Studies have shown that women with a high intake of flax oil and flax lignans are at much lower risk of developing breast cancer. Research is now documenting the benefits of flax oil, lignans, and flax meal in preventing and treating cancer in the gastrointestinal tract and colon, and breast cancer metastasis.

Recent studies and results

In a study published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology researchers noted that flax seed oil and flax seed meal are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Their objective was to investigate the feeding of flax seed oil and flax meal to groups of rats with induced precursors of colon cancer. These precursors form in the lining of the colon and rectum prior to the appearance of colorectal polyps.

The groups of rats were fed either a controlled diet alone, controlled diet plus soybean oil, controlled diet plus flax oil, or controlled diet plus flax meal. The rats were examined after 17 weeks. Those fed the flax seed oil and the flax seed meal showed reduced incidence of colon cancer precursor by 84% and 87.5% respectively. Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity rates were significantly higher in the rats fed flax seed oil and flax seed meal compared to those fed soybean oil. The enzymes in GST play a significant role in the detoxification of such substances as carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, and products of oxidative stress.

In the Journal of Nutrition and Cancer researchers note that fatty acid composition of dietary fat plays a vital role in colon tumor development in animal models. Fats containing omega-3 fatty acids, such as flax oil, and those containing omega-6 fats, such as corn oil, reduced chemically induced colon tumor development in rats. Lignans have also been shown to prevent colon tumor development in animal studies. These researchers investigated the effects of dietary flaxseed meal, a source of both omega-3 fatty acids and lignans, on colon tumor development and compared them with the effects of dietary corn meal.

One group of cancer induced rats ate a controlled diet supplemented with corn meal, while another ate the controlled diet supplemented with flaxseed meal. After 35 weeks, the gastrointestinal tract was isolated, and the site, size, and number of tumors were recorded and the tumors were evaluated. Tumor incidence in the corn meal group was 82.6% vs. 29.4% in the flax meal group. Tumor multiplicity was 1.3 for the corn meal group vs. 0.3 for the flax meal group. And tumor size was 44.4 mm for the corn meal group vs. 5.3 mm for the flax meal group. Researchers attributed these amazing statistics to the increased omega-3 fatty acids levels ingested by the flax meal group.

A third study, from the International Journal of Cancer reports that previous studies have shown dietary flax seed was able to reduce the growth and metastasis of human estrogen receptor negative breast cancer in mice. Researchers for this study sought to determine whether the tumor inhibitory effect of flaxseed was due to its oil, lignan secoisolariciresinol diglycoside (SDG), or both, and whether the effect on tumor growth was related to increased oxidative degradation of lipids.

Rats were injected with estrogen receptor negative breast cancer cells and after 8 weeks were fed either the basal diet, or basal diet supplemented with flax seeds, SDG, flax oil, or a combination.

Compared to the basal diet group, the tumors in all supplemented groups showed decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptosis. These results did not significantly relate to lipid peroxidation. Lung metastasis incidence was reduced by 16 to 70 percent by all treatments, and most significantly in the flax seed, SDG, and flax oil groups. Distant lymph node metastasis was significantly decreased (52%) only in the flax oil group. Total metastasis incidence was lowered significantly (42%) only in the SDG plus flax oil group.

What these studies may mean for you

The studies show both flax oil and flax meal to be highly effective against cancers of the gastrointestinal tract and colon. Flax oil was clearly the most effective at preventing lymph node metastasis, while the impact on total body metastasis was greatest when SDG, the active compound from lignans, was included with flax oil.

It is the omega-3 fatty acids in flax that are the active agents producing these results. Omega-3 fatty acids are electron rich, and are able to enter the cells to provide them with the electrical energy needed for the healthy completion of cellular processes.

Our bodies produce over 500 million new cells daily. When these cells divide, the old cell and the new cell must contain enough electron rich fatty acids to divide off completely from each other. When this process is not completed due to a lack of electron rich highly unsaturated fat, the course of growth and division is altered and the maturing and shedding process is never fully completed. This may lead to the formation of tumors.

Unless you frequently eat omega-3 rich foods such as salmon or walnuts, supplementing your diet with lignan rich flax oil may be one of the best choices for your health that you ever make.

Using flax oil

Flax oil is highly unstable and begins to oxidize quickly after processing. If you are going to use flax oil, you will want only the freshest, best quality organic oil. Fresh flax oil has a nutty taste that is good. Although results from study number three indicate that even when the oil has oxidized it will still do its job in the body, most health experts say that any oil that does not taste good is oil you should not use. Any trace of bitterness means the oil is oxidizing.

Most flax oil on the market is rancid to some degree, particularly the capsules. Taste one and you will be appalled. The maker of the capsules is counting on you swallowing them whole and never tasting the rancid oil that is in them. Oil that is bought from a drugstore, supermarket, or discount center is usually quite oxidized and bitter. Even house brands from online supplement stores are usually oxidized. Just because it's organic doesn't mean it isn't rancid.

There are two brands which produce organic flax oil that is usually fresh and good-tasting. These are Spectrum and Barleans. Spectrum is the more consistent of the two brands. These oils are available at health food stores, and grocery stores that cater to the health conscious. They are sold in the refrigerator section, and should be refrigerated again immediately after purchase.

If you do not have access to these oils where you live, they can be ordered from the online supplement stores. When it's relatively cold outside, the oil can be shipped to you without a problem. In the warm months or if you live in a place where it is warm all year, you will need to have them shipped in a cold pack. Not all online stores offer cold packs, but several do.

Taste the oil when you bring it home or have it delivered. If it does not taste fresh and good, if you detect bitterness, return it or call the online store and ask for a refund. Retailers seem to be quite used to people returning rancid flax oil, and they will give you a refund or replacement.

The amount of oil you need per day to keep yourself healthy is one tablespoon for each 100 pounds of body weight. If you have had cancer and are trying to prevent a recurrence you may want to double that amount. If you are actively fighting cancer or other serious disease, you will need to take the oil throughout the day, building up to an amount of 8 ounces or more as you are able to tolerate it.

Never heat flax oil. Always shake the bottle before using.

Using flax lignans

Spectrum and Barleans as well as others produce flax oil with lignans added. They usually settle to the bottom requiring you to give the bottle a hard shaking every time you use it.

If you don't want to take flax oil with lignans but want to get the benefits of lignans, you can get one of the capsule forms on the market containing SDG. The best known of these is Brevail, made by the Barleans company. There are others that are equally as effective.

With my twenty years of extensive research in disease pathology, I have discovered there are five conditions that cause poor health. The first three only account for approximately 5% of all the health problems that plague America. They are:

 1.  Hereditary weakness of genes (genetic predispositions)
  2.  Congenital deformity
  3.  Permanent organ injury

 The other two, or remaining 95%, that are the direct cause of all of mankind’s disease and suffering arises from Cellular Toxicities and Nutritional Deficiencies over which the principles of a healthy diet and lifestyle play a tremendous part. These two conditions are the primary result of an impoverished diet, inverted way of living, continuous exposures to toxic air and environmental contaminants, food and beverage contaminants, an overabundance of toxic chemicals absorbed through the skin from things such as chlorine, fluoride, water contaminants, and from the unlimited and unseen toxins found in many soaps, shampoos, deodorants, cosmetics, and household cleaners. These two conditions never occur separately, they always occur together in combination.

 As cellular contamination and nutritional deficiencies progress, they place the cells, tissues, organs, systems, and eventually the entire body into a state of stress, disorder, or Dis -Ease.  As explained in my previous article What In The Cell Is Going On?, when the cells malfunction and cannot perform their tasks, organ malfunction eventually occurs with a resulting cascading system malfunction.

 This sub-par congestive health condition is what I refer to as the “Medical Twilight Zone” where the patient is neither healthy nor in a state of severe chronic illness. They are somewhere in between where they have fallen into the cracks of one of the estimated 10,001 categorized disease labels and are well on their way to a life-threatening illness.

 In a full array of lab assays conducted by a medical doctor entailing such things as MRI’s, CT Scanning, Immune profiles, blood pathology, and hormonal assessments, the patient will most likely show no signs of abnormality because none of these tests have established parameters for measuring early decline of health, nor can they detect cellular toxicities and nutritional deficiencies.  Consequently, the patient will either be blamed for getting older, given a clean bill of health, be labeled by their doctor as psychosomatic or hypochondriac, or worse – be given palliative symptom suppressive pharmaceutical relief agents which will only shove the disease deeper with the patient unaware of the fact that they’re getting sicker because the drugs only mask their symptom(s) but do nothing to treat the real cause of their problem.

 There are over 40 abnormal Dis-Eases that won’t register on blood tests, urinalysis, PET Scan, X-ray, computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).  This doesn’t include the unseen emotional toxins such as anger, bitterness, stress, anxiety, unforgiveness, etc. that eventually lead to physical illness and can never be detected through means of medical diagnostic equipment.  Unfortunately, laboratory tests are only calibrated and limited to detecting chronic, severe crisis situations where it’s often too late to take preventative measures.  Their advanced equipment can easily detect liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, strokes, kidney failure, heart attacks, rheumatoid arthritis, metastasized cancers, etc., but not the medical twilight zone of Dis–Ease caused by cellular toxicities and nutritional deficiencies.

If you have toxic residues accumulating in the intestines, liver, blood, tissue, and cells and nutritional building elements are not able to penetrate the cell membrane to regenerate the cells and remove metabolic waste, then metabolic efficiency, energy and hormone/neurotransmitter synthesis is greatly reduced which will manifest symptoms of extreme lethargy, muscle weakness, gastric distention, aches and pains, depression, and memory and concentration problems.  These symptoms are God’s intelligence to warn us of a deeper cellular malfunction.  Remember; only after massive numbers of cells malfunction or die do you begin to notice symptoms of disease.  In other words, you’re already sick before you get sick.

 Allopathic physicians are taught that if you can’t see it in an x-ray or detect it through lab assays, if you can’t hear it in a stethoscope, or if you can’t feel it in a palpitation, it’s not there, even though the patient’s whole body is in a state of stress or Dis-Ease.  Since medical students are not taught the subject of toxicology and the dangers of accumulated toxins that cause free radical damage to the cells or the necessities of nutrition to establish and maintain health, the entire sick-care industry can keep disease in the medical twilight zone, where no cures can be discovered and a medical monopoly of risky surgeries and lethal pharmaceuticals can go on, with these companies profiting hundreds of billions of dollars each year.

 It is estimated that over 75% of all office visits to medical doctors are in the medical twilight zone category of neurological disorders, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, gastric disorders, immune-suppression, mental and auto-immune disorders, skin disorders, and acute bacterial, fungal and viral infections that are all caused by two things – cellular toxicity and nutritional deficiency.  The medical profession addresses neither, yet continues to thrive.

 Typical of such twilight zone disorders are symptoms of headaches, dizziness, nervousness, severe fatigue, flatulence, constipation, diarrhea, insomnia, brain fog, joint aches, and a lost feeling of well-being, which are intelligent warning signals of a healing crisis.  These symptoms are the cells’ cry or scream to the brain to warn you of a cellular malfunction in a certain organ or system.

 These subjective symptoms cannot be revealed by laboratory analysis until they have reached chronic degenerative proportions or metabolic disease states, nor can palliative pharmaceutical agents treat them because these symptoms are indicative of nutritional deficiencies coupled with toxic cellular accumulation.  Pharmaceutical agents do nothing to remove toxic residues in and around the cells nor fix nutritional deficiencies.  In fact, they add more toxins and rob more nutrients from the body.  Only natural, non-toxic treatment protocols can reverse the illness.

 All medical twilight zone Dis-Eases are endogenous and are the body’s built in intrinsic wisdom instituted as a response to a healing crisis; a purging of toxins to prevent the chronic disease from settling in.  These built in body-instituted symptoms of runny nose, mucous discharge, sweating, diarrhea etc. are misinterpreted as disease, when in reality they are the body’s effort to eliminate toxins or decaying morbid waste through the elimination pathways via skin, colon, urine or respiration.

 To the medical establishment – fever, diarrhea, mucous secretions, coughing, nasal drippage and excessive perspiring are looked at as unnecessary nuisances to attack or suppress when in fact they are intelligent purging mechanisms to expel toxic debris from the blood and tissues that have overloaded the elimination and detoxification pathways.  In their ignorance, medical doctors are drugging the symptoms of toxicities and nutritional deficiencies at the cell level, or surgically removing organs based on these two conditions.  If they only knew that once the toxic waste residue is excreted, the cells would be allowed to absorb oxygen and intelligent nutrients again, and the body’s organs and systems would self-heal and return to homeostasis, or balance and order.

 The Seven Stages of Disease Progression

 In order to better understand the disease process, it’s important to understand how it progresses in various stages beginning with mild symptoms and ending in a full-blown crisis. There are actually seven stages of disease progression, which are really just symptoms of intelligent body-instituted healing. They are:

  1.  Enervation
  2.  Intoxication
  3.  Irritation
  4.  Inflammation
  5.  Induration
  6.  Ulceration
  7.  Fungation

 1. ENERVATION (ENERVATE): To deprive of nerve, energy, vital force or strength; physical, mental, or moral weakness. Devitalize, and/or weaken.

 The first stage of disease progression is Enervation and it can be caused by overeating, drinking too much alcohol, worry, overindulgence of congestive, devitalized, refined, processed foods and lifeless, contaminated, carbonated beverages, excessive sugar intake, salt, coffee, tap water, drugs, polluted air, lack of sleep, stress, and stimulants. The result: overall weakness, depression, and reduced vital energy or strength.

 2. INTOXICATION: The state of being poisoned by a drug or other substance.

The second stage of degeneration is intoxication resulting from the abusive acts of stage 1 that slows the body’s ability through time to eliminate poisons by clogging the detoxification organs and filtration systems specific to intestines, liver, kidneys, skin, blood circulation and lymphatic flow.

 Our vital energy is always divided between digestion, assimilation, stimulation and elimination. As more energy is diverted to digest the poisons listed in stage 1, and as artificial stimulants from coffee, alcohol, sugar, tobacco, inorganic substances, and toxic by-products are taken in to try and compensate for the loss of energy, cellular energy capacity drastically declines. This leaves the body intoxicated, sluggish and weakened.  Continued enervation and intoxication leads to a susceptible crisis named Dis-Ease.

 3. IRRITATION: The bringing of a bodily part or organ to an abnormally excited or sensitive condition.

The third stage of disease progression is due to an excess of acid forming foods and beverages (i.e. sugar, fried foods, coffee, carbonated beverages, alcohol, red meat, antibiotics, etc.), which results in the body fluid condition developing into acid pH.  This condition depletes alkaline reserves and over time irritates tissue lining due to the acid wastes.  Irritation symptoms can manifest as sinusitis, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, nephritis, hepatitis, meningitis, appendicitis, nephritis, etc. which all cause swelling and inflammation.

 Normal healthy alkaline/acid ratio of the blood is approximately 80% alkaline and 20% acidic. Most people are 80% acid and 20% alkaline.  To neutralize acidic residues formed in the bloodstream the body pulls alkalizing buffering elements such as calcium and magnesium from the teeth, bones, liver and so on, to neutralize deadly acids and preserve life. Over time, osteoporosis and periodontal disease can result. When the body is too alkaline, it will result in gall bladder stress.  Normal blood homeostasis is 7.35 to 7.45 pH and urine pH should be anywhere from 6.5 to 6.8.  The body’s adaptation response to fight for homeostasis to maintain 7.35 to 7.45 pH is alkaline predominance in the blood.

 4. INFLAMMATION: The response of the tissues in the body to irritation or injury.  Inflammation may be acute or chronic.  Its chief signs are redness, heat, swelling, and pain, accompanied by loss of function.

The fourth stage of disease progression triggers the onset of inflammation, indicative of accumulated pustulence (dried blood) and thick mucous in and around the organs, joints, and cells of the body triggering an immune response condition.  The immune system responds to the toxemic condition by spilling histamines, cytokines and other inflammatory substances in the fight to clean up the congestive toxicosis.  Inflammation is also brought on by stone-like formations in joints, kidneys, and gall bladder, which consist of trapped inorganic substances from impure food, beverages, drugs, etc.  At this point the body’s filtration organs are unable to expel the accumulated, hardened waste material by the weakened enervated body. Allergies and immuno-suppression is the result.  A so-called allergy is nothing more than the irritation of an already chronically inflamed nasal passage or lung tissue from a pronounced toxemic condition. Toxemia is the basic cause of all inflammation including the intestinal lining and the epithelial lining in the lungs. This stage of inflammation is characterized by heat, redness, swelling, and pain.

 5. INDURATION: Hardening of a tissue, particularly the skin, because of excess fluid retention, inflammation, or growth of a tumor.

The fifth stage of degeneration is when a gradual thickening (hardening) of the mucous and sub-mucosal tissues manifests, due to the causes of continued inflammation un-removed or un-resolved by detoxification methods.  The increased levels of hardening due to solidifying compounds of hydrogenated fats, saturated fats, LDL cholesterol, chlorine, calcium, iron, and other inorganic minerals, chokes arterial circulation, cutting off oxygen (hypoxia) and inhibiting nutrient flow to the cells, giving rise to cell apoptosis (programmed cell death), open sores, or ulcers. Symptoms of indurations include hardening of the arteries, skin eruptions, pustulence, cataracts, cysts, polyps, liver spots, kidney stones, callused feet, calcium spurs and gall stones.

 6. ULCERATION:  A craterlike skin or mucous membrane lesion.  A sore open either to the surface of the body or to a natural cavity, and accompanied by the disintegration of tissue, the formation of pus, etc.

The sixth stage of disease progression is an active degeneration from cell apoplexy (paralysis of circulatory functions of blood and lymph due to tissue and arterial hardening). Ulceration can manifest as a stress ulcer, a stasis ulcer, a trophic ulcer, a peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis, etc. Instead of normal toxin elimination – excretion of dried blood and toxic laden mucous (pus) erupts from open wounds, boils, fistulas, internal ulcers, or is discharged from the eyes, ears, nose, vagina or other body cavities such as canker associated with AIDS and herpes simplex. Another symptom of ulceration is adrenal exhaustion from a highly toxic condition and adrenal stress.

 7. FUNGATION: Excessive overgrowth of fungi in the blood and tissues.

The last and final stage of degeneration is fungation.  It is known better as an overgrowth of fungus in the body and can consist of molds, mildew, yeasts (candidiasis), and cancer.  There are more than a thousand toxins produced by yeast, fungus, and mold, and their wastes contribute directly or indirectly to a huge number of symptoms.   In this final stage there is a cellular disorder from repeated free radical hits on the genetic material, damaging DNA during replication, transcription, and translation of the new cell generation.  This inevitably leads to cell proliferation and cell mutation of tissue growth to a morbid state. It is the final stage in which cells no longer renew themselves and form cancerous mutations.  Doing a live blood analysis with a high-powered microscope will easily detect yeast, fungus, mold and cancer cells.

All seven progressive stages of disease are nothing more than the body’s effort to return to balance and order (homeostasis) by attempting to purge itself of the unwanted toxins that are poisoning it.  The symptoms of this triggered healing crisis are what medical science calls disease.

Health and life insurance companies have access to a powerful new tool for evaluating whether to cover individual consumers: a health "credit report" drawn from databases containing prescription drug records on more than 200 million Americans.

Collecting and analyzing personal health information in commercial databases is a fledgling industry, but one poised to take off as the nation enters the age of electronic medical records. While lawmakers debate how best to oversee the shift to computerized records, some insurers have already begun testing systems that tap into not only prescription drug information, but also data about patients held by clinical and pathological laboratories.

Traditionally, insurance companies have judged an applicant's risk by gathering medical records from physicians' offices. But the new tools offer the advantage of being "electronic, fast and cheap," said Mark Franzen, managing director of Milliman IntelliScript, which provides consumers' personal drug profiles to insurers.

The trend holds promise for improved health care and cost savings, but privacy and consumer advocates fear it is taking place largely outside the scrutiny of federal health regulators and lawmakers.

Ingenix, a Minnesota-based health information services company that had $1.3 billion in sales last year — and Wisconsin-based rival Milliman — say the drug profiles are an accurate, less expensive alternative to seeking physician records, which can take months and hundreds of dollars to obtain. They note that consumers authorize the data release and that the services can save insurance companies millions of dollars and benefit consumers anxious for a decision.

"Some insurers can make a decision in the same day, or right on the spot," Franzen said. "That's the real 'value-add.' "

But the practice also illustrates how electronic data gathered for one purpose can be used and marketed for another — often without consumers' knowledge, privacy advocates say. And they argue that although consumers sign consent forms, they effectively have to authorize the data release if they want insurance.

"As health care moves into the digital age, there are more and more companies holding vast amounts of patients' health information," said Joy Pritts, research professor at Georgetown University's Health Policy Institute. "Most people don't even know these organizations exist. Unfortunately the federal health privacy rule does not cover many of them. . . . The lack of transparency with how all of this works is disturbing."

Ingenix and Milliman create the profiles by plumbing rich databases of prescription drug histories kept by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), which help insurers process drug claims. Ingenix, for instance, has servers in the PBM data centers, updating the drug files as frequently as once a day, said John Stenson, senior vice president of consulting for Ingenix, which is a division of UnitedHealth Group. The corporation also owns UnitedHealthcare, the nation's second-largest insurer.

When an insurer makes an online query about an applicant, Ingenix or Milliman's servers scour the data and within minutes or less return reports to a central server at the company. The server aggregates the information going back as far as five years, including the drugs and dosages prescribed, dates filled and refilled, the therapeutic class and the name and address of the prescribing doctor.

Then comes the analysis.

Ingenix's MedPoint tool provides insurers a "pharmacy risk score," or a number that represents an "expected risk" for a group of people, such as 30- to 35-year-old women who have taken prescription drugs, Stenson said. Higher scores imply higher medical costs.

Milliman's IntelliScript codes drugs red, yellow or green, according to the insurer's instructions, with red signaling the greatest risk, Franzen said. Red codes could include the so-called AIDS cocktail drugs and cancer medications, he said.

The companies receive data only on individuals who are in clients in PBMs' databases, generally excluding, say, people who pay for drugs in cash. The profiles cost insurers about $15 a search. IntelliScript gets about 1 million queries from insurers a year, largely individual health insurers.

The system can save money for insurers, said Richard Dick, an entrepreneur who built the database system that Ingenix acquired in 2002.

For instance, if MedPoint produces a report that an individual has been on the highest dose of the cholesterol-reducing drug Zocor for 18 monts, the insurer "would be able to know that you have a very high, near-intractable cholesterol problem," Dick said, and could avoid a costly blood test.

From a business standpoint, it makes no sense for an insurer to sell a plan with a $200 monthly premium if the company knows that the consumer is taking medications that cost $400 every six months, industry experts said. That is why having access to an "objective" source of third-party information is valuable, said Tia Goss Sawhney, a Chicago area health insurance actuary who has used both companies' tools. "Though most people tell the truth most of the time, there are people out there who don't, who leave out something that's incredibly relevant, who may even be able to defraud a company," she said. "That's important because ultimately the people who tell the truth have to pay for those who don't."

Franzen, whose firm expects revenue of $575 million this year, said his clients tell him that about 10 percent of applicants do not disclose pertinent medical conditions in their applications that are later revealed by prescription drug history.

Some health experts worry that insurance companies can make faulty assumptions by looking at prescription drug records, because many drugs have multiple uses. "I had a patient on Amitriptyline for migraines and they were denied life insurance because it's also an antidepressant," said physician Kate Atkinson of Amherst, Mass. "I had to explain it wasn't being used for depression." Another patient was on Prozac — not for depression, but for menopausal hot flashes. "I wrote an appeal letter, and they still wouldn't give it to her," Atkinson said.

Services such as MedPoint are just "one of many tools" underwriters use to make coverage decisions, said Tyler Mason, a spokesman for UnitedHealthcare, which uses MedPoint. A high-risk score on a profile will often lead to requests for more information from the applicant, he said.

Ingenix and Milliman officials stress that they provide data only with the patient's consent, as required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), a 1996 law that governs personal health records information. But HIPAA does not give the Department of Health and Human Services the ability to directly investigate or hold accountable entities, such as pharmacy benefit managers or companies such as Ingenix and Milliman, who are not covered by HIPAA.

A health privacy proposal pending in Congress would expand federal officials' ability to regulate such "downstream" organizations, audit their activities and impose civil fines. The bill also includes a prohibition on the sale of electronic medical records.

Tim Sparapani, senior legislative counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union, said that the products that Ingenix and Milliman are marketing represent the "commodification" of electronic medical records by third parties. "We've got to stop these practices before the marketplace is fully developed and patients lose all control over their medical information," he said.

The field is growing rapidly. Realtime Solutions Group, a company in Woodridge, Ill., is testing whether lab data can be aggregated with prescription and other data for underwriting purposes. The firm is working with two major commercial labs and three large insurers, using thousands of real applicants. Initial results are promising enough that the company plans to proceed to the data-analysis stage, company co-founder Tedd Determan said.

"A lot of insurance companies are starting to use this type of data," said Determan, who co-founded IntelRx, a company that mined prescription databases and was sold to Milliman in 2005. "They said, 'All right. Prescription data is working, let's go and look at other types of data, too.' It's because of the success of one, that we're going after others."

In February, the Federal Trade Commission issued an order saying that MedPoint and IntelliScript are consumer reports under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, so the companies must notify insurers that consumers denied insurance on the basis of these reports have the right to request a copy of the report and that errors be corrected. The FTC's order followed a settlement of allegations that the companies violated the credit-reporting law by failing to provide such notice to insurers.

Bob Gellman, an independent privacy consultant in Washington, said the FTC's decision not to fine the companies sends "the message that it is okay to ignore the law." That, he said, "is absolutely outrageous."

As more health records become electronic, he said, more parties will compete to sell more comprehensive patient data to insurers, driving down data prices. "It will all likely be lawful," Gellman said, "but consumers will likely continue to have no real meaningful choices if they want insurance."

Dick, who conceived the idea of linking the pharmacy databases for underwriting purposes a decade ago, said the pharmacy benefit managers understood the system's privacy implications. He said their attitude seemed one of, " 'Ooh, this is a 60 Minutes' story in the making.' Generally, they wanted to make it a super-secret database, restricted to underwriting."

But now, he said, "there's a huge case for it being opened up for all legitimate access," whether for a patient in an emergency room or for federal government purposes. The key, he said, is full transparency.

He said he has created a privacy tool that requires users to consent before specific data, such as prescription histories, can be released. To work, he said, the tool must be independent of all who hold the data.

"Otherwise," he said, "you have the fox in charge of the henhouse."

New research focusing on a relatively obscure, misunderstood protein suggests mercury’s link to heart disease can be traced to activation of this enzyme, which triggers a process leading to plaque buildup in blood vessel walls.

The study examined three forms of mercury, matching its characteristics in the environment. Each form of mercury caused changes in the behavior of cells that line the blood vessel walls and that can lead to cardiovascular diseases.

The study also suggests that chelation therapy, a process that removes metals from the body, and antioxidants both show signs of suppressing this activity and might be key to reducing the damage caused by mercury, and possibly other heavy metals.

The research was published in a recent issue of the International Journal of Toxicology.

“Mercury has been implicated as a risk factor in cardiovascular disease because of environmental concerns both from contamination and the atmosphere. But no one has looked at heavy metal regulation of this enzyme,” said Narasimham Parinandi, director of the lipidomics and lipid signaling laboratory at Ohio State University Medical Center and senior author of the study. “If we understand this regulation and know how to block it, we can come up with proper ways to prevent the activity.”

Parinandi and colleagues focused on activation of an enzyme called phospholipase D, or PLD, in cells that line arteries in the lung. They exposed the cells to the inorganic, environmental and pharmaceutical forms of mercury, and observed that all three forms activated the enzyme.

The activation of the enzyme involves a complex sequence of events in the cell membranes that in turn releases phosphatidic acid, which can damage cells in the vessel lining – called endothelial cells – and is believed to contribute to vascular disorders.

To further test the enzyme’s role in blood vessel lining damage, the scientists then showed that metal chelators and antioxidants lessen the mercury-induced activation of the enzyme in endothelial cells. This portion of the study showed that different types of mercury affect the cells in different ways.

In the three forms of mercury – methylmercury chloride, (environmental form), thimerosal (pharmaceutical form) and mercuric chloride (inorganic form) – the enzyme activation was prevented by metal chelators, which are organic chemicals that bind with and remove free metal ions from substances.

The power of methylmercury chloride to activate the enzyme was also affected by antioxidants, including vitamin C, suggesting that this form of the metal generates free radicals. This is the form of mercury most closely associated with the food supply.

“Chelators overall did a better job than antioxidants at protecting against mercury activation of the enzyme,” said Thomas Hagele, first author of the study and an undergraduate researcher in Parinandi’s lab. “This shows that activation of the enzyme is not isolated to one location in the cell. Since we can protect against the enzyme activation with both chelators and antioxidants, that means a few different types of activation are likely to occur, depending on the toxin.”

This research is not just about mercury, noted Parinandi, also an assistant professor of pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine. Mercury in this case acts as a model for other toxins that have similar effects on blood vessel walls, pointing to what happens in the body when toxic substances are a factor in causing diseases.

This research was supported by the National Institutes of Health.

Other Ohio State coauthors of the study are students Jessica Mazerik, Anita Gregory and Bruce Kaufman; Drs. Ulysses Magalang and Clay Marsh of pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine; and Periannan Kuppusamy and M. Lakshmi Kuppusamy of the Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute.

(NaturalNews) To anyone keeping count, the number of high-profile personalities and celebrities dying while under the care of conventional doctors and oncologists is truly staggering.

Some of the more notable deaths in recent memory include actor Heath Ledger's death following the consumption of doctor-prescribed medications, CNBC anchor Tim Russert's death while on cardiovascular medications, and even Anna Nicole Smith's death caused by a lethal combination of FDA-approved prescription medications.

Now, former White House press secretary Tony Snow has died at the young age of 53 following chemotherapy treatment for colon cancer. For reasons we will never know, Tony Snow chose the chemotherapy route in an attempt to treat his colon cancer, subjecting his body to systemic poisons that all the evidence shows produce absolutely no improvement in the five-year survival rate of colon cancer patients. And depending on the type of tumor, chemotherapy can actually accelerate the death of patients, killing them far more quickly than if they had done nothing(1).

As usual, the mainstream media is reporting that Tony Snow "died from cancer," refusing to even consider the possibility that it was the highly-toxic chemotherapy treatment that actually ended his life. I find it fascinating that the media remains unable to consider the possibility that people are killed by chemotherapy, especially when iatrogenic deaths (physician-caused fatalities) now top 780,000 Americans each year (2).

Sadly, Mr. Snow was apparently unaware that colon cancer is rather easily cured with plant-based medicines. By avoiding toxic chemicals, animal products and dangerous prescription medications while switching to a nutrient-dense diet of raw, living green juices from fresh vegetables, virtually anyone can reverse colon cancer (unless, of course, they've already gone through chemotherapy, which causes permanent damage to their immune system).

Fresh vegetable juices are absolutely loaded with anti-cancer phytonutrients: Broccoli, cabbage, kale, spinach, celery and even citrus fruits and berries have such powerful anti-cancer properties that Big Pharma's highly toxic chemicals, by comparison, don't even compare (www.NaturalNews.com/anti-cancer_foods.html). Had Tony Snow adopted a raw, vegan diet and engaged in high-volume vegetable juicing immediately upon learning of his colon cancer diagnosis, I have no doubt he would still be alive today.

At the very least, his chances of survival would have dramatically improved. And if he had combined those dietary changes with high-dose vitamin D intake ((http://www.naturalnews.com/np/C/Cancer-…), and the consumption of powerful anti-cancer herbs like Reishi mushroom ((http://www.naturalnews.com/np/C/Cancer-…) or Cat's Claw (http://www.naturalnews.com/np/cats_claw.html), his chance of a complete recovery could have been very high, indeed.

Then again, it's hard to imagine someone who defended the Bush Administration actually embracing Mother Nature. Perhaps Tony Snow died the same way he lived: Steeped in lies and deception, fronting for a gang of criminals who brought death, suffering, fear and tyranny to an entire nation.

That Tony Snow would die of poison is a cruel metaphor for a man who used his own words as poison, implanting misinformation in the minds of media consumers while his bosses waged war against reason and truth (on topics like global warming, the invasion of Iraq, the Bill of Rights and many others).

I wish Tony Snow had embraced Mother Nature, cured his cancer, awakened to the real world and gone on to write a scathing book about the dark secrets of the Bush Administration. But instead, he is now dead, having maintained his loyalty to Big Pharma just as the Bush Administration has… even, perhaps, to his own death.

You reap what you sow, folks. Karma happens. And when you put your faith in Big Pharma's poisons, you are taking great risks with your own life. Tony Snow will certainly not be the last person to die following toxic chemotherapy treatments, but he is perhaps one of the best examples of what happens when you live a life steeped in poison.

In related news, the president of the AMA was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He, too, has chosen to undergo toxic chemotherapy treatment, meaning he will in all likelihood share Tony Snow's fate. Chemotherapy kills so many people that in any reasonable society, it would have been outlawed long ago — like mercury treatments, radiation pills for energy and other forms of quackery that have since been abandoned.

Chemotherapy is quackery, too, and those who choose to poison their own bodies with extremely toxic synthetic chemicals are blindly following nothing more than the lies and deceptions of the cancer industry (which preys upon consumers, invoking fear to convert human beings into corporate profits).

People who die from chemotherapy are, in fact, collectively winning the Darwin Award. To poison your own body with dangerous chemicals isn't "medicine" or "treatment." It's not courageous or considered. It's just plain stupid. As is most of modern medicine.

Stabbing your eye with a fork is stupid. X-raying your feet to see if your shoes fit is stupid. Drinking mercury to cure "evil spirits" is stupid. And shooting up your veins with extremely toxic chemicals is stupid, too. Oncologists can wear the costumes of doctors; they can speak a high-brow-sounding language of technical jargon; they can even be licensed by the State; but in the end, they are just as stupid as a guy who bungie jumps off a bridge with cord wrapped around his neck. (Bungie jumping has far fewer fatalities than chemotherapy, by the way…)

In Tony Snow's case, the media is gushing all over itself to sing the praises of this person merely for the fact that he expired. What kind of accomplishment is that? Anybody can die. This is not an extraordinary act, especially if the best years of your life were spent promoting an evil regime. Although I wish Tony Snow's soul well in realms beyond this one, let's make no mistake about what he was here: A front man for a criminal White House that has murdered millions in the Middle East, that has unleashed weapons of mass destruction (depleted uranium) in foreign lands, that has mortgaged the financial future of Americans by driving our nation into an economic crisis, and that has habitually lied to the People on almost every point that matters: Protecting the environment, WMDs, going to war, 9/11 and much more.

In choosing to defend and promote this criminal administration, Tony Snow should earn absolutely no respect from any person interested in truth, justice, freedom and compassion for fellow human beings.

It's silly to honor someone just because they've died. What matters is what they did when they lived. Would you honor Hitler at his grave? Of course not. People like Hitler deserve condemnation long after they've passed away. So what about Hitler press secretary? Does that person deserve honor upon passing, or is scorn more appropriate?

I believe that enablers of dangerous criminals are, themselves, guilty for their own roles in promoting, protecting or advancing the agendas of those criminals. Is President Bush a dangerous criminal? Without question his administration is largely run by criminals who are guilty of many crimes: Violating the U.S. Constitution, supporting torture in secret war prisons, conducting illegal surveillance on U.S. citizens, protecting deadly corporations that are killing millions of people (like Big Pharma) and much more. Tony Snow was a key enabler for these criminals, and for that he deserves only condemnation, not praise. His tombstone should read, "Here lies" and that's it.

A man earns respect and admiration for the way he conducts himself in life, not merely for expiring after holding a pompous-sounding title. When carefully considering what Tony Snow supported and defended, it becomes clear that Mr. Snow's actions with the Bush Administration make him something far less than honorable. That society sees fit to heap praise upon this individual merely for the fact that he has died seems quite ridiculous.

There are far better souls who have expired and received no recognition whatsoever: The midwife who delivered 500 healthy babies without drugs, the mentor who helped an inner-city kid escape a life of violence and poverty, the natural healer who inspired patients to take up exercise and healthy dietary changes, the international peace organization volunteers who bring medical supplies to war-torn regions around the world, the Big Pharma whistleblower who blows the lid on a global scandal…

These people deserve recognition, for they accomplished things that benefit humankind and help preserve the future of life on our planet.

What, I ask you, did Tony Snow ever do to benefit humankind? I can't think of a single thing. In fact, his actions actually went a long way towards deceiving humankind.

I don't believe in a literal place called Hell, but from listening to some of George Bush's religious comments, it's pretty clear that he does. And that means he and Tony Snow will someday be meeting there in a new, fiery briefing room. Maybe Tony Snow can serve as the press secretary for Satan himself!

His perceptive understanding of health and healing therapies will help you sift through the maze of disinformation amidst a sea of chaos and confusion so you will understand the root cause of all disease – Cellular Malfunction.

Mainstream Medicine’s fundamental misconception that thousands of different diseases exist, all with varied causes demanding different treatments, has led scientists down the flawed path of categorizing symptoms as disease when symptoms are the intelligent warning signals of disease. In this provocative interview, Tunsky will share with readers the inner workings of the body’s cells and outline his 9 Pillars of Cellular Health that are needed to restore whole body health and overcome virtually every disease “label” known to man.

Greg:  Gary, it’s a pleasure to have the opportunity to interview you on this extremely important subject.  Can you give our readers a short presentation on what goes on at the cellular level and how all disease originates there before we get into your 9 Pillars of Cellular Health?
     
Sure. To fully understand what leads to the degenerative and metabolic disease process so prevalent today you need to understand the inner workings of the cell. All life begins at the cell, is maintained by the cell, and ceases by the cell.  Your cells are pretty much the bricks and mortar — I call them the nuts and bolts — from which all living tissues and organs are made.  Each cell performs different responsibilities, depending on what type of cell it is.

In a complex world of over 100 trillion cells, the body is made of at least 200 different cell types.  There are brain cells, skin cells, kidney cells, muscle cells, bone cells, nerve cells, and so forth.  All of the body’s cells perform unique functions and synergistically orchestrate the body’s function capacity as a whole.  You cannot separate these cells any more than you can separate organs or systems without suffering consequences.  The problem with medical science is they’ve compartmentalized the body into a bunch of truck parts which has led to the training of specialty fields teaching that the cells, organs, and systems all work separately. You cannot segregate or isolate any of the cells, organs, systems, or even nutrients for that matter. They all work in synergy like a synchronized orchestra.

Greg:  What constitutes a healthy cell?

There are eleven different categories that are necessary for new cell growth and proper functioning of the body’s systems as a whole. They are:

1. 24 amino acids.
2. Carbohydrates or glycogen.
3. Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s).
4. 16 vitamins.
5. 72 plus minerals.
6. Enzymes (catalysts which make everything else work).
7. Phytonutrients (pro-oxidants instead of antioxidants coming from green plants which have the chlorophyll).
8. Sunshine or photon light (electromagnetic pulse waves which come from the sun).
9. Glyconutrients (essential glycosugars and glycolipids needed for cellular communication).
10. Oxygen.
11. Water (restructured alkaline water as opposed to dead acidic water).

Greg:  Can you explain how these eleven different categories are synonymous with the 26 letters of the alphabet and how it ties into good health?
              
Just as a dictionary is built on 26 letters, which are rearranged in sentences, the human cells need over 100-plus nutrients in eleven different categories to run cellular processes. Let’s say you have 30 nutrients out of 45 needed at a beta cell site to produce insulin. The cell will sit there and wait for the next meal to complete the extra 15 nutrients needed to synthesize the insulin.  If there’s a deficiency, it will wait to complete the nutrient recipe or synthesize inferior insulin.  Another cell might be a brain cell needing 40 nutrients to produce serotonin. If it’s not at the cell site or if the cell membrane is solidified, caked up with toxins, or hardened with hydrogenated fats, obviously that would be a factor in the cell not being able to receive the intelligent nutrients or electrical impulse needed to produce serotonin.
             
If it’s a liver cell that produces bile, it’s the same thing.  If the liver cell doesn’t have the recipe of the nutrients out of the 100-plus, the cell will sit there and wait for the next meal.  Hopefully you’ll be smart enough to complete the cellular recipe for the building material in order to make the bile.
              
So every hormone, neurotransmitter, peptide, and substance such as ATP for energy, is actually built on a recipe or a synergy of different nutrients from those eleven categories I just listed.
              
Greg:  Tell us how the body’s cells perform different functions within the body?

Well, every cell, whether it’s a nerve cell or a muscle cell or a brain cell, is analogous to us as a whole in a microcosm. For instance, we have to breathe oxygen — cells have to breathe oxygen.  We communicate — cells communicate in four different languages.  They communicate in electromagnetic language, neurotransmitter language, hormonal language, and electrochemical language, which would be a combination of brain and the muscle.

We have internal organs — our cells have internal organs called organelles or genetic material.  We have skin — our cells have skin called semi-permeable membrane to protect the inside of the cell from damage due to free radicals.

We conceive children — cells actually conceive by splitting and dividing into new cell generations called daughter cells.  We produce waste — cells produce and release waste which has to be eliminated from the body via the skin, colon and urine. We need photon light from the sun — every cell of the body needs photon light from the sun for cellular communication which creates the electromagnetic energy to light up the cell like a light bulb. We harness the micro-electric current energy coming from the sun through photosynthesis — cells harness micro-electric voltage inside the cell, in the mitochondria which produces the ATP; the energy factories for every cell. Cells are also manufacturing plants that synthesize hormones, neurotransmitters, proteins, peptides and intelligent life force to run all the body’s functions.

So if you look at the correlation between a human and a cell, we have 100 trillion tiny cellular engines that are analogous of a human that performs different functions.  Cells are multifaceted.  Some act as miniature electrical generators, like lithium batteries. New Age calls it aura but every human being produces energy that can be measured by Kirlian photography.  All of your cells store, repair, communicate, and transport.  Every second of every day your cells are involved with waste disposal, food production, temperature control, and pH balancing to maintain health and vitality all dependant on the 9 Pillars of Cellular Health.
                                             
Greg:  Gary, you’ve been able to break almost every disease known to man down into a short yet thorough presentation. Can you explain that to our readers?

Okay.  By knowing that the creation of the human body is built on plant-derived substances, not synthetic pharmaceutical compounds, the body is created to recognize self from non-self. Anything synthetic is rejected as a foreign substance.  The disease process is triggered by the accumulated toxins that we eat, breathe, drink, think, and bathe in on a regular basis. If we take in more contaminants, carcinogens and acids than what the body’s filtration, elimination and immune system can handle on a daily basis, it supersedes a threshold that eventually overwhelms the body and pollutes the blood.  Our blood is a river of life.  When it becomes overwhelmed with toxins it becomes a river of disease and death instead.
              
Here’s an analogy of the toxic assault most of us are faced with on a daily basis. Most Americans wake up Monday morning to a jolt of caffeine from a cup of coffee and a sugar-laden donut or pastry.  Then their hit with more toxins from breakfast, lunch, and dinner that will introduce more sugar, white flower, preservatives, additives, emulsifiers, stabilizers, cancer-causing dyes, artificial flavors, rancid fats, hydrogenated fats, and a litany of other toxic additives that eventually get into the blood through digestion.

Then you step outside and breathe contaminated air, especially if you’re in a major city like New York, Los Angeles or Houston. It’s possible you could be breathing 100,000 different environmental and industrial contaminants with every breath.  You have fluorocarbons, petrofluorocarbons, PCB’s, dioxin, industrial contaminants, fossil fuels, paint fumes, Chemtrails, pesticides, herbicides, and other genocides.

Combine this with the chemical by-products from industry depending on your profession. For example; if you’re a painter or if you’re a mechanic that’s dealing with turpentine solvents that leach through the skin and into the bloodstream.
                             
Then you have beverage contaminants with your Cokes, Dr. Peppers, carbonated sodas, BHA, BHT, sodium benzoate, Yellow No. 5 dyes, caramel coloring, MSG, aspartame, Splenda, phosphoric acid, and thousands of other chemicals that also get into the blood through digestion.
              
Then you have your skin, which is literally a sponge with what you’re bathing and showering in and most people, out of ignorance, don’t have a shower filter to filter this garbage out of their municipal water.  When you bathe you’re taking in chlorine dioxide, fluoride, bromide, arsenic and all the other chemical by-products they use to treat the water.  An average person with a 10-15-minute shower is going to drink six glasses of tap water by the absorption of the skin pores.
              
A trip to the bathroom will assault your body with thousands of other chemical toxins that are in your cosmetics and toiletries like toothpaste, mouthwash, soap, deodorant, shampoo, hair spray, shaving cream, lipstick, perfume, and cologne. In many cases manufacturers are not even required by law to list what chemicals are in these products.

So the big picture is by the time you breathe, eat, drink and bathe, not counting your social habits, second-hand smoke, emotional toxins, or the contaminants in your homes, businesses, or airplanes by breathing in recycled air from the air ducts that haven’t been cleaned in five years, you are past a threshold that your body can handle to stay well.  It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you breathe, eat, drink and bathe in more contaminants than your body can eliminate on a daily basis, eventually your payday will come as a degenerative or metabolic disease.

If you’re taking in an accumulated combined total of 150,000 contaminants on Monday and the liver, kidneys, colon, lymphatic system, the skin through sweat, and respiratory CO2 output are only capable of dumping 100,000 contaminants, you’re in trouble.  By Tuesday you haven’t changed your lifestyle; you have the same job, the same stress, the same eating habits, same social habits, and same job.  Day after day you maintain that toxic load at 150,000 or more, and the body is only dumping 100,000 or less.
            
As time goes on, the immune system weakens, the liver, kidneys and the lymphatic system get congested, and they slow down as far as their filtering capability.  Usually a lethargic condition or sluggishness sets in at this time telling you that contamination is occurring at the blood level.  Most people, being tired like that, are even more sedentary and ingest toxic stimulants to get them through the day.  Then at their jobs, they’re sitting around watching computers. At home they’re watching television and they’re not moving the blood and they’re not moving the lymph fluids.  So as time goes on, now the elimination systems, the filtration systems, and the immune system are only capable of removing 90,000 contaminants, then 80,000, then 70,000.  As time goes on, the toxic load is maintained but the elimination capability is weakened.

What happens with these extra carcinogens, acids, and toxins is they end up collecting in the blood.  Once the blood becomes contaminated, the body goes under what’s called adaption response where it will shove these toxins and poisons into a weak link in the chain of organs; what I call the path of least resistance.  This is your genetic predisposition given to you by your parents.  Wherever your weakness is, or the path of least resistance, is where the blood is going to choose to store or deposit the toxins in order to keep the blood clean and you alive.

If the dump zone is the joints and the blood is shoving these acids and contaminants into the synovial fluid producing cells for storage, what happens next is billions of cells that produce synovial fluid or bursa fluid become congested, contaminated, and suffocated.  Eventually it causes a cascading effect of cellular respiration problems and the water, oxygen, and intelligent nutrients can’t get in through the phospholipid membrane.

When billions of cells in the joints can’t produce the joint protecting fluid, you get a dryness and then an immune response of T-cells, macrophages, and NK cells to clean up the toxic mess like a Pac Man.  When the white blood cells fight anything, they release histamines, cytokines, or prostaglandins which are inflammatory chemicals.  This inflammatory response is going to be called arthritis or bursitis by medical science.  I want the readers to know that arthritis is not even a disease.  “Arth” means joint; “itis” means inflammation.  So inflammation of the joint is a description of the cellular malfunction of the synovial fluid or the bursa fluid producing cells.
          
If the dump zone is the pancreas because that’s your weak link in the chain of organs where the beta cells are that produce insulin and they get congested, suffocated, and contaminated, eventually the cell receptors get clogged and they cannot produce the insulin or receive glucose. When sugar is ingested, sugar regulation is affected and you’re going to go into a hypoglycemic condition eventually leading to the label “diabetes mellitus.”  Again, this is cellular malfunction just like bursa joint cell contamination would be cellular malfunction.  Two different locations, one disease: Cellular Malfunction.

If the dump zone is the heart where the cardiac cells are located that regulate electrical conduction for heart contraction, eventually you’re going to have arrhythmias or palpitations telling you what’s happening at the cellular level; that the toxic residues are impacted in the arteries, coronaries, or the cardiac tissue.  Eventually the symptoms are going to scream louder in an angina pain to tell you that cellular malfunction is more severe.  When the cells malfunction in the heart, you’re going to have a label called cardiovascular disease, eventually a myocardial infarction, or a heart attack, if it’s not dealt with by non-toxic, non-invasive treatments.
         
If the deposition is the frontal lobe of the brain, usually it’s heavy metals: aluminum, cadmium, lead, mercury from your teeth, vaccines, etc. Heavy metals will leak in through the blood brain barrier via the dopaminergic system then the lipid fatty tissue of the brain will attract these heavy metals.  If it’s the frontal lobe of the brain where cells regulate cognitive thinking, you’re going to get short-term memory problems and then eventually long-term memory loss called Alzheimer’s disease.  Again, these are labels of the same disease: Cellular Malfunction.

If the substantia nigra dopamine producing cells or the corpus striatum in the brain just below the pituitary is the collection or deposition zone for heavy metals and neurotoxins, you’re going to have problems with dopamine production; and you’re going to display symptoms of festination, or shuffling gait, called Parkinson’s disease.  There’s no such thing as Parkinson’s disease.  Parkinson is the name of a doctor. Parkinson’s disease is the descriptive label of cellular malfunction of dopamine producing cells in the brain.
 
I can show this physiological pathway with every “dis-ease” label known to man. The readers need to know that there is only one disease, cellular malfunction with two causes to the 10,001 “labels” on the one disease.  The question to your readers is what would be the treatment protocols if you knew that the physiological pathway to the one disease is toxicities and insufficiencies.
 
Greg:  The medical answer to the cellular malfunction is to prescribe symptom suppressive pharmaceutical drugs, administer chemotherapy, or radiate the body and poison the cells into an even further damaged state instead of bridging the gap and getting into what you talk about, the 9 Pillars of Cellular Health, that will actually restore health to the body by going to the cell level and feeding the cells the things that they need to survive and thrive.
          
Correct.  The readers need to know that there is only one disease and only two factors that cause the one disease of cellular malfunction:  Toxicities and Insufficiencies.  The categories of toxicities, Greg, would cover your environmental contaminants, food contaminants, beverage contaminants, your industrial household cleaners, and everything else I just described above.
 
Then you have your insufficiencies which are caused by the toxicities: insufficient respiration, hydration, circulation, nutritional assimilation, etc.  When you have a caked-up coating around the cell membranes, obviously that would cause hydration problems — the water can’t get in.  It would cause oxygenation problems, or what’s called hypoxia, which is the medical term for low oxygen and that’s a breeding ground for bacteria, viruses and even cancer.

It would also lead to nutritional insufficiencies.  If you have a cell membrane that is caked up, coated and solidified, obviously amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes — those eleven categories I talked about, even the photon light and electricity, are going to have trouble penetrating the cell membrane to get inside the cell.  You need intracellular nutritional elements instead of extra-cellular.
              
Most people don’t understand that it’s not the quantity that you take in with nutrition, it’s the quality.  What is the bioavailability?  What is actually absorbing intracellular versus floating on the outside called extra-cellular nutrition?  And most people don’t take in the proper nutrients necessary to get inside the cells where the genetic material lays, especially the inner hub called the nucleus, which is where the subatomic particles are.  That’s the power that runs the cellular engines.
              
So based on the location of the cellular malfunction, there is a correlating symptom or group of symptoms that is intelligently built in by God as a warning signal that medical science calls disease.  Every cellular malfunction in the human body, similar to a car, has the dummy lights that correlate to where the malfunction is occurring.  Medical science, out of ignorance, is wiping out the cellular cry (symptoms), driving the disease deeper instead of getting to the cellular malfunction because of ignorance in their training in med school.
           
Greg:  What you say sounds so simple, Gary.  Why doesn’t the medical establishment address these issues and correct the problems at the cellular level instead of just shutting down symptoms at the system level?
              
You can sum it all up in one simple word – MONEY! The medical training curriculum in the top university medical schools of Harvard, Baylor and Stanford make sure that the medical doctors are not taught the most important subject matters of symptoms verses disease.  Remember, these are 20-year-old kids that want to be an MD.  They’re sitting in front of a professor in a position of trust with a white coat who’s probably on the payroll of a drug company.  So, due to the infiltration of millions of dollars in the form of grant money or research money, they make sure that they do not teach the two subject matters that are the answers for cellular disease treatments: homotoxicology and nutritional biochemistry.
 
Medical doctors are ignorant about the toxic assaults against the DNA, cell membrane, genetic material, and the deficiencies of nutritional elements that are the building blocks of the cells.  The reason why these two subject matters are totally eliminated in medical school is because if they were ever taught that toxins cause cellular damage they would have to point their finger at their own profession and question their own toxic medicine, surgical knives of butchery, unnecessary organ removal, nuclear radio isotopes, chemotherapy, and radiation, and say, “Well, Professor, you’re telling us that toxins, X-Rays, and the category of synthetic compounds are the main cause of disease and cellular malfunction.  Then why are we writing symptom suppressive prescriptions with multiple side effects?  Why are we using mustard gas derived chemotherapy cocktails, radiation which causes cancer, and these radio isotopes and media contrast dyes that cause DNA damage?”

All of these treatments rob nutritional elements, make cellular respiration worse, cause dehydration, wipe out the immune system, and make cellular pH more acidic, allowing future opportunistic infections and disease to flourish.
                             
Greg:  The reality is if they were taught the truth, their whole empire would crumble because it’s built on a foundation of junk science that cannot withstand the light of truth.
              
Absolutely. It’s built on sand. When you start with a lie based on pseudo science you’ve got to maintain that lie to protect the economic system.  The whole medical profession is built on symptom suppression. Symptoms are not the disease they are just the warning signals of the cellular cry due to cellular malfunction caused by toxicities and insufficiencies.
              
What’s interesting is these two factors cause a cascade of other problems that will eventually drive you into the hospital.  Cellular detoxification should be one of the main treatment options of medical doctors to remove the cellular toxemia from the kidneys, liver, and blood so the cells can breathe properly again.  That is not even addressed in the medical profession.  There is not one mainstream medical doctor that will implement a cellular detoxification program.
              
Greg:  Let’s get into the 9 Pillars of Cellular Health that you recommend to stay healthy and recover from illness. Your first and most important pillar is Cellular Detoxification.
              
The reader needs to know that in the category of cellular detoxification, there are at least nine factors that need to be done to clean up the cellular toxemia.  The first is bowel elimination.  The bowels are a major elimination system that protects the liver and cells from toxic contamination.  Most people are constipated because they’re eating fiberless, colon clogging food that is causing congestion to the 30-foot alimentary canal which eventually leads to putrefied proteins, rancid fats and fermented carbs.  When they mix together, you get cancer-causing agents of nitrates, sulfates, purines, and peroxide free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals which will enter into the blood through the portal vein.  You have to implement measures of colon cleansing to detoxify the body. Temple Cleanse is a powerful magnesium based ozone product that I use which has superoxide ozonates to help break up the fecal matter into water and gases like Liquid Drano.            

Greg:  What do you recommend after cleansing the colon?

Cleanse the liver, kidneys and lymphatic system because they are the body’s filtration organs.  If the liver is backed up, the toxins switch to the kidneys. When the kidneys back up, toxins are shoved through the skin, which is the second kidney.  Rashes are really caused by a backup of the colon, liver and kidneys.  Seven layers of the dermis and the epidermis get clogged by the toxic sludge trying to come out through the skin pores through sweat.  Most people have trouble with perspiration, especially women.
              
Greg:  What are some things that people can do to cleanse their liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system?
              
I use a homeopathic drainage remedy from Germany called the Detox Kit which has three vials; one for the liver, kidneys, and the lymphatic system.  Then I use an extra drainage remedy for the blood because the life of the flesh is in the blood.
              
We also have herbs. There is milk thistle for the liver and uva ursa for the kidneys.  Even pure cranberry juice that doesn’t have sugar is great for the kidneys.  I’m a real advocate of fresh vegetable juices that have live enzyme and high chlorophyll content along with thousands of phytonutrients that cannot be matched in a chemistry lab.  As simple as fresh juice is from a juicer, it washes through the kidneys and liver because the digestive enzymes are intact and there’s no digestion needed because the juicer just did the digestive tract’s job.  It’s a tremendous pH changer, too.
              
Greg:  What are some of the other protocols of detoxification beyond cleaning the colon, liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system that you recommend?
              
The next detox pathway I open up would be respiration, which is as simple as breathing properly.  Deep breathing and regular exercise will increase O2 respiration and CO2 output, alkalizing pH.
             
Next would be increasing circulation.  Most people are sedentary so they don’t have any lymph and blood circulation. You have a stagnation which is caused by lack of life-giving circulation.  A stagnant swamp draws mosquitoes and flies and allows fungus and algae to grow on the top.  Many people have systemic candida problems because of stagnation. Then the sugar, white flower and Frankenfoods that they’ve been eating for years eventually collect in that stagnation and ferment, causing scavengers of bacteria, viruses, parasites, fluke worms, round worms and other virulent pathogens that eventually feed and breed in that area.
              
Next would be addressing vibratory problems.  Cell vibration would obviously be affected by not having enough electromagnetic pulse waves to the cells because of toxicities and other factors I’ve talked about. Lack of circulation, filtration and exercise causes cell vibration to drop to where cells become wobbly instead of having a high vibratory rate — what’s called resonance. Instead of having a left spin of health, which vacuums nutrition into the cells like a tornado vortex, the cells becomes wobbly and repel nutrients and fluids with a right spin and low vibratory rate similar to two magnets in opposition to each other. When this happens they start spinning right, keeping them on the outside of the cell.  The cells either spin left for health or right in a “dis-ease” process.

My last protocol of detoxification is heavy metal chelation.  Most people today are loaded with heavy metals from mercury amalgam fillings in their teeth, fish, vaccines, aluminum from aluminum cans, cookware, cosmetic items and other industrial sources.  All of these heavy metals imbed deep into the brain and nervous system and have a dramatic impact on the body’s health.  It’s important to find out what heavy metals may be in your system so they can be chelated out of the body.  
              
Greg:  Let’s pick up on your 2nd Pillar of Cellular Health, Gary.
              
Okay.  It’s correcting Cellular Oxygenation and respiration. Most people, because they’re sedentary, don’t breathe in enough oxygen, they’re shallow breathers. Another problem that we have is our environment is contaminated so we have trouble getting the saturation of oxygen we need because it’s chelated with fluorocarbons, fossil fuels, and industrial contaminants.
              
There are a lot of oxygen therapies available to help correct oxygen deficiencies.  There are oxygen drops that can be added to your water.  There is ozone therapy.  In our clinic we use an ozone cabinet. Ozone is an exotic form of oxygen that’s broken down into 01’s which are nascent molecules brought in through the skin.  You can also do ozone therapies to the blood outside of the United States called autohemotherapy.  There are hyperbaric chambers that pressurize the oxygen in the blood and increase saturation. There are also water machines that can ozonate the water and actually manufacture oxygen through ozone generation.
              
Greg:  What about chlorophyll?  Doesn’t that help oxygenate the body as well?
              
Yes. Chlorophyll comes from plankton, green leafy vegetables, wheat grass, barley grass, spirulina, chlorella, and other potent green foods. Concentrated wheat and barley grass has a high chlorophyll content which helps increase oxygen.  If you look at our environment they’re cutting down the rain forests and polluting the oceans, which have the oxygen giving plankton and algae.

The attack on our oxygen is a ploy being used to cause sickness.  The global elitists know that if they can drop the oxygen, keep you away from oxygen therapy, keep your colon polluted, keep your cells contaminated and insufficient of nutrition, water, photon light, and oxygen; they can maintain their sick care industry. Disease, Inc. is built on keeping medical doctors in the dark on cellular malfunction and away from removing toxic residues from the body that purposely creates the factors that cause the insufficiencies and toxicities at the cell level.  Then by focusing on symptom suppression, they keep the medical money-go-round or the medical merry-go-round rolling.  If you never get to the root cause of cellular malfunction, you can maintain this colossal scam by perpetrating mystery illnesses to the public that have unknown causes.
              
Greg:  What is your 3rd Pillar of Cellular Health?
              
The third pillar is Cellular Hydration. I’m talking about living water versus dead water.  When the body becomes too toxic the cell membranes become solidified with toxic residues and water has a hard time getting inside the cell.  The only water that would break up the toxic residue around the cell membrane would be micro-clustered or structured water that has an ionic exchange. Once water enters the cell, it actually forces toxins in the genetic material outside of the cell.  It spits out the toxic residues that have accumulated inside the cell back into the lymph and then eventually back into the blood circulation where they can be eliminated by the skin, colon, urinary tract, or through respiration.

Most people don’t drink enough water and they don’t drink the proper type of water.  People truly believe that H2O is H2O, whether it comes from reverse osmosis, distillation, or some type of water in the stores?  Through my research with fluid dynamics and hydro technology, water is as complex as quantum physics.  In order to properly hydrate the body you have to have alkalized micro-clustered structured water that is similar to a hexagonal snowflake if you look at it frozen under a microscope.  That’s what’s called intracellular water that gets inside the cell versus floating on the outside of the cell membrane.

There’s an incredible invention called The Alkalizer, which is a Living Water machine that works phenomenally well.  Tap water comes in, it’s filtered through a carbon filter, and then it’s actually run through the machine and restructured by platinum and titanium plates by electrolysis.  The water is restructured into that snowflake structure that I talked about – what’s called a micro-cluster which has a particle size that is so tiny that it passes right through the cell membrane into the cell.
              
What’s interesting about this water, too, is that it will bond to any nutrition in the blood, especially oxygen, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, pro-oxidants, etc. pulling them right into the cell with it.  So you’re getting what’s called intracellular technology versus an extra cellular technology.  Most waters are flat and dead because they have no mineral content.  Reverse osmosis and distillation have no life force.  It may be pure filtered H2O, but unfortunately it’s flat dead water that floats on the outside of the cell as opposed to going inside of the cell.
                            
Greg:  A lot of patients you work with think they’re getting hydrated drinking bottled water (Aquafina, Dasani, etc.) but they’re still dehydrated aren’t they?
              
Absolutely.  I’m still finding that they’re dehydrated because the body is getting water, but the cells are screaming, “I know you drank water, I didn’t.”  And the cells will continually scream for hydration if you’re not drinking intracellular water.  The dehydration is at the cellular level, not at the blood and system level.
              
Greg:  When you talk about drug companies and modern medicine, none of them recommend hydrating the cells properly as a protocol to getting well.  In fact, pharmaceuticals dehydrate most cells in the body, don’t they?
              
Yes they do.  Dehydration is a main culprit in migraine headaches. Every single pillar of cellular health that I recommend is actually blocked or antagonized by pharmaceuticals, surgical procedures, chemotherapy, and radiation which are the only four tools of treatment in the toolbox of the medical establishment.
              
Greg:  Let’s pick up on your 4th Pillar of Cellular Health.
              
Cellular Nutrition. I also call it intracellular nutrition or nutritional assimilation. What we’ve been taught is basic nutrition but I want to bring it a step ahead to show that the cells need to have intracellular nutrition versus extra-cellular nutrition just like I described with the water.  That means either the nutrition is floating on the outside or it’s vacuumed in where the genetic material, the DNA, and the co-factors of the cellular engine that run the cells are.  It’s called bioavailability. What is your assimilation inside the cell?  It has nothing to do with dosage.

This is not addressed in nutrition.  They’re just telling you to pop your pills and get your isolated vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.  What they don’t tell you is the type of minerals, vitamins, and nutrition that you need to take into the body that are bioavailable.
              
Greg:  Why don’t you explain what some of those are so our readers know what intracellular nutrition you recommend. We don’t want them buying a generic multi-vitamin thinking that they’re getting intracellular nutrition from it.
              
There are only a few companies out there that have figured out that liquid nutrition in a soluble ionic form instead of a colloidal or rock shale form actually has a higher absorption rate versus capsules, tablets, and pills that need to be digested and then broken down by the liver and kidneys.  One of my favorite lines is that “It’s a sin to put synthetics into a human living biological machine.”  Anything that’s not plant derived that is put into a chemistry lab in a synthetic concoction and synthesized is looked at as a foreign substance consisting of petroleum-based carbon-chain constructs.  When it comes to products like Centrum or a One-A-Day from Walgreen’s or Wal-Mart, you get what you pay for.  And you’re going to get synthetic constructs that are not going to be utilized versus a product such as Vibe from Eniva which has a solubility that creates a magnetic effect so the nutrition gets inside the cell.

If people bridge in the eleven categories of nutrition that I discussed earlier that are needed to build healthy cells, it will play a major role in cellular health.  Your readers need to know the synergy involved with these eleven categories. It’s called synchronicity. You can’t separate the eleven categories of nutrition or the 9 Pillars of Cellular Health that I am laying out.  They all work synergistically.  By doing cellular detox alone, it would obviously help, but if you’re not doing cellular oxygenation, cellular hydration, cellular nutrition, cellular immunity and so forth, you’re going to have gaps in cell function.  The body’s cellular matrix engine parts cannot run on oxygen only, or vitamins only, or minerals only; they need all nine pillars for peak performance. To tell someone to take their vitamin C, vitamin B6, or calcium is useless information.  What about the other nutrients that work with these isolated nutrients?
              
You have to see the rain forest instead of just looking at a tree to see the big picture that the cell runs on integrative complex factors and not just myopically running on one thing at a time.  If an automobile engine runs on many parts, the cellular engine runs on many parts.  And you have to understand those 9 parts, which is what I’m trying to explain.  When you combine oxygen, photon light, micro-clustered water, minerals, living foods from plants, etc. the blood becomes extremely rich as far as health is concerned and a flowing river of life to the hundred trillion cells, as long as there’s circulation flowing from head to toe.
              
Greg:  What’s the 5th Pillar of Cellular Health?
              
Correcting Cellular pH.
           
Greg:  You and I wrote a book and produced a CD set called “The Battle For Health is Over pH.”  pH is a huge part of the health  program, but when you bridge everything else in that you’re talking about here, the body’s pH corrects itself, doesn’t it?
              
Correct, as long as you’re incorporating the 9 Pillars of Cellular Health.  Acidic pH actually draws in virulent pathogens and scavengers to clean up the mess. Acidosis also shuts down cell process.  Instead of running on 8 cylinders, the cells will only run on four cylinders, causing a host of problems.

Greg:  So it’s very important for people to stop doing all the things that are poisoning them with acid, isn’t it?
             
Absolutely.  The sugar-laden, saturated fat American diet or what they call the standard American diet is loaded with toxins and acids coming from food sources and beverages.  You have carbonated beverages, sugar, coffee, alcohol, and even acid emotions of anger to stress, which is a major factor in the United States.  Most people are eating a diet that is 80 percent acid and 20 percent alkaline, if they’re lucky.  For some it’s 90 percent acid and 10 percent alkaline.  It should be 80 percent alkaline and 20 percent acid in order for cellular process to function correctly, in order to maintain that 7.3 pH.
              
Greg:  What is your 6th Pillar of Cellular Health?
              
Cellular Immunity or cellular immune system modulation versus manipulation.  Everything in medical science is a manipulator to cellular immunity, such as bone marrow transplants, gamma globulin injections, interferon, and interleukin injections.  What they don’t understand in immunology is the immune system runs on 22 instruments simultaneously and it plays like a symphony orchestra.  When you manipulate one out of the 22 and elevate it artificially, then you throw off the other 21 instruments causing a homeostatic imbalance to the body.
              
With cellular immunity you need to modulate it like tuning in a piano or a radio that’s between channels.  To do this you need glycosugars, which is the science of glycobiology, transfer factors, mushroom extracts, aloe vera, colostrum, Beta-1,3-glucans, thymus extracts, glandulars, and many other natural compounds.  These healing elements are all powerful immune system modulators as opposed to artificial manipulators.  All of these modulators actually tune in the 22 instruments that play the immune system symphony.

You have T cells, B cells, memory cells, natural killer cells, tumor necrosis factor, interferon, interleukin, etc. You have a wide variety of different types of white blood cells that are orchestrated as an immune system symphony and communicate to each other like a wireless fiber optic phone system.
              
Greg:  What would be your 7th Pillar of Cellular Health?
              
Cellular Communication.  Again, like I said earlier, we communicate and our cells communicate.  We use different languages of Spanish, German, Polish, Norwegian, etc., cells have different languages depending on the cell type.  The problem is if the DNA antenna and transmitter cannot receive the electromagnetic, hormonal, electrochemical, or the neurotransmitter pulse waves, they cannot receive the correct pulse to trigger a cellular communication to the distant or neighboring cells.  A good analogy would be to picture a hundred trillion cells firing like a wireless phone system.  There are over 6 billion people on the planet. Envision all of them picking up a wireless cell phone and making a phone call.  That’s 6 billion conversations going on simultaneously.  Then picture everyone hitting three-way with three-way conversations going on throughout the world.  Then picture everyone hitting conference call where each phone has the capability of 1,000 conversations.
              
Now picture everyone dunking their phone in mud.  What would happen?  Transmission and reception would be affected.  When the body’s cells become suffocated or contaminated by the cellular toxemia or sludge, they block the cell membrane and the electromagnetic, neurotransmitter, and hormonal pulse waves cannot get in and hit the DNA coil to transmit and receive cellular messages.  It shuts down cellular communication making you tired and docile.
              
A lack of glycosugars on the cells’ receptors also plays a factor in the cellular communication breakdown.  If glycosugars are not lining the cell membrane and causing a Braille-type notching, the cells can’t fire the messages.  When our mouths are covered, we can’t talk and communicate.  When cell membranes are coated with toxins and deficient in glycosugars, they can’t talk and communicate properly either.
              
When a hundred trillion cellular engines are being shut down from proper communication, it affects moods and feelings.  It also affects energy and thought process.  If you look at every Pillar of Cellular Health I’ve talked about, electromagnetics and photons are involved. Every nutrient in a living form is conductive, whether it’s oxygen, minerals, essential fatty acids, or water, which carries current just like if you were in a bathtub with a live radio thrown into it.  Water is a carrier of current, as long as you have the right type of water in the body.  So every pillar contributes to cellular electricity.
              
Greg:  When you talk about glycosugars, can you expound on that a little bit more because this is a relatively new science that has a lot of clinical research behind it?

Just like there are essential fatty acids, essential amino acids, and essential vitamins and minerals that the body needs, there are essential sugars that the body needs too.  Due to our poor dietary habits and the degeneration of the environment around the world, our bodies are lacking some of these essential sugars. Even if you’re following these pillars that I’ve outlined here, if you’re missing four, five, or six of these important sugars on the cells, you’re still going to be lacking perfect health because your cells aren’t going to be able to communicate without those essential sugars on them.

Unfortunately, because no one eats perfect, we have to implement these glycosugars in a supplement form.  There are only two products that I know of currently that offer a complete blend of these essential sugars. One is Manapol from Carrington Labs and the other is Ambrotose from Mannatech.  
            
Greg:  The only problem with Mannatech is that they are promoting these sugars as the cure all.  Unless you incorporate your 9 Pillars of Cellular Health, you’re missing a whole spectrum of other treatment protocols that are necessary.  Your famous line that always sticks in my head is “There is no magic bullet, whether it’s with nutritional supplements or pharmaceutical drugs.”
              
Absolutely not.  Just as no organ works alone, no cell works alone, no system works alone, and no nutritional element works alone.  That needs to be known.  There is a lot of deception out there.  You can’t bake a cake with flour only.  You need a lot of ingredients.  The cells need a lot of ingredients.  This is why incorporating these 9 Pillars of Cellular Health are so important.  The reason why the Lord has chosen nine is that nine is the only number in the universe that completes itself.  We are complete in cellular health with 9 Pillars of Cellular Health.
              
Greg:  Can you explain to our readers how nine completes itself?
              
In Pythagoras math, nine is the only number in the universe that remains nine when multiplied and broken down into one digit by adding the digits together.  For example, 1 times 9 equals 9; 2 times 9 equals 18, 1 plus 8 is 9; or 9 times 3 equals 27, 2 plus 7 is 9; 9 times 4 equals 36, 3 plus 6 is 9; 9 times 8 equals 72, 7 plus 2 is 9.  If you go to 9 billion times 9 it equals 81 billion, 8 plus 1 plus 0000000000 is 9.  So it completes itself to eternity, forever. That’s why God chose that number as a completion number.  We are complete in 9.

When you incorporate these 9 Pillars of Cellular Health, it kicks in God’s self-healing autonomic system, so the healing doctor that’s inside you is triggered.  It’s a catalyst that ends up triggering the self-healing system to repair any cellular damage there is.  And then the symptom of the cellular damage or the cellular malfunctioning goes away.

Greg:  What is your 8th Pillar of Cellular Health?
              
Hormone Modulation.  Again, you need hormone modulators instead of hormone manipulators.  Males and females are both suffering from serious hormonal imbalances and problems because of all the toxicities in the environment, foods, beverages, and the drugs they’re taking like the pill and these hormone replacement therapies.  If you look at medical science and allopathic Westernized medicine, their limitation of treatment is hormone manipulation with Premarin, Prevarin or synthetic testosterone for men.  They are throwing off the homeostasis of the other hormones that work in synergy with that individual hormone.  You cannot manipulate one hormone without throwing nine more off because they work in synergy.  If you manipulate estrogen you’re going to throw off luteinizing hormone or follicle stimulating hormone or growth hormone and DHEA.  No one knows what hormones are going to be thrown out of balance.
              
You need plant derived substances that are non-toxic coming from nature that modulate these hormones like tuning in a piano or a radio.  A plant-derived compound could be damiana. There’s black cohosh, blue cohosh, dong quai, dioscorea extract coming from the Mexican yam, plant sterols, natural progesterone cream, and many other compounds.  Most problems in women aren’t estrogen problems; they’re progesterone problems.  The very thing that they increase in medicine (estrogen) is causing cancer.
              
Greg:  We published a big story on that in Crusader along those very same lines.  Dr. Sherrill Sellman said that women are being given way too much estrogen and they lack progesterone which is what would really help correct a lot of their hormonal problems.
              
Correct. In society today women have been buying the lie that they can go get Premarin which means pregnant mare’s urine.  This is what they’re sticking into the body of a woman.  Out of ignorance, most women don’t know that so they’re putting these synthetic concoctions into the blood and causing more toxins and hormonal imbalances, risking breast and ovarian cancer.
              
Greg:  Would incorporating a detoxification program be one of the biggest things to correcting a lot of the hormone problems to begin with?
              
Absolutely.  In fact, I don’t touch any of my patients in my clinic without doing the cellular detoxification first. I put them on a whole body detox.  I call it Dr. Detox, which is formulated to clean up the liver, kidneys, blood, lymphatics, colon, and the cells first.  Eventually the cells are allowed to breathe again and receive the intelligent nutrients.  Then I do what’s called a building phase where I build the hormones, build the immunity, build the nutritional deficiencies and then increase the blood flow to the injured or diseased areas.  Eventually the cellular engines become bathed again by the oxygen, photon light, water, vitamins, minerals, EFA’s, — whatever is missing.  Then the cellular engines synthesize what they’re supposed to.  They actually regenerate instead of degenerative.  So you’re either getting a cellular degeneration by lacking the 9 Pillars of Cellular Health or you’re getting a regeneration by implementing them.
           
Greg:  Pick up on the 9th Pillar of Cellular Health.

The last pillar is Stabilizing Cellular Emotion and Spirit.  There is an emotional component to the cell which is thinking and speaking.  Prayer is a link to the nucleic hub of the cell, the Holy Spirit.  If you’re speaking negative factors into your life, you’re going to draw negative circumstances and the cells are affected by negative gene expression.  If someone is screaming at you or says “I hate you” – it will change the chemistry of the cells.  This is Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work. He’s actually proven that even the water surrounding the cell is going to be shattered in a chaotic structure like broken glass by speaking negative things of hate and anger.  Or if you’re speaking love and positive joyful things, the water will make a perfect hexagonal snowflake structure.  Everyone needs to know that what you’re thinking or speaking is where you go.  You will draw the circumstances into your life, negative or positive, and the cells will function in a degenerative way or a regenerative way, depending on what’s said or thought.
              
Greg:  Music also plays a big role in this emotional/spiritual role.  Feeding your mind and your spirit with the wrong music all day long can definitely have a negative effect on your health, correct?
              
Absolutely.  Getting back to that water being effected by sound, acid rock, rap, and a lot of this chaotic music nowadays has satanic lyrics.  They’re hidden lyrics that you’re just not aware of and it affects the water around and inside the cell in a negative way, which causes cellular degeneration.  Eventually it’s going to give you suicidal tendencies.  That’s why you’re hearing about murders now with a lot of these rock groups and children that listen to this type of music.

Releasing toxic emotions would be a factor in this category too.  It’s kind of what I call an emotional constipation.  When you hang on to toxic emotions such as anger, bitterness, resentment, hatred, unforgiveness, etc. and don’t release it, your cells are affected in a degenerative or a negative way.  It can even cause acidic pH.
              
Greg:  So what happens when a person incorporates all of these 9 Pillars of Cellular Health?
              
All of the body’s 100 trillion cells regenerate and perform at optimum capacity.  The body’s built in self-healing system kicks in and the body heals itself.  Every cell in the body either replaces itself in a regenerative way — gets stronger — or it degenerates and walks down the basement.
              
I even take it a step further. These 9 Pillars of Cellular Health impact the subatomic particles inside the nucleus of the cell where the DNA is that makes up the atom.  Subatomic particles form the atomics of the cell.  Atoms form molecules and molecular structures such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen which make up the genetic material of the cell.  Cells then make up tissues, tissues make up organs, organs make up the systems, and systems make up the body.
              
The power that runs the cell is the subatomic, which is the unseen spiritual component of the cell.  The Holy Spirit has a link to every single one of your hundred trillion cells.  I call it the nucleic hub where the subatomic particles reside.  That’s the spiritual side of man, the link to God, which runs the intelligence of the hundred trillion cells every nanosecond of the day.

USDA Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs, Bruce Knight has promised the NAIS program is easy to enroll and totally voluntary on the federal level, "if . . . enough livestock owners enroll so it does not have to go mandatory."

The fourth Component is meticulously touched by Knight, "If USDA decides to make all or parts of the NAIS mandatory, APHIS will follow the normal rulemaking process." With rules, laws, inspections, taxes, regulations, or licensing comes next, the fourth component……Enforcement.

NAIS policing is not a happy subject especially when the first component is not setting well with the majority. It is more serious for those who want to know the NAIS price tag, before they permanently enroll.

In 2007 the US spent nearly one trillion dollars in enforcements, policing, investigations, and mandatory compliances. Although this was a huge expense to the citizenry, the fines, penalties, licenses, and private property confiscations was an equally swelling amount.

The current "rule making process" for USDA is found on line at Cornell University Law School.  Civil penalties enforceable by USDA for a mandatory NAIS are allowed for each case $50,000, $250,000 and $500,000 with up to 10 years in prison.

Penalties appropriate to the violation is a cornerstone fundamental of the US judicial system. However, enforcement is totally capricious with USDA. One could be fined in county court $1000 for a 60 mph speed violation through a school zone, yet $50,000 for crossing a state line with one number incorrect on a USDA issued livestock health certificate—-for a perfectly healthy child's pony!  Dr. Max Thornsberry, President of R-CALF USA says, "The USDA is a run away agency out of control, with total disregard for U.S. citizens."

Producers have been mystified by the massive amount of grants and funds (cooperative agreements) doled by USDA to get NAIS to mandatory. The nearly $150,000,000 used to promote enrollment looks large, but ….. it would only take 300 violations of $500,000 each to quickly earn it back.

US leaders watch other government trends to create new laws and taxation. Government animal ID systems have been urged in a few countries prior to the marketing of NAIS in the US.  Australia, the only country to have implemented electronic tagging and tracking as proposed by USDA is a prototype for enforcement.

Stephen Blair, Director of the Angus Society of Australia was recently fined $17,300. He was prosecuted by Australian Minister McDonald for moving cattle from one of his ranches wearing ID tags from his other ranch to a livestock auction. No diseased or stolen livestock were involved. This is a tiny example of the enforcement USDA could wield over US livestock producers if NAIS was exacted mandatory.

Part of the title for Bruce Knight, is "REGULATORY PROGRAMS." This explains his tigerish priorities for the income generating fourth component of NAIS—-ENFORCEMENTS.

The USDA/APHIS policing division is the Investigative and Enforcement Services (IES) with headquarters in Raleigh, NC, Fort Collins, CO, and Riverdale, MD.  IES boasts of increasing thousands of "clients" with a 51% increase in case load and "more than a threefold increase in the dollar value of civil penalties" in one recent year. To enforce the ever increasing number of regulations, the government seeks to make ordinary citizens their enforcers. Even today all neighbors, farm employees, friend or foe are encouraged on the IES web site to "Report potential violations, please contact IES." Wisconsin tried to use bulk milk haulers to enforce NAIS against Amish dairy farmers in 2007. The Fourth Component is operational and extremely aggressive.

The Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) printed an information flyer to dispel negative NAIS exaggerations. Question: Reports say you're going to charge $1000 a day for not participating if it is mandatory. Answer: "The TAHC is a regulatory agency and has administrative penalty provisions in it's law as a recourse for persons who refuse to comply."

The Fourth Component is Enforcements and the majority of US livestock producers don't like the thought of imprisonment and exorbitant fines.

NAIS, when mandatory, as proposed by USDA, will require 100% computer movement documentation at the full expense of livestock owners. In a three year period the total NAIS computer entries in the USA will more than eclipse the number of all people living on the entire planet. The whopping magnitude of this federal numbering burden will require a giant increase in USDA employees, facilities, and, of course IES will explode with new "clients."

The large majority of livestock producers refuse to enroll in NAIS. Oppose NAIS now, rather than when it becomes scurrilously mandatory. There is a small amount of time remaining to politically react.

Federal Flameproof Mattress Regulation Creates New Health Risk

70 seconds open flame test

NBC and CBS Poison Mattress news featured on Valentine’s Day (Feb-14-08):

The NBC Investigative Reporter caught the government in a lie saying chemicals in beds don’t get out.  Then the reporter showed the government's own scientific report proving chemicals do leach out and are absorbed in our bodies.

Mattresses must now withstand this open flame test for 70 seconds at 2,000 degrees. Wool burns at 600 degrees.  This is a new mattress regulation and July 1, 2007 was the compliance deadline for the national regulation, and all mattresses that are manufactured after that date contain toxic chemicals.

NBC interviewed several mattress factory employees who say they and dozens of their co-workers have gotten sick in the past eight months.  Employees were experiencing rashes, fever, skin irritations, headaches, sore throats, nose bleeds, bronchitis and coughs.  They all say the health problems began last year when the manufacturers started making mattresses that pass the government’s new flame test.  When asked if they would sleep on the mattresses their factory was making the workers stated they would not.

Although we may not know every chemical that has to be put in these mattresses in order to pass the 70 second open flame test (2,000 degrees) what we do know is that insecticides, fertilizers, antimony (arsenic-cancer), boric acid (roach killer), ammonium polyphosphate (fertilizer that breaks down to ammonia), melanine (poisoned out pets recently), formaldehyde (cancer-blindness), polyvinyliden chloride (PVDC),.fiberglass, and silica glass (simple glass) are some of what is being used.  Many of these chemicals are proven to leach from mattresses and can be absorbed into our bodies.  European scientists have proven that antimony leaches through vinyl on crib mattress.  Yes, many new crib mattresses contain antimony.  Antimony poisoning is similar to arsenic poisoning.

Mattress manufactures deny using chemicals, and there is no labeling requirement. I have been asked to inform my patients of the possible health risk and give patients freedom of choice.  Most people do not want to unknowingly sleep in and absorb toxic chemicals.

All mattresses contain chemicals but now with the added chemical there is a very serious health risk. Spread the word and tell your friends to be very careful.  These companies may not reveal the truth to you.
