Oriental Medicine

It 's been a long time since I last wrote...it was due to busy schedule and hassles in life, but good to be back. This time as a new convert to an old or I say a very old form of medical paradigm, the Oriental Medicine. These days it can be called as Alternative Medicine, even it existed 3,000 years ago in Korea (Not in China as many believed). It was considered as alternative because the most popular practice of medicine today is the western medicine.

How I was converted then? I think there is in me, deep in me the desire of knowing acupuncture. though of course when talking about Oriental medicine one should include Moksa, Cupping and Herbal procedures. Acupuncture has been mysterious and awesome practice of medicine for me. though it was a long time desire, it did not come to mind that someday I will be one of the students who will undergo such discipline. It come to me like a thief in the night when one of my colleagues got cured after suffering from psoriasis for 20 years.

I am studying under the guidance of a Korean doctor who has been a doctor of some dignitaries in his country. He is now 85 years old and had been a doctor since the 60's. What is interesting about him is that he was born in a place in North Korea where acupuncture started. 3,000 years ago.

In 1929, they unearth stone needle and fish bone needles as evidence that acupuncture has been practiced in Korea even during the stone age. it was brought later in China after few hundred of years. In China they were able to make records
about acupuncture and this was I think was the reason why many thought Acupuncture started from there.

I wish myself good luck...I want to share my experiences and knowledge later, hoping to help people to understand this old but but effective medical practice.

Dr. park

In my February 3, 2009 post, I discussed about my son enduring the chronic disease called Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA). It was a two year ordeal that left us almost in psychological traumatic condition. From time to time we panicked whenever he gets even a slight fever, anticipating that the disease would recur.

Early June of this year, an indication of the disease started to show, but this time we are more calm and composed. The two year has given us time to understand more about the nature of JRA and find better solution to a disease we once thought invincible.

We're through with the mainstream medicine. Homeophaty paved the way for our son's recovery two years ago but our budget would not allow us to go back on the same protocol. We visited another naturopathic doctor by the name Dr Park. She is young but experienced in her profession. I have heard of other naturopath doctors but you need to have deep pocket to afford their fees and medicines.

Unlike other naturopath, Dr Park suggest foods that is fit on every patients situation and prescribed medicine from nature available in public market or groceries stores. All you have to do is buy your own juicer and prepare your own medicinal juice from fruits and vegetables. Sounds great!!! isn't it? commercial medicinal concoction available in the market are unbelievably priced too high, you will get sick from stress and burden summing up all your expenses even in a week time.

To make the story short, we brought our son to her for treatment, and almost a month had passed, our sons condition is becoming better everyday. But we are not worried about it. We believe that our son got sick because of toxins that had accumulated with years of wrong lifestyle, and to correct his balance he needs at least three months or less. As Dr. Bernard Jensen once said, Nature cure slow but she is exacting deliberate and relentless.

Basic Foundations of the Adam & Eve Diet -- Water and Salt

The body is made up of 25% food and 75% water. You got sick because of the foods you have been eating, and the failure to maintain your body's water level at 75%. Water is to the body what oil is to a car. Without sufficient oil, a car will break down, no matter if it always has a tankful of the finest gasoline, is always washed and greased, and always has new spark plugs. Without sufficient water, the body will break down, because all the cells, the blood, the tissues, the vital organs will get. dehydrated. When the water drops below 75%, the immune system drops with it. Drink at least 10 8-oz glasses of mineral water a day (15 glasses if you have high blood pressure) to maintain your body's water level at 75%. Do not drink distilled and reverse osmosis water. They have no minerals. Because water has a natural affinity for minerals, they will draw minerals from wherever they can and will strip your body of minerals. A cancer patient is already very deficient in minerals. Distilled and reverse osmosis water will aggravate this deficiency and worsen the cancer. Increase your salt intake by at least 1/2 teaspoon of rock salt daily to be able to retain the water (otherwise you'll just keep urinating it out). Water and salt are basic components of the Adam and Eve Diet. Without them, the Diet will not work. The Adam & Eve Diet Change your eating habits into the Adam & Eve diet. This diet will just not make you very healthy, it will rejuvenate you and make you younger. Here's how. For the 1st 6 months. Eat 100% raw foods. I call this the Adam and Eve diet, because in the Garden of Eden, there was no pugon (stove). They ate 100% raw, and they lived 930 years. After 6 months. You can eat cooked fish and chicken, but not after 1 p.m. This way you will have 18 hours until breakfast when the enzymes from your pancreas. can be used to digest cancer cells and not animal food. Avoid cooked red meats. They are the hardest to digest. Always eat raw foods first, so your stomach will have the enzymes from these foods to help digest the cooked foods that follow, requiring less work from your own pancreas. Although you can now eat cooked foods, still eat as much raw food as possible, at least 70-90% of your diet. Today, the longest living people on earth are the Japanese. In September 2006, Japan had 28,395 citizens aged 100 or older, according to the Health Ministry. The UN estimates that by 2050, Japan will have one million centenarians, the world's largest. The Japanese eat a lot of raw foods. They eat raw vegetables and fruits for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, not just raw fish and raw shellfish. In a Japanese restaurant you can eat 100% raw. Start with a green salad, follow with sashimi, and end with a fresh fruit. In the Philippines, you can also eat 100% raw. Start with a vegetable salad, follow with kinilaw na tanguingui (raw, marinated mackerel), and finish with a raw ripe mango or a banana. Raw foods are living foods, cooked foods are dead food. If you plant a raw kamote (sweet potato), after 2 weeks life will be coming out of the soil. If you plant a boiled kamote, it will rot in the soil just like any dead body. We get sick as we grow old because all our lives we keep planting dead food in ourbodies. Anything cooked above 40 degrees centigrade loses its enzymes, vitamins, and its minerals become inorganic which the body cannot absorb. Cancer develops when the pancreas have been so worn down by hard to digest foods that they can no longer produce enough enzymes to digest the outer coating of cancer cells as they come along. Avoid dairy products because they are also hard to digest, like milk, cheese except cottage cheese, ice cream. Avoid all foods made with white refined flour, like pan de sal, white sliced bread, cakes, pastries. Rye bread, wheat bread that doesn't use hydrogenated vegetable oils are OK. Instead of white refined rice, eat brown rice mixed with red malagkit (sticky rice). The ratio is 1 cup of brown rice mixed with 1 tablespoon of red malagkit. Avoid foods and drinks made with white refined sugar, like candies and soft drinks. Cancer thrives in a sugary environment. If you need sugar, use raw muscovado sugar, or raw honey, or maple syrup. Avoid artificial sweeteners like aspartame (Nutrasweet), found in diet soft drinks and Equal. The body converts aspartame into formaldehyde, a chemical used for embalming corpses. It can aggravate diabetes and cause brain tumors. Natural non-sugar sweeteners like Stevia and Xylitol are OK. Avoid all soy products, except possibly small amounts of fermented soy, like miso, natto, and dark soy sauce (avoid light-colored soy sauces which are highly processed). Soy promotes cancer because: (1) It is high in estrogen-mimicking compounds which fertilize the growth of cancer cells. (2) It blocks the action of enzymes that digest proteins, preventing the digestion by the pancreatic enzymes of the animal protein outer coating of cancer cells. (3) It blocks the absorption of essential minerals, aggravating the mineral deficiency of cancer patients. (4) It has hemagglutinin, a substance which promotes blood clots because it causes clustering of red blood cells/ (5) The clustering also prevents the cells from absorbing oxygen properly, and cancer thrives in an oxygen-starved environment. The usual argument for soy is that the cancer rate in Japan is low because the Japanese eat a lot of soy. Not true. They eat only small amounts of fermented soy with servings of meat or fish which minimize the mineral-blocking effects of soy. There is more soy consumed in America, like soya milk, soy flour, soy oil, soy ice cream, soy burgers, soy oil-based salad dressings, soy-oil based vitamins. It's in snack foods, fast foods, cereals, prepakaged foods. Check labels for soy content. Sample Menu Here is a sample menu for your 3 meals a day, incorporating the raw pancreas, raw liver, raw garlic, raw cassava juice: Breakfast (100% raw) 1 capful of Goji Juice, 5 minutes before the meal 1 orange or grapefruit or a pomelo 1/2 of a big papaya laced with 3 cloves of crushed raw garlic (delicious with garlic!) 2 tablespoons of raw pork pancreas seasoned according to your taste 2 raw eggs with a pinch of rock salt in each 2 heaping tablespoons of Superfood in a glass of fresh fruit juice 1 bowl of raw cereals (hulled barley, spelt, whole grain wheat, steel-cut oats, buckwheat oats, millet, quinoa, amaranth), pine nuts, raw pepitas and sunflower seeds from Healthy Options stores. Put the cereals, nuts, seeds in a bowl in equal proportions, like a teaspoon each. Soak the mixture overnight in warm mineral water. The soaking starts germination, which makes them more nutritious, and soft enough to chew in the morning, but still deliciously crunchy. Strain out the water. Sweeten with slices of latondon banana. Lunch Start with a large bowl of fresh vegetable salad. Have many different vegetables, like green and purple leafy lettuce, bell peppers of all colors, carrots, cucumbers, turnips (singkamas which is rich in B17), chunks of apples, red seedless grapes, 3 pieces of raw okra. Make it as colorful as possible. The nutrition is in the color. Avoid the white iceberg lettuce used for Cesar's salad. It has no nutrition. The red seedless grapes will serve as the dressing. But if you wish, use a dressing of vinegar and oil. The healthy oils are extra virgin cold pressed coconut oil or extra virgin cold pressed olive oil. The healthy vinegars are sukang Ilocos, or sukang niog, which are raw. Avoid the highly advertised vinegars which are highly processed. After the salad, 2 tablespoons of raw pork pancreas and 3 tablespoons of raw beef liver, with 3 cloves of crushed raw garlic, a cup of blanched saluyot or spinach or kangkong or kamote leaf tops, and brown rice with red malagkit. You can have bagoong with the blanched green leaves to make them delicious. If after this, you're still hungry, you can have any cooked food (fish, shell fish, chicken) but no red meats. If you are a cancer patient, remember, eat 100% raw for the first 6 months. Finish with a fresh ripe mango or with a raw ripe saba banana. Raw saba has 3x the potassium of latondan and 6x of lakatan. Dinner Same pattern as lunch. Be sure to eat the raw foods first ahead of the cooked foods to have enzymes already in the stomach to help digest the cooked foods that follow.

Adam and Eve Diet 2

How to Prepare the Raw Pancreas and Liver

Buy them early morning from the wet market, so they are freshly butchered. Do not buy more than a week's supply.

Wash them clean. Then soak in a basin of water for 10 minutes with 1/2 half cup of rock salt to disinfect. (Do this washing and soaking of all raw foods that you eat, including raw vegetables.) After the soaking, rub the meats with more salt.

Rinse out the salt and cut the meat into small cubes so you can easily measure it by the tablespoonful.

Wrap up the pancreas 2 tablespoons per packet (you can use a small plastic bag), and the liver 3 tablespoons per packet. Do not season all the meat yet.

Put the packets in the freezer, and get them out to eat one at a time as needed.

Season each packet just before eating, whichever way you want to make it palatable. Just do not use vetsin (MSG) or cook it. Some mix it with wasabi like sashimi, some make it into kinilaw, like marinated mackerel, others like to chew it fresh frozen (it has a nice cool clean taste) which melts in the mouth, sometime dipping it in rock salt.

Adam And Eve Diet

The article I wrote in September 30, 2009 regarding the pancreatic Enzyme Therapy spoke about the importance of a diet for cancer patients. Now I would like to share the said diet from the article written by Dr Jaime E Dy- Liacco. I am for sure this will help many people who are suffering from the disease. Just today, I learned that a long time friend whom I have not meet sometime died of cancer. If more people would be informed of this simple diet, many would be spared from dying early.

ADAM AND EVE DIET FOR CANCER PATIENTS

THIS DIET is to be taken with the raw pork pancreas, raw beef liver, raw garlic, and raw cassava juice needed to kill cancer cells, daily coffee enemas to remove the dead rotting cells, and using an electronic zapper to kill whatever parasites come with the raw meats.

The dosages are as follows:

Raw Pork Pancreas. Two (2) tablespoons with every meal (3x a day), and 2 tablespoons on an empty stomach one hour before every meal and just before bedtime (4x a day), for a total of 14 tablespoons daily.

Raw pork pancreas are very rich in the pancreatic enzymes (chymotrypsin and trypsin) that digest animal protein. They will digest the animal protein outer coating of the cancer cell and remove its negative ion charge, so the immune system cells which also have negative ion charges, can now enter the cancer cell and kill it.

Unless this outer coating is digested and the negative ion charge removed, the immune system cannot kill the cancer cell, because two negatives repel each other.

Raw beef liver. Three (3) tablespoons at lunch only (1x a day). This is very rich in vitamins and minerals, and is the best blood builder there is. It will strengthen the immune system so it can kill the cancer cell once the cell's outer protective coating has been digested.

Raw garlic. One clove of crushed raw garlic with each serving of raw pancreas and liver to kill the bacteria and viruses that might be in the raw meat.

Raw cassava juice. One 8-oz glass after breakfast and one glass after dinner. This is very rich in Vitamin B-17, which enters the cancer cell after its outer coating has been digested by the raw pancreas, and together with a strengthened immune system, kills the cancer cell.

When the cassava enters the cancer cell, an enzyme, beta-glucosidase, which cancer cells and not normal cells secrete in profusion, breaks it down into two molecules of glucose, and 2 molecules of strong poisons, benzaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide, which kill the cancer cell.

Normal cells secrete a different enzyme, rhodanese, which the cancer cells do not. This enzyme turns the benzaldehyde into benzoic acid, an analgesic, which eases the pains of terminal cancer patients, and which turns the hydrogen cyanide into thiocyanate, a harmless substance which is a natural regulator of blood pressure.

Thus, cassava juice not only acts like a target-specific smart bomb in killing the cancer cell, but it also has beneficial side effects for the normal cells. Take these dosages for 25 straight days, then take a break for 5 days. During the break, continue to take the 2 tablespoons of raw pancreas with your meals to help digest the food. The break gives the body a chance to get rid of residual dead cancer cells which may not have been removed by the daily coffee enemas.

Follow this 25 days-on, 5 days-off cycle every month until you are cancer free, then continue the same for another 6 months. If you continue to be cancer free after 6 months, drop to a maintenance dose of only 2 tablespoons of raw pancreas with every meal and the 3 tablespoons of raw liver for the rest of your life.

Coffee enema. This is a high (a 15" catheter goes into the colon), 15-minute retention enema that circulates coffee in the colon (5 minutes lying on the left side, 5 minutes on the back, 5 minutes on the right side) to make the coffee hit the liver and gall bladder areas.

When it does that, the liver and gall bladder contract, dumping into the colon all the dead rotting cancer cells which the liver had filtered out of the blood. You then dump them into the toilet.

Once you start eating the raw pancreas and liver, you'll start killing cancer cells by the millions, and these dead cells will start rotting in your body, making you feel toxic (dizziness, headache, fever, muscle aches, joint pains, nausea, even vomiting). This toxic feeling lifts instantly when the enema is done.

Do the first enema upon waking up in the morning, before breakfast. Be sure to defecate 1st so that there is no obstruction to the circulation of the coffee. If you cannot defecate, do a water enema first to clear the colon of waste, then follow it up with the coffee.

You may have to do more than one enema a day, because as the day progresses, you continue to kill cancer cells. So play it by ear, do an enema whenever you feel intolerably toxic, because it means you are killing cancer cells faster than you are removing them.

Bio-Electric Zapper. This is an electronic device that runs 1 milliampere of current through your body, not enough to kill a cockroach, but enough to kill all viruses, bacteria, worms, all other parasites. Use it every day to keep yourself free of all these parasites. Parasites can injure tissues, and injuries to tissues trigger the growth of cancer.

You can choose from two recommended zappers, both of which come with detailed usage instructions. One is the Mayco zapper, locally made by Msgr. Howard May and the other imported from the U.S. from Dr. James R. Overman. The difference between the two is the current from the Mayco zapper penetrates the intestines and kills the good bacteria as well, whereas the Overman zapper does not to avoid killing the good bacteria.

If the Mayco zapper is used, take a probiotic (example, a bottle of Yakult 3x a day) to replenish the good bacteria in the colon. If the Overman zapper is used, and there are parasites in the colon that need to be killed, take Preventa SC, a herbal supplement to kill the parasites in the colon, and/or Wormex if there are worms. If there are no parasites in the colon, there is no need to take the herbal supplement, just use the zapper.

iodine

Essential nutrient such as iodine is important to avoid various diseases including breast and stomach cancer,abnormal enlargement of thyroid gland aka "Goiter", cardiovascular diseases, mental retardation and even flushing out of toxic chemicals including mercury.

Iodine was discovered by Bernard Courtois in 1811.


Dr. Michael Donaldson says, “Iodine stabilizes the heart rhythm, lowers serum cholesterol and lowers blood pressure.

Goitrogens are substances that suppress the function of the thyroid gland by interfering with iodine uptake, which can, as a result, cause an enlargement of the thyroid. (from Wikipedia)

Foods which are specified as goitrogenic like cassava, peanuts, soybeans, cabbage and many more need to be balanced by iodine to avoid enlargement of the thyroid.

There are various drugs and chemicals that are also considered as goitrogenic.

Many kinds of sea products are good sources of iodine such as seaweeds, kelps, fish but the most convenient way to avail of iodine is by using iodized salt.

Removing mercury

Mercury is not easily taken out of the body even by Sodium Ascorbate. This article by Dr Bate shows the advantages of Ascorbic acid as chelation agent that removes even minerals that are beneficial to the body in the blood including the toxic Mercury which is suspected to have caused various health problems.

Bentonite clay for internal healing 2

Liquid bentonite for elimination
Taken internally, liquid bentonite supports the intestinal system in the elimination of toxins. Liquid bentonite is inert which means it passes through the body undigested.
Bentonite clay is made up of a high number of tiny platelets, with negative electrical charges on their flat surfaces and positive charges on their edges.
When bentonite clay absorbs water and swells up, it is stretched open like a highly porous sponge. Toxins are drawn into these spaces through electrical attraction and bound. In fact, according to the Canadian Journal of Microbiology (2), bentonite clay can reportedly absorb pathogenic viruses, as well as herbicides and pesticides.


The bentonite is eventually eliminated from the body with the toxins bound to its multiple surfaces.
Bentonite clay and diarrhea
In his book "The Clay Cure" (3), Ran Knishinsky discusses how diarrhea can be remedied through the use of bentonite clay because of its ability to bind stools. Bentonite clay can take effect right away by binding to irritants in the gastrointestinal tract. It's a good idea to mix the bentonite clay with 1 cup of applesauce, which not only makes the clay more palatable, but also adds pectin, which is another binding agent.

Bentonite has many uses
Bentonite is used in pharmaceuticals, medical and cosmetics markets. Bentonite is used as a filler in pharmaceutical drugs, and due to its absorption-adsorption capabilities, it allows paste formation. Bentonite is used in industrial protective creams, wet compresses, and anti-irritant lotions for eczema. In medicine, bentonite is used as an antidote in heavy metal poisoning. Personal care products such as mud packs, baby powder, sunburn paint, and face creams may contain bentonite.

How to take the bentonite
The best way to drink bentonite is on an empty stomach, or at least 1 hour before or after meals. Bentonite typically is available as a thick tasteless grey gel, but it also comes encapsulated, as well as in powder form.

It is generally advisable to start with 1 tablespoon of bentonite clay daily, mixed with a small amount of juice. Pay attention to the results for a week, then gradually increase the dosage to no more than 4 tablespoons daily, in divided doses.
In my opinion, the best price for high quality bentonite can be found here.
Drinking bentonite clay should be part of your regular colon cleansing regimen. You will benefit from greater assimilation because of the bentonite clay's action as an intestinal cleanser and gastrointestinal regulator. As your body "cleans house", it is in a better position to more efficiently assimilate the nutrients it needs, whether those nutrients come from your healing diet, vegetable juicing or cod liver oil and any other supplements.

Bentonite clay for internal healing 1

Internal cleansing of the body I believe should be the first step in reversing any damage done due to diseases caused by pathogens or even pollution. I also like cleansing agents that are available raw, in natural form, and inexpensive. I happen to read an interesting article which I want to share to my family and friends. Its about a special clay.

Bentonite clay for internal healing (www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-​diet/bentonite-clay)

The idea of eating clay to promote internal healing will undoubtedly appear to many as farfetched, if not a little primitive.

But natural clay, especially the form known as "bentonite clay", has not only been used medicinally for hundreds of years by indigenous cultures around the planet, but has, in recent years, been increasingly used by practitioners of alternative medicine as a simple but effective internal cleanser to help in preventing and alleviating various health problems.
The name "bentonite clay" refers to a clay first identified in cretaceous rocks in Fort Benton, Wyoming. Although bentonite deposits can be found throughout the world, many of the largest concentrations of clay are located in the Great Plains area of North America.
Bentonite is not a mineral, but a commercial name for "montmorillonite", the active mineral in many medicinal clays. The name ""montmorillonite" comes from the city Montmorillon, in France, where the medicinal clay was first identified.
Bentonite clay - used by indigenous tribes and animals for centuries
Clay is one of the most effective natural intestinal detoxifying agents available to us and has been used for hundreds of years by native tribes around the globe.
Primitive tribes have traditionally used various types of clay for conditions of toxicity. Dr. Weston A. Price in his book, "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration (1), stated that in studying the diets of native tribes he examined their knapsacks. Among the tribes examined in the high Andes, in Central Africa and the Aborigines of Australia, Dr. Price reported that some knapsacks contained balls of volcanic ash clay, a little of which was dissolved in water. Pieces of food were then dipped into the clay.
Animals in the wild, drawn to clay deposits by instinct, have been observed licking the clay as part of their everyday diet as well as rolling in it to get relief from injuries.

How to reverse Cardiovascular Disease 5

Weakened By Drugs
The facts are I nearly died of a severe heart attack in January 2008. Being "fit" was the main reason I survived. Also, as I say, I'd always taken vitamins daily. Far more than the RDA's but much less than I actually needed.I'd been doing aikido three days a week, doing weights, and jogging for months. Getting to hospital quickly via ambulance was the other vital factor in my survival. In Emergency, a cardiologist "saved" me by unblocking an artery and inserting a "stent" - but then nearly killed me by causing a heamorrhage. Luckily I also survived that. Then a week in hospital away from my vitamin supply - replaced by the standard drugs prescribed for heart disease - left me weak as a kitten.

Linus Pauling's Protocol
My actual recovery began the day I left hospital and began implementing the vitamin protocol in Linus Pauling's How To Live Longer And Feel Better. As I say, I already knew about Pauling's "cure" but was unable to begin it while still in hospital. The drugs and surgery culture is of course at its strongest in hospitals.

Saying "No" To Drugs
The day I was discharged from hospital I put the bag of "medications" to one side in favour of vitamins. It was not an easy decision. I needed to get Toni's agreement. Because if I (and Linus Pauling) was wrong - and the entire medical establishment was right - then I would die. leaving her alone after a wonderful fourteen year relationship.

We agreed to put off taking any medications that night. Instead I began taking high doses of Vitamin C and L-Lysine. It wasn't easy to stop the drugs! I was still very weak and the hospital brainwashing had been very strong, especially In my weakened post operative condition. In hospital I'd had to take the drugs, and prior to discharge I'd been carefully indoctrinated into how much of which and when of the six drugs I was supposed to take daily for the rest of my life! The attitude was this was the only possible way to survive now.

Say, This Really Works!
That first day home I could barely crawl upstairs to the bathroom, and it left me gasping for breath and my heart pounding in protest. Night times were rough. I'd wake up and know that I needed more C, so I started keeping a big bottle in the bathroom. After a few days I found my optimum level of C (just below bowel tolerance). I could feel my strength and confidence returning almost hourly.

One week later I was almost jogging upstairs and thinking about getting back into bodybuilding and weights. All I had done was replace the medications with high doses of vitamins, following the advice of Dr Linus Pauling in his fantastic book -How To Live Longer And Feel Better!

The Stress Test
About three weeks later I received a letter from the cardiology unit asking me to come in for a "stress test". After reading about stress tests on the internet I decided I was not "ready" for one yet. I ignored the letter and upped my recovery routine - longer walks every day, lifting heavier weights. When I received another letter a few weeks later I felt "ready". The day before the stress test I was running up steps two at a time during long, fast daily walks. I was up to about 18 grams of Vitamin C daily and feeling great.

I was easily able to pass the stress test when I was called back to the cardiology unit. That's when they discovered I hadn't taken any of their medication and the cardiologist abused me. Ten months later, I'm back into bodybuilding with heavy weights, alternated with fairly intensive qigong (chi kung) workouts, I walk for hours with no problem, run up steps, Thanks to Linus Pauling I have regained my health, strength and fitness.

40% Chance of Sudden Death
Following the stress test was an interview. I had a folder of information I'd printed out from various websites regarding the Pauling protocol. When the interviewing nurse told the cardiologist (the cardiologist who had performed my heart surgery) he was very angry when he found out I had not taken any of his drugs. He tried scare tactics, but I had expected that. Toni was with me as he sat on the edge of the desk. His actual words were You have a 40% chance of sudden death in the next twelve months! Well, I guess I showed him! If I died tomorrow he'd still be wrong because that would still be months later than his prediction.

Cause For Celebration
This webpage then, is also a celebration of my living beyond that twelve month mark - thanks to Linus Pauling's How To Live Longer And Feel Better.

LEARN From Linus Pauling (Above) Or THIS Is What's In Store For You - If You Survive YOUR Heart Attack...
Linus Pauling Said...
I believe that you can, by taking some simple and inexpensive measures, lead a longer life and extend your years of well-being. My most important recommendation is that you take vitamins every day in optimum amounts to supplement the vitamins that you receive in your food. Those optimum amounts are much larger than the minimum supplemental intake usually recommended by physicians and old-fashioned nutrionists.
(Dr Linus Pauling - How to Live Longer And Feel Better)

14 months after my heart surgery, in addition to our weights and aikido workouts, I have returned to jogging once a week. When I began, we hadn't run for 3 months but I found that three sets of "running man" before the weight training keeps me fit enough to go for a run.

We jog to the local cemetary then sprint 100 metres up a hill there, then jog back, takes about half-an-hour.I got Toni to take that video of me doing "running man" and the pullups. I did the pullups twice because the first set of 5 pullups took too long, making a 7 meg movie. You can see our home gym in the background.The point is I have health, strength and fitness.

I share this with the world not to brag, but to make my point, thatcardiovascular disease can be prevented or reversed following the recommendations of Linus Pauling in his book, How To Live Longer And Feel Better. If, like me, you have survived a heart attack then you need to ensure you never suffer another one. You need to research this information on the net and/or get a copy of Linus Pauling's book. If you have not yet had a heart attack then it's just a matter of time before you do. That's not my opinion. That's statistics.

My opinion, and deep-seated belief, is the same as Linus Pauling's. That cardiovascular disease is completely reversible and completely avoidable with optimum nutrition as outlined in his book. I continue to defy my GP and the cardiologist by not taking any medications. To this day I won't even take an aspirin. I welcome any comments below!

that the RDA, or Recommended Daily Allowance, was in fact the lowest amount needed to prevent obvious symptoms. For example, even a tiny amount of lime juice protected sailors from scurvy.The gross error in medical thinking, however, is that all anyone needs is that tiny amount. Once you understand the concept of optimum nutrition it's obvious why the much touted RDA's have done nothiDr Rath continues Pauling's legacy...
Vitamins And Disease Prevention
For many years I have "believed in" vitamins and taken them daily, including vitamin C. But rarely more than 1 or 2 grams. I had become soused to feeling good that I failed to realise how important my vitamins were in maintaining my state of wellness.

Also, I had no practical appreciation of the concept of "optimum nutrition". I knew ng at all to prevent the epidemic of cardiovascular disease. Or any other disease for that matter.

By amazing coincidence, the day prior to my heart attack I had completely run out of vitamin C and therefore didn't take any at all.

If you have not yet read Pauling's How To Live Longer And Feel Better, then you may not appreciate the importance of this information. Amazingly this Vitamin C prevention and cure for cardiovascular disease was known about in the eighties - even in the thirties - while "modern medicine" continues to ignore it.

Nutritional Illiteracy?
For example, I just came across this latest idiocy -

Multivitamin supplements have “little or no influence” on a woman’s risk of cardiovascular disease or cancer, according to results of the Women’s Health Initiative.

By Stephen Daniells, 10-Feb-2009

A study with 161,808 postmenopausal women aged between 50 and 79, reportedly the largest study ever conducted on this demographic group, found that multivitamins had no effect on the risks related to cardiovascular disease, and a range of cancers.

The study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, concludes that, while nutrition should remain a principle focus for the prevention of chronic diseases, it is unlikely that multivitamin supplements have a role to play.

“What this paper shows is that multivitamin use just doesn’t seem to make that much of a difference in this population,” said co-author Sylvia Wassertheil-Smoller from Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. “It confers no additional benefit but it also does no harm.”

Okay, we're looking at nutritional illiteracy. How else to explain the above "study"? In the Sixties Linus Pauling preached that It takes megadoses of specific vitamins to obtain the desired effect. I take 18 grams of Vitamin C daily plus 4 grams of L-lysine to keep my arteries clear. The fact that I never catch colds is a bonus I take for granted.

Since recovering so easily from my heart attack (thanks to Linus Pauling) I view people connected in any way with such "studies" as morons. Well, what is the opposite of genius? Only a moron could expect a couple of "multivitamins" to do what 18 grams of C does!

Mankind should be grateful to people like Dr Rath. He is far more caring - and effective - than I could ever hope to be. I can't even get my own father off his heart medications.

Dr Rath Fights Nutritional Illiteracy
Dr. Rath is a renowned scientist who has made some of the most fundamental scientific discoveries towards the natural control of cardiovascular disease and cancer. He was also a longtime colleague and friend of the late Noble Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling.

Before his death in 1994, Dr. Pauling predicted that Dr. Rath's discoveries will threaten the survival of entire industries - namely, the multi-billion dollar investment business with disease - and will trigger the fiercest reactions from them.

Over the past 15 years, this prediction has become reality. Leading the global effort to end health illiteracy, Dr. Rath and his team of researchers have become the focus of attacks from the interests described at one of his websites.

Please have a look at Dr Rath's free health information course.

How to reverse Cardiovascular Disease 3

A cardiologist was on standby at the hospital and I was rushed into surgery. He quickly got a tube into my right arm (I refused to have it in my groin) and soon located and unblocked and inserted a stent into the artery, bringing much relief from the pain but then I began choking on blood that seemed to be coming from my lungs. He said I needed "more work" (meaning more stents inserted at approx $3,000 each) but was forced to stop because I was choking.

The only reason I didn't choke to death was because I was able to take a quick breath in between each swallow of blood. The cardiologist said the blood must be coming from an ulcer affected by the aspirin given to me in the ambulance. I still suspect it was coming from my lungs. Anyway, luckily the blood stopped after a few minutes.It tasted foul.

Soon after surgery I said I was going to be sick and vomited up maybe a gallon of putrid, black blood. That caused enormous relief to me but horrified my partner and parents when they arrived to see if I was okay. By now the morphine had kicked in and I was feeling wonderful and started babbling about how we should visit everyone in hospital to share the love.

How To Reverse Cardiovascular Disease 2

(Albert Szent-Gyorgy - discovered vitamin C)

Albert, three-time Nobel Prize winnerLinus Pauling, myself (and others) saw what everyone else saw (including 99% of doctors and surgeons). We, however, seem able to think what theyseem unable to think. Unlike them, we are not still looking for a cure for heart disease. We don't need to. We found it.

Linus Pauling's book - How To Live Longer And Feel Better - though written for the layman is jammed full of medical studies. Pauling's genius highlights how these studies were wrongly or falsely mis-interpreted leading to the acceptance of the drugs and surgery solution.

Major Heart Attack
Luckily - and because I was otherwise fit and healthy - I survived a major heart attack at age 56. After 1 week in hospital I quickly regained my health, strength and fitness by completely reversing my cardiovascular disease. I did this by following Linus Pauling's recommendations in his classic book How To Live Longer And Feel Better,

My Heart Attack At Age 56
In January 2008, aged 56, I suffered a major heart attack. With my partner I had jogged for about five minutes on the way to my parents' house here in the north of England. We had had greasy fish and chips the night before, so at first I hoped it was just some kind of indigestion. I managed to continue walking, very slowly, to my parents's house hoping it would clear up.

After some minutes of pretending there was nothing wrong, I felt a growing sense of unease, or foreboding. Mum sensed straight away it was serious and phoned an ambulance. Feeling worse by the minute I knew I had to get to hospital fast and walked out as the ambulance arrived. The crew were not happy seeing me on my feet and quickly laid me down inside the ambulance and rushed me off to hospital.

How To Reverse Cardiovascular Disease

Recently, I have read an article of Charles S. I got curious with his testimony since I was using the same protocol that made me a lot better after months of chest pain and feeling of exhaustion. His testimony had given me confidence and encouragement that the protocol works. I started my blog with the purpose of sharing my success especially to my friends and family members who are undergoing the same problem. Few of my friends and relatives have succumbed to Cardiovascular Diseases. Their are few more who are still alive but are struggling with the disease on the daily bases. Sharing this knowledge might save lives.

How To Reverse Cardiovascular Disease
BY CHARLES S

3 months after major heart attack - thanks to Linus Pauling, Vit C & Lysine
18 months after major heart attack, heart disease "still" cured - running up steps is easy!

Reversing cardiovascular disease or, much better, preventing it in the first place is - contrary to popular medical belief - not only possible, it's awfully easy.

In fact there are numerous ways toprevent or cure heart disease. How hard is it to type "heart disease cure" into a search engine? Here I share Dr Linus Pauling's method because it's the first cure I learned about years ago, worked exactly as claimed by Pauling, and continues to work for me, and I believe will work for anyone intelligent enough to try it.

If you are looking for a simpler, saner alternative to medicine's blinkered drugs and surgery approach to CVD, then you might be interested in my story of how I reversed my own CVD(cardiovascular disease) in about one week.

Clogged Arteries
There's only one way to prevent or cure CVD, and that's to unclog the arteries. There are different ways to unclog arteries. I use Linus Pauling's method because it allows me to eat and drink "normally" and not require any medications. I don't even take aspirin.

Who has these clogged arteries? You do. I used to. Basically, everyone who is not following a proven program to unclog them. Yes, even children. Our arteries start clogging early and continue until they cause a heart attack or stroke. It's not a case of ifone in four of us (or whatever the statistic is today) will suffer a heart attack or stroke, it's a matter of when.

Abram Hoffer-Part 3

By the mid-1960s, according to Hoffer, psychiatry was emphasising the use of neuroleptic drugs. Hoffer claims that he and like-minded researchers, calling themselves "orthomolecularists", were snubbed and became the victims of a conspiracy, with their reports rejected by scientific journals. In 1967, Hoffer resigned his academic and administrative positions, entered into private psychiatric practice in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and created the Journal of Schizophrenia as a means of publishing articles rejected by mainstream journals. After several name changes, the journal was called the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine in 1986. In 1976, Hoffer relocated to Victoria, British Columbia and continued with his private psychiatric practice until his retirement in 2005. Hoffer continued to provide nutritional consultations and served as editor of the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine. He was also President of the Orthomolecular Vitamin Information Centre in Victoria, BC.
Hoffer died May 27, 2009 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Abram Hoffer-Part 2

Abram Hoffer (November 11, 1917 – May 27, 2009) was a Canadian psychiatrist known for his claims that nutrition and megadoses of vitamins are effective treatments for schizophrenia. This general approach, called orthomolecular medicine by its proponents and questioned by most of the mainstream medical community, includes the use of megavitamins and is commonly called megavitamin therapy.

Biography
Hoffer received a degree in agriculture from the University of Saskatchewan in 1938, followed by a Masters degree in agricultural chemistry in 1940. He received a PhD in biochemistry from the University of Minnesota in 1944 with research into vitamin content of cereals. Hoffer graduated with an MD from the University of Toronto in 1949 and completed psychiatric training in 1954.
Hoffer was a faculty member of the College of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan from 1955–67 and served as the Director of Psychiatric Research for the Saskatchewan Department of Public Health in Regina from 1950–67. He stated that half the patients housed in the mental hospital were diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia and that the conditions in the mental hospital and the treatment of these patients were poor, and looked for better answers to treat the mentally ill. Critical of psychiatry for its emphasis on psychosomatic psychoanalysis and for what he considered a lack of adequate definition and measurement, Hoffer felt that biochemistry and human physiology should be used instead. He hypothesised that schizophrenics lack the ability to remove a hallucinogenic metabolite adrenochrome from their brains. He speculated that he could decrease the concentration of adrenochrome in the brain by using vitamin C to reduce adrenochrome to adrenaline and using niacin as a methyl acceptor to prevent the conversion of noradrenaline into adrenaline. Hoffer called his theory the "adrenochrome hypothesis".

When a family member is suffering from mental disorder, everyone feels disheartened and distressed. All you wanted is the best solution other than tranquilizers and dangerous drugs. When I asked our psychiatrist if all the drugs he prescribed were safe, I sensed he himself is not totally sure. I did some research and was horrified knowing their side effects. A man who was taking the same medicine our doctor prescribed run amok and killed some bystander after weeks of taking the medicine. Right there and then I threw all prescription drugs and started some megavitamins that comes from natural sources and is a lot safer compared to those chemicals manufactured from Laboratories. I continued my research on vitamins which are appropriate for psychosis until I stumbled upon the orthomolecular Medicine and its proponents.

I would like to share the biography of Abram Hoffer a psychiatrist whose approach in treating mental disorder is called Orthomolecular Medicine. He claimed that nutrition and mega dose of vitamins are effective in treating schizophrenia.

psychosis

What is psychosis?

according to wikipedia:

Psychosis (from the Greek ψυχή "psyche", for mind/soul, and -ωσις "-osis", for abnormal condition) means abnormal condition of the mind, and is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a "loss of contact with reality". People suffering from psychosis are said to be psychotic.

Symptoms such as: can not tell what is real and what is not , hallucinations, delusions, confusion, difficulty in doing even ordinary activities.

When a close kin of mine went through having these symptoms, we were devastated,we thought its the end of her and that we can not do anything but accept such fate and suffer with her forever.

I tried to know what it is all about. When I learned that its treatable, I mustered some courage to do all I can do what is best for her.

Psychosis affects 3 in 100 people, and usually occurs for the first time between the ages of 15 and 30. Men often develop psychosis 5 to 10 years younger than women. In our case it all started from a severe stress due to worries, then followed by sleep deprivation and hearing of voices, sometimes angry voices which continued for a long period. She started singing, sometimes as early as three in the morning and even with a loud singing. Sometimes she could be mildly violent.

The first recourse which is not easy is decide to find help... and that means mental health clinic which nobody would ever want to go. To seek for help earlier from professionals such as psychiatric doctors is the best we can do. Psychosis if given immediate medical attention would be the best move so far.

Insanity part 2

Going near a mentally ill person is scary, imagine yourself sleeping, eating or living with them for days.... must be a nightmare huh? well, I did and I survived. In fact, at a time, I was mistaken as one of the inmates. The guy who visited the mental center got scared when I went near him.

staying with the mental patients is also an adventure, though I was just forced to stay to watch a close kin. I was nearly attacked by one of them, They pee in their beds, shout almost the whole time til dawn. The first time I step inside the cell is not pleasant at all, its depressing, its almost similar entering a prison, windows are made of iron so as the door which is locked at 7 PM,until 6:00 AM, most patients are tied to their beds. Nobody under 15 is allowed. The cell where I stayed is like a halfway house where patients were treated for a week. After which, if their condition is not improving they were recommended to move to another building for further treatment that would last for months. Once you have pass the certain period and could recover, the management could now give you a certain period for observation, by this time you will be given responsibility like cleaning and is scheduled for release.

The brief encounter with them is not all scary but moving, when you began to interact with them knowing their stories, you would feel more sympathy to these people who were just unfortunate. It just that they run out of luck, and it happened to them, Once you began understanding their situation you start to pity them, they are individuals who needs more understanding and care and not as object of ridicule, to be hated or be feared of, or treated like having a contagious diseases.

In the past having this illness is the end of the line, like being dead but that was in the past, the illness is curable, all they need is an environment of love and care especially with their love ones... as the saying goes, Love conquers all...
