Greek Study Shows Regions of the Brain Related to Learning, Memory, Alzheimer's Impacted by EMF

A Greek study led by Adamantia Fragopoulou and Lukas Margaritis has demonstrated important protein changes in the brain of animals following whole body exposure to RF electromagnetic fields, similar to the kind of microwave radiation emitted from cell phones, portable phones, WiFi and wireless computer equipment. The study, was published in Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine, Early Online: 1-25, 2012.

Important regions of the brain necessary for learning, memory and other functions of the mammalian brain were impacted by the microwave radiation, including the hippocampus, cerebellum and frontal lobe, at exposures below the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) safety guidelines. A total of 143 proteins in the brain were impacted by the RF radiation over a period of 8 months, providing new evidence for a potential relationship between everyday cell phone use, wireless transmitters and wireless computer equipment and electrosensitivity symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness and sleep disorders, as well as with tumors, Alzheimer's and even metabolic effects.

The study simulated 3 hours of cell phone exposure over eight months, 8 hours of DECT portable phone exposure over eight months, and included a sham exposure control group. The results showed both down regulation and up regulation of the proteins.

Several neural function related proteins (i.e. Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), Alpha-synuclein, Glia Maturation Factor beta (GMF), and apolipoprotein E (apoE)), heat shock proteins, and cytoskeletal proteins (i.e. neurofilaments and tropomodulin), were shown to be impacted by the radiation, as well as proteins of the brain metabolism (i.e. Aspartate aminotransferase, Glutamate dehydrogenase), in nearly all of the brain regions studied.

Figure 2 from the study shows the 143 proteins that have changed (up- or down-regulated) and their functional relationship based on a literature survey.

Adamantia F. Fragopoulou, M.Sc., PhD Candidate, in the Dept of Cell Biology and Biophysics at University of Athens, Greece, lead author of the study, says, "Our study is important because it shows for the first time protein changes in the mouse brain after EMF exposure and in particular in very crucial regions like hippocampus, cerebellum and frontal lobe, all involved in learning, memory and other complicated functions of the mammalian brain. We have demonstrated that 143 proteins are altered after electromagnetic radiation, including proteins that have been correlated so far with Alzheimer's, glioblastoma, stress and metabolism. In its perspective, this study is anticipated to throw light in the understanding of such health effects like headaches, dizziness, sleep disorders, memory disorders, brain tumors, all of them related, to the function of the altered brain proteins

Lukas H. Margaritis, PhD, Professor Emeritus (as of Sept 2010) of Cell Biology and Radiobiology, Dept of Cell Biology and Biophysics, University of Athens, head of the Athens research group, says, "A high throughput approach (mass characterization of biomolecules, similar to microarrays that analyze the total genes of an organism) as that of the Proteomics* has never been used so far in EMF research of BRAIN TISSUES following whole body exposure of model animals (mice) at SAR values below ICNIRP's recommendations. It is also the first time that wireless DECT phones base radiation is involved in lab animal studies and specifically in such molecular effects. The message taken out of this work is that people should be very cautious when using mobile phones next to their body (especially next to their brain), whereas the wireless DECT should be located as far away as possible from places that people use to spend many hours a day, not to mention children of all ages."

PRESS RELEASE RELEASED BY UNIVERSITY OF ATHENS TEAM

Athens, Greece. January 21, 2012. The research group of Professor Lukas Margaritis (Faculty of Biology, University of Athens and the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens), within the framework of the activities seeking for the truth underlining the possible effects of daily life electromagnetic fields, has performed this study as part of the Doctorate Dissertation of Adamantia F. Fragopoulou.

Using ordinary working conditions of mobile phone and wireless DECT base and by applying state of the art proteome science approaches, they demonstrated that a large number of major brain proteins have been changed. Namely proteins that are responsible for the integrity of brain functions, in such critical regions like hippocampus, cerebellum and frontal lobe are below normal levels whereas an equally large number are found well above physiological levels. These “underexpressed” or “overexpressed” proteins may play a role in the short term or long term effects reported as a consequence of mobile phone exposure, including memory deficits, headaches, sleep disorders, brain tumors.

As pointed out in the “DISCUSSION” section of the paper, the possible start-up events may involve the production of ROS (reactive oxygen species) leading to oxidative damage (as suggested recently by Blank and Goodman of Columbia University in New York City); heat shock protein activation; and finally, changing the expression of a large number of brain proteins, as was demonstrated in this study.

The Fragopoulou et al. study is the first large-scale analysis of the mouse brain proteome to be published so far. The research team having recently been awarded a large “Thalis” grant is potentially aiming in elucidating the EMF effects from the molecular level up to the organism level, exploiting the most suitable model systems (mice, insects, nematodes, lizards, cell cultures, human skin).

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of two sources of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on the proteome of cerebellum, hippocampus, and frontal lobe in Balb/c mice following long-term whole body irradiation. Three equally divided groups of animals (6 animals/group) were used; the first group was exposed to a typical mobile phone, at a SAR level range of 0.17- 0.37 W/kg for 3 h daily for 8 months, the second group was exposed to a wireless DECT base (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications/Telephone) at a SAR level range of 0.012- 0.028 W/kg for 8 h/day also for 8 months and the third group comprised the sham-exposed animals. Comparative proteomics analysis revealed that long-term irradiation from both EMF sources altered significantly (p , 0.05) the expression of 143 proteins in total (as low as 0.003 fold downregulation up to 114 fold overexpression). Several neural function related proteins (i.e., Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), Alpha-synuclein, Glia Maturation Factor beta (GMF), and apolipoprotein E (apoE)), heat shock proteins, and cytoskeletal proteins (i.e., Neurofilaments and tropomodulin) are included in this list as well as proteins of the brain metabolism (i.e., Aspartate aminotransferase, Glutamate dehydrogenase) to nearly all brain regions studied. Western blot analysis on selected proteins confirmed the proteomics data. The observed protein expression changes may be related to brain plasticity alterations, indicative of oxidative stress in the nervous system or involved in apoptosis and might potentially explain human health hazards reported so far, such as headaches, sleep disturbance, fatigue, memory deficits, and brain tumor long-term induction under similar exposure conditions.

Are Electric or Hybrid Cars Cancer Causing?

2012-01-29T16:20:00.000-08:00

If you frequently use or are in close proximity to cell or cordless phones, computers, fluorescent lights, hair dryers, microwave ovens, televisions, x-ray machines, frequent flyer, drive a hybrid or electric car or other electrical devices, then you should be aware of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommendations for safe exposure to EMF. The standard unit used in measuring EMF intensity is “Gauss.” Potentially harmful and cancer causing EMF emitted from many common household sources are measured in milligauss (mG) units.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommended levels for safe exposure to EMF range from .5 mG to a maximum of 2.4 mG – with 1.0 mG as a preferred standard. Adverse human and animal biological effects have been found at 2.5 mG.

Here are eight acidic toxic sources that may be harmful to your health.

1) Computers: 4 tp 20 mG

2) Hair Dryers: 60 to 20,000 mG

3) Microwaves: 100 to 500 mG

4) Television: 5 to 100 mG

5) Cell phones: 15 to 300 mG

6) Airplanes: Over 100 mG by the engines can exceed over 500 mG

7) Hybrid Cars: Over 100 mG

8) Electric Cars: Can exceed 300 mG.

Are Cell Phones Cancer Causing?

2012-01-29T15:35:00.000-08:00

With the use of cell phones and other wireless devices on the rise, concerns have been raised about possible associated health risks, especially cancer (if you’ve been keeping up with our articles about wireless health risks, skip to the next paragraph). Over the years, numerous studies have been conducted to assess relative risk of thermal health effects like cancer and non-thermal health effects like immune system response; however, diverse results have prevented across-the-board conclusions about whether standards governing wireless emissions should be revised in order to protect public health. Many experts advocate the practice of precautionary cell phone use, and almost all agree, “more research is necessary.”

Recently, though, two studies have been published that give researchers more tangible information to sink their teeth into about the immediate physiological effects of cell phone use, specifically how it affects heart and brain function. In 2010, Havas, et al. demonstrated that talking on a cordless phone (which operates at the same radio frequency, or "RF," as WiFi) can directly impact heart function; forty percent of Havas' study participants experienced changes in heart rhythm, heart rate, or heart rate variability after exposure to cordless phone emissions during three-minute intervals. This year, Nora Volkow, M.D. and her research group published data showing that 50 minutes of cell phone use causes the region of the brain closest to the phone antenna to utilize more glucose for fuel. Although the clinical significance of increased glucose metabolism remains to be determined, this finding proves that cell phone use impacts how our brains function.

The Volkow Study: Cell Phone Use Linked to Changes in Brain Function

Throughout 2009, Volkow’s group conducted a randomized crossover studywith 47 healthy participants, testing the effects of 50 minutes of cell phone use on the subjects' brain activity. The researchers conducted two separate experiments on each study participant, both of which involved placing cell phones on each of the participant’s ears, then measuring how his or her brain metabolized glucose using positron emission tomography (PET scans) with injections of (¹⁸F)fluorodeoxyglucose. The study participants were “blinded” as to whether both of the cell phones were turned off, or the one on the right was turned on and receiving a prerecorded text (with the sound muted). Overall, Volkow’s group found that exposure to cell phone radiation caused brain cells closest to the antenna to metabolize more sugar than they would when not exposed to the RF radiation.

Do the Results Indicate that Cell Phone Use is Harmful?

Not surprisingly, Volkow’s group concluded that “more research is necessary” to determine if increased glucose metabolism in response to RF exposure actually increases risk of health problems. The basic results of this study are monumental, though. Because altered cell physiology must be shown in order to prove the possibility of related health effects, demonstrating a link between altered brain activity in the human model and cell phone use proves that cell phone radiation may cause non-thermal health effects in the human brain.

Interestingly enough, Volkow’s group determined that increased glucose metabolism in brain cells was a secondary effect. In other words, exposure to RF emissions caused some other primary effect(s) which led to brain cells using more sugar than they normally would. The researchers hypothesized that enhanced excitability of brain tissue, neurotransmitter release, increased cell membrane permeability, calcium efflux, and disruption of the blood-brain barrier could all be primary effects.

In an editorial related to the study (and published in the same issue of JAMA) Professor Henri Lai, expert on non-thermal effects associated with non-ionizing radiation, and Professor Lennart Hardell, expert on environmental toxins and cancer development, noted several important findings in the 2011 Volkow et al.study. One of which was, that the increased glucose metabolism effect is probably not caused by heating of tissues. Rather, since the brain regions affected were closer to the antenna, rather than the phone itself, the changes were due to RF energy emitted from the antenna when connecting to a base station signal, not the heating of the phone itself (skin temperature can increase up to 2 degrees Celsius after 10 minutes of contact with an operative phone). Hardell and Lai also suggested that more research be done to address whether regular use of cell phones and other wireless technologies could cause chronicincrease in brain glucose metabolism, and, if so, how such increase would impact health.

Increased Brain Glucose Metabolism and EHS?

Numerous individuals, deemed as having “electrohypersensitivity” (“EHS”) by authorities, have reported symptoms including headaches, cognitive difficulties, dizziness, heart palpitations and arrhythmias when exposed to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). By demonstrating that acute exposure to RF emissions can cause heart beat irregularities in human subjects, the Havas group recently created a tangible nexus between exposure to RF emissions and arrhythmia, which had been a frequently reported, yet "unproved," EHS symptom. If a connection can be made between increased brain glucose metabolism and neurological EHS symptoms, then the Volkow study may prove to be another valuable piece of the puzzle surrounding mechanisms of possible non-thermal health effects associated with RF exposure.

Glucose on the Brain: Food for Thought...

Glucose, a simple sugar, is a primary food source for the body, especially for the brain. Our digestive systems break down carbohydrates into glucose molecules which are then carried through the blood to be escorted into cells by insulin. The amount of glucose in the blood affects the amount of insulin released by the pancreas, and ultimately affects overall hormonal balance in the body. Could a chronic increase in the metabolism of glucose in the brain eventually place a person at greater risk of insulin related health issues?

When we are “stressed,” our sympathetic nervous systems are activated and setting off physiological “fight or flight” responses, more glucose becomes available in the blood as a quick source of energy for the body. Increased glucose metabolism in the brain may indicate that cells respond to RF emissions as “stressors,” and that cellular stress response is the primary mechanism behind non-thermal effects.

Cancer cells thrive on sugar. They rely on anaerobic (i.e. without oxygen) respiration to break down glucose molecules into fuel. Could increased glucose metabolism in brain cells be linked to the development of brain cancer?

As the Volkow group concluded, more research is necessary to establish whether actual health risks are associated with increased brain glucose metabolism due to cell phone use. Given what we've just learned from this study, practicing precautionary cell phone (as well as cordless phone and WiFi) use seems the smartest option until we learn more about long-term effects. Use text messaging instead of calling, whenever possible, utilize the speakerphone function when making or receiving calls, and limit children's use to emergencies.

EMF Studies showing links between RF emissions and possible non-thermal health effects

Cell Phone Hazards: The End of an Era Part 2

2012-01-29T15:25:00.001-08:00

In Cell Phone Hazards: Part I, we discussed the safety standards surrounding cell phone radiation and why they are inadequate to protect us against risk of potential adverse health effects. In short, the standards:

Do not account for cell phone use by children and teens, who are generally more susceptible to health effects of radiation;
Do not protect against risk of non-thermal health effects;
Are outdated; and
May reflect industry bias.

In this article, we provide more detailed information about non-thermal effects associated with cell phone radiation and how they may be endangering your health. Exploration of non-thermal effects as possibilities, rather than certainties, provides a logical foundation for adopting a precautionary approach toward use of cell phones and other wireless technologies.

Why are Cell Phones Potentially Dangerous?

Cell phones emit electromagnetic radiation within the radio frequency (RF) range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which encompasses radio waves and microwaves. RF energy, which is also used for radio and television broadcasting, wireless internet use and microwave cooking, is non-ionizing energy. On the other end of the spectrum are Gamma-rays and X-rays, which emit ionizing energy. Ionizing energy is powerful enough to strip electrons from atoms and cause damaging health effects such as DNA mutations and cancer. While RF energy is non-ionizing, exposure to high levels of it can cause rapid heating of, and damage to, body tissues; this is the principle behind microwave cooking. Biological changes caused by quick tissue heating are known as “thermal” effects.

When establishing safety standards governing the amount of RF radiation cell phones may emit, regulatory organizations and agencies considered only the risk of thermal effects that cell phone radiation may have on our cells. Regulators did not take into account the risk of adverse health effects associated with “non-thermal” biological effects caused by exposure to lower levels of RF energy; the existing information on non-thermal effects was too complex and the relevance to human health too uncertain (ICNIRP Guidelines).

Just because cell phones are not “cooking” our brains and skulls, though, doesn’t mean they get a clean bill of health…

The Federal Communication Commission (FCC), the U.S. agency in charge of regulating cell phones and other consumer wireless devices, has acknowledged that, “in general, while the possibility of 'non-thermal' biological effects may exist, whether or not such effects might indicate a human health hazard is not presently known.” The agency continued by stating, “further research is needed to determine the generality of such effects and their possible relevance, if any, to human health" (OET Bulletin 56).

Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS)

Despite regulatory protection against thermal effects, a small, but significant, percentage of people have reported health problems that are believed to be caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF), for example from cell phone towers, WiFi and cordless phones. Authorities have labeled this group of people as having “electromagnetic hypersensitivity” or EHS. Common symptoms reported by people with EHS include heart palpitations, dizziness, nausea, digestive disturbances, fatigue, tiredness, difficulty concentrating, and skin irritation.

Cellular Stress Response

It’s quite possible that cellular stress response, which is thought to cause non-thermal biological effects, is at the root of the EHS phenomenon. In vitro studies suggest that, in response to low levels (i.e. below existing cell phone radiation standards) of RF energy, some of our cells produce stress proteins (heat shock proteins) as a protective mechanism, and thus perceive wireless radiation as a threat to cellular function. Cellular stress response activates DNA and protein synthesis, which demonstrates the possibility, if not proof, of altered cell physiology, or non-thermal biological effects.

As cellular stress response serves the body best as a short-term protective mechanism, chronic or continual stress response may result in diminished response and protective effect, which could increase cell vulnerability to damage. As such, researchers have hypothesized that chronic cellular stress response can eventually cause damaging non-thermal effects such as leakage of the blood-brain barrier and toxicity of the brain, suppression of the immune system, cardiac disturbances, DNA damage, and even cancer. As subtle as the wireless threat itself, non-thermal biological effects associated with it may begin as cell sensitivities which develop into greater systemic issues.

Wireless Emissions: A Subtle, yet Serious Threat

Compare EKG rhythms on the left, which show the heart’s electrical activity, to the audio waveform on the right.

We are bioelectrical beings by nature, and our hearts and nervous systems are especially vulnerable to electrical disturbances. Wireless radiation, with its non-harmonious jagged waveforms, can disturb our natural biorhythms. From a cardiac perspective, wireless radiation may affect the rate and rhythm of our heartbeats, which can cause arrhythmias, or heart palpitations; some complex or malignant arrythmias can lead to sudden death.

Heart rate variability is a measurement of the beat-to-beat alterations in heart rate, which can indicate whether a person is in a chronic state of sympathetic arousal, or overly stressed, and is used to help determine risk of cardiac events. New research indicates that use of a cordless phone can disturb HRV. Conversely, through a recent study on grounding researchers have learned that placing one's feet in direct contact with the Earth's electromagnetic field supports HRV (Chevalier, et al.). Serindipidously, the researchers also observed that grounding supports zeta potential, the electrical force bewteen red blood cells (RBCs), and that exposure to wireless radiation correlates with RBC stacking; remember that viscous blood increase one's risk of strokes or heart attacks. Wireless radiation may also interfere with our neurological electrical impulses, causing difficulty concentrating and other cognitive issues. These effects might be systemic manifestation of cellular stress response. (For more information about electromagnetic effects on HRV and blood viscosity, read Grounding for a Healthy Heart.)

Cellular Stress Response and the Blood-Brain Barrier

Scientists have also hypothesized that cell phone and other wireless radiation induces a stress response in human endothelial cells (which form the lining of blood vessels), which may compromise function of the blood-brain barrier. The blood-brain barrier performs a gatekeeper function by allowing nutrients and waste products into and out of brain cells while preventing toxins in the bloodstream from getting in. Impaired function of the blood-brain barrier, then, can lead to toxic permeation of the brain, which ultimately damages brain cells. Some researchers believe that this leakage underlies the alarming increase in autism over the last decade.

Immune System Dysfunction

Much like cellular stress response, the body’s immune system also reacts to wireless radiation as if it is a threat. Under currently permitted standards, RF emissions can cause inflammatory and allergic reactions. It follows that chronic exposure to cell phone and WiFi radiation could lead to health problems associated with inflammation. Inflammation, which can lead to cellular, tissue and organ damage over time, is now thought to be the primary precursor to most degenerative diseases. An immune system burdened with chronic inflammatory and allergic reactions lacks optimal resources with which to respond to other reparative tasks, which sets the stage for immune system dysfunction.

DNA Damage

DNA damage, which can be caused by a variety of factors including exposure to ionizing radiation and oxidative stress, is a primary cause of cancer. When DNA damage exceeds the body’s ability to repair it, the damaged cells can start reproducing themselves without eventually dying, causing the formation of tumors.

Mixed results from in vitro and animal model studies, have led researchers to hypothesize that cell phone radiation exposure could damage DNA and/or reduce its reparative ability. Slightly more than 50 percent of studies have demonstrated significant effects on DNA, while the rest have not. This split has resulted in some researchers advocating the precautionary principle, and others dismissing the hypothesis that low-level RF radiation can damage DNA. In the BioInitiative Report, Henri Lai, Ph.D explained that discrepancies in these study findings may occur as a result of different exposure conditions, as well as general differences in the way the particular cells or organisms studied respond to EMF.

As mentioned earlier, ionizing radiation can break chemical bonds within molecules, which damages DNA. Since cell phone radiation under current safety standards lacks sufficient energy to do this, researchers have theorized that any possible DNA damage is through indirect or secondary changes in cell physiology. One of the mechanisms by which cell phone radiation may lead to DNA damage is by enhancing free radical activity within cells, especially nerve cells.

The good news is, if cell phone radiation does increase free radical activity in cells, eating foods rich in, or supplementing with, antioxidants could help protect against possible DNA damage. It follows that grounding, which supplies the body with free electrons with which to counteract free radicals, could also help protect against the possible cancerous effects of cell phone radiation.

Obviously, more research is necessary to state with any certainty that cell phone radiation damages DNA; without conclusive proof that it doesn’t, though, isn’t precautionary use the smartest option?

Discrepancy about Standards Related to Thermal Heating

Cell phone radiation may also be dangerous under current Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) standards because of a basic misconception about the nature of thermal effects. SAR standards are based on the risk one’s entire body temperature increasing by more than 1 degree Celsius. As body temperature often fluctuates in this manner throughout the course of normal physiological processes, cell phone radiation which induces biological effects by raising body temperature up to 1 degree Celsius is considered harmless.

The problem with this standard is that it doesn’t account for localized heating of body tissues, such as in the brain, caused by cell phone radiation. Have you ever felt your ear or side of your face get hot when talking on your cell phone? You can bet the temperature of your entire body has not been similarly raised. As whole body heating happens gradually, your cells have time to generate protective responses; with localized heating, radiation can penetrate unprotected tissues. Hence, even under safety standards designed to protect against thermal effects, cell phone radiation may be causing them locally.

Rationalizing the Precautionary Principle

Cell phone use has indeed exploded over the past decade. In light of such widespread use, any health risks connected to cell phones pose threat of a public health crisis. The “weight of” existing studies does not prove either safety or adverse health effects associated with cell phone use, which has led to a general divide in thinking. While some people entirely dismiss evidence from studies which do link cell phone radiation to adverse health effects, others advocate the Precautionary Principle based on possibility of such effects, especially with regard to children.

Under the Precautionary Principle, the threat of plausible, serious and irreversible hazards to public health from exposure to particular environmental stimuli justify public policy action to reduce such exposure; even though scientific uncertainty or ignorance may preclude findings of a true hazard, waiting for such proof may be more damaging to public health in the long run. With cell phone and other wireless radiation, there is the possibility of adverse health effects under currently permitted standards, and RF radiation may actually alter cell physiology through a combination of thermal and non-thermal effects.

As health problems due to non-thermal and thermal effects can take years to fully develop, and regulatory agencies may take years to update the safety standards, practicing the precautionary principle by limiting exposure to cell phone and other radiation is simply a matter of common sense.

Cell Phone Hazards: The End of an Era Part 1

2012-01-29T15:10:00.000-08:00

Regulating Cell Phone Emissions (RF Energy)

As cell phones and cell phone base stations are considered transmitters regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the FCC is the federal agency that sets radio frequency (RF) energy exposure limits for cell phones on the market.¹ In August 1996, the FCC adopted limits for “safe” exposure to RF energy based on Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value, and began requiring cell phone manufacturers to comply with these limits before marketing their phones. SAR value is a measure of the rate at which body tissue absorbs RF energy when a person uses a cell phone. It is solely based on risk of “thermal effects,” or biological effects caused by the heating of bodily tissues. The FCC currently requires that wireless phones adhere to a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram.

Origins of SAR Value Standards

When establishing SAR limits, the FCC did not conduct any scientific research about the relative safety or harm of cell phone use. Instead, the FCC relied on recommendations made by two expert organizations, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, as well as opinions given by other federal agencies, like the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Seems thorough enough, right?But none of these organizations and agencies actually performed scientific research on the issue either; rather they based their recommendations and opinions on review of existing scientific literature documenting RF biological effects.

As multi-agency and organizational review of pre-1996 scientific literature is the basis for our current standards, it’s in our best interests to ask about the source of this research. While the U.S. Department of Defense has funded military research on the issue (radar and other high-powered radio transmitters involved in routine military operations utilize RF energy), much of the non-military research on the biological effects of RF energy has, unfortunately, been funded by industry organizations such as Motorola, Inc. Without significant scientific research from impartial sources, then, can we really trust exposure limits set by the FCC?

Why are Current Cell Phone Safety Standards Insufficient?

Current FCC SAR value regulations do not sufficiently protect us against potential health hazards for several reasons: (1) they are outdated and do not account for different rates of RF absorption by children and adolescents; (2) they do not account for possible non-thermal health effects; (3) SAR varies with proximity of source radiation; and (4) the standards may reflect industry bias.

1. The Standards are Outdated and Do Not Account For Use By Children and Teens

Cell phone usage patterns, as well as technologies, have changed dramatically since safety standards were established. Approximately four billion people worldwide are now using cell phones with more evolved technologies than those on the market in the 1980’s and 90’s. Industry experts estimate that cell phone use in the U.S. increased from 13 to 91 percent between 1995 and 2009.² While a rise in popularity of cell phones does not, in and of itself, render current SAR values obsolete, it seems to correlate with greater frequency of use, which does affect efficacy of the 1996 standard.

Over the past decade, adults and children alike have been spending more time conversing on cell phones. In 2003, average use among Americans increased by 19 percent: from 14 to 17 minutes per day. In 2008, minutes of use averaged almost 26 minutes per day.³ In a recent Kaiser Family Foundation study, American children (ages 8 to 18) averaged 33 minutes per day talking on their cell phones.⁴While we don’t know whether these minutes were used continuously or spread throughout the day on various calls, the amount is concerning when examined under the existing safety standard.

The 1996 standard reflects 6 minutes of (continuous) exposure to cell phone emissions by a large man. Since, in the Interphone Study, 30 minutes of daily useby adults was linked to increased risk of brain cancer, and experts believe children are at much greater risk than adults because their tissues are not yet fully developed, the rise in minutes of use among children is of serious concern. The current SAR standard desperately needs revision to reflect current usage patterns and technologies, as well as how RF emissions specifically affect children and teens.

Additionally, the 1996 standard was based on studies that could not have accounted for the latency of brain cancer (see Legislative Awareness of Cell Phone Safety). While brain cancer often takes decades to develop, cell phones were not available until at least the 1980’s. Studies conducted in the 1980’s and 90’s necessarily could not have been used to accurately assess cancer risk associated with cell phone use. More recent studies (if free of other methodological limitations and biases) might provide a more reliable determination of any link between cell phone use and cancer.

2. The Standards Do Not Account for Possible Non-Thermal Adverse Health Effects.

It is well known that exposure to ionizing (high frequency) RF energy can rapidly heat body tissues and cause serious biological effects like cancer. The current regulatory position is that cell phone towers, wireless Internet, cordless phones, power lines and other sources of RF emissions (including microwave ovens) generally do not expose people to high enough levels of RF energy to cause thermal, or ionizing, effects. Current safety standards, which are founded on possible risk of thermal effects, do not account for possible “non-thermal effects”associated with exposure to low-frequency RF energy, then.

A small, but significant, portion of the general population has reported suffering from “electromagnetic hypersensitivity,” or EHS, a condition characterized by non-specific symptoms (i.e., they are not associated with any other syndrome) which the afflicted person attributes to sources of electromagnetic fields (EMF) such as cell phones. Some of the more common symptoms include heart palpitations, digestive problems, difficulty concentrating, tiredness, fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, and nausea, as well as skin redness, tingling, and burning sensations of the skin. While EHS is not a medical diagnosis, the World Health Organization has recognized it as a potentially disabling condition with real symptoms which can “vary widely in their severity.” Authorities recognize that EHS affects quality of life, even if, at this point, it is not considered part of the development of any degenerative diseases.

In light of the prevalence of EHS symptoms, scientists have theorized that exposure to RF energy at currently permitted standards induces a stress response in cells. Hypothetically, this stress response could cause adverse biological changes such as compromised function of the blood-brain barrier, DNA damage and suppression of the immune system. To conclusively make such determinations, though, for the purpose of reevaluating SAR value standards, more in vitro and experimental (as opposed to epidemiological) research is needed.

The FCC acknowledges, “in general, while the possibility of 'non-thermal' biological effects may exist, whether or not such effects might indicate a human health hazard is not presently known. Further research is needed to determine the generality of such effects and their possible relevance, if any, to human health.^"5

3. The Standards Do Not Account for Proximity to Source of RF energy.

Regardless of the SAR value of our phones, we face greater exposure to RF radiation when we call people while our cell phone signals are low. When we make calls, signals are sent from our cell phone antennas to the nearest base station antennas. Therefore, RF exposure generally increases the further away we are from base station antennas because more power is required maintain the connections. If we are using cell phones while in rural areas or within the confines of our cars, for example, we will be exposed to more RF energy than if in a city full of cell phone towers and antennas. Because RF emissions vary with the location of the base station, then, SAR value of individual phones may not be a reliable predictor of harm or safety.

4. The Standards May Reflect Industry Bias

There is speculation that the current SAR standard demonstrates bias toward the cell phone industry due to source of funding. In 1999, the FCC acknowledged that “much of the non-military research on biological effects of RF energy in the U.S. is being funded by industry organizations such as Motorola, Inc.”⁶ Since the agencies and organizations the FCC consulted when determining its safety standards derived their opinions and recommendations from scientific literature which had been predominantly industry funded, it follows that current safety standards may reflect favor toward the cell phone industry.

Reducing Unnecessary Risk of RF Exposure

Current regulatory standards for cell phones, set forth in 1996, need to be revised to reflect changes in cell phone technology and usage patterns, possible non-thermal health effects, and other factors affecting reliability of SAR value as a measure of cell phone “safety.” Understandably, the FCC won’t change the SAR value standard for manufacturers until scientists and other experts agree on the actual health risks of cell phone use. Hence, until science gets the facts straight and the government gets up to speed with regulation, we need to take matters into our own hands…we need to act with precaution until we know what the actual risks are.

In response to concerns about cell phone health risks, the FCC has started suggesting precautionary measures to limit cell phone radiation exposure, including:

· Using a headset (HMDI recommends a wired one with an air tube);

· Keeping wireless devices away from the body when they are on;

· Using the speakerphone function;

· Texting rather than talking (but not while driving); and

· Buying a cell phone with a lower SAR value.⁷

HMDI also suggests turning off the phone when not using it for calls or text, using a landline whenever possible and limiting children’s use to emergencies.

Adverse Health Effects from Electromagnetic Fields

2012-01-29T10:40:00.000-08:00

Many studies show a connection between exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and adverse health effects; many do not, preventing across-the-board conclusions about health risks associated with use of wireless technologies such as cellular and cordless phones, WiFi or baby monitors. Below is just a few of the studies which demonstrate a nexus between EMF and adverse health effects and/or the development of thermal or non-thermal effects which may lead to sickness and disease.

Hay esperanza

There is hope

En este número el “viaje de descubrimiento” de la salud de nuestra detective nos lleva a California, al Centro de Milagros pH del Dr. Young, donde le ponen al día sobre la Nueva Biología, y descubre un caso que ilustra cuan potente es para tratar la enfermedad.

Scott, de 34 años y australiano, padecía desde hacía 10 años de colitis ulcerosa, una grave enfermedad inflamatoria del intestino, con síntomas que incluían fuerte dolor de estómago y diarrea con sangre varias veces al día. Le habían visto muchos especialistas y le habían tratado con medicinas antiinflamatorias inmunodepresoras y corticosteroides que, mientras pretendían aliviarle los síntomas, le habían dejado efectos tóxicos duraderos en el cuerpo. Finalmente los médicos sugirieron cirugía para quitarle el colon y, después de tantos años con dolor, asintió, sabiendo que tendría que vivir con una bol

sa de colostomía para el resto de su vida, un escenario no ideal cuando tienes veintitantos años. Sin embargo, en la mañana de la cirugía se despertó con la sensación de que no era lo correcto para él, canceló la operación y empezó a buscar alternativas. Al tiempo oyó hablar del Dr. Young y decidió ir a California a recibir tratamiento. El primer análisis de sangre, como era de esperar, reveló daños graves al intestino. Sin histor

ial de la enfermedad en su familia consideramos temas emocionales y la llegada de Scott coincidió con un seminario de 4 días sobre Vida Sana y Sanación Emocional con Shelley y Robert Young y John Gray, autor del libro “Marte y Venus en el dormitorio”. Scott estaba dispuesto a trabajar con las pautas emocionales y se metió de lleno en la tarea, y esta limpieza emocional fue una parte importante de su rápida y profunda recuperación.

También le prepararon un programa intenso de dos semanas para regenerar su función intestinal y limpiar las toxinas del cuerpo. La comida que se servía en el rancho era muy diferente de lo que estaba acostumbrado, le pusieron una dieta líquida alcalina, toda su comida era líquida para que el estómago y el intestino no tuvieran que trabajar; podían descansar, restablecerse y sanarse. Un zumo fresco de apio, pepino, espinaca y aguacate cada mañana, puré verde para almorzar y cenar, y todo el zumo, leche de almendra y batidos que quería durante el día. Uno de los pilares del programa Milagro del pH es la hidratación, por lo que cada día bebía 6 litros de agua alcalina rica en electrones con polvo verde concentrado, así como una botella de clorofila líquida para mejorar la sangre. Esta cantidad de líquido ayuda a híper impregnar el tejido con agua alcalina para neutralizar la acidez y limpiar. Cada abertura y poro se utilizó par

a meter nutrientes en el cuerpo y ayudarlo a limpiarse. Un nebulizador ayudó a que pote

ntes antioxidantes entraran en sangre a través de los pulmones, un baño de sal y una sauna de infrarrojos ayudó a eliminar toxinas por la piel, y se diseñó un baño de pies ionizado para estimular la circulación y sacar las toxinas por los pies. Una hora de yoga cada mañana, aeróbic y estiramientos mantuvieron los procesos en movimiento. Una máquina vibratoria de ejercicios para todo el cuerpo trabajó con los sistemas linfático y circulatorio durante 10 minutos dos veces al día, y la cama elástica activó cada célula y limpió las toxinas de tejidos y músculos. Un masaje linfático diario también ayudó a sacar y limpiar las toxinas de los tejidos. Para Scott uno de los tratamientos más importantes fue la hidroterapia de colon, que se hace con minerales alcalinos y sales así como agentes fortalecedores de la sangre como la clorofila. El colon se usa para absorber agua y nutrientes que es otra forma de hidratar el cuerpo.

El programa requiere compromiso a tiempo completo para hacerlo todo, pero Scott se aplicaba por completo, se levantaba temprano para preparar su agua y suplementos antes del ejercicio y disfrutaba de cada momento. Cuando se le preguntaba si el programa le resultaba difícil, sonreía y decía: “Bueno, la alternativa es el bisturí del cirujano...” Después de unos días el dolor de estómago se calmó y aunque había olas de síntomas desintoxicantes tipo gripe, cansancio e ir mucho al baño, después de dos semanas de tratamiento intenso se sintió francamente bien y su sangre mostró una mejora increíble. [Ver las fotos de antes y después]. Scott ya ha vuelto a Australia, siguiendo el programa y comiendo mayormente comida líquida con trozos

de aguacate, pepino y ensaladas. Se siente muy bien, está contento de estar vivo y agradecido de que tener un colon sano. Incluso para la gente que tiene temas de salud graves... hay esperanza.

This issue our health detective’s“journey of discovery” the cornerstones of the pH Miracle program is to

in health takes us to California, to Dr. Young’s pH Miracle Centre, where she gets the latest updates on New Biology, and finds one case in particular that illustrates how powerful it can be at treating disease.

Scott, a 34 year old from Australia, had been suffering from Ulcerative Colitis a serious Inflammatory Bowel Disease for 10 years, with symptoms including severe stomach pain and bloody diarrhea up to 20 times per day. He had been seen by many specialists and had serious treatments with anti-inflammatory immunosuppressant drugs and corticosteroids which, while intending to relieve the symptoms had left a long lasting toxic effect on the body. Eventually the doctors suggested surgery to take out his colon, and after so many years in pain he signed up for it, knowing that he would have to live with a colostomy bag for the rest of his life – not an ideal scenario when you are in your twenties. However, on the morning of the surgery he woke up with a sensation that this was not right for him, cancelled the surgery and began searching for alternatives. He finally

heard about Dr. Young and decided to go to California to get treated. The first blood test, as expected, revealed serious damage to the bowels. With no history of the illness in his family we also considered emotional issues, and Scott’s arrival coincided with a 4 day seminar about Healthy Life and Emotional Healing with Shelley and Robert Young and John Gray, author of the book “Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus”. Scott was so ready to work with emotional patterns he just dived into it, and this emotional clearing was a major part of his quick and profound recovery.

He was also put on an intense two week programme to build up his intestinal functions and clean out the waste in the body. The food served at the ranch was very different to what he was used to - he was put on a liquid alkaline cleanse, all his food

was literally liquid so that there was no work for the stomach and intestines, they could rest, restore and heal. A fresh pressed green juice of celery, cucumber and spinach and avocado shake every morning, green puréed soup for lunch and dinner, and all the juice, almond milk and shakes he wanted during the day. One must hydrate, so he drank 6 litres of alkaline electron-rich water with concentrated green powder every day, as well as a bottle of liquid chlorophyll to build up the blood. This amount of liquid helps to hyper-infuse the tissue with alkaline water to neutralize the acidity and cleanse. Every opening and pore was used for getting nutrients into the body to help the cleansing. A nebulizer helped powerful antioxidants to get into the blood through the lungs, a salt bath and Infrared sauna helped to eliminate waste through the skin, and an ionized foot bath was designed to stimulate circulation and move toxins out through the feet. An hour of Young Yoga every morning, a mix of aerobic and stretch exercises, kept all the processes moving. A whole body vibration exercise machine worked the lymphatic and circulatory system twice a day for 10 minutes, and trampolining got every cell in the body moving and cleared out waste products in the tissue and muscles. A daily lymphatic massage also helped to get the toxins from the tissues moving and cleared out. For Scott one of the most important treatments was the daily colonic hydrotherapy, which is done with alkaline minerals and salts as well blood building agents, like chlorophyll, added. In this kind of Colon Hydrotherapy the colon is used to absorb water and nutrients, another way of hydrating the body.

The programme takes commitment, and it is a full time job to do everything, but Scott was completely dedicated, getting up early to prepare his water and supplements before exercise and enjoying every moment. When asked if he found it hard to follow the program he smiled and said: “Well, the alternative is the surgeon’s knife...” After only a few days he felt the stomach pain easing, and although there were waves of detox symptoms with flu-like symptoms, tiredness and using the bathroom a lot, after two weeks of intense treatment he felt really good and his blood showed an amazing improvement. Scot is back in Australia now, following the programme and eating mainly liquid food with pieces of avocado, cucumber and salads. He is feeling really good and is happy to be alive and thankful that he now has a healthy colon. Even for people with serious health issues... there is hope.

Father of Physiologic Surgery Validates Dr Young's Research

2012-01-27T11:02:00.000-08:00

Dr. George W. Crile, the father of physiologic surgery, formally recognized as the first surgeon to have succeeded in a direct blood transfusion, and co-founder of the world-famous Cleveland Clinic, stated: "There is no such thing as natural death. All deaths from so-called natural causes are merely the endpoint of progressive acid saturation." Dr. Geroge W. Crile's research validates Dr Robert O Young's work when he states, "all sickness, disease and death is the result of an over-acidification of the blood and then tissues due to an inverted way of living, eating and thinking."

How Too Much Cheese and Meat Can Make Your Body Dangerously Acidic/Sick

2012-01-26T13:55:00.001-08:00

How too much cheese and meat can make your body dangerously acidic

Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2008851/How-cheese-meat-make-body-dangerously-acidic.html#ixzz1kbXGgjyS

Eating meat of any kind is harmful to the blood and tissues and leads to sickness and dis-ease.

The stomach creates and equal amount of sodium bicarbonate to alkalize the food you eat with an equal amount of the highly toxic acid, hydrochloric acid, as a waste product. The stomach is an organ of contribution and its main contribution is to maintain the alkaline design of the blood and tissues by alkalizing the acids from the food we eat to the energy we use.

Dr. Young has rewritten modern physiology with the understanding that the human body is alkaline by design and acidic by function. ALL sickness and disease is the result of acidic lifestyle and dietary choices. All health and fitness is achieved through an alkaline lifestyle and diet of green foods, green drinks, healthy polyunsaturated oils, alkaline water, mineral salts, daily exercise and minimized emotional stress.

For more information on Dr. Young's revolutionary science read, Sick and Tired and his new book, The pH Miracle Revised and Updated.

Ten Good Reasons To Avoid Vaccination

2011-12-31T19:23:00.000-08:00

Here are the 10 biggest vaccine news stories of 2011, reported on NaturalNews.com:

#1 - Japanese children die from vaccines

Yet more evidence emerges of the deadly side effects of vaccines:
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory?id=13073863#.Tv_STs0sZCM

#2 - U.S. government recruits churches to push flu shots on congregation members

Take that flu shot, or you'll go to Hell! That's the new message the U.S. government is trying to pound into the heads of church pastors and priests:
http://www.naturalnews.com/034394_c...

#3 - Top CDC vaccine scientist indicted for fraud

You probably never read this story elsewhere, but one of the CDC's top researchers was indicted for allegedly stealing vaccine research money and using it to buy fancy vehicles and a luxury home:
http://theintelhub.com/2011/04/23/top-government-vaccine-researcher-indicted-for-fraud-austism-research-now-in-question/

#4 - IOM admits MMR vaccines cause seizures and measles

In a groundbreaking report, the Institute of Medicine openly admitted that vaccines actually cause the very measles they claim to prevent. The mainstream media, of course, misreported this research and utterly failed to cover the real story.
http://www.amazon.com/forum/health?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1EO24KZG65FCB&cdThread=Tx39V59MGHXXRX9

#5 - CDC openly admits flu vaccines don't work

Here's news you don't see every day: The CDC openly admits that vaccine flu shots "wear off," meaning they simply do not work in the way vaccine-pushing immunologists told us they did.

#6 - Merck vaccine scientist Dr. Maurice Hilleman admits vaccines contain cancer-causing viruses

The actual admission happened decades ago, but news of it only went viral in 2011 as alternative news websites like NaturalNews publicized the once-secret audio recordings revealing shocking admissions by Dr. Maurice Hilleman.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaokq8v9JPI

#7 - HPV vaccines found contaminated with HPV!

Pretty clever, huh? Just lace the HPV vaccines with the DNA of HPV itself, and you can spread the disease to create more fear that sells more vaccines!
http://sanevax.org/gardasil-hpv-vaccines-found-contaminated-with-recombinant-hpv-dna/

#8 - Swine flu vaccine admittedly causes neurological disorders

2011 was the year that the nation of Finland openly admitted on the record that swine flu vaccines "conclusively" cause neurological disorders. It then offered to pay the lifetime medical costs of those damaged by such vaccines.

Remember, the USA continues to absurdly claim that vaccines cause NO damage (not to anyone) and are perfectly safe for infants, children and even pregnant women!

#9 - Science says flu vaccines only work on 1 out of 100

Now, even the scientists can't argue with their own science, can they? Rigorous studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals reveal that flu vaccines hardly work at all and are wasted on 98.5 out of 100 people who take them.

#10 - Hallmark caught distributing flu shot compliance cards to new moms

Yes, even the Hallmark card company is now pushing vaccines. Plotting alongside state agencies in Florida, Colorado and elsewhere, the company pushes out cutesy flu shot "compliance" cards that urge new moms to have their newborn babies injected with dozens of combination vaccines, complete with mercury and chemical adjuvants that cause neurological disorders.

Dr Young Loves Apples!

2011-12-29T15:43:00.000-08:00

I love apples. I love their crunch. I love their texture. I love their sweet taste. And, I love apples because they are a whole raw organic food. My Mother put an apple in my lunch sack for school. I have only fond memories of apples.

What I do not love about apples is they cause the blood to hypercoagulate or stick together causing oxygen deprivation and circulation problems to the extremeties. The sugars in apples are in excess of their alkalizing minerals causing blood and tissue acidosis contributing to all sickness and disease. The sugars in apples will cause paralysis of the white blood cells for over five hours. The sugars in apples will cause a depressed person to become more depressed. An anemic person to become more anemic. A fat person to gain more weight. A thin person to lose more weight. A cancerous person to become more cancerous. A person with osteoarthritis or porosis to experience more pain and to lose more calcium ions into the blood to maintain the delicate alkaline pH of the blood plasma and other body fluids.

I rarely eat apples and only if I am seriously hungry and when there is nothing else to eat that is raw or natural.

All of my patients are taken off all sweet fruit, including apples.

Apples do not build stem cells and therfore do not build blood or tissues.

The old adage, 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away' is a scientific myth. An apple a day keeps the doctor in buisness.

I am sure you are thinking that my statements are extreme. But I disagree! Cancer is extreme! Osteoporosis is extreme! Immune deficiencies are extremes! Diabetes is extreme!

All sugars are metabolic waste products! They are the exhaust from energy consumption. The body runs on electrons NOT sugar. The brain runs on electrons NOT sugar. It does not matter the source of sugar - all sugars are toxic just like cocaine is toxic. They both will make you high and they both will cause paralysis, sickness, disease and premature death.

Chronic Fatique Syndrome/ME/FM - A Call For Research To Find A Cure!

2011-12-12T18:40:00.000-08:00

Monday, December 12, 2011

Scott Carlson, CFI Executive Director
Chronic Fatigue Initiative
New York City, New York

I was so pleased to read that the Hutchins Family Foundation has the interest and motivation to support research for CFID/ME/FM. It is a devastating illness.

I am writing to inquire with all seriousness to see if this Foundation can in any way support a research project based in the world of Alternative Medicine. I was diagnosed with CFIDS in 1987, though I was documented with malaise in 1985. My pursuit was directed into holistic approaches early on because there was nothing in the medical world available. I saw Scott M. Hammer, M.D. in late 1985 at the Deaconess Hospital in Boston, MA, for a second opinion.

My prognosis was not good. I was devastatingly ill at the age of 33, there was nothing that could be done and I was expected to “live”. I was forced by this condition to be virtually immobile 96% of the time for 5-7 years. My muscles atrophied to the point that my muscles could not hold my skeletal structure in place. I was plague with nearly 50 symptoms that waxed and waned leaving me praying to die. The pain that accompanied this condition was often times unbearable, I felt tortured by my own body. Over the years, I experienced improvements with several holistic/alternative practices.

In 2004/2005, I became aware of the research of Robert O. Young, PhD, DSc. of The pH Miracle Center in Valley Center, California. After attending a lecture he gave in March of 2005 at Harvard University, I was so convinced that he was credible and based his findings on solid science, that I began applying just the dietary changes he recommended and in about 1 year I experienced enough improvement that I liquidated some of my retirement account and flew to the ranch to study the science behind his research. I had to do this because I felt so fragile and I needed the understanding to help keep me focused with knowledge about how to create wellness in my body. The quality of my life has improved immensely. Since everything I have done is paid for out of pocket, I have reached the point where I do not feel I can complete my healing process due to finances.
I would love to collaborate in setting up a research project based on the research of Dr. Young to bring validation to what I have experienced, to complete my own healing and to hopefully bring relief to so many who have suffered for so long. I am trained as a Nutritional Microscopist by Dr. Young and feel that I could make a contribution to the CFIDS/ME/FM community that is worth funding. This collaborative would also need the expertise of other holistic practitioners.

I have no medical training. I have no training in research. However, I have 26 years experience living with CFIDS/ME/FM and finding my way back towards health. I do know the value of recording and documenting results. I have all my medical records since the onset of CFIDS/ME/FM on May 20, 1985.

I have a Double Major - BA in Mathematics and Secondary Education and a minor in Computer Sciences from my undergraduate studies.

CFS Central: The Chronic Fatigue Initiative website states, “CFI will offer grants to fund new research guided by five or six general hypotheses formed by a scientific advisory board of leading scientists and clinicians.”

I propose that CFI authorize a CFHI, Chronic Fatigue Holistic Initiative, division and collaborate with myself and Dr. Young to create a Scientific Advisory Board of Leading Alternative thinking scientists and clinicians. This would primarily be a non-pharmaceutical approach to healing CFIDS/ME/FM. This would be New Research.

Chronic Fatigue Initiative: …..“Through the CFI-sponsored research, we hope to clearly define the causes of the disease.” I believe that Dr. Young’s research can answer this question scientifically. I am living proof.

Certainly this effort would need to be in collaboration with Medical Doctors. Markers could be studied throughout the project, however traditional research would need not to drive the research. And due to the numerous health conditions that CFIDS/ME/FM hosts, monitoring of blood chemistry and any other needed patient specific monitoring and tracking would need to be in place.

I have prayed for this type of possibility to become available.

Dr. Young, www.phmiracleliving.com would need to be a primary consultant in this project. I would be happy to answer any of your questions that I am able to.

In conclusion, what I know to be true now that I have been able to read and absorb current CFIDS/ME/FM information is that my correct diagnosis should have been ME/CFIDS/FM with 50+ symptoms. I would appreciate a response that includes:

• How my request can become one of the five or six general hypotheses

• What information I would need to provide to satisfy the above request

• An openness from the Board to hear the science behind Dr. Young’s work

• Any other criteria that I would need to address

• What resources the Board would need to bring this request to fruition

Sincerely,

Elizabeth C Potter (Libby Potter)

Rick Goode Testimonal

I wanted to take a moment and thank you so much for helping me achieve what I felt was impossible. I started a 12 week challenge to lose as much weight and gain as much muscle as possible. I started the challenge at 24% body fat and ended at 6.8%.

My success was directly linked to the mental preparedness that you helped me with. With your help, I was able to focus more clearly and have the discipline I needed to lose 31 pounds of fat and at the same time gain 11 pounds of muscle in just 90 days!

In addition, I was able to be injury free as a result of my inner mind warning me when I was on the verge of training too hard. My biggest challenge was eating right. As a result of the mental shift you helped me create; I now view food as a tool to help me accomplish my goals, not a relaxant after a stressful day.

Thanks for a great mental tune up. It worked!

No More Ulcerated Colitis - Gone After Ten Years of Suffering!

2011-12-10T17:08:00.000-08:00

The picture is of Scott William (34 years old) from Sydney, Australia and Dr Young. Scott was diagnosed with Ulcerated Colitis ten years ago. He has been in chronic pain for over ten years. Just two weeks ago the Doctors told him that his bowel condition was so dire that he needed to have his large bowel entirely removed and replaced with a coloscopy bag. He immediately decided to fly all the way from Australia to come to the pH Miracle Center at the Rancho del Sol as his last hope for a reversal of his condition. Within 3 days at the Ranch while living the pH Miracle Lifestyle he was completely out of pain. The best news of all - within 12 days NO MORE ulcerated colitis. The pictures behind us show the blood before with the polymerized proteins in the center of the blood layer indicating the ulcerated and inflammatory bowel and the after picture showing no more ulcers or inflammation. Scott is feeling fantastic and excercising everyday for 1 hour. He loves his new lifestyle and he is elated that he avoided a life altering surgery.

I Dropped Acid on Thanksgiving

2011-11-25T14:15:00.000-08:00

I ATE and DRANK too MUCH 'ACID' on THANKSGIVING!

The following are Holiday Season lifestyle and dietary conditions (called dis-eases by allopathic medicine) for which I have given new names:

1) "Traveler's Acidic Consequence" is a result of the sum total consumption and behaviors of a traveler during their more unusual or some what different from normal lifestyle than when they were not traveling. A typical traveler's day will upset one's normal metabolism and alkalizing digestive habits. They eat and drink different foods at different times and different volumes than usual, which creates an over-acidic state and a need for more alkaline buffers (bicarbonates likepHour salts) leading to indigestion, nausea, acid reflux, heartburn, belching, flatulence, vomiting, constipation, dehydration and further problems of acidity, depending on the degree of irregularity. "Traveler's Acidic Consequence" is commonly blamed by allopathic medical science on a particular site on the traveler's path as if he/she caught something. This current medical ideology is based on Pasteur's illusionary germ theory and is a scientific myth. The true cause of this condition is the result of the traveler's acidic lifestyle dietary choices and the lack of alkaline hydration, nutrition and hygiene that can result in this over-acidic condition. All the above symptoms is the body in preservation mode trying its best to re-establish the alkaline pH of the internal environment at 7.365 to 7.4.

2) Holiday Season - "I Ate and Drank Too Much 'Acid Food' Dis-Ease" is a result of the sum total consumption and behaviors of a person during the Holiday season eating and drinking everything in site from "swine to wine." This over indulgence may cause belching and flatulence and eventual heart burn, acid reflux, nausea, constipation and even brain, breast, lung, liver and bowel parasites for which medical science will often prescribe the purple pill. This Holiday Season condition may then lead to the third Holiday Season consequence -

3) "Holiday Season Food Drunkedness" is a result of over-eating and over-drinking acidic foods and liquids and then falling into a drunken state on the sofa or bed for several hours or even days to sleep off all the excess acidity. Falling asleep after a heavy acidic Holiday meal is a common occurrence for acid over-eaters and acid drinkers.

4) "Holiday Season Influenza" (The Flu) is a result of the sum total consumption and behaviors of a person during a so-called Holiday acid feast. A person will consume acidic foods and drinks that they may not know or know that are not healthy or alkalizing, i.e., more sugar or sugar substitutes than normal, alcohol, meats (especially the tape and fluke worm favorites such as pork, beef, turkey, chicken and fish (especially raw fish) and much of this at greater volumes than normal. This person becomes detrimentally influenced physically and emotionally by Holiday acidic foods and drinks. According to medical savants, "Holiday Season Influenza" is commonly blamed on a particular virus contracted from another person(s) and not from acidic lifestyle and dietary choices of that person. Like the acidic traveler, a person chooses to consume on their own as many acidic foods and drinks during the Holiday Season and as a result are suffering from the consequences of their poor dietary acidic choices -- this condition is not from some phantom (does not exist) flu virus! The flu is nothing more than the body increasing body temperature to improve circulation to remove excess acidity through perspiration, respiration, defecation and urination.

Also, please keep in mind it doesn't take either traveling or Holidays for someone to express the symptoms of "Traveler's Acidic Consequence,"and/or "I Ate and Drank Too Much 'Acid Food' Disease," and/or "Holiday Season Food Drunk," and/or "Holiday Season Influenza." All you need to do is consume excessive amounts of acidic meats (especially pork,turkey and chicken), chocolate, ice cream, cake, alcohol or other acidic mind boggling thrillers. Any of these four non-contagious lifestyle and dietary conditions can happen anytime during the year. But,the Holiday Season seems to be the time when most people over-indulge in highly acidic lifestyles and diets!

This coming Holiday Season may you resolve not to succumb to the acidic choices that lead to "Traveler's Acidic Consequence," or "I Ate and Drank Too Much 'Acid Food' Dis-ease," "Holiday Season Food Drunk" and/or"Holiday Season Influenza."

In love and healing alkaline light,

Dr. Robert O. Young

PS This year before sitting down to a highly acidic Holiday Season meal, watch the following youtube video. You cannot kill parasites with heat. All you can do is put them to sleep and risk them waking up inside your body. Also, watching this video might change your mind about eating that left-over Thanksgiving ham or even urine laced turkey. It is by no coincidence that turkey and chicken are referred to as "foul." Birds like turkey and chicken have no urinary tract system and are therefore more likely to adsorb their own urine into their tissues. But, that's what makes them so juicy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYvxbhIOuEo

PSS I hope we can all learn to take responsibility for our own lifestyle and dietary choices and the consequences we may experience rather then blaming it or transferring personal responsibility to a phantom or harmless virus - like the Swine Flu virus, Ebola virus, HIV virus, HPV virus, West Nile virus, Bird flu virus, Spanish Flu, N1H1, Turkey Flu, Pig Flu and the list goes on and on and on! So-called viruses DO NOT cause sickness or disease - our acidic lifestyle and diet choices do!

You do health by making healthy choices or you can do sickness and disease by making unhealthy lifestyle and dietary choices. Making acidic lifestyle and dietary choices the last 3 months of the year can take 10 yearsoff your life at age 40 and 20 years off your life at age 80.

You can live a healthy and fit life to 100 and beyond if you will make better alkaline lifestyle and dietary choices NOW!

PSSS To learn how to prevent (without an acidic dis-easecausing vaccine) "Holiday Season Influenza,"may I suggest watching the following DVD's or listening to the following CD's: The pH Miracle - Full version Shopping with Shelley 1 & 2, Back to the House of Health 2, The pH Miracle for Healthy Weight Loss, The pH Miracle for Men and Women, The pH Miracle for Cancer, The Harvard Lecture, Younga Yoga Vol I and II, Cooking with Shelley and our latest book, The pH Miracle Revised and Updated.

My Hope and Prayer This Thanksgiving and Holiday Season

2011-11-23T12:57:00.000-08:00

This Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday we now find ourselves as a nation and as a planet, in quite a bit of political, economic, health and enviornmental disarray. We are all looking for ways to make ends meet and cut down on the stress in our lives. So I will address these issues.

My guess is that many of you feel some sort of concern about financial issues whether it is the daily budget, dwindling savings, credit card bills, money for college bills, mileage and gas prices for the aging family automobiles, and so on. Its the same at the Young homestead here at Rancho Del Sol. Every year I pray for more rain and try to figure out how to save money on the expensive California water we need for thousands of avocado and grapefruit trees. I am always trying to figure out where to save money so I can use that money to reach more people around the world with a pH Miracle message of health and well-being.

If you read my email letters on a regular basis, you will know that I am quite positive that following a healthy, organic, alkaline diet with many raw, green vegetables will save you money over time and best of all perserve you life from sickness and disease.

Whether you have 50 more years to live or 25, most medical expenses have traditionally occurred in the later years of life. And those expenses can be a thing of the past. Once your body is alkaline, and once you have rebuilt your blood with my C.O.W.S. program, and once the pH of your urine is around 7.4 on a consistent basis, you are well on your way to permanently increased health and vigor as well as great financial savings.

Remember, the #1 reason for bankruptcy in America for many years has been medical bills. That will not happen to you. I hear from people all the time that pretty much the only reason they visit the doctor anymore is to gloat a bit, to follow-up on some old ailment now in the rear-view mirror, to lecture the poor old besieged doc on the importance of nutrition in health, or to give him a copy of The pH Miracle book. By the way, if you write to me and tell me that you really did get your doctor to read The pH Miracle book that Shelley and I wrote, I'll send you a free copy to replace the one you gave to your physician. I will also be fascinated to hear your story. In fact, I may share it with everybody in one of these emails.

Many people who have been following a balanced pH 80/20 alkaline/acid diet for many years tell us about all the different ways they save money. Some people have replaced their health insurance with a combination of self-insurance, accident insurance, a hospital indemnity policy, and disability programs. Some people on Medicare have not purchased the supplemental insurance because they have not visited the former family physician for several years and are hoping not to for the rest of their lives. Besides, they tell me, they aren't likely to go the drug route anyway now that they know the cucumber and avocado route.

Many have told us that they have saved money because they no longer have doctor visits, co-pays, pharmaceutical drugs, deductibles, tests, clinic and lab fees, medical gadgets, lost time and sick days, and so on. Not to mention the increased energy, creativity, and productivity.

Now lets talk about emotional stress. About two years ago, I emailed you an article about Mother Theresa whose level of consciousness allowed her to function in love, joy, peace and enlightenment. Many of you said that you enjoyed that article. Such states of mind--whether they are linked to experiences that are primarily sensory, emotional, psychological, intellectual or spiritual--can only be accompanied by an absence of stress at the physiological or body level.

If you read my emails with any consistency, then you know that there is a solid scientific link between the mind and the body (especially the bowels), the psychosomatic or the "somatopsychic." It goes both ways. We started hearing the world psychosomatic at least 40 or 50 years ago. The mind can cause the body to suffer and the body (the bowels) can cause the mind to suffer. Therefore, it makes good sense to take care of both.

I have discussed from time to time the importance of minimizing emotional stress in our lives. When our minds are filled with thoughts and feelings that include the negative perceptions and experiences of fear, anger and sadness, we are vulnerable to the creation of excessive bodily acid. Toxic acids are actually secreted from various parts of the body directly into the bloodstream when we are in a negative emotional state.

On the other hand, leading a life that includes more experiences in what we might call the love zone can be a challenge. I forget who coined the word love zone, but this state of being includes feelings of affection, joy, compassion, empathy, kindness, happiness and bliss. But living in this zone--you may have noticed--is easier said than done. The world seems so often to pull mightily at the most vulnerable areas of our lives. Our preoccupation with the outer world and things over which we have no control can keep us from entering into those precious moments or hours in the stress-free love zone.

There is one thing in particular that we can do to help us frequent this zone as much as possible. And I will back into this concept with a little story which I enjoy. I call this the 1,000 avocados for God story. It goes like this:

A plantation owner, somewhat foolishly accustomed to bartering with God, prayed for a good harvest. He pleaded thusly: "Dear God, if You would please bring me a great avocado harvest, as a service I will give You 1,000 avocados from the harvest."God granted him a great harvest.

Thus, the plantation owner loaded up a thousand avocados in his wagon and had his foreman deliver them to the temple. Along the way, the foreman was pestered by two little beggar boys who pleaded for an avocado to ward off their hunger. "Shoo, shoo, go away," said the foreman, knowing that the plantation owner had loaded exactly 1,000 avocados.

The hungry little boys ran alongside the wagon and continued to beg. Finally, the hired hand relented and gave each of them an avocado. He thought to himself, who would count all these avocados and know that two are missing from a thousand?

But the plantation owner had warned the chief overseer of the temple to count the avocados to make sure that the foreman had not sold some along the way. He found out that two were missing and had been given to beggars and the plantation owner fired the foreman. That night the plantation owner had a dream. In his dream, God came to him and said, I have granted your prayer for a great harvest, but you have not kept your agreement.

The plantation owner pleaded his case, But God, I took the avocados to you just as I said. God replied, Well, I am sorry that you are in error my friend, because so far, I have received only two. I think you can see why I enjoy this story. And it has many implications far beyond the simple notion that Divine Providence and charity are related. In fact, we might say that Divine Providence resonates to charity.

There is a great deal of emerging evidence and a wonderful new area of study which says that there is a human field of energy which is very subtle, yet powerful, pervasive and immortal.

There is a field of energy which connects every one of us to every one of us. Some refer to this energy as levels of consciousness--and the study of this energy focuses especially on various states of higher consciousness.Regardless of our personal level of consciousness, we are not only connected to this field of energy, but we are influencing it just as it influences us in return. There is emerging evidence, both experiential and research, that says that as our level of consciousness rises, our body has an increasing ability or tendency to heal itself. There are increasing numbers of prayer studies that show that healing is affected by prayer.

In Dr. David Hawkins book, Power Vs. Force, he designates and describes our levels of consciousness from low to high levels. In the pathological area, he lists (low to high) shame, guilt, apathy, grief, fear, desire, anger, and false pride. The ascending corresponding emotions at those lower levels are humiliation, blame, despair, regret, anxiety, craving, hate, and scorn. As we pass from pathological states into higher states of health and well-being, Hawkins designates and defines (low to high) courage, neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love, joy, peace, and enlightenment. The ascending corresponding emotions at these higher levels are affirmation, trust, optimism, forgiveness, understanding, reverence, serenity, bliss and ineffable.

By contemplating upon these two hierarchies of human levels of consciousness and corresponding emotions, you can easily see the beauty that unfolds as we achieve higher and higher levels of consciousness. Higher levels mean less stress, or course, which means less acid in your body. The simple question then becomes, what is it that I can do to help myself achieve an increasing degree of health, happiness and serenity in my own life? As I have written before, a healthy and peaceful lifestyle includes choosing an alkaline and nutritional diet, exercise, rest and relaxation, good company, doing work which we enjoy, body massage, meditation, sincere gratitude, a reverence for all life, and so on.

Some will argue that these conditions are difficult to achieve in a world of economic disarray.

Just viewing the problems of hunger and homelessness in the world is frightening. In America, we are told that more than a million people are now losing or have lost their homes due to mortgage default. And so, how can we ascend to levels of peace in such a world with so much apparent negativity? What else is it that we can do to ascend our own levels of consciousness and somehow feel a greater sense of love, the absence of fear, and more acceptance of so many people with whom we seem to have nothing in common, little understanding, a different set of values, and with whom we perceive ourselves to operate from a completely different belief system about the world?

How do we come to a sense of peace and diminish our reflexive stress--the same emotional stress that causes acidic reactions in our body--to the many seemingly unacceptable political, economic, unhappy human elements that surround us?

I believe that my science will soon confirm what some have known over the millennia. Virtually all Holy Scripture from all the major religions are in accordance with the idea that the highest devotion to God--man's greatest gift to the energy field of the world in which we are all encompassed--is SERVICE TO MANKIND. Research into higher consciousness tells us that the energy of loving service is recorded in the universe on into infinity.

Thus, this Thanksgiving Day and as Holidagy Season approaches in the problematic year of 2011 and 2012, one of the greatest stress-releasing gifts we can give to ourselves is to give the gift of service to others. And nothing fosters charitable feelings like charitable actions. Nothing fosters more the acceptance of other people than lending a helping hand. Nothing will bring forth the peace and wisdom that we need to create within ourselves more than providing service to the poor, the needy, the uneducated, the downtrodden, and the sick and afflicted.

Look for service projects in your area and take your family into the world to help others. And over time, nothing will help you to diminish the stress inside your own body more than helping to diminish the stress in those around us. What goes round comes round, and to whatever degree your load of avocados means abundant energy, creativity, intelligence, leadership, money, or time for everyone in the world, I know that you can figure out how to deliver more than two.

In Love and Thanksliving,

Dr. Robert O. Young

For All The Protein The Body Needs - Eat Organic Electron Rich Green Kale

2011-10-31T22:52:00.000-07:00

The only thing in life that is constant is change. We may resist it all we want, but time and its inevitable evolution of everything in its path is unaffected by our attempts to stop it. The resulting trajectory of humanity's nascent ascent appears to be positioning itself to sweep us into progressive new times, especially where our food choices are concerned, as nearly 7 billion people are now standing on the little scraps of land that we share with some 55 billion rather large animals raised for food each year. (As another famous saying goes: This town ain't big enough for the both of us.) So, beef (and all factory-farmed meat) may be going from rib-eye to relic as we transition to a more greener alkaline world… literally—as in leafy, green electron rich alkaline vegetables.

Environmentalists cite meat production as one of the biggest contributors to global acid warming, and the USDA's new food pyramid (MyPlate) suggests the healthiest choice is making vegetables and fruit the biggest part of every meal by reducing consumption of highly acidic constipating animal proteins. Kale is far more nutritious than other leafy greens, but these seven reasons why it is such an important futurefood may just surprise you.

1. Anti-acid and therefore Anti-inflammatory: Metabolic and dietary acids causes Inflammation leading to the number one cause of arthritis, heart disease and a number of autoimmune diseases, and is triggered by the consumption of highly acid animal products which release toxic chemicals of sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphuric acid and uric acid making us sick, tired and fat. Kale is an incredibly effective anti-acid anti-inflammatory food, potentially preventing and even reversing these illnesses.

2. Iron: Despite the myth that vegetarians are anemic, the number of non-vegetarians with iron-deficiencies is on the rise. Per calorie, kale has more iron than beef.

3. Calcium: Dairy and beef both contain calcium, but the U.S. still has some of the highest rates of bone loss and osteoporosis in the world. Why? Because dairy contains acids of lactose and lactice acid which strips calcium from the bones and magnesium from the muscles. Kale contains more calcium per calorie than milk (90 grams per serving) without the toxic acids and is also better absorbed by the body than dairy. Dairy and the acids lactose and lactic acid are the number one and number two acids that cause protstate, ovarian, uterine and breast cancers.

4. Fiber: Like protein, fiber is a macronutrient, which means we need it every day to adsorb and absorb metabolic and dietary acid. But many Americans don't eat nearly enough and the deficiency is linked to heart disease, digestive disorders and cancer. Protein-rich foods, like meat, contain little to no fiber and destroy the intestinal villi or root system of the body leading to the inability to manufacture stem cells and then new blood. One serving of kale not only contains 5 percent of the recommended daily intake of fiber, but it also provides 2 grams of non-acidifying protein.

5. Omega fatty acids: Essential Omega fats play an important role in our health to help build the membranes of stem cells that make up all blood and body cells, unlike the saturated fats in meat which congest and gum up the crypts of the small intestines where stem cells are manufactures. A serving of kale contains 121 mg of omega-3 fatty acids and 92.4 mg of omega-6 fatty acids for helping to build the membranes of embryonic cells.

6. Immunity: Because meat is highly acidic this gives rise to the biological transformations of bacteria, yeast and mold which can be a serious risk to our health. Many of these come as a result of factory farm highly acidic meat, eggs and dairy products which contain millions of biological transformations of bacteria and yeast. Kale is an incredibly rich source of immune-boosting carotenoid and flavanoid antioxidants including vitamins A which help to buffer the toxic affects of metabolic and dietary acids.

7. Sustainable: Kale grows to maturity in 55 to 60 days versus a cow raised for beef for an average of 18-24 months. Kale can grow in most climates and is relatively easy and low impact to grow at home or on a farm. To raise one pound of beef requires 16 pounds of grain, 11 times as much fossil fuel and more than 2,400 gallons of water.

The Dr Robert O Young Italiano New Biology/pH Miracle Tour Schedule

2011-10-29T22:30:00.000-07:00

The following is Dr. Robert O. Young's Italiano New Biology/pH Miracle Tour Conference schedule - The Science of the New Biology in Achieving Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Health and Vitality with a pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet.

The science of The New Biology by Dr Robert O Young states that "Over- Acidification of the body (latent tissue acidosis) is the single underlying cause of ALL sickness and disease." Sickness and disease is not about the body cells or tissues or organs, its is ALL about the hydration and the quality of the fluids of the body that surround the cells that make up our tissues and organs. Simply put . . . the cell is only as healthy as the fluids it is bathed in. Viruses, bacteria, yeast and mold are not the cause of disease; they are the expression of tissue acidosis. Cells are not attacked by viruses, bacteria, yeast or mold; they become yeasty or moldy, ferment and break down because of their own unhealth acidic environment. The following schedule of Conferences will explore how you can reclaim the proper alkaline pH balance of your own environment and thereby ensure a natural improvement in your health and vitality by starting an alkaline lifestyle and diet. Dr. Young's foundational hypotheisis is that the human organism is alkaline by design and acidic by function.

Schedule of Conferences Throughout Italy October 30th through November 12th, 2011

More Evidence That Cell Phone Use Is Harmful

2011-10-26T05:14:00.000-07:00

More Evidence That Cell Phone Use Is Bad for You
If health damage associated with mobile phones is in the news again, it is not because of the electromagnetic waves that allegedly attack the brain. But new research suggests excessive use of mobile phones can hinder sleep, trigger fatigue and stress and cause mental problems like depression and lack of concentration. At the recent annual meeting of the U.S. Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS), Dr. Gaby Badre from Sahlgren's Academy in Gothenburg, Sweden said teenagers who use their phones excessively are more prone to stress and fatigue. The study focused on 21 healthy people between 14 and 20 years of age with regular work or study hours and without sleep problems. The subjects were divided into two groups. Compared to the control group, who made less than five calls and/or sent five text messages a day, the experimental group made more than 15 calls and/or sent 15 text messages a day. And the latter suffered from increased restlessness, had more careless lifestyles, consumed more stimulating beverages, and reported difficulty falling asleep, disrupted sleep, and more susceptibility to stress and fatigue. Only one-third of them ate breakfast, compared with most in the control group.
The correlation between phone use and mental state was shown by a study published in the Korean Journal of Epidemiology in 2005 and conducted by a team led by Prof. Kim Dong-hyun, of the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine at Hallym University's College of Medicine. The team studied 501 high school students in four groups according to their cell phone use. Those who used them the least scored below 35 points on depression, while those who used the most scored above 51. The latter group also scored over 61 in terms of impulsive behavior. "We can't generalize that cell phone use causes depression or impulsive behavior, but at least we proved there's a connection," Kim said. Han Doug-hyun, a professor of neuropsychiatry at Chung-Ang University Medical Center, says a brain wave scan of children with high mobile use showed a similar sleep cycle pattern to that of a depression patient. Conversely, depressive and impulsive children tended to rely more on mobile phones. Then how much is too much? Mobile addiction is a novel concept compared to drug or Internet addictions. But experts say those who are at risk to becoming an addict are nervous without a phone, always tinker with it and are at ease only after making a call or texting someone. Doctors also note that texting can be more harmful than phone calls to mental health and sleep levels. Prof. Ha ji-hyun, of the Department of Psychiatry at Konkuk University Medical Center says, "A call is simultaneous communication, but an SMS is not. You can get nervous while waiting for the response." Texting at night, itself a stimulus, seems inimical to sleep. Prof. Hong Seung-chul of the Department of Neuropsychiatry at Catholic University of Korea's St. Vincent's Hospital, cites a survey saying sound and light from an incoming text message disturbs sleep as it suppresses the hormone melatonin. It can wake up the person or prevent a sound sleep.

The Horrific Truth Behind the Egg Industry

2011-10-25T07:54:00.000-07:00

The Horrific Truth Behind Egg Industry

Hens spend their entire lives in cages, where they can't even move. They suffer from depression, like any other living being whose liberty was taken away. In order to reduce injuries resulting from excessive pecking — an aberrant behavior that occurs when the confined hens are under stress or frustrated — practically all laying hens have part of their beaks cut off. Debeaking is a painful procedure that involves cutting through bone, cartilage, and soft tissue.

Baby male chicks, who are of no economic value to the egg industry, are simply tossed into a dumpster with shells and other waste. They either get ground up alive, or they are just tossed into plastic bags with hundreds of others, and left to suffocate.

http://www.thenazareneway.com/vegetarian/eggs_and_laying_hens.htm

ANY HUMAN BEING IN ITS RIGHT MIND WILL KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NO LIVING BEING DESERVES TO BE ENSLAVED, RAPED, TORTURED AND KILLED, SO A HUMAN CAN SATISFY ITS ''DESIRE''. STOP SUPPORTING THIS MADNESS / INSANITY - THE UNNECESSARY TORTURE AND SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENT LIVING BEINGS, STOP NOW! GO VEGAN!

TO ALL VEGANS AND ACTIVISTS: PLEASE TAG AND SHARE THE PHOTOS / ALBUMS! IT'S THE EASIEST WAY TO RAISE AWARENESS ON THE INTERNET, AND IT ONLY TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO SHARE! ONE SHARE COULD SAVE MANY LIVES!

The Egg Industry - It hides some of the most horrifying acts of extreme cruelty on Earth!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ--faib7to http://www.chooseveg.com/ohio-fresh-eggs.asp

Those poor defenseless living beings just live to endure extreme horrific torture and die a horribly painful death! For what? Just to satisfy a human's "desire"? "A common method used to dispose of unwanted male chicks is grinding them up alive. This method can result in unspeakable horrors as a research scientist described, “Even after twenty seconds, there were only partly damaged animals with whole skulls.” In other words, fully conscious chicks were partially ground up. Eyewitness accounts at commercial hatcheries indicate similar horrors with chicks being slowly dismembered on augers carrying them towards a trash bin or manure spreader."

http://www.veganbakesale.org/veganbakesale/vbs-eggs.html Video shows chicks ground up alive at egg plant: http://www.mercyforanimals.org/farm-to-fridge.aspx

"A US animal rights group has released a video showing unwanted chicks being tossed alive into a grinder at an Iowa plant and accused egg hatcheries of being "perhaps the cruellest industry" in the world. The undercover video was shot by Chicago-based Mercy for Animals at a hatchery in Spencer, Iowa, over a two-week period in May and June. The video was first obtained yesterday by The Associated Press. "We have to ask ourselves if these were puppies and kittens being dropped into grinders, would we find that acceptable?" asked Nathan Runkle, the group's executive director, at a news conference in Des Moines. "I don't think that most people would." The group said that tossing male chicks, which have little value because they can't lay eggs or be raised quickly enough to be profitable for meat, into grinders is common industry practice. United Egg Producers, a trade group for US egg farmers, confirmed that. The hatchery is owned by West Des Moines-based Hy-Line North America and is one of many operations in Iowa, the nation's leading egg producer. The video, shot with a hidden camera and microphone by a Mercy for Animals employee who got a job at the plant, shows a Hy-Line worker sorting through a conveyor belt of chirping chicks, flipping some of them into a chute like a poker dealer flips cards.

These chicks, which a narrator says are males, are then shown being dropped alive into a grinding machine. In other parts of the video, a chick is shown dying on the factory floor amid a heap of egg shells after falling through a sorting machine. Another chick, also still alive, is seen lying on the floor after getting scalded by a wash cycle, according to the video narrator. Hy-Line said the video "appears to show an inappropriate action and violation of our animal welfare policies," referring to chicks on the factory floor. But the company also noted that "instantaneous euthanasia" - a reference to killing of male chicks by the grinder - is a standard practice supported by the animal veterinary and scientific community. Company spokesman Tom Jorgensen said Tuesday an investigation was continuing, and once it's completed the company would release more information. Runkle acknowledged that his group's ultimate goal was to get people to stop eating eggs. He said he believe many would refuse to eat eggs if they knew what happened to male chicks. "The egg industry is perhaps the cruellest industry on the face of the planet," Runkle said. Mercy for Animals also sent letters to the nation's 50 largest grocery store chains, including Walmart, Whole Foods, Safeway, Harris Teeter and Trader Joe's, asking them to include a label on egg cartons that says, "Warning: Male chicks are ground-up alive by the egg industry."

A spokesman for United Egg Producers called the proposal "almost a joke." The egg producers spokesman, Mitch Head, said Mercy for Animals had no credibility and questionable motives because "this is a group which espouses no egg consumption by anyone - so that is clearly their motive." Mercy for Animals estimated 200 million male chicks are killed a year, which the United Egg Producers also confirmed. "There is, unfortunately, no way to breed eggs that only produce female hens," Head said. "If someone has a need for 200 million male chicks, we're happy to provide them to anyone who wants them. But we can find no market, no need." Using a grinder, Head said, "is the most instantaneous way to euthanise chicks."

There is no federal law that ensures the humane euthanasia of animals on farms or hatcheries, according to Jonathan Lovvorn, vice president and chief counsel of the Humane Society of the United States. The Humane Society also says that virtually all egg farms, even those that sell cage-free eggs, get their hens from hatcheries that kill their male chicks. Hy-Line says on its website that its Iowa facility produces 33.4 million chicks. Based on that figure, Mercy for Animals estimates a similar number of male chicks are killed at the facility each year. Hy-Line did not comment on that estimate." Solution: GO VEGAN!

My Top 38 Ways To Prevent and Reverse A Cancerous Condition

2011-10-16T16:16:00.000-07:00

In a scandal that has reverberated around the world of cancer research, the Office of Research Integrity at the U.S. Department of Health found that a Boston University cancer scientist fabricated his findings. His work was published in two journals in 2009, and he’s been ordered to retract them. But important studies by other scientists like those at the Mayo Clinic, who based their work on his findings, could now make 10 years of their studies worthless, according to commentary in Gaia Health.

It seems fairly evident that the cancer industrial complex is a highly lucrative, well-oiled system that tends to support funding for expensive drug treatments that don't address the cause of the problem, and have yet to make a significant dent in the decrease of the overall cancer rate in the US despite investing hundreds of billions of dollars. Much of the support comes from flawed and biased "research" studies that support the use of expensive drugs as detailed in the featured articles.

Researchers, too, are well aware of the notoriety and money to be found in cancer research … particularly what may be deemed successful cancer research (which unfortunately is often measured by the discovery of new drug treatments). But, as with many areas of medical research, it's important to read between the lines of "scientifically proven" studies, even those that are well accepted.
Often what you'll find is the research gives the perception of science when really it is a heavily manipulated process designed to control and deceive. Case in point, here again we have an example of widely accepted, published research that turned out to be fabricated.

10 Years of Cancer Research Down the Drain

The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) at the U.S. Department of Health reported in August 2011 that final action has been taken against Sheng Wang, PhD, of Boston University School of Medicine, Cancer Research Center. ORI states:
"The Respondent engaged in research misconduct by fabricating data that were included in two (2) published papers."
This includes:
Oncogene February 2009, which found that HIC1, a protein thought to suppress tumor growth, is a "central molecule in a novel mechanism controlling cell growth and that the disruption of this HIC1-mediated pathway may lead to abnormal cell proliferation and, ultimately, cancer."
Molecular Endocrinology December 2009, which found "reintroducing HIC1 into resistant breast cancer cells restored their sensitivity to the estrogen antagonists, indicating the existence of a novel regulatory mechanism for growth control of breast cancer cells."
Specifically, six of the eight figures in the Oncogene paper and six of the seven figures in the Molecular Endocrinology study were said to contain data from fabricated experiments. Though Wang is now required to retract the papers, and he reportedly stopped working for Boston University in July, he will only be ineligible for federal funding for 2 years.

Further, the fabricated research may continue to live on, as it has been cited by other studies and once a finding is accepted in the medical community, it's very hard to make it go away. Unfortunately, scientific retractions are actually becoming increasingly common.
As the Wall Street Journal reported:
"Just 22 retraction notices appeared in 2001, but 139 in 2006 and 339 last year. Through seven months of this year, there have been 210, according to Thomson Reuters Web of Science, an index of 11,600 peer-reviewed journals world-wide …
At the Mayo Clinic, a decade of cancer research, partly taxpayer-funded, went down the drain when the prestigious Minnesota institution concluded that intriguing data about harnessing the immune system to fight cancer had been fabricated. Seventeen scholarly papers published in nine research journals had to be retracted. A researcher, who protests his innocence, was fired. In another major flameout, 18 research journals have said they are planning to retract a total of 89 published studies by a German anesthesiologist …"

Fabricated Research is More Common Than You Might Think

Peer-reviewed research published in medical journals gets the golden star of approval in the media, yet many, if not most, of the findings are incredibly misleading. One of the best exposé's into this muddled system came from none other than Dr. Marcia Angell, who was the former editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
In her book The Truth about Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It, she exposed many examples of why medical studies often cannot be trusted, and said flat out:
"Trials can be rigged in a dozen ways, and it happens all the time."
For instance, in 2009 Dr. Scott Reuben, who was a well-respected, prominent anesthesiologist, former chief of acute pain of the Baystate Medical Center, Springfield, Mass. and a former professor at Tufts University's medical school, allegedly fabricated the data for 21 studies!

Dr. Reuben succeeded in getting numerous studies published, and those studies were accepted as fact and swayed the prescribing habits of doctors. It was only due to a routine audit raising a few red flags that a larger investigation was later launched.
So how did those false studies, or any studies for that matter, become worthy of being published? Part of the problem may be the peer-review process itself, as this puts researchers in charge of policing other researchers' results, and most do not want to insult a fellow researcher's work with negative comments.
As written in Gaia Health:
"It's all about money. Get published in a major medical journal and your future is made. Most peer reviewers are doing their own studies. That's what makes them peers. They want to be able to publish. Therefore, they are not particularly inclined to make more than perfunctory negative comments. Obviously, they don't want to alienate the authors of papers, since they either are or hope to become published themselves.
Peer review is a farce. The only kind of review that makes real sense is professional independent reviewers. Yet, for decades we've had peer review trotted out as the be-all and end-all in determining the legitimacy of papers. It's been unquestioned, while a little examination of the concept demonstrates that it's nearly certain to result in fraudulent work being passed as good science."
It's almost impossible to find out what happens in the vetting process, as peer reviewers are unpaid, anonymous and unaccountable. And although the system is based on the best of intentions, it lacks consistent standards and the expertise of the reviewers can vary widely from journal to journal.
Given that cancer research is such a lucrative business right now -- the National Cancer Institute, which gave the grant money to support Dr. Sheng Wang's fabricated research, had a $5.1 billion budget for fiscal year 2010 -- the stakes are exceptionally high. So it stands to reason that it may be subject to even more fraud and manipulation than less lucrative research prospects.

As The Economist reported, there were more new cancer drugs in development in 2010 than any other therapeutic area. Drug makers are well aware that a blockbuster cancer drug could easily earn them profits in the billions, even if the drug is only borderline effective. It is abundantly clear that profit is a primary motive of these companies so it should not be a surprise that they have moved in this direction, and this is where the abundance of research is focused as well.

Why You Might Want to Think Twice Before Donating to Anti-Cancer Charities

A lot of people put their faith in charity organizations like the American Cancer Society (ACS), dutifully donating money to help in the "war on cancer." But in the report titled American Cancer Society—More Interested In Accumulating Wealth Than Saving Lives, Dr. Samuel S. Epstein, chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, plainly lays to bare the many conflicts of interest that hamper the effectiveness of this organization.

For example, the ACS has close financial ties to both makers of mammography equipment and cancer drugs. But that's just for starters. Other conflicts of interest include ties to, and financial support from, the pesticide-, petrochemical-, biotech-, cosmetics-, and junk food industries—the very industries whose products are the primarycontributors to cancer!

The ACS, along with the National Cancer Institute, virtually exclusively focus on cancer research and the diagnosis and chemical treatment of cancer. Preventive strategies, such as avoiding chemical exposures, receive virtually no consideration at all.
"Giant corporations, which profited handsomely while they polluted air, water, the workplace, and food with a wide range of carcinogens, remain greatly comforted by the silence of the ACS. This silence reflected a complex of mindsets fixated on diagnosis, treatment, and basic genetic research, together with ignorance, indifference, and even hostility to prevention. Not surprisingly, the incidence of cancer over past decades has escalated, approximately parallel to its increased funding," Dr. Epstein writes.
Many also do not realize that when you donate money to the American Cancer Society, the majority of it may never go further than the bank accounts of its numerous well-paid executives.
Meanwhile, global cancer rates have doubled in the last three decades, and their "war on cancer" strategy completely ignores, and oftentimes denies, the obvious links between cancer and toxic exposures through pesticide-laden foods, toxic personal care products, cancer-causing medical treatments and drugs, and industrial pollution. We CAN turn this trend around, but to do so the medical and research communities must stop focusing on drug treatments and overlooking the methods that can actually have a significant impact on preventing this disease.

My top 38 Ways To prevent or reverse ANY and ALL acidic cancerous conditions

1) Exercise, stretch and sweat for 1 hour every day. Sweating is the key to healthfyl exercising. When you sweat you are removing dietary and metabolic acids from the tissues that causes a cancerous condition.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/p-551-younga-yoga-volumes-1-and-2.aspx

2) Watch your acidic weight with an alkaline lifestyle and diet as outlined in our new book The pH Miracle Revised and Updated.

Read the pH Miracle books: The pH Miracle, The pH Miracle for Diabetes and The pH Miracle for Weight Loss.
http://www.phmiracleliving.com/c-25-books-dvds-audios.aspx

3) Don't smoke cigarettes, cigars or chew tobacco. It is laced with sugar and other chemicals that are cancerous causing!

4) Eliminate all animal protein, dairy, sweet fruit, processed sugar and all acidic grains, especially rice.

5) Eat foods that are high in fiber. Fiber will absorb dietary and metabolic acids.

6) Drink 5 to 6 liters of alkaline green water with a pH of at least 9.5 and an ORP or electrical potential of -150 mV.

Alkalizing Fluid Electrolytes - The Perfect Alkaline Water Solution!

2011-10-13T16:43:00.000-07:00

Alkalizing electrolytes provide the electrical charge and electrical conductivity that keeps the heart, muscles, and nervous system working properly. Diet, climate, stress, exercise, illness, and medications all impact electrolyte levels because they draw upon these electrolytes to buffer respiratory, dietary, metabolic and environmental acids.

Common signs of alkalizing electrolyte imbalances are low or high blood pressure, fatigue, circulation problems, any illness or dis-ease which also presents a low alkaline pH at 7.4 or lower of the saliva and urine.

Once your alkaline electrolyte balance is lost, drinking plain non-alkaline water won't help! Drinking plain non=alkaline water will dilute electrolytes or create greater electrolyte imbalances. Mineral water contains a variety of minerals that can further skew the imbalance of electrolytes. 'Sports' drinks provide mostly acidic carbohydrates, not alkalizing electrolytes.

My pH Miracle Alkalizing Electrolyte Replacement Water is the ONLY balanced, isotonic oral alkalizing electrolyte drink on the market today.

This milliequivalent alkalizing mineral rich formula will provide plasma electrolytes without upsetting the body's natural mineral balance or adding acidic carbohydrate. My pH Miracle Alkalizing Electrolyte Drink Replacements are offered in three formulas - pH Miracle Green Label with a pH of 7.4, pH Miracle Blue Label with a pH of 8.4 and pH Miracle Purple Label with a pH of 9.4.

pH Miracle Green Label Electrolyte Drink Replacement with a pH of 7.4 contains normal electrolyte ratios of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium and is appropriate for those individuals who have normal ratios of sodium and potassium and have normal blood pressure. This product is isotonic.

Blue Label Electrolyte Drink Replacement with a pH of 8.4 contains a higher level of sodium and magnesium and is appropriate for those individuals who have low levels of sodium and magnesium and may have low blood pressure. This formula is hypertonic.

Purple Label Electrolyte Drink Replacement with a pH of 9.4 contains a higher level of potassium and is appropriate for those who have low levels of potassium and may have high blood pressure. This formula is super-hypertonic.

What Makes This Electrolyte Drink Different ?

In one word “Density pH Miracle Water”! Dr. Robert O. Young has developed a process to generate a pH Balanced“Free Floating Colloidal Orbital Solution” to stabilize blood plasma ions.

Special Formula Allows You To Judge By Taste How Much Electrolyte Alkalizing Replacement You Need!

Holding an electrical charge to allow a less dense particle to free float in the solution will allow each individual to be the judge by taste as to how much electrolyte and alkalizing the body needs at that time. This way your individual body will absorb whatever electrolytes and alkalzing hydroxl ions it needs and excretes what it doesn’t.

Big Corporations Have Failed Trying To Copy This Electrolyte Drink!

Many doctors and companies have tried in vain to copy these unique alkalzing electrolyte solutions only to end up with a simple acidic sugar drink.

Sugars are All Acids and Cancel Out the Electrical Potential Of Electrolytes.

Be wary of trying to replace vital alkalizing electrolytes and hydroxl ions with sports drinks or plain water. Sugar and hydrogen ions in any form cancel out the electrical potential or negaive charge of fluid free-floating alkalzing electrolytes.

With the exception of a handful of other Research Scientists, Dr. Robert O. Young has created the one and only taste sensitive alkalzing electrolyte and hydroxl ion replacement solution based on human blood chemistry.

Epigenetic, Radiations, and Environmental Cancers

2011-10-13T12:25:00.000-07:00

The epigenetic is a new approach of the genetics, it is a discovery which will completely upset not only the understanding of our genes, but also the apprehension of many pathologies currently considered to be in exponential growth. Under the epigenetic term are defined and gathered mainly all the modifications of the expression of our genes generated by the influence of the environmental polluting factors which are often closely related to our lifestyle: this looks like a scientific revolution.

The complete file of Wikipedia concerning the epigenetic [U.K.] states: [Fr version] “... The epimutations are much more frequent than the traditional changes of the DNA... the epigenetic phenomena covers the paramutations, the gene extinction, the Inactivation of the X chromosome, the position effect, the reprogramming, the regulation of the histone modifications and the heterochromatin. They are among others implied in the evolution of cancers, teratogenesis”.

Until now, there was an immutably admitted thesis about the association of the certainties of biology and genetics; Epigenetics disrupts all these certainties about the notion of balance, it is not a gene change, but a change in its expression following an upheaval of its balance. In other words, it is proven today that medical pathologies such as environmental cancers originate in imbalances (mutations) resulting from perennial actions of multiple pollutants. Nowadays, even if the environmental polluting factors causing epigenetic modifications were not all listed, the main and new contributor is the irradiation by the artificial Electromagnetic Fields High frequencies microwaves.

Until now it was admitted that the few tens of thousands of genes which we are carrying and which “code” our individual characteristics were definitively fixed with our birth, except mutations in certain specific cases which could lead to medical pathologies. Nevertheless, it was noted that the uncontrolled multiplication by a permanent “over addition” in our environment of artificial radiations HF microwaves of strong energy values raises now many questions about the balance of our ...genes evolving in a radiative bath!.

A positive side can be the medical application of a specific epigenetic effect [U.K.] can be salutary on the modification of a gene of a pathology and causes the cure of patients, it is a great hope.

The result which follows from the discovery of epigenetic is very clear; our environment does not only directly influence our health, which we had always known, but it does also influence our genes by causing expression mutations which can generate pathologies such as cancers. This is a major new information.

In other words, those who allow to themselves by many stratagems to pollute (irradiate) us are thus in part directly responsible for our cancers. Some can be named; they are the giants of the industry of mobile telecommunications with their secure incomes they take part in the financings of the scientific studies, even directly scientists in conflict of interest who agree to skew the results. In the same way, the armada of the lobbying acts in many different ways in order to balance or to destroy the evidence and make continue the obnoxious system. And if that is not sufficient, they will bait themselves by all means to hammer out the discredit of the scientists independent from the BioInitiative report by an endless replication of the positive scientific studies to incline the scales towards the wished side so that the politicians can say: “The scientific literature shows that there is no sufficient proof of harmful effects according to the current protective standards”. Moreover, with the absence of basic training, most doctors are completely ignorant and have no idea of the impact of the artificial EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) on people.

Unfortunately, unlike the air pollution, Electrosmog cannot be seen, which made worse its dangerousness and complicated the spread of information. Nevertheless, things are changing facing facts.

The discovery of the epigenetic which questions the admitted thesis about the genetics and the causes able to
modify genes, is one of the major elements which should contribute to a complete change in the data of the
approach on the origin of the currently noted explosion of environmental cancers.

Preventing and Reversing a Cancerous Condition, Neurological Disorder, and Autism with Alkalizing Mineral Salts

An Inexpensive Test to Prevent Cancer, Neurological Disorders and Autism

'Give me a chance to create a fever and I will cure any disease'
Parmenides - 2,000 years ago

Knowledge is power!

I am always so grateful when I learn of another scientist - even an oncologist by the name of Dr Tuillio Simoncini, who is using alkaline principals, even the alkaline salt sodium bicarbonate to eradicate cancerous tumors, oral cancers, neurological disorders in children (autism) and improving over-all patient health and fitness.

In an article by Dr. Tuillo Simoncini he statesthat, 'It is useful to consider the extreme sensitivity of fungi to saline and electrolytic solutions. These solutions, because of their extreme capacity for diffusion, are able to reach all the myceliar biological expressions, including the most infinitesimal ones. Salts and bicarbonates, by making the 'terrain' completely inorganic, eliminates the slightest organic fonts that fungi could use for nourishment. In this context, sodium bicarbonate, which is currently used in children's oral candidoses, appears to be a simple and handy weapon capable of uprooting, inhibiting, or attenuating any neoplastic formation wherever it is possible to easily apply it.'

Dr. Tullio Simoncini has also stated, 'we might identify sodium bicarbonate as an emergency medicine for cancer . . . cancer seems to grow slowly in a highly acid environment (because the acids cause it to partially destroy itself) andmay actually grow more quickly as your body becomes more alkaline prior to reaching the healthy pH slightly above 7.4 where the cancer becomes dormant. Therefore it is important to get the pH above 7.4 as quickly as possible. Once one has achieved a pH above 7.4, it is usefrul to monitor saliva pH regularly to ensure that the body remains sufficiently alkaline.'

Sodium bicarbonate is the chemical compoundwith the formula of NaHCO3. Sodium bicarbonate(baking soda) is commonly used as an antacid for short-term relief of stomach upset, to correct acidosis in kidney disorders, to make the urine alkaline during bladder infections and to minimize uric acid crystallization during gout treatment. Prescription sodium bicarbonate products are given by injection to treat metabolic acidosis and some drug intoxifications.

Sodium bicarbonate is available as a nonprescription medicine as well as a general household item. It is also used with other non-prescription drugs for short-term treatment of various conditions to treat anything from fever to moderate pain. Sodium bicarbonate possesses the property of absorbing heavy metals, dioxins and furans. Comparison of cancer tissue with healthly tissue from the same person shows that the cancer tissue has a much higher concetration ot toxic chemicals, pesticides, etc.

Sodium bicarbonate neutralizes acids presentin gases (in particular hydrochloric acid, sulphurdioxide, hydrofluoroc acid) to form sodiumsalts (sodium chloride, sodium sulphate, sodiumflouride, sodium carbonate), which are all known as Residual Sodium Chemicals of the body.

Sodium bicarbonate is the major alkaline bufferof the human body and is primarily made by thecover cells of the stomach.

It is secreted by the salivary glands, the pylorus glands in the stomach, by the pancreas and the gall bladder to alkalize the food we eat.

Big Pharms cannot patent sodium bicarbonate, therfore they cannot control it or profit from it.
The FDA cannot regulate it as a drug because it is a food and a natural compound produced by the body to maintain its alkaline design.

Sodium bicarbonate is the great pH Miracle Secret that can bring health, energy and vitality to the body.

___________________________________________

There has been a lot of press coverage today, andover the weekend (see example appended below), regarding a new technology to aid in the early detection of Oral Cancer. The thing I noted, from the news coverage, was the 'increase' in the overall incidents of Oral Cancer. There are some who attribute the increase to smoking, and some even attribute the increase to an increase in the use of chewing tobacco in those who have quit smoking cigarettes. Both smoking and chewing tabacco are highly acidic to the body and cause thepH of the mouth to become moderately to highly acidic.

Early detection is easy and inexpensive. Check the pH of your saliva each day with pHydrion paper. If your saliva pH is below 7.2 then you are at risk for cavities, mouth sores, bacteria, yeast and even Oral Cancer.

To order pHydrion paper go to:

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/ph_strips.htm

To increase your oral pH to a normal 7.2 or greater drink 1teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate salt in 2 ounces of distilled water. It is that simple to neutralize the acids that cause cavities, mouth sores, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV16), bacteria, yeast and even Oral Cancer.

Statistics from the Oral Cancer Foundation (www.oralcancer.org) indicate that the incidence of oral cancer is on the rise.

In 2006 the number of people in the U.S. diagnosed with oral cancer rose for the first time in 50 years, and the Foundation predicts that this number will rise again this year by 11%, with approximately 34,000 people in the U.S. being diagnosed with oral cancers.

Oral cancer will cause over 8,000 deaths, killing about one person every hour of each day. (emphasis added)

According to the foundation, of those 34,000 newly diagnosed individuals only half will be alive in five years -- a number which has not significantly improved in decades.

To prevent or reverse cavities, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV16) or Oral Cancer all you need to do is alkalize with an inexpensive salt of bicarbonate. The cure for these conditionsis not in its treatment but in its prevention! Sodium bicarbonate is your best prevention!

That is why I created the pHour Salts(TM) mouth rinse to raise the pH of the mouth to 7.2 or greater. This product contains the four basic alkalizing salts of sodium, magnesium, potassium andcalcium bicarbonate.

To order pHour salts: http://www.phmiracleliving.com/p-221-phour-salts.aspx

Cancer is not a cell it is actually a four letter word -- ACID, especially lactic acid as a waste product due to the low oxygen level in andaround the cell and the waste products of yeast/fungus and/or mold.

Gentle Dental Evaluates New Technologies to Aid in Early Detection of Oral Cancer
April 7, 2007

Gentle Dental, a leading provider of comprehensive, convenient and high quality dentistry, announced that it is evaluating several technologies to aid in the early detection of oral cancer.

Gentle Dental and its affiliated dentists in eight states recognize the importance of early oral cancer detection and have included visual and tactile screening for oral cancer during all exams for years. Recently new technologies have come to market that augment doctors abilities to see oral abnormalities at extremely early stages, increasing the effectiveness of their screening process.

Gentle Dental is now evaluating two of these, the VELscope and ViziLite, in its offices.
Statistics from the Oral Cancer Foundation (www.oralcancer.org) indicate that the incidence of oral cancer is on the rise. In 2006 the number of people in the U.S. diagnosed with oral cancer rose for the first time in 50 years, and the Foundation predicts that this number will rise again this year by 11%, with approximately 34,000 people in the U.S. being diagnosed with oral cancers. Oral cancer will cause over 8,000 deaths, killing about one person every hour of each day. (emphasis added)

According to the foundation, of those 34,000 newly diagnosed individuals only half will be alive in five years -- a number which has not significantly improved in decades. This is largely because oral cancer is most frequently discovered in its later stages, when the survival rate is only 20 to 30 percent and often only when it has grown and spread to a more readily noticeable region outside the mouth, such as the lymph nodes of the neck. With early detection through opportunistic screenings and the use of tools like the ViziLite and VELscope, Gentle Dental affiliated providers are working to increase the number of cases caught in the earliest, highly survivable stages of the cancer.

'Dental professionals are the first line of defense in our battle against this killer. When they find early stage disease, they have significantly increased that person's chances of survival,' stated Brian Hill, the Director of The Oral Cancer Foundation, and an oral cancer survivor. 'In most situations early discovery has a greater impact on positive final outcomes than the treatments themselves. Dental professionals that incorporate a simple, painless, oral cancer screening into their practice are providing the highest standards of care to their patient populations. These are the doctors that will be responsible for reductions in the extremely high death rate associated with this disease.'

'I'm excited that doctors from our organization are involved in this important screening process, and with the introduction of these new technologies we are on the cutting edge of offering the most comprehensive service to our patients. As the son of a cancer survivor, I feel strongly about helping my patients and their loved ones avoid becoming victims of this terrible disease,' said Dr. Raul Amador, one of the Gentle Dental affiliated dentists evaluating the VELscope in the East Vancouver office where he practices.

'Oral Cancer is the 'Great Imposter' since it can mimic common mouth sores which are benign. Most patients do not experience noticeable symptoms in the early stage of the disease process, and that is where the true danger lies. Left undetected it has the opportunity to progress into a late stage killer,' said Gentle Dental affiliated dentist Dr. Edward Conzatti. 'Early discovery of the disease by a trained professional will expose these cancers' deadly work at a stage when treatment is most effective, and survival is most likely.'

Several lifestyle and chemical factors increase the risk for oral cancer, including tobacco and alcohol use. Prolonged exposure to sunlight is the primary cause of cancers of the lip. There is also evidence that the same version of the sexually transmitted Human Papilloma Virus (HPV16), already known as the primary cause of cervical cancers, is a factor in the increasing number of oral cancer cases involving younger, non-smoking patients.

Because early detection greatly improves chances of survival, all family members over 18 should be screened yearly, and more often should they engage in known risk factors such as tobacco use. In addition to twice yearly routine dental exams and cleanings, check with your dentist promptly if you or your family members experience any of the following possible signs of oral cancer:

Health and Fitness Is A Choice Just As Sickness and Disease Is A Choice

2011-10-11T12:41:00.000-07:00

After 25 years of research studying the affects lifestyle and diet on the pH of the blood, I have learned that the human organism is alkaline by design and acidic in all of its functions. If one can maintain the delicate alkaline pH of all the body fluids bathing every cell from within and from without at 7.365 then life will continue without pain, suffering, sickness or disease.

Louis Pasteur’s germ theory has become a curse. Antoine BeChamp an adversary to Pasteur and his germ theory for scientific fraud said this about the germ theory, "there is nothing so false that does not contain some element of truth, and so it is with the germ theory." The germ theory is the controlling medical idea for the world. In Pasteur’s day, and ever since, other proposed theories about the cause of disease have fallen on death ear because they have tended to contradict that paradigm. NO matter how simple and logical an idea about the cause of disease, if it does not promote the concept of invasion of germs and their specific cures it does not fit into the medical paradigm.

More importantly, the germ theory has become a curse because it has encouraged individuals to give up responsibility for their own health over to the medical community. If germs cause disease it stands to reason that control belongs to the medical community whose tireless researchers spend trillions of our money to find the right pill or potion to annihilate disease-causing germs.

This quest to cure disease through medication is at the heart of modern allopathic medicine and the multi-trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry. It is a quest that persists despite evidence indicating that airborne germs do not cause the disease for which they are credited.
After more than a century of trying, the Pasteurian germ theory has utterly failed in the quest to a cure for any disease. All major degenerative diseases are on the increase, as are so called infectious diseases which are not infectious at all. Every year, old symptoms are given new names – names like MS for polio, AIDS for poor sanitation, poor nutrition, poor lifestyle choices and drug use, Epstein-Barr virus for connective tissue disorders like fibramyalgia – to make them appear to be the work of a new germ. Unless we turn this nonsense around, the human race could become extinct like the dinosaurs from the treatments of modern medicine to kill a non- threatening or phantom germ.

If we want to find the cure for disease we need only to look at our dietary and lifestyle choices. If you heed the ignored, even rejected discoveries of Pasteur’s peers and scientists of the 19th and 20th century, adding those to my own discoveries, you will learn the true cause of disease.
Until the medical community starts looking at causes rather than devoting its time looking for cures, and until we start taking responsibility for our own lifestyle and dietary choices, I believe the human race is in trouble of becoming extinct.

Dr. Benjamin Rush, Physician and signer of the Declaration of Independence, 1776 said this: "Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize itself into an undercover dictatorship, To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic."
Where does life begin? In the womb or the grail, the holy grail, in the amniotic fluid, in a 98.6 F, one percent water and salt solution or 1 part salt to 100 parts water. This solution is called the sol. This natural salt solution, called "sol" is from the origin of the word, directly connected to the word "soul". What we call "sol" for our salt solution (a solution of two in one- no more polarity), was believed by the ancient Celtics to represent our soul, as the soul originated, in their belief, from the ocean where we are all born from the same fluids, arising from the same "sol" a solution of salt and water.

Our body in its wholeness is an ingenious creation of nature, It has been given all mechanisms to not only sustain its life but also to create new life. Every healthy person has innate regulatory mechanisms to maintain its alkaline design and self-healing powers, which ensure or reestablish the natural balance of the bodily functions, the homeostasis. It is not the doctor that heals us, nor the medication, but our own innate alkaline regulatory mechanisms. Our body is able to fully regenerate itself. Therefore, it is advised to use great discernment before labeling any disease as "incurable" or "untreatable." If doctors come to the conclusion that a disease in incurable, they would be more accurate in saying that with their knowledge and experience, they are not able to offer any further help. The word "incurable" conveys fear, or false evidence appearing real, which stifles and weakens our body’s innate alkaline mechanism.

Bio-chemically speaking Health is all about alkaline balance. Bio-energetically speaking Health is all about energy. Vibrating energy is the origin of matter and the origin of life. And matter is nothing more than organized energy.

In 1984, the Swiss physicist Dr. Carlos Rubbia, received the Nobel prize for discovering a mathematically calculable natural constant with which he could calculate the ratio of mass particles (matter) in relation to navigating energy particles, The ratio of matter to energy that forms matter is 1 to 9,746 to the power of 108 or about 1 to 1,000,000,000 which means it takes one billion energy units to create one single unit of matter in a materialized tangible form. Isn’t interesting that we for the most part, preoccupy ourselves with only 1 billionth part of reality: that which is in a material form and can be seen and touched. We fail to see the far greater amount of energy particles it took to materialize our reality. This revolutionary scientific discovery shows us clearly that every form of matter is subject to higher energetic interactions and subject to change of form and function.

When we analyze the energy content of any form of matter, we arrive at its smallest part, the atom and its protons, electrons and neutrons. There is ongoing movement without any contact- nothing tangible, just pure vibrating energy. This vibrating energy creates a frequency, which can be measured, a so-called wave length which can be seen using my photon interference photography. Every form of matter is characterized as a specific frequency spectrum. And each frequency spectrum can be measured using a decibel meter. All organized matter is nothing more than organized energy that gives off a specific frequency and a specific sound which can be measured and heard. When we turn on a light or an electrical device we can see the energy but we cannot perceive the electrical current itself, but we except its existence. This same materially non-perceivable electricity, this energy, flows through our body fluids especially our blood. Every one of us has enough measurable electrical current flowing through us to light up a 100 watt light bulb.

Life/light = energy and energy = information or intelligence. Everything that exists not only exists as energy but also as a carrier of information or intelligence, whether it is a human being, a form of food or drink, or a rock. Life is a constant exchange of energy and intelligence and the best place to view this life energy is in the live and dried blood.

Plasma which is 92% water is a good example for showing how matter as energy is transformed when additional energy is added or subtracted. Water has three different distinct bodies or states: solid, liquid and gaseous. Ice is frozen water or like the thickening of the blood. We can see it and feel its coolness. By adding energy in the form of heat to the ice it transforms back into a liquid. When we add more energy to the water it begins to boil and the molecules start moving faster and faster that they begin to transform into steam and become gaseous. This transformation of organized energy as matter from one form to another is know as biological or energetical transformation or also referred to as pleomorphism.

Energy and intelligence are identical.
Every form of energy has a specific wavelength
Every wavelength has its individual content of intelligence
There are no accidents in the order of Nature
Meanwhile, we know of about 40,000 different diseases and the list is growing that are treated by the 1,200 different allopathic specialty fields with 58,000 different kinds of allopathic preparations or medicines. However, the word diseases in the plural form, is not a accurate. Have you ever heard of "healths"? We are either healthy or ill. This illness signals a lack of energy and shows up in the form of a symptom. To represent a symptom as an illness is technically and scientifically inaccurate. The symptom is merely the intelligent cry of the energetically defective and suffering body, crying out for help. And normally, the body turns to a weakened organ to give us a hint, through a symptom, that things are not in order.

Our bodies either hum or honk Upset stomachs or high blood pressure or high blood sugars is the body honking. The honks of our bodies are telling us there is a state of pH or energetic imbalance.
Why does pH balance or pH Homeostasis define good health?
pH balance or pH homeostasis in humans commonly refers to the internal balance of the body’s electro-magnetic and chemical systems in response to the changing conditions of the external world and the changing conditions of the internal world. The word homeostasis comes from the Greek words: "homeo" means similar or "alki" or "alkaline" and "stasis" means a tendency toward maintaining stability. There are many homoeostatic mechanisms in our bodies that help maintain this balance and our state of health is directly related to the health of these mechanisms. pH homeostasis is maintained by dynamic processes of feedback and regulation. pH homeostasis has only one objective: to preserve the beneficial conditions of life in the internal alkali environment. Every day we are bombarded with external influences that threaten that balanced internal alkaline pH environment. Some of these threats include becoming too hot or too cold, eating too much or eating acidic foods or drinks, breathing polluted air and being exposed to chemicals over a period of time.

Our cells, especially the red blood cells can only survive when our bodies are strong enough to maintain pH homeostasis or to regain it quickly after we have been exposed to toxic environmental threats. Some of the pH homoeostatic mechanisms in the body include temperature regulation, dilation of the eye, blood composition, heart rate, blood pressure, water content, blood sugar level, mineral relationships, and of course the acid/alkaline balance of our body fluids. An essential feature of these mechanisms is that they enable the red blood cells, the tissue which is a product of the red blood cells and the whole of the organism, also a product of blood, to adapt to changes in both internal and external environmental conditions. If the pH homoeostatic mechanisms are impaired the body loses its ability to regulate these mechanisms. By looking at living blood using a compound microscope we can view the quality of the red blood cell, its environment and how well the body is managing these pH homoeostatic mechanisms. The interdependence and close coordination of the many bodily functions, which work so well when we are in alkaline balance or health, may be upset by a chain reaction when any part of the system breaks down from metabolic acids which have not been properly eliminated through, respiration, perspiration or urination. If this chain reaction is too drastic, the red blood cells and body cells will become acidic and begin to biologically transform into other cellular forms – like bacteria or yeast.

The normal state of health is not a static condition, but a coordination response of many systems and mechanisms. Fluctuations occur within a very narrow pH range. An imbalance of a point or two on the acid/alkaline pH scale is extremely disruptive to health. A few percentiles of variation of oxygen concentration in the blood can impair function. In the bloodstream, the slightest changes can be observed in the structures of the red and white blood cells, the level of cellular debris, the creation of cholesterol or calcium crystals, etc. If the blood sugar content is continually elevated due to body cell transformation or breakdown, the body chemistry becomes upset. An infinitesimal deficiency of sodium, calcium, potassium or magnesium, the alkaline buffers of the body can cause a problem in the function of many body parts.

We must keep our pH homoeostatic mechanism strong so that we can deal effectively with our world. If we are humming and the process of pH homeostasis is orderly, life continues; if we are honking and m pH homeostasis is continually being disrupted, our health is in jeopardy.
pH Homeostasis is a bit like balancing the books in accounting. It si maintained by balancing inputs with outputs.

How well we adapt in health and sickness is largely a function of the pH homoeostatic mechanism. The body’s chemistry response to such subtle changes that a negative thought, an acidic food or drink, or eating too much food can be a problem for maintaining balance.

In 1988 an article of the New England Journal of Medicine stated that, "most major chronic disease probably results from the accumulation of environmental factors over time in genetically susceptible people."

In 1965, Rene Dubos, a medical historian and philosopher, pointed out that the body is imperfect in its attempts to adapt and maintain pH homeostasis. She said, "the mechanisms involved in regulating homeostasis don not always return the body’s functions to their original state. They can be misdirected. The body only has the ability to adapt to insults for so long. When it can no longer adapt , degeneration sets in. Health is the state that the body attains when an individual responds adaptively and restores the body to its original integrity."

The term "homeostasis" was coined in the mid-1920's by the American physiologist, Walter B. Cannon. But he was building on a concept of balance that dated back to ancient Western, Eastern, and Middle Eastern civilizations.

The balance equals good health equation was first suggested by Hippocrates (460-375 BC) and the ancient Greeks. Hippocrates considered health to be a state of harmonious balance and disease a state of disharmony. He and his contemporaries believed that harmony and balance existed between organs, between bodily fluids, and between body and soul. When the body is out of harmony and balance, illness occurs.
Hippocrates studied the entire patient in his or her environment, noting the effects of climate, food, and occupation on health. "Our natures are the physicians of our diseases, " he said, describing the healing forces we all have within us as the healing power of Nature. It was the physician’s objective to restore harmony with food, exercise, rest, and with medicinal remedies designed to remove the harmful acidic excesses. This conservative approach was designed to let nature do the healing and above all, as Hippocrates said, "to first do no harm."

The Greeks ideas on equilibrium and health evolved further under the philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC). He felt that a healthy body worked through what he described as a hemostat, a device that returns the body to a state of equilibrium even when it is subjected to stimuli that disturbs this balance. Everything is tied to this state of equilibrium, including the psyche and emotions, and nothing could be regarded as a separate component. To lead a healthy life, the condition of balance had to be maintained, This could only be achieved if the body had an adequate feedback system, a means by which signals were transmitted to different parts of the body to help move it back into balance when it moved too far off alkaline center.

This psychological viewpoint was shared by another philosopher, Epicurus (341-270 BC). In his writing he referred to psychological stress and suggested that an individual’s quality of life could be improved by coping with what we would now describe as emotional stressors.

As early as about 120 AD in India, Eastern philosophers had reached similar ideas about the importance of balance in health. A general medical textbook from that time, the Caraks, described health as a balance of bodily elements know as dhatus, and a happy mental state called prasana.

The Middle Eastern approach incorporated the Hindu teachings with the Greco-Roman medical doctrine. Being base upon both religious and philosophical ideas, Islamic healing involved both body and soul.

Over 1000 years later, during the Middle Ages in Europe, good health was still linked to this notion of balanced physical, emotional, and spiritual state. To help people achieve this state, European hospitals were set up by religious orders and attached to abbeys, monasteries, and convents. Doctors prescribed diet, rest, sleep, exercise, and salt baths.

In 1600 Thomas Sydenham had begun classifying diseases, even though he believed disease was a result of imbalance, consistent with Hippocrates and Galen.

In 1628 Harvey traced the circulation of the blood, arguably perhaps the single greatest achievement in medicine.

In 1753 James Lind showed that Scurvy could be reversed with the limes that contain limonene - an antitoxic or antacid.

Doctors began to lose their way in 1796. In 1796 Benjamin Rush observed that all fevers were associated with flushed skin, he concluded that this was caused by distended capillaries and reasoned that the proximate cause of fever must be abnormal "convulsive action" in these vessels. He took this a step further and conclude that all fevers resulted from disturbances of capillaries and since the capillaries were part of the circulatory system, he concluded that a hypertension of the entire circulatory system was involved. Rush proposed to reduce this convulsive action by "depletion" or bleeding. A reminder that the medical establishment’s acceptance of bleeding exists today in the name of the
British Journal "The Lancet" one of the leading medical journals in the world. Today bleeding is called phlebotomy.

Also, In 1796 Edward Jenner took the pus from the runny sores of sick cows and injected it into the blood of his "patients. He thought that since pus is seen routinely in all kinds of wounds, pus was seen as a necessary part of healing.

In 1788 vaccinia was the bacteria that medical science suggested caused cowpox.

In 1830 the development of the first modern day achromatic microscope.

In 1835, Harvard’s Jacob Bigelow argued in a major address that in "the unbiased opinion of most medical men of sound judgement and long experience . . . the amount of death and disaster in the world would be less, if all disease were left to itself."

In 1840 Jacob Henle in his essay, "On Miasmata and Contagia" first formulated the modern germ theory. He suggested that disease seem to germinate, grow and spread – like a first point or origin, a seed, a bacterium. The germ theory said that minute living organism invade the body, multiply and cause disease and that a specific germ causes a specific disease.

In 1850 Samule Thomson said, " May the time soon come when men and women will become their own priest, physicians and lawyers – when self-government, equal rights and moral philosophy will take the place of all popular crafts of every description . . False theory and hypothesis constitute nearly the whole art of medicine."

In 1860 Louis Pasteur suggested that living organisms, not a chemical chain reaction caused fermentation, winning converts to the germ theory.

In 1881 an American scientist George Sternberg was the first to isolate the fungus, pneumococcus and the first to observe the white blood cells engulfing bacteria, a key to understanding the immune system.

In 1882 a German, Robert Koch isolated the tubercle bacillus and declared it as the bacterium that caused tuberculosis that further confirmed the germ theory of Pasteur.

In 1884, German scientist Friedrich Loeffler isolated the diphtheria bacillus from throats of patients, grew it on a special medium (labs today call this Loeffler’s serum slope to grow the bacteria from suspected cases), and began carful experiments in animals that took several years. His work suggested that the bacteria themselves did not kill; the danger came from a toxin, diptherium, an acidic poison that the bacteria excreted as a waste product from sugar metabolism.

In 1885 Max von Pettenkofer insisted that Koch’s bacteria were only one of many factors in the causation of disease. His dispute with Koch became increasingly bitter and passionate. Petterkofer determined to prove himself right, prepared test tubes thick with lethal cholera bacteria. Then he and several of his students drank them down. All survived. Petterkofer claimed victory that germs do not cause disease.

In 1889 Pasteur’s proteges, Emile Roux and Alexandre Yersin grew broth thick with diphtheria bacteria and used compressed air to force broth through a filter of unglazed porcelain. The filter was designed by Charles Chamber land, a physicist working with Pasteur; though only a tool, the filter itself would prove to be immensely important. NO bacteria or solids could pass through the porcelain. Only liquid could. They then sterilized this liquid. It still killed. That proved that bacteria, an insoluble could not kill, but a soluble, an acidic toxin did the KILLING.

The cure from diphtheria was not in killing the bacteria but neutralizing the acids or excretions from the bacteria.

In 1900 Frederick Gates and intellect and Baptist Minister and an assistant to John D. Rockefeller, saw an opportunity to exploit the medical field because of its admitted uncertainty and ignorance of the time. He had organized many business ventures for the Rockfellers’ and convinced John D Rockefeller to open the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. The Rockefeller Institute saw medicine itself as its field from its earliest existence scientists studying disease based upon the germ theory of Pasteur.

In 1901, William Henry Welch was hired by John D. Rockefeller to set up the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. William Henry Welch was steeped in the germ theory and established its strong hold on the medical model. You might call Dr. Welch the Father of American Medicine and the perpetrator of the Pasteurian Germ Theory.

After the civil war medicine had discovered drugs – such as quinine, digitalis and opium of which Oliver Wendell Homes the physician Father of the Supreme Court justice said, "I firmly believe that if the whole materia medica, as now used, could be sunk to the bottom fo the sea, it would be all the better for mankind – and all the worse for the fishes."
In 1911, the head of the school training French army doctors in public health said that germs alone were "powerless to create an epidemic." But it was too late, this particular view was now considered simply a minority opinion. The germ theory now had its hold on the governments of the world!

In 1911, the medical establishments made up a story that Peyton Rous discovered a bacteria that caused cancer and received a Noble Prize for his discovery posthumous in 1966. This gave rise to the term virus named after Peyton Rous’s bacteria. Peyton Rous never suggested this in any of his research that his bacteria caused disease let alone cancer. This story gave rise to a new group of bacteria called filterable bacteria that the medical community now refers to as virus - beginning 1996. There is NO scientific evidence that shows that virus’s have ever caused ANY disease.
These ideas of balance were some distance from those of earlier societies that ascribed illness to the supernatural powers they believed governed their lives. The Babylonians, the Egyptians, the ancient Americans saw disease as an entity unto itself, a potent demon that struggled to dominate, attacked, penetrated, and possibly even killed its unfortunate host.

Offend the Gods, an ancestor, or an evil witch and be struck down as punishment. Lead a sinful life and you were tempting fate.
Of course, we perceive that these ideas about disease are no longer widely believed, which makes it all more the ironic that Pasteur’s germ theory has had and still has a stranglehold on 19th, 20th and now 21st century medicine. As medical writer Alberto Seguin described in an article entitled, "The Concept of Disease," the demonic idea of disease reached its full height with the germ theory. It became possible to bring together rational and scientific thought with irrational tendency to personalize disease. The germ in what ever name it is called, West Nile Virus, Ebola, Hunta, HIV, Anthrax, SARS and now AVIAN, are the scientific demon, the curse, the lie and the fraud that is said to attack and kill!

If we will consider disease as a symptom of disease not the cause, then the germ is nothing more than an expression of imbalance and a biological transformation of what use to be organized to that which is changing into a new form. This was my discovery in 1994. I witnessed biological transformation as seen on pg. 126 of my book "Sick and Tired" the transformation of a rod bacteria back into a red blood cell and then back into a bacterial rod. I knew for the first time that bacteria was not a demon, not an entity but a transformation, a new formation of a preceding form. Not the cause of disease but the expression of a change in the internal environment which had given rise to change. For several years I felt alone in this discovery until I learned of the works of the giants that proceeded me that had their finger on the magic of life.
Claude Bernard (1813-1878) "The terrain is everything the germ is nothing." And upon the death bed of Louis Pasteur admitting to Claude Bernard that he was right in 1895.

Antoine BeChamp (1816-1908) "Disease is born in us and from us."

Florence Nightingale - a famous nurse (1820 -1910)

Mathias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann (1839)

Gunther Enderlein ((1872- 1968)

Walter B. Cannon (1871-1945) "Only by understanding the wisdom of the body shall we attain the mastery of disease and pain that will enable us to relieve the burden of the people."

Royal Raymond Rife (1888-1971)

Wilhelm Reich (1897 - 1957)

Gaston Naessans (1924-2005)

Philosophically speaking, Pasteur had an ally in Napoleon III, who came to power in 1852. The Emperor believed in a police state and in using complete control to rule. Pasteur’s mechanistic idea of disease, finding the right cure for each germ, fit into this philosophy of control.

Giving the responsibility to the any government to cure disease is giving up control. It takes responsibility – and power – away from the individual. In the words of Antoine BeChamp, "there is nothing so false that does not contain some element of truth and so it is with the germ theory."

One of six of us will become diabetic
One of three of us will develop cancer
One of two of us will develop cardiovascular disease
One of six couples will suffer from unexplained infertility.
One of seven women in the US will develop breast cancer.

We need to get out to the disease business. If we want to understand health, energy and vitality then we need to study the people who are healthy. Over the last 25 years I have been studying health and how it relates to the blood. Viewing live and dried blood is the pinnacle of understanding health and how to achieve health with alkaline foods, drinks, exercise, breathing, getting adequate rest, etc.

Now, I pray and hope that you will realize that we are all responsible for our own health – you alone. A medical practitioner can only help to relieve symptoms. Ultimately, you are the one who has to take charge. Health is a choice just as disease is a choice. You are responsible for what goes into your mouth and what comes out of your mouth, as well as for what you think, feel and do. Health is all about choices and consequences.

The health and energy of the human organism is the knowledge that are bodies are alkaline by design and acidic by function and the best way to maintain that alkaline design is through an alkaline lifestyle and diet.

The National Cancer Institute Cancer Program For Prevention and Treatment From 1975 to 2007 - A Dismal Failure

2011-10-07T19:52:00.000-07:00

I have assessed the U.S. Natioal Cancer Program for prevention and treatment of various cancers using surgery, radiation and chemotherapy by analyzing the overall incidence and mortality rates of all cancers combined. The statistics used for the analysis are from the period 1975 to 2007 which include 1) the incidence rates of males and females, 2) the number of Americans afficted with a cancer, 3) the mortality rates of males and females and 4) the number of Americans who died from a cancer.

Two criteria were used to assess the progam of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in preventing cancer: thie incidence rate and the number of Americans afflicted by a cancer. A constant or increasing incidence rate over time, along with increasednumbers of those afflited indicates a dismal failure of the NCI program in the prevention of cancer. Also, if the incidence rate declines but the number of people afflicted increases, the NCI prevention program is deemed a dismal failure. A declining incidence rate, along with a declining number of those diagnosed with any specific cancer, however, indicates succes in the prevention of cancer.

The criteria used to assess the treatment side of the NCI program were the mortality rate and the numbers of Americans died from a specific cancer. A constant or increasing mortality rate of a cancer over time, along with increased numbers of deaths, indicates a failure of the NCI program in the treatment of cancer.

Also, if the mortality rate declines over time but the number of deaths increases, the NCI program for the treatment of that cancer is shown to be a failure. If the mortality rate decolines over time and then number of deaths declines, this indicates success in the treamten of cancer.

I will provide the data over time for 24 specific cancers.

The first cancer which had the highes incidence rate of any other cancer studied is the cancerous condition of the lung and bronchus.

CANCER OF THE LUNG AND BRONCHUS

The overall incidence rate rose from 52 per 100,000 population in 1975 to 61 per 100,000 in 2007.

In 1975, the incidence rate of males was a remarkable 90 per 100,000, much higher than that of females, which was 25 per 100,000. By 2007, the incidence rate of males had declined to 72 per 100,000, while that of females had increased to 53 per 100,000. Consequently, the gap between the tow genders has narrowed over time which may be a result of the increase of tobacco use by females.

Om 1975, the number of Americans diagnosed with lund cancer was 112,867, and by 2007 that number had increased to 180,000. the number of Americans diagnosed with lung cancer during 1975 to 2007 was a shocking total of 5.4 million.

The overall morality rate of lunger was 32.6 in 1975, and that rate increased to 50.7 in 2007. The mortality rate of males in 1975 was 74.5, much higher than that of females, at 17.6, in 2007, the rate of males declined to 65.2, while that of the females increased to 40.

In 1975, 91,918 Americans died from lung cancer using the standard protocols for cancer treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. By 2007, that number jumped to 152,539. the total number of deaths from lung and brochus cancer during this period was a shocking 4.6 million. That number indicates that, on an average, 85% of Americans diagnosed with lung and/or bronchus cancer will die from the cancer and/or the treatment of the cancer. Once again if you are diagnosed with lung or bronchus cancer you have a 15% chance of survival within the first year of diagnosis. After that it drops to ZERO! A VERY DISMAL STATISTIC.

CANCER OF THE LIVER AND INTRAHEPATIC BILE DUCT

The overall incidence rate of liver cancer surged from 2.6 in 1975 to 7.2 in 2007. In 1975, the incidence rate of males was 3.9 per 100,000, while that of females was 1.6 per 100,000. By 1975, the incidence rate of males has increased to 11.2 while that of females increased to 3.8.

The number of Americans diagnosed with liver cancer increased rapidly from 5702 in 1975 to 21,844 in 2007, representing an amazing 285% increase. The total number of Americans diagnosed with liver cancer during 1975 to 2007 was 378,311.

The overall mortality rate of liver cancer increased significantly, from 2.8 per 100,000 population in 1975 to 5.4 per 100,000 in 2007. The mortality rate of males was 3.8 per 100,000 in 1975, while that of the females was 2 per 100,000. By 2007, the rate of mortality for males had increased to 7.9, as compared with 3.2 for females. The faster increase in the mortality rate of the males than of the females over time resulted in a widening gap between the two genders. This I suggest is the increase in alcohol and sugar products in both males and females over time.

The numbers of Americans who died from liver cancer and its treatments increased from 6069 in 1975 to 16,202 in 2007. The total number of deaths from liver cancer during this period reach an all time high of 332,421.

These numbers indicated that on an average, 88% of Americans diagnosed and treated for liver and Intrahepatic bile cancer will die from that cancer and/or its treatment. This means that the survival rate for these cancers within the first year is only 12 percent going to ZERO after 1 year.

LEUKEMIA

The overall incidence rate of leukemia increased from 12.8 per 100,000 population in 1975 to 14 in 2007. Moreover, males had significantly higher incidence rates than females, In 1975, the incidence rate of males was 16.9, while that of females was 10, and by 2007, the rate of males had risen to 18.3, while that of females had increased to 10.8

The number of Americans diagnosed with leukemia increaed significantly from 27,601 in 1975 to 42,270 in 2007. The total numbr of people diagnosed with leukemia during the analysis period totaled 1.1 million.

The overall mortality rate of leukemia decreased from 8.1 in 1975 to 7.0 in 2007. This represents a decline of 0.45% per annum - a very small magnitude.

In addition, the mortality rate of males was 11 in 1975, while that of females was 6, and by 2007, the rate of males was 9.4 while that of females was 5.3.

The number of deaths from leukemia increased from 17, 472 in 1975 to 21,120 in 2007. The total number of daths from leukemia during 1975 to 2007 reached 659,574.

The ratio of those who died from leukemia to those who were diagnosed with that cancerous condition indicates, on average, 58% of Americans diagnosed with leukemia and treated will die from this cancerous condition using the current protocol.

MYELOMA

The overall incidence rate of myeloma increased by 20% over 1975 to 2007, rising from 4.9 per 100,000 to 6.0 per 100,000 in 2007. The incidence rate of males in 1975 was 6.4, while the rate for felmales was 3.9. Over time, the situation for both genders worsened so that by 2007, the incidence rate of males had risen to 7.8, while rate of females had reached 4.6.

The number of Americans diagnosed with myeloma also increased substantially over time from 10,604 in 1975 to 18,012 in 2007, a notable 70% increase. The total number of Americans diangosed with myeloma during the analysis period reached 474, 101.

The overall mortality rate of this cancerous condition rose from 2.9 in 1975 to 3.5 in 2007. With regard to gender, in 1975 the males once again had a higher mortality rate at 3.7 than the females at 2.4. Moreover, the mortality rate of males rose faster than that of females, to reach 4.4 by 2007, while the rate of females increased to 2.8.

The number of Americans who died from this cancerous condition and/or its treatment also increased substantially over time from 6350 in 1975 to 10,469 in 2007. The total number of deaths from myeloma during the analysis period was 305,693. This indicates that on average 64% of Americans diagnosed and treated within the first year will die.

CONCLUSIONS

Increasing mortality rates over 1975 to 2007 of these cancers indicates a failure of the US National Cancer Institute program of cancer prevention and treatment. Currently, there are three basic conventional approaches for the treatment of these cancers, approved by the NCI and the Food and Drug Administration - surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. It is obvious that the use of those modalities have been a failure in the prevention and the treatment of these cancerous conditions.

The failures on both the prevention and the treatment sides call for a basic restructuring of the National Cancer Institute and the US cancer program for prevention and treatment which has been a dismal failure.

Reversing Thalassaemia, Ulcerated Colitis, and Breast Cancer

2011-10-07T10:02:00.000-07:00

The following email is an unsolicited testimony of a young woman from England who has embraced the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet and has reversed her diagnosed conditions of Thalassaemia, Ulcerated Colitis, and Breast Cancer. This testimony is an example of millions of people around the world in over 72 countries who are dis-ease free, drug free and living a life of health, energy and vitality.

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

Hi Dr Young,

My name is Ulviye Ozevlat (Olivia). I am 41 years old mother of two and living in London, UK. I have always had low haemoglobin/low iron in my blood. My Doctor put this down to the fact that I was a Thalassaemia trait which is a blood disorder affecting haemoglobin and always prescribed me iron tablets in the form of Ferrous Fumarate 210mg. I took these tablets for about 7 years. I always felt extremely fatigued, dizzy and wanted to sleep all day. I had my second child in 1995 and soon after giving birth I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis which is a condition described as inflammation of a part of the large intestine accompanied with stomach pains, urge to go to the toilet with mucous and blood in faeces. I had this condition for about 14 years. On average I had a flare up of ulcerative colitis 2 to 3 times a year and when it came on it would last between a week and three weeks. I was prescribed Mesalazine 400mg (5-aminosalicylic acid) tablets, initially 4 tablets working up to 8 tablets depending on the severity. I had to go to 6 monthly appointments to have a regular check ups at the hospital, blood tests and colonoscopies.

My general health did not improve, I still felt very tired all day.

My partner Mehmet has always commented on how the doctors were only trying to control the disease rather than aiming at creating health. He practised Hypnosis and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and he was an expert in Human Nutrition as he was preparing to undertake a PhD in Alternative Medicine. Mehmet always argued with my doctors for their lack of knowledge and understanding in Nutrition. He was very familiar with Dr Robert Young's work and always tried to talk to me about it. He loved to research and he gave a lot of credit to The New Biology. In Mehmet's words: 'no other scientific explanation on human biology can even come close to making a true sense as that of The New Biology.'

In July 2009 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and underwent lumpectomy on my left breast. It was describes as aggressive grade 3 tumour. It was 1.7 centimetres big. I was advised by my oncologist to have chemotherapy and radiotherapy but I told them that I wanted to think about it. They agreed and booked another appointment in 2 weeks time. This is when my life began to change. I came home and told Mehmet that I was ready to embrace The pH Miracle protocol. I went on a juice diet for 7 days. I juiced everything from cucumbers, spinach, celery red peppers etc. I felt so ill I could not explain but I knew that my body was going through a healing crisis so I continued. After a week I introduced solid foods but all green vegetables. I gave up coffee, chicken, beef, dairy, bread, potatoes and rice. Was it difficult? Well of course but I began getting use to it. I soaked almonds overnight to have them as snacks the next day. Anything alkaline. I was drinking around 3 to 4 litres of green drinks a day with Purify pH drops. I added in The phour Salts to increase Alkalinity. Mehmet taught me to test the urine for acidity using pH Hydrion paper and explained to me how the acids in the body corrode our cells and tissues. I began to feel better and set myself a date to give up my Mesalazine tablets, and I did - 2 years without medication for Ulcerative Colitis. In the last 2 years I only had a flare up just twice (normally this would be 4 to 6 times) and it was a lot milder than before.

I went back to my oncologist and he asked, 'when are we going to do chemo?' 'Never' I said

'You are making a big mistake' he said. I said that I was feeling better so I wasn't prepared to go ahead with it.

I still continued with the diet, I was eating broccoli and avocado for breakfast! I used pHlavor Salt sprayed into my mouth 10 -15 times a day, powerful anti-oxidant Glutathione, anti-bacterial colloidal silver, alkaline Montmorillonite clay, N-Acetyl Cysteine, Co-enzyme Q10, Organic liquid chlorophyll, Aloe vera and lots more (too long to list here)

I has now been 2 years and 3 months (NO CHEMO, NO TAMOXIFEN and NO MESALAZINE for Ulcerative Colitis).

I have never felt this healthy in my life before!! Mehmet monitors everything I eat, controls all my supplements. I have to say that my Haemoglobin has shot up from all time of 8.0 g/dl (very low) to around 10.5 g/dl and that's without IRON TABLETS and this is all credit to Dr Young's good work and advice. I realised that I didn't need those acidic medications and Iron?? No, No. Last year

I met lovely Dr Young in London and had a meal together: Yes, you are right the meal was all vegetables, yummy! He told me that everything I was doing was great and to stick to it.

I don't remember a time in my life when I did not feel dizzy in the mornings or feel extremely tired during the day. All that is in the past. Two years without medication for my U.Colitis? The irony of it all is that I meant to be on medication for the rest of my life! Yeah right! As for my breast cancer, well my attitude to life has changed. People who come to our house to visit us, at first they expect a low-energy atmosphere. Absolutely not! People get shocked when they visit us. Health is everywhere all around us, there is positive energy everywhere and people comment on it. And it is contagious, people want to do the things we are doing.

Dr Young, I know that you have helped so many people change their lives, well, you truly have changed mine.

God Bless You,

Olivia

38 Things You Need To Do To Prevent or Reverse a Cancerous Condition

2011-10-06T22:31:00.000-07:00

Mesothelioma and the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet

Throughout the 20th century, a naturally-occurring mineral known as asbestos was used in a number of different applications. It was mainly utilized as insulation, piping, brake lining and flooring. It was ideal for these uses because of its durable and fire-resistant qualities.

In 1906, the first case of asbestosis was diagnosed proving that asbestos was indeed a hazardous material. But, even after it was discovered to be dangerous, asbestos was still widely used until the 1980s when regulations were put in place to restrict usage. However, asbestos has still not been completely banned.

Asbestos has also been identified as the only known cause of a rare and aggressive type of cancer known as mesothelioma. This type of cancer affects the lining of organs, most often the lungs but sometimes the stomach or even the heart. Mesothelioma does not usually show any symptoms until 20-50 years after exposure. Because of the long latency period, it is often diagnosed in its later stages and is difficult to treat. The typical mesothelioma survival rate is about 1 year.

Because of its widespread use, hundreds of thousands (if not, millions) of military veterans, firefighters, auto mechanics and people of numerous occupations have been exposed to asbestos and many are now developing related illnesses. This has led to many of these victims seeking out attorneys to help them get mesothelioma verdicts that would allow them to be compensated for their unjust illness.

If you’ve been diagnosed with mesothelioma, obviously your health and well-being is your first priority. The pH Miracle lifestyle and diet can be helpful alternative treatment to this terrible disease. The pH Miracle is based on what’s known as the "New Biology"(R) philosophy. In simplest terms, the "New Biology"(R) states that the over-acidification of the body is the single underlying cause of all disease. The pH Miracle lifestyle can turn your internal environment around so that ANY cancerous cannot thrive, by removing cancerous acidic toxins like asbestos and healing affected body tissues, safely.

Listen to one of our pH Miracles as he describes his reversal of mesothelioma - a cancerous condition caused by an environmental toxin called asbestos - using the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet.

Even the deadliest of acidic cancerous conditions can be reversed if they are caught early enough. If you have a family history of cancer, screening and early detection can make the difference between life and death. The early detection for any cancerous condition is a live and dried blood microscopy.

Avoiding known lifestyle risk factors for acidic cancerous conditions such as smoking and sugar help you prevent the "Big C." Remember, "the cure for cancer is found in its prevention NOT in its treatment," states Dr. Robert O. Young.

The Cause and Cure for Breast Cancer Found!

2011-10-04T06:04:00.000-07:00

What is the origin of cancer or where does cancer begin, especially breast cancer?

Cancerous tissue, above all other consequences of choice, has countless secondary causes. But even for a cancerous condition there is only ONE PRIME ORIGIN and CAUSE. I have simply summarized this origin and cause of cancerous tissue in a few words. The prime origin and cause of cancerous tissue is the over-acidification of the blood and then tissues due to acidic lifestyle and dietary choices. A cancerous tissue begins with our choices of what we eat, what we drink, what we think and how we live. Cancer is a liquid acid and this liquid acid is a toxic waste product from what we eat, what we think, acids from the environment and metabolism or energy consumption.

Breast cancer is caused when the body cannot eliminate its own acidic waste products through normal channels of elimination and these acids are deposited away from the organs that sustain life into the fatty tissues, i.e., the fatty breast tissues.

The cure for breast cancer is found in its prevention by minimizing acidic lifestyle and dietary choices and keeping the channels of elimination open for the removal of excess dietary and metabolic acid.

In 1966, Dr. Otto Warburg, who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1931 for his discovery of the cause of cancer delivered a lecture at an annual meeting of Nobelists at Lindau, Germany. In his speech he described the primal cause of cancer as follows: "The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar. All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation. All normal body cells are thus obligate aerobes, whereas all cancer cells are partial anaerobes. From the standpoint of the physics and chemistry of life this difference between nomal and cancer cells is so great that one can scarely picture a greater difference. Oxygen gas, the donor of energy in plants and animals is dethroned in the cancer cells and replaced by an energy yielding reaction of the lowest living forms. namely, a fermentation of glucose."

The following is a summary of understanding cancerous tissues: Cancer is not a cell but a poisonous acidic liquid. A cancer cell, is a cell that has been spoiled or poisoned by metabolism, environment or gastrointestinal acidic waste products.

A tumor is the body's protective mechanism to encapsulate spoiled or poisoned cells from excess acid that has not been properly eliminated through urination, perspiration, defecation or respiration. The tumor is the body's solution to protect healthy cells and tissues. Cancer is a systemic acidic condition that settles at the weakest parts of the body -not a localized problem that metastases. Metastases is localized acids spoiling other cells much like a rotten apple spoiling a bushel of healthy apples. There is no such thing as a cancer cell. A cancer cell was once a healthy cell that has been spoiled from dietary and metabolic acid. The tumor is not the problem but the solution to protect healthy cells and tissues from being spoiled from other rotting cells and tissues. The only solution to the acidic liquids that poison body cells causing the affect that medical savants call cancer is to hyper-perfuse the tissues with alkaline fluids from an alkaline lifestyle and diet.

In conclusion, the human body is alkaline by design and acidic by function! If we desire a healthy body we must maintain that alkaline design.

Does diet and lifestyle have anything to do with cancer?

Absolutely!

Cancer is not something we get it is something we do as a consequence of daily choice of what we eat, what we drink, what we think and how we live. We either have an alkaline lifestyle and diet and enjoy a fit and healthy body or we have an acidic lifestyle and diet and experience the aches, pains and suffering from metabolic acids. The former US Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop, had this to say about diet: "YOUR CHOICE OF DIET CAN INFLUENCE YOUR LONG TERM HEALTH PROSPECTS MORE THAN ANY OTHER ACTION YOU MIGHT TAKE."

If cancer is preventable how do we prevent it?

I have said many times that the cure for cancerous tissue will not be found in its treatment but in its prevention. That prevention can only be obtained by making healthier lifestyle and dietary choices. A cancerous condition is the consequence of choice. For example, if you want to reduce your risk for cancereous tissue of the lung by 100%, then stop smoking and stop associating or working around people that do smoke. Secondary smoke is just as acidic and damaging to the lung tissue. If don't want a cancerous liver then stop drinking alcohol and carbonated drinks. If you don't want a cancerous pancreas then stop eating the acid sugar. If you don't want a cancerous bowel then stop eating protein. It is that simple.

The following are a few research studies from around the world that substantiate my own findings:

Study: Human study at Harbin Medical College in China Results: CABBAGE was the most important single food in reducing the risk of stomach cancer.

Study: Italian study on Smokers Results: Smokers who consumed GREEN LEAFY and other VEGETABLES had a THREE FOLD REDUCTION in their risk of lung cancer with smokers who rarely ate vegetables.

Study: Hebel Cancer Institute in China Results: GARLIC, ONION AND TOMATO had the ability to INHIBIT the CELL MUTATION caused by common chemotherapeutic drugs... this is based on conclusive evidence that chemotherapy drugs cause cell mutations and lead to other types of cancers later in life.

Study: Mayo Clinic Results: Cancer patients receiving radiation therapy can benefit dramatically from optimal VEGETABLE based diets.

Study: University of Athens School of Medicine in Greece Results: Women who consumed the LOWEST level of vegetables had 10 TIMES the rate of BREAST CANCER compared to women consuming the HIGHEST level of vegetables.

Study: Human study in Australia Results: Consumption of CABBAGE, CARROTS AND GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES substantial protection against COLON CANCER.

Study: Aichi Cancer Institute of Japan Results: Eating VEGETABLES reduced the risk of CERVICAL and BREAST CANCER in women.

Study: Cancer Control Agency of British Columbia Results: Eating VEGETABLES dramatically reduced incidence of BREAST CANCER.

If I have cancer, such as breast, colon, lung, or prostate cancer can I reverse it naturally?

The answer to this question is absolutely! Once you understand the cause of ALL cancerous tissues as latent tissue acidosis you can then begin the process of reversing, regenerating and preventing the consequences of acidic choices by making healthier alkaline choices. The protocol for a healthier and energetic body, free from all sickness and dis-ease, is found in Chapter Eleven of our latest book, "The pH Miracle Revised and Updated."

In closing, I would like to share with you my vision of medicine in the 21st century. My vision of the relative purpose of medicine is to include prevention of illness and promotion of health and fitness rather than focusing all our attention on the diagnosis and treatment of disease. I believe the ultimate purpose of medicine is to help people discover something fundamental within themselves. And that is the awareness that the true source of well-being, joy, and contentment that we all seek lies within one's mind and heart - the emotions and the spirit - not in the physical world. This is important, so we can all begin to be freed from the process of grasping for happiness in this physical world. To support this approach, I believe we must begin to embrace a more spiritual vision of ourselves and of humanity as a whole. While providing great love, care and attention to the physical body, medicine can then and only then can we help people discover the nonphysical, spiritual dimensions of themselves. When this happens, we can all live and work with less fear, stress, grasping to preserve the physical body at all costs - we can truly be free.

What Do You Do When You Cannot Afford Health Insurance?

2011-09-29T16:12:00.000-07:00

I felt you would enjoy reading the appended article below which is REALLY important. I like the phrase "Do-Over", but an "Alkaline Do-Over" is not only better, it is the way to go if you are seeking health, energy, youth, vitality and fitness. :-)

After viewing over 500,000 blood samples of over 40,000 people in over 72 countries I have concluded that certain lifestyle and dietary habits have the ability to turn genes "off and on". The living intelligent indestructibility of the microzymas that make up the human or animal gene can alter its state from a healthy gene state to an unhealthy gene state or reverse. This is determined by our own personal lifestyle and dietary choices that will determine the healthy or unhealthy state of the gene.

In the article below, "eating three quarters of a cup of broccoli four times a week turns on the GSTM1 gene. That gene makes protein that kills prostate, breast and colon cancer cells." Just imagine what a scoop of organic raw alkalizing Doc Broc Power Plant Greens can do which contains a 28 to 1 concentration of broccoli sprouts!

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/p-378-doc-brocs-power-plants.aspx

And just imagine..."Avoiding saturated fat in beef, pork, poultry, butter and cream also turns off aging genes." What a gang-buster! All you need to do to change the genes from an unhealthy state to a healthy state is change your dietary, nutritional and lifestyle choices to an alkaline lifestyle and diet. I call this lifestyle and diet the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet. And, you can learn more about the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet by going to our websites at:

www.phmiracleliving.com or
www.articleofhealth.blogspot.com

I also love the reference in the article about doing it all without insurance.

That's right! You can prevent and reverse the aging process and prevent or reverse so-called disease or dis-ease by changing to an alkaline lifestyle and diet. Save your money on expensive insurance premiums and put that money to something that is proactive and protective against sickness and dis-ease - good health and fitness. Now you have a real insurance plan.

I canceled our family health insurance plan over 30 years ago. Why? Because we NEVER get sick on the alkalizing pH Miracle Diet! Just think of the thousands of dollars that I have saved! But more important just think of the pain and suffering our family has prevented and avoided. This is why I have said to millions of people around the world that we need more education NOT more medication.

ANOTHER THOUGHT.... occasionally, I have a client who seems to be doing "everything" right, yet her/his health condition is still getting worse. Why? These particular people just don't like broccoli and think "pH Balancing" will work without eating the broccoli if they just do the alkalizing Young pHorever pHour Salts. They are actively or even subconsciously avoiding broccoli. The broccoli sprouts is the key component to my anti-aging and anti-cancerous protocols. I just happen to have it in just about every Young pHorever/pH Miracle product that I have developed. The Young pHorever Doc Broc Power Plant Green Powder is loaded with broccoli sprouts and should be taken several times a day in water or mixed into foods. As Doc Broc would say, "You can't do it without ME!" Doc Broc is the Superhero of my anti-aging and anti-cancerous protocols!

In addition, of course, to "pHyllis", the pH nag! She would not let you go a day without drinking your Doc Broc Power Plant Green drink. She recommends you drink at least 4 liters of Doc Broc Power Plant Greens everyday. The amount of Doc Broc Power Plant Greens you should drink is based upon a man or woman who weighs 154 pounds or 70 kilos.

To order your Young pHorever Doc Broc Power Plant Green Powder packed with broccoli sprouts at a 28 to 1 concentration go to:

Reported July 9, 2009

Life is a Do-Over

CLEVELAND (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Our leading killer remains what it has been every year since 1900: heart disease. It kills nearly 650,000 each year. We can only blame ourselves. Our own bad habits such as smoking, no exercise and fat-ridden diets are the main causes of heart disease. But did you know you can reverse the damage that's been done?

Pattiy Hill was a yo-yo dieter who rarely exercised. She was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and joint problems. Hill was 51 years old and fading fast.

"I had been fat for so long," Hill told Ivanhoe. "I wanted to live, and I knew fat people don't grow old."

At 280 pounds, Hill wanted a do-over.

"We get a do-over," Michael Roizen, M.D., Chief Wellness Officer at the Cleveland Clinic, told Ivanhoe. "If you change your habits now, within three years, it's like you only had the healthy habit."

Put down that cigarette. In five years, a smoker's lungs can heal.

"If you quit before age 35 and before 20 pack years, which is one pack a day for 20 years, you get all of it back," Dr. Roizen explained. "The longer you wait to quit, and the more you smoke, the less you get back, but even at age 60, you get some of it back."

You can also change the way your genes function. "Just changing your habits changes whether your genes are on or off," Dr. Roizen said.

Eating three quarters of a cup of broccoli four times a week turns on the GSTM1 gene. That gene makes a protein that kills prostate, breast and colon cancer cells.

"You get to turn on a gene that helps you kill those cancers with something as simple as having broccoli," Dr. Roizen said.

About 12 walnut halves a week doubles the amount of Omega-three that most of us have.

"It decreases the risk of stroke or heart attack by 62 percent," Dr. Roizen said.

Avoiding saturated fat in beef, pork, poultry, butter and cream also turns off aging genes.

Diet and exercise are other ways to take the years off.

Hill lost 136 pounds the old-fashioned way. In 13 months, she cut her body fat from 60 percent to 20 percent and went from a size 24 to a slender size four.

"I looked at it as a way to help myself rather than depriving myself," Hill explained.

Hill is now free of diabetes. Her high blood pressure and high cholesterol are gone along with her joint pain.

"It's turned my life around 100 percent," Hill said. "I feel so healthy now, and I am so healthy now."

So keep Hill in mind when you do-over, and be sure to do it right.

If you're using money or insurance as an excuse, think again. Hill lost all her weight while she was uninsured. The only money she spent was on a gym membership. The savings on her medications she used to take has more than paid for that.
