Testosterone decreases with age. This causes an avalanche of other problems. Testosterone is truly the elixir of youth. With the exception of health enthusiasts, few people are even aware of the great importance of testosterone in total health and this certainly includes most doctors. Thankfully, there are ways to increase testosterone as we get older.

Testosterone Trouble

Of course, the trouble is that the line between the natural hormone and the synthetic or steroids, which are illegal, is blurred. This may be a purposeful attempt to keep natural hormones out of people’s mental awareness. The pharmaceutical companies consider hormones (not least of which is testosterone) to be their domain. But they deal in synthetics or steroids that they extract and sell as prescription drugs. This blurring and confusing of steroids with natural hormones has worked to confound the people and most doctors.

Pharmaceutical companies are masters of deceit. They create confusion that they channel in their favor. Yes, they use psychological propaganda and confusion.

The Replacements

Anything we lose as we age needs to be replaced if possible. I can think of nothing more important than testosterone. In both sexes, the body makes estrogen by converting testosterone to estrogen. When natural testosterone is not replaced as they age, men’s testosterone gets so low that their bodies can’t make much estrogen at all.

I have written about testosterone and the 5 percent cream that is available from a compounding pharmacy. This is what I use, but there are other non-prescription testosterone precursors that produce natural testosterone.

The sex hormones are made from cholesterol, and the pharmaceuticals are trying to stamp out cholesterol under the pretext of promoting heart health. It is a matter of commerce; the lowering of cholesterol is actually extremely negative for heart health. And the doctors won’t come off of this cholesterol phobia.

Insulin Imbalance

The first cause of skyrocketing cholesterol is insulin imbalance. Testosterone and the other sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone, are produced out of cholesterol, as are the sex hormone precursors DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) and androstenedione.

As we age, we seem to get insulin resistant. This causes weight gain and diminished testosterone and DHEA levels.

Pharmaceutical companies don’t say much about insulin because any honest insulin studies lead to the subject of the high U.S. consumption of fructose corn syrup and the health hazard it is causing, resulting in a pandemic of diabetes. Sugar creates high insulin and medical problems. Low insulin correlates with higher DHEA levels, higher testosterone levels and normal cholesterol levels.

Brain Beginnings

Well, we started with the direct relationship of the brain and sex life or sexual potency. I, like most people, think of testosterone as it relates to enhanced sex life, or diminished sex life if testosterone is low.

But Dr. Jonathan Wright wrote in his newsletter Nutrition and Healing that testosterone levels are directly related to cognitive function. He says: “The sex part is important, no doubt, but who cares about sex if you can’t remember who you’re with or what you’re doing with her?”

Wright says that natural “testosterone replacement for men is extremely important for significantly reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline.” He also writes: “Higher serum (natural bio-identical) estrogen levels in women in their 60s are directly correlated with lower incidence of Alzheimer’s in those same women decades later.

“Testosterone for men and estrogen (that’s real, bio-identical estrogen — not horse estrogen as used in conventional medicine) for women is very protective for the entire cardiovascular system, including the blood supply to the brain.”

Nutrient Decline

Seniors, we all need to be aware of declining levels of nutrients and hormones as we age. We need iodine, DHEA, Co-Enzyme Q10, glutathione, etc. Above all, let’s try not to become insulin resistant.

Watch all sugars or sweeteners — especially fructose corn syrup, which is more dangerous to the people than a standing army.

The best doctors I know will write a prescription instantly for a statin drug, i.e., a drug to lower cholesterol. This has absolutely nothing to do with medicine or the treatment of disease. It is commerce, pure and simple. It is crime, incorporated.

The cholesterol myth is so well established and so completely accepted by doctors that there is almost no inquiry into this crime of commerce.

Medical Propaganda

Organized propaganda can force-feed the public mind any myth imaginable. Crime becomes legitimate after it is generally accepted by the people. And the longer a crime has been accepted as legitimate or legal, the harder it is to challenge.

Cholesterol drugs are bad for human health. They destroy CoQ10. They complicate general health in many ways. They cost the American people billions of dollars annually.

The cholesterol myth is based on the Lipid Hypothesis created by Ancel Keys in the 1950s. The Lipid Hypothesis is a theory that saturated animal fats and cholesterol in our food raise cholesterol levels in the blood. The theory suggests that high blood cholesterol causes atherosclerosis leading to obstruction of blood vessels of the heart.

The pharmaceutical companies saw trillions of dollars of profits. Who can say that the pharmaceutical firms didn’t create the flawed studies that led to the cholesterol profit empire we have today? You may call it a “science” of fraud. Recent court cases have proven the pharmaceutical companies do just that.

Subscribing to the cholesterol myth, Americans cut back on good omega-3 fats and started consuming more vegetable oils and margarine, substituting them for coconut oil and animal fat that did our ancestors so well.

Well, as profits skyrocketed, deaths from heart disease and cancer did, too.

What Is Cholesterol?

Cholesterol is actually a heavyweight alcohol with a hormone-like structure that behaves like a fat in that it is insoluble in water and in blood. Cholesterol has a coating compound called a lipoprotein that allows it to be carried in the blood.

Cholesterol plays a critical role in body chemistry. We need cholesterol. To suppress it with cholesterol drugs is to create degenerative disease.

The Benefits Of Cholesterol

From the book Eat Fat, Lose Fat by Mary Enig and Sally Fallon:

• Your body uses cholesterol to make hormones that help you deal with stress and protect against heart disease and cancer.
• Your body needs cholesterol to make all the sex hormones, including androgen, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and DHEA.
• Your body uses cholesterol to make vitamin D, vital for the bones and nervous system, proper growth, mineral metabolism, muscle tone, insulin production, reproduction, and immune system function.
• Bile salts are made from cholesterol. Bile is vital for digestion and the assimilation of dietary fats.
• Cholesterol acts as an antioxidant, protecting us against free radical damage that leads to heart disease and cancer.
• Cholesterol is needed for proper function of serotonin receptors in the brain. Since serotonin is the body’s natural “feel good” chemical, it’s not surprising that low cholesterol levels have been linked to aggressive and violent behavior, depression, and suicidal tendencies.
• Mother’s milk is especially rich in cholesterol and contains a special enzyme that helps the baby utilize this nutrient. Babies and children need cholesterol-rich foods throughout their growing years to ensure proper development of the brain and nervous system.
• Dietary cholesterol plays an important role in maintaining the health of the intestinal wall. This is why low-cholesterol vegetarian diets can lead to leaky gut syndrome and other intestinal disorders.
• Finally, the body uses cholesterol to repair damaged cells. This means that higher cholesterol levels are actually beneficial. Meyer Texon, M.D., a well-known pathologist at New York University Medical Center, points out that indicting fat and cholesterol for hardening the arteries is like accusing white blood cells of causing infection, rather than helping the immune system to address it.

Fact: Deaths from heart disease and all other causes increased 11 percent for each 1 percent drop in cholesterol, according to a 30-year follow-up of the famous Framingham Study.

Do the American people know this? No, because the American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute published in the journal Circulation the reverse of the above fact. Yes, believe it or not!

And the fact is that for women low cholesterol is more dangerous than high cholesterol. Another fact is that when people maintain low levels of cholesterol in their blood over long periods of time with statin drugs, their risk of death from all causes increase.

Occasionally, I browse my books to trigger old excitement. I have thousands, and I treasure them. I would have to live 1,000 years to read them all!

I found that I have two copies of The pH Miracle by Robert O. Young, Ph.D., and his wife Shelley Redford Young (available here). And, yes, I had already read it and had heavily highlighted it all the way through. But ideas and information don’t catch on until we are ready. No matter the value, it means nothing until we are ready to mentally focus on a subject.

I found new excitement in The pH Miracle and I want to share with those who are ready for it.

Health Mysteries

You know, we could bypass a lot of misinformation in the mystery of health if we could go back to the fork in the road that split off between Antoine Béchamp (1816-1908) and Louis Pasteur (1822-1895).

Pasteur created fertile ground for the hoax of modern medicine that we have today. Charlatans and sociopaths saw the vast empire of wealth that could be created on the theories of Pasteur. Hence, we have the multitrillion-dollar synthetic chemical pharmaceutical colossus that has medically imprisoned the whole planet. We are sicker than ever and everybody knows this, but ignorance keeps us sick and keeps making trillions of dollars for the pharmaceutical conspiracy.

Another thing, the government and the political order is in bed with Big Pharma. You don’t hear politicians exposing this madness that is crushing the American people economically and killing millions of people yearly. Talk about murder incorporated and population control all in the same bucket! And guess who pays the bill?

Origins Of Disease

Obamacare says it all. How much more can these psychopaths put on the backs of the people? As the Nation collapses, the American people are stabbed in the heart yet again. OK, for you readers who are alert, here it is: Pasteur said that disease comes at us from the outside of the body; you know, the germ theory of disease. This is a world-class, multitrillion-dollar hoax that has literally captured the mind of the population. Everybody knows that we “catch a cold” and catch disease, so it’s the environment external to the body. Well, what about all the people who don’t “catch a cold?”

Antoine Béchamp, whom nobody knows, taught correctly that the milieu or internal environment governs life and health and sickness and death. Simply, if we are healthy inside, we are healthy outside; and no amount of “germs” affect us at all.

I quote now from The pH Miracle page 24:

Germ, Symptoms or Disease? Unfortunately, Pasteur was confusing disease with its symptoms, and that central misconception has come down through the generations as scientific law. In reality, disease is a general, underlying condition, not the symptoms we diagnose. If germs are involved, they are themselves just symptoms of that underlying condition. Remember that germs come from within our cells and that germs invading from outside the body can only contribute to a state of imbalance and stimulate secondary symptoms. What most people call disease is really just a collection of these secondary symptoms. Germs are really just the expression of the underlying disease condition (overacidity and microform overgrowth).

Common Problems of Overacidity: Your body faces all kinds of breakdown if it is allowed to get too acidic or is forced to fight too hard for too long just to stay basic (alkaline), or if it gets overgrown with noxious microforms. As I said before (and will no doubt say again): If you dig deep enough, these twin problems underlie just about anything that ails you. Here I want to look at some of the most common symptoms that result:

Weight: You can thank an overly acid internal environment for the excess pounds you are carrying around. In a defensive maneuver, the body creates fat cells to carry acids away from your vital organs to try to protect them. In one sense, your fat is saving your life! But that’s why your body doesn’t want to let it go. When you eat to make your body more basic (alkaline), your body won’t need to keep that fat around anymore.

Weight problems can also result from yeast and fungus interfering with the digestion of food. The nutritional deficiencies created can actually trigger your body to pack on extra pounds, in part because you are always hungry. More commonly, blood poisoned by mycotoxins goes to the liver to be detoxified—and that added stress distracts the liver from efficiently metabolizing fat and sugar.

The chaos in an imbalanced body will exhaust the adrenal glands, and the resulting low levels of energy contribute to weight gain. Another likely villain is fatigue of the thyroid gland, which controls the rate of metabolism. Cravings for sugar, outsized appetites, and low blood sugar levels all follow an overgrowth of harmful yeast, fungus, and molds in the body.

Taken together these patterns all make it easier to gain fat and harder to lose it. To top it off, poor digestion and possibly depression will develop or worsen, too. Those are only a couple of the wide variety of ways the chaos of imbalance can express itself. It is only when we change the way we eat to address the symptoms plaguing us that we finally drop excess pounds—without even trying.

Acid Kills

A translation of what you just read: Aging and death of the human body is the progressive (advancing) saturation of the body with acid. So, is this acidification of the population the great big secret of the pharmaceutical cartel? Are they jealously guarding this secret?

Remember that nobody — i.e., Big Pharma, the government bureaucrats, any politician — will identify the issues. There is no money in telling the truth, except for millions of people who collectively pay with their lives and their fortunes for the cloud of deceit and lies that bombard them day and night.

There is no external threat to human and personal liberty in America. It is all internal, like the diseases of the body. So when we look down Main Street, America, and see a vastly overweight and sick people, we actually see a population of dumbed-down people whose junk- and processed- food diet has them (their cells) internally highly acidified.

What an airtight conspiracy for the elite and their psychopathic stooges! They feed the people acid and make them pay for it with sickness and early death.

The American diet is acid. We don’t need “healthcare” and drugs. We need diet education and diet reversal from acid to alkaline.

Alkalize or die! May God have mercy on us!

When bacteria and enzymes in food convert sugar, starches and carbohydrates into the alcohol and organic acids of fermentation such as lactic acid, this preserves food by protecting it against bacteria that causes food to rot.

Modern food processing is based on killing these organic acids of fermentation by heating or pasteurization. In fact, government inspectors use the live enzyme count to condemn milk or foods. This opposes health in favor of shelf life.

They translate live food into money by killing it. What else would we expect them to do?

Fermenting Cabbage

I remember when my mother grew cabbage, cut it up, put it in a churn (heavily salted) and let it set outside to make sauerkraut. Interestingly, this was before the days of widespread stomach and intestinal problems that (you guessed it) magically turned into multibillion-dollar profits for the pharmaceutical companies and doctors.

Without good stomach bacteria and enzymes, of course we have widespread “acid indigestion,” which calls for the very huge trillion-dollar business of antacids. This leads straight to an epidemic of stomach cancer; Americans don’t have a clue about cause and effect. The antacid business is a pharmaceutical industry that feeds the cancer industry, which means billions of dollars more to the pharmaceutical companies for chemotherapy and radiation and to the doctors and hospitals for surgery. Follow the trail of the serpent.

Hard Truth

The hard truth is that the symptom of “acid indigestion” is really a warning that we don’t have enough acid. At the advice of the medical system, we load up on antacids and further lose our good stomach acid.

The alchemists can almost match the money printers at creating vast wealth out of nothing. It’s criminal, but it’s legal.

Fermented foods are pre-digested foods. They magically soothe and heal the stomach and provide more nutrients like B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids. Incidentally, men, fatty acid consumption equals prostate health.

Bill Douglass, M.D., (my doctor at one time) wrote in his Douglass Report of February 2010, “The lactic acid you get from fermented foods produces substances that can kill bacteria like salmonella and Helicobacter pylori.” To subscribe to Dr. Douglass’ Report, go here.

French Paradox

You may have heard of the “French Paradox.” The French people escape cancer and heart disease more often than Americans because they drink more wine. Of course, they must drink their own fermented wine without commercial processing.

There are fermented foods, drinks and additives available on the Internet. Just use Google to find them. Kombucha — an excellent drink — and non-pasteurized yogurt are two of my favorites. I eat the plain yogurt, sweetened with stevia for taste. There are fewer calories in plain versus flavored yogurt.

‘Acid Indigestion’

I personally had “acid indigestion” for many years, along with high blood pressure. I read about Bob Butts’ water and salt cure (for everything) and, after months of delay, decided to try it.

Mind you, doctors have a phobia against the mixture of salt and high blood pressure. I tried it with great reluctance thinking that it would probably kill me. Well, first I made my last will and testament. By now, I must have drunk many pounds of sea salt- not processed table salt. We need sea salt for its very important minerals.

I am still here and in better health with no blood pressure medication and without so-called “acid indigestion.” I put “acid indigestion” in quotes because it is a lie that the pharmaceutical companies have imposed on the public mind to extract money.

Well now, I emphatically do not recommend that you take sea salt if you have high blood pressure, even though I have told you the truth. I know full well how indelible this medical lie has been inscribed, stamped and engraved on our collective minds.

Butts is a totally honest, dedicated person who has spent a huge amount of his own money trying to get the word out that water and sea salt (1/4 teaspoon daily) will reverse most health concerns. So far, the medical establishment has not stopped him because his organization is 100 percent nonprofit.

He takes no money. He wants only to expose the medical fraud that is wrecking America.  His site is here.

The Incontinence Dilemma

While doing some research recently, I came across this statement in a mainstream health publication: “Incontinence is a problem that affects millions of people all over the world. In recent times, the adult diaper has emerged as one of the best solutions to this problem. This is a far better solution than many traditional remedies, such as a catheter or frequent clothing changes.”

While using an adult diaper can help save you from an embarrassing situation, wearing one does not solve the problem of urinary incontinence.

Some studies show that as many as one in three women over age 60 experience urinary incontinence. It stems from weakened muscles caused by childbirth, hormonal imbalances resulting from menopause and loss of muscle tone due to aging. For men, incontinence can be traced to prostate problems, low levels of testosterone and aging.

In the United States, as many as one in six suffer from incontinence. Those experiencing it suffer from an overactive bladder that can chain them to the bathroom or give them the unexpected surprise of a sudden wetting episode that occurs while laughing, exercising, coughing or sneezing. It’s certainly not pleasant, and wearing an adult diaper is not a solution.

Widespread Annoyance

Urinary incontinence falls into four categories:

1. Stress incontinence: Mostly affects women after childbirth or menopause, but occasionally men who have had prostate surgery. It manifests as a leak of urine when you exercise, laugh, cough, sneeze or lift a heavy object.
2. Urge incontinence: Affects people over age 60. This is what you have if you experience sudden, involuntary contractions that make you feel the need to urinate even if you just left the bathroom.
3. Mixed incontinence: This combination of a leaky bladder and the urge to urinate primarily affects women.
4. Overflow incontinence: A rarer form of incontinence that occurs if the bladder becomes too full due to an inability to completely empty it. This can affect a man with an enlarged prostate or someone who has suffered an injury, blockage or infection.

Pumpkin Patch

American Indians used pumpkin seeds to treat their urinary problems. But science has done them one better by creating a special blend of pumpkin seed extract that can help eliminate bladder problems. It’s called EFLA® 940 and it contains a complete spectrum of specialized pumpkin seed extract to give you the best nutrients from the whole seed.

Soy isoflavones are natural plant estrogens called phytoestrogens that can help the body naturally rebalance estrogen levels.

Researchers have found that a combination of pumpkin seed extract and soy isoflavones can inhibit the aromatase enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. Testosterone helps to maintain the strength of the pelvic floor muscles that help to hold urine. Plus, testosterone helps you relax those muscles allowing for complete emptying of the bladder.

By inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, your body has more available testosterone. This is key to maintaining the muscle tone of the urinary tract and ensuring complete voiding of the bladder.

Many natural supplement manufacturers sell products containing EFLA® 940. Look for it at health food stores and online.

Collapsible Medicine

I dare say that the medical establishment would collapse without the cancer industry. How does the medical establishment keep the game going? The answer is the pretense of research.

The key is to keep people asleep and hoping that, just around the corner, research will find the answer. The game is to ever search and never find. Why not, it’s been going on for more than 100 years.

Their bet is that enough cancer victims will go in as raw material to perpetuate the cancer industry. Your guarantee is unbelievable skyrocketing cost, pain and suffering many times before you certainly die.

I can hear it now as the cancer surgeon comes out of the operating room to meet with the family, saying, “We think we got it all.” I am sure that this lie is the most famous in all of modern medicine.

To “get it all,” they would have to cremate the cancer patient, because most of the time cancer is systemic (all over). What crass deception!

How many needless operations do you suppose are done on the basis of phony diagnosis or operations on terminal patients, thus only creating surgical fees and increasing the final suffering of the terminal patient?

But the game goes on, prescribed by the system as cut (operate), burn (radiation) or poison (chemotherapy). A doctor claiming to treat cancer with alternative methods can quickly go to jail.

Modern medicine tightly controls the public mind. It blacks out any serious alternative information. It’s a white-coat cult and the people bow in reverence. You know the syndrome: “My doctor said…”

Cancer Formation

Nicholas J. Gonzalez, M.D. and Linda L. Isaacs, M.D. have written an excellent book titled, The Trophoblast and the Origins of Cancer. Their research and the nutritional protocol they recommend is based on the great research and work of Dr. John Beard (1858-1924).

Dr. Beard discovered in his excellent research — that took place around 1900 — that:

“the trophoblast (pre-placenta state of the human fetus) does resemble a typical aggressive neoplasm (pre-cancer) in its general behavior and would seem to serve as an ideal model for the study of malignancy… Although the placenta is a normal tissue, the trophoblastic cells that come before the placenta share several common features with malignant cells. Their high cell proliferation, their lack of cell contact inhibition, their migratory and invasive properties as well as their capacity to escape effectors of the immune system in particular during the first trimester of pregnancy, have led to the definition of the trophoblast as a ‘pseudo-malignant’ type of tissue or as a ‘physiological metastasis’…”

In other words, what goes on in the formation of life is the ideal model for cancer.

The early syncytiotrophoblast (trophoblast) is highly invasive and aggressive tissue just exactly like cancer cells. The trophoblast pre-pregnancy and pre-life is cancer with the same aggressive potential, the same capacity for invasion, migration and angiogenesis (creation of its own blood supply), and is an ideal and exact model for cancer.

Who could have imagined that human life starts like cancer? And what puts a halt to these early cancer-like developments?

Well, there comes a critical period and precise time in the embryo’s life — some seven to eight weeks after conception — when the embryonic pancreas produces digestive enzymes. This is the key that signifies change in the trophoblast from a proliferating and invasive tissue like cancer cells, into the life-sustaining and well-behaved placenta.

Enzymatic Developments

We are talking about the introduction of two powerful digestive enzymes, trypsin and amylopsin. These are essential to start human life. Likewise, these same digestive enzymes are essential to control cancer malignancy as misplaced and uncontrolled trophoblasts try to develop from a vagrant germ cell.

Vagrant germ cells are asexual, and the pancreatic enzymes are responsible for their normal degeneration and suppression in both males and females. This is the now-open riddle for the cure to cancer. Cancer is caused by the lack of these pancreatic enzymes. Likewise, cancer may be cured by the introduction of these enzymes into the diet.

Dr. Gonzalez makes the strong case that oral pancreatic enzymes are sufficient to replace any deficit in his nutritional protocol. Non-invasive, wouldn’t we say? This is a far cry from the Satanic money-motivated cancer industry described above.

Millions Of Victims

Shame on us for our ignorance and negligence. I see millions of mangled and suffering bodies as byproducts of the cancer industry.

So here, described by Dr. Gonzalez, is the human life-beginning process mimicked by the life-destroying process in the form of cancer. The same pancreatic enzymes that trigger life also save life threatened by cancer.

If this were only a theory, I might be among the doubters. But all the biopsied, proven cancer cases — in many cases pronounced “terminal” by orthodox medicine — that were restored to normal health with the nutritional protocol of Dr. Gonzalez and Dr. William Donald Kelley leave no doubt. And with many restored cases came long life, as much as 20 years and more.

You can get the book The Trophoblast and the Origins of Cancer here. It costs about $50, but is worth $5,000 and maybe $5 million for someone who has cancer. Just the case histories at the back of the book are about as exciting as any life experience that one could imagine.

Why not begin a preventive regimen with Dr. Gonzalez’s nutritional protocol?

All the cartel can do is what it always does. It can create a synthetic extract, patent it and then proceed to outlaw all-natural D3, thus reversing all the good. The people will be left to wonder why the pharmaceutical D3 is no good, assuming they ever even discover it.

First Priority

Vitamin D3 may not be the absolute in alternative healthcare, but I believe the very first priority is to make doubly sure that our 25(OH)D (vitamin D3) levels are at the maximum.

“Documented toxicity has never been reported with 25(OH)D levels less than 200 ng/ml,” according to Vitamin D Newsletter from vitamindcouncil.org.

Most people are extremely low in D3, and low D3 is associated with many disease conditions. This is so prevalent that the first suspicion in pathology should be to check vitamin D3 levels. This has been hidden for 100 years, resulting in unbelievable health cost: disease and death.

One caveat: John Cannell, M.D., Executive Director of the Vitamin D Council, warns that the vitamin A in cod liver oil can neutralize vitamin D3.

From Swedish Researchers (not under the control of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration):

“The Karolinska Institute in Stockholm measured vitamin D levels on 117 adult psychiatric outpatients. They found that the ten adult patients with autism had the lowest 25(OH)D levels of any of the other groups, including the patients with schizophrenia and depression, an average of about 12 ng/ml, a level known to cause rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Even more interesting, they reported that some of the patients with depression and schizophrenia improved when treated with an average of about 4,000 IU of vitamin D per day.

“Mothers of autistic children have very low 25(OH)D3 levels.

“Dr. Elisbeth and colleagues from various institutions in Sweden measured vitamin D levels in mothers about six years after they had given birth to a child now diagnosed with autism. The Somali mothers had very low vitamin D levels, less than 10 ng/ml. The trend was in the direction of lower vitamin D levels for Somali mothers with autistic children, compared to Somali mothers without an autistic child.”

There is a story in the April 2010 issue of the Impossible Cure Newsletter about a film project by Blind Dog Films concerning the reversal of autistic symptoms with homeopathy.

Allopathic Avoidance

A warning: Chances are your friendly allopathic doctor thinks all this vitamin D3 and homeopathy is nonsense. This is the problem, because people are programmed to listen to their doctors.

Further regarding autistic children: Autistic children need aggressive doses of vitamin D3, at least 100 up to 150 ng/ml. This translates to 2,000 to 5,000 IU/day/25 pounds of body weight and more.

Loading doses are urgent in autistic children because autism is a progressive inflammatory brain disease.

Those who rely on sun exposure for their vitamin D3 should know that maximum effect is achieved when the sun is high enough in the sky so that your shadow is shorter than you are, and the more skin exposed the better. This is massive exposure, and vitamin D3 levels go up fast. But few people do this.

Dr. Cannell says that vitamin D has many co-factors and Americans are most likely deficient in magnesium, zinc, boron and vitamin K. He recommends seeds, nuts and green leafy vegetables for vitamin K.

Most days, I eat a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds for these nutrients. They are also excellent for the male prostate, as I discussed last week.

Uncomfortable Symptoms

The symptoms of BPH are classified as storage or incomplete voiding. This can be a progressive disease, especially if left untreated. Incomplete voiding results in stasis of bacteria in the bladder residue and increases your risk of urinary tract infection.

Urinary bladder stones are formed from the crystallization of salts in the residual urine.  Urinary retention, termed “acute” or “chronic,” is another form of progression.

Acute urinary retention is the inability to void. In chronic urinary retention the residual urinary volume gradually increases, and the bladder distends. Some men who suffer from chronic urinary retention may eventually progress to renal failure, a condition termed “obstructive uropathy.”

Familiarity

Most men over age 50 are familiar with BPH and its symptoms. In the United States a host of urologists who are specialists attend specifically to the prostate. Lack of alternative information drives men into the offices of prostate doctors when they experience symptoms of BPH which include swelling of the prostate gland (normally no larger than a hickory nut) leading to urinary hesitancy, frequent urination and dysuria (painful urination).

The symptoms alone cause anxiety in millions of men, but is further inflated by the overuse of the prostate specific antigen (PSA) test by conventional medicine.

Medical tests like this are a huge income-generating business for doctors, hospitals and labs. Everybody is tested many times over and over for everything, or for the slightest suspicion of a medical problem or the slightest imagination of a medical problem. It is so common and widespread that the general public confuses tests with treatment. It is assembly-line medicine and is mostly useless and misleading.

But there is a more subtle and more profitable agenda for the vast enterprise of medical tests. They lead the patient straight into more treatment and surgery. Pathology today in the United States is a test. The system thrives on tests.

Big Business

This represents big business for everybody, and hospitals require it for inpatients and outpatients. The hospital privileges of physicians depend on a steady flow of prescribed hospital tests.

Every man with prostate hypertrophy knows about the PSA test. This test scares men right into anxiety and worry and into the wrong decision about treatment.

The system uses PSA numbers, which are very arbitrary, to discipline men to make regular trips to the doctor for updates of their PSA tests. The procedure usually involves a digital exam and blood test. And if the doctor holds sway over the patient, a biopsy follows. This is the process that leads men to surgery, the way it is perfectly designed to do. And then straight downhill with prostate complications, not least of which is destruction of the male sex life.

Myth Of Infallibility

Remember, BPH tests produce arbitrary results and widely vary with the individual male, but they are vital to the income of medical professionals. They present the test as an infallible medical science.

BPH may show elevated PSA levels because of swelling of the prostate (increased organ volume) and inflammation due to urinary tract infections. I myself have had BPH for at least 25 years. After I had the regular rectal exam and blood test, the doctor said: “This is all you need.” Then he called me one day soon after and asked me to come in for a biopsy. I asked, “What for, did you find something?” He replied that I just needed to come back to his office for a prostate biopsy.

I dismissed it immediately and never went back. That was some 20 years ago. But what do you think that most men do? I can tell you. They wind up in surgery leading to a pattern of complications such as incontinence, infection and loss of sex life.

BPH, PSA notwithstanding, is not considered to be a premalignant lesion and should not scare men into foolish medical treatment.

Prevention

Preventive health care is essential to male prostate care. But preventive, alternative care is anathema to American medicine. After all, preventive care destroys and eliminates huge profits to the medical system. This is to say nothing of the suffering and death of tens of thousands of men.

I have not had prostate cancer in my family, which I think is primarily due to consistent preventive care. Preventive care costs so little in time and money compared to the risk of conventional medical treatment.

Start as early as age 25. There are many natural prostate formulas.  I like and use beta- sitosterol made from Hypoxis rooperi (African stargrass). I also use stinging nettle in the form of Palmettoplex and Cataplex F by Standard Process. I also eat pumpkin seeds daily, at least two tablespoons.

Of course, none of these non-prescriptions are approved by the FDA or any agency, but they are approved and used in Europe.

Invasive Therapy

Sometimes outpatient transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) kills excess tissue, shrinking the prostate and relieving the obstruction of the urethra and BPH symptoms.

I went to Germany for a similar procedure (not available in the United States) called transurethral radiowave thermotherapy. It was some seven years ago and was successful. Symptoms were greatly relieved. However, I have not been able to get the German clinic to respond lately.

I think that local outpatient procedures carry minimal risk. The goal is decreased prostate size, leading to significantly decreased nocturia, and improved urine stream with urinary bladder emptying. At the same time, this lessens the risk of infection.

Signs To Watch

Screening and diagnostic procedures for BPH are similar to those used for prostate cancer. Some signs to look for include:

• Weak urinary stream.
• Prolonged emptying of the bladder.
• Abdominal straining.
• Hesitancy.
• Irregular need to urinate.
• Incomplete bladder emptying.
• Post-urination dribble.
• Irritation during urination.
• Frequent urination.
• Nocturia (need to urinate during the night).
• Urgency.
• Incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine).
• Bladder pain.
• Dysuria (painful urination).
• Problems in ejaculation.

All of this information assumes the patient has no malignancy. Even if there is malignancy, the utmost care should be exercised in opting for conventional prostate surgery. Remember that whatever happens to a man getting treated, the medical people all get paid in full. So consider that their advice could be profit motivated.

Finally, you can greatly relieve your BPH symptoms if you stay away from caffeinated coffee. Coffee is a strong diuretic and compounds the symptoms of BPH.

Surgical Dangers

I have never had back pain, but many people do. All that I have ever heard is that the only way to find relief finally comes down to surgery. It seems that not only does this not help most of the time, it often results in permanent injury or disability.

But in the January 2010 issue of the health newsletter Real Cures by Dr. Frank Shallenberger, there is an excellent article about Prolozone entitled “Your Back Pain Gone — Permanently.”

I was skeptical at first, but he makes a good case. It’s alternative medicine and can do no harm and never hurts.

Says Dr. Shallenberger, about 70 percent of his back pain patients are completely cured. And the other 30 percent have substantial improvement. He uses medical grade ozone that stimulates the healing process. Once injected into the affected area, ozone causes a mild inflammatory reaction.

This ozone stimulation is called Prolozone. It is used to treat all types of pain: shoulder pain, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and back and neck pain.

No Comparison

There have been studies where cortisone or steroid injections have been compared to Prolozone. After six months, only 15 percent of the Prolozone group were still in pain, whereas 22.5 percent of those receiving steroid injections were still in pain. Patients with disc disease did even better, with only 8.6 percent still in pain vs. 21.4 percent of those receiving steroid injections.

Note that only one treatment in this study was done, because the repetitive use of steroids is dangerous. But not so with Prolozone.

Dr. Shallenberger also uses a pre-injection containing a special mixture of vitamins, minerals and homeopathics before he injects the ozone, which he thinks dramatically improves the results.

Natural Relief

Prolozone is simple, natural, inexpensive, safe and completely free of side effects.

Thyroid Primacy

I have written on the subject of the thyroid many times over the years for good reason:

1. Conventional medical folks pay little attention to thyroid function. Oh, they routinely run blood tests and report to the patient “normal thyroid.” But if the blood test shows that your thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is 3 or higher, action is needed. This may be a red flag to alert to problems that you are having — problems like heart disease or cancer.
2. The treatment of hypothyroidism is too simple and too cheap. Simple and natural medicine does not cost big bucks. Both doctors and pharmaceuticals these days require incomes of very large amounts, totally beyond reason. But as paper money depreciates toward worthlessness, there is never enough, and all sorts of imbalances occur. This is what we have referred to as the paper-money syndrome. Worthless currency distorts everything, even morality. Modern medicine rarely concerns itself with cause and effect. It is all about suppressing symptoms with drugs (toxic poisons). Low thyroid function can lead to metabolic changes that can raise cholesterol levels and gradually weaken the heart muscle and create heart disease.

 
Aha! What do doctors say is necessary? The patient has a high cholesterol problem and becomes wide open for a lifetime of statin drugs. This calls for perpetual tests and an ongoing income for the drug houses, when all that may be needed is correct diagnosis of thyroid function.

Critical Functions

Why is thyroid function so critical? The answer is that even a slightly underactive thyroid can be a causative factor of heart disease leading to a multitude of health problems and symptoms.

These symptoms include being overweight, having a slow heart rate, high blood pressure, heart failure, accelerated heart disease and a multitude of other health problems. This is potentially serious while at the same time simple, and it’s something that you can test for yourself. Don’t trust the doctors’ blood test.

Testing

The underarm basal temperature test, as taught by the late Dr. Broda Barnes, is very reliable and accurate. And best of all, it is a self-test. Here’s how you do it:

For five consecutive days, take your underarm temperature at rest. Have a shake-down mercury thermometer (or digital thermometer) on your night stand. This should be done for three minutes before getting out of bed because it has to be basal (at rest) temperature to be accurate.

After you take five readings over five consecutive days, determine the average. Divide the total of your five temperatures by five. If your average is as much as one degree under 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, you need thyroid therapy, to be confirmed by your alternative doctor with a prescription for Armour Thyroid.

Armour Thyroid is a natural product. Do not accept Synthroid or any other synthetic. Most conventional doctors prescribe Synthroid.

A sluggish thyroid is not on conventional medicine’s radar, but it is very important that you do the self-test or go to your alternative doctor. Your alternative doctor will start you out on a very small amount and increase it over months.

If you do have low body temperature, it likely means that you have low thyroid function or hypothyroidism. Even if your thyroid is just slightly underactive, it should be corrected for heart health in men and women.

Iodine

Natural or food-grade iodine in your diet is important in the production of thyroid hormone.  Since our soils are mostly depleted, daily iodine supplementation is needed.

There are several natural food sources of iodine. I take four to six drops of Lugol’s iodine in water almost daily. It is very safe. I buy Lugol’s iodine at Walgreens.

According to Dr. David Brownstein, iodine deficiency is a major cause of breast cancer and other diseases of the reproductive organs such as ovarian, uterus and prostate cysts and cancer.

Dr. Brownstein has excellent research on the seriousness of iodine deficiency in his book Iodine, Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It.
