Vitamin D is the body's natural antibiotic
and antiviral compound - one that could make the difference between life
and death. - Dr. David Williams
Ultraviolet light is blocked by glass. People should spend more time outdoors in natural sunlight. Sunlight is a natural disinfectant.
The common respiratory bacteria Chlamydia pneumoniae may play a key role in coronary artery disease, the leading cause of death.
The healthy human gut contains 3 pounds of friendly bacteria. These are destroyed by chlorinated drinking water and by antibiotics (including residues of antibiotics in non-organic meat and dairy), with unfortunate consequences.
The use of antibiotics often results in increased susceptibility to infection by fungi, yeasts, bacteria, viruses and parasites.
In the past 100 years, reductions of infectious disease are primarily due to improvements in hygiene and better diet (due to the invention of refrigeration and modern transportation).
Epidemological studies show that medical treatment and immunization have made virtually no contribution to the decline of infectious disease.
Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses.
Viruses are "anaerobic" and thrive in the absence of oxygen.
- Dr. Kurt Donsbach
Colloidal silver kills bacteria and, if the silver particles are small enough, may even kill viruses. It is the electrical charge of the colloidal silver particles that kills bacteria and viruses. Do a search of the Internet for "colloidal silver machine" and learn how to make your own at home.
Electrical charge to kill viruses can also be created by other means.
Do an Internet search for Dr. Hulda Clark's "Zapper" and Bob Beck's devices. Build your own with parts from Radio Shack. Electro medicine may be the wave of the future, yet it is readily available now.
During the 1980's infectious disease was the #5 killer. It is now #4 after heart disease, cancer and iatrogenic (physician caused) disease.
Foods containing abundant nucleotides strengthen the immune system.
Medicinal mushrooms are readily available.
Iodine is a natural disinfectant in our body fluids.
A mixture of 50:50 potassium iodide and DMSO can
be rubbed on swollen or infected areas of your body. The DMSO assists
penetration and the iodide kills bacteria. Read this

Intravenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an effective treatment for infectious diseases and may even be of value for emphysema, heart disease, arthritis, cancer and many other diseases. All body tissues contain catalase, and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of catalase is reduced to oxygen and water.
UBI therapy (Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, also called photo - luminescence) is a safe and effective treatment worth trying for virtually all diseases that resist cure by other means (cancer, arthritis, asthma, pneumonia, AIDS, tetanus, rabies, polio, hepatitis,...). About 100 mls of blood are drawn, exposed to ultraviolet light and then returned to your body. Simple!
Ultraviolet light (UBI Therapy) not only kills bacteria and viruses, but it has another remarkable ability - "the stimulation of the immune system and various enzyme systems." -
Dr. Douglass,
page 11.
UBI therapy increases oxygen absorption by the blood, creates an "autogenous (self-generated) vaccine" and inactivates toxins (from viruses, tetanus, botulism, septicemia, rabies, snake, scorpion, etc.).
Here is another alternative to antibiotics for bacterial infection. Some viruses called "bacteriophage" are friendly in the sense that they eat bacteria. Every bacteria has a specific bacteriophage that will eat it. Phages can be isolated from hospital sewage, cultured to increase their quantity, and then can be eaten or applied in the form of a nasal mist or enema. Due to the specificity of the bacteriophage to each bacteria, bacteriophages may never be profitable (compared to "broad-spectrum" drugs) for mass production by drug companies. However, every region of the world would benefit by having a publicly funded facility for isolating and culturing bacteriophages. "Phage therapy" is a low cost and highly effective medical treatment that every country can afford. The treatment costs about the same as a culture of yogurt. For over fifty years the procedures for finding and using phages have been developed at the T’blisi Institute in the former Soviet state of Georgia. The T’blisi institute has fallen into disrepair since the disintegration of the Soviet Union and is badly in need of funds.
Robert E. Lincoln, M.D. used bacteriophage to successfully treat many diseases, including cancer. In 1975, Dr. Lincoln's methods were removed from the ACS Unproven Methods list, however, it is virtually impossible for patients to receive bacteriophage treatment in the United States. - Moss, pages 114-115.
Every cell has a resonance frequency. Knowledge of these frequencies for bacteria, viruses, etc. can be used to generate the right frequency to kill the organism. The frequency generator can use sound or electro-
magnetism (light) frequencies. This is the technology that Dr. Rife developed back in the 1930's to cure cancer and other diseases. He would biopsy the cancer cells, find their resonance frequency in the test tube and then expose the body of the cancer patient to that frequency. His results were excellent. His work was destroyed by the medical establishment. (Resonance therapy is not good for chemical company sales).
There is even a certain frequency that works as an anesthetic. (Also not good for chemical company sales).
Radio anesthesia frequencies are also effective in farmers fields to prevent germination of weeds! (Again, not good for chemical company sales).
The vibration of crystals can reduce the cluster size of water.
Each crystal vibrates at a certain precise frequency. This is why quartz crystal is used in a watch. The purity of the crystal is more important than its size. The ancient Vedic science of Jyotish used these frequencies to promote health and vitality. The crystal is worn touching the skin. The Jyotishi can select the proper crystal(s) for each individual. The Sanskrit word "jyotish" means "brilliance" or "inner light" and refers to a level of consciousness where everything is known with mathematical precision.
Use the power of your mind to strengthen your
immune system. Listen to the cancer cd.
Strengthen the power of your mind with
meditation.
It is time for humanity to learn about frequencies, resonance, harmonics, and coherence in biological systems. (Coherence is the phenomenon that makes the laser so powerful.)
Normal light is incoherent light, vibrating in random directions and phases over a wide range of frequencies. In contrast, coherent light vibrates in phase. Coherent light interacts with matter very strongly, and that is when remarkable things can happen.
During meditation subtle changes occur in how the nervous system functions, resulting in increased coherence. TM meditators have significantly more coherence and less disease.
The human body is an antenna. It can both receive and broadcast. The secret lies in coherence. Coherent light (the laser) can travel to the moon and back. Likewise, coherent influences from the human nervous system can radiate into the environment for a great distance. Meditators find that their meditation is "deeper" when they meditate together. They receive coherence from each other, enjoy a "deeper" meditation, and then broadcast greater coherence back. |
Fiber
"Fiber helps to prevent constipation, colon cancer, gall bladder disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and overweight. Fiber is the structural material in plants that cannot be broken down by your enzyme systems. When you eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans, fiber helps you to control your weight because it cannot be absorbed and makes you feel full without contributing calories. It lowers high blood pressure by helping you to lose weight. It prevents heart attacks and gall bladder disease by lowering cholesterol by binding to bile acids in your intestines and carrying them from your body. Your liver manufactures cholesterol from bile acids. By preventing the absorption of bile acids, it prevents gall stones from forming. Fiber prevents constipation by holding water in your colon and softening waste. It prevents colon cancer by moving cancer causing chemicals faster through your colon." - Dr. Gabe Mirkin
***
Oatmeal is an excellent source of soluble and insoluble fiber. The soluble fiber in oatmeal is mostly beta 1,3 glucan which stimulates the white blood cells known as macrophages and neutrophils that recognize and destroy cancer cells, viruses, etc. |
If you are already healthy and want a juice that contains lots of fiber, the
Vita-Mix is excellent. Just cover the organic fruits or vegetables with water and the Vita-Mix will convert then to a delicious veggie shake or fruit smoothie. If you freeze the fruits and replace the water with ice, the result is fresh ice sherbet. The Vita-Mix will even blend in apple seeds which contain vitamin b17, so we put in the whole apple including the core.
You can also make juice in your blender. Chop the fruits or vegetables and put them in the blender. Cover them with water (without water you end up with a mush). Then blend it. Making your juices this way is EASY (you need to wash very few fruits or vegetables), ECONOMICAL (virtually none of the fruit or vegetable is discarded), and HEALTHY (you consume the whole fruit or vegetable). You can liquefy and drink any fruit or vegetable that you can eat raw. By replacing the cold water with hot water from your kettle, you can make a hot beverage or uncooked soup. If you are on your third set of teeth, knowing how to use your kitchen blender in this manner can vastly improve your nutrition. Your blender is not as powerful as a Vita-Mix, so it is probably a good idea not to try to make ice cream or sherbet in your blender.
You can monitor the nutritional quality of your fruits and vegetables with a refractometer.
Whey powder can be a good addition to your smoothie. "Several components of whey - including the immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, lactoferricin, sphingolipids, lactoperoxidase, and glycomacropeptides - can inhibit the growth of a wide range of bacteria, fungi, yeast, and protozoa." - Dr. David Williams Alternatives April 2005 page 171. Whey powder contains a lot of milk sugar (lactose) and you may find whey powder with added lactase easier to digest. Lactase is the enzyme that digests lactose.
Dietary
supplementation with DMG (Dimethylglycine) improves the functioning of
all aspects of the immune system. DMG is anti-inflammatory, antiviral,
antibacterial and anti-fungal. DMG protects against radiation. DMG protects
against vaccines. DMG strengthens the immune system to attack tumors. DMG
together with B vitamin supplementation (folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin
B12) does many wonderful things to promote health. For
more information read the book Building Wellness with
DMG - How a Breakthrough Nutrient Gives Cancer, Autism & Cardiovascular
Patients a Second Chance at Health, by Roger V. Kendall, Ph.D.
Lactoferrin is found in colostrum, which is the
initial breast milk. Lactoferrin turns on genes that initiate your immune
response. If you were never breast fed, you might consider supplementing
your diet with lactoferrin for a month or two.
Lactoferrin is
safe to consume, and some people receive great benefit from it.
Potassium and Sodium
Potassium is an essential element, that acts in many ways to improve cell structure, assists the kidneys to detoxify blood and maintains the alkaline/acid ratio in the blood and body tissues.
The ratio of potassium/sodium is now generating great interest. As early as 1920 a German physician, Dr Max Gerson, was claiming that many chronic illnesses could be related back to an imbalance between potassium and sodium.
We should, according to Gerson, have a potassium to sodium intake of about 4:1.
His theory was that potassium rich foods would generate and activate the white cells within the body - these are the cells that attack and destroy cancer and other illness related cells.
Being interested by Gerson's work and conclusions, I decided to seek out other expert views. Through my friend in Singapore, Robert Yam, I was to contact Dr Lai Chiu-Nan, who now resides in America, but is still highly recognized within Asia for her research and knowledge about cancer and its treatment. Dr Lai holds a PhD in chemistry and has written a book, 'The Pursuit of Life'. I was fascinated with what Dr Lai had to say about potassium and sodium:
"Let me emphasize the importance of the potassium/sodium ratio. In our research it was found that increasing the potassium level in the growth media can revert cancer cells to normal cells. The best potassium source in food is vegetables. The high potassium foods are vegetables and fruits. The poor potassium sources are animal or processed food."
Dr Lai went on to say:
"For cells to perform normally, they need to concentrate potassium and expel sodium. In the cells, potassium to sodium ratio is about 10 times. When cell membranes are damaged, potassium is leaked and the cells start to divide. Dividing cells and cancer cells have a lower ratio of potassium to sodium compared to normal cells. That cancer cells grow in an uncontrolled manner is probably related to the lowered potassium-sodium ratio...
...Why am I emphasizing the ratio of potassium and sodium in food? Because it plays a role not only in cancer but also in high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes."
Dr Lai also found during her research, that in the U.S. the average intake of potassium over sodium is about 0.7; less than the body constitution, which is around 2:1. Cancer, heart disease and diabetes are common in the U.S., and can be attributed to this factor in the diet. Chinese in general eat more rice and vegetables, and it appears their risk of getting these diseases is less.
If you think your family regularly has a food balance of 4:1 of potassium over sodium, just read the ingredients section on almost any packaged food (including cereals) in your pantry, but this time don't look just for cholesterol and fat content, but examine the ratio between potassium and sodium. The findings will shock you.
In fact, one of the world's leading brands of corn flakes boasts a ratio of 29mg potassium to 280mg sodium for every serving!
- Ross Taylor, Living Simply With Cancer, pages 38 - 39.
***
"The problem for those with high blood pressure isn't sodium, it's a lack of balance between sodium and potassium levels. More than 25 separate studies show how increasing potassium intake (without decreasing the sodium) is an effective way to lower blood pressure. One of those studies demonstrated that with just one daily serving of a potassium-rich food the risk of death by stroke may be cut by as much as half." - Robert C. Atkins, M.D., author of Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution.

Gerson Therapy
The Gerson dietary protocol consists of detoxification with raw vegetable and fruit juices, raw calf liver juice (now discontinued because of the toxic chemical residue now found in calves), a vegetarian diet and caffeine implants in the form of coffee enemas to provoke the liver and open the bile ducts.
Eulogy for Dr. Gerson
I see in him one of the most eminent medical geniuses in the history of medicine. Many of his basic ideas have been adopted without having his name connected with them. Yet he has achieved more than seemed possible under adverse conditions. He leaves a legacy which commands attention and which will assure him his due place. Those whom he cured will now attest to the truth of his ideas.
- Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Prize winner and Gerson patient. |
Essential Oils
Essential oils are subtle, volatile liquids distilled from plants, shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds. There are over a hundred references to essential oils in the bible (frankincense, myrrh, galbanum, rosemary, hyssop, cassia, cinnamon, and spikenard). Many essential oils:
Are immune enhancing
Support the body's natural defenses
Support the immune, circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, digestive, nervous, and other body systems
Aid in maintaining normal cellular regeneration
Are mood elevating
Are antiseptic (topical use only)
Are high in antioxidants
Are aromatic
Are oxygenating
Boost stamina and energy
Help you relax
Help manage stress and frustration
Help reduce the appearance of aging
Improve mental clarity
Promote overall health, vitality, and longevity.
Most essential oils available in stores have been diluted to reduce the cost and may even contain artificial ingredients. Only the most pure essential oils have therapeutic qualities, so it is very important that you trust the source.
"There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise..." - Proverbs 21:20

For more information regarding the use of essential oils, an excellent reference book (if you can obtain it) is
Essential Oils Desk Reference, Second Edition. This is a 480-page resource compendium listing essential oils for health challenges. |

EWOT
William Campbell Douglass, M.D. highly recommends EWOT. Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) is doing light exercise, such as on a treadmill or stationary bicycle, while breathing pure oxygen. EWOT produces the benefits of hydrogen peroxide therapy and you can do it at home. Set the O2 flow at 6 liters per minute, hook the little tube to your nose, and exercise at a moderate pace for 15 minutes while breathing pure oxygen. As part of your cancer prevention and health maintenance program, do this at least once a month. If you are ill with any disease, do EWOT more frequently. In particular, do EWOT after operations, chemotherapy, radiation treatment, x-rays, and burns. EWOT should be offered by every spa, clinic and health club in the country.
Bottled oxygen is generally a prescription item. However, you can purchase for home use an "oxygen concentrator" such as is used in "oxygen bars".
For more information on oxygen, see our oxygen page. |
Flows of Energy in Nature
There is an electrical potential difference of about 300,000 volts between the surface of the earth and the lower level of the ionosphere. With the ionosphere beginning at about 80 km above the earth's surface, this means there is a voltage potential gradient of about 4 volts per meter. For a person two meters tall, the voltage potential gradient is nearly 8 volts between the bottom of the feet and top of the head.
Electrons on the earth are constantly being attracted toward the sky, but the air is a poor conductor. Electrons flow along a surface, but to leave the surface they need a point to channel the flow. This is why tree tops, leaf tips, and the hairs on your head are pointed. They are designed to facilitate the flow of electrons through the physiology.
This flow is healthy. Free radicals are molecules short an electron. The flow of electrons energizes the body, neutralizes free radicals, and increases alkalinity by neutralizing H+ ions. This is why a walk in the morning is a rasayana ("rasayana" is a Sanskrit term indicating that something is beneficial for all people). The dew covered grass transfers an abundance of electrons to the body through the feet. This is a reason why being surrounded by reinforced concrete in an office tower is unhealthy. The metal bars in the reinforced concrete channel the electron flow around the interior rather than through it.
Vedic homes always have a kalash on top. If gilded, the decorative kalash is a conductor, wide at the base and pointed on top. One theory is that electrons are drawn up through the living quarters to the base of the kalash and then emitted into the sky. This may create a constant flow of healthy electrons through the house. In many religions, we take off our shoes in a temple so the body is grounded and the flow of electrons through us is unimpeded. Tall towers and spires above the holy structure may increase the voltage gradient and amplify the flow. On a mountain top this effect is greatly magnified, which may be one reason why "wise people" are frequently depicted sitting on a mountain top. Negative ions around waterfalls and in the air after thunderstorms also contain extra electrons, as does Alkaline Water and water treated with Microhydrin.
Paramagnetic rock is a semiconductor. Chips of this rock in the soil aid the flow of electrons and plants grow in this flow. Medicinal plants growing wild are more potent than cultivated plants, partly because farm soils are losing their paramagnetism. Crushed paramagnetic rock costs $22.50 per ton and the recommended application is one ton per acre. Rock chips are better than rock dust because they last much longer. The dust can wash away.
In addition to being an electrical conductor, the human body is also a good antenna. Anyone who has touched a TV antenna and found that the picture improved can readily understand that the human body is an antenna. A tree is a good ELF and VLF antenna.
The earth itself has certain resonance frequencies called Schumann waves and all life on earth evolved within this electromagnetic environment. The natural Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves have the same frequencies as the human nervous system. Paramagnetic material over a diamagnetic base creates an ELF antenna amplifier. Ancient religious structures are found to be ELF "resonance cavities" which quiet the mind and create a sense of peace. The ancients enhanced these frequencies in holy places, not in homes.
By giving careful consideration to the materials and design of our buildings we may have an opportunity to use the physical structure to energize the occupants, improve the health of all who spend time there, and help create an experience of heightened awareness and enlightenment. (The word "enlightenment" means "filled with light". When you close your eyes what do you see inside your head, darkness or light?)
"The mind of an enlightened man is brighter than ten thousand suns." - Vedic literature.
"Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." - Yoda
The ancient science of construction in tune with all the laws of nature is called Sthapatya Veda. Sthapatya Veda is very concerned with right orientation, right proportion, right placement,
and right materials. Sthapatya Veda construction consultation is available from Maharishi Global Construction LLC (see:

Schumann Waves
The space between the surface of the earth and the ionosphere forms a resonance cavity for naturally occurring electromagnetic frequencies. As can be seen in the chart on the left, the world's 60 HZ* alternating current electric power grids have introduced an artifact into our global electromagnetic environment. It is unfortunate that the power grids fluctuate at a frequency that is biologically active and irritating to all life on the planet. *HZ=Hertz=cycles per second |
Most electric appliances are available in direct current versions. What we need is a globally standardized wall socket for direct current. The present automobile cigarette lighter socket is not suitable for home use. Alkalize For Health recommends that all homes and businesses switch to 48 volt / 12 volt direct current and become self sufficient for their electric power needs by means of solar panels, fuel cells, windmills, Stirling engines, hydrogen and other methods of on-site electric power generation and storage. The 60 HZ alternating current system should be either converted to High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) or dismantled. Due to the cost of the electrical power distribution system with its miles of wires and leakage LOSS of electrical power, it is inevitable that this system will become obsolete when local onsite power can be generated cheaply enough.

Herbs vs Bacteria & Viruses
Dr. David Williams suggests that grapefruit seed extract is an effective treatment for Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE). VRE can be deadly and is otherwise untreatable. Grapefruit seed extract may also be effective against many other bacteria, fungi and yeast.

According to Health Sciences Institute, Olive Leaf Extract (calcium elenolate) is reported to be effective against a wide variety of bacteria and viruses including influenza, meningitis, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), encephalitis, the common cold, herpes I and II, HHV-6, HHV-7, shingles, HTLV-I, HTLV-II, HIV.ARC/AIDS, CFIDS, CMV, hepatitis B, urinary-tract infections, severe diarrhea, blood poisoning, and surgical infections. 800-411-5795, 800-878-6520
According to Terry Willard, Ph.D., Olive Leaf Extract (elenolic acid) is reported to have strong antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral action. He suggests taking one tablet or capsule every six hours or four throughout the day to help treat a wide variety of infections.
***
According to Dr. Michael Prytula, certain herbs have documented antiviral activity. These include Astragalus (Coxsacki B-2 virus, influenza virus), St. Johns Wort (HIV, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes), and Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) for HIV, SARS, herpes, shingles, and hepatitis A and B. Dr. Prytula also recommends ozone, hydrogen peroxide, Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, and high doses of vitamin C for viral infections.
***
Padma
The ancient Tibetan herbal formula called "Padma"
is now available from Padma, Inc. of Switzerland. Padma is a mix of 28
ingredients including herbs and camphor. Research in many countries
indicates that Padma is useful for a variety of problems including
chronic infections (hepatitis B, AIDS, bronchitis, pneumonia), and
clearing clogged arteries (angina, peripheral artery occlusion, cerebral
atherosclerosis).
***
Enzymes vs. Viruses
A virus is a protein coating covering DNA. The DNA of viruses mutates so quickly that vaccines are a waste of time. Proteolytic (protein eating) enzymes can be an effective defense against all viruses. The enzymes attack the protein coating, thereby inactivating the virus.
***
Bile vs. Lipid-Coated Microorganisms
Bile is a liquid produced by the liver. Bile
is stored in the gallbladder until you eat a meal, and then it flows
into the small intestine where it digests fats. Bile also digests
endotoxins and lipid-coated microorganisms that are entering the body
via the digestive tract. This includes many viruses with a lipoprotein
coating.

Coconut Oil vs. Lipid-Coated Microorganisms
The unique properties of coconut oil make it, in essence, a natural antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiprozoal food. - Bruce Fife, N.D. page 64. The following chart is from page 68 of Dr. Fife's book The Coconut Oil Miracle:

Lipid-coated viruses and bacteria are easily killed by medium chain fatty acids which primarily destroy these organisms by disrupting their lipid membranes. - Bruce Fife, N.D. page 65.
Coconut oil is composed of 48 percent lauric acid (a 12-chain saturated fatty acid), 7 percent capric acid (a 10-chain saturated fatty acid), 8 percent caprylic acid (an 8-chain saturated fatty acid), and 0.5 percent caproic acid (a 6-chain saturated fatty acid). These fatty acids give coconut oil its amazing antimicrobial properties and are generally absent from all other vegetable and animal oils, with the exception of butter which has about 3 percent lauric acid. - Bruce Fife, N.D. pages 66 - 67.
Laboratory tests have shown that the medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil are effective in destroying viruses that cause influenza, measles, herpes, mononucleosis, hepatitis C, and AIDS; bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers, throat infections, pneumonia, sinusitis, earache, rheumatic fever, dental cavities, food poisoning, urinary tract infections, meningitis, gonorrhea, and toxic shock syndrome; fungi and yeast that lead to ringworm, candida, and thrush; and parasites that can cause intestinal infections such as giardiasis. - Bruce Fife, N.D. page 70.
Glutathione Peroxidase vs. Viruses
Glutathione peroxidase is an enzyme that
stops viral replication. In order for the body to make glutathione
peroxidase, four nutrients are necessary: selenium, cysteine, glutamine,
and tryptophan. Selenium is a mineral available in brazil nuts. Cysteine,
glutamine and tryptophan are amino acids readily available in organic,
cold-processed whey powder.
Dr. Harold D. Foster has written a book
What Really Causes Aids that explains how several viral epidemics
are really caused by dietary deficiency in selenium over the past 50
years. You can download his book for free from Dr. Foster's
website. Viruses discussed by Dr.
Foster include HIV-1, HIV-2, hepatitis B and C, and Coxsackie B.
Clinical reports from Zambia, Uganda, and
South Africa indicate that AIDS may be stopped by using these four
nutritional supplements. - Orthomolecular Medicine News Service,
April 26, 2006.
Vitamin D vs. Viruses, Bacteria and Fungi
Vitamin D stimulates the body's production
of antimicrobial peptides which have been shown to attack bacteria,
fungi and viruses, including the influenza virus, and which play a key
role in keeping the lungs free from infection. |
Iodine and Potassium Iodide
Iodine is a disinfectant used on
cuts and scrapes on the skin. The bottle generally says "For External Use Only."
However, there is a form of iodine that is
safe for internal use. This is called "potassium iodide" or "SSKI". SSKI
means "Saturated Solution Potassium Iodide." Generally one or two drops are taken with water daily.
Acute conditions may require up to 6 drops daily for a short time. Potassium iodide has been found
helpful for the following:
- the thyroid gland needs iodine. This is
why salt is "iodized". However, if you tend to avoid salt or use other
forms of salt such as sea salt then you need another source of iodine.
Potassium iodide can be this source of iodine.
- iodine/iodide helps oils, fats and waxes dissolve in water. It has been
found to dissolve cholesterol plaque in the arteries. Lecithin also does
this.
- iodine/iodide works its way into the bodily excretions such as mucus,
where it kills bacteria, viruses and fungi. In this way it helps to
protect you from airborne contaminants breathed into the sinuses and lungs.
- several drops of potassium iodide in drinking water kills
micro-organisms that may be present, making it safe for drinking. Just
add the potassium iodide and let the water sit for a couple of minutes.
All travelers should use potassium iodide for this purpose.
- potassium iodide has been found to be helpful for conditions such as bladder infection (D-mannose is also effective), ovarian cysts,
fistulas, hemorrhoids, parotid duct stone, bronchitis, and emphysema.
- potassium iodide can help fibrous conditions such as scar tissue,
keloids, fibrocystic breast disease, Dupuytren's contracture, Peyronie's
disease.
- iodine/iodide helps the body convert carcinogenic forms of estrogen (estrone,
16-alpha-hydroxyestrone) into non-carcinogenic estriol.
- together with DMSO to assist potassium iodide to penetrate the
tissues, the combination is useful for infected hangnails, toenail
fungus, herpes simplex outbreaks, and swollen glands. For toenail
fungus, a mixture of DMSO and one of the essential oils such as geranium
oil, oregano oil, or tea tree oil is also effective. DMSO helps the oils
penetrate the toenail.
- mixed with water, potassium iodide can be used as a douche for vaginal
infections. However, be careful with it because potassium iodide stains
skin temporarily and clothing permanently.
You can order potassium iodide on the
Internet. Read more about iodine and potassium
iodide in an article by Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. here.

Prepare for your
Hospital Stay
Dr. Spreen: "I'd be
taking vitamin C by the grams (to bowel tolerance then just below), but
right before surgery you'd have to cut back to keep from
hindering the
anesthesia (which is another toxin, remember). I'd also be
taking beta-glucan as an immune
stimulant.
"For strict bactericidal activity I'd be doing olive leaf extract,
grapefruit seed extract (not grape seed, though I like it too), and
colloidal silver. In other words, I'd be pulling out all the stops. If I
had a reasonable doc I'd be getting vitamin C intravenously post-op –
then the MRSA wouldn't be a factor. Yep, vitamin C in high enough doses
kills ALL invading bugs. Fred Klenner, MD, proved that back in the 40's
(but who's listening?)."
Editor's note: "MRSA"
means "Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus" which is an
infection increasingly caught in hospitals. In the U.S. during the
period July 2004 to the end of 2005, 94,000 patients caught MRSA and
18,500 of them died. See "Invasive Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus

"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.

Philpott, MD, William H., et al, Magnet Therapy, AlternativeMedicine.com Books, 2000. Magnet therapy has many decades of research in Europe documenting its effectiveness. Magnet therapy is effective for a wide variety of degenerative conditions. Magnet therapy is economical, has no negative side effects, and can be used to complement any other therapy. "Because magnets do not introduce any foreign substance to the body, this makes them safer over the long-term than medications...All types of cancer will prove reversible by continuous exposure to a negative magnetic field" (page 24).

For sources of magnets do an Internet search
for subjects such as "Dr. Philpott magnet therapy" or "Dr. Philpott
magnet therapy cancer".
"Negative magnetic field therapy will be the most effectual antibiotic treatment for infections (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites)... because none of these organisms can tolerate a negative magnetic field." - Philpott page 24. (The north seeking needle of a compass points to the negative magnetic field. It is the negative magnetic field side of the magnet that you place against your skin in magnet therapy).
"I have seen dramatic results when the north magnetic pole is applied to a cancer or an area of inflammation." - Dr Michael Schachter
Editor's note: Japanese research has demonstrated that when human blood flows through a magnetic field, a very slight electrical current is generated. This electrical current is found to have health benefits. The earth's magnetic field has decreased 50% in the past 500 years and is presently declining at a rate of 5% per 100 years. We may all benefit from measures to supplement our exposure to magnetism and from a variety of methods to supplement our biological electricity.

Page Summary
A strong immune system will defend you from many health problems, including cancer. There are many ways to strengthen the immune system, and one of the best is to drink a lot of fresh fruit and vegetable juices. These juices are concentrated nutrition in a form that is easily assimilated by the body. Common advice for cancer patients is to drink one glass of freshly made juice each waking hour of the day. As part of your health maintenance program, drinking these juices regularly, plus a one day a week juice fast is very helpful.
Off to a Fast Start...the Importance of Exercise
Exercise is important for re-establishing and maintaining good health. However some exercise is better than others. We highly recommend yoga asanas (hatha yoga) which you can learn at your local TM Center. We also recommend the rebound mini-trampoline as a useful tool in your fight with cancer. Having tried several kinds only to have them break, we ended up with only one brand that we recommend. To learn more about rebounding and which is our favorite brand, let's move on to Rebounder. |
