Dr. Johanna Budwig

When I joined an alternative health group in Yahoo, I always see postings on flaxseed oil but I did not give so much attention until I learned about Dr. Budwig.  How could you ignore a Doctor who had an amazing profile to show. According to the information,   her success in curing cancer and  other various diseases including terminal cancer is over 90% using only flax seed oil and  low fat cottage cheeze. you can find her in many websites and blogs in the internet . The reading material below is from http://www.budwigvideos.com

Dr. Johanna Budwig, 1908-2003, was a German  chemist and physicist, a licensed pharmacist and health practitioner.At the beginning of her career she was a senior expert on fats and oils as well as  pharmaceuticals for the German Government.


She developed new and sensitive methods, the first of their kind, for identifying differences between saturated and unsaturated fats. She also was the first to determine and differentiate the essential fatty acids, linoleic [omega 6] and linolenic [omega 3].
 

Dr. Budwig researched the damaging effects of hydrogenated and other denatured fats upon human health and discovered the powerfully healing nature of cold-pressed, liquid flax seed oil  on various degenerative diseases, including cancer. She showed that the highly unsaturated flax seed oil contained electrons and essential fatty acids that can revitalize the cells,  heal the cell membrane and improve oxygen absorption.

She discovered and proved the adhesive capacity that sulfurated proteins in quark and cottage cheese have for highly unsaturated flax seed oil, allowing the oil to become water soluble and more easily absorbed and assimilated into the body’s cells. The flax seed oil blended with the sulphurated proteins also is active in the tiniest capillaries, which can become blocked by damaging fats.

In 1952, in a paper entitled "On Fat Biology V.  Paper Chromatography of Blood Lipoids, the Tumour Problem and Fat Research," Dr. Budwig wrote, "It is basically proven that highly unsaturated fatty acids are the heretofore undiscovered decisive factor in respiratory enzyme function, i.e. constitute the second part of the “equation” that nobelist Otto Warburg had been unable to find."  

Dr. Otto Warburg, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1931 for his research on cellular respiration, explained: “The growth of cancer cells is initiated by a relative lack of oxygen. Cancer cannot live in an oxygen-rich environment.” Warburg could not find a way to restore oxygen to  the cells.
In 1952, Dr. Budwig  developed her Oil-Protein-Diet which was able to revitalize the cells through  oxygenation as a result of highly unsaturated flaxseed oil combined with quark or cottage cheese along with a healthy vegetarian diet. Also included in her plan is sun therapy and reduction of damaging stress. This plan proved to be very successful in treating cancer as well as various other illnesses. Dr. Budwig worked with many terminal cancer patients. Her rate of success was over 90%.
 
At the same time, she gave lectures and authored a number of books in German; three of her books have been translated into English, FlaxOil As A True Aid Against Arthritis, Heart Infarction, Cancer, And Other DiseasesThe Oil Protein Diet Cookbook" andCancer - The Problem and The Solution [1999]

Dr. Budwig, a vegetarian, continued to work with patients in Germany from the 1950's through 2002, while in her 90's. She lectured and wrote her last book in 1999. She was healthy and mentally sharp. One letter from a patient who met with her in  October, 2000, commented on her energy and vitality, saying she looked and seemed much younger than her age.

In 2002, she fell and broke some bones which led to hospitalization and later a nursing home where she passed away in May, 2003. She left an amazing gift of knowledge for all who are fortunate enough to learn about it and embrace it.

Say No to Vaccines

My memory flies back in my early years in the elementary. Whenever news spread that local health officers are in the campus to conduct immunization, some would find their way to hide, some would start to cry, they thought it would be painful as injection. I remain calm and composed, I know its like being bitten by an ant and its good for me too...The moment I am vaccinated, the angel of diseases will just pass by without harming me, its like the angel of death not harming the Israelites since they painted their doors with animal blood as instructed by Moses.

My confidence with vaccination was reinforced when I read an article saying vaccination is a way to introduce a weakend or dead virus (and therefore harmless) to your immune system and for them to recognized the enemy's insigna so that when the real one attacks the body would easily recognize them as enemies and would readily fight and defeat them.

But according to Dr. Sherri Tenpenny in his book entitled Say No to vaccines,

1. Vaccines are toxic.
• Vaccines contain substances poisonous to humans (i.e. mercury, formaldehyde, aluminum, etc.) Vaccine package inserts contain this and other information required by law to be disclosed to the public. Although these inserts are produced for consumers, doctors do not make them available to their patients.
• Vaccines are grown on and contain foreign tissue and altered genetic material of both human and animal origin.
2. Immunization (the act of injecting vaccines) depresses and disables brain and immune function. Honest, unbiased scientific investigation has shown vaccinations to be a causative factor in many illnesses including:
• Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (aka SIDS, crib or cot death)
• developmental disorders (autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia, etc.)
• immune deficiency (i.e. AIDS, Epstein Barre Syndrome, etc.)
• degenerative disease (i.e. muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, cancer, leukemia, lupus, fibromyalgia, etc.)
3. The high rate of adverse vaccine reactions is being ignored and denied by conventional medicine.
• Prior to 1990, doctors were not legally required to report adverse reactions to the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
• Adverse reactions are considered "normal", are ignored or diagnosed as other diseases. Even with this poor system, reported damage is substantial.
• Despite their current legal obligation, less than 10% of doctors report the damage they witness to the CDC.
• Throughout history, many prominent medical and non-medical health professionals around the world have voiced their vehement opposition to vaccination calling it scientific fraud.
4. Mass Vaccination Programs systematically and recklessly endanger the public while disregarding our rights.
• Since vaccination breaks the skin, it is technically a surgery. All surgeries by law require informed consent. Informed consent is rarely attained before vaccines are administered.
• Doctors vaccinate the unwitting and uninformed. The vaccine manufacturers' package inserts which contain biased industry claims and the bare minimum required by law to reveal are not routinely made available to consumers so that they can make a more informed choice.
• Double-talk and unethical enforcement such as threats, intimidation and coercion are used to ensure vaccination compliance.
5. There is no proof that vaccinations are safe or effective.
• There are no control group studies. Authorities consider that "to not vaccinate" is unethical and have refused to study unvaccinated volunteers. If control studies were done according to honest science, vaccination would be outlawed.
• Studies which have been done are not designed to eliminate the examiners bias. Authorities who compile and report disease statistics work closely with and have a vested interest in companies which produce the vaccines. In other industries, this kind of bias is not tolerated. Injuries and deaths in these studies are attributed to anything but vaccination to skew the results and make it appear that vaccines have some merit.
6. Laws allow drug companies to violate the public trust.
• In private vaccine damage suits, information is revealed condemning vaccines as deadly.
• Vaccine manufacturers use "gag orders" as a leverage tool in vaccine damage legal settlements to restrict the plaintiff from disclosing to the public the truth about the dangerous nature of vaccines. Our government has allowed these unethical tactics to be used which jeopardize public welfare.
7. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1987 is a pacifier.
• This compensation program pretends to acknowledge the existence of vaccine damage by making "right" the wrongs done. Nothing in this Act attempts to avert these adverse events from happening in the future.
• This Act is the result of vaccine producers pressuring the government to "immunize" them from private lawsuits which can run an average of $4 million per case.
• The fund is made up of tax added into the cost to the consumer of each vaccine, thereby making vaccine consumers pay for one another's and perhaps their own injury; the vaccine manufacturers have made themselves quite "immune" from accountability. In recent years it has become even more difficult to be compensated through this program due to the parameters for determining vaccine damage changing and coroners now ruling out vaccine damage and charging the parents with Shaken Baby Syndrome.
8. Private insurance companies, which do the best liability studies, have totally abandoned coverage for damage to life and property due to:
• Acts of God
• Nuclear war and nuclear power plant accidents
• Vaccination
9. Vaccination is not emergency medicine.
• It is claimed that vaccines avert a possible future risk and yet people are pressured to decide on the spot. A doctor's use of fear and intimidation to force compliance is not ethical. Vaccines are drugs with potential serious adverse reactions. Time and forethought should be given before a decision is made.
10. There is no law enforcing vaccination for babies or anyone else.
• Vaccination is linked with school attendance but is not compulsory. Exemptions from vaccinations, although restricted and monitored, are part of every state public health law and can be expanded by public pressure.
• Departments of Health, Education and the American Medical Association personnel profit from the sale of vaccines. They keep the existence of and details about exemptions relatively unknown.
About the Book
Dr. Tenpenny provides an in-depth examination of the adverse reactions to vaccines. With incisive reasoning and over 8,000 hours of research over the course of eight years in preparation for writing this book, Saying No To Vaccines is an eye-opening educational guide which will give parents and adults the information they need to have confidence when they say no to vaccines. Citations taken directly from CDC documents and respected peer-reviewed journals are facts not easily refuted by conventional pro-vaccination dogma.
Most people are not aware that they should be asking the question - Should I vaccinate?
Since the first mandatory vaccination law was passed in the U.S. (1903), the belief in vaccination has been promoted by a pro-vaccine government, a pro-vaccine school system and a pro-vaccine western allopathic medicine industry.
The government:
• The U.S. government is the largest purchaser of vaccines in the country. In fact, nearly 30 percent of the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) annual budget is composed of purchasing vaccines and ensuring vaccination is completed for every child in the country.
• Laws have been passed to protect vaccine manufactures from liability while at the same time, state laws require parents to inject their children with up to 100 vaccination antigens prior to entering school. If a vaccine injury – or death – occurs after a vaccine, parents cannot sue the doctor, the drug company or the government; they are required to petition the Vaccine Court for damages, which can take years and is often denied.
The schools:
• Each state has school vaccination laws which require children of appropriate age to be vaccinated for several communicable diseases. State vaccination laws mandate that children be vaccinated prior to being allowed to attend public or private schools. Failure to vaccinate children can result in children being denied from attending school, civil fines and criminal penalties against their parents or guardians. What schools don’t tell parents is that in every state, an exemption exists allowing parents to legally refuse vaccines and allowing children to attend school.
The medical industry:
• The medical industry advocates vaccines, often demanding that parents vaccinate their children or be dismissed from the medical practice. A sizable portion of a pediatrician’s income is derived from insurance reimbursement for vaccinations. The ever-expanding vaccination schedule that includes increasingly more expensive vaccines has been a source of increased revenues for vaccinating doctors. Unfortunately, many doctors have not read the package insert for the vaccines which they so readily inject into their little patients. They are not aware of the full range of chemicals coming through that needle. As a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, brother, sister or legal guardian you have the right to know…and to choose.
Parents are busy. They don’t have time to spend hundreds of hours researching the medical literature about problems associated with vaccines. Saying No To Vaccinesdoes the work for you.

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny is respected as one of the country's most knowledgeable and outspoken physicians regarding the impact of vaccines on health. As a member of the prestigious National Speaker’s Association, Dr. Tenpenny is an outspoken advocate for free choice in healthcare, including the right to refuse vaccination. As an internationally known speaker, she is highly sought after for her ability to present scientifically sound information regarding vaccination hazard and warnings that are rarely portrayed by conventional medicine. Most importantly, she offers hope through her unique treatments offered at OsteoMed II for those who have been vaccine-injured.
Dr. Tenpenny is a graduate of the University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio. She received her medical training at Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri. Dr. Tenpenny is Board Certified in Emergency Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. Prior to her career in alternative medicine, Dr. Tenpenny served as Director of the Emergency Department at Blanchard Valley Regional Hospital Center in Findlay, Ohio, from 1987 to 1995. In 1994, she and a partner opened OsteoMed, a medical practice in Findlay limited to the specialty of osteopathic manipulative medicine. In 1996, Dr. Tenpenny moved to Strongsville, Ohio, and founded OsteoMed II, expanding her practice and her vision of combining the best of conventional and alternative medicine.

Unity in Diversity

Unity in Diversity in the field of Medical Sciences.

Unity in Diversity should not apply only on Culture, People, Ideology or religion it must also be applied in the world of medicine where various practices exist such as Allopathy, Osteopathy, Homeopathy, Chinese Medicine, Medical herbalism, Ayurvedic, etc… Since the advancement of science and technology, the world had shrunk, the world becomes like a community where neighbors lived closely with each other, sharing and celebrating each of their unique cultures and traditions. Tolerance; understanding; acceptance were encouraged while bigotry; prejudices; persecutions; arrogance is discouraged.

In the early 80’s I witnessed a team of medical doctors from Japan, Korea, Thailand and America working together despite coming from different medical backgrounds and expertise. Some are practicing western (Allopathy), some eastern (Chinese Medicine), Chiropractic, Reiki or energy healing.

As of today, the most popular practice is allopathic medicine but then, many people are looking for alternative medicines because they felt that it has limitations. Dr. Lipton Once said….Allopathy is still based on belief system emphasizing chemistry which leads to a healing modality that focuses upon the use of drugs…allopathic medicine. However, conventional medicine is no longer scientific in that it still emphasizes the Newtonian idea of a mechanistic world and does not recognize the role of the invisible moving forces that comprise the world of quantum mechanics.

It is necessary that biology incorporate an understanding of energetics and energy fields, because energy waves profoundly influence matter. A great quote by Albert Einstein states: “The field is the sole governing agency of the particle.” Einstein is saying that the invisible forces (the field) are responsible for shaping the material world (the particle). To understand the character of a person’s body or health, one must consider the role of the invisible energetic field as a primary influence. The problem is that conventional medicine has not really acknowledged that the field even exists, although the “influence of invisible moving forces” has been demonstrated in published scientific articles for over fifty years.

The conventional model of medicine based upon Newtonian physics has provided for miracles such as heart transplants and reconstructive surgeries. However, conventional allopathic medical sciences do not know how cells actually work and are still inappropriately emphasizing the role of genes in controlling our lives and health issues. Biomedicine is still steeped in a mechanistic, material universe. Medical science focuses its attention on the physical body and material world and have completely ignored the role quantum mechanics.

Once medicine starts to understand and acknowledge the influences of energy fields as important, influential determinants, they will then have a more realistic picture of how life works. Simply stated, conventional medicine alone is not truly scientific in that it does not invoke the Universe mechanisms recognized by quantum physics.

There are medical practitioners and scientist which give emphasis on Vitamins such as the late Dr. Fredrick Klenner, Dr. Matthias Rath M.D, Dr. Zoltan P. Rona M.D, M. Sc, Linus Pauling, a two time Nobel Prize Laureate, just to mention the few. They were able to successfully helped hundreds of people who suffered from various diseases.

The advancement of allophatic medicine is incredible with the inventions of sophisticated state of the art medical equipment but we can not discount other medical practices that have saved countless lives.

How to reverse Leaky Gut Syndrome Part 5

Band-aid treatments with corticosteroids, prescription antibiotics and immuno suppressive drugs may be temporarily life-saving for acute episodes of pain, bleeding or severe inflammation as occurs in lupus or colitis. In the long run, however, none of these treatments do anything to heal the leaky gut problem. To reverse the leaky gut syndrome the diet must be completely changed to one which is as hypoallergenic as possible. Sugar, white flour products, all gluten-containing grains (especially wheat, barley, oats and rye), milk and dairy products, high fat foods, caffeine products, alcohol and hidden food allergies determined by testing must all be eliminated for long periods of time (several years in the most severe cases).

Treatment might also include the use of natural antibiotics (echinacea, colloidal silver, garlic), antiparasitics (cloves, wormwood, black walnut) and antifungals (taheebo, caprylic acid, grapefruit seed extract) depending on the type of infection which shows up on objective tests. It is rare that victims require prescription drugs for these infections and they should be discouraged. The drugs are usually expensive, have unpleasant side effects and are best reserved for life-threatening conditions.

Leaky gut syndrome patients can help themselves by chewing their food more thoroughly, following the basic rules of food combining, eating frequent small meals rather than three large ones and taking more time with their meals. Gastrointestinal function can be improved with a juice fast or a hypoallergenic diet and supplements like lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus as well as FOS (fructooligosaccharides) derived from Jerusalem artichoke, chicory, the dahlia plant or burdock root.

The Leaky gut and IBS Part 4


The mainstream thinking on IBS is that it is caused by stress. Irritable bowel syndrome is the number one reason for general practitioner referrals to specialists. In well over 80% of the cases, tests like the intestinal permeability test (a special urine test involving the determination of absorption rates of two sugars called lactulose and mannitol), CDSA or livecell darkfield microscopy reveal the presence of an overgrowth of fungi, parasites or pathogenic bacteria. The one-celled parasite, blastocystis hominis and different species of candida are the most common microbes seen in IBS. The only stress associated with IBS is that which is generated by infection and the leaky gut syndrome. If allowed to persist without the correct treatment, IBS can progress into more serious disorders like the candidiasis syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue syndrome, many autoimmune diseases and even cancer. If treated medically, IBS is rarely cured. To treat it correctly, natural treatments work best and must include the removal of the cause, improvement of gastrointestinal function and healing the lining of the gut.

Causes of leaky Gut Syndrome Part 3

The leaky gut syndrome is basically caused by inflammation of the gut lining. This inflammation is usually brought about by the following:

· Antibiotics because they lead to the overgrowth of abnormal flora in the gastrointestinal tract (bacteria, parasites, candida, fungi) · Alcohol and caffeine (strong gut irritants)
· Foods and beverages contaminated by parasites like giardia lamblia, cryptosporidium, blastocystis hominis and others
· Foods and beverages contaminated by bacteria like helicobacter pylori, klebsiella,
· citrobacter, pseudomonas and others
· Chemicals in fermented and processed food (dyes, preservatives, peroxidized fats) · Enzyme deficiencies (e.g. celiac disease, lactase deficiency causing lactose intolerance)
· NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ASA, ibuprofen, indomethacin,
· Prescription corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone)
· High refined carbohydrate diet (e.g. candy bars, cookies, cake, soft drinks, white
· bread) Prescription hormones like the birth control pill Mold and fungal mycotoxins in stored grains, fruit and refined carbohydrates.

The leaky gut syndrome can cause the malabsorption of many important micronutrients. The inflammatory process causes swelling (edema) and the presence of many noxious chemicals all of which can block the absorption of vitamins and essential amino acids. A leaky gut does not absorb nutrients properly. Bloating, gas and cramps occur as do a long list of vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Eventually, systemic complaints like fatigue, headaches, memory loss, poor concentration or irritability develop.

Prescription broad spectrum antibiotics, especially when taken for extended periods of time, wipe out all the gut friendly bacteria that provide protection against fungi and amoebic (parasitic) infections, help the body break down complex foods and synthesize vitamins like B12 and biotin. Since this friendly bowel flora is killed off, the body now has no local defence against the parasites or fungi that are normally held in check. This then causes an inflammatory reaction leading to the leaky gut syndrome. Food allergies quickly develop and these may trigger the signs and symptoms of arthritis, eczema, migraines, asthma or other forms of immune dysfunction. Other common symptoms of this bowel flora imbalance and leaky gut syndrome are bloating and gas after meals and alternating constipation with diarrhea. This set of symptoms is usually labelled as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) or spastic bowel disease and treated symptomatically by general practitioners and gastroenterologists with antispasmodic drugs, tranquilizers or different types of soluble (psyllium) and insoluble (bran) fiber.

Leaky Gut Syndrome part 2

Dr Rona said, The leaky gut syndrome is almost always associated with autoimmune disease and reversing autoimmune disease depends on healing the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. Any other treatment is just symptom suppression. An autoimmune disease is defined as one in which the immune system makes antibodies against its own tissues. Diseases in this category include lupus, alopecia areata, rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, vitiligo, thyroiditis, vasculitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, urticaria (hives), diabetes and Raynaud's disease. Physicians are increasingly recognizing the importance of the gastrointestinal tract in the development of allergic or autoimmune disease. Understanding the leaky gut phenomenon not only helps us see why allergies and autoimmune diseases develop but also helps us with safe and effective therapies to bring the body back into balance.

Due to the enlarged spaces between the cells of the gut wall, larger than usual protein molecules are absorbed before they have a chance to be completely broken down as occurs when the intestinal lining is intact. The immune system starts making antibodies against these larger molecules because it recognizes them as foreign, invading substances. The immune system starts treating them as if they had to be destroyed. Antibodies are made against these proteins derived from previously harmless foods.

Human tissues have antigenic sites very similar to those on foods, bacteria, parasites, candida or fungi. The antibodies created by the leaky gut phenomenon against these antigens can get into various tissues and trigger an inflammatory reaction when the corresponding food is consumed or the microbe is encountered. Autoantibodies are thus created and inflammation becomes chronic. If this inflammation occurs in a joint, autoimmune arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis) develops. If it occurs in the brain, myalgic encephalomyelitis (a.k.a. chronic fatigue syndrome) may be the result. If it occurs in the blood vessels, vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels) is the resulting autoimmune problem.

If the antibodies end up attacking the lining of the gut itself, the result may be colitis or Crohn's disease. If it occurs in the lungs, asthma is triggered on a delayed basis every time the individual consumes the food which triggered the production of the antibodies in the first place. It is easy to see that practically any organ or body tissue can become affected by food allergies created by the leaky gut. Symptoms, especially those seen in conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, can be multiple and severely debilitating.

The inflammation that causes the leaky gut syndrome also damages the protective coating of antibodies of the IgA family normally present in a healthy gut. Since IgA helps us ward off infections, with leaky gut problems we become less resistant to viruses, bacteria, parasites and candida. These microbes are then able to invade the bloodstream and colonize almost any body tissue or organ. When this occurs in the gums, periodontal disease results. If it happens in the jaw, tooth extraction or root canals might be necessary to cure the infection.

In addition to the creation of food allergies by the leaky gut, the bloodstream is invaded by bacteria, fungi and parasites that, in the healthy state, would not penetrate the protective barrier of the gut. These microbes and their toxins, if present in large enough amounts, can overwhelm the liver's ability to detoxify. This results in symptoms such as confusion, memory loss, brain fog or facial swelling when the individual is exposed to a perfume or to cigarette smoke that he or she had no adverse reactions to prior to the development of the leaky gut syndrome.

Leaky gut syndrome also creates a long list of mineral deficiencies because the various carrier proteins present in the gastrointestinal tract that are needed to transport minerals from the intestine to the blood are damaged by the inflammation process. For example, magnesium deficiency (low red blood cell magnesium) is quite a common finding in conditions like fibromyalgia despite a high magnesium intake through the diet and supplementation. If the carrier protein for magnesium is damaged, magnesium deficiency develops as a result of malabsorption. Muscle pain and spasms can occur as a result. Similarly, zinc deficiency due to malabsorption can result in hair loss or baldness as occurs in alopecia areata. Copper deficiency can occur in an identical way leading to high blood cholesterol levels and osteoarthritis. Further, bone problems develop as a result of the malabsorption of calcium, boron, silicon and manganese.

Leaky Gut Syndrome

During Medication 2006





My son was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease called Juvinile rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA). Another name for this disease is Juvinile ideophatic Arthritis because the cause is unknown. We hop from one hospital to another hoping we could find a better doctor. My son had suffered for 2 years undergoing treatment in 7 hospitals and clinics in the Philippines, Japan and Korea, from Allopathic medicine, to a spiritualist, to eastern (Chinese) to homeopathy. We went through hell in those times, My heart sunk when I fetch my son in the airport after spending 4 months in japanese hospital. He looked very different that I almost could not recognize him. he gained so much weight (45 kilos at the age of 6) from taking steroids to suppress fever. While in Korea, we were told that the cause of his problem is his stomach, that his gut is where the problem of high fever and joint pain is coming from. For me it was a puzzling disease until I learned about Leaky gut syndrome. 


According to Dr Zoltan P., Rona, the leaky gut syndrome is the name given to a very common health disorder in which the basic organic defect (lesion) is an intestinal lining which is more permeable (porous) than normal. The abnormally large spaces present between the cells of the gut wall allow the entry of toxic material into the bloodstream that would, in healthier circumstances, be repelled and eliminated. 
The gut becomes leaky in the sense that bacteria, fungi, parasites and their toxins, undigested protein, fat and waste normally not absorbed into the bloodstream in the healthy state, pass through a damaged, hyperpermeable, porous or "leaky" gut. This can be verified by special gut permeability urine tests, microscopic examination of the lining of the intestinal wall as well as the bloodstream with phase contrast or darkfield microscopy of living whole blood.

L-Lysine and Sodium Ascorbate part 2



L-Lysine, L-Proline and Sodium Ascorbate are not just ordinary ingredients, They can remove plaque in your arteries. Cardiovascular Diseases and cancer are responsible for more than 80% in all deaths  in industrialized countries in the world. I found new medicine that could remove effectively plaque, this medicine contains L-Lysine as well. I have visited homeophatic clinic several times, People who refuses to undergo surgery are into chelation but this process is very expensive and time consuming,  in addition,  chelation can remove only calcium which is a part and parcel of the plaque. 

Another reason why I say L- Lysine, L-Proline and Sodium Ascorbate are important is because the combination of the three plus one more ingredient composes Collagen, a rope like protein that holds our cells. Can you imagine your body without collagen? it will break a part. 

From Wikipedia:

Collagen is the main protein of connective tissue in animals and the most abundant protein in mammals, making up about 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content.

Collagen is one of the long, fibrous structural proteins whose functions are quite different from those of globular proteins such as enzymes. Tough bundles of collagen called collagen fibers are a major component of theextracellular matrix that supports most tissues and gives cells structure from the outside, but collagen is also found inside certain cells. Collagen has great tensile strength, and is the main component of fasciacartilageligaments,tendonsbone and skin. Along with soft keratin, it is responsible for skin strength and elasticity, and its degradation leads to wrinkles that accompany aging. It strengthens blood vessels and plays a role in tissue development. It is present in the corneaand lens of the eye in crystalline form. It is also used in cosmetic surgery and burns surgery. Hydrolyzed collagen can play an important role in weight management, as a protein, it can be advantageously used for its satiating power......

 From the reading, you can say that it is the most essential nutrients our body need, not only to remain healthy but to stay alive
