•Olusola Sowemimo shares her experience of the 41st convention of the cancer Control Society in Mexico:

BEGUN nine Thursdays ago, simply to tell cancer – challenged people they can overcome this disease which many doctors assert is insurmountable, today’s feature of some cancer survivors should persuade the Doubting Thomases that: “neither drugs nor injections, but the right kinds of foods and drinks bring lasting health.”

I do not know if I got the quotation right. I read it for the first time in 1977 in THE GRAIL MESSAGE, where the author addresses the subject of care of the healthy physical human body. Threat means the body should not be left uncared for till it falls ill, or apart. Along with the suggestion of the author that cancer cannot grow in a human body in which the blood is well composed and the liver is optimally healthy, I developed a strong conviction in the 1980s that cancer is curable.

So, when Dr. Isaac Ayodele, Dr. Gilbert Ngige and Dr. Emmanso Umobong invited me to give one of the inaugural lectures of their College of Integrative medicine held on August 1 and 2 this year at the Water Parks in Ikeja, Lagos, I was fascinated by the subject…Cancer therapy in Alternative Medicine. The College will soon renewed Integrative Medicine Research College

That presentation was serialised in this column for seven Thursdays, discussing the possible causes of cancer and their possible cures, and citing three Nigerian case studies. In one of them, PSA, a prostate cancer marker, dropped from 164.7 to 114.3 (normal is 0 – 4). In another, stage 4 (i.e terminal) colon cancer shrank by 25 percent and blood markers fell from 1,400 to 500. While these cases and the third, breast cancer, were being observed OLUSOLA SOWEMIMO, a natural health lover and avid reader of this column got wind of the 41st convention of the CANCER CONTROL SOCIETY which was to take place in Mexico from August 31st till the end of the first week of September. I persuaded her to attend. Today marks the third Thursday she has been sharing her experiences of that convention. Last Thursday, she mentioned THE GUARDIAN ANGEL, a revolutionary acupuncture hand massage devise which has sold millions of units worldwide for its ability to stimulate blood circulation, hormone and enzyme production, boost immunity, promote sleep, ease arthritis, inflammation, pain and a host of health promoting events. The public response to this product has been tremendous. But Sola Sowemimo is a very private person, even though a public spirited woman and has, accordingly, not yielded to pressure to expose her telephone or email address. She has promised nonetheless to start a blog where related matters will be addressed. Meanwhile, this column will attend to all enquiries on her behalf. Today OLUSOLA SOWEMIMO provides links to many cancer survivors she met and related with at the convention, including a boy stricken with cancer who fled from home when his parents tried to force chemotherapy down his throat. His case became a legal and media issue. In the end, he used Alternative Medicine and… survived his cancer. OLUSOLA SOWEMIMO writes…

Cancerthrivors. This is a new word I added to my vocabulary at the convention. I met so many people who have survived their different cancers and are now thriving, hence the word ‘Cancerthrivors’. It is amazing that they all have one thing that runs through their stories, the will to survive on alternative means and thrive after their cancer experience. Meet them:

Billy Best – In 1974, at the age of 16, he gained national attention when he ran away from home to avoid chemotherapy. He had been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. For personal reasons, he was against chemotherapy but, as a minor, he had no legal decision-making power over his own fate. Against his better judgment, Billy began the standard treatment regimen.

After enduring a few rounds of chemo, Billy knew in his heart that this ‘medicine’ with its harsh side effect was not for him. He decided that he would rather live out his life than endure it. He packed his bag and fled from home.

His story gained media attention and generated support from the public. It was the promise of Alternative medicine that convinced Billy to return home and seek out the therapies he could live with. As he and his family reconciled and mapped out his new health regimen, the first step was to make significant nutritional changes to his diet – eliminating red meat, dairy products, white flour and sugar. He then added daily doses of vitamins and supplements, drank Essiac tea, and finally began injections of 714X (made up mostly of camphor, nitrogen) an immune system-boosting treatment that he obtained from Canada.

When Billy learnt he was cancer-free, he said ‘That’s what I expected from the beginning, I always had faith in this choice of treatments. The only drawback is that everyone doesn’t know about it. These things do work. It’s too bad so many people think chemotherapy is the only way to cure cancer’.

His mom Susan added, ‘There are lots of choices people can make’

Billy continues to speak on his cancer journey and against the tyrannical cancer authorities. He advocates that people be free to choose their healing method. Billy also affirmed that it was his basic human right to choose his preferred mode of healing.

Carl Helvie, R,N., Dr.P.H. a nurse who holds a Masters in Public Health and Doctorate in Public Health both from John Hopkins University (Baltimore, Maryland) and has over 60 years’ experience as a nurse practitioner, educator, author and more.

He has survived lung cancer for 38 years. He had been given six months to live by his doctor but he used natural interventions and has stuck to a modified holistic lifestyle after his recovery. He has avoided a recurrence of cancer and, at 81, he has no chronic disease and he is not on any prescribed medications.

Dr Helvie caught my attention when he said,’ I listen to the Lord always’ he continues ‘I pray for guidance in all I do’, He said, he avoids, cow’s milk (there are now substitutes such as almond milk, hazelnut milk and many others), cheese and no peanuts for him because of the high protein. One of the alternative medications that worked for him was Vitamin B17 but the doctor who treated him with it at the time had his licence withdrawn by the authorities 53 years after his own healing.

He says there are multiple factors that cause cancer in each patient but one thing he advocates to the over 60 cancer patients he meets a month is to try to rid themselves of all ‘negative energy and bad thought forms’. He said, one must be ‘medically intuitive’ when dealing with any illness. He further said when he wakes up in the morning, part of his prayer is ‘Angels and beings of Light, protect me this day. And at night he says ‘all negative energy and thought forms, be removed from me and install positive thoughts’. He said he has learnt to always call on his helpers.

He shared two incidents with us. On an occasion, there was flood in the area where he lived and he called on his ‘angels’ to move this water away from his house and he had just a slight brush with the flood. The second story was about how he had checked into the hotel for a speaking engagement the next day. The guests in the next room started making so much noise that he could not sleep. He said he thought of calling the front desk to complain, then he decided to call on his ‘angel’ to help him lower the noise or eliminate it completely. In just a few minutes, the noise went down completely. He said experiences like this may appear trivial to some but they made his life a pure bliss. He said some of his professional colleagues are always surprised to know that he believes in ‘angels’.

He considers himself as spiritual, not religious, and now dedicates his life to working with others.

He published his secret to overcoming lung cancer in his book, ‘You Can Beat Lung Cancer: Using Alternative/Integrative Interventions, published in November 2012. For further details, visit www.HolisticHealthShow.com and www.BeatLungCancer.net

Rick Hill, an author and patient, was a very friendly and jovial man who smiled a lot. He has every reason to do so, for he survived cancer. He spoke on ‘My Recovery From Testicular Cancer.

In 1974, Rick was diagnosed at the Rochester, New York Mayo Clinic with stage 3 Embryonal Cell Carcinoma that began as a testicular cancer but quickly spread to his lymphatic system and was systemic. He was offered Actinomycin chemotherapy and was scheduled to have it. He was encouraged to bring his family into Rochester to say his goodbyes. While preparing to go for chemo, he learned about the ‘Oasis of Hope’ in Tijuana (pronounced Tiuwana) from a pastor friend, decided not to have the chemo and left right away for Oasis of Hope (I shall dwell more on the cancer hospitals next week).

After his full recovery, Rick became a talk-show host and he began working on an ozone air purifier, for which he was granted patent for co-inventing but sold his patent to Shaklee Corporation. The ozone machine, reduce mold, bacteria and virus.

Rick started visiting Oasis of Hope to and volunteered to do nutritional cooking shows for the patients and conducts New Patient Orientation. We had a very healthy lunch at Oasis when we visited. The food was all organic, very tasty and dessert was tapioca very nicely presented. After cancer one cannot afford to eat otherwise.

Rick is the author of ‘Cancer Conundrum’ which tells the inspiring story of how he beat cancer without chemotherapy or radiation. Tells of his journey through, healthy foods, juicers and colonics. He is now the Director of Admissions for Oasis of Hope and can be reached 619-690-8424 or 888-500-4673. His personal email is: rhill@oasisofhope.com

Susan Moss, a Cancerthrivor’s, gave a lecture titled, ‘Keep Your Breasts’. She started the lecture by asking ‘Was Angelina Jolie right in removing her breasts? The audience shouted a resounding NO! Susan said, removing the breast does not stop cancer so Angelina had not overcome cancer in reality. Susan healed her Breast and Uterine cancer 22 years ago on the all-natural MOTEP program me which she compiled. Susan researched all the Cancer Diets and developed her own version of a cancer fighting diet low in fat, low salt, devoid of sugar with raw foods, juices and fruits and veggies. She incorporates carrots (Vit A), Barley (Vit B17-laetril), Citrus (Vit C) along with other cancer fighting foods into her diet.

MOTEP means Marathon Olympic Tumour Eradication and Prevention Program. Through this regime she accomplished a ‘self-lumpectomy’ (dissolving the tumour naturally) and healed herself using only inexpensive and non-toxic therapies. Her very close friend was ravaged by her medical treatment following her doctor’s advice and passed away at 38 years of age. Susan knew her friend’s option was not an option for her and this experience made her write the book ‘Keep Your Breasts’ with a follow up ‘Survive Cancer’. She dedicated the book to her friend.

Susan said at the lecture that the ability to heal yourself is in your whole system. If you have doubts then it will be difficult to be healed. She said resisting the advice of the medical system when you are in a state of fear takes courage. It also takes discipline, determination and a strong belief in the body’s ability to heal itself. She encourages cancer patients to write down ten reasons why they want to live. For more see susanhmoss.com

Tamara St. John had ignored her cancer to get her MBA from university. In 2009 after using alternative therapies to cure her cancer, she wrote the book ‘Defeat Cancer Now’. In the book she listed the factors that worked for her: natural nutrition, detoxification, Budwig, Apricot kernels, Enzymes, exercise and more. There was something that Tamara said which struck me. She said after she tested cancer free, she went back to her old eating habits and the cancer returned with a vengeance. She quickly reverted to her healthy habits and today she’s free.

Dr Paul Ling Tai a Podiatric Surgeon, very jovial, gave a very interesting lecture on ‘8 Powerful Secrets to Anti-Aging’. At 67 he looked like he was in his late 40s to many of us. He spoke about the many things he is capable of doing at 67 which he says is just a number. To him, there is nothing like ‘old age’. If you live a healthy life, you will not age, he advises people to watch their nutrition, do exercises and augment their diet with supplements. He strongly advises against eating meals with alkaline water.

He advocates that people will rediscover their youth using the Cordyceps mushroom which he says is nature’s gift to mankind because it reverses aging, heals diseases, is good for overcoming depression and it restores health and vitality.

He emphasised that we must know our ‘biological age’. Know the imbalance in our bodies. He asks, what do you eat that you are actually allergic to? He said Antioxidants are very good for the body, Vitamin B12 is good and he sounded a note of caution that Homocysteine is what people should look out for not cholesterol.

Homocysteine is an amino acid, which is now considered a risk factor in several diseases. High levels of homocysteine is now linked to increased risk of the development of some diseases and death from some common conditions. Some of these are osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, stroke, alzheimer’s, complications from pregnancy, demetia, diabetes, slow metabolism, reduced appetite and more. Measured from the blood, homocysteine levels are a highly accurate way to determine current state of health and to also predict future predispositions to illnesses later on in life.

If high, homocystane can be reduced by eating the right foods, taking nutritional supplements. He emphasised the need to take supplements (including those from mushrooms), many of them have been used by those who know for very many years. Some of them have been known to slow the ageing of the skin and prevent cancers. Another thing to look out for is Vitamin D deficiency and warned that Vitamin A should not be taken together with Vitamin D.

Dr Paul Ling Tai said there was so much opposition from government to alternative medicine because of selfish agendas. He said he was once sued by the government and he sued in return back and won the case. He’s known as the ‘Doctor’s Doctor’ and ‘Doctor of last resort’ as he has been consulted on countless difficult cases all over the world.

Back to my visits to the exhibition stand, I had an interesting experience at a booth that displayed Portable Relax Saunas. I had watched people go in and come out of the sauna, all dressed up. Each time one person or the other beckons at me to give it a try. Since the stand was next to that of TLC, the crystal lady who I had made friends with, she was able to convince me by telling me of how she has been using hers for the last five years. I thought, why not and had my moment with the relax sauna.

It came with a chair so I sat inside and I was zipped up. I felt the heat on my body and in the other relax sauna next to me sat Angie. She said she had stage 4 cancer of the brain. After the chemotherapy and radiation, she is now in remission but her body suffered so much, her menstrual period had stopped for four years. She said she sat inside the booth the previous day and she was pleasantly shocked when her periods returned. She had come to get a free use of it and to buy one to take home. The exhibitor asked if he could record Angie’s testimony and she promptly agreed.

Another lady met us rejoicing with Angie and she also said her arthritis and stiff neck were all gone, she said ‘this is a miracle, I can move now’.

TLC explained that it is very good for maintaining the body after the side effects of chemotherapy.

As usual Lunch is always exciting. I see different kinds of meals and many are gracious enough to allow me take photographs of these colourful organic meals.

At one of the lunch times, I sat next to Amber, who only discovered she has triple negative breast cancer on July 11th. It is a cancer that is more common in Africans American but Amber is white. She had surgery for lumpectomy on July 24th, the week before the convention opened, had her first chemo on July 31st and then heard about the convention. She was attending the convention to learn how to heal without chemotherapy. In her words, she said, ‘I have sustained the consciousness that the cancer is to be overcome’. I wished her well and prayed that she gets all the help she needs.

•Last week, OLUSOLA SOWEMIMO began to share her experience of the 41st Convention of the Cancer Control Society (CCS) in Mexico. She continues today with information on products and protocols.

Today’s column, eight in this series, was not, like last week’s, part of the presentation to the College of Integrative and Alternative Medicine. It is an outgrowth which reinforces belief in Alternative Medicine that cancer can be cured. Last week presented some good tidings. First, the Nigerian gentleman in England who went there in January, in search of a cure for Stage 4 (terminal) colon cancer which had spread to the liver, one lung and kidney, should return home in November, a healthier man two months after he added six herbs to his treatment protocols of chemotherapy and radiation as described in earlier parts of this series, a scan report revealed 25 percent shrinkage of the tumour. Another two months on, blood markers of the cancer had decreased from 1,400 to 500. The consultants described his recovery as “unusual” and said he could come home, and return in February next year for checks. The second case is that of a gentleman in Nigeria challenged with prostate cancer confirmed by a biopsy after a PSA (Prostate Sensitive Antigen) reading of over 160 against a normal range of 0 – 4. Last week, within one month of an aggressive herbal therapy, the PSA fell from 164.7 to 114. He is happy and hopeful of another crash later next month. Then, OLUSOLA SOWEMIMO who attended the 41st Convention of the CANCER CONTROL SOCIETY in Mexico began to share her experience, as earlier promised. … As a reminder, this is the part in the serialisation of the text of a presentation by FEMI KUSA at the maiden seminar of the College of Integrative Medicine held at the Water Parks, Toyin Street, Lagos, on August 1 and 2, 2013.

Products

at the exhibition were so many natural products with proven successes, machines, gadgets and different practitioners. It was an opportunity to get medical advice, many were free and many attracted some fees. I would be sharing in subsequent editions many of these products. One thing that surprised me was how all the results from the different practitioners added up to the same medical reports. Of note was the fact that many of the delegates were already practising healthy habits. Even though, natural foods were served on the lawn by Sheraton Hotel, they came armed with their fresh juices in glass jars, salads and different organic meals. I would be showing you pictures of many of these foods.

The convention proper lasted three days, on the fourth day, there was a Doctor’s symposium, the forum was for doctors to challenge themselves to do more by debating, analysing and showcase their discoveries. It was opened to the public.

On the last day was the Bus tour of Cancer Clinics in Mexico. These clinics are undeterred by the bad publicity they continue to receive purely because the ‘powers that be’ do not want people to know the incredible work going on in these clinics. In one of the clinics, a famous doctor had brought his mom to cure her cancer BUT he had begged that all records of his visit to the clinic should please be expunged. One key factor among them all is to uphold a healthy nutrition, details of which I shall provide as we go along. We walked round the hospitals, spoke with some of the patients, had healthy snacks and meals at the hospitals

I am happy to know that some Nigerians have been successfully treated in some of these clinics.

Do you know that some of these clinics had been in existence for over 20 years? Indeed ‘Knowledge is Power’.

I went to the Convention with a skin tag or mole of over twenty years, by the time I went through different tests and supplements, it has dissolved, I was surprised to find the smelly content on my fingers.

This gets more interesting, can you believe that I held something in my hand to sleep and I slept all through the night for six straight hours, there is a lot out there waiting to be tapped.

You are probably wondering what made me sleep undisturbed, it was Acupuncture without needles! The Guardian Angel. I met James Min pictured below with me at the exhibition. This amazing product is a simple way to prevent and treat many symptoms. Quoting James, instead of inserting needles in your hand, this product stimulates acupuncture points in your hands to treat and prevent pain and disease. Its unique shape has close to 300 spikes that reaches a quarter of an inch under the skin just by holding it. It stimulates these acupuncture points without puncturing your skin.

James says it has been proven to work as a part of preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Arthritis, Numbness in fingers, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Joint issues, and more.

• Increases Energy

• Revives brain cells as well as improves your memory

• Improves your resistance to stress and diseases

• Improves blood circulation

• Controls blood pressure

• Improves your concentration

• Tones up your muscles as well as organs

• Improves the quality of your skin

• Reliefs from any soreness

• The easiest and most effective way to guarantee your well being.

Just Keep It In Your Hand!

It stimulates all the vital points of your hands.

When you stimulate certain acupuncture points of your hand, it triggers the brain to release adequate amount of hormone, chemical, oxygen, and blood in order to balance out the troubled areas of your body.

If you have pain or discomfort in any part of your body, simply find your sensitive points from your hands and use various Korean Hand Therapy tools to treat the location. Hold it in your hands when, you watch TV, walk, talk on the phone etc. Just by holding and squeezing it, you can treat and prevent problems in your body.

It is the Guardian Angel and it is all 24K solid gold coated because a lot of people are allergic to various metals and things. Especially because Guardian Angel goes deep into your skin, it has been coated with gold to prevent rash, itchiness, and infection. The company had tried everything; wood, jade, stone, copper, stainless, aluminium, and even silver. James brought the inferior versions to show us and nothing worked better than gold.

The Guardian Angel was invented by a Japanese acupuncturist about 12 years ago and because it worked amazingly well for many different symptoms, more than a few million have been sold. Many people and companies tried to copy the Guardian Angel and they introduced similar products in shapes of a ball, pyramid, triangle, egg, or tubes. Be careful, they also claimed that the copy products worked as well as the Guardian Angel, but they ended up causing skin punctures, rash, allergic side effects, and even nerve damages. That is why they ended up in the courts and law suits.

The Guardian Angel is promoted and sold now by many doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists, acupunctures, and people in medical industries. People get better result with Guardian Angel because they can use it all day long rather than 30 to 40 minutes of acupuncture treatment a day. You can use it as long as you want, to treat your body and mind. You do not have to worry about anything because you can never over stimulate your brain. The brain knows exactly when, where, and how much to release all the great chemicals and hormones to your body.

There is a chart showing exactly where the acupuncture points are and how to treat them, the Guardian Angel in any areas over 100 degrees Farenheit, like inside of a car, directly under the sun, car glove compartment etc.

Below are testimonies that can be verified from the contributors:

Brad Lyons

I purchased a Guardian Angel acupressure hand/palm tool plated with 24K gold and have been using it for about three months now.

It has helped alleviate my headaches, stimulated blood flow to the brain, the feet, relaxed my tense muscles in my neck and shoulders and has promoted relaxation to my nervous system while also stimulating nerve endings and pathways(meridian).

Richard Berklite

I was dancing ballroom and felt a cramp or pull in right thigh- when sitting down then attempting to get up, the pull or severe pain of Sciatica kicks in and takes my breath away. As I try to stand straight and the pain eases and I am able to walk and dance.

I have gone to sports medicine chiropractor for water therapy, adjustments and had four days of one to two hours daily of acupuncture. Had taken X-rays of back bone and was planning physical therapy and evaluation. Spent 1,000s dollars doing this! I came here to Well Being Creator and went through a demonstration with James and the Guardian Angel.

A few minutes of using the Guardian Angel allowed me to get up from a very low curb without pain. Amazing!

• JASON LEE

Thanks for relieving my back pain caused by a sport-accident. The Guardian Angel lessened the pain in two minutes of use.

Customer From Portland, Or

I started to get hot flashes, my face would turn bright red and I would start to remove my clothing to get comfortable. One time, I told my husband that I need my hot flash pills. As he went to get the medication, he handed me my Guardian Angel instead. He told me to roll it back and forth in the palm of my hands until he got back with the medication. In a short while, he was back with the pill, but the Guardian Angel had eliminated my hot flashes and my body was already back to its normal temperate. It took only seconds. No more pills.

Customer From Los Angeles, Ca

I had pain in my left foot when I would stand or walk. I found the corresponding point in my finger, and held the Guardian Angel on it, and in seconds it was gone. I am pain free.

Customer From Beverly Hills, Ca

As a chiropractor, my shoulders can get very painful from my work. When my shoulders are overworked, I now can take care of myself. My patients have also become informed about Korean Hand Therapy to improve their own care. Thank You for teaching me Korean Hand Therapy.

Today’s column, seventh in this series, was not part of the presentation to the College of Integrative and Alternative Medicine. It is an outgrowth which reinforces belief in Alternative Medicine that cancer can be cured.
This column brings good tidings all around. First, the Nigerian gentleman in England who went there in January, in search of a cure for Stage 4 (terminal) colon cancer which had spread to the liver, one lung and kidney, should return home in November, a healthier man two months after he added six herbs to his treatment protocols of chemotherapy and radiation as described in earlier parts of this series, a scan report revealed 25 per cent shrinkage of the tumour.

Then, OLUSOLA SOWEMIMO who attended the 41st Convention of the CANCER CONTROL SOCIETY in Mexico reports, ass earlier promised… As a reminder, this is the seventh part in the serialisation of the text of a presentation by FEMI KUSA at the maiden seminar of the College of Integrative Medicine held at the Water Parks, Toyin Street, Lagos, on August 1 and2, 2013.

The college was founded to train members of the National Integrative Medicine Practitioners Association (NIMPA). Now let me introduce her…

who is she?

MrsOlusolaSowemimo is an alternative medicine enthusiast who continues to dig for knowledge, having been raised by parents who embraced healthy nutrition. In her quest for knowledge, she attended the 41st Cancer Control Society Convention in California and shares her experience. She enjoys learning, sharing and guiding others with similar interests. She writes from Lagos.

When a loved one passed away about five years ago from complications arising from cancer, I got curious and started to do a lot of reading and all manner of research on this dreaded topic. It is so prevalent now that, there is hardly anyone who does not know someone battling cancer. It is as though if it is on a rampage. It does not know class or gender.

In my findings, I also realise that there is very little that conventional doctors do to help, apart from putting patients through those powerful and mostly toxic drugs used in chemotherapy.

I grew up in a household where natural unprocessed foods were encouraged and, in fact, salad was served as dinner on Thursdays. We ate no white sugar and in those early years, my mom baked the wheat bread that the family ate. The leaves of her lovely ewedu stew came straight from the garden at the back of the house while the pawpaw she ate every morning came from the compound. This woman will pick the hibiscus leaves and put in her teapot and drink the infusion as tea. I was surprised to find hibiscus tea on the shelves of Holland &Barret a few years after.

With all of these experience growing up, I was not surprised to find out that we will only eradicate cancer when we go back to nature. You cannot begin to imagine the potential damage our future generations will face if we keep encouraging pastries and fizzy drinks. On a visit to Cotonou last year, I was impressed to see that the country has not encouraged any infiltration of foreign eateries. We visited Mama Benin in Cotonou, it was all about our local delicacies. On another occasion, we were confident enough to sit at a roadside eatery where we had jollof rice with grilled fish laced with rich green lettuce and peas. Our drink was fresh pineapple juice with ginger and we had a local drummer who provided the music that accompanied the meal. There was no one in sight to disturb the experience.

The quest to validate my knowledge about the importance of healthy lifestyle led me to the 41st Annual Cancer Convention of the Cancer Control Society. I was surprised to learn that this society has been in existence for very many years. The purpose of the society is public education in the prevention and control of cancer and other diseases through Nutrition, Tests and Non-Toxic Alternative Therapies. They lay no claim to curing cancer but CONTROLLING it.

The President of the Society is Frank Cousineau, a very tall gentleman who does not say two sentences without referring to his wife. She was a nurse in the hospital where his mom was admitted to treat her cancer. She showed so much compassion that he knew he had found his future bride immediately. The convention Director is Lorrain Rosenthal and the society is a California non-profit educational corporation funded solely by memberships, donations and book sales.

The society maintain a telephone ‘hotline’ and supply a ‘Green Sheet’ which lists available therapies and doctors. From my experience at the Convention, there are several medical doctors who have embraced alternative healing processes for cancer other than chemotherapy.

The convention was held at Sheraton Universal from August 31 – Sept 1 and 2, 2013 in California. It was highly intensive with lectures by well-known medical doctors, clinical researchers, nutritionists, authours, who spoke on prevention and control of cancer and other diseases through nutrition and therapies such as chelation, DMSO, Oxygen, Herbal, Cellular & Electromagnetic therapies, Laetrile. Gerson, Hoxsey, Poly-MVA, Phytochemicals & Immunotherapy. There were also talks on natural therapies for Heart, Diabetes, Athritis, MS and Eye diseases. Of great importance were the many recovered cancer patients who gave encouraging reports, some of who were medical doctors (who knew that chemotherapy was not an option).

There were about 40 speakers, many of them medical doctors several film shows and a lot of demonstrations at the event, most of which I would share with you. The speakers on day one were, Tony O’Donnel Ph.D., Phytonutrients & Cancer, Doris Rapp M,D, Challenges of our Toxic World – A wake up call, Gary Gordon, M.D., Dr Gordon’s answer to Cancer, Charlotte Gerson, Founder Gerson Institute – Healing Cancer and other Chronic Diseases, Michael Murray M.D. The Role of Blood Sugar in Cancer and Diabetes, Robert Rowen, M.D. Oxygen Therapies and Cancer, Doug Kaufmann, Author Does Fungus Cause Cancer. After lunch we had more speakers, PhranqTamburri, N.M.D. Options For Surviving Prostrate Cancer, Billy Best, Patient, The Billy Best Story, Geronimo Rubio M.D. Reversing Liver Cancer With Stem Cells & Immunotherapy, Christian Wilde, Author Researcher, Tumeric-Out of the Closet, Rick Hill, Patient, My Recovery from Testicular Cancer, Oram Miller B.B.E.C. Cell Phones, Wi-Fi, and the Wirings in Your home: EMF Hazards & Solutions

I had made friends with a lady who sat next to me on day one, by name Rhodora, she used to be a nurse in the hospital but felt she could do more in terms of caring for the aged and advising people on healthier alternatives. She had come with her different fresh juices and fresh salad to last her for the day. My greatest surprise was when she said she was 67 years old. I was stunned because she looked about 10 years younger. She was not the only surprise of the day there were many more. Betty, a lady who works with the society, was another surprise. She refused to tell her age and craved my indulgence not to have her picture taken and I promptly respected that. If I could guess, I would put her age nearer 90. Betty went up and down with little sign of tiredness. She was happy to bang the bell to encourage people to return to the auditorium from the exhibition stands. Another lovely I met is Mary, she would be starting a four year training to become a naturopath as she is so passionate about alternative medical practice.

We walked round the hospitals, spoke with some of the patients, had healthy snacks and meals at the hospitals

I am happy to know that some Nigerians have been successfully treated in some of these clinics.

Do you know that some of these clinics had been in existence for over 20 years? Indeed ‘Knowledge is Power’

I went to the Convention with a skin tag or mole of over 20 years. By the time I went through different tests and supplements, it has dissolved. I was surprised to find the smelly content on my fingers.

This gets more interesting, can you believe that I held something in my hand to sleep and I slept all through the night for six straight hours? There is a lot out there waiting to be tapped.

Being the fourth part in the serialisation of the text of a presentation by FEMI KUSA at the maiden seminar of the College of Integrative Medicine  held at the Water Parks, Toyin Street, Lagos, on August 1 and 2, 2013.

The college was founded to train members of the National Integrative Medicine Practitioners Association (NIMPA). In the first part published on August 8, two promising case studies provided the grounds for hope that herbs and nutritional supplements, used alone or as an adjunct in orthodox cancer therapies, can bring about a cancer cure. In one of these cases, stage iv colon cancer which had spread to the liver, lung and kidney shrank by 25 per cent within two months of the introduction of alternative medicine therapies to conventional therapy. In the second case, breast cancer shrank significantly. Last Thursday, August 15, featured the loss of oxygen in the body as a possible cause of cancer, some common causes of deoxygenating and some ways and means of oxygenating the blood, including the use of oxygen tablets or capsules. This week, the column explores gene and cell damage as potential cause of cancer.

Last Saturday, CANCERDEFEATED’S 41st Convention opened in Mexico, one of the world’s fastest growing havens of Alternative Medicine. In this country, Alternative Medicine thrives because, the government and the medical association give doctors a free hand to decide what medicines to give their patients. CancerDefeated is a non-profit organisation devoted to showing Doubting Thomas doctors and lay people alike that cancer can be cured. Its conventions go beyond that to providing information about food and food supplements which help to prevent cancer, foods which support the body in its bid to rid itself of cancer, techniques or concepts, such as anti-angiogenesis, which doctors may employ in the treatment of cancer.

Suboptimal Liver

As far back as the 1920s, it was suggested in a spiritual work which mediates and reveales knowledge on earth today, leaving no question unanswered, that cancer cannot occur in any part of the human body if the liver is healthy and functioning optionally. It took about 50 years for medical science to appreciate this in autopsies of cancer deaths which found the liver compromised. Now, we know the liver is the chief detoxifying organ of the body. If it slows down, poisons accumulate and damage the weakest organs of the body which cannot protect themselves against the resultant toxicity. The liver is especially crucial in breast cancer prevention and management for not only this purpose. Additionally, it is important for breaking down excess estrogens into their component parts and for supporting their export into the intestine with the aid of bile salts for elimination through the stool. Where the liver doesn’t do this, the excess estrogen levels rise. Increased estrogen levels may offset the estrogen-progesterone ratio. Estrogen torments or irritates breast tissue which, in reaction, may become cancerous. Sometimes, the liver may simply be overwhelmed by an overproduction of estrogen, especially the harsh variants (estradiol and estrione), by the ovaries and fat cells in the body. The ovaries may be over stimulated by the pituitary gland in the brain which may have its own problems. Toxins may be troubling this gland. Excess salt in the diet also disturbs it. Sometimes, estrogen influx comes from milk, egg and other dairy products, or from plastic containers of foods. Farms add estrogen to the feed of chicken and cows to make chickens lay eggs almost every day of their adult lives which is unnatural, and to make the cows, similarly, to make milk. Today in Nigeria, women have abandoned the leaf for food wrapping and opted for cellophane. Cellophane and other soft plastics emit zenoestrogens into food. Since salt fat cell also produce estrogens, it is adorable that women who wish to prevent breast cancer or those who are fighting it reduce or manage their weight. Estrogen levels may be normalised by taking herbs such as VITEX, which normalises pituitary and ovarian functions. DONGQUAI does it too. Zinc promotes the production of progesterone and this helps to bridge a wide estrogen-progesterone ratio. A proprietary product I often suggest is MAHARANI. It is a blend of many female herbs. We cannot ignore YARROW, one of the queens of female herbs. By reducing weight, high estrogen levels may be crashed.

A suboptional liver, even in breast cancer encounter, can be strengthened with herbs and other Alternative Medicure protocols to work better. These herbs are called hepatics. Some physicians, such as those at the Gerson Clinic, use organic coffee (now on sale in Nigeria) for enemas which open up the liver and drains poisons accumulated in it. The beverage coffee cannot be used for this purpose. Nor can the organic enema coffee be taken as a beverage. Organic Sulphur, too, plays a critical role in liver detoxification. Onion and garlic contain tiny bits of organic sulphar. Not many women hate garlic.A herb like Milk Thistle helps the regeneration of demaged liver cells. While the Rain Tree company operated, there were Amazon Liver Support and Carquela as proprietary products. MariaTreben Swedish bitters is good for the liver and the kidney. Bitter kola does it, too.

A liver cleansing may be mild or dramatic. Some herbs stimulate the liver’s function. Others calm and nourish it. Yet others protect the liver. Apple Cider Vinegar may be mildly cleansing. Collagogues promote the manufacture and release of bile from the liver. About one liter of bile salt is made every day and stored in the gall blader until it is needed to digest fats.

Some other liver herbs I’d like to mention are Dandelion, Oregano, Bear Berry, Burdock root, Calamus root, Turmeric (present in curry), Artichoke and Bitter Leaf. A good proprietary product to remember in liver cleansing is Liver Balance. Kidney cleansing should go along with kidney cleansing. A congested kidney may cause problems for the liver.

Immune Boosting

Immunity crashes in an acidic environment which is oxygen deprived, and encourages proliferation of unfriendly microforms, the population of which may overwhelm a disoriented, starving and weakened immune organisation. Alkalisation helps to make the work environment more hospitable for immune function. In the London case study, meat (beef) fish and egg were forbidden in the diet. Excess animal protein in the system has been scientifically proven to be a cancer promoter and a source of allergy of all sorts. Beef in particular has been linked to colon cancer. As cancer patients lose a great deal of weight, it may sound ironical, somewhat, that they are being deprived proteins to maintain body structure, repair of cellular damage and for the production of more immune cells in the state of emergency that the fight against cancer is. In this condition, all the protein resources of the body are being mobilised for immune war against cancer.

No, they are not being deprived of vital war resources. I always suggest, in place of animal protein, proteins from plant sources which are more readily absorbed and which leave no such protein end product sludges which may cause more problems or slow the war against cancer. In this regard, some great options are (1) spirulina (2) chlorella (3) whey protein and (4) proprietary blends of all sorts which may include (a) Forever Aloe Lite (b) Bragg’s Liquid Aminos acid (c) free form amino acids, to mention a few of them on the Nigerian market today. These protein sources do not need as much energy to digest them as is committed to the metabolism of flesh proteins and the evacuation of their poisonous waste products.

A mixture of alkalising juices can be taken to improve the pH balance. Lime and lemon may taste acidic; they end up in an alkaline ash. Lime and lemon juice may be added to Beet root juice and taken periodically throughout the day. As Dr. Marx Gerson has taught the world (please check his thoughts in the internet), vegetable juices can be added to the regimen in the therapy to boost immunity. Large amounts of salads should be eaten, but without salad dressing. Apple cider vinegar and olive oil dressing can be used instead. About 70 per cent of the meal in one day should be raw as the World Health Organisation (WHO) has been advocating for the prevention of degenerative diseases. Oxygenation of the blood is important as well. I often advocate wheatgrass and paud Arco drinks. They kill microforms, stimulate immunity, alkalise and break tumours.

Immune Herbs and Supplement

After detoxification and diet change to balance the pH, and perhaps after inclusion of zinc in the diet to reactivate the thymnus gland, another major consideration should be the repopulation of friendly bacteria in the colon. This calls for inclusion of probiotic and prebioticin in the diet. I would have liked to suggest Yoghurt for the abundance of friendly bacteria or probiotic it offers, but for the fact that Nigerian Yoghurt brands do not appear to have enough of these immune enhancing factors, and, besides, are overladen with sugar. I am told a brand called FARM FRESH YOGHURT has an unsweetened brand which rates highest on the yoghurt chart. The world knew about the health benefits of yoghurt when the longevity of Bulgarians was studied by scientists. It was found that they took yoghurt with almost every meal. It may appear contradictory that in one breath, poultry foods are frowned upon but are welcome in another, yoghurt being a milk product. But the milk of yoghurt is a different kind of milk. It has been predigested by the probiotic found readily in it. One of the friendly bacteria species found in Bulgarian yoghurt was named after the country….. acidophilusBulgaricus. It is present in many proprietary probiotic products on the market today. Cancer loves and thrives on sugar. I try to get around insufficiency of probiotic in Nigerian brand Yoghurt by emptying the contents of two capsules of probiotic (each five billion cells) into a bottle of yoghurt the day before I took it. It features prominently in the two cases mentioned above.

There are two more points I would like to quickly make about Vitamin C… One of these is that it has proven a helpful factor in anti-aging life extension research files, among other animals given larger doses of Vitamin C and other antioxidants were found to live many times longer than their species normally lived. We must by now be familiar with the laboratory experiment in which a chicken heart lived about five times longer than it would have in a free range chicken.The researchers threw it out in the end… not because it died or was dying, but because they had proven their point that antioxidants extend life expectancy.

Herbs play a significant role in kick-starting sluggish immune function. Some of the well known immune boosters are Astragalus leaf and root, Echinacea, Golden seal root, Grape Seed Extract, Pycnogenol, Olive leaf, Sterols and Sterolins, Vitamin C, Zinc, Graviola etc.

Being the third part in the serialisation of the text of a presentation by FEMI KUSA at the maiden seminar of the College of Integrative Medicine held at the Water Parks, Toyin Street, Lagos, on August 1 and 2, 2013.

Last Thursday, August 15, featured the loss of oxygen in the body as a possible cause of cancer, some common causes of deoxygenating and some ways and means of oxygenating the blood, including the use of oxygen tablets or capsules. This week, the column explores gene and cell damage as potential cause of cancer.

 

Cell damage during cell division 

There are about 100 trillion cells in the average adult human body. All of them except those of the brain and perhapsthe nerves are constantly dividing to reproduce themselves before they die off. One hundred trillion cells is written as 100,000,000,000,000.Each cell is probably replaced hundreds of thousands of times in one’s lifetime. In one single day, as many as 40 billion (40,000,000,000) cells may be replaced. In the course of these replacements, mistakes may occur in the splitting of the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid), which is the blueprint or code of each cell to be reproduced. Recently, the media reported the birth of a baby without the brain in the skull. This means the skull is hollow.Obviously, the gene for the brain was missing in the baby printers will easily understand what is happening. Printers print from plates fastened to a press by pressing paper over them. If a printer has an order for 200,000 copies, the plate may wear after 100,000 copies. Any printing done after this number may not be clear or it may blur. So, the plate has to be replaced. In respect of cell reproduction in the body, sometimes it is a gene that is missing. The cells produced in such error are not normal cells, and, therefore, lose communication links with the body and do not get information or instruction from the brain about the rate at which they should divide, hence the abnormal rate of division. If we grant to Mother Nature, as agent of the Creator of all things the honour of perfection, we would recognise that the possibility of this aberration, through the foibles of souls maturing in these bodies, would have been foreseen, and antidote for it would have been provided for in the Creation Plan. This abnormality arose in the first place out of dietary and other misconducts. If we dig deep down into any event which suggests imperfection in the work of Mother Nature, we would discover that man is the architectof it.In the far sighted nature of Mother.Nature, every cell is equipped with a gene called the P.53Gene which kills off a cell which has stepped out of tune with the rhythm of the body. This gene, located on the DNA, is called the “suicide gene.” Why these genes fail to pull the trigger on the cancer cell? Another relevant question in cancer therapy is: why do the 30 billion or so immune cells, including the NATURAL KILLER (NK) cells not catch and destroy thesedeadly cells? If they failed, why did the liver, as the chief detoxifying or purifying organ in the body, let them pass?

Some studies have associated these failures to the loss of energy within the cells. Many factors such as Vitamins, co-factors,minerals and enzymes are inseparable from energy production in the cell. But Co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) would appear somewhat more significant, going by some studies, and I would like to emphasise it in this presentation.

Dr. Folkers, one of the most outstanding CoQ10 researchers for decades, ran the first CoQ10 research on the value of this compound in breast cancer management, and some doctors carried out the experiment with 32 women in a Copenhagen Clinic. The woman had advanced, high risk breast cancer which had spread to the lymph mode. They had gone through chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery to no avail. Researcher Dr. Foikers and his two medical doctor colleagues placed the women on a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and CoQ10 to see if these would help. The CoQ10 dosage was 90mg daily. And, sure enough, six of the 32 women survived beyond two years, although, by convention, the condition of their cancer dictated that they die before then. Their tumors had shrunken significantly.

In 1993, one of these women unilaterally increased her CoQ10 dosage from 90mg to 390mg a day. By the following month, the cancer was completely gone. Another woman who followed her footsteps by increasing her own CoQ10 dosage to 300mg daily also witnessed complete remission of the cancer. Their doctors reported these surprising developments in the following statement: “The tumor was no longer palpable and in the following month, a mammogram examination diagnosed disappearance of Her tumor. After that, another woman in the group also increased her dosage, this time to 300mg. her tumor soon disappeared. A clinical examination revealed no presence of the prior residual tumor nor of distant metastases,

This study has been reported to be significant in at least two respects. First, the quantum of chemotherapy, toxic to cells and depressant to the immune system, may have constituted an overwhlming harmer to CoQ10 energising the dormant suicide genes of the cancer cells to destroy those cells. It may, also have deprived the liver of energy to detoxify the blood and, by extension, the cells. The cells, of course, include the immune cells, expecially the NK cells.

Secondly, an increased CoQ10 dosage reveals the capacity of this compound to energise the system back to health. In other words, the cells did not have enough CoQ10 in their pre-cancerous state. Even when CoQ10 was given at going daily, the usage may have been eaten up by chemo or radiation. For CoQ10 is an antioxidant and may have been donating itself to free radicals of the chemo and radiation.

Further, CoQ10 research in this area has shown that the compound stimulatesimmunoglobin production and increases the CD4 to CD8 ratio in humans. These effects are immune-boosting and suggest the relationship between cellular energy and protection against tumour growth and cancer development. More research has shown as well linkages between low plasma levels of CoQ10 and the onset or progression of breast cancer.

Coq10 is used in all therapies, not just for cancer. Originally, it was given to people with heart problems. The heart is one of the richest sources of CoQ10, understandably because it is a hardworking organ which requires lots of energy to move blood round the body. It has helped many causes of palpitation of heart muscles, especially when taken with Hawthorn berries and Magnesium, and congestive heart failure. People with low ejection fraction also benefit from CoQ 10 therapy. Ejection fraction is the quantum of blood which one chamber of the heart pumps into another. Doctors worry if less then 50 per cent is pushed out. Congestive heart failure is a condition in which the heart is enlarged and weak, pushes blood to the lungs for oxygenation but is too weak to pump it out. In elderly people, the lungs may becomes so congested with blood that they begin to cough as an attempt by the lungs to rid themselves of this burden. Sometimes the coughing may persist for years and fail to respond to cough medicine and antibiotics which doctors give to clear infection which follows congestion. By improving the hearts energy with the use of CoQ10, congestive heart failure is often well resolved.

Ubiquinone or Ubiquinol

Two forms of CoQ10 are available, namely ubiqui (noneandubiqui(nol). Ubiquinol is the more effective and is more expensive. Some smart producers sell ubiquinone as ubiquinol to sweep the market at cheaper prices. It is always important in the CoQ10 market to buy only trusted brands.

 

Free radical damage

Free radicals are atoms or molecules without paired electrons in the outermost shell of their electrons. They are unstable, highly reactive and destructive. They steal electrons from the cells to stabilise themselves, thereby damaging these cells. In this process, holes are literally drilled into the cell membranes. This makes the cell to leak, like a car tyre tube punctured by a nail. Hundreds of thousands of free radical hits may occur on a cell in one day. The cell spends a great deal of time and energy sealing the leaks and healing its injury, with hardly any energy left for other work to safeguard its existence. In the end, it ages prematurely, may become mutated and carcerous or dies. Imagine a car tyre tube punctured many times over with its leaks sealed many times over. Soon, it becomes useless, unsafe to drive on. We cannot escape from free radical threat. We only need protection against it. Free radicals are produced by the body as waste products of its metabolism. From the outside, they come into the body with food, air and water. The body produces them when the immune system fights diseases.Diseases germs launch them against immune cells. Many of our natural foods, fruits and herbs have antioxidant and properties and protect us against free radicals. A new body of research, about which I may speak later, an antidotes to free radicals, suggests we also get free radicals from the atmosphere. Antioxidants, as negative charges, are said to come from the earth. Thus, the earth exhibits a natural balance between free radicals and antioxidants If we do not “earth”the free radical as positive charges we are receiving from the atmosphere, as we earth them with lightening or thunder catcher protection for houses, we will have lots of free radicals sooner than later. Earthling these charges naturally is achieved by walking barefoot on dew covered grass especially, says this new body of research. In the wisdom of Mother Nature Free Radicals are destroyed by antioxidants. The body produces three primary antioxidants, namely:

• Glutathione

• Superoxide Dismutage (SOD),and

• Catalase

These enzymes complexes are made from certain substances which may sometimes or often run short in the body biochemistry and cause a deficiency of these basic antioxidants. These foundation materials include zinc, selenium and manganese. In addition, antioxidants are available also in the form of Vitamins A,C and E. As the entire body has a general antioxidant defence system, specific organs have antioxidants specific to them even when these antioxidants have wider applications. The fat soluble vitamins A and E, for example, are found largely in fatty organs of the body such as the breast, the eyes and the brain. Alpha Lipoic Acid, another popular antioxidant, in fat and water soluble and,so,(NAC) operates in both media.

N- Acetyl Cystane, yet another antioxidant, is used alongside another antioxidant because of its tendency to generate free radicals. Antioxidants do not destroy free radicals directly. They interface between free radicals and the cells, donating themselves. In other words, free radicals steal electrons from antioxidants and, so have no need to steal from the cells. The scenario is like a war front where soldiers form a human shield around their general against enemy fire. A reverse graphic situation may look like an unprotected house invaded every day by armed robbers.

 

Cancer is defeatable

On August 31, CANCER DEFEATED, foundedin 2006, will start a convention in mexico to show doctors and other interested people, many cancer survivors who usedAlternative Medicines, the doctors and clinics who treated them, as well as natural foods and herbs which these cancer survivors employed in their fight for survival.

Many AMERICAN AND European doctors who have been achieving positive results with Alternative Medicine protocols that Mainstream medicine oppose in their countries find their ways to a more tolerant Mexico.

Some Nigerian readers of this column are attending the convention. An interesting part of the convention is a tour of the Alternative Medicine- using orthodox medicine clinics in Mexico where what are termedcancer survival miracles have taken place.

Dr. Oz, a leading figure in nutritional medicine, and Dr. William W. Li, M.D., president and medical director of the ANGIOGENESIS FOUNDATION,will very likely speak on ANGIOGENESIS and ANTIANGIOGENES in the battle against cancer, which many doctors in Nigeria do not give sufficient attention.Angiogenesis is the process by which blood vessels feed the cells. Cancer cells hijack angiogenesis to feed themselves. Some anti-cancer food supplements, such as Shark cartilage, prevent cancer cells from hijacking angiogenesis in a counter process called antiangiogenesis. They say, from their studies that the right kinds of foods play a great role in antiangiogenesis.The block cancer cells from feeding on the blood, surround them, shrunk them and cause their death. I will address this convention in a later column.

 

Being the second part in the serialisation of the text of a presentation by FEMI KUSA at the maiden seminar of the College of Integrative Medicine, held at the Water Parks, Toyin Street, Lagos, on August 1 and 2, this year. The college was founded to train members of the National Integrative Medicine Practitioners Association (NIMPA). In the first part published last Thursday, two promising case studies provided the grounds for hope that herbs and nutritional supplements, used alone or as an adjunct in orthodox cancer therapies, can bring about a cancer cure.

 Some popular suggestions on why cancer strikes

 The list is too long for all of them to be mentioned in an exercise such as this. Some of the common or popular ones are:

• Deoxygenation of blood lymph and tissue,

• Cell damage during cell division,

• Energy or voltage loss within the cells,

• Free radical damage of cells,

• Antioxidant deficiency,

• Nutritional deficiencies,

• Abnormally high microbial population,

• Sub-optimally functioning or weak liver,

• Immune depletion,

• Pathological hatred,

• Pharmaceutical food supplements,

• Heavy metal toxicity and poisoning,

• Chemical and pesticide poisoning,

• Estrogenation,

• Potassium deficiency and elevation of sodium in the blood,

• Hypothyroidism or low thyroid function,

• Systemic Enzymes deficiency,

• Excessive Consumption of animal protein,

• Consumption of white sugar,

•Deficiency of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)

Deoxygenation

We need oxygen to live. Old high school education teaches that the air is composed of about 21 per cent of oxygen and 79 per cent other gases. Yet, a recent study of air trapped in antartic ice ages ago suggests oxygen air content as high as 38 per cent at that time. Could the air oxygen content be going down? Since oxygen is the most important element for human survival, could a deficiency be related to the upsurge of degenerative diseases, including breast cancer, the green plants, through photosynthesis, store oxygen for human consumption … in green leafy vegetable and herbs, for example. But many people in this part of the world do not consume adequate amounts of vegetables every day. When they do at all, the vegetables may have lost vital nutrients through overcooking or long storage or the use of fertiliser in growing them. Besides, the soil on which they grew may have been overcultivated and malnourished. Rain water in clean cities is oxygen – rich. But municipal water supply from which many people derive their drinking water has been chlorinated to kill germs and, thus, is deoxygenated. In 1969, the Guinness Book of Records found the people of OKINAWA in Japan to be the longest living people on earth. They were healthy and agile in body and spirit. Their longevity and health secret turned out to be their water. It was neither chlorinated nor flouridised. It was alkaline. Most of our bottled water in Nigeria is acidic on the pH scale. Sachet or so-called “pure water” is terribly acidic. The cells are weakened and damaged by acidiosis. In Okinawa, the drinking water passes through coral reefs which alkalize it. Alkaline water washes acids out of the body. Soon, the world knew of CORAL CALCIUM from Okinawa which was said, like coral, alkalized water to help fight cancer, even cure it. Today, alkaline water pots and other means of alkalizing drinking water sell well in Nigeria. So, does coral calcium. The lungs provide the body with oxygen through breathing. But many people do not exercise themselves physically well enough, to get enough oxygen into their systems by maximally using their lungs. As a matter of fact, it has been scientifically determined that many people use less than 70 per cent capacity of their lungs every day. The picture of oxygen supply to the body appears gloomier under industrialisation and urbanisation.

Lagos and other Nigerian cities are filled with smoking vehicles, electricity generator fumes, and smoke from firewood, refuse and bush burning, among other environmental oxygen depletors. If you walk on some streets in Lagos, during municipal electricity failure, you may almost choke from the smoke of generators. Traffic jams pump smoke into our lungs. I got introduced to superior oxygen capsules, as VITALAIRE was then called, when my office at the then THE COMET newspaper was about an arm’s stretch from the expressway. My table got filled with SOOT every morning. A test revealed oxygen depletion in the brain. A worldwide study of major cities suggests oxygen concentrations in and around them at about 30 per cent below normal levels. If we add to these environmental assaults the disappearance of the green belt and the replacement of vegetation by concrete and steel, we observe a critical disturbance of a Creation Plan anchored on the Law of Balance. This law upholds the smallest and the biggest entities in Creation, from the atoms in our bodies and the pages of these newspapers and the solar systems to the gigantic Universe. By this law, plant removes carbon dioxide, destructive of human life, from the atmosphere during the day and gives us life-preserving oxygen in return, and in such quantum as is sufficient for us at night when they like us, consume oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. When concrete and metal replace green vegetation, the air we breathe to live healthily is no longer fully supportive of life. One marker of inadequate level of oxygenation besides susceptibility to constant infections is tiredness. Another is pain. Yet another could be headache or yawning all the time. Overcrowding in buses and bedrooms worsens matters. It may be good to keep an indoor green plant indoor during the day and take it out at sunset when it uses oxygen, like us, and releases carbon dioxide which we do not need. The implication of deoxygenation of the air is that less oxygen gets into the body. Without enough oxygen, metabolism is sluggish, waste accumulates, the internal environment becomes toxic, micro-organisms, especially Candida and other yeast cells, proliferate, since they enjoy anaerobic environment, and compound the toxin level with their own wastes. The cells battle to survive in this environment. Some adapt to the oxygen – deficient environment by becoming anaerobic (not dependent on oxygen), like the microforms proliferating in it. Their aerobic respiration produce energy and lactic acid, whereas aerobic respiration produces heat, energy, water and carbon dioxide, which is excreted through exhalation. This anaerobic process goes on for many years before counter strikes in the cells which have become too weak to protect themselves against acid and other poisoning germs. As germs love weak, toxic cells, this may account for why candida, bacteria, viruses and mold have been found in the carcerous breast tissue. Italian Dr. Tullio Simoncini, who injects sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) into breast cancer to make the toxin-filled cells alkaline and inhospitable for these germs, has documented some of his experiences in a book titled: CANCER IS A FUNGUS.

More information about this work, courtesy Bill Henderson, in his book, CANCER FREE, can be obtained from www.curenaturalicancro.com

Some Nigerian doctors have followed Dr. Solocini’s work. But he has not disclosed to any of them who have linked up with him exactly how he delivers this stuff into the cancerous breast. When I discussed with one of them the dressing of breast cancer sores, especially the awfully smelling ones, saying I often suggest the spraying of Forever Living Products (FLP) Aloe First after cleaning, he said he uses Baking Soda Powder to dress the sores after cleaning them.

Oxygenation

If deoxygenation causes cancer, how can we oxygenate to prevent it and to reverse it? An Alternative Medicine practitioner treating breast cancer, or any cancer for that matter, may wish to imagine that cancerous cells are filled with candida, a fungus, and other yeast, and then decide on oxygenation therapies to kill them off and free the cells of these unfriendly inhabitants which are driving them wild and making them to behave abnormally. In Europe, some practitioners put their patients in the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber, in what is known as the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), to make them breathe pure oxygen in a sealed chamber. I do not know if HBOT is available in Nigeria. But we have options. One of them is OxyLife’s 35 per cent Food grade Hydrogen Peroxide which is valuable in the treatment of many diseases, including cancer. I use it prophylacticaly once in a while. Hydrogen peroxide Therapy is controversial. The mainstream medical profession does not want to hear of it. Its position is understandable. For hydrogen peroxide, if misused, can become a double edged sword. One blade kills diseases as fire destroys dry bush. The other blade can damage the cells through oxidative hydroxyl impact. But the hydrogen peroxide used for Therapy is not the common one used as mouth wash. It is the 35 per cent home grade hydrogen peroxide. Madison Cabanaugh exhumed hydrogen peroxide from the dustbin of orthodox medicine and handed it, like a jewel, to alternative Medicine with his book titled: ONE MINUTE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES. In this book, he shows that if the human cell is about 75 per cent water, and if this water is two atoms of hydrogen and oxygen, oxygen must account for not less than 33 per cent of this water content. Oxygen from other sources must make oxygen account for about 50 per cent of the cell. Oxygen depletion, therefore, must cause health problems.

Although hydrogen peroxide therapy is widely criticised in the orthodox medical profession Dr. Lance Moriaty, medical director of a clinic in Nairobi, Kenya, reports that one in eight of his HIV/AIDS patients on hydrogen peroxide therapy become healed. In a study, out of 52 HIV/AIDS patients given hydrogen peroxide, 30 received immediate remission while 22 reported increased energy and well being. Says Dr. Moriaty: “People come back to life … it blows my mind”. There is also, a food supplement named SUPERIOR OXYGEN. It comes encapsulated, and has just been repacked and re-named VITALAIRE. What a more appropriate and less scary named! The base is potassium permanganate, to which are complexed many oxygen-yielding food grade substances. Some of these compounds include magnesium peroxide, astragalus, hypoxis, vitamin D3, calcium ascorbate, calcium phosphate, B vitamins, citrus bioflavonoids etc. It is a portable oxygen or a home oxygen therapy designed to address, among other issues, shortness of breadth, weakness, sleep apnea, daytime sleepiness, loud snoring, all of which signify insufficiency of oxygen in the body. An oxygen therapy featured one way or the other in both cases cited above. Green plants, as stated, earlier are also minute sources of oxygen. On the market today are single plant products such as Chlorella, Spirulina, Parseley, Barley grass, Wheat Grass, and alfalfa. Among many others. There is as well the conglome merits greens products in which about 40 green plants are ground to powder and taken with meals or as tea or with fruit or vegetable juice. They offer the advantage of providing the body with Chlorophyll which detoxifies the system. And recharges the blood. Chlorophyll and heamoglobin have the same basic structure … Hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. They differ only in their central atoms. In chlorophyll, the central atom in magnesium. In heamoglobin, it is iron. When we take a green drink; the body replaces the magnesium with iron to recharge the blood. And since the healthy and radiant blood is indispensable for good health, it is important in breast cancer therapy. Thus, liquid chlorophyll features prominently in the two cases mentioned above.

 Caution with Oxygen

 Oxygen is a double-edged sword. Just as too little of it can compromise health, too much of it is bad and can cause oxidative stress and damage. For singlet oxygen atoms can attach to metals in the body such as iron, copper and manganese and oxidize them and causing them to rust. This is preventable if an oxygen therapy includes antioxidant food supplements such as vitamins A, C and E, Grape Seed Extract, alpha lipoic acid, Co Enzyme Q10,Selenium, Zinc, Gluthathione and the likes of them. They are all meant to be present in the diet. A dietary lifestyle change in breast cancer therapy should focus on the restoration of healthy raw diet which produces them abundantly.

A raw diet in breast cancer therapy is a serious business. A time table is involved. If the patient’s energy can support it, Stanley Burough’s LEMONADE DIET is suggested. Thus is not the typical Nigerian carbonhydrate filled diet. Cancer cells love sugar, and they must be denied sugar, unless sugar is going to be used to lure them to their graves. There are some doctors who do this. They give the patient sugar in the cancer cells open up to “drink” the sugar. But this sugar is a “Trojan Horse” food. As they open up happily, the doctor administers drugs which kill these cells. Before they can close their receptors for sugar intake, they have taken in the drugs with the sugar. A raw diet, on the other hand, is a raw diet. In the Lemonade Diet, for example, LIME or LEMON at one tablespoonful is added to capsule of CAYENNE and one tablespoonful of MAPLE SYRUP. The lime or lemon is a reducing agent. The cayenne drives blood circulation and drives the lime or lemon into the cell. The Maple Syrup provides energy. The patient adds one glass of water to this mixture which he drinks three or four times a day for anything from seven days to 28 days, depending on his energy and capacity to fast. Many people worry at first that they will miss food. But they soon learn it is beautiful to give up cooked food, if only for a while. I later modified this diet to fit the needs of some people who adopted it. This reducing diet literally melts all the toxins crystals in the body. When toxins build up, the body turns them into crystals and plugs them into apertures or pores in organs through which fluids flow. If these pores get blocked thereby, organs get stiff. Imagine a stiff joint and arthritis. When the crystals meet, they release toxins into the blood. The liver, kidneys and skin and the bowels are to eliminate them. But, in a cancer situation, these organs are already weakened; perhaps from the toxins menacing the system, antioxidants can be added to the therapy to neutralise them. The time table I often suggest runs on the hour. A herbal drink such as vegetable juice or Lemonade Diet may be taken at 7a.m followed by Water at 8am and another juice drink at 9am and water at 10am. In the London case, the patient shifted from wheatgrass juice, stinging Nettle, Root Juice, Calamus Root juice, Parseley Root Juice, Carrot Root Juice and water by the hour. It is during the water sessions that water soluble vitamins and other food supplements are taken.
