TESTIMONIALS;FROM A MAN WHO FOUND ESSIAC AND READ BELOW

“I have no doubt whatsoever that I am alive today because of Essiac Tea.” NATURAL SUPPLEMENT.

 ” My name is Dave Watts, I live in Utah. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer the last week of June 2006. I started drinking Essiac tea the first week of July 2006.

  On August 24th 2006 I underwent a surgical procedure called the Whipple procedure. I was told that without it I might live six months, with it I might live up to three years. The surgeon removed my gallbladder, then he removed the first loop of my small intestine when he got to my pancreas he found the cancer was much more extensive than they thought, including a large cloud of cancer in the back of my abdomen. The surgeon did not remove any cancer from my body, he closed me up and when I was moved to a hospital room the surgeon came in and explained my situation, he told me that I would probably not make thanksgiving and if I did I would not be around for Christmas.

  From Jan. 5 2007 to now I have had at least twelve M.D.s, and three Oncologist tell me I should be dead. I should not have made it past Christmas 2006. On May 12 2007 a G.I. Dr. at the Huntsman Cancer Center Salt Lake City Ut. Said he could not believe he was looking at a pancreatic cancer patient. (This was the same Dr. that had done the Endoscopic Ultrasound in June of 2006 that had confirmed my cancer with six biopsies.

  In March of 2008 there were two cancer specialist one a cancer research Dr. told me, what they were looking at at was not possible, but here you are. I have no doubt whatsoever that I am alive today because of Essiac Tea.”

Harm From Pesticides

And Pesticides Are Only Part of the Problem

In addition to pesticides, these four metals are chief sources of brain-damaging toxic exposure:

1. Mercury
2. Lead
3. Aluminum
4. Cadmium

These four “danger” metals are commonly found in polluted air, tap water, cigarette smoke, and cosmetics.

Additionally, cadmium or lead may leach from pipes or paint. Mercury is found in fish, dental fillings, even vaccines. Aluminum leaches from cookware, antacids, and antiperspirants.

And this is only the tip of the iceberg.

We’re exposed daily to these noxious metals and chemical compounds from a wide variety of sources.

Toxicity from these metals can lead to:

• Depression and anxiety
• Memory problems
• Difficulty concentrating
• Nervousness and irritability
• Tremors or numbness
• Aggression
• Insomnia
• Lack of coordination
• Dizziness and confusion
• Lowered intelligence

OF THESE TOXINS FROM YOUR BODY.

KNOCK OUT CANCER

I am in the process of reading the cancer book

By Suzanne Somers “KNOCKOUT” 

She talks about interviews with doctors who are curing Cancer.

How to prevent Cancer?

CANCER is so prevalent, that by 2030, 30 million people will have cancer.

She talks about conventional medicine and treatment for Cancer. It is debilitating and often a  deadly fraud.

“The underlying issue is that the entire cancer treatment industry has been following a faulty paradigm.” Conventional treatment normally consists of chemo, surgery, radiation.

The books talks about nutrition and many other ways to prevent cancer. It is a life change in how you live today and how and why you need to change the way you live today.

It also talks about “why ever underlying problem of therapy involves three basic components, specialize individualized diet, supplements and intensive detoxification, to fit the individuals needs. These are extracted quotes from the book on how Doctor Gonzales treated patients and I encourage you to read this book.

I encourage you to read the current JOHNS HOPKINS report.

It talks about nutrition, alkaline water, and how it is good for the body, plus things about cancer you may not know.

Plus all the life changing things you need to do to improve your immune system.

Your immune system is your first line of defence against disease.

CANCER KILLS

FACT: Cancer will kill more than 13.2 million a year by the year 2030.

Source: U.N. Cancer Research Agency

That’s more than double the 7.6 million who died of cancer in 2008. That means every year, the number of people who die from cancer increases dramatically!

Will YOU be among the millions of people who die of cancer in the coming years?

Perhaps a better question to ask is this:

Why should you (or a loved one) suffer or die from cancer…while so many others are able to successfully heal themselves of the disease?

The root of that question is this: Why do some people get cured of cancer…and some don’t?

Dr. Alexander Loyd’s answer to that question is revealed in a startling new video titled “It’s Almost Impossible for Cancer to be Cured Unless You Do This…”

Here’s why you must watch this FREE 9-minute video: Whichever cancer therapy you or a loved one might choose to use…

==> whether it be conventional medical approaches such as chemotherapy, surgery or radiation; or

==> alternative healing approaches such as herbs, raw food, nutritional supplements, juicing, homeopathy, oxygenation, Rife frequency therapy, the Zapper method, or any other unconventional therapies

…cancer can almost NEVER be healed unless you heal the underlying basis of the disease. And the real cause is NOT what you think.

And it’s also something that most doctors don’t even know about.

You owe it to yourself to watch this eye-opening video about a dramatically extraordinary approach to cancer that is not available anywhere else. You can watch it for FREE by going to:

put this into your browser

http://clicks.douglassreport.com//t/AQ/AAIlxA/AAItqQ/AAIzbw/AQ/AuUo6A/aCaj

Three minutes into the video (03:17 to 4:06), you’ll witness a shocking revelation that will convince you of ONE thing that is most crucial to the total recovery of a person who suffers from cancer. This will make your heart pound with excitement because it even shows one major reason why Dr. Loyd Alexander believes cancer often recurs — and how you could prevent cancer from recurring (usually with deadly consequences).

Mid-point in the video, a phenomenon, which has fascinated and intrigued many medical doctors, scientists and health practitioners is explained…and this will make you realize why most cancer therapies DON’T work — and what may work.

Once you watch the video, you’ll be one of the first to know about a simple but revolutionary self-healing technique that has been scientifically tested — and how Dr. Loyd says countless people have used The Healing Codes to help heal everything from cancer to diabetes, arthritis, emphysema, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, asthma, fibroid tumors to Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

Cancer is big business-$200 billion per year

. .

In fact, an entire “cancer industry” provides a lucrative

income for numerous providers and businesses.

So what would happen to all the cancer doctors,

 pharmaceutical companies, cancer treatment

 centers, diagnostic centers, hospitals, researchers,

cancer nonprofits,

 and other cancer-related vendors if scientists

 actually did find a cure for cancer?

You can see the huge financial incentive

 to keep cancer alive and well.

Of course, right now, these cancer industry

 providers need not worry.

Cancer is an epidemic.

Each and every day, more than 1,500

 Americans die of this disease.

Because we are NOT winning the war against

 cancer.

 Far from it. In fact, death rates from cancer

 barely have budged

 during the past 50 to 60 years.

Failed by modern medicine’s outdated and

ineffective approach.

Purge Those Cancer Cells From the Body?

Cut them out, burn them out, poison them out . . .

Sure, mainstream cancer medicine offers you its

standard cookie-cutter approach: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation.

 One size fits all.

Just get those cancer cells out of your body.

But what if this paradigm of cancer treatment —

 unquestioned since it began back in the late

 1800s — is totally wrong?

Albert Einstein once defined insanity as doing

the same thing over and over again and

 expecting different results.

I wonder what he’d think of our mainstream

 cancer industry.

This aggressive ‘cut, burn, poison’ approach

 has not proved effective,

 no matter how many times we try it —

 over and over again.

 At the cost of millions of lives.

Now that’s insanity .

There is an alternative, it is called the

“miracle of Essiac 8”a natural supplement that

DID YOU KNOW NATURAL PRODUCTS WORK?

Did You Know About These Health Facts?  Vitamin C deficiency and hormonal imbalances are the root cause of heart disease, not high cholesterol as the drug companies would have you believe.  A Vitamin D deficiency has been implicated in some cancers. But it’s easy to get nutritional protection using the “correct” Vitamin D supplement. A shortage of Vitamin B-12 can cause Alzheimer’s-like symptoms (you should get tested for B-12), then insist on natural B-12 injections, and Bromine, a common ingredient in commercial foods and home products, can cause fatigue, headache, and weight gain. Most doctors don’t have a clue about this problem, and yet it’s widespread. The news media are passing on propaganda from the drug industry and its supporters instead of doing their journalistic job of investigating. Are you aware that the drug industry regularly wages a negative campaign against vitamins and minerals? Do you know why? Because vitamins and minerals can’t be patented. It’s simple math. Although there’s big profit in selling $5 and $10 pills, there’s very little profit in selling 25-cent vitamins. The problem for the drug companies is that many times the 25 cent vitamin works better than the $5 pill. For example . . . If word ever got out that 2000 mg of Vitamin C daily, along with the “correct hormonal balance,” could stop heart disease in its tracks — actually stop plaque from forming in your arteries — how long could the drug companies sell $billions in cholesterol lowering drugs? Not for long at all! And that’s why the drug industry expends tremendous money and effort each year “trashing” potential competitors — even when natural, low-cost therapies can save your life. Unfortunately, drug companies have the American Medical Association’s (AMA) backing, and that enables them to dupe the news media into publishing their propaganda. But what really is upsetting is that they put their profits above your health! You deserve to know how to really prevent heart disease, cancer, fatigue, diabetes, arthritis, weight gain, and many more health problems., abnormal heartbeat, asthma, muscle, and bone weakness. It’s also implicated in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). . Today, we’re also seeing epidemic rates of zinc deficiency. Zinc prevents skin damage, macular degeneration, and respiratory ailments. It’s also critically important to your body’s ability to heal. You also should know that zinc and magnesium deficiency in children — something that’s all too common with today’s diet — also can cause attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD is not a “ritalin deficiency.” . Do you know your copper level? Few doctors ever consider copper. And yet our food supply is becoming devoid of minerals, so this is something to check. A copper deficiency can cause high triglycerides, abnormal fat metabolism, fatty liver disease, and even depression. Have your doctor do a mineral panel and check your levels of magnesium, zinc, and copper. Some of the symptoms you’re experiencing could be a result of a deficiency in one or more vitamin. Also, did you know that a Vitamin B-12 deficiency will cause fatigue, headaches, brain fog, anxiety, and even depression? Most people over age 55 are B-12 deficient, and if you take over-the-counter antacids, or a prescription acid blocker, you’re almost certainly deficient, as these drugs inhibit protein digestion and block Vitamin B-12 absorption. B-12 Deficiency Mistaken for Early Alzheimer’s  that turned out to have nothing wrong but a Vitamin B-12 deficiency. But you’ve got to get natural B-12 injections, not the common synthetic type most doctors carry, or weak supplements. We are also seeing a lot of Vitamin B6 deficiency, which causes anemia, depression, high blood pressure, and elevated homocysteine levels, one of the “real culprits” in heart disease (again, it’s not cholesterol)! Simple nutrients and foods can save your life. You will find that  mercury is hiding in silver amalgam fillings, in several types of fish, and even in most corn syrups, a common food sweetener. Are you suffering fatigue? Feeling achy? Or experiencing “unexplained symptoms?” Mercury will compromise your immune system and wreak havoc throughout your body. You need to get tested for this, and if you have mercury in your system, you need to detox.  But conventional medicine too often promotes harsh drugs that do more harm than good. A perfect example is the class of cholesterol-lowering drugs called “statins.” These drugs are promoted as reducing the risk of heart disease and heart attack, when they do no such thing . . . Cholesterol is only fifth in importance as a blood marker for heart disease. Do you know the four things that are more important to check?  Of course, statins do have bad side effects such as muscle destruction, headache, fatigue, irritability, memory loss, reduced sex drive, a weakened heart, and increased risk for cancer. Why risk and endure all that, when there are safer natural therapies that work a lot better against heart disease? Today, you can’t rely on the news media, and there is too much your doctor doesn’t know simply because natural therapies weren’t taught in medical school.

EIGHT HERB ESSIAC IS REAL AND BETTER

Authentic Essiac is the eight herb formula approved by Rene Caisse and Dr. Charles Brusch.

It is important that you use authentic essiac to reap the benefits you have heard about using essiac tea. While the four herb formulas probably do have some effect, Rene Caisse and Dr. Charles Brusch found the eight herb formula to be most effective.
It is important to differentiate between “original” and “authentic” to understand how to choose the best essiac. Like everything else, original versions of medicines, herbal or otherwise, aren’t necessarily the best. In fact, it’s rare that the first version of anything is the best! Usually, what happens when a new product is produced, scientists conduct research on it, experimentation is performed, and it is tested in the real world for results. Over time the effectiveness of products including herbal treatments tends to improve.

An “authentic” product is one that is 100% what it says it is on the label, and that it is of the highest quality. Essiac formula is the essiac tea that is proven to be most effective when it’s administered orally as a tea.

The Beginning of Essiac

It is believed that essiac was used by Native Americans for the purpose of treating maladies at a time when there was little or no cancer. It is interesting to note that this original essiac was not actually created with the goal of treating cancer in mind.

While Rene Caisse was working as a nurse in a hospital, one of her patients gave her some of this essiac and told Caisse that she was using it to treat her cancer. Rene Caisse was astounded to learn that the woman’s cancer had been reversed! However, this version of essiac was not effective in every case; in fact, quite a few people died in spite of being treated with the essiac.

Modifications to the Essiac Formula Began

After many years of research, doctors developed a version of the essiac formula that was to be injected into the patient. Treatment by injection turned out to yield more consistent results in the patients. All of this information has been documented in a hand-written testimonial by Rene Caisse as well as signed papers by staff physicians.

Rene Caisse attempted to get permission from the Canadian Ministry of Health to give physicians throughout Canada the go-ahead to inject the authentic essiac formula, but she didn’t get anywhere. Around that time, Dr. Brusch’s older brother had heard about Caisse’s work and decided to research the information. However, he too was unsuccessful with convincing the Canadian Government to officially recognize the formula.

One of the formulas being tested was an injectable four herb version. This four herb formula was never meant to be consumed orally. In 1959, Rene Caisse decided to take further action. Since physicians weren’t allowed to inject this essiac formula without government approval, she was concerned that this valuable formula may be lost forever. Dr. Charles Brusch invited Rene Caisse to the Brusch Medical Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in an attempt to develop an oral formula that carried the same efficacy level as the injection. There were fewer rules and regulations surrounding tea made to drink as opposed to an injection.

Resperin Corp. Gains Preliminary Rights
to the Essiac Formula

In 1977, Rene Caisse signed over a four herb formula to Resperin Corp. of Canada under the stipulation that Resperin complete clinical tests on the formula. The agreement granted permission for the use of essiac as research only, and dictated that if they did not complete these tests, Dr. Charles Brusch would have complete control of the formula (Dr. Brusch and Caisse had performed clinical tests on essiac together in the 1960′s). It turns out that Resperin breached the contract by never completing the tests, but the formula still remained with them.

Dr. Charles Brusch Gains Control of the Essiac Formula

After further research, an oral essiac formula was developed that contained eight herbs, including the four herbs from the formula that was designed to be injected. Exclusive rights to the formula were left to Dr. Charles Brusch in 1977 (a year prior to Rene Caisse’s death). This formula was deemed to be the most effective formula to date.

The eight herb formula Rene Caisse revealed to Dr. Charles Brusch contained: Burdock Root, Blessed Thistle, Kelp, Red Clover, Sheep Sorrel, Slippery Elm Back, Turkey Rhubarb Root, and Watercress. Brusch performed eight years of clinical research on this oral form of essiac. He even took it himself when he fell ill with cancer. Brusch made the claim that this eight herb essiac alone cured his cancer.

During a variety of clinical trials held in Cambridge at the Brusch Medical Research Center, Brusch and Caisse experimented with essiac capsules, tablets, and tinctures, among other methods. Time and time again, the method of administering treatment that resulted in the most potent and effective formula was to return the herbs to the liquid after brewing, a.k.a. Essiac tea or Essiac juice.

Rene Caisse passed away in 1978, and Dr. Brusch passed away in 1993. The eight herb formula that was found to be superior in the Brusch clinical trials is the most effective form of essiac tea available. We recommend consuming it just as it was in those studies: in brewed tea form (avoid using pills, capsules, or tea bags) and taken on an empty stomach.

Are all carbs bad?

TNN, Jun 15, 2010, 12.00am IST

Article

All carbs are bad? (Getty Images)

…is just a popular food myth. Nutritionist Shonaalii Sabherwal busts some more

Myth: Cutting carbohydrates from your diet will make you lose weight
Most health fanatics are cardophobic. To clear the confusion: highly refined carbohydrate sources like white bread, sugar, refined white flour and white rice is what we should stay away from (the simple carbohydrates). However, we all need the carbohydrates out of whole grain namely brown rice, nachni, millet, jowar and bajra (complex carbohydrates). The body needs glucose as the main source of fuel for energy. And complex carbs provides exactly that. These give us sustained sugars (good for our brains) and keep the insulin levels in check.

If you are worried about your weight loss, remember that healthy is not just about the race to being size zero. By cutting carbs completely, you cut off the fuel supply. Your aim should be healthy bodies first; thin will follow. Besides, you wouldn’t want problems like constipation, bad breath and bingeing on sugars, would you? That’s exactly what happens when you stay off carbs completely.

Myth: It’s ok to have Honey, Jaggery, Maltitol, Xylitol instead of sugar
Sugar is just not just the white crystals you consume, but is also present in white bread, pasta, cereals, processed foods, sauces. These are your simple sugars often mentioned on packages that get camouflaged: maple syrup, high corn fructose syrup, honey, sucrose, molasses, cane juice. Even the chocolate bars that claim to be sugarless have maltitol, xylitol and erythritol which are used to replace sugar only because they have fewer calories. Nevertheless, they are all derivatives of sugar and cause the same problems as sugar. The natural sugars from fruits is the only alternative for sugar at present in the Indian markets.

Myth: Our prime source of calcium is dairy foods
It’s a huge misconception that our prime calciumrich food is milk. Milk is full of saturated fats and cholesterol, which clog your arteries. Caesin, the basic molecule in milk, stresses the liver, pancreas, stomach and intestines. Commercial dairy cows are pumped with hormones and to counter udder infection they are given antibiotics, which in turn affect the villi in your intestines. So even though milk is loaded with calcium, it does not help us in any way. The alternative to dairy to get your dose of calcium? Cutting back animal foods and choose a plant-based approach. Have dark leafy greens, broccoli, beans, nuts, seeds, tofu. All these sources give us useable calcium, which nourishes us.

Myth: Cutting back all oil (liquid fat) reduces weight
We need liquid fat (which we get from liquid oils) and the monosaturated fat (olive oil, avocados, canola, almond, peanut oils) for normal bodily functioning. We don’t need saturated fats (margarine, hydrogenated oils). The most crucial one is the polysaturated fat (flax seeds, sesame, sunflower, soy, walnut, safflower – rich in omega 3, 6 and 9). We also need essential fatty acids (EFA’s) because the body does not make these and you need to supplement your diet with them. Low fat or fat free diets will cause us to be hungry (depleting the omegas) which in turn will cause us to binge. Healthy liquid fat consumption actually promotes weight loss.
