Yet another travesty against natural health

Please read this article to learn some more frightening facts about how useful information that can help thousands of people is suppressed and attacked by our government and other governments as well!

Some excerpts:

Recently, I was sent the 1,847 page transcript of the three-week trial of Truehope’s founders, Anthony Stephan and David Hardy, who have just been found not guilty of criminal charges brought against them by Health Canada (Canada’s FDA) for distributing an “unapproved drug” during the year 2003. So, the rest of this article will include key details of the trial not available elsewhere. Many who are already familiar with the Truehope story believe that the co-founders of Truehope have developed the most significant breakthrough in the treatment of mental illness that has occurred during our lifetime. I am hard pressed not to agree with them.

During the time that Truehope continued to develop and promote its product, Health Canada tried many ways to shut Truehope down, including raiding Truehope’s corporate offices and seizing corporate and patient records, as well as closing down a study financed by the Province of Alberta at the University of Calvary. Eventually, by the time Health Canada started seizing the product at the border as it came from the American manufacturing plant into Canada, the Canadian Mental Health Association jumped in to arrange “personal exemptions” for desperate patients, and even reported several deaths to Health Canada because of the stoppage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So oppression in the name of "better science" is not just the sole domain of the United States. Oppressors of natural treatments are everywhere and they must be stopped.

Is America becoming a Fascist state?

Coming to a theater near you is America: Freedom to Fascism. Why do I mention this movie in a blog about breast cancer? Because the evil roots that control the cancer industry are growing way deeper than I ever realized and it is ALL connected. Go ahead and call me a wacko. I believe we have become, as a population, the most anesthesized, sickly and apathetic group of people ever. We are no better than the food for a bunch of parasites. We labor day in and day out and most of us never see the American Dream because we pay so much of it in our taxes and daily living expenses.

So the pharmaceutical companies that want to make us all dependent on drugs? That's just the TIP of the horrid iceberg people. I no longer watch TV and I don't get the programming any more so I am seeing clearly what everyone else is seeing through a media haze. Do you realize how much you are programmed what to think through newspapers, magazines and TV? Do you have ANY idea? The people who control all of that media are the ones who are at the roots of this mess we are in. They are pulling all the strings of government. Not the American voters. We are just pawns for the bankers controlling everything.

Go see this movie. And wake the heck up. Your future depends on it.

This movie is available on youtube, but I encourage you to support the creator of the movie and see it in the theater. It's an amazing thing that he is able to get this movie to be shown because I believe it WILL start a revolution. If it doesn't, then this country is already down the tubes.

Gimme a break

Ok in this article I just found, the guy is obviously FOR Pharmaceutical companies continuing to spread LIES that they are working on a cure for cancer. It gets downright irritating for women with the push and pull of information coming in the form of a freaking hillbilly feud. Corporate profit motives ARE exploiting breast cancer with the "pink" campaign and pharmaceutical companies ARE directing research money ONLY to cures which they can patent and they are IGNORING natural cures that are available NOW.

Mammograms do not save lives. Only 1 woman out of 100 is better off for having gotten a mammogram and 8 will have false positives that might result in unnecessary and toxic treatments and possibly disfiguring surgery they didn't need. Mammograms compress the breast, inducing TRAUMA which makes the breast more prone to cancer and to boot they irradiate them as well. For each mammogram a woman receives she increases her chance of getting cancer FROM the mammogram by 2%. After 10 years of annual mammograms she has increased he cancer risk by 20%.

There are other methods available that are safer now. For routine screening you just need to be familiar with your breasts so you can recognize changes. If you have lumps that are benign now, be familiar with where they are. If you see changes in the skin, or redness or feel a new lump - then you go for a breast MRI and possibly also a PEM Flex scan (PET scan mammogram)..

The reporter in the linked story is sadly misinformed and just repeating the conventional medicine mantra. He is misguided in his attempt to "protect" women. I suggest he go and do a little more research before he writes the next story.

Byron Richards weighs in on the FDA bullying

Here is a great article on NewsTarget.com. I always love how Mike Adams sees right through the hype of any issue and gets right to the truth. With his help I have become more aware of the media spin perpertrated by the FDA and the Pharmaceutical cartel. The FDA is supposed to be working for us - they get taxpayer money. But instead, they are the federal arm of the Pharmaceutical cartel and it needs to be stopped.. now...

Read the NewsTarget article here for an even more scathing review of their bullying than even my own post on the topic...

Here are some highlights from the article:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FDA was within their rights to send warning letters. True enough, some of these small companies had stepped over the line. Had they harmed anybody? Most of the nutrients in the products being offered actually have considerable science showing they may help diabetes. What is the FDA really afraid of? People getting better? People learning what options they have to the drug racket of the sickness industry? Maybe the FDA is trying to distract the public, portraying themselves as effective while they continue to this day to allow thousands of Americans to be injured and die in the name of profits for Bayer.

The FDA justified beating up on small American companies in this way: “We will not tolerate practices that raise false hopes and bilk consumers of precious health care dollars,” said Margaret O’K. Glavin, FDA’s Associate Commissioner for Regulatory Affairs. “Diabetes requires effective treatments and aggressive management, not bogus and unproven products.”

And what are these effective treatments? A commonly used FDA-approved diabetes drug, Actos, has been found to increase edema and heart failure and have no benefit to diabetic patients. Another diabetes drug, Metformin, is known to cause B12 deficiency that will certainly increase the risk for neuropathy. Then there is the expensive new diabetes drug, Januvia, expected to have sales of a billion dollars. Once again, the drug only treats symptoms and does not fix the cause of the problem. When doctors put patients on insulin to control type II diabetes the typical outcome is that blood sugar is lowered by stuffing calories into fat, a medical treatment that causes fatigue and further obesity. If we took the FDA statement about “bilking consumers” at face value many common FDA-approved diabetes treatments would need to be shut down. Is it any wonder individuals are desperately looking for help?

The FDA is discriminatory against small nutritional companies. This is because the FDA is avidly seeking to create a New World Order in which all supplement companies are owned or controlled by Big Pharma, and all therapeutic nutritional supplements are removed from the free market.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This last paragraph worries me a great deal as I feel he is 100% on the money. They are trying to browbeat the small companies who provide real health solutions into being controlled by Big Pharma so they can corral all the healthy alternatives through their own profit machine. This is troublesome to me and everyone needs to WAKE UP and see what is going on.

One good thing is, pharmaceutical companies will never be able to control how much good food I eat. However, they CAN alter the food supply with their unnatural chemicals and additives to the point that none of us can escape the toxic effects. And THAT is what I worry about.

Chemical companies - usually owned by or in bed with - pharamaceuticals - are trying to control our lives through chemicals. I have forsaken most chemicals in my foods - those that I can knowingly avoid through reading the labels. Our lives are NOT better through chemistry. Very few things chemistry has added to our lives is beneficial. It is unnatural and there is a price to pay for every one we ingest, whether on purpuse through so-called "medicines" or through food or inadvertently in our environment.

Australian attack on Laetrile

I found this article just recently which is FULL of misinformation that has been peddled by the big cancer business cartel - and that is that Laetrile will give you cyanide poisoning. This is totally NOT TURE. I can tell you that because I am taking at least 2 grams a day of Laetrile and I am not getting poisoned. It does not release cyanide unless in the presence of a cancer cell and it is on a very small scale, taking the cancer cell out in the process.

I can't comment on the doctor who is the subject of the article - whether he is taking people's money or not. But what I think is laughable is - they are charging his with the death of some patients. I'd like to see more of that with doctors in THIS COUNTRY. Charge some of the oncologists with freaking MURDER when they kill their cancer patients. I'll bet that would change some of the barbaric treatments!

Here is the sentence that gets my blood boiling:

Laetrile has shown little anti-cancer effect in laboratory studies. Its active anti-cancer ingredient is cyanide. Side effects include cyanide poisoning.

They have the audacity to make these statements without any data because you know what? if they had data it would show that Laetrile IS effective. The freaking laboratory studies they refer to were conducted by Sloan Kettering and they skewed the data to show it did not work.

Please read this article

Dr Ralph Moss is THE expert on the cover-up by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Hospital when it comes to Laetrile. Here is his bio

Ralph W. Moss, PhD, is an internationally known medical writer who has written or edited twelve books and three film documentaries, mostly on the question of cancer research and treatment. He is a graduate of New York City public schools, New York University (BA, cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, 1965) and Stanford University (MA, 1973, PhD, 1974, Classics). The former science writer and assistant director of public affairs at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York (1974-1977), for over 30 years Moss has independently evaluated the claims of various cancer treatments, conventional and nonconventional. He currently directs The Moss Reports, a periodically updated library of detailed reports on 200+ varieties of cancer diagnoses. A recognized expert on such treatments, he is listed in Marquis Who's Who in America, Who's Who in the World, Who's Who in HealthCare, etc.

All I have to say is.. YOU DECIDE. I know I have.

Another new breast cancer test

This test sounds identical to PEM Flex but it is called BSGI or Breast Specific Gamma Imaging. I love how the article fails to mention that this is not new and that PEM Flex was out there first and is a similar technology. Just goes to show you how much weight you can put on any one news article. Seems to me it should have been mentioned. Read the article here.

In case you haven't read my post on PEM Flex, the test is NOT without side effects from the radiation however those effects are usually short lived. They will NOT tell you there can be side effects from the radiation. However, the test seems to be very useful since a tumor will show metabolic activity and be detected. During the test, you are a radioactive hazard to the technician.

I have some new thoughts on this also however. I am wondering if a benign lesion would also show metabolic activity if there are a bunch of cells collected there. How likely is it that that lump will be detectable on tests like this and it is *always* a tumor which should be "treated"? I am not sure if shows the degree of the cancer and perhaps one that is properly walled off and being handled by the body will appear the same as one which is aggressive and infiltrating.

In any case it is WAY more accurate than mammograms. I would *not* recommend getting this test on an annual basis however because of the radiation exposure. I'm not even sure if it should be used when a lump is found because most lumps are NOT cancer and that would expose so many more women to radiation through the injection.

My current opinion if I were to find a new lump today or for the first time would be to get a cancer profile blood test done (see a couple posts back on that) and get a report about the levels of HCG and trophoblasts in your body to see if your body is in fact producing cancer cells. If you get a report showing this condition does exist, then go ahead and get the BSGI or PEM Flex test along with a Breast MRI. With that information you can decide if you should take action.

I would also recommend a thermography scan as a baseline *before* anyone gets any lumps. Then it can be very helpful *after* a lump is found to compare to the baseline thermography scan.

However, I also believe that if a woman gets an annual thermography scan, any cancer development can be caught earlier with that simple test. Way more valuable than annual mammograms and no risk.

Thermography scan

Ok got the thermography scan. My first one. I won't have a report till next week after the images are analyzed. Here is how it went and what I needed to do in preparation:

• Two days prior, no underarm shaving
• No coffee or alchohol for 24 hours prior to test
• Hot shower more than 2 hours before test, preferably more
• No deodorant under arms the morning of the test

For the test, they had me sit with a gown on upper body and with bare feet, on a stool in front of the camera. I could see the thermal images on the screen while sitting there. They had me sit for 15 minutes in the room to acclimate. The room was on the cool side. I was not to touch my chest or that area during that 15 minutes.

Once the test started, the gown was dropped down and my hands were above my head to lift the breasts for better visibility. There were three angles - frontal, left and right. Then my hands were submerged in icey water for 1 minute to draw blood away from breasts and into hands. Another three images were taken. In my case, there was no difference in the images.

My right breast where the lump is, showed a large area of dark blue coloring compared to the left. Not sure what that means. There were no "hot spots" of color that I could tell in either breast.

Results come back next week. They send the data off to have it analyzed by thermography experts.

After the scan I sat for 30 minutes in the Infrared Sauna - set to 126 degrees... a very dry heat. Heat is an enemy of cancer cells and it also draws viruses and toxins out and gets rid of them.

After that visit I headed over to Dr Lipton's office for a quick PAPIMI treatment. That is the magentic pulse generator thing. I am getting 12 treatments altogether centered around the right breast for the most part.

After the PAPIMI yesterday I noticed some new sensations in my right breast - not really pain or discomfort.. more of a "twinge". .. but certainly a sensation in that area where there had never been any before. I am thinking this is a sign of some change in the lump - perhaps necrosis of cancer cells and then my body dealing with it?

I plan to next get a full cancer profile from this place
That test will look for some cancer markers and also HcG - read more about what this test can do at this link.

The Cancer Machine loves celebrity endorsements

Every time I see another celebrity with breast cancer being paraded in the media it gets me angrier. This just serves the interests of the Cancer Machine - that being the big Pharmaceutical companies for the most part, who stand to benefit the most from current cancer "treatments". Another industry heavily in favor of spreading fear about breast cancer to generate more potential patients is the Radiology industry. Close behind them is the Surgeons. I would call this the Cancer Profit Triad really.

Here is a story that shows what I mean and I quote:

Dr Lesley Walker of Cancer Research UK said: "The survey illustrates another aspect of what has come to be known as 'the Kylie effect'.

"Celebrities with breast cancer like Kylie Minogue and Caron Keating have attracted a lot of publicity - especially in magazines aimed at younger women.

"This is very beneficial in that it raises awareness of breast cancer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Translation - it is very beneficial for those who stand to profit from getting more cancer customers.

It is NOT beneficial in the spreading of FEAR and the chance that many women, out of the FEAR will get screened, they will find a lump, they will not be sure if it is cancer and they will subject that woman to UNECESSARY surgery and radiation.

What I really am pissed about is - they really can't be 100% sure a lump is cancer until they remove it. Even if they see "neoplastic" activity it is not an indication that something must be done about it. So, lots of women end up getting "treatment" they NEVER NEEDED and certainly had they just made positive changes to their diets in response to the fear instead of following the tortured path of conventional medicine, they would all be WAY better off.

I think it is safe to say that a large proportion of women who get "cancer treatment" are worse off than had they NEVER gotten treatment. Now, down the road, if they don't make drastic changes to their diet and lifestyle, it could become a problem. Herein lies the dilemma. The current practice of interfering at an early stage with invasive procedures almost ensures damage to the health of the patient. If the early detection patients would SIMPLY follow standard cancer diets which should include cutting out sugar, processed foods and animal fats and also adding Laetrile to the daily intake, we would see a lot less women losing their hair, suffering from the long term effects of chemo and radiation. When will this madness end? How can we educate the women of the world to choose HEALTH over INJURY when it comes to cancer?

FDA, FTC have joined forces to remove natural diabetes treatments from the web using campaign of "threat letters," says health advocate

So here we go with the Big Pharma bullying. This is OUTRAGEOUS and should not be tolerated by our citizens for our government institutions to bully retailers like this! Here is a link to the NewsTarget article and here are some excerpts from that article:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(NewsTarget) According to a newsletter on the FDA website, the agency has teamed up with the Federal Trade Commission and similar agencies in Canada and Mexico to form the International Consumer Protection and Enforcement Network (ICPEN), in order to quash "deceptive" internet ads for cures or treatments for diabetes.

The warning letters caution that failure to comply with the FDA's demands may result in actions such as product seizure and injunctions without any further notice. So far, the network says it has caused a quarter of targeted firms to shut down, and some others are in contact with the FTC regarding the warnings.

Health advocates such as Adams and Jon Barron say that the only consumers who are being taken in, however, are the ones who buy into the FDA and FTC claims.

Barron points out on his blog, that a study was released on the same day the FDA made their announcement, suggesting that FDA-approved diabetes drug pioglitazone is not only useless as a treatment, but is also harmful to patients.

Barron said that consumers should read between the lines of Glavin's quote, and assume she means that the FDA will not tolerate practices that raise false hopes and bilk consumers unless the pharmaceutical companies and FDA-approved drugs are responsible for said false hopes and bilking.

"The conventional medicine approach to treating diabetes doesn't work," Adams said. "No diabetes patient has ever been cured by pharmaceuticals, but countless numbers have been cured through foods, herbs, nutritional supplements and exercise. The FDA doesn't want anyone to know that because it threatens the profits of drug companies.

"Drug companies are expecting a windfall of profits from diabetes patients over the next two decades, but to lock those profits in, they have to clear away the competition from anti-diabetic foods, herbs and nutritional supplements," he said. "Enter the FDA and FTC, the street thugs of Big Pharma, who do the dirty work of threatening online retailers with heavy fines if they don't stop telling the truth about their natural products."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's ludicrous for them to try to threaten retailers outside the jurisdiction of the US as well. But if the CODEX is passed, then the long reach of the FDA will be extended to THE WORLD. That is why we need to STOP THE CODEX. Their agenda is not to make people healthy. It is to protect the Pharmaceutical company profits. A large number of Advisory Board members of the FDA have stock in and very strong ties to Pharmaceuticals and Chemical companies.

You know that next in their crosshairs will be Laetrile. Most of the Laetrile sold online comes from Mexico so I am certain they will be trying the same tactics with Laetrile next. I will make it my LIFE MISSION to make sure Laetrile is available to EVERYONE.

Sheryl Crow suffers from edema in left arm

Well I was wondering when we would hear some of the down side to Sheryl's breast cancer treatments because it sure seemed we were only hearing what the Cancer Machine wanted us to hear and that was "we fixed Sheryl Crow". Well now it seems in this link discussing her workout routines that she confesses to Gabby Reece the following:

"I am finding that periodically I have edema in my left arm and am unable to do what I usually do with it, strength-wise. And because I am compensating for it, my shoulder gets sore. "

That's because she probably agreed to the "sentinel lymph node biopsy" which I think is a terrible way to see if cancer has spread. It involves removing lymph nodes to check them. Well you can't put them back after you check them and SO many women suffer from edema in that arm after this procedure. Doctors try to downplay the risk. It also REDUCES the protection from your lymph system from infections in that arm.

There is a reason why the lymph nodes are there and taking some out will ALWAYS have consequences. I think it is deplorable that the doctors so easily promote such a practice. There are other ways to test if cancer has spread and here are just a few:

1. AMAS Blood test
2. The Navarro Urine Test
3. The HCG Test
4. PEM Flex test

The PEM test includes a scan of the axillary lymph nodes in the arm nearest any detected breast lump and *will* show if there is cancer in those lymph nodes. No need to REMOVE the lymph nodes to check them. Grrrr

Back to Sheryl... so the public face of Sheryl Crow seems to be the poster child for the conventional medicine solution to breast cancer as can be seen in many articles like this one.

She was told "they got it all" and she is "free and clear" .. well I hope Sheryl reads this blog because since she got the radiation treatment, she is ripe for a new cancer to spring up unless she follows some of the alternative methods such as a predominantly raw diet, adding Laetrile to her regimen etc. Since she let them remove some lymph nodes in that arm, she has reduced infection fighting ability in that arm. Super nutrition is the only thing that is going to keep her from becoming a headline again with a new cancer fight.

Lose the FAT to fight cancer

Not only should you cut out animal fat you eat, but you need to lose the fat you are carrying around if you want to fight cancer. This is good news for me since I have dropped about 10 pounds with more dropping each week from my new diet of healthy foods. I figure I was carrying around about 20-30 pounds I could do without to get to a normal weight. Nothing I did before this every made the scale budge more than a pound or two. My past efforts included diet drinks, and some lowfat foods that might have been mostly chemical - certainly not natural by any means. I never ate red meat or very rarely.. mostly chicken, turkey etc. But now I am mostly eating vegetables, fruits, non-dairy and a little fish.

Here is an article on this that illustrates a study with lean mice and their ability to fight cancer...

The TRUTH for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Here is an excellent article from my favorite Health Activist Mike Adams at NewsTarget that very succinctly sums up how women are being feared into becoming victims of the big Cancer Machine needlessly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excerpts from the article:

The emphasis on breast cancer "screening," and the circus of holding breast cancer awareness months is, of course, all about recruiting more women into a system of treatment that generates profits for drug companies. Using fear-based tactics of recruitment (like telling women, "You'll die in six months if you don't undergo chemotherapy..."), the breast cancer industry manages to corral women of all races and ages into treatments that actually harm far more women than they help.

And yet breast cancer screening is the only form of "prevention" offered by the cancer industry. Only it isn't prevention, it's detection. Breast cancer screening does nothing to educate women how to really prevent breast cancer, nor does it teach women how to change their diets and lifestyles so that breast cancer never develops in the first place. In fact, the strategy of the cancer industry today can be best described as waiting for women to get cancer, then treating it with toxic drugs.

Yet even the World Health Organization admits that 70 percent of all cancers can be prevented through simple changes in food and lifestyle. That number is probably conservative, though. My own opinion is that 90 percent of all cancers can be prevented through simple food and lifestyle changes. Yet no one in the cancer industry is interested in teaching any of these strategies to women. In the cancer industry, there is no incentive to teach women how to avoid breast cancer, because to do so would eliminate a future customer!

Ever notice that cancer centers are not called, "Anti-Cancer Centers?" You see them in virtually every city and state across the country: The Washington Cancer Center, or the San Francisco Cancer Center. Here in Arizona, we have a massive, new building being constructed, and it's named the Arizona Cancer Center. These are all monuments to cancer, and they are for-profit businesses constructed for the purpose of making money from a woman's disease. They turn cancer into profit, and they depend on continued cancer to stay in business.

I also suggest that all these cancer treatment centers donate 100 percent of their profits to cancer prevention campaigns. It's wrong to profit from a woman's cancer, is it not? If these businesses really cared about stopping cancer, they'd refuse to profit from the disease and, instead, use the money to help stop cancer in future generations of women (and men, for that matter).

Here, for the benefit of women everywhere, is a partial list of the things that cause cancer and things that don't. You're not going to find full descriptions and citations here, as that would require an entire book all by itself, but this is a very useful reference list that tells the truth about what causes or prevents cancer in the human body.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well done Mike... I'm so on board with this effort he is making to counter the total scam being perpetrated by the AMA and the big pharmaceutical companies...

During this month of "Breast Cancer Awareness" I am constantly assaulted when in public with the signs of the marketing campaign by the profiteers in the cancer "industry". It makes me downright SICK to see the exploitation of a very serious disease affecting women. Women are being educated to FEAR their breasts - some even cutting them off before they get cancer. This is so totally outrageous. I wonder if the people responsible for all this misinformation have any conscience at all...

Another bogus report on mammograms

So the title of this article says Mammograms Reduce Breast Cancer Deaths. Yet, in the article we have these excerpts:

The reviewers estimated that for every 2,000 women who are invited to get mammograms for 10 years, one woman’s life will be prolonged as a result of detecting and treating a potentially lethal cancer. Another 10 healthy women will be transformed into cancer patients and undergo treatment needlessly.

An additional 200 will have the anxiety-inducing experience of a false positive — being told about a suspicious finding on a mammogram that further testing reveals to be noncancerous.

“Screening mammography is clearly a double-edged sword,” said Lisa Schwartz, M.D., co-director of the Veterans Administration Outcomes Group in White River Junction, Vermont.

“Regular screening will save some lives but will cause even more women to be harmed through the unnecessary diagnosis and treatment of cancers that would never have affected their health, were it not for screening.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok so show me again how mammogram reduce breast cancer deaths???? The title does not match the content of the article.

This is the sticking point for me and for my breast cancer lump as well. Does having found require me to do something about it necessarily? I am very healthy. What would have happened if I had not found it? Is it like a time bomb that would have gone off at some point? Or would it just sit there minding it's own business until I authorized some surgeon to go digging around in my breast? I firmly believe that in a LARGE number of cases, the treatment hastens the disease, causes the patient to suffer under the toxic load of the "treatment" and if they are lucky they get through it. What would have happened if they had done nothing?

Earlier in this blog I linked a story about women on which autopsies were performed who died of other causes such as accidents. They found a large number of women had these ductal carcinomas and they probably never even knew it. I don't think this means they were going to necessarily get sick and die because they had them either. However, some of them might have eventually come down with more and more cancer depending on how they lived, what they ate etc.

So I think it is ABSOLUTELY true that women are so scared these days and they get the mammograms and BAM they say - you have breast cancer - but in many cases the treatment is WAY overkill and makes the woman's health actually DECLINE from a healthy starting point. SO UNNECESSARY! If more women who had an "early detection" would learn how to change their diet, take Laetrile and other changes that support healing, I believe we would see WAY more women beating breast cancer for good.

Overtreatments common for breast cancer

A good article discussing how many women are prescribed tamoxifen even if their cancer is not stimulated by estrogen, and some more information on how women fare after getting a lumpectomy vs a mastectomy.

Once again, as in many of the mainstream articles, it is NEVER mentioned how the women fare who opt to not do surgery, chemo or radiation and instead use natural methods to fix the underlying problem. How can the mainstream continue to ignore this fact???

Surgery is not necessarily without risks and I am not just talking about infections. It also likely spreads the cancer because they can NEVER "get it all" as much as they like to tell people that. The cliche "we think we got it all" is so untrue. The cancer cells left behind become more aggressive and right at the time when your body is recovering from surgery as well.

I have been finishing the book World Without Cancer and it is quite the eye opener. I also continue to take Laetrile and have increased to three times a day at least with 500mg. I continue to take the Zeolite as well and I alternate the Artemisinin now every other evening.

What really shocks me about the linked article above is - they mentioned that some women with mastectomies were given radiation.. Um.. why? The breast tissue is gone.. what is left to irradiate? And I saw that some women are still being given chemotherapy when it should be well known by now that chemotherapy is NOT recommended for breast cancer. I also believe, even if it has shown up in the lymph nodes - it should not be used. Of course I wouldn't take a chemo drug EVER. Well that is unless I wanted to commit suicide which is what you are doing if you let them inject you with chemo drugs. The chemo drugs they are "treating" people with suppress the immune system at a time when it is ALREADY SUPPRESSED in some way. So hey let's kick it in the groin while we're at it!

Watch out for Organic Fakes

Apparently the consumer demand for organic has created some not so honest organic food producers who label their foods as organic but the source of the food is not necessarily what you would expect.

Also see this link on mercola.com to how to find locally produced organic food in your area:


I for one, am disappointed to find out that Stonyfield Farms Organic Yogurt is not really what I thought it was and not particularly healthy. I was using that in my health shakes and I will promptly throw it right out now that I know the truth.

Very sad when you cannot trust food labels. Not only do I need to read the labels, but now I have to do additional research before I even go to the grocery store. Pretty irritating.

TV is Ruining Your Life

A great article here on how you can actually be brave enough to give up TV. I have.

I actually stopped watching TV well before my early July breast cancer diagnosis and I don't miss it. There are times when in social gatherings people say "Hey did you see that commercial on.. ?" or they discuss a new TV series of which I know nothing. But guess what.. there are lots of other interesting things to talk about than "what's on TV"

In fact a good 98% of my life is commercial free. The only time I see advertising is the few banner ads on web sites (I use Firefox and block pop-ups and many banner ads), or in a magazine or billboard. I have not heard a SINGLE political ad for the upcoming election which makes my heart sing! I have Sirius Satellite Radio for my music and mostly listen to the "Spa" channel which is continuous New Age relaxing music and wonderfully peaceful background music.

If I want to buy something, I seek it in Google or Froogle and I research it on the Internet. I don't need advertisers to SUGGEST a product I might need. I can come up with those ideas all by myself and then I evaluate the choices. This is the way it should be. We are simply BOMBARDED with buy this buy that junk in our world and it should be considered a form of pollution.. Mind pollution...

Furthermore, most of the advertising suggests you aren't good enough the way you are unless you buy their product. They constantly promote perfect people with perfect teeth, perfect hair, perfect skin.. you can have this too if only you buy our product. Bullshit. You want to have a perfect body, stop filling it with chemicals and processed food and start eating what we were intended to eat, which is fresh, natural, live foods.. and you don't find them in a can.

I walk my dogs in the early evening darkness and see almost every household with a TV glowing in the living room... rarely do I walk by a house where people are home and the TV is not on. This is a fundamental problem in our society. TV teaches you to be apathetic, lazy and in need of external stimulation. And then there are the constant subliminal messages about how you should live your life.

Don't even get me started on the freaking DRUG ads that are promoted like some kind of personal care product that will make your life wonderful. The pharmaceutical companies are really just legitimate DRUG PUSHERS. They use the same tactics to get people hooked as the corner drug dealer but they have a whole lot more money and government permission to assault the public with their advertising.

Advertising by drug companies should never have been allowed. It cuts the Doctor out of the loop and basically makes him a highly paid pharmacist. Patients come in and ask for Drug X that they saw on TV. This is not the way it should be. It is ASS BACKWARDS. The Doctor needs to be the expert on the drug to prescribe. However, I think even with that system, our entire healthcare system approach is terribly flawed in that even Doctors believe there is drug to fix nearly every problem of the human race.

Juicing now a part of my diet

Last Friday I received my new masticating juicer, an Omega 8003. There are other recommended juicers out there which are similar. I happened to settle on this one and I really like how easy it is to clean and how quiet it is.. big pluses for using a juicer.

The deal with a masticating juicer vs one that whirs things to death is that it literally squeezes the juice out of things. A blender/food processor type of juicer leaves a lot of the juice in the pulp so you have to juice a lot more stuff to get the juice you should. The whirring of things also heats the enzymes just enough to damage them and the physical whirring also may damage the enzymes.

With a juicer, you can get the nutrients of a lot more vegetables and fruits than you would if you tried to eat them with the pulp. The pulp has value for fiber content, but by squeezing the nutrients out you can get a powerhouse glass of nutrients and enzymes that you can't buy at any store. The juicer allows me to increase the amount of raw foods I consume without feeling like a rabbit eating only salads - although I do try to eat a good sized salad every day.

MRI results

MRI is done and I have reviewed the various slices. Nothing dramatic to report except to say it has not grown and it does appear that the edges are less "spiculated" in medical terminology. On further investigation to try to figure out exactly what less spiculation means, I discovered that MRI really might not be the ideal way for me to monitor this breast lump because even a benign lesion can take up contrast dye and appear malignant. I found a very detailed article on the value of MRI with breast lumps and it turns out that they are not quite as accurate as I originally thought. MRI has value but perhaps it will not give me the information I need to monitor this.

Here is a quote from a study that I found on Breast MRI accuracy:

Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast is known to reveal breast cancer with higher sensitivity than mammography alone. The specificity is, however, compromised by the observation that several benign masses take up contrast agent in addition to malignant lesions.

This means that inside that mass could be millions of dead and dying cancer cells and necrotic tumor tissue but it would still appear the same on the MRI. Sigh. Because of this I won't be getting another MRI for at least 6 months since I don't expect the size to diminish in less time than that.


SO.. I have made an appointment finally for a breast thermography test at a local facility - and there weren't many places who have this test in my area suprisingly. Not sure if the test shows no heat pattern, what that might mean, but in any case I will get the test now and check back in a month or two and see if any changes.

Here are two sample images from my MRI today compared to my prior one in July at the same facility:


October 18, 2006


July 5, 2006

The dilemma is - now that I know I have this lump and I'm not going to remove it surgically, how do I monitor it and whether it has metastisized? I suppose I can use the AMAS blood test and perhaps find another cancer marker blood test to use as a monitor. But it seems that it will be difficult to prove that what I am doing is working until months go by and I haven't gotten sick or there isn't some downward spiral in my health. I'd love to find a more definite way to monitor this and a PEM scan is just too risky to do as often as I'd like with the radiation exposure.

Breast lumps are just not as simple as say.. cholesterol level. That is much easier to track. What I need to find is a test that measures the cancer marker for this tumor so I can say today it is a particular number and then see if next month it is less.

If I find an optimal way to monitor this lump, then it will have implications for all women even those without known breast lumps. So stay tuned...

Here is a link with some ideas for other tests I plan to try for monitoring things:

Vitamin D and Breast Cancer

Very exciting news on the important role of Vitamin D in preventing and stopping breast cancer in this article...

Excerpts:

NewsTarget) According to new research published in the Journal of Clinical Pathology, women with advanced-stage breast cancer have significantly lower levels of vitamin D in their bodies than women in the early stages of the disease.

"This report, while being an observational study, clearly shows that circulating vitamin D levels are lower in advanced breast cancer as compared to early breast cancer," said Dr. Carlo Palmieri of Imperial College London. "It lends support to the idea that vitamin D has a role in the progression of breast cancer.

The Codex must be stopped

From this very good article:

The United Nations World Health Organization is attempting to make the Codex Alimentarious effective in every country. It has been initiated in both Germany and Australia, according to reports. This severely limits access to dietary supplements like vitamins and minerals. For example, if the Codex is fully activated, it will be necessary for us to obtain a physician’s prescription to purchase more than RDA amounts of vitamin C. Beyond the extra cost involved, this represents a serious health threat since this substance is an important liver metabolite.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are more articles:

http://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/codex/Codex_Alarm_by_Hammell.html
http://www.pnc.com.au/~cafmr/newsl/codex.html
http://www.healthsavers.info/CodexPage.htm
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/

One thing they can't take from us is getting our vitamins through foods by using a masticating juicer. If the Codex goes through and we are less and less able to get nutritional supplements, then this will be where we will need to turn for staying healthy. Hopefully it will not come to that. This Codex started out as a good idea - to improve the safety of food - but it has gone horribly off track in targeting nutritional supplements and limiting consumers to being able to buy supplements that are as potent as they need to be.

Mammograms can cause cancer

I know I have posted on this before but I found a very good article just now on this topic that I want to include here again to continue to emphasize, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, something you won't be hearing from the media or your doctor and that is that mammograms in women under 35 can actually cause 75 cancers for every 15 breast cancers it identifies!

Read the full article here and become educated on the real facts that you won't hear from your doctor.

Excerpts from the article I'd like to highlight:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is mammography an effective tool for detecting tumors? Some critics say no. In a Swedish study of 60,000 women, 70 percent of the mammographically detected tumors weren't tumors at all. These "false positives" aren't just financial and emotional strains, they may also lead to many unnecessary and invasive biopsies. In fact, 70 to 80 percent of all positive mammograms do not, upon biopsy, show any presence of cancer.
------------------------------------------
Since mammographic screening was introduced, the incidence of a form of breast cancer called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has increased by 328 percent. Two hundred percent of this increase is allegedly due to mammography. In addition to harmful radiation, mammography may also help spread existing cancer cells due to the considerable pressure placed on the woman's breast during the procedure. According to some health practitioners, this compression could cause existing cancer cells to metastasize from the breast tissue.
----------------------------------------------
The majority of health experts agree that the risk of breast cancer for women under 35 is not high enough to warrant the risk of radiation exposure. Similarly, the risk of breast cancer to women over 55 justifies the risk of mammograms. The statistics about mammography and women between the ages of 40 and 55 are the most contentious. A 1992 Canadian National Breast Cancer Study showed that mammography had no positive effect on mortality for women between the ages of 40 and 50. In fact, the study seemed to suggest that women in that age group are more likely to die of breast cancer when screened regularly.
------------------------------------------------
While screening is an important step in fighting breast cancer, many researchers are looking for alternatives to mammography. Burton Goldberg totes the safety and accuracy of new thermography technologies. Able to detect cancers at a minute physical stage of development, thermography does not use x-rays, nor is there any compression of the breast. Also important, new thermography technologies do not lose effectiveness with dense breast tissue, decreasing the chances of false-negative results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


What I find to be the most deplorable about all this is - that when I discovered my own lump, the first thing the doctor wanted to do was a mammogram and in fact, the breast compression was the WORST thing that could be done to a breast with a suspcious lump. The mammogram in the end showed nothing more than we already knew - that there was a mass in my breast - so the risk was not worth the result at all. Did anyone tell me that or explain the risks? No. That is what really pisses me off. Did anyone tell me that sticking a needle into my breast carried a risk of spreading the cancer if it were in fact cancer? No! This kind of attitude and lack of information between doctor and patient really erodes my trust in all doctors. Your best protection is to BE INFORMED and I hope this blog is helping you in that endeavor.

MRI scheduled for next week

I have another MRI scheduled for October 18th, just over 90 days after the first MRI on July 5th. This MRI will be at the same facility as the July 5th MRI so I should be able to compare the two better than could be done with the MRI from a different facility, which resulted in an alarming report that characterized the lump as having almost doubled in size. In reality, the scale was just different and the interpreting doctor did not bother to look at the prior MRI pictures or he would have seen that it did not change at all in size in the 5 weeks since the first MRI.

What I have learned from all of this, more than ever, is that you really have to be in charge of your own health and treatment and ask lots of questions about test results. Don't take them at face value. You are just another number to most doctors and diagnostic facilities and they really don't have the time to truly evaluate your situation. They make a lot of decisions based on a small sample of tests and they assume that all test reports are correct, when that is not necessarily the case. Question everything.

New and deadly intestinal bug comes from overuse of antibiotics

OK now we are starting to see even more results of the uncontrolled use of antibiotics in our population. This year doctors and hospitals are seeing a new very infectious intestinal bug appearing in the community and everyone should be very concerned about this.

Here are more articles:

ATLANTA, GA, United States (UPI) -- A mutant strain of diarrhea is pushing the condition`s ongoing epidemic, the national Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta said.

Severe Clostridium difficile diarrheal disease is caused by a bug carried unknowingly by about 3 percent of the U.S. population, WebMD.com said Friday. Most antibiotics that kill normal bacteria don`t affect C. diff, which is attacked by normal bacteria found in the body.

Once confined to elderly, hospitalized patients, the new strain is infecting young, non-hospitalized people, WebMD.com said.

Symptoms range from mild diarrhea to life-threatening colon infection, WebMD.com said. The new strain can produce up to 20 times more of the toxins that normal C. diff produces, the medical Web site said.

Scientists said several factors may have caused the bug to mutate, WebMD.com said. These include the bug`s becoming resistant to commonly used antibiotics and certain heartburn drugs being linked to C. diff infections. Or, possibly, a new bug is moving across the globe.

Scientists at the University of Illinois have studied the antibiotic vancomycin`s effect on the new C. diff strain, WebMD.com said. So far, the mutant strain hasn`t shown resistance to the antibiotic.

'Superbug' patient dies

By Barbara Jordan

AN elderly patient has died after contracting a super bug in Warrington Hospital - weeks before all medical emergencies are transferred from Halton.

Although John Lomas, 83, died of septicaemia, a urinary tract infection and a heart complication on September 2, the doctor who certified his death said the super bug was a contributory factor.

Five days after his admission, his family was told he had a gut infection - when he had in fact contracted clostridium difficile, a super bug.

"Older people are very susceptible to this," said his son, John. "But we weren't told it was infectious and my 81-year-old mother was visiting him.

Despite an admission by North Cheshire Hospitals NHS Trust that whenever possible patients with clostridium difficile are nursed in a side room with infection control precautions', Mr Lomas was a patient in an open ward.

Hospital bosses have promised a full investigation.

A hospital spokesman, said: "The trust should like to reassure all patients and visitors to Warrington Hospital that it does take clostridium difficile very seriously."

The closure of five medical and surgical wards at Halton Hospital started on Sunday as emergency medical care is being transferred to Warrington.

Bacterial disease turning up in pregnant women

TORONTO (Oct 13, 2006)

Cases of C. difficile-associated disease, once found almost exclusively in elderly hospitalized people, seem to be cropping up increasingly in groups not thought to be at high risk.

The latest? Pregnant women.

Research presented at a major infectious disease conference yesterday suggests a possible rise in Clostridium difficile cases in healthy pregnant women or women who have recently given birth -- a finding that is baffling both to doctors who treated the women and experts studying the disease.

"I don't want to raise an alarm about this because it's still obviously relatively uncommon," lead author Dr. Judith O'Donnell said in an interview.

She was at a loss to explain why pregnancy might put women at higher risk of developing C. difficile.

C. difficile is a bacterium which can grow out of control in the gut if the normal bacterial balance is thrown off by use of antibiotics or some other factor.

The breast cancer scam machine

And now we have this article exposing yet again the huge corporate profits that are to be made off the backs of breast cancer survivors and how the hype does not really benefit finding a cure for breast cancer. There are people out there basically preying on breast cancer survivors as a group and stuffing lots of money into their own pockets under the guise of collecting money to fund breast cancer research. I wonder if they can sleep at night.

More on the down sides of conventional treatments

This story further illustrates how barbaric and wrong using chemotherapy and radiation as a "treatment" for cancer is.

You need RealMedia player (free) to listen to this NPR story:

Childhood Cancer Survivors Suffer in Adulthood

The story talks about childhood cancer survivors who are dealing with multiple health problems resulting FROM THE TREATMENTS they received. They are getting second and third cancers FROM THE TREATMENTS. AND even more shocking is that these patients were not told about their higher risk of subsequent health problems and they were not tracked or advised to monitor their health more closely. This is total medical MIA. So many are getting breast cancer years later and other cancers and because they were not told of their higher risk, they did not get the kind of screening they should have to monitor their health. They were just released from the system - see ya.. good luck..

What I don't hear in this story is that if everyone could JUST understand that the underlying cause of cancer is poor health and nutrition from the low quality of food we are eating combined with the toxic assault from our environment. Instead the medical profession uses MORE toxins and damaging things to "treat" cancer and they CONTINUE to be clueless about how to truly heal chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes.

Please see this article as well on how they continue to use cause and effect only looking at SYMPTOMS as they relate to each other without looking at the UNDERLYING chronic cause.

Abraham Cherrix update

I'm happy to report that Abraham Cherrix, the teen who fought for the right to be able to use alternative therapy for his cancer, and the right to refuse toxic chemotherapy, is improving and has a good chance of beating this cancer without the conventional toxic treatments. When will mainstream medicine, the American Cancer Society and others like them, wake up to the fact that cancer CAN be cured through boosting immune health and not by destroying it!

http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories/story.cfm?story=112337&ran=178147

Their scam has been discovered and people are not going to the slaughter like sheep as they used to. They are taking their own health care into their own hands because quite simply, our doctors can no longer be trusted to make decisions in our best interests regarding chronic diseases. The doctors have already failed most of us by allowing chronic diseases to progress instead of educating patients on how the diseases come about and how they can be stopped. Instead, they ply us with drugs to cover the symptoms in most cases or in the case of cancer, they burn it, cut it or poison it out. At what cost? Our lives...

My favorite sources of information

I wanted to list these separately so that anyone interested in true healing and detoxification can find the same unbiased sources of information that can be found, to help sort out all the misinformation.

Here are the sites I visit on a regular basis to stay current with news and information that is truly aimed at helping you and not exploiting the trust of people for their own gain:

1. NewsTarget.com
2. Mercola.com
3. Enivornmental Working Group
   

"Chemo-brain" is something you do not want!

Yet another reason to reject chemotherapy can be found in this article published today in Forbes Magazine. I really don't understand why the doctors and scientists are so surprised by chemotherapy causing reduced brain function. They are POISONING patients while trying to kill cancer cells. Hello? Are you really that dense that you don't understand that could have potential long term consequences?

Jury finds for plaintiff in Prempro trial

Philadelphia Jury Finds for Plaintiff in First Prempro Hormone Replacement Case in State Court
Wednesday October 4, 6:56 pm ET

Case Will Proceed to Second Phase Exploring Whether Wyeth Adequately Warned Users About the Drug's Risk

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- In the first state court case, the jury today found that plaintiff's use of Wyeth's hormone therapy Prempro was a cause of her breast cancer and awarded Jennie Nelson, age 66, $1.5 million in compensatory damages. The case will continue to a second, or liability, phase following today's jury decision in Jennie Nelson v. Wyeth, in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.

Read the full article here.... and another one can be found here

What I find particularly repulsive is Wyeth's continued denial that they are causing cancer in people who are taking their drugs and this is just so typical of pharmaceutical companies. When will this country wake up and realize we have been sold down the river by our own doctors who are nothing more than front men and women for drug companies? Our doctors DON'T know enough about the drugs they prescribe and they are basically experimenting on us! They also don't "manage" patients and understand how drugs interact.

As a patient YOU have to be your own doctor and be informed. If you choose to rely only on your doctor today, you will suffer the health consequences of being so lazy.

New test coming soon for breast cancer screening!

This is the kind of post I love to make the most.. because for a change it's good news. This article explains a new breath test for breast cancer that is being developed in Australia. It will augment existing screening tools but you still won't see me getting any more mammograms.. I will use Breast MRI, AMAS blood test and hopefully, soon, this breath test.

The Big Food Companies Don't Want You to Be Healthy

Apparently the US "food industry" is going to file a lawsuit against New York City for attempting to ban the use of hydrogenated fats in restaurants in the city.

I say Hooray for NYC!

This reminds me of the tobacco companies trying to keep cigarrettes in our mouths because they made bald faced LIES when they pointed to studies that proved they weren't harmful to human health. Same thing here except there are ALREADY studies that show hydrogenated (synthetically produced) fats are carcinogenic. We can choose to not have hydrogenated fats when we shop at the grocery store finally, but we can't make that choice in a restaurant.

You would THINK that with the overwhelming evidence against hydrogenated fats that the companies who make this junk would say - hey you know what - this stuff is bad for people - let's not continue to make it - just on their consciences alone. But money and greed drives these big food corporations and in the end, it will only come home to roost when it hits them in their BIG FAT POCKETS. We, as consumers, have to speak with our dollars and stop buying their CRAP.

Here is the NewsTarget article to read more

We are NOT winning the War on Cancer

This article from the UK echoes what I have been reading in the alternative health books I have found.. and that sentiment is VASTLY different from what is peddled to us in mainstream media by the big Pharma and Medical PR companies in the United States.

Breast cancer is increasing and now it is practically 1 in 3 women who will have a bout with breast cancer before the end of their lives. Is it screening that catches more breast cancer or is it the early screening catching more things that LOOK like breast cancer or is the screening itself causing the breast cancer? That is the question. I don't want to advocate avoidance of screening however the current screening methods IN THEMSELVES CAUSE CANCER as in RADIATION of the BREASTS. Am I making myself clear?

We MUST demand better screening for breast cancer and ALL cancer. Out with mammograms and biopsies and in with some new cutting edge technologies using blood tests, urine samples, Infrared and Thermography! We must start making some noise about this to rock the boat or we will continue on this downward spiral toward more and more cancer.

With that being said.. if you are concerned about cancer or breast cancer - am I going to get it or not.. I can tell you this - you are setting your body up for SOME kind of chronic illness if you keep eating the CRAP they sell us at Burger King and the grocery store and most restaurants. If you keep eating cheetos and pizza for your dinner, your health WILL decline. It's GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT just like computers...

Blood test profile since 2002

Here is a screen shot of my last three years of blood tests showing various levels. Some have improved, some need work yet. If you click on the image it will show in much more readable form. Bolded items are considered "elevated" by the labs.

Other regular parts of my regimen which are new

Under the guidance of my new family doctor, Dr. Andrew Lipton, I am getting PAPIMI treatments in his office. You can see information about PAPIMI in earlier posts. I am aiming to get a total of 12 treatments and after that is complete I will get a new MRI at the same facility as the first MRI in July so that I can compare directly to the July MRI.

Dr Lipton is an Osteopath and his office provides support to patient healing and education, as well as many alternative therapies such as Oxidation therapy, Chelation therapy and Vit C IV drips. I am happy to have a doctor helping me who is aware of holistic health.

My father is also becoming a patient to help solve his lower back pain, which has caused him to depend on a wheel chair recently. He is 84 and otherwise in excellent health for his age. I am trying to get both parents off prescription meds and they are both phasing them out (although my Mom did cold turkey stop of Zocor - not recommended). My Dad is getting Osteopathic manipulations with another doctor in this office with the Spencer Technique as well as treatments on the PAPIMI machine. He has had problems with this for two years, with it only worsening and he has used pain meds and epidurals in the past. I have been working on him to not continue covering up the symptoms but fix the problem and I think it is finally sinking in.

I will update on his progress as a side note in case anyone has this kind of problem and wonders if PAPIMI and the Osteopathic treatments can help. I am confident that they will.

New products added to my health regimen

In additon to my earlier supplement protocol I have added B17 otherwise known as Laetrile, to my regimen. You can order it at ApricotPower.com I received 1 bottle of 500mg powder in capsules as well as a 2lb bag of Apricot Kernels. I ground the kernels in my coffee mill and store in a jar in my refrigerator. I take the kernel powder in my morning health shake. The apricot kernel meal is a little bitter so you really don't want to sprinkle it on your cereal.

The misinformation that is out there about Laetrile tries to scare people that it can be toxic and creates cyanide. However, for cancer patients, most of them receive 20 GRAMS or more of Laetrile via slow drip IV daily for around 20 days without any cyanide poisoning. The cyanide is created ONLY in the cancer cells and that is what kills the cancer cells. The Apricot Power site gives some recommendations about how much to take as well as this site - WorldWithoutCancer.org

On the WorldWithoutCancer.org site, you can find guidelines for taking it orally as a cancer patient. For the most serious cases, it is recommended to get the highest doses via IV and to do that, you have to go to Mexico or other countries that allow it's use. The U.S has banned dispensing it inside the US which is a total crime against the population of the United States. Their reason for banning it is BOGUS. Thank GOD you can buy it online but I don't know if that will always be the case since there is a HUGE movement to block it in the conventional medicine/pharma institutions in this country who don't wish to have a cancer cure that cannot be patented (aka natural).

Several of my recently purchased books discuss the Laetrile controversy and the science behind it and I list them in recent posts. The most notable is of course the book World Without Cancer by G Edward Griffin.

I am taking 1-2 tablets with each meal currently and about 2 TBSP of the ground powder with my morning shakes.

Unfortunately, since I am doing many things to fight this breast cancer lump, I will never know what was most effective. However, I believe all of the things I am doing will get rid of it.

Probably the most important change I have made involves avoidance of ingested artificial anything and change to total veg/fruit/whole grain diet. Very little animal protein or fats - probably about 5-10% of my daily intake at the most. No sugar except from fruit. No processed food of ANY kind and no ingredients in my food that are not ALL natural and that includes no hydrolyzed soy protein and yeast extracts - all hidden MSG products and found in MANY organic or supposedly healthy products.

I continue to lose about 1 pound a week with my diet changes. I would be happy to ultimately get back to upper 130's for normal weight and I fully expect to achieve that. I have been upper 150's for at least 15 years now and it has not been optimal for me. I believe that birth control pills taken in my 20's and early 30's contributed to abnormal weight gain as well as the use of diet products that actually PROMOTED weight gain. Yes! That is the sad irony. Artificial sweeteners actually make it HARDER to lose weight! What a SCAM!
