When I think about thoseinfants and childrenbeing pushed through a parking lot in a stroller at the same level as exhaust pipes of cars. Or playing out in the yard, crawling on a carpet after someone walked on the lawn that has been treated with fertilizer. Even the times when I have seen a new borne whose mother has smoked during the pregnancy.
Also the times kids have to endure their parents second hand smoke it’s amazing in the United States only seven children succumb to cancer daily. While some hospital rankings is better than others, yearly 13,500 children are diagnosed with cancer and 2500 will die. On average 36 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer everyday.
Cancer is the leading cause of death in children under the age of 15 in the United States (one in five children diagnosed will die within 5 years and one in three children diagnosed will not live – out a normal life span.) Many pediatric cancers, for instance neuroblastoma and disseminated medulloblastoma are terminal upon progression or recurrence. With the average age of death for a child with cancer being 8 years causing a child to lose 69 years of life expectancy (Neuroblastoma Survivor Stories.)
Cancer kills more children than AID’s, asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrois and congential anomalies combined. Despite these facts, childhood cancer research is vastly and consistently underfunded, 74% of childhood cancer survivors have chronic illness. While 40% of childhood cancer survivors have severe illnesses or die from such illnesses and are at significant risk for secondary cancers later in life.
Basically estrogen dominance…. reflects hormone imbalance and out of balance hormones can affect women from 14 to 94. Therefore, how does one become estrogen dominate? Our food chain that’s ridden with pesticides, herbicides and growth hormones…. is a sea of endocrine – disrupting toxic chemicals that mimic estrogen in the body.
If we’re over weight… our body’s store excess fat that can be converted into estrogen. Insulin resistance also leads to estrogen dominance, then you have the estrogen found in ERT, HRT and Birth Control pills. ESTROGEN DOMINANCE can also occur in men, as they age, estrogen gradually rises, while saliva levels of progesterone and testosterone gradually falls.
It’s often found that men of fifty having higher saliva levels of estrogen than woman of fifty? A sign of estrogen dominance in men is tendency for some to develop breast. An imbalance of hormone ~ related health problems such as PMS, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, infertility, post – partum depression, weight gain, increased blood clotting and thyroid dysfunction.
With worse case scenario being breast and uterine cancer in women and breast cancer, prostate problems and prostate cancer in men. Estrogen dominance can be detected by taking a saliva test, where as this simple test procedure can accurately reveal hormone levels. Therefore, men can also take this simple saving face at ~ home test determining if their hormones are out of balance too.
What’s interesting about melatonin…. is it’s levels start to wane as we age (certain indications seem to alter it’s levels in our body as well.) While the long ~ term side effects of frequently altering our natural melatonin secretion is not completely understood. However, there is some concern that long ~ term alterations to normal secretion patterns can have various detrimental effects (night workers and their overall health.)
Earlier studies suggest that there may be some benefit from melatonin use in patients with cancer. Some studies suggest patients on melatonin had better response to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients; and some of the side effects and anxiety associated with the therapy some what mitigated. As researchers found there was a 34 percent relative risk reduction in death in the melatonin user group.
Another study looked at patients…. whom had advanced cancer of the breast, lung, gastrointestinal tract, head and neck. Thereby, when given chemotherapy, either alone or with 20 mg/day of melatonin. There was a reduction in side effects of low platelet count, fatigue, mouth sores, heart complications and neurotoxicity in the melatonin group with higher rates of survival than non – melatonin group.
Because melatonin has antioxidant effects in our body there is a growing interest in it’s benefit for patients with neurodegenerative disease, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. There is even growing interest in using melatonin for stroke patients, those with high blood pressure and even some indications melatonin may be helpful for migraine headaches.
There was a study that looked at migraine sufferers who were given 3mg of melatonin about 30 minutes before bed time every night for three months and of the patients whom finished the study. Two – thirds of the patients seemed to have a 50 percent reduction, severity and duration of there migraine headache.
Past research has indicated Omega – 3 fatty acidsfound in fatty fish, other foods and supplement form decreases your risk for cardiovascular events. However, new research stakes claim indicating a higher risk for developing prostate cancer in men. While some experts have expressed skepticism about the study’s findings, men taking the supplement should thrown caution to the wind weighing the pro’s and con’s.
The study conducted at Seattle’sFred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, researchers studied 843 men who had prostate cancer and another group of 1,883 men who didn’t have cancer. They found that the prostate cancer patients had greater levels of the omega – 3 fatty acids in their blood than those in the non – cancer group.
They also found high concentrations of three anti – inflammatory and metabolically related fatty – acids called, eicosapentaenoic acid or EPA, eocosapentaenoic acid or DPA and docosahexaenoic acid – DHA that are found in fatty fish. Such as salmon as well as in supplement form are linked with a 71 percent increased risked of developing the high – grade prostate cancer, the kind that is often fatal.
The Seattle Study also revealed that too much fatty -acid can also lead to a 44 percent increase in the risk of low – grade prostate cancer which grows more slowly, as well as an overall 43 percent increase in risk for all forms of prostate cancer. The researchers also said, “the consistency of their findings suggest fatty – acids are connected with the development of prostate tumors.
The researchers are unclear about “why,” high levels of omega – 3 fatty – acids would increase prostate cancer risk. However, they point out omega – 3 fatty acids convert into other compounds that could damage cells and DNA, and their role in immunosuppression. Therefore, always use caution when you increase your dosage of omega – 3 fatty acids, and when you chose a brand consider potential risk factors.
This is my belief from talking to experts: always purchase high quality standardized supplements and in the case of fish oil supplements. Purchase a product that has been molecular distilled, crude fish oil has a lot of gunk, a pinch of mercury and dash of industrial contaminants like PCB & Dioxins as elements. Molecular Distilled removes these elements and in it’s purest form, Omega – 3 has less odor, rancidity and oxidation when consumed in a timely manner. Therefore is Fish Oil A Rip Off 0R NOT?
Important NOTE: **Always buy a fish oil supplement from a glass bottle and if the capsules cling together in the bottle when shaken instead of rattle don’t buy them? Food Can Be The Best Choice!!
Everyone has cancer cells in their body… so why does one person get diagnosed and another never gets diagnosed? Cancer is almost always caused by a multi — step sequence of events. Mostly, it’s nasty microbes (viruses, bacteria, fungi & yeast and parasites.) Generally from meat NOT cooked adequately intercepting glucose headed to cells in organs.
As these microbes excrete mycotoxins which are highly acidic and worthless to the cells. Because the cells live in a Sea of Filth, not getting the nutrition they need; the cells become weak and expose to free radicals as carcinogens are introduced on a daily basis. Because of this singular weakness the immune system becomes weaken, actually these microbes weaken the immune system directly and indirectly.
Because of the immune system weaken state: it can’t kill enough cancer cells and the cancer grows abnormally while becoming angiogenesis. Thus the ‘root cause” of cancer is microbes that are in the organs or blood stream. Whereas this weaken immune system produces an acidic environment from the amount of filth in the body which the heighten cancer cells provide. SEE The Book: “Fire in the Belly,” by Dr. Keith Scott Mumby M.D.
While some Institutions state, cancer patients are termed “SURVIVORS,” from the moment they hear You Have Cancer. Others state, the only way one earns that distinction; five – years after they hear those “Magical 3 Words” your cancer free. So if it’s your logical goal to become a survivor it’s always important to keep educating and re – educating yourself of the choices you may have and the internet has tons of information.
With little changing: since the 1950’s and the cancer rates being 1 in 7 back then compared to 1 in 3 people today, cancer is on a death spiral to our health care system. That’s right with an overall worse cancer incident rate compared to 63 years ago it’s putting a tremendous burden on our ailing pharmaceutical industry having incredible promise ( felt with the greatest optimism) and incurable complexity (lots of duress to Americans with it’s inflection point.)
With a disease covering five broad groups of cancers producing over 200 different types. In this last important video, Dr. Jay Bradner M.D., Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Broad Institute discuss the history of cancer therapies. How far it has become and where it might possibly be headed with targeted therapy and personalized approaches. Therefore, the patient main responsibility…. when walking through the door of a clinic should be understanding for themselves the hardwiring of cancer (why they have the disease and changes they need to change to overcome.)

When I look back through “blog roll” or “top tags” of Solitarius.org while searching for answers to cancer in this centralized hub of cancer research. Just like you ~ still to this day: One — I’m fascinated by all the options when it comes to treatment. Two — the month of July, I brought forth the best treatments, and Three — I found the ketogenic diet one of the most promising treatments of /and prevention for cancer. What with cancer treatment having all it’s negative side effects with robust cost one should consider a cancer fighting bodyas a key to longevity.
When you replace refined and starchy carbohydrates with healthy fat and high quality protein sources and not synthetic protein sources. The premise is cancer cells need glucose to thrive and carbohydrates turn into glucose. Then lowering glucose levels in your blood though carbohydrate and protein restriction should starve cancer cells. Additionally, than low protein intake tends to minimize the mTOR pathway that accelerates cell proliferations including cancer cells.
Dr. Thomas Seyfried, whom is one of the leading pioneers promoting nutrition in combating cancer, however, is cautious in his evaluation of mTOR pathway and reducing protein for cancer prevention. In his view the most important aspect of cancer prevention and treatment is fasting intermittently, or overall calorie restriction which includes eating less of everything period while getting more exercise /Bicycling.
Dr. Seyfried states, “while calories from carbohydrates should be virtually eliminated, calories from protein just need to be reduced. While most people need to increase their healthful fat consumption with a more ideal ratio of good fat to protein.” The mechanism by which ketogenic diets manage epileptic seizures is unknown. However in the case of cancer it’s well established lowering glucose starves cancer cells, however, what is also known the diet can be hard to stay on for any length of time.
The BRAIN being the most complex part in the human body and within this three pound organ amazing functions occur ( sense of touch, smell, sight, move, feel , hear and ability to think.) It controls and contorts your thoughts and emotions, receives and analyzes information while storing memory. The brain produces electrical signals which together with chemical reactions allows the body to communicate in unison.
Although the brain is only 2% of the body weight, it uses 20% of the oxygen supply and gets 20% of the blood flow. Blood vessels (arteries, capillaries and veins) supply the brain with oxygen and nourishment, and takes away waste. The brain and spinal cord makes up the central nervous system (CNS) while the brain is connected to the spinal cord which runs from the neck to the hip area.
The nerves connecting the CNS to the rest of the body called peripheral nervous system, which the autonomic nervous system controls our life support system that we don’t consciously control, like breathing, digesting food and blood circulation works marvelously well together. The cells of the nervous system are quite fragile and need extensive protection from being crushed, infected by disease organisms and other harm.
The brain, spinal cord are covered by a tough, translucent membrane called the dura mater. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, watery liquid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, is also found throughout the ventricle (brain cavities and tunnels.) CSF cushions the brain and spinal cord from jolts. The blood brain barrier protects the brain from chemical intrusion from the rest of the body.
Blood flowing into the brain is filtered so that many harmful chemicals can not enter into the brain. However, occasionally events unfold – in – an – instance messages go haywire. Therefore scientistdon’t fully understand what causes Alzheimer’s disease, however, are learning that age -related changes in the brain may harm neurons and contribute to the disease.
However for that to be the case wouldn’t it make sense for whomever would age they would end – up with Alzheimer, and it simply just doesn’t work that way period. Therefore the likely cause may stem from a mix of genetics, environmental factors and lifestyle choices. Taking a look at genetics and for those patients with “late – onset” Alzheimer developing after age 60…. let’s take a look at the possibility0f NEW Treatment.
Many studies have been done that linked the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene to ‘late – onset” Alzheimer and this gene with it’s many forms: one being APOE e4 which seems to increase a person’s risk of getting the disease. However carrying APOE e4 genes does not necessarily mean that a person will develop Alzheimer, while some people carrying no APOE e4 gene can also have development the disease.
So like brain tumors, the best way to avoidAlzheimerDisease is to avoid certain environmental agents like aluminum and vinyl chloride, and also extreme therapeutic radiation therapy. While eating a diet rich in omega – 3 fatty acid from fish. In addition, vegetables and fruits rich in anti oxidants, while foods rich in B-vitamins, especially vitamin B-12 has shown it can reduce your risk for Alzheimer Disease.
Also as the human body ages it has been shown a lesser ability to absorb vitamin B-12. Therefore after the age of 60 years we should have our blood levels of vitamin B-12 checked and proven deficient we should consider an injection. Especially if you consume high levels of alcohol which also has been shown to – lead – to liver disease which in turn can spread to the brain. The following is a list – of – links of the better optionsone may have in their battle of Brain Cancer (Alzheimer Disease!!!)
Swedish Neuroscience Institute: provides acclaimed advanced progressive treatment for a wide range of brain, spine and nervous system conditions….
Skull Base Institute: Dr. Hrayr Shahinian is regarded as a pioneering expert utilizing minimally invasive endoscopy for brain tumors….
Bone Cancer: unfortunately, doctors have been unable to pinpoint any preventative techniques specific toprimary bone cancer, as this rare form of the disease accounts for less than 1 percent of all cancer diagnoses. However, researchers have identified several key risk factors you should be concerned about this potentially deadly disease and bone sarcomas.
Secondary Bone Cancer usually results from the metastasis, or spread of other forms of cancer into the bones. For this to happen the original form of cancer must remain undetected and untreated for a considerable period. If you’ve already contracted a form of cancer and want to stop it from spreading to your bones. Follow your oncologist’s advice… complete all prescribed treatments in full.
Bladder Cancer: your best bet isto avoid possible carcinogens or cancer causing substances. For starters don’t smoke, consume smoked or cured meats and prefer fresh to process foods. Research also suggest: that there is a reduced incidence by including beta-carotene, vitamin B6 and selenium in your diet. If you work around carcinogenic chemicals, follow the safety guidelines to avoid undue exposure. In theory, drinking liquids, especially water, may dilute toxic substances that may be concentrated in your urine and flush the symptoms out of your bladder more quickly.
With men up to four times more likely than women of getting bladder cancer, it occurs twice as often in Caucasians as it does in African American and Hispanics. While Asians have the lowest rate of developing the disease. Bladder cancer with it’s 50% to 80% chance of returning after treatment (this rate is the highest rate of any cancer including skin cancer.) People whom work in the rubber, chemical, and leather industries, as dry cleaners or hair dressers. Along with machinists, metal workers, printers, painters, textile workers and truck drivers have higher risk.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXmwXdtICAk Breast Cancer: as a women ages and starts to go through menopause the shift from a balance of estrogen – progesterone, shifts to a greater degree of estrogen. That dominance in estrogen…. can promote the growth of some breast cancers which are called hormone – sensitive or hormone dependent breast cancers. Breast tissue developing from prenatal stages until the time of birth and breast feeds are vulnerable. As these breast structures that have not gone through the full sequence of development are particularly sensitive to the detrimental effects of environmental toxins. Broccoli Sprouts!!!
Inflammatory Breast Cancer(IBC) is the most aggressive form of breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society it accounts for only 1% to 5% of all invasive breast cancers. However, the five year overall survival rate is 40% compared to nearly 90% for all other types of breast cancer combined. The symptoms of IBC actually are not caused by any inflammation, rather by cancer cells blocking lymph vessels in the skin and soft tissue.
Colorectal Cancer: The National Cancer Institute recommends a low – fat, high fiber diet that includes at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. While reducing the major sources of fat in your diet (limit meat, eggs, dairy product, cooking oils and salad dressings.) Also after the age of fifty to get a regular ten year checkupand colonoscopy to determine if you may have any troublesome precancerous polpys. When I was 48 years old this procedure turned my life around taking me back 15 years when the proctologist removed a colony of hemorrhoids and a polpy.
Gynecological Cancer: while there is no guarantee to prevent these types of cancers, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk. One way is with yearly examinesand inside knowledgeof warning signs, which is unusal bleeding after menopause, pain and pressure, changes in bowel or bladder habits and thickening or lumps that causes pain or can be seen or felt. To reduce your risk: do not smoke, limit fat intake, get regular medical examinations, limit alcohol intake, pay attention to changes in your body and exercise daily for at least 30 minutes 0f Ungirdled Truths!!!
In the United States this year 90,000 women will be diagnosed with gynecological cancer, half being cervical cancer about 30,000 patients will die with ovarian cancer being the deadliest. It’s worth repeating again the symptoms usually go unnoticed: vaginal bleeding and discharge, changes in the skin of the valva, vaginal itching and burning, back and abdominal pain, being tired all the time while having to pass urine more often than usual and bloating. It’s always recommended that women seek care of the symptoms if they have persisted for two weeks.
Leukemia: there is no known way to prevent most types of blood borne cancers, however, most people don’t know the risk factors. Avoiding any high doses of radiation and chemotherapy used to treat previous cancer can be a forerunner. Also avoiding exposure to benezene a chemical by – product of coal and petroleum used mainly in gasoline, and any others such as paints, solvents, plastics, pesticides and detergents. While those working with the products should always consider protective clothing and special care.
When you have Leukemia: the bone marrow starts to make a lot of abnormal white blood cells, called Leukemia cells. They don’t do the work of normal white blood cells, leukemia cells grow faster than normal cells and don’t stop growing when they should. Overtime leukemia cells can crowd out the normal blood cells, this can lead to serious problems such as anemia, bleeding and infections. Leukemia cells can also spread to the Lymph nodes or other organs causing swelling and pain.
The liver performs many important functions, such as removing toxins and other chemicals waste products from the blood and readying them for excretion. Because the liver is usually accessible to cancer cells traveling the blood stream it can be affected by primary liver cancer. Which arises in the liver or by cancer which forms in other sites and than spreads to the liver. In the United States…. primary liver cancer strikes twice as many men as women at an average age of 67 years old.
Lung Cancer: 0f the estimated 580,350 men and women whom will die 0f cancer in 2013 (160,000 will die of lung cancer.) Being 90% of lung cancer can be prevented through actions and awareness (cigarette smoke is the leading cause followed by radon gas in the home.) Buyer Beware: if you smoke stop and if you don’t smoke don’t start, if you live in a home that’s new… still have your basement tested for radon gas…. because of the tightly seal and heavily isolation… radon levels maybe high.
Still it is estimated that 90% of lung cancer could be prevented each year through action and awareness. Smoking cigarettes and tobacco use by any means is responsible for 87% of lung cancer in the United States. Therefore, quitting smoking at any time can lower the risk of developing lung cancer and if you already have cancer it could prevent a secondary more aggressive type from recurring. Each year lung cancer affects over 370,000 Americans, what type of robust effect would it have on health care if everybody would QUIT!! Know YourOptions Beforehand?
Melanoma: you can lower your risk 0f the deadliest form 0f skin cancer by protecting yourself from exposure to UV Radiation from the sun with slip! slop! slap! and wrap! Ounce 0f Prevention beats a pound of cure?
* Slip on a shirt.
* Slop on sunscreen.
* Slap on a hat.
* Wrap around sunglasses.
While avoiding severe sunburns by avoiding being outdoors in direct sunlight to long, especially between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm when the UV light is strongest. If your unsure of the suns intensity use the shadow test and if your shadow is shorter than you are ~ it’s important to have some form of protection. Therefore, you don’t need to know the new medical breakthroughs.
Melanomais less common than other skin cancers, however, it is much more dangerous if not found early causing 75% of the deaths related to skin cancer. Worldwide doctors diagnose about 160,000 new cases of melanoma yearly. In women the most common site is the legs and in men it’s the back because those area’s are the most likely to be left exposed for the greatest length of time. All cancers are caused by damage to the DNA inside cells, this damage can be inherited through genetic mutations, however, more likely it builds through a person’s lifetime and caused by environmental issues.

Non Hodgkins Lymphoma: the exact cause is unknown, however, certain risk factors exist. While certain viruses (like H.I.V., Epstein Barr, Human-T cell Leukemia and Virus 1.) and also bacteria caused by the Helicobacteria pylori and celiac disease that can increase your risk of developing B – cell or a rare T – cell lymphoma.
Also in a small number of cases, working with chemicals such as insecticides and herbicides seemingly increase the risk of developing lymphoma and conditions that include rheumatoid arthritis, haemolytic anaemia, sjogren’s syndrome, lupus and psoriasis that can affect your immune system and heighten your risk.
Dr. Richard Becker, D.O. physician in North Texas where he and his wife Host Your Health. In 1997, Dr. Becker was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, while also immersing himself into the world of Natural Healing. Which he states, some of the things he learned in that time ~ fight to survive led to the formation of Bio Innovations. In some ways this person mentor me through being a loyal watcher of his show and making a big impact on this website!!
Pancreatic Cancer: fortunately cancer of the pancreas is relatively rare, however, your risk of developing this dreadful disease triples if your mother, father, sister or brother had the disease. Please remember though most people with family history doesn’t mean you will get pancreatic cancer. That said, first thing first smokers are more likely than non smokers of developing the disease. Also a study that was conducted from University of California at San Francisco found that eating five plus servings of yellow, orange or green veggies HELP!
Pancreatic Cancer remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat, due to it’s extreme resistance to treatment and few early symptoms. At the time of initial diagnosis 50% of patients usually have distant metastases of the liver of peritoneal surface and more than 80% of the remaining patients have locally advanced tumors. The majority 95% are adenocarcinomas that mainly develop from exocrine cells in the tissues of the pancreas. These tumors are also characterized by an aggressive behavior with fast progression and highly metastatic.
In contrast, neuroendocrine tumors of pancreatic origin, also known as pancreatic NET or islet cell tumors; are not as common <2% and are considered less deadly. Illustrating the difference, however, between the two, Hollywood actor Patrick Swayze had stage IV exocrine cancer that already spread to his liver March 2008 and lost his battle September 2009 at age 57. Likewise, Apples’s Steve Jobs under went surgery for NET in 2004 and didn’t succumb until October 2011 at age 56.
Prostate Cancer: most cases are slow growing, however, there are instances of aggressive prostate cancers. The cancer cells may also metastasize (spread) from the prostate to other parts of the body. Particularly the bones and lymph nodes causing pain, also difficulty urinating, problems with sexual inter course or erectile dysfunction. Globally it is the sixth leading cause of cancer related death in men (being first in the U.K. and second leading in the United States.)
Prostate Cancer: many risk factors such as age, race, and family history can not be controlled. However, the effect of body weight, physical activity and diet on prostate risk are not clear, but there may be things you can do that might lower your risk. Several studies also suggest that diets high in certain vegetables (including tomatoes, cruciferous vegetables, soy, beans and other legumes) or fish with their omega 3 contentfor cancer preventionversus treatment.
Thyroid Cancer: risk factors like frequent head and neck X – rays exposes the thyroid to radiation which can increase your risk over time. While lack of iodine does not directly cause thyroid cancer, it has been linked to goiter, which in turn increases your risk for developing the disease. In most cases the cause of thyroid cancer is unknown, there is little that can be done to prevent the disease. Although today their is great hope in the treatment of thyroid cancerby removing cause.
If you live near a nuclear power plant ~ you maybe eligible to obtain potassium iodide. Because the excessive iodine intake can be harmful, consult a physician before consuming a diet rich in the nutrient that can help maximize function. French Researcher Dr. Elisabeth Cardis whom performed a case control study of 1300 controlled patients who lived near Chernobyl. Whom at the time of the disaster back in the 1980’s that was 15 or younger and found those deficient in iodine was three times more likely to garner radiation – related thyroid cancer.
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 over50 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.
