"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.

No apologies or excuses.

No one to lean on, rely on, or blame.

The gift is yours... it is an amazing journey... and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.

This is the day your life really begins."

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 wouldn’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.

9

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 – 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 lifesaving potential. It is also a safe alternative for you unless you are interested in cultivating and maintaining chronic diseases with chemical drugs and barbaric 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!

11

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!

12

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...?

13

The good news is that cancer CAN be PREVENTED effectively. It CAN also be HEALED – with the right KNOWLEDGE and DISCIPLINE. To admit that you have a problem is the first step to solving it. Cancer is projected for EVERY second male and every third female by 2030. In other words: you cannot stop your body from developing cancerous cells, but you CAN DO a lot to expunge them out safely and efficiently by cultivating a STRONG DEFENSE SYSTEM and CREATING a POWERFUL BODY. If you care about your liberty and preserving it, you need to care about your health.

If you want to be healthy, study "The Education of Cancer Healing" study collection today. READ IT, LOVE IT, LIVE IT! Realize the severity of the situation, and act. TODAY. Take the responsibility for your health NOW, before you allow your health and freedom to be taken away by the world’s leading health industries.

Welcome to The Education of Cancer Healing, Volume 8: MARTYRS.

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.

16

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.

17

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.

18

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

Vitamins in Cancer Treatment

DENHAM HARMAN, M.D. Ph.D., (* 1916), Harman’s research was basic to many studies carried out by others in later years.

His work has been a great help in explaining why certain food factors are so valuable in the treatment of malignancies.

Working Summary: father of the freeradical theory of aging. He also discovered the role of antioxidants (vitamins C, E, and beta- carotene) in fighting heart disease and cancer. Pioneering aging research for five decades Books: D. Harman, "Role of Free Radicals in Mutation, Cancer, and Aging, and the Maintenance of Life," Antioxidant Biochemical Adaptation: Doorways to the New Science and Medicine by Drs. S. Levine and P. Kidd (The following information is excerpted from: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA)1

Dr. Denham Harman carried out landmark research into free radicals into the late 1950s; and, in 1962, he began releasing his findings to the scholarly world. He had discovered that free radicals are implicated in both the formation of cancer and the aging process. In the years since, many studies have been conducted by others which confirmed and advanced these findings. Certain factors in the body (especially vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, and beta- carotene) can block the action of common carcinogens.

"Some compounds contribute to antioxidant defense by chelating transition metals and preventing them from catalyzing the production of free radicals in the cell. Particularly important is the ability to sequester iron, which is the function of ironbinding proteins such as transferrin and ferritin.[26] Selenium and zinc are commonly referred to as antioxidant nutrients, but these chemical elements have no antioxidant action themselves and are instead required for the activity of some antioxidant enzymes."

this present book, each of these factors will be covered in detail. But it was Harman’s basic research which UNCOVERED the entire field of study.

Drs. S. Levine and P. Kidd greatly advanced the study of the field by gathering together a wide variety of findings in their 1984 book, Antioxidant Biochemical Adaptation: Doorways to the New Science and Medicine.

It is now known that FREE RADICALS can both initiate and promote CANCER, and those antioxidant nutrients are very useful in preventing and treating malignancies. The ability of the antioxidant nutrients to enhance the immune system and fight cancer is greater when they are all present in the body. Listing them once again, they are: vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, and betacarotene. Another powerful antioxidant nordihydroguaiaretic acid (KDGA), the most powerful ingredient in chaparral. KDGA was first discovered in 1942 and used during World War II—to preserve butter, fats, and oils in the tropics.

Food Antioxidants are Superior to Isolated Antioxidants (The following information was excerpted from: Food Antioxidants are Superior to Isolated Antioxidants written by Robert Thiel, Ph.D., Naturopath, Doctors’ Research, Inc., All rights Reserved, http://www.doctorsresearch.com/) 220- 318

Abstract: Although many people take isolated nutrients as antioxidant supplements, they may not be getting the benefits they hope for. While isolated nutrients have powerful antioxidant abilities in vitro, they rarely have significant antioxidant benefits in vivo. High antioxidant containing foods have proven benefit in humans (in vivo) and high antioxidant effects in vitro as well. High antioxidant containing plants and other herbs are recommended for those interested in obtaining true antioxidant benefits.

Introduction: We live in a world where free radicals can come from many sources and contribute to deterioration of health. "Sources of free radicals include pollutants, drugs, metal ions, radiation, high intakes of polyunsaturated fatty acids, strenuous exercise, mitochondrial dysfunction and smoking. These may result in damage to membrane lipids, proteins, nucleic acids and carbohydrates, which can result in cancer, neurological diseases, lung diseases, diabetes, vascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, aging and eye diseases" [221]. Each day, each cell in the human body endures 104 hits from free radicals—that is about three hundred trillion hits to the body per day!

Antioxidants can inhibit oxidation by giving away an oxygen molecule without requiring much energy. Oxidation is the addition of oxygen or the removal of hydrogen and can be caused by free radicals. An antioxidant can slow down or even stop the chain reaction of oxidation by giving away an electron without changing its stability. Many believe that since real antioxidants can prevent free radical damage that perhaps aging and various chronic conditions can, to some degree, be slowed down through the consumption of isolated antioxidant nutrients. Is this belief correct?

Reference: Food Antioxidants are Superior to Isolated Antioxidants written by Robert Thiel, Ph.D., Naturopath, Doctors’ Research, Inc.

23

It is true that free radical damage to the skin contributes greatly to the aged appearance of the skin [222]. It is true that the consumption of high antioxidant containing foods is associated with a decreased risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease [223]. It is true that the consumption of high amounts of antioxidant containing foods is correlated with reduced risk of Alzheimer’s [224]. "Epidemiological studies have shown that consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with reduced risk of chronic diseases.

Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables containing high levels of phytochemicals has been recommended to prevent chronic diseases related to oxidative stress in the human body" [225].

Yet, it is also true that every large clinical trial, which has used isolated antioxidant supplements, has failed to show benefit for cancer and cardiovascular disease [226,227]. It is also true that in a recent trial, "The intake of {ISOLATED} vitamin C, beta- carotene and vitamin E supplements was not significantly associated with the risk of Alzheimer's disease" [228]. "In two recent observational studies, higher dietary intakes of antioxidants {FOOD}, especially {FOOD} vitamin E, were found to be associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease. Neither study showed that supplemental {ISOLATED} vitamin E and vitamin C reduced the risk of Alzheimer's disease. These findings suggest the involvement of other nutritional factors that may be involved in the reduced risk" [229].

Food vs. Isolated Form Nutrients It should be understood that some who have concluded that antioxidant vitamins have little positive effect in vivo have normally failed to realize that the chemical forms of antioxidants used in these trials are often not quite the same as the form found in food.

Reference: Food Antioxidants are Superior to Isolated Antioxidants written by Robert Thiel, Ph.D., Naturopath, Doctors’ Research, Inc.

24

Food antioxidants, be they vitamins, minerals, or concentrated herbs are superior to the commonly sold non- foods (note only officially recognized vitamins/minerals are listed below): Food Nutrient Compared to USP Vitamin/Mineral Salt Beta-carotene Provides much greater beta-carotene diversity in blood [230] Vitamin C Over 15.6 times antioxidant effect [231] Vitamin E Up to 4.0 times the free radical scavenging strength [232] Selenium Nearly 2 times better retained [233] Zinc Better absorption, better form [234,235] Many have erroneously concluded that taking many times the quantity of isolated antioxidants will give the same effect as consuming food antioxidants. However, the differences are more than absorption or antioxidant effectiveness. Most isolated ‘antioxidant’ nutrients are chemically and structurally different from those found in foods and do not have the same effect in the human body (…)

Conclusion: Herbs and plants containing antioxidants offer unique benefits, which have not been synthetically duplicated.

Actually, no matter how much synthetic vitamins or industrially- processed rock ‘nutrients’ one takes orally, they will: 1) Never be a truly complete nutrient source.

2) Never replace all the functions of food/herbal vitamins and minerals.

3) Always be unnatural substances to the body.

4) Always strain the body by requiring that it detoxify or somehow dispose of their unnatural structures/chemicals.

Reference: Food Antioxidants are Superior to Isolated Antioxidants written by Robert Thiel, Ph.D., Naturopath, Doctors’ Research, Inc.

5) Never be utilized, absorbed, and retained the same as food/herbal nutrients.

6) Not be able to prevent advanced protein glycation end- product formation the same as food/herbal nutrients.

7) NEVER BE ABLE TO HAVE THE PROVEN ANTIOXIDANT EFFECTS THE SAME AS FOOD NUTRIENTS. 8) Always be industrial products.

9) Always be composed of petroleum- derivatives, hydrogenated sugars, and/or industrially- processed rocks.

10) Never build optimal health the same as food nutrients.

The standards of naturopathy agreed to in 1947 (at the Golden Jubilee Congress) included the statements, "Naturopathy does not make use of synthetic or inorganic vitamins...Naturopathy makes use of the healing properties of...natural foods, organic vitamins" [314]. Even back in the 1940s, professionals interested in natural health recognized the value of food, over non- food, vitamins.

Although many studies have demonstrated that isolated nutrients such as betacarotene, ascorbic acid, and alpha- tocopherol do have significant antioxidant effects in test tubes (in vitro), more recent research has raised serious questions as to whether these chemical isolates have significant antioxidant effects in humans (in vivo) [235,243,253].

Furthermore, in 1999 the Nobel Prize for medicine was awarded to Gunter Blobel who discovered that nutritional minerals need protein chaperones for absorption. Such protein chaperones do not exist in mineral salt forms which are commonly included in ‘antioxidant’ or multivitamin formulas. Protein chaperones do, of course, exist in foods such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae [315,316].

While it is known that diets focused on foods high in antioxidants can help prevent cancers [223], synthetic antioxidants appear to be so ineffective that they may actually Reference: Food Antioxidants are Superior to Isolated Antioxidants written by Robert Thiel, Ph.D., Naturopath, Doctors’ Research, Inc.

increase cancer risk [226]. Additionally, regarding cancer and other diseases, "The available evidence points to the benefits of food- derived antioxidants, but more evidence is needed before {ISOLATED} antioxidant…supplementation can be routinely recommended" [317].

"A predominantly plant- based diet reduces the risk for development of several chronic diseases. It is often assumed that antioxidants contribute to this protection, but results from intervention trials with single antioxidants administered as supplements quite consistently do not support any benefit. Because dietary plants contain several hundred different antioxidants" [297], it makes sense to consume food antioxidants and not individual, isolated ones.

Although some scientists think isolated nutrients have questionable and even negative effects, "It is doubtful that antioxidant- rich foods would have a negative impact on brain aging" [229]—or anything else for that matter. Humans are supposed to eat foods and not consume isolated USP nutrients (even if they are called ‘natural’ and even if they are called ‘antioxidants’). Since all free radical and oxidative substances do not get neutralized by all antioxidants, it makes sense to consume a variety of plants and/or antioxidant containing herbs—plants which contain hundreds of antioxidant compounds [235,309] .

"Unfortunately, a single purified substance will not always have the same antioxidant activity, nor provide the same clinical benefits as…combinations occurring in natural extracts" [98]. Some of these ‘purified’ substances have been shown to sometimes have pro- oxidant instead of antioxidant effects [239,240,252,253].

Why would anyone want to take isolated ‘antioxidants’ instead of foods or those antioxidant formulas which are only composed of 100% food?

„Dr. Gyorgyi work was ridiculled and suppressed."

(~ 1930 AD) Albert SzentGyorgyi, M.D., Ph.D. Nutthshell: The discoverer of Vitamin C

Albert Szent- Györgyi (1893- 1986) was a Hungarian physiologist who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937. He is credited with discovering vitamin C

(The following information is excerpted from: Foreword by Albert Szent- Gyorgyi to Irwin Stone’s book – The Healing Factor)

My own interest in ascorbic acid centered around its role in vegetable respiration and defense mechanisms. All the same, I always had the feeling that not enough use was made of it for supporting human health. The reasons were rather complex. The medical profession itself took a very narrow and wrong view.

Lack of ascorbic acid caused scurvy, so if there was no scurvy there was no lack of ascorbic acid. Nothing could be clearer than this. The only trouble was that scurvy is not a first symptom of lack but a final collapse, a premortal syndrome, and there is a very wide gap between scurvy and full health. But nobody knows what full health is! This could be found out by wide statistical studies, but there is no organization which could and would arrange such studies. Our society spends billions or trillions on killing and destruction but lacks the

"About 165 million years ago, when Nature had the evolution of the more active and stressful mammals in view, an important morphological and physiological decision had to be made.

The kidneys, while adequate as the site of ascorbic acid synthesis for the rather sluggish coldblooded vertebrates, were inadequate for the increased ascorbic acid needs of the more highly stressed mammals. The successful solution of this problem was the transfer of the enzymes for the production of ascorbic acid from the relatively small biochemicallycrowded kidney to the more spacious liver, which is the largest organ of the body. All present day mammals capable of synthesizing ascorbic acid are liver producers because any ancient form which did not make this transfer was so biochemically handicapped that they were eliminated by the forces of Evolution.

The present day birds, whose ancestors appeared about the same time as the mammals, still show this kidney- liver transition, Chaudhuri and Chatterjee.6 The older order of present day birds, such as the ducks, pigeons and hawks, synthesize their ascorbic acid in their kidneys, while in the more recent order of the perching and song birds, the Passeriformes, some produce ascorbic acid both in their kidneys and livers, others only in their liver. Some, like man, are incapable of synthesizing ascorbic acid at all."

relatively modest means demanded to keep its own health and prime interest cared for.

FULL HEALTH, in my opinion, is the condition in which we FEEL BEST and show the greatest resistance to disease. This leads us into statistics which demand organization. But there was also another, more individual difficulty. If you do not have sufficient vitamins and get a cold, and as a sequence pneumonia, your diagnosis will not be "lack of ascorbic acid" but "pneumonia." So you are way laid immediately. I think that mankind owes serious thanks to Irwin Stone for having kept the problem alive and having called Linus Pauling's attention to it.

On my last visit to Sweden, I was told that the final evidence has been found that ascorbic acid is quite harmless. An insane person had the fixed idea that he needed ascorbic acid so he swallowed incredible amounts of it for a considerable period without ill effects. So, apart from very specific conditions, ascorbic acid cannot hurt you. It does not hurt your pocket either, since it is very cheap. It is used for spraying trees.

"As Evolution proceeded, the primates appeared about 65 million years ago and like other mammals should be capable of synthesizing ascorbic acid in their livers. However, something happened during the evolution of the primates because it has been known for thousands of years that Man, unlike other mammals, was susceptible to scurvy.

Up until 1907 scurvy was considered a completely human disease as no other animal was known to be susceptible to it. In 1907, Holst and Frohlich7, working on ship beri- beri contracted aboard ship for the Norwegian Fishing Fleet, wanted a small mammal to substitute as a test animal for the pigeons then used. They fed guinea pigs the test diet, which produced beriberi in their pigeons, and much to their surprise, scurvy resulted instead.

Later it was shown that laboratory monkeys were also susceptible to scurvy. Man, guinea pigs and certain monkeys, unlike other mammals, cannot make their own ascorbic acid.

VITAMIN C HAS BEEN KNOWN TO FIGHT 30 MAJOR DISEASES ... FOR OVER 50 YEARS "If so, why haven't you heard more about it? Why haven't more doctors used vitamin C as medicine?

Progress takes time. Fresh fruit was known to cure scurvy by 1753, yet governments ignored the fact for nearly 100 years. Countless thousands died in the meantime. The 19th century doctor who first advocated washing one's hands between patients died ignored and in disgrace with the medical profession. The toxic metal mercury was used as medicine into the twentieth century.

The first physician to aggressively use vitamin C to cure disease was Frederick R. Klenner, MD, beginning back in the early 1940's. Dr. Klenner successfully treated chicken pox, measles, mumps, tetanus and polio with huge doses of the vitamin.

The following is a complete list of the conditions that Dr. Klenner (The first physician to aggressively use vitamin C to cure disease) found that responded to extremely high dose vitamin C therapy: Pneumonia, Encephalitis, Herpes Zoster (shingles), Herpes Simplex, Mononucleosis, Pancreatitis, Hepatitis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Bladder Infection, Alcoholism, Arthritis, Some Cancers, Leukemia, Atherosclerosis, Ruptured Intervertebral Disc, High Cholesterol, Corneal Ulcer, Diabetes, Glaucoma, Schizophrenia, Burns and secondary infections, Heat Stroke, Radiation Burns, Heavy Metal Poisoning (Mercury, Lead), Venomous Bites, Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Fatigue, Complications of Surgery (…)."

substance, ascorbic acid, which had been described by Albert Szent- Gyorgyi only two years earlier, in 1932.

He employed ascorbic acid to stabilize foodstuffs against the undesirable and deteriorating effects of exposure to air and oxidation. Three patent applications were filed in 1935 and the patents were granted in 1939 and 1940. Thus, Dr. Stone obtained the first patents on an industrial application of ascorbic acid; while Albert Szent- Gyorgyi went on to receive the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1937.

Dr. Stone's research in ascorbic acid continued and led to his interest in the disease, scurvy. He found many flaws in the research results published by the nutritionists, who had dominated this field since 1912.

By the late 1950's, Dr. Stone's research on the genetics of scurvy had progressed to a point where it could be said that scurvy was nor a dietary disturbance, but was a potentially fatal problem in Medical Genetics. Ascorbic acid thus did not behave like trace vitamin C but was a stress- responsive liver metabolite produced endogenously in large daily amounts in the livers of most mammals, but not in humans.

Between 1965 and 1967 he produced four papers describing a human birth defect existing in 100% of the population due to a defective gene in Reference: Dr. Irwin Stone: A Tribute by Allan Cott, M.D.. at symposium of the Academy of Orthomolecular Psychiatry after Dr. Stone's death.

"This seems like an impossibly long list. At this point, one can either dismiss the subject or investigate further. Dr. Klenner chose to investigate. The result? He used massive doses of vitamin C for over forty years of family practice. He wrote two dozen medical papers on the subject. (322) It is difficult to ignore his success, but it has been done. Dr. Klenner wrote: "Some physicians would stand by and see their patient die rather than use ascorbic acid (vitamin C) because in their finite minds it exists only as a vitamin."

Vitamin C is remarkably safe even in enormously high doses. Compared to commonly used prescription drugs, side effects are virtually nonexistent. It does not cause kidney stones. In fact, vitamin C helps dissolve kidney stones and prevents their formation. William J. McCormick, MD, used vitamin C since the late 1940's to prevent and treat kidney stones. (323) Robert F. Cathcart III, MD, reports that he started using vitamin C in massive doses with patients in 1969. He writes: "I estimate that I have put 25,000 patients on massive doses of vitamin C and none have developed kidney stones." (324) Said Dr. Klenner: "The ascorbic acid/kidney stone story is a myth." Recent scholarship has confirmed this. (325,326) How much vitamin C is an effective therapeutic dose?

Dr. Klenner administered up to an astounding 300,000 milligrams (mg) per day. Generally, he gave 350 to 700 mg per kilogram (2.2 lb) body weight per day. That is a lot of vitamin C. But then again, look at that list of successes. Dr. Klenner emphasized that small amounts do not work. He said, "If you want results, use adequate ascorbic acid."" - Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, March 15, 2006 Š (CIHFI) 2004 - 2007 Ortho- molecular Medicine News Service 321

the human gene pool, the potentially- fatal genetic liver enzyme disease, which he named "Hypoascorbemia", as the cause of scurvy. He had difficulty publishing his Hypoascorbemia work because the ideas were so advanced and contrary to the existing theories of the etiology of scurvy.

Publication difficulties were so great that further publication had to await his retirement from Wallerstein in December of 1971 so he could devote his full time and his meager finances to pursuing this work. From his "retirement" to the present, he has published about fifty additional medical papers and a 1972 book, The Healing Factor. In his professional career, 1924- 1984, he has published over 120 scientific papers and was issued 26 U.S. patents and countless foreign patents.

Dr. Stone's work has established the rationale for Megascorbic Prophylaxis and Megascorbic Therapy as new medical modalities in Orthomolecular Preventive Medicine and Therapy. His work explained the startlingly successful clinical results of Dr. Frederick R. Klenner who had been reporting his pioneering case histories since the polio epidemic of 1947, which was summarized in a classic 1974 paper. It also provided the rationale for the confirmatory thousands of successfully treated serious viral disease cases managed by Dr. Robert F. Cathcart III, in the 1970's and 1980's.In the Reference: Dr. Irwin Stone: A Tribute by Allan Cott, M.D.. at symposium of the Academy of Orthomolecular Psychiatry after Dr. Stone's death.

"Irwin Stone was totally in love with ascorbic acid. On behalf of all humanity, I thank the stars that he was." - Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D. "Cot- death is no longer a problem of clinical medicine, but is one of medical politics. We have long had the knowledge and experience as to how these unnecessary deaths can be avoided. In the meantime.. to prevent your offspring from becoming a SIDS statistic just make sure that its daily intake of ascorbate from conception on is sufficient. Under this regime the neonate is so robust and healthy that there has never been a case of SIDS among these ascorbate corrected infants, not even a case of respiratory distress during birth." - Irwin Stone, Ph.D.(1981) in "Every Second Child" by Dr Kalokerinos (1974). 327 "In one case where complete remission was achieved in myelogenous leukemia…the patient took 24- 42 gms vitamin c per day…it is inconcievable that no- one appears to have followed this up….without the scurvy, leukemia may be a relatively benign, non fatal condition. I wrote a paper..in an attempt to have the therapy clinically tested..I sent it to 3 cancer journals and 3 blood journals..it was refused by all….Two without even reading it."

- Irwin Stone, Ph.D. "Dogs and cats were found to be poor ascorbate producers and suffer from chronic subclinical scurvy, especially when under stress. The full correction of this genetic condition gives dramatic therapeutic results in sick animals and consistent maintenance of full health and mental alertness when used as a prophylactic measure."

- Irwin Stone, Ph.D.

1960's when Stone's work was brought to the attention of Nobel Laureate, Linus Pauling, he became an ardent investigator in megascorbic therapy, which he described in his books on the common cold and cancer, and led to the establishment of the Institute for Science and Medicine.

In the opinion of Drs. Stone, Klenner and Cathcart, the medical technology of the megascorbic therapy of serious viral infections has advanced to a point where any viral infection can be rapidly and effectively eliminated and we now have within our grasp the means for wiping out the threat of viral diseases. Dr. Stone believes that if the same megascorbic dosages used in viral disease treatment were applied to CANCER THERAPY, the same successful results would be obtained, especially in the case of the rehabilitation and giving a new lease on life and health in terminal cancer. All these are achievements of Dr. Stone's new robust human sub- species, Homo Sapiens Ascorbicus.

Dr. Stone, the research which you have done in nutrition and preventive medicine, especially regarding viral diseases, cancer, degenerative diseases and aging, is of the greatest importance. The results of your research are contributing to the health of all of us here today and to all mankind. The goal of your work to decrease human suffering and to increase the value of life has been achieved.

"Dr. Stone was probably the first to identify the human/primate genetic mutation as the root cause of most of mankind’s great suffering and susceptibility to debilitating diseases.

The US RDA of 60 mg. ascorbate daily (as of 2003) is still tragically, laughably inadequate for attaining or maintaining full health (‌).

The recommended dietary allowance of 45 milligrams of ascorbate a day for human adults, now proposed and used by nutritionists, is grossly inadequate to restore Homo sapiens to a normal mammalian ascorbate physiology. To correct fully this human genetic defect and banish epidemic chronic subclinical scurvy requires daily intakes of ascorbate equivalent to, at least, the amounts synthesized by the other mammals."

- Irwin Stone, Ph.D. 328 "Humans kept on a long term regime of full correction of this birth defect show great salutary benefits in health maintenance, disease therapy and slowing of the aging process.

Dr. Sheridan was both an analytical chemist and a patent attorney. His theory was based on interrupting the respiratory energy chain of CANCER CELLS. In the late 1930s he developed a catechol, a natural chemical that can inhibit respiration, and named it Cancell (also known as Entelev). By 1942, Sheridan claimed that he was having a 70% tumor response in mice. Later, he tried to undergo clinical trials in the 1950's while working for the Michigan Cancer Institute, but was blocked by the American Cancer Society. In the early 60's, he conducted further research while working with Battelle Laboratories (the testing center for the National Cancer Institute). In 34

1961, he tried to prove the value of his theories to the U.S. Government. But he was told that, to do so, he must provide the evidence within five days. This was a problem since Cancell required 28 days before showing effects.

Between 1974 and 1983 Mr. Sheridan gave the formula away free of charge to over one thousand people. In 1983, Jim was getting old and felt defeated. He had worked with the formula for 47 years and felt he was never going to accomplish his goal of getting the formula accepted by the scientific community and made available to the general public, despite being armed with impressive research studies on animals and anecdotal evidence on humans. In May of 1983, the FDA had effectively stopped his free distribution by serving him with a cease and desist order. This caused great consternation for Mr. Sheridan.

Many people who were dependent on this formula called him in frantic states and begged him to make the formula available.

Finally, the Food and Drug Administration assigned him an IND (Investigative New Drug) number.

This had the effect of permanently putting the project on indefinite "clinical hold." When that happened, Sheridan turned his formula over to Edward Sopcak, the owner of a foundry, who has since given away 20,000 bottles of Cancell.

In 2002 a US federal court instructed the FDA to allow the claim that antioxidants may prevent cancer.

Antioxidants, Free Radicals and the different types of Free Radicals.

In the most simplistic terms, free radicals are unstable molecules inside the body that attack stable molecular structures. When chronic and in the absence of sufficient defenses, these attacks cause damage to healthy tissues, organs, cell membranes, blood vessels, proteins, fats, carbohydrates and even DNA strands within the cell. This resultant damage has a cumulative effect and can lead to many disease states. Degradation of DNA in cells caused by free radicals has serious biological consequences such as mutation, carcinogenic transformation, pathologies and cellular aging. It is even reported that free radicals may lead to programmed cell death (apoptosis).

According to the National Cancer Institute: "Free radicals are molecules with incomplete electron shells which make them more chemically reactive than those without incomplete electron shells. In humans the most common form of free radicals is oxygen.

When an oxygen molecule (O2) becomes electrically charged or "radicalized" it tries to steal electrons from other molecules, causing damage to the DNA and other molecules.

Over time, such damage may become irreversible and lead to disease including CANCER (…)."

Brunswick Biomedical Technologies Lab- who tested our formulations- describes the effects of free radical damage accordingly: "Overall, free radicals have been implicated in the development of at least 50 diseases! A partial list includes arthritis and other inflammatory diseases, kidney disease, cataracts, inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, lung dysfunction, pancreatitis, drug reactions, skin lesions and aging to mention a Reference: Cantron®: Its Beneficial Role Against Health Damaging Free Radicals.

few. Heart disease and cancer are two of the most widespread diseases associated with free radical damage. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America today, killing an estimated one in every three Americans. Literally, free radicals are the major factor of aging."

Other disease states of which free radicals are responsible for are Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, lupus, atherosclerosis, strokes, rheumatoid arthritis, agerelated hearing loss, liver disease, age associated neurological disorders, retinopathy, macular degeneration, TMJ symptoms, cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, ALS, sepsis, Huntington’s disease, loss of skin elasticity (breakdown of collagen), and the list is still growing as ongoing research continues.

There are more than 300 theories to explain the aging phenomenon. Among all theories, the free radical theory of aging, postulated first by Dr. Denham Harman at the University Of Nebraska, is the most popular and widely tested. Aging is thought to occur as a result of constant exposure to Reactive Oxygen Species of free radicals with a cumulative damage, through the entire life, along with the gradually decreasing repair capacity and increasing degenerative changes in the organs, tissues and individual cells.

The body has enzymes, which can repair much of the damaged proteins, but when these enzymes become damaged themselves, repair processes are compromised.

"It is difficult these days to open any medical journal and not find some paper on the role of "Reactive Oxygen Species" or "free radicals" in human disease. The species have been implicated in over 50 diseases. This large number suggests that radicals are not something esoteric, but that they participate as a fundamental component of tissue injury in most, if not all, human diseases." ...from the American Journal of Medicine, Sept 30, 1991 v91 n3C p12S (9); Oxidants and Antioxidants: Pathophysiologic Determinants and Therapeutic agents, Author: Halliwell, Barry.

What Causes Free Radicals?

There are many internal and external factors which form free radicals: tobacco smoke, excessive alcohol, radiation, auto exhaust, pesticides, herbicides, pollution, prescription drug use, chemotherapy, surgery, breakdown of bacteria by white blood cells, microbial or viral infections, metabolism of toxins, inflammatory processes, byproducts of oxygen metabolism, stress, shock, trauma, hypoxia, enzymatic reactions, calorie consumption, poor diet and many food materials especially oxidizing hydrogenated oils.

A single free radical can destroy an enzyme, a protein molecule, a strand of DNA, or an entire cell, but even worse, in a nano- second it can unleash torrential chain reactions in our bodies. Each free radical can initiate and perpetuate millions of other free radicals, setting off chains of biologically damaging reactions. This damage is at the molecular and cellular levels. Ironically, the underlying mechanisms that most CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS and IONIZING RADIATION have is not to neutralize free radicals but to produce more free radicals which leads to irreversible tissue injury.

What Are Antioxidants?

In the most simplistic terms, the role of antioxidants is to interact with free radicals and "quench" them or render them harmless. Researchers believe that increased dietary intake of antioxidants can slow the process of free radical damage and associated disorders. By removing free radicals, antioxidants help to: protect against DNA damage in cells, protect cell membranes, protect against all forms of cancer, protect the brain against various forms of dementia, protect against the harmful cross- linking of proteins with sugars that cause cell damage and may help slow the aging process. Antioxidants have been shown to provide: blood vessel strength and Reference: CantronÂŽ: Its Beneficial Role Against Health Damaging Free Radicals.

protection, enhanced memory and learning function, healthy lung function, bone and joint flexibility.

According to the National Cancer Institute, "Antioxidants are substances that may protect cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. Free radical damage may lead to cancer. The antioxidants interact with and stabilize free radicals and may prevent some of the damage free radicals otherwise might cause.

Considerable laboratory evidence from chemical, cell culture, and animal studies indicate that antioxidants may slow or possibly prevent the development of cancer. Antioxidants are often described as "mopping up" free radicals, meaning they neutralize the electrical charge and prevent the free radical from taking electrons from other molecules."

US Federal Courts have recently instructed the FDA to allow the claim that antioxidants may prevent cancer (Whitaker vs. Thompson {2002}, Pearson vs. Shalala {1999} and Pearson vs. Shalala 2 {2001}). These landmark rulings benefit the general public, which now has access to this extremely important health information that may help millions of people reduce the risk of this dreaded disease and live longer as a result of using antioxidants in their diet.

Two principal mechanisms of action have been proposed for antioxidants, first is stabilizing free radical present in the system, and the second mechanism involves the removal of chain initiating catalysts. Furthermore, antioxidants can act by scavenging biologically important reactive oxygen species, by preventing their formation, or by repairing the damage that they do. Antioxidants can suppress apoptosis (programmed cell death), act as reducing agents, chelate metal compounds and affect directly or indirectly the expression of genes in tissues. A diet high in antioxidants may even bolster the body’s own defenses against biological invaders transmitted by germ warfare, mosquitoes or other delivery methods.

The body's arsenal of antioxidants appear to be sufficient for keeping oxidation in check in children and in youths, but once we reach our 20's, the effectiveness of the body's antioxidants defense mechanisms lessen and free radicals are given greater rein to do damage. For example, the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase, appears to diminish with age and the antioxidant capacity in human plasma decreases. While the body’s antioxidant defenses are reduced, the number of free radicals in the body rises dramatically. Studies also show that cells from old individuals are more susceptible to oxidative damage than cells from younger donors and that some of this damage can actually be prevented by antioxidants.

Researchers found that cancer patients with small cell lung cancer who used antioxidants showed increased long- term survival rates as compared with previously published studies. It was also noticed that patients receiving antioxidants were able to tolerate chemotherapy and radiation treatment well. It was concluded that antioxidant treatment could potentiate orthodox cancer treatments by decreasing the likelihood of side effects and increasing the host immune defense. Ralph Moss, PhD, author of the bestselling book, "The Cancer Industry," former assistant director of public affairs at Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center, and producer for several documentaries, including, "The Cancer War," stated in his newsletter of 8/17/2003; "I would argue that the preponderance of evidence already suggests that antioxidants reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, without, however, interfering with their effectiveness.

As the body’s own antioxidant defenses are gradually overwhelmed by the aging process or disease or both, fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, and concentrated dietary supplements should be consumed as they contain the largest amounts of antioxidants to help replenish and augment the system.

Radicals of oxygen compromise the variety of reactive molecules that can constitute oxidative stress to the cells. The reactive oxygen species include the peroxyl radical, hydroxyl radical, peroxynitrite radical and the superoxide ion.

As free radicals are all different, likewise, all antioxidants are not alike. Not only do antioxidants differ in their potency but also on what type of free radicals they work upon. For example, Vitamin C only works on water- soluble peroxyl radicals, vitamin E scavenges fat- soluble peroxyls, superoxide dismutase and catalase is only effective on superoxide radicals, etc. It is rare to find an antioxidant that can work effectively on more than one type of radical let alone all 5 forms of the harmful reactive oxygen species (…)

The Peroxyl Radical – The Most Abundant Free Radical Peroxyl radicals are the most abundant free radicals in the human body and have been suggested as a MAJOR CAUSE of atherosclerosis, cancer, liver disease, Alzheimer’s disease, hearing loss and the aging process. There are two types: watersoluble and lipid (fat) - soluble.

Free radicals attack all major classes of bio- molecules, but lipids are the most susceptible and the easiest to damage. The peroxyl radical species is reasonably stable and not very reactive but they are reactive enough, however, to attack adjacent fatty acid side chains, as well as enzymes, receptors, and other structures found in cell membranes. The cell membrane is a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are easily attacked by oxidizing radicals including the peroxyl radical. The destruction of polyunsaturated fats causes damage by unleashing a chain reaction of chemical events that can collapse cell membranes. Once one peroxyl free radical forms and an appropriate antioxidant Reference: Cantron®: Its Beneficial Role Against Health Damaging Free Radicals.

is not available to stop the process, the chain of events keeps occurring until the cell membrane literally collapses. As the cellular membrane becomes compromised, the cell bursts open, spews its contents and dies. This series of damaging breaks in the cellular membrane can be prevented by antioxidant defenses and the cells can remain intact.

However, it has been demonstrated that total peroxyl radical scavenging antioxidant capacity (TRAP) in human plasma decreases with age.

Peroxyls are formed by several routes especially during the breakdown of organic peroxides, oxidation of lipids or other organic molecules in oxidative stress. They are formed within the delicate cellular membrane. If a free radical within or on the outside of a cell attacks the fatty acid cell membrane structures, they create peroxyl free radicals.

These radicals are also formed as a byproduct of the clash between hydroxyl radicals and polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from vegetable oils.

The Hydroxyl Radical – The Most Dangerous Free Radical Of all the reactive oxygen species (ROS), the hydroxyl reactive oxygen species is the most reactive. It is, in fact, the most reactive radical known to chemistry and the most physiologically harmful, being suspected in such pathologies as atherosclerosis, oncogenesis, cataractulargenesis and DNA mutation.

These dangerous radicals can attack and damage almost every molecule found in living cells because they react as soon as they come in contact with another molecule. Since it is so reactive, hydroxyl radicals generated in vivo do not persist for even a microsecond as they rapidly combine with molecules in their immediate vicinity as fast as they collide.

Hydroxyl radicals can be produced at an enormous rate, have easy access to every portion of the cell, are capable of causing great damage within a small radius of their site of production and are highly carcinogenic. In addition to damaging unsaturated fats in cell Reference: CantronÂŽ: Its Beneficial Role Against Health Damaging Free Radicals. A study by Daniel Hetrick PhD, Research report by Jerome Godin

42

membranes, hydroxyls are reactive enough, aggressive enough, and persist long enough to damage the less susceptible proteins (including the fragmentation of vital proteins in plasma), nuclear acids, enzymes and carbohydrates.

Russell Reiter, PhD, professor of neuroendocrinology at University of Texas Health Center has highlighted the dangers of the hydroxyl radical; "If the function of radicals is to destroy molecules and tissues, then the hydroxyl radical would be the radical’s radical. It reacts at diffusion rates with virtually any molecule found in its path including macromolecules such as DNA, membrane lipids, proteins and carbohydrates. In terms of DNA, the hydroxyl radical can induce strand breaks as well as chemical changes in the dioxyribose and in the purine and pyrirnidine bases. Damaged proteins, many of them crucial enzymes in neurons lose their efficiency and cellular function wanes. Protein oxidation in many tissues, including the brain, has been proposed as an explanation for the functional deficits associating with aging."

In addition to the direct damage caused by hydroxyls, they play a major role in forming peroxyl radicals and stimulating the free radical chain reaction known as lipid peroxidation. Peroxyl radicals are formed when oxygen combines with the hydrogen radical. One hydroxyl radical can result in the conversion of many hundred fatty acids side chains into lipid hydroperoxides. As hydroxyl radicals react with carbohydrates it leads to chain breaks in important molecules in a process involving the peroxyl radical as an intermediate. Since hydroxyls do such direct damage, work in conjunction with and create harmful peroxyl radicals, then supplementation of hydroxyl scavenging antioxidants may be extremely important.

The Peroxynitrite Radical – Leading Cause of Damaged Proteins Peroxynitrite is a strong oxidant that attacks proteins, cysteines and methionines. It is an especially dangerous type of free radical consisting of both oxygen and nitrogen. It plays a role in the development of diabetes, atherosclerosis, lung disease, chronic inflammation, neurological disorders, peripheral neuropathya common complication of diabetes, multiple sclerosis, erectile dysfunction, hypertension, BPH, ischemic heart disease, depression and rheumatoid arthritis. Several years ago there was a public scare about consuming foods with nitrites like bacon because they cause cancer.

Peroxynitrite is a potent oxidant formed by the rapid reaction between nitric oxide and superoxide radical. The peroxynitrite anion is relatively stable, but they can rapidly potentate to peroxynitrous acid an unstable species, which decomposes with a half- life about one second at pH 7.4. Peroxynitrite can serve as a precursor for other potent reactive species, including nitrogen dioxide and is one of the potent reactive metabolites for the initiation of lipid peroxidation.

Oxidative Stress and Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Review 121, 122- 217 Bayani Uttara,1, Ajay V. Singh,2,3, Paolo Zamboni,3, R.T Mahajan 1 "Free radicals are common outcome of normal aerobic cellular metabolism. In- built antioxidant system of body plays its decisive role in prevention of any loss due to free radicals. However, imbalanced defense mechanism of antioxidants, overproduction or incorporation of free radicals from environment to living system leads to serious penalty leading to neuro- degeneration. Neural cells suffer functional or sensory loss in neurodegenerative diseases. Apart from several other environmental or genetic factors, oxidative stress (OS) leading to free radical attack on neural cells contributes calamitous role to neuro- degeneration. Though, oxygen is imperative for life, imbalanced metabolism and excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation end into a range of disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, aging and many other neural disorders.

Toxicity of free radicals contributes to proteins and DNA injury, inflammation, tissue damage and subsequent cellular apoptosis.

Antioxidants are now being looked upon as persuasive therapeutic against solemn neuronal loss, as they have capability to combat by neutralizing free radicals. Diet is major source of antioxidants, as well as medicinal herbs are catching attention to be commercial source of antioxidants at present.

Recognition of upstream and downstream antioxidant therapy to oxidative stress has been proved an effective tool in alteration of any neuronal damage as well as free radical scavenging. Antioxidants have a wide scope to sequester metal ions involved in neuronal plaque formation to prevent oxidative stress. In addition, antioxidant therapy is vital in scavenging free radicals and ROS preventing neuronal degeneration in post- oxidative stress scenario." - 1. Department of Biotechnology, Jalgaon; 2. Universita di Milano, Milan, Italy; 3. University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy 121 - 217

The Superoxide Radical – The Greatest Initiator of the other Free Radical Species The Superoxide Radical can cause damage to the hereditary material (DNA) and propagate cancer cells. It is implicated in cataracts, macular degeneration, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and joint inflammation. In the presence of superoxide anions, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) deposited on arterial cell walls undergo peroxidation, become fibrous, then calcified, thereby, blocking blood flow.

Synovial fluids in joints are oxidized by superoxide; unfortunately joint fluids lack sufficient superoxide dismutase.

Superoxide is the most important source of initiating radicals in vivo. Once you get a superoxide radical you are going to have radicals propagating damage throughout the biological system until you have a termination- that is- until that superoxide radical and all resultant radicals are quenched. Therefore in biological systems, the superoxide anion is a very important free radical. The superoxide anion is not a particularly reactive molecule and it can diffuse considerable distances from its site of production. The greatest danger from superoxide is that these radicals can be converted to more damaging radicals by a chain reaction. They combine with other reactive species such as nitric oxide to yield more reactive species such as peroxynitrite radicals and they give rise to the highly reactive hydroxyl radical species. As previously mentioned the hydroxyl is the most reactive and physiologically harmful free radical.

The body utilizes important antioxidants to deal with superoxide radicals, in particular the enzyme Superoxide Dismustase (SOD). Decreased SOD favors Superoxide anion formation. This antioxidant is so necessary that its very absence would be lethal.

The problem is that SOD levels in the body decline with age and supplementation with SOD tablets is not that effective because they are poorly absorbed into the bloodstream.

To Recap: * It is a well- established fact that free radicals have been implicated in over 50 degenerative diseases including heart disease, cancer and aging. * Consumption of antioxidants may eradicate dangerous free radicals and help prevent disease. * The federal court has forced the FDA to allow the claim that antioxidants may prevent cancer. * The body’s storehouse of antioxidants diminish with age and leads to the onset of disease and premature aging. * There are many forms of free radicals. Peroxyl radicals are the most abundant, hydroxyl radicals are the most dangerous, peroxynitrite attacks proteins, and superoxide anions are the greatest initiator of other dangerous free radicals. * One free radical engenders many other free radicals, causing a chain reaction of biological events. * Cantron® is not only the most potent antioxidant known to man, but works against a number of radicals that are responsible for multitudes of diseases in men.

The role of free radicals in disease.

Florence TM. "Evidence is accumulating that most of the degenerative diseases that afflict humanity have their origin in deleterious free radical reactions.

These diseases include atherosclerosis, cancer, inflammatory joint disease, asthma, diabetes, senile dementia and degenerative eye disease. The process of biological ageing might also have a free radical basis. Most free radical damage to cells involves oxygen free radicals or, more generally, activated oxygen species (AOS) which include non- radical species such as singlet oxygen and hydrogen peroxide as well as free radicals. The AOS can damage genetic material, cause lipid peroxidation in cell membranes, and inactivate membrane- bound enzymes.

Humans are well endowed with antioxidant defences against AOS; these antioxidants, or free radical scavengers, include ascorbic acid (vitamin C), alpha- tocopherol (vitamin E), beta- carotene, coenzyme Q10, enzymes such as catalase and superoxide dismutase, and trace elements including selenium and zinc.

The eye is an organ with intense AOS activity, and it requires high levels of antioxidants to protect its unsaturated fatty acids. The human species is not genetically adapted to survive past middle age, and it appears that antioxidant supplementation of our diet is needed to ensure a more healthy elderly population."

Cantron Basic Ingredients Electrolytes, consisting of hydroxyquinones and cyclopentenes.

Vitamins: trace amounts of the B vitamin Inositol Minerals: Copper, Sodium, Sulfur, Potassium and traces of Iron, Zinc and Bromine.

Quinones belong to the bioflavonoid family of compounds. They are agents which naturally exist in many plant foods and herbs such as LAPACHO, HORSE CHESTNUT and RED SAGE. These compounds play a crucial role in cellular respiration.

Bioflavonoids are especially potent antioxidants and strong metal chelators. They are chemical compounds that plants produce to protect themselves from parasites, bacteria, and cell injury. Numerous medicinal herbs contain therapeutic amounts of bioflavonoids which are often a major component of an herb’s medicinal activity. The human body cannot produce bioflavonoids, so they must be supplied in the diet. One of the important hydroxyquinones in Cantron is a powerful antioxidant that is also found in spices, vegetables, and fruits such as red grapes, red berries and many herbs such as green tea.

One of the important cyclopentene compounds in the Cantron formula contributes to healthy cell functioning by influencing cellular voltage and by aiding the body to rapidly lyse (eliminate) unhealthy cell structures.

Sulfur is one of the basic elements of life. It aids in necessary oxidation reactions in the body and protects against toxic substances. Sulfur is necessary for making collagen, the primary constituent of cartilage and connective tissue. Approximately half of the total body’s sulfur is concentrated in the muscles, skin and bones. It is needed to form crucial blood proteins and amino acids. Sulfur adds flexibility and pliability to cell walls which allows fluids to pass through tissue more easily. Sulfur disinfects the blood and protects the protoplasm of cells. It protects against harmful effects of radiation and pollution.

Potassium is an electrolyte which is essential for a healthy nervous system and circulatory system. It is important for chemical reactions within the cells and in transmitting electrochemical impulses. Potassium also regulates the transfer of nutrients through cell membranes. It aids in proper muscle contraction, and helps control the body’s water balance.

Copper is a mild anti- fungal agent which prevents fungus formation in the Cantron product. It is also important for its well known electrical conductivity properties. An essential trace mineral, copper is not manufactured by the body and must be taken in through the diet. It is involved in healing processes, energy production and is also needed for healthy nerves and joints. Copper is needed for oxygen transport. Even a mild deficiency of copper will impair the body’s ability to absorb iron and manufacture hemoglobin. A deficiency also will impair the ability of white blood cells to fight infection. Various enzyme reactions also require copper. It works in balance with zinc and vitamin C to form ELASTIN and COLLAGEN, the fundamental proteins making up bones, skin and connective tissue. Copper is also needed for the metabolism of essential fatty acids.

Dietary antioxidants and human cancer.

Epidemiological studies show that a high intake of anti- oxidant- rich foods is inversely related to cancer risk.

While animal and cell cultures confirm the anticancer effects of antioxidants, intervention trials to determine their ability to reduce cancer risk have been inconclusive, although selenium and vitamin E reduced the risk of some forms of cancer, including prostate and colon cancer, and carotenoids have been shown to help reduce breast cancer risk. Cancer treatment by radiation and anticancer drugs reduces inherent antioxidants and induces oxidative stress, which increases with disease progression. Vitamins E and C have been shown to ameliorate adverse side effects associated with free radical damage to normal cells in cancer therapy, such as mucositis and fibrosis, and to reduce the recurrence of breast cancer. While clinical studies on the effect of anti- oxidants in modulating cancer treatment are limited in number and size, experimental studies show that antioxidant vitamins and some phytochemicals selectively induce apoptosis in cancer cells but not in normal cells and prevent angiogenesis and metastatic spread, suggesting a potential role for antioxidants as adjuvants in cancer therapy.

"Pauling is one of the greatest scientists in the human history "

(~ 1960 AD) Linus Pauling PhD.

Linus Pauling (1901 – 1994). was one of the most honored men of his lifetime. He was a California scientist, peace activist, author and educator.

In addition to Otto Warburg (who also did alternate cancer therapy research), Pauling also received two Nobel prizes (Chemistry, in 1954, and Peace in 1962).

Founder of Linus Pauling Institute.

Linus Pauling was born in Portland, Oregon, where his parents encouraged his scientific interests from the beginning.

When Linus's father died, his mother found it difficult to support the large family. Linus was an able student and won scholarships to Oregon State University at Corvallis, but he had to work long hours as a laborer to support himself while he earned his Bachelor of Science degree. He went on to earn a Ph.D. in chemistry at the California Institute of Technology, their Institution where he taught and carried out his research for the next 33years.The young scientist first made his mark in the world of chemistry with his use of X- rays to examine the molecular structure of crystals.

Pauling was included in a list of the 20 greatest scientists of all time by the magazine New Scientist, with Albert Einstein being the only other scientist from the twentieth century on the list.

Gautam R. Desiraju, the author of the Millennium Essay in Nature,[94] claimed that Pauling was one of the greatest thinkers and visionaries of the millennium, along with Galileo, Newton, and Einstein. Pauling is notable for the diversity of his interests: quantum mechanics, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, protein structure, molecular biology, and medicine (…).

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver announced on May 28, 2008 that Pauling would be inducted into the California Hall of Fame, located at The California Museum for History, Women and the Arts (…).

2008, the United States Postal Service released a 41 cent stamp honoring Pauling. His description reads: "A remarkably versatile scientist, structural chemist Linus Pauling (1901–1994) won the 1954 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for determining the nature of the chemical bond linking atoms into molecules. His work in establishing the field of molecular biology; his studies of hemoglobin led to the classification of sickle cell anemia as a molecular disease."

- Linus Pauling, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 359 In his 1971 book, Vitamin C and the Common Cold, Pauling documented a variety of facts about vitamin C, (as well as some distortions being printed by those opposed to its use). In 1976, he published Vitamin C, the Common Cold, and the Flu with even more facts (…)."- Abram Hoffer

This work led him to a more thorough investigation of the nature of the chemical bond. Pauling revolutionized chemistry in the 1920s with his application of quantum physics to the study of chemistry. He used the new theory of wave mechanics to explain molecular structures which had baffled chemists for years. Pauling's resonance theory proposed that some molecules "resonate" between different structures, rather than holding a single fixed structure.

This insight made possible the creation of many of the drugs, dyes, plastics and synthetic fibers we take for granted today. Pauling publicized his findings in a series of papers culminating in an essential work of modernchemistry: Dr. Pauling next turned his attention to the study of organic substances, particularly proteins. By 1942, Pauling and his colleagues had succeeded in producing synthetic antibodies, a major breakthrough. In 1945 Pauling was co- chairman of a project which developed a substitute for blood plasma. In 1949, he performed a groundbreaking study of sickle cell anemia, a disease which disproportionately affects men and women of African descent. In 1951, Pauling and Robert B. Corey described the atomic structure of proteins for the first time. This work had enormous implications for the struggle against disease.

"[Critics] use two sets of logic. Before they are prepared to look at Dr. Pauling’s hypothesis, they demand proof of the most rigorous kind. But when arguing against his views, they refer to evidence of the flimsiest sort for the toxicity of ascorbic acid."

- Abram Hoffer, M.D., quoted in Pauling, Vitamin C and the Common Cold.

Orthodox response to Pauling & Cameron vitamin C trials: "Two alleged trials took place under the direction of Dr. Charles Moertel at the Mayo Clinic. However as one might expect from a proven swindler operating at such a dishonoured location, these bore little resemblance to scientific methodology.

Moertel cooked the first trial‌by packing the trial with patients whose immune systems had already been destroyed by toxic chemotherapy. He then rigged the second trial by treating the patients with ascorbate for only two and a half months and then continuing with the "trial" for another 2 years. He then issued a perjured press statement in which he announced that vitamin C therapy had been proven ineffective, carefully concealing the fact that he had almost certainly caused the death of several patients by reason of this iniquitous fraud. The resulting carefully devised publicity on the subject also caused the deaths of several other patients who had been happily surviving on ascorbate."

atomic weapons in 1945 posed an ethical dilemmafor Pauling. The more he studied the effects of RADIATION, the more he became convinced that a nuclear war, or even the continued atmospheric testing of these weapons, could do irreparable damage to the environment and the human population. Because the government was attempting to conceal the dangers of nuclear testing from the public, Pauling believed it was his duty to speak out, but in the first years of the cold war, many Americans considered such dissent treasonous. Pauling could not remain silent. In books, interviews and press conferences, he EDUCATED the public about the hazards of radiation and campaigned for peace, disarmament and the end of nuclear testing. These activities cost him friends, funding for his research, and the job he had held at Cal Tech for 33 years. The State Department revoked Pauling's passport, but when he won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 and was unable to leave the U.S. to accept it, the pressure of world opinion forced the Department to relent. Pauling continued his peace activism, and in 1957 drafted a petition calling for an end to theatmospheric testing of nuclear weapons. By the time Pauling delivered his petition to the UN, he had collected the signatures of 11,021 scientists from all over the world. This campaign led to a Nobel Peace Reference: Linus Pauling Biography, ieee.tv

"At every incursion on the domain of medicine, he was looked upon as a chemist . . who was poaching on the preserves of others." - Rene ValleryRadot, The Life of Pasteur, 1924.

"We studied patients with advanced cancer (stage 4). 40 patients received 40,000- 75,000 mg intravenously several times a week. These are patients that have not responded to other treatments.

The initial tumor response rate was achieved in 75% of patients, defined as a 50% reduction or more in tumor size. . . As a radiation oncologist, I also give radiation therapy. Vitamin C has two effects. It increases the beneficial effects of radiation and chemotherapy and decreases the adverse effects. But this is not a subtle effect, is not 15- 20%. It's a dramatic effect. Once you start using IV vitamin C, the effect is so dramatic that it is difficult to go back to not using it." Victor Marcial, M.D., an oncologist in Puerto Rico [2010] 361 "74% of Americans are below daily RDA requirements for magnesium, 55% for iron, 68% calcium, 40% vitamin C, 33% B12, 80% B6, 33% B3, 35% B2, 45% B1, 50% vitamin A. From 25- 50% of hospital patients suffer from protein calorie malnutrition. Pure malnutrition (cachexia) is responsible for at least 22% and up to 67% of all cancer deaths.

Up to 80% of all cancer patients have reduced levels of serum albumin, which is a leading indicator of protein and calorie malnutrition. At least 20% of Americans are clinically malnourished, with 70% being sub- clinically malnourished, and the remaining "chosen few" 10% in good optimal health." - Patrick Quillin, Ph.D.

Prize for Pauling in 1962, and to the first Nuclear TestBan Treaty.Linus Pauling remained active in antiwar movements, but he won even greater fame for his studies of the roleof nutrition in fighting disease.

His 1970 book, Vitamin C and the Common Cold, recommended megadoses of vitamin C to ward off colds and lessen their symptoms. Millions of people now follow this advice.

Pauling's theory of "orthomolecular" substances and his views concerning the potential role of vitamin C in FIGHTING CANCER have not won wide acceptance in the medical community, but many researchers have followed where heled in studying the role of vitamins and other nutrients in preserving health and fighting disease. In 1973, Dr. Pauling founded the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine. From this base, he continued his researches and worked to educate the public about the dangers of smoking and the benefits of vitamins. He received numerous honors, including the Presidential Medal for Merit and the National Medal of Science. (…) Linus Pauling died on August 19th, 1994, at the age of 93.

Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them.

"Today I propose to tell you of my personal involvement in this still highly controversial subject, the vitamin C in cancer story. The matter is capable of arousing almost any emotion from bitter prejudice and blazing anger on the one hand, to unbridled (and undeserved) enthusiasm on the other, with all grades of scorn, laughter, ridicule, and pity in between. I hope to convince you that the whole research project has a perfectly sound scientific basis, and that Dr. Pauling and I are neither gullible fools, nor are we charlatans." - Ewan Cameron, "Vitamin C and Cancer: A Personal Perspective," September 1984 362 Dr. Pauling had reasoned that an adequacy of vitamin C (necessary for collagen formation) might increase the scirrhous reaction and help encapsulate tumors. On further reading we realized that vitamin C was involved in many other aspects of host resistance, such as cell- mediated immunity and the biosynthesis of interferon.

Many independent investigators subsequently were able to show that ascorbate administered in the gram range enhanced these defensive mechanisms to levels of activity far above the so- called normal range. Therefore, there is a strong case for the expectation that supplemental vitamin C, in adequate dosage, might have some beneficial effect against cancer." – Ewan Cameron, "Vitamin C and Cancer: A Personal Perspective," September 1984 362

hopeless and nothing further could be done. Then the patient was turned over to Dr. Cameron.

He immediately began high doses of vitamin C. This was not difficult, since vitamin C has no toxic effects on the body, except that its acidity could injure the teeth or be uncomfortable in the stomach.

Cameron was a researcher in his own right. He was not only a surgeon, but had studied the biochemistry of cancer cells and found that cancer spread by invading healthy normal tissue in its vicinity.

He found that, to do this, the cancer cell produced an enzyme, hyaluronidase. This enzyme attacked the intercellular ground cement, the material that holds cells together in tissues. He published his findings in a 1966 book, Hyaluronidase and Cancer. Then Cameron set to work to find a substance which would STRENGTHEN the intercellular cement and thus slow the growth of cancer. He thought it would be a hormone,—but he DISCOVERED that it was vitamin C which other researchers had shown was a powerful builder of this cell cement.

Scotland, with rather high- meat consumption, has a high rate of cancer; and 90% of the cancer patients in his area were sent to Cameron’s hospital, whose surgical unit was under his direction. In addition, his

clinical work was supported by Scotland’s Secretary of State, as well as by the Linus Pauling Institute.

The testing by Cameron began in 1971, and Pauling described what happened when vitamin C—with the addition of no other nutrients or life changes—was given to the cancer patients: "Dr. Cameron first noticed that the patients felt well when they received 10 grams a day or more of vitamin C. They developed good appetites, increased energy, got up from the hospital, went home, went back to work and got along much better than with conventional therapy. Patients who were on morphine for pain could be taken off their morphine in five days."—Linus Pauling, quoted in H.L.

Although these results were excellent, it was necessary to begin a detailed study of 100 terminally ill cancer patients who were beyond further help by orthodox methods of treatment. The final results revealed that patients, receiving 10 grams a day of vitamin C, lived, on the average, FOUR TIMES AS LONG after having reached the terminal stage than those who received only the conventional therapy.

"Cameron and Pauling continued to work on the cancer question throughout the 1980s, at points turning their attentions to ascorbic acid’s potential value to those suffering with AIDS. Amidst it all, the duo was routinely attacked by the mainstream medical establishment – a source of tremendous frustration for both Pauling and Cameron. In concluding his 1984 talk, Cameron provided a glimpse into the resentment that the bad press had engendered.

Despite unethical and unprofessional well- publicized attacks on our integrity in the media by Mayo Clinic investigators on the basis of two very seriously flawed trials, I remain convinced that the value of supplemental ascorbate has now been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, and that in time supplemental ascorbate will come to form a part of all comprehensive cancer treatment regimens. It appears that the general public is already ahead of the medical profession in reaching such a decision."

addition, the pain was removed, and they felt so much better.

About 16% of Cameron’s cases experienced a dramatically marked increase in survival time. In the control group, the mean average was 50 days; in Cameron’s group, every patient lived more than a year.

(Of course, if other nutritional and life changes had been made, the improvement probably could have been much greater. The most complete system of nutrition and cleansing, the Gerson method, requires far wider changes; but, consequently, it has far greater success.)

By the early 1980s, Cameron had over 4,000 cases in his records. He has found that the results are far better when he can work on patients in the early stages of cancer. "We surmise that the addition of ascorbate to the treatment of patients with cancer at an earlier stage of development might change life expectancy . . . from, for example, 5 years to 20 years."—Linus Pauling and Ewing Cameron, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, October 1976.

"I became interested in vitamin C and cancer in 1971 and began working with Ewan Cameron, M.B., Ch.B., chief surgeon at Vale of Leven Hospital in Scotland. Cameron gave 10 grams of vitamin C a day to patients with untreatable, terminal cancer. These patients were then compared by Cameron and me to patients with the same kind of cancer at the same terminal stage who were being treated in the same hospital but by other doctors- - doctors who didn't give vitamin C, but instead just gave conventional treatments. Cameron's terminal cancer patients lived far longer compared to the ones who didn't get 10 grams a day of vitamin C. The other patients lived an average of six months after they were pronounced terminal, while Cameron's patients lived an average of about six years. " - Linus Pauling Interview by Peter Chowka 1996 "Vitamin C extends the lives of cancer patients, confirmed by Drs Murata & Fukumi Morishige in 1981. In their study, patients who received 5- 30 grams daily as their only therapy lived an average of 6.2 times as long as those on 4 gms or less. Those suffering from cancer of the uterus who took vitamin C lived an average of 15.4 times as long than those receiving little or no vitamin C supplementation."

active only if they contain relatively large amounts of vitamin C. Cameron found that patients given 5 grams of vitamin C orally, on 3 consecutive days, experience a doubling in the number of lymphocytes in their bloodstream. The high levels continued for another seven days. A 10- gram dose per day caused this rate to triple. A dose of 18 grams per day resulted in a fourfold increase. In some cases, Cameron has used 20 or 30 grams a day on patients, by intravenous drip, with remarkable results.

"With the proper use of vitamin C for cancer, we could cut the death rate by 75%. It is probably wise for every cancer patient to receive vitamin C."— Linus Pauling, quoted in Richard Pass water, Cancer and Its Nutritional Therapies, 1978.

Back in the United States, the two researchers were told that their findings could not be accepted until animal research work had been done first. Although this would require years of work, Pauling agreed to it; but, when he applied for grant money, his request was refused. Five times Pauling, author of more than 400 scientific papers, requested funds; each time to be turned down. The final notation said, "Based on evaluation of scientific merit of this application disapproval must be recommended."

"We studied patients with advanced cancer (stage 4). 40 patients received 40,000- 75,000 mg intravenously several times a week. These are patients that have not responded to other treatments. The initial tumor response rate was achieved in 75% of patients, defined as a 50% reduction or more in tumor size. . . As a radiation oncologist, I also give radiation therapy. Vitamin C has two effects. It increases the beneficial effects of radiation and chemotherapy and decreases the adverse effects. But this is not a subtle effect, is not 15- 20%.

It's a dramatic effect. Once you start using IV vitamin C, the effect is so dramatic that it is difficult to go back to not using it." Victor Marcial, M.D., an oncologist in Puerto Rico "More and more oncologists are admitting that a course of chemo disrupts the immune system to the point of allowing more cancer down the pike.

It would seem reasonable for postchemo patients to enter a regimen of high antioxidants intake as soon as they can." - Ralph Campbell, M.D., a Montana pediatrician, [2010 Sept] Cancer and Vitamin C: EvidenceBased Censorship - Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, Š (CIHFI) 2004 - 2007 Ortho- molecular Medicine News Service. orthomolecular.org/subscribe.html, orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/i ndex.shtml 363

Abram Hoffer (1917 –2009) was a Canadian biochemist, physician and psychiatrist.

Pioneer of orthomolecular medicine.

He developed a theory that nutrition and vitamins may be effective treatments for schizophrenia. Hoffer was also involved in the discovery that high dose niacin can be used to treat high cholesterol and other dyslipidemias.

"After breakfast, I visited Linus Pauling who was staying in the room next to mine. When I walked in he was busy with a hand calculator. I told him that on the basis of my fifty patients I had concluded that he and Dr. Cameron were right, that vitamin C in large doses did improve enormously the outcome of treatment for cancer."

"I don't think there's been any major shift in the medical profession's general approach to new ideas. I don't think there ever will be that kind of wholesale change. Three hundred years ago, when the major disease was smallpox, Sir Thomas Sydenham [1624- 89] developed a new treatment that reduced the death rate from about 50 percent to 1 percent or 2 percent.

His reward was being challenged to a duel. The English medical association wanted to drive him out. He wrote: "A new idea is like a sapling in the middle of a road, and if it's not fenced in, it will be galloped over by the trampling hordes." That's a really great statement, and it's also my view of what happens to medical discovery."

thing in the world I wanted to do was to become a psychiatrist, then the lowest branch of medicine. My wife Rose put up with these long student years while she brought up our three children (...). Rose died in August 2001 and since then I am alone but absorbed with my family and my work. I have the support of remarkable friends and scientists and all of us working together will eventually overhaul medicine back to its interest in nutrition and in nutrients.

My work with schizophrenia and later in developing orthomolecular psychiatry depends on a series of events that possibly cannot ever occur again. I began to work for the Government of Saskatchewan in July 1, 1950, to organize a research division in psychiatry. The government was very hopeful that this would help them bring our mental hospital into the twentieth century. Our two mental hospitals were classed in 1954 as among the three worst in the world by Dr. John Weir, Medical Director of the Rockefeller Foundation. My chief was very supportive because he trusted and liked me even though he did not understand much about what we were doing (‌). I was Director of Psychiatric Research and was given full control. I knew no psychiatry, which was a major stroke of luck because I did not know that what we were trying to do was impossible. We had no medical school, another stroke of luck because we had no one who could countermand the direction I wanted to follow. Our team developed the adrenochrome hypothesis, which stated that adrenalin was oxidized to adrenochrome and this caused the disease. It was the first super oxidation hypothesis in medicine and it called for certain biochemical tricks to reverse this oxidation. We developed our research program with the help of the Rockefeller Foundation and showed that adrenochrome is a hallucinogen and showed how it could be made and studied. Later it was found in the body and is today receiving serious consideration as an element in many degenerative diseases of the brain. But we also wanted to treat our patients more effectively. All we had was ECT.

We deduced from our biochemical theories that large doses of vitamin B- 3 and VITAMIN C might be therapeutic. We obtained a large supply of pure crystalline niacin, niacinamide, ascorbic acid and riboflavin. Our first patient Ken was a catatonic schizophrenic in the mental hospital run by Dr. Osmond.

He had had insulin coma and also ECT and had been left in a coma and was dying. We decided that he must be our first patient to be given niacin and hoped he would not be our first victim. We used a stomach tube and gave him a large dose of niacin and ascorbic acid. HE SURVIVED. The next day he sat up and drank it and thirty days later HE WAS WELL. He was discharged and remained well. We were very fortunate. It is essential that the first patient one treats with any new treatment responds and he did. We then knew that we had something but our conviction was not great. After six double blinds, thousands of patients I have treated since then, and dozens of open clinical studies, I am CONVINCED that what I saw in 1952 did represent a new way of treating these patients. The question is why do we need double blinds, which never initiate anything and merely consume tons of money and time and do very little to further progress in medicine. Under my direction, we did the first double blinds in psychiatry

"Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., of Victoria, British Columbia, and Dr. Pauling carried out a study of 40 patienats with cancer of the breast, ovary, uterus, or cervix. They continuously received large daily doses of ascorbic acid and other vitamins. At the same time, another 61 patients with other kinds of cancer followed the same regimen while 31 patients received no vitamin supplements and served as the control group. The control group lived an average of 5.7 months. Of the others, 80 percent of the patients with cancer of breast, ovary, cervix, or uterus, had a mean survival time of 122 months while 47 patients, with the other kinds of cancer, lived for an average of 72 months. The length of life for those using vitamin C was 13 to 21 times longer than those not receiving it."

"Drs. Wilfred and Evan Shute of Ontario who showed that large doses of vitamin E given for adequate periods of time were very helpful in treating coronary disease, burns, and were useful in prevention. They were not ignored. They were almost destroyed by a medical profession which was completely unaware of the importance of their work, did not believe vitamin E was a vitamin and knew with absolute certainty that their work was useless."

and I felt perfectly justified in also being one of the first to criticize this method (‌).

The adrenochrome hypothesis has been a map that we have followed since then and it has been remarkably effective in directing our investigations in to fruitful areas of research. These include the discovery of the mauve factor, psychedelic therapy, special clinical tests for schizophrenia such as the HOD and EWI test, the discovery that niacin lowers cholesterol levels, better housing for patients, better and more humane treatment of patients and more. Our research, and the use of mega doses of vitamins led to Linus Pauling's formulation of Orthomolecular Psychiatry and Medicine. And I now know a lot more psychiatry than I did when I first started so many years ago (‌). I have lived a full, interesting and creative life supported by my family and many friends and irritated and spurred on by the hostile criticisms of a group of psychiatrists representing APA and NIMH. Since they did not know me personally I never took it personally although I must admit I would have preferred had they been supportive. I give my critics full credit for having delayed the full introduction of orthomolecular medicine into the medical world and for having denied life, health and happiness for innumerable patients. Supporters of old paradigms never realize how much damage they do by their remarkable rigidity and adherence to old theories.

"We have increased the longevity from 5.7 months to approximately 100 months, which is very substantial. There has been a tremendous decrease in pain and anxiety. Vitamin C must be a vital component of every cancer treatment program."

- Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D in Clinical Procedures in Treating Terminally Ill Cancer Patients with Vitamin C "To this day I have treated about 800 cancer patients. But I got into working with cancer patients by a fluke. I have a referral practice in Canada, and general practitioners decide which of their patients should be sent to a psychiatrist like me. In 1978, a woman with pancreatic cancer who started taking 10 g a day of vitamin C on her own was told by her family doctor, "Why don't you see Dr. Hoffer, he's an expert on vitamins." (By this time I had been so identified in Canada.) I simply modified her program and suggested she take as much vitamin C as she could. She went up to 40 g a day. Then I added some other nutrients. She came back a month later and said she was feeling fine.

Six months later she phoned me with the good news that she had just had a CAT scan and it couldn't find the tumor. She said her doctors didn't believe it- - they thought something had gone wrong with the machine, so they ran the test again. But the tumor was gone. It's one case. But single cases mean something. They indicate trends. By the way, the woman is still alive and well today, almost 20 years later. - Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD 1997 Interview

First of all, as I pointed out, I did not interfere with the treatment done by the oncologists. These patients were treated by their own doctors and I went along with whatever they did. No one can accuse me of depriving these patients of having had the best of chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. What I tried to do was to improve their general health, to improve their IMMUNE SYSTEM, to the point that they could cope more successfully with their tumors. Many of them were depressed when they came to see me. The first thing I would do would be to create a bit of hope. I don't think many doctors in cancer clinics realize the absolute importance of HOPE. Let me give you another case. A woman came to see me with cancer of the breast. She didn't want to have any surgery and so she had taken a huge quantity of nutrients, including vitamin A, 500,000 units per day at one of the clinics in the USA, She wasn't doing well, the mass had opened up, she was ulcerated and in a terrible state. When she came to see me, she said to me, "Dr. Hoffer, (she was very depressed) you are my last hope." I asked, "What

Effect of vitamin C on prostate cancer cells in vitro: effect on cell number, viability, and DNA synthesis. Maramag C, Menon M, Balaji KC, Reddy PG, Laxmanan S. "(‌) RESULTS: Treatment of DU145 and LNCaP cells with vitamin C resulted in a doseand timedependent decrease in cell viability and thymidine incorporation into DNA. Vitamin C induced these changes through the production of hydrogen peroxide; addition of catalase (100300 units/ml), an enzyme that degrades hydrogen peroxide, inhibited the effects of ascorbic acid.

Superoxide dismutase, an enzyme that dismutates superoxide and generates hydrogen peroxide, did not prevent decreases in cell number and DNA synthesis, suggesting further the involvement of hydrogen peroxide in vitamin Cinduced changes. These results clearly indicate that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in vitamin Cinduced cell damage. However, that singlet oxygen scavengers such as sodium azide and hydroquinone and hydroxyl radical scavengers such as Dmannitol and DL- alpha- tocopherol did not counteract the effects of ascorbic acid on thymidine incorporation suggests that vitamin Cinduced changes do not occur through the generation of these ROS. CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin C inhibits cell division and growth through production of hydrogen peroxide, which damages the cells probably through an as yet unidentified free radical(s) generation/mechanism. Our results also suggest that ascorbic acid is a potent anticancer agent for prostate cancer cells." - University of Massachusetts Medical Center, Worcester 01655, USA 365

do you mean?" She replied, "A week ago, when I went to see my family doctor, I asked when I can see you again. He said he would not give me another appointment, because I would be dead within a week," Now, that's very negative, hope is very important. She didn't die a week later; we started her on the program. Eventually, I persuaded her to have surgery and chemotherapy. She survived more than 30 months after that first day, HOPE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Attitude is very important. Patients MUST WANT TO LIVE. You may be surprised to know that many people, when they are told they have cancer, are quite relieved, because they now know they don't have to live much longer. They are really quite happy to go. So you have to test the attitude of the patient. Those who came to see me, of course, were preselected, they selected themselves.

So they did have the right attitude, they did want to live. They have to be optimistic and I do think it helps if they laugh a lot. I agree with Norman Cousins, that if you combine laughter with vitamins, you do get better results. Then I advise my patients what kind of nutrition they ought to follow. The first thing I try to do is to cut their fat way down. I try to cut it down below 30 percent of calories, down to 20 or 10, if possible. I find that, in our culture, the easiest way to do that is to totally eliminate all dairy products. If you eliminate all dairy products and cut out all fatty meats, it's pretty hard to get too much fat in the diet. So, I put them all on a dairy free program. I reduce, but I don't eliminate, meat and fish, and I ask them to increase their vegetables, especially raw, as much as they can. I think it's a good, reasonable diet, which most people can follow without too much difficulty. Having spent some time with them going over what they ought to eat, I begin to talk about the nutrients. The first one, of course, is vitamin C. I am convinced today that vitamin C is the most important single nutrient that one can give to any person with CANCER. The dose is variable. I find that most patients can Lake 12 grams per day without much difficulty, that's the crystallin vitamin C sodium ascorbate or calcium ascorbate. They take one teaspoon three times per day.

develop diarrhea, I ask them to increase it until this occurs and then to cut back below that level. I think in many cases it would be desirable to use intravenous vitamin C and there are doctors now in Canada doing that. The amount that one gives is limited by the skill of the physician, not by the patient.

I also add vitamin B- 3, either niacin or niacinamide. I prescribe from 500 mg to 1500 mg per day. Before I did that empirically, now there is a lot of evidence that B3 does have pretty interesting anticancer properties.

Two years ago, in Texas at one of the osteopathic colleges, there was an international congress, Vitamin B3 and Cancer. There is a lot of work being done in this area today. I also add a B complex preparation 50 or 100. I think vitamin E is an extremely important antioxidant and I use that as well, 800 to 1200 I. U. They also get 25,000 to 75,000 units of beta carotene. I sometimes use vitamin A. I like to use folic acid for lung cancer, and for cancer of the uterus because of work that has been done showing that folic acid might reverse a positive pap smear to negative. I use selenium, 200 mcg, three times per day. I think the toxicity of selenium has been greatly exaggerated. I had a patient from Chile, a refugee, who developed a severe lymphoma. He was operated on but it came back. He had radiation and it Reference: Clinical Procedures in Treating Terminally Ill Cancer Patients with Vitamin C by Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D. Source: www.doctoryourself.com

"High- dose injections of vitamin C, also known as ascorbate or ascorbic acid, reduced tumor weight and growth rate by about 50 percent in mouse models of brain, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers, researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) report in the August 5, 2008, issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (‌).

The NIH researchers, however, tested the idea that ascorbate, when injected at high doses, may have prooxidant instead of antioxidant activity.

Prooxidants would generate free radicals and the formation of hydrogen peroxide, which, the scientists hypothesized, might kill tumor cells. In their laboratory experiments on 43 cancer and 5 normal cell lines, the researchers discovered that high concentrations of ascorbate had anticancer effects in 75 percent of cancer cell lines tested, while sparing normal cells. In their paper, the researchers also showed that these high ascorbate concentrations could be achieved in people. The team then tested ascorbate injections in immunedeficient mice with rapidly spreading ovarian, pancreatic, and glioblastoma (brain) tumors.

The ascorbate injections reduced tumor growth and weight by 41 to 53 percent. In 30 percent of glioblastoma controls, the cancer had spread to other organs, but the ascorbate- treated animals had no signs of disseminated cancer. "These pre- clinical data provide the first firm basis for advancing pharmacologic ascorbate in cancer treatment in humans," the researchers conclude."

recurred. He had been a patient of mine for the treatment of depression when he developed his cancer. He was given three months to live. I had started him on selenium, 600 mcg per day. Like many patients, he thought if 600 is good, more is even better. He came back and said he was taking 2 mg per day, or 2,000 mcg. I became a bit concerned about that and suggested he cut down to 1,000. In any event, he recovered and he has NOW BEEN ALIVE for seven years. There is no evidence of tumor, and his major problem today is reorienting himself in a foreign culture. So I use selenium and I use a lot of it. I use some zinc, especially for prostatic cancers and I do use calcium- magnesium preparations. So this is the basic nutrient program that they all follow. The cost ranges from $50 to $75 per month. People who are dying from cancer don't mind paying this. What are this program's advantages? Well, first of all, THE INCREASE IN LONGEVITY. We have increased the longevity from 5.7 months to approximately 100 months, which is very substantial, and half of the patients are still alive. There has been a tremendous decrease in pain and anxiety, even amongst those who were dying. We do not have the final answer, but we have at least a partial answer. The use of nutrients, like vitamin C and B- 3 increase the efficacy of chemotherapy by increasing its killing effect on the tumor and decreasing its toxicity on normal tissues. The same has been shown to be true with radiation therapy. My conclusion is that vitamin C must be a VITAL COMPONENT of every cancer treatment program.

Vitamin C Summary (The following information is excerpted from: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA) 1

Before concluding this article, it would be well to summarize the relationship of vitamin C to several vital factors and functions: Vitamin C stimulates normal cells to increase production of hyaluronidase inhibitor. This combines with the hyaluronidase released by the cancer cells, so it cannot break down normal cell walls, preparatory for invasion.

Vitamin C is an essential co- factor in the synthesis of carnitine by the body. It is welldocumented that cancer patients have very low levels of carnitine, needed for energy production. Vitamin C increases the body’s production of interferon, which is a cancer- fighting factor in the body.

Vitamin C helps produce PGE1, also called the prostaglandins, which are needed in lymphocyte function. Vitamin C is needed by the body so it can place a wrapper of collagen fibers around cancer cells until they can be torn apart and discharged from the system. Without vitamin C, collagen cannot be made; it is the "cell cement" of the body.

Vitamin C protects the body against radiation, rendering it less devastating.

"Can Vitamin C Cure Cancer? This is the $64,000 question. A review of the medical literature, Vitamin C and Treatment of Cancer: Part I Abstracts and Commentary from the Scientific Literature by Gary Null, Ph.D.; Howard Robins, DPM; Mark Tanenbaum, DPM; and Patrick Jennings, Editor gives concise conclusions for approximately 90 studies.

The most famous work on this subject was by Pauling and Cameron. Dr. Cameron was head of the Cancer department at Vale of Leven hospital.

He and Pauling decided to try giving 10 grams of Vitamin C a day to patients that had exhausted conventional therapies. In this way, the patients were not choosing between the Vitamin C and another treatment, nor was the treatment combined with something else. The results of these tests was published in Cameron and Pauling's book, Cancer and Vitamin C. Dr. Abram Hoffer has been treating cancer patients with a nutritional program for many years. The foundation of his nutritional protocol is vitamin C. Below [Chart 1] is a chart summarizing Hoffer's results treating over 1000 cancer with vitamin C (documented in the updated publishing of Cancer and Vitamin C).

The points to note in the chart above are the relative survival rates. For example, at the end of 1994, about 70% (top, green line and right scale) of the 500+ (dark bar and left scale) patients on Hoffer's nutritional plan were alive. Of those 98 of the 244, or 40%, seen in 1990 were still alive."

Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidant agents, because it both fights free radicals in the body and restores the antioxidant properties of vitamin E. One danger should be noted: When a person is taking large amounts of vitamin C, his body adjusts to this. But if it is suddenly stopped or heavily decreased, vitamin C deficiency symptoms (scorbutic symptoms, called the "rebound effect") can appear. High doses of the vitamin should never be discontinued suddenly.

"In contrast, less than 15% (lower, blue line and right scale) of the 100+ (light bar and left scale) patients not on the plan were alive at the end of 1994. Of those 4 of the 68, or about 6%, seen in 1990 were still alive. There has been some theory concerning vitamin C's potential role in protecting not only healthy cells, but cancer cells as well, thereby interfering with chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Hoffer's view on this is (quoted from his website): "This [vitamin treatment] would enhance the therapeutic effect of the chemotherapy and decrease its toxicity." Also, "If they [cancer patients] needed chemotherapy the program [vitamin therapy] would make it more tolerable and less painful and if they needed radiation the program would decrease the intensity of the side- effects of the radiation and increase its efficacy."

BACKGROUND: Many studies describe the protective role of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) against cancer development and in treatment of established cancer. The present study investigated whether ascorbic acid demonstrates a therapeutic benefit for prostate cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin C inhibits cell division and growth through production of hydrogen peroxide, which damages the cells probably through an as yet unidentified free radical(s) generation/mechanism. Our results also suggest that ascorbic acid is a potent anticancer agent for prostate cancer cells."

Most multi- vitamin formulas are primarily synthetic (e.g. petroleum- derived) vitamins plus crushed industrial rocks, yet even peer reviewed medical research has concluded that food vitamins are SUPERIOR to synthetics [371]. Numerous scientific papers have concluded that Food vitamins and minerals are better than USP isolated ‘nutrients’ because they contain important enzymes, peptides and phytonutrients which are critical to the utilization of vitamins and minerals and are lacking in isolated USP nutrients [e.g. 371,372] .

Vegetarian FOOD Nutrient Compared to USP/Mineral Salt Vitamin A More complete, as scientists teach that vitamin A is not an isolate [373] Vitamin B- 9 More utilizable above 266mcg (Recommended Daily Intake is 400mcg) [374] Vitamin C Over 15.6 times antioxidant effect [375] Vitamin D Over 10 times the antirachitic effect [376] Vitamin E Up to 4.0 times the free radical scavenging strength [377] Vitamin K Safer for children [378] Calcium 7 times as effective in raising serum ionic calcium levels [379] Chromium Up to 25 times more bioavailable [380] Iron Non- constipating, better absorbed [381] Magnesium Better absorbed and retained [382] Selenium Nearly 2 times better retained [383] Zinc Better absorption, better form [384,385]

The Difference is More than Quantitative Some have felt that if they take, for example, twice as much of a synthetic vitamin or industrial rock (called a mineral salt) than a Food vitamin or mineral, then it will be just as effective in the body. That is not true. An analogy might be appropriate here. Let’s say two people want to build a computer. One has 100% of all the parts (like in Food nutrients) and the other has 97% of all the parts, but the parts are a lot bigger (like in USP rocks), which computer will work correctly? The one with all the parts! Shouldn’t your body have all the nutritional parts it needs? USP vitamins and minerals are cheap (or not so cheap) industrial imitations of Food vitamins and minerals- - they are not Food!

Synthetic vitamins and rocks can have some positive nutritional effects (as well as unnatural residues); yet SYNTHETIC VITAMINS & OTHER ROCKS CANNOT REPLACE ALL THE FUNCTIONS OF FOOD VITAMINS & MINERALS! USP vitamins and minerals are not structurally the same, nor in most cases chemically the same, as Food nutrients. As the aim of supplementation is to provide nutrients which may be missing from the diet (for optimal health), it is logical that Food vitamins and minerals can accomplish this much better than synthetic vitamins or crushed industrial rocks.

Food Vitamins and Minerals Do Not Even Look the Same as SUSP! The electron microscope photos below reveal that isolated USP form vitamins and mineral salts have a crystalline appearance whereas Food nutrients have more of a rounded appearance (nutrients in Foods are not crystallisne): Picture (Top): Regular 'Natural' Ascorbic Acid, Picture (Bottom): Food Vitamin C Reference: Vita- Mineral TM , Food Research International, LLC, Paul Blake PhD 369, 370

There Are Also Quality of Life Differences! [372] An in vitro study found that Food Vitamin C has negative oxidative reductive potential (ORP [386], yet the Merck Index reveals that ascorbic acid has positive redox potential [386]. This means that no quantity of USP ascorbic acid can ever match the ability of Food Vitamin C to clean up damage caused by free radicals ("negative ORPs indicate active reducing power, which is immediately capable of antioxidant activity whereas items with positive ORPs are not" [388]). While it is true that both Food and USP vitamin E can reduce some lipids to the same level, this is where the difference ends. The liver has a specific transport protein for natural vitamin E, which it does not have for synthetic vitamin E [377]. Published research suggests that Food vitamin E is up to 4 times better than synthetic vitamin E [377] and that the body apparently tries to rid itself of synthetic vitamin E as fast as it can [389]! In addition, mineral- rich Foods often have specific protein chaperones which aid in mineral absorption and utilization [390]; this may be why minerals in Foods do not have the types of toxicities associated with industrial metals (called mineral salts) [391].

Frankly, there have not been enough long- term studies to show all the benefits of Food nutrients over the rocks and synthetics commonly used in most research studies (and contained in most supplements). Some studies have found that while consuming a diet high in antioxidant nutrient- containing foods has been shown to reduce cancer risk or Alzheirmer’s, attempts by scientists to replicate those results with USP antioxidant vitamins & minerals do not get the same results [372,378,382]. Food nutrition, or as close to Food as possible, seems to be the logical choice. Why take anything else?

In 1987, Dr. Rath discovered the connection between vitamin C deficiency and a new risk factor for heart disease- lipoprotein (a). After publication of these research findings in the American Heart Association journal "Arteriosclerosis," Dr. Rath accepted an invitation to join two- time Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling. In 1990 he went to the United States to become the first Director of Cardiovascular Research at the Linus Pauling Institute in Palo Alto, California.

Dr. Rath worked together with the late Nobel Laureate in various areas of nutritional research.

The two scientists became close personal friends who shared common humanistic values, including their determination for peace and justice. In 1994, shortly before his death, Linus Pauling stated: "There is no doubt in my mind that I was thinking about Dr. Rath as my successor."

"The Nature of the Pharmaceutical Industry: One of Ralph Nader's goals when he ran for president, was to stop corporate welfare. He figured if Congress was so thoughtful to cut welfare to mothers and children (less than 3% of the federal budget), then perhaps it was time to eliminate corporate welfare (greater than 17% of the federal budget).

Nader was quick to focus in on corporate welfare to the pharmaceutical industry, because the American people pay for drugs twice: first in funding the research to prove a drug is safe and effective, and then again when their doctor prescribes the drug, you pay at the pharmacy.

Now there is a lot of talk about conspiracy theories and doctors suppressing therapies and the FDA suppressing therapies, but whether or not there is a conspiracy is a moot point.

There doesn't have to be a conspiracy.

We have capitalism, a system in which every person has the right to grow up and make money. Every major corporation has the right to make as much money as possible, and for some reason, major corporations get more welfare than little corporations. Thus it must be assumed that large corporations are much more important than small corporations.

The pharmaceutical industry is an example of the worst parts of capitalism, capitalism at its least respectable low and capitalism at its most ludicrous high."

The Nature of the Pharmaceutical Industry "The cure or eradication of a disease leads to the collapse of a multi- billion dollar market of pharmaceuticals.

The natural purpose and driving force of the pharmaceutical industry is to increase sales of pharmaceutical drugs for ongoing diseases and to find new diseases to market existing drugs.

By this very nature, the pharmaceutical industry has no interest in curing diseases.

The eradication of any disease inevitably destroys a multi- billion dollar market of prescription drugs as a source of revenues. Therefore, pharmaceutical drugs are primarily developed to relieve symptoms, but not to cure.

If eradication therapies for diseases are discovered and developed, the pharmaceutical industry has an inherent interest to suppress, discredit and obstruct these medical breakthroughs in order to make sure that diseases continue as the very basis for a lucrative prescription drug market.

The economic interest of the pharmaceutical industry itself is the main reason why no medical breakthrough has been made for the control of the most common diseases such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, heart failure, diabetes, cancer, and osteoporosis, and why these diseases continue like epidemics on a worldwide scale.

For the same economic reasons, the pharmaceutical industry has now formed an international cartel by the code name "Codex Alimentarius" with the aim to outlaw any health information in connection with vitamins and to limit free access to natural therapies on a worldwide scale (…)."

People Do" and "Cancer" have sold several million copies in ten languages.

"Fighting for a medical breakthrough against existing interests and dogmas is like sailing on the ocean," says Dr. Rath, "the wind that blows in your face becomes your compass." And he adds: "You don't have to be a university professor or Nobel Laureate; what counts is that heart attacks, strokes, cancer and many other diseases will essentially be unknown in the future (…)."

Dr. Rath pioneered a new way of responsible enterpreneurship: all profits from the sales of the micronutrient programs developed at his institute go to the Dr. Rath Health Foundation, a non- profit organization, focusing on research and education in natural health worldwide.

In addition, this non- profit organization supports a broad spectrum of activities in the field of human health, social justice and – most importantly – in the preservation of peace. In this effort Dr. Rath sees the work of his Foundation as following In the spirit of Nobel Peace prizewinners like Linus Pauling, Albert Schweitzer, Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela.

"At the same time, the pharmaceutical companies withhold public information about the effects and risks of prescription drugs and life- threatening side effects are omitted or openly denied.

In order to assure the status quo of this deceptive scheme, a legion of pharmaceutical lobbyists is employed to influence legislation, control regulatory agencies (e.g. FDA), and manipulate medical research and education.

Expensive advertising campaigns and PR agencies are used to deceive the public.

Millions of people and patients around the world are defrauded twice: A major portion of their income is used up to finance the exploding profits of the pharmaceutical industry. In return, they are offered a medicine that does not even cure."

Why, then, was this information not applied to medicine in order to combat cardiovascular disease? (…)."

Dr. Rath’s Scientific Discovery in Cancer (The following information is excerpted from: Dr. Rath’s Scientific Discovery in Cancer, Dr. Rath Cellular Health™, © Dr. Rath Research Institute. All Rights Reserved.http://www.drrathresearch.org/) 397

Dr. Rath defined a new direction in cancer research by shifting its primary focus from eliminating cancer cells to addressing a common pathomechanism of all cancers, which is the DEGRADATION of the surrounding connective tissue. This mechanism is a precondition for cancer metastasis (the main cause of death from cancer), tumor growth, angiogenesis and other aspects of malignancy. He suggested that the AMINO ACID LYSINE AND VITAMIN C could effectively control this process as the necessary components for OPTIMUM STRENGTH and stability of collagen and connective tissue in the body. For scientific foundation of this approach, please read Dr. Rath's publication.

Cancer develops when cells in one part of an organ in the body escape growth control. Normal body cells grow, divide, and die in a systematic way. During childhood normal cells divide more frequently until the person becomes an adult. Upon reaching adulthood, the cells in most organs of the body divide only to replace dysfunctional or dying cells and to repair injuries.

"Why was the official RDA for vitamin C set at 60 mg, an amount barely sufficient to prevent scurvy but certainly low enough to make sure that cardiovascular diseases will become an epidemic? The following page gives the answer.

Throughout this century, the pharmaceutical companies knew that an optimum vitamin supply of the population would lead to the collapse of a multi- billion dollar market of prescription drugs. Moreover, vitamins are not patentable and the profit margins are low.

On the basis of this analysis the survival of the pharmaceutical industry became dependent on two strategies: ­ To obstruct research, information, and use of vitamins and other natural therapies by all means available. ­ To promote the deception that patentable synthetic drugs are the answer to human diseases.

The Pharmaceutical Industry Is As Indispensable for a Country as Cancer Is for the Body How is it that millions of people are still willing to pay billions of dollars to the pharma- cartel for medicine that does not cure and frequently harms?

The answer to this question is that over the past century the pharma- cartel and their army of lobbyists have built an intricate maze of control, infiltration, economic incentives, bribes, manipulation, and deception. (…)."

regulates the cell growth cycle becomes interrupted, causing the cells to become immortal and to constantly divide. Cancer cell growth never stops. Growing cells expand in a tissue by digesting the surrounding collagen and connective tissue barrier with specific enzymes, the most prominent are matrix metalloproteinases or MMPs. This cell growth results in the formation of a tumor mass.

The same process of collagen digestion is used by cancer cells to spread to other organs (metastasis). To stop cancer metastasis, the activity of MMPs must be inhibited. Dr. Rath and his team of researchers at the Dr. Rath Research Institute have identified a specific combination of nutrients that can inhibit the activity of MMPs and stop the spread of cancer cells. This nutrient combination, includes VITAMIN C, the AMINO ACIDS L- LYSINE and L- PROLINE, a GREEN TEA EXTRACT known as Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), and other micronutrients which work synergistically.

Our extensive research conducted on more than two dozen cancer cell types have shown that this nutrient combination is effective in controlling cancer in multiple ways: stopping its growth, spread, formation of new blood vessels in tumors (angiogenesis) and inducing natural cancer cell death (apoptosis).

"The most important elements of this maze are summarized on the following page.

Millions of people and patients were systematically deceived by this maze of • Manipulation of research so that synthetic drugs rather than natural therapies appear as "medicine," • Prescription of this "medicine" by doctors who have had no education in nutritional medicine and who receive financial benefits for prescribing pharmaceuticals but not natural therapies, • Deception by multi- million dollar advertising campaigns for pharmaceutical drugs that deliberately deceive the public about the effects and risks of drugs and about the unethical nature of the pharma- business, • Regulation brought about by regulatory agencies and legislation under the pressure of a pharmalobby, disallowing established health claims for vitamins and other natural remedies.

In the future no nation can afford to burden its economy with a pharmaceutical industry that grows like a cancer at the expense of the people, of corporations and of the public sector, all of which suffocate from exploding health care costs for a medicine that does not cure."

The scientific community gradually aroused to the fact that vitamin A was a powerful cancer foe. In some respects the full awakening still has not yet fully arrived—even though a remarkable amount of research on selected cancer topics has shown vitamin A to be remarkably capable of overcoming the killer.

"As a practicing physician for over fifty years, I have reached three basic conclusions as to the cause and cure of disease. This book is about those conclusions.

The FIRST is that the primary cause of disease is not germs. Rather, I believe that disease is caused by a toxemia which results in cellular impairment and breakdown, thus paving the way for the multiplication and onslaught of germs.

My SECOND conclusion is that in almost all cases the use of drugs in treating patients is harmful. Drugs often cause serious side effects, and sometimes even create new diseases.

The dubious benefits they afford the patient are at best temporary. Yet the number of drugs on the market increases geometrically every year as each chemical firm develops its own variation of the compounds. The physician is indeed rare who can be completely aware of the potential danger from the side effects of all of these drugs.

My THIRD conclusion is that disease can be cured through the proper use of correct foods. This Statement may sound deceptively simple, but I have arrived at it only after intensive study of a highly complex subject: colloid and endocrine chemistry.

My conclusions are based on experimental and observational results, gathered through years of successfully treating patients. Occasionally I have resorted to c."

the Academy of Lyon on the subject, "What Is Cancer?"

He advocated the use of CARROT JUICE in the treatment of cancer (!). Can you imagine, carrot juice recommended for cancer over 200 years ago—yet, today, few seem to be aware of its remarkable value.

Carrot juice is one of the BEST SOURCES of pro vitamin A, or carotene, which in the liver is converted, as needed, into full vitamin A. In the 1960s, Umberto Saffioti, M.D., a government cancer researcher, found that vitamin A inhibited the development of lung cancer in experimental hamsters. Those animals not receiving the supplement developed cancer very similar to those found in people who smoke (ibid.). In recent decades, some physicians have quietly begun treating their cancer patients with vitamin A. One prominent physician doing this, H.L. Newbold, M.D., a New York physician (…).

He also gave them supplemental vitamin A. Newbold says that the vitamin A not only reduces cancer tissue in his patients, but also increases RESISTANCE in the body to the dreaded disease.

In both ways, it parallels and works closely with vitamin C. But he varies the amount according to the condition of the patient. Keep in mind that the more the liver has been damaged, the less vitamin A can be given at a time. Some patients receive as much as 200,000 IU Reference: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA

"The first mention of vitamin A as a protection against cancer was made in 1922" (S. Mori, Johns Hopkins Medical Bulletin, 33:357- 59, 1922).

"Studies made in 1926 in Japan confirmed this. A remarkable study, made in 1990, compared the cancerfighting abilities of six antioxidant nutrients on chemically induced liver tumors.

(1) Vitamin E caused a 60% reduction in the appearance of the tumors.

(2) Glutathione caused an 80% reduction.

(3) Vitamin C, selenium,and uric acid each caused an 87% reduction.

(4) But beta- carotene produced a 100% reduction in the appearance of those liver tumors" - H.S. Nyandieka, et. al, Indian Journal of Medical Research, 92:332- 36, 1990."

of the vitamin daily. But, since vitamin A can be toxic, if Newbold sees signs of toxicity, he reduces the dosage.

Orthodox medicine teaches that 50,000 UP is the normal threshold for toxicity. Leave it to the Germans to figure out a more efficient way to do the job. Some German cancer specialists have developed a method of emulsifying vitamin A (which they call "A- mulsin"), so they can give up to 3,000,000 IU doses a day for cancer!

Using this formula, the Janker Clinic in Germany was able to obtain FULL OR PARTIAL REMISSION in 70% of the 76,000 patients it has treated since 1936.

For some reason, the FDA banned A- mulsin.

The NCI was uninterested in it, and the ACS said it was determined to keep the Janker technique out of the United States.

In the early spring of 1976, just before an Esquire article was to be published on the Janker method, the National Cancer Institute suddenly announced clinical trials were about to begin on a vitamin A- like compound. It turned out to be, not vitamin A nor carrot juice, but a synthetic variant manufactured by the Swiss pharmaceutical giant, Hoffmann- La Roche. Testing began in 1978, but not much came of it.

"The Basel study should be noted.

Conducted from 1971 to 1973, it was the first large- scale analysis of betacarotene and human cancer, and received a twelve- year follow- up.

Beta- carotene came through with flying colors (Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 73:1463- 68, 1984;American Journal of Epidemiology, 133(8):766- 75, 1991).

Other studies attest to the cancerfighting abilities of beta- carotene (New England Journal of Medicine, 315- 1250- 54, 1986; Journal of Nutrition,119:116- 22, 1989).

Over 20 studies have been made, showing that a diet high in vitamin A and beta- carotene strongly reduces the risk of developing cancer. Vitamin A increases the number of T- cells, and beta- carotene increases the number of killer (NK) cells."

Reference: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, 1998 400- 404

In the 1960s, Drs. Santa Maria and Bianchi, two Italian researchers, concluded a number of research studies which demonstrated that vitamin A had the ability to prevent cancer in cell and organ cultures, as well as in chemically induced cancers in animals.

Since then, many subsequent studies have CONFIRMED their ground- breaking work. But, gradually, it has been discovered that beta- carotene is even more powerful as an anti- cancer agent.

Here is the story. Nearly 90% of all cancers affect the epithelial cells. These cells line the skin, gastro- intestinal tract, all body openings, and thin tissues throughout the body. Beta- carotene aids the body in preventing and eliminating these cancers.

Vitamin A and beta- carotene are chemically related. All the vitamin A comes from animal sources (meat, eggs, milk, cheese), and all the beta- carotene comes from fruits and vegetables. Beta- carotene is also called pro- vitamin A, because it can be made into it.

Actually, beta- carotene is just two molecules of vitamin A linked together! When the body needs more vitamin A, enzymes in the intestines split a molecule of betacarotene in half.

There is also another difference: Vitamin A is oilsoluble and can be toxic in large amounts or if too much is stored up by the liver. But beta- carotene is waterReference: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA

"In the 1920s, Japanese scientists found that stomach cancer could be produced in rats, simply by depriving them of vitamin A (Joseph Hixson, "Vitamin A and the Forces that Be," Harpers, June 1976).

In the 1930s, scientists at Cambridge, England, showed that vitamin A was essential for proper differentiation (maturation) of epithelial cells. It was noted that a majority of lung cancers occurred when these same cells in the bronchi failed to mature (ibid.). Then, in the United States, research at Memorial Hospital in New York City showed there is often a deficiency of this vitamin in the blood of cancer patients. (The same observation has been made for vitamin C.) It should be noted here that damage to the liver will cause a decided deficiency of vitamin A! Thus, liver damage (or having it become overloaded with toxins) can be a precursor to malignancy somewhere in the body."

soluble and no known overdose toxicity exists. Vitamin A is also known as retinol, and its many analogs are called retinoids. Beta- carotene is but one of several carotenoids—but it is the most abundant and demonstrates the highest biological activity of any of them (…).

Beta- carotene is also a powerful anti- oxidant, capable of NEUTRALIZING cancer- causing free radicals. It is well- known that free- radical damage to DNA can produce cancer. Back in the 1960s, it was thought that vitamin A was all- important, and that carotene was not so important. It was not until research in 1981, that the attention of the scientific community was turned to the fact that beta- carotene is a more powerful cancer fighter than vitamin A. Many other studies were then carried out which confirmed this. By the mid- 1980s, it was discovered that, unlike any other anti- oxidant, betacarotene could neutralize two of the worst cancer- causing free radicals: the oxygen free radical and the polyunsaturated fatty- acid radical.

There is no other substance, enzyme, etc., in the body or available to it—which can neutralize oxygen free radicals. Yet tumor metabolism generates large quantities of oxygen free radicals (also called singlet- oxygen free radicals), which are the most damaging type free radicals.

As a result of the research, beta- carotene has become the preferred method of treating cancer rather than vitamin A—although both are well- documented cancer fighters. The fact that beta- carotene has no known toxicity should not be overlooked. In contrast, daily high doses of vitamin A can damage the liver. The only side effect of betacarotene (called carotenosis) is a yellowish- orange appearance to the skin. But this is totally harmless.

Life Building with Raw Carrots (The following information is excerpted from: Health Benefits of Carrot Juice, Guide to Herbal Remedies, 2009, http://guide2herbalremedies.com) 400

Carrots should be considered a goldmine of natural vitamins and nutrients. Among other raw vegetable juices, carrot juice is an absolute leader in the context of the variety of its therapeutic effects, the contents of useful elements and its compatibility with other juices or foods. Nutritional and therapeutic values of carrot juice were discovered by the health practitioners of early European civilizations. Carrots originate from the Mediterranean region, where this vegetable was used by the Ancient Greeks since the 20th century B.C. They loved drinking carrot juice for its excellent cleansing effects and, in addition, it was considered a good remedy for constipation and physical exhaustion.

As we all know, no other vegetable contains as much beta- carotene as carrots. In our body, beta- carotene is converted into Vitamin A, which assists in improving our eyesight and the functioning of our immune system, strengthening our bones and teeth, preventing possible problems with the functioning of the thyroid glad. Vitamin A also has positive effects on our hair, nails and skin. Besides, this Vitamin is associated with good cleansing effects: it can clean our liver from fat and other unnecessary elements. However, for receiving maximum results for the liver, it is necessary to drink carrot juice on a regular basis.

The list of useful microelements and nutrients which are contained in carrots is really very impressive. Along with the mentioned beta- carotene, it includes also Vitamins C, B, E, D and K, proteins, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, aluminum, sodium, manganese, iron, copper and a lot of other minerals. Carrots contain great amounts of nicotine acid, which is important for metabolism of fats and lipids. The vegetable is a great source of natural magnesium, which assists in decreasing

bad cholesterol levels in the body, helps to relieve spasms and strengthen our blood vessels.

Carrot juice has very good anti- inflammatory, anti- cancerous and anti- aging properties. Carotene is a known anti- oxidant, which can prevent degenerative processes in the cells and has great anti- aging effects. The compounds containing in carrot juice also have antiseptic and anti- bacterial properties. That is why it can be effective to treat wounds and insect bites with some carrot juice, which in such case will also bring some slight relief for pain and help to avoid swelling. Also, drinking raw carrot juice can be helpful for lowering the symptoms of stresses and normalizing the function of your digestive system.

Many specialists underline that mixing carrot juice with other fruit or vegetable juices can substantially boost therapeutic effects of these natural remedies. For example, adding some spinach juice to a glass of your carrot juice can help you to refresh your mind, calm down and improve your sleep. Also, this mixture has very good cleansing properties and can relieve the symptoms of constipation (‌).

Drinking carrot juice is extremely beneficial for pregnant women and young children. Vitamins A and E are very important for normal development of the fetus.

„The work of Dr.Krebs Family was a passionate devotion to save life."

(~ 1950AD) Krebs Family Ernest T. Krebs Sr & Jr.., John A. Richardson, Dr. M.H. Kowan, Dr. Dean Burk

Ernest T. Krebs Jr. (1912 - 1996) studied biology, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and many other disciplines and held various patents on medical innovations.

Son of Ernest T. Krebs, Sr., M.D. a prominent biochemist from San Francisco.

With his father discovered Vitamin B- 17 also known as Laetrile or Amygdalin. Discoverer of a Vitamin B- 15 or pangamic acid. Studied and expanded the knowledge in pancreatic enzymes, particularly Chymotrypsin.

Dr. Krebs was born in Carson City, Nevada. From 1938 to ‘41 He was a student of the Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia, Pa. At that time, He received his A.B. degree from the University of Illinois in 1942. He was a graduate student at the University of California in Berkeley from 1943 to 1945 and did research work in pharmacy from 1942 to 1945 (...).

"After presenting a rather effective lecture on cancer…the windshield was shot out of my car on the road back to San Francisco. The next night the glass window in the tail gate was shot out (300 miles removed from the first shooting). The police said, 'maybe someone is trying to tell you something'. The late Arthur Harris, M.D. was threatened by two men with assassination if he continued to use laetrile. Since that time we have decentralised the work so that, if any two of us are shot out of the saddle, it will have only a slight negative effect on the program." - Dr. Ernest T. Krebs "The slight variations in extracting procedure cause many of the amygdalin (Vitamin B- 17, Laetrile) molecules to change to a form unknown to nature(:) isomers...There are ...purveyors who label their 'isoamygdalin' products 'amygdalin' contrary to all of the recognized specs...For commercial or political purposes, they certainly cannot justify such a fallacy...This scientific heresy and commercial fraud...(is) tremendously reducing the effectiveness of amygdalin therapy. ...To mislabel iso- amygdalin as amygdalin is scientifically, medically, and morally indefensible." - Dr. Ernst T. Krebs, Jr. discoverer of vitamins B- 15 and B- 17.

"Dr. Ernest J. Krebs, Jr., (and his secretary) ...began serving a six- month prison term in May (1983) in the San Francisco County Jail. (They) were found guilty of continuing to promote the merits of Laetrile in cancer therapy in violation of terms of probation they had originally secured following their 1973 conviction." - Choice, spring 1983.

(‌) With his father, the late Ernst T. Krebs Sr. MD, Krebs Jr. believed that a group of natural chemicals widely dispersed in nature and generally described as cyanide- bearing sugars (nitrilosides, cyanogenetic glucosides, cyanogenic glycosides, etc.) are the natural exogenous support system for the suppression of cancer.

The most historically notable and most studied of these compounds, amygdalin, is generally construed as "LAETRILE" (a brand name) although California law and other resources refer to the nitrilosides in general as "laetriles."

In his later years, Krebs Jr. broadened the classification of "Vitamin B17" (originally designated for amygdalin and other nitrilosides) to include compounds structurally similar to the above, including aspirin in its natural state. He included the breakdown products of such, including benzaldehyde, and classified them all as the "Vitamin B17 complex."

Western medical orthodoxy never accepted the designation "vitamin" to cover amygdalin, the nitrilosides or similar food factors. But several biochemists and chemists have.

"Certainly one story that needs to be told is that of Dr. Kanematsu Sugiura.

In 1975, Dr. Sugiura was, and had been for some years, one of the most respected cancer research scientists at Sloan- Kettering. In working with cancerous mice, Dr. Sugiura found that, when he used Laetrile on these mice, seventy- seven per cent of them did not develop a spread of their disease (metastatic carcinoma). He repeated this study over and over for two years. The results were always the same. Dr. Sugiura took his findings to his superiors at Sloan- Kettering, but his study was never published. Instead, Sloan- Kettering published the results of someone else who claimed that he had used Dr. Sugiura's protocol. This "someone else's" study showed that there were no beneficial effects from the use of Laetrile. Dr. Sugiura complained. He was fired. A book was written about all of this entitled The Anatomy of A Cover- up. This book has all the actual results of Dr. Sugiura's work. These results do, indeed, show the benefit of Laetrile. Dr. Sugiura stated in this book, "It is still my belief that Amygdalin cures metastases."

Amygdalin is, of course, the scientific name for Laetrile." ALIVE AND WELL by Philip E. Binzel, Jr., M.D., 1994 401

division of the American National Cancer Institute (NCI), argued that laetriles should in fact be classified as the 17th B vitamin in order of elucidation based on their ubiquity in nature, water- solubility, essential non- toxicity and the proposal that their absence led to cancer.

The Krebs family (at one time including three physicians) developed and researched oral and injectable forms, primarily of amygdalin, as non- toxic anti- cancer compounds and thus became embroiled in the most widely ranging medical controversy in 20th- century America.

While American medical orthodoxy argued that laetrile was a useless, bogus anti- cancer drug, hundreds of doctors and thousands of patients claimed STRIKING RESPONSES, including outright "cures," for laetrile, beginning with its research use in the 1920s and between 1950 and the heyday of laetrile's fight for legality in the 1970s.

The move to "decriminalize" what amounted to an extract of apricot kernels became a sociopolitical, populist cause in the 1970s and 1980s, largely led by the Committee for Freedom of Choice in Cancer Therapy Inc. with considerable philosophical and to some extent manpower support from the conservative John Birch Society.

"To the Cancer Establishment, a cancer patient is a profit centre. The actual clinical and scientific evidence does not support the claims of the Cancer Industry. Conventional cancer treatments are in place as the law of the land because they pay, not heal, the best. Decades of the politics- ofcancer- as- usual have kept you from knowing this, and will continue to do so unless you wake up to their reality/" - Dr. J Diamond MD and Lee Cowden MD 402 "The trophoblast in pregnancy indeed does exhibit all the classical characteristics of cancer. It spreads and multiplies rapidly as it eats its way into the uterus wall preparing a place where the embryo can attach itself for maternal protection and nourishment."... ..."To be more accurate, we should say it is cancer if the healing process is not terminated upon completion of its task." Edwards Griffin, author and researcher of World Without Cancer 402, 405

"After more than twenty years of such specialized work, I have found the nontoxic Nitrilosides—that is, Laetrile—far superior to any other known cancer treatment or preventative. In my opinion it is the only existing possibility for the ultimate control of cancer."

- Dr. Nieper in World Without Cancer by Edward Griffin 402, 405 "I write what I see," he said repeatedly.

"Laetrile is not a cure for cancer, but a good palliative drug." - remembering Dr. Sugiura by Ralph Moss 402

freedom of choice spanned all shades of the political spectrum, however.

By 1981, laetrile had been "decriminalized" in one form or another in 24 of the US states including more than half the country's population despite intense institutional opposition.

Laetrile- using doctors and distributors were arrested and the smuggling of Mexican- manufactured laetrile products became a major federal case in 1975.

For more than a decade, a federal judge allowed American cancer patients procuring laetrile from foreign sources to import the substance. The issue was heard before a US Senate subcommittee, the Supreme Court and an appeals court.

In 1980- 81, US medical orthodoxy, primarily bowing to political pressure, organized and conducted a "laetrile clinical trial" which was said to have found the compounds worthless against cancer.

Rebuttals by laetrile proponents as well as criticisms by independent scientists, however, cast the conclusions of the federal study on a handful of carefully selected patients in doubt. The trial was a severe propaganda setback for the compound, which never again rose as a major challenge to authority.

Even so, the revolution in "metabolic medicine" was largely caused by the laetrile furor and independent Reference: Dr. Krebs Dies, But His Laetrile Legacy Lives On, Dr Ernst T. Krebs, International Council for Health Freedom, http://www.encognitive.com

"The palliative action [improving the comfort and well- being of the patient] is in about 60% of the cases.

Frequently, enough to be significant, I see arrest of the disease or even regression in some 15% of the very advanced cases."

- Ernesto Contreras, M.D. 402 "So, here is a bureau of the Federal Government which, a short time before, had said that the reason Laetrile did not work was because it did not release hydrogen cyanide in the presence of cancer cells. Now, when they find that it does, they say that it is toxic. When offered an opportunity to present evidence of Laetrile's toxicity in Federal Court, they admitted that they had none. Laetrile and the Life Saving Substance Called Cyanide" - Philip Binzel, Jr., M.D. 402 "Amygdalin (laetrile) is another key component for keeping cancer from growing and should be considered a standard, entirely safe treatment for all cancer patients."

- Dr. Atkins.,M.D. 402 "Laetrile is most assuredly a very potent anti- cancer factor but requires stringent methods of use in order to succeed. Amateurs invariably fail.

High sounding U.S. pronouncements that ‘laetrile’ is toxic and ineffective are fraudulent and calculated to deceive. It will become again one of the major weapons in the cancer therapy armamentarium."

- Dr Richards & Frank Hourigan 402

research in the 1980s backhandedly supported some of the ideas behind laetrile: - Many of the plant families in which the Krebses and laetrilists found "Vitamin B17" present were those very families in which modern research discovered useful ANTICANCER PHYTOCHEMICALS and "non- nutritive food factors," such as benzyl aromatic isothiocyanates (BAITs), which are structurally similar to "B17."

- Research around the world, particularly in Japan, continued to find anti- cancer utility from benzaldehyde (usually present in the "B 17" compounds).

- The "laetrile anti- cancer diet" advanced decades ago (fewer refined carbohydrates, no stimulants, less animal fat and protein, more fruits, vegetables and unrefined grains in as natural a state as possible) was essentially adopted by mainstream medicine as a cancer preventive diet. Laetrile remains a fixture in metabolic and integrative anticancer protocols in several hospitals in Mexico, Asia and Europe and, occasionally, in the US. Another Krebs family discovery, pangamic acid or Vitamin B 15, was officially recognized as such in the Germanies and the former Soviet Union.

"The majority of my patients receiving Laetrile - amygdalin have been in a terminal state when treatment with this material commenced. It is my carefully considered clinical judgment, as a practicing oncologist and researcher in this field, that I have obtained most significant and encouraging results with the use of Laetrile - amygdalin in the treatment of terminal cancer patients, and that these results are comparable or superior to the results I have obtained with the use of the more toxic standard cytotoxic agents."

- Navarro, M.D., Manuel "The cyano group of vitamin B- 12 (cyano- cobal- amin) is more labile and potentially more harmful than the cyano group found in Laetrile. Yet we know how safe and essential vitamin B12 is." - Dr. R.A. Passwater, testimony, FDA docket # 77N- 0048.

It is certainly a pleasure to be here at the Second Annual Convention of the Cancer Control Society- an outgrowth, as you know, of the International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends.

As I look back through the years marketing the emergence of these two fine Societies, I can recall the number of miraculous victories we have had in those intervening years; that it is as true today as it was eleven years ago that Laetrile, Vitamin B17, is the first and last final hope in the prophylacsis in therapy of cancer in man and animals. The reason for this is that Laetrile is a vitamin. It is the 17th of the B vitamins.

We hear a great deal about its use in terminal cancer, but the time to start with vitamin B17 is now before the disease become clinical. The time to start is the same with any matter of adequate nutrition and that is right now. You may start now by commencing to eat the seeds of all common fruits that you eat. The apricot and peach seed contain almost 2 percent of vitamin B17 by weight. The apple seed, although very small, is equally rich in Vitamin B17. So are the seeds of prunes, plums, cherries, and nectarines. The only Reference: The Nature of Cancer by Ernst Krebs, Jr., Excerpted from www.whale.to

The Four Optional Modes Of Cancer Therapy. An excerpt from World Without Cancer by G. Edward Griffin. Dr. Robert D. Sullivan, Department of Cancer Research at the Lahey Clinic Foundation: "There has been an enormous undertaking of cancer research to develop anti- cancer drugs for use in the management of neoplastic diseases in man. However, progress has been slow, and no chemical agents capable of inducing a general curative effect on disseminated forms of cancer have yet been developed.

If it is true that Orthodox chemotherapy is (1) toxic, (2) immunosuppressant, (3) carcinogenic, and (4) futile, then why would doctors continue to use it? The answer is that they don't know what else to do.

Patients usually are not scheduled into chemotherapy unless their condition seems so hopeless that the loss of life appears to be inevitable anyway. Some doctors refer to this stage, not as therapy, but experimentation, which, frankly, is a more honest description.

Another reason for using drugs in the treatment of cancer is that the doctor does not like to tell the patient there is no hope. In his own mind he knows there is none, but he also knows that the patient does not want to hear that and will seek another physician who will continue some kind of treatment, no matter how useless. So he solves the problem by continuing the treatment himself (‌)."

common fruit on the hemisphere that lacks nitrilosidic seeds, are the citrus fruits. This lack has come about by artificial cultivation by breeding and hybridization, since the seeds of citrus fruits on the African continent still contain Vitamin B17.

Two more rich sources of Vitamin B17 are the simple cereal millet and buckwheat. Macadamia nuts, although expensive and exotic, are very rich in Vitamin B17 and so are bamboo shoots, mung beans, lima beans, butter beans and certain strains of garden peas. But for convenience, the simple source for your Vitamin B17 are the seeds of the common fruit.

We know something about the prophylactic dose of Vitamin B17. For example, we know the Hunza's represent a population that has been cancer free for over 900 years of its existence. This population has a natural diet, which supplies on the average between 50 to 75 milligrams of Vitamin B17 a day.

Hunzaland is a land that has sometimes been described as the "PLACE WHERE APRICOT IS KING." The Hunzakuts eat the fresh apricots for the three months they are in season and the remainder of the year they eat dried apricots. They never eat a dried apricot without enclosing the seed between them. This supplies them with better than average of 50 to 75 milligrams of Vitamin B17 a day.

"In his book The Wayward Cell, Cancer, Dr. Victor Richards made it clear that chemotherapy is used primarily just to keep the patient returning for treatment and to build his morale while he dies. But there is more!

He said: Nevertheless, chemotherapy serves an extremely valuable role in keeping patients oriented toward proper medical therapy, and prevents the feeling of being abandoned by the physician in patients with late and hopeless cancers.

Judicious employment and screening of potentially useful drugs may also prevent the spread of cancer quackery.

[Emphasis added.]

Heaven forbid that anyone should forsake the nauseating, pain- racking, cancerspreading, admittedly ineffective "proven cures" for such "quackery" as Laetrile! Here, at last, is revealed the true goal of much of the socalled "educational" programs of orthodox medicine- psychologically to condition people not to try any other forms of therapy. That is why they perpetuate the myth of "proven cures."

The American Cancer Society, in its Unproven Methods of Cancer Management, stated: When one realizes that 1,500,000 Americans are alive today because they went to their doctors in time, and that the proven treatments of radiation and surgery are responsible for these cures, he is less likely to take a chance with a questionable practitioner or an unproven treatment (‌)."

There are many of us in the Western World who don't ingest this amount of Vitamin B17 in the course of an entire year. As a result we're in the midst of a fulminating deficiency of Vitamin B17 or nitriloside, the anti- neoplastic vitamin. Its absence from our diets accounts for the fact that cancer on our population has reached such a pandemisity as to account for its occurrence in one in every three American families. The occurrence is probably much greater than that because it is very late in its development when the cancer is detected... Many who develop cancer are killed by accident or intercurrent diseases before the malignant process has become sufficiently advanced to cause them to have it diagnosed.

Cancer is a chronic, metabolic disease...that is obvious. It isn't an infectious disease, which is caused by bacteria of viruses. It is a disease that is METABOLIC IN ORIGIN. A metabolic disease is a disease that is linked with our utilization of food.

Most metabolic diseases have as their basis specific vitamins and minerals.

Let me give you a categorical or axiomatic truth to take with you. One that is totally uncontradictable, scientifically, historically and in every other way. This is that no chronic or metabolic disease in the history of medicines has ever been prevented or cured, except by Reference: The Nature of Cancer by Ernst Krebs, Jr., Excerpted from www.whale.to

"Here is a brief outline of the four optional modes of cancer therapy: SURGERY: Least harmful. Sometimes a life- saving, stop- gap meas- ure. No evidence that patients who receive radical or extensive surgi- cal options live any longer than those who receive the most conservative options, or, for that matter, those who receive none at all. Believed to increase the likelihood of disseminating cancer to other locations.

When dealing with internal tumors affecting reproductive or vital organs, the statistical rate of long- term survival is, on the average, 10- 15%. After metastasis, the statistical chances for long- term survival are close to zero (...).

RADIOLOGY: Very harmful in many ways. Spreads the cancer and weakens the patient's resistance to other diseases.

Serious and painful side- effects, including heart failure. No evidence that treated patients live any longer, on the average, than those not treated.

Statistical rate of long- term survival after metastasis is close to zero.

CHEMOTHERAPY: Also spreads the cancer through weakening of immunological defense mechanism plus general toxicity.

Leaves patient susceptible to other diseases and infections, often leading to death from these causes. Extremely serious sideeffects. No evidence that treated patients live any longer, on the average, than untreated patients. Statistical rate of long- term survival after metastasis is close to zero (‌)."

factors normal to the diet or normal to the animal economy. There have been many erstwhile fatal devastating diseases that now have become virtually unknown. They have been prevented and cured by ingesting the dietary factors and thereby preventing the deficiencies, which accounted for these diseases.

The one in which you are probably most familiar is Scurvy. A fatal disease that killed mankind by the thousands. A disease that would sometimes wipe out an entire Polar expedition or accounted for about 50 percent mortality among the Crusaders. A disease that is totally prevented and totally cured by Vitamin C or ascorbic acid a factor normal to an adequate diet. As you know so well from your school days that Great Britain acquired the dominion of the seas, by empirically discovering that by adding lime or other citrus juices to the provisions of the British mariners the curse of scurvy from the British sea power was removed. Therefore, Britain competitively gained the ascendancy on the seas. Prior to the incorporation of Vitamin C into their diets it wasn't uncommon for three- fourths of the crew to become seriously ill by the end of a voyage and then those who didn't die would mysteriously recover after hitting shore because they would have access to fresh fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin C.

Then we have Pernicious Anemia, which had a mortality rate of 98 or 99 percent. And no medical modality under the sun could touch it. Arsenic and its salts, strychnine, iron and hundreds of other remedies were tried, but to no avail until the researchers Drs. Murphy, Shipple and Minot commenced their classical studies on the relationship of Pernicious Anemia to dietary deficiency.

While working at the University of California they discovered a very simple remedy for preventing and curing this disease. They simply said to their patients, "go down to your butcher shop and get a quarter pound of fresh liver. Grind it up and take a tablespoon everyday and take the quarter pound and cook it very lightly and just singe the surface and use this as a ration for three days." And when the patients followed this advice without exception, those with Pernicious Anemia made complete recoveries. Despite this these men were censored by the Medical Establishment at the time and were criticized for engaging in what was alleged to be Medical QUACKERY. The argument was how can respectable doctors advise people with a disease that has a 99 percent mortality rate to IGNORE all of the established drugs of medical science and go down to the butcher shop and buy some raw liver and take Reference: The Nature of Cancer by Ernst Krebs, Jr., Excerpted from www.whale.to

this and expect this to cure a disease that nothing else had CURED. Well, raw liver did cure the disease and raw liver did prevent it.

As the chemistry of raw liver was studied it was discovered that the factors responsible were Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid. So Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid are now a part of our normal dietary experience.

So in 1974, the uninformed, the unimaginative and some of the illiterate are concerned with what to them is a preposterous idea that by eating seed of fruit you can prevent a disease that carries a mortality rate almost as high as that once carried by pernicious Anemia. But scientific truth isn't dependent upon credibility or lack of it. The scientific reality either is or isn't. And this is the scientific reality that the seeds of all common fruits (except citrus) contain Vitamin B17, an ANTI CANCER VITAMIN. If we ingest proper quantities for these vitamin either in the pure form or through ingesting the nitrilosidic foods we will be able to prevent this decease just as surely as we are able to prevent Scurvy by the use of vitamin C or Pernicious Anemia by the use of vitamin B12.

American southwest, that there were entire hospitals given to the treatment of Pellagrans.

The great Sir William Osler in his "Principles and Practices of Medicine" written at the turn of this century, said of Pellagra, "I was at Lenoir, North Carolina during one winter and this winter I visited the Lenoir home for the colored insane and there 75 percent of the inmates died from the disease. It ran rampant through this institution and convinced me beyond any doubt that pellagra is a virus that is infectious."

And then came the fine works of the United States Public Health Service Surgeon, Dr. Goldberger, who showed conclusively that the occurrence of Pellagra was related with a DEFICIENCY of fresh green material in the diet... So Dr. Goldberger approached this problem first by the use of Brewer's Yeast, which would completely prevent and cure pellagra. Further studies then showed that the factor in Brewer's yeast that was most determinate of this effect was niacin, Vitamin B3.

Let's make it clear by what we mean by biological experience to the organism. We refer to the experience the of the organism has had over the million years of its evolution. The organism was exposed to water, air, carbohydrates, fats, amino acids and various salts and these factors became integrated with the evolving organism. And the evolving organism became integrated with these factors. And these factors with the evolving organism were incorporated into the beautiful machinery of "life." And the vital mechanism of life runs just like the parts of fine Swiss watch only infinitely more complex.

Scientific Study on Amygdalin: Subacute Toxicity Of Kemdalin (100% Pure Mexican Amygdalin) Applied Orally In Dogs by Dr. Jose Ernesto Contreras Pulido, M.D. Medical Director of KEMSA LABS "(‌) Conclusions: The Minimum Toxic Dosage (MTB) of KEMDALIN (AMYGDALIN) given orally was 100 mg/kg B.W. which is some 12 times greater than that commonly given to humans, and the minimum lethal dosage (MLD) was not achieved in dosages of up to 1000 mg/kg B.W. for five consecutive days, or a total dosage of 143,000 mg in a period of 25 days: 13,172 mg/kg B.W. We believe that the dosage of 30 to 35 mg/kg B.W. of KEMDALIN in humans can be used with an adequate margin of safety, for toxicity studies (Phase I), and antineoplastic activity (Phase II and Ill).

NOTE: After completing the study, Dr. Cota stated that to the same dog, after two weeks of rest, he administered orally 12 g. of KEMDALIN per day for seven consecutive days and the dog only experienced ocular hyperemia, apathy and diminution in the ingestion of food and water. On the eighth day he gave the dog a dosage of 15 g with which appeared generalized convulsions, cyanosis, lethargy and coma within two hours which lasted for a period of approximately eight hours.

In less than three days after discontinuing the AMYGDALIN (KEMDALIN) there was complete recovery of activity and ingestion and the disappearance of the ocular hyperemia. The dog was still alive two months after the study was finalized."

can do to improve upon it. We do know that in the history of medicine there never had been found anything foreign to the indwelling requirements of this machinery that will do the living organism any good. And we can go further to say there has never in the history of medicine been found anything foreign to the indwelling machinery of this infinitely complex system that will NOT HARM the organism. There isn't such a thing as a factor foreign to the biological experience that is not harmful to the organism.

There is nothing we can add to our air water and food to improve it. The most we can do is to look at some of our devitalized food and hopefully attempt to REPLACE that which was capriciously removed from it in the process of food refining, manipulation or cooking. There is absolutely nothing that we can add to that food to improve it. These things are basic.

There isn't any chemical or drug that medical science could suggest that would make us healthier or better adjusted or wiser or give us hope for a longer life.

There isn't a single drug or molecule in nature that can unless that molecule exists in normal food. And this probably explains one of the reasons why there is so much resistance to Laetrile, B17.

The application of this science brings us face to face with a lot of things we do not like to face. We have Reference: The Nature of Cancer by Ernst Krebs, Jr., Excerpted from www.whale.to

That there must be a simple way, a short cut, that somehow or other medical science or some other manmade forces beyond our comprehension will do for us those things we must do for ourselves. And it is slowly dawning on us, perhaps too slowly that this thinking is fraudulent; that it is unsound.

It isn't in the field of cancer alone where we see this form of charlatanism or quackery. We see it in the area of the human mind. The futile attempts to spare man from the realities that surround him. Above all to spare him from the fact that he is accountable to himself and to his God and that there is no short cut in this accountability.

It's real at the physical level. And when we are eating less than adequate food, we know better. And when we continue we are engaged in SIN, this is the basis for practically all of our PHYSICAL AND MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL DIFFICULTIES. We had better be realistic about it.

Scientific Study on Amygdalin: Teratogenicity Of Kemdalin Administered Intravenously In A Female Dog Br. Jose Ernesto Contreras Pulido, M.D. Medical Director of KEMSA LABS "(‌) Results: At dosages of 500 mg/kg B.W. during three consecutive days, there were no symptoms; on the fourth day the dosage was doubled (1000 mg/kg B.W.) with which the dog showed slight adipsia which disappeared after 24 hours. The dosage was repeated two more times and the dog exhibited loss of hair, anorexia and adipsia which ceased after 24 hours. The dosage was raised to 36 g. (2,000 mg/kg B.W.) for three more times and the treatment was discontinued once and for all.

The dog gave birth at the end of her term, three females and two males, apparently healthy and with an average weight of 450 g. each.

Currently the dogs are four months of age and serving as watch dogs in our laboratory.

Conclusion: This study agrees with the previous ones and confirms that AMYGDALIN is not teratogenic even in massive dosages by intravenous applications, in dogs."

the old fashion Biblical sense that the "wages of sin are death."

If you are not getting Vitamin B17 in your food the best way to get it is in the pure form. If you have cancer, the most important single consideration is to get the maximum amount of Vitamin B17 into your body in the shortest period of time. This is secondary to the medical skill involved in administering it, which is relatively minimal. Then very often there are many supportive measures that are taken in the management of the cancer patient such as the use of materials to build up the blood, to raise or lower the blood pressure or to relieve the pain.

Pancreatic enzymes and vegetable enzymes are part of the supportive theory. You have the papaya melons as the source of the enzyme Papain and pineapple as a source of the enzyme Bromelain.

The demasking effect of these enzymes against the pericellular layer of the malignant cell is something very concrete in the immunology of cancer. Now I prefer, rather than advising the use of bromelain or papaya tablets that the individual seeking these enzymes get them directly from the fresh ripe pineapple and papaya fruit. As much as half a pineapple a day should be ingested.

Phase III Study Of Inoperable Lung Cancer Antitumoral Effect Of Amygdalin In Patients With Inoperable Lung Cancer By: Dr. Ernesto Contreras Rodriguez, M.D., Dr. Jose Ernesto Contreras Pulido, M.D., Dr. Abel Mellado Prince, M.D., Medical Oncologists, Directors of the Centro Medico y Hospital Del Mar, Playas de Tijuana, B.C.N., Mexico "Summary: A total of 257 patients with a diagnosis of inoperable lung cancer in all its histologic types, clinical stages and grades of functional capacity (KP.S.—Karnofsky Performance Status) were treated intravenously with AMYGDALIN for three weeks and orally, with or without the intravenous application for the remainder of the study or until voluntary suspension. There were 15 complete remissions, 17 partials and 110 stabilizations for six or more months; 55.25% of the patients survived 12 or more months from the date of diagnosis and 34.63% from the initial dose of AMYGDALIN. It is concluded that although this study is considered to be a Phase II study, it proves the antitumoral effect of AMYGDALIN and justifies more Phase II and Ill studies. We conclude that the use of AMYGDALIN is an acceptable palliative for pa tients with inoperable lung cancer. There was no evidence of AMYGDALIN toxicity (‌)."

This is the way to go. You have nothing to lose by eating fresh pineapple and papaya melons. Nothing to lose by eating millet, the seeds of all the common fruits and whole fresh foods.

Dietary deficiencies arrive primarily from eating less than whole food. This is why the Federal and State governments have made mandatory the artificial enrichment of white flour. Look at any loaf of white bread or white flour that has been enriched by the addition of crystalline Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, niacin, iron and all the rest. What a commentary on the stupidity of our civilization that we put good food through a process that defects it of its essential nutrients and then enforced by the Government mandate requirements that say that we must restore to this food some of the things that have been processed out. One of the most critical factors is removed and that is wheat germ, which contains the Vitamin E and the poly unsaturated fatty acids. it would not be necessary to take it in supplementation if our foods were not manipulated in a way to remove this.

Now something about supplementation's in addition to the Vitamin B17. We can't think in terms of just one vitamin. We get an adequate diet by eating as wide a variety of whole natural foods as possible and as

"Results: A total of 257 patients with inoperable lung cancer, adequately documented, were included in the study. 183 patients were men and 74 were women. The average age was 56, the youngest was 24, and the oldest was 85. Persistence or recurrence of the disease because of failure of previous treatments was verified in 192 patients and 65 patients received radiotherapy to the primary lung tumor simultaneously with AMYGDALIN. At least once, conventional chemotherapy was administered to 21 patients simultaneously with AMYGDALIN. The findings in these last patients will be included in another study.

The distribution of the patients according to histological type, extension of the illness and functional capacity are reported in Chart 6.

Objective Responses: Fifteen patients (5.83%) showed complete remission: nine of the squamous cell type, two anaplastic of small cells, two adenocarcinomas and two with carcinoma of large cells.

It should be mentioned that three of these patients with squamous cell carcinoma, one anaplastic of small cells and one with carcinoma of large cells had received other conventional treatments prior to AMYGDALIN, which was felt to contribute definitively to the response obtained (‌)."

close to their growing period as we can possibly obtain them.

There are laetrile therapists who recommend two or three grams of ascorbic acid or Vitamin C in conjunction with the Laetrile program. This is a very moderate recommendation and we can all take up to seven or eight grams of Vitamin C without any problems. This is about the same amount as the higher primates such as the gorilla on a pound to pound basis ingest between five to six grams of Vitamin C a day in their normal habitat. Incidentally, the gorilla in its natural habitat eats about 100 to 125 milligrams of Vitamin B17 a day, too. Like the population of Hunzaland, these gorillas are free of cancer, so are bears in their normal habitat. out in the wilds they don't develop cancer.

In the San Diego Zoo there was a cage of about ten bears and out of the ten, seven of them developed cancer. To some this was a sign that some mysterious bear cancer virus was loose. But, it wasn't that at all. In the wild state the bears are omnivores and they eat a lot of wild nitrilosidic berries. Almost all wild fruits are nitrilosidic.

maturity as organisms about 8,000 or 9,000 years ago the world witnessed the advent of agriculture and horticulture came a little later. The millions of years prior to that time we ate the cherries, apricots, apples, prunes and the rest of the fruits. They had Vitamin B17 not only within the seeds, but in the flesh, too. Today only wild fruit contain the Vitamin B17, but in the process of hybridization it has been removed.

The fruit that we eat today is the product of years of manipulation and cultivation for lushness and abundance and so forth, so the meat to that fruit is free of Vitamin B17. To meet our indwelling needs of Vitamin B17 we must either eat the fruit seed in reasonable quantity or begin supplementing our diet with Vitamin B17 tablets. We can't of course, do that at present, but we hope to see before very long Vitamin B17 available so that we can prevent cancer in the same way we prevent scurvy.

"Toxicity: There was no evidence of chronic or acute toxicity attributable to the use of AMYGDALIN in any of the patients exposed to the dosages employed in this study. No patient suspended AMYGDALIN because of undesirable effects.

Discussion: So far as we know, this is the first strictly prospective and nonselective study performed on patients with malignant neoplasms, using AMYGDALIN as the only systemic antitumoral agent. This should be considered a Phase II study because of the use of historic controls for comparative analysis. Even so, the following valid conclusions can be drawn: 1. AMYGDALIN is capable of producing objective responses in patients with inoperable lung cancer who are not candidates for conventional therapy.

2. In these patients AMYGDALIN offers an average survival greater than that reported with the ma jority of the treatments currently In use.

3. AMYGDALIN offers a survival of twelve months, greater than that reported by the majority of the treatments currently in vogue, and at least equal to that of the best conventional treatments from the initial dose of AMYGDALIN. 4. AMYGDALIN is non- toxic when used in therapeutic dosages, under medical supervision and does not interfere with the use of other palliative treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. (‌)."

We have many case histories of people that have been helped by Laetrile. Both Alicia Buttons and Mary Henderson were terminal with oral pharyngeal cancer that has a mortality rate of 98- 99 percent even in early diagnosis. Both made remarkable recoveries with Laetrile under the guidance of Dr. Hans Nieper in Germany. You know we have been meeting ten or eleven years and you've been hearing this story. Each time after the meeting you had 360 days to go home and read newspapers, American Cancer Society Boiler Plate and so forth. In those ten years they haven't told you anything against Laetrile that makes any sense. You can be pretty sure they don't have anything against Laetrile because these people are very uninhibited and the area in which they are most uninhibited is in the area of simple lying. If you have any questions about Laetrile, the more critical the better because we are dealing with solid science.

AMYGDALIN subjectively improves the patients even in extensive stages of disease, clearly di minished functional capacity and unfavorable histology.

Since it is certain that the best results were found in patients with carcinoma of the large cells, it is not yet possible to draw definitive conclusions due to the small number of patients with this histologic type of lung cancer in the study.

On the other hand, it is very interesting to make note that in 54 patients with anaplastic carcinoma of the small cells, two complete remissions were reported, four partial remisions and three stabilizations with a duration of six months or more; survival to twelve months for 46.29%, from the date of diagnosis and 25.9% from the initial use of AMYGDALIN, and a median survival of 45.5 weeks, from the date of diagnosis and 26 weeks from the initial use of AMYGDALIN. All these results are better than those reported in other studies, even with programs of polychemo therapy with illness above 30% and mortality between 34% We believe, then, that even accepting that this study has faults and deficiencies, it Is sufficient to justify the continuation of Phase III studies with stricter criteria than in medical institutions of renowned prestige and experience and that we continue to follow the patients in this study to the end of reporting long- term survivals in subsequent papers (‌)."

(...) My entire professional life- and that "life" began in 1949- has revolved around the study of illness.

I've always felt there must be a reason why we're still faced with such things as "incurable diseases". After all, we have scientific minds capable of putting men on the moon... yet we haven't even begun to control these horrible maladies. Why? My work has been dedicated to answering this question and - over the years- I've developed a kind of philosophy, based upon two beliefs, that has guided my research.

"In a clinical study done at Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University, Tsushima, Okayama, Japan the apricot seeds did show promise in fighting tumor cells." http://www.ageless.co.za/ 497 "During a study in 2008 at the College of Oriental Medicine and Department of Life and Nanopharmaceutical Sciences and Department of Pharmaceutical Science, Kyung Hee University, Seoul, Korea, the researchers found that apricot kernel has value in killing tumor cells." http://www.ageless.co.za/ 497 A study by researchers of the Acupuncture and Meridian Science Research Center, Department of Meridian and Acupuncture, College of Oriental Medicine, and Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, Kyung- Hee University, Seoul, Korea and the Department of Integrative Medicine, Catholic University, Seoul, Korea found that apricot kernels have value in treating pain associated with arthritis and reducing inflammation as well as reducing the formation of arthritis – although we must state that this study was done on rats. http://www.ageless.co.za/ 497

The first of these points, put simply, is, "DON'T FOOL WITH NATURE", because- as soon as you upset the natural balance of the body- you set yourself up for some serious consequences. This view led me to think that perhaps many of the so called "metabolic diseases" were really only the result of a nutritional imbalance.

The other point in my "system" is the belief that we often can't find a cure for an illness because we don't know its cause . . . and we're ignorant of these causes, I think, because MOST MEDICAL RESEARCH has gone in the wrong directions (...).

Most of the researchers who've studied these incurable diseases have spent their time searching for bugs, bacteria, and viruses . . . since microorganisms are known to cause many other diseases. Well, the best microbiologists in the country have been working on this problem for fifty or sixty years and nobody has yet found a micro- organism that causes the metabolic diseases. You'd think people would begin to wonder whether or not the "bugs" are there at all.

Now- because I often haven't been satisfied with the popular answers - my studies have always been somewhat off the beaten track. When cortisone first came out, for instance- back around 1948 - it was touted as the "wonder drug of the century" because it was going Reference: Dr. Harold W.

to cure arthritis and rheumatism. Well, people did take cortisone and- sure enough- they did get rid of their arthritic pain... but - in some cases - they also developed peptic ulcers, moon face, and had all sorts of sodium changes in their bodies.

So, in 1949, I started to research the risks involved in the indiscriminate use of cortisone... and my group was funded immediately by the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation, which wanted to know why these drastic side effects were beginning to show up. And we demonstratedin our work with animals- that parts of the body would actually rot off when given excessive amounts of cortisone.

We spent five or six years on that research, and later worked with varicose veins and other disorders.

Eventually I got involved in the study of pollution.

So many of the things that we drink and eat and breathe today, as I'm sure you're aware, are ABSOLUTELY UNNATURAL ‌ and man is either inadvertently or purposely- RESPONSIBLE for most of these pollutants. I object, for example, to the government's telling me that I have to take a spoonful of fluoride every morning. But I don't have any choice.

And, although this recent work has been given the name "laetrile research"- the local papers, for instance, call me "the folk hero of laetrile research" or something like thatthe label is unfair and inaccurate. Because our experiments have involved many things other than laetrile, which is also called vitamin B- 17 or amygdaline. We've done work with vitamin A, with vitamins C and B- 15, and with natural enzymes. But the press zeroes in on the lace- of course, because it's a word that sells newspapers.

Interview with Dr. Manner (The following information is excerpted from: Interview of Dr Manner by Acres USA, 8/8/1978, Laetrile, http://www.whale.to) 499

Acres USA: How long has your work with Laetrile being going on?

Dr. Manner: About 6 or 7 years.

Acres USA: Is this orthodox work?

Dr. Manner: I would say unorthodox because of my belief. I firmly believe that cancer to date is curable. And I further believe that cancer today is preventable. And that means it takes care of everyone one way or another. Those who have burning lumps—they have hope. Those who don't have them, there is even greater hope they can be prevented.

Acres USA: You realize, of course, that these are strong statements. Can we explore the basis for what you are saying. When did you first become involved with cancer research at Loyola University?

Dr. Manner: I went there in 1972 without any idea that I was going to be working in cancer. By training I am a developmental biologist. This means that anything that has to do with development of cells, normal or abnormal, falls into my province. As you know Loyola is located in Chicago, next to Lake Michigan. I was concerned at that time with pollution of the Great Lakes. I wanted to test the effect of various pollutants on developing fish embryos because these tissues are very susceptible.

It was while I was working in this area that I began to realize most pollutants are carcinogenic. So my library work turned to carcinogens, which was how I came upon a paper back called World Without Cancer. I read the book and nearly laughed out loud. To think that anyone could postulate anything as simple as the laetrile hypothesis developed by Ernst Krebs and his son. How could they develop anything quite so simple for something I considered so very complex as cancer itself?

So I put the book away vowing never to take it out again.

Reference: Interview of Dr Manner by Acres USA, 8/8/1978, Laetrile, http://www.whale.to

108

Acres USA: Yet it didn't go away?

Dr. Manner: No. There was just enough of a ring of truth to what was said. So, I talked to my graduate students and said—let's get off pollution work for a little while, and let's take this theory and let's subject it to laboratory analysis. That was the first time that I realized I was about to enter something far different than anything I had ever encountered in my 30 years of research work.

Acres USA: How would you characterize that difference?

Dr. Manner: Well it was not in any way scientific. I saw charges and more charges.....charges that Laetrile was worthless. That it was a panacea. The interesting thing is that most of the reading came from editorials, in newspapers, or paperbacks, and there was very little documentation of scientific evidence. I also realized I was entering something strange when I stated calling some of my friends who were involved in similar areas, and the conversation would be nice, until I mentioned Laetrile. I almost got complete silence, and then an invitation to meet them someplace. I tell you I have met more people in more parked cars and basements of health food stores than I thought I would ever meet in my life.

Acres USA: This was your baptism into the laetrile climate?

Dr. Manner: It certainly was. But something else was interesting. I knew the research would cost money, and I couldn't go to government or the pro- laetrile forces as there would be strings attached. I went to the administrator at Loyola University which is a Jesuit school and they managed to provide the money and support my work.

Acres USA: You then encountered no difficulty in doing this work?

Dr. Manner: Not exactly "no difficulty". Let me explain just one thing. It has a bearing on the rest of my work. I hold what is called a hard drug or controlled substance license from the state of Illinois....which controls such things as morphine, cocaine, and so on. I also hold the same hard drug license from the US government. I hold the only key to the Loyola hard drug locker. This

means my credentials, and background have been investigated. I have never had any trouble in my entire life ordering any drug, any pharmaceutical from any place anywhere in the world until I tried to order the extract of an apricot pit.

Acres USA: And you had to get it if work was to proceed?

Dr. Manner: Of course. And please remember that I was not pro- laetrile or anti- laetrile. A scientist has no business being for or against anything. His only business is to be objective, but you need the laetrile....or amygdalin which is the correct name for this substance.

Acres USA: This is available through the usual suppliers you use?

Dr. Manner: Yes. One of the companies I do a great deal of business with is Sigma, and right on the pages of their catalogue is amygdalin....50 gms for $90. I wrote out my order, and the school forwarded it to Sigma. Usually in 3 or 4 days I get my shipment. Well, two weeks went by. So I got on the phone....they said we can't ship it....the FDA requires an affidavit.......they want you to state that if we sell it to you that you will promise that you will not use it on any human being. I said you know I am a research biologist, not an MD, and I never use anything in my lab on human beings...so I prepared a good affidavit...

Acres USA: Was this satisfactory to the FDA? Dr. Manner: Yes to some extent. I sent this off and got my first bottle of amygdalin.

Acres USA: What is the scope of your work?

Dr. Manner: I have a very big lab running 2,000 to 3,000 mice at any one time. So I use it very fast.

Acres USA: Did you have problems reordering?

Dr. Manner: Well, they wanted an affidavit on every order! So I Xeroxed a few hundred of these affidavits, and they go from my secretary’s desk to the files of Sigma

Reference: Interview of Dr Manner by Acres USA, 8/8/1978, Laetrile, http://www.whale.to

110

About 6 months ago they then wanted 2 affidavits. One that I would not use it on humans, and another that I would not use it on any other animals other than my own. They had heard that vets were getting good results from Laetrile, and they didn’t want me to be a fence for hot laetrile.

Acres USA: How did you test the basic hypothesis of Ernst Krebs, Jr? Dr. Manner: He suggested that laetrile when injected......because it contains deadly cyanide......circulates around the body until it comes into contact with an enzyme that is capable of releasing that cyanide. As the theory goes, the enzyme that releases it is found in the tumor tissue.

But then the cyanide could escape the area of the tumor and get into the general circulatory system, which might be dangerous to the body, so there is another enzyme in all normal tissue called rhodenese, and this neutralizes the cyanide which is then excreted in the urine. It looks very good on paper.

Acres USA: And you decided to test it scientifically?

Dr. Manner: Yes. The first thing we wanted to do was check out the enzymes. Are they really where Krebs suggested they were? In general they were. There were a few changes in that we found there was quite a bit in the liver...but in general the highest tissue containing the unlocking enzyme was the tumor tissue itself. Other tissues were very low in it. The second thing we wanted to see was whether or not the material broke down as suggested. So what we did was we injected laetrile into the animals and then we collected their urine for 24 hours looking for the end product—sodium thiocyanate—and hippuric acid, two of the neutralized end products of laetrile.

It was there. As we increased the dosage of laetrile we also got an increase of these compounds in the urine. All this was reported in the scientific journals.

One of the charges being made at that time...and because the FDA’s back is against the wall, they’re starting to reinstitute those charges...is that laetrile is poisonous. Just a few weeks ago a Dr Lewis...said something about eating lettuce with laetrile pills was liable to cause all kinds of problems. My phone rang off the wall due to this....It was a scare tactic. I object to that coming from the government of the US. I object to that poster hanging in post offices and in doctors offices

Reference: Interview of Dr Manner by Acres USA, 8/8/1978, Laetrile, http://www.whale.to

111

Laetrile Warning. I’ve challenged the FDA on national TV—that every one of those statements is not just a half truth, but a DOWNRIGHT LIE, and they know it. And they are just making an attempt to re- scare the American people.

Acres USA: What about the little girl story allegedly killed by laetrile poisoning?

Dr. Manner: Yes, I was lecturing in Buffalo, New York, and a man stood up and asked how I can make strong statements about laetrile when the FDA is making the opposite statements? And how he would have to take theirs...look at that little girl....who died after taking her fathers laetrile tablets.

Just then a lady stood up and said...I think I am entitled to answer that question as I am that little baby's mother. She told the true story, which was that the baby never touched her father's tablets.

The doctor...knowing the father was on laetrile...marked down possible cyanide poisoning. At the hospital they used a cyanide antidote, and it was the antidote that killed the child. And yet that statement will continue to appear even though they know it is a lie.

Acres USA: In regard to this alleged toxicity, what have been your findings?

Dr. Manner: We ran the tests. We started injecting animals with laetrile. We started with dosages that were very small and ended up with dosages 10 times the maximum dose ever given to any human being in any clinic in the world. After a 4 week period of daily injections, not one of the animals was dead. Not one was sick. In fact, everyone looked much better than the controls- - hair shiny, eyes glistening, and this was understandable because what we were giving them was not a drug but a natural food product, what Dr Dean Burke called vitamin B17.

Acres USA: You have appeared on platforms opposite FDA spokesman. Why would a scientist refuse to consider your valid scientific evidence?

Dr. Manner: I can only speculate on this point....at every meeting I was opposite an FDA representative, Dr Young.....this time it was different as we had finished the toxicity studies. We had shown it to be non- toxic. This was published and sent to the National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Reference: Interview of Dr Manner by Acres USA, 8/8/1978, Laetrile, http://www.whale.to

112

and to Sloane Kettering. Then at the next legislature meeting I heard Dr Young say to the senators, "Gentlemen, the FDA cannot support the use of laetrile because it is an unsafe substance." I looked at him and said how can you say that? You have my report that it is non- toxic. Oh, I didn't say it was toxic, I said it was unsafe. So you see they are changing the definition. He said "We mean by unsafe that if a person uses it they might not use orthodox therapy", and so for this reason the FDA considers it unsafe.

Acres USA: Of course you can't argue with that kind of double- think by using science. Still, it is difficult for us to believe many fine scientists at Sloane Kettering and NCI would be a party to this.

Dr. Manner: This bothered us to...I know many of them... fine scientists. I knew the FDA was constantly saying the results were negative. And this bothered me. Everything we had done said it should work. But here were these people- - - good qualified scientists....repeating over and over again, No it doesn't work. Sometimes in science you have to slow down.

Acres USA: Did you abandon the experiments?

Dr. Manner: No. We decided to repeat what we had done, using their animals and their tumors, the laetrile and the doses they used, we repeated the experiments. And when we were done....and I don't know why it surprised me...we found exactly the same thing they had found....that laetrile when used in the experiments that were done by Sloane Kettering and NCI...was worthless.

Acres USA: Yet this was not the position you ultimately took?

Dr. Manner: Well, not a position- - it was something that threw us back in our lab. Now the situation was worse than ever. I had on the one hand data that said it should work, and on the other hand I had my own data that said it doesn't work. I suppose we could have quit at that time and joined the public pronouncements that laetrile didn't work, and it might have been the final nail in the laetrile coffin.

Reference: Interview of Dr Manner by Acres USA, 8/8/1978, Laetrile, http://www.whale.to

113

Acres USA: What did you do then?

Dr. Manner: We stopped and talked about it for several weeks. Two things emerged. One, there was the type of tumor we were using. We would buy the mice from Jackson laboratory up in Maine. These were healthy mice. They dined on Purina Lab- Chow formulated by nutritionists. I'm convinced if the American public ate like my mice we would have far less disease in this country.

Anyway, these mice came to our lab in perfect condition. Then I ordered a couple of mice with a tumor. I'd take that tumor out of those mice, put them in a little glass jar and break the tumor into free cells- - - then take a hypodermic needle with about a million of those cells and inject it directly into the animal's body, and they multiply. Within about 18 days they die of the tumor. So I submit to you that a human being does not get cancer that way. You don't go to a doctor and say "doctor I feel terrific", and he says, "I'll take care of that" and gives you a shot of something so you get cancer. No way does that happen. This is a transplanted tumor. This was the type of tumor we used, also Sloane Kettering and NCI. Acres USA: Were you able to get enough mice with built in tumors?

Dr. Manner: As it happened, Jackson Lab had a mouse called the C.3H mice which has been bred to develop cancer in their later years (50- 55% of them), which is the way humans get it, over a period of time.... we kept them downstairs until we felt a tumor, and then, only then moved them to the experimental lab. We used no carcinogens, no cancer cells; just whatever was happening in that animal's body to cause it to get cancer.

Acres USA: Did you make any attempt to use the laetrile regimen of doctors around the world who treat cancer with laetrile?

Dr. Manner: That was the next thing. I started to travel to learn something more about laetrile.

The only place I could really learn was in clinics where laetrile was actually being used, in California with Dr Richardson. Mexico with Dr Contreras and Dr Sotox, Jamaica with Drs Brown & Ransburger, Hanover with Dr Nieper. Each regime was a little different. But one thing was common of all of them- - and I don't know how this escaped me, and how it escaped MSK and

Reference: Interview of Dr Manner by Acres USA, 8/8/1978, Laetrile, http://www.whale.to

114

NCI...was that laetrile was never used by itself...always in conjunction with a complete therapeutic program. And here we were in the lab just using laetrile.

Acres USA: The single variable?

Dr. Manner: Yes. And this made it necessary for us to reformulate our experiments. Although the routine did differ from lab to lab. I found some things in common. All of course, used laetrile. All of them used various forms of enzymes. All of them used vitamin C and vitamin A. Acres USA: Did you duplicate these things in your studies?

Dr. Manner: Yes. We started a new series on breast cancers to try to determine whether or not laetrile was effective. It was the results of these experiments that they said dropped a bombshell on the scientific community. I shouldn't have because everything I was doing was relayed by the week to those other national labs if they wanted to follow along with me. We eliminated vitamin C, as it makes its own, unlike humans. That left us with laetrile, enzymes and vitamin A... We scaled them down to the size of a mouse—so for the purposes of what I am telling you here let me scale them back up again.

Acres USA: In terms of a human being?

Dr. Manner: Yes, in terms of a 60 kilo person... Laetrile was injected intramuscularly in the rump area every day...and we gave 9- 12 grams of laetrile. The vitamin A...we gave 1 million international units each and every day. Now I'm sure you will say "that sure is toxic" and you are right. It is toxic if it is used in the same form in which you normally see vitamin A. But we didn't use it that way. We had it made for us in Germany. One of the firms there manufactured a material called A- mulsion.

This is vitamin A that is highly emulsified, broken down into very fine little particles. It looks like a foam when you use it. When that's taken into the body, it plays tricks. Instead of going to normal channels and going up to the liver where vitamin A damage usual occurs, it goes into the lymphatic system, and this by- passes the liver, and therefore you don't have this toxic effect.

Reference: Interview of Dr Manner by Acres USA, 8/8/1978, Laetrile, http://www.whale.to

115

Acres USA: The enzymes?

Dr. Manner: They were not hard enzymes. And were from the lentil bean, the garden pea, the papaya plant, the thymus gland of the rat, and pancreatin from the beef pancreas. This mixture comes from Drs Wolf and Rasburger. It has been shown to have tremendous effect on the tumor.

Acres USA: What is the rationale behind each of these things?

Dr. Manner: The tumor as it grows does not belong in the body. I'm convinced that the normal state of the human body is health; it has enough within itself to bring it back to health. We see that in the tremendous surgery that is being done - - transplants. We read over and over however, that whenever a heart is put into a person, rejection takes place, it does not belong there, and the body knows it. So rejection takes place. I am convinced that a tumor does not belong in the body and the body should reject it.

Acres USA: Why does it not do this?

Dr. Manner: As a tumor grows it develops around itself a layer of protein which is almost like a plastic bubble. And that thing around a tumor prevents it from being recognised as a foreign invader. So what our enzymes do is not dissolve that tumor, but that protein around the outside.

When this is done the body knows it shouldn't be there, and it recognizes it. And the immune system takes over. But usually the immune system at that time is very weak. This is well documented.

Acres USA: What happens when the protein is fully peeled off that tumor?

Dr. Manner: That is when laetrile goes to work. It releases its deadly cyanide and goes to work on those cells.

Acres USA: How did the animal experiments prove this out?

Dr. Manner: We used 105 animals in one test. They were broken down into 2 groups. The first was the experimental group. There were 84 animals, 84 that had developed breast cancer. They

Reference: Interview of Dr Manner by Acres USA, 8/8/1978, Laetrile, http://www.whale.to

116

were the control group. They received injections and oral ingestion’s of physiological saline solution, the normal body fluids. Just to make sure it wasn't the injection or the fluid we were giving. The other animals received the laetrile, the vitamin A and the enzyme. The enzyme was specifically made so that I could inject it near and around the tumor site itself in order to get rid of the protein layer.

Acres USA: The results?

Dr. Manner: Absolutely fantastic. They have been repeated a number of times and people who have been skeptical...who have been to the lab...are seeing it happen. These experiments are still going on. At the end of a 4 to 6 week period...and there was a spread in time...we got some real results. At the end of the second enzyme injection a small pimple appeared at the site of the tumor.

It looked like a whitehead, or a boil. After the next injection that whitehead would burst open, and a white pus came out. We took that white pus and put it on a microscope slide and bought it to the pathology lab of the American International Hospital, which works with me....they were dead cancer cells. As we continued the treatments, the pus moved out. As it moved out the tumors got smaller and smaller. At the end of 4- 6 weeks in 90% of the animals, the tumors were completely gone. And those animals were taken to the hospital, and autopsied and given a completely clean bill of health. Not a cancer cell anywhere. the other 10% were also affected. At the close of this particular experiment they were in a partial stage of regression.

Acres USA: Have you taken this story to the general public?

Dr. Manner: I presented the general story together with slide pictures before over 2000 people in Chicago. It was the annual meeting of the National Health Federation. The next day instead of the AMA at least saying "Well we might have something here" they came out with a blast that went nationwide. The blast had nothing to do with what I was doing or the results achieved. They simply condemned for presenting my material in the wrong place.

Reference: Interview of Dr Manner by Acres USA, 8/8/1978, Laetrile, http://www.whale.to

117

Acres USA: What did they want you to do?

Dr. Manner: Take it through the normal scientific channels, but I had a special reason for not doing so this time. I'm not playing games with cancer. This would have taken 18 months to 2 years to clear the various journal editors. For a lab to pick it up and repeat it would take another 2 years. That's 4- 5 years. A cancer patient doesn't have 5 years. If I were to do again I would do it exactly as I have done, in spite of the ACS. Acres USA: Yes, but can you take it further than this?

Dr. Manner: By myself, no. But people can. And they have in a number of ways. One thing that happened that has never happened to me in my life is what we call the "widows mite". I would start getting checks across my desk...$5...$10... saying here is some money to support your research. We set up a fund called the Manner Research Fund... and received over $60,000 since July last year.

Biotic Lab in Texas has supported us. The Food Science Lab as well. The key to the whole thing is that with that support our lab can remain free with allegiance only to the people of the US. And don't think that does not bother those agencies that wish they could pull their funds from under me.

Acres USA: But that's still animal research. How can this be taken to the patient with cancer?

Dr. Manner: Well, for one thing women who have been in the audience have been sitting there with something burning in their breasts. They have gone to their doctors and they have said "before we take it off I'd like to try this Manner technique". I can assure you I have had phone calls from more irate surgeons in this country than you can believe.

Acres USA: How do they come on?

Dr. Manner: Usually they indicate to me in no uncertain terms that they don't believe a word of what I am saying. But at the insistence of the patients they'll try it. And then they ask me how it works.

Reference: Interview of Dr Manner by Acres USA, 8/8/1978, Laetrile, http://www.whale.to

118

Acres USA: Do you charge for this service?

Dr. Manner: Only one thing. I ask for and am beginning to get the complete reports from these physicians concerning their patients; patients starting with a complete biopsy showing malignancy with a prognosis of radical mastectomy; with a subsequent refusal of the patient to endure that surgery; hospital records showing the administration of laetrile, vitamin A and the enzyme; and then at the end, a complete clean bill of health. In consulting with these doctors I have indicated to everyone that I will not charge, but I want the records.

Acres USA: Then there is a cure?

Dr. Manner: From any other source I would consider that a trick question. The definition of a cure is a 5 year period with no re- occurrence. I can't say that those women will not get a reoccurrence within a 5 year period. They will have to wait. I can tell you one thing, while they're waiting those 5 years, they will be waiting with hope.

Death Rides a Slow Bus in Hunza by Jane Kinderlehrer (The following information was excerpted from: Death Rides a Slow Bus in Hunza by Jane Kinderlehrer, Copyright www.worldwithoutcancer.com All rights Reserved, Excerpted from: http://www.alkalizeforhealth.net)

How would you like to live in a land where cancer has not yet been invented? A land where an optometrist discovers to his amazement that everyone has perfect 20- 20 vision? A land where cardiologists cannot find a single trace of coronary heart disease? How would you like to live in a land where no one ever gets ulcers, appendicitis or gout? A land where men of 80 and 90 father children, and there's nothing unusual about men and women enjoying vigorous life at the age of 100 or 120?

We see a lit of hands going up. Fine. But first, you have to answer a few more questions before setting out for a place called Hunza, a tiny country hidden in the mountain passes of northwest Pakistan.

Are you willing to live 20,000 feet up in the mountains, almost completely out of touch with the rest garden, while keeping your ears open for an impending avalanche? Are you prepared to give up not only every luxury of civilization, but even reading and writing?

We see a lot of hands going down. But if you want the benefits of the pure air that whips by the icy cathedrals of the Himalayan Mountains, the pure water that trickles down from glaciers formed at 25,000 feet, and the mental and spiritual peace that comes from living in a land where there is no crime, taxes, social striving or generation gaps, no banks or stores- in fact, - no moneywhere are you going to find it outside of Hunza?

But don't give up! Not yet, because there is still one more question to be answered. That is: are you prepared to eat the kind of food the Hunzas eat? If you are, then you can rightfully expect to give yourself at lease some measure of the SUPER HEALTH and RESISTANCE to degenerative disease which the Hunzakuts have enjoyed for 2,000 years.

What kind of exotic, ill- tasting grub do these Hunza people eat, you are wondering.

Strange as it may sound, virtually everything the Hunzakuts eat is delectable to the western palate, and is readily available in the United States- at least if you shopping horizons do not begin and end at the supermarket.

Not only is the Hunza diet not exotic, but there's really nothing terribly mysterious about its health- promoting qualities, Everything we know about food and health, gathered both from clinical studies and the observation of scientists who have traveled throughout the world observing dietary practices and their relationship to health, tells us that it is to be expected that the Hunza diet will go a long way towards improving the total health of anyone, anywhere. The Hunza story is only one of the more dramatic examples of the MIRACULOUS HEALTH produced by a diet of fresh, natural unprocessed and unadulterated food.

All systems "Go" At 20,000 Feet Maybe you're wondering: are the Hunzas really all that healthy? That was the question on the mind of cardiologists Dr. Paul D. White and Dr. Edward G. Toomey, who made the difficult trip up the mountain paths to Hunza, toting along with them a portable, battery- operated electrocardiograph. In the American Heart Journal for December, 1964, the doctors say they used the equipment to study 25 Hunza men, who were, "on fairly good evidence, between 90 and 110 years old." Blood pressure and cholesterol levels were also tested. He reported that not one of these men showed a single sign of coronary heart disease, high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

An optometrist, Dr. Allen E. Banik, also made the journey to Hunza to see for himself if the people were as healthy as they were reputed to be, and published his report in Hunza Land (Whitehorn Publishing Co., 1960). "It wasn't long before I discovered that everything that I had read about perpetual life and health in this tiny country is true, "Dr. Banik declared."I examined the eyes of some of Hunza's oldest citizens and found them to be perfect."

Beyond more freedom from disease, many observers have been startled by the positive side of Hunza health. Dr. Banik, for example, relates that "many Hunza people are so strong that in the winter they exercise by breaking holes in the ice- covered streams and take a swim down under the ice." Other interpit visitors who have been there report their amazement at seeing men 80,90,and 100 years old repairing the always- crumbling rocky roads, and lifting large stones and boulders to repair the retaining walls around their terrace gardens. The oldsters think nothing

of playing a competitive game of volleyball in the hot sun against men 50 years their junior, and even take part in wild games of polo that are so violent they would make an ice hockey fan shudder.

The ENERGY and ENDURANCE of the Hunzakuts can probably be credited as much to what they don't eat as what they do eat. First of all, they don't eat a great deal of anything. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that the average daily food intake for Americans of all ages amounts to 3,300 calories, with 100 grams of protein, 157 grams of fat and 380 grams of carbohydrates, In contrast, studies by Pakistani doctors show that adult males of Hunza consume a little more than 1.900 calories daily, with only 50 grams of protein, 36 grams of fat, and 354 grams of carbohydrates. Both the protein and fat are largely of vegetable origin (Dr. Alexander Leaf, National Geographic, January, 1973).

That amounts to just half the protein, one- third the fat, but about the same amount of carbohydrates that we Americans eat. Of course, the carbohydrate that the Hunzakuts eat is undefined or complex carbohydrate found in fruits, vegetables and grains, while we Americans largely eat our carbohydrates in the form of nutrition less white sugar and refined flour.

Needless to say, the Hunzakuts eat no processed food. Everything is as fresh as it can possibly be, and in its original unsalted state. The only "processing" consists of drying some fresh fruits in the sun, and making butter and cheese out of milk. No chemicals or artificial fertilizers are used in their gardens. In fact, it is against the law of Hunza to spray gardens with pesticides. Renee Taylor, in her book Hunza health secrets( Prentice- Hall 1964) says that the Mirror ruler of Hunza, was recently instructed by Pakistani authorities to spray the orchards of Hunza with pesticide, to protect them from an expected invasion of insects. But the Hunzas would have none of it. They refused to use the toxic pesticide, and instead sprayed their trees with a mixture of water and ashes, which adequately protected the trees without poisoning the fruit and the entire environment. In a word, the HUNZAS EAT AS THEY LIVE - ORGANICALLY.

Reference: Death Rides a Slow Bus in Hunza by Jane Kinderlehrer, Copyright worldwithoutcancer.com All rights Reserved, alkalizeforhealth.net

122

Apricots Are Hunza Gold Of all their organically- grown food, perhaps their favorite, and one of their dietary mainstays, is the apricot. Apricot orchards are seen everywhere in Hunza, and a family economic stability is measured by the number of trees they have under cultivation.

They eat their apricots fresh in season, and dry a great deal more in the sun for eating throughout the long cold winter. They puree the dried apricots and mix them with snow to make ice cream. Like their apricot jam, this ice cream needs no sugar because the apricots are so sweet naturally.

But that is only the beginning. The Hunzas cut the pits from the fruits, crack them, and remove the almond- like nuts. The women hand-grind these kernels with stone mortars, then squeeze the meal between a hand stone and a flat rock to express the oil. The oil is used in cooking, for fuel, as a salad dressing on fresh garden greens, and even as a facial lotion (Renee Taylor says Hunza women have beautiful complexions).

The Apricot Kernel Anti- Cancer Theory Do these kernels have important protective powers which in some way play an important role in the extraordinary health and longevity of the Hunza people? The evidence suggests they very well might.

Cancer and arthritis are both very rare among the Taos (New Mexico) Pueblo Indians. Their traditional beverages are made from the group kernels of cherries, peaches and apricots. Robert G. Houston told PREVENTION that he enjoyed this beverage when he was in New Mexico gathering material for a book dealing blender shakes based on an Indian recipe. Into a glass of milk or juice, he mixed a tablespoon of honey with freshly ground apricot kernels (1/4 of an ounce or two dozen kernels) which had been roasted for 10 minutes at 300. It is vitally impotent to roast the kernels first. Houston points out, "in order to insure safety when you are using the pits in such quantities." roasting destroys enzymes which could upset your stomach if you eat too many at one time. In any event the drink was so delicious that Houston kept having it daily. On the third day of drinking this concoction, Houston says that a funny thing happened. Two

little benign skin growths on his arm, which formerly were pink had turned brown. The next day, he noticed that the growths were black and shriveled. On the seventh morning, the smaller more recent growths had vanished completely and the larger one. about the size of a grain of rice, had simply fallen off.

Houston says that two of his friends have since tried the apricot shakes and report similar elimination of benign skin growths in one or two weeks. What is there in apricot pits that could produce this remarkable effect? some foods, especially the kernels of certain fruits and grains, contain elements known as the nitrilosides (also known as amygdalin or vitamin B 17) says Dr. Ernst T. Krebs, Jr., biochemist and co- discoverer of Laetrile, a controversial cancer treatment (Laetrile is the proprietary name for one nitriloside).Nitrilosides, says Dr. Krebs, are NONTOXIC WATER- SOLUBLE, accessory food factors found in abundance in the seeds of almost all fruits. They are also found in over 100 other plants. Wherever primitive people have been found to have EXCEPTIONAL HEALTH, with marked absence of malignant or degenerative disease, their diet has been shown to be high in the naturally occurring nitrilosides, Dr. Krebs maintains.

"These nitrilosides just might be to cancer what vitamin C is to scurvy, what niacin is to pellagra, what vitamin B12 and folic acid is to pernicious anemia," says Dr Krebs (Cancer News Journal, May/August, 1970).

There are other common foods (all seeds) which provide a goodly supply of this protective factor. Millet and buckwheat, both of which the Hunzakuts eat in abundance, are two. Lentils, Mung beans and alfalfa, when sprouted, provide 50 times more nitriloside than does the mature plant, Dr. Krebs points out. And the Hunzas, as you might expect, spout all of their seeds, as well as using them in other ways. Since other essential protective elements are increased in the sprouting of such seeds, young sprouts are excellent foods which give us more life- giving values than most of us realize.

„Dr. Binzel‘s work on Laetrile remains forgotten."

(~ 1970 AD) Philip E. Binzel, Jr., M.D. Nutshell: Advocate of Laetrile Books: "ALIVE AND WELL - One Doctor's Experience with Nutrition in the Treatment of Cancer Patients by Philip E. Binzel; Laetrile and the Life Saving Substance Called Cyanide by Philip Binzel, Jr., M.D. by Philip E. Binzel

Philip E. Binzel, Jr.,M.D. (1926 2003) was an early small- town doctor who treated hundreds of patients who had cancer.

(The following information was excerpted from: Alive And Well: One Doctor's Experience with Nutrition in the Treatment of Cancer Patients, a book by Philip E. Binzel, Jr., M.D., Source: www.whale.to) 501, 502

Philip E. Binzel, a native of Bowling Green, Kentucky, has been practicing medicine for over forty years. He is a graduate of the Medical School at St. Louis University in Missouri and did his internship at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1955 he entered Family Practice in Washington Court House, Ohio, where he currently resides.

In 1974 he began to investigate the role of nutrition in human disorders and came to the conclusion that this was an important field of knowledge. Cautiously, he began to incorporate that knowledge into his medical practice and, based on personal experience, developed a highly effective protocol for the treatment of a wide range of disorders, including cancer.

This led him into conflict with mainstream medicine which continues to remain oriented toward drugs, surgery, and radiation. He has been forced to fight for the right to practice medicine in accordance with his conscience. He has chosen to do what he FEELS IS BEST for his patients, regardless of pressure to conform to the narrow limits prescribed by orthodoxy.

Dr. Binzel is now officially retired but occasionally consults with patients and their physicians, usually without charging a fee for his service.

In 1994, P.E. Binzel published his results from treating cancer patients with Laetrile between 1974 and 1991. He used a combination of intravenous and oral Laetrile.

Intravenous doses started with 3 gms and worked up to 9 gms. After a period of months, oral Laetrile, 1 gm at bedtime, was begun in place of the injections.

Binzel also used various nutrient supplements and pancreatic enzymes, as well as a low animal- protein, no junk- food diet as part of his regimen. Out of a series of 180 patients with primary cancer (non- metastasized, confined to a single organ or tissue), 138 were still alive in 1991 when he compiled his treatment results. At that time, 58 of the patients had been followed for 2 to 4 years, while 80 had a medical followup from 5 to 18 years. Of the 42 patients who had died by 1991, 23 died from their cancers, 12 from unrelated causes, and 7 died of "cause unknown".

Among his metastatic cancer patients, 32 of 108 died from their disease, while 6 died of unrelated causes, and 9 died of "cause unknown". Of his 61 patients still alive in 1991, 30 had a follow- up between 2 and 4 years, while 31 had been followed for 5 to 18 years.

Binzel's results are IMPRESSIVE. Some of the individual patients discussed in his book were still alive (and well!) 15- 18 years after their initial Laetrile treatment. Binzel also notes that none of the cancer diagnoses were made by him (a small town, "family doctor") - all patients had diagnoses from other physicians. Many had already suffered the ravages of standard "cut- bum- and poison" (surgery/Xray/chemotherapy) medicine before being given up as hopeless cases by orthodox doctors (‌).

Dr. Binzel Protocol (The following information was excerpted from: Alive And Well: One Doctor's Experience with Nutrition in the Treatment of Cancer Patients, a book by Philip E. Binzel, Jr., M.D., Source: www.whale.to) 501, 502

My biggest problem [at first] was understanding nutrition. In four years of medical school, one year of internship and one year of Family Practice residency, I had not even one lecture on nutrition."

Studies seem to suggest that manganese, magnesium, selenium, Vitamin B, and Vitamin A help patients combat diseases better. The objective of the Binzel program is to increase the efficiency of the human immune system, and to discourage detrimental mechanisms from manifesting themselves.

The Binzel diet comprises fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, and vegetable proteins. The enzymes present in fresh non- citric fruits, such as apples, peaches and pears, and vegetables greatly contribute to good nutrition. Patients are urged to have lots of salads, fruits, whole grain foods like pasta and brown bread. The diet discourages sugar, fat, and anything that is animal or an animal by- product. This means abstinence from all kinds of meat, fish, eggs, and even dairy products, and stress is placed on a high fiber diet.

Dr. Binzel's patients included a long list afflicted with cancer of the breast, colon, urinary bladder, stomach, bone, ovary, lung, uterus, brain, and malignant lymphoma, lymphatic leukemia, and malignant melanoma. Most were in advanced stages of suffering, and had undergone extensive chemotherapy and radiation.

It has been reported that all his patients, who followed his nutritional therapy displayed remarkable improvement (‌).

"In my attempts to use nutritional therapy, which includes the use of Laetrile, in the treatment of cancer, I have often been confronted by the Food and Drug Administration and by the State Medical Board. I have fought and, through the grace of God, I have won."

The Total Nutritional Program I am going to outline, in generalities, the treatment that I use. For any individual reading this book who decides to treat himself with what follows, I say, "Please read the paragraph above again, and again and again!" If you think it is bad for a doctor to treat himself, how much worse is it for someone who knows little or nothing about medicine to try to treat himself? God did not make any two of us exactly alike, thus the exact treatment must be fitted to the needs of each patient.

The whole OBJECTIVE of this nutritional program is to do two things: 1. To put into the body the nutritional ingredients that the body needs in order to allow its immunological defense mechanisms to function normally, and 2. To take away from the body those things that are detrimental to the normal function of its immunological defense mechanisms.

There are three parts to this program: 1. Vitamins \ enzymes, 2. Nitrilosides, 3. Diet VITAMINS AND ENZYMES 1. Multiple vitamin — 1 twice daily times daily 2. Vitamin C 1 gram — 1 twice daily 6. Pro- A- Mulsion (25,000 I.U. Vitamin A 3. Vitamin E 400 units — 1 twice daily per drop) — 5 drops daily.

4. Megazyme Forte (a combination of Since vitamins are food, they should be trypsin, chymotrypsin, bromalin and zinc) taken with meals or immediately thereafter.

— 2 three times daily It is never a good idea to take any vitamin 5. Pangamic acid (BI5) 100 mg. — 1 three on an empty stomach.

128

NITRILOSIDES: In order to supply the necessary nitrilosides I use Amygdalin (Laetrile). Laetrile is available in 500 mg. tablets and in vials (10cc- 3 gms.) for intravenous use. I use both forms. The dosage that I use is as follows: The intravenous Laetrile is given three times weekly for three weeks with at least one day between injections (Mon., Wed., Fri.). The Laetrile is not diluted and is given by straight I.V. push over a period of one to two minutes depending on the amount given.

The dosage for the intravenous Laetrile is: 1 st dose 1 vial (10cc- 3 gms.)

2nd dose 2 vials (20cc- 6 gms.)

3rd dose 2 vials (20cc- 6 gms.)

4th through the 9th doses 3 vials (30cc- 9 gms.)

Following this first three weeks of I.V. injections, the patient then has one injection of 1 vial (10cc- 3 gms.) once weekly for three months. If the patient notices a considerable difference in the way he feels when the injections are reduced to once weekly, the injections are increased to two or three times a week for three weeks. The dose is then reduced again to once weekly. This is repeated as often as necessary until the patient notices no difference with the reduced dosage.

The oral Laetrile is given in a dosage of 1 gram (two 500 rag. tablets) daily on the days on which the patients do not receive the intravenous Laetrile. I have them take both tablets at the same time at bedtime on an empty stomach with water. The water is important because there are some enzymes in the fruits and vegetables and in their juices which will destroy part of the potency of the Laetrile tablets while they are in the stomach.

Once the stomach has emptied, this is no problem.

It should be noted that I do not start my patients on their Laetrile, either I.V. or orally, until the patients have been on their vitamins, enzymes and diet for a period of ten Reference: Alive And Well: One Doctor's Experience with Nutrition in the Treatment of Cancer Patients, by Philip E. Binzel, Jr., M.D

129

days to two weeks. I find that the Laetrile seems to have little or no effect until a sufficient quantity of other vitamins and minerals are in the body. Zinc, for example, is the transportation mechanism for the Laetrile. In the absence of sufficient quantities of zinc, the Laetrile does not get into the tissues. The body will not rebuild any tissue without sufficient quantities of Vitamin C, etc.

When I start the intravenous and oral dosages of Laetrile, I also begin to increase the amount of Vitamin C. I have my patients increase their Vitamin C by one gram every third day until they reach a level of at least six grams. In some patients I use more. I find that there are some patients who develop irritation of the stomach or diarrhea with the larger doses of Vitamin C. I find by increasing this by one gram every third day that, if these symptoms develop, I can reduce the Vitamin C to a level that causes no problem. I find that most of my patients tolerate the higher doses of Vitamin C very well.

On the days that my patients receive intravenous Laetrile I ask them not to take their Vitamin A. There have been some studies indicating that Vitamin A may interfere with the body's ability to metabolize intravenous Laetrile. This has not been fully proved, but I choose to have my patients not take their Vitamin A drops on the days on which they receive their intravenous Laetrile. Also, I tell my patients not to take the Laetrile tablets on the days that they receive their intravenous Laetrile. They have received intravenously as much Laetrile as the body can handle for that period of time. There are no ill effects from taking the tablets on those days, but the effect of the tablets is wasted.

The level of nitrilosides in the body can be monitored. When the body metabolizes nitrilosides, the by- product is thiocyanate. Thiocyanate levels in the blood can be measured. I find, in general, that the patients who do best are those in whom the thiocyanate level is between 1.2 and 2.5 Mg/DL. This level can be raised or lowered by increasing or decreasing the dosage of the Laetrile tablets.

Reference: Alive And Well: One Doctor's Experience with Nutrition in the Treatment of Cancer Patients, by Philip E. Binzel, Jr., M.D

130

I do not want to leave the impression that Laetrile is the only source of nitrilosides.

As stated in Chapter Two, there are some 1500 foods that contain nitrilosides. These include apricot kernels, peach kernels, grape seeds, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, bean sprouts, lima beans, and macadamia nuts. The advantage of using Laetrile in the cancer patient is that Laetrile is a concentrated form of nitrilosides. It can raise the nitriloside level in the body (and, thus, re- establish the body's second line of defense against cancer) much more rapidly than can be done by diet alone.

DIET The diet that I use on my patients can be summarized as follows: "If it is animal or if it comes from animal, you cannot have it. (As one patient said, "If it moves, I can't eat it.") If it is not animal or does not come from animal, you can have it, but you cannot cook it." I take away from my patients all meat, all poultry, all fish, all eggs, cheese, cottage cheese and milk.

The reason for such a diet goes back to Chapter Two. Remember, I said that Dr. Krebs et al. had found that the cancer cell had a protein lining (or covering), and that if the body dissolves that protein lining, it would kill the cancer cell. The dissolving of that protein lining, they said, is done by the enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin, which are secreted by the pancreas. It is important to understand that it takes large quantities of trypsin and chymotrypsin to digest animal protein. Thus, the cancer patient who is eating animal protein may be using up all, or almost all, of his trypsin and chymotrypsin for digestive purposes. This leaves none of these enzymes available to the rest of the body.

The patient would be on this diet for a minimum of four months. In that period of time, I was attempting to free the trypsin and the chymotrypsin from being used up for

Reference: Alive And Well: One Doctor's Experience with Nutrition in the Treatment of Cancer Patients, by Philip E. Binzel, Jr., M.D

131

digestive purposes and to put these enzymes back into the body in order to restore the body's first line of defense against cancer.

The reason for the fresh fruits and fresh vegetables is, again, because of enzymes. There are some enzymes in fresh fruits and vegetables which are tremendously important in good nutrition. Any temperature over 130 degrees will destroy the enzymes in the fruits and vegetables. For this reason, the fruits and vegetables may not be cooked, canned or bottled. Frozen foods from the grocery store are also prohibited because most of these frozen foods have been processed in some manner.

They have either been blanched, pasteurized or sterilized so that the enzymes have been destroyed. Those who do their own home freezing are permitted to do so as long as they do not blanch the foods before they are frozen.

This means a diet that is high in salads. Salad dressings are permitted as long as the salad dressings do not contain anything which the patient may not have. Salad dressings which contain egg or sugar are not permitted. I find that many of my patients soon begin to make their own salad dressings. This is fine as long as they start with a pure vegetable oil and use no refined sugar. I do not attempt to severely limit the salt intake of my patients unless they have a medical problem which requires it. I tell them that salt may be used in moderation, but any salt that is used should be sea salt. The mineral content of sea salt is far superior to mineral content of the salt we normally use. Iodized sea salt is fine, if they need it. I encourage them to use a variety of other herbs and spices in order to vary the salad dressings so they are not eating the same thing over and over again.

The patients are not permitted anything which contains white flour or white sugar.

Whole wheat flour can be used instead of white flour. In the place of sugar they can use either honey or molasses. Foods containing preservatives are kept to an absolute minimum.

Reference: Alive And Well: One Doctor's Experience with Nutrition in the Treatment of Cancer Patients, by Philip E. Binzel, Jr., M.D

132

The patients are encouraged to have as wide a variety of vegetables as possible. I realize that all vegetables are somewhat similar, but each vegetable, in its own way, supplies something nutrition- wise that no other vegetable has. My patients are encouraged to have, within any two- week period of time, at least some of every vegetable available at that season.

My patients are encouraged to have as wide a variety of fruits as possible, except for the citrus fruits. Oranges, lemons, grapefruit and tomatoes (Yes, tomatoes are a citrus fruit.) are not to be more than ten percent of their fruit intake. Other fruits such as apples, peaches, and pears contain far more nutrition than do the citrus fruits. My patients are also told that, except for the citrus fruits, they should eat the seeds of their fruits. Apple seeds, grape seeds, apricot kernels, peach kernels, etc. have a high nitriloside content.

With the combined fruits and vegetables, I like for my patients to have about sixty percent vegetables and about forty percent fruits. I do not require that they weigh and measure their fruits and vegetables, but ask only that they keep the vegetable intake a little higher than the fruit intake.

Protein in the diet is, of course, very necessary. However, rather than using animal protein, I use vegetable protein. Vegetable protein requires nothing in the way of the enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin for digestion. The things that they use for their protein content can be cooked. You do not alter or harm a vegetable protein by cooking it.

The things I recommended for protein are as follows: Whole Grains: It is important that the patients read the ingredients on the labels of everything they buy. Everything labeled "Whole Wheat Bread" is not necessarily whole grain. Many of these breads contain only a small amount of whole grain and contain a large amount of white flour, white sugar and preservatives.

Reference: Alive And Well: One Doctor's Experience with Nutrition in the Treatment of Cancer Patients, by Philip E. Binzel, Jr., M.D

133

Whole grain cereals are permissible as long as they do not contain sugar. Most of these do contain some preservatives, but the amount is usually quite small. I do allow my patients to use some low fat milk or skim milk on their cereal. Whole wheat macaroni, noodles, spaghetti, etc. are also readily available and are good sources of protein.

Corn: This is an excellent source of protein. My patients are permitted to have corn- on- the- cob (which may be cooked), pop corn and corn meal in any form. Corn meal mush, grits and cornbread are permitted. It is necessary, in order to make cornbread, to use some egg and some milk. This is not a problem because the amounts of the egg and milk are quite small.

Buckwheat: This is high in protein. Buckwheat pancakes and pure maple syrup are excellent. Again, in order to make the buckwheat pancakes, you must use a little egg and milk. This is not a sufficient amount to cause a problem.

Butter: Butter in small amounts is permitted. Any butter that is used should be real butter rather than any margarine. Vegetable oil hardened into a solid is detrimental to good nutrition.

Nuts: These are an excellent source of protein. This includes all nuts except the peanut. Roasted peanuts are not permitted because of an acid that is formed in the roasting.

This is not true of any other nuts. Raw peanuts are permitted, but not roasted peanuts.

Dried Fruits: Dried fruits, such as dates, raisins, and figs, are excellent nutrition and provide protein.

Beans: Some vegetables, such as those in the bean family and in the brown rice family, cannot be eaten raw. Soup beans, lentils, split- pea, navy beans and kidney beans, are an excellent source of protein and should be an important part of this diet. Of course, they have to be cooked. Again, I repeat that anything used for its protein content may be cooked. Meals like bean soup and cornbread provide a complete protein, as would a meal of beans and brown rice.

Reference: Alive And Well: One Doctor's Experience with Nutrition in the Treatment of Cancer Patients, by Philip E. Binzel, Jr., M.D

134

Let me emphasize, again, the necessity of eating raw fruits and raw vegetables.

Everything that can be eaten raw should be eaten raw. So many of the things we cook can be eaten raw. For example, broccoli, spinach, turnips, potatoes, and green beans can all be eaten raw.

Beverages: No milk, other than that used on cereal and in cooking, is permitted. No caffeine is permitted. This means no coffee, no Sanka, no Decaf, etc. Natural coffee substitutes are permitted along with any of the herb teas.

I keep my patients on this type of program for at least four months. It is my opinion, in twenty years of work in this field that it takes that long to get this defense mechanism to function normally. If, at the end of the first four months, the patient is not doing as well as I would like, I CONTINUE THE STRICT DIET for as long as necessary. At the end of four months, if the patient is doing well, I then liberalize the diet.

I will then allow the patient to add chicken, turkey and fish to his diet. Ninety percent of the diet at that time consists of the original strict diet plus the chicken, turkey and fish. The other ten percent of the diet may include red meats, cooked vegetables and dairy products.

I caution my patients that, within any two- weeks period of time, the red meats, cooked vegetables and dairy products should never exceed more than ten percent of their total diet.

The patients are told that they also must stay on their vitamins, enzymes and Laetrile until the age of 130. They are instructed to call me on their 130th birthday (although I am not sure what my area code will be at that time), and we will discuss the possibility of reducing the dosage of some of these. This is simply my way of emphasizing to the patient the fact that you don't cure cancer. You can control it as long as the defense mechanisms continue to function normally. If a patient goes back to his old eating habits, he will soon be back in trouble again.

"What would a doctor, that specializes in oncology would do if they had cancer? I met the son of one of our patients that came to us after his mother was failing to chemotherapy.

He was in the hospital with his mother.

He was a reporter. And he was there, taking a nap on that area where the family members can be.

It was late at night, and he was almost drowsing when he overheared the conversation of two doctors that were outside of the door that didn’t know he was there. The doctors were mentioning some of those cases and one of them said ‘Man… if I had that I would never get myself chemotherapy.’

That guy told me ‘That really struck me! My mom was is receiving chemotherapy and this oncologist says he would never touch it!’ So being a reporter he told me that he pulled a thousand charts from oncologists that died from cancer from around the United States, NONE OF THOSE TOOK CHEMOTHERAPY. I feel that is also why it is so important for us to continue with my dad’s legacy of loving your patient as yourself.

Because, that means that I would never give to a patient, what I wouldn’t be willing to give it to myself. So the very important things at the Oasis of Hope hostipal is that when we have a medical discussion, is that we are going to design programs for our patients, that we would take ourselves."

- Dr. Francisco Contreras from the Oasis of Hope 405

Dr. Ernesto Contreras, Sr. taught his medical staff to never prescribe cancer treatments that would destroy the patient’s QUALITY OF LIFE. He also insisted that Oasis of Hope physicians offer therapies that they would be willing to take themselves. The integration of conventional complementary therapies with emotional and spiritual counseling, along with his emphasis on the doctor- patient relationship are the principle reasons why more than 100,000 patients from 55 nations have come to Oasis of Hope for cancer treatment in the last 45 years.

Dr. Ernesto Contreras, Sr. believed that to be effective as a physician, one had to BLEND ART AND SCIENCE. When treating cancer patients, Dr. Ernesto Contreras looked beyond the obvious. He would find the root needs of his patients and develop personalized therapies to address the unique circumstances of each. His commitment to treat patients with PROFESSIONALISM, ETHICS and COMPASSION made him a beloved doctor. As a researcher, Dr. Ernesto Contreras, Sr. explored hundreds of types of cancer treatment in his constant quest to help his patients. His untiring determination inspired his staff and patients alike.

"Dr Francisco Contreras, M.D. is a highly trained cancer expert, who specialised in surgical oncology at the prestigious First University in Vienna, Austria. He heads up the Oasis of Hope Hospital in Mexico (www.oasisofhope.com) where conventional chemotherapy is offered as well as nutritional therapies, if it is deemed appropriate, especially lowdose chemotherapy that is delivered directly to the tumour.

Since 1963, 100,000 patients have been treated at the Oasis of Hope Hospital, including currently over 600 cancer patients a year. In 1981 they conducted a retrospective study to document the fiveyear survival rate of their cancer patients. It is important to note that 95% of these patients came to them with stage IV cancers after conventional therapy had failed to help them. They had been sent home to die.

At age 88, after 62 years of medical practice, Dr. Ernesto Contreras went on to be with the Lord. Two of his significant contributions to humanity were his model for alternative medicine and the development of a tremendous platform for the advancement of cancer research, treatment and control. The Oasis of Hope is home to the healing legacy of Dr. Ernesto Contreras, Sr. and the staff continues to use the Total Cancer Treatment Care Approach and develop effective protocols for comprehensive cancer treatment management.

The Treatment: Oasis of Hope practitioners are not satisfied with the traditional goal of oncology, which is tumor destruction. When reviewing cancer survival rates, it becomes apparent that focusing solely on tumor destruction is not enough. Our physicians take an aggressive and individualized approach to cancer treatment, combining the latest conventional and alternative cancer treatments. This approach gives people who are fighting cancer new options and hope.

The Oasis of Hope Hospital is committed to responding to each patient’s total needs: physical, emotional and spiritual. Patient care management, counseling, pastoral care, specialized support groups, education and social services are all considered integral components to the care that is provided.

"How amygdalin/laetrile(apricot kernel extract) works is well documented, although Cancer Research UK is ignorant on this matter.

The difference between chemotherapy drugs and laetrile is that chemotherapy drugs are toxic to all cells and often do damage to healthy cells and organs (for example causing Lydia Harding's kidneys to bleed) and knock the immune system out of action. In contrast, the laetrile is non- toxic, and under its generic name amygdalin, has been catalogued as such for over 100 years. It is only when the laetrile hits a cancer cell that the cyanide is released, because cancer cells have an enzyme (betaglucosidase) in them which does this, and this is not present in any quantity in healthy cells, which have a different enzyme (rhodenase) in them which breaks down the laetrile in a different way to provide nutrients for the healthy cell. So the cancer cell is killed by laetrile, while the healthy cell is nourished. It also produces a painkiller when it breaks down, which is another blessing for cancer patients. More information about this can be found in the book World Without Cancer by G. Edward Griffin (American Media, California 1997 2nd edition) pp8889, and also in Dr Francisco Contreras book The Hope of Living Cancer Free (Siloam, Florida 1999) p 130. The mechanism of action is also explained in the book The alternative cancer treatment guide

Since that time he has treated many thousands of cancer patients, most of whom are American citizens who have been denied the freedom to use Laetrile in their own country Dr. Contreras has summarized his experiences with vitamin therapy as follows: The palliative action [improving the comfort and well- being of the patient] is in about 60% of the cases.

Frequently, enough to be significant, I see arrest of the disease or even regression in some 15% (1) of the very advanced cases.

„Dr. Ross’ treatments with Potassium and dietary changes saved many lives."

Dr. Frederic William Forbes Ross, M.D. (?

1913) was a Medical Doctor of Edinburgh University, a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and a well known London surgeon.

With the beginning of the 20th century, X- rays and radium were added to surgery as leading methods of treating cancer. Due to inadequate shielding methods, many of the radiologists and their staff were burned and died of cancer, induced by the radiation.

Dr. Forbes, a London physician, blamed the everincreasing rate of cancer deaths on poor diet, the surgery, and radiation used to treat the disease. After studying the chemical functioning of the endocrine glands, the blood, and the overall nutritional requirements of the human system, Ross identified POTASSIUM SALTS as the key missing element which normal cells needed for healthful activity. He said these salts were being Reference: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA

processed out of the food offered to the public. The soil was depleted, and cooking only intensified the problem— since the potassium was thrown out in the cooking water.

Ross prescribed potassium citrate and phosphate as part of his treatment of cancer, along with a weekly dose of five grains of potassium iodide. As with the great majority of natural healers, Ross worked with the hopeless, inoperable, and those who had refused surgery or irradiation. Yet he was often remarkably successful. Ross prescribed potassium routinely to all his patients; and he declared that, over a 15- year period, none of his patients contracted cancer. Instead of cutting out the cancer, Ross tried to improve the general well- being of the patient. Hair color returned, along with better looking skin. As the DIET IMPROVED, the tumor began to recede. He also noted that most cancer patients preferred rich, spicy foods; were primarily meat eaters; disliked vegetables; and rarely drank the water in which the vegetables were cooked.

"It [Potassium] is crucial for contraction of muscles, normal digestion and for a healthy heart. The Linus Pauling Institute states that your body requires 400 to 5,100 mg of potassium per day, depending on your age and overall health. Foods such as bananas, oranges, cantaloupes, tomatoes, lima beans and meat are good sources of the mineral (…).

A study published in the February 2005 issue of the journal "Lab Medicine" points out that abnormal potassium levels are common in cancer patients and can lead to serious complications, including diarrhea, vomiting, malnutrition and malabsorption syndromes. Dr. J. Robert Hatherill, author of the book "Eat to Beat Cancer," also states that eating high- potassium diets can decrease growth of tumors by regulating cell communication and preventing DNA damage." - Low Potassium & Cancer By Shamala Pulugurtha, 2011, LiveStrong.com 4 Potassium is a very important mineral to the human body. It has various roles in metabolism and body functions and is essential for the proper function of all cells, tissues, and organs:  It assists in the regulation of the acidbase balance. (note: Cancer thrives in an acidic environment, and can't live in an alkaline environment.)  It assists in protein synthesis from amino acids and in carbohydrate metabolism.  It is necessary for the building of muscle and for normal body growth and for the normal electrical activity of the heart.

George Earp- Thomas immigrated to the United States from New Zealand. Early in the 20th century, he bought a small farm in New Jersey. As a research scientist, he studied intestinal bacteria at the Pasteur Institute in France from 1910 to 1912. When he returned, he set up his own laboratory with the several strains of bacteria he brought with him. He was the first to work with acidophilus cultures to restore intestinal bacteria.

On his farm, he noticed one day that his cows had their necks through the fence and were straining to lick the recently graveled road. After analyzing the gravel, he realized his cows knew instinctively that they needed COBALT. Cobalt is a naturally magnetic element.

Electrolyte abnormalities associated with cancer: a review by Wakui A. "There are a variety of water and electrolyte disorders in patients with cancer. These disorders occur during the growth of tumors, generally as a consequence of inadequate intake and absorption of electrolytes, renal failure secondary to tumor or rapid tumor destruction and production of metabolically active substances by the tumor. In this paper, the electrolyte abnormalities associated with cancer were reviewed. Hyponatremia is one of the most common clinical electrolyte abnormalities in advanced cancer.

Some patients may have hyponatremia, in spite of increased total body sodium and absence of a defect in water diuresis. This status is designated as "sick cell syndrome" or "essential hyponatremia". In addition, the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) in association with various tumors has been described. This syndrome is principally due to water retention, but can also be due to continuous urinary loss of sodium, and hypo- osmolality.

Hypercalcemia is associated with coexistent primary hyperparathyroidism, prostaglandin (PGE2) or osteoclast- activating factor. It now seems likely that ectopic PTH is rarely the cause of hypercalcemia in nonparathyroid cancer (…)."

instrument sensitive enough to detect minerals in soil in parts- per- million, he discovered New Jersey soils were losing valuable trace elements. Earp- Thomas also discovered that if plants are starved for a particular nutrient they will still grow to maturity by substituting other elements. "If lime or potash is lacking in the soil, or if present in a form nature cannot use, she may substitute, as food for the plant, the minerals magnesium and soda.

Or, she may substitute in the place of sulfur, toxic levels of selenium. When the soil is deficient in some particular element and where there are no others to substitute, the plants will grow to maturity bearing only a fraction of that mineral." This was a dire warning. Earp- Thomas had discovered that plants may look normal but if the soil is deficient in beneficial trace minerals, the plant will absorb instead the elements available–possibly to toxic levels.

The soil scientist also knew soil is alive or fertile and supports lush plant growth because of bacteria - the bacteria eat rocks to produce soil and then pass the minerals along to plants. He understood that plants GREW BEST when they received their minerals predigested by soil bacteria. This helps to explain the problems created by today's chemical fertilizers.

"(‌) There are no data supporting the ectopic production of vitamin D- like substance as an important factor in the hypercalcemia of cancer. There are three general categories in which patients with hypercalcemia and cancer may be placed: those with bone metastases, those without bone metastases of solid tumors and those with hematologic malignancies.

Hypokalemia is associated with ectopic ACTHand insulin- - producing tumors, and is often found in patients with mucin- secreting, potassiumlosing adenocarcinoma of the colon."

Earp- Thomas with the help of a Rockefeller Foundation grant and a team of researchers was able to study soil microbes all over the world. His research showing the importance of soil microbes to the health of plants was well documented.

By 1938, he had developed a three- stage process to duplicate the process from rock to plants and thus more efficiently to the human cell. Before developing a formula he observed mineral uptake in wheatgrass to see what elements the plant used. The process he developed to produce a product the cells would readily absorb involved water, bacteria and electromagnetic spin–an electrolytic mineral solution was born.

Working with doctors, Earp- Thomas used his product to successfully treat cancer patients. The war brought an end to his research. After the war he published and distributed his own literature warning about the depletion of soils and the successful treatment of cancer patients using his electrolytic or electromagnetic formula. The timing was not in his favor as huge chemical companies were now based in New Jersey.

Chemical farming had begun. Then, in 1948, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) CHARGED Dr. Earp- Thomas with providing medical advice. Earp- Thomas won the resulting court case but before he could leave the building, the deputy director of the FDA warned him he would be back in court again next year if he didn't stop distributing his material. The FDA man asked Earp- Thomas if he wanted to spend $100,000 each year defending himself. Shortly after his laboratory MYSTERIOUSLY burned to the ground destroying his equipment and priceless research data.

His work was lost except for the memories of a lab assistant, Jerry Olarsch. It took 30 years of research for Jerry Olarsch, N.D. to produce Earp- Thomas' electrolytic minerals. Today, as President of Nature's Path Inc., Olarsch makes the product available under the trade name of Trace- Lyte.

plane of existence. Dr. Emanuel Revici, a Romanianborn physician, scientist, author, and humanitarian, who passed away at the age of 101, practicing actively to the end, was one of these exceptional people. His revolutionary and far- advanced ideas on the subject of the successful treatment of cancer and other diseases won him international recognition throughout his life, but he also suffered relentless persecution spanning thirty years from United States governmental, educational, and medical agencies. Dr. Revici lived such a colorful and inspiring life, that we will be looking at a chronology as well as his innovative therapy.

He was born September 6th, 1896 in Bucharest, Romania. His father was a physician and his mother, the daughter of a diplomat. At the age of 24 he received his doctorate in medicine and surgery and became licensed.

Thereafter, he became a professor/instructor at the Medical Clinic of the University of Bucharest. He began his research on lipids (fats and fatty acids) and cellular metabolism in the mid- 1920s, resettled in France in 1936, and had five major papers on lipids and pain and cancer deposited by the Pasteur Institute into the eminent National Academy of Sciences. During World War II, his work with the French Resistance was followed by relocation to Mexico, and from 1941- 1945, he continued

In 1946, he was invited to the U.S. by Dr. George Dick, from Chicago University medical school.

In 1947, he moved to Manhattan, earned his medical license by challenge examination, founded the Institute of Applied Biology, and worked there as a scientist and physician until his death this year.

In 1961, the D. Van Nostrand Company (Princeton, NJ), published Dr. Revici's 772- page textbook, Research in Pathophysiology as Basis for Guided Chemotherapy, with Special Application to Cancer. This book represented some thirty years of his research.

Immediately, The American Cancer Society placed Dr. Revici's therapy on its infamous list of "unproven methods" and blacklisted him. In addition to his monumental text, he authored over thirty scientific articles on the treatment of cancer. Dr. Gerhard Schrauzer, professor of biochemistry at the University of California at La Jolla, publicly credited Dr. Revici for "having discovered pharmacologically active selenium compounds," and is quoted as saying, "I came to the conclusion that Dr. Revici is an innovative medical genius, outstanding chemist, and a highly creative thinker.

Dr. Revici's quoted as saying, "There are simply no two cancers which are alike, just as no two individuals are alike. We are fully entitled to consider my approach not only a highly beneficial treatment which can be offered now for this disease, but even a major step nearer to the solution of the problem of the therapy of cancer. When correctly applied, it can, in many cases, bring under control even far advanced malignancies."

Dr. Revici's therapy is based on fundamentals of human biochemistry. He believed that health resulted from a balance between two dynamic forces in all living organisms, CATABOLISM (breaking down), or ANABOLISM (building up). If either of these forces predominates for a longer than normal period of time, disease can occur. The human immune system, he also believed, operates in four successive phases when dealing with foreign invaders or imbalances: 1. The Enzyme Phase - the breaking down of foreign substances by enzymes 2. The Lipidic Phase - either fatty acids or sterols are produced 3. The Coagulant Antibody Phase - antibodies gather at the site of the foreign substance Refernce: The Man Who Cured Cancer... and Much, Much More by Eva Urbaniak, N.D., www.docevaonline.com

"The results obtained in the most hopeless cases were always the emelioration of pain, and quite often the progressive disappearance of large tumors. Dr. Revivi's research must be continued and fostered and may change the therapy of tumors COMPLETELY." - Dr. Chifaliau, Honored Member of Hospitals of Paris and Academy of Surgery of France "For a long time, many of the different therapies offered within the alternative field - - let's say, for cancer or for AIDS - have not been really qualified, medically. Clinically, they have. There is an enormous amount of good evidence with the therapies of Dr. Revici and Dr. Gerson and Dr. Burton and Dr. Burzynski and other therapies; these provide lots of good clinical studies showing that their patients who had terminal illness, today don't have illness.

And we only know, theoretically, what works within each of these programs." - GARY NULL

4. The Globulinic Antibody Phase - the foreign substance is fully neutralized and rendered harmless.

Dr. Revici observed that cancer results when the body's defense system is arrested in the lipidic phase, so that fatty acids or sterols abound and promote the development of cancer. His idea regarding therapy was simple, to find out which process was predominating and to then guide therapy to reverse it. Because of his early work with lipids, Dr. Revici developed many compounds and was probably the first to discover NON- TOXIC CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS which could selectively cross the cell membrane of tumors. Sulfur and selenium, he stated, were the most effective in cancer prevention. He invented approximately 100 different medicines and patented many of them. In fact, he developed non- toxic forms of medicine from just about the entire periodic table, from substances like mercury, lead, beryllium, copper, zinc, nickel, selenium, sulfur, and many more.

He formulated a compound of a bivalent negative selenium molecule and a molecule of fatty acid, enabling him to deliver by injection, 1 gram or 1 million micrograms of selenium daily, in a totally non- toxic form (more than 200 micrograms is considered toxic Refernce: The Man Who Cured Cancer... and Much, Much More by Eva Urbaniak, N.D., www.docevaonline.com

" In Memoriam" from Townsend Letter to Doctors and Patients: Testimonial to Dr. Revici's importance to humanity "...The only published clinical study of Revici's treatment for cancer appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association JAMA) in 1965. It was written by a panel of nine New York physicians after Revici himself requested that a scientific panel review his cancermanagement program. After two years of observation, the panel concluded that the Revici therapy was "without value."

The authors reported that 22 of the 33 patients in the study died of cancer or its complications while on the Revici treatment and 4 more died after discontinuing the regimen. None of the 33 showed signs of objective tumor regression, according to the authors."

- Richard Walters, from Options: The Alternative Cancer Therapy Book, 1993 15 "Dr. R. Donaldson of the St. Louis Veterans' Administration Hospital reported in 1983 that some patients deemed terminal with only weeks to live were completely free of all signs of cancer after four years; all the patients showed a reduction in tumor size and in pain." - Healthy.net 16 "I came to the conclusion that Dr. Revici is an innovative medical genius, outstanding chemist, and a highly creative thinker. I also realized that few of his medical colleagues would be able to follow his train of thought and thus would be all too willing to dismiss his work." - Dr. Gerhard Schrauzer, professor of biochemistry at the University of California at La Jolla, publicly credited Dr. Revici for "having discovered pharmacologically active selenium compounds,"

when taking selenium orally). The lipid- bound selenium travels through the bloodstream in tact and goes to tumor sites or sites with tendencies toward cancer, which have an affinity for lipids (and in fact are comprised heavily of lipids), chemically binds to the lesions, thereby delivering the medicine exactly where it needs to go. His formulas even cross the blood- brain barrier, making them effective against brain tumors as well.

So, with his "guided lipid" therapy, he found two basic patterns of imbalance with cancer patients stuck in the lipidic phase mentioned earlier, ANABOLIC, or sterol predominance (hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and adrenal hormones), and CATABOLIC, or fatty acid predominance, and the goal was to normalize the state of dis- ease by giving the body what it needed to balance it. It is important to note that conventional chemotherapy often fails to kill all of the cancer cells, making those cells that persist more resistant to further therapy. Often we hear how doctors try one, then another, and another different chemo.

Whereas Dr. Revici's therapy could be administered to kill or diminish tumors, its basic use is to fine- tune and correct the metabolic processes that allowed the cancer to take hold in the first place, a much more effective approach.

"My father, who was the science editor of the American Cancer Society for 25 years, and I met with Dr. Revici for the first time on a summer's day in the mid 1970's. After two hours of discussion, we left and walked down Park Avenue.

I said, 'I have to confess I didn't understand a word that man said.' He said, 'I didn't understand one word either, but I am absolutely convincedthat man is a genius.’" - Patrick M. McGrady Jr. Former Moscow bureau chief for Newsweek director of CANHELP, a cancer- patient information and referral service "Dr. Revici has been working in my laboratory for two years...It is vital thathis research be continued without interruption, for the results obtained by Dr. Revici open a multiplicity of new paths to research of all kinds, particularly in the field of cancer."

- Roger. Leroux, M.D., Professor of Pathologic Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine in Paris, Deputy Director of the Institute of Cancer of Villejuif "Dr. Revici's research in lipids and their therapeutic application in HIV infection and AIDS has proved to be extremely effective- a fact reflected by improvement of 'T' lymphocyte counts and clinical conditions as well. His work is definitely promising and opens vast areas of investigation and study in the field." - Carolina Stamu, M.D. "...in cases of patients afflicted with grave surgical conditions...the results obtained in the most hopeless of cases were always the amelioration of pain, and quite often the progressive disappearance of large tumors."

- Dr. Revici's

treatment of thousands of patients with cancer consisted of a core group of his compounds - fatty acids, sterols, extracts of animal tissues, and minerals incorporated in lipids.

As his work continued, always honoring and acknowledging each person's biochemical individuality, he named his therapy "biologically guided chemotherapy." He used a urine pH test to determine if the patient's body chemistry was balanced. Urine tends to become acid during the day as metabolic processes accelerate, and alkaline as the anabolic phase predominates at night. A simple urine test can show if a person is cycling properly between these two phases, and therapy is adjusted accordingly.

Going a little deeper into Dr. Revici's philosophy, his theory guiding diagnosis and treatment he named, "Biological Dualism." The two forces "pre- dating" catabolism and anabolism are electrostatic (positive and negative charges tend to annihilate each other) and quantum (opposes annihilation by creating organization).

Therefore, electrostatic forces relate to entropy, or the loss of order, and quantum forces relate to an increase of order, or what he called "negentropy." So catabolism relates to entropy, and anabolism relates to negentropy.

In illness and degenerative conditions, there is always a PREDOMINANCE of either catabolic or anabolic Refernce: The Man Who Cured Cancer... and Much, Much More by Eva Urbaniak, N.D., www.docevaonline.com

"Dr. Revici wrote a detailed rebuttal in which he stated that the panel had ignored evidence indicating several tumor remissions, multiple reductions in tumor size, and relief of pain in many advanced patients. He noted that of the nine physicians on the panel, only two had actually seen the patients during the entire two- year study. He further commented that he had requested the study in the "hope that the demonstration of positive results in even a few of these advanced cases would excite sufficient interest to lead to a large- scale study of our approach.... To conclude from a limited study, such as this, that the method should be discontinued, in all cancers, is to say that since surgery and radiation have failed in these same terminal patients, these 'recognized' methods should also be discontinued, not only in these types of cancer but in all cancers in general." Although Dr. Revici submitted substantiating pathological data in his lengthy rebuttal,JAMA refused to publish it."

- Richard Walters, Options: The Alternative Cancer Therapy Book, Avery Publishing Group, 1993 15 "On August 16, 1955, Revici demonstrated his method before a group of professionals, cancer patients, and other guests. Practically every type of cancer in almost every region of the body was demonstrated to the audience. Every one of the 18 patients shown (ranging in ages from 8 to 80) had recovered sufficiently to return to full and active lives. All had been treated free of charge. In nearly every case, previous surgical or X- ray treatment had failed. The oldest patient had been first treated in 1942. " - Vance Ferrell, Alternative Cancer Remedies 1998 1

states. Dr. Revici was also one of the first, if not the first practitioner to implement the body's own innate timing mechanism in delivering medicine. Anabolic and catabolic agents were to be taken in correspondence with the body's anabolic and catabolic phases.

His understanding of this dynamic antagonism between these two ubiquitous forces (electrostatic and quantum) placed him far ahead of his contemporaries in the early part of this century. This distinguishes him as the first medical researcher to unite the field of physics, blending classical Newtonian and modern quantum physics with human biochemistry and medicine, upholding the now more evident "macrocosm within the microcosm."

His life and his work, and his incredible longevity and productivity stand as a testimony to what he believed, researched and practiced. There were many patients whom he saw who were unable to pay him. He still made house calls at the age of 100, and his patients called him at home. He preserved and prolonged intact the lives of many patients declared terminal and hopeless by conventional doctors.

"Dr. Mark Noble, professor of oncological science at the University of Utah, on hearing of Dr. Revici's death, explained why so many researchers are interested in exploring his life's work: "Dr. Revici leaves the world two legacies: First, the untold hundreds of patients helped by him when other doctors had given up; second, the challenge of understanding the physiological insights that allowed these extraordinary recoveries. If we can succeed in this challenge, then the true contributions of this remarkable man will finally begin to be realized in full." by Marcus A. Cohen and Patrick McGrady, Jr.," - Emanuel Revici, MD, age 101, "Dr. Revici is now 96 years old but is still practicing medicine. Old age is not a crime, however, and orthodox physicians are generally left free to practice in their later years. The cancer establishment has been out to get Revici for decades.

He is a 'heretic,' who uses medicines of his own invention and claims some astonishing results. Other doctors (including radiologist Seymour Brenner, MD) feel there is an urgent need for clinical testing." - Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. "Dr. Revici heard about a patient who was too sick to come and see him. He paid the man a house call, walking up five flights of stairs. Revici was ninetythree." Marcus Cohen Revici historian "You could call him at home any day, at any time. We called him three times on Christmas day, including at 6:41 in the morning and 9:14 at night, plus at 6:30 in the evening on Christmas Eve. I kept a tab on all the calls we made. It totaled 437 calls." - Pierce and Allan Hamilton, parents of Andrew Hamilton, patient.

license in 1993, which was returned to him last November, less than two months before his death. His non- toxic chemotherapy has been successfully used for forty years. His work deserves much more attention and incorporation into mainstream medicine. Let us hope that cancer sufferers will seek out and find the doctors who are carrying on his phenomenal work.

The Treatment (The following information was excerpted from: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA) 1

According to Revici, his method was based solely on biochemical and physiological principles, and used chemicals which were well known and easily available to any physician. His treatment was designed to correct an imbalance between fatty acids and sterols in the cancer patient, which he called a "biological dualism."

Revici was a pioneer in using the trace mineral, selenium, to heal cancer. He also devised an intriguing theory as to why pain does not occur early in the malignancy. He said that cancer first begins within a cell nucleus, and lingers there for a time. It is noninvasive; that is, does not spread to other cells. Then, it starts spreading and the strange, atypical growth begins. So far, there is still no pain. The third stage consists of changes Refernce: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA

"My father, who was the science editor of the American Cancer Society for 25 years, and I met with Dr. Revici for the first time on a summer's day in the mid 1970's. After two hours of discussion, we left and walked down Park Avenue.

I said, 'I have to confess I didn't understand a word that man said.' He said, 'I didn't understand one word either, but I am absolutely convincedthat man is a genius.'" - Patrick M.

in entire tissues, and pain begins. This pain is "caused by chemical changes occurring in the intercellular fluid that baths the nerve endings," according to Revici.

Hemorrhages or clotting are the next phase, followed by the terminal phase, when radical alteration of the entire metabolism is affected. According to his theory, pain in cancer is triggered by the metabolic changes which unbalance the pH of the intercellular fluid. The further the pH deviates from normal pH (either acid or alkaline), the more intense the pain.

Revici’s investigations disclosed that the lipids in the painful neoplastic (cancerous) tissue changed. He decided that some lipids in malignant tumors were very different than those in normal tissue. Could it be possible, he thought, that by changing the lipid content of the tissue—the cancer could be eliminated? It seemed that these abnormal lipids were responsible for the imbalance in cancer between the sterols and the fatty acids (the two fundamental types of lipids). He found that there could be two types of lipid imbalance: too much sterols and not enough fatty acids or vice versa.

His approach was to introduce into the system chemicals which would return the lipids to a normal balance.

When Revici did this, he found that pH changes were normalized; bleeding could be controlled; and, finally, the strange growth of cells could be controlled or Refernce: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA

"Cancer patients suffer from a faulty metabolism caused by a malfunction in the lipid defense system. By repairing the lipid defense system the cancer cannot survive. Of course common chemo and radiation causes further harm to the lipid defense system - - the very system that protects you from cancer! The folks who will READILY ADMIT that they don't understand the cancer mechanism will tell you with their next breath that cancer can be killed with poisons. So can you. Would you trust your car to a so- called mechanic who didn't understand what makes a car work properly? If not, why would you let someone who doesn't understand cancer "fix" your body?

The average cancer docs don't know - they admit it. That doesn't make them bad people, it just makes them unqualified to treat your condition if you have cancer. Don't let unqualified people poison you just because they don't know what else to do".

arrested. Commenting on this, he wrote in his 1955 book, The Control of Cancer with Lipids: "All of these changes have been observed following adequate lipid treatment. Moreover, in many cases significant diminution in the size of tumor masses and even their complete disappearance have been observed.

Theoretically, such objective changes in the size of malignant neoplasms can be in part accounted for on the basis of alterations in cellular lipids, the body apparently having relatively ample means of defending itself against noninvasive cancer cells. One indication of this is the observation thatso- called ‘cancers- in- situ’ [cancers in one place] have disappeared without any treatment."

"Dr. Revici has cured many people of cancer who were otherwise considered incurable. It is my professional opinion that his medicines have worked for many of the patients whose records I have examined."

Foreword by Dr. Brenner, Oncologist The following is excerpted from a foreword of a book: The Man Who Cured Cancer by Kelly Eidem. It is a very powerful acknowledgment of Dr. Revici's method since it comes from a traditional doctor in the cancer establishment. (The article was written by Dr. Brenner who is a retired radiation oncologist. Author: Seymour Brenner, M.D., F.A.C.R. from Evaluation Of Results Using The Revici Method, http://www.revicimedical.com/) 17, 18

FOREWORD: Dr. Emanuel Revici treats cancer in a manner unlike any other doctor in the United States and probably in the world. He uses his own medicines. Over the years he has developed over 100 different medications in his own laboratory. I don't know how they work, but I have seen their results. I am a retired board certified radiation oncologist. My practice specialized in the treatment of cancer with radiation. I have fought at the front lines in the war against cancer all of my professional life. During my long tenure of battling cancer for my patients, I gradually became rather frustrated and unhappy with the little progress that has been made in the treatment of this disease.

After more than forty- years of seeing almost no breakthroughs on the medical front, it became painful seeing my patients every day, knowing that most of them had very little chance for a cure. On numerous occasions I saw patients in tears. Just as often I saw wives crying for their husbands, husbands crying for their wives, and parents crying for their sick children.

My combined Brooklyn and Queens offices handled several hundred appointments a week during the last ten- years of my practice, making it the largest cancer radiation oncology center in the nation. Highly regarded physicians whose offices were in the shadows of Sloan- Kettering, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and NYU Medical Center sent their patients to our offices. I was a member of the Cancer and Acute Leukemia Group "B", which is the largest nationally funded cancer research group in the United States. Our office provided this organization with statistical data regarding our patients.

My practice produced a personal income for me well into the seven- figure range annually. For four decades our offices were technologically state- of- the- art. We repeatedly spent millions of dollars in order to procure the latest and best radiation and diagnostic equipment available. Despite that outward success, I am still saddened from having watched so many people of all ages die.

Even with the best possible equipment and a staff of board- certified radiation oncologists, we could only do so much. Sadly, for the population of patients we saw, the odds were against them. Many came to us hoping to be cured. When I examined their records, though, I knew which ones were being treated for a possible cure, and which ones were being treated for palliation (relief of pain).

Since 1950, the medical profession has made only minor advances in the therapeutic arena against cancer. The only significant improvement that I saw was in our diagnostic abilities. As a result, some cancers, such as cancer of the breast, colon, uterus and prostate have cure rates of 90% or better if caught in Stage 1. I must state, however, that these four highly curable cancers become incurable if not caught in their early stages Stages I or Il. Although the overall numbers say you have a fifty- fifty chance of beating cancer, the individual numbers say you either have a 90% chance or very little chance, depending on what stage the cancer is in and its type. Unfortunately, for a few cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, the patient is lucky to live much more than six months, regardless of the treatment. Even with the all- out effort to catch cancer earlier than ever before, the overall five- year cure rate has inched up a paltry 0.7% in the last 40- years.

I first became interested in Emanuel Revici M.D., not from the medical literature, but from hard evidence - that is, X- rays taken at my office of one of my patients. I knew his prior condition, because this was a patient we had seen a year earlier. His cancer of the lung had metastasized to his bones.

There was no mistaking the improvement in the patient. When I saw that his new films showed no evidence of the cancer either in his bones or lungs, I had to find out what caused the remission.

The patient told me he had been undergoing treatment by a Dr. Revici in Manhattan. At the time, I was unfamiliar with the gentleman. Still I arranged to meet with him at his office. When I first met Dr. Revici- he was already 90- years- old. He showed me enough before and after X- rays and CT scans at our first meeting for me to schedule a second one.

A few days later he introduced me to three patients who had previously been stricken with incurable cancer. Two of them had been afflicted with pancreatic cancer and the other was previously diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Dr. Revici showed me their CT scans both before and after his treatment. The before' pictures showed a suspicious mass for each patient. He also showed me the written biopsy reports from the various hospitals which had confirmed that the abnormal masses were cancerous. The 'after' scans showed no evidence of any abnormality. From all outward appearances, the three patients looked to be healthy. Dr. Revici also showed me copies of the reports from the patients' private physicians who confirmed that the patients were now free of cancer.

I knew from my own training and experience that modem medicine couldn't have saved those three people. Each of the three patients had an almost zero percent chance of recovery. That all three would be free of cancer led me to think that Dr. Revici's medicines were worth further investigation. Since those early meetings, I have reviewed the records, X- rays, CT scans and biopsy reports of dozens of Dr. Revici's patients. Often, when Dr. Revici provided me with information on a patient I would attempt to confirm it with the patients' previous physicians. I soon found out that every time Dr. Revici had provided me with information regarding a patient it would turn out to be correct.

As a Diplomat of Radiology I have reviewed many cases of incurable cancer that Dr. Revici has cured. I must admit that his results aren't always 100% but then neither are the results of the approved medical profession 100%.

In my entire career of seeing tens of thousands of patients, I have never seen a single case of spontaneous remission, except for misdiagnosed lung cancer. The cases I reviewed at Dr. Revici's office were not misdiagnosed. In my opinion, it’s unlikely that the positive outcomes I reviewed were the results of multiple spontaneous remissions.

I must interject a brief story at this point. When I met Dr. Revici- I was sixty- twoyears- old. My PSA reading, the screening test for prostate cancer, was 6.2. A PSA score of up to 5.0 is normal. Scores from 5.0 to 10.0, need to be watched, as some may indicate the presence of cancer. Above 10.0, there's a greatly elevated chance of cancer.

I told Dr. Revici about my PSA score, so he gave me one of his medications. After taking the medicine for a year, my PSA reading fell to 1.6. There were no apparent ill effects. After a few years of being off the medicine, my latest PSA score has inched up to 2.5.

After examining the records of a number of his patients, I am now of the opinion that Dr. Revici has something worthy of a thorough clinical trial. I decided to see if I could help Dr. Revici to conduct a large scale test of his method and his medicines.

I made a presentation at the Congressional hearing in March of 1988. At that time I proposed a study to test Dr. Revici's method for treating cancer, Once it is approved, the study will include 100 cases of cancer that the medical profession recognizes as incurable: pancreatic cancer, colon cancer with liver metastases, unresectable lung cancer and unresectable brain cancer. The patients are to be selected by five board- certified oncologists who will verify that each patient is incurable, and that his or her life expectancy is less than one year.

Sloan- Kettering, NIH, The Mayo Clinic, M.D. Anderson, John Hopkins and many other outstanding research centers accept cancer patients for experimental trials every day.

The patients who volunteer often decide to participate because they believe it might give them a chance they might not have otherwise. I believe it’s time to conduct experimental trials of Revici's medicines. These patients would have nothing to lose by their participation. From what I have seen, there is the chance that they would have something to gain.

Dr. Revici has cured many people who were otherwise considered incurable. It is my professional opinion that his medicines have worked for many of the patients whose records I have examined. Let’s find out if more patients and their families can be helped. The fact that he has helped so many people means it's time for Mr. and Mrs. America to push for a clinical trial of his method.

Evaluation of results using the Revici Method (Following information was excerpted from: Evaluation Of Results Using The Revici Method, by Seymour Brenner, M.D., F.A.C.R, http://www.revicimedical.com/) 17

The statistical analysis offered by traditional oncologists is often very misleading and must be interpreted with great caution. For instance one argument used to justify the use of chemotherapy is that people are living longer with cancer than they were previously. This in no way proves that conventional treatments are effective since it was In past People are living longer even if they get only supportive cam It Is also true that we are diagnosing people earlier than in previous years so it may appear that they are living longer when in actuality we only know that they have cancer sooner.

The fact is there is little evidence that supports the use of chemotherapy in most cancers. There have been very few double blind test investigating one chemotherapeutic agent to another one. In other words there is no control group that gets a placebo (no treatment) so we never really know if people would live as long or longer without chemotherapy. The few studies that do exist that have placebo groups often show no survival advantage over the treatment group.

The bottom line is that, as a patient you have the right to know what evidence there is to suggest that a treatment is effective especially if the treatment can kill you.

Very often, oncologists will use terms like response rate, or disease free survival to give evidence that chemotherapy is effective. These terms can be very misleading. For instance chemotherapy may be successful in shrinking a particular type of tumor 80% of the time and in some cases may even make the tumor so small that the cancer apparently goes away. To the average person this may sound very good but the truth is it is deceptive and misleading because tumor response and even disease free survival (Le ... the cancer apparently disappears) does not mean the same thing as overall survival. This means a person who gets chemotherapy may have the tumor shrink, in fact it may even Reference: Forword to ‘The Man Who Cured Cancer’ by Kelly Eidem. Written by Seymour Brenner, M.D., F.A.C.R

163

appear to disappear, but this does not mean they will five longer than a person who was not treated with chemotherapy. For this reason the most important question you should ask your oncologist is: "What proof is there that taking chemotherapy will make me actually live longer than If I did nothing?"

The problem with chemotherapy is that it ultimately fans for the same reason it is successful, Le... IT IS A POISON. Chemotherapy is very effective in killing cancer cells; however, it also weakens the body's defenses at the same time, so for every point you gain in a dead cancer cells you lose in dead cells of the immune system, the exact system that your body needs to fight the cancer.

It is one thing to offer an unproved therapy that will do you no harm but to offer an unproved treatment that can potentially kill you goes beyond reason.

The next dilemma cancer patients have once they decide to forgo chemotherapy for alternative methods is which one is best. This is often a more difficult question to answer than the Initial one of whether to use traditional treatments or alternative. I can only provide you with the evidence I feel proves that the methods used at The Practice of Emanuel Revici are effective. I have no doubt that there are many other modalities that are effective but I have no way to directly evaluate them and unfortunately to this date there are no studies that have compared the various alternative treatments. Statistics taken directly from a clinic are of questionable value since clinics are not set up as studies and there are many variables that are not controlled for. Therefore if clinic A reports that they have 80% success In treating a particular disorder and clinic B says they have 40% success it would be erroneous to assume that clinic A is better since they may be treating people who are less sick or they may have different criteria for the definition of a successful treatment The Revici method has a 70 year history of experimentation and clinical success.

Dr. Revici is a true innovator. His methods are based on a foundation of scientific Reference: Forword to ‘The Man Who Cured Cancer’ by Kelly Eidem. Written by Seymour Brenner, M.D., F.A.C.R

164

principles that have evolved into the method currently used. One question frequently asked is that if Dr. Revici's methods are so effective why haven't they been received more favorably by the orthodox medical community. When we see how other great discoveries have been accepted through our history it becomes apparent that the more ground shaking and profound a discoveries, the longer it takes for the orthodox communities to acknowledge its validity. Human bias is no stranger to medicine and science, and much of what is accepted in medicine today is not based on science but has to do with personal beliefs, politics, and economics.

The first study was by Dr. Revici at The Institute of Applied Biology. There were 1047 people in the study, with a large variety of cancers. All patients had very poor prognoses and had exhausted all conventional treatments including, surgery and chemotherapy. Each patient was categorized metabolically as either anabolic or catabolic and then placed on the appropriate compounds. The results of this study showed 41% had a favorable response. Favorable varied from subjective relief of symptoms (improved appetite, decrease in pain, increase in strength and sense of well being), to arresting the progress of disease, diminution of tumors and long term remission. Also there appeared to be a prolongation in life in those patients who responded favorably.

After this study Dr. Revici made even greater strides. In his therapy and this is reflected In the Italian study performed by Dr. Pacelli in Naples. This study took place between 1984 and 1990. There were 372 patients, most with extensive metastasis, enrolled. All patients enrolled in the study had life expectancies of less than 90 days and had exhausted all conventional treatments including chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

The results are as follows: Lung cancer: 186 patients. Coughing of blood resolved in 75% of patients who had this symptom. 80% had control of previously uncontrollable pain. 75% gained weight.

The average life expectancy of these patients was 80 days. Actual average life span was Reference: Forword to ‘The Man Who Cured Cancer’ by Kelly Eidem. Written by Seymour Brenner, M.D., F.A.C.R

165

172 days. 45% of the patients were still living at the end of the study period. The quality of life index increased from 35% to 70%.

Intestinal cancer: 57 patients. The average life expectancy was 60 days. The actual survival time averaged 245 days. 21 patients were still living at the end of the study.

In addition pain was controlled in 70%. Abdominal fluid decreased an average of 70%.

The quality of life Index increased from 30% to 70%.

Breast cancer: 53 patients with stage IV cancer. 80% were able to control pain.

The average life expectancy was 90 days. Actual average survival was 180 days with 12 patients still living at the end of the study. The quality of life index Increased from 25% to 60%.

Uterine cancer: 27 patients. Pain was reduced in 71% of cases. The average life expectancy was 90 days. Actual average survival was 270 days and 9 patients were still living at the end of the study. Quality of life Increased from 35% to 70%.

Liver cancer: 26 patients. Most patients gained back significant amounts of weight 65% experienced pain reduction. Average life expectancy was 60 days. Actual average survival was 233 days and 42% were still living at the end of the study.

Stomach cancer: 23 patients. 90% of previously uncontrolled pain was controlled.

80% of patients regained weight Average life expectancy was 75 days. Actual survival was 265 days and 9 patients were still living at the end of the study.

Methodologically the above studies had shortcomings in the severe condition of the patient control groups, but considering the severe condition of the patients in these studies the results are excellent it is our belief that If a study were conducted with patients in the earlier stages of the disease prior to chemotherapy the results would be even greater (…).

The following cases are illustrative of the way patients have responded to the treatment: 1: 43 year old man with bladder cancer. Biopsy revealed a high grade transitional cell carcinoma. The patient refused cystectomy (removal of the urinary bladder) and was treated only with Dr. Revici's compounds. Seven years later there was no evidence of disease through cystoscopy.

2: 29 year old woman with a chordoma (type of brain tumor). The tumor was partially removed and she was treated with a course of radiation, however the condition progressed and in 12 months she was confined to a wheel chair. After being treated only with Dr. Revici's compounds she was able to walk again and was essentially self sufficient.

3: 30 year old woman with ovarian cancer had a total hysterectomy. At the time of surgery it appeared that all the tumor was removed, but as a precaution she was placed on 6 months of chemotherapy. One year later she developed metastatic disease to the omentum. She began with Dr. Revici's treatment and did well at least 2 years later.

4: 50 year old woman with adenocarcinoma in the left lung. The tumor was inoperable. She received a course of radiation which reduced the tumor. She refused chemotherapy and began with Dr. Revici's treatments. She was hoarse because of the involvement of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Over the next year her voice returned to normal and she was without symptoms. Radiological assessment showed improvement 5: 34 year old man with giant cell tumor in the left femur. He underwent an above the knee amputation. However he still developed metastasis to the lung and kidney. He opted to use Dr. Revici's compounds. One year later X- rays showed no progression in the lungs, IVP showed almost complete disappearance of the right kidney's mass and the left mass was also smaller. He continues to do well 8 years later.

6: 40 year old woman with small cell cancer of the lung and distant metastasis. She started chemotherapy but stopped after 3 cycles and then started with Dr. Revici. Seven years later she is in apparent remission.

7: 23 year old woman diagnosed with meningioma extending to the left eye, orbit and maxillary sinus. She was treated with radiation. She started with Dr. Revici's treatment and continued to do well 3 years later even though MRI did not show marked decrease in tumor size.

8: 60 year old man with squamous cell cancer of the lung. He was inoperable because of local extension. He was treated with radiation and then started with Dr. Revici's treatments. 3 years later he continued to do well.

9: 53 year old woman with adenocarcinoma of the lung. Her tumor was nonresectable. She received radiation and then saw Dr. Revici. Over the next year her condition improved. Years later she continues without symptoms.

10: 27 year old woman diagnosed with glioblastoma. or astrocytoma (there was some dispute as to the histology) grade 111. She received radiation and surgery and then started with Dr. Revici's treatment. Her condition improved and she continued to do well 9 years later.

These cases represent a small sample of the people we have treated with great results. All of these cases would have been considered "MIRACLES" by the conventional standards.

Although he has since passed away there are a large number of practitioners of this method today and several people actively training others in this methodology.

It is a fact that a shining intellect can often be apparent at an early age, and Reams' genius shone through from the outset. During his childhood on the family farm in Florida, his intuitive and practical understanding of plant growth became legendary. It has been said that his father entrusted him with sole responsibility for a significant growing area when he was just five years old. He devised a fertility program, organized labor and apparently produced an exceptional melon crop at that tender age.

Dr Reams never really separated his two professions. He developed extensive systems related to both during the 50's and 60's. While practicing medicine in Orlando, Florida, he opened a health retreat in Georgia and used this accumulated practical experience and research to develop what he termed the Reams Human Health Equation - a diagnostic and analytical tool based on the testing of urine and saliva. These body fluids were tested with the soil testing approach, which Reams favored when evaluating soil health.

"By utilizing what Carey Reams knew the world truly could have been changed, and this holds true today. Millions of acres of totally worn out land could be redeemed and become fully productive.

Millions of people that have suffered for years with illness could be set free. He offered so much that could benefit the world, and yet he is unknown by most.

It is the author’s belief that most of the healthcare industry could have been totally eliminated if we would have turned our focus on agricultural practices instead.

Think about the following: the average supermarket carrot has approximately 30mg of calcium and virtually no trace elements but grown correctly it could contain upwards of 500mg of calcium and 100x the trace elements. The same basic principle would apply to virtually every other type of fruit, vegetable, grain or seed. Then consider that most human diseases have their roots in nutritional deficiencies and it begins to become clear that many diseases could be completely eliminated through better nutrition."

diseases based upon small reductions in energy loss, without actually seeing his clients.

More than anyone else, he was able to make the link between earth soil and the soil of a person, especially since he also has an undergraduate degree in chemistry.

The story was told that Dr. Reams had a friend with a dying daughter who insisted that if Dr. Reams could do wonders for soil, plants and crops, that he should be able to help the young child. He wouldn't take "no" for an answer. Eventually, this personal obligation is what drove Dr. Reams to making the transition from soil chemistry analysis to body chemistry analysis. After years of testing, Dr. Reams determined that urine and saliva provided the best medium for testing his Theory of Biological Ionization.

Summary: Dr. Reams realized that the soil was everything, just like Pasteur said on his dead bed: "The soil is everything, the germ is nothing". He discovered that all the variables of the human soil can be determined from a person's urine plus saliva. His test consisted of 7 parameters (optimal values in between the brackets). Sugar brix (1.5); Urine pH (6.4); Saliva pH (6.4); Conductivity (7C); Cell Debris (.04M); Nitrate Nitrogen (3); Ammonia Nitrogen (3).

"These 7 numbers are a picture of the inner workings of the human body. They identify problems and point to solutions.

It is not necessary to name a disease to fix it. Every disease creates its own set of numbers. Every disease is a biological malfunction with a very certain cause and effect. You change the cause and you change the effect. You fix the numbers and the problem goes away – guaranteed.

Our complex biological body has never before been expressed with mathematical numbers. Mathematics is an exact science – no room for interpretation. 200 divided by 4 multiplied by 6 is always, always, always – about 300. NO it is exactly 300 every single time. Your combination of "numbers" always points to a specific biological problem because we know the perfect numbers for perfect health. If yours are off and you don’t correct them – you will get sicker and sicker. Body chemistry is predictable and an exact science – every single time.

It makes good logical sense that because we are an ordered biological entity, the many millions of processes of the body can be boiled down to a 7 number formula. There is a perfect biological set of numbers for a human being. To bring your numbers closer to the perfect ones you would have to add things to your diet or take things away – plain and simple.

Pharmaceutical drugs rarely help the body fix itself and they usually make the situation worse. A symptom may have been dealt with but the cause of the symptom has not been identified or dealt with. (…)."

instruments and techniques normally used for agricultural testing. Using these figures, he could tell the person exactly what's his condition, exactly where a tumor is forming, and he could predict when a person might get a heart attack. Dr. Reams started a Health Retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia. People seeking wellness would come to this retreat for several weeks and be given a diet to suit their body chemistry.

Many of them left feeling better than they had felt in years. It was quite amazing. His success with treating TERMINAL cancer patients, abandoned by the regular medicine to die in peace, was astounding. He only lost 6 patients of the 10,000 treated in one year!

Dr. Reams died in 1985 and took a lot of his knowledge with him in to the grave. On this day there are still a couple of his students that have devoted their lives on his research and his ideas, they continue to promote his legacy not to honor him, but to serve mankind, just like dr. Reams did.

His treatment and his tests are based on the Reams theory of Biological Ionization.

A real mouthful, but in short it means that all the energy any organism uses is produced by friction between anions and cations.

Now we are getting down to the BIOLOGICAL THEORY OF IONIZATION for the production of energy. Please fasten your seat belts; we are going to have to get into a little chemistry, physics and electronics. I hope that you see what I am driving at in a few pages.

A single ANION* contains the smallest amount of energy that there is. This single ANION will contain 1 Millhouse unit of energy. However, an ANION may contain as many as 499 Millhouse units of energy and still be known as an ANION. The word ANION is both singular and plural. An ANION MOLECULE has a positive ion as a nucleus. This + ion is known as a CATION. One single CATION contains 500 mh units of energy but may contain as many as 999 mh units and still be known as a CATION. The orbiting shell of an ANION molecule rotates in a clock- wise direction. A

"The visits of US fertility experts, Dr Arden Andersen and Dr Phil Wheeler, to Australia have generated tremendous interest in their unique approach to highproduction, sustainable agriculture.

Both consultants describe themselves as exponents of the Reams/ Albrecht/ Callahan approach to fertility management. The triumvirate to whom they refer comprises Dr Carey Reams, Dr William Albrecht and Dr Philip Callahan. These three pioneers are central figures in what has become the most powerful sustainable push in late 20th century agriculture. Alternative agriculture has never sailed so close to the mainstream. Vested interests have always successfully contained and controlled what they have regarded as "organic fringe dwellers", but a burgeoning grassroots movement, led by conventional growers, appears to be changing this power base. The Reams / Albrecht / Callahan approach seems destined to become a major force in 21st century agriculture, and in this context it is important that we consider and evaluate the work of these pioneers.

The late Dr Carey Reams is the least known of the three, but he was responsible for a series of remarkable breakthroughs, the most important of which was his discovery of an irrefutable link between nutritional imbalance, weed infestation and pest / disease resistance."

CATION molecule has an ANION as its nucleus and has CATIONS, or if you prefer cationic electrons, in its outer orbit. This orbit is counterclockwise. But why is this important? Because herein is the vital key to health as expressed in science!

All energy in human bodies is created by the RESISTANCE generated when these oppositely charged ions rotating in opposite directions come together. Think of that, you physics majors! In college physics we have been taught, and generally quite true, that RESISTANCE consumes energy. But in the ionization chemistry of the human body, it is the RESISTANCE between the orbiting anions and the orbiting cations that actually creates energy! If there is no resistance, then no energy is created. In chemistry, the measure of this RESISTANCE is known as "pH." But pH is neither a qualitative nor a quantitative measurement. It is just resistance.

Perhaps you should go back and read again the part about anions and cations before going on. Then I will show you why all this makes a vital difference in the struggle against disease.

Suppose, in theory, that you ate only foods or substances that contained cations. What would happen? With no anionic substances present, there would be no resistance. Remember, no resistance, Reference: Reams Biological theory of Ionization, www.newtreatments.org/

"Now Check what Dr. Wilhelm Reich says about this: An emotional armor materializes in the body in the form of a body armor, which is a blockade of life energy. So, the armor is deprived of life energy, orgone, or, as Reams says: There is more energy- need than energy- input..

Or: The anion- cation relation isn't balanced (urine and saliva pH not at 6.4)- > Not enough friction between anions and cations - - - > Energy deprivation !

Now check what Dr. Hamer says about this: A biological or emotional trauma causes a tumor on a specific location in the body, and also one in the brains, also on a specific location. Once the trauma is dealt with, the cancer will disappear.

When a person lacks energy, he can't produce enough energy (=orgone, life energy) due the unbalance between the anions and cations and thus the pH is too acid or too alkaline.. An orgone accumulator supplies this extra energy to the person, and a MWO probably also.

This extra amount of energy is then happily used by the body organs to regain health.. However, the cause is still there: An emotional or biological trauma (Reich, Hamer) or an overly acidified body (Reams).

So, we should see the energy medicine not neccesarily as a cure but more like this: Suppose we are a car and due to some cause (acidification due to bad diet or trauma) the energy levels are suppressed..

Both the OrgoneAccumulator and the MWO are like a battery- charger and supply us with extra 12V power, so we can again run the startmotor, the fuel- pump, etc. However, the situation hasn't changed yet and the car still has a defective dynamo and over time the problems will reappear.... That is, until the dynamo (the ratio of anions to cations) is repaired.." Reams Biological theory of Ionization http://www.newtreatments.org/ 26

no energy. Suppose, in theory, you consumed only anionic substances. Where would you get the cations to create the energy? You would not have any! In the practical considerations, it is not possible to have only anions or only cations present. However, it happens all the time with sick people that there are never enough anionic substances present to get for them the energy needed from the cationic foods that they have eaten.

Thus it is said that we "do not properly digest our food," or as some of the more recent writers on cancer So, in short: An anion, (like OH- ) can yield energy when it creates resistance with a cation, like H+.

For those who've had chemistry, you can see what the point is. The amount of OH- anions and H+ cations in a solution determine the acidity of the solution and thus the pH. As Enderlein showed, our body runs in perfect harmony with the protits when the pH is 7.4, which is close to a neutral solution, so a perfect ratio of cations and anions and thus the perfect ratio to create the most friction and thus the most energy. At that point (blood pH 7.4), the saliva and urine pH is 6.4.

Without invasive tests we can determine the saliva and urine pH and our goal is to get it back to where it belongs: 6.4.

"The end result of Dr. Reams' discovering the part frequency plays in digestion of animals as well as plants was his discovery of how certain tests done on fresh samples of urine and saliva could reveal how the diet and lifestyle of humans needed to be altered to maintain good health and/or obliterate degenerative situations. That is to say, Dr. Reams discovered the biomathematical secret to manipulating the diet and lifestyle of a man, woman or child in order to know that the food energy was being put on the proper frequency for complete and ideal nutritional utilization.

Because health science does not acknowledge frequency as a critical aspect of digestive physiologic function, they will never understand the cause of degenerative disease. Without an understanding of frequency in digestion "health care" will never go beyond sick care — which translates into treating effects, using drugs, herbs, enzymes, vitamins or and other similar remedies. The need to address the cause in the care of dis- ease remains missing. As frequency is the key to understanding digestion, so is frequency the key to knowing, not guessing, about what is causing the human degenerative conditions. Dr. Carey A. Reams has left to the world a vital and life- giving legacy that has been not only misunderstood, but also largely ignored by both the allopathic as well as the naturopathic/alternative health disciplines (…)."

Diet: How can we make sure that our pH is and will stay perfect (blood pH 7.5, saliva and urine pH 6.4).

This can be done by proper diet. Reason dictates that natural, uncooked, unprocessed foods are the best. The Western diet is loaded with culprits: The worst ones are the refined sugars and the grains. We even drink huge amounts of pure acids, like Coca Cola. But beware, also coffee is very acidic. Most, if not all degenerative diseases in the Western world are caused by the consumption of excessive amounts of acidifying foods.

If your goal is to cure the disease and to stay healthy and sparkling with energy afterwards, you need to rethink your entire diet.

The anionic Lemon: Dr. Reams states that each and every food is cationic. There is only one exception: The lemon ("citroen" in Dutch), which is anionic. So, to metabolize our food, we need to produce anionic foods that balance the cationic foods we eat.

Otherwise we can't get any friction and thus no energy out of our food.

The liver: This is where the liver fits in. The liver produces huge amounts of bile to aid in the digestion of the food, but more important to balance the cations in the food with the anions in the bile. Besides that, the liver produces about 6 billion enzymes, which are used by the organs in our body. Let's take the Reference: Reams Biological theory of Ionization, www.newtreatments.org/

(‌) "Natural health, like allopathic disease treatment, is primarily guesswork and product driven, resulting in practitioners' ever stronger tendency to use shot- gun approaches and megadose the symptoms with the latest and greatest silver bullet formulas or inventions. Yet, as I heard Dr. Reams say so many times, "Why guess when you can be sure?"

What I have found in over a quarter century of working with Reams" Biological Theory of Ionization in human nutrition as well as agriculture, is that Reams actually discovered the foundation upon winch all systems of health practice, and the medicaments / cures they use, could be evaluated in reference to how they may or may not be of value in human health. It is my firm belief and conclusion that one cannot claim to be a "natural or alternative health practitioner" unless they truly understand the system of analysis Dr. Carey Reams left for us.

Reams" analysis is so vital to a alternative health practice that practitioners are only guessing without it. A practitioner who feels he knows everything without understanding Reams" Biological Theory of Ionization is making a "great mistake" as John Ruskin said, "Pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes."

pancreas as an example. The pancreas produces primarily three things: Insulin, alcohol and pancreatic enzymes that metabolize protein. Where does the pancreas get its input?

From the LIVER ENZYMES. Without the correct amount of liver enzymes, the pancreas can't do its job. Result: Diabetes (insulin), cold hands and feet (alcohol) and cancer (digestive enzymes). When any organ in your body is malfunctioning, you should always look at the liver first. If the liver was running at 100%, it would supply the right enzymes to all organs, so that the organs can heal themselves... i.e. this means: No kidney transplants are ever needed anymore. Problems with the thyroid or the adrenals?

Again: Check the liver!

Liver- regeneration protocol: The liver regeneration protocol is quite simple.

Feed it the only anionic food available on this planet: THE LEMON. Use a neutral non- anionic, non- cationic liquid as a medium: Distilled water fits in perfectly. The protocol is as follows: Make fresh lemon juice and add 9 parts of distilled water to the 1 part of juice, i.e. 4 ounces vs 36 ounces distilled water. Four ounces of the lemon- water solution each hour and Four ounces of plain distilled water take on the half hour.

Example: 9:00 4 ounces of lemon- water solution, 9:30 4 ounces distilled water, 10:00 lemon- water, 10:30 distilled water, 11:00 lemon- water, 11:30 distilled water, etcetera.

WARNING! THIS MUST NOT BE DONE BY ANYONE UNLESS IT IS DONE UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A DOCTOR TRAINED IN THE BIOLOGICAL THEORY OF IONIZATION. THIS MUCH LEMON WATER COULD BE FATAL TO ANYONE WITH EITHER A HIGH OR LOW BLOOD SUGAR. NEITHER THIS AUTHOR, NOR ANYONE ELSE, ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THOSE WHO ATTEMPT THIS LIVER REBUILDING TECHNIQUE ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT PROPER SUPERVISION. ABOUT ONE PERSON IN A THOUSAND HAS AN ALERGY TO THE JUICES OF THE LEMON.

Reference: Reams Biological theory of Ionization, www.newtreatments.org/

Why can it be fatal? It's because the pancreas gets a lot more enzymes that it was used too and all of a sudden starts to produce a lot more insulin. You can imagine what happens. When blood sugar levels fall too low, due to excessive insulin, you can fade or fall into a coma, which might very well prove to be fatal.

Anionic Minerals: While lemon is the only anionic food, calcium and potassium are the needed anionic minerals. If you don't eat enough mineral- rich organic foods, you will develop a deficiency of anionic minerals, which means you can't develop enough resistance with the cationic food, which means you can't produce enough energy. Energy starvation is what causes cancer. The best way to get the proper anionic minerals is to eat the widest possible variety of fruit and vegetables you can.

Sugar (again): Sugar (and grains) is one of the worst foods there is. White sugar depletes calcium from the body because it turns most easily into alcohol. Alcohol is the greatest enemy of calcium in the body chemistry. Now do you see the ionization connection between the high consumption of white sugar and cancer? Does white sugar cause cancer and other diseases? No, but it does drive out the anionic calcium that you are trying to accumulate from the foods, thus shifting the body chemistry enough so that proteins are not digested. If this goes on long enough, you will begin to lose energy and start to get sick. The shift in body chemistry can cause a host of problems, of which cancer is only one. For instance, it has never been known for a person who has sufficient calcium and whose blood sugar is not above normal, to come down with polio. Did I say that the white sugar in cookies was the cause of polio? No. But it does drive out calcium and if that person happens to be a borderline diabetic - Wham: Polio!

Pancreas rebuilding protocol: This is a very easy one. Get yourself a vegetablejuicer machine and make 4 ounces of juice twice a day. Use good green leafy vegetables. Again, use distilled water to make the juice.

Water: Water is very important for health. You should at least drink an ounce of water for each kilo (2 pounds roughly). So if you weigh 150 pounds, you should drink 75 ounces of water, which is about 2.5 liters. Please note there is a major difference in water qualities. The best water, according to Reams, is distilled water. The water should have the least amount of minerals (The Belgium Spa mineral water only has 30mg per liter).

Besides the zero- mineral content, the extra advantage of distilled water is the high energy. Dr. Beddoes says that water is the "wettest" of all waters.

Reams Biological Theory of Ionization (The following information was extracted from: Biological Ionization as discovered by Dr. Carey Reams (1904- 1987)

by Darlene Sartore for An Ever Better World Internet Academy, http://www.libertyzone.com)

Reams' Biological Theory of Ionization. RBTI is a working explanation of the fundamental ionic energy composition and function of biological life. RBTI offers a way to measure the energy in elements, compounds, and biological systems including humans. The loss of energy in humans is the beginning of disease... The purpose of RBTI is to analyze and identify previously unrecognized electro- biochemical dysfunctions, taking place within the human body, thereby allowing the creation of a perfect set of personal life- style recommendations that will address and reverse those unrecognized dysfunctional patterns. RBTI, when correctly applied, offers the highest potential for perfect health. RBTI testing is a non- invasive seven- part test completed on fresh samples of urine and saliva. There are six tests done on the urine sample: total carbohydrate, pH, conductivity, cell debris, nitrate nitrogen & ammonia nitrogen.

There is one test done on the saliva sample, which is the pH. It will usually take between 10 to 15 minutes to run the seven tests. Running the tests is not what takes the time. What takes the time and expertise is interpreting the test data correctly, followed with establishing individualized recommendations and providing a detailed explanation to the client. (‌) In response to prayers for a way to save a dying friend's son Dr. Reams said he was guided by God to devised "a mathematical formula for perfect health, based on the biophysical frequencies of living matter."...

In a nutshell, using the Reams Biological Theory of Ionization (RBTI) Testing, we can whether what we consume is beneficial or harmful to the cells of our body...

Dr. Carey Reams developed a Urine and Saliva Analysis that can be learned and done by anybody... This human testing system is derived from what is known as the Biological Theory of Ionization, which is the centerpiece of Dr. Carey Ream's soilhealth philosophy. He also perfected the use of a series of monitoring tools, which were to become integral components of his system. These tools included the LaMotte soil test, the refractometer, the conductivity meter and the electronic scanner. (Except for the scanner, searching the Internet will reveal sources where these other "tools" can be obtained.)

This Reams BTI Urine/Saliva Test uses pH strips, a sugar refractometer (as used by wine- makers) and salts conductivity meter instruments, to determine energy loss or gained from what is consumed... The urine and saliva screenings help a person determine the CAUSE of energy loss. (We live off energy from the food we eat.)... By monitoring the equation's numbers, it’s possible to determine which foods and/or supplements that should be added to an individual's diet to fit their exact body chemistry... Dr. Reams offers a common sense approach to nutrition that demonstrates how complex issues (i.e. health and longevity) can be reduced to easily understood, practical concepts and applications.

The Reams BTI Urine/Saliva Test reveals a Person's Body Chemistry...

Perfect Health Equation target numbers are:     

(a) Sugar 1.5 (measured by sugar refractometer = carbohydrate utilization) (b- c) urine pH 6.40 - - saliva pH 6.40 (reveals Cations & Anions Resistance) (d) urine Salt 6 - 7 C (e) urine Albumen .04M (reveals basic change of worn- out cells) (f- g) Urea 3/3 (reveals undigested Proteins)

This test yields information to analyze mathematically the Body's Chemistry and provides guidance for getting the Body Chemistry BALANCED.... Each number in the equation indicates specific information about the body... BUT it's the totality of the numbers together which reveal the most information about the body.... Whatever our age, the numbers should be the same as in the Perfect Health Equation.

What does this test reveal?     



Determines calcium needs for your body chemistry Tells what you are digesting or not digesting Tells if your body is assimilating nutrients Shows vitamin and mineral deficiencies Reveals if blood sugar is high, low or normal Will show if your body is supporting excess yeast candidiasis) or parasites

Sugar......

The Sugar test is made with a standard refractometer (such as used in winemaking) measures Sugar and ALL Carbohydrates in the Body - - i.e... Number of calories the body is operating on... This number indicates how well the body is handling carbohydrates consumed and whether or not the body is assimilating vitamin C...

Many people, who are thought to be Epileptic are actually experiencing LOW Blood Sugar, which can cause the Seizures! They can QUICKLY be brought to by putting Honey on the Tongue. LOW Blood Sugar is caused by the Pancreas manufacturing TOO MUCH Insulin. Some Carbohydrates cause the Pancreas to FLUSH out Insulin but, when REMOVED from the Diet, the LOW Blood Sugar Level is CORRECTED! The same is TRUE for High Blood Sugar Conditions. When the Body Chemistry is PROPERLY BALANCED, ALL of the numbers in the Equation are ALIGNED! pH......

The pH Testing Process includes testing of Urine and Saliva with pH Paper (which measures pH in 2/10ths increments) or an Electronic pH Meter twice a day for 3 days. This number indicates how well the body is using its energy supplies, and how well the body is eliminating what is left over after digestion. It indicates whether or not the body is putting in enough energy to replace what is being used up... The pH measures Resistance between Cations and Anions in the Body. If the pH reading is 6.40 for Urine and 6.40 Saliva, this shows the body is getting MAXIMUM Energy from food consumed... If the pH reading is consistently either HIGHER or LOWER than desired, then over time TOO MUCH energy is being LOST, allowing some of illness to begin.

183

How Energy is created from the food we eat is explained by the Biological Theory of Ionization.... The process of Ionization is a Law of putting things together and taking them apart ion by ion.... An "Anion" is an ion with a negative charge... A "Cation" is an ion with a positive charge.... Electrons in the outer orbit of an Anion move in a different manner from electrons in the outer orbit of a Cation... In the Human Body, resistance between orbiting Anions and Cations (obtained from Anionic and Cationic Foods) creates Energy.

Testing hundreds of Foods reveal that most Foods are Cationic.... FRESH Lemons and Liver Bile are Anionic.... Dr. Reams advocated drinking plenty of lemon water...

FRESH Lemon Juice is especially beneficial to the Liver.... Liver Bile in its purest state is diluted Hydrochloric Acid... FRESH Lemon Juice is Nature's diluted Hydrochloric Acid... The Liver can convert the components of fresh lemon into an amazing amount of different enzymes and vitamins. It's vital to have a healthy Liver, as it's commonly known that MANY diseases begin when the liver is not functioning properly.

Some minerals such as Calcium, Potassium, and Chlorine are Anionic... Mineral Deficiency causes Degenerative Diseases in the Cell Structure of the affected Organ or Gland... Calcium deficiency in the Liver reduces the of Anionic Bile needed in the Body, (thus affecting the pH Balance). Normal cells cannot be produced, or energy levels sustained, or premature cell death prevented (as seen in carcinoma and cancer). IF there are deficiency in the minerals required by a certain organ... Such as: potassium deficiency in the Brain...manganese deficiency in the Reproductive Organs... copper, iron, or zinc deficiency in the Colon... Also Fungus and Bacteria INVADE mineral deficient areas, and very quickly (like a ROTTEN Apple in a barrel of GOOD Apples) nearby healthy cells are weakened and begin dying and decaying creating toxins within the body.

SALT...

Urine Salts are measured with a standard conductivity meter...

Some bodies can cope with more salt than can others. Usually if the Salt shows 30 on the BTI test, the body is in DANGER of blood vessel and heart muscle damage.

ALL salts cause Blood Vessels to DILATE... If the Body retains TOO MUCH salt over a LONG period of time, Veins and Arteries LOSE their flexibility, leading to what is commonly termed "HARDENING" occurs...

Often retaining TOO MUCH salt cause Angina (pain in the chest)... Its HIGH salt levels, NOT Cholesterol, which causes Angina... But Cholesterol deposits are DANGEROUS because if a piece breaks free... it can plug vessels in the heart muscle... cause spasms as the heart muscle tries to pump blood around the obstacle... in attempting push the piece through sometimes a vessel will burst (aneurism = CVA stroke)... Early signs that salt is TOO HIGH for a body to cope with is Varicose Veins.

If the Liver is NOT functioning properly, a person can carefully AVOID salt, yet still have a HIGH salt level. As a result, TOO much salt is being stored in muscles and fatty tissues causing adverse conditions.

Salt substitutes are NO better, than regular table salt... Although DIRT FREE salt is proving to not produce adverse side effects or retention.

Albumen.....

The .04M in the BTI equation means 4 Million Particles per Liter. The NORMAL Albumen count is 40,000 per liter of urine per 100 pounds of Body Weight.

NO instrument is required for measuring Albumen which is the termed used for the solid particles in the Urine.... Hold a bottle of fresh urine to a strong light source...

The Urine should be CLEAR yellow with a FEW visible Particles that can be easily seen.... Many particles throughout the Urine, or cloudy masses, reveals the body is Reference: Biological Ionization as discovered by Dr. Carey Reams (1904- 1987) by Darlene Sartore http://www.libertyzone.com)

185

TOXIC and in NEED of immediate cleansing... These particles and masses are carcinoma cells... FOAM in the Urine indicates NOT enough water is being consumed.

Albumin is the measure of the amount of dead cells being eliminated. This should be a constant number. If the body is eliminating too many, the body is changing cells too quickly, and thus aging too fast.

Urea....

Urea is the undigested protein in the Body. If it registers HIGHER than 3/3 or a total of 6, there is too MUCH Urea in the Blood.

UREAS: This measurement indicates how well the body digests proteins, as well as whether or not too many proteins are being consumed. It also shows how efficiently the large and small intestines are eliminating waste materials.

High Urea can be caused by NOT drinking enough water or from drinking water with too MUCH nitrogen fertilizer run- off... The body needs half of its body weight in ounces of water each day... (i.e 100 pounds - 45 kg body weight, daily consume at least 50 ounces - 2.9 liters of water.)

Often high urea levels occur when the heart muscle consistently beats TOO HARD, not too fast! Common warning signs include: Fatigue after a normal amount of sleep... DEEP forehead wrinkles from tiredness tension.

Urea numbers can also test HIGH from eating what the Bible labels as "Unclean Foods" (i.e. swine, rabbit, and skin fish).... These foods digest too quickly for the body to cope; thus leading TOO MUCH Urea (WASTE Protein) entering the Bloodstream, overloading the Kidneys and over stimulating the heart muscle... HIGH Urea could be cause of sudden death in athletes!

Body Chemistry can be properly balanced.... Drinking Steam- Distilled Water washes salts and urea OUT of the Body along with other TOXINS, which usually collects muscles and joints.

Every Body NEEDS RAW Fruits and Vegetables daily.... Asparagus and Celery contain NATURAL Arsenic, which strengthens the heart muscle. Green Vegetable Juices strengthen the Pancreas. Eating a wide variety of Vegetables and Fruits supplies the MOST Minerals.

Refined products such as white flour and white flour, DEPLETE minerals from the body and energy reserves, the numbers reflect these conditions.

The Reams discoveries proved how certain principles of the life of plants and soil, also applies to humans and health.

Dr. Reams Process included:  Body Detoxification and Purification Procedure.  Body Biochemical Balancing, using Herbs, Minerals, and Supplements.  Simple Exercises for Lymphatic Function.  Special Foods for Cellular Regeneration and Maintenance.

When Dr. Reams Program is followed, very POSITIVE Results occurred!

As a result of applying the tests Carey Reams developed in the 1950s, he was prosecuted for practicing medicine without a license during the 1970s and hounded out of the U.S. A small number of "nutritionists" and other fringe practitioners use this Urine/Saliva test as the basis for evaluating a person's health and prescribing dietary supplements to fix it.

The most visible modern proponent of this test has been Gary Martin, who, during the 1980s, operated the American College of Nutripathy, a non accredited correspondence school that granted "degrees" in nutrition. One of the school's brochures Reference: Biological Ionization as discovered by Dr. Carey Reams (1904- 1987) by Darlene Sartore http://www.libertyzone.com)

187

described nutripathy as "the condensation of most all natural healing and counseling techniques available today.

Martin claimed that nutripathic tests could detect "imbalances which, if left to mature, must ultimately manifest as some form of disease process." and "discover the root cause of the disease while it is still in the prediagnosable stage."

According to Martin's book, Nutripathy: The Final Solution to Your Health Dilemma, the first three numbers represent sugars excreted in the Urine and the acidity (pH) of the Urine and Saliva, and indicate how much "energy input" you have. The other numbers, said to represent your "mineral salts index, urine debris index and nitrate nitrogens over the ammoniacal nitrogens index," indicate how much energy your metabolism is using. "A low energy input and high energy drain," says the book, "means degeneration, rot, decay and death." To fix these alleged problems, Martin and his followers offered a large variety of supplement products.

Some suggest NOT taking Nutritional Supplements until being tested....

"Because you may be UPSETTING your Body Chemistry by taking the WRONG Calcium's, for example. Many People are taking the "dirt" CHEAP Calcium Carbonate sold everywhere. However, their Body may NEED another Calcium, e.g. Calcium Gluconate, Calcium Hydroxide, Calcium Citrate or Calcium Lactate or ANY combination of the above. WITHOUT the Reams Biological Theory of Ionization (RBTI) testing, we don't know whether our Food and Supplements are helping or aggravating current maladies...they may even be contributing to deficiencies of other Nutrients.

MOST of us play a sort of "Russian Roulette" with our Supplements and Diets. We can END the "guesswork" by using Reams BTI Testing... You might have to do research to find a Tester, or invest the time and money to learn to be a self- tester...

by Richard A. Passwater (1999) Gerhard N. Schrauzer, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, and IABS is Professor of Chemistry at University of California, La Jolla); An authority on selenium, has credited Revici with "having discovered pharmacologically active selenium compounds of very low toxicity,"

Selenium, an essential trace mineral, is a recently discovered anti- cancer agent.

When a tiny amount (1- 4 ppm) is added to the diet of lab animals, it PROTECTS against a wide variety of carcinogens.

Many studies have also been made of the ability of selenium to protect people from toxic, cancer- causing substances.

For a number of years in the 1970s, Dr. Schrauzer studied the relationship of selenium to human cancers.

As reported in a number of professional journals, he

"An epidemiologist, Raymond Shamberger, listed cancer rates in the states and major cities of America.

Then he listed them again, according to the amount of selenium available in the diet.

The two matched inversely. The more selenium in the diet, the lower the levels of cancer - Archives of Environmental Health, 31:231- 35, 1976) (…)

"In another study, this one of W.C. Willet, the serum selenium levels and risk of cancer, of over 10,000 men and women, were evaluated. Those with the lowest selenium levels had twice the risk of developing cancer" - Lancet, 2(8342):130- 33,1983) (…)

Similar research of the 24 regions of China were done, with approximately the same results. It should be noted here that glutathione peroxidase is one of the most important antioxidant enzymes in our immune system. This enzyme protects the body against the destructive effects of hydroxyl free radicals,—yet glutathione peroxidase is selenium dependent. If there is a lack of that vital trace mineral in the tissues, this crucial enzyme will not be produced. This enzyme is also an important anti- cancer factor. It should also be mentioned that selenium and selenium- containing compounds tend to bind with heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.) and carry them out of the body. Research studies reveal that exposure to even low levels of those metals can seriously deplete selenium and eliminate its anti- cancer power."

repeatedly found that it was highly effective as a CANCER- PREVENTIVE AGENT. As a result of his research, Schrauzer was able to show that, for maximum protection, selenium should be given to a person from his earliest years.

This is because even small children are now contracting cancer—and selenium only protects against cancer before the malignancy gains a foothold in the body! But, if given all along, if a tumor begins, the selenium, if continually given, will RETARD TUMOR DEVELOPMENT. Selenium is a non- accumulating trace mineral; and other research by Schrauzer revealed that, if in midlife the selenium intake is stopped, tumor proliferation will rapidly increase. Therefore do not stop taking it!

What would be the proper dosage amounts for selenium?

One study in China reported that a daily dose of 500 mcg of selenium over a period of several years is safe for healthy adults. Higher dosages for normal people could be toxic, but are necessary in the treatment of cancer.

Schrauzer reported that dosages of 2,000 to 5,000 mcg per day will produce toxic symptoms after several months.

Selenium supplementation, baseline plasma selenium status and incidence of prostate cancer: an analysis of the complete treatment period of the Nutritional Prevention of Cancer Trial.

"OBJECTIVE: To present the results (to January 1996, the end of blinded treatment) of the Nutritional Prevention of Cancer (NPC) Trial, a randomized trial of selenium (200 micro g daily) designed to test the hypothesis that selenium supplementation (SS) could reduce the risk of recurrent nonmelanoma skin cancer among 1312 residents of the Eastern USA (…).

RESULTS: SS continued to significantly reduce the overall incidence (relative risk and 95% confidence interval) of prostate cancer (0.51, 0.29- 0.87). The protective effect of SS appeared to be confined to those with a baseline PSA level of <or= 4 ng/mL (0.35, 0.13- 0.87), although the interaction of baseline PSA and treatment was not statistically significant. Participants with baseline plasma selenium concentrations only in the lowest two tertiles (< 123.2 ng/mL) had significant reductions in prostate cancer incidence. A significant interaction between baseline plasma selenium and treatment was detected.

CONCLUSION: To the end of the blinded treatment the NPC trial continued to show a significant protective effect of SS on the overall incidence of prostate cancer, although the effect was restricted to those with lower baseline PSA and plasma selenium concentrations."

Nutritional Selenium Supplements: Product Types, Quality, and Safety

overlooked, no instances of fatalities resulting from excess selenium have ever been reported.

Robert C. Donaldson was a St. Louis oncologist who decided to carry out research into the dosage amounts for selenium. In doing so, he made an important discovery: In most of his patients, the giving of normal doses of selenium (the amount healthy people should take as maintenance doses) did not produce much of an in- crease in the blood levels of cancer patients. They were in such a nutrition- starved condition, that they needed far more!

He found that very high oral doses must be given, before the blood level of selenium came up. He finally determined that, in nearly every case, he had to give 1,000 to 2,000 mcg of selenium daily until the blood levels came up, and then drop back down to a maintenance dose.

In one unusual case, Donaldson found it necessary to give 2,700 mcg/day for two months, followed by six weeks of 5,000 mcg/day before the blood level came up.

It should be understood that normal people would find such high dosages far too high, and the above- mentioned toxic symptoms would result, indicating that they must reduce their daily intake amount.

"Selenium supplements contain selenium in different chemical forms. In the majority of supplements, the selenium is present as selenomethionine. However, in multivitamin preparations, infant formulas, protein mixes, weight- loss products and animal feed, sodium selenite and sodium selenate are predominantly used. In some products, selenium is present in protein- or amino acid chelated forms; in still others, the form of selenium is not disclosed.

Current evidence favors selenomethionine over the other forms of selenium. Extradietary supplementation of selenium at the dosage of 200 micrograms per day is generally considered safe and adequate for an adult of average weight subsisting on the typical American diet.

The typical American diet provides the average adult with about 80 to 150 micrograms of selenium per day, which is more than the newly revised RDA for selenium of 55 Îź [1], but less than one half of the amount considered optimal for utilization of the protective potential of selenium, especially for cancer prevention [2,3].

Accordingly, extradietary selenium supplementation is increasingly recommended by health professionals (â&#x20AC;Ś)".

In all of this, keep three facts in mind: (1) The toxic symptoms are easily recognized, and therefore unlikely to ultimately produce dangerous results.

(2) Selenium very quickly leaves the body, so reducing the daily intake quickly normalizes the amount in the system.

(3) For that reason, stopping the intake entirely can actually be very dangerous (…).

A study (one done in Finland and reported in 1984) found that subjects with serum selenium levels of less than 45 mcg/liter had three times the risk of developing cancer as subjects with serum selenium levels greater than 45 mcg/liter.

"(…) Pending the outcome of ongoing human cancer prevention trials, selenium supplementation is likely to be officially recognized as a means of lowering cancer risk.

These developments raise the question as to which form of selenium is the most desirable for supplementation. In addition, the quality and safety of the selenium supplements become matters of concern."

methods and tried to elucidate the difference between the foliage and soil of healthy, symptomfree potatoes and those of sock potatoes suffering from leaf roll virus infection. This research seemed to be extremely important since all living organisms gain their nutrients from the soil (with the exception of some microorganisms), the plants absorb the nutrients from the soil, the animals consume the plants and the humans are eating both.

During my research I came to the conclusion that there is a significant difference between the METABOLISM of healthy and infected potatoes that might be due partly to the excess of certain macro elements and partly to the lack of certain micro elements. It is well known that generally the farm yard manure has been used as fertilizer before the Second World War all over the world as well as in Hungary and thus the natural replacement of nutrients was secured. The farm yard manure was to be considered as fertilizer of full value and the plant cultivation has not impoverished the soil as much as when the synthetic fertilizers became customary.

The excess of certain macro elements (like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) results in the increased absorption of certain micro elements as the plants need balanced nutrition. For some time the yields increased but later - in spite of the higher macro element supply the potato deteriorated biologically.

This observation is of utmost importance because the nutrition of both humans and animals is of plant origin and the quality thereof is determining the metabolism of the human organism.

As it is well known, the organic compounds in the Palaeozoic era had been formed through the arrangement of adequate chemical and physical circumstances in the mineral sphere. This means that the micro and macro elements are of BASIC SIGNIFICANCE in the genesis of life. In the course of life the inevitable change of the ratio in the above mentioned elements leads to disturbance in the biological equilibrium and to certain defects as a consequence.

To illustrate the above theory the following example could be mentioned: in scientific circles the deterioration of the potato was attributed to the leaf roll virus infection. This was supported by the observation that the peach green- fly aphis is carrying this virus Refernce: Interview with Dr. Joseph Beres, KISVARDA, HUNGARY, 1991, www.whale.to

from the ill plants to the healthy ones and its offspring show the symptoms of the viral disease. In my opinion the deterioration was caused by the disturbance of the turnover of minerals. The two theories could be coordinated by the supposition that pathogenic agents have to be present in all living organisms, but this is followed by the pathogenic symptoms only in case of disturbed metabolism and decreased resistance. These pathogenic agents utilize the damaged internal conditions of the organism; they proliferate and induce their characteristic symptoms.

My research gave satisfactory results as I succeeded in proving the role of mineral nutrients in the development of pathogenic symptoms. This could be achieved by planting one half of a given seed- potato into healthy soil, and the other half into soil known for being deficient in minerals. The results confirmed my theory as healthy, fertile potatoes were harvested from the former and deformed, infected, infertile ones from the latter soil.

Out of the many examples gathered during my experiments I would like to mention the following important one. There were two chicken- breeding farms at the two different ends of a small village near my home town. The eggs laid by the hens of the first farm were infertile in 85- 90%, while the eggs of the other farm Refernce: Interview with Dr. Joseph Beres, KISVARDA, HUNGARY, 1991, www.whale.to

were fertile in 90- 95%. Before analyzing the eggs I inspected both farms and noticed the only difference was that, although the same feed was used in both farms, the hens of the farm producing fertile eggs were also driven out to the pasture, whereas the birds of the other farm were kept in closed breeding system. In my opinion the hens could complement their feed on the pasture by taking the biologically vital elements serving an explanation why their eggs were more fertile and their baby chicks more healthy and resistant. Analyzing the eggs of the two farms afterwards a significant difference was found between the mineral constituents of the eggs (e.g. the quantity of zinc was 24.8 micrograms % in the healthy eggs and lower than 9 micrograms % in the infertile ones).

Through these observations I came to the conclusion of utmost importance that the shortage or the lack of micro elements and the excess of macro elements or the contrary thereof lead to the DISTURBANCE OF METABOLISM and the decreased function of the immune system or to decreased resistance in case of plants. Hence, mineral elements, from which all living organisms draw, have key importance in vital processes.

In my further experiments I found micro organisms with greenish- yellow fluorescence in the intercellular ducts and cells of plants suffering from leaf- roll virus infection. These agents, in spite of the death of the plant tissues, survived and were further multipliable in appropriate cultures. The number of these micro organisms in one microliter of the squeezed juice of the badly infected plants, could be measured by the million, and although these micro- organisms are also present in healthy plants, their number is negligible (i.e. some tens or hundreds/micro- liter).

I carried on with my experiments in animals. The basis of these experiments was the observation that in the province Nyirseg, its soil known for lacking certain colloids and iodine, the frequency of endemic goiter and consequent nervous diseases is low. On the other hand goiter is endemic sometimes also in areas where the waters and the soils are Refernce: Interview with Dr. Joseph Beres, KISVARDA, HUNGARY, 1991, www.whale.to

198

rich in iodine. Consequently, the hypothesis that this disease occurs mainly in areas poor in iodine might not be valid. In the course of analyzing the thyroids I succeeded in isolating a micro organism that proved to be iodine- elective and withdraws the iodine from its environment.

I was trying to identify and control these results in animal experiments, as well.

When the extract containing these micro organisms were mixed with the feed of mice, goiter developed regularly. The same micro organisms were found also in the thyroids of human patients suffering from goiter.

Analyzing archived data concerning the mortality caused by malignant tumors in Kisvarda and Zahony (my home town), I found that approximately 80% of the cases occurred in specific areas where the soil and the water were extremely rich in lime, phosphorus, potassium and in nitrogen at certain places. Based on this discovery I used surplus quantity of phosphorus, calcium, potassium and nitrogen in the feed of mice.

Injecting the above mentioned micro organisms under the skin of the left hind leg of mice provided with this feed, to my surprise not always goiter but in several cases tumors of the breasts or subcutaneous tumors were developed. After the histological examination these pathological alterations proved to be malignant tumorous growths. The observation offered an essential proof of the presence of factors in our environment that may overturn the homeostasis and lead to the development of tumors.

During my studies I compared the analytical results of different soils and foods of plant origin and came to the conclusion that during the past 20- 25 years their composition changed significantly. As an example I would like to mention that 45- 50 mg of vitamin C could be detected in 100 gms. potato 30 years ago, whereas nowadays this quantity lowered to 15- 20 gms. potato. In the meanwhile the preservation period of potato shortened considerably and the mineral constituents thereof also changed.

Refernce: Interview with Dr. Joseph Beres, KISVARDA, HUNGARY, 1991, www.whale.to

199

My further studies included the analysis of the water of wells in the neighboring villages and it was found that nitrites, nitrates and nitrogen derivatives were present in the water which has never been detected earlier. On analyzing the composition of the surface soil it could be observed that during the past 20 years substantial differences developed in its mineral constituents. According to my hypothesis these differences were probably due to the fact, as mentioned earlier, that when nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium were used as fertilizers almost exclusively, and the plants were striving at getting harmonized nutrient supply by absorbing the available micro elements gradually, the surface soil became impoverished in certain micro and macro elements; at the same time other macro elements occurred in excess quantity. This disturbed equilibrium of elements is of enormous importance from a future point of view.

In possession of this data I started meditating on the reason why the mortality caused by cancer became nowadays the second most frequent cause of death in Hungary, whereas it used to be on the 12- 15th place before the 2nd World War. By no means could this be attributed to change in genetic features as these kinds of alterations can develop not even in a millennium. The 4 decades after the war were too short to bring significant alterations in the characteristics fixed genetically. However, our environment, our alimentation, our way of life, the quality of our food changed significantly. Numerous examples can support this theory. Certain methods of preservation were developed, traffic increased enormously, H- bomb experiments are continued, atmospheric conditions also changed above our heads, not to mention the increased contamination of our food. The number of smokers also grew significantly in Hungary (first of all in the circle of women), the consumption of alcoholic drinks became very popular, as well. Thus, as many unfavorable effects influence our organism from different directions, and our biological features cannot follow these rapid changes. It results in the disturbed

Refernce: Interview with Dr. Joseph Beres, KISVARDA, HUNGARY, 1991, www.whale.to

200

equilibrium of our organism which becomes unable to perform the functions necessary to lead normal life.

My studies were appreciated by some scientists, and they offered to send cancerous and healthy tissues of human origin in order to perform my comparative examinations. It was the only way to achieve further results. I could isolate the same pathogenic agents in the cancerous human tissues as in the cells of plants and animals. I realized that these micro organisms become visible only after the exhaustion of nutrients and reach the stage where they are indestructible. As a rule the scientists carry out their experiments among conditions when the nutrient supply is still near to normal and therefore these hiding micro organisms could not be detected by them (except for some cases).

I continued my work with experiments on cultures. Adding certain minerals to the cultures, the pathogenic agents isolated earlier from cancerous tissues stopped multiplying.

Thus I recognised that the special combinations of 12 different substances of mineral origin are needed to inhibit the proliferation of the former micro organisms. These same substances proved to have an IMMUNE STIMULATING effect, as well.

Based on all these observations I formulated a liquid combination of 17 components (mainly the micro elements missing from "civilized" nutrition). The quantity of the different constituents is low (similar or less than the values accepted as RDA values of FDA recently). The relatively great number of components in the DROPS can be explained by the theory that the order in the organism has to be restored at several points of attack concomitantly, at the same time certain components had to be included to inhibit the proliferation of pathogenic agents and to maximally stimulate the immune system.

Having completed the final composition of my drops I succeeded in having it patented through great efforts. At that time (1976) it was difficult in Hungary for private persons to file a patent application. I had to accumulate data on numerous patents Refernce: Interview with Dr. Joseph Beres, KISVARDA, HUNGARY, 1991, www.whale.to

201

according to the guidelines of the experts on the Patent Office. For this reason I met and treated approximately 300,000 patients. Based on the records of these patients I made evaluations and set up groups of diseases where I found the drops effective. The data could have been accumulated much faster and more easily, if there had been institutional clinical trials ordered by the health authorities. Unfortunately I had to do everything on my own, because my work had not been supported either by governmental or health circles (moreover it was even oppressed at times).

Further, I would like to list the diseases where my drops proved to be effective.

First of all I have to stress that in cases of both tumorous and other diseases, the outcome of the treatment largely depends on the time when the treatment began. The Drops are most effective when applied for prevention or in the preliminary stage of any disease.

In these cases the drops are normalizing the disturbed equilibrium of the organism thus supporting or stimulating the function of the immune system and mincing the human organism to fight the disease.

From different kinds of malignant tumors good results were achieved in the following cases: mammary cancer, cancer of the prostate, testicles, rectum, ovaries, uterus, larynx, brain tumors, malignant melanoma, Hodgkin's disease. (However, tumoors with poor vasculation, e.g., tumors of the bones, sarcomas, lymphoadentises, neuroblastomas, etc. do not show satisfactory improvement.) In the case of leukemias the blood picture of the patient shows fast and lasting improvement, the number of white blood cells decreases to the normal value, the number of platelets increases. Although I did not deal with diseases of different origin, patients and doctors using the Drops observed that they are effective in the following cases as well: lack of appetite, disorder of digestion, fatigability, weakness, insomnia, enfeeblement, persisting headache, anemia, menstrual and menopausal problems, nausea, asthmatic diseases, bronchitis, child retention problems in pregnancy, cervical lesions, frequent subfebrility and developmental anomalies in Refernce: Interview with Dr. Joseph Beres, KISVARDA, HUNGARY, 1991, www.whale.to

children, certain types of diabetes in children and adults, persisting diarrheas of nonbacterial origin, vasoconstriction and hypertension, non- traumatic epilepsy, ulcers, arthritis, haemorrhoidal disease, aphtha, pemphigus and multiple sclerosis.

The Drops can help 65- 70% of the patients suffering from these diseases. Out of this group of patients about 30- 35% will be capable of going back to work and lead a normal life. In the case of the remainder (approximately 35%) the question of going back to work does not arise partly because of their advanced age, partly because of the permanent damages caused, e.g. by operations.

I consider the immune system as the GREATEST POWER OF MANKIND maintaining the human life on earth. If the conditions necessary for the normal functions of the immune system are not secured, life could be endangered. The Drops is a preparation that contains constituents indispensable for the normal life functions, metabolism and immunity. The resistance of the organism can be destroyed not only by external factors, but also by treatments used in the traditional therapy of tumorous diseases (chemotherapy, irradiation). In such cases the Drops are able to protect the organism from different kinds of infections. I have to emphasize repeatedly that the Drops should be applied rather for prevention than for therapy, as everybody involved in biological sciences is aware how much easier it is to prevent than to cure any disease.

I hope that my work will serve the interest of the whole of mankind and that there will be many experts and scientists who would recognize its essence and importance. I have always tried to point out the harmful effects of the failures of civilization and the necessity to change the way of life altogether. It is obvious that mankind needs civilization, but not through destroying its biology. I believe that this process has started already in Hungary, and my work and Drops will become known and acknowledged all over the world. Many scientists realize nowadays that the use of synthetic medicines should be replaced by other methods in the future. Instead of intervening drastically into Refernce: Interview with Dr. Joseph Beres, KISVARDA, HUNGARY, 1991, www.whale.to

the function of the organism by using the traditional medications mentioned above, only the disturbed homeostasis should be restored.

In full awareness of the above factors I have the strong belief that the Drops will be one of the most winning factors in the protection and preservation of the health of mankind and that it will be acknowledged worldwide within a short period of time."

Can a healthy diet be sufficient in today's world?

(The following information was excerpted from: Soil Mineral Depletion, Can a healthy diet be sufficient in today's world? By Lyn Hernan, http://melhernan.blogspot.ie/) 27

There was a time when simply eating a healthy diet and avoiding all anti- nutrients ensured that we got all the minerals needed to stay healthy - research today shows that this may no longer be the case as the nutrient content of our food is on the decline.

Soil is the prime source of minerals on which every living cell depends for its structure and function. Vitamins, enzymes, amino acids (protein) and a host of other biologically active substances are essential for our bodies to function properly. They virtually all include minerals as an integral part of their chemical structure. Dr. Linus Pauling, twice noble prize winner, said "you can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency". Yet, all over the world, minerals are disappearing from agricultural soils at an alarming rate. In 1992, the official report of the Rio Earth Summit concluded "there is deep concern over continuing major declines in the mineral values in farm and range soils throughout the world". This statement was based on Chart: Eighty- Year Decline in Mineral Content of One Medium Apple, Nutrition Security Institute 25

205

data showing that over the last 100 years, average mineral levels in agricultural soils had fallen worldwide â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by 72% in Europe, 76% in Asia and 85% in North America.

What has caused this staggering decline?

Most of the blame lies with artificial chemical fertilizers. We now know that plants absorb 70 to 80 different minerals from the soil, while the number returned to it by plants grown with commercial fertilizers can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Every crop that is cut or animal that is sent to market marks a further depletion in the mineral status of the soil on which it was raised. Organic wastes that in former times would have been composted and returned to the land are nowadays mostly consigned to landfill sites or incineration.

There are many other ways in which the move to chemical farming prevents crops from taking up even the sparse amounts of trace minerals left in the soil. Soil contains bacteria, fungi, plant and animal life, in a state of constant interaction and balance. Every one of these organisms needs dozens of different minerals to survive and play its part in the ecosystem. Some bacteria have a vital role in converting soil minerals into chemical forms that plants can use.

NPK fertilizers (fertilizers used in modern farming that only contain nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) gradually change the soil pH towards acidic conditions in which these bacteria can not survive. To combat soil acidification farmers lay lime on the land adding back calcium and magnesium to raise the soil pH, but it also converts manganese and some other trace minerals into chemical forms that plants are unable to absorb.

Pesticides and herbicides also reduce the uptake of trace minerals by plants. Plants have an important relationship with certain fungi that can form networks covering several acres. The fungus obtains carbohydrates from the plant root, at the same time supplying the plant with nutrients it draws from the soil. This gives the plant access to a Reference: Soil Mineral Depletion, Can a healthy diet be sufficient in today's world? By Lyn Hernan, http://melhernan.blogspot.ie/

206

vastly greater mineral extraction system than is possible by their roots alone. Chemical fungicide sprays destroy these beneficial fungi and so again reduce the ability of plants to absorb soil minerals. Insecticides can also reduce trace mineral uptake by inactivating choline- containing enzymes in plants, essential for the absorption of manganese and other minerals.

The combined effect of soil mineral depletion and the reduced availability of those minerals that remain is that most of the food that we eat is mineral deficient.

The table below summarizes the reductions in the average mineral content of 27 vegetables and 17 fruits, between 1940 and 1991. The results of the latest research are expected to show mineral values in continual decline.

Fruit - 29% - 19% - 16% - 16% - 24% - 20% - 27%

The UK government is putting resources into improving health by encouraging people to eat a healthy diet, including 5 portions of fruit and vegetables per day, but you scarcely hear a word about the problem of soil mineral depletion. Food seems to be considered as something quite separate from its source and means of production.

Cancer- associated malnutrition.

ArgilĂŠs JM. "Malnutrition is a common problem among patients with cancer, affecting up to 85% of patients with certain cancers (e.g. pancreas). In severe cases, malnutrition can progress to cachexia, a specific form of malnutrition characterised by loss of lean body mass, muscle wasting, and impaired immune, physical and mental function.

Cancer cachexia is also associated with poor response to therapy, increased susceptibility to treatment- related adverse events, as well as poor outcome and quality of life. Cancer cachexia is a complex, multifactorial syndrome, which is thought to result from the actions of both host- and tumourderived factors, including cytokines involved in a systemic inflammatory response to the tumour.

Early intervention with nutritional supplementation has been shown to halt malnutrition, and may improve outcome in some patients. However, increasing nutritional intake is insufficient to prevent the development of cachexia, reflecting the complex pathogenesis of this condition.

Nutritional supplements containing antiinflammatory agents, for example the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) eicosapentanoic acid (EPA), have been shown to be more beneficial to malnourished patients than nutritional supplementation alone. EPA has been shown to interfere with multiple mechanisms implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer cachexia, and in clinical studies, has been associated with reversal of cachexia and improved survival."

"Cancer- associated malnutrition can result from local effects of a tumour, the host response to the tumour and anticancer therapies.

Although cancer patients often have reduced food intake (due to systemic effects of the disease, local tumour effects, psychological effects or adverse effects of treatment), alterations in nutrient metabolism and resting energy expenditure (REE) may also contribute to nutritional status.

Several agents produced by the tumour directly, or systemically in response to the tumour, such as pro- inflammatory cytokines and hormones, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of malnutrition and cachexia. The consequences of malnutrition include impairment of immune functions, performance status, muscle function, and quality of life.

Dr. Johanna Budwig was born in Germany. She devoted her life to research on cancer and was often referred to as the top cancer research scientist in Europe.

She was also a biochemist and physicist who was a leading authority on fats, oils, and nutrition.

For her research and practice, Johanna was nominated for six or seven Nobel Prizes, but was kept from receiving any of them by the German pharmaceutical and medical industries that subjected her to endless vilification and harassment and blocked publication of her writings and clinical studies.

"What she (Dr. Johanna Budwig) has demonstrated to my initial disbelief but lately, to my complete satisfaction in my practice is: CANCER IS EASILY CURABLE, the treatment is dietary/lifestyle, the response is immediate; the cancer cell is weak and vulnerable; the precise biochemical breakdown point was identified by her in 1951 and is specifically correctable, in vitro (test-tube) as well as in vivo (real)..." - Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP Oncologist and former cardiologist in 1990 513 "Of all the nutritional theories that I have investigated, Dr. Johanna Budwig's is definitely number one ...

Nowhere in the world have I found not even remotely such fantastic cases as with Dr. Budwig. It's phenomenal."

- Lothar Hirneise, eminent German cancer researcher and author of `Chemotherapy Heals Cancer and The Earth Is Flat` "Over 50% of Dr. Budwig's patients were doctors or relatives of doctors who knew why in such a serious disease they would rely on the experiences of this brilliant physicist, chemist and pharmacologist rather than follow the prevailing opinion which says that tumors must be destroyed through chemotherapy and radiation." - Cancer - The Problem and the Solution "I have the answer to cancer, but American doctors won't listen. They come here and observe my methods and are impressed. Then they want to make a special deal so they can take it home and make a lot of money.

Dr. Budwig, with outstanding academic credentials in chemistry, pharmacy, and physics, undertook exhaustive and original research (including years of clinical trials) which definitively PROVED that unheated and unprocessed FLAXSEED OIL (or linseed oil, same thing) could provide the body with essential fatty acids that would replenish the loss of critically needed phosphatides and lipoproteins in the body of cancer patients which were ALWAYS found to be grossly deficient or completely absent. Blood analysis of late stage cancer patients, any pathologist will affirm, will reveal a greenish yellow substance in place of normal, healthy red oxygen carrying hemoglobin. Dr Budwig found that after approximately 3 months of taking flaxseed oil daily, the cancer tumors gradually receded and the greenish yellow substance in the blood was replaced by healthy red blood cells with a concurrent rise of phosphatide and lipoprotein levels.

Dr. Budwig succeeded in a profound discovery that eluded even the great German cancer researcher and Nobel laureate, Dr. Otto Warburg. In the 1930's, Dr Warburg was attempting to abort the cancer growth mechanism by stopping the fermentation process in

"Dr. Johanna Budwig is rightly known far beyond the borders of Germany. Her ingenious, simple, and effective oil- protein diet has found adherents throughout the world and it has helped many people to particularly better deal with their cancer illness.

I had the great good fortune of spending many days in discussion with her over a period of several years, of being able to study her extensive case histories, of giving joint presentations with her, and of thus gaining an understanding of nutrition for myself that extended far beyond that which I was previously able to find in the usual literature. But what was most convincing to me in my activity on the executive board of Menschen gegen Krebs (People Against Cancer) in Germany was the oil- protein diet.

Hardly a day goes by when I do not talk with people on the phone who have changed their diet along the guidelines provided by Dr. Budwig. I am party first- hand to how successful this nutrition therapy is. I consciously use the term nutrition therapy and not cancer diet because I think it would be an injustice to Dr. Budwig to not to distinguish her scientifically grounded oil- protein therapy from all the diets that are offered around the world.

For me the oil- protein diet always serves as the basis of a cancer therapy and please understand that I am not just simply writing this, but that I have carefully chosen my words, as I have become familiar with more than 100 different alternative cancer therapies in recent years, and I have investigated many of them. When Dr. Johanna Budwig died the cancer scene lost one of the last great scientists of the last century, and it behoves each of us to carry her legacy to future generations, so that they as well can profit from the oil- protein diet." - Lothar Hirneise 509

cancer cells. He was experimenting with Butyric acid, a saturated fat, to increase oxygen transfer into the cancer cells, but as he wrote in his lab journal, he was unable to achieve the "desired and expected effect of respiration stimulation". Dr Budwig, with a greater understanding of quantum mechanics, discovered that saturated fats like Butyric acid, lacked the "pi- electron shells" that were needed to provide the higher energy levels necessary to effect oxygen transport. Electrons increase their energy state by absorbing photons and release (transfer) energy by emitting photons. She found that unsaturated fats were the key to obtaining pi- electrons and that flaxseed oil, with its two unsaturated essential fatty acid components, linolenic and linoleic acids, provided a rich abundance of high energy pi- electrons. The molecular configuration of flaxseed oil, with its two unsaturated fatty acid components composed of three pi- electrons double bonds between atoms of the molecule is capable of transferring immense amounts of energy. This electron configuration can be also found in carotene, saffron, and other plants. The processing or heating of flaxseed oil, however, would prevent this energy transfer from occurring, so it was absolutely necessary to use cold pressed, unprocessed oil (this would later lead to

In a 1994 study of 121 women with breast cancer, those in more advanced stages whose breast cancer had spread to their lymph nodes showed the lowest levels of omega- 3 fatty acids in the breast tissue.

After 31 months, the 20 women who had developed metastases had significantly lower levels of these EFAs (Essential fatty acids) than those who didn't. Another study out of Boston University using the same type of tissue profiles that were used in the breast cancer study demonstrated that patients with coronary artery disease likewise had, low levels of EFAs. Quote excerpted from Whale.to 524 "Our immune system, which is vital for destroying cancer cells, requires EFAs, vitamins C, B6, and A, and zinc to function, and requires an exceptionally rich nutrient supply of ALL essential nutrients for its high level of complex cellular activities. Deficiencies of EFAs and toxic, man- made synthetic drugs that intefere with essential fatty acid functions can create the conditions of fatty degeneration collectively known as cancer." - Erasmus 524 Dr Rudin believes the Omega 3 story parallels the story of Beriberi & Pellagra.

problems for Dr. Budwig with the commercial cooking oil/fat industries in Germany).

The presence of high energy pi- electrons found in the two fatty acids of flaxseed oil, allows the body much greater assimilation and transport capacity of OXYGEN which enhances the normal metabolic requirements of oxidation and detoxification of cellular waste. These unsaturated fatty acids also repair and restore the lipid membranes of all cells in the body, improving intra and extracellular osmotic potentials and mineral balances. These two marvelous fatty acids, linolenic and linoleic acids are found in very high concentrations in flaxseed oil. They are essential ingredients in many important bodily functions including the production of prostaglandins, which play a major role in the inflammatory response of the body to injury and disease; enzyme activity of the brain; the clotting mechanism of blood; blood flow and blood pressure; repair of injury to the inside walls of arteries; prevention of the aggregation of platelets in the blood which minimizes plaque formations and clots and a host of other functions.

"[To understand pH and Cancer Dr. Warburg discovered that cancer cells only thrive in a low- oxygen state.

When your body cells and tissue are ACIDIC (below pH of 6.5 - 7.0), they lose their ability to exchange oxygen, and cancer cells are able to thrive. On the other hand, when your body cells and tissue are ALKALINE (above pH of 7.0) cancer cells find it difficult to survive because of the high amount of oxygen present. Alkaline tissue holds 20 times more oxygen than does acidic tissue and this oxygen rich environment prevents further cancer cell growth. In a pH of 8.0 or greater, cancer cells and cancer- causing pathogenic microbes (viruses, bacteria, fungus) cannot survive."

Science Daily: New Pilot Study Suggests Flaxseed And Low- Fat Diet Can Be Protective Against Prostate Cancer by Durham, N.C. "The researchers said dietary fat and fiber can affect hormone levels and may influence cancer progression.

Flaxseed is high in fiber and is the richest source of plant- based, omega3 fatty acids. Studies suggest that dietary fiber reduces cancer risk, and omega- 3 fatty acids also have shown a protective benefit against cancer.

Flaxseed is also a rich source of lignan, a specific family of fiberrelated compounds that appear to play a key role in influencing both estrogen and androgen metabolism.

"We thought flaxseed would be the perfect food for prostate cancer patients," said lead author Wendy DemarkWahnefried, associate research professor in the department of surgery at Duke. "It’s full of omega- 3 fatty acids, fiber and lignin (…).

At the end of the study, the researchers observed that the men on the diet had significant decreases in cholesterol, and both total and free testosterone. While there was a decrease in testosterone levels, they noted that none of the participants in the study suffered decreased libido or sexual dysfunction (…).

"It’s not surprising that a diet therapy that was only taken for an average of 34 days had little effect on men with aggressive disease," DemarkWahnefried said. "But what we did see was that for the men on the diet, their tumor cells did not divide as quickly and there was a greater rate of apoptosis (tumor cell death) in this group.""

(…) Dr. Budwig discovered the blood of those with cancer always had gross deficiencies of phosphatides and lipoproteins, while healthy persons did not have this deficiency. This deficiency resulted in reduced oxygen levels in the cells. Normal cells only become cancer cells when they have these reduced oxygen levels.

Dr. Budwig then developed a simple diet to reoxygenate the body’s cells. She discovered the saturated fats we were using in our Western diets did not contain pi- electrons. Pi- electrons are like spark- plugs for our cells to help them to "breathe" properly. Pi- electrons allow the body’s cells to assimilate and transport oxygen, and to detoxify cellular waste. Dr. Budwig discovered the best source of Pi- electrons was found in two unsaturated fatty acids of flaxseed oil.

These unsaturated fatty acids (linolenic and linoleic), not only re- oxygenate the body’s cells, they also repair and restore the lipid membranes of all cells in the body, and they do this by replenishing the loss of critically needed phosphatides and lipoproteins that are always – as stated earlier – grossly deficient in cancer patients.

Flaxseed Stunts the Growth of Prostate Tumors By Duke Medicine News and Communications DURHAM, N.C. - - Flaxseed, an edible seed that is rich in omega 3fatty acids and fiber- related compounds known as lignans, is effective in halting prostate tumor growth, according to a study led by Duke University Medical Center researchers. The seed, which is similar to a sesame seed, may be able to interrupt the chain of events that leads cells to divide irregularly and become cancerous.

"Our previous studies in animals and in humans had shown a correlation between flaxseed supplementation and slowed tumor growth, but the participants in those studies had taken flaxseed in conjunction with a low- fat diet," said Wendy DemarkWahnefried, Ph.D., a researcher in Duke's School of Nursing and lead investigator on the study. "For this study, we demonstrated that it is flaxseed that primarily offers the protective benefit."

The researchers will present their results on Saturday, June 2, during a news briefing at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, in Chicago. The multisite study, which was funded by the National Institutes of Health, also involved researchers at the University of Michigan and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In the study, the researchers examined the effects of flaxseed supplementation on men who were scheduled to undergo prostatectomy - surgery for the treatment of prostate cancer (…). - Durham, N.C., Duke Medicine News and Communications, Duke University Health System 515

But there was one problem. How could Dr. Budwig get the unsaturated fatty acids of the flaxseed oil into the cells of cancer patients? Only water- soluble solutions can enter cells, and oil, however fantastic it is, is not water- soluble and therefore cannot enter our cells.

After many years of clinical research, Dr. Budwig found that by combining flaxseed oil with the sulphurated amino acids found in cottage cheese – the flaxseed oil would become water- soluble, and immediately available for use by the body’s cells.

What has also recently become apparent is just how important the cottage cheese is in the Budwig Cancer Diet. Not only does the cottage cheese make the flaxseed oil water soluble to re- oxygenate the body’s cells to prevent cancer mutations, it contains two ingredients that fight cancer in the best possible way.

THE FIRST ingredient is SULPHUR. Sulphur helps to DETOXIFY the body and PREVENT the growth of cancer cells. According to the National Cancer Institute sulphur compounds make cells vulnerable to the stress created by products of cell division. Because cancer cells divide very quickly, they generate more stressors than most normal cells.

The men took 30 grams of flaxseed daily for an average of 30 days prior to surgery. Once the men's tumors were removed, the researchers looked at tumor cells under a microscope, and were able to determine how quickly the cancer cells had multiplied.

Men taking flaxseed, either alone or in conjunction with a low- fat diet, were compared to men assigned to just a low- fat diet, as well as to men in a control group, who did not alter or supplement their daily diet. Men in both of the flaxseed groups had the slowest rate of tumor growth, DemarkWahnefried said. Each group was made up of about 40 participants.

Study participants took the flaxseed in a ground form because flaxseed in its whole form has an undigestible seed coat, she said. Participants elected to mix it in drinks or sprinkle it on food, such as yogurt.

"The results showed that the men who took just flaxseed as well as those who took flaxseed combined with a low- fat diet did the best, indicating that it is the flaxseed which is making the difference," Demark- Wahnefried said. Flaxseed is thought to play a part in halting the cellular activity that leads to cancer growth and spread.

One reason could be that as a source of omega- 3 fatty acids, flaxseed can alter how cancer cells lump together or cling to other body cells, both factors in how fast cancer cells proliferate, Demark- Wahnefried said. The researchers also suspect that lignans may have antiangiogenic properties, meaning they are able to choke off a tumor's blood supply, stunting its growth (…).

The other important ingredient in the WHEY (the liquid part) of cottage cheese is dextrorotatory lactic acid. This positive form of lactic acid – when given in high doses - NORMALIZES the cell’s pH to healthy levels of around 7.4pH. Normalizing pH of the body’s cells is critical in cancer recovery.

SECONDLY, normalizing the pH balance also stimulates adrenaline production, preventing a buildup of glucose in cells. Preventing this glucose build- up in cells is critical in cancer recovery, as viralbacterial- yeast- like fungus feed on and ferment glucose, breaking the cell’s Krebs (oxygen) cycle, causing cells to mutate into cancer cells. [See the Cancer Chain of Events] THIRDLY, dextrorotatory lactic acid of the whey in cottage cheese neutralizes the toxic, levorotatory lactic acid of the tumor into a non- toxic, racemic form. This is of utmost importance, as it removes the stimulus for an increase in the cell division rate.

Fourthly, the whey of cottage cheese has powerful anti- microbial and anti- viral properties. Lactoferrin and lactoferricin in whey inhibits bacteria, yeast, fungi, and parasitic protozoa. As normal cells lose their ability to exchange oxygen due to the presence of viralbacterial- yeast- like fungus - causing them to mutate Reference: The Budwig Cancer Diet – What It Does, http://mygiftofcancer.wordpress.com/

"We are excited that this study showed that flaxseed is safe and associated with a protective effect on prostate cancer," Demark- Wahnefried said.

The researchers hope to next test the effectiveness of flaxseed supplementation in patients with recurrent prostate cancer, and ultimately to study its role as a preventative agent.

One out of six American men will develop prostate cancer. More than 218,000 men are expected to be diagnosed with the disease in 2007, according to the American Cancer Society, and about 27,000 will die from it.

Dr. Budwig recommends that you stay on the following diet for a minimum of 5 years. Dr. Budwig also advises that breaking the rules of this diet (such as eating preserved meats and sugar) may cause tumors to grow back rapidly worse.

Completely Avoid The Following: - Sugar (including brown sugar) in all foods - Animal Fats - Salad Oil (including Mayonnaise) - Meats (especially preserved meats) - Butter and Margarine Other Dietary Notes: Freshly squeezed vegetables juices work well with this diet. Use carrots, beetroot, celery, and apple (to taste). There is no limit on the number of these juices per day. A warm herbal tea (3 times a day) is essential for this diet, such as Peppermint, Rosehip, Fennel, Grape tea, etc.

The Dr. Budwig Daily Dietary Plan Day 1 (only): Mix 250ml (8.5 oz) of Flaxseed Oil with honey together with freshly squeezed or blended fruit juices.

Do NOT use juice from the supermarket. If the person is very ill, you may use Champagne in place of the juice, as the Champagne makes it easier for the body to assimilate the oil and will re- energize a very sick person.

An animal experiment showed that "Angiogenesis is important in tumor growth, progression and metastatic dissemination. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one key factor in promotion of breast cancer angiogenesis. VEGFs are bioactive in the extracellular space where they become available to the endothelial cells. Phytoestrogens such as lignans have been shown to alter breast cancer incidence and be cancer- protective in rats. We show that supplementation of 10% flaxseed, the richest source of mammalian lignans, to nude mice with established human breast tumors reduced tumor growth and metastasis.

Moreover, flaxseed decreased extracellular levels of VEGF, which may be one mechanistic explanation to the decreased tumor growth and metastasis.".

An animal experiment testing "[s]uppression of tumor growth and metastasis by dietary fish oil combined with vitamins E and C and cisplatin" concluded that "Diets enriched with omega- 3 PUFA may have beneficial anticancer effects in particular when containing only basal amounts of antioxidants such as vitamin E or C. Furthermore, the addition of drugs which promote oxidation of omega- 3 PUFA, such as ferrous salts (e.g. as prescribed for the treatment of anemia), may further increase these effects. However, the supportive effect of omega- 3 PUFA in chemotherapy (e.g. with CP) increases when vitamins E and C are also included".

Dr. Karmali in New York has been a leader in research into the relationship between the essential fatty acids and cancer.

The story of omega- 3 is a fascinating one; here it is: There are three types of fats: saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated. Two of the polyunsaturated fats are ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS which the body must have from outside sources, because it cannot make them itself. These two are omega- 3 (alpha- linolenic acid) and omega- 6 (linoleic acid).

"The association between fats— meaning saturated, refined w6s (Omega 6), rancid fats, processed oils, and altered fats- - - and cancer, (but excluding w3s and fresh, natural, unrefined oils) has long been documented. (They) interfere with oxygen use in our cells. Heat, hydrogenation, light, and oxygen produce chemically altered fat products that are toxic to our cells….These fats kill people. Healing fats in cancer include…… w3s (Omega 3s), enhance oxygen use in cells, decrease tumour formation, slow tumour growth, decrease tumour formation, decrease the spread of cancer cells (metastasis), and extend the patient’s survival time.

Unsaturated fatty acids in fresh, unheated oils are antimutagenic….W9, w6, w3 are all effective. Saturated fatty acids to not have this protective ability. Heating these oils above 150C makes them lose their protective power, and they become mutation- causing. ALL mass market oils except virgin olive oil have undergone heating during deodorization…When we use virgin olive oil or other unrefined oils for sauteeing, frying…we overheat them, destroying their protective, antimutagenic properties.

ALL hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated products have also been overheated.." - Udo Erasmus (Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill).

Karmali discovered that the ideal ratio is 1 to 1; that is, for optimum health and cancer- protection, the body needs an equal amount of omega- 3 and omega- 6.

This is extremely important information, in light of the fact that the standard American diet contains a 1 to 20 ratio of omega- 3 to omega- 6.

Most foods contain far more omega- 6 than omega- 3. To make matters worse, food processors purposely try to rid food of omega- 3! This is due to the fact that omega- 3 is highly unstable and quickly becomes rancid; whereas omega- 6 and arachidonic acid (a member of the omega- 6 family) are quite stable.

But, of them, only omega- 3 protects against cancer and fights it when it arrives.

In his book, The Omega- 3 Phenomenon, Dr. Donald Rudin says that in the last one hundred years, there has been an 80% decrease in the amount of omega- 3 in our diets.

Prostaglandin production by the body is dependent on obtaining these two omegas. Lacking a proper balance, platelet stickiness occurs in the blood, causing blood clots and heart attacks. Arachidonic acid, a member of the OMEGA- 6 family, can promote tumor formation, cell proliferation, metastasis, and suppression of the immune surveillance system.

"Numerous, independent clinical studies published in major medical journals world wide confirm Dr. Budwig’s findings….Over 40 years ago Dr Budwig presented clear and convincing evidence, which has been confirmed by hundreds of other related scientific research papers since, that the essential fatty acids were at the core of the answer to the cancer problem…You will come to your own conclusions as to why this simple effective prevention and therapy has not only been ignored—it has been suppressed! - Dr Willner, M.D., Ph.D. (The Cancer Solution).

The importance of the ratio of omega- 6/omega- 3 essential fatty acids by A.P. Simopoulos Abstract: Several sources of information suggest that human beings evolved on a diet with a ratio of omega- 6 to omega- 3 essential fatty acids (EFA) of ∼ 1 whereas in Western diets the ratio is 15/1–16.7/1. Western diets are deficient in omega- 3 fatty acids, and have excessive amounts of omega- 6 fatty acids compared with the diet on which human beings evolved and their genetic patterns were established. Excessive amounts of omega- 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and a very high omega6/omega- 3 ratio, as is found in today’s Western diets, promote the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, whereas increased levels of omega- 3 PUFA (a low omega- 6/omega- 3 ratio) exert suppressive effects.

"In the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, a ratio of 4/1 was associated with a 70% decrease in total mortality. A ratio of 2.5/1 reduced rectal cell proliferation in patients with colorectal cancer, whereas a ratio of 4/1 with the same amount of omega- 3 PUFAhad no effect. The lower omega6/omega- 3 ratio in women with breast cancer was associated with decreased risk. A ratio of 2â&#x20AC;&#x201C;3/1 suppressed inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and a ratio of 5/1 had a beneficial effect on patients with asthma, whereas a ratio of 10/1 had adverse consequences.

These studies indicate that the optimal ratio may vary with the disease under consideration. This is consistent with the fact that chronic diseases are multigenic and multifactorial.

Therefore, it is quite possible that the therapeutic dose of omega- 3 fatty acids will depend on the degree of severity of disease resulting from the genetic predisposition. A lower ratio of omega- 6/omega- 3 fatty acids is more desirable in reducing the risk of many of the chronic diseases of high prevalence in Western societies, as well as in the developing countries, that are being exported to the rest of the world."

EPA and DHA, is all we have available to us—yet it is EXCELLENT. Heat, light, and oxygen will all rapidly cause flaxseed oil to become rancid. Here is how to use it: Purchase it only in black, opaque plastic bottles, and only from a health- food store which keeps it refrigerated. Take it home and keep it home; and pour some into a smaller, clean jar (such as a pint Kerr jar), and place that in the refrigerator. Put the larger container in the freezer.

Never use it in cooking or baking. When you are ready to use it at mealtime, take the small jar from the refrigerator and pour a little on your food or, better, into a spoon and put it into your mouth along with some food. Then return the jar to the refrigerator. Flaxseed oil is somewhat thick, but has a remarkably nutty, nice flavor. Taking basic antioxidants with that meal (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta- carotene, and selenium) will help protect the body against internal lipid peroxidation.

There are no side effects, other than possible rancidity effects, which are slight.

„The discovery of Dr. Siris remains forgotten."

(~ 1980 AD) E.S. Siris, M.D. Nuttshell: In clodronate (a variant of Calcium), we have a chemical that is not natural to the body. Yet it has only minor side effects.

(The following information is excerpted from: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA) 1

Dr. Siris is one of the pioneers in working with clodronate in the treatment of certain forms of cancer.

Clodronate is a member of a group of chemicals called the bisphosphonates. They are structurally similar to the pyrophosphates which occur naturally in the bones and body fluids (plasma, urine, and saliva). It is the task of pyrophosphates to regulate calcium balance. This involves building new bone and reabsorbing old bone.

The bisphosphonates can also regulate calcium and bone development. But, because of the carbon atom in their molecules, they are very versatile. Of them, clodronate, with its two chlorine atoms attached to the carbon atom, has the highest biological activity of any bisphosphonate.

Clodronate is given to treat bone cancer.

Because clodronate attaches itself to calcium, it is able to stop the osteoclasitc activity of bone resorption. Bone cancer is an excess resorption Reference: Alternative Cancer Remedies – Facts for Historians and Medical Researchers by Vance Ferrell, Pilgrims Books, 1998 USA

Reduction in New Metastases in Breast Cancer with Adjuvant Clodronate Treatment Study by Ingo J. Diel, M.D., ErichFranz Solomayer, M.D., Serban D. Costa, M.D., Christina Gollan, M.D., Ronald Goerner, M.D., Diethelm Wallwiener, M.D., Manfred Kaufmann, M.D., and Gunther Bastert, M.D. "Background: Bisphosphonates are effective against the increased bone resorption caused by certain diseases because they inhibit the activity of osteoclasts. In patients who have breast cancer and metastatic bone disease, the bisphosphonate clodronate (clodronic acid) reduces the frequency of skeletal complications. Experiments in animals and preliminary clinical observations indicate that early clodronate therapy reduces the incidence of new bony metastases in breast cancer. We investigated the effects of clodronate on the incidence and extent of new metastases in patients with breast cancer.

Methods: Between 1990 and 1995, 302 patients with primary breast cancer and tumor cells in the bone marrow (the presence of which is a risk factor for the development of distant metastases) were randomly assigned to receive clodronate at a dose of 1600 mg per day orally for two years (157 patients) or standard follow- up (145 patients). The median length of observation was 36 months. All patients in both groups received standard surgical treatment and customary hormonal therapy or chemotherapy.(...)

(elimination) of bone tissue, and clodronate stops this wasting away and normalizes calcium and bone levels.

Radiation can reduce the pain of bone cancer, but it does not stop the disease. Chemotherapy does not work either. But clodronate has been found to be VERY USEFUL. Clodronate normalizes the level of calcium in the blood, prevents hypercalcemia, stops the spread (metastasis) of cancer to new areas, and retards or reverses the growth of existing metastases. It also reduces bone pain and the likelihood of fractures. As of the mid- 1990s, over 30 research and clinical studies of clodronate had been made. Here are the results of one of them: Twenty- seven patients with malignant bone disease (hypercalcemia) were given intravenous injections of clodronate. Within two days, serum calcium levels had significantly decreased, by the fourth day, 89% (24 patients) had reached normal calcium levels. No other chemical compounds (including calcitonin, glucocorticoids, mithramycin, and prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors) accomplish what clodronate can do in treating bone cancer. Bone cancer generally begins as the result of metastasis. Cancer somewhere else (breast, prostate, etc.), when it begins to spread, may enter the bones.

"(...) Results: Distant metastases were detected in 21 patients in the clodronate group and in 42 patients in the control group (P<0.001). The incidence of both osseous and visceral metastases was significantly lower in the clodronate group than in the control group (P=0.003 for both osseous and visceral metastases). Six patients in the clodronate group died, as did 22 in the control group (P=0.001). The mean number of bony metastases per patient in the clodronate group was roughly half that in the control group (3.1 vs. 6.3).

Conclusions: Clodronate can reduce the incidence and number of new bony and visceral metastases in women with breast cancer who are at high risk for distant metastases."

metastasis spreads to the bones. Clodronate is produced under the trade name of Bonefos by the Leiras Corporation, in Finland. It is approved for use in 25 countries, but not in the U.S. But Americans can order a three- month supply by mail. Side effects tend to be mild, short duration, and easy to manage. They include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Lowering the dosage generally solves the problem. Three cases of kidney failure have been reported.

The dosage is as follows: A single daily intravenous infusion of 300 mg (1 ampule), for three to five days (but sometimes ten days). This generally returns the calcium level to normal.

Thereafter, the patient can be maintained with oral clodronate. This is 1,600 mg to 2,400 mg daily, in two or three equal doses. (In advanced cases, the initial dose may be 3,200 mg daily.)

Sometimes treatment of mild cases is begun with oral doses, with no preliminary injections. The initial dose is 3,200 mg daily, which is reduced as the calcium level improves. From that time onward, the maintenance dose of 1,200 mg daily is generally adequate. (This translates to one 400- mg capsule taken 30 minutes before each of the three meals.)

Since this substance binds with calcium, it must not be taken with calcium- containing foods or liquids. For this reason, it is always given 30 minutes before the meal begins.

If, bone scans reveal that there is sufficient improvement, the dosage can be reduced to two 400- mg capsules twice a day. After six to nine months, it may be possible to reduce this to one 400- mg capsule daily.

The taking of clodronate must not be terminated, but continued the rest of the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. No change was made in the diet or way of life, so one would expect the cancer to immediately return as soon as the Clodronate was stopped.

He stayed there until he was 10 years old; after that the family moved to Tokyo, where he graduated from the Imperial University of Tokyo, Faculty Jurisprudence, in 1932. In the spring of 1934 he was sent to Berlin as the representative of Okura trading Co., Ltd. He matriculated at the polytechnium in Charlottenburg, Reference: Miracle Cure Organic Germanium by Dr Asai, www.regenerativenutrition.com/

"I sometimes am reminded of the blind patients that often came to my office.

There were diseases of the retinal blood vessels, such as glaucoma, black cataracts, detached retinas, inflammation of the retina and optic nerves, and without exaggeration, I can say that it was amazing how effective germanium had been. 1 often witnessed scenes where patients wept as they cried out, "Now I can see."

Those who could not see would invariably say, ''If 1 could only see again, Doctor, I would give anything.

If it were money I would even go into debt to pay for it. I cannot understand the psychology of people who know the joy of seeing, and yet do evil things and are greedy. There can be no greater happiness in the world than being able to see. . .: During the International Angiological Congress, I met a professor of ophthalmology at the State Medical College of Rio de Janeiro. He wrote that using the germanium compound on a patient virtually blind with amaurosis yielded amazingly good results, and that the patient was well on the road to recovery. It had already been verified that germanium rejuvenates retinal vessels, and is therefore effective in treating glaucoma and amaurosis. His letter has added new evidence of its efficacy" - Dr Asai.

The Lourdes water in France has been found to be high in both hydrogen peroxide and germanium. This observation of course, offers one possible material explanation of why Lourdes water is well known in the treatment of cancer.

Berlin, in 1940, where he studied mining and metallurgy, for four years. He stayed in Berlin till its fall to the Russian army in 1945. He returned to Japan in July 1945 and established the Coal Research Institute, where he studied with several assistants the nature of coal in Japan. The institute has been instrumental in introducing steel beams and columns to replace wooden beams and columns in coal mines in this country. His research at the institute led to the discovery of germanium in coal and the extraction of germanium from coal gas waste liquid.

In 1953 he represented Japan at the International Congress on the Study of Coal Structure. The same year he was appointed to teach the subject of coal petrology at the Second Engineering Department at Tokyo University and at the Science Faculty of Kyushu University. In 1957, he was awarded the Purple Order of Merit for his various achievements in the field of technical development. In 1962 a doctorate for technology by the University of Kyoto was conferred on him. In 1967 he received an award by the fuel Association (…).

"In November, 1967, a member of my research staff who stayed on, walked into the room holding a test tube of white powder. Raising it slowly, and with an expression on his face which radiated the whole room, he uttered the words I had been waiting ten years to hear. "Dr. Asai, the water- soluble organic germanium compound has at last been synthesized." For the first time in my life I shed tears of joy in deep silence as a man in ecstasy. They were tears of almost religious exaltation. The event proved to me that all of man's struggles are not in vain.

The organic germanium compound synthesized on that day has changed my life, and as I hope you shall see, has done something good for everyone who has come in contact with it." - Dr Asai in his ‘Miracle Cure Organic Germanium’ 1980 GE- 132: Anti- Cancer Properties and why more Studies have not been Performed!

"The literature demonstrating its anticancer effect is particularly strong: CEGS induces interferon- gamma (IFN- gamma), enhances natural killer cell activity, and inhibits tumor and metastatic growth–effects often detectable after a single oral dose. In addition, oral consumption of CEGS is readily assimilated and rapidly cleared from the body without evidence of toxicity."

(…) In the 1960s Dr. Asai synthesized Germanium- 132 (Ge- 132) in Japan, but it was not until the 1980s that it was extensively researched and used.

While searching for better ways to mine and use coal, he discovered fossilized plants in the coal deposits.

Analyzing them, he found substantial amounts of germanium. Having heard something about Russian research into its remarkable healing properties, Asai decided, when he retired in 1969, to spend the rest of his life researching into this trace mineral. He found that it was true that the substance had unusual powers, yet it cost too much to extract from natural plant sources, in the quantities needed to treat cancer. So Asai developed a method for producing an organic germanium- 132, which was chemically identical to the form extracted from plants. The chemical name for this substance is bis- carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide. It is of special interest that many of the most important healing herbs contain significant amounts of germanium: garlic, comfrey, ginseng, and aloe. Asai found that the amount of germanium in the plant varied according to the amount in the soil, and that adding more to the soil improved plant growth.

Germanium deficiency symptoms include: Asthma, Cancer, Cataracts, Nephritis, Neurotic disorders, Softening of brain tissue, Leukemia, Neuralgia, Cardiac insufficiency, Hypertension, Hepatic cirrhosis Foods high in Germanium include: Aloe Vera, broccoli, celery, garlic, shitake mushrooms, onions, rhubarb, sauerkraut, spinach, beet greens, mustard greens, tomato juice, chlorella, all chlorophyll rich foods and the herbs aloe vera, comfrey, ginseng and suma.

"Germanium- 132 is a semiconductor, with electrical properties between those of a metal and an insulator. It helps correct distortions in the electrical fields of the human body. Germanium132 is greatly important to our program because it dramatically improves cellular oxygen (as previously mentioned, Cantron works better in the presence of oxygen).

According to the ‘Nutrition News,’ "All diseases are attributable to the deficiency of oxygen. The danger of oxygen deficiency in the body can not be overemphasized." Germanium- 132 greatly enriches oxygen in the living body. It raises the level of activity of various organs by enabling them to attract more oxygen and expels harmful pollutants and pathogens as well.

Germanium- 132 improves the health of the arteries and has a normalizing effect on blood pressure and serum cholesterol levels.

It is imperative to take the non- toxic organic form Germanium132 (germanium sesquioxide) as opposed to other forms of Germanium which could have toxic effects." - Medical

Research Products, Florida, USA www.cantron.com, 38

Because germanium, like silicon, is a SEMICONDUCTOR, Asai theorized that its remarkable healing properties are due to the fact that it enables a plant to convert energy from sunlight into electricity. This energy is used to break water into hydrogen and oxygen. Carbon dioxide (taken in by the plant from the air) combines with the hydrogen to produce carbohydrates. The oxygen is given off into the atmosphere. Because each atom of organic germanium is bonded to three atoms of oxygen, it is an efficient carrier of oxygen, and helps substitute for oxygenation in living tissues. This is significant, since Otto Warburg discovered that cancer cells do not metabolize oxygen well. An excess of germanium in the system, provides a sizeable additional amount of oxygen in the body.

The germanium helps carry oxygen to the cells, and thus offset the damage to them from free radicals—which produced oxygen starvation in them.

But germanium does even more: It increases NK (killer) cell activity. It NORMALIZES and STRENGTHENS the immune system. It RESTORES the normal function of T- cells, B- lymphocytes, and antibody- forming cells. It stimulates the body’s production of interferon, without producing the side effects of other substances which stimulates that production.

against asthma, diabetes, hypertension, neuralgia, cardiac insufficiency, hepatic cirrhosis, softening of the brain, and several cancers (leukemia, lungs, bladder, breast, and larynx). It even helped with heavy metal poisoning, high blood pressure, arthritis, vision problems, and some types of depression.

—Yet it does all this while having extremely low toxicity. By the 1980s, a sizeable number of other germanium studies were in progress, showing strong anti- cancer ability, with remarkably low side effects.

Germanium- 132 is available at this time in health- food stores as a nutritional supplement for oral consumption. Preventive doses range from 250 mg to 325 mg per capsule or tablet. In treating diseases, especially cancer, much higher daily doses are taken.

One example would be 50 mg/Kg/day orally. For a 110pound person, this would amount to 10 x 250- mg capsules (2.5 gm) per day. Higher doses are best taken under a physician’s care.

Introduction The tradition of Western medicine is now strong in Japan, and because I promulgate the theory of a common cause for all disease, I have incurred much opposition. Some doctors have even gone so far as to call for the eradication of this "amateur with no medical training who puts forth such irregular ideas."So, while hoping that germanium will bring about a radical change in the fundamental philosophy of life in the medical world, I am also aware that I am likely to be exposed to violent denunciations. In the Germanium Clinic which I supervise, no pharmaceuticals are used, only my organic germanium. Therefore, when a patient comes to the Clinic he receives a medical examination and the appropriate prescription of germanium is given. In spite of the fact that no additional medicine is given, people come daily from all over Japan, and close to twenty per Reference: Miracle Cure Organic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980.

"This paper reviews the history, chemistry, safety, toxicity, and anticancer effects of the organogermanium compound bis (2carboxyethylgermanium) sesquioxide (CEGS). A companion review follows, discussing the inaccuracies in the scientific record that have prematurely terminated research on clinical uses of CEGS. CEGS is a unique organogermanium compound first made by Mironov and coworkers in Russia and, shortly thereafter, popularized by Asai and his colleagues in Japan. Low concentrations of germanium occur in nearly all soils, plants and animal life; natural occurrence of the CEGS form is postulated but not yet demonstrated.

The literature demonstrating its anticancer effect is particularly strong: CEGS induces interferon- gamma (IFN- gamma), enhances natural killer cell activity, and inhibits tumor and metastatic growth- - effects often detectable after a single oral dose. In addition, oral consumption of CEGS is readily assimilated and rapidly cleared from the body without evidence of toxicity. Given these findings, the absence of human clinical trials of CEGS is unexpected.

Possible explanations of why the convincing findings from animal research have not been used to support clinical trials are discussed. Clinical trials on CEGS are recommended.

cent of them become so- called "germanium believers," continuing to take the compound over a long period.

Of course, the purpose of the treatment has already been achieved, but repeated use has not once caused any side effects or any other complaint up to the present time, nor do I expect any in the future.

On the other hand, requests from practicing physicians have greatly increased. Some of these doctors say that thanks to germanium, their patients are EXTREMELY GRATEFUL, and now without germanium they would be unable to continue their practice. The effect of the compound is so unlike that of any medicine heretofore discovered that I hesitate to call germanium a medicine. I would rather call it a HEALTH- GIVING SUBSTANCE - i.e., a substance which restores a condition of health to those afflicted with disease, and which sustains a condition of health in those who are healthy. The basis for this, first, is its seemingly UNIVERSAL APPLICABILITY and beneficial effect in the treatment of apparently ANY DISEASE in adults and children. Secondly, it is without the adverse effects associated with medicines as we know them. To my way of thinking there are three conditions for the treatment of disease which greatly

A study on Osteoporosis: Prevention of trabecular bone loss in the mandible of ovariectomized rats.

2004 Jiang G, Matsumoto H, Yamane J, Kuboyama N, Akimoto Y, Fujii A.

"The effect of therapeutic agents on trabecular bone loss in the mandible was investigated in ovariectomized rats. Eighty- seven Wistar SPF female rats were ovariectomized (OVX) or given a sham operation (Sham), and maintained on a diet containing 0.1% calcium. Four weeks later, groups of OVX rats were treated with estriol (E3), calcitonin (CT), etidronate, or 2carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide (Ge- 132). The Basal group was maintained on a diet containing 1.0% calcium, and the OVX and sham groups on a diet containing 0.1% calcium. The trabecular bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone mineral content (BMC) in 11 mandibular slices from 0.5 mm at the mesial margin of the first molar to 0.5 mm at the distal margin of the third molar, were measured using peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT). The BMD in the OVX group was lower than that in the Sham group, and decreased BMC was observed only in the molar region. BMD and BMC were increased in the etidronatetreated group, but only BMC was increased in the CT group. E3 treatment increased BMD and BMC; significant increases were also observed beneath the molar. Ge- 132 treatment increased both BMD and BMC, especially the latter."

affect recovery. These factors are supported by the latest advances in medical theory and endorsed by doctors working with the organic germanium compound.

The principles of natural law form the basis for my thoughts and medical techniques, such as biorhythm, as well as acupuncture and natural herb therapy may be used in conjunction with them.

The FIRST condition for insuring the recovery of a person afflicted with disease is that he must have a FIRM CONVICTION that he will recover. The expression "HEAVEN HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES," should not be taken lightly. To a certain extent, the patient must become his own doctor in order to give full play to the healing powers of the body by personal involvement in the treatment. Underscoring this idea is the theory of electric potentials of as diseased organ as it related to stress as a cause of disease. Just as stress can be said to cause cancer, ulcers, and other diseases, the stress or strain developed in these particles cannot be reversed if the strain is not eliminated by restoring harmony of the MIND. Biorhythm healing methods rely on just this sort of harmony.

Cancer Reviews: Germane facts about germanium sesquioxide: II. Scientific error and misrepresentation.

J Altern Complement Med. 2004 Kaplan BJ, Andrus GM, Parish WW. "The preceding paper reviewed the anticancer properties and safety of bis (2carboxyethylgermanium) sesquioxide (CEGS). An examination of those data leads one to question why this information has not stimulated clinical trials in patients with cancer.

The answer is discussed in this paper, which traces the history to an error published in the scientific literature in 1987. The reliance by subsequent authors on secondary sources, citing only the error and not the correction published in 1988, constitutes part of the explanation of why CEGS has been neglected. A second factor is also considered: careless reporting about any germanium- based compound as if the many thousands of germanium compounds were all the same. This combination of a publication error, careless writing, and the reliance on secondary sources appears to be responsible for the neglect of the potential clinical use of this unique germanium compound."

- The SECOND condition is the maintenance of proper diet. As mentioned previously, maximum effort should be made to maintain a balanced DIET to prevent the blood from acidity, which happens if there is an excessive intake of hydrogen ions which consume the body oxygen and literally pollute the blood. The only way we can keep our blood clean and guarantee good health is by maintaining a PROPER ACID- BASE BALANCE. - The THIRD condition, a synthesis of the above two, is not a continuous combustion process to develop an oxygen deficiency. We remain alive because there is a continuous combustion process within the body to supply life sustaining energy, a process in which OXYGEN plays the main role. If no effort is made to maintain a healthy mind and body by avoiding stress and an imbalance diet, an OXYGEN DEFICIENCY will result. The main factor involved in the curative effect of germanium is the life style of the individual. Thus, on an individual basis success of treatment can be interpreted to be anywhere from 100% to 0, depending on how well the patient follows the conditions of treatment.

Usually, DISEASE is the result of an unbalanced diet or excessive mental stress, which may result from excessive worrying, lack of spiritual direction, among other factors. For successful treatment such adverse conditions must be eliminated.

After all, what is the use of giving a person medicine if he insists on poisoning his system? If these conditions are met, I have no doubt that the germanium compound will cure the majority of cases of diseases which heretofore have been classified as showing poor response to medical treatment. Considering the nature of the substance - one which heals by instituting a condition of health throughout the whole body, (as opposed to substances which are used in specific treatments) every effort must be made to give full play to the body's own HEALING POWERS. Jules Henri Poincare has said that truth was no more than a hypothesis by which the greatest number of facts were explained under the simplest principles and without contradictions.

neuralgia, leukemia, softening of the brain, myoma of the uterus and hepatic cirrhosis. If a line that runs through the many cases of cure taken as isolated points should be found and an hypothesis known to be true should be set up, I should say that ALL DISEASES are attributable to DEFICIENCY OF OXYGEN. The dangers of an oxygen deficiency in the human body cannot be over- emphasized. I am not particularly trying to take a leaf out of a wise man's book by saying that "a balanced diet is an iron rule for staying healthy." This has been the cardinal principle of Oriental medicine and has been well recognized by modern Western medicine.

Germanium greatly enriches oxygen in the living body. Everyone knows that oxygen is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL for sustaining life.

Germanium and Plants In terms of plant biology, when water is broken down into oxygen and hydrogen by this method, oxygen is discharged from the plant and hydrogen combines with the carbon of carbon dioxide absorbed by the plant to form carbohydrate. In effect, this means that in the process of assimilation plants produce starch sugar

cytotoxic activity of macrophages in mice, enhanced T- lymphocyte rosette formation in guinea pigs exposed to cyclophosphamide, and stimulated the production of thyroid hormones in rats.

These mechanisms may contribute to the anticarcinogenic action of the ginseng drugs. The organic germanium compounds present in panaxel and panaxel- 5 did not potentiate the anticarcinogenic or immunostimulatory effects as much as biogeinseng. Preliminary clinical trials with panaxel and bioginseng were carried out in patients with precancerous lesions of the esophagus and endometrium. Panaxel was found to have a strong therapeutic effect in patients suffering from chronic erosive esophagitis. Bioginseng induced the regression of adenomatous- cystic hyperplasia of the endometrium in some patients. Thus, we conclude that the drugs of ginseng appear to hold considerable promise for future cancer chemoprevention."

electrochemically from water only, a fact which seems to verify that germanium or some other semi conducting substance is essential to the growth of plants. In fact, although in quantities which vary a great deal from plant to plant, all plants seem to contain germanium.

Observing such phenomena, I was astonished at how the LAWS OF NATURE seemed to support the hypothesis that germanium plays a very important role in relation to biochemical life.

Discoveries lending verification, however, followed in rapid succession. I was further surprised to find that the plants containing unusually large quantities of germanium were without exception those valued as Chinese medicinal herbs. This discovery renewed my admiration for the accumulated wisdom and experience of Oriental medicine with its 2,000- year history, and added to my incentive to uncover the biochemical effects of germanium. My first steps were to measure the germanium content of those plants reputed to have beneficial effects in the treatment of malignant tumors.

Miscellaneous: An observation of antiproliferative effect of germanium- 132 on cultured pterygium fibroblasts. Zhonghua Yan Ke Za Zhi. 2000 Liu Y, Sun X, Li B, Wang J. "OBJECTIVE: To detect the antiproliferation of carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide (Ge- 132) on fibroblasts of pterygium in vitro and try to find a potentially effective agent for treatment of primary pterygium and prevention of its postoperative recurrence.

METHODS: Primary culture and subculture of pterygium fibroblasts were established in vitro. Different concentrations of Ge- 132 (39 - 5,000 mg/L) or mitomycin- C (3.13 - 4.00 mg/L, the control) were added to the fibroblast culture of the third or forth passage respectively. The inhibitory effect was determined by MTT (tetrazolium bromide) method. The influence of addition of Ge- 132 on the growth curve of fibroblasts was observed, and the changing expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in fibroblasts was studied by immunohistochemical method.

RESULTS: The addition of Ge- 132 in the culture caused significant inhibition of the fibroblast proliferation in dose dependent manner (625 50,000 mg/L) without cytotoxicity (IC(50) = 3,000 mg/L), the marked descent of growth curve and suppression of the expression of PCNA in cultured cells (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSION: Ge- 132 can inhibit the proliferation of pterygium fibroblast in vitro significantly."

Results of the above analyses and subsequent experiments eventually enabled me to give a plausible explanation for the presence of germanium in plants.

Data suggest that Ge- 132 may be useful as an antioxidant in view of its ability to prevent PQ- induced hepatic oxidant injury."

times it has been known that after one good crop it takes up to 30 years to produce another crop of harvestable quality in the same soil.

I conducted an experiment by obtaining ginseng sprouts approximately 8 cm in length and planted them in separate boxes. One box was sprinkled with a solution of germanium acetate and the other was left untreated.

Six months later, the sprouts to which the germanium acetate was given had grown to a height of 30 cm and gave off the distinct aroma of ginseng. In contrast, the sprouts in the second box had grown to about 10 cm and gave off only a faint scent of ginseng. Obviously, germanium played an important role in the growth of this plant. (*Ginseng is the common term for either of two herbs from the family Araliaceas, Panax quinquefolium and Panax schinseng The former is the North American ginseng while the latter is common to Northeast Asia.

Noted for its soothing properties, from time immemorial the Chinese have considered ginseng a cure for most illnesses, and the generic term "Panax" itself originates from a Greek word meaning "Panacea.")

A study on Cancer: Complete remission of pulmonary spindle cell carcinoma after treatment with oral germanium sesquioxide.

Chest.

2000 Mainwaring MG, Poor C, Zander DS, Harman E.

"Spindle cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare form of lung cancer representing 0.2 to 0.3% of all primary pulmonary malignancies. Even with combined surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, these tumors are associated with a poor prognosis and only 10% of patients survive 2 years after diagnosis. We describe a patient with an unresectable SCC who, following no response to conventional treatment with combined modality therapy, chose to medicate herself with daily doses of germanium obtained in a health food store. She noted prompt symptomatic improvement and remains clinically and radiographically free of disease 42 months after starting her alternative therapy."

forms a knob (mentioned in the first list as containing a high concentration of germanium) in self- defense. This is a strong indication that the plant is using germanium to fight off the invading viruses. Further evidence that germanium serves to combat viruses in plants is a species of bamboo grass common to Yakushima (An island located in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan) which received wide notice a number of years ago for its effectiveness in treating cancer. I obtained some and confirmed the presence of germanium in this plant. After a number of people had plucked the leaves, however, the roots began to weaken. What became apparent, in line with my theories was that the plant's ability to resist bacteria was lowered due to a disruption of the germanium cycle. The germanium existing in the soil, which is normally absorbed by the roots and returned to the soil when the leaves die and fall, was no longer present in adequate supply. Consequently, the plant became defenseless against bacteria and decayed. The same theory holds for ginseng also, which would be just as susceptible to the thousands of viruses and bacteria existing in the soil and would soon rot if it were not for its extremely high germanium content. One reason why, until recently, it has taken so long to cultivate regular

A study on Cataracts: Effect of pretreatment of germanium- 132 on Na(+)- K(+)ATPase and galactose cataracts.

Curr Eye Res. 1997 Unakar NJ, Tsui J, Johnson M.

"PURPOSE: Recently, we reported that topical administration of 2carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide (Ge- 132) concurrently with 50% galactose feeding delayed the establishment of mature cataracts and reduced advance glycation product.

This study was to determine the effect of pretreatment of Ge- 132 on galactose associated morphological changes and Na(+)- K(+)- ATPase activity (â&#x20AC;Ś).

RESULTS: In Ge- 132 pretreated lenses as compared to saline pretreated lenses the following results were observed: (a) the galactoseinduced morphological alterations in the majority of lenses were delayed and (b) Na(+)- K(+)- ATPase activity was protected.

CONCLUSIONS: Our previous and current studies show that in addition to osmotic stress post- translational protein modification, such as glycation, including enzymes may play a role in initiating changes that lead to cataract development. The inhibition of protein glycation by antiglycating compounds, such as Ge- 132, delays sugar cataract formation.

Currently, we are investigating the status of protein glycation and advanced glycation end products following pretreatment with Ge- 132 and the role of Ge- 132 on the activities of enzymes such as aldose reductase and Na(+)- K(+)- ATPase."

crops of ginseng is that when one crop is harvested the germanium content is removed from the soil. A recent report says that success has been attained in harvesting an annual crop of ginseng by thoroughly disinfecting the soil. Although the beneficial effects of ginseng grown without germanium may be rather dubious, I believe the report re- emphasizes the role of germanium.

In addition to the plants mentioned above, germanium is also present in the structure of various mushrooms such as Cortinellus shiitake, champignon, and kawaradake. All these mushrooms are susceptible to various diseases and could not exist without sufficient resistance to bacteria. Interested in finding out more about the antibiotic properties of germanium, I conducted the following two experiments.

Experiment 1. A gelatin commonly used for the cultivation of bacteria was stained with methylene blue and put into five test tubes. Ten varieties of bacteria were then introduced into the gelatine at random and a solution of germanium complex salt was poured into two of the five tubes. Since various bacteria require oxygen from the methyene blue to propagate themselves, the

A study on Cancer: [Effect of dietary selenium and germanium on the precancerous lesion in rat glandular stomach induced by N- methyl- N'- nitro- Nnitrosoguanidine] 1996 Ming X, Yin H, Zhu Z.

"N- Methyl- N'- nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) was administered (100 mg/L) in drinking water in 100 Wistar rats for 24 weeks to induce the precancerous lesion in glandular stomach. 77 rats with the precancerous lesion in glandular stomach were divided into 3 groups randomly at the 25 thweek.

Yeast selenium (Yse, 4 mg/L) and carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide (Ge- 132, 600 mg/L) in drinking water were administered respectively in the corresponding treatment groups: 100 ml/MNNG in drinking water was administered in the treatment group, and 100 ml/MNN in drinking water was administered in the treatment group and control group for another 5 weeks. The experiment ended at the end of the 37th week. The results showed that the incidence of glandular stomach cancer in the Yse group was significantly lower than that in the control group; the infiltrating depth of glandular stomach cancer in the Yse group and the Ge- 132 group was remarkably shallower than that in the control group. These findings suggest that Yse and Ge- 132 have some preventive effect on the precancerous lesion in rat glandular stomach induced by MNNG.

methylene blue takes on a transparent gray after the oxygen has been used. In the tubes containing germanium, however, the methylene blue maintained its original color, indicating that the bacteria died, being unable to utilize the oxygen.

Experiment 2. Using another method for cultivating bacteria, gelatin was put on two test plates, one containing germanium and one without it. Various microorganisms were introduced and molds of various colors began to grow on the surface of the gelatin without germanium. No change occurred, however, on the plate containing germanium. However, about a week later, dark spots appeared on the surface of the test plates of gelatin containing germanium used in Experiment 2.

In no time the spots, appearing to be miniature aegagropilas in form and color, developed into well rounded spheres about 7mm in diameter. Nonetheless, when viewed from a different angle, the above phenomenon, rather than indicating failure, merely reemphasized the effectiveness of the germanium solution.

The bacteria used in the first experiment died because their molecular structure was destroyed by the dehydrogenating effect, or oxidizing action of germanium. The mold which grew on the test plate

"The suppressor cell activity of T6S cells, a clone of burn- induced CD8+ IL- 4- producing suppressor T cells, was clearly inhibited when a mixed lymphocyte- tumor cell reaction of the clone was conducted with splenic mononuclear cells from mice treated orally with a 100 mg/kg dose of Ge132. The activity of anit- suppressor cells was demonstrated in spleens of mice 2 days after treatment with Ge132 and reached its peak on day 3. The anti- suppressor cells induced by the compound were of a contrasuppressor T cell- linage, because they were characterized as CD4+ CD28+ TCRalpha/beta+ Vicia villosa lectinadherent T cells. These cells produced IFN- gamma but did not produce IL- 2, IL- 4, IL- 6 or IL- 10 in their culture fluids. CD4+ anti- suppressor T cells induced by Ge- 132 may be different from other subsets of CD4+ T cells because Th1 and Th2 cells generated in our laboratory did not adhere to Vicia villosa lectin- coated petri dishes, and each produced specific cytokines."

containing germanium used in Experiment 2, however, grew principally due to the presence of germanium â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a large mold resembling aegagropilas could not have grown without germanium because the microorganisms present would have destroyed it before it was established. The mold made use of the germanium to fight harmful bacteria as well as to facilitate its own growth. In an experiment with rice plants I discovered another effect of germanium: it increases their resistance to cold. In a greenhouse, rice was grown at a temperature of about 20°C having first been immersed in a germanium solution for two days. When the rice grew to a height of about 30cm, the temperature of the greenhouse was lowered to 5°C. As a result, the rice plants grown from the unhulled rice which had not been immersed in the germanium solution soon withered and rotted from the cold. The plants grown from the unhulled rice treated with germanium, however, were unharmed by the cold and steadily continued their healthy growth.

Various other experiments led to the observation of other interesting phenomena. When only a small quantity of the germanium solution was used, the

A study on Cancer, Lung, Immune System: Prevention of pulmonary metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma and activation of murine macrophages by a novel organic germanium compound, Sato I, Nishimura T, Kakimoto N, Suzuki H, Tanaka N.

"The pulmonary metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma was strongly blocked by daily intraperitoneal (i.p.) treatment with 0.5 mg of PCAGeS/kg/day for 7 days after tumor implantation. The metastasis- preventive activity of PCAGeS was markedly reduced when mice were treated with carrageenan, a macrophage blocker. On the other hand, treatment with antiasialo GM1 antiserum did not significantly affect the percentage of inhibition of metastasis by the compound. These results suggest that macrophages rather than natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in the suppression of metastasis by PCAGeS. PCAGeS induced tumoristatic and tumoricidal activities in the peritoneal macrophages of mice by oral administration. The activity of NK cells was also augmented by i.p. treatment with the compound. These results suggest that PCAGeS is a useful substance for preventing pulmonary metastasis."

growth of various plants was greatly accelerated and their flowering period was advanced.

Germanium was also found to have positive effects on plant cuttings. Improved assimilation was noted when water drawn by the plants was electrolyzed by sunlight with germanium acting as a catalyst. All these experiments pointed to a very interesting relationship existing between living substances and metals. In nature there is a transmigrational phenomenon whereby metallic elements existing in the soil play an important part in plant growth when absorbed by plants.

Animals absorb these elements after feeding on the plants and return them to the soil through evacuation or upon death. Naturally, the metallic elements involved in this cycle move in organic form from the plant to animal bodies, and I became extremely interested in determining what form of organic compound is present in living organisms. If this organic compound could be found and synthesized a substance could be created which would surely have beneficial effects on all forms of life. The physicist Schrodinger said, "Life is a supreme work of art created by the hands of God through quantum mechanics." Since I was setting out to create a substance of vital importance

Analysis of the water- soluble and water- insoluble lens- protein fractions for glycated proteins showed increased levels of the Amadori products and advanced glycation related fluorescent products in galactosemic rats treated with saline eye drops. In rats receiving the topical Ge- 132 treatment the levels of these glycation products were substantially reduced to levels lower than control values.

"Germanium is present in all living plant and animal matter in microtrace quantities. Its therapeutic attributes include immunoenhancement, oxygen enrichment, free radical scavenging, analgesia and heavy metal detoxification.

Toxicological studies document Germanium's rapid absorption and elimination from the body, and its safety. Clinical trials and use in private practices for more than a decade have demonstrated Germanium's efficacy in treating a wide range of serious afflictions, including cancer, arthritis and senile osteoporosis. Germanium's antiviral and immunological properties, including the induction of interferon, macrophages, Tsuppressor cells and augmentation of natural killer cell activity, suggest its possible efficacy in treating and/or preventing AIDS." - International Inst. of Symbiotic Studies, Brighton, Sussex, U.K.82

contains the potential to alter the course of life, Einstein's words "The perception of mystery is the: source of every learning and discovery," come to mind. Till the discovery of the compound, I had managed to keep myself in fairly good spirits by reading, but my physical condition had deteriorated, and I was in a state of virtual disability.

Doctors had diagnosed my illness as a severe case of polyrheumatism complicated by arthritis and had given little hope of improvement. True, the organic germanium compound had just been synthesized, but it was still in the experimental stage. Usually with a new medicine, extensive toxicity tests are made before it is used on people. I decided that my own illness would be its first real test. My decision was not entirely based on blind faith, however. Prior to the discovery, my years of research with plants and animals had indicated that its overall effect would be beneficial or harmless at least.

Furthermore, some scientific data from the Soviet Union indicated that germanium was non- toxic. I took some of the white, powdery organic germanium with water. Improvement was slow at first, but I continued to take the solution in large dosages for several days.

Gradually, I began to feel better and in ten days I was up

Antitumor mechanisms of carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide (Ge- 132) in mice bearing Ehrlich ascites tumors] "The administration of IFN- containing sera (Ge- sera) obtained from Ge- 132treated mice (Ge- mice) or the passive transfer of macrophages (M phi) to mice bearing ascites tumors resulted in the inhibition of tumor growth. The cooperative role of Ge- sera and GeM phi in the display of Ge- 132antitumor activity was studied. When mice were pretreated with antimouse IFN gamma antiserum, no IFNinducing or antitumor activities of the compound were detected. Cytotoxic activities were detected in peritoneal M phi of mice treated with Ge- sera, and passive transfer of these M phi to tumor- bearing mice resulted in the inhibition of tumor growth. When tumor- bearing mice were pretreated with substances toxic to M phi, no antitumor activity of Ge- sera was observed. However, Ge- 132 antitumor activity was observed in mice depleted of T- cells, even though the antitumor effects of the compound itself were not demonstrable in T- cell- depleted mice.

Therefore, a part of the antitumor activity of Ge- 132 appears to be expressed as follows: Ge- 132 stimulates T- cells to produce circulating lymphokine(s) which are inactivated by anti- IFN gamma treatment; activated M phi are generated from resting M phi by these lymphokine(s); the transplanted tumors are inhibited by these M phi."

and walking around the house- at times feeling robustly healthy.

Since the rheumatic affliction I was suffering from is generally regarded as incurable by modern medicine, I had been visiting an acupuncturist in the neighborhood in an attempt to relieve my pains. Upon examination after only a few visits, the acupuncturist was astounded to find that my body had already healed to an unbelievable extent.

Moreover, on a subsequent visit he requested some of the compound for his other patients, convinced that it would help them.

After taking it for several more weeks until 1 was assured that it was completely non- toxic, and that there was no sign of its accumulation in my body, however, I gave him some. Again, he was astounded as patients who had been suffering from a variety of diseases, heretofore regarded as virtually incurable- Cancer, epilepsy, cirrhosis of the liver and a list of others - all showed marked improvement when administered the compound. Developments were indeed encouraging. Unfortunately, however, the acupuncturist was forced to discontinue treatment with germanium because it was pointed out to him that the use of germanium at this stage constituted an act against laws governing the use of medicine in Japan.

Effects on Animals Before describing its effects in the human body I will mention a few examples of my germanium compound used in animals. It seems to have an almost MIRACULOUS EFFICACY in these cases. A Siamese cat at our home had been in the fangs of a dog during a wild fight. The wounds were so serious; we began fearing for its life. We started applying dressings to the wounds with a water solution of the organic germanium, at the same time forcing him to drink this solution. This was done in the presence of the Reference: Miracle Cure aOrganic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980. Material excerpted from: www.regenerativenutrition.com

veterinarian we had called. On calling again a few days later, he was almost dumbfounded at the rapid recovery of the cat, saying that he could now believe in miracles.

The large Japanese carp specially bred for decorative purposes, being artificially raised, are liable to contract diseases easily. An acquaintance who was keeping such carp reported to me that several had contracted a disease. Some of their scales were peeling off. Lying on their sides, they were gasping for air apparently on the verge of death. On my advice he put a pinch of the organic germanium compound into the water in which they were swimming, and to his utmost delight the fish soon began swimming vigorously, biting greedily at the feed in which they had showed no interest only a short while previously.

The owner of the carp now claims that the organic germanium compound is indispensable for breeding carp. Germanium showed the same curative effects on cats, dogs and horses where diseases withstood treatment in the conventional manner, so that many veterinarians have strongly requested that the organic germanium compound be made available for general use as soon as possible.

Bird lovers who used germanium on their ailing birds have also expressed their delight at its efficacy. A female Dobermann imported from England was mated seven times within 5 years but did not conceive once. The Owner became worried that the dog would age without giving him a litter. As a last resort he turned to intravenous and subcutaneous injections of organic germanium one month before the dog came into heat. These injections were continued all through the mating season. This time the dog conceived, delivering a litter of five males and six females, and children doing well to the utmost delight of their Owner. No matter how much is given to animals, there is no lethal level to report.

The more they get, the more active they become.

In the Drugs, Cosmetics, and Medical instruments Act, the lethal amount is reached if half the animals die. With germanium there is no lethal amount. Therefore, it is not a medicine.

Modifying responses of allyl sulfide, indole- 3- carbinol and germanium in a rat multi- organ carcinogenesis model.

Carcinogenesis. 1991 Jang JJ, Cho KJ, Lee YS, Bae JH. "The modifying potential of allyl sulfide (AS), indole- 3- carbinol (I3C) and carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide (GE) on lesion development was examined in a wide- spectrum initiation model. Groups 14 were treated sequentially with diethylnitrosamine (DEN) (100 mg/kg, i.p., single dose), N- methylnitrosourea (MNU) (20 mg/kg, i.p., four doses at days 2, 5, 8 and 11), and N,N- dibutylnitrosamine (DBN) (0.05% in drinking water during weeks 3 and 4). Groups 5- 7 received vehicles without carcinogens during the initiation period. Group 8 served as the untreated control. After this initiating procedure, groups 2- 7 were administered a diet containing 0.5% AS or I3C and 0.05% GE. All surviving animals were killed 40 weeks after the beginning of the experiment and the target organs were examined. The induction of GST- P+ hepatic foci in rats treated with carcinogens was significantly inhibited by treatment with all three compounds. AS treatment significantly decreased the incidence of hepatic hyperplastic nodules, adenoma of the lung and thyroid, and papillary or nodular hyperplasia of the urinary bladder. Administration of GE also significantly inhibited the development of hepatic nodules and adenoma of the lung and thyroid. However, I3C only inhibited the hyperplastic nodules of the liver. These results demonstrated that this multi- organ initiation model could be useful in confirming organ- specific modification potential and, in addition, the inhibitory effect of AS, I3C and GE on liver, lung, thyroid and urinary bladder carcinogenesis."

Germanium as an Experimental Medicine Having virtually recovered from my own disease. and witnessed the mysterious healing action of the organic germanium compound, I became anxious to see it put to use for medical treatment.

Heart: Effects of organogermanium compound 2carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide on cardiovascular function and motor activity in rats. Pharmacology. 1990 Ho CC, Chern YF, Lin MT. "In rats anesthetized with urethane, intraperitoneal administration of a water- soluble organogermanium compound 2- carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide (Ge- 132) produced a dose- related reduction in either the mean arterial pressure or the heart rate.

Both hypotension and bradycardia responses induced by Ge132 injection were significantly inhibited by pretreatment of the animals with either spinal transection or bilateral vagotomy. The data indicate that Ge- 132 induces both hypotension and bradycardia by promoting an activation of the parasympathetic efferent mechanisms and an inhibition of the sympathetic efferent mechanisms. On the other hand, following intraperitoneal injection of Ge- 132, increased grooming and head swaying (as shown by an enhancement in fine movements monitored by an electronic activity counter) were provoked. Furthermore, the amphetamineinduced enhancement in fine movements was potentiated by pretreatment of the animals with Ge- 132. Thus, it appears that Ge- 132 acts through the catecholaminergic mechanisms in the brain to induce locomotor stimulation in rats."

continued to do so in increasing numbers when they saw its remarkable results. I gave it to them at cost; just enough for research expense, and laid down the following two provisions: First of all, my organic germanium should never be considered a medicine. It enriches the body's oxygen supply, and one is cured from disease by his OWN POWERS. One must put great trust in germanium, and pay close attention to his diet in order to avoid constitutional acidity.

Secondly, I have labored earnestly for more than 20 years, motivated always by a vision that the organic germanium I was producing was a godsend form heaven to alleviate human suffering and to save humanity from disease. That means that the sick must take only GERMANIUM, add PRAYER to it and use no medicine in addition. If used in conjunction with other medicines its effectiveness is diminished.

The great surgeon and scientist, Alexis Carrell, has said: "Although man has been fascinated by the remarkable progress that science has made in dealing with unliving things and inanimate objects, he has as yet failed to realize that the flesh and minds of human beings are also governed by laws which are as precise as the world of stars and many times as mysterious. Moreover, he is ignorant of the danger inherent in the violation of such laws." (Alexis Carell: Man, the Unknown) Watching the effect of the compound on the patients at our clinic, these words came to mind. It seemed as if germanium were a substance springing from a yet unknown dimension with a direct link to the vital forces of life. I am a scientist, however, and well aware of the dangers of non empirical thinking and soon set about to define the mechanism of the compound in scientific terms.

By watching all the changes that took place with patients following the administration of the compound, I was able to conclude that its HEALING POWERS may be attributed to the fact that it brings about a sharp increase in the body's supply Reference: Miracle Cure aOrganic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980.

of OXYGEN: A patient will feel a certain warmth surging throughout his body within 10 minutes of so after taking the compound - some people actually feel as if they have been given a mixture that included alcohol.

Yawning soon ceases, blood becomes less viscous and complexions take on a healthy glow. Carbon monoxide poisoning is quickly cured, and people feel cheerful, sleep soundly and wake in good humor.

Mechanism of Action Morbid tissues are generally characterized by oxygen deficiency. Accumulation of H- radicals tends to destroy cells and tissues which gradually accumulate to cause disorders which in turn deteriorate in a morbid condition generated for various reasons.

If oxygen could be selectively and locally, fed to this lesion, oxygen would combine with the accumulated H+ radicals to restore the deteriorated tissues, thereby cutting the vicious circle of accumulation of deteriorated tissues and disorders, restoring the normal functions of the tissues.

However, Ge- 132 antitumor activity was observed in mice depleted of T- cells, even though the antitumor effects of the compound itself were not demonstrable in T- cell- depleted mice.

Therefore, a part of the antitumor activity of Ge- 132 appears to be expressed as follows: Ge- 132 stimulates T- cells to produce circulating lymphokine(s) which are inactivated by anti- IFN gamma treatment; activated M phi are generated from resting M phi by these lymphokine(s); the transplanted tumors are inhibited by these M phi."

the compound is that germanium takes the form of a sesquioxide.

Oxygen readily combines with hydrogen, so it becomes apparent that hydrogen will strongly bind with the oxygen atoms of the compound, consequently bringing about a dehydrogenating reaction which is the mechanism by which germanium eliminates harmful substances causing disease in the body.

Consider for a moment the basic fact of the life process whereby food is burned by the body to give energy, while carbon dioxide (C02) and hydrogen (H2) are created. CO2 is discharged from the lungs when we exhale, and H2 combines with oxygen to form water which is discharged in the urine and sweat.

As mentioned previously, hydrogen may be referred to as a positive ion, which is as useless to the body as dust clogging the workings of a machine. To insure that the body functions normally, hydrogen must be removed, but for complete removal a large quantity of oxygen is needed. The germanium compound with its strong dehydrogenating effect takes the place of oxygen in combining with hydrogen to eliminate the latter from the body.

In fact, all traces of germanium are discharged from the body through the digestive tract within 20 to 30 hours.

As part of another experiment, tests were conducted on the effect of the germanium compound on the respiratory tissues of a group of mice using the Warburg method. Results obtained showed a remarkable decrease of oxygen consumption in the diaphragm and liver clear indication that the compound acted as a substitute for oxygen in combining with hydrogen.

By the dehydrogenating or oxidizing action of the compound, not only hydrogen ions are removed from the blood, but abnormal proteins and other foreign matter are also removed. The oxidizing effect of the compound thus serves to purify the blood (â&#x20AC;Ś).

Well Balanced Diet, Prerequisite to Good Health As will be seen later. the organic germanium compound can be regarded without exaggeration as an effective means of combating almost any disease. Nonetheless, for assuring its efficacy and the health of the body, the following two conditions have to be met. One is to keep a well balanced diet in order to maintain the acid alkali equilibrium of the body fluids. The other is to relieve stress to keep a stable mental state for maintaining the equilibrium of the autonomic nervous system. If any one of these equilibrium is broken, a morbid change is likely to occur somewhere in the body.

The oxygen needed for the human body is supplied through respiration, and observing the necessities for the maintenance of human life, the first thought is the need for oxygen supplied to the body through respiration, while the need for nourishment in the form of water and food and sleep follow a close second. If oxygen supply to the brain is suspended for more than three minutes, the brain fails to recover consciousness. If water intake is suspended for about a week, dehydration causes death.

If no sleep is obtained for a week, mental disorder caused by lack of sleep results in complete mental derangement. Only if the three foregoing conditions are met, can a healthy person go without food for one month.

With these conditions in mind, it is up to man to CHOOSE the proper type of food. For this reason, it is important to keep a WELL BALANCED DIET. For maintaining health or curing a disease, it is of utmost importance to adhere to a diet that includes food which will keep the pH of the body fluids slightly alkaline at 7.2 to 7 4. To facilitate a judicious selection, the following classification points out types of food that are termed either as acid or alkali forming: HIGHLY ACID FOODS: egg yolk, cheese, sweets in which white sugar is used. dried bonito, oyster, and herring roe.

MODERATELY ACID FOODS: ham, bacon, horse meat, chicken, tuna, pork, white bread, beef, wheat, butter, and eel.

SLIGHTLY ACID FOODS: rice, peanuts, octopus, clams, liver, fried bean curd, and beer.

SLIGHTLY ALKALINE FOODS: red beans, onions, cabbage, Japanese radishes, apples, a kind of Chinese cabbage, and bean curd.

Antiviral: Antiviral activity of carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide (Ge- 132) in mice infected with influenza virus. J Biol Response Mod. 1989 Aso H, Suzuki F, Ebina T, Ishida N. "The protective effect of carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide (Ge- 132) in mice infected with a mouse- adapted strain of influenza virus (H2N2) was investigated. When mice were exposed to a 10 LD50 dose of influenza virus via aerosol and were treated orally with 20 or 100 mg/kg of Ge- 132 daily for 6 consecutive days, a significant protective effect was demonstrated. The antiviral effect of Ge- 132 was indicated by an increase of survivors, a prolongation of mean survival days, an inhibition of the development of lung consolidation, and a decrease of virus titer in lung tissues, as compared to infected control mice treated with phosphate- buffered saline. Natural killer (NK) cell activity in the spleens and lungs of the infected mice was also significantly augmented after the oral administration of Ge132. In addition, NK cells stimulated with Ge- 132 in vivo showed killing activity against NK- insensitive MethA cells infected with influenza virus.

Because no virucidal or virustatic activities of Ge- 132 on the virus were found in vitro, this protective effect in mice against influenza virus infection may be displayed through immunomodulating activities of this compound such as the augmentation of NK cell activity."

MODERATELY ALKALINE FOODS: raisins, soybeans, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, banana, tangerines, pumpkins, strawberries, honeywort, white of egg, pickled plums, and lemon.

HIGHLY ALKALINE FOODS: seaweed, grapes, tea, and wine.

Acid foods when absorbed into the body tend to acidify the blood, while alkaline foods reverse this tendency toward acidosis. Lemon juice will turn the blue litmus paper red as a test for it acidity reaction will show, but once it is absorbed into the body, acts to turn the blood alkaline. Thus, lemon is classified as an alkaline food. Aside from those who are still growing, people should avoid excessive intake of animal protein and fats. They would do better to take soybeans and processed foods thereof, as well as vegetables. Vegetable fats are also better than animal fats.

If people maintain a well balanced diet centered on natural vegetable foods, they will be able to sustain good health since these increase resistance against diseases and reinforce natural curing ability should they fall victim to some ailment.

Any diet partial to acid foods like meat and fatty fish meat, especially to animal foods, is tantamount to SHORTENING ONE'S LIFE.

Pregnancy The food 'fads' of pregnant women are of interest. My daughter began no longer to care for fatty foodstuffs or meats, while definitely preferring vegetables, fruit and picked ume (a Japanese fruit similar to apricot and plum). All these foods are in the alkali group of foods.

In traditional Chinese medicine, acid and salt are described as the negative and the positive, Reference: Miracle Cure aOrganic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980. Material excerpted from: www.regenerativenutrition.com

262

respectively. The Chinese principle calls for maintaining equilibrium of the positive and the negative in diet.

Chinese medicine classifies umeboshi in the negative, that is, the alkali group of foods. As I mentioned earlier, I was struck by the Chinese wisdom that listed pickled plums as a negative food despite its acidity which tends to mislead people to think of them as an acid forming food. This change of pattern in diet during pregnancy conforms to the need of the foetus in the womb of the mother. Oxygen is the most important substance for the growth of the foetus. If the mother has acidosis, there is sure to be oxygen deficiency which will adversely affect the foetus. I find a special providence in the natural change in the pattern of likes and dislikes in the diet of women in pregnancy.

The oriental antenatal training of expectant mothers in this connection should be interpreted in the light of the need for stabilizing their mental state, which keeps a well balanced physical condition. My daughters took organic germanium daily during their pregnancy to maintain abundant oxygen supply to the body. Consequently, they experienced only very slight morning sickness during the first few months of pregnancy and GAVE BIRTH TO STRONG,

A study on Cancer: Cooperation of lymphokine(s) and macrophages in expression of antitumor activity of carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide (Ge- 132). Anticancer Res. 1986 Suzuki F, Brutkiewicz RR, Pollard RB. "The administration of IFN containing sera (Ge- sera) obtained from Ge- 132treated mice (Ge- mice) or the passive transfer of macrophages (M phi) to mice bearing ascites tumors resulted in the inhibition of tumor growth. The cooperative role of Ge- sera and GeM phi in the display of Ge- 132antitumor activity was studied. When mice were pretreated with antimouse IFN gamma antiserum, no IFNinducing and antitumor activities of the compound were detected. Cytotoxic activities were detected on peritoneal M phi of mice treated with Ge- sera, and passive transfer of these M phi to tumor- bearing mice resulted in the inhibition of tumor growth. When tumor- bearing mice were pretreated with substances toxic to M phi, there was no antitumor activity of Ge- sera observed.

However, there was antitumor activity of Ge- sera in mice depleted of T- cells, even though the antitumor effects of the compound itself were not demonstrable in T- cell depleted mice. Therefore, a part of the antitumor activity of Ge- 132 may appear to be expressed as follows: (1) Ge- 132 stimulated T- cells to produce circulating lymphokine(s) which were inactivated by anti- IFN gamma treatment; (2) activated M phi were generated from resting M phi by such lymphokine(s); (3) the transplanted tumors were inhibited by these M phi."

HEALTHY BABIES IN EASY DELIVERIES. Thus, I am endowed with six healthy grandchildren. Many similar cases are found in letters of appreciation I have received. In one case, an expectant mother was diagnosed as having leukemia and had been advised by her doctor to arrange for an abortion. As she turned to germanium therapy which had an excellent effect on her leukemia, she was able to give birth to a fine boy. This is only one of many examples of the beneficial effect of germanium therapy in pregnancy. Invariably they have an easy delivery and their babies are healthy and vigorous. I am sure the tragedy of giving birth to defective infants could be avoided if all pregnant women would take organic germanium.

Birth of Healthy Life Here is a case reported in the newspapers. Parents of a premature baby, who lost its eyesight because of a retinal disorder whilst in an incubator. Brought a lawsuit against the hospital for the damage caused to the child, only to lose the case. Prevention of retinal disorders in premature babies appears to be possible by applying the latest technology, but it seems that cases of this nature are not yet recognized as being attributable to hospital error. Medical journals report an increasing number of premature births. That the health of prospective mothers is markedly deteriorating is undeniable when aggravation of environmental conditions due to food and pollution is taken into account. Imperfect physical conditions of prospective mothers are probably leading to an increased number of premature births.

In support of this statement, I would like to point out that pregnant women taking organic germanium all have smooth deliveries and that not one premature or physically handicapped baby has been born to such a mother. The reason is very simple.

Germanium enriches the body with oxygen, and as the mother's womb remains in a wonderfully healthy condition, the fetus grows unimpeded. While more about this matter is presented in another chapter, I would like to introduce the summary of a report submitted by Dr.Mieko Okazawa who is a member of the Infant Protection Association.

Report submitted October 15, 1977 Eight examples of PERFECTLY HEALTHY BABIES born to women taking organic germanium during pregnancy Note: Ge stands for organic Germanium.

Case I. As both the eldest and the second daughter were sickly and the mother herself of weak constitution and as her urine was showing sugar (+ +) at the beginning of pregnancy, she began to take germanium (Ge) from the second month of pregnancy.

She gave birth to a healthy boy. (She took 500cc Ge a month.)

A study on Cancer: [Antitumor effect in mice of an organic germanium compound (Ge132) when different administration methods are used] Gan To Kagaku Ryoho.

1985 Aso H, Shibuya E, Suzuki F, Nakamura T, Inoue H, Ebina T, Ishida N. "The antitumor effect of an organic germanium compound, carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide (Ge- 132), was examined in mice using two systems: one, the ascitic form of Ehrlich carcinoma in DDI mice, and the other, the solid form of Meth- A fibrosarcoma in BALB/c mice (â&#x20AC;Ś).

These observations may indicate that the differing antitumor effects of Ge132 produced when different administration methods are used can be explained by the variation in effector cells induced by such different administration routes."

Case 2. The woman began an intake of 200mg/day Ge because of a threatened abortion at 7 months. After her condition stabilized, the daily amount was reduced to 80mg.

Case 3. As all three of her children contracted German measles early in her fourth pregnancy, the mother began to take Ge. The intake was 80mg a day. In the eighth month of pregnancy she contracted influenza accompanied by coughing fits. She therefore was advised to increase the intake to 400mg to 500mg per day, later returning to 80mg a day till delivery.

Case 4. The woman suffered from toxaemia of pregnancy and albumen in her urine while pregnant with her first child. When the second child was on the way, from the fifth month she began Ge intake until delivery which was smooth and she gave birth to a healthy baby.

Case 5. The woman was allergic to medication. She contracted influenza in the fourth month of pregnancy, accompanied by coughing fits. She began to take Ge only. As she suffered from coughing fits during the ninth month of pregnancy too, she was administered Ge injections in addition to oral Ge doses till delivery. She gave birth to a healthy baby.

Case 6. As the mother was in her mid thirties by the time she conceived her third child, she began to take 100 mg of Ge per day from the initial period of pregnancy.

Case 7. The woman began to take 400 mg/day Ge from the ninth month of pregnancy because of albumen (o) in her urine, and dropsical swelling. While pregnant with her first child, she had fallen into pregnancy phobia. She received a blood transfusion for profuse bleeding and experienced a difficult delivery. But this time she had an easy delivery probably as a result of taking Ge.

Reference: Miracle Cure aOrganic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980. Material excerpted from: www.regenerativenutrition.com

266

Case 8. The woman took Ge before her pregnancy on account of delicate health and autonomic ataxia. Serious vomiting, anemia during the latter part of pregnancy and a rise in blood pressure prompted her to have additional Ge injections while also orally taking Ge till delivery which went smoothly.

I cannot help thinking that premature births and births of physically handicapped children result from some violation of the workings of nature.

Nature fills the universe with rational equations and steadily flows with time. It should, therefore, be NATURAL THAT PERFECTLY NORMAL BABIES BE BORN. Yet, that this is not the case probably stems from the existence of something which is not in accord with the principles of nature. That a life comes into this world is a profound mystery, originating from the time of conception and developing through the growth of the fetus over a period.

What is most needed during this period is oxygen obtained through the mother's respiration. If the mother's blood is acid, the oxygen carrying capacity of haemoglobin in the red blood cells markedly declines and this may lead to a FAILURE

A study on Cancer: [Suppression of tumor growth by peritoneal macrophages isolated from mice treated with carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide (Ge132)] Suzuki F. "(â&#x20AC;Ś) Co- cultivation of RL male- 1 leukemia or Ehrlich carcinoma cells with Ge- 132- cytotoxic M phi in vitro resulted in marked suppression of the growth of tumor cells. The transfer of peritoneal exudate cells (PEC), or purified M phi fractions of PEC from Ge- 132- treated mice to mice bearing Ehrlich or RL male- 1 ascites tumors resulted in significant protection.

However, when the cytotoxic M phi were depleted by carbonyl- iron treatment in vitro, no antitumor effect was demonstrated in mice bearing Ehrlich or RL male- 1 ascites tumors.

Macrophage fractions obtained from PEC of Ge- 132- treated mice exhibited an inhibitory effect against certain tumors both in vivo and in vitro suggesting that the antitumor effect of Ge- 132 observed in vivo resulted from the activation of M phi."

to supply the interior of the womb with an adequate amount of oxygen. This creates a dangerous situation.

There are two causes of acidic blood. One is mental instability. The importance attached to the prospective MOTHER'S MENTAL STATE since early days in the name of antenatal education is perfectly correct. The other cause is DIET. Preferences for food change when a woman becomes pregnant, and dislike of acid forming foods such as meat and fatty foods often develops. This is an admirable and marvelous example of the working of nature. Nature thus is doing her utmost to prevent a shortage of oxygen in the mother's womb, but if the womb becomes acidic through stress and polluted foodstuffs caused by the unhealthy habits of modern life, the child is liable to abort, be born prematurely or with physical defects. It is, therefore, by no means an exaggeration to say that the use of germanium is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for a pregnant woman to assure the birth of a healthy child.

Reasons for Oxygen Deficit in the Body Although I shall refer to the reason for ill health together with the conditions for treatment of disease on many occasions. Perhaps it would be useful to summarize the causes for an oxygen deficiency in the body at this point since this seems to be the root of all body disorders. (i) Though acidity has long been recognized as a problem, perhaps one reason why ill health is so rampant is that most people do not bother to find an adequate explanation as to why this condition is detrimental to health. Although it may sound complicated, the scientific answer is rather simple. An acid constitution means that the blood contains an excess of positive hydrogen ions (H + ) which use up the oxygen in a living body by combining with it to form an hydroxyl group. When an excess of (H + ) accumulates in the Reference: Miracle Cure aOrganic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980. Material excerpted from: www.regenerativenutrition.com

268

body, there is insufficient oxygen to consume them. As a consequence the blood will acidify and an oxygen deficiency will be created. The problem of oxygen deficiency has also become a controversy in recent years. An ACID CONSTITUTION should be averted by all means. An acid constitution leads to an OXYGEN DEFICIENCY which results in various diseases, including cancer. (ii) The intake of foods which contain an excess of unsaturated chemical compounds can be noted as another major cause of oxygen deficiency. Unsaturated compounds have a surplus of molecular "hands" which combine with oxygen in the body to produce oxonium compounds, thereby depleting the body's supply of oxygen. In an experiment we conducted with dogs, one of the animals died from cancer induced by means of the above method. The chemical nature of substance is to move from an unsaturated state. At which they can establish their existence. In this context, it is important for those who want to stay healthy to note that natural foods contain the fewest unsaturated compounds, while these compounds are conspicuously abundant in refined foods. In my mind, carcinogenic or, cancer producing substances and unsaturated compounds with their excess of molecular "hands" to use up the available oxygen in the body are one and the same.

269

(iii) The other major cause of oxygen deficiency in the body, perhaps that to which we should pay the most attention, is the MIND. A theory of Professor Hans Selye of the University of Montreal, Canada, is that not only humans but animals develop an unbalanced secretion of hormones, particularly adrenal hormones, if subjected to prolonged stress. An imbalance hormone secretion will also lead to acidification of the blood and thereby create a condition for oxygen deficiency which ultimately, v results in disease. In an experiment we conducted in our laboratory, v, mice were encased and poked with a stick to irritate and provoke them. Not surprisingly, upon dissection, it was found that all had developed stomach ulcers, some of which had haemorrhaged. An examination of their blood revealed the pH value had dropped by 0.2 on average, clearly indicating that the blood had become highly acidified.

With the recent remarkable progress in biochemistry, many warnings have been issued on the relationship between health and diet. Moreover, stress is fast becoming recognized as a MAJOR CAUSE OF DISEASE. Again, I wish to re- emphasize the necessity of maintaining a constitution that will not produce an oxygen deficiency. This is a conclusion reached after

A study on Cancer, Immune System: Importance of T- cells and macrophages in the antitumor activity of carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide (Ge- 132). Anticancer Res. 1985 Suzuki F, Brutkiewicz RR, Pollard RB. "The purpose of this study was to investigate the effective mechanisms of Ge- 132, an organogermanium compound with immunomodulatory activity, on experimental murine ascites tumors. The antitumor effects of Ge- 132 were observed when mice inoculated with Ehrlich carcinoma (allogeneic) or RL male 1 leukemia (syngeneic) cells were treated orally.

However, Ge- 132 had no activity on EL- 4 lymphoma (syngeneic) or Meth A fibrosarcoma (syngeneic).

The antitumor activity of Ge- 132 was not observed when tumor- bearing mice were treated with trypan blue, carrageenan, or monoclonal anti- Thy 1.2 antibody. However, when natural killer (NK) cells were eliminated from mice bearing RL male 1 or Ehrlich ascites tumors by treatment with antiasialo GM1 antiserum, the antitumor activity of the compound was unchanged. This suggests that Ge- 132 was effective against certain ascites tumors regardless of whether the tumor was syngeneic or allogeneic.

Furthermore, its effect might be expressed through host defense mechanisms, including macrophages and/or T- cells."

several years of laboratory work with the organic germanium compound and, to date, all the facts have supported it without exception.

Stress In order adequately to explain the interrelationship of germanium and health, particularly as regards the mind, it is necessary to draw together several fields of knowledge. By examination of some theories from the field of physics we may note that physics is a science dealing basically with the clarification of various phenomena which constitute the basis of matter. Human beings, by the very nature of the fact that they are composed of matter, are also governed by the theories of the properties of matter as expounded by physics.

In terms of physics, as quantum theory has revealed, a human being is an aggregate of ultra minute electrically charged particles. You may wonder what all this has to do with disease. This does so precisely because the physical composition and behavior of matter is known to accord with the laws of nature, Although you may choose to agree or disagree with the hypothesis, scientific evidence has indicated it is important to man in terms of mental and ph, health, to have some BASIC DIRECTION IN LIFE. Professor Selye maintains that disease develops from mental stress. Stress is "strain," and may be interpreted in terms of minute electrical particles which constitute the body. In effect, the occurrence of a disease means that one portion of the universe's equation has become incompatible with the rest.

271

The simplest way to detect stress (strain) is to measure the electrical potential of the various parts of the body. Each mass of electrical particles naturally, has its own electrical potential. Brain troubles are diagnosed by brain waves. The principle involved in this type of examination is to locate the affected area of the brain by measuring the electrical potentials at various points. The same principle applies to the internal organs. There is an appropriate potential for the stomach, liver, heart, kidneys, pancreas and other organs. Once affected by disease, the potential of an organ, the source of which are the electrons, will either increase or fall.

It is important to note that in the living body, the hydrogen ion, which is the source of an electrical potential, serves as this electron As an interesting side note on the relationship of germanium and electrical potentials, we conducted an experiment whereby a solution containing the organic germanium compound was poured into the battery of an automobile which had failed to start due to battery failure. The immediate result was that the car started without difficulty. Furthermore, batteries have been recharged without difficulty in a few minutes by adding a small quantity of the germanium compound.

PCAGeS enhanced the delayedtype hypersensitivity response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) of mice or restored the response suppressed by ascitic IMC carcinoma, but did not significantly affect the formation of antibody to SRBC. PCAGeO similarly stimulated the DTH reaction. Phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages was enhanced by oral treatment of mice with PCAGeS.

difficult to explain such phenomena scientifically, but it seems obvious that electrical potentials have been increased.

The state of a human body, in which no electrical potentials may be detected, is DEATH. In recent years much more time has been devoted to the study of stress in connection with personality and profession. In this connection some interesting facts have come to light.

First of all, the artist, working in an atmosphere of pure art apparently is not subject to undue stress. Their blood does not become acid, whereas the broker class seems always to be under irritation, worrying, and always in an uneasy state which results in blood acidity. An oxygen deficiency, and which finally ends in stomach ulcers.

I have a friend who is head of the research laboratory in the National Police Agency. Once I inadvertently heard him say something that made me slap my knee and nod in agreement. "When a criminal commits murder in connection with a robbery, he knows that if caught he faces execution, therefore he invariably looks for a chance to run away and hide. The police send notices to every city, town, and village office, but on the average, only about 60% of such culprits are caught. However, strangely enough. after four or five years, those not apprehended develop some incurable disease, very often CANCER, and die.

Along with the doctor's certificate of death, a report of the person's personal history is sent to the local office, and we know he is on the wanted list of criminals." The criminal in hiding lives with FEAR and a GUILTY CONSCIENCE day and night, and his body is under FEARFUL STRESS. His body state becomes highly acid, an oxygen deficiency brings on an incurable disease, and he dies. According to a physician connected with a prison, newly arrived inmates in general show high blood acidity, but interestingly, in the monthly physical examinations, they find that those who repent and Reference: Miracle Cure aOrganic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980.

become model prisoners lose that acidity. When I make a careful observation of such facts, I begin to wonder just what is sickness?

Elixir of Life In the book Tales From a Western Castle by Yasushi lnoue, there is a very interesting conversation between Genghis Khah and an invited Chinese scholar, regarding long life. Genghis Khan: "You come from far off; do you have medicine for long life?" Scholar: "There is a way of healthful living, there is no medicine."

Genghis Khan: "Then there is really no medicine for long life?" Scholar. "There is a way of healthful living, there is no medicine."

Germanium regulates the amount of cholesterol in the blood, and by animal experimentation, it has been proven that it prevents amyloidosis, the ring leader in causing the phenomenon of aging.

At the 64th Conference of the Japan athological Society held in April 1975. The results of the following experiment were presented : "In ICR mice two years old, spontaneous development of amyloidosis was widely observed in various organs of 12/14 cases, including the kidneys, digestive organs, liver. spleen, heart and adrenal glands.

No relationship of myloidosis with chronic inflammation was established.

Mice of the same strain were used as an experimental group. These animals were fed organic germanium from five weeks of age for a period of 22 months. In the 30 mglkg administration groups. amyloidosis was induced in 3!6 cases. On the other hand, in the 300 mglkg administration groups, 12/14 cases presented no sign of its development." Perusal of this report reveals it's amazing significance. Amyloidosis, also known as amyloid degeneration. as any medical encyclopaedia will tell you, is a disease which occurs when amyloid degeneration, appears in the body.

In plain words, it is the principal cause of aging. Since organic germanium completely inhibits the development of amyloidosis, it would be no exaggeration to call organic germanium an "ELIXIR OF LIFE." The impotence of modern medicine against incurable diseases is simply flagrant. The root of impotence lies in the absence of philosophical background in modern medicine.

As a result, it easily falls into an attitude of local or microscopic research; the methods of treatment become symptomatic. For this reason, when cure of cancer or Behcet's disease, for example. by prescription of organic germanium compound is reported. the doctors laugh me off saying, "Are you a magician?" My reply is, "No, on the contrary, the god cast a spell on me to synthesize organic germanium compound from elemental germanium and to use it to treat incurable disease: the magic is in the hand of the god (â&#x20AC;Ś)."

Germanium in the Treatment of Disease in General NOTABLE CASES TREATED WITH GERMANIUM Forpost- operative treatment of cancer (female. 6l years old): A thumb sized malignant tumor was discovered in the right cervical region 15 years ago, and was removed subsequently. Three years after this excision, the patient underwent an operation for removing a gland cancer on her left breast, followed a month later by a similar operation on the right breast.

Another malignant tumor was found again on the right cervical section, which was removed. Soft tissues and lymphatic glands around the cervical tumor could not be removed. Radiation treatment and anticancer agents were not used. A daily dose of 800 mg of organic germanium was administered. Over three years since then there has been no sign of recurrence. The cervical tumor was histological diagnosed as a gland cancer which appeared to be a Lymphatic metastasis, but no primary lesion was observed. Although the case history had an excision of cancerous tissues in the same cervical area 13 years ago, which leads me to I suspect a latent

slow developing malignant tumor, no recurrence has actually developed subsequently.

Arteriosclerosis, cerebral apoplexy and sequela to apoplexy: I am convinced of the efficacy of the organic germanium compound in these diseases in shortening the time required for recovery. In some cases, however, concurrent administration of cytochrome and other agents proven to be effective made it impossible to attribute the efficacy solely to organic germanium.

Heart diseases including myocardial infarction: The time needed for recovery was shortened through treatment with organic germanium. Case C (66 years old) suffered from sclerotic heart disease for which there is no effective medication, symptoms being pain in the chest, bradycardia, and slow pulse. On administration of the organic germanium compound the patient soon felt relief from the chest pains, and although he had difficultyin walking. he recovered enough to be able to ascend a slope without frequent rests.

Organic germanium proved effective also on angina pectoris. Its administration to a case where corneal dilators showed little efficacy brought relief within a couple of days, reducing the frequency of attacks which were two or three times a day to almost nil.

In another case of angina pectoris, attacks recurred upon ceasing the administration of the organic germanium compound.

A case of Raynaud's disease (male, 45 years old). The patient had his fourth toe amputated at a hospital. A black gangrene developed at the amputated part, while the third and fifth toe were pale due to poor blood circulation. The black gangrene increased despite the administration of 400 mg of methyl carbamate and peripheral blood vessel dilators.

Therefore, 80 mg of organic germanium compound was given. Three days later, the gangrene was markedly reduced in size and the pale toes had turned rosy with good blood circulation, showing signs of gradual recovery. After a month, the patient began drinking and smoking again. The dosage was not increased. Probably this negligence Reference: Miracle Cure aOrganic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980.

caused aggravation of the gangrene and the lower leg was amputated. It is to be noted, however, that before the gangrene became worse, the administration of organic germanium showed a remarkable efficacy in improving the symptoms.

A case of hypertension, stomach ulcer and arteriosclerosis (male, 72 years old): The patient was admitted to the hospital with many diseases. A thumb size niche was found in the angular part of the stomach, from which copious bleeding occurred.

A severe case of anemia ensued, which at one time was measured to be 3 per cent in haemoglobin concentration by Shal's method, while the red blood cell count showed 1, 700,000. Transfusion of blood and other fluids, and administration of various hemostatics performed daily failed to bring about any relief. If more than 50 ml of blood was transfused, the excess blood would be discharged with urine. Therefore, blood transfusion was limited to 30 mi, which left the patient in the worst possible condition.

In addition to blood transfusion, 40 mg of royal jelly was injected every other day. This treatment resulted gradually in a slight improvement. The patient unfortunately suffered a great mental shock by a conflict

in his family, causing a senile mental disorder in the patient who in the height of confusion went so far as to throw his faeces around. Then, 80 mg of organic germanium compound was given to him. When examined by X- ray fluoroscopy, the large niche had disappeared and the stomach ulcer had nearly healed leaving a scar.. On the 10th day of administration of the organic germanium compound, the patient suddenly recovered from his state of confusion (â&#x20AC;Ś).

Guarding against the Effects of Pollution It is an understatement that much has been said and written on the subject of world pollution. Particularly relevant here is pollution of the air and of foodstuffs. This contamination gradually builds up in the body and can lead to very serious diseases. For instance, there has been a long continued use of mercury and cadmium in fertilizers etc, that in sufficient amounts can lead to metal poisoning. To study the efficacy of organic germanium on mercury poisoning, I asked a pathologist to use it on animals. At the time, the shocking symptoms of mercury poisoning cases of people who had eaten mercury contaminated fish in a particular area of Japan were widely reported, and there was a real sense of urgency to relieve the plight of the victims. The experimental results obtained by the pathologist were as I had expected: "An intravenous injection of 0.6 mg of mercury chloride to a rat weighing 200 gm induced a calcareous deposit in the cortex of the kidney 20 hours after the injection. A high degree of calcareous deposit was also observed in the medulla. The rat was then treated with the organic germanium compound, and after 10 days, most of the calcareous deposits disappeared, and after another 20 days, no trace of calcium was observed. The dead cells were found dispersed, some of them in the interstices of the tissues. After 30 days of germanium therapy, these were replaced by healthy cells, thus showing the efficacy of the treatment. Moreover, another experiment Reference: Miracle Cure aOrganic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980. Material excerpted from: www.regenerativenutrition.com

in which mercury was given to a rat along with germanium compound revealed no toxic symptoms in the rat. Thus, germanium administration appears to have an adequate effect in preventing mercury poisoning (â&#x20AC;Ś)".The data obtained clearly indicated the efficacy of the germanium compound. The best method of solving mercury or cadmium poisoning is simply the prevention of accumulation of mercury or cadmium in the body through constant discharge or a therapy which captures and discharges any amount if accumulated. The structure of my germanium ideally suits it for this task. The organic germanium compound has a cubic structure with three negative oxygen ions around germanium as shown in the subjoined diagram. The negative oxygen ions are at the base of the cubic triangle. Two cubic triangles whose bases face each other make a molecule. Any heavy metal accumulated in a living body is in a state of positive ions which would jump into and be trapped in the mesh structure of the negatively charged oxygen ions of the organic germanium compound taken into the body. The germanium compound with its semi conducting properties is discharged completely from the body - about 20 hours after its intake. On its way it not only captures any heavy metal accumulated in the

A study on Cancer: Interference of selenium germanium and calcium in carcinogenesis of colon cancer. Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi. 1995 Yu B, Wu J, Zhou X. "We studied DMH induced colon cancer in 120 wistar rats, which were divided into 8 groups based on different diets. They were killed and autopsied on 4 weeks after the last injection of DMH. The tumors in various organs including its characteristics, number, site, histological types and ultrastructural changes were observed. The results showed that high fat diet has a significant effect on DMH induced colon cancer. Selenium and calcium can inhibit the effect of DMH and decrease the incidence of colon cancer.

Selenium can also interfere the effect of high fat diet but germanium has no effect on colon carcinogenesis."

body but discharges itself with it from the body. So long as we live in this polluted environment called Earth, we are bound to succumb in the end to pathological changes in our body and mind caused by contaminated food and air. If pollution and invasion of contaminated substances into the body are unavoidable, the only escape seems to me the cleansing of these substances from our body, or making our body resistant to contamination. I am convinced that the organic germanium compound will play a role in achieving this solution.

I touched upon the efficacy of organic germanium in removing contaminated food from the body when describing its efficacy in metal poisoning. In this respect poly biphenyl chloride PCB has to be mentioned. the toxicity of poly biphenyl chloride appearing when its chlorine combines with the biphenyl radical to become organic chlorine. If this chlorine is separated from the biphenyl radical to make it inorganic chlorine, it will lose its toxicity and be discharged from the body. Various means of detaching the chlorine from the biphenyl radical are conceivable in modern molecular chemistry, for instance, radiation may be utilized. The organic germanium compound appears to have a special electrochemical action. In a chemical experiment. a phenomenon which can be regarded as evidence of its action to separate the chlorine has been confirmed. The fact that organic germanium compound orally administered is absorbed by way of the intestines into the blood where it combines with blood cells to circulate through the body has been pathologically confirmed. Consequently, its remarkable efficacy has shown itself in the liver, lungs and brain cells where the blood influx is heavy.

Efficacy in Children One of the striking features of the organic germanium compound is its invariable efficacy on children. For example, a three year old boy suffering from a brain disease called "ligated circle of WiIlis" considered by modern medicine to be extremely difficult to treat was cured completely, after only a comparatively short period of administration of germanium, so that he could go to a kindergarten. My two year old granddaughter contracted acute otitis media and kept crying with pain. We could relieve the pain by giving her 40 ml of water solution of germanium compound and the effect was obtained in about I 0 minutes. Twice more she was given the same dose and the following morning, a copious discharge of pus from the ear occurred, the swelling subsided and she recovered quickly. In addition, the quick efficacy of organic germanium has been demonstrated in such cases as toothache, empyema, alveolar pyorrhea, infantile asthma, and infantile nephritis. Progressive muscular atrophy and mongolism are among the most horrible of diseases that affect children. Organic germanium has shown at least an inhibitory effect on their progress.

Further study is required on the massive dosage required.

No less horrible are extensive burns in children. In such Reference: Miracle Cure a Organic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980. Material excerpted from: www.regenerativenutrition.com

"The therapeutic effect of organic germanium compound, 2carboxyethylgermaniumsesquioxide (Ge132), for experimental osteoporosis was studied using ovariectomized rats maintained on a low calcium containing diet. 2. Serum calcitonin (sCT) level was decreased and serum parathyroid hormone (sPTH) level was increased by ovariectomy and the decrement and increment rates, respectively, were reduced by administration of Ge- 132.

Thus, the sCT/sPTH ratio was greater in the groups given Ge- 132, indicating that the resorption was somehow inhibited by Ge- 132. 3. The transverse strength of femur bone was significantly enhanced by Ge- 132. 4. A trend was found in the group given Ge132 for a larger femur cortical bone index. 5. The relative femur bone wet weight was greater in the group given Ge- 132. 6. These results indicate that Ge- 132 prevents decreased bone strength, and affects the femur cortical bone index, and bone mineral mass caused by osteoporosis."

cases, cure can be obtained in an unbelievably short period by applying an ointment containing organic germanium to the affected area along with oral administration of the germanium solution; to be noted is that the burn heals with hardly any scar. The efficacy is similarly great on chilblains. We have found another remarkable effect of organic germanium on children. My grandchildren taking it regularly proved to be nearly immune to influenza. In addition, when German measles played havoc in their kindergarten, my grandchildren were not affected. The teacher in charge telephoned their mother, warning her to take special care of her children, because the teacher thought their immunity was due to an abnormality in their constitution.

Germanium and the Mind If you consult a medical encyclopaedia regarding mental disease, you will find a large number of terms describing particular types of disease, which may be largely classified into the congenital types and the acquired types. Their causes are usually not clearly indicated. What is certain is that these diseases are related to the brain. Among the various organs of the human body the highest level of oxygen consumption occurs in the brain. The brain consumes 20 % to 30% of the total oxygen supply to the body. According to the medical encyclopaedia oxygen consumption by the brain is often governed by its supply to the brain and is closely related to the blood flow to the brain. Assuming that the thinking faculty hinges on the oxygen consumption of the brain, a better oxygen supply would improve this faculty. It is known through measurement of brain waves that the consumption of oxygen by the brain increases during higher mental activities such as thinking and working on mathematical problems. The organic germanium compound in the bloodstream plays the same role as oxygen, and therefore increases the total amount of oxygen in the body. This is attested by the following report made by the Reference: Miracle Cure a Organic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980. Material excerpted from: www.regenerativenutrition.com

283

biochemical laboratory of Tohoku University, Japan : "An experiment was conducted on the effect of the organic germanium compound on oxygen consumption in the liver and diaphragm of a mouse. The result indicates that the germanium compound inhibited the consumption of oxygen." The amount of oxygen supplied is closely related to the blood flow, which in turn is related to its viscosity which decreases with the increase in the amount of oxygen available. As the viscosity declines, the blood flow eases.

Administration of the organic germanium compound decreases the viscosity of blood considerably. Consequently, organs such as the liver and adrenal glands where the blood influx is high, increase in weight, a fact confirmed in animal experiments.

From this it can be deduced that taking the compound will increase the blood flow to the brain, thereby increasing the oxygen supply to that organ. I am inclined to believe that various types of mental disorders are caused by an oxygen deficiency due to a disorder in the blood circulation in the brain. This view is based on the fact that relief can be obtained to an almost dramatic extent just by supplying sufficient oxygen through administration of the organic germanium compound. Thus, I have succeeded in relieving many from the complaints accompanying softening of the brain, manic depressive psychosis, hysteria and even the after- effects of whiplash injury. Among those helped are promising young men who are now pursuing their respective paths full of vigor, which fills me with indescribable joy and happiness.

Attendance at the World Congress of Natural Medicine The World Congress of Natural Medicine is an organization of scientists who will not conform to modern medical practice, and their first meeting was held in Aix- en- Provence, an ancient capital north of Marseilles, France. Specialists in harmony with the principles of the organization gathered from all over the Western World. Similar meetings have been held since in Biel, Switzerland and in 1977 in Florence, Italy. Since I had repeatedly insisted that my organic germanium did not belong to modern medicine but was nearer Chinese herbs, I too was invited to the meeting. The first meeting of the congress, made up of some 200 kindred spirits, opened in Aix- en- Provence. The lectures were translated simultaneously into English, German, and French so their content could easily be understood by all.

There was excellent rapport between the lecturers and the audience throughout the three hour sessions. As already noted, the congress was made up of scientists who had misgivings about modern (Western)medicine and therefore many of the presentations dealt energetically with Eastern or Oriental therapies such as acupuncture, massage, iridology, ion therapy,

As one contributor said, "Fed- up with poisons and the ineffectiveness of modern medicine, scientists are promoting herbs, or acupuncture, or diet, or electrotherapy, but there are limits to their properties. Especially, there is a feeling of helplessness In the case of the incurable diseases. But organic germanium has broken down the wall wonderfully.

Men have toiled long years to develop natural therapies, but this marvelous product seems to crown them all."

In Conclusion: Letters of gratitude from people who have been suffering from Behcet's syndrome, SMON disease, aplastic anemia, sarcoidosis and incurable hepatitis, which Japan's Ministry of Welfare designates as incurable diseases, fill the files in my study. Here is one short note of gratitude from an 86 year old woman living in y okohama, Japan, who had chronic asthma, white cataracts, was hard of hearing and passed her days in darkness. "Since I have learned about germanium, I have had no more pneumonia, I can hear, and now I am able to read my favorite books again." She enclosed this verse: My umbrella grows heavy day by day But germanium helps me carry on. Each letter is an indictment against modern medicine and a record of people who have found new light in life amidst intense suffering. Just as a small candlelight can be seen from afar in the dark, the fame of my work on the organic germanium compound appears to have reached far corners of the world. Thus numerous letters imploring to obtain the compound are pouring in from such countries as Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Romania, Canada, and the U.S.A.

germanium, within a short time the amount of oxygen in the body is not only greatly increased, but dehydrogenation takes place, and poisonous matter is rendered non poisonous, and in about 20 hours is thrown out of the body. When I say that germanium is effective against all sickness, I can imagine not only doctors but people in general laughing and saying I must be joking. In fact, it is proving effective against all diseases, and I believe the doctors are going to have to reverse their ideas of medical practice, and treat sickness on a holistic basis, since it deals with the whole nature of man and his life environment. I am convinced that this organic germanium compound promises to be more important than any other drug, and its study requires a long period: in spite of the cost research should be continued for the benefit of humanity.

IV. Germanium in the Treatment of Cancer A Challenge to Cancer Cells I have dwelled on aspects of the treatment of diseases of the body and mind in general in the previous section and now I intend to concentrate on that disorder that may affect all parts of the human form, cancer. Once again, bearing in mind for a moment the fact that oxygen is the source of life for all living things, it is all the more understandable how harmful an oxygen deficiency can be.

The internationally famous German scientist, Dr. Otto Warburg, clearly states in his thesis on cancer that the growth of cancer cells is due primarily to cellular oxygen deficiency. Since the normal, healthy cells in our bodies are aerobic, an insufficient supply of oxygen alters the structure of these cells which develop a series of abnormal reactions in order to survive under such conditions. The cells begin glycolysis and turn anaerobic. The nuclei of cells which have undergone such changes are exact replicas of the nuclei of Reference: Miracle Cure a Organic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980. Material excerpted from: www.regenerativenutrition.com

288

malignant cancer cells. An article taken from the Nov. 8, 1973 issue of the Medical Tribune, seems to support the Warburg theory on the ulceration of cancer. It continues to the effect that the theory has met with objections from various quarters, but a number of prominent researchers do support it saying that CANCER CAN BE CONTROLLED by preventing oxygen starvation from occurring in the cells.

Waltenburg, of the University of Minnesota, also agrees with the theory by saying that anti oxidation drugs can inhibit the formation of lung cancer. Indeed, using our organic germanium compound in 20 patients with lung cancer there has been almost 100% recovery. Related also to the above theory is a recent discovery made by Professor Hans Selye of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Montreal. Prof. Selye revealed that if the amount of blood flowing into a living organ is reduced slightly by lightly binding one of its blood vessels, the organ will develop a state of morbidity. Reduction of the blood flow reduces the supply of haemoglobin by which oxygen is supplied, thereby producing an oxygen deficiency with morbidity as a consequence. Another clue to understanding the nature of cancer as a particular disease is to think of disease as a certain state of the human being who is nothing more than an organic mass.

Understanding of the NATURE OF MAN, therefore is essential to treating any disease. Having tackled the question "what is matter')." within the range of limited human knowledge, modern physics has confirmed that man is an: aggregate of minute electrically charged particles. In terms of modern quantum physics, therefore, a disease is interpreted as a "DISTORTION" developing in the aggregate of electrically - charged particles that are close to electrons. That is why electron dynamic action is needed for correcting the "distortion." Herein is found the area where germanium.

A typical semiconductor element, plays a vital part. The electrons of the germanium atom have unique properties that are not found in other atoms. Of its 32 electrons, any one of the four in the outer shell will tend to leap out of its orbit when approached by atoms of other substances it is by taking advantage of this feature that the electronics industry has been able to use germanium for amplification in transistors, and for rectification in diodes.

The living body is a mass of minute electrical particles and each organ of the body functions as its own concentration of mass of these particles.

A study on Cancer, Lung: Effect of combination immunochemotherapy with an organogermanium compound, Ge132, and antitumor agents on C57BL/6 mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL).

Kobayashi H, Komuro T, Furue H. "The antitumor effect of combination immunochemotherapy with Ge- 132 and antitumor agent was studied using C57BL/6 mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL). Ge- 132 was administered orally at a daily dose of 100 mg/kg. Antitumor agents were administered intraperitoneally once a week.

Initially, the effect of combination immunochemotherapy with Ge- 132 and 5- fluorouracil (5FU) was studied on 3LL local tumor growth, pulmonary metastases, survival, delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) and body weight in tumorbearing mice, and the following results were obtained: Inhibition of tumor growth in the combined group; Enhanced anti- metastatic effect; Prolonged survival time, and; Recovery of loss of both DTH and body weight as a result of combination therapy. These antitumor effects were also obtained by adoptive transfer of Ge- 132- stimulated splenocytes in 5FU- treated mice bearing 3LL. These results therefore suggest that the effects of Ge- 132 were expressed through modification of immunocytes.

Furthermore, Ge- 132 enhanced the antitumor activity of bleomycin as well as that of 5- FU. These facts suggested that Ge- 132 is useful for antitumor combination immunochemotherapy."

Accordingly each has a predetermined electrical potential of its own. Since disease results if this potential is disturbed the potential of a diseased organ being different from that of a healthy organ the potential of the afflicted organ must be restored to its normal level to effectively cure the disease. It is by employing an effect in the body similar to its semi conducting effect used in electronics that the germanium compound serves to return this potential to normal and hence cure a disease.

In cancer, for example, it is known that the potential of a cancer cell is markedly different from that of a healthy cell. The potential at a cancer cell wall is high and varies greatly, a factor which may be attributed to the fact that cancer cells multiply at such a rapid speed. The germanium compound, whether administered orally or injected, deprives cancer cells of electrons, and thereby reduces their electrical potential.

In biochemical terms, this means that the germanium compound brings about a dehydrogenation reaction, ultimately suspending the activities of cancer cells. It is also by this mechanism that it acts to prevent metastasis. Other data have established that when the germanium compound is taken in sufficient amounts, radiation sickness as a result of irradiation treatment can be prevented. Radioactive rays, which are gamma rays, emit electrons which destroy cancer cells and tissues. Unfortunately, at the same time, these rays destroy red and white blood cells as well, and have been known to cause the death of patients undergoing prolonged exposure.

Recent data have indicated, however, that the atoms of the germanium compound securely fasten to red blood cells and shelter the cells from oncoming electrons by diverting them around the atom.

Another effect the germanium compound has exhibited in relation to cancer and other diseases, and which may be attributed to its semi conducting characteristic,

291

is that it COMPLETELY KILLS pain - pains after operations, toothaches, headaches, etc.

Pain acts as a sort of a warning given to the brain.

Electrons are relayed via nerve cells from the origin of the pain and are conveyed to the brain where they are sensed as pain. Conventional anaesthesia serves temporally to inhibit the movement of electrons so that we do not feel pain, and the germanium compound, given in sufficient quantities, also does so, as its semi conducting action stops the movement of electrons through nerve cells. Unlike anaesthesia; however, continuous, prolonged administration is possible due to the absence of side effects. Speaking of the absence of adverse side effects for a moment, it may be said that this feature adds one more note of praise which can be heaped on the use of semiconductors in medical treatment.

Physiologically, it is very convenient that germanium is a semiconductor and not a metal, a feature which eliminates the danger of its accumulating in the body. The blood and various cells, having semi conducting properties of their own, repel germanium because of their inherent electrical properties. In fact, one of the major problems now facing our laboratory is

Sera prepared from mice 12, 36 or 48 hours after Ge- 132 treatment had no protective effect.

Circulating interferon (IFN) was induced at 24 hours after administration. The antiviral activity of serum from Ge- 132- treated mice was inactivated by treatment with trypsin, low pH, and anti- IFN- gamma antiserum.

The inactivated preparations of serum IFN induced by Ge- 132 did not show antitumor activity when administered to mice bearing Ehrlich ascites tumors. These results suggest that the antitumor activity in the sera of Ge- 132- treated mice may have been expressed through IFN- gamma which was induced by Ge- 132."

that the present compound is discharged so quickly from the body that extensive efforts are being made to produce a compound which will remain in the body for a longer period. At this point it is difficult to explain scientifically all the medical properties of germanium.

Today, there are tens of thousands of medicines in use and NOT ONE of them utilizes semiconductor properties. I believe they will come to play a major part, and in fact bring about a revolution in medical treatment in the future.

It has long been held by cancer researchers that cancer can be cured if the primary lesion is eliminated. This is not as simple as it sounds, however, as cancer cells mix in the bloodstream and metastasize or migrate throughout the body.

Doctors working with the germanium compound have repeatedly confirmed, however, that patients receiving the compound have shown virtually no metastasis. This alone is tremendous news in cancer treatment since, if metastasis can be prevented, cancer can be stopped with a massive attack on the primary lesion.

Although it is known that the dehydrogenating action of the compound has an inhibitory effect on the growth of cancer cells and plays an important role in halting metastasis, precise details of its mechanism are not yet known. One important clue, however, is provided by Dr. Haruo Sato of Tohoku University ( Japan), an authority on the metastasis of cancer. In a paper which he presented to the Japan Society for Cancer Therapy, he relates that cancer cells that have entered the bloodstream continue to move with the blood flow. If a pathological condition should develop in a blood vessel, they will adhere to the wall of the vessel, eventually infiltrating and destroying it to proliferate outside. Secondary tumors can be prevented if action is taken to prevent the cells from adhering to the vessel. Based on Dr. Haruo Sato's theory. a plausible explanation of how the organic germanium compound functions to prevent metastasis is that the increase in Prevention of Metastasis:

the body's supply of oxygen brought about by the compound sharply reduces blood viscosity, thereby improving the blood flow. From a hydrodynamic point of view, cancer cells as an alien substance will continue to flow with the blood without being pushed aside until they reach the capillaries, where they are oxidized and destroyed by the dehydrogenating action of the compound. This explanation is hypothetical and is still being tested, but is not improbable in the light of the activity of the germanium compound. Information gleaned from our laboratory experiments and clinical observations lend heavy support to the theory that cancer develops due to cellular oxygen deficiencies. Indication is that the high efficacy of the compound in treating lung cancer and liver cancer may be attributed to the activity of the germanium compound in the entire bloodstream flowing through these areas. In one experiment, a group of five mice were given a hypodermic injection of cancer cells after administering a water solution of the organic germanium compound.

Another group of five mice were given a hypodermic injection of cancer cells without administering the solution as a control. The hypodermic injection of cancer cells is a method of inducing cancer in mice

A study on Cancer, Immune System: Antitumor activity of Ge- 132, a new organogermanium compound, in mice is expressed through the functions of macrophages and T lymphocytes.

Suzuki F. "The antitumor activity of Ge- 132 against a variety of allogeneic and syngeneic murine ascites tumors was first evaluated. The antitumor effects of Ge- 132 were observed when mice inoculated with Ehrlich carcinoma (allogeneic) or RL male 1 leukemia (syngeneic) cells were treated orally.

However, Ge- 132 had no activity on a T- cell lymphoma (EL 4, syngeneic) or a methylcholanthreneinduced fibrosarcoma (Meth- A, syngeneic).

The antitumor effect of Ge- 132 in mice was related to the dose administered as well as the administration schedule.

The antitumor activity of Ge- 132 was next studied in mice pretreated with some blockers against immunocompetent cells. The antitumor efficacy of Ge- 132 was not observed when tumor- bearing mice were treated with trypan blue and carrageenan or monoclonal anti- Thy 1.2 antibody.

However, when natural killer cells were eliminated from mice bearing RL male 1 or Ehrlich ascites tumors by treatment with anti- asialo GM 1 antiserum, the antitumor efficacy of the compound was unchanged. These results suggest that Ge- 132 is effective against certain ascites tumors regardless of whether the tumor is syngeneic or allogeneic. Further, its effect might be expressed through host defense mechanisms, including macrophages and/or T lymphocytes."

generally practiced in the Cancer Research Institute. The mice injected invariably developed cancer, except those five mice to which the germanium compound was also administered who failed to develop cancer. This experiment was repeated twice, with the same result (â&#x20AC;Ś).

V. From the Logical World of Science to the Mystic World of God Miracle Waters The writings of Alexis Carrel have had a great influence on my concept of life. In 1912 he won the Nobel prize for physiology and medicine for his origination of the Carrel suture, a technique for suturing blood vessels, and for his work in transplanting internal organs. He was a true scientist but he recognized a world that transcends science. He believed in that world and that is what interested me most. His intimate friend, Dr. Lindbergh. an American physician and doctor of philosophy, wrote this. "Carrel's spirit as with the speed of light crosses from the world of logical science to the mystic world of God and back again." Carrel says this, "We must be freed from the universe created by scientists with their marvelous intelligence. We stand in awe before the great expanse of the material world, but it is too narrow for mankind. I cannot believe that we are hedged in by the confines of this material world. We know that we have a wider expanse that transcends the physical."

Carrel's treatment of the phenomenon of crossing over the boundaries of science began as a result, it is said, of his visit to Lourdes. The sick who go to Lourdes drink the holy water, or those with serious illness bathe in it, and they declare they are healed. Carrel made careful observations of the large number of the sick who came every year and are saved by the "miracle water." This led him to a new concept of science and religion and to the discovery of a great deficiency in modern medicine. As I read in his book of the healing powers of the miracle water its striking similarity to my organic germanium.

Why is germanium so miraculously effective against disease, the puzzle has not yet been solved, but the secret seems to lie in its molecular system.

Organic germanium has a strong hydrogen combining binding force due to the many unstable oxygen atoms in it. When there is an oxygen deficiency in the human system, the blood becomes acid and sickness results. However, organic germanium, because of its special tendency, of hydrogen attachment, unites with the hydrogen which is then thrown off from the body, and the oxygen that remains does its effective work in the cells. This may clarify somewhat the puzzle of the water of Lourdes and the holy water of Yamabuki which have engendered faith in so many people. Indeed, it seems that those who are spiritually motivated are those that have benefited the most from organic germanium compound.

Water of Lourdes In the Pyrenees on the French Spanish border, there is a small village named Lourdes with a population of about 10,000. Numerous hotels boarding houses and inns are clustered all over town and around its famous cathedral and it's even more famous vicinity,

A study on Cancer: Effect of NK- 421 (Bestatin) and Ge132 on the cytotoxicity of spleen cells obtained from the tumor- bearing mice. Gan To Kagaku Ryoho. 1982 Oct;9(10):17717.

Ono M, Oka T, Yoshihara H, Tanaka N, Miwa H, Mannami T, Konaga E, Orita K. "The effect of NK- 421(Bestatin) and Ge- 132 (an organic germanium compound) on the ADCC and natural killing (NK) activities of the spleen cells of MH- 134 tumor- bearing mice were studied. In the tumor- bearing mice, the ADCC activity was enhanced, and NK activity was reduced in accordance with the progress of the tumor. By oral administration of Bestatin at doses of 5, 10 and 50 mg/kg, ADCC activity was potentiated, and at a dose of 10 mg/kg, NK activity was significantly increased.

Intraperitoneal administration of Ge132 at 50 mg/kg potentiated the ADCC activity of tumor- bearing mice. A higher activity was observed in the plastic dish adherent fraction. Ge- 132 also potentiated the reduced NK activity of tumor- bearing mice to higher level than normal mice. The elevated activities of ADCC and NK following Bestatin and Ge- 132 administration were decreased with anti- Thy- 1 antibody and complement; however, the percent reduction was lower compared to that of the control cancer animals. This result indicates that Bestatin and Ge- 132 may act on non- T cells and augment ADCC and NK activities."

accommodating guests from all over the world. By far the largest contingent of these people is comprised by the ailing who seek a cure with the help of the healing waters gushing out of the rock on which the cathedral is built.

The August 9, 1971. issue of the Newsweek carried the following story. "A three year old girl contracted kidney cancer. One of the kidneys was excised, but the cancer spread to the cranial bone. She became emaciated her hair had fallen out and her skin had turned yellow. Her whole system was affected by cancer and the doctors had given up her case as hopeless. As a last resort, the parents sat her in a wheelchair and went to Lourdes, where the cancer stricken girl was dipped in the sacred water or which she also drank. No sign of improvement appeared, and the discouraged parents brought their daughter back to Glasgow, Scotland, to let her die at home. On the morning of the third day after their return, the girl suddenly sat up in bed and asking for an orange she began eating it. From then on her condition began to improve and several days later, THE TUMOR disappeared and she was once a gain a healthy girl." This story was accompanied by a photograph showing the girl in good spirits. This even created a major sensation in the medical circles of Scotland, and the fame of the miraculous water of Lourdes spread widely. I have analyzed some of the "miracle water" and found that it contains a relatively high amount of germanium. It must be said that I have no information as to what other compounds are contained in the Lourdes water but in comparison with other waters the amount of germanium was far greater. In Man, the Unknown, Dr. Alexis Carrel writes : "Man enchanted by the remarkable progress in the sciences of lifeless matter (such as physics and chemistry) has not realized that the body and mind of man are governed by laws as precise as those governing the stars, and yet they are far more mysterious; moreover, man does not know that he is on the verge of danger as soon as he violates these laws." In the same book he says, ''I have attempted to make clear the Reference: Miracle Cure a Organic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980. Material excerpted from: www.regenerativenutrition.com

fact that things still unknown remain to be solved, but that there are things that are entirely beyond the range of human knowledge." Organic germanium is a substance directly bound up in some way with life, and this discovery has impelled me into the mysterious world within nature that is beyond the wisdom of man.

VII. A Prayer for Germanium "Friends, those who touch this touch humanity" Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass. I have already written thousands of words to describe the efficacy of the germanium compound and its background, but feel I have not done it full justice. I have whole- heartedly devoted myself to the study of germanium for close to 30 years. The historical background I have given with many observations I connected and various ideas and thoughts that have occurred to me based on these observations. I am perhaps too eager and too hasty to make public what I have learned about germanium which I am convinced everyone on would welcome. In my eagerness perhaps I have written without restraining my own idiosyncrasy before attempting to undertake out the necessary steps

Antimutagenic, DNA Repair: Organogermanium compounds as inhibitors of the activity of direct acting mutagens in Salmonella typhimurium.

Arzneimittelforschung.

Schimmer O, Eschelbach H, Breitinger DK, Grutzner T, Wick H. "The organogermanium compounds bis(D,L- lactato)germanium(IV), bis(Llactato)germanium(IV), bis (thiolactato)germanium(IV) and bis(thioglycolato)germanium(IV) were tested for their antimutagenic activity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100. Each compound showed moderate activity against the mutagenic effect of nitroaromatic compounds and weak effects against the mutagenic activity of ethylmethane sulfonate.

No inhibition of mutagenicity was observed against the indirect acting promutagens benzo(a)pyrene and 2aminoanthracene. The compounds differed only quantitatively in their antimutagenicity spectrum. It is concluded from these results that an intracellular mechanism is involved in the inhibition of ethylmethane sulfonate- induced mutagenicity. The effect is probably produced, at least partially, at the level of DNA repair.

for the legal and social decorum that are required in publishing novel ideas and unconventional therapeutical means.

In this connection, I recall a story about a chemist who was asked to analyze a transparent liquid in a test tube to identify it. He immediately made its analysis and reported that the liquid in question consisted of a large quantity of water and a tiny quantity of calcium, sodium and potassium salt. He could not find out that the liquid was actually tears shed by a mother in sorrow. At the outset, I intended to describe the therapeutical efficacy of germanium. Gradually, however, I have been led to believe the existence of something in germanium that cannot be fully explained in terms of science in its present stage of development, when I see that obstinate diseases for which modern medicine is powerless are successfully cured by our germanium therapy.

Now I consider that the answer lies in the realm unknowable by science referred to

by Alexis Carrel. I would like to stress the need for scientists, particularly medical scientists, to free themselves from the shackles of straitjacketed thought patterns that compel them to be "one dimensional human beings." and to enter into meditative thinking of higher dimensions.

Physicians tend to depend on medical treatises that only represent the surface of a mirror, and fail to see anything through it. All they do is follow what appears on the surface. Such a mono dimensional conduct will hardly succeed in saving lives. Webster's Dictionary defines the word "VISION" as "power of perceiving mental images by sharp prophetic sight or rigorous spirit." Vision should be applied to the study of germanium which must be conducted in a more rigorous manner with thinking on a higher dimensional level than that in other types of research.

Only a man who has been captured by the mysterious charm of germanium can succeed in this research. The effort involved is precisely the one needed for realizing a Reference: Miracle Cure a Organic Germanium book written by Dr. Asai 1980. Material excerpted from: www.regenerativenutrition.com

299

vision. Moreover, there must be careful observation not to overlook any phenomenon that is encountered by filling the mind with the laws of the great universe. Over the months and years, I have tested organic germanium compound conscientiously, and put it out only with absolute proof based on strict objectivity.

In the words of Zen is the expression saitaku doki, which means that when an egg is at the point of hatching, the mother bird and the chick in the egg both peck simultaneously to break the shell, a timing and interaction which demonstrates a marvellous providence in nature. In the same way there is a mysterious saitaku doki between the sickness and germanium.

When we recognize this wonderful truth and mysterious law in the universe, I believe we can then, for the first time, really understand germanium. I can only long, night and day, for germanium therapy to become universally available. I deem it advisable to treat organic germanium not as a pharmaceutical but as a means of a therapeutical system which we should build for saving mankind. Germanium has much in common with Chinese medicine, as I have pointed out earlier, and is in harmony with the Oriental medicine, which means that "Natural Therapy Will be Perfected With Germanium:

Effect of 3oxygermylpropionic Acid Polymer (SK- 818) on the Incidence of Spontaneous Leukemia in AKR Mice Haruhisa Fujita, Masayasy Kurono, Shigeshi Toyoshima "The effects of 3oxygermylpropionic acid polymer (proxigermanium, or SK- 818) on the incidence of the spontaneous leukemia in AKR mice were examined.

The occurrence of leukemia was indicated by a greater increase of weights of the spleen, thymus, and mesenteric lymph nodes in these mice than in non- leukemic C3H mice.

Proxigermanium inhibited the increase of the organ weights accompanying leukemia. When administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg orally twice a week for five months between 4 and 9 months of age, proxigermanium had a marked inhibitory effect on the increase of the organ weights in AKR mice. These results suggest that proxigermanium powerfully inhibits spontaneous leukemia from occurring in AKR mice."

Article: ORGANIC GERMANIUM / GERMANIUM SESQUIOXIDE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; SCIENCE WEBSITE The Authoritative Germanium Sesquioxide Resource. he most comprehensive compilation of published abstracts for germanium sesquioxide studies. The goal of this website is to provide rapid access to public information in a format which is simple to navigate. While examining the content contained on this site, we urge you to keep in mind an important fact. Having something peer reviewed and published lends a certain level of credibility. However, we are all subject to the frailties and errors of being human. For this reason, you will find information which is apparently contradicting. If we look closely, there is always a logical explanation as to why such contradictions surface but this extends beyond the scope and purpose of the site and is best addressed in a different forum.

Editor’s note: I sent the following E mail to the editor of a web site called Science Daily ("Your link to the latest research news" http://www.sciencedaily.com/ ) after reading a a press release posted at that site from Duke University Medical Center concerning a 'new' pilot study that they were conducting that 'suggested' that flaxseed and a low fat diet can help with prostate cancer. While the contents of the Duke press release were innocuous enough, what annoyed me was the lack of awareness (and recognition) that the definitive research on flaxseed/diet and the prevention/cure of cancers (and many other disease conditions) has already been researched, documented, and published over 50 years ago by (six times) Nobel Awarad Nominee, Dr. Joanna Budwig of Germany.

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) 338

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

339

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."

340

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 his books uniquely interesting and easy to read. He shares his open-minded opinion to 341

health care, often amazing his readers by telling them how to jumpstart the powers of natural healing and make them work for them.

With his work, Peter brings a natural ALTERNATIVE to hospitals, medical doctors, butchery, chemical drugs, and personal physical, emotional and financial bankruptcy caused by our system of disease management.

The authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal commitment is to integrate an alternative among standardized dysfunction of chronic diseases with medical doctors, drugs and agonizing surgical operations. Peter dedicated his professional life to building and integrating his practice of health enhancement amongst those who are interested. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called "Building POWERFUL HEALTH", also known as HAVASI LIFE BUILDING. In comparison to the standard treatment, HAVASI Life Building is more fun, far less costly, and it allows you to live your life to the fullest potential!
