First rate and timely article, Lisa Hale, but it may be even worse than you think. While reviewing the research on the effects of aneuploidy on somatic and meiotic cells, I came across the new evidence that bisphenol A has been shown to cause aneuploidy in female meiotic cells even at very low doses.

And regarding dosage-related clearance for suspected carcinogens and etiology of birth defects it seems that industry-financed studies might not be as dependable as once assumed. In fact, in a study by F. Vom Saal and W. Welshons, ("Large Effects From Small Exposure; The Importance of Positive Controls In Low Dose Research on Bisphenol A"), the researchers found that:

"130 studies of low dose effect of bisphenol A by summer of 2005, 119 (studies) have been funded by governments and 11 by industry. 92% of government-funded studies report adverse effects. NONE of the industry's do."

Bisphenol A, a known estrogen mimicker, and cause of birth defects at certain levels, is used in baby bottles, tin can liners and dental sealants, and is suspected of producing insulin resistance.

Vom Saal and Welshons also claim that many chemicals thought to have "No adverse observed effect" at low dosage, are in fact toxic below the accepted thresholds for toxicity.

importance correction: my comment, "female meiotic cells should read, "female MOUSE meiotic cells"--admittedly an essential differentiation.

I remember someone in the 1970's saying that if it happens to your old Aunt Sally, it's a personal problem, but if it's happening to everyone's Aunt Sally, it's a political one. Given the kinds of things which tend to get people upset, I can't for the life of me understand why the current industrial toxin-driven plague of cancer (it's up to nearly one in two now, for pete's sake) hasn't got the village-folk with pitchforks and flaming torches storming the castle of the business types who are poisoning us all to death. Potentially, this has got to be one of the hugest political issues lurking beneath the radar. Potentially, as long as people don't start realising they, their parents and relatives, their friends, their heroes and heroines, their favorite athletes, actors, writers, performers and, hey, just about everyone these days are having the same personal problem. And for the same end reason. Profit.

Oh yeah. Go Oilers.

why hasn't this kind of study been going on for years, at a much larger scale ?

it seems a no-brainer to check for chemical buildup in our bodies given our constant exposure to them. I recall years ago their was a PBS Frontline story on contaminants in the food, where they quoted a study stating that newborns are accumulating lifetime doses of several nasty chemicals. since then, I've heard nothing.

It is a very good thing that Health Canada will pick up on this and do a comprehensive study. it is a bout time. Congratulations to the EDF for their important work

Truman:
You are more than on to something here. PCB's and bisphenol A, a type of PCB, are for the most part, estrogen mimickers that attach to cell walls that normally take estrogen/testosterone instead, and you know the rest.

The main culprits, as you have aptly pointed out, is plastics and food packaging. Currently, girls are experiencing puberty and wearing training bra's at the age of 10, not due to premature births as infants, but due to PCB's. Our love affair with plastic, especially with food packaging, is killing us.

Anything skrink wrapped should be considered as contaminated as a result of the melting of plastic to create the seal. And while most of us believe plastic is safe, it is deadly when it breaks down, especially under sunlight or heat as plastics break down under certain environmental conditions and as a result, contaminate food sources. Anyone who's taken a shot of water out of a plastic jug in the sun knows what I'm talking about. As well, not all plastics are created equally. Soft, flexible plastics are perhaps the most dangerous of all.

Prostate cancers are going through the roof and the culprit? PCB's, but thats not all. Estrogen hormones added to beef meal are jacking up estrogen and estrogen mimickers in the meats. Large amounts of estrogen and even small amounts of PCB's do tremendous damage the stem cells in the prostate and from there, its cancer.

Obesity is also an estrogen producer, with estrogen being produced from fat cells. Breasts on a fat guy isn't from fat alone. So what is the answer? What are the solutions we need? Try detoxification.

Detox is no easy methodology either, but the natural forms are the best forms. Obesity, diabetes and insulin resistance, premature aging, chronic acidosis that spawns everything from arthritis to Cancer, Heart Disease, Arterioslcerosis, and on and on, cause a host of deficiencies, namely with essential alkaline minerals. The quickest and surest way to replace these minerals Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Copper, Manganese, Zinc, Iron, (besides taking suppliments) is to eat rooted earthy foods. In other words, fruits, nuts, vegetables, grains, berries, sprouts and natural juices made from juicing. So when it comes to detox, a lifestyle heavy on "living foods" raw fruits, nuts, berries, grains and vegetables, are highly recommended along with juicing green drinks with a heavy emphasis on carrots to lose weight safely and restore the PH balance in the human body. For obesity, juicing alone is the most effective and safest way to lose large amounts of weight, but not for more than 2 weeks at a time as one runs the risk of protein deficiencies after 2 weeks or longer.

There are also some good effective ways to detox heavy metals, but I'm rushed for time here, gotta go, but I'll look into the comments tommarrow and offer some valuable cut and pastes. Cheers Truman.

Brain, glad to see you're still around.

I hope a few readers have had a chance to read about those 130 studies I referred to, of which 119 were done by government-funded research and 11 by industry-funded research.
92% of government-funded research found that bisphenol A had adverse effects. NONE of the industry-funded research found that it had adverse effects.

That was really the point I was trying to make. Science has been taken almost completely over by huge Pharma industries and their agents are everywhere--setting up Aids organizations to sell their needless and dangerous anti-retrovirals; inventing causes for old diseases; hep B causes liver cancer; human papilloma virus causes cervical cancer; hep C causes liver failure and liver cancer, hiv causes immune depression; intra-ocular pressure causes glaucoma; dangerous hypertension is said to be anything below 140/90--the list is endless. All of the above are transparently UNTRUE.

The really huge money is in VACCINES, because pharma-lobbyists will be able to convince govenments that entire populations should get them at hundreds of dollars a pop. GOOGLE GARDASIL.

When they're not inventing vaccines for harmless viruses like hiv, (unsuccessfully, for hiv, of course, but successfully for hpv--human papilloma virus) they're busy inventing new disease syndromes, so they can treat us with their often questionable and dangerous medications. (Read Ray Moynihan and Alan Cassel's book, "Selling Sickness.")

And yes, Brain, all of these cancers are caused by carcinogens (not viruses) in the environment which industry has deemed to be safe. The State of California is currently trying to ban bisphenol A, because it has been proven to be an aneugen at low doses. Aneugens are chemicals which can induce aneuploidy--irregular chromosome counts, either above or below the normal pairs of human diploid cells. (Downs syndrome, for example is caused by an aneuploidy known as trisomy--three pairs of chromosome 21, instead of two).

Science has been labouring under the mistaken impression that mutations in oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes are the major causes of cancer. But the best minds are slowly beginning to accept that this is a huge mistake and that most of the mutagen-based cancer medications are actually useless.

Chromosome damage caused by environmental toxins is the cause of cancer, because mere sequencing errors (mutations) could never do the kind of global genetic damage that has been attributed to them.

Thus my reference to bisphenol A and its ability to induce aneuploidy in meiotic female mouse cells.

downs is three copies of chromosome 21, not three pairs, as I said, wrongly.

Excellent article Lisa Hale. Both informative and disturbing.

Hey Truman, you said: ""130 studies of low dose effect of bisphenol A by summer of 2005, 119 (studies) have been funded by governments and 11 by industry. 92% of government-funded studies report adverse effects. NONE of the industry's do."

Is this because the industries stand to gain from this deception?

Thanks for you very interesting and as well disturbing information Truman Green. I will read your suggested Google...

I have for a long time, felt that breast material in teanage boys has been possibly from the dairy's industries milk producing drugs given to their cattle. I have never considered the possiblity of plastics being involved with this issue. But I still have for years avoided plastics for storage and other uses, knowing of the toxicitity(pcb's) leaking into my foods. I instead have elected to use organic, bleach-free paper towel to cover food I have carefully placed in a glass container. Storage potential does go down, but I assume, so does the toxitity transfer.

It is a constant vigilance and an honest consideration of ones enviroment to impact the issue of toxic levels transfering into our bodies... Articles such as this, as well as its intelligent post-contributors\bloggers, helps in the way of achieving more understanding to be sure...

Peace.

I was involved in 7 years (1948-55)of fruit tree and crop spraying, without any protection, our skins and hair stained permanently yellow, on a corporate, Green Revolution farm in England, with our Cambridge professors assuring us that it was all OK. We used arsenic, lead, DDT, tar oils, parathion, malathion etc. etc. I can't even remember the names of many others.

Although my old workmates have been killed by multiple cancers many years ago, I have been spared by some miracle, but the poisons accumulated in my tissues broke lose and I became paralyzed in the Fall of 02, at the age of 75.

We were at lost, without any idea on what to do? But, instead of going to medical doctors, who'd filled me up with more chemical crap, by pure accident we met a homeopathic practitioner, who agreed to take me on, almost on an experimental basis, as both my age, and condition were extremely unusual. Most people of that age are so full of medication that they can not be helped any more, as we have witnessed with may of our old friends.

I went through hell for the next 3-4 months, as the poisons were driven out of my body, but have fully recovered in about a year and now, at the age of 79, I'm fully functional, work long hours on our ranch, just going out to grade our road, in my workshops and art studio.

Haven't taken any medications, not even any aspirins for about 3 1/2 years.

Although we have been strong environmentalists and organic producers for over 30 years, this experience, what I read from all over the world every day, much of it sent to me by scientist friends, plus my economic studies have proven many times over that: "Wealth can not be created, only taken and costs can not be cut only trasferred"

What this article and my personal experiences show that these poisons, the climate change, pollution, the multiplying cancer and other formerly unkown illness rates are simple, obvious and easily proven cost transfers.

In other words, what we pay in the stores for our competely warped lifestyles have nothing to do with what we are paying in self destructive practices, illnesses, societal and family breakdowns, substance abuse etc. all of which are transferred costs of idiotic and criminal economic theories, brainwashing and misleading people into self destruction.

Now tell this to the economics deparments of UBC, or SFU, or any university on Earth.

Ed Deak, Big Lake.

I'm curious how the organic, sustainable oriented family made it to the top of the "poluted" list.

Does this suggest that a factory-farmed, processed-food, high cholesterol, artifical-ingredient diet offers protection from toxic chemicals ?

Yes, Right to Bear, I think one might conclude that industry's studies regarding the safefy of their chemicals might not always be uh...sufficient. (And especially concerning toxcity levels) Vom Saal and Welshons' studies into this are extremely revealing--I hope everybody will study all of their research.

As commentor "loblollyboy" said regarding cancer rates: "...it's almost one in two now for pete's sakes."

Why this isn't a huge scandal is beyond me, too.

To find their stuff, just google: "Vom Saal and Welshons bisphenol A studies"

Oh, yeah, my reference to blood pressure was wrong. I meant to say, "anything ABOVE 140/90."
(I've been clicking "post comment" prematurely in most of my comments lately)

Wonderful comment, as usual, Ed Deak!

Let me see, the results showed that the subjects had about 1 part per billion of PCBs and assorted amounts of other toxins and heavy metals in their systems. The article provides no proof as to how these levels of contamination may have occured or how much occured from completely natural sources. Or, what level of contaminatiion poses a real risk.

Hardly the stuff that makes it rational to attack food producers, Pharmaceuticlas or try to redraw the nature of economics.

Interesting reading tho'.

High pollutants in thier systems, not surprising considering where they are farming. Look at all the pollution that is funneled up the valley from Vancouver and south of the border,that is falling on the lower mainland farmland. I have heard it from a few people that the crops up the valley are just not the same from years ago. This day and age it is impossible to get away from pollution but some areas are worse than others. I try to avoid lower mainland products as much as possible and buy locally.

I just spent some time in Vancouver and it is considered the third best place to live in the world, wow. I sure am glad I live beyond Hope.

"nature of economics"???????????????

Now here's a good one for a laugh!

The only natural economics are ecologies and ecologically acceptable human activities .

All past and present economic theories and systems have been faith based, criminal nonsense and they all collapsed, as market capitalism is collapsing now. Only the brainwashed faithful believe that
environmental destruction licenced by artificial money can last forever.

We grow as many of our produce as possible in our climate, and freeze a lot for the winter. But there are times when we're forced to buy imported agribiz vegetables and fruits.

As we're used to eat naturally grown foods, we can taste the chemicals on most of the greens and fruits, that end up many times in the garbage.

Even some of the so called "organic" crap, because imported stuff is nuked on the border and most of it ruined. The remainder is often ruined in homes and restauranrs with microwave cooking that changes the molecular structure of foods and destroys the benefits.

There are now billions of people on Earth who have never tasted real vegetables, meat, eggs, or fruits.

When we moved up here in 1979, after 24 years in Vancouver, and had our first organic garden crop, we discovered the long forgotten tastes of our childhoods, when there were no agribiz farms and criminal Green Revolution, let alone GM foods and seeds.

When we see those huge, artificially grown, ugly, GM, tasteless strawberries in the supermarkets we're just about ready to throw up.

Nobody can tell me that those chemically laden foods leave no residues and do harm to human bodies. The collapsing health care systems are the best proofs.

Of course, if some people love that garbage so that Jimmy and Co. can line their pockets, they're welcome to it and as far I'm concered, the more they eat the sooner we get rid of them.

Ed Deak.

Ed, I took your advice a month or so back and looked into economics and wealth creation and it turns out that there are a variety of opinions. Frankly, your opinions are at the fringe and to suggest that only the brainwashed faithful disagree with you creates the impression that you think you're some kind of Guru.

The current economic system that we all use every day has existed for thousands of years and will exist for thousands more. It may be faith based but there really are no practical alternatives......

Are only those with the tin-foil hats capable of seeing the truth?

Unlike the "faithful followers" of ideologies, I have not invented anything, and have no need for fame, or followers. I write down the facts and if anybody does, or doesn't believe them, it is not my problem.

My research began in 1945 into the reasons of the self destruction of all empires, and continued ever since. As an analyst into historical and information anomalies, I discovered the presently used, and taught, fraudulent definition of economic efficiency in 1985. 40 years after I started.

This lead me into the research into the consequences of similar, faith based definitions in past history, especially in the history of empires, consulting with scientist friends all over the globe for 6 years. A lenghty process before emails and fax.

The correct definition, which I copyrighted in 1991 to establish the date, not for monetary reasons, is based on 4 well known and unbreakable physical laws and not on any leaps of faith, or inventions, either by me, or anybody else.

This definition, or Principle, has been used on many worldwide economic forums, including several organized by the World Bank, involving thousands of economists and interested parties, in PhD dissertations and remains unbroken, as, indeed, it is unbreakable. Again, not because I may have invented anything, but because it is based on well known physical facts.

As far economic theories are concerned, the only and longest living theory, based on the acceptance of natural laws, has been used by the North American Indians and destroyed by Europeans in search of gold and colonies for "wealth creation" .

All other economic theories, and systems, have had very short life spans, usually lasting 30 -40 years. The present neoclassical theory has been foisted on Earth by big business, seeking the destruction of democracy and demanding global dictatorship, beginning around 1973, with the setting up of the Trilaterals, although the Bilderbergers have been working on it for the previous 20 years.

The neoclassical theory is based on the fraudulent quotations from the works of Adam Smith and David Ricardo, et al, and on the fraudulent accounting systems of the GDP, Growth ad Productivity, based on the fraudulent definition of Efficiency.

So how long can a system based on fraud last, even if millions of suckers still believe in it?

All economic systems built on faith in ecological destructioon must and will collapse sooner or later, and history has thousands of local precedents, albeit not on the scale happening now.

But then, what's the point telling facts to the faithful, who still believe the world was created 7,000 years ago. So, if you want to see anybody wearing tinfoil safety helmets, you'd better look into a mirror, or the pictures of people like Gordo and Harpo.

Cheers, Ed Deak.

Are you serious "No"... We are toxically laden animals, and through our ignorance, we are also killing many species off, as we continue to contaminate their worlds. A thousand more years, ha, not without change, and lots of it.

Thank you for this comment "Ed Deak". I have always appreciated your clairity, and sage comments. The FN's have always understood how to live harmoniously with their enviroment. Smaller and informed communtities would be a excellent option for humans imo. For many, it is a difercult leap to make, but living closer to the earth would be more in keeping with the natural laws, and would likely promote a cleaner and more sustainable lifestyle for the human animal.

The one thing I'm surprised about is that nobody called me a Luddite for at least 2 days on either of these blogs, or charged that I'd wanted to go back to the Stone Ages, chewing on bones.

Come on you faithful, you're slipping and Julian Simon would be very disappointed that nobody claimed that humanity has always been able to solve its problems and will solve this one too.

On the subject of the survival of the human race , 50 years ago we had an approx 2% rate of cancers, now it is up to 40% in some regions and wait till the effects and reactions of the wealth creating Alberta oil sands come home in the next few years.

I am so sad "Ed", about the pathetic sellout of the Alberta Boreal forest to Industry. It almost seemed to happen while people slept. From the tiniest to the largest living organisms, are loosing their lives to human industry because of the plowing up of their little worlds. Are we so sure there will not be reprocussions on many levels due to our lack of respect??

The flaring and contamination of the sacred air, water, and land that sustains all life, is indeed having an effect on all life in Alberta. Asthma is off the scale in Alberta, and from what I have noticed in the past few years, there seems to be a much higher number of cancers in people who live in Calgary. I am not sure if it is higher then other places but the "hum" about cancers is unbeliveable. I have never seen it before... And, As you said "Ed" "...wait till the effects and reactions of the wealth creating Alberta oil sands come home in the next few years."

Yeah, whoa... a scarey "Machine" this is...

Ed, don't worry, in the next hundred years those with the bones to chew may be considered the lucky ones :-)

Ed, Thank you for saying what many of us wish we could articulate.... I agree completely with almost everthing i have read of yours on these forums... I grew up on an organic farm and ate wild meat most of my youth... so i feel like a second generation (post-colonial) bc organic bush-living type, hopefully there will be many more... i just hope i can be as clear headed and inspired in 53 years as you are now.

Hi, Ed.

Could you give us a little more clarity on what 4 laws of science you refer to? You once asked me to look up a couple you provided and I, well, without excuse of course, with lifes distractions, could use a refresher. Thanx.

NLN:
When plastics break down, PCB's leech into the foods. Its bad enough that we have sprays and toxic preservatives to deal with (but they say its all safe, of course, because most food manufacturers only use a little). Needless artificial flavorings and colorings (all safe, of course, cause people like yourself say, "prove cancer came from this particular chemical" when we know that it can't be proven conclusively... without autopsys and knowing what to look for) pasturized foods and beverledges (destroyed life bearing enzymes), GM products, hydrogenated oils, nutritionally voided sugar, and the constant generic consumption of diretics like coffee, drugs and alchohol to name a few, you know, the lifestyles that Ed Deak is referring to, are lethal over extended timelines as it is. No, we have to package it with packaging that is lethal as well with our love affair of plastics that leech PCB's.

As far as your labelling Ed, as a 78 year old glory seeker, what can I say? You'd probably say the same thing about Jesus and his apostles (not to be confused with the scribes who put words in their mouths) and any other ancestor that tried to council the generations to follow with records of knowledge and wisdom that compels us all to realize that love cannot be taught, bought or sold, for it is a gift and hence, it must be given. In a current environment where most are on the take with a hand out in exhange for any service provided, we should expect nothing less than what we see now.

All life needs environments to substain it. It is through changes in environments that life evolves from generation to generation, or as we are dumbly finding, MUTATES.

Digestive cancers are not caused by bio tech money seeking theories, but are caused by diet alone. Cancer of the mouth, stomach, intestines, colon... these are cancers that are currently going through the roof, along with other cancers related to diet like prostate and ovarian cancers.

It doesn't take a genious to realize that the U.S.A's number one industry is food manufacturing and that lobbying (the polite word for bribing) has government looking the other way in terms of long term safety as a sellout for profits, corporate tax revenues (and some good old fashioned directorships as a kickback) and as Ed Deak has so accurately decribed, "economic efficiency".

Ever wonder why a twinkie can stay on the shelf for 5 years and still keep? Its called economic efficiency, until its consumers get cancers later in life and drain the system of hundreds of thousand of which biotechs are on the take, claiming that its not environmental and all genetic predisposition (of which genetic predisposition is decided upon our parents previous environments).

And if you really want to know how corrupt our system really is, try this one on for size... a valuable cut and paste. Cont.

Cancer dietary treatment:
Sub clinical mal-nutrition is normally where we begin. Blood work and/or medications need to be taken into account, looking specifically for deficiencies. Some medications will need to be discontinued or continued (like insulin) in different doses. Detoxification… all are subject to shrunken timelines of advanced stages of cancer.

Otherwise, barring possible time constraints with stage 3 or 4, combining the addressed malnutrition of minerals and vitamins indicated with blood work, with inducing protein deficiencies for targeting procyanidin absorption within cancer cells over established timelines of treatment, is standard protocol for all types and stages of cancer.

Go buy = a citrus juicer (15$) and a basket centrifugal juice extractor (I use a Breville that you can buy at Canadian tire for $159)
Go buy = a 50 pound bag of carrots (preferably organic, bulk is cheapest, 16 bucks for a 50 pound bag) and fresh 5 lb bags or cases of Ruby Red grapefruits (must be Ruby Red!!! Yellow Grapefruit won't work here, different chemistry)
Go buy = a pound of apricot seeds (they are kernels that are found inside apricot husks.

What to do:
Juice a 50/50 mix of juiced carrots and Ruby Red Grapefruit. (warning: it cannot be a store bought variety. Almost all juices from the store come from concentrates, have sugar added, are flash pasteurized at the least, and would force you to go broke with their consumption. It’s cheaper to juice.)
Drink as little or as much as you want for the next month, preferably more than less, at the middle of 30 day cycle.

Do not drink water or other fluids! (this dilutes and competes with the needed nutrients your body must have)
Do not eat any other food sources (Warning: the proteins will negate the utilization of the proteins in the Apricot seeds by cancer cells, and the cyanide bonded to proteins contained within the seeds will not be absorbed through the cancer cell walls.)
On the first day, eat one well ground apricot seed. On the second day, eat two seeds. (try to give it 24 hours between each ingestion) On the third day, eat three seeds (this gradual increase allows the body to have time to recognize what it is so that your healthy cells can ignore it. On the fourth day, eat 4 seeds. With each successive day, keep increasing the dosage so that you are up to 15 seeds by the 15th day. (There should be no available proteins left over in your body by this time, forcing two reactions... cancer cell gluttony with this normally undesirable protein, and a large buildup of vitamin A and immune response for the cancer cell cleanup… minimizing free radical damage of surrounding potentially healthy tissue). On the sixteenth day, begin the countdown by taking 14 seeds. On the seventeenth day, take 13 ground seeds. On the 18th day, take 12 seeds and so on, until you are down to one seed on the 30th day and then, its time to go back to the doc for a scan. By this time, you should be cancer free, unless the root cause to cancer is still there. (heavy metals, poisons, abcesses, radiation, etc.)

cont.
Now before a bunch of no nothing dummies get ranting about how dangerous it is to put a dietary protocol online for cancer, I'd like to point out that the cemetary is full of people who died of cancer by listening to the docs and the biotechs and the governments and the food and drug manufacturers, and on and on. So, Its my turn.

Cancer begins as damaged DNA caused by toxins and harmful environments that we either ingest, drink, absorb or breathe... if there actually are genetic predispositions to cancer, trust me, they too, were caused by harmful environments that effected our parents.

Cancer is anything but ordinary. Normal cells go through 4 metabolic pathways of which 3 use oxygen from the blood supply, and go through the fourth, known as "fermentation" where glucose is literally "fermented" to break free oxygen atoms in (C6H12O6) glucose. As a result of fermentation, the byproduct is lactic acid. We all know its effects when we've worked out too hard and the body runs out of oxygen and next day you are too stiff to get out of bed.

Cancer only has one metabolic pathway, known as fermentation. Cancer cells are highly anemic, possibly explaining the reason why cancer cells use this pathway, but anemia could also be a condition of rapid growth. What is striking about cancer cells is that they are void of little "feelers" or sensors embedded on their cell walls, to detect their neighbors. As a result, blood has a hard time reaching cancer cells in rapid stages of growth to begin with. Whether or not cancer cells utilize this metabolic pathway by genetic consequence or consequence of rapid growth, the result is undeniable. A huge buildup of lactic acid.

The amounts of lactic acid produced by a tumor are emmense. It leeches into healthy tissue surrounding tumors, and destroys the tissue, causing infections and giving cancer cells new room to grow. As a defence, the body try to buffer the acids leeching from the tumor areas with alkaline minerals, mainly Calcium. As cancer advances, the tumor often creates a sac to hold its fluids given off, usually 95% or more, lactic acid. As the tumor grows, the lactic acid drains and the liver and kidneys are bombarded with the energy drain of elimination and conversion back to glucose. Hence, cancer patients are chronic sufferers of fatigue and acute and chronic acidosis.

Cont.
Conclusions:

As cancer continues to grow, it rapes the body of required nutrients as well. This explains why it is so important to induce a protien deficiency for cancer cells to absorb and break down protein bonded cyanidins. To further explain its chemistry, protein bonded cyanidins are harmless to normal cells, because they recognize its dangers once introduced in minimal amounts. So do cancer cells, but in a desperation to reproduce in a protien deficient environment, cancer cells will absorb protein bonded cyanidins, split them apart and the cyanide, once released, kills the cancer cell.

The reason why carrot juice is so important is for 3 very specific reasons. Firstly, carrots are full of alkaline minerals Calcium and Potassium, needed to balance the PH from the chronic state of acidosis that cancer patients are in. By addressing acidosis alone, most tumors stop growing until acidic conditions return. Almost always, cancer patients are deficient in alkaline minerals (and a few acid forming minerals as well, such as sulfur and silicon, but I'm getting off track here).

Secondly, dead cancer cells must be broken down and this breakdown usually occurs with the production of acids secreted by white blood cells. Unfortunately, these acids can and do harm otherwise potentially healthy surrounding tissue. The bodies best protection from the free radicals spun off by white blood cells? Vitamin A!

Thirdly, Carrot juice offers 50 calories to each cup! Its more than enough energy for the body to run on over a one month period. Grapefruit juice is also full of vitamin C, another extremely helpful antioxidant and vital acid that assists in the breakdown of dead tissue. But thats not all Red grapefruit juice does. It is one of the best detoxifiers known. But it can't be store bought. It must be juiced.

The saddest part of what I've posted here, is that few, except for those in the know, will take me seriously. Although I've seen terminals survive and give testament, some decades later since the time they were supposed to die, people will still trust pill pushers only out of desperation, depression, and a sheer complete lack of knowledge on the subject.

But this is just a treatment and if one is expected to live a full and healthy life, one must RESPECT the environments of which one lives in. Does the economist? The lawyer? the food manufacturer? The oil baron? Monsanto? You be the judge and on the day you read this, know that when your friend or relative has been given a death sentence, this one will give them life. Good luck convincing them to try it. The smears... the doubt... and yet from what I've seen, success rates have been in the 90's in terms of percentages with those who have followed natures way.

David Beers:

In case your thinking what I'm thinking, Random House is already looking at it right now.

IAMCreepy,

You said: "cancer, schmancer

Meanwhile our life expectancy is up off the dial.
This scaremongering should be ' marginalized "

Just because we don't die for the most part of gunshot wounds, blood poisoning, and horse accidents, does NOT mean WE as humans are living out the full and natural lives we were intended too. One of todays issues reflecting on our health due to a sick enviroment, is the issue of "toxic load" and its effects on human health.

The only "scarmonging" going on here is knowing I share a planet with YOU dude and YOU show NO interest in helping a sick planet...

Thank you "The Brain". I will look into this dietary sugestion. I appreciate the information you passed out "B".

Yeah, many people are learning, and going back to respecting the "natural way". It is the early stages of a trend I hope continues.

The 4 physical laws that must be used in economic planning are the simple, high school versions of the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics and Newton's Laws on Speed and Reactions.

We can neither create or destroy anything, only convert resources into lower forms.

All energy inputs cause equal reactions, Therefore, all economic benefits from the use of energy and resources are causing reactions which can be immediate, or 100 years in the future. There's no "win-win", only "win-pay".
We're now paying for the criminal economic theories used generations ago and are adding more and more to the debts to be paid by our descendants .

The speedup of production systems requires ever increasing energy inputs for less and less speed, or benefits. When a dozen workers are replaced with automation requiring 200 or more hp of energy inputs, so the company can steal and pocket their wages, it is not "efficiency", but stupidity.

Having survived the fascists, nazis and communists, I'm constantly amazed by the same convoluted thinking by the faithful, trying to justify the stupidity of the systems they foolishly support.

We can witness the same pathetic efforts on this list, and in politics general, by the faithful who expect miracles to be delivered by their ideological heroes.

In any case, it is a joy to watch them squirm as they dig themselves deeper and deeper in into the ground.

Ed Deak.

Ed - so much time, so little information, so much confusion, so few facts, so much nonsense, so little science......you're the one that comes off looking like the fraud in this discussion.

Well friend, if you can call long established phyisical laws a fraud, you have more problems than anybody could cure.

By the way, aren't you working in the insurance racket?

Ed Deak.

Well the physical laws may apply to the physical world Ed but it's a fraud to insist that they govern the economical world......No, I'm not in the insurance racket, as you call it. No idea where you got that idea from.

In a bit of a rush today - "world of economics" would have been a better term.

All economic activites are based on physical laws, therefore economic theories must also be based on them.

No theory can escape physical realities, even if some fools, through human history, have believed and still believe so.

Gravity can be overruled with the application of energy, but the laws of gravity still apply and when the energy runs out, the system comes crashing down.

This is why an how all past economic theories have collapsed and we can now watch the present one going downhill, overtaken by physical realities.

Sorry about mistaking you for somebody in the insurance racket.

If my Principle had any problems, it couldn't be used in doctoral dissertations, so I'm satisfied that it is correct.

Ed Deak.

ED
The insurance flake is Taxcutter99. I'm satisfied you're correct as well.

fiat lux

I wouldn't agree that all economic activities are based on physical laws. There may be connections with some activities and physical laws but even if there are that's no proof that "all past economic theories have collapsed". Or that the current economic process will also collapse any time in the near future.

Thanks tho' your posts have made for an interesting Saturday read.......,..

Hey Noleftnutter, when I was about fourteen years old my grandfather brought me down a horse from his little ranch at Lillooet. This Morgan look-alike horse was supposed to be a gelding, but went nuts (no pun intended, you'll see) when some mares went by on the gravel road. Anyways, it turned out that the horse had been "proud cut," and I wonder if you derived your name from that unfortunate singularity.

Just kidding! Couldn't resist!

Truman, we had a "steer" like that once.....

NLN....I would like to know of any economic activities that do not rely, or are tied to, physical laws!!!

Every second of every form of life depends on some form of resource conversion, be they trees, grasses, birds, animals, or humans. In other words, tied to physical laws. Add to this our resource extraction and manufacturing processes......

As far my Principle is concerned, it has been in limited circulation between scientists for 6 years, beginning in 1985. In wider circulation for the past 15 years, on the Net for the past 10 years, on several worldwide economic forums, involving thousands, used in PhD dissertations and remains unbroken. Because it is based on physical laws, not ideological theories, or monetary manipulations, it is unbreakable.

Try this with the fraudulent concepts and accounting system of the neoclassical theory.

So, why isn't it in wide use ? Because we're living in a system based on fraud, something like in a state of drug addiction that will take a long time to recover from, and we can't put a car into reverse when it is traveling down the road at 100 km/h.

If the correct definition of economic efficiency would be suddenly introduced, our present system would collapse, destroying the lives of billions. Therefore, although we know it is a fraudulent, suicidal system, nobody wants to take the responsibility to tear it down and hurt people, least of all myself. This is why I refused to write books on the subject in spite of several publishing offers. Albeit, the copyright is open, anybody can use it without any payments to me.

So, we just have to wait until the criminility of the present system either becomes unbearable, or it self destructs, and then hope that an efficient system can be introduced. I would say, self destruction will come first, on account of the worthless US Dollar the world's economy is based on.

By then I may be long gone, but it makes no difference to me, as I don't wish to see another Great Depression, had enough of one, I've done my best and that's all that matters.

Now back to my painting........

Chees, Ed Deak.

Thanks for the clarity, Ed.

RTB:
Just some further supplimentary info that I missed with the info provided last night. For those who try this treatment and are also on medications, Ruby Red Grapefruit has the effect of magnifying the effects of a broad range of drugs, especially drugs that are calcium or alkaline mineral based. With some drugs, the effects can be heightened by as much as 50%, so be careful.

Things to expect while on this kind of dietary treatment would be foul smells and weightloss from the effects of detoxification. This is no ordinary protocol and anyone who looks into it will note that it is extreme to say the least, but so is cancer and its modern medical treatments are also far more extreme than a strict one month dietary protocol, in my opinion.

Finally, this dietary treatment has had its share of being smeared back in the 70's with the Latrile/B17 controversy. Latrile is a generic ineffective manufactured version of cyanidin, where manufacturers try to patent it to make a buck but just couldn't duplicate the results with the natural way of cyanidins coming from fruit seeds. Any claims that Amalgdin/Latrile should be considered as an essential nutrient are also false.

More importantly, any testing done in the 70's refused to look into inducing protein deficiencies to force cancer cells to utilize proteins from protein bonded cyanidins to rebuild and divide. As such, all testing was comprimized, other than the one doctor who continued to have successful results through such a method.

Its all about getting cells, particularly cancer cells, to "take the poison". There are numerous examples of poisons that float harmlessly through the system until they are unlocked from its carriers. The best example I can think of is sodium chloride, best known as refined table salt. Sodium Chloride is a poison that is safe (or led to be) until the Chloride is separated from sodium. The body recognizes this and leaves it alone. The body does the same with Amalgydin (the protein bonded cyanidin I speak of) until cancer cells specifically, are pushed through protein deficiencies to accept and unlock Amalgydin to release the contained cyanide. From there, well, white blood cells have to eat too! Tis better that your cells dine on cancer intead of vice versa.

IMAC and NLN:
You both have every right to think what you both like. Interestingly enough, nature has its ways of "culling" the weak from those who are strong when it comes to survival. Its called "survival of the fittest", but note... I didn't say physically fittest, now did I?

Hey, remember that comment about bisphenol A I did. Well the Globe and Mail's got a story on it entitled, "Are plastic products coated in peril?"

It's all about Vom Saal and Welshons, too--the guys who did that study. And they even used some of the same quotes as I did--especially about the comparisons between government-funded and industry-funded studies on the safety of chemicals.

Brain, "survival of the fittest" is a tautology--Darwinism's biggest joke. Sometimes the weakest survive, anyway, like those little rat-like mammals that possibly co-existed with dinosaurs and began a line of progenitors leading directly to--you guessed it--us.

Darwin was an idiot, Brain, no offence, eh. He interpreted the whole survival thing exactly backwards. The strongest archetypes are "chosen" by competition so that the species to which they belong WILL NOT CHANGE. This is no way to precipitate SPECIATION, like the silly darwinists and neo-darwinists claimed.

Therefore the "survival of the fittest" is just an insipid mirage. It's like saying the tallest man will be able to reach higher than the rest. That is, it means nothing, and ADDS NO NEW INFORMATION, which is basically the meaning of the word, tautology.

Thank you, Brain, for some good medicine, well-explained. Is this treatment, as far as you know, more effective for some specific types of cancers than others?

My mother lost her life to cancer fairly recently, and her oncologist had her on all sorts of chemo-therapies, which, after getting nowhere with Essiac/Flor-Essence, she embraced. Ultimately, it was cancer of the liver to which she finally succumbed. Sadly, after years of chemo, this was no surprise.

I sure hope folks are cutting and pasting B's post for future reference. What a terrific gift to pass on. :-))

Hello everyone!

A very interesting article indeed!

We should also note that the problem of chemicals in the environment is only starting to affect us. Most of the chemicals we use and the plastics industry started just before WW II or shortyl after, and came into widespread use in the post-war period.

The use of Agent Orange is still a big issue too. Many Vietnamese victims are trying to sue the US government and the chemical companies in American courts. Furthermore, Korean soldiers who served in Vietnam just received a compensation package for exposure to Agent Orange.

Wow, with two possibly stolen elections in America (2000 and 2004), Stephen Harper, Global Warming, chemicals in our environment and cancer increasing I need a good sixpack of Shaftesbury Honey Ale (or Okanagan Springs Pale Ale) and a joint! More chemicals for my body! Yeah!
Sadly, the beer and marijuana are not available in South Korea! However, I can get Budweiser style beer here. Ah, never mind!

Actually, the guy who coined the "survival of the fittest" was Herbert Spencer, not Darwin.

In an ecological system there are no "fittest" only species the system needs for its own survival, using them to reduce resource conversion and waste.

This is why the admired "kings" of the animal world are the most endangered, while the lower forms and bugs are thriving, going stronger with every human effort to kill them off.

Of course, the stupidest and most wasteful species are the human race, without any programmed benefit to any ecological system and completely useless for any practical purpose.

What I always find the funniest, are the glorious eagles on the flags of empires, symbolizing strenght, glory and pride, while gorging themselves on a feast of rotten, dead fish carcasses. But at least they're performing some useful task, together with cockroaches and shitbugs, unlike the human race with its unsatiable appetite for ecological and self destruction.

Then there are the two headed eagles on the flags of past empires like the Russian and Austrian, each head fighting the other which way to fly and what dead fish to stuff first into a common belly. Must have been trained as economists, lost in a world of, to them, incomprehensible realities.

Ed Deak.

Truman
I think one actually blames Darwin for that phrase, 'survival of the fittest', unjustly. What he actually talked about was 'survival of the fit'. It was Darwin's Bulldog, so-called, Thomas Henry Huxley, who penned that aphorism (which is, I agree, both a tautology and inaccurate) about natural selection being a matter of survival of the fittest, wasn't it?

ED
Interesting juxtaposition of opinion. You may be right. I know Huxley uses the phrase in his introduction to Darwin's magnum opus - he may well have been quoting Spencer, of course.

Ed and Alcibiades, you're both right, it wasn't Darwin who first used the term, it was Spencer, and I was perfectly aware of that. It's been mostly associated with Darwin, though, as I'm sure you know.

The idea that evolution proceeds by something known as "natural selection" was supposedly Darwin's big contribution, although many had thought of it before him, notably Wallace, who shared his thoughts in a letter to Darwin, before Darwin claimed that the idea just came to him magically while viewing the animals on Galapogos.

Sort of like Robert Gallo discovering the supposed hiv after Luc Montaigner send him a copy from France.

Neo-darwinians, realizing that characterists which were "acquired" by individuals within a species could never get into the genetic apparatus and so the hypothesis of "acquired characteristics), invented by Lamarck, was discredited by serious thinkers.

Darwin went for it, though, hook , line and sinker.

Hence the idea that it must be "mutations" which are the prime engines of evolution.

The problem with mutations is that they are easily overrun by the global sequencing of an entire genome--and are almost always retrograde in expression. (The aneuploidal expression of the 21st chromosome, for instance causes Downs Syndrome) You've probably heard of the famous peppered moth story from England, which darwinians claimed proved that "natural selection" could change a species. It too has been discredited because (by serious thinkers, anyway) the black moth, supposedly, a result of "industrial melanism," has been shown to a member of the SAME species as the white moth.

No speciation has occurred. Similarly, even after thousands of years of humans inventing varieties of dogs, (so-called breeds) all dogs are members of the same species.

Remember, Darwin's big essay was called, "The Origin of Species.)

No speciation has occurred. Now one might imagine that humans' tinkering with the variations of dogs might be analogous to hundreds of thousands of years of "natural" history in evolution because of the astounding variation in the species--from tiny lap dogs to Newfoundlanders and Great Danes.

They're all perfectly able to mate and produce fertile offspring--the ability of which is the definition of "species."

The theory of evolution by natural selection and mutation is one of the silliest ideas ever invented by the human mind. Another is religion.

Good Morning "The Brain". I was wondering if this diet is a "preventitive" concoction, or\and for people who are presently dealing with cancer??

Also, I assume the "seeds" are ground without shells, right??

I do not have cancer(I hope), but daily I use alternative\preventative treatments through enviromental awareness, and dietary awareness. It's been for many years I have elected to use alternative medicines (ie. FN's medicinals.)

Thanks once again "B".

Peace ;-)

RTB

Ed, I listen to every word you say, er, write, becaue I have great respect for your experience and knowledge, but I wonder if what you've been through in life--and seen and participated in, has left you with a maybe too, uh, "dim" view of our species.

I know we're greedy, gullible and predatory at times, but we can also be thoughtful, generous, creative and satisfied--even enchanted--by ascetic and meagre lifestyles.

It's obviously vanity, but I, for instance am in total awe of my own brain, and often the brains of other people.

The human brain has to be the most dangerous, but also the most wonderful thing invented so far. And it's at least likely that all that fusion going on in the stars--not to mention the big bang--was set in motion to "inspire" the cavalcade of events which would manufacture the "stuff" of which we're made--from hydrogen to helium, all the way to carbon, oxygen, nitrogen phosporus and sulphur.

It's hard to keep it in mind, but we are quite marvelous creatures--occasionally.

Some economists beleive that ideas are one of the resources that are used in economic activity and wealth creation. It's seems like quite a stretch to me to rationalize how ideas could be directly affected by physical laws. Are you up to the task of explaining it?

Secondly, not everyone invovled in our current economic process is engaged in criminal activity. Whether it's a fraud or not is a debatable point. When someone applies the necessary force to overcome the law of gravity that's not fraudulent behaviour, it may be very unproductive, but it's not fraud........

Truman,

It may come as a surprise, but I'm the most positive believer in the future of the human race. But not the way it is progressing now. Generally, I'm very easy going and full of jokes, until it comes to economics. And the resulting political idiocies, of course.

I bought a book on the Mayan Calendar years ago, which I unfortunately loaned to somebody and never saw again. Although I'm not a mystic by any stretch, rather a sceptic and nonbeliever, yet at the same time neither do I dismiss possibility.

According to that Mayan calendar, the world may either destroy itself through the shifting of poles, which already have happened many times in the history of Earth and can happen again, mainly on account of the imbalances caused by oil exploitation.

Or the Age of Enlightenment begins. The predicted date would be Dec. 2012.

Crazy ? Well, it might be some screwball idea dreamed up by a drug soaked mystic, and I can't remember how they came to these conclusions, but, even as a hard nosed realist, I have seen a few unexplainable things in my life, so I don't dismiss anything as impossible, so I vote and work for the Age of Enlightenment.

In any case, the way environmental and human destruction is going on in the name of fraudulent economic theories, the predicted date would be about right for the point of no return, so we can only hope for a shock, or awakening .

Meanwhile, there's no harm calling the warnings and suggesting well proven, practical solutions I've spent a lifetime working on. Not as some egghead sitting in an ivory tower, coming up with academic nightmares, but as somebody who has done and is still doing the practical, hands on work in the field.

As far the ecological purpose of the human race is concerned, we can see programmed, logical purposes for every form of life, except the human. Somehow, the Biblical version of humanity being the "glory creation" in God's own image, seems to be a rather far fetched theory in view of our constant attempts for the destruction of creation and the repeated self destruction of ourselves in the name of economic theories.

Also, I have done a lot of work that could be the treasured posessions of people for hundreds of years to come, so I hope they will have the chance to enjoy real life and what millions of us have worked on with love and care.

Now I have to go work on my greenhouse, but will leave a little story I could never explain.

About 20 years ago I was working on a small Briggs & Stratton engine on the lino
floor of my shop. As I was either tightening, or loosening a 1/2" bolt, the wrench flew out of my hand, looped over my right shoulder and fell on the floor with a clang.

I reached back to pick it up, then turned around, the floor was clean, but there was no wrench. I searched all over, but finally had to and buy another one, which I still have.

About 10 years later, in the meantime we cleaned and swept the shop hundreds of times, I walked into the shop one morning and there was the bloody wrench, exactly where it fell. I called my wife and we just stood there, looking at it, not believing our eyes. I still have it.

So where was my 1/2" wrench for 10 years ?Any explanation by anyone? So far nobody had any.

Well, on this basis, perhaps there are miracles, so I still bet on the Age of Enlightenment and hope to see a bit of it before I croak.

Cheers, Ed Deak.

Ed, I believe your 1/2" wrench story exactly as you told it. I have similar stories to tell. I have to go put up crown mouldings for a customer now. Maybe I'll get up the jam to relate a very similar story when I get back. Maybe I'll still feel reluctant to be labelled, "flakey," though.

Ed Deak
You didn't find a 1/2" ratchet handle with it, did you? I had one of those disappear in similar mysterious circumstances - so far it hasn't been gone for quite 10 years though. I won't give up hope of seeing it again but I did have to out and buy a replacement.

Life's strange sometimes.

Cheers

No, it was a combination wrench, not a socket.

NLN. Ideas are and must be affected by physical laws, because it takes physical laws to realize them.

In my life, especially in custom manufacturing,
and even today, I had to invent hundreds of things, designs, tools, systems, methods etc. Most worked, some didn't because of physical realities. Right now I'm working on some articles for a magazine, they requested, on certain designs I came up with and built over the years. How about a firehose scrubber/washer for volunteer fire departments that can be built for less than $30.? It works and our local guys have been using it for 2 years.

The search for physical realities is the purpose of models and prototypes. Things may look perfect on the drawing board, or in the inventors' heads, or even in small scale models, but may not work in full size, because of the realities.

In arts, the theory is that we can mix any colour from the 3 basic colours, red, blue and yellow. But when we try it, we get mud, again because of physical realities.

The fraud in economic theories is not the manufacturing process, but the theory that all manufacturing processes and products are beneficial if there's a demand for them and somebody makes a profit.

Now, there's a great demand for drugs, kiddie porn, pedophilia, etc. etc. It would be the ultimate "free enterprise". Should then they be permitted, and if yes, why, or why not?

The same applies for the uncontrolled destruction of the ecology because there's a demand. Like the long term, ultyimately terrible consequences in human health and ecological destruction, of the Alberta tar sands oil extraction.

If stealing something from a store is a crime, why isn't the stealing of the store, the destruction of large numbers of lives, the losses of properties, opportunities for children caused by the insatiable demands of the "investors" in the so called "markets"? What's the difference between methods of theft and robbery? Why do stock values go up when large numbers of employees are fired, if not for the reasons of the legalized theft of their wages.

When and where did Adam Smith's "invisible hand" justify unlimited exploitation, or Ricardo's advantage theories permit the unlimited movement of, even gold capital, let alone the crime wave caused by artificially created imaginary capital to take over the resources and ruin the lives of millions on the other side of the globe ?

Why are economists falsely claim that Smith said:" In competition self interest serves the common good",which is an outright fraud, legalizing crime ? Where and when did he write it ?

How about the the neoclassical accounting system that accounts the repairs and medical expenses from accidents, and natural disasters, as "credits" without accounting the incurred "debits" ?

How long could any business survive by accounting items sold from inventory, without debiting the replacement costs? Yet this is what the GDP is about and accepted by idiot governments.

How about, the accounting the sale of capital, i.e. resources, as "income" and "growth", and the replacement of workers with automation, stealing their wages, as "productivity" ?

I could go on and on, but we have thrashed this subject so many times before, that any more of it is a waste of time, because people who are brain damaged by fundamantalist religions, or ideologies, are totally incapable to understand facts, or that they may be supporting criminal systems.

I've never seen a nazi, or a communist admitting the crimes committed by their heroes and don't expect to see any capitalists to admit to the mass destruction caused by their criminals either. As we can see in some of the comments made by the faithful, right here.

Cheers, Ed Deak.

You know, I was thinking...issues have two sides to them, "dark" and "light". Sometimes our comments regarding truth, are light, hopeful, feel-good, and and comforting. Sometimes "truth" reflects "dark", feel-bad, hopeless and painful, but both are reflections of "truth".

As humans, I respect that we need to seek "balance" continually. Sometimes we cannot be comforted by "dark" takes on a subject, and sometimes we cannot be comforted by "light" takes on a subject. Perhaps these are times we have to step away from one and spend more time in the other. We search within to "see" what we need...

I am bringing this up because most of the people that care and love the "Earth", find themselves in "burnout". IMO, this is a nagging indication that we need "balance". SOOOOOOOO...Step away.

If we can, I think we need to understand the message of people who speak about the "darkness" of the human condition. Both "takes" are relevant for a better understanding of this issue.

No one suggest we need to be more "dark", do they?? People, who are burnt on "dark", sometimes attempt to alter and curb another persons comments by suggesting they lack "positive" affirmation, and are a little sour on the human condition and sorry about your life but step it up a bit eh....

IMHO we need to allow the presence and exposure of both sides ("dark" and "light") in order we totally understand the issue as to find solutions. In some cases on this sight, I do not think this is being done by some some of my respected brothers and sisters.

Just and observation...Peace.

Fiat - to much intellect, to much information and too much history to get into it with you point by point. Not everything that you describe is happening as you describe it. Not every situatuion that you point out is a fraud or a criminal activity. The Tyee gives us a forum to hash out the theoretical from the practical and at the end of the day most of us live in the reality of the practical world. See you next time..........

Righttobear:

The dietary protocol on cancer is not a preventative. The best prevents of cancer are the common sensical lifestyles and natural food and bevy diets you already know!

But to best explain how and why people most commonly get cancer through diet other than dumbly and knowingly ingesting toxins, Cancer simply cannot flourish or spread in the body unless the body is in a state of acidosis.

Chronic acidosis is not only the cause of over 80 diseases and currently effecting the MAJORITY of North Americans today (to quote Christopher Vasey), if chronic, will lead to premature aging and most assuredly cancer.

Keep this in mind always. Acids break things down. Alkalines build things up.

Its like looking at orange juice poured into milk and you see the curdling effect. The body likes it this way and if it gets to much of one or the other over chronic periods of time, expect trouble.

Early sypmtoms are what is mistakenly (or not so mistakenly when considering that a good number of university professors are far more knowledgable with drugs and making a living off them than they are with dietary prevention of diseases in general) misdiagnosed as arthritis, hemmoroids, vericose veins, easy bruising, ulcers, acid reflux, burning colon, bleeding gums, anerysms, kidney stones, gallstones...

The most famed diseases of acidosis are: heart disease, cancer, arteriosclerosis, arthritis, osteoperosis and pretty much every other kind of bone and circulatory disease known other than from birth, shall I go on? If it isn't a microbial disease, its chronic acidosis that kills people as the buildup of strong acids in the system lead to so many diseases in the body, its staggering. And often, acidosis is the prelude to viral and bacterial diseases as prolonged acidosis weakens the immunity system by flushing out alkaline minerals that are needed as necessary buiding blocks of immune cells.

cont.
So when I say that the biotech industry is on the take and corrupt, with the blind leading the blind in the universities I mean it. And if I say its SURVIVAL OF THE MENTALLY FITTEST, as it all really does come down to choice, I mean that too, cause I'm not talking about the origins of species, here. I'm talking about the origins of survival.

If this dietary protocol for cancer was a preventative, it could then be considered as an essential nutrient but its not. Why? Because some of us are smart enough not to expose ourselves to hazardous environments and damage our DNA. And besides... its POISON!
:-)

Nevertheless, workers expose themselves to hazardous environments on a daily basis to feed their families and to that end, the best treatment I've found (and the cheapest, which is why its such a good well kept secret in this day and age, with everyone on the take with a hand out for any and all favors) is the aforementioned dietary protocol. Sometimes, you've just got to fight poisons with poisons. :-)

It will work on all types of cancer, even slow growth cancers and in all stages, but when you reread the posts I've given you'll see that the faster the growth of tumors, the more effective this treatment is.

As mentioned before, the only failure this diet has is if the warnings aren't heeded and if the primary root cause of cancer has not been eliminated or removed. Other failures could happen with the use of store bought juices instead of juicing with fresh carrots and red grapefruits and thats about it, other than to say that Randomhouse is currently looking at information in much greater detail than what I've posted here and the greedy ones...

The ones that like steal and call it their own will get sued and ruined for beginning to try (not to mention, being totally outclassed). If it wasn't for the fact that so many people are dying from cancer now, I wouldn't take the risk. Christ, It's just not about the money anyways. Look for a book from Random House to come out by Fall, winter, next spring at the latest with the title "The Perfection of Love" with all that you are after, as new chapters are being added and old ones revised with what has already been submitted.

This blog is lacks the most obvious - advice about how to detoxify the body.

Visit detoxamin.ca to learn more about IV chelation alternatives. Detoxamin removes all of the toxic heavy metals from the body.
Read under 'Studies' the achieved 90% reduction in cancer mortality after using chelation, yes, 90%!

And consider researching (and using) PCA-Rx if you're conserned about all of the other toxins, such as PCBs, pesticides, etc. PCA-Rx is in Canada at oradix.com

Thank you "Brain"
for your time to pass on this "gem" of a peice. I feel enlightened by all this information... I have copy\pasted it to save. I will also look for the book "The Perfection of Love" when it comes out.

I have been in the health industry for 25 years, and at 45 I am even more a student then ever. As you, my wise friend, if given the opprotunity I have to try to help and hope to make a difference. Bye for now "The Brain".

Peace and Love ;-)

I forgot to mention before, that in the mid '80s one of my daughters was working in a very well known herbal/healthfood store on West 4th Ave. in Vancouver, across from Plimley's.

Although the products may have been organically grown, much of it was harvested in the US with haying equipment and was full of bugs and eggs that hatched in the bins. Apparently, there was some kind of a city bylaw that forced them to spray their bins in the store with pesticides.
I don't know if the practice is still going on, but so much for organically grown herbs in the stores.

We were also attempting to get into the organic herb business at the time and have built a beautiful solar drying shed etc., harvesting, washing, processing and packing our perfect products by hand.

We got enquiries from stores and herbalists on the prices we would charge for certain items, like lovage, "per bale". I.e. Hay bale sized by using hay harvesting equiment. Needless to say we never received any orders and our drying shed is still there, used as a storage, but never used to dry herbs for sale.,

For example, we were growing beautiful chives, again harvested, washed and cut by hand and we sent out samples, including some to the Rodale Organization in the US. All the replies said that they were the best chives they've ever seen and tasted, I may still have some of the letters, but the highest price we were offered was $15./pound, when they were selling it for about $450/pound. We needed at least $60. to break even at the time, so we never sold any chives either and allowed our cattle to eat up the stuff.

So much for at least some of the healthfood business when the whole concept and value is destroyed for profits. Even now, when we have no greens of our own in the winters and have to buy "organic" stuff in the supermarkets, when we open some of the "President's Choice" packages, they reek of chemicals and have to be thrown out . At one time my wife, who has some serious chemical allergies, got violently sick after eating some of that packaged "organic spinach".

Ed Deak.

Besides food, my guess is that a lot of the chemicals in our bodies is due to manufactured goods, especially those from overseas where the standards aren't as high (or aren't even enforced).

Did anyone catch this story from last week? A whole bunch of children's clothing in China was deemed unsafe due to chemicals.

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2006-05/31/content_604581.htm

Does any of this clothing make it here? I would guess that it does. I have a baby daughter and almost all her clothes are made in China. We buy Organic cotton where we can, but there's not much choice.

There's also a law saying that baby clothes has to be treated with fire-retardant. This is a public safety issue, but I can't help but think this was lobbied for by big chemical companies.

Another thing is that kids ride in minivans everywhere nowadays. There was a recent study showing that new cars contain a massive amount of chemicals.

Also, I want to add that a lot of our furniture is made out of formeldehyde particle board.

Mr. Ed Deak

Just wanted to say thank you...thank you kindly for all that you have done and will do, and all that you have posted here.

I could only find one error in all of your posts on this thread. It is contained in this paragraph...

"I could go on and on, but we have thrashed this subject so many times before, that any more of it is a waste of time, because people who are brain damaged by fundamantalist religions, or ideologies, are totally incapable to understand facts, or that they may be supporting criminal systems."

The error being that it may be a "waste of time" for the "people who are brain damaged by fundamantalist religions, or ideologies, are totally incapable to understand facts, or that they may be supporting criminal systems."

But my friend, you precious time is not a waste for the hundreds of others (myself included) that read your wisdom and are enlightened. Remember, many read, few post.

God Bless

A very worthwhile article.

And yes, thanks Ed Deak for your generously offered wisdom.

And thanks, too, to The Brain. I saved this thread as my brother died of cancer, and a few short years later, my parents both developed the same kind of cancer but both, against some pretty high odds at the time, survived it. It was a devastating time. I have done a lot of reading on it since then and very much appreciated your post, the brain.

Great comments by all, by the way.

Water! Water! Water! 90% of the population is dehydrated to some extent. Our bodies need water to funcion properly. Find a good source of water and drink lots of it. Water is used to rid our bodies of unwanted chemicals.
The Nikkon people have a water filtration system which is worthwhile looking into.
I normally would gag in trying to drink a glass of municipal water. This is the first water I can drink to satisfy me in the quantities I need. The results were quite satisfying as after about 3 months I realized that I had more energy and some aches and other minor ailments had dissapeared.
Find a good source of water and drink lots of it. Your body will reward you.

Excellent article, and very alarming information, that should be on the front page of Globe and Mail.

Happy Planet uses plastic bottles. I drink only from glass bottles, whenever possible, for the BPA that is mentioned, that in in plastics. But that doesn't explain the presence of PCBs.

I hope there will be a follow up article on what an average person CAN DO to protect him/herself.

electric-bicyclist, serendipitiously, the day after I wrote my tyee post above, regarding BPA, I found a story in the Globe and Mail about the very same Vom Saal-Welshons study regarding the 130 studies that were done regarding PCBs: 92% of government-funded studies finding adverse effects; 0% of industry-funded studies finding adverse effects.

I think the problem is that big money seems to have taken over medical science and many of the research results are skewed in order to favour their financial interests.

There's probably no short-term remedy for this situation; it seems to have become an intrinsic characteristic of our capitalistic democracy.
