"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease." The new strategy is negotiating with bacteria rather than fighting them. Use xylitol to create peaceful coexistence with Streptococcus mutans (tooth decay) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (ear, sinus and bronchial infections). Use D-mannose to create peaceful coexistence with Escherichia coli (bladder infections). Live bacteria in yoghurt and sauerkraut help maintain a population of healthful bacteria within our digestive system. Be sure to purchase your sauerkraut from the refrigerated section of the grocery store. The most effective way to stop antibiotic resistance is to reduce our reliance on and use of antibiotics.... Better feed and a cleaner, more natural environment are safer and more effective ways of reducing infections, both in animals and humans. - A.H. Jones, D.O. When the immune system is stressed, candida can morph from a harmless single cell form into a tube shape (hypha) that sprouts branches (mycelia) that penetrate cells and spread the infection throughout the body. 15% of the 1.5 million cancers that occur throughout the world each year are caused by infection. - Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention 6: 6(JUN 1997):387-400. Vitamin D is the body's natural antibiotic and antiviral compound - one that could make the difference between life and death. - Dr. David Williams Sunlight may be the best antifungal, antibiotic and antiseptic. - Marc Sorenson, EdD. Curcumin kills malaria parasites. Biochem Biophys Res Comm 05;326:472-474 Malaria may also be killed by wormwood (Artemesia annua), known as Qing hao in Chinese medicine. Sodium chlorite (also known as Miracle Mineral Supplement) is reported to destroy bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites such as malaria. Read about it 1, 2, 3 and watch the DVD. Sodium chlorite is reported to break up biofilms throughout the body, thereby exposing pathogens hiding beneath biofilm to attack from the immune system. Our preference is to take a few drops of sodium chlorite with water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. The taste is OK and stomach acid will activate it. "Oxygen will destroy malaria." - McCabe, page 18. "In my clinic in Uganda, I used bio-oxidation to treat everything from malaria to AIDS - and with astonishing results!" - William Campbell Douglass, M.D. Enzymes in the body can deactivate viruses. The unique properties of coconut oil make it, in essence, a natural antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiprozoal food. - Bruce Fife, N.D. page 64 Eat some coconut oil every day. "The application of electricity to the blood eliminates ALL viruses, parasites, microbes, fungi, pathogens, bacteria from the blood." - Dr. Bob Beck. Do a search of the Internet for Bob Beck and try his protocol. Electro-medicine is economical and effective. "Give me a chance to create fever and I will cure any disease," said the great physician Parmenides, 2,000 years ago. Fever is one of the body's defense and healing forces. High temperature speeds up metabolism, and inhibits the growth of an invading virus or bacteria. See Hyperthermia. "Iodine is by far the best antibiotic, antiviral and antiseptic of all time." - Dr. David Derry Many autoimmune diseases disappear with Earthing. |
Reducing these infections by strengthening your immune system, iodine, hyperthermia, exercise, oxygen, meditation, electromedicine, glyconutrients and other means can help alkalize your body and reduce your risk of cancer. Some of these infections can be treated successfully by your doctor, some cannot. Using an antibiotic to remove an infection does nothing to prevent future infections. An ongoing program of personal hygiene and health maintenance must include ways to prevent, control and remove infections. There are more than a thousand different organisms that commonly make their home in and on the human body. Some of these organisms are potentially harmful, some are beneficial, and most are neutral. The populations of these different organisms will fluctuate depending on whether or not the environment provided by your body's interior and exterior is favorable to their growth. Environmental factors influencing this include nutrients, pH, temperature, oxygen level, competing populations, and the strength of your immune system. Undigested carbohydrates in your digestive system will feed both bacteria and fungi. As we have noted elsewhere, the saliva enzyme that digests carbohydrates works best in an alkaline media and is destroyed by mild acid. Therefore, if the saliva is acidic then presumably an abundance of undigested carbohydrates will pass through your digestive system. Not only will this food fail to nourish you, but it will instead feed and promote expansion of the bacterial and fungal populations within your body. Some bacteria such as Helicobacter pylori eat H+ ions. So any part of your body that is or becomes acidic will provide a home for them. Cancer favors an environment that is both sweet and acidic.
Candida Candida is a yeast or fungus that lives in everyone. When the immune system becomes weakened, a Candida outbreak can occur in the mouth, esophagus, digestive tract, skin, mucus membranes, vagina, urinary tract. It can enter the blood and spread throughout the body to include the kidneys, liver, bones, muscles, joints, spleen, or eyes causing a variety of diseases (including arthritis) depending on where it manifests. When it enters the bloodstream and spreads throughout the body, about 50% of these cases are fatal. Fungus feeds on sugar and carbohydrates such as are found in grains. An anti-candida diet will minimize these foods. Sugar and grains are also the main dietary sources of mycotoxins. High blood levels of vitamin D can control fungal infections. Eating coconut oil daily is a good way to control fungal infections. Iodine is effective against fungi. You can rub iodine on your skin each day and the body will absorb what it needs. Or you can consume potassium iodide. Both forms of iodine are used by the body. Or take one tablet of Iodoral daily.
DMG (Dimethylglycine) is
an inexpensive nutritional supplement that strengthens the body in a wide
variety of ways, including improving the immune system. DMG has anti-fungal
properties. Epstein Barr Virus Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) is found in about 95% of the population. There is no drug treatment for EBV. In teenagers, EBV causes infectious mononucleosis. In adults, EBV is associated with chronic fatigue syndrome and certain cancers (Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma). Fifty percent of breast cancers studied contained evidence of infection with the Epstein-Barr virus. The virus was not found in the surrounding normal breast tissue. Lipid-coated microorganisms such as Epstein Barr virus are killed by medium chain fatty acids produced by the digestion of coconut oil. - Bruce Fife, N.D. page 68
A study of athletes experiencing fatigue and declining performance due to
Epstein Barr Virus demonstrated that consuming a probiotic supplement (Lactobacillus
acidophilus) daily for a month cleared up the problem. - Brit J
Sports Med 06;40(4):351-354. We recommend oxygen, sunlight/vitamin
D,
iodine, DMG and a strong immune system to control viral infections.
BK Virus and JC Virus "BK" and "JC" are the
initials of the patients in whom these viruses were first discovered. Up to 80% of the population have these
viruses. The viruses tend to remains latent until a person experiences some form of
immunodeficiency or immunosuppression. These viruses generally affect the kidneys and urinary
tract. BK virus, JC virus and the SV40 virus are all genetically similar.
Simian Virus 40
Contaminants have been found in vaccinations that may cause cancer,
such as the monkey virus SV40 that contaminated all polio vaccinations given
between 1955 and 1961 (the polio vaccine is grown on monkey tissue). In
fact, despite industry assurances to the contrary, there is
evidence
that SV40 continued to contaminate polio vaccinations given to infants in
the USA up to the year 2000 when the vaccination was discontinued.
Genital Herpes Genital herpes
simplex virus affects one in four women and one in five men. There is no drug cure. Chlamydia, human papilloma virus, and genital herpes all contribute to cervical cancer.
The herpes family of viruses includes the Epstein-Barr Virus and
Cytomegalovirus, which are associated with various cancers. Lipid-coated microorganisms such as Herpes simplex virus are killed by medium chain fatty acids produced by the digestion of coconut oil. - Bruce Fife, N.D. page 68

herpes zoster virus) try the herbal formula Shingles Relief from

Human Papilloma Virus Human papilloma virus (genital warts) affects the sexually active population. About 80% of women are infected with HPV by age 50.
Modern medicine offers no cure. HPV is associated with anal, bladder and genital cancers in both men and women. Chlamydia trachomatis, human papilloma virus, and genital herpes all contribute to cervical cancer. Chlamydia Pneumoniae 50% of the population shows evidence of having had Chlamydia pneumoniae infection by age 20. It
is safe to say that nearly every adult has had this bacteria in their body. Symptoms of Chlamydia pneumoniae infection include a cough.
From your lungs, this bacteria has easy access to your bloodstream and the
rest of your body. The common respiratory bacteria Chlamydia pneumoniae may play a key role in coronary artery disease, the leading cause of death. Chlamydia pneumoniae
may also play a role in Alzheimer’s disease, asthma, and arthritis. Lipid-coated microorganisms such as Chlamydia pneumoniae are killed by medium chain fatty acids produced by the digestion of coconut oil. - Bruce Fife, N.D. page 68 Chlamydia Trachomatis Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria is reported to infect about a million Americans annually, but the total number is unknown because most have mild or no symptoms. Untreated Chlamydia can cause problems including arthritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and sterility. Chlamydia, human papilloma virus, and genital herpes all contribute to cervical cancer.
Tuberculosis (TB) The CDC estimates that about 1/3
of the population of the planet have the TB bacteria in their body. The
disease develops when the immune system cannot keep the tubercle bacilli
under control. See our section on
healthy lungs.
Biofilm
Communities of bacteria protected by
biofilm
are invisible to your immune system and shielded from even the most
powerful antibiotics and steroids. These biofilm protected
communities of bacteria may be responsible for chronic inflammatory
conditions. Many autoimmune diseases are associated with chronic
inflammation. Cancer may actually be
caused by chronic inflammation. Diabetic wounds that
formerly resulted in amputations are now being cured by treating
biofilm.
Inflammatory heart disease may be associated with
Chlamydia infections. "What we are only
starting to realize today is that at least 80% of all the infections
we treat are caused by biofilm bacteria..." - Dr. Randall Wolcott These biofilm protected communities of bacteria
can consist of dozens of different kinds of bacteria and fungi
living together beneath the same biofilm. Biofilms can be broken down by lactoferrin,
xylitol, D-mannose, enzymes, oxygen, garlic, green tea polyphenols
and bacteriophages (bacteria eating viruses). Lactoferrin works by removing iron, which
bacteria require. Men and post-menopausal women can also reduce
their iron by donating blood. We strongly recommend
toothpaste
1,
2 that contains xylitol. This protects both the teeth and gums
from biofilm and the organisms it conceals. There is a close
correlation between unhealthy (inflamed) gums and cancer. Children
who started a regular program of chewing xylitol gum one to two
years before their permanent teeth erupted had
90% fewer
cavities in their adult teeth compared to the control group five years later.
A xylitol nasal spray is available to flush fungi, bacteria and
allergens from your sinuses. There is much information on the Internet
regarding biofilms.
Helicobacter Pylori Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a cork screw shaped bacteria that according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) inhabits about two thirds of the world's population. H. pylori can damage the stomach lining leading to ulcers, and may also be involved in heart disease, autoimmune diseases, skin diseases and several cancers (stomach, pancreas and larynx).
Inflammation of the stomach lining caused by H. pylori is the leading risk
factor for stomach cancer. Regular consumption of probiotic bacteria (yoghurt, etc.) offers a natural means to help control Helicobacter pylori. - Journal of Applied Microbiology Volume 93 Issue 6 Page 1083 - December 2002 H. pylori is also killed by the amino acid glycine. - Antimicrob Agents Chemother 04;48(10):3782-8. You will find glycine in whey protein powder. H. pylori is also killed by a chemical in broccoli sprouts, which also have an anti-cancer effect. - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences May 28, 2002. Lipid-coated microorganisms such as H. pylori are killed by medium chain fatty acids produced by the digestion of coconut oil. - Bruce Fife, N.D. page 68.
DMG is useful in controlling ulcers. A healthy digestive tract is called by some doctors your "second immune system".
Also see the treatments for Lyme disease below.
Syphilus Syphilus is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the cork screw shaped bacterium Treponema pallidum. The incidence of syphilus is increasing at about 12% per annum. However, syphilus in women is declining. All of the increase in syphilus is in the male homosexual community. In its early stages, syphilus is easily cured with antibiotics. Long term syphilus infection has been called “the great imitator” because so many of the signs and symptoms are indistinguishable from those of other diseases. Hyperthermia is a traditional treatment for syphilus.
Iodine
in amounts greater than one gram daily.
Also see the treatments for Lyme disease below. Lyme Disease Lyme disease is caused by a cork screw shaped spirochetes bacteria
(Borrelia burgdorferi) very similar to syphilus (Treponema
pallidum). The bacteria is spiral shaped and by rotating it can self-propel itself through your tissues, tendons, muscles, heart and brain. It used to be thought that Lyme disease was caused only by being bitten by a tick. However, it is now believed that the bacteria can be spread by other insects including fleas, mosquitoes and mites, as well as directly between humans via blood, urine, tears, semen, breast milk, cord blood, and vaginal secretions. "More than 50% of chronically ill people may have Lyme contributing to their condition." - Dr. Cowden Lyme disease may be present in the body with no symptoms until a trauma weakens the immune system. Then Lyme disease can present symptoms that mimic over 350 other diseases. People diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue syndrome and other degenerative diseases could have Lyme Disease. Lyme disease is the new "great imitator". Doctors familiar with Lyme disease estimate that as many as 20 million Americans may be infected and that the rate of new infections is very high. Lyme disease is very difficult to treat. Doctors sometimes put patients on antibiotics for many years. Lyme has a
dormant cyst stage during which it is immune to attack by the various
treatments. This is why treatment for Lyme disease continues for a
year or more, so that as the cysts return to the more active bacterial form,
they can be destroyed. Oxygen is gaining popularity as a treatment for Lyme disease. Lyme bacteria is NOT anaerobic. It is called "microaerophyllic" which means that it requires a small amount of oxygen. However, it can be killed by large amounts of oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen chambers are expensive, especially if you need to use them repeatedly. Plus, there may be places in the body where the oxygen does not penetrate to the degree necessary to kill the bacteria. Therefore, we would suggest that oxygen is an important part of a program to treat Lyme disease and that other treatments are also required. Plus, we would suggest that EWOT is a more economical form of oxygen therapy that can be done at home. One herb that has been found to be effective is
Uncaria tomentosa (Cat's Claw). This herb is also sometimes used to treat cancer. There
is an extract of Cat's Claw called "Samento" from
Nutramedix that is reported to
be particularly effective against Lyme disease. Being a nutritional
supplement rather than a drug, Nutramedix is not permitted to say much about
it. However, there is an abundance of information on the Internet. There is
another herbal supplement called "Amazon Spiro" reported to be effective
against Lyme disease. Amazon Spiro contains extracts of six rainforest herbs and is
available from Raintree Nutrition.
The six herbs are traditional remedies for syphilus. Due to the similarity
between syphilus and Lyme (B. burgdorferi),
Dr. Leslie Taylor tested these herbs for Lyme with good results. The
combination of herbs works even better.
Many
people with Lyme disease are reporting good results with sodium chlorite
(also known as Miracle Mineral Supplement). More information on Lyme disease:
http://www.samento.com.ec *** For all infections, we suggest consulting with your doctor, plus a comprehensive program of health promotion using the home therapies promoted on this web site. Sunlight is a natural disinfectant and everyone should expose their skin to a moderate amount of sunlight regularly, use a UVB lamp and take vitamin D supplements. Oxygen is a natural disinfectant and Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) is a powerful and economical treatment that can be done at home. Hyperthermia helps to purify the body and should be enjoyed regularly by everyone. A strong immune system is maintained by a healthy diet including freshly made fruit & vegetable juices, glyconutrients plus regular exercise, and meditation. Electromedicine provides an economical way to attack stubborn infections. Iodine is effective against bacteria, viruses and fungi. Everyone should consume a little iodine each day, either by rubbing tincture of iodine on the skin or consuming potassium iodide. DMG strengthens the immune system in a variety of ways. All of these can be an important part of your healthy lifestyle, preventing disease as well as treating it. In the following table we have highlighted in yellow the cancers that may be prevented by a high blood level of vitamin D.
List of human
cancers associated with infectious pathogens. At present, about 15%
of all cancers are known to be directly caused by infectious
pathogens.[30] This figure, however, might be revised upwards in
future, if the pathogens currently associated with cancers (such as
those listed to follow) are proved to actually be the cause of those
cancers. (Note: for the sake of completeness, some cancers that are
known to be caused by pathogens are included in the list, in
addition to the cancers associated with pathogens.)
"I believe that, conservatively, 15 to 20 percent of all cancer is caused by infections; however, the number could be larger - maybe double." - Dr. Andrew Dannenberg "A medical textbook used to
educate Johns Hopkins medical students
