin Gruskin, M.D., in 1940 was published in The American Journal of Surgery recommending that chlorophyll be used for its antiseptic benefits. Dr. Gruskin`s article suggested numerous clinical uses for chlorophyll including: "to clear up foul- smelling odors, neutralize strep infections, heal wounds, hasten skin grafting, cure chronic sinusitis, overcome chronic inner ear inflammation and infections, reduce varicose veins and heal leg ulcers, eliminate impetigo and other scabby eruptions, heal rectal sores, successfully treat inflammation of the uterine cervix, get rid of parasitic vaginal infections, reduce typhoid fever and cure advanced pyorrhea in many cases." A recent study in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that supplementing with the natural antioxidants found in wheatgrass "holds great promise in overcoming the ill effects of oxygen toxicity," and that it decreases oxidative stress. In addition both wheatgrass and chlorophyll ointment have successfully been used to treat skin disorders such as skin ulcers, impetigo, and eczema. Wheatgrass is considered a "super food" by some and has a large number of beneficial aspects. The health benefits of wheatgrass and chlorophyll appear to be tremendous with scientific study and research continually finding more benefits." - Sheryl Walters, Chlorophyll in Wheatgrass Proven to Fight Cancer, 2009, NaturalNews, Exclusive / NaturalNews Exclusive, http://www.naturalnews.com All Rights Reserved 56

1. Health Benefit #1: Wheatgrass Builds Blood: Many health experts including Dr Young (pH Miracle) and Steve Meyerowitz (Nature’s Finest Medicine) have highlighted that the chlorophyll molecule in wheatgrass is almost identical to the hemoglobin molecule in human blood. The only difference is that the central element in chlorophyll is magnesium and in hemoglobin it is iron. Due to this inherent similarity the human body can easily transform chlorophyll into hemoglobin increasing the red blood cell count as well as the blood’s capacity to deliver oxygen and other nutrients to the body’s cells (Hagiwara, 1985). Chlorophyll has been shown to build red blood cells quickly, normalize blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways though out the body, destroy poisonous carbon dioxide, release free oxygen and promote higher metabolism and stimulated enzyme systems. On top of all of these benefits, consuming chlorophyll from wheatgrass is a highly effective way to alkalize the blood and energize the body! 2. Health Benefit #2: Wheatgrass Cleanses the Body: Wheatgrass is an extremely beneficial food in terms of both its cleansing capabilities. The contents of wheatgrass juice and powder (green drink) are reported to be within the region of approximately 100 separate elements with scientists dubbing it a ‘complete food’.

"If we look at oxygen as a bullet to kill cancer cells, then we should look at wheatgrass as a shotgun blast at treating cancer. The number of ways it deals with cancer is incredible. First of all it contains chlorophyll, which has almost the same molecular structure as hemoglobin. Chlorophyll increases hemoglobin production, meaning more oxygen gets to the cancer. Selenium and laetrile are also in wheatgrass, both are anticancer. Chlorophyll and selenium also help build the immunity system. Furthermore, wheatgrass is one of the most alkaline foods known to mankind. And the list goes on." - Webster Kehr, www.cancertutor.com 57 "superoxide dismutase (SOD) - which converts two superoxide anions into a molecule of hydrogen peroxide and one of oxygen" - Webster Kehr, www.cancertutor.com 57 "In 1938, the great cancer scientist and researcher Paul Gerhardt Seeger, M.D., revealed that the true cause of the cancerous degeneration of a cell results from the destruction of a specific respiratory enzyme, cytochrome oxidase. In other words, cancer in the cell is caused by disturbance of oxygen utilization, or cell respiration." - Webster Kehr, www.cancertutor.com 57

According to ‘The Wheatgrass Book’ (Wigmore, 1985), just 140g of fresh wheatgrass offers the same nutritional value as over 3kg’s of fresh green vegetables! Wheatgrass is a great source of vitamins B, C, E and carotene which are hugely effective in destroying and eliminating free radicals and cleansing the body. Wheatgrass is also highly regarded for its ability to cleanse the blood, organs and gastrointestinal tract. Because it is also high in saponin, wheatgrass offers excellent support to the lymphatic system, helping to carry away hundreds and thousands of toxins from the cells of the body. Kulvinskas (Survival into the 21st Century, 1975) wheatgrass helps to ‘detoxify the body by increasing the elimination of hardened mucous, crystallized acids and solidified, decaying faecal matter…It is the fastest, surest way to eliminate internal waste and provide an optimum nutritional environment’. These are just some of the cleansing benefits of wheatgrass, and I have barely scratched the surface with regards to listing its nutritional content. Put most simply, whether you are looking to undertake a formal cleanse, or simply try to add more nutrition to your diet – these reasons alone are enough to consider adding wheatgrass to your daily lifestyle.

"In a study reported in the journal Mutation Research comparing the anticancer effect of chlorophyll to betacarotene, and vitamins A, C and E, chlorophyll was proven to be a more effective antimutagen than any of them." - Webster Kehr, www.cancertutor.com 57 "Both chlorophyll (as in wheatgrass juice) and hemoglobin (red blood cells) are molecularly similar. The only actual difference is that the central element in chlorophyll is magnesium and in hemoglobin it is iron. Chlorophyll has the ability to break down poisonous carbon dioxide and release free oxygen." - Webster Kehr, www.cancertutor.com 57 Food habits and pancreatic cancer: a case- control study of the Francophone community in Montreal, Canada. "In a population- based case- control study of pancreatic cancer and nutrition among the Francophone population of Montreal (Quebec, Canada), a total of 179 cases and 239 controls matched for age, sex, and language (French) were interviewed between 1984 and 1988. Data on food habits, methods of food preparation and preservation, and related information were obtained through a questionnaire. (...) The results of this study suggest that food habits may play an important role in the etiology of cancer of the pancreas among French Canadians in Montreal, whereas other food habits may reduce the risk of this disease." - Ghadirian P, Baillargeon J, Simard A, Perret C., Hôpital Hôtel- Dieu de Montréal, Department of Nutrition, Faculty of Medicine, University of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. 58

3. Health Benefit #3: Wheatgrass Has High Amino Acid Content: You may have heard the expression before that – amino acids are the building blocks of protein. They are absolutely essential to our growth and cell regeneration. It is the astonishingly high amino acid content in wheatgrass that is leading to many bodybuilders and gym- goers incorporating fresh or powdered wheatgrass juice into their daily routine. Wheatgrass juice is a complete protein and contains, amongst others, the following amino acids: arginine, serine, absenisic, lysine, aspartic acid, glycine, alanine, methionine, leucine, tryptophane, phenylalanine, and valine. 4. Health Benefit #4: Wheatgrass Fights and Protects Against Illness: Organic wheatgrass powders and juices are an extremely effective way of boosting the body’s immune system to fight against and recover from illnesses and ailments. Wheatgrass is a great source of beta carotene, contains most of the B vitamins and vitamins C, E, H and K, and also contains over 90 different minerals and 19 amino acids. It also contains several active enzymes which play a major role in breaking down fats, undertaking biological functions and assist hugely in weight loss. Of the 90 minerals found, many of these are very alkalizing and include calcium, magnesium, Reference: Wheatgrass Benefits, by Ross Bridgeford, Energise Alkaline Diet & Natural Health Blog, http://www.energiseforlife.com

Is cooked food dangerous? "(…) Research has emerged showing a direct link between a chemical called acrylamide and womb and ovarian cancer in women. Acrylamide is produced when we roast, fry or bake our food. If you are still reeling from last month's news that bacon and sausages cause cancer, then the idea that the future holds only raw beansprouts may seem a bit much. However, it appears that the more crispily we cook food particularly starchy foods, such as potatoes - the more acrylamide is produced. The University of Maastricht study found that women who consumed 40 micrograms of acrylamide a day (the same as in a 32g packet of crisps) had double the risk of cancer than women who ate the least." Source: Lucy Atkins, The Guardian, 2007, www.guardian.co.uk 59 Diet & Nutrition: Acrylamide Study Suggests Breast Cancer Link "This is an important study because it’s the first to measure acrylamide adducts," says epidemiologist Lorelei Mucci, an assistant professor at the Harvard School of Public Health. Nonetheless, the study should be repeated in larger numbers of nonsmoking women, according to Mucci, because more than half the cases and controls were current or former smokers. "The big public health question here is whether the amount of acrylamide in foods is enough to lead to cancer," Mucci says. It is possible that other chemical compounds formed along with acrylamide may be the culprit in any cancer link. "Acrylamide- hemoglobin may be a biomarker for other carcinogenic chemicals formed during the heating of foods," cautions Olesen." - Carol Potera, Diet & Nutrition: Acrylamide Study Suggests Breast Cancer Link, PMCID: PMC2290981 60

potassium, sodium and iron. Many of the health benefits of wheatgrass stem from the fact that it is a living food. Being highly anti- bacterial, consuming wheatgrass will help to ALKALISE and detoxify the lymph and blood cells, helping the body to rebuild and transport toxins out of the body quickly and effectively. Again, coming back to the chlorophyll content of wheatgrass â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this can protect the body from carcinogens more effectively than any other food. Studies conducted on animals have shown that wheatgrass consumption has reduced the absorption of a number of very serious carcinogens whilst strengthening cells, detoxifying the liver and neutralizing polluting elements within the blood.

Wheat grass juice may improve hematological toxicity related to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients: a pilot study. "Myelotoxicity induced by chemotherapy may become life- threatening. Neutropenia may be prevented by granulocyte colony- stimulating factors (GCSF), and epoetin may prevent anemia, but both cause substantial side effects and increased costs. According to nonestablished data, wheat grass juice (WGJ) may prevent myelotoxicity when applied with chemotherapy. In this prospective matched control study, 60 patients with breast carcinoma on chemotherapy were enrolled and assigned to an intervention or control arm. Those in the intervention arm (A) were given 60 cc of WGJ orally daily during the first three cycles of chemotherapy, while those in the control arm (B) received only regular supportive therapy. Premature termination of treatment, dose reduction, and starting GCSF or epoetin were considered as "censoring events." Response rate to chemotherapy was calculated in patients with evaluable disease. Analysis of the results showed that five censoring events occurred in Arm A and 15 in Arm B (P = 0.01). Of the 15 events in Arm B, 11 were related to hematological events. No reduction in response rate was observed in patients who could be assessed for response. Side effects related to WGJ were minimal, including worsening of nausea in six patients, causing cessation of WGJ intake. In conclusion, it was found that WGJ taken during FAC chemotherapy may reduce myelotoxicity, dose reductions, and need for GCSF support, without diminishing efficacy of chemotherapy. These preliminary results need confirmation in a phase III study." - Division of Oncology, Rambam Medical Center and Faculty of Medicine, Technion- Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 31096, Israel. 61

"Dr. Kelley is a true legend in the world of nutritional therapy."

(~ 1960 AD) William Donald Kelley, D.D.S., M.S., John Beard DSc, Francis Pottenger, M. D, and Royal Lee, D.D.S. Dr. William Kelley (1925-2005), a dentist in Texas, the head of The Kelley Research Foundation, fellow of The International College of Applied Nutrition, member of The American Dental Association and many other dental societies and nutritional groups.

Recommended Literature: One Answer To Cancer by Dr. Kelly (1977), One answer to cancer: A way to win the cancer war by Dr. Kelly (1982), Dr. Kelley's Self Test for the Different Metabolic Types by Dr. Kelly (1977), Cancer: Curing the Incurable Without Surgery, Chemotherapy, or Radiation by William Donald Kelley, One Answer to Cancer by Dr. Kelley, The Kelley Program: The Science of Optimum Health (1980), One Answer to Cancer (A do-ityourself booklet) (1997), Kelley metabolic ecology program by Dr. Wolcott (1982).

William Kelley was born in 1925 in Winfield, Kansas. In 1962, when he was a practicing dentist in Texas, he developed a disease involving depression, weight loss, and body pains. Using X-rays, his doctor diagnosed him with pancreatic cancer and gave him only months to live telling him that no treatment was available. As the tumor was close to the surface, he could tell by its size how it was doing. First, at his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 117

"Cancer can be attacked directly by metabolic enzymes and then be assisted by the enzyme diet programme. The second greatest cancer breakthrough of the 20th century is the metabolic organic effect on malignant tumours of correcting the body fluid pH to a nonacidic pH 7.1 to 7.5. A neutral pH 7.0 resists cancer formation. An acid body fluid pH of 6.44 and below permits tumours to biochemically become malignant. At pH 7.5 cancer may become inactive; at 8.5 tumours may disintegrate."- Dr Carson. "Raise the metabolic enzymes in the blood and you have a powerhouse of dissolving solutions that may engulf any unhealthy conditions at any place in the body."- Carson Pierce, N.D. "Condemned to in-operable stomach cancer 24 years ago, I discovered a safe, natural way to save my life." - Carson Pierce, N.D.(1995). "I have never known anyone in 20 years to metastasize or affect another secondary area after the enzymes were started." - Pierce. "There is not ONE doctor in the world today who treats cancer! Historically we are repeating the very same lesson we learned in 1930." 68 - William D. Kelley, D.D.S., M.S. "The person gets cancer because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not properly metabolising the protein in his diet." 68 - William D. Kelley, D.D.S., M.S.

suggestion, Dr. Kelley adopted a healthy, vegetarian diet. This helped greatly. Then he went on raw foods, and that helped even more. Afterwards he took digestive enzymes and found that large doses of pancreatic enzymes helped even more. At a later time, he used diet and alternative medical methods as proposed by Max Gerson to "cure" his cancer. Obviously it worked, and obviously Dr. Kelley got inspired by this approach towards cancer because he HIMSELF HEALED HIMSELF OF CANCER. (The following information is excerpted from: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA) 66

Dr. Kelley’s Treatment: Having solved his own problem, he began telling his dental patients about it— and more people were helped. But he found that some could not tolerate a total raw food diet. The cancer method formulated by Dr. Kelley parallels the Gerson program in a number of ways. Kelley placed an emphasis on fresh fruits and vegetables, plus liver detoxification via coffee enemas. He has taken the nutritional therapy of Max Gerson and carried it a few steps forward formulating his own cancer 118

"Dr. Kelley was aggressively persecuted and oppressed during his years of treating cancer patients. His success was unparalleled in conventional medicine. Personally, both my brother and my chiropractor went to him; both were resolved of their disease. (…) As the writer of this preface, I can say that the truth of Dr. Kelley’s paradigm is both preventive and healing. I wish you God’s speed and hope that the truth will set you free. " - Greg Stirling, Vancouver, British Columbia. March, 1997 "One wintry night our home was burned to the ground. All was lost including the older stored medical records and our pets... McQueen frequently called me on my FBI-tapped telephone. In one call made to me, he stated in his famous hero’s voice, "I’m going to blow the lid off this Cancer Racket." This of course freaked out the Cancer Establishment. The FBI then leaked it out to the National Enquirer scandal sheet of the CIA. This exposure was to discredit me. McQueen was then constantly watched and harassed by the FBI, CIA and the Media. During the surgery, the skin over the liver was cut open and the encapsulated, dead tumor fell out on the operating table. After surgery McQueen had a talk with me. During the night a government agent came into his room posing as a physician on duty and injected McQueen with a blood clotting medication, which was the cause of death. - William D. Kelley, D.D.S., 68 M.S.

approach that included pancreatic enzymes, an individualized diet of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, and detoxification including coffee enemas. Furthermore, Kelley had two aspects which Gerson lacked, or at least, does not emphasize: sizeable amounts of RAW MEAT in certain diets and excess amounts of ALMONDS each day. Kelley’s program included metabolic typing in order to provide a patientspecific dietary program. He also used NEUROLOGICAL STIMULATION by means of chiropractic adjustments. VITAMIN, MINERAL, AND ENZYME SUPPLEMENTS formed a part of his program. Kelley eventually added meat to the diets of some of the patients. Until 1977, the Merck Medical Manual, considered to be the standard of medical practice, recommended COFFEE ENEMAS as a useful method of detoxification and relief of constipation. Yet Kelley’s critics focused on coffee enemas as the primary flaw in his approach. Kelley was eventually taken to court for practicing medicine without a license. A federal judge ordered him to never again give anyone directions to the remission of cancer. Since that event, Kelley refuses to speak to anyone about the subject.

"There is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - one’s good health!" - William D. Kelley, D.D.S., M.S. "Since the second decade of this century there has existed an effective, powerful cancer treatment—Enzyme Therapy (ET), based upon this theory (Beard’s), and which is nontoxic, nonmutilating, and highly successful….that ET was not perfected and made universal, is one of the great mysteries of modern times; possibly the greatest of all time." - Dr Richards, MB, BcH. "Cancer can be attacked directly by metabolic enzymes and then be assisted by the enzyme diet programme. The second greatest cancer breakthrough of the 20th century is the metabolic organic effect on malignant tumors of correcting the body fluid pH to a nonacidic pH 7.1 to 7.5.

"Raw almonds are a very good source of protein and should be used as directed 10 almonds at breakfast and 10 almonds at lunch!" - William D. Kelley, D.D.S., M.S in One Answer to Cancer. 67

Kelley’s work is carried on today (in the 1990s) by a SloanKettering trained oncologist, Nicholas Gonzales, M.D., in New York City. While still in medical school, Gonzales first learned of Kelley’s work. Visiting him, Gonzales was amazed at the extensive detailed records of recoveries from advanced, metastic cancer—which had survived 10 years or more. [Note: Dr. Kelley’s house was burned down and he was poisoned numerous times. When Robert W. Maver, a Mutual Life Insurance executive, learned about the program, he urged that research be done. Maver said the program could save the life insurance industry millions of dollars. But nothing was done about his recommendation.]

"At least 86% of all cancer conditions could be adequately treated and/or prevented by diet and pancreatic enzymes. Cancer is a symptom of inadequate and deficient protein metabolism. The real problem is protein metabolism, not cancer. Cancer is only a symptom telling those who would listen that their protein metabolism is in very serious trouble. Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy only treat the symptoms of cancer. " 68 - William D. Kelley, D.D.S., M.S. "First, the stricken cancer victim and their family members have been so deceived by the Establishment that they are completely brainwashed and put in overwhelming fear." 68 - William D. Kelley, D.D.S., M.S.

"In reality, a person very rarely dies of cancer. It is always starvation and toxicity. As the malignant tumor grows it gives off waste products, which must be eliminated through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. These waste products accumulate and gradually overburden the body. Most persons then die of toxemia." 68 - William D. Kelley, D.D.S., M.S. "First, we fall victim, not only to cancer, but also to the very clever brainwashing of our number one ENEMY. The Medical Establishment and the unending barrage of the conspiracy with the MEDIA and support groups such as the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, the American Medical Association and an unlimited number of organizations that make their income from the crumbs that fall from the establishment’s table." 68 - William D. Kelley, D.D.S., M.S.

The Concept of Dr. Kelley’s Therapy (The following information is excerpted from: Alternative Phillipines Cancer Center, http://www.cancercenter.ph/. More information in Dr. Kelley’s book: One Answer To Cancer‘by Dr. Kelly) 67

The Kelley protocol is simple, based on the paradigm that cancer is caused by a NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCY. Correct the deficiency and you CURE THE CANCER. The patient is deficient in pancreatic enzymes and in the nutrition needed for a strong immune system. The patient is given mega doses of pancreatic enzymes and mega doses of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to boost the immune system. Cancer cells have an outer coating with a negative ion charge; the immune system's white blood cells also have a negative ion charge. So no matter how strong you make the immune system, it cannot kill the cancer cell, because two negatives repel each other. Kelley's genius was in reasoning out that since the outer coating of the cancer cell is made of animal protein, animal PROTEIN- DIGESTING ENZYMES produced by the pancreas will digest it and remove the negative ion charge, leaving the cancer cell open to attack by the immune system.

Their primary goals are money and control. What big conglomerate will get the blessings of the Big Establishment? Nothing happens on the world scene that is not planned and designed by The Big Establishment. After 30 years of planning Metabolic Programs for some 33,000 Counselees and developing the scientific Paradigm for the PROPER CURE AND TREATMENT OF MALIGNANCY, I would like to share some of the conclusions." 68 - William D. Kelley, D.D.S., M.S.

Cancer develops when a person's pancreatic enzyme production becomes deficient, because of physical damage to the pancreas (17% of cases) or a lifetime of eating hard to digest foods which have worn out the pancreatic cells producing the enzymes (83% of cases). All cooked foods are hard to digest because anything cooked above 40Â°C loses its own enzymes. Kelley reasoned that if a person's pancreas can no longer produce sufficient enzymes, the key to curing is to supplement with mega doses of pancreatic enzymes from outside sources, the richest of which is pork pancreas, while boosting the immune system with mega doses of vitamins, minerals and other food supplements. And that is how he cured himself and the thousands of terminal cancer patients during the 43 years that he survived. You will know that you no longer have enough enzymes to digest food, and therefore none left over to digest cancer cells, when your body feels bloated all the time. Undigested food ferments and generates gas. You will burp and fart a lot, and can have frequent heart burn and shortness of breath as the gas rises and presses against the heart and lungs. When this happens, cancer is not far behind. Time to change your lifestyle and eating habits, and take preventive doses of pancreatic enzymes to prevent cancer from developing.

"From the beginning of time, diabetes was a death sentence. In 1911 professor Scott discovered and documented the cure for Diabetes. All Physicians had only treated the results of diabetes, such as heart, liver and kidney damage, gangrene and blindness, but not diabetes. Everything went along the same as usual, diabetic patients dying, until the 1920's when Dr. Scott developed and standardized the blood test for diabetes. During this period, the Medical Establishment in their pompous ignorance and diabolical greed, murdered Dr. Scott's wife and only son. The Eli Lilly Co. was given the sole and only monopoly for the manufacture and sale of insulin, by the Big Establishment, which controls all monopolies. Lilly's problem was, they could not make insulin. Therefore by stealth, deceit and conspiracy, a Lilly conspirator confiscated Scott's procedures and technique for production of insulin. The Medical Establishment then forced Sir Dr. Frederick Banting to accept a Doctor of Medicine degree that he did not want and in which he had no interest. Next the Establishment gave the Nobel prize to Banting (a very honorable man) and Best (not so honorable) to cover up Lilly's theft of Scott's scientific discovery. Thus the Big Establishment conferred credibility upon Eli Lilly and Company. Lilly has had the monopoly on insulin ever since, making hundreds of millions of dollars down through the years." 68 - William D. Kelley, D.D.S., M.S.

The Kelley paradigm centers around the reality that a cancer cell is nothing more than a trophoblastic placental cell growing in the wrong place. If you look at both cells under the same microscope, you will find that they are identical. The startling significance to this is: without the cancer cell there would be no human race! How is this so? More than 100 years ago, a Scottish maiden with cancer got pregnant. By the time the baby was born, she was cancer free. The news spread like wildfire, and reportedly all the maidens in Scotland now wanted to get pregnant. A Scottish embryologist of the University of Edinburgh, Dr. John Beard, researched the phenomenon, and found the maiden got cured of her cancer because during her pregnancy, she had two pancreas, her own and the baby's. In 1999 the same phenomenon happened to a 29- year old Filipina in Metro Manila. She was 4 months pregnant and had bladder cancer. Conventional doctors took out as much of the tumor mass as they could, but said they could not take it all out and could not give her chemotherapy or radiation because it would kill the baby, but the cancer was so aggressive that it could kill her and the baby before the baby was born.

"The only accepted legal medical diagnosis of cancer is by biopsy. This is not 100% accurate, for there are false positives as well as false negative biopsies. We, that is you and I, are not permitted to make a diagnosis of cancer. Nor are we permitted by law to use any system of diagnosis except biopsy for cancer diagnosis. The Medical Establishment tightly controls the diagnosis of cancer." - William D. Kelley, D.D.S., M.S. 68 "DO NOT TAKE ANY VACCINATIONS.

me?! I thought the baby would kill me!" After month of feeling scared and desperate, she said, "For the first time, I have hope!" But for the next step, husband and wife decided to go to Stanford since they already had a confirmed appointment there and felt it would be a waste not to take it. The Stanford doctors confirmed what the Philippine doctors had said, that nothing more could be done. So husband and wife then went to Kansas to see Dr. Kelley. They came home with a Balikbayan box full of Kelley's enzymes and nutritional supplements. Five month later, the wife gave birth to a healthy baby girl, and both mother and daughter were cancer free. Here's how Dr. Beard explains it: When a female egg is fertilized, the zygote drops into the uterus and generates germ cells which not only evolve into the tissues of the growing fetus, but also generate trophoblastic cells to form the placenta. Without the placenta, the zygote would fall right out of the uterus. Like a true cancer cell, the placenta metastasizes and eats itself into the wall of the uterus, growing very rapidly to accommodate the growing fetus. Like a cancer cell, it develops its own little blood vessel network to feed itself. But in the 8th week of pregnancy, the placenta stops growing, If it didn't, continuous growth would kill the mother. What stop's it? In the 8th week THE BABY'S PANCREAS STARTS TO FUNCTION! Of the many enzymes produced by the pancreas, two (TRIPSIN and CHYMOTRYPSIN) digest animal protein. They digest the outer protective coating of the trophoblastic cell, exposing it to attack by the immune system, stopping its further growth. In the 8th month of pregnancy, when the baby is fully formed, excess germ cells migrate to the baby's gonads (ovaries for the female, testes for the male), there to be stored for when the baby, as an adult, begets babies of its own. But only 80% make it to Reference: http://www.cancercenter.ph/. One Answer To Cancerâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC; by Dr. Kelly

124

the gonads by the time the baby is born. The remaining 20%, about 3 billion cells, are scattered all over the body, with about 2 cells for every pinhead. These cells are used to repair injured tissues. When an injury occurs, say to the breast due to repeated mammogram's, to the lungs due to smoking, or to the colon due to putrefying red meats and stored up fecal matter, or anywhere else due to toxins or parasites or whatever, the area is flooded with estrogen, activating germ cells to repair the injury. (Germ cells nowadays are called stem cells). Unfortunately, true to nature, activated germ cells also generate trophoblastic cells. But just like the placenta in pregnancy, the trophoblastic cells are stopped from becoming cancerous growths if pancreatic enzyme production is sufficient not only to digest food but also have enough left over to digest cancer cells. Years of eating hard to digest foods (cooked food, meats, dairy products, and processed foods) wear out the cells of the pancreas. Some 83% of pancreatic enzyme deficiencies are due to this. The rest is due to birth defects, disease and accidents damaging the pancreas.

Dr. Kelley Protocol (The following information is excerpted from: OPTIONS - The Alternative Cancer Therapy Book (1993) by Richard Walters, http://educate- yourself.org) 69

Dr. William Donald Kelley: Over a twenty- five year period, Dr. William Donald Kelley, a dentist by training, developed a complex approach to treating many chronic and degenerative diseases, including cancer. The three main elements of his metabolic program are NUTRITION, DETOXIFICATION, and SUPPLEMENTS OF PANCREATIC ENZYMES. Although the controversial Kansas- born practitioner was condemned as a charlatan by the orthodox medical establishment, thousands; of severely ill patients sought his advice and followed his program, many with reported good results. Today, a number of practitioners claim to be using the Kelley regimen, though whether they actually are is open to question. Interest in Kelley's therapy has increased dramatically in recent years, largely due to the work of Nicholas Gonzalez, a New York City physician who treats cancer patients in advanced or terminal stages using a modified version of the Kelley program. A graduate of Cornell University Medical School, Dr. Gonzalez undertook a five - year case study of Kelley's own cancer patients who had done well on the program. Gonzalez's 500- page study was prepared under the sponsorship of Robert Good, M.D., Ph.D., then president of Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center. It is "widely regarded as the finest case review ever conducted concerning an alternative cancer therapy," according to Misinformation From OTA on Unconventional Cancer Treatments, by Robert E. Houston. "Gonzalez has given us convincing evidence that DIET AND NUTRITION produce long- term remission in cancer patients almost all of whom were beyond conventional help," wrote the late Harold Ladas, Ph.D., a biologist and former professor at Hunter College. "Because the cases [in Gonzalez's study] represent a wide variety of cancers, the implication is that the paradigm has wide applicability to cancer treatment. Reference: OPTIONS - The Alternative Cancer Therapy Book (1993) by Richard Walters

126

...What should happen is that ACS [Americn Scancer Society] or NCI [National Cancer Institute] should immediately follow up with a half million dollar study to evaluate the rest of Kelley's cancer patients. But don't hold your breath," added Ladas, who concluded, "The evidence is in, and it is stunning. Kelley is vindicated." Cancer & Protein Digestion: William Kelley held that a root cause of cancer is the body's inability to metabolize (digest and utilize) protein. "The person gets cancer because he's not properly metabolizing the protein in his diet," said Dr. Kelley. "Then, to make matters worse, the tumor has such a high metabolism that it uses up much of the food which is eaten." If a person's disordered protein metabolism is not corrected, Kelley continued, "it will give rise to more tumors in the future, even if the first one is successfully removed. This, by the way, is the unfortunate reason why so many seemingly successful cancer operations end up in recurrences a year or two later. The tumor was removed, but the cause- improper protein metabolism- remained." Dr. Kelley linked faulty metabolism to a deficiency of pancreatic enzymes, which he regarded as a FUNDAMENTAL CAUSE of cancer. He believed that certain pancreatic enzymes, especially those that are proteolytic (protein- digesting) enzymes, are the body's first line of defense against malignancy. This theory stands in marked contrast to conventional medicine, which holds that the immune system, with its natural killer cells, protects people against cancer. As every biology student learns, the pancreas releases enzymes directly into the small intestine to aid digestion. But Kelley maintained that the pancreas also secretes enzymes into the bloodstream, where they circulate, reaching all body tissues and killing cancer cells by digesting them. Studies in the clinical literature lend support to this theory, first proposed by Dr. John Beard, a Scottish embryologist working at the turn of the century. Reference: OPTIONS - The Alternative Cancer Therapy Book (1993) by Richard Walters

127

Mineral Imbalance & Immunity: Imbalance of mineral metabolism is another condition that allows malignancy to occur, according to Dr. Kelley. He identified MINERAL IMBALANCE as a root cause of the breakdown of the immune system. Additionally, he said, cancer cells produce 1. immune- blocking factors and 2. seem to generate an electromagnetic force field that inhibits the proper response of the immune system. The Kelley anticancer program combines 1. THERAPEUTIC NUTRITION, 2. SUPPLEMENTS INTENDED TO DESTROY CANCER CELLS, and 3. VIGOROUS DETOXIFICATION OF THE BODY. Ten Metabolic Types: Kelley divided people into what he called ten metabolic types, with slow- oxidizing vegetarians at one extreme and fast- oxidizing carnivores at the other. Each person is different, he asserted, not only in nutritional needs but also in food utilization. For each of the ten different metabolic types, a different nutritional program was recommended. An individualized diet was tailored to match the metabolic character of each patient, taking into account his or her physiology , neurological and physical make- up, basic metabolic rate, and personality. Some common threads ran through the diets, however. The consumption of raw, organic fruits and vegetables was emphasized, while protein intake was reduced considerably in order to to preserve the enzymes needed to digest the fruits and vegetables. Supplements: In addition to following a diet,. Kelley's patients also took up to 150 supplement pills per day, including pancreatic enzymes, vitamins and minerals, and concentrates of raw beef or organs and glands, believed by Kelley to contain tissue- specific growth factors, hormones, natural stimulants, and "protective" molecules. Reference: OPTIONS - The Alternative Cancer Therapy Book (1993) by Richard Walters

128

A direct antitumor effect has been observed repeatedly in patients on various metabolic therapies who receive enzymes either orally or by injection. As the enzyme "digests" the tumor, large amounts of cellular debris are released into the bloodstream and surrounding tissues, according to Kelley. Detoxification: These breakdown products from cancer cells are foreign to the normal body and can be very toxic, he maintained. Even though the liver and kidney can filter these substances out of the bloodstream, the wastes from tumor destruction form so quickly during enzyme therapy that the body's normal detoxification processes may become overloaded. To assist their bodies in detoxification, Kelley's patients periodically discontinued their enzymes and other supplements for several days. This rest period, Kelley believed, allows the liver and kidneys to catch up with the body's load of tumor byproducts. Coffee Enemas: As at second aid in detoxification, Kelley advised all his patients to take at least one coffee enema daily. His reasoning was that coffee enemas clean out the liver and gallbladder and help the body get rid of the toxins produced during tumor breakdown. During a coffee enema, claimed Kelley, the caffeine that is rapidly absorbed in the large intestine flows quickly into the liver. He held that in high enough concentrations, caffeine causes the liver and gallbladder to contract vigorously, releasing large amounts of stored wastes into the intestinal tract and greatly aiding elimination. Kelley also believed that enemas are important in stimulating the immune system, since most waste products eliminated by detoxification are enzyme inhibitors. Frequent enemas prevent the suppression of protein- digesting enzymes. These enzymes can break down the cancer cells' fibrin (protein) coats, making the cancer cells more

vulnerable to the immune system. Nonorthodox doctors other than Kelley, among them Dr. Max Gerson, have recommended coffee enemas. Organ Flushes: The original Kelley program also included purges to cleanse the liver, gallbladder, intestines, kidneys, and lungs. Like many other metabolic therapists, Kelley believed that the functioning of these organs is severely impaired in the cancer patient. Colonic irrigations, liver and gallbladder flushes, and controlled sweating accomplished the cleansing tasks. Kelley also often recommended some form of manipulative therapy, such as chiropractic adjustment or osteopathic manipulation, to stimulate nervated nerves. The Spiritual Component: A frequently overlooked aspect of the Kelley system is its spiritual component. Kelley called his approach metabolic ecology, taking into account the cancer patient's total environment- physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. He urged the patient to "accept the fact that you are afflicted with a symptom (malignant cancer) and that recovery is possible. Establish a faith in a power greater than yourself and know that with His help you can regain health and harmony. Patients were encouraged to conduct a searching self- analysis and to eliminate negative behavioral patterns and emotions. The Kelly Regimen: The rigorous Kelley regimen is not easy. It requires SELFDISCIPLINE and a STRONG WILL to alter established dietary and other habits (...).

Life- Building with Kelley’s Autonomic Typing (The following information is excerpted from: The Metabolic Typing Diet by William Linz Wolcott, 2002) 70

Dr. Kelley turned to the work of two of the century’s leading pioneers in nutritional science: Francis Pottenger, M.D., and Royal Lee, D.D.S. Pottenger was a physician who practiced nutritional therapy and Lee was a dentist and the founder of Standard Process, one of the world’s best- known vitamin companies. In the 1930s and ‘40s both men conducted groundbreaking research with the ANS [Autonomic Nervous System]. They recognized that people have unique dietary requirements, and they discovered that the ANS holds very important clues that can be used to predict what types of foods and nutrients people need. As you may know, the nervous system is divided into two parts: The CEREBROSPINAL division and the AUTONOMIC division. The autonomic nervous system is widely referred to as the ‘master regulator of metabolism’ because it controls all the involuntary activities of the body – all those functions that are not under your conscious control. These include your heart rate, digestion, respiration, tissue repair and rebuilding, cellular activity, regular of your body temperature, immune activity, and countless other functions. It’s also divided into two distinct branches: the SYMPATHETIC BRANCH and the PARASYMPATHETIC BRANCH. Each of these two brances of the autonomic nervous system regulates a different set of metabolic activities. As the Diagram indicates, some organs, glands and systems are controlled by the sympathetic system, while others are controlled by the parasympathetic system. Each system is in charge of ‘turning on,’ or ‘innervating,’ various functions of the body, while the opposite system has the task of ‘turning off,’ or inhibiting, those same functions. Reference: : The Metabolic Typing Diet by William Linz Wolcott, Three Rivers Press, 2002

131

This dualistic, ‘push- pull’ phenomenon is what enables the two branches of the autonomic nervous system to work together, in a synchronized fashion, to regulate all involuntary metabolic processes in the human body. For example, the sympathetic system speeds up the heart rate, while the parasympathetic system slows it down. In the case of other invulntary functions, the roles can be reversed. For instance, the parasympathetic system turns of the activity of digestion – the secretion of hydrochloric acid, contractions of the stomach, and related functions. But should a tiger appear while you’re taking a lunch break, your sympathetic system would kick in, causing a ‘fight or flight’ resposne. This would immediately shut off your digestion, send blood from your digestive organ to your muscular system, speed up your heart rate, and make all the other necessary metabolic preparations for your fight or flight. Most people are neurologically influenced more strongly by either the sympathetic or the parasympathetic system. They also vary in the degree to which they are infuenced by each of these two systems. As a result of these inherited differences, people have many different physical, behavioral, and psychological characteristics, which correlate with either, ‘sympathetic dominace’ or ‘parasympathetic dominance.’

The Two Branches of the Autonomic Nervous System Sympathetic Branch Parasympathetic Branch  Pupils dilate  Pupils contract  Heart rate increases  Heart rate decreases  Liver releases glucose (raises  Liver stores glucose (lower blood blood sugar) sugar)  Stomach decreases digestive  Stomach increases digestive secretions secretions  Intestinal motility slows down  Intestinal motility speeds up  Bladder sphincter constricts  Bladder sphincter relaxes Throughout the universe, on every level, we find evidence of cycles and the interplay of two opposing yet complementary forces, for example: night/day, dark/light, acid/alkaline, high tide/low tide, protons/neutrons, and so on. This dualistic or ‘yin- yang’ phenomenon is evidenced in the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) as well. The ANS is known as the ‘master regulator of metabolism,’ because it controls all bodily processes that are outside your conscious control, such as breathing, heart rate and digestion. It can be thought of as your body’s automatic pilot, which keeps you alive without your being aware of it or participating in activities. The Autonomic Nervous System functions through the opposing yet complementary interaction of the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches. Most people are neurologically influenced more strongly by one of these two branches, but everyone is different in the degree to which their bodies are influenced. In general, the sympathetic system switches on organs and glands involved in energy utiliation, such a s the adrenals, thyroid, and pituitary. It is often referred to as the ‘fight or flight’ branch. Conversely, the parasympathetic system is responsible for energy- conserving proceses, and switches on organs and glands pertaining to digestion, elimination, repairing, and rebuilding. It is sometimes called the ‘rest and digest’ branch. Since different foods and nutrients exert different effects on the two branches of the ANS, metabolic balance can be strongly affected by the diet.

133

Both Pottenger and Lee realized that good health demands a balance between the two branches of the autonomic nervous system. They also recognied that nutrients play a crucial role in keeping the ANS in balance. Some nutrients stimulate or strengthen the sympathetic system, while having just the opposite effect on the parasympatethic system. Other nutrients stimulate the parasympathetic system while having just the opposite effect on the sympathetic system. Pottenger was the first to discover the value of addressing ANS imbalances in treating certain health problems. He began using calcium and potassium in an early attempts to bring the autonomic systems into balance. Lee too things a step further by defining a broader range of health problems associated with autonomic imbalance, and expanding Pottengerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technique of using nutrients to establish autonomic balance.

"Unfortunately, everything the experts tell us about diet is aimed at the whole population, and we are not all the same." - The Scientist Magazine "In the absence or deficiency of Pancreatic enzymes, Sympathetic dominant patients will end up with solid tumors in brain, pancreas, stomach, liver etc., Parasympathetic dominants will end up with the "soft" blood related cancers. The SYMPATHETIC dominants need a more vegetarian based diet, the PARASYMPATHETICS need a more meat based/animal protein diet." - Dr John Beard and the The Unitarian Trophoblastic Theory by Dr Duffy DC "Beard's 1911 book, The Enzyme Treatment of Cancer, received little attention and most scientists have never heard of it. But the theory did not disappear, but went underground. It has formed the basis of an enormous number of alternative explanations and treatments. In 1946, Dr. C. Oberling predicted: "Someday perhaps it will turn out to be one of the ironies of nature that cancer, responsible for so many deaths, should be so indissolubly connected with life." "Well, "someday" is here. Never has the link between the process of birth and of death been more closely linked." - Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D.

(The following information is excerpted from: Metabolic Dualism: Yin & Yang Concepts Within, by Michael McEvoy, FDN, CNC, CMTA, 2011, http://metabolichealing.com/) 71

The concept of dualism appears with all manifestation in nature and in the universe. Dualistic forces continuously exist in opposition, and yet through this opposition, wholeness is created. Take for example the two sexes: male and female. The human species could not exist if either men or women were the only sex. Together, despite being in many ways opposite, the wholeness of life is created. This is one of many concepts of dualism that exists in nature. In Taoism and Traditional Chinese Medicine and philosophy, the concept of duality is expressed as yin and yang. Yin and yang are "complimentary opposites that interact with a greater whole, as part of a dynamic system." The ancients recognized that yin and yang are actual forces which govern everything, including the functions inside of the human body. From a modern, science- oriented understanding, this is precisely the case. In fact, your metabolic systems function through the concepts of dualism. Yin is considered the more cool, feminine element, whereas Yang is considered more of the masculine and warm element. You have billions of biochemical reactions that take place inside of your body. These reactions fall under the control of a number of systems, sometimes referred to as Fundamental Homeostatic Controls, or FHC's for short. These FHC's are what regulate and dispense biological energy. Let's look at 2 of these FHC's and their relation to the yin/yang concepts. Both of these metabolic systems are what make up your Metabolic Type.

Autonomic Nervous System: Sympathetic (Yang) & Parasympathetic (Yin) The autonomic nervous system is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;MASTER REGULATOR" of metabolism. It produces autonomic, or automatic reactions in the body through its ganglia of nerves. The autonomic nervous system is divided into two branches: Sympathetic and Parasympathetic. The sympathetic branch is often referred to as the "FIGHT OR FLIGHT" branch of the nervous system because it induces the stress response. The sympathetic nervous system rises: blood sugar, adrenaline, cortisol, heart rate and blood pressure. When these physiological aspects are increased, yang is more predominant. As the sympathetic system is in high gear, the parasympathetic system is in low gear. The parasympathetic nervous system is often referred to as the "REST AND DIGEST" branch of the nervous system because it inhibits the stress response, allows the body to rest and to increase the digestive processes. The parasympathetic nervous system increases digestive secretions, lowers: blood sugar, blood pressure and heart rate. As the parasympathetic system is in high gear, the sympathetic system is in low gear. It is neither desirable to be too sympathetic (yang) nor too parasympathetic (yin). Both will result in imbalances. There must be a DYNAMIC BALANCE in order for equilibrium to exist. Sympathetic dominance can result in hypertension, hyperglycemia and diabetes, high amounts of stress, cardiovascular disease, and numerous other symptoms. Parasympathetic dominance can result in: low blood pressure, low blood sugar, electrolyte loss or insufficiency, arrhythmia, physical weakness and chronic fatigue. Nutritionally speaking, correcting sympathetic and parasympathetic imbalance is done with virtually OPPOSITE TYPES OF FOODS AND NUTRIENTS. A sympathetic dominant needs more of a plant- based diet and a parasympathetic dominant needs more of a carnivore type of diet. It should be understood that the autonomic nervous system is like the control tower of your metabolism, immensely influencing other metabolic systems.

Generally speaking, if you're a carbo type you need a higher percentage of carbohydrates in your diet in order to strengthen the parasympathetic branch of your nervous system, which is weaker than your sympathetic system, and thereby alkalinize your too- acid metabolism. Or you need more carbohydrates to speed up your naturally slow cellular oxidation rate, thereby bringing it into balance by acidifying your tooalkaline metabolism. Carbo types typically do well on a low- fat, relatively low- protein diet - - one that includes liberal amounts of carbohydrates in the form of vegetables, fruits and whole grains. However, carbo types need to remember that a "low- protein" diet does not mean a "no- protein" diet. In fact, most carbo types will find that they need to include protein at most meals. 142

General Nutritional Guidelines for Parasympathetic Dominant Protein Types (The following information was excerpted from: Eat According to Your Type, http://www.metabolictypingdiet.com)70

In general or simplistic terms, if you are a protein type it means one of two things - either your cells tend to burn carbohydrates too quickly (meaning you're a fast oxidizer), or the parasympathetic branch of your autonomic nervous system is stronger and more dominant than the sympathetic branch. This means you need a high- protein intake in order to strengthen your sympathetic system, and in turn acidify your tooalkaline metabolism. Or you need protein to slow down your overly rapid cellular oxidation rate, thereby alkalinizing your too- acid metabolism. Protein types do very well on a diet that includes plenty of high- density, high- fat proteins known as "high- purine" proteins. Foods high in Non- Animal Fat and Protein include: lentils, pistachios, black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, navy beans, almonds, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, soy beans, almond butter, peanut butter, and hemp seeds. 144

If you're a mixed type, it means you're somewhere in the middle of the other two types, which have more pronounced or clear- cut metabolic imbalances. You actually need to eat a mixture of protein type foods and carbo type foods. This will accomplish two things: 1) it will support both sides of your autonomic nervous system - - both the sympathetic branch and the parasympathetic branch; and 2) it will keep your cellular oxidation rate, which is neither too fast nor too slow, in balance. Mixed types need to consume relatively equal ratios of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. They also need to eat a mixture of high- fat, high- purine proteins and low- fat, low- purine proteins. The same applies to all of the other foods contained on the protein type and carbo type diets - - including grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits.

Lecture by Dr. Kelly (The following recording was made on Sunday afternoon, November 7, 1971 at the monthly meeting of the Mid- Manhattan Chapter of the International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends. It was held at the Times Square Center, 410 West 45th Street, New York City. Ruth Sackman, the Executive Director, is heard as she introduces Dr. William Donald Kelley of the Kelley Research Foundation, Post Office Box 89, Grapevine, Texas, Zip Code 76051. More information about Ruth Sackman can be found at http://www.rethinkingcancer.org/)

RUTH SACKMAN: "I'd like to tell you something about Dr Kelley. He's a practicing dentist in Grapevine, Texas, Head of the Kelley Research Foundation, and Fellow of the International College of Applied Nutrition, Member of the American Dental Association and many other dental societies and nutritional groups. Author of the book "One Answer to Cancer". His research work has been reviewed and published by the American Cancer Society in their November December 1970 issue of Cancer Journal for Clinicians. He is presently working at Baylor university to obtain his Ph.D., as well as lecturing, writing and conducting a dental practice. Now I want to add to that, you have here a very compassionate man who is terribly interested in helping rid this country of this terrible disease. I know many if you would like to talk to him personally but he is exhausted. Many people have taken up a lot of his time but I do hope you will be able to get all of; your questions answered today. I am honoured to present Dr. William Donald Kelley." DR. KELLEY: "Well, thank you very much Mrs. Sackman. I have a problem most of the time getting people to hear me so if I don't talk loud enough why you stand up and scream or something and I'll holler a little louder. It's a real privilege to be here in New York City. You really have a fantastic place here. It's a jumping, live- wire place and we've really enjoyed it. We've been here, in and out of here, for almost a week now and we've certainly enjoyed being here. I want to talk to you today a little bit about the diet in relationship to malignant conditions. And first of all, we have to understand what we are talking about and to define our terms, and so we'll spend a little time doing that. But the very first thing I want you to really understand is that, when you go along with me or I go along with you, the basic principal involved here is something that we as Americans are going to have to change our way of

147

living. PERIOD. This means a whole, complete radical change and the first thing is to change our philosophy of living. It's too easy for us to whip out our little 'ol pocketbook and get out one of these things and just go around and plunk it down and buy everything we want. This is the philosophy we are into right now and we've got to stop that. We just can't buy good health - we just don't have that much money- - - no matter who you are. It's going to take more than actual money. It would be easy that way and I would like to do it and I tried it for a long time and it doesn't work. We're putting our physicians under a tremendous, horrible stress pattern whenever we think that we can take this beautiful instrument that God has given us - this most perfect machine that's ever been developed and do anything on earth to it. We can smoke it to death; we can junk food it to death. We can stress it all day and all night. We can be angry, unhappy and ugly to it. We can mutilate it any way we want to and then when it finally wears down a little bit or wears out, wel1 then all we have to do is just run and pay the doctor a little money and he fixes it up. Well, we’re getting to the point now where we can't do this. So this is what we’re going to talk to you today about: - - - let's do something for ourselves, it's our RESPONSIBILITY. You know, it's each individual person's responsibility. When you're talking in terms of cures, we don’t believe in cures. I’ve got several degrees and I don’t care how many degrees you have in college and how many degrees you have, you can only cure one person and that's yourself. You can’t cure another person. You can only give him help that he can cure himself. Put this is the definition of the term cure that we're talking about. You have to do it YOURSELF; your own body does its own curing. The doctor may direct you and you may follow this direction but you must do your own curing and your own body will cure itself or adapt to the stress it has been placed under. Now, first of all we want to talk to you so that you can understand a kind or a philosophy in which we orientate ourselves. And we're talking in terms of diabetes, first. Let's go into the history of diabetes. In all the history of the world up until about 1918 when a person developed a gangrenous foot or a gangrenous hand or had problems in this area healing, or had a bad injury that wouldn't heal and so forth, then the doctor said "Well, you've got diabetes". And they'd cut

Reference: Lecture by Dr. Kelly, International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends www.whale.to

148

off a leg or a foot or an arm or something and say, "well, you’re cured of your diabetes", and this isn't true. Finally, it dawned on them around the early 1900's that diabetes was a systemic disease. Up until this time you'd go into the doctor’s office and you'd say "Well, what can I eat?" And he'd say, "Well, it doesn't make any difference". "Just eat whatever you want to". And; of course, we know better than that now. Almost all, an overwhelming amount of diabetes is controlled by diet alone. This is the same developmental level we are on at the present time in cancer. We go to the doctor now and when we say "what's wrong with me, "why do I feel so bad?" Finally in a year or two they find out why. You have cancer. So they cut it out. So you say, "Well doctor, what can I eat?" Well it doesn't make any difference. "Eat anything you want to. Eat a lot of meat and stuff and it'll be real good for you. All the nutritionists have repeated the medical data, like Adele Davis, (who has done a beautiful job and she is a wonderful person and a good friend) but these people just don't know what they're talking about. It would be just as bad if you go to the doctor with a good diabetic condition and he'd say, "Well, you've just got to eat more sugar, you just need it, you’re deficient in sugar. You've got to eat more and more sugar". Well, it just doesn't work. So now what I'm trying to say is this. DIABETES is the inability of the body to metabolize properly, sugars and carbohydrates. CANCER is nothing more than the very simple inability of the body to metabolize proteins properly. And that's all cancer is. And no matter how much you want to think of it in other terms, you're going to eventually have to come back to the concept that cancer is nothing more than the inability of the body to metabolize proteins. It's a systemic condition. It will not under any wildest imagination that you can contrive, this tumor or lump that you've formed or that develops in your body is not cancer. It is a cancerous tumor and is not the condition called cancer, any more than a gangrenous foot is diabetes. It’s just the result of a diabetic condition. And the tumor mass or glob or lump you have in your breast or in your prostate or in your stomach or under your skin or anything is nothing more than the end result of a general systemic condition- - - - - the inability of the body to metablize protein properly.

Reference: Lecture by Dr. Kelly, International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends www.whale.to

149

Now we want to know what causes this condition. And this is simply a failure of the body chemistry or an upsetting of the body chemistry and this is most frequently or can most easily be orientated around the function of the pancreas. The pancreas is the body’s natural defense against a malignant condition. It is the area in which we produce enzymes which metabolize our foods. Particularly proteins. And so we go into what fails in relationship to the pancreas. The pancreas fails and after the pancreas fails, usually it’s between 8 to 18 months after the pancreas fails to function properly that you develop a little tiny cancer cell in your body and then this starts growing, the tumor. You shouldn’t say cancer cell, you should say tumor mass but most of us think in terms of cancer. But the tumor begins by one little cell developing. This grows for approximately 39 months before it becomes large enough for your physician to clinically find it. And then when that happens he says, "well, you’ve got cancer". But you've had cancer for about 5 years before he can find it. Occasionally you have a real rapid growing tumor and it may be a year before they can clinically find it. A fast growing tumor or we should say a cancerous condition where your pancreas really fails real rapidly and you have a complete failure of the pancreas and then you develop a malignant condition rather rapidly. Generally most, or the largest percentage of our, malignant conditions or tumor masses develop over a long period of time. Sometimes they'll grow and sometimes they'll recede. It depends on the diet. There are occasionally times that the tumor mass will grow for a while and then you change your diet and then it'll dissolve for a while. Some people, on and off, have had cancer develop and recede, develop and recede, for several years, say 10 or 20 years. Which is normal, too. Which rather substantiates our theory or our basic concept that cancer is nothing but a systemic malfunction of the protein metabolism. Now, what happens? There are about five basic things in relation that happen in the body whenever you fail in your protein metabolism or the pancreatic failure.

Reference: Lecture by Dr. Kelly, International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends www.whale.to

150

1. Over intake of too much protein: This is the first thing that happens in our American society. In Africa and in India they had very little cancer until the Americans came during World War II and introduced peanuts and other high concentrated proteins. We felt so sorry for those people over there. We introduced great concentrated protein diet of mostly peanuts and other products but mostly peanuts. And since their diet has been changed, of course, their incidence of cancer is much greater. And so what happens? Let me describe the typical beautiful cancer developmental person in his early stages. He's a person, he or she that gets up about 6 o'clock in the morning. This person drinks lots of milk, stretches a little bit, puts on their jogging clothes or takes some bending exercises or jogs around the block. He comes back in and eats ham and eggs for breakfast. He goes down to the office to work and gets into the office and about 10 o'clock he's completely fagged. He has a loss of energy, tired. So he gets a package of peanuts and eats those. For lunch, on Monday he goes down to the Lyons Club and eats roast beef. On Tuesday he goes down to the Kawanis Club and eats roast beef. On Wednesday, he goes to the Rotary Club and eats roast beef. On Thursday and Friday, the same routine, he goes to some club and eats roast beef. Well now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten along pretty good in society end makes enough income that he can afford to be up in the world. He comes home and demands a steak or at least a half a pound of ground meat of some kind for dinner. And he eats this, which is good. And finally he tosses the baby up \in the air and plays with him for a minute and then flops over on the couch and somebody turn on the idiot box in front of him to entertain him for a little while. He sits there and reads or watches the idiot box for a while then, along about 9:30 he says, "Oh gosh, I'm so hungry. I've got to have something to eat". He demands the wife to run out and get him a big bowl of chocolate ice cream. He eats that and goes on and dozes on and off between the late shows. Finally along about midnight, he'll get up and has 1 peanut butter sandwich or a ham sandwich and another glass of milk and goes to bed. Well, this is typical. And if this man had three pancreases, there's no way on earth that he could possibly digest all the protein, the junk that he puts down his intestinal tract. So what does he do? The symptoms are that he starts belching a lot of gas. He starts passing a lot

Reference: Lecture by Dr. Kelly, International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends www.whale.to

151

of gas, until it runs through the house like a puffing 1870 Steam engine, and making about as much steam. And so we find that this is one of the very early signs of a malignant condition. We find that the person just cannot handle the protein and their pancreas is totally exhausted from trying to digest the junk that is put down the mouth. And this just overworks the pancreas, exhausts it. And what happens in a normal defense mechanism in a malignant condition, the person eats a reasonable amount of protein and the pancreatic enzyme secretes into the small intestine and it digests that. There's plenty of pancreatic enzyme left over that goes back into the blood stream, finds its way into the body, and when it gets into the body it attacks any cancer cells that happen to be forming that day. 2. Mineral metabolism: The next most frequent cause of malignant conditions or failure of the pancrease function, so forth, is probably the mineral metabolism in our diet. Probably one of the best examples of this was a beautiful soul, a man in our area that came in one time. He had cancer so bad in his chest and through his heart and lungs that he could not possibly live. He had probably, at most, two months to live. He was a veteran. The Veteran's Administration would not even use cobalt on him he was so bad. They said it was no use wasting cobalt on you, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so bad. So he said, "What am I going to do? I've got a real problem." I saw his left side and it was quite enlarged and, there, he had his pancreas greatly enlarged. I thought this guy's got a real pancreatic tumor. And so we ran our little evaluation tests on him and we found that his pancreas was not infected with malignant condition, that it was enlarged because the body knew that it had to defend itself and so it was producing about 3 times what he average pancreas would produce in enzymes to destroy the tumor mass. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working. These enzymes were running right by his cancer and just looking at them and saying, Goodbye". Nothing was happening. I said, Well, you've got a real simple problem there. All you have to have is minerals". And he said, "Well, I don't have any money". I said, "Well, the only thing I know to do (we were really so poor that we couldn't afford to give him any supplements), the best thing for you to do is to go down to the local place where we feed (and in Texas we have a lot of places like this), and you go down and take a bucket or a fruit jar or something that you

Reference: Lecture by Dr. Kelly, International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends www.whale.to

152

can get out of somebody's back yard and get a quart of black strap molasses and take a tablespoon of this, three times a day". He said, "Well, doctor, I thought you'd give me some fancy pills or something or some miracle cure." I said, "I'm giving you what you need and I don't know anything about these miracle cures. That beyond my comprehension. I don't have any rest machines or anything like that". And so he did this. In about three weeks he called me back and he said, "Oh doctor, you're killing me". I said, "How’s that?" He said, "Well, you know my diabetes is so bad that I just can’t stand this sugar and its making me worse. And that makes my blood pressure so high that I just can't stand it". I said. OK this is what you need. Now, you're very fortunate because if we can kill you with diabetes or with high blood pressure, then you don’t have to suffer the death of cancer". He said, "Well, you’re not very sympathetic." I said. "No, that’s exactly what you need". So he said, "OK" and he went on. I Said. "You can cut that down from a tablespoon three times a day to a teaspoon three times a day". In three months he called and said, "I just don't have the cancer anymore and don't have the high blood pressure anymore and I don't have the diabetes any more". And I said, "Well, that's good. Wasn’t that what you wanted?" He said, "That's what I came to get". I said. "Well you got it now". In order to get minerals into the body we must first have enough hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid dissolves the minerals from the food so that they may be absorbed. We are assuming of course, that the food has minerals in it! We are assuming also that the food is grown on good soil and that we are eating real- - - not synthetic- - - foods. If we fail to have enough minerals in our diet, what happens? The blood is going to maintain a mineral level so it must pull the minerals out of the bone. In order to get a small amount of trace minerals needed, there must be a great destruction of the bone. After the bones are destroyed the excess Calcium is deposited end we have arthritic conditions. The doctors should consider mineral metabolism in their treatment of arthritic conditions. But the body has to have the minerals to maintain life. It has to have the protein to maintain life. So when this cancer victim starts into the loss of pancreatic function, he not only absorbs the bone structure to get minerals, he also absorbs the muscle structure to get protein.

Reference: Lecture by Dr. Kelly, International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends www.whale.to

153

You have to have a certain amount of blood protein. Your blood protein has to be at a certain level in order to maintain life or you just won’t make it. If you don't get enough protein in your intestinal tract through your diet, you're going to get it pulled out of your muscles. And, therefore, you’re dissolving your own muscle system; you're dissolving your own bone system. This is a typical cancer patient. 3. Blood Clots: In the next most frequent cause of pancreatic failure, number three, here we find that we have blood clots that develop in the body, various parts of the body. Whenever a blood clot develops in the heart, we call it a heart attack. We get all the preferential treatment in the world. We get to lay in bed for a month. We get doctors running around and oxygen tents and all kinds of drugs and things and attention of nurses. Even your neighbors will mow your yard for you and everything. So this is really great. But whenever you have a "heart attack" or a blood clot in the pancreas, what happens? Well, you have a bad stomach- ache or stiffness in your left side there a little bit. This blood clot easy has wiped out 10 to 70% of your pancreas and you feel pretty lousy that night. The next morning you go to the doctor. Unfortunately our medical world has not developed an adequate pancreatic function test. So the doctor says, "you most have gotten food poison or you must have indigestion". He treats you for both of them end sends you home and lets you stay in bed the next day if you've got a company with sick leave. If you don't, if you own your own business, you go to work. And you don’t think anymore about it. From that point on whenever your pancreas fails and you start your deterioration of the protein metabolism in your body which eventually leads to a mass or tumor that develops and is called cancer. 4. Emotional cause: And the next most frequent cause of pancreatic failure is probably emotional cause. You help the guy sitting in the office next to you or studying for this next to you for the last 20 years, did a lot of his work for him. Now comes promotion time. He has goofed off. You did his work and your work too and the boss promotes him over you. And that really upsets you. Just blows your mind, as the young people say. And this blows something in your

Reference: Lecture by Dr. Kelly, International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends www.whale.to

154

mind, blows a fuse or something. Psychologically, it really wipes you out. So from that point on the nerve impulses from the brain telling the pancreas to work and to operate properly, well the message just doesn't get there. The connection developed that should be working there is not working anymore. Or the husband runs off with the secretary or something like that. Her mother dies or the kid gets run over by a car or something is such a shock to you it just really upsets you tremendously. It upsets you physically or psychosomatically. And these are some of the main basic causes of failure of the pancreas. Now after the pancreas fails you have this inability to get protein into your blood stream through your intestinal tract. You get to the point where you just crave protein. You just crave milk. It's just unbelievable how much you crave milk and meat and nuts because your body knows that it need's the protein. No matter how much you put into your mouth, none of its going to get into your blood stream. If we assume everything is working, everything is functioning perfectly. You grow your food on a beautiful soil and it has a lot of minerals, it's organically grown, no poisons... 5. Enzyme antagonists: By the way, the fifth failure of the, excuse me, I forgot the fifth failure, of the pancreatic function is enzyme antagonists. These antagonistic things are poisons DDT, malathion, aluminum, lead, any of the pollutants we commonly think of in terms of what we're fighting daily. The scientists discovered there is such a thing as ecology. Now the politicians are getting in on the act. They're fleecing us more and more of our own money to do more things to save us from pollution. But pollution is a pretty significant thing in relation to cancer. An enzyme is like a little key that goes in and it'll destroy or unlock the cancer cells and metabolize the protein whether it's cancer cells or its beef steak, it'll do the same thing. These enzymes, molecularly, have free- end radicals, and each little free- end radical gets stopped up with these poisons and pollutants that we have in our society now. This makes them very ineffective. It's like, if you had a key to your front door and it doesn't fit the key to my front door. There's an enzyme that fits the key to digest meat proteins and your cancer, which it does. And say you lost the key to your house and you can't get in, but in addition to that, if you

have the key and you happen to act a drop of solder on one of those little bumps on your key, then you're not going to get into your house. You can try to fit that key in your lock all day long and it's not going to work. And this is what happens with the pollutants. It ties up the enzymes. It's like dropping a bit of solder on your key; it ties up the enzyme so that it will not be effective. It's like buying a brand new Cadillac without a gasoline tank. It's all there and it looks nice, but it just doesn't work. It needs all the parts and needs to be free to work properly. So these are the five things that are in reference to the, that are the basic, and there are a lot of other little things that are, like .1% and .01% of the frequency and we've got lists and lists of things that cause the pancreas to fail. But these are the primary things that should be considered. Now, let's assume that a person has the food that he takes into his body, grown on beautiful soil with a lot of minerals, and so forth, and forget the toxins. Then we take it and put it into our mouth. First of all, we take it into the kitchen and we mutilate it, we destroy it. This is the first hurdle we have to get over. We go in and we process it in order to feed our massive population. Even if we had good food, it's hard to get the good food to each individual, particularly in an area like we've got here. So we process it and put a lot of pollutants in it, and that's bad for you. But even worse than that is that we cook it. And when we cook it, we destroy the enzymes. We make it, maybe, softer, make carrots soft so we can chew a little better, and so forth, but we've destroyed the enzymes in this. Now, whenever you take a fruit or a vegetable and you see a bruised spot on it, well you don't want to buy that. But this is the living example, all then enzymes working all the time. This is how we ripen fruit, is through the enzyme action of the fruit. If you keep it at a warm temperature, it's going to ripen faster. If you keep it at a cold temperature, it won't. It's the action of the enzymes. And whenever you push on a pear, you're going to have a little bruise spot on it, or an orange or a banana or a carrot or anything else. What you do whenever you mash or break the cell walls down, then you release the enzymes in it, and it starts predigesting. So whenever you take the food into your body, most of the food should be raw. You should put it in your mouth and chew it 28 times like the book says. What you're doing there is you're predigesting your food. Not with your enzymes that's in your body. You're not depleting your

Reference: Lecture by Dr. Kelly, International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends www.whale.to

156

body of enzymes but you're utilizing the enzymes that are already on the fruit and already on the vegetables. And whenever you get them working for you, you've gotten a long ways down the line. You’re starting to do something constructively. And so we must chew this rood properly and release their own enzymes. This goes down to the stomach, and there's the stomach without any hydrochloric acid. Well, why doesn't the hydrochloric acid work in the stomach? Why don't we have any hydrochloric acid in the stomach? Well, two primary reasons. We need the chlorine ion and… I'm not telling you anything different than your doctor does and don't let anything I tell you... you always have to clear it with your physician. And consider that possibility. I mean, I'm just telling you some general principles and each of your cases may be different. There are two things the whole health food industry agrees on and the medical profession agrees on, and they both agree on this one thing. And they're both wrong. And that's no salt. They just get kind of uptight about salt. There's no reason to get uptight about salt, it's a necessary thing. Don't completely neglect salt. You have too much salt but you need enough. So in order to have hydrochloric acid in the stomach you have to have enough chloride ions in the body. And then, too, you must psychologically, or physiologically I should say, turn on the hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric Acid: What do we do in our society? We go out and we eat a salad and we eat it first at the meal. That tells the stomach and the hydrochloric acid function to turn off. So turn off. So we don't need that, we're having salad today. Or we’re having fruit and we really need hydrochloric acid particularly for that, right now. So it turns it off. You need the hydrochloric acid mostly for meat and for the protein's. We eat things backwards in our society. We should, when we go to the restaurant, and they serve you a salad, set it aside and slap the waiter's hand if he takes it away before he serve's you, and then eat it after you eat the meat. Then eat your vegetables and stuff, which would be the ideal way. Then you eat the meat first, why? It turn's on your hydrochloric acid. However, if you're an ulcer prone person, it's OK to eat your salad first. That cuts off the hydrochloric acid so you don't get too much of it and that will help you along with ulcers. But the vast majority of us don't have ulcers. Unless it's

specifically a regional thing. Maybe in New York City you do but in most of the country, not everybody has ulcers. But you might consider that possibility. Now that you've got the food into your stomach with a good hydrochloric acid supply, then it comes down into your small intestine and here, really, this is where the whole factory blows up. You have several factors in the small intestine. It is really significant. First of all your pancreas has dumped a lot of enzymes into there, and we assume that's right. Your liver has to dump a lot of digestive juices, a lot of bile, and so forth. From the factors the liver dumps into your intestinal tract, makes it alkaline. It gets bile and does the fat metabolism. If you don't have a good liver, why then you have a strike against you. So now we need to balance, and get your liver working better. And this is not too bad a job, but anyhow we must consider this possibility. We must always have your liver working right. Small intestine and Enzymes: So you have a small intestine that really is a beautiful machine and it has millions of little finger- like projections out from the inside of the intestine, and these little finger- like projections give a mass surface of many miles of digestive capacity so that it absorbs. Inside this little, villi finger- like, thing sticking out into the intestinal tract are the blood vessel's where the food is absorbed and goes into the main artery, goes into the liver, into the body to supply the body with food. We’ve eaten so much milk that these little finger- like projections into the intestinal tract have got mucus stacked about this deep in there. There’s nothing, short of dynamite, that can get this mucus out of the way long enough for the food to get up here to these finger- like projection's. So all these finger- like projection's are just coated and filled with mucus. This is why we eat so much and we’re so hungry all the time. You take a big ‘ol fat girl and she is starving to death. You look at her and say, "Why, that big ‘ol girl, she ought to quit eating. She just eats like a hog! Sure she eats like a hog. This finger down here is starving to death. It sends a message up to the brain, "Give me something to eat, my God, give me something to eat, for heaven's sake, I'm starving to death". After that turns on, this poor lady eats and eats and eats and it goes down into the intestinal tract, and what happens? Some of

the water and a little bit of the sugar trickles into these villi that’s working there. She's starved to death for minerals and proteins and vitamins. She lives on a little bit of sugar and a whole lot of water. She's just stuffed full of water and sugar. Now you take a real skinny 'ol guy and he is so skinny, he’d eat you out of house and home, and he's still skinny. There’s no way on earth you can put weight on him. He's suffering from the same thing; he's got so much mucus attached in there. This mucus is selective. On some people, it only lets sugar go through, and on some people, only protein. On this guy, it only lets protein go through or maybe a few minerals, but mostly, just proteins. All he can assimilate is protein. He can’t assimilate any of the vitamins and minerals and carbohydrates. He's starved to death. You say, "My God, he's got a tape worm. It’s bad enough to have one kid to feed, but to have one kid with three tape worms is an impossible grocery bill." But it could be the mucus, because you’ve fed him milk all of his life, and cottage cheese. Now cottage cheese and milk is so good, such a good mucus builder that you can just kill yourself with it. And Metracal is another one, and all these things that you're trying to reduce with. You eat more and more Metrecal, and this type of junk, and this wipes you out. You can't absorb any food. So that's OK, you just go around starving for the rest of your life. And then people expect you to function good at work. Your husband expects you to feel good all the time and you can't. It’s impossible for you to starve to death and feel good. The boss expects you to perform, and you can't do it. The teacher expects you to perform at school, and you can't do it...because you're starved to death. Basically, we're just starved to death. There's great malnutrition in our nation, just unbelievable. It's from many causes, but this is one. So let's assume that, in some miracle way, barring dynamite, we can get this mucus out of the intestinal tract. We can digest it off with enzymes. And finally get this upper intestinal tract cleaned out. Now, a lot of people say, "Well, I’m going to go home and take a lot of colonics and enemas." Well, they won’t ever get up to your small intestines, so don't try that for this reason. Don’t try to take enough enemas to clean out your small intestinal tract, because you can't do it. But you can digest this off with enzymes. And let's assume you've gotten that digested

off. Now you've got a villi sticking out here that's just coated with food and now it’s ready to absorb all this food. You’ve got a blood vessel inside that little villi just circulating blood. Blood vessels and Black Strap Molasses: Then you've got two primary factors involved there that's keeping you from getting the food down here to this little cell at the end of your finger. One is, this blood vessel should be this big around, say, and it's about that big around. You just barely get anything through it. Most of this blood vessel is coated with white sugar. You've eaten white sugar all your life and your body can't utilize all that and it can't even store it all so it has to do something. It can't even throw it off as waste; you've put so much down from lemon meringue pie to chocolate eclairs. You've just jammed your body with so much white sugar it has to store it somewhere. So it store's it on the blood vessel and the blood vessel get smaller and smaller and smaller, mixed up with cholesterol and other junk that you eat. So you have a little tiny hole and your blood flow should be, maybe, a gallon through this vessel in an hour, and maybe you get a pint through there. And so that's a problem. The best way we've found to clean up this blood vessel is just plain simple "Terribly expensive", BLACK STRAP MOLASSES. If we could make it more expensive, some way, why people might utilize it more, but it's so cheap, black strap molasses is so cheap that they won't ever use it. This sugar can be cleaned out with this simple black strap molasses. Take a tablespoon in a cup of hot water, twice a day, or three times a day, twice a day is adequate. Now, you take grandma who's senile or grandpa, and you get them on black strap molasses a couple of times a day, or three times a day, and in about 6 month's they'll be sharper than you are and you'll have to hustle to keep up with them. If you don't live with them, just make the nursing home take care of that problem. Anyhow, they’ll run circles around you. At the nursing home, you can let them have the black strap molasses. And so we get this blood vessel cleaned out. Now you've got a big vessel there that's got plenty of freedom, but the next factor involved, you just hate to drink water or anything. I guess it is kind of dangerous to drink water anymore.

Blood Building: Your blood is so thick, that it just mopes through there like an old tired horse. It just barely chugs through the blood vessels. Instead of a gallon a minute going through there, maybe a pint a minute goes through there, because it’s just too slow. This is one of the big factors in heart attacks. The blood is so thick, you're dehydrated Your actual blood system is dehydrated. The best way to correct that is also one of these terribly expensive things, and that is: you take a third of a glass of juice, apple juice, pineapple, grapefruit, carrot, any kind of juice, it doesn't make any difference, and two- thirds of water, mix that up with a little bit of salt, an eighth of a teaspoon, just put a little shake of salt into this and stir this up. The salt and the juice solution will force so much liquid into the blood stream and dilute the blood stream and get it back into a proper volume. You need a good amount of volume in your blood stream. So now you get the volume in your blood stream right. Now then you're really wheeling and dealing. Now you’re about ready to do something in your body. You've got good food going to your stomach, you've got it into the villi and it's going up to the cell. It comes up to this finger up here, end the finger says, "Wow, I’m really getting something. Well now, I can really get some good food, and I'm so thankful." And this little cell up here in your finger says, "That's great". It starts absorbing all this good food it's getting. And you really have problems now. You really begin to have your problems start. This cell has had to live on junk for so long; it says, "I've got something good to eat in there and I'm going to unload all that junk". So it throws all that junk out into the blood stream and absorbs all the good stuff out of the blood stream. Then your blood stream is loaded with junk or toxins. You begin to feel lousy. This fill's your blood stream so much with toxins, and the blood stream can't handle it, so it backs up into the lymph system. Your lymph system fills up and then it swells and stretches and you get achy, and hurting all over. You get sick and nauseated and headachy and you lose your appetite. I’m going to insult you for sure now. I hate to do this to you, but you're going to have to take an enema at this point. It takes about three weeks after the cells really start working that you get the loss of appetite, you get the headachy feeling, and you just feel, generally goopy. That's the best way to describe it, goopy, ugly sick. You just feel lousy, in general. And so you need to take a good enema. Coffee enemas are good, or anything to keep the colon cleaned out, to help the

liver unload the poisons. And the kidneys- - keep drinking up fluids to keep the kidneys washed out. Keep the urine flowing beautifully, because the kidneys and the liver have to dump this poison out. The lungs, take good breathing exercises. Go huff and puff around the block until you sweat. Anyway you can get it out of your body, get it out. Put your hands firmly on the table: You finally get this balanced. You get the poisons coming out of your system, and you get food back in there and this cell starts re- growing. It starts having a normal, healthy environment to live in. You’d be surprised. It really perks up and you begin to feel good. You might feel good one day and then feel lousy for two or three. But every once in a while, you wake up and just feel like you did when you were 14 or 15, and feel like you could whip the world with one hand tied behind your back. And then your problems begin. This cell up here has waited 20 years to get something good to eat and says, "My God, I don't want to stop this". It continues that same message up to the brain, "Give me something to eat. I'm hungry." It's just gotten into the old habit of repeating the message. It's afraid it’s never going to get anything else to eat, and it doesn’t want to stop now. It wants to store up a bunch good stuff; because you may get back into the old problem you used to have before this. You really need a psychiatrist at this point, because it's really going to be tough. This thing continues to send a message to the brain and unless you have a lot of self will, and so forth, you’re going to get wider and wider and wider. You’re going to keep on eating as much as you always did. And when you keep on eating as much as you always did, instead of assimilating 5% of it, you’re going to assimilate 95%. You're going to get fatter and fatter and fatter. So the problem is that you must start at this point to learn to put your hands firmly on the table and push back. And do it quickly, about a second or two after you sit down to eat. You'll eat about one- tenth as much as you normally used to eat. And this is important, but I guess you can get fat if you can afford a new wardrobe and everything, but it’s better to learn to eat less and keep your body in good shape. Now you've got your body functioning normally and there's no way you can help but get well after this point. No matter what you do now, it's too late; you should have gotten there sooner, because you're going to get well now. And this is the primary thing.

Cancer Self- test: Now, you want to Know: Do I have cancer or don't I have cancer? How can I tell? The doctor's not allowed, it isn't his fault, and it’s our political situation... There are many tests available at the present time that he can use, and you can get through this organization. You can do it yourself. They can tell you how to get these tests. But your doctor has a real problem. You can send your urine samples off to the Philipine Islands or to Mexico and you can get back the results of a test that you have cancer or you don't have cancer. There's a little test that we developed in our research. You punch a little hole in your finger and take a drop of blood out on the end of your finger and you can tell, pretty much, whether you have the condition of cancer, quote, bad protein metabolism, and unquote. You may not have a tumor mass developed yet but you're on your way. You can tell by the way this little drop of blood comes out on your finger. It's very simple. That may cost you 35 cents or so. If that's not too expensive for you, you can try another test that's a little bit more expensive than that. It takes about 3 or 4 dollars. If you want to know whether you have cancer or not, you go down to the drug store and buy some pancreatic enzymes. Get Pancreatin, made by Lilly Co., Parke- Davis, or whatever the druggist has at the drug store. Get a bottle of a hundred tablets of triple strength. five grain Pancreatin, no matter what company makes it, it doesn't make any difference to me, or it shouldn't make any difference to you unless you like the color of the pill. You take about five of these, four or five of these after each meal for about three weeks. If you do nothing else but just do this, at some time within the three weeks, you're going to start feeling lousy. You're going to start getting headaches; you’re going to just get to feeling goopy sick. You're going to start to have a loss of appetite and maybe get nauseous. If any of those things appear to you during this period, you can rest assured that you have a malignant condition in your body with actual cancer cells present. So what do you do then? You say, "this is killing me". Like my brother. I told my brother to go see his doctor, and I told him to do this. He did this and in about 6 days he got just violently sick. He felt real lousy, and got the headache and then the loss of appetite and everything. He said, "Why I feel so bad, this is terrible. You’re trying to kill me". He took the rest of his bottle and threw it down the drain and flushed it and stomped on the lid. He

Reference: Lecture by Dr. Kelly, International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends www.whale.to

163

said, "You can't do this to people". I said, "Well they're going to have to go through with it some way or another." Finally, I convinced him that he had a big enough malignant condition that he should do something about it. He did. Whenever this happens, when you get this real poopy sick feeling, then stop taking the enzyme for about five days. Let the body clean out these poisons, and then start again. And keep doing this on and off. The second time you start it, start taking them again, you may not be taking them for more than 10 days or a week before you feel sick again, or feel lousy. But keep taking them, until you can take them for about three months without feeling bad. Then you're pretty well clear of the condition. And after that if I were you, I’d take at least three after each meal for the rest of my life, particularly if you're over 40 years of age. This is a good thing and you need them to help the pancreas. It'll supply the enzymes that the pancreas doesn't. Until the medical profession finds a real good test for pancreatic function, I believe that I would do this. If you are over 40, I would take some pancreatic enzymes because this would really be a help to your general health. Now pancreatic enzymes do not work like cortisone, or some of the hormone factors work where if you take too much of it, it'll destroy your pancreas. It won't do this. Pancreatic enzymes are amino acid or protein themselves. What you don't use for digesting food and cancer, you'll use them to build new cells. Now if you detoxify yourself and you've got your good nutrition to the individual cells, you're well on your way to recovery from almost any chronic disease. This doesn't do much for infectious disease or traumatic conditions. The medical profession is quite skilled in this and you always need a doctor. Don’t throw your doctor out the window. He does as much as he can. He just isn’t skilled in nutrition yet, but he is going to have to be in order to survive in this world that's coming up in the next 20 years. He's going to have to be more skilled in nutrition. Diet you need: Now let's talk about the diet that you need. It would be good for anybody, but it's good, too, for malignant conditions. There are some things that you should not do. And let's run through those first. You should not eat any animal proteins after 1 o'clock. This is, milk, meat, cheese and meat of all kinds, animal flesh products. You should also include in

Reference: Lecture by Dr. Kelly, International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends www.whale.to

164

this after I o'clock, peanuts. You ought not eat these. These are the main things to not eat. Now also you must not eat white sugar or white flour at any time. Just give that up for a lost cause. Now all these things, this would be good for anybody. Then things you can have in the diet. You can have all the fruits and vegetables you want, all the grains and nuts and cereals that you can handle. Of course there are some individual differences. Some things you can't handle. If you need some things you can't handle, why then you just can't handle it. So don't keep on forcing yourselves, but most people can. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just making a general statement. You can eat almost anything else. And it's to your advantage to eat everything you can RAW. I don't think we've' turned on our stove in the last 6 months. Oh, yes, we do once in awhile, we make some POPCORN, I forgot about that, and occasionally we make a pot of tea. We turn the stove on to heat the water for tea. But at our house we never cook anything. It just never dawns on us to turn on the stove, unless we want a little hot water for tea. And that doesn't happen very often. Now a lot of people discredit popcorn. Popcorn is a pretty good food. And probably the only "junk" food you can eat. I mean, like you go out to a movie' or anything. It's probably the best of the junk food that you can eat. Dr Walker is death on popcorn but I can't see this yet. I haven't been able to justify their bad position or their condemnation of popcorn. Many civilizations live on corn and it's a very good food. It makes me feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really out sinning, whenever I go out to a movie and eat popcorn. So it's really nice to have something that you can eat without really hurting yourself.

Nicholas Gonzalez, M.D., graduated from Brown University, Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude, with a degree in English Literature. He subsequently worked as a journalist, first at Time Inc., before pursuing premedical studies at Columbia. He then received his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College in 1983. Movie actor Steve McQueen had completely cured his own CANCER using Dr.Kelley’s Metabolic Program and had made plans to expose and "blow the lid off the cancer racket".

„I met Dr. Gonzalez in 1992, when I was vice president of research for the Nestle Company, the world's largest food company. I told Dr. Gonzalez that I did not believe in his therapy. I then reviewed Dr. Gonzalez's patient records for persons with very severe cancer whose diagnosis was confirmed by reputable hospitals and universities. I, myself, looked at the x rays, biopsies, and test results to be sure the cases were legitimate. This involved dozens of cases, far too many to suggest coincidental results. To my surprise, I determined that they were all legitimate. Never did I see an instance where Dr. Gonzalez had treated a patient for a condition for which there was a scientifically established, conventional method of treatment. Additionally, never did I see an instance where his treatment harmed people." - Pierre Guesry, M.D., the former Medical Director of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France, a medical research institution.100

When this failed, the Establishment's next plan was to send a mole or infiltrator into his organization, so that as close a call as the McQueen episode Robert A. Good, MD, could never happen again. PhD, DSc, FACP, was Therefore the high level a mentor, professor, physician, scientist. Memorial SloanKettering Known as the father of Cancer members in NYC, and a modern immunology.

Gonzalez' review of Kelley's records and expose Kelley as a quack. This project, being most important to the Establishment, led Cornell Medical School to reinstate the 3rd year medical student under Good's supervision for this project dealing with the Kelley Program. Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer in New York City authorized a study in 1981 in charge of Gonzalez to carefully investigate the Kelley Program and get the information to expose him as a fraud.

"During the recruitment period, I invited Dr. Gonzalez to present a seminar for our community. I then reviewed the project at the highest management levels of the company. Their reaction was, literally, that it was one of the most exciting projects ever seen in the history of the company. Everyone supported the idea of moving forward, including the president, the CEO, the businesspeople in healthcare, and research and development. We are a mainstream company. We believed that Dr. Gonzalez was the next Barry Marshall, and that the scientific implications of his work were phenomenal. I did considerable due diligence before we subsidized Dr. Gonzalez's work. I interviewed some of Dr. Gonzalez's patients, saw their files, spent many hours with Dr. Gonzalez, and studied his many lectures. I also consulted with my wife, a researcher in oncology and hematology. She became so impressed that, despite no illness, she went on Dr. Gonzalez's program, as did I, and many others at the company. We did so despite lack of insurance reimbursement for the annual expense for dietary supplements. It was the one and only thing I had ever done that made an obvious difference in my health. The difference was "day and night". Both my wife and I continue on the program to this day, more than a decade later, with extremely positive results. Our experience was shared by more than a dozen others at the company." - Testimonial of J. P. Jones, Ph.D. the former Vice President, Research and Development, for one of the largest healthcare companies in the world.

Because of the thousands of well- documented cases and patients to be interviewed, it took 5 years to complete the study. The resulting 301- page report found that the CURE RATE was 100% for pancreatic cancer and 97% for all other cancers (93% if previously treated with surgery, chemotherapy or radiation). The report was SUPPRESSED. The infighting of the Medical Establishment over the report forced the most renowned medical researcher of all history to be fired and dismissed from Sloan Kettering and shipped out to Oklahoma City. The doctor who did the study, Nicholas Gonzales, M.D., QUIT IN DISGUST and set up a cancer clinic in Park Avenue, New York city using the Kelley therapy, which to this day is thriving and eminently successful.

„A 2- year, unblinded, 1- treatment arm, 10- patient, pilot prospective case study was used to assess survival in patients suffering inoperable stage II– IV pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with large doses of orally ingested pancreatic enzymes, nutritional supplements, "detoxification" procedures, and an organic diet. From January 1993 to April 1996 in the authors' private practice, 10 patients with inoperable, biopsy- proven pancreatic adenocarcinoma were entered into the trial. After one patient dropped out, an 11th patient was added to the study (however, all 11 are considered in the data tabulation). Patients followed the treatment at home, under the supervision of the authors. As of 12 January 1999, of 11 patients entered into the study, 9 (81%) survived one year, 5 (45%) survived two years, and at this time, 4 have survived three years. Two patients are alive and doing well: one at three years and the other at four years. These results are far above the 25% survival at one year and 10% survival at two years for all stages of pancreatic adenocarcinoma reported in the National Cancer Data Base from 1995. This pilot study suggests that an aggressive nutritional therapy with large doses of pancreatic enzymes led to significantly increased survival over what would normally be expected for patients with inoperable pancreatic adenocarcinoma." - Gonzalez NJ, Isaacs LL., Evaluation of pancreatic proteolytic enzyme treatment of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, with nutrition and detoxification support.

The embryologist Dr. John Beard proposed in 1906 that pancreatic proteolytic digestive enzymes represent the body's main defense against cancer, and that enzyme therapy would be useful as a treatment for all types of cancer. (77) Particularly during the first two decades of the twentieth century, Dr. Beard's thesis attracted some attention in academic circles, and several case reports in the medical literature documented tumor regression and even remission in terminal cancer patients treated with proteolytic enzymes. (78- 82) In 1911, Dr. Beard published a monograph entitled The Enzyme Therapy of Cancer and Its Scientific Basis, which summarized his therapy and the supporting evidence. (83) In my book The Trophoblast and the Origins of Cancer (co- authored with Dr. Isaacs), I review Dr. Beard's work from the perspective of contemporary molecular biology. After Dr. Beard's death in 1923, the enzyme therapy was largely forgotten. Periodically, alternative therapists have rediscovered Dr. Beard's work, and used pancreatic proteolytic enzymes as a treatment for cancer. (84) Dr. Beard believed the enzymes had to be injected, to prevent destruction by hydrochloric acid in the stomach. However, recent evidence demonstrates that orally ingested pancreatic proteolytic enzymes are acid stable (85), pass intact into the small intestine, and are absorbed through the intestinal mucosa into the blood stream as part of an enteropancreatic recycling process. (86, 87) I began researching the use of oral pancreatic proteolytic enzyme therapy as a treatment for cancer after completion of my second year at Cornell University Medical College in 1981. At that time, I had the opportunity to meet Dr. William Donald Kelley, the Texas dentist who for twenty years had been treating cancer patients with a complicated nutritional therapy based on Beardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enzyme treatment. Although Kelley had been attacked in the press because of the unorthodox nature of his work, the Dr. Kelley I met was an unassuming man whose primary Reference: Enzyme Therapy and Cancer by Nicholas J.

wish was to have his controversial work fairly evaluated by the academic medical world. I thought his request reasonable. My research advisor at Cornell, Dr. Robert A. Good, at the time President of SloanKettering, agreed to support a case review of Kelley's patients, which I continued despite the rigors of third year medical school. During my fourth year at Cornell, I was given a considerable block of time under Dr. Good's direction to investigate Kelley's work and results in a more structured manner. Eventually, what began as a student project developed into a two- year formal research effort which I pursued during my formal immunology training. During my study, I reviewed nearly 10,000 of Dr. Kelley's patient records. I interviewed and evaluated intensively over 500 patients with appropriately diagnosed advanced cancer, and summarized my findings in an extended monograph completed in 1986 as partial fulfillment for my fellowship training. This monograph, entitled One Man Alone: An Investigation of Nutrition, Cancer, and William Donald Kelley, is now available through New Spring Press or on Amazon. The written report consisted of several sections. In addition to outlining Kelley's theoretical approach, I discussed at length 50 of his patients initially diagnosed with 26 different types of poor prognosis cancer, all of whom had enjoyed long- term survival and/or apparent regression of disease while following their nutritional regimen. As a separate chapter, I also evaluated all cases of unresectable pancreatic cancer, both compliant and non- compliant, who had come to see Kelley between 1974 and 1982. I eventually identified 22 patients in this group. For all of these patients, I obtained complete medical records, including death certificates for those who were deceased. I interviewed all surviving patients repeatedly and at length, and in the case of those who had died, I interviewed family members as well as the original attending physicians. Ten of these patients had visited Kelley only once and had never followed the protocol: these individuals had been discouraged from proceeding largely because of the negative influence of family and physicians who thought Kelley to be an outright fraud. This population, with a median survival of only 60 days, served as a convenient control. Among the remaining 12 patients, I

found a number who had survived far beyond what would be expected for the disease, including one patient with pancreatic cancer to the liver who had, when last contacted, been alive over twenty years from her original diagnosis. Despite the careful documentation and the five- year investment of time, no one in academic medicine could, at the time, accept that a nutritional therapy might produce positive results with advanced cancer patients. In 1986, probably as a result of endless pressures, Dr. Kelley gave up research and patient care, and I myself did not speak to him or any of his associates after 1987. He passed away in January 2005. In 1987, I decided to move to New York to try and salvage the enzyme approach, and observe for myself the results with poor prognosis cancer patients. My goal throughout has been to generate research support, so that this method, if it indeed proved to have value, could be integrated into general medical treatment. In July of 1993, the then Associate Director for the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program at the National Cancer Institute invited me to present selected cases from my own practice as part of an NCI effort to evaluate non- traditional cancer therapies. Dr. Isaacs and I prepared for presentation 25 cases representing a variety of poor prognosis or terminal malignancies who had either enjoyed long term survival or tumor regression while following my program. Included in my presentation were patients diagnosed with ADVANCED breast, lung, prostate and other CANCERS. Most of these patients are still ALIVE, now more than ten years since that presentation. After the session, the Associate Director suggested we pursue a pilot study of our methods in ten patients suffering inoperable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, with survival as the endpoint. He suggested pancreatic cancer because the standard survival for the disease is so poor, and an effect could be seen in a small number of patients in a short period of time. In fact, I was told that if three of ten patients lived a year, that would be considered a positive result. Nestec (the Nestle Corporation) agreed to fund the trial, which began in January 1994. The study has been completed and was published in the June 1999 issue (Volume 33, Number 2) of Nutrition and Cancer.

171

Of 11 patients followed in the trial, 8 of 11 suffered stage IV disease. Nine of 11 (81%) lived one year, 5 of 11 lived two years (45%), 4 of 11 lived three years (36%) and two lived longer than four years. In comparison, in a trial of the drug gemcitabine, of 126 patients with pancreatic cancer not a single patient lived longer than 19 months.(88) Subsequently, the National Cancer Institute, in conjunction with the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, approved funding for a large- scale controlled trial evaluating our approach against chemotherapy, again in patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Unfortunately, despite our initial enthusiasm for the project, ultimately it was ineptly managed by the academicians involved. The supervisory personnel at Columbia admitted multiple patients into the nutritional arm of the study that we believed failed to meet the very specific entry requirements, and who for the most part were far too sick to comply with our treatment. Our multiple complaints were largely ignored. Finally, at our request, the Office of Human Research Protection, an investigative arm of the National Institutes of Health, launched a full scale investigation of those in charge at Columbia. After more than two years, the OHRP determined that the Columbia staff had inappropriately approved 42 of the total of 62 patients entered into the study. More recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) completed its own investigation of the project, confirming Dr. Gonzalezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allegations of mismanagement. Dr. Gonzalezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book What Went Wrong exposes in detail the truth behind this clinical study (â&#x20AC;Ś). In addition to these clinical trials, we have collaborated with basic science researchers to test our enzyme approach in animal models of pancreatic cancer. In May, 2004, the results of these studies were published in the peer- reviewed journal Pancreas. In these experiments, a very aggressive form of pancreatic cancer was induced in mice, then half the animals were given our pancreas product, half were given no therapy. Those treated with our pancreas product showed a significant improvement in survival and behavior compared to animals not receiving the enzymes. In a second experiment, tumor growth was substantially reduced, and survival prolonged again, in animals receiving the pancreas product. (89) We want to emphasize that the results were particularly significant for a first attempt, since the investigators were using only the pancreas product part of our program, and did not use

172

a variety of doses to determine the most optimal for a mouse. As the principal investigator of the study wrote in the conclusion of the article: "In summary, PPE (porcine pancreatic enzyme) is the first experimentally and clinically proven agent for the effective treatment of PC (pancreatic cancer). The significant advantages of PPE over any other currently available therapeutic modalities include its effects on physical condition, nutrition and lack of toxicity." In addition to the financial support from Nestle, from 1995- 1998, Procter & Gamble invested considerable resources helping us refine our therapy (â&#x20AC;Ś). In January 2007, we published a lengthy article about our results in the peer reviewed journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine. (90) Here, we discussed 36 patients diagnosed with a variety of advanced and poor prognosis cancer who responded to our treatment with exceptional survival and in many cases evidence of tumor reduction (â&#x20AC;Ś). Although our published research deals with pancreatic cancer, in our office we treat patients with all types of cancers. We also treat patients with a variety of other problems, ranging from chronic fatigue syndrome to multiple sclerosis. Each treatment protocol is individualized for each patient, regardless of the underlying problem. The therapy itself is quite complex, but basically involves three components: DIET, AGGRESSIVE SUPPLEMENTATION WITH NUTRIENTS and PANCREAS PRODUCT (containing naturally occurring enzymes), and detoxification. The protocols are individualized and each patient receives a diet designed for his or her specific needs. The diets are quite variable, ranging from a pure vegetarian program to a diet requiring fatty red meat 2- 3 times a day. The supplement regimens are also individualized, and INTENSE: each cancer patient consumes between 130 and 175 capsules daily. Non- cancer patients will require considerably fewer supplements per day. The supplement regimens include a range of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, antioxidants and animal glandular products, prescribed according to the particular patient's needs and cancer type. These nutrients do not, we believe, have a direct anticancer effect, but instead serve to IMPROVE overall metabolic function. In addition to these supplements, every cancer patient takes large

173

quantities of pancreas product in capsule form, which we believe provide the main anticancer action (â&#x20AC;Ś). The third component of the protocol involves what we call "DETOXIFICATION" routines. On this therapy, we find that as patients repair and rebuild large amounts of metabolic wastes and stored toxins are released. As a result, patients routinely develop a variety of symptoms, most commonly described as "flu- like," such as low grade fevers, muscle aches and pains, even rashes that we hypothesize result from low grade tumor lysis. "Detoxification" refers to procedures such as the coffee enema, which are believed by alternative practitioners to enhance liver function and in turn, the processing and excretion of metabolic wastes. The coffee enemas are done twice daily, and patients most commonly report symptomatic relief. Coffee enemas have been discussed in the orthodox medical literature for the better part of this century. Many nursing texts routinely recommended coffee enemas (91), and the Merck Manual advocated coffee enemas as a stimulant in all editions from the first in 1898 through 1977. During the 1920s and 30s, coffee enemas were prescribed for a variety of conditions. (92- 96) In terms of their physiological effect, studies have shown that the rectal instillation of fluids will stimulate gallbladder contraction and emptying. (97) Of the hundreds of Kelley patients I interviewed during my research study, virtually every one reported significant symptomatic relief from the enemas. In my own practice patients repeatedly report the same improved well- being and relief of symptoms after a coffee enema. The enemas, in my experience, appear to be safe: I have yet to document a single serious side effect either in the thousands of Kelley patients I evaluated, or in my own practice. However, I do not encourage anyone to attempt coffee enemas except under the care of a knowledgeable physician (â&#x20AC;Ś).

Special Interview, with Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez By Dr. Mercola, The Truth About Medical Journals: Why Gonzalez’s Book Was Never Published (Transcripted a Special Interview, with Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez By Dr. Mercola, This article was brought to you by Dr. Mercola. Founder of the world's #1 natural health site, he gives you the low- down on cholesterol. © Copyright 1997- 2013 Dr. Joseph Mercola, All Rights Reserved. www.mercola.com) 98

Dr. Gonzalez: One of those patients (I can use her name because she‘s given me permission), Arlene, ran a gas station in Wisconsin. She came to see Kelley in 1982, interesting story. She had what was thought to be gallbladder pain, ended up in surgery at a local hospital. They opened up and saw a tumor in her pancreas and a tumor in her liver. They biopsied her liver lesion – it was a poorly differentiated adenoid carcinoma, which is the worst kind, consistent with a pancreatic primary. They closed her up, didn‘t even attempt surgery, then sent her off to the Mayo Clinic where they reviewed the slide and confirmed that it was stage four pancreatic cancer and gave her six months, maybe a year to live. She was really lucky to be discouraged chemotherapy. To the Mayo Clinic‘s great credit, if they know that chemo doesn‘t work, they‘re not going to push it onto somebody. In her case, they said "Don‘t waste your time on chemo. It will just make you sick." She learned about Kelley through a health food store, in her local town in Wisconsin, underwent the treatment, and she‘s still alive. I follow her now and it‘s somewhere to be 29 years - - it was 1982 when she was diagnosed. I know of no patient with STAGE FOUR PANCREATIC CANCER confirmed at the Mayo Clinic with liver metastasis ALIVE 28, 29 years later. So those are the kinds of cases where I find it quite remarkable, and I put all those together in a monograph form in 1986 where I am able to get it published along with Dr. Good‘s support. There were two general responses, one there were editors—either trade editors in the regular publishing business or medical editors—who thought it couldn‘t be true and it has to be fake. They just couldn‘t believe it. They thought Dr. Good was risking his career. The other response was from editors who actually believed it, because it was so well- done and in the monograph, we actually had copies of the medical records from the diagnosing hospitals and Reference: An Interview, with Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez By Dr. 175 Mercola. © Copyright 1997- 2013 Dr. Joseph Mercola, All Rights Reserved. www.mercola.com

doctors. Patients gave us permission to use their names, so there‘s no secrecy, everything was transparent. We even have the names in the original version. The second set of editors believed but thought it was so controversial; it was 1986 to 1987, their careers would be over in publishing, and that the AMA and the NCI would go after them. So we couldn‘t get the book published. We spent two years. We tried to publish case reports in the medical journals, the whole book, parts of the book, individual case reports, with no success. Dr. Mercola: (…) Those of us who practice natural medicine are frequently criticized for not publishing our findings. I really never published in journals much before, nothing like you‘ve done, and my justification for it is that it‘s not going to get published anyway. Here, your anecdotal story, confirms that. We‘ve got—from what you said—Dr. Good, one of the most published authors in the scientific literature at that point and yet he was refused. If the top guy‘s refused, then how does a general primary care physician ever going to get an article published? Dr. Gonzalez: They‘ll throw it in the garbage so fast, you won‘t even see it. It‘ll break the speed of light. It‘ll end up in the garbage so fast it will literally break the speed of light. That‘s how fast it will end up in the garbage. Robert Good was at that time, somebody may have succeeded him at that, but he was the most published author in the history of medicine, with literally over 2,000 articles. He was coeditor/editor of 50 textbooks, and was nominated for the Nobel Prize three times. He didn‘t win because he was a controversial guy. In fact, there was a book called Racketeering in Medicine by Jim Carter, where the introduction talks about Dr. Good, and he discussed the fact that one of the reasons Good was pushed out of Sloane was that he supported people like me, which he did, he would do it. And he was blasted for doing it. This guy was at the top of his profession: president of Sloane- Kettering, father of modern immunology, and did the first bone marrow transplant in history. Yet, he couldn‘t get it published. He couldn‘t get a case report published. In fact, I have a letter. I have it about 10 feet from where we‘re talking, from one of the journal editors, dated 1987, who wrote to Good. Sir, I have submitted some case reports and a whole monograph to this editor, who was an editor of a very prominent medical journal, a peer- reviewed journal. The guy wrote a blistering letter to Good: "You‘ve been boondoggled by a crazy quack guy, don‘t you see this is all a

176

fraud?" is what it said. And it was just the most extraordinary, irrational letter, when there‘s nothing snookering, the patients‘ names were there, the copies of their pertinent medical records were there. These patients were available, any of them could have called these patients, like Arlene Van Straten, 29 years later, she‘ll talk to anybody, but no one cares, they wouldn‘t do it, they didn‘t believe it, they couldn‘t believe it. It was very disturbing to me because I come out and I say it. It is what it is. I don’t come out of an alternative background; I come out of a very conventional research orientation. And it was astonishing to me. I had some assistant associate professor. I had the president of SloaneKettering who couldn‘t get this thing published because it disagreed with the philosophy that was being promoted in medicine, that only chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy can successfully treat cancer, even though the success rate was abysmal. The idea that medical journals are these objective and unbiased repositories of the truths about science is totally nonsense. Most of them are OWNED by the drug companies. They won‘t publish anything that disagrees with their philosophy. Their philosophy is drugs are good and anything that‘s nutritious is, at best, worthless, and at worst, fraud and quackery. That‘s the way they think. I saw the letters. In fact, there‘s more than one letter that was written to Good. This particular one, I remember very well because I have a copy of it. It was just blasting me for even having done this project and Good for having even supported me. By the end of 1987, we realized I was going to get nowhere, and Good was no longer at Sloane, so we didn‘t have the power base to arbitrarily conduct clinical trials. Kelley was off the deep end because he thought this project was his one chance to get his work accepted. He saw it wasn‘t even going to get published, so he literally went off the deep end and stopped seeing patients. I last spoke to him in the summer of 1987. He accused me of being part of the CIA plot to steal his work, and I knew that I had to move on. To this day of course, I would give him credit for his great, brilliant innovation. It‘s kind of like Semmelweis, who ended up going crazy during the 19th century after showing doctors they should wash their hands before delivering babies, and no one accepted that. Semmelweis just went off the deep end, and that‘s what kind of what happened to Kelley, I say with great sadness.

177

Starting The Alternative Cancer Treatment Practice I came back to New York with Dr. Isaac, who‘s assisting me in my research, set up for practice and started seeing patients using Kelley‘s three- pronged approach (which I will get to in a second) and started getting good results right away. One of the first patients that I saw, I remember it so well, the day before Pearl Harbor, December 6, 1987. She had been diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer two years earlier. Inflammatory breast cancer is the most aggressive form of breast cancer. The tumor in her breast was so big, they couldn‘t take it out. Her doctors thought it was an infection, so time was wasted as they put her on antibiotics, meanwhile this tumor exploded. Inflammatory breast cancer can kill you in two months. By the time they realized it was cancer, it was too big to operate, so they gave her radiation to shrink it, operate on it to get it to an eight- centimeter tumor, and 16 of 16 nodes were positive. It was just unbelievable. They put her on aggressive chemo (this is 1985). They said, "You‘re going to be on aggressive chemo until you die," and that‘s the way it‘s going to be. While getting chemo, she developed bone metastasis, stage four disease, and her doctors threw their hands up in the air. She started seeing me December 6, 1987. Twenty- three years and three months later, she‘s alive and well, and after a few years on the program, all her scans are clear. She‘s just unremarkably well. Here‘s a woman that was given six months to a year to live AND developed metastasis while getting aggressive multi- agent chemotherapy. Not quite 23 and a half years later, she‘s ALIVE AND WELL, enjoying her life and just doing so well. We could see that Kelley‘s approach really worked, and when I report these cases, I‘m giving Kelley the credit because he really developed this treatment, this enzyme- based treatment.

Recognition From The National Cancer Institute In 1993, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), as part of a legitimate effort to kind of reach out to alternative practitioners, invited me down to present cases from my own practice–at that point I‘d been in practice for six years. I went down and I presented 25 cases. It was a three- hour session, Reference: An Interview, with Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez By Dr. Mercola. © Copyright 1997- 2013 Dr. Joseph Mercola, All Rights Reserved. www.mercola.com

178

closed- door, invitation- only. The hotshots from the NCI were down there. Some of them had a chip on the shoulder, but some of them, that guy who shared the meeting, the then- associate director of the NCI, Michael Friedman, were very openminded. He said, ―We‘re really trying to look seriously into alternative practices. On the basis of that presentation, the NCI suggested that I do a pilot study with patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. The thinking being is that pancreatic cancer is untreatable and is advanced in a conventional world. Once it‘s beyond surgical repair, there‘s no treatment that works, be it chemo, radiation, or immunotherapy. They said, if you can get even three patients to live one year, we‘ll consider that a miracle. They suggested with a pilot study, it‘s not a controlled group getting chemos, the group with an advanced, incurable type of cancer getting the experimental treatment, which in this case, was mine. And they suggested 10 patients. Later, of course, no matter what I did, we were criticized. People in the conventional world criticized me for only using 10 patients. But that‘s exactly what the National Cancer Institute said I needed: With pancreatic cancer, you don‘t need a whole bunch of patients, because everybody knows they‘re all dead within a year and a half.

The Unconventional Financer: Nestle Dr. Gonzalez: Nestle was willing to fund the study. They got an interest in my work, this international food company. Dr. Mercola: How would Nestle be behind…It doesn‘t make sense! Dr. Gonzalez: It doesn‘t make sense at all. I‘ll tell you, it‘s an interesting story because Nestle— I‘ve joked with their research team, they make 16,000 products, none of which I would eat. I live by my rules, I eat organic, I drink carrot juice, I don‘t eat chocolates and synthetic foods. The chief of research at Nestle at that time, Pierre Guesry, an interesting guy, French- born, he had been medical director at the Pasteur Institute, one of the preeminent research institutes in the world. He was the director of it. Nestle hired him as a way to set up a basic science research division in nutrition, which was largely unknown and was funded to the tune of like 500 million dollars —Nestle is a 64- billion- dollar a year company. They have a campus in Lausanne, Reference: An Interview, with Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez By Dr. Mercola. © Copyright 1997- 2013 Dr. Joseph Mercola, All Rights Reserved. www.mercola.com

Switzerland that rivals the NIH. It‘s on a beautiful rolling countryside near Lake Geneva, with building after building, and they give grants to scientists from around the world to come and do nutritional research. The thing is, if they can add nutrients to their junkier foods, it‘ll make the junkier food healthy. So that‘s the business motivation. Guesry was a pure scientist who was trained as an immunologist, and knew about my work. It was 1992 to 1993, just the same time the NCI was inviting me down. I wasn‘t that well- known at that time, but he had people looking out for alternative practitioners who might be doing something useful - - you know, business that‘s kind of interesting. They don‘t care if it‘s moon dust, if it works, they want to have a patent on it and sell it. They were actually looking very quietly. Very few people know that they had this research group that scoured the world, looking for alternative therapies that might be useful treating just about anything, it wasn‘t just cancer. They kept coming up with my name, even at that time. So the chief of research, Guesry, came to New York and started going through my records, and flew me to Switzerland a few times to lecture to their scientific staff, then just announced they were going to fund my study. There were no strings attached at all, they just want to do it for the sake of humanity. They came up with the money. The NCI supervised the pilot study (it was supervised by imminent researchers). We finished it around 1999, it was published in June 1999 in the peer- reviewed literature, and SHOWED THE BEST RESULTS for the treatment of pancreatic cancer in the history of medicine.

Chemo Drugs Versus The Gonzalez Treatment Dr. Gonzalez: To put it in perspective, the latest chemo drug that‘s been approved for pancreatic cancer dates actually to 1997, and the major study that led to enthusiastic approval of Gemzar had 126 patients. Eighteen percent lived one year; not a single patient out of the 126 lived beyond 19 months. They were similar type patients to ours, advanced pancreatic. In our little study we had 11 - - one of them dropped out. We had five that lived two years, four that lived three years, and two that lived five years. And one quit the program and died of a Reference: An Interview, with Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez By Dr. Mercola. © Copyright 1997- 2013 Dr. Joseph Mercola, All Rights Reserved. www.mercola.com

180

heart attack. The other one quit because she was just tired of living and went off the program, and since she was elderly, she didn‘t want to keep doing the work. But they lived five years. So in our little study of 11 patients, we have five that lived two years. In the Gemzar study, with a 126 patients—more than 10 times as many patients—they couldn‘t get one to live beyond 19 months. So these are rather extraordinary findings. All these patients were approved by a team of really good cancer researchers, so there would be no doubt that they didn‘t really have pancreatic cancer; they just had toenail fungus. There‘s no question these patients had pancreatic cancer. They were properly diagnosed and their slides were properly reviewed and all that. That was the good news, Based on that, the NCI decided to fund a large scale clinical trial, again, of my work in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Only this time, it would be what‘s called a phase three study, where my treatment would be used on an appointed group of patients, while the second group would be getting the best chemo available at the time, and we will go head to head, and the NCI said ―Are you willing to do this? I said yes. They allocated 1.4 million dollars to do the study—it was going to be run at Columbia University. My friends say "Why did you get involved with something like this? How could you trust the NCI?" Well, my experience with the NCI had been, they were very fair, up to that point, and the then- director, Richard Klausner, in face- to- face meetings with me down in Washington, said he really thought I was doing something realty interesting, and needed to be properly supported. But unfortunately, about a year after the study was approved, he left to go work for Bill Gates or some private organization. {20:00}

181

On Being Sabotaged By The Academic Institutes Dr. Gonzalez: A new group came in, and they had a completely different attitude, and we could tell - me and my colleague, Dr. Isaac—from our first meeting, we knew something had changed significantly, and all the people that had initially been assigned to the study, who were supportive and believed we were doing something useful, were taken off the study. In fact, one of them couldn‘t even talk to me, that she‘d be fired if she talked to me, if she took my phone call. I was told by another person who had supported me at the NIH that I shouldn‘t call him at his office, that he was afraid that his line was tapped, and I should only call him at his home. That‘s how insane the politics over this clinical study got. I couldn‘t believe it. I just thought this was just something you‘d read about or see on TV, or someone paranoid or crazy would make up. Here I was living it. Coming out of Robert Good‘s group, I don‘t say that to impress people, but my background was so pure and conventional. It was so unbelievable to see that the profession I respected and wanted to join could behave like this. We decided not to quit and to stick it out, and eventually the study was, in our estimation to use a kind word, SABOTAGED. Turned out the principal investigator at Columbia, who‘s supposed to be completely neutral, had helped develop a chemo regimen that was being used against us, a conflict of interest that was never declared. None of the geniuses at the NCI and NHI told us that we had to find this out ourselves. Not like any clinical study, there are specific requirements for entry into the clinical study. Ours is a nutritional program, and when the first protocol version was written back in 1997 (the first protocol versions go back to 1998, 1997), we had a list of specified criteria. First, they all have to sign a consent form. This is a federally- funded clinical study—by law, any subject entered into a federally- funded clinical study has to file and sign a form of consent. It‘s a requirement. They have to be able to eat. We had no undue expectations. We know what we can do, what we can‘t do. Ours is a nutritional program. Patients have to be able to eat. If they can‘t eat, they can‘t do our therapy. They have to be able to take care of themselves. This is not like chemo, where you show up to your doctor‘s office, eat ice cream, stick your hand out and watch TV while they give you chemo, which is what happens at the doctor‘s or oncologist‘s office.

This is a program the patients have to follow at home. They have to make their carrot juice. We have coffee enema as part of the program, and they have to do their coffee enemas. They have to take 200 pills a day. They have to do these at home. So all of these were written in the protocol. Initially, the patients that could do it, they started to respond. Then, there was a sudden change at around 2000 to 2001, when the Columbia group had total control of the entry of patients into the study. We were excluded from that process, except during initial months. The thinking was that if we were involved in the admission process, we‘d enter the dreaded bias, whereas if conventional doctors were in control, they couldn‘t possibly be biased. Of course, the chief investigator helped developed a chemo regimen that‘s virtually the definition of a potential bias. He started sending us patients that COULDN‘T EAT. We had patients that were so sick we would never have accepted them into our private practice. They were so sick; they died before they got their supplement order. Whether it was a trick to the protocol, the Columbia team, the NCI, and the NHI insisted that we had ―an intent- to- treat provision into protocol. What that means – they use this sometimes in drug trials – is that a minute a patient is accepted into the trial, they‘re considered treated, even if they never do the therapy (…). But because of this intent- to- treat provision in the protocol, they were considered Gonzalez treatment failures. Ultimately, 39 patients were entered for treatment by us. Maybe at best, being kind and optimistic, maybe five or six actually did it, the great majority was so sick they couldn‘t do it. In 2005, the NIH did a review of the study, and actually to their credit, in writing came out with an official statement saying that so many patients had been entered for treatment with us that couldn‘t/didn‘t/shouldn‘t/wouldn‘t be able to do the program, that the data would have no meaning - - that basically, an untreated control group is what they had created, instead of a Gonzalez treatment group, that most of the patients sent to us couldn‘t or didn‘t do it, and that they were psychologically unsuited. Obviously for a program that you had to do at home, that takes a certain amount of motivation. You have to believe in it, you have to be willing to do the work. People that aren‘t motivated aren‘t going to do it. We were being told we have to treat patients that we would never have accepted into our practice and, of course, most of them didn‘t

do it. The end result is chemo looked better, apparently to the great exaltation of the NCI, Columbia, and NIH – that‘s what I‘ve been told they‘ve been told they‘re hoping would happen. They would do anything to make sure chemo looked better. It was actually published in the peer- reviewed journal.. We filed a complaint with the office of the Human Research Protection (OHRP) at the NIH, which is an oversight group responsible for making sure that federally- funded clinical trials should be run properly. We filed a complaint in 2006, and they spent two years investigating (of course, you know that government takes a long time to do anything) and they found that 42 out of 62 patients had been admitted INAPPROPRIATELY. This has never made its way into the media. Shibo and the Columbia team were able to publish the article leaving that out, the fact that 42 out of 62 patients were inappropriately admitted. Yet it was right on the OHRP website, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services of the NIH. So the study was a total boondoggle, a waste of 1.4 million dollars. Even though I won the grant, all the money went to Columbia. It‘s all gone. The data, as far as I‘m concerned, is worthless, and the NIH and NCI are using it to show that my therapy doesn‘t work. So that‘s how this long journey - - just about in July it will be 30 years from when I first met Kelley - - has gone. Although the good news is, we‘ve never been busier in our own practice.

The First Step: Finding The Right Diet Dr. Gonzalez: One of the things that amazed me, and amazed Dr. Good back in the {30:00} mid- 1980‘s when I was first doing my investigation of Kelley‘s records, was the fact that he seemed to be able to treat almost any kind of cancer effectively, from brain cancer, to toenail cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, to solid tumors like breast, lung, pancreas, colon, liver, uterus, ovaries, as well as the immune cancers, leukemia, lymphoma, myoma. It seemed to work for almost any cancer. Now, he treated his patients individually. Kelley differed from some of the alternative practitioners who were treating cancer, like Gerson, who preceded Kelley, who had one diet for everybody. One of Kelley‘s genius innovations which you know about, because I Reference: An Interview, with Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez By Dr. Mercola. © Copyright 1997- 2013 Dr. Joseph Mercola, All Rights Reserved. www.mercola.com

184

know you‘re big on metabolic typing, is that different people need different diets. When I met Kelley, he had 10 basic diets that he used that ranged from pure vegetarian, nuts and seeds, and raw food to red meat three times a day, like an Atkins diet. He had 10 basic diets and 90 variations that were all on his computer. His attitude was that different people need different types of cancer treatment. His program and our program today have three basic components: [1] INDIVIDUALIZED DIETS, [2] INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPLEMENT PROGRAMS with large doses of enzymes And the third component is DETOXIFICATION ROUTINE. Now in terms of diet, Kelley had 10 days and 10 different diets, and he found that the typical solid tumors - - tumors of the breast, lungs, stomach, pancreas, liver, colon, uterus, ovaries, and prostate - - needed a more vegetarian diet. He had all gradations of a vegetarian diet, one that was 80 percent raw, and one that was 80 percent cooked. So even on the vegetarian side, there were all different variations. Some had virtually minimal animal protein, some had fish, and some had also red meat. A patient that developed immune cancers (leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and sarcomas, which are connective tissue cancers that are related to immune cancers) tended to occur in people genetically that did best on a high- fat, high meat diet. Again, there are all kinds of gradations in the Kelley world of meat- eating. From almost pure Eskimo- like (the Eskimos are the traditional pure- meat eaters)—an Eskimo- like diet is where people eat fatty red meat primarily with some vegetables to less intense meat diets. There are all gradations. These are people that thrive best when they eat a lot of fatty red meat, but they don‘t get high cholesterol or die of heart disease. They‘re like lions and tigers. Lions and tigers eat nothing but red meat, but they don‘t get any cholesterol problems because their metabolism is suited to using fatty meat. Then there are balanced people that do well with a variety of foods, both plant foods and animal products, but they don‘t tend to get cancer. Cancer tends to occur on the extremes, the extreme vegetarians—those are people that tend to be too acid—or extreme meat eaters, they tend to be too alkaline. Balanced people don‘t tend to get cancer too much. So we continued the individualized diet approach, as did Kelley.

185

Individualized Supplementation And The Enzyme Protocol The second component would be individualized supplement protocol. Every patient gets a supplement protocol designed for their particular metabolism, and they‘re quite variable. For example, our vegetarian patients need completely different supplements from our meat eaters. The vegetarians do real well with most of the Bs, the meat eaters don‘t do well with Bs. The vegetarians don‘t do well with vitamin A, but the meat eaters do well with vitamin A. The vegetarians do well with vitamin D, the meat eaters not as well with large doses, and so on. The meat eaters do well with calcium ascorbate as a vitamin C source, the vegetarians do well with large doses of ascorbic acid. So the supplement protocols are very individualized and very precisely engineered. Now, in addition to the vitamins and minerals and trace elements, which we prescribe to help with the general physiological efficiency, we also prescribe large doses of pancreatic enzymes. The essence of Kelley‘s work was based on the work of Dr. Beard, which goes back to the turn of the last century, about 110 years ago. Beard was a professor at the University of Edinburg, an embryologist actually, not a medical researcher, who first proposed that pancreatic proteolytic enzymes are the main defense against cancer in the body and are useful as a cancer treatment. Now in conventional physiology, today, and then, a hundred years ago, it was known that pancreatic enzymes are needed for digestion, and Beard said above and beyond that, use that as the main defense against cancer in the body and any cancer, and whether it was leukemia or brain cancer, it would respond with ENZYMES. He did animal studies and clinical studies that were published in mainstream journals, like the British Medical Journal, it didn‘t matter. It was totally ignored when he died in 1924; he died in total obscurity, even though in 1906 he was nominated for the Nobel Prize because of his work, not with cancer, but with embryology. But his cancer work was extremely controversial. He was attacked in the medical journals. Editorials were written against his enzyme thesis; they thought it was too simple, the way they think it is now. Kelley kind of resurrected Beard‘s enzyme therapy and incorporated that into his nutritional approach. My average cancer patient would, for example, take 100, 110 capsules of pancreatic enzymes spread through a day and they worked. I‘m not crediting myself as being the Reference: An Interview, with Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez By Dr. Mercola. © Copyright 1997- 2013 Dr. Joseph Mercola, All Rights Reserved. www.mercola.com

186

great genius that discovered this. It‘s Beard, 100 years ago, and Kelley, 40 years ago, that really showed that pancreatic proteolytic enzymes above and beyond their digestive functions are extraordinarily powerful against cancer. And indeed, they represent the main defense against cancer in our bodies better than the immune system. I trained as a classical immunologist, trained to do bone marrow transplantation.

The Third Protocol: Detoxification So the second component is the supplement and the enzyme. The third component is the detoxification routine, like the infamous coffee enemas. Kelley found that as the enzyme very effectively started breaking down tumors, you get all these dead tumors floating around in the body, and the patient would most definitely get sick, sometimes they‘d end up in the hospital. He saw a way that would help the liver and the kidneys mobilize these dead tumor toxins more efficiently (the liver and the kidneys are the main detoxification organs, particularly the liver). Ironically, he was often criticized for his use of his coffee enemas (as we are today in our practice) when he got the coffee enemas right out of the conventional medical literature. Most nursing techs recommended them right up to the 1960s. They were in the Merck manual which was a paradigm of conventional treatments right up until the 1970s. There were a dozen articles about the value of enemas and coffee enemas right through 1960s in conventional literature. They fell out of favor not because they didn‘t work, but because the drug industry took over medicine, so folksy things like coffee enemas were kind of laughed at. So Kelley learned about coffee enemas from the conventional literature and incorporated them into his program and found them EXTREMELY HELPFUL. When you drink coffee, it tends to suppress the liver. When you take coffee rectally as an enema the caffeine stimulates certain nerves in the lower bowels, sets up as a reflex, and the liver starts releasing toxins. The coffee enema seems to stimulate both the phase one and phase two detoxification systems in the liver to help the kidney as well. We have a whole series of things like colon cleanses, and liver flush that Kelley developed that really help the liver and kidneys work efficiently. So the program is three- pronged (…). Reference: An Interview, with Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez By Dr. Mercola. © Copyright 1997- 2013 Dr. Joseph Mercola, All Rights Reserved. www.mercola.com

187

Dr. Gonzalez: Yes, it‘s got to be organic, and it‘s got to have caffeine also. Interestingly enough, this is one time when caffeine is good because caffeine sets up the reflex in the lower colon. Dr. Mercola: Because it‘s an herb. Coffee‘s an herb, a natural herb. Dr. Gonzalez: That‘s right. It‘s loaded with antioxidants. In fact, there are recent studies that I‘m sure you‘re familiar with that show that coffee loaded with antioxidants can have an anticancer effect and that coffee may actually help suppress cancer. In our case, we‘re using it not just for that but because it helps the liver work better. You have to use organic coffee, it has to have caffeine, and you have to use a coffee maker that doesn‘t have aluminum, preferably no plastic, that kind of thing. You can go on the Internet now and find out how to do coffee enemas. The Internet can be a blessing because you can learn about these things that were previously kind of lost in old textbooks. So you can learn how to do it. You can‘t just go out and buy junky coffee from your local supermarket, and expect to get any kind of response. So individualized diets, supplements with enzymes, and the third component would be detoxification. So I hope that answered your question.

Good Health From Different Diets Dr. Gonzalez: Yes, there‘s no question. Kelley used a different diet for different people and brought his treatment program [indiscernible] to a different level from previous nutritional positions. He was very wise. When we look at the human species in terms of our past history, humans have adapted and lived in all kinds of ecological regions. The Eskimos lived up in the Arctic where there‘s no growing season. As I always say in my lectures, there are no fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and grains, but there‘s fatty red meat. The Eskimo diet was studied extensively in the 1920s and 1930s and even more in 1972 and just recently in March 2011. Right up until a few decades ago, their daily nutritional diet was all meat – 80 percent fat and 20 percent protein. It really wasn‘t high- protein, it was fat that they lived on as there were no fruits and vegetables. They lived on fatty animals. They craved fat and they ate fat and they were fine.

188

When they were studied by McGill University, they were found to have no heart disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, insulin resistance, and cancer; they were really healthy people. Then you get the Polynesians, who were more vegetarian. The traditional Polynesians eat fruits, fish; it‘s a largely fish- based culture, and they were extremely healthy too. The Maasai in Africa were extremely healthy. They were studied by George Mann of Vanderbilt University during the 60s. They lived on raw milk, not pasteurized, and blood. That‘s 70 percent fat, but they were healthy – no heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. So humans adapted to a variety of environments – from the Serengeti plains to the high Andes to the Polynesian islands to the Arctic Circle – where there were different food sources. Humans adapted and it has really changed the genetics. A Polynesian doesn‘t have the same nutritional genetics as an Eskimo. An Eskimo doesn‘t have the same nutritional genetics that a Massai has. We have different groups of people thriving on completely different diets and we have to recognize that. People that promote one diet for everybody are mistaken; it doesn‘t make anthropological, nutritional, and genetic sense. Unlike most species, humans are a really varied species. We have adapted to, survived, and thrived on different anthropological niches. We have to answer to our ancestry. I have to eat red meat at least four or five times. I‘m not a pure carnivore, but I‘m on the carnivore side. I‘ve tried vegetarian diets as an experiment and I lasted about three days. I got so depressed that I just wanted to stop living. If I eat read meat I can work 14 hours a day, and I see the difference in myself in about two days when I switch diets. So that‘s very important, and I know that you appreciate that in your own work. Different people need different diets, and that should be the basis of all nutritional therapies today. (…)

Coffee Enemas Dr. Gonzalez: I‘ve done coffee enemas since I met Kelley. I was this really refined conventional medical student, and when I met Kelley I was doing things like carrot juice and coffee enemas, much to my classmates‘horror. I‘ve been doing coffee enemas for 30 years now and I think they‘re important and one of the most effective detoxification tools around. They really work.

Dr. Mercola: So you think it‘s a good idea for most people to do it proctologic ally? Dr. Gonzalez: Yeah, I‘m prejudiced. I think the whole world should do it. I was once speaking at a conference with mostly doctors out in Colorado, and there were quite a number of conventional doctors there who were interested in nutrition. One of them got up, and he was polite, but he kind of confrontationally said "Dr. Gonzalez, coffee enemas are abnormal. How can you defend them?" So I looked at him and I didn‘t know what he expected me to say and I said "I agree with you a hundred percent; they‘re totally abnormal. When you clean up the world, my patients will no longer have to do coffee enemas and I‘ll stop them too. Until the world is cleaned up, you have to do extra things and extraordinary things." Dr. Mercola: That‘s a pretty solid argument supporting your views. What is your recommendation for an ideal person and someone who‘s healthy? Dr. Gonzalez: I drink two pints each morning and each pint holds 10 minutes. I use my time productively. That‘s when I read journals. Dr. Mercola: You do it every day? I had no idea. Dr. Gonzalez: I do them every day, yeah. Every day of the year. I work 14- hour days. I treat very sick people from all over the world. I work seven days writing books, doing research, and keeping up with the literature. It‘s a lot of work and I don‘t complain. I love what I do. The reason I‘m able to keep up that pace is because I do my program. One of the things that I do religiously – Kelley did them every day of his life. I drink two pints. Each pint you hold 10 minutes. There are two pints in a quart. Half a quart is a pint, 10 minutes, poop it out. Then you do another pint, 10 minutes and you poop it out. They really make a difference. Dr. Mercola: What do you do to stay productive during that time? Dr. Gonzalez: I read, I keep up with my reading. You can‘t do much. You can‘t run around the block; you‘re kind of stuck there holding an enema. You get really good at it. I literally couldn‘t run around the block. I ―"lose it" without losing it, I should say. I use the time productively. It forces you to read and do useful things.

"Widespread adoption of the macrobiotic diet would have enormous benefits to our planet's life- support system." - John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America 102 "Macrobiotics is the art and science of health and longevity through the study and understanding of the relation and interactions between ourselves, the foods we eat, the lifestyles we choose to lead, and the environments in which we live. The macrobiotic approach to health recovery can be used along with conventional and alternative medical treatment and intervention, and is compatible with and adaptable to all forms of religious and traditional cultural practices." - Michio Kushi 103 "The greatest benefit of all from what happened on February 25, will be that more people facing cancer will be able to find out about the natural macrobiotic approach to cancer recovery, and like the six cases reviewed, will have new choices and the possibility of regaining a long and cancer- free life." - Kushi Institute 103 "My colleagues and I were impressed by the rigor with which they [i.e. the Kushi Institute] documented several remissions from cancer that could only have come about by the patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; strict adherence to the macrobiotic diet." - Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. "My own favorable experience with macrobiotics opened my eyes to the accumulating evidence that a wholegrain, leafy- vegetable, and bean diet can often prevent, arrest, and even reverse deadly degenerative diseases such as cancers, coronary heart attacks, and strokes." - Benjamin Spock, M.D.

atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made a deep impression on him, and he decided to devote his life to world peace and harmony. After the war, he continued graduate studies in Tokyo in international law. With the support of Norman Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review of Literature, Professor Shigeru Nanbara, chancellor of Tokyo University, and Rev. Toyohiko Kagawa, the Christian evangelist, he came to the United States in 1949 to pursue his studies of global peace. In New York, Michio Kushi continued graduate studies at Columbia University. He began to question the possibility of changing society through primarily political and social means and visited with Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann, Upton Sinclair, Robert M. Hutchins, Harold Urey, Pitirim Sokorin, and other prominent scientists, authors and statesmen. They all encouraged him with his search but told him they knew of no lasting solution to make humanity peaceful. In Japan, Michio Kushi had studied briefly with George Ohsawa at the Student World Government Association in Hiyoshi, near Tokyo. Ohsawa taught that food was the key to health and that health was the key to peace. By returning to a Reference: Biography of Michio Kushi, by Michio Kushi.

"Michio Kushi challenges us to see diseases as a message telling us of profound imbalances in our entire way of life. [He] provides valuable stimulus to our nation's growing attention to the links between diet and health." - Frances Moore Lappe, author of Diet for a Small Planet 105 "I have prescribed Michio Kushi's dietary approach for everything from uterine fibroid tumors to menopausal symptomsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with great success." - Christiane Northrup, M.D. 104 "Persons who have no desire to live have a very slight chance of recovery. We can continue to extend to them our love, sympathy, and prayers; but ultimately we must respect a person's decision to die." - Michio Kushi 103 "Constantly seek difficulties. You shouldn't be afraid to fail; rather you should fail continually, so that you can win in the end. Without difficulties, we cannot grow." - Michio Kushi 103 The most important thing you can teach anyone is to think for yourself when making a decision about diet and lifestyle. - Michio Kushi 103 "When we see the human race, we must see before all else environment and food. Historians write about social change without taking these factors into account. This is why it is difficult for them to see the reasons decline and prosperity in society." - Michio Kushi 103 "Many people believe that they were made by their parents: 'I didn't ask to be born.' they cry. This is completely wrong. Please try to remember when your were five. If you try then you will remember that this memory had no beginning. It seems as if you can remember living infinitely; that your life didn't begin when you were born but continues without limit." - Michio Kushi 103

traditional diet of whole, natural foods, he believed that humanity would regain its physical and mental balance and become more peaceful. While living in New York, Michio Kushi experienced positive changes in his own health and consciousness after changing his way of eating. Over the next ten years, with the support of his wife, Aveline, Michio Kushi began to study traditional and modern approaches to diet and health and natural order and to teach macrobiotics (the Greek term for "Great Life" or "Long Life," first used by Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. In the early 1960's, Michio Kushi and his family moved to Boston and founded Erewhon, the nation's pioneer natural foods distributor, to make organically grown whole foods and naturally processed foods available. These included brown rice, whole wheat berries, millet, barley, and other whole grains; miso, tofu, tempeh, tamari soy sauce, natto, and other soy products; a wide variety of fresh vegetables and fruits; azuki beans, chickpeas, lentils, and other beans; kombu, wakame, and other sea vegetables; rice cakes, sunflower and sesame seeds, barley malt and rice syrup, bancha tea, and other good quality snacks and beverages; and unrefined vegetable quality oils, sea salt, and other seasonings and condiments. Erewhon Trading Company was sold in 1983. Reference: Biography of Michio Kushi, by Michio Kushi. All rights reserved. http://www.michiokushi.org, http://www.kushiinstitute.org/ )

"It is easy to love friends and sweethearts. This is selfish love. Higher love embraces enemies and all ugly, bad people. The highest love doesn't see goodness or badness at all. One should even love warmongers, bad food producers and priests." - Michio Kushi 103 "An exclusive person hates ugliness, discomfort, enemies, sickness, poverty, ignorance. He finally concludes that there is no God and give himself over to abandonment." - Michio Kushi 103 When we see the sun and moon, the sky and stars, mountains and rivers, seas and forests, fields and valleys, birds and animals, and all the wonders of nature, let us remember that we have come with them all from the infinite universe. Let us be thankful for our environment on earth and live in harmony with all that surrounds us. - Michio Kushi 103 "You, the real you, which is creating your body and judging every day - that is the Infinite Universe itself." - Michio Kushi. 103 "As you know macrobiotics has helped thousands of sick people; but this is kindergarten. The purpose of macrobiotics is to become free to change all of this world into what we want - unhappiness to happiness, sickness to health, war to peace, misery to love. When you attain this freedom you become the children of the Kingdom of Heaven." - Michio Kushi "Rather than being a fixed or limited regime, eating macrobiotically is as flexible and varied as the world itself." - Aveline Kushi

During the last twenty- five years, Michio Kushi has lectured in the United States and around the world on diet, health consciousness, and the peaceful meeting of East and West. In 1971 his students founded the East West Journal, and in the following year the East West Foundation was started to spread macrobiotic education and research. In 1978, Michio and Aveline founded the Kushi Institute, and educational organization for the training of future leaders of society, including macrobiotic teachers, councelors, and cooks, with affiliates in London, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Florence, Barcelona, Lisbon, and other European capitals. As a further means toward addressing problems of world health and world peace, Michio Kushi established Macrobiotic Congresses which met periodically in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and the Caribbean, drawing delegates from many states and nation. In the 1980s, Michio Kushi met with government and social leaders at the United Nations, the World Health Organization, UNESCO, the White House, and in many foreign countries. His seminars and lectures on the relation of diet and degenerative disease and the reconstruction of modern humanity have attracted thousands of doctors, nurses, nutritionists, and other health care professionals.

"The idea of natural agriculture is so simple. I can tell it to you in ten minutes .....The absolute and final target is: "non- doing"... Look at the big forest nature has produced. 'Man' did not put them there...With natural agriculture 'man' is more a food gatherer than a farmer. It would be like hunting down vegetables...a whole new experience more like a game" - Michio Kushi 103 Macrobiotics and Cancer In the first major scientific study of the macrobiotic approach to cancer, researchers at Tulane University reported that the 1- year survival rate among patients with pancreatic cancer was significantly higher among those who modified their diet than among those who did not (17 months versus 6 months). The one- year survival rate was 54.2 percent in the macrobiotic patients versus 10.0 percent in the controls. All comparisons were statistically significant. For patients with metastatic prostate cancer, a case control study demonstrated that those who ate macrobiotically lived longer (177 months compared to 91 months) and enjoyed an improved quality of life. The researchers concluded that the macrobiotic approach may be an effective adjunctive treatment to conventional treatment or in primary management of cancers with a nutritional association. "This exploratory analysis suggests that a strict macrobiotic diet is more likely to be effective in the long- term management of cancer than are diets that provide a variety of other foods," the study concluded. - James P. Carter et al., Journal of the American College of Nutrition 1993. http://www.kushiinstitute.org 106

Harvard Medical School, the Framingham Heart Study, Boston University, Columbia- Presbyterian Hospital in New York, and other universities, hospitals, and clinics have reported on the benefits of the macrobiotic diet in The New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association , and other professional journals. The Lemuel Shattuck Hospital in Boston, the Powhatan State Penitentiary near Richmond, Virginia, and other institutions began serving macrobiotic food prepared by graduates and teachers of the Kushi Institute. In 1987 Michio Kushi, his wife, and a team of macrobiotic medical associates were invited by the government of the Republic of the Congo to visit West Africa and give a symposium on the macrobiotic approach to AIDS in Brazzaville. The conference was convened at the World Health Organization regional headquarters and was attended by two hundred doctors. In 1989, Michio Kushi visited Yugoslavia and Hungary and was invited by officials in the ministries of health and food production to develop more natural approaches to agriculture and health treatment in those countries. Meanwhile, macrobiotics spread to the Soviet Union and other Eastern European countries, especially among physicians and health care practicioners.

Research on Cancer and Macrobiotics In a study of patients with advanced malignancies who followed a macrobiotic way of eating, Vivien Newbold, M.D., a Philadelphia physician documented six cases of remission. The patients had pancreatic cancer with metastases to the liver; malignant melanoma; malignant astrocytoma; endometrial stromal sarcoma; adenocarcinoma of the colon; and inoperable intra- abdominal leimyosarcoma. Review of CT scans and other medical tests revealed no evidence of tumors after adherence to the macrobiotic diet. All of the patients (except for one whose cancer came back after she discontinued macrobiotics) were reported working full time, leading very active lives, and feeling in excellent health. The cases were all reviewed independently and the diagnoses confirmed by the pathology and radiology departments of Holy Redeemer Hospital in Meadowbrook, Pa. In a review of her study, Congressional investigators recommended further research on the macrobiotic approach to cancer: "If cases such as Newbold's were presented in the medical literature, it might help stimulate interest among clinical investigators in conducting controlled, prospective trials of macrobiotic regimens, which could provide valid data on effectiveness." - Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), Unconventional Cancer Treatments (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1990). http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 107

In the 1990s, Michio Kushi developed the One Peaceful World Network- - a global membership organization of macrobiotic friends, businesses, educational centers, and other associations- - which helps lead the planet safely into this century and ensure humanity's continued biological and spiritual evolution. Toward this end, a One Peaceful World Village is being constructed in Becket, Massachusetts, on the Kushi Institutes's 600- acre site in the Berkshire Mountains. In addition to new educational facilities, the Village will eventually develop into a self- supporting community for macrobiotic friends and families from around the world. In 1987, Michio and Aveline Kushi began annual One Peaceful World Tours to Japan to introduce Westerners to the culture of the Far East, and in 1989 the first One Peaceful World Tour to America was introduced, bringing 30 Japanese to the West. In the future tours to Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America will be developed. In 1995 demand for macrobiotic services increased as the organization of a new food corporation for the distribution of the highest quality macrobiotic food in retail health food stores and the offering of exquisitely prepared full macrobiotic meals at major international hotels both signaled the continuation of Michio Kushi's commitment to making available the best Reference: Biography of Michio Kushi, by Michio Kushi.

Soy Sauce and Cancer "The high rate of stomach cancer in Japan caused some Japanese scientists to speculate that a diet high in soy sauce might be a factor. However, researchers at the University of Wisconsin observed just the opposite. In laboratory tests, mice given fermented soy sauce experienced 26 percent less cancer than mice on the regular diet. Also soy- supplemented mice averaged about one- quarter the number of tumors per mouse as the control group. Soy sauce "exhibited a pronounced anticarcinogenic effect," the researchers concluded." - J. Raloff, "A Soy Sauce Surprise," Science News, 139:357, 1991. http://www.kushiinstitute.org 107 Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 107 Soy Foods and Cancer "At a workshop sponsored by the National Cancer Institute on the role of soy products in cancer prevention, medical researchers presented evidence that soybeans and soy products such as tofu, miso, and tempeh can help prevent the onset of induced cancer in laboratory animals. "The consensus of the meeting was that there are sufficient data to justify studying the impact of soybean intake on cancer risk in humans," the researchers reported." - Source: Mark Messina and Stephen Barnes, "The Role of Soy Products in Reducing Risk of Cancer," Journal of the National Cancer Institute 83:54146, 1991. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 107

quality food to the largest number of people. The Kushi Macrobiotics Corporation, offering products for sale in retail stores under the founding of the Kushi Institute, began offering full course macrobiotic meals of the highest and most unique quality in all its hotels worldwide. These and other efforts continue to enlarge the field of individuals familiar with macrobiotics. Over the years, Michio Kushi's life and teachings have been profiled in the Boston Sunday Globe Magazine, Life Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, Paris- Match, Interview Magazine, and many other publications. He has been a guest speaker at the American Holistic Medical Association, the International Physicians Conference on Cancer, The Worldwide Congress on Human Rights, Le Linge Blue, and the World Symposium of Humanity. In 1985, he was named General President of the World Federation of Natural Alternative Medicine, an association of 300 natural medical health care organizations with international headquarters in Madrid. (â&#x20AC;Ś) He and his wife have five children and thirteen grandchildren.

Miso Soup and Cancer "A diet rich in soyfoods, especially miso soup, produces genistein, a natural substance that blocked the growth of new blood vessels that feed a tumor, scientists reported. Researchers from Children's University Hospital in Heidelberg, Germany, reported that genistein also deterred cancer cells from multiplying and could have significant implications for the prevention and treatment of solid malignancies, including those of the brain, breast, and prostate." - Chemists Learn Why Vegetables Are Good for You," New York Times, April 13, 1993. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 107

Cancer and Longevity in Japan "Epidemiologists reported that cancer of the lung, breast, and colon increased two to three times among Japanese women between 1950 and 1975. During that period, milk consumption increased fifteen times; meat, eggs, and poultry climbed seven and a half times; and rice consumption dropped 70 percent. In Okinawa, with the highest proportion of centenarians, longevity was associated with lowered sugar and salt intake and higher intake of protein and green and yellow vegetables." Y. Kagawa, "Impact of Westernization on the Nutrition of Japan," Preventive Medicine 7:20517, 1978. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 107

What is Macrobiotics? (The following information is excerpted from: What is Macrobiotics? by Phiya Kushi, Kushi Institute â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Center for natural healing. http://www.kushiinstitute.org )

The macrobiotic approach is based on the view that we are the result of and are continually influenced by our total environment, which ranges from the foods we eat and our daily social interactions to the climate and geography in which we live. In considering all factors that influence our lives, the macrobiotic approach to health and healing views sickness as the natural attempt of the body to return to a more harmonious and dynamic state with the natural environment. As what we choose to eat and drink and how we live our lives are primary environmental factors that influence our health and create who we are, the macrobiotic approach emphasizes the importance of proper dietary and lifestyle habits. The macrobiotic approach is based on principles, theories and practices that have been known to philosophers, scholars, and physicians throughout history. The term "macrobiotics" comes from Greek ("macro" meaning "large" or "long", and "bios" meaning "life") and was first coined by Hippocrates, the father of western medicine. Its most recent development stems from Michio Kushi who was inspired by philosopher- writer George Ohsawa. George Ohsawa published numerous works in Japanese, English and French, which combined the western traditions of macrobiotics with 5,000 years of traditional oriental medicine.

Diet vs. Conventional Treatment "In 1985 the National Cancer Institute reported that radiation therapy and chemotherapy were ineffective and in some cases produced toxic side- effects as follow- ups to surgery in the treatment of cancer. "Except possibly in selected patients with cancer of the stomach, there has been no demonstrated improvement in the survival of patients with the ten most common cancers when radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or both have been added to surgical resection." The ten most common cancers include lung, colorectum, breast, prostate, uterus, bladder, pancreas, stomach, skin, and kidney. Shortly after the report was published, the author, Dr. Steven A. Rosenberg, the N.C.I.'s chief of surgery, operated on President Ronald Reagan's colon cancer and instead of chemotherapy or radiation treatment put him on a modified whole grain diet." - Steven A. Rosenberg, New England Journal of Medicine 1985. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 108 Japanese Migrants "In 1968 an epidemiological study indicated that dietary habits and environmental influences are the chief determinants of the world's varying cancer rates and not genetic factors. Data showed that in the course of three generations, Japanese migrants in the United States contracted colon cancer at the same rates as the general American population. In contrast, the regular colon cancer rate in Japan remained about onefourth the American incidence." - W. Haenszel et al., Journal of the National Cancer Institute 40:43- 68. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 109

By using macrobiotic principles to address and adjust environmental, dietary and lifestyle influences, thousands of individuals have been able to prolong their lives by recovering from a wide range of illnesses including heart disease, cancer, diabetes and many others (view some of these recovery testimonials on our library pages). The macrobiotic approach to health recovery can be used along with conventional and alternative medical treatment and intervention and is compatible with and adaptable to all forms of religious and traditional cultural practices. Some traditional and basic macrobiotic practices include eating more whole grains, beans and fresh vegetables, increasing variety in food selections and traditional cooking methods, eating regularly and less in quantity, chewing more and maintaining an active and positive life and mental outlook. General dietary and lifestyle guidelines for persons living in a temperate, four seasons climate have been established by Michio Kushi. These guidelines outline basic dietary proportions along with healthier lifestyle habits and are not intended to define a specific regimen that one must follow, as additional adjustments are required for individual application which will vary according to personal situations. If you are seeking specific advice we recommend that you visit the Kushi Institute and meet with a Macrobiotic Counselor (â&#x20AC;Ś). Following are Michio Kushi's standard macrobiotic dietary and lifestyle suggestions.

Diet and Colon Cancer "Eating more whole grains, vegetables, and fruit may lower a person's risk for colorectal cancer by up to 40 percent. Researchers at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia looked at thirtyseven studies involving 10,000 people in fifteen countries and reported that those who ate a diet high in whole grains and other plant- quality foods had about 40 percent less risk of this disease. - Bruce Tock, Elaine Lanza, and Peter Greenwald, "Dietary Fiber, Vegetables, and Colon Cancer: Critical Review and Meta- analyses of the Epidemiologic Evidence," Journal of the National Cancer Institute 82:650- 661, 1990.

http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 107 Diet and Colon Cancer "Men in Finland consume a lot of fat and have the highest heart disease rate in the industrialized world. Yet they have one of the lowest colon cancer rates (one- third that of the U.S.). Researchers around the world have found that whole cereal grains protect against colon cancer by reducing bile acid concentrates in the large intestine and giving bulk to the feces. Investigators found that Finnish men consume high amounts of whole rye bread and had bowel movements three times bulkier than men in other Western countries as well as reduced amounts of bile acid buildup." - H. N. Englyst et al., "Nonstarch Polysaccharide Concentrations in Four Scandinavian Populations, "Nutrition & Cancer 4:50- 60, 1982. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 107

Food categories and general daily proportions for persons living in a temperate climate: Whole Cereal Grains • 40 - 60% by weight • Organically grown, whole grain is recommended, which can be cooked in a variety of cooking methods. • Grains include: Brown rice, barley, millet, oats, corn, rye, wheat, and buckwheat. While whole grains are recommended, a small portion of the recommended percentage of grains may consist of noodles or pasta, un- yeasted whole grain breads, and other partially processed whole cereal grains. Vegetables • Approximately 20 - 30% by weight • Local and organically grown vegetables are recommended, with the majority being cooked in various styles such as lightly steamed or boiled, sautéed with a small amount of unrefined, cold pressed oil, etc. A small portion may be used as fresh salad and a very small volume as pickles. • Vegetables for daily use include: green cabbage, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, collards, pumpkin, watercress, parsley, Chinese cabbage, bok choy, dandelion, mustard greens, daikon greens, scallion, onions, daikon radish,

201

Vegetables and Colon Cancer "In Norway, researchers examined the colons of 155 people in their fifties who had no signs of colon cancer. Half had polyps growing in the colon; the half with no polyps ate more cruciferous vegetables. The less cruciferous vegetables consumed, the greater the risk for polyps and the larger and more abnormal the polyps." - G. Hoff et. al., Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology 21:199, 1986. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 107 Beans and Bile Acids "Beans lowered bile acid production by 30 percent in men with a tendency toward elevated bile acid. Bile acids are necessary for proper fat digestion but in excess have been associated with causing cancer, especially in the large intestine. Case- control studies showed that pinto and navy beans were effective in lowering bile acid production in men at high risk for this condition." - J. Anderson, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 110 Lentils and Esophageal Tumors "A study in the Caspian littoral of Iran, an area of high esophageal cancer, associated this disease with lower intake of lentils and other pulses, cooked green vegetables, and other whole foods." - H. Hormozdiari et al., Cancer Research 35:3493- 98, 1975. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 111

turnips, burdock, carrots, winter squash such as butternut, buttercup, and acorn squash. • For occasional use in season (2 to 3 times a week); cucumber, celery, lettuce, herbs such as dill and chives. Vegetables not recommended for regular use include: potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, spinach, beets, and zucchini. Beans & Sea Vegetables • Approximately 5 - 10 % by weight • The most suitable beans for regular use are azuki beans, chickpeas, and lentils. Other beans may be used on occasion. Bean products such as tofu, tempeh, and natto can also be used. Sea vegetables such as nori, wakame, kombu, hiziki, arame, dulse, and agaragar are an important part of the macrobiotic diet as they provide important vitamins and minerals. Soups • Soups may be made with vegetables, sea vegetables, grains, or beans. Seasonings include miso, tamari soy sauce, and sea salt.

202

Fiber and Esophageal Cancer "An epidemiological study found that populations with a low risk of esophageal cancer in Africa and Asia consume more millet, cassava, yams, peanuts, and other foods high in fiber or starch than high- risk groups." - S. J. van Rensburg, Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1981. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 112 Diet and Leukemia in chickens "In 1972 a Japanese scientist reported that leukemia in chickens could be reversed by feeding them a mixture of whole grains and salt. The experiment was conducted by Keiichi Morishita, M.D., technical chief for the Tokyo Red Cross Blood Center and vice president of the New Blood Association." - K. Morishita, M.D., The Hidden Truth of Cancer 1972). http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 113 Vegetables and Lung Cancer "A Chicago study found that regular consumption of foods containing beta carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, protected against lung cancer. Over a period of nineteen years, a group of 1,954 men at a Western Electric plant were monitored, and those who regularly consumed carrots, dark green lettuce, spinach, broccoli, kale, Chinese cabbage, peaches, apricots, and other carotene- rich foods had significantly lower lung cancer rates than controls." - R. B. Shekelle et al., http://www.kushiinstitute.org114 Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved.

Beverages • Recommended beverages include: • Roasted bancha twig tea, stem tea, roasted brown rice tea, roasted barley tea, dandelion root tea, and cereal grain coffee. Any traditional tea that does not have an aromatic fragrance or a stimulating effect can also be used. • When drinking water, spring or good quality well water is recommended, without ice. Occasional Foods • Recommended fish include fresh white- meat fish such as flounder, sole, cod, carp, halibut or trout. • Fruit or fruit desserts, made from fresh or dried fruit, may be served two or three times a week. Local and organically grown fruits are preferred. If you live in a temperate climate, avoid tropical and semitropical fruit and instead, eat temperate climate fruits such as apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, berries and melons. Frequent use of fruit juice is not advisable. • Lightly roasted nuts and seeds such as pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds. Peanuts, walnuts and pecans may be enjoyed as an occasional snack. • Rice syrup, barley malt, amasake, and mirin may be used as sweeteners. • Brown rice vinegar or umeboshi vinegar may be used occasionally for a sour taste.

Sea Vegetables and Sarcomas "Japanese scientists reported that several varieties of kombu and mojaban, common sea vegetables eaten in Asia and traditionally used as a decoction for cancer in Chinese herbal medicine, were effective in the treatment of tumors in laboratory experiments. In three of four samples tested, inhibition rates in mice with implanted sarcomas ranged from 89 to 95 percent. The researchers reported that "the tumor underwent complete regression in more than half of the mice of each treated group. " Similar experiments on mice with leukemia showed promising results." - I. Yamamoto et al., Japanese Journal of Experimental Medicine 1974. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi 115 All rights reserved. Miso Soup and Stomach Cancer "Japan's National Cancer Center reported that people who eat miso soup daily are 33 percent less likely to contract stomach cancer and 19 percent less likely to contract cancer at other sites than those who never eat miso soup. The thirteen- year study, involving about 265,000 men and women over forty, also found that those who never ate miso soup had a 43 percent higher death rate from coronary heart disease than those who consumed miso soup daily. Those who abstained from miso also had 29 percent more fatal strokes, three and a half times more deaths resulting from high blood pressure, and higher mortality from all other causes." - T. Hirayama, Nutrition and Cancer 3:223- 33, 1981. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi 116

Recommended condiments • Gomashio, seaweed powder (kelp, kombu, wakame, and other sea vegetables), Sesame seaweed powder, umeboshi plums, tekka, pickles and sauerkraut made using sea salt, miso, or tamari. Additional Dietary Suggestions • Cooking oil should be vegetable quality only. To improve your health, it is preferable to use only unrefined sesame or corn oil in moderate amounts. • Salt should be naturally processed sea salt. Traditional, non- chemicalized shoyu or tamari soy sauce and miso may also be used as seasonings. Foods to Eliminate for Better Health • Meat, animal fat, eggs, poultry, dairy products(including butter, yogurt, ice cream, milk and cheese), refined sugars, chocolate, molasses, honey, other simple sugars and foods treated with them, and vanilla. • Tropical or semitropical fruits and fruit juices, soda, artificial drinks and beverages, coffee, colored tea, and all aromatic stimulating teas such as mint or peppermint tea. • All artificially colored, preserved, sprayed, or chemically treated foods. All refined and polished grains,

204

Fat and Lung Cancer "In a review of the relation of diet, lifestyle, and lung cancer, researchers found that calories from dietary fat were highly significantly associated with lung cancer mortality. For example, male lung cancer deaths are highest in West European countries where a high- fat diet is consumed, and lowest in Thailand, Philippines, Honduras, Guatemala, and Japan where a low- fat diet is eaten. While noting that smoking is still the major causative factor of lung cancer, the scientists theorized that a high- fat diet might also trigger the process by which cigarette smoke is harmful to the lungs. It is conceivable that "tobacco smoke is readily oxidized to the ultimate carcinogen as a consequence of a high- fat diet." - Ernst L. Wynder, James R. Hebert et al. Journal of the National Cancer Institute 1987. http://www.kushiinstitute.org117 Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. Shiitake and Sarcomas "Japanese scientists at the National Cancer Center Research Institute reported that shiitake mushrooms had a strong antitumor effect. In experiments with mice, polysaccharide preparations from various natural sources, including the shiitake mushroom commonly available in Tokyo markets, markedly inhibited the growth of induced sarcomas resulting in "almost complete regression of tumors . . . with no sign of toxicity." - G. Chihara et al., Cancer Research 1970. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 118

flours, and their derivatives, massproduced industrialized food including all canned, frozen, and irradiated foods. • Hot spices, any aromatic stimulating food or food accessory, artificial vinegar, and strong alcoholic beverages. Macrobiotic Lifestyle Suggestions • Eat only when hungry. • Proper chewing (around 50 times or more per mouthful) is important for good digestion and assimilation of nutrients. • Eat in an orderly and relaxed manner. When you eat, sit with a good posture and take a moment to express gratitude for the food. • You may eat regularly two or three times per day, as much as you want, provided the proportion is generally correct and each mouthful is thoroughly chewed. It is best to leave the table satisfied but not full. • Drink liquids moderately, only when thirsty. • For the deepest and most restful sleep, retire before midnight and avoid eating at least 2 to 3 hours before sleeping. • Wash as needed, but avoid long hot baths or showers which deplete the body of minerals.

205

Chewing and Cancer "An Indian cancer researcher concluded that thorough chewing lowered the risk of cancer. "The proper chewing of meals ensuring that mucous- rich saliva mixed with the food seemed to be protective factors." Cancer also appeared to be more prevalent in South India where white rice and considerably more fat, oil, and spices are used in cooking than in Northern India where wholegrain chapatis and thick dal made with lentils are the staple." - S. L. Malhotra, Medical Hypotheses 3:122- 26, 1977. http://www.kushiinstitute.org 119 Diet and Leukemia "In one of the first studies of the relationship between diet and leukemia, researchers found a strong correlation between total caloric intake and both lymphoid and total leukemia incidence, especially among males. "The findings from this rigorous analysis of international data strengthen and expand the hypothesis based on previous simple correlation analyses and animal experiments that an underlying biological relationship exists between diet, particularly energy intake, and international variations in the incidence of certain types of human leukemia." - S. D. Hursting et al., Preventive Medicine 1993. http://www.kushiinstitute.org 120 Diet and Pancreatic Cancer "In a study of risk factors for pancreatic cancer, researchers found that mortality from this disease was associated with increased consumption of meat, the smoking of cigarettes, and alcohol intake." - W. Zheng et al., Cancer Causes and Control 4:477- 82, 1993. http://www.kushiinstitute.org 121

• Use cosmetics and cleaning products that are made from natural, nontoxic ingredients. Avoid chemicallyperfumed products. For care of the teeth, brush with natural preparations. • As much as possible, wear cotton clothing, especially for undergarments. Avoid wearing synthetic or woolen clothing directly on the skin. Avoid wearing excessive accessories on the fingers, wrists, neck, or any other part of the body. • Spend time outdoors if strength permits. Walk on the grass, beach or soil up to one half hour every day. Spend some time in direct sunlight. • Exercise regularly. Activities may include walking, yoga, martial arts, dance, etc. • Include some large green plants in the home to freshen and enrich the oxygen content of the air. Open windows daily to permit fresh air to circulate, even in cold weather. • Keep your home in good order, especially the areas where food is prepared and served. • To increase circulation and elimination of toxins, scrub the entire body with a hot, damp towel every morning or every night. If that is not possible, at least scrub the hands, feet, fingers and toes.

206

Fruits and Vegetables and Cancer "In a review of 200 studies that examined the relationship between fruit and vegetable intake and cancer at selected sites, researchers found that consumption of these foods offered a significantly protective effect in 128 of 156 dietary studies in which results were expressed in terms of relative risk. For lung cancer, these foods were protective in 24 of 25 studies after control for smoking in most instances. Fruit was protective for tumors of the esophagus, oral cavity, and larynx in 28 of 29 studies. Vegetables and fruit were protective in 26 of 30 studies for the pancreas and stomach, as well as in colorectal and bladder cancers (23 of 38 studies). For malignancies of the cervix, ovary, and endometrium, a significant protective effect was shown in 11 of 13 studies. In breast cancer, a protective effect was found to be strong and consistent in meta- analysis. Overall, the relative risk of cancer was about twice as high for those eating few fruits and vegetables compared to those who ate plenty of these foods. "In 1854, John Snow stopped a cholera epidemic simply by taking the handle off the pump. The research presented above suggests that consumption of fruits and vegetables may be a handle that, if manipulated by public policy, clinical advice, and public education, could have a substantial impact on a wide range of cancers," the researchers concluded. " - Gladys Block et al., Nutrition and Cancer 18:1- 29, 1992. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 122

• Avoid using electric cooking devices (ovens and ranges) or microwave ovens. The use of a gas or wood stove is preferred. • Use earthenware, cast iron, or stainless steel cookware rather than aluminum or Teflon- coated pots. • Minimize the frequent use of television and computer display units. When using a computer, protect yourself from potentially harmful electromagnetic fields with a protective shield over the screen and other safety devices. • Sing a song!

Broccoli and Cancer "Scientists at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine reported that they had identified the ingredient in broccoli that worked as a powerful anticancer compound in laboratory experiments. The chemical, sulforaphane, boosts the production of an important enzyme known to neutralize carcinogens before they trigger tumor growth. In addition to broccoli, sulforaphane is found in bok choy, ginger, scallions, and other vegetables." Paul Talalay, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, March 16, 1992. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 107 Lymphoma and Diet "Persons who regularly eat cereal grains, pulses, vegetables, seeds, and nuts are less likely to get lymphoma or Hodgkin's disease than persons who do not usually eat these foods, according to a 1976 survey based on World Health Organization data." - A. S. Cunningham, Lancet 2:1184- 86. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 123

Tofu and Stomach Cancer "Japanese cancer researchers found that people who regularly ate tofu were at less risk for stomach cancer than those who did not." - T. Hirayama, Tokyo: University of Tokyo Press, 1971. http://www.kushiinstitute.org Copyright by Michio Kushi All rights reserved. 124

The Role of Early Detection and Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Women's Cancers, Testimony of Michio Kushi (The following information is excerpted from: The Role of Early Detection and Complementary, and Alternative Medicine in Women's Cancers, Testimony of Michio Kushi, Full Government Reform Committee Hearing U.S. House of Representatives 2154 Rayburn House Office Building (1999),.http://www.michiokushi.org/ Copyright by Michio Kushi, All rights reserved) 127

Dear Honorable Chairman and Government Reform Committee Members, I appreciate the fact that conventional medicine has developed its technology for the diagnosis and treatment of various sicknesses, which are ever increasing and becoming more complex. We desire for the continuous support of its physical and chemical approaches for the treatment of sickness. On the other hand, among people, and especially among those more intellectual, there has been rapidly increasing awareness of the limitations of conventional medicinal care. Such limitations can be summarized as follows: 1. The conventional approach is a symptomatic approach, not revealing and applying an understanding of the cause of these sicknesses, until very recent times. 2. Professionals engaged in conventional medicine often lack an understanding and support of other healthcare approaches. 3. Conventional treatment, including its way of diagnosis, has always produced side effects, especially when treatments are over applied, often to the extent of severe suffering of those who receive such treatments. 4. The conventional ways of diagnosis and medical treatment are expensive, often beyond the average person's income; this results in government or public or insurance systems needing to be applied. Based upon these points, those who are dissatisfied with conventional medical approaches have searched for other health care approaches, which are comprehensively Reference: Phiya Kushi, What is Macrobiotics ? http://www.kushiinstitute.org/ by Michio Kushi All rights reserved

called "alternative and complementary health practices." Such tendencies have been increasing for the past forty years, and now about fifty percent of those who are suffering are searching for and receiving unconventional methods. Let us use examples such as women's health, especially today focusing on the problem of cancer. 1. According to the experience of my associates and me for the past forty years, many women are hesitant to receive chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and other intensive treatments. 2. Many women who are under conventional care want to seek other ways because of their intense suffering experiences, both physically and emotionally. They seek other milder approaches. 3. Many patients wonder what is the cause of the cancer from which they are suffering, and yet they do not receive satisfactory answers. The causes of women's cancers, as of most physical and emotional sicknesses, lie in daily lifestyle and dietary practices. 1. In the case of breast cancer, the major causes are overconsumption of fatty food, including dairy food, and simple carbohydrates, including refined sugar and sweets. 2. In the case of ovarian cancer, the major dietary factors are the overconsumption of eggs and poultry, as well as other high fat animal food. 3. In the case of uterine cancer, dietary causes include the overconsumption of animal food and heavy dairy fat, such as that in cheese. 4. In the case of cervical cancer, similar to prostate cancer in men) the primary dietary factors are the overconsumption of oily and greasy foods; salty foods; hard baked flour products; as well as heavy animal foods.

209

5. In the case of thyroid cancer, again eggs, poultry, dairy fat such as cheese, and hard baked flour products are the primary causes. 6. In the case of pancreatic cancer, poultry, cheese, shellfish, and hard baked flour products contribute. 7. In the case of skin cancer, the causes include oily foods, sweets, and fatty foods. 8. In the case of leukemia and lymphomas, the dietary causes include the overconsumption of dairy fat, Sugar, and sweets, as well as oily and greasy foods. Over- consumption of stimulants and aromatic substances, such as hot spices, alcoholic beverages, and caffeine, accelerate the spread of a cancer condition. Of course, lifestyle factors, such as exposure to high electromagnetic fields or radiation or smoking may accelerate the development of cancer, as does consumption of unnatural chemically- treated food and water. Non- organic chemically- cultivated agriculture, irradiation, microwave cooking, and other such methods of unnatural food production and artificial processing, along with daily unnatural lifestyle, are seriously questionable as well. The macrobiotic approach, which tries to correct these undesirable points of current American lifestyle and dietary practice, has been practiced by many people since the 1960s, beginning from the grassroots. It initiated the natural food movement and organic agriculture, and now is spreading to many millions of people. As a healthcare practice, this approach has helped to prevent and to affect recovery from many, including many kinds of women's cancers.

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)

222

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

223

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." 224

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 225

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!
