SEPTEMBER 21, 2018 – ALUMINUM IN VACCINES

We knew there was mercury in vaccines. Health authorities have concluded there is no longer mercury in vaccines.  Do we believe them?

Monies are currently being raised (about $600k) to investigate the use of aluminum salts in vaccines such as DPT (diptheria pertussis) and HPOV (human papilloma) vaccines.

We all – both scientists and the general public – want to study if aluminum is safe in vaccines. We do know that aluminum toxicity has been linked to Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Excessive aluminum can also be a cause of osteoporosis. These aluminum salts have been used in vaccines for more than 80 years. The FASTCARE group is behind raising the money and the proposed investigation. It is headed by Mettie Kenfelt whose daughter almost died after receiving the HPV vaccine.

It is beyond words to describe why metals like aluminum are in vaccines to begin with.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2018 – BP DRUGS

There are an array of blood pressure medicines used today for hypertension. New research has concluded that blood pressure medications significantly increase the risk of skin cancer.

The diuretics as hydrochlorothiazides makes skin cancer seven times more likely especially if the patient has been taking the medication for a long time. These drugs make the skin more sensitive to UV light thus enabling the patient to get skin cancer. The cancer that is most associated with the diuretic use is squamous cell carcinoma.

More than 10% of the skin squamous cell carcinoma is related to the use of diuretics.

This is scary. If you have been on a thiazide diuretic, please get a skin check up.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2018 – VISCUM ALBUM

The herb Mistletoe was popularized in treatment for cancers almost twenty years ago. The same can be written about laetrile, B17. Mistletoe is true immunotherapy - meaning it has many actions on your immune system. It has been shown to strongly affect natural killer cells which promote cancer cell death. It also has been shown to decrease recurrence.

There are more than 4,500 scientific published papers on the effectiveness of this herb in killing cancers. It has been shown to increase the quality of life and stimulate the immune system. It has been shown to alleviate the side effects of conventional chemotherapy and radiation.

Mistletoe has been shown not to interfere with conventional chemotherapy, but increases the effectiveness of conventional chemotherapy. A meta analysis of more than 3,000 patients treated with mistletoe also had a positive effect on their survival. The study concluded that the destructive effects of cancer on the immune syste can be counteracted by mistletoe.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2018 – SALICINIUM

There are many natural compounds that can be used in cancer treatment and cancer support. Many of these nutraceuticals and herbal medicines are not used in conventional medicine. Some of these have studies with positive outcomes.

Salicinium is a natural plant based extract that has many properties for a variety of cancers. It is a complex sugar molecule that is harmless to normal cells in the body.

The mechanism is that salicinium manipulates beta-glucosidase. This enzyme is active in may cancers. Like Vitamin C, it is safe for normal cells, but damaging to cancer cells. It is unique as a sugar molecule because it can quickly enter the cancer cells and kill them.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2019 – B17

B17, also known as amygdain, has been used for years as a treatment for cancer. It is found in raw nuts especially in apricot seeds. Besides being a cancer cell toxin, B17 (given orally and intravenously) can promote natural programmed cancer cell death called apoptosis. It also has been shown to slow the growth of new blood vessels that feed the cancer.

Despite this information, a small study in 1982 revealed that B17 is a toxic drug and not effective in cancer. This mentality has been adopted by USA and Canadian physicians. It is wrong. As a physician, it is not the 'cure' nor should be used alone as treatment for any cancer. It should be used as a multi treatment protocol for cancer. This should be especially done if chemo-sensitive testing has been done. This testing tells the physician which drug, supplement, and herb can be used to kill the tumor. This testing is not always available or used within the United States.

Studies outside the USA have shown thousands of doses of B17 have stopped or slowed aggressive cancers.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2018 – ARTESUNATE

As a faculty member and professor at the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine, I have continually stimulated my mind and learned a view variety of topics. Naturopathic physicians have a greater understanding of both conventional and integrative approaches to most diseases, especially cancer. In the last 25 years, new intravenous and injection protocols have been used in cancer.

Artesunate is an IV medication from the herb Artemesia that is used in the treatment of malaria. Studies have now shown that this herb usual for de-worming is important in stimulating tumor necrosis factor. It has been used for certain cancers as well as autoimmune conditions. Clinical research with more than 4,000 IV doses of artesunate have shown to be safe in patients with advanced cancers.

Research has shown that artesunate has similar effect to the chemotherapeutic drug, gemcitabine (Gemzar) which is used in the deadly pancreatic cancer. This IV derivative from Wormwood (Artmesia) has a potent anti inflammatory and immune calming properties.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2018 – DEMENTIA

Dementia is a large umbrella term which includes not only Alzheimer's but also vascular dementia and other debilitating diseases. We do know there are more than 5.7 million Americans with Alzheimer's Disease. One person develops the disease every 66 seconds. It is also the 6th leading cause of death in the USA. Of course I would be worried and I would be reading everything associated with lifestyle changes that can help. These would involve both exercise and lifestyle changes as well as any supplement or herb that might help.

There are about 10 treatable conditions that can trigger dementia symptoms. These include very simple treatable topics. One is medications. Many individuals are on too many conventional medications and poly medicine which all can affect the memory and mimic dementia symptoms. Other treatable disease which trigger dementia symptoms as urinary tract infections, hearing loss, and trauma. 

Nutritional deficiencies mimic dementia symptoms - especially B12 and folate deficiency. Sticking to a mind dietary lifestyle is associated with a 30-35 % lower risk of cognitive impairment. We all need to eat better.

Other conditions that are treatable which mimic dementia are alcohol abuse, diabetes, and depression.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 – STRESS BURNOUT

We have all been in a stressful burn out situation. Whether this burnout is due to physical sickness, mental sickness, or psychological sickness, we all can relate. What do you do if this occurs? 

Some might eat more, or some might eat less. Some might exercise and others might meditate.

How many take an herb or supplement to decrease stress or anxiety? The class of herbs for stress or anxiety are called nervines. There are many herbs within this class. Examples could be skullcap, California poppy, vervain, and even chamomile. There are even adaptogenic herbs as rhodiola that has been used and studied. A study was done in Vienna for 12 weeks. There was a experimental rhodiola called Vitango (200mg tablets, taken twice a day for 12 weeks). There is promising results on effects of anxiety and stress but more needs to be studied.
