Researchers from Japan’s National Cancer Center in Tokyo have found that an increased intake of magnesium reduces a man’s risk of colon cancer by over 50 per cent. Men with the highest average intakes of magnesium (at least 327 mg/d) were associated with a 52 per cent lower risk of colon cancer, compared to men who consumed the lowest average intakes. Published in the Journal of Nutrition[1] the research studied 87,117 people with an average age of 57 and followed for about eight years. Dietary intakes were assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. Average intakes of magnesium for men and women were 284 and 279 milligrams per day.

After putting this research into my just finished second edition of the Transdermal Magnesium Therapy book I thought I would share the finished version of the Magnesium and Cancer chapter, which you will see below. But before I do I want to comment about the need to avoid cancer and avoid diabetes and heart disease through an intelligent program of magnesium supplementation. Also I need to thrust on you the conclusion that with magnesium deficiency being a cause it is also in part a necessary curative agent that should be included in EVERY cancer, diabetic and heart disease patient’s protocol. And believe you me I do not use this EVERY word lightly!

A meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies by researchers at Stockholm’s Karolinska Institutet, reported that for every 100 milligram increase in magnesium intake, the risk of developing type-2 diabetes decreased by 15 per cent.[2] Even after this type of information comes out we find Dr. Susanna Larsson and Dr. Alicia Wolk concluding that while it is too early to recommend magnesium supplements for type-2 diabetes prevention, increased consumption of magnesium-rich food “seems prudent.” This is not an intelligent magnesium supplementation program so is not prudent to say the least. With foods losing much of their nutritional value and for other factors as well it’s next to impossible to intake enough dietary magnesium to reach the medicinal levels that are required to address magnesium cell deficiencies.

Who is running around screaming from the hilltops that magnesium should be taken in high amounts for those wishing to avoid the agony of cancer and its orthodox treatment at the hands of allopathic oncologists? Who in contemporary medical circles has a clear enough head to see magnesium as a physicist would see gravity or any other basic principle of life? Most people inside the medical system just do not know what they don’t know and they don’t seem interested in finding out. This is a modern disease and I am sorry to say that even some people deep within the folds of the magnesium world have not understood what is really necessary to treat patients with magnesium effectively.

There is no room for doubts, second thoughts, excuses or anything else. Ignorance of magnesium and how it is best supplemented is not excusable, we have to know about all the methods of administration including intravenous, oral, transdermal and nebulized magnesium and how to best leverage a combination of these for each patients individual needs.

The pharmaceutical paradigm (interests) just does not want its practitioners to see what really is causing or underlying many of the dramatic diseases humanity is facing today, it does not want to see, even though the evidence and studies are everywhere, that magnesium deficiency is a primary cause and primary way to treat the vast majority of sufferers of chronic disease and cancer. Everyone benefits from higher magnesium intake. Everyone, even medical officials might be able to think and feel better if they were not running their magnesium tanks on empty.

There is a power and a force in magnesium that cannot be equaled anywhere else in the world of medicine. There is no substitute for magnesium in human physiology; nothing comes even close to it in terms of its effect on overall cell physiology. Without sufficient magnesium, the body accumulates toxins and acid residues, degenerates rapidly, and ages prematurely. It goes against a gale wind of medical science to ignore magnesium chloride in the treatment of any chronic or acute disorder, especially cancer.

In the U.S., combined annual costs to treat diabetes and for additional factors such as lost productivity amount to $174 billion, according to the American Heart Association. Heart experts worry that without better ways to prevent and treat diabetes, the disease threatens to reverse nearly a half-century of advances against cardiovascular disease, which remains the world’s leading killer. But these same experts are blinded by their own arrogance because medical science has already delivered a fundamental answer, which will not change with time, opinion or ignorance of scientific facts. Nothing will ever change the vital place that magnesium takes in biological life. It is fundamental to health and medicine.

We can add many more hundreds of billions to cover the costs of cancer in the same terms and hundreds of billions more for a variety of other diseases. If the medical establishment could just see the forest from the trees (which it cannot) and recommend in the clear to all patients to vastly increase their magnesium intake, and their intake of other minerals like iodine, selenium and bicarbonate we would have a great shift in health and the public would receive more benefit than from any new national health plan that just gives us more medicine that does more harm then good.

It’s an open and shut case when it comes to magnesium but I spend a whole chapter answering Why Don’t Cardiologists Use More Magnesium in my book. Go to the Magnesium for Life site to read the research on magnesium and cancer that is there for everyone to see. No matter how much attention I get from the use of sodium bicarbonate and iodine in cancer treatment nothing has shoved me from the position I take that it is magnesium that comes first in a cancer protocol, then these other minerals.

Contemporary medicine is in a state of crisis. In fact it’s going terminal and will go down hard when the economy does. Orthodox medicine is dead on arrival because free inquiry, natural curiosity and open-minded discussion died so long ago no one can remember anything else. The ‘new inquisition’ (conducted on a regular basis by the FDA) consists not of cardinals and popes, but of the editors and reviewers of medical journals, of leading medical authorities and behind them pharmaceutical corporations and governments that have a vested interest in keeping the status quo. These people are ignorant, massively so of the medical science on magnesium. They might as well be astronauts with no idea of the laws of gravity.

In truth medical science theory should always surrender to the primacy of evidence and there is no shortage of evidence and research on magnesium. When it comes to new ideas evidence is ignored, and then ridiculed, and if that fails, authors are attacked. But when it comes to magnesium there is nothing medical officials can do. They might as well face a tidal wave standing on the beach so conclusive and extensive is the research.

Magnesium repletion produced rapid
disappearance of the periosteal tumors.[1]

Aleksandrowicz et al in Poland conclude that inadequacy of magnesium and antioxidants are important risk factors in predisposing to leukemias.[2] Other researchers found that 46% of the patients admitted to an ICU in a tertiary cancer center presented hypomagnesemia. They concluded that the incidence of hypomagnesemia in critically ill cancer patients is high.[3]In animal studies we find that magnesium deficiency has caused lymphopoietic neoplasms in young rats. A study of rats surviving magnesium deficiency sufficient to cause death in convulsions during early infancy in some, and cardiorenal lesions weeks later in others, disclosed that some of survivors had thymic nodules or lymphosarcoma.[4]

One would not normally think that Magnesium (Mg) deficiency can paradoxically increase the risk of, or protect against cancer yet we will find that just as severe dehydration or asphyxiation can cause death magnesium deficiency can directly lead to cancer. When you consider that over 300 enzymes and ion transport require magnesium and that its role in fatty acid and phospholipids acid metabolism affects permeability and stability of membranes, we can see that magnesium deficiency would lead to physiological decline in cells setting the stage for cancer. Anything that weakens cell physiology will lead to the infections that surround and penetrate tumor tissues. These infections are proving to be an integral part of cancer. Magnesium deficiency poses a direct threat to the health of our cells. Without sufficient amounts our cells calcify and rot. Breeding grounds for yeast and fungi colonies they become, invaders all too ready to strangle our life force and kill us.

Over 300 different enzymes systems rely upon magnesium to facilitate
their catalytic action, including ATP metabolism, creatine-kinase
activation, adenylate-cyclase, and sodium-potassium-ATPase.[5]

It is known that carcinogenesis induces magnesium distribution disturbances, which cause magnesium mobilization through blood cells and magnesium depletion in non-neoplastic tissues. Magnesium deficiency seems to be carcinogenic, and in case of solid tumors, a high level of supplemented magnesium inhibits carcinogenesis.[6] Both carcinogenesis and magnesium deficiency increase the plasma membrane permeability and fluidity. Scientists have in fact found out that there is much less Mg++ binding to membrane phospholipids of cancer cells, than to normal cell membranes.[7]

Magnesium protects cells from aluminum,
mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and nickel.

Magnesium in general is essential for the survival of our cells but takes on further importance in the age of toxicity where our bodies are being bombarded on a daily basis with heavy metals. Glutathione requires magnesium for its synthesis.[8] Glutathione synthetase requires ?-glutamyl cysteine, glycine, ATP, and magnesium ions to form glutathione.[9] In magnesium deficiency, the enzyme y-glutamyl transpeptidase is lowered.[10] According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, low magnesium is associated with dramatic increases in free radical generation as well as glutathione depletion and this is vital since glutathione is one of the few antioxidant molecules known to neutralize mercury.[11] Without the cleaning and chelating work of glutathione (magnesium) cells begin to decay as cellular filth and heavy metals accumulates; excellent environments to attract deadly infection/cancer.

There is drastic change in ionic flux from the outer
and inner cell membranes both in the impaired
membranes of cancer, and in Mg deficiency.

Anghileri et al[12],[13] proposed that modifications of cell membranes are principal triggering factors in cell transformation leading to cancer. Using cells from induced cancers, they found that there is much less magnesium binding to membrane phospholipids of cancer cells, than to normal cell membranes.[14] It has been suggested that Mg deficiency may trigger carcinogenesis by increasing membrane permeability.[15] Magnesium deficient cells membranes seem to have a smoother surface than normal, and decreased membrane viscosity, analogous to changes in human leukemia cells.[16],[17] There is drastic change in ionic flux from the outer and inner cell membranes (higher Ca and Na; lower Mg and K levels), both in the impaired membranes of cancer, and of Mg deficiency. And we find that lead (Pb) salts, are more leukemogenic when given to Mg deficient rats, than when they are given to Mg-adequate rats, suggesting that Mg is protective.[18]

Magnesium has an effect on a variety of cell membranes
through a process involving calcium channels and ion transport
mechanisms. Magnesium is responsible for the maintenance
of the trans-membrane gradients of sodium and potassium.

Long ago researchers postulated that magnesium supplementation of those who are Mg deficient, like chronic alcoholics, might decrease emergence of malignancies[19] and now modern researchers have found that all types of alcohol — wine, beer or liquor — add equally to the risk of developing breast cancer in women. The researchers, led by Dr. Arthur Klatsky of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in Oakland, Calif., revealed their findings at a meeting of the European Cancer Organization in Barcelona in late 2007. It was found that women who had one or two drinks a day increased their risk of developing breast cancer by 10 percent. Women who had more than three drinks a day raised their risk by 30 percent. The more one drinks the more one drives down magnesium levels.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer
killer of women, after lung cancer. It will be diagnosed in
1.2 million people globally this year and will kill 500,000.

According to data published in the British Journal of Cancer in 2002, 4 percent of all breast cancers — about 44,000 cases a year — in the United Kingdom are due to alcohol consumption. It’s an important question though, and one not asked by medical or health officials, is it the alcohol itself or the resultant drop in magnesium levels that is cancer provoking? Though some studies have shown that light- to moderate alcohol use can protect against heart attacks it does us no good to drink if it causes cancer. Perhaps if magnesium was supplemented in women drinkers who were studied there would have been no increase of cancer from drinking.

Alcohol has always been known to deplete magnesium,
and is one of the first supplements given to alcoholics
when they stop and attempt to detoxify and withdraw.

Researchers from the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota have just concluded that diets rich in magnesium reduced the occurrence of colon cancer.[20] A previous study from Sweden[21] reported that women with the highest magnesium intake had a 40 per cent lower risk of developing the cancer than those with the lowest intake of the mineral.

Magnesium stabilizes ATP[22], allowing
DNA and RNA transcriptions and repairs.[23]

The anti-colon cancer effects of calcium are linked to magnesium levels, says a new study. Researchers from Vanderbilt University found that low ratios of the minerals were associated with reduced risk of colorectal cancer, according to findings presented at the Seventh Annual American Association for Cancer Research International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research. Both high magnesium and calcium levels have been linked to reduced risks of colon cancer but studies have also shown that high calcium levels inhibit the absorption of magnesium. According to Qi Dai, MD, PhD, and co-workers, Americans have high calcium intake, but also a high incidence of colorectal cancer. “If calcium levels were involved alone, you’d expect the opposite direction. There may be something about these two factors combined – the ratio of one to the other – that might be at play,” said Dai. The risk of colorectal cancer adenoma recurrence was reduced by 32 per cent among those with baseline calcium to magnesium ratio below the median in comparison to no reduction for those above the median,” said Dai.[24]

Pre-treatment hypomagnesemia has been reported
in young leukemic children, 78% of whom have histories
of anorexia, and have excessive gut and urinary losses of Mg.[25]

Several studies have shown an increased cancer rate in regions with low magnesium levels in soil and drinking water, and the same for selenium. In Egypt the cancer rate was only about 10% of that in Europe and America. In the rural fellah it was practically non-existent. The main difference was an extremely high magnesium intake of 2.5 to 3g in these cancer-free populations, ten times more than in most western countries.[26]

The School of Public Health at the Kaohsiung Medical College in,
Taiwan, found that magnesium also exerts a protective effect
against gastric cancer, but only for the group with the highest levels.[27]

If we looked it would probably be very difficult to find a cancer patient with anywhere near normal levels of cellular magnesium meaning cancer probably does not exist in a physical cellular environment full of magnesium. It makes perfect medical sense to saturate the body with magnesium through transdermal means. Magnesium deficiency has been implicated in a host of clinical disorders but the medical establishment just cannot get it through its thick skull that it is an important medicine.

It is as if the collective medical profession had just pulled the plug on medical intelligence. In fact it has done exactly this and it seems too late for it to redefine itself, which is a tragedy. Though magnesium improves the internal production of defensive substances, such as antibodies and considerably improves the operational activity of white granulozytic blood cells (shown by Delbert with magnesium chloride), and contributes to many other functions that insure the integrity of cellular metabolism, no one thinks to use it in cancer as a primary treatment. It is even worse than this, the medical establishment does not even use magnesium as a secondary treatment or even use it at all and gladly uses radiation and chemo therapy, both of which force magnesium levels down further.

To not replete cellular magnesium levels would be negligent especially in the case of cancer where a person’s life is on the line. An oncologist who ignores his patient’s magnesium levels would be analogous to an emergency room physician not rushing resuscitation when a person stops breathing. If one elects to have or has already had chemotherapy they have four times the reason to pay attention to a concentrated protocol aimed at replenishing full magnesium cellular stores.

Magnesium chloride is the first and most important item in any person’s cancer treatment strategy. Put in the clearest terms possible, our suggestion from the first day on the Survival Medicine Cancer Protocol is to almost drown oneself in transdermally applied magnesium chloride. It should be the first not the last thing we think of when it comes to cancer. It takes about three to four months to drive up cellular magnesium levels to where they should be when treated intensely transdermally but within days patients will commonly experience its life saving medical/healing effects. For many people whose bodies are starving for magnesium the experience is not too much different than for a person coming out of a desert desperate for water. It is that basic to life, that important, that necessary.

That same power found in magnesium that will save your life in the emergency room during cardiac arrest, that will diminish damage of a stroke if administered in a timely fashion is the same power that can save one’s life if one has cancer. All a patient has to do is pour it into their baths or spray it right onto their bodies. What could be simpler?

Magnesium chloride, when applied directly
to the skin, is transdermally absorbed and has an
almost immediate effect on chronic and acute pain.

Special Note on Calcium and Cancer:

Experts say excessive calcium intake may be unwise in light of recent studies showing that high amounts of the mineral may increase risk of prostate cancer. “There is reasonable evidence to suggest that calcium may play an important role in the development of prostate cancer,” says Dr. Carmen Rodriguez, senior epidemiologist in the epidemiology and surveillance research department of the American Cancer Society (ACS). Rodriguez says that a 1998 Harvard School of Public Health study of 47,781 men found those consuming between 1,500 and 1,999 mg of calcium per day had about double the risk of being diagnosed with metastatic (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body) prostate cancer as those getting 500 mg per day or less. And those taking in 2,000 mg or more had over four times the risk of developing metastatic prostate cancer as those taking in less than 500 mg.

Calcium and magnesium are opposites in their effects
on our body structure. As a general rule, the more
rigid and inflexible our body structure is, the
less calcium and the more magnesium we need.

Later in 1998, Harvard researchers published a study of dairy product intake among 526 men diagnosed with prostate cancer and 536 similar men not diagnosed with the disease. That study found a 50% increase in prostate cancer risk and a near doubling of risk of metastatic prostate cancer among men consuming high amounts of dairy products, likely due, say the researchers, to the high total amount of calcium in such a diet. The most recent Harvard study on the topic, published in October 2001, looked at dairy product intake among 20,885 men and found men consuming the most dairy products had about 32% higher risk of developing prostate cancer than those consuming the least.

The adverse effects of excessive calcium intake may include high blood calcium levels, kidney stone formation and kidney complications.[28] Elevated calcium levels are also associated with arthritic/joint and vascular degeneration, calcification of soft tissue, hypertension and stroke, and increase in VLDL triglycerides, gastrointestinal disturbances, mood and depressive disorders, chronic fatigue, and general mineral imbalances including magnesium, zinc, iron and phosphorus.  High calcium levels interfere with Vitamin D and subsequently inhibit the vitamin’s cancer protective effect unless extra amounts of Vitamin D are supplemented.[29]

Magnesium is the mineral of rejuvenation and prevents
the calcification of our organs and tissues that is
characteristic of the old-age related degeneration of our body.

Recommendations of magnesium to calcium ratios range from 1:2 to 1:1. For those interested in preventing cancer one should look closely at the 1:1 camp and during the first six months of treatment one should be looking at ten parts magnesium to one part calcium. In reality one need not even count the ratio during the first months for the only real danger of extremely high magnesium levels comes with patients suffering from kidney failure. If one is at all concerned about their calcium intake one should eat foods high in both calcium and magnesium like toasted sesame seeds.

Up to 30% of the energy of cells is
used to pump calcium out of the cells.

Doctors who have used intravenous magnesium treatments know the benefits of peaking magnesium levels, even if only temporarily. For the cancer patient the transdermal approach combined with oral use offers the opportunity to take magnesium levels up strongly and quickly. For emergency situations three applications a day, for urgent two treatments would be indicated though one strong treatment with an ounce of a natural magnesium chloride solution spread all over the body like a sun screen is a powerful systemic treatment.

It is medical wisdom that tells us that magnesium is actually the key to the body’s proper assimilation and use of calcium, as well as other important nutrients. If we consume too much calcium, without sufficient magnesium, the excess calcium is not utilized correctly and may actually become toxic, causing painful conditions in the body. Hypocalcemia is a prominent manifestation of magnesium deficiency in humans (Rude et al., 1976). Even mild degrees of magnesium depletion significantly decreases the serum calcium concentration (Fatemi et al., 1991).

Calcium requirement for men and
women is lower than previously estimated.[30]

Sodium bicarbonate offers us an opportunity to quickly
change the pH of tissues and this offers a logical and safe
approach to cancer/kill off of fungus and yeast infections.

Despite the fact that allopathic medicine is poisoning and killing hundreds of thousands of people in the United States and millions of people around the world every year, deep within the heart of western medicine is a wisdom and power that is deliberately stymied by medical authorities and the pharmaceutical companies that stand behind them. Inside the emergency room and intensive care wards, where many believe some of the most accurate medicine is practiced, are common but extraordinarily safe and effective substances that save lives everyday. Interesting no one has thought to harness these medical super weapons against chronic disease or cancer.

What we have done to establish the nuclear core of our work is to go into the emergency room and take their best and safest medicines and apply their life saving qualities to cancer and other chronic diseases.  The same medicine that can save a life on demand instantly in an emergency situation, like cardiac arrest, can use to battle the diseases that have been baffling the entire western allopathic establishment for decades.

Winning the War Against Cancer entails trapping cancer tumors and general cellular pathologies in a lethal cross fire of concentrated nutritional substances. Spearheading the attack are three emergency room and intensive care medicines that project a potent killing field on cancer tumors.

What will come as a surprise to most allopathic physicians is that the healing agents we have selected are not pharmaceutical medicines but highly concentrated nutritional substances. We are talking specifically about magnesium chloride, iodine and sodium bicarbonate. These basic emergency room substances, along with ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) make up our core protocol which together, along with other minerals and vitamins like selenium, zinc and vitamin C, can beat back the ravaging power of cancer and even diabetes.

These substances offer a power unequalled in the world of medicine
that we can harness to cure cancer. As cancer rates surge upward
human survival is directly related to a safe and effective protocol for
cancer, diabetes as well as heart and a host of neurological diseases.

In the emergency room medicines have to be safe while delivering an instant life saving burst of healing power. Obviously if they are safe and strong enough for emergency situations they are going to help us with chronic diseases and acute ones as well. Thus what is presented here is truly astounding in terms of safety, low cost and proven effectiveness. This protocol offers a power unequalled in the world of medicine, which we can harness to cure cancer and other chronic diseases.

The answer has been sitting in front of allopathic medicine’s
nose all along, found in simple and inexpensive substances
used everyday to save peoples lives in emergencies.

We see cancer as a slow moving emergency situation and recommends that whatever one decides to do one must start treatments immediately with these basic emergency room medicines to begin a healing/stabilizing process. Luckily the basic protocol of intensive care medicines can be purchased over the counter but it is advised to find a competent health care practitioner to guide you through treatment.

Though a sea of options are available to address chronic diseases, just like in the emergency room we have to carefully choose what the logical first steps are when facing chronic diseases. There are certain protocols that are used when a life is only seconds away from ending. We know and understand that the patient is struggling with the basics of life and treatments are chosen to address immediate life threatening concerns.

Medical Priorities in Cancer Treatment

There are literally hundreds of cancer treatments shouting out to us from all points of the medical compass. We happen to live in a medical world where many people are calling attention to themselves and their products and preferred treatment approaches but there is no universal agreement as to what is most important, and then most important after that and so on. There is no sense of priority for everyone thinks their solution is the best one.

Emergency and intensive care professionals are highly trained to appreciate medical priorities. They know the first thing they need to do when a person stops breathing, there is no debate, no discussion. When we step away from emergency procedures allopathic medicine gets very confused about priorities and that’s why:

Despite the investment of hundreds of billions of
dollars in research, not even a single degenerative
disease has been cured in the past hundred years.
Dr. Alan Greenberg

A lack of priority in medicine and in life in general leads to self defeating confusion. Because of this confusion we have reached a situation where the existence of humanity as a whole is at stake with diminishing water and food supplies ganging up on us with concurrent climate changes. In daily life we are beginning to see the ever-increasing signs of change like floods, hurricanes, forest fires, rising sea-levels, melting glaciers, growing poverty and reduced agricultural output, all of which are going to prove to be a serious challenge to our existence.

We do have to see clearly an evolving list or pyramid of priorities. It is best to start with those things that are a free for most people. The sun, giver of vitamin D, is an essential beginning to cancer treatment. Clean air and pure water and organic food are also essential basics but already we are beginning to incurr some costs. For many moving to a clean environment is the only way to realize clean air though its not perfectly clean anywhere on earth with about 20 tons of mercury being put into the air daily on a global basis. Add some uranium oxide, that is expanding in the environment, and a huge and almost unconceivable tonnage of other chemicals and greenhouse gasses and we have a nightmare almost impossible to escape.

Four of the top five substances in our protocol (not counting these primordial basics) are minerals: magnesium, iodine, selenium and sodium bicarbonate. Our number three protocol substance is Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). Each of these potent anti-cancer substances can be combined to deliver the knock out blow to cancerous terrains and tissues. It’s an entirely new form of chemotherapy that revolutionizes the cancer treatment world. It’s a form of chemotherapy that treats the terrain and the germ. Meaning it finally unites and vindicates both Pasteur and Béchamp. The protocol you will find in this book simultaneously addresses many issues that promote and support a return to healthy physiology while getting very agg ressive against late stage infections. It treats the full condition of cancer, which gives us a fighting chance for a full and permanent cure.

We can live a long time without food, a couple of days without drinking, but life without breath is measured in minutes. Something so essential deserves our full attention but rarely gets it unless you are a yoga practitioner. Breath is the most important of all the bodily functions and without it we simply are dead. In reality we take O2 for granted and with it our breathing, which most of us do quite badly. And now we even have a huge federal government wanting to make oxygen’s twin into public enemy number one[1] and that is a sin.

Researchers found that an increase of 1.2 metabolic
units (oxygen consumption) was related to a decreased risk
of cancer death, especially in lung and gastrointestinal cancers.[2]

The makeup of the human body is largely composed of the element oxygen. Oxygen (O2) physiology takes us down to the foundation of life and it is there where we meet up with some other structural substances like water (H2O), carbon, bicarbonate and CO2 (Oxygen’s necessary twin gas), magnesium, sulfur and then a host of other important substances like iodine and selenium and all the basic amino acids and on and on. We need all the basic building blocks of life and even the absence of one vitamin can make us deadly sick. But we need carbon and oxygen every moment of everyday or we will die. We humans are kind of like blow torches or blazing rockets, the flame of our lives are fed second to second from the twin gases of O2 and CO2.

The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration
of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar.

Oxygen levels are sensitive to a myriad of influences. Toxicity, emotional stress, physical trauma, infections, reduction of atmospheric oxygen, nutritional status, lack of exercise and especially improper breathing will affect the oxygen levels in our bodies. Any element that threatens the oxygen carrying capacity of the human body will promote cancer growth. Likewise any therapy that improves the oxygen function can be expected to enhance the body’s defenses against cancer. In order for cancer to ‘establish’ a foothold in the body it has to be deprived of oxygen and become acidic. If these two conditions can be reversed cancer can, not only be slowed down, but it can actually be overturned.

Oxygen is the source of health. Oxygen is essential to
the human body, extending effects beyond breathing.

Dr. D. F. Treacher and Dr. R. M. Leach write, “Mammalian life and the bioenergetic processes that maintain cellular integrity depend on a continuous supply of oxygen to sustain aerobic metabolism. Reduced oxygen delivery and failure of cellular use of oxygen occur in various circumstances and if not recognized result in organ dysfunction and death. Prevention, early identification, and correction of tissue hypoxia are essential skills. An understanding of the key steps in oxygen transport within the body is essential to avoid tissue hypoxia. Although oxygen is the substrate that cells use in the greatest quantity and on which aerobic metabolism and cell integrity depend, the tissues have no storage system for oxygen. They rely on a continuous supply at a rate that precisely matches changing metabolic requirements. If this supply fails, even for a few minutes, tissue hypoxaemia may develop resulting in anaerobic metabolism and production of lactate.”[3]

Not enough oxygen to the brain is the main cause of
memory loss, inability to find the right words, getting
words mixed up and not being able to speak in sentences.

In the 1920s Dr Otto Warburg carried out a great deal of work on cancer’s basic mechanism and was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1932. Warburg’s work clearly demonstrated that cancer is, fundamentally, a relatively simple disease where cell oxygen levels fall to a level sufficiently low enough for the cell to change in nature. Without a dependable supply of oxygen, the cells in our bodies cannot function properly. Nutrients in our diets must have oxygen present to convert their potential energy into usable energy. In order for new cells to be formed, hundreds of amino acids must link together using oxygen as the source of their energy.

All normal body cells meet their energy needs
by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet
their energy needs in great part by fermentation.

Poor oxygenation comes from a buildup of carcinogens and other toxins within and around cells, which blocks and then damages the cellular oxygen respiration mechanism. As more acid wastes back up, and the body slowly stews in its poisonous wastes, a chronically over acidic body pH corrodes body tissue, slowly eating into the 60,000 miles of our veins and arteries like acid eating into marble. Clumping up of red blood cells slows down the bloodstream, and restricts flow of O2 into capillaries, which just adds to the worsening conditions. Even lack of the proper building blocks for cell walls, essential fatty acids and magnesium, restricts oxygen exchange.

Cancer needs anaerobic – airless – conditions to grow and spread. What orthodox oncologists don’t see clearly is that cancer is not only human cells, which have changed their nature, but infectious entities that are thriving under these low O2 conditions. Doctors need to consider both the altered cells and the infectious pathogens thriving off these cells as the combined enemy we call cancer.

In 1966, after his efforts had been ignored by the cancer industry for over thirty years, Warburg addressed a group of fellow Nobel Laureates, reiterating his views and concluded, “Nobody today can say that one does not know what cancer and its prime cause be. On the contrary, there is no disease whose prime cause is better known.” Dr Warburg’s work has never been refuted but it certainly has been avoided by orthodox oncology.

So its no surprise on the first day of August 2009 that we find published in the journal Cancer Today a ground-breaking study revealing that injecting oxygen into cancerous tumors significantly boosts the chances of recovery. Scientists at Oxford University found slightly increasing the supply strengthened blood vessels in cancer cells, making chemotherapy more effective. [4] Scientists had previously tried to starve tumors of oxygen, believing a more stable blood supply would only help the cancer spread.

In all serious disease states we find a concomitant low
oxygen state. Low oxygen in the body tissuesis a sure
indicator for disease. Hypoxia, or lack of oxygen in the
tissues, is the fundamental causefor all degenerative disease.
Dr. Stephen Levine
Molecular Biologist

Medical scientists are excited to have uncovered what they thought was a brand new approach to cancer treatment. Because they never paid Warburg any attention they thought that by increasing an oxygen supply to tumor cells they would help them grow. But actually by oxygenating the cell they found the opposite and were able to do a better job of killing them. They even found in patients with pancreatic cancer, which is notoriously difficult to treat, that the results were also positive.

A CO2 deficit caused by deep breathing
leads to oxygen starvation in the cells of
the body. This state is known as hypoxia.

The response of a tumor to chemotherapy or radiation is directly related to the level of tumor hypoxia (low O2) so these researchers from England got excited because they saw their radiation and chemo protocols effectiveness increase. More hypoxia corresponds with greater resistance to treatment as well as increased tendency to metastasize. It is all laid out in front of us now; there is a growing consensus about this universal constant of cancer. Cancer thrives in low oxygen high acid conditions so we are practicing good medicine (appropriate oncology) when we increase total tissue O2 levels.

A healthy cell breathes oxygen for energy.
A cancer cell shuns oxygen and ferments
sugar instead for its energy requirements.

Because of this difference between healthy
cells and cancer cells, Warburg argued, cancer
should be interpreted as a type of mitochondrial disease.[5]
Science Daily

Hypoxemia or what might be called “blocked oxidation,” is followed by fermentation of sugar in cells, which then leads to the primary condition upon which cancer, infectious and inflammatory processes feed. Viruses are “anaerobic” creatures which thrive in the absence of oxygen. Yeast, mold and fungus live in an anaerobic environment. Most strains of harmful bacteria (and cancer cells) are anaerobic and are not comfortable in the presence of higher oxygen levels so doctors will find cancer cells easier to kill when oxygen levels are increased. What they did not guess at is that O2 levels can be dramatically increased by the simple administration of sodium bicarbonate. Increasing Co2 levels through the use of sodium bicarbonate is good in cancer treatment because bicarbonate drives up CO2 levels in the blood, which increases oxygenation to the cells. This is discussed fully in the chapter on carbon dioxide.

There are many homeostatic adaptation responses that fight to maintain pH balance but the principle one is using high pH bodily fluids such as water as a solvent to neutralize acid residues. The second greatest resistance the body puts up against dropping pH is pulling bicarbonate from the pancreas and kidneys into the blood as an alkalizing agent. Bicarbonate ions are generated from carbon dioxide and diffuse into the plasma. Then there are other levels of protection but when they are all overwhelmed the end result is accumulated acid residues at the cellular level that drown out oxygen.

Sodium bicarbonate is safe when taken with appropriate caution[6] and knowledge, extremely inexpensive and effective when it comes to reducing cancer tissues. It’s an irresistible chemical, cyanide to cancer cells for it hits the cancer cells with a shock wave of alkalinity, which allows much more oxygen into the cancer cells than they can tolerate. Cancer cells do not survive well in the presence of higher levels of oxygen.

Oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini, the founder of the bicarbonate approach to cancer, believes that only several types of cancer can be approached through oral application of bicarbonate. He suggests expensive and hard to get (meaning hardly any physician will do them in any country) medical procedures (placement of catheters) and IVs to get the bicarbonate as close to the tumors as possible.

Dr. Simoncini never realized that when bicarbonate is taken orally the full body pH is shifted dramatically higher affecting all tissues including the brain and bones. He does not understand that oral administration is actually a superior method for all cancers because higher pH and oxygen levels can be maintained 24 hours a day constantly wearing down tumors and individual cancer cells wherever they might be. The different in costs between oral and transdermal dosing with bicarbonate and catheters and IVs is enormous with the oral weighing in at pennies a day. That alone can make the difference between life and death for millions of people who could not get and cannot afford expensive treatments. I recommend people contemplating doing the oral method to also use bicarbonate heavily transdermally and to read my book Sodium Bicarbonate – Rich Man’s Poor Man’s Cancer Treatment because one needs to really understand what they are doing.

Just as there are many ways to skin a cat there are many important ways to approach cancer and the task of increasing O2 to all the bodies’ tissues. Other doctors have concentrated on hydrogen peroxide, ozone and hyperbaric oxygen chambers. In following sections we address exercise, proper breathing (which is very important) and magnesium supplementation, which are basic elementary approaches available, affordable and legal for all.

[1] The element carbon is perhaps the single most important element to life. Virtually every part of our bodies is made with large amounts of this element. The carbon atom is ideal to build big biological molecules. The carbon atom can be thought of as a basic building block. These building blocks can be attached to each other to form long chains, or they can be attached to other elements. This can be difficult to imagine at first, but it may help to think about building with Legos. You can think of carbon as a bunch of red legos attached together to form one long chain of legos. Now, you can imagine sticking yellow, blue and green legos across the tops of the red (carbon) legos. These other colors represent other elements like oxygen, nitrogen or hydrogen. As you stick more and more of these yellow, blue and green legos to the red chain, it would start to look like a skeleton of legos with a “spine” of red legos and “bones” of yellow, blue and green legos. This is a lot like the way that big molecules are made in the body. Without carbon, these big molecules could not be built. Now, virtually every part of your body is made up of these big molecules that are based around chains of carbon atoms. This is the reason we are known as “carbon based life forms”. Without carbon, our bodies would just be a big pile of loose atoms with no way to be built into a person.

[5] Recent research from Boston College and the Washington School of Medicine is reigniting interest in Warburg’s work.  (“Nearly a Century Later, New Findings Support Warburg Theory of Cancer”, Science Daily, January 14, 2009)  Specifically, they examined mitochondrial lipids in a diverse group of mouse brain tumors and found a significant difference in a complex lipid known as cardiolipin.

[6] Even something as safe as sodium bicarbonate has to be used with caution. Case in point: A 68-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department with a severe metabolic alkalosis after ingesting large quantities of baking soda to treat his dyspepsia. His underlying pulmonary disease and a progressively worsening mental status necessitated intubation for respiratory failure. Laboratory studies revealed a hyponatremic, hypochloremic, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis. The patient was successfully treated after cessation of the oral bicarbonate, initiation of intravenous hydration, and correction of electrolyte abnormalities. Sodium bicarbonate is an extremely well-known agent that historically has been used for a variety of medical conditions. Despite the widespread use of oral bicarbonate, little documented toxicity has occurred, and the emergency medicine literature contains no reports of toxicity caused by the ingestion of baking soda. Risks of acute and chronic oral bicarbonate ingestion include metabolic alkalosis, hypernatremia, hypertension, gastric rupture, hyporeninemia, hypokalemia, hypochloremia, intravascular volume depletion, and urinary alkalinization. Abrupt cessation of chronic excessive bicarbonate ingestion may result in hyperkalemia, hypoaldosteronism, volume contraction, and disruption of calcium and phosphorus metabolism. The case of a patient with three hospital admissions in 4 months, all the result of excessive oral intake of bicarbonate for symptomatic relief of dyspepsia is reported. Evaluation and treatment of patients with acute bicarbonate ingestion is discussed.

Dr. Rashid Buttar testified before congress that “the association of mercury to chronic diseases is well documented in the didactic scientific literature. The search for the association between mercury and cardiovascular disease reveals 358 scientific papers exemplifying the relationship; between mercury and cancer we find 643 scientific papers. The association of mercury with neurodegenerative diseases is the most significant, with the references numbering 1,445.” The official position currently is that there is “some” evidence that methylmercury can cause cancer in humans.  The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified methylmercury as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”.

Lead and aluminum are other common heavy metals that have been shown to dramatically increase the toxicity of mercury. Interestingly, lead is the final end product of the step by step radioactive decay of uranium, no wonder it’s so toxic. Medical researchers are still trying to understand the numerous processes by which various heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, etc.) contribute to carcinogenesis but everywhere in officialdom we find ridiculous doubts about their effects especially when it comes to mercury and its high state of toxicity.

It has been shown that mercury rapidly depletes the immune system. Mercury has also been shown to induce auto-immune diseases. Anything that depletes and disturbs the immune system will increase one’s chances of contracting cancer. Mercury binds with hemoglobin, which is responsible for oxygen transport to the tissues. This results in less oxygen reaching the tissues when the body is polluted with mercury. We don’t have to look far in understanding how a heavy metal like mercury can eventually lead one to cancer’s door.

“There is no safe level of mercury, and no one has actually shown that there is a safe level,” said Dr. Lars Friberg, Chief Adviser to the WHO on mercury safety. Survival Medicine for the 21st Century (2,200 page compendium) has a two hundred page section called The Rising Tide of Mercury because mercury toxicity needs to be factored into all notions of health and disease today. According to the observations made by the internationally recognized medical researcher, Yoshiaki Omura, MD, all cancer cells have mercury in them.

Dr. Hans Nolte wrote, “The wave spectrum of mercury contains more than thirteen wavelengths, whereas only one or two frequencies or wavelengths are usually observed for the other heavy or noble metals.”[1] It is Dr. Nolte’s belief that the many harmful effects of mercury could be explained to some degree on the basis of this great variety of wavelengths. Dr. Omura’s clinical observation concludes that one of the primary reasons cancer returns is because residual mercury reignites a pathological environment even after surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and alternative therapies report a positive effect.

Heavy metals clog up receptor sites, break and bend sulfur bonds in
important enzymes like insulin, damage the DNA and in general
muck up everything and anything to do with healthy biological life.

There is a growing body of scientific research that suggests heavy metals contribute to carcinogenesis by inducing/increasing oxidative stress.[2] Oxidative stress damages DNA and can lead to mutations which promote cancer.[3],[4],[5] Heavy metals also disrupt the process of Apoptosis (programmed cell death).[6] Apoptosis is vital for safe removal of sick/unhealthy cells, including cells that may become cancerous.

Heavy metals create contaminated environments both inside and outside the cells. These environments attract all kinds of pathogens – viruses, bacteria and fungi. Some say many cancers are caused by infections others say cancer is an infection and others will insist until they reach their graves that cancer is strictly human cells running amuck with their DNA gone crazy. That many doctors believe this it does not make it true.

Our definition of cancer is a little more broad minded than blaming malfunctioning human DNA as the sole cause of cancer. Cancer is a prime example of how heavy metal toxicity, free radical damage, pathogen infection, mineral and vitamin deficiencies, inflammation, mitochondria dysfunction, immune system depression, genetic mutation, cell wall damage and oxidative stress all come together into an end stage life threatening condition. Cancer treatment can be approached in many ways but the best way would be to address all these problems simultaneously.

Cancer and Mercury Laden Dental Amalgam

Most of our cancer patients have
a lot of amalgam dental fillings.
Professor W Kostler

Mercury vapors in the mouth which spreads mercury to all points in the body, increased use of antibiotics, periodontal disease, inappropriate oral care, yeast and fungal overgrowth, and decreasing immune strength are all colliding and reinforcing each other in a downward spiral that leads to chronic diseases and cancer. Each year in the U.S. an estimated 40 tons of mercury are used to prepare mercury-amalgam dental restorations. Scientific studies have concluded that the amalgam is the source for more than two thirds of the mercury in our human population. On a daily basis each amalgam releases on the order of 10 micrograms of mercury into the body. This mercury either accumulates in the body or is excreted via urine and feces into our wastewater systems.

Mercury from amalgam fillings has been shown to be neurotoxic,
embryotoxic, mutagenic, teratogenic, immunotoxic and clastogenic.
It is capable of causing immune dysfunction and auto-immune diseases.
Dr. Robert Gammal

Dentists and their parent dental associations are loath to inform patients that the mercury they place in the mouth is a deadly poison that negatively influences not only their oral environments but total body physiology as well. This is a shame that the majority of dentists will take to their grave. “Mercury is one of the most potent chemical inhibitors of thiol-sensitive enzymes and mercury vapour easily penetrates into the central nervous system,” writes Dr. Boyd Haley who goes on to say, “Amalgams leak mercury, this is a fact that any chemistry department can confirm. We have made amalgam fillings outside of the mouth, placed these fillings in sterile water for 15 minutes to several hours. We then tested this water for toxicity to tubulin and creatine kinase. The result was that the solutions in which amalgams were soaked (even for fifteen minutes) were extremely toxic. This work is supported by reports doing similar experiments at the University of Michigan Dental School where they described solutions in which amalgams were soaked as being ‘extremely cytotoxic.’

It is estimated that an amalgam filling will release up to half of
its mercury content over a ten year period (50% corrosion rate).
Dr. Robert Gammal

Dr. Hal A. Huggins stated that amalgam fillings can devastate human health. The most common form of exposure to mercury is by inhalation of vapor and there is widespread general agreement that this leads to a slowly developing and insidious poisoning, which at first yields psychic and other general effects that are vague and difficult to diagnose. Yet dentists have continued to expose children to the toxic effects of mercury.

Periodontitis, Mercury and Candida

According to an article recently published in the Archives of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, chronic periodontitis is associated with an increased risk of developing cancer of the tongue among men. Researchers at the University at Buffalo and Roswell Park Cancer Institute have found the same thing. Another recent study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute linked periodontal disease to pancreatic cancer as well. “Our study provides the first strong evidence that periodontal disease may increase the risk of pancreatic cancer,” said Dr Dominique Michaud of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, who led the research. Men with a history of periodontal disease had a 64 per cent increased risk of pancreatic cancer than men with no such history.

And increased severity of periodontitis, for example with recent tooth loss, had the greatest risk. People with periodontal disease have an increased level of inflammatory markers such as C reactive protein (CRP) in their blood. These markers are part of an early immune system response to persistent inflammation and have been linked to the development of pancreatic cancer. It is the high levels of carcinogenic compounds (especially mercury) that are present in the mouths of people with periodontal disease that increases risk of pancreatic cancer.

Mercury is invisible in vapor form. The FDA says it’s everywhere. People with mercury fillings suffer VAPORS FROM HELL in their mouths, fumes from their mercury dental fillings that rise up from their teeth 24/7 with more powerful bursts when chewing or drinking hot fluids. Mercury vapors play havoc on the body through a host of means the least of which is to feed the bacteria, fungi and yeasts that thrive on mercury. Mercury will promote the growth of Candida, though as it adsorbs the mercury it thereby protects the system to a certain extent from its toxicity until they are saturated then they begin to re-release the mercury in organic form.

The list of organisms that have the highest affinity for toxic metals
reads like a “who’s who” of our typical human infectious diseases:
fungi of the Candida species, streptococci, staphylococci, amoebas, etc.
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt

Candida (yeast) overgrowth, which is very difficult to get rid of, is also associated with mercury in the mouth. Dr. Tullio Simoncini insists cancer is intimately linked to Candida overgrowth and that life threatening tumors are actually fungi colonies sucking up all available nutrients. The general line of thought though is the body produces yeast as a defense against excess metals. The yeast cell binds and absorbs its own weight in mercury and prevents it from entering the blood stream. Dr. J. Trowbridge has written in his book “The Yeast Syndrome,” that some doctors specializing in Candida treatment have reported to him that they have discovered clinically that 98% of their patients with chronic Candida also had mercury toxicity.

When we look at the fungal and yeast infections that are an integral aspect of cancer we should begin to understand the desperate need to include chelation of mercury in each and every cancer treatment. Mercury fed Candida become more and more virulent and eventually penetrates and roots into the intestinal walls and invades the cells. These fungal microorganisms become quite at home in the cell, and can easily be considered a principle characteristic of cancer. Sodium bicarbonate, which is proving to be effective against cancer, is lethal to yeasts and fungi growths because it increases the flow of Oxygen to all cells including the cancer cells that thrive on Oxygen’s absence.

Bone Cancer

Some 65% to 75% of advanced breast and prostate cancer patients eventually suffer bone metastases so there is an immense need for a medicinal that will reach into the bones. The resulting swelling and fractures can cause excruciating pain and may require radiation, chemotherapy, or amputation. To ease the agony and strengthen the bones, doctors prescribed $1.4 billion worth of a bone-boosting drug called Zometa, from Novartis in 2008. The only treatment that will reach down to the bones is sodium bicarbonate. Intravenous application is ineffective but one can throw oneself into bathtubs full of several pounds of baking soda and magnesium salts and take the bicarbonate also orally to radically change the pH in all the tissues including the bones. Sodium bicarbonate increases CO2 levels which also will have the effect of increasing Oxygen to the tissues.

Antibiotics as a Cause of Cancer?

When we consider mercury as one of the basic causes of cancer we can begin to review our estimates on iatrogenic death and disease. Mercury weakens the immune system and leaves people vulnerable to acute infection. Mercury is often at the heart of periodontitis and many other diseases yet the vast majority of dentists, the American Dental Association and the FDA are still in denial. It is bad enough that they plant the mercury in the mouth but then they add insult and injury by prescribing, as they do, antibiotics that make the entire situation worse with the yeasts and fungus. Fungal overgrowth occurs because its natural competitors have been removed, which easily becomes the case with antibiotic usage.

Iatrogenic dentistry is a new concept that has yet to be explored but already a great part of the civilized world understands the incredible stupidity and cruelty of fluoridated water, toothpaste and fluoride treatments at the dental clinic and the continued widespread use of mercury containing dental amalgam. Harvard University Medical Center is just one of many universities that recognize fluoride as a cause of cancer. If one wants to study the basic elements of terrorism one need look no further than the people and organizations that support the fluoridation of public water supplies and those who insist on putting mercury in peoples’ and children’s mouths. It is very difficult to accept the devastating reality about what dentists have done to humanity.

It’s impossible for the government to be honest about mercury pollution because they themselves sponsor injecting mercury directly into the blood stream with their flu vaccines and the government still supports its use in dentistry no matter how dangerous it is. Doctors and dentists have a hard time coming clean about their public betrayal. “I don’t feel comfortable using a substance designated by the Environmental Protection Agency to be a waste disposal hazard. I can’t throw it in the trash, bury it in the ground, or put it in a landfill, but they say it is OK to put it in people’s mouths. That doesn’t make sense.”—Richard. Fischer, D.D.S

Mercury Rising

A primary route for the toxicity of mercury, cadmium and nickel
is depletion of glutathione and bonding to sulfhydryl groups
of proteins. Arsenic (As) is thought to bind directly to critical thiols.

It is through mercury’s attack on these sulfide bonds (SH) that mercury is able to transform the biological properties of proteins and change important physiological functions. Mercury is attracted to ‘active sites’ on genetic code molecules called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The inter-relationships between cancer and mercury deserve much more attention as mercury is bioaccumulating in the environment becoming more prevalent globally.

“Thiol poisons, especially mercury and its compounds, reacting with SH groups of proteins lead to the lowered activity of various enzymes containing sulfhydryl groups. This produces a series of disruptions in the functional activity of many organs and tissues of the organism,” writes Professor I.M. Trakhtenberg from Russia.

“Mercury is like the 200 pound bully attacking a 7 pound baby; the small baby doesn’t have much of a chance. 200 and 7 are the molecular weights of mercury (the bully) and lithium (the baby) respectively,” says Dr. Thomas Nissen. Mercury is the most toxic non radioactive element but it does share toxic properties of uranium and thus lead.

Every physician knows that radiation can lead to cancer. What they don’t know is how heavy metals and radiation share similar toxic pathways on a chemical level. For example, “Depleted (DU) uranium is highly toxic to humans, both chemically as a heavy metal and radiological as an alpha particle emitter, is very dangerous when taken internally,” writes Dr. Rosalie Bertell, Canadian Epidemiologist.[7] A new study, conducted by biochemist Dr. Diane Stearns at Northern Arizona University confirms that, separate from any radiation risks, cells exposed to uranium will bond with the metal chemically.[8] Uranium and phosphate have a strong chemical affinity for each other and the DNA and Mitochondria are loaded with phosphate so uranium is a DNA and Mitochondria deep penetration bomb. The uranium is attacking on fundamental cellular levels while mercury offers a knock out punch by attacking the sulfur bonds besides being highly toxic to nerve cells.

Both mercury and uranium oxide are floating in the
environment like invisible clouds that have spread out everywhere.
They are raining down on us, damaging and damning our future.

Simultaneous exposure to mercury and uranium shows markedly increased damage to the kidneys than when exposure is to each metal singly. Insulin has three sulfur-containing cross-linkages and the insulin receptor has a tyrosine kinase-containing sulfur bond, which are the preferred targets for binding by both mercury and lead. Should mercury attach to one of these three sulfur bonds it will interfere with the normal biological function of the insulin molecule. Nephrotoxicity of the kidneys with necrosis of proximal tubules has been seen to increase significantly with dual exposure to both uranium and mercury.[9] In February, 2007 The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) reported that the number of new cases of kidney failure jumped 114 per cent. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem.[10]

At Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, researcher Don York has used baking soda to clean soil contaminated with uranium. Sodium bicarbonate binds with uranium, separating it from the dirt; so far, York has removed as much as 92 percent of the uranium from contaminated soil samples.

Dr. Paul R. Epstein of Harvard Medical School released a report about the severe health impacts of coal on Kentuckians. Because of Kentucky’s 22 coal-burning power plants, every mile of Kentucky waterways flow with unsafe levels of mercury, the leading cause of birth defects in this country. The risk of death for people living within 30 miles of a power plant is three to four times greater than for those living further away. In Kentucky, 811,993 children live within that 30-mile radius. Of the chemicals known to be used while processing coal, 19 are cancer-causing and 24 are linked to lung and heart disease.

The University of Michigan Cancer Center has proclaimed that current chemotherapy targets the “wrong” cells. The Ann Arbor researchers discovered that not all cells in a tumor are equally malignant. Only a tiny minority of tumor cells are actually capable of inducing new cancers; the rest are relatively harmless. “These tumor-inducing cells have many of the properties of stem cells,” said Michael F. Clarke, MD, a professor of internal medicine, who directed the study. “They make copies of themselves–a process called self-renewal–and produce all the other kinds of cells in the original tumor.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, cancer refers to any one of a large number of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissue. This is a fact that does not depend on the various theories. The theorizing begins when we run down the usual path thinking that cancer begins with damage (mutations) in our DNA. Our DNA is like a set of instructions for our cells, telling them how to grow and divide. Normal cells often develop mutations in their DNA, but they have the ability to repair most of these mutations. Or, if they can’t make the repairs, the cells frequently die. However, certain mutations aren’t repaired, causing the cells to grow and become cancerous…or so the story goes. Looking at the above definition we would be perfectly correct to say that yeasts and fungi  are, in human terms, abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissue.

Both cancer cells and fungi can metabolize nutrients in the absence of oxygen (anaerobically) and both must have sugar in order to survive. Both can be impacted by antifungal medicines.[1] Both will die in the absence of sugar.[2]“Mycotoxins have proven to be very toxic and harmful, and it is no wonder that many inhabitants of mold-infested spaces are constantly ill, mainly with upper respiratory tract infections, lethargy, constant headaches, nausea, and a general ill feeling. Inhabiting these living spaces for a considerable period may lead to cancer.”[3]

Cancer is defined as malignant tumors of disorderly cells that have the potential of nearly unlimited growth. These uncontrolled cells expand locally and/or metastasize (spread destructively) to other tissues and organs. Clearly this can define a yeast or fungus colony as well as normal cells losing control of their own reproductive growth. One thing we do know about the genetic theory of human cancer cells is that it is impossible to treat. The war on cancer was lost because medical scientists were fighting the wrong enemy. They were battling against their assumptions that are in the end turning into conceptual phantoms. Doctors are assuming incorrectly yet are in denial that they could be so wrong, so blind, so pigheaded when looking at other probabilities.

The idea that a proposed cancer germ could have more than
one form is a threat to doctors and some microbiologists.
Indeed the cancer germ has been described as having a
virus like and fungus-like, as well as mycoplasma-like phase.

Two basic theories of cancer have existed up to now:  (1) the viral theory and, (2) the trophoblast theory. There is a recognition that cancer cells share some properties with placental cells found in pregnancy. The classic experiments of Warburg on the respiratory pattern of cancers of various species and tissue origins reveal a high uniformity from tumor to tumor. Yet what these cells actually are is in doubt.

The trophoblast theorists claim when you look at internal cell morphology, all cancer cells are exactly the same as trophoblast cells.  Outwardly, cancer cells appear different because the trophoblast cell is reacting to different parts of the body in which it finds itself.  90% of a tumor, for example, is comprised of benign somatic cells that are responding to the 10% carcinogenic action of the trophoblast cells. Yes, this sounds like one is talking about yeasts and fungi invaders.

Normal, healthy cells in our body grow in a very orderly and well-controlled way, living for a set period of time and then dying on schedule. When a normal cell dies, our body replaces it with another normal cell. Cancer cells grow in an uncontrolled manner. One malignant cell becomes two, two become four, four become eight, and so on, until a mass of cells (a tumor) is created. Tumors remain small until they’re able to attract their own blood supply, which allows them to obtain the oxygen and nutrients they need to grow larger. But again this does not in the least suggest what these cancer cells actually are – human cells on the rampage, or yeast and fungi staking out their ever increasing territory?

The image of the normal colon tissue, at left, shows well-formed oval-shaped glands, evenly lined with a single, organized layer of cells indicated by arrows. The image of the cancerous colon tissue, in contrast, shows highly disorganized cancer cells stacked upon each other in an apparently random fashion, exactly what we would expect from fungi invaders as well as human cells running amok.

The predominant viral theory says that outside agents invade your body, or that somatic (good) cells mutate into cancer cells, and that there exists an infinite number of different cancers. The trophoblast theory of cancer was postulated over a hundred years ago by Scottish embryologist John Beard, a professor at the University of Edinburgh.  He and subsequent researchers say that, morphologically, there is only one type of cancer cell, the trophoblast cell.  The trophoblast cell has a natural body function:  it arises from the meiosis (cell division) of a woman’s diploid totipotent cells after fertilization.

It really matters how we conceptualize cancer and the process that leads to its proliferation in the body. The theory that malignant cancers are false-placentas (trophoblast theory) was first formulated by Beard in 1902 when he observed that placenta cells resemble cancer cells. He also noted how malignant cancers act in the same way that placenta cells act in the mother’s womb; they attach to the uterus and “eat” through it to obtain a blood supply. Beard also found other out-of-place trophoblast cells in great numbers throughout the body. These cells are placenta-like and do not differentiate into specific tissue, but lie dormant. Beard called these cells “germ” cells. They have properties similar to stem cells, and Beard believed that these cells are the seeds of cancer. Notice again how Beard and almost all medical scientists since assume these cells are human cells that seem to be  like plecenta type cells but none of this proves anything about what the cells actually are.

I remain stunned at the hesitancy of American physicians to try
harmless antifungal approaches for anything but vaginal yeast.

Not a week goes by that we don’t find yet another medical or societal reference to fungi causing human misery. In September 1999, Johns Hopkins medical researchers confirmed that virtually all chronic sinus infections were due to fungus. Fungus makes poisonous byproducts called mycotoxins. Antibiotics are one class of mycotoxins. The fact that mycotoxins can cause cancer is not up for grabs. Even the American Cancer Society admit: “Mycotoxins are genotoxic carcinogens, and exposure begins in utero and in mother’s milk, continuing throughout life; these conditions favor the occurrence of disease.” (Murphy, et al. American Cancer Society Textbook of Clinical Oncology, 2nd ed. 1995)

Dr. MJ Dvmanov, a professor of medical mycology says, “A disease caused by a fungal mold is called a mycosis. Often a fungal infection, a mycosis, abscess or a fibroid immune response to the presence of fungal mold is called a cancer. Two of my recent studies involved a 26 year old female with a large mold growth in her left lung that required surgical removal and a 65 year old male with a brain “cancer” that was later diagnosed as being 2 different fungal mold growths. Mold produces many toxins and exposure to some molds result in a cancer or unnatural cell growth both hyperplasia and metaplasia. I have investigated cases where initial diagnosis was cancer and later from biopsy and culture identified as a mold growth. Far more deaths are caused by a fungal mold than anyone would believe. Dr. Leyland H. Hartwell’s Noble Prize in Medicine Lecture in 2001 introduced the fact that in culture cancer cells just like fungal mold, often described by histopathologists as undifferentiated carcinomas, are immortal just like fungal mold in that they continue to grow even outside the body, when normal human cells do not. If cancer cells are not human cells, then what are they, fungal mold?”

In looking at live blood, you can clearly “see” that there are forms that
look like bacteria, micro-organisms and parasites that not only are in
the blood, but that over time can grow and can change their shapes.

Fungi will also live almost anywhere. They have been found growing in the
harshest of environments, in the desert and polar regions, in the sea and on rocks.

Candida albicans will shift from yeast form to mycelial fungal
form and start to invade the body. In the yeast state, Candida is a
non-invasive, sugar-fermenting organism, while in fungal state it is
invasive and can produce rhizoids, very long root-like structures.

Fungi are serious enemies. “When the nutritional conditions are precarious, many fungi react with hyphal fusion (among nearby fungi) which allows them to explore the available material more easily, using more complete physiological processes. Fungi are capable of implementing an infinite number of modifications to their own metabolism in order to overcome the defense mechanism of the host,” says Simoncini.

When fungi are fed the food they love they become more virulent. Their ability to penetrate and root into the intestinal walls, for example and invade the cells is increased. They not only attach themselves to human tissues but can actually invade the cells where they become quite at home. Thus they are not secondary but primary infections that have been helped along with runaway antibiotic usage, dental amalgam, flu vaccines laden with mercury, mineral deficiencies and by terrible modern diets infected with molds and yeasts as well as many potent poisons.

Radiation at extremely low levels is a health hazard that medicine is not dealing with because it uses dangerous levels of radiation in both its diagnosis and treatment of disease. Radiation hazards have been grossly underestimated because they have to be. If they were not then both the medical industry and the atomic power industry would be vulnerable to staggering liabilities. Radiation is an invisible terror that works insidiously in the background so it is easy to hide its place in the deterioration of the publics’ health. But slowly and steadily radiation hazards are destroying not only our health but that of our children and our children’s children and many more generations to come.

“Chernobyl” remains what it became 20 years ago,
the name of a horror that doesn’t show itself.
Serge Schmemann
NY Times

“The results of surveys and biological monitoring of children and adults of Chernobyl point unambiguously to a steady, rapid and dramatic deterioration of health of all victims of the radiation impact of the Chernobyl accident” wrote doctors E.B. Burlakova & A.G. Nazarov of the Emanuel Institute of Biochemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. Most interestingly they continue saying, “The dose dependence of the radiation effect may be non-linear, non-monotonic and polymodal in character. Over certain dose ranges, low-level irradiation is more devastating with regard to the results of its action on an organism or a population than acute high-level radiation.”

In July of 2005 the National Academy of Sciences came to the conclusion that the preponderance of scientific evidence shows that even very low doses of radiation pose a risk of cancer or other health problems and there is no threshold below which exposure can be viewed as harmless.[1] Many scientists generally assumed that low levels of radiation are harmless, since they produced no immediately observable effects.  However during the past few decades tremendously improved radiation measurement techniques coupled with detailed laboratory studies revealed many previously unsuspected hazards from low levels of ionized radiation. Some researchers have even added the view that chronic low level exposure to radiation poses a greater risk than short term high level exposure.[2]

Medically speaking oncologists use weapons of mass cellular destruction to treat cancer. They use tests and treatments that cause cancer to treat cancer. Until now their tools include surgically removing tumors, attacking them with chemotherapy drugs or blasting them with radiation. Today I am launching our new Winning Cancer site, which examines aspects of cancer and its treatment that contemporary oncology overlooks. There you will see that we define cancer as a profile of heavy metal toxicity, free radical damage, pathogen infection, mineral and vitamin deficiencies, inflammation, mitochondria dysfunction, immune system depression, genetic mutation, cell wall damage and oxidative stress all coming together in an end stage life threatening condition. Cancer treatment can be approached in many ways but the best way would be to address all these problems simultaneously.

The medical industrial complex is now offering their own new approach to treating cancer by directing the body’s natural defense mechanisms against the disease. This of course makes sense but using a vaccine is not exactly the best way of stimulating the immune system to do its normal job. Billed as a first-of-a-kind prostate cancer treatment that uses the body’s immune system to fight the disease, the vaccine received federal approval in April of 2010, offering an alternative to more taxing treatments like chemotherapy.

It’s called a “vaccine” even though it treats disease rather than prevents it. The shot trains the immune system to fight tumors. “The big news here is that this is the first immunotherapy to win approval, and I suspect within five to ten years immunotherapies will be a big part of cancer therapy in general,” said Dr. Phil Kantoff, an oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute who helped run the studies of Provenge.

Allopathic doctors have been trying to develop such a therapy for decades but we already have a host of natural agents that do exactly what Provenge is trying to do. If one wants to increase the strength and power of one’s immune system the last thing one wants to do is follow the pharmaceutical paradigm for it uses chemicals that increase the toxicity of the body while simultaneously driving down one’s nutritional status.

The basic protocol of Natural Allopathic Medicine to safely and effectively increase the function of the immune system is:

Magnesium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and iodine which represent a holy trinity for the medical world offering us unbeatable healing firepower to turn medical conditions around. Medicine does not get any stronger and that is why these substances are commonly used in emergency rooms and intensive care wards. Healthy sun exposure (D3), good water, selenium (because of the mercury toxicities association with cancer), Alpha Lipoic Acid, whole food Vitamin C, a good natural chelator and probiotic, super foods like spirulina (very high in everything but especially B vitamins, betacarotenes, amino acids, GLA) and wheatgrass juice, pure clays, natural/regular colonics, and assorted body and energy work all make perfectly good medical sense as does raw food or juice fasting if you are really serious and capable of making such life changing decisions. Even medical marijuana[1] or what is know as hemp oil belongs high on a cancer patient’s wish list for pain and stress release as well as another highly effective and safe primary angle of attack on cancer cells themselves.

Dendreon said the drug will cost $93,000 per patient. Company studies showed that taking Provenge added only four months to the lives of men with advanced prostate cancer. The above protocol, which does offer some hope for a permanent reversal of cancer, would cost about 2,000 dollars for six months of treatment.

Mainstream medicine likes to point out that people with cancer can lose their only chance of beating the disease by skipping conventional treatment or by mixing in other therapies. “Even harmless-sounding vitamins and “natural” supplements can interfere with cancer medicines or affect hormones that help cancer grow,” they like to say, deliberately casting shadows and planting seeds of doubt. But 60 percent of cancer patients try unconventional remedies and about 40 percent take vitamins or dietary supplements. The key is taking the right ones at the right dosages. One great point of error is that natural concentrated nutritional agents (which everything in the above list are) demand that we take the dosages up to very high levels, which is the opposite of allopathic medicine, which uses poisons at low dosages.

We are seeing a dramatic rise in propaganda aimed at
defending orthodox cancer treatments so that means everything
other than chemo, radiation and surgery will be hammered and
good medical practice and cancer treatments suffer from this.

Getting nutrients from pills (unless in tablet form from a food/medicine like spirulina) is different than getting them from a balanced diet but practitioners of nutritional and orthomolecular medicine know that it is impossible today to concentrate enough nutritional fire power from even the best foods alone. That’s why transdermal magnesium or bicarbonate can be so helpful for these approaches help us concentrate nutritional fire power. This limitation is true even with super foods like spirulina, which cannot hope to cover every base. Spirulina cannot provide concentrated dosages of vitamin C, ALA, magnesium, iodine or selenium though it is one of the highest magnesium content foods in existence. That aside, spirulina and other super foods can provide just about everything else. Fasting with spirulina and juices is a heavenly healing experience and is one medicine/food I never do without.

Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, a cancer specialist at the Weill-Cornell Medical Center in New York includes nutrition testing and counseling, meditation and relaxation techniques in his treatment. He says, “You do have people who will say ‘chemotherapy is just poison.’ Cancer takes decades to develop, so you’re not going to be able to think that all of a sudden you’re going to change your diet or do meditation (and cure it). You need to treat it medically. You can still do things to make your diet better. You can still do meditation to reduce your stress.” Gaynor disagrees that chemo is ‘just’ a poison and this is his idea of necessary medical treatment for cancer.

Dr. Gaynor is correct in saying you need to treat cancer medically in a very concentrated way but he is totally mistaken that using harsh chemical poisons is the way to go. Natural Allopathic Medicine steals the best that allopathic medicine has to offer but delivers the goods in safe natural forms. Sodium bicarbonate and magnesium chloride are two very strong allopathic medicines that cannot be assaulted by the medical press or anyone else because they save lives all the time.

These substances are concentrated nutritional medicinals and this makes many oncologists uncomfortable because they understand so little about nutrition preferring to poison people then get them well. I like to conceptualize my protocol as Natural Chemotherapy or as Natural Emergency Medicine because they offer the kind of firepower you want when dealing with life threatening diseases.

Special Note: Say No to Chemotherapy

New research suggests chemotherapy has devastating effects on the brain. Many cancer patients who receive chemotherapy report “chemobrain” — a range of symptoms including a loss of memory and the ability to concentrate, and other problems such as difficulty thinking. In the September 2009 Journal of Cancer Survivorship women described a variety of emotions, including fear, frustration and emotional exhaustion with some women fearing losing their independence because they wouldn’t be able to take care of themselves like before. At the workplace, the side effects of chemotherapy robbed their ability to focus. “These data underscore the very serious ways in which chemobrain can affect the life experiences of cancer survivors — emotionally, psychologically and economically,” the researchers concluded.
