With deuterium depleted water against cancer

kkrahamim71@gmail.com — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 10:48:05 GMT

Hi Everyone!

I just wonder has anybody ever heard about a new complementary/alternative treatment option for cancer, which is based on the consumption of deuterium depleted water.

A friend of mine recommended trying deuterium depletion, it has got no side effect and it is safety. It is a well known supportive therapy for cancer patients in Hungary ( he is Hungarian ) and in some European countries. During the treatment have to drink a deuterium depleted water, to reduce the deuterium level of the body.

I have been just diagnosed with cancer , and have started my chemo, but suffering from the side effects and I strongly believe in natural medicines. I want to try everything what is available to be healthy again.

Thanks for any info!

Re: Good Books About the Menopause?

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause by John Lee, MD and Virginia Hopkins, as well as What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About PreMenopause (by the same authors) are fabulous! You can learn more on his website www.johnleemd.com Another fabulous book is a book on Perimenopause (but also applies to menopause and just being healthy in general) by Ann Louise Gittleman , MD entitled Before the Change--Taking Charge of Your PeriMenopause. Enjoy!

Last year I watched a program in which professor Verkerk talked about natural health and European law etc. He also mentioned his son having studied medicine at the Cambridge University: these students of medicine learned nutrition the only day during three years of study! Just one day of talks dedicated to nutrition future doctors cannot know any connection between food and health. Our future is based on chemicals. Sad future!

Death by nutrition

Open Mind — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:49:29 GMT

I read the WDDTY article on death by nutrition and wondered who has sponsored the investigation that nutritional therapists are dangerous to our health? My gut feeling is that this is a scare mongering public awareness campaign that concentrates even more power in the hands of the GPs - who at the end of the day know next to nothing about treating ill health by nutritional means. I understand some nutritional therapists may not be all that but this kind of story plays into the hands of the fearful, who haven't yet taken responsibility for their health, and who will wind up in the GPs chair because 'doctor knows best'. Perhaps there is some merit in that but this feels to me just to be the thin end of the wedge and, in my opnion, we need to devolve power from big pharma and the GPs not give them more!

Re: Tinnitus

CarolineShore — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 05:48:58 GMT

I also have high frequency hearing loss and tinnitus. I have had this since I was 15 years old and believe it is caused by the food we eat. I am currently trying to prove this through self experimentation.

If you wish to know more please take a look at my blog for more details. I have the backing of the Hearing Research facility here in the UK and that in Long Island CA.

Let's try to fix this together.

Natural remedies for Male Pattern Baldness?

Spottydog — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 16:18:48 GMT

You read so many ads for hair loss remedies that guarantee results that it makes you wonder why there are still so many bald people about! Still, I'm convinced that there are some herbs and other natural remedies that can at least help to halt, or even reverse, balding. One that seems to have quite a bit of anecdotal evidence to support it is quite simply brushing regularly with a real bristle brush to stimulate the hair follicles. I gather you have to maintain the daily habit of thorough brushing for an extended period of time (months at least) before you see results and maybe this causes some people to lose heart and stop before it has a chance to work. My mother started developing male pattern baldness a few years ago and was scared to brush the thinning areas too firmly for fear of rubbing the remaining hair away, which I can completely understand. (Does anyone know if this would in fact happen?) In the end, she tried a natural supplement which caused some regrowth of stronger hair on the balding areas. It didn't work miracles of course, but it does seem to have stopped the balding process in its tracks and reversed it to some extent. The main benefit has been to alleviate her anxiety - which I'm sure was part of a vicious cycle... hair loss > worry > more hair loss. I think this problem is probably much worse for women than for most men because as women we just don't expect to lose our hair.

Sugar Causes Malnutrition Causes, Diabetes and Inner Ear Hearing Loss!

CarolineShore — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 11:34:18 GMT

Sugar - the cane and beat variety - has been classes as a luxury up until the post war year when it became readily available on the mass market. Since that time such conditions as diabetes and obesity have been on the increase.

Sugar containes no nutrional value what-so-ever and yet is placed in the majority of all manufactored food? Why? Because it help preserve our food for longer and it taste nice!

Doctors know that sugar is the cause of diabetes but they don't differentate between empty sugar calories (cane or beat sugar) to that which contains nutritional value (fruit and veg). It is also known that sugar (the cane and beat variety) destroys our white blood cells!

We need our white blood cells to guard agains infections. It is known that diabetic suffer from infection that they don't recover from naturally! On top of this we all tend to full ourselves up on empty sugar calories and are not giving our bodies the nutrition it needs to heal - B vitamins mostly. Therefore the combination of the two are causing the vast majority of us to become malnurished with displaying any obvious outward signs of doing so. It is also reported that it is possible to be obese and be malnurished.

It is known that over half of diabetics go on to develop inner ear hearing loss.

I would suggest that several generations of excess sugar eating has slowly been altering the way in which our bodies can digest sugar and we pass this on to our child who then go on to develop less and less tolerence to it, resulting in diabetes, obseity and hearing loss.

Medicine in the raw

jowddty — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 11:09:00 GMT

Our dog Ollie, as a small, tricolored Cavalier King Charles spaniel, was bred by royal decree and born with a peculiar sense of regal entitlement and a permanent look of disdain. He belongs in a Peanuts cartoon—the curmudgeonly dog whose thought balloon continuously registers exasperation with his clueless owners. He refuses to eat except when it’s inconvenient, and is extraordinarily picky, even when fresh organic meat is his for the taking.

Consequently, it’s fascinating to see what Ollie eats in the wild, especially when he’s out of sorts. Invariably, he heads for certain grasses or leaves and, after feasting on bunches of them, is completely cured.

Animal behaviourists realize that animals, across species, appear to have a natural instinct for determining which plants can heal different diseases. Stories abound of animals eating just the right things to heal themselves. After witnessing sick bears eating Ligusticum roots and getting better afterwards, Native Americans dubbed the plants with a name that means ‘bear medicine’.

In her book, Wild Health, animal behaviorist Cindy Engel offers scientific evidence that animals instinctively know how to maintain optimum health. Given a smorgasbord of choice, even animals like rats will choose a nutritionally balanced diet.

Perhaps more extraordinary is the evidence that animals know how to self-medicate against a host of problems, including parasites, infection, skin conditions and accidental poisoning. Scientific evidence shows that animals are somehow able to differentiate among the thousands of toxic secondary compounds in plants that kill internal parasites. A number of species, including rhinoceroses and wild bison, feast on a specific bark known to be toxic to the microbes that cause dysentery.

Even animals in captivity often show a native sense of self-medication superior to their doctors. A captive capuchin monkey with a severe skin infection didn’t get better until given access to tobacco leaves, which cured its skin condition permanently.

All this is relevant to two features in this month’s issue. In our Special Report (pp 10–4), WDDTY publisher Bryan Hubbard has amassed extra-ordinary evidence that the contents of your fridge or larder not only can protect against illness, but may also cure disease once it takes hold. Cancer, asthma, Alzheimer’s, dementia—and a host of other serious and even life-threatening illness—is vanquished by the likes of apple juice, rhubarb, brussels sprouts and blueberries.

Yet, we’re eating less and less real food (p 5). A team that recently analyzed McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets found that barely half of it is chicken—the rest is taste enhancers and other chemicals, including a compound used in Silly Putty and another used in lighter fluid.

The medicine we take is also increasingly dangerous, even contaminated, as was the case of millions of drugs produced by GSK, for which it has been fined by the American Food and Drug Administration (p 6).

Considering an animal’s natural instinct for the healthy, one wonders what animals like Ollie would make of our tendency to consume toxic junk as food and toxic chemicals as medicine.

Achilles tendon tear at junction with calf muscle

helenemarshall — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 14:01:30 GMT

During the 6th repetition of an interval cardio sprinting session I heard a loud "pop", was instantly crippled with pain and unable to put my right foot down to the floor. I have to admit to not having adequately stretched before my warm up and I was wearing unsuitable leisure shoes instead of proper trainers having worn the last pair out from all my recent exercise! I knew what had likely happened and was able to take Arnica 30 and apply a Physicool bandage to chill the affected muscle within a few minutes, I then elevated the leg for the rest of the day and got about with crutches. After 48 hours with no sign of improvement despite good rest, excellent supported nutrition and gentle range of motion exercises I was sent by my GP to see an orthopaedic consultant who confirmed the above diagnosis and had the leg immobilised in plaster.

I'm taking 1000mg Vit C; 1000 units Vit D; 30mg Ubiquinol and 1000mg Glucosamine daily. Also 30ml sour cherry juice concentrate properly diluted and have increased my protein to carb ratio to add more building blocks and reduce the chances of the injury making me pile on the pounds! Can anyone suggest any further support to help the tendon heal quickly? Also, how long do we think plaster is a good idea for? I have reservations about immobilisation for soft tissue damage as the muscles waste so quickly and range of motion is rapidly impaired. Can anyone suggest a good, safe exercise or stretch that will not further damage the calf? I have spent the last 2 years working on my strength, core tone, fitness and flexibility and at 43 I don't want to let it slide, for fear of a slippery slope to old age! If you have any suggestions or experience with sports injuries, please help!

Re: Acid Reflux (GERD) and Stomach Acid

Your finding digestive enzymes to be of help means you are on the right track, but you're still spending money needlessly, and not actually ending the problem. Fortunately for me, after being hospitalized for the third time with similar, mysterious and dangerous symptoms, my cardiologist told me as I was leaving the hospital that he felt ALL of it could have been because of my hiatal hernia! You bet I hopped online to seek a solution to THAT!

There is a specific cause for digestive problems of all kinds, and there is a solution. It requires that you simply change HOW you eat, NOT so much WHAT you eat. "Miracles" have regularly occurred within 3-4 days to people who've suffered for many painful years from a wide variety of digestive problems, and one happened for me, too -- within THREE DAYS exactly. At the age of 78, the peace of mind I've rediscovered since those three "let's-try-it-and-see" days has changed my entire life, and cured me of a lifetime of gluttony at the same time. :-)

http://www.greattastenopain.net/great.asp is the website of Sherry Brescia who suffered for more than a decade from IBS (with the same root cause as GERD and hiatal hernia problems) before she unearthed the solution. And boy, did she find the solution. If you simply try her "sample" program (it's FREE), even without buying her books, you too will be on the road to a simpler life you may have forgotten -- you'll rediscover how it feels to be free of pain, pills and visits to doctors that yield no permanent cure, and save the money you're spending on digestive enzymes. Your body's OWN digestive enzymes are ready to show you how well they work when they are given the chance to do so.

Be sure to look up in their Case Study section the words for any other physical problem you may have. You'd be amazed at the countless ills that are brought about or made worse by the stress-producing wars we create within our GUT whenever we choose to not recognize or respect the unique NEEDS of our digestive system. And WHO KNEW???

I'd love to see the whole world be done with painful digestive results. It's SO SIMPLE to try this... Just DO it, and be WELL at last!
