As I head into July Blog Post trying to understand the process leading to cancer. Cancer is a natural process where an over worked and weakened immune system can’t kill it as quickly as it is multiplying. Therefore toxins, carcinogens, radiation, even viruses, combined with an unhealthy internal environment; and in conjunction with a weakened immune system, cause more cells to turn cancerous and allows them to thrive.
Just as we couldn’t live on mars without oxygen, cancer can’t exist in cells where there is enough oxygen. Therefore some experts will say, “in the earth atmosphere due to global change and lessening oxygen levels all to often our cells are low in oxygen.” All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy need in great part by fermentation.
The underlying cause of all cancer, no matter what type, may have been discovered over 50 years ago by Otto Warburg. Whereas he also stated in “The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer,” that the cause of cancer is no longer a mystery. We know it occurs whenever any cell is denied 60% of it’s oxygen requirements. Therefore the primary cause of cancer no matter the type is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar.
More recently J.B. Kizer a biochemist and physicist at Gungnir Research in Portsmouth, Ohio explained, “since Warburg discovery this has been the only physiological difference consistently found between normal healthy and cancerous cells. That all normal cells are obligate aerobes, whereas, cancerous cells are partial anaerobes.” In chemistry, alkali solutions (pH over 7.0) tend to absorb oxygen while acids (pH under 7.0) tend to expel oxygen.
Thereby when the body becomes acidic by dropping below a pH level of 7.0 (oxygen is driven out of the body inducing cancer) Therefore, blood must always remain at an alkaline level of 7.4 so it retains it’s oxygen. When adequate mineral consumption is in your diet, the blood is supplied the crucial minerals required to maintain and alkaline pH of 7.4.
However when insufficient mineral consumption is in the diet, the body is forced to rob Peter (other body fluids) to pay Paul (the blood.) In doing so it removes crucial minerals, such as calcium from the Saliva, spinal fluids, kidneys, liver etc., in order to maintain the blood level at a pH of 7.4. This causes the demineralization of fluids and organs to become acidic and therefore, anerobic.
Everybody knows the human body is made up of 78% water by weight, and that water is hydrogen and oxygen gases. When nitrogen gas and carbon in the form of carbon dioxide and methane gases are added, the total gas in the body by weight becomes over 95%. Almost half of the remaining 5% that makes up the human body and controls all biological functions is the mineral calcium.
No other mineral is capable of performing as many biological functions as is calcium. It is the calcium ions are responsible for feeding every cell. It does this by latching onto seven nutrient molecules and one water molecule and pulls them through the nutrient channel. It then detaches it’s load and returns to repeat the process.
Another important biological job for calcium is DNA replication which is concealed for maintaining youth and a healthy body. DNA replication is the basis for all body repair and can only occur on a substrate of calcium, thereby, low calcium means low body repair and premature aging. Calcium to acid is like water to fire… calcium quickly destroys oxygen robbing acids in the body fluids.
Thus the more calcium, the more oxygen and therefore, the less cancer and other degenerative disease. As important as all these and hundreds of other biological functions of calcium are to human health, none is more important than the job of pH control. Oxygen is essential to metabolize food and create high energy, it is also impossible for cancer to exist in an alkaline oxygen – rich environment.
In the 1950’s Dr. Carl Reich MD., discovered that his patients were able to cure themselves of almost all degenerative diseases by consuming several times the RDA amount of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and other vital nutrients. Dr. Reich was the first North American Doctor to prescribe mega doses of minerals and vitamins. Also is considered by many to be the father of preventive medicine.
By the 1980’s Dr. Reich had cured thousands, however, lost his liscense for explaining the consumption of mineral nutrients, such as calcium, could prevent cancer and a host of other diseases. This concept was considered too simple to accept by the medical profession of that day. However, by the late 1990’s other medical men of wisdom were also discovering that calcium supplements could prevent cancer.
