Modern Medicine Versus Nature by Tony Isaacs Western medicine, in contrast to
at least 6000 years of natural medicine treats the body as a collection
of parts instead of as a synergistic organism. When it comes to
treating broken bones and injured body parts, mainstream Western
medicine is unequaled. When this same approach is used to treat
illness and disease - fixing or repairing the parts where the
symptoms of underlying illnesses manifest themselves, modern medicine
fails miserably.
In the instance of cancer, instead of addressing the causes of
cancer - toxins and a weakened immune system - we see instead
treatments that either slash, burn or poison away the tumors and
cancer cells, which further weakens an immune system cancer has
already defeated and only worsens the conditions that led to cancer
to begin with.
Even if initially successful at getting rid of existing cancer
cells and tumors, the end result is a weakened body which may
have major organ damage and which is more susceptible to the reappearance
of the original cancer, as well as other forms of cancer and diseases.
For half a century or more, we have been told that a breakthrough
or cure for cancer is just around the corner, yet the death rates
for cancer remain virtually unchanged. Meanwhile, effective natural
and alternative treatments which address and correct the actual
causes of cancer continue to enjoy much greater success than the
largely failed mainstream treatments, even as they are suppressed
and come under increasing attack by the medical establishment.
Profit plays a huge role in Western medicine and because nature
cannot be patented, there is no profit in conducting studies on
natural remedies for cancer and illness - and. In fact, if studies
were to prove the effectiveness of natural alternatives and those
alternatives were to be approved for use in treating cancer and
other illnesses, the result would be to admit cheaper, safer and
more effective competition into a fiercely guarded market. Instead,
such alternatives are heavily suppressed, discredited passed off
as "snake oil" and "voodoo medicine".
The cold, hard fact is that cancer and other degenerative and
chronic illnesses are big business - hundreds of billions of dollars
a year big business. When your only market place is our bodies,
the vested interests of the trillion dollar world pharmaceutical
empire, mainstream medicine and the institutions which depend
on maintaining the status quo are not likely to allow such natural
competition, even though the cost is millions of needless deaths
and untold suffering.
A better plan for maintaining and increasing profit is to continue
to bring new drugs into the market place which treat only symptoms
and have serious side effects that lead to still more drugs in
a never ending cycle so that by the time a male American reaches
65 years of age, he takes an average of 15 prescribed and over
the counter medications - when it all started out with one or
two conditions that could have been treated safely and effectively
by natural means. A good model for profit, but a horrible one
for humanity.
We now have over 15,000 patented and approved drugs, 95% of which
have significant side effects. It is no accident that our doctors
have been taught for generations, just as we have been, that the
way to treat illness and disease is to prescribe approved medications
– medications that are made by the single largest source
by far of funding for medical education: the world pharmaceutical
companies. What exactly has this mountain of medicine actually
cured in the past half century? Certainly not cancer!
By far the most effective way to beat and avoid cancer is to remove
the causes of cancer and to make your body as inhospitable to
cancer and illness as possible. To understand what steps we should
and can take, we should understand what we know about cancer:
We know that:
• The development of cancer indicates that our natural first
line of defense, our immune system, has been defeated and that
the presence of either toxins and pathogens, or some imbalance
in our bodies has led to the development of cancer and enabled
it to gain an upper hand.
• Cancer cannot develop without an impaired liver.
• Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment, nor
can it survive in a highly oxygenated environment.
• Detoxing and cleansing our colons and liver helps restore
balance, prepares our bodies to better be able utilize natural
immune boosters and cancer fighters and paves the way to rebuilding
our livers and immune systems.
• Cancer cells are diseased, impaired and/or beset by pathogens
and have lost the ability to die naturally via cellular apoptosis
and be replaced by healthy cells. These cancerous cells simply
become abnormal and outlive the other cells in their normal cell
life/replacement cycle and end up crowding out a territory over
time.
• Iodine, vitamin D, and potassium are all vital to beat
and ward off cancer.
• Fresh air, pure water and sunshine are also vital to maintain
healthy bodies which can fight off and beat conditions like cancer.
• A natural diet of uncontaminated raw vegetables and raw
fruits, with plenty of omega-3’s and balanced nutrition
has been proven to be effective in numerous natural anti-cancer
protocols.
• A great number of natural botanicals and supplements,
such as those containing beta glucans and other long-chain polysaccharides,
the oleander remedy I have written about, Colloidal Silver, Inositol
(IP-6), the ABM mushroom, South Africa's "Cancer Bush"
sutherlandia frutescans, cat's claw, pau d'arco, corialus versicolor
mushroom, and many others have been proven to boost the immune
system, destroy pathogens, protect our cells, and beat cancer.
• Sugar feeds cancer.
And so, when we go to an oncologist and are diagnosed with cancer
what is the prescribed treatment? Does it incorporate ANY of the
above elements? No, sadly it does not. Our doctor prescribes what
he or she has been taught: cut out, radiate or poison the symptom
and do nothing to address the underlying causes and natural imbalances
that enabled led to the symptom.
As a result, the way is paved for the return of the cancer or
the introduction of another cancer or serious condition. Even
worse, the road to further illness is often made easier due to
the damage to the immune system and major organs caused by the
treatment of the symptom.
Nature, on the other hand, enables us to address virtually every
area of knowledge and concern. For example, the protocol I would
recommend, based on what nature has to offer us:
• As soon as possible, cleanse your body to get rid of built
up toxins like heavy metals and pesticides, as well as the undigested
food, fecal matter and gallstones that build up in the body by
cleansing your colon and liver and by chelation to rid the body
of heavy metals. Such contaminations are breeding grounds for,
and causes of, disease and illness. A toxic and unclean body weakens
the body's immune system that should be your first line of defense.
Plus, once cleansed, the body is much more receptive to the good
measures you take to rebuild your immune system and fight disease.
• Cleanse your environment to the greatest extent possible
and eliminate bad habits. In an ideal world, you would move to
the country where there was plenty of fresh air and sunshine and
less stress. In the real world you may not find that possible,
so eliminate common toxins in your household, workplace and other
places you spend time.
• Immediately eliminate bad habits and begin building build
good ones so that you will make sure that you no longer have habits
that weaken your immune system and that you will be able to build
your body to fight and conquer illness. A sedentary lifestyle
with a poor diet, lack of pure water, sunshine and fresh air,
and constant exposure to toxins will in time lead to bad health
conditions. Remember, a bad health habit is like an invitation
card for illness and disease to enter your body.
• Begin and maintain a healthy immune-boosting and cancer
fighting diet. A good balanced diet, pure water, fresh air, sunshine
and exercise are some of the essentials. You will find that a
good diet does not have to be a bad tasting diet – far from
it! However, it should be noted that the very best and most healthy
diet is one that is close to the diet our ancestors evolved to
utilize: lots of fresh and uncooked vegetables, fruits, nuts,
roots and tubers, and fish and meat uncontaminated by growth hormones,
artificial fertilizers or pesticides – and little or no
grain or dairy products. It should be noted that of all the foods,
essentially only raw vegetables and fruits contribute to an alkaline
pH.
• Rebuild and strengthen the body's natural immune system.
It is very likely that a weakened immune system contributed to
your illness in the first place. It is absolutely certain that
a rebuilt and strengthened immune system will help you beat your
illness and keep it at bay. Again, good diet, nutrition and habits
are all important – they lay the foundation for a strong
and healthy immune system. However, they are not enough by themselves.
You want to build a good foundation and then make your body a
healthy fortress against disease and illness. Quite simply, disease
and illness hate healthy hosts. The stronger your immune system
is, the harder it is for disease to survive and grow. And, to
be the very strongest you can be, you need extra measures in the
form of supplements as well as the healthiest foods.
• Cleanse, restore and protect the liver before, during
and after your anti-cancer and disease battle. Cancer cannot develop
unless the liver is impaired to begin with. Plus, an effective
cancer fighting regimen will result in the release of a cascade
of toxins that are released when cancer cells die. Such a release
can overwhelm an already impaired liver and can even be fatal
if measures are not taken to protect and regenerate the liver.
Some of the very best anti-oxidants to used to protect and regenerate
the liver are the ones used in the Berkson Clinical Study: Milk
Thistle (silymarin), alpha lipoic acid and selenium.
• Maintain an alkaline pH and get plenty of oxygen to the
cellular level. Cancer cannot survive in the presence of an alkaline
cellular pH level, nor can it survive in the presence of highly
oxygenated cells. Dr. Johanna Budwig of Germany has shown that
for proper cellular utilization of oxygen to take place, our diets
must contain adequate amounts of unsaturated fatty acids.
• Make sure you have plenty of iodine, potassium and Vitamin
D. All have been proven to be essential in beating and avoiding
cancer. As mentioned above, cancer cells have lost the ability
to be shut off by the body in what is called cellular apoptosis.
These cancerous cells simply become abnormal and outlive the other
cells in their normal cell life/replacement cycle and end up crowding
out a territory over time. Iodine goes in and both does away with
the surrounding cyst where cancer has set up residence and then
also goes in and allows the specific shut down of the individual
cells that are abnormal, diseased, or beset w/ pathogens to make
room for new cells.
• Drink plenty of pure water and get plenty of fresh air
and sunshine. Water is essential for all healthy life; however,
regular tap water contains trace amounts of hundreds to thousands
of pesticides, carcinogens and other industrial pollutants. For
that reason, the author recommends only the purest drinking water,
such as reverse osmosis filtered water. Don't overdo the sunshine,
but sunshine is essential to the production of vitamin D, and,
strange as it may sound, has been found to be essential in warding
off melanoma as well as other cancers...
• Exercise in moderation. Regular exercise does not have
to be grueling, but it is essential. Exercise stimulates the immune
system, stimulates the production of natural human growth hormone,
stimulates the production of hormones and pheromones that make
us happier and healthier, and simply leads to a longer and happier
life period. It is not a coincidence that studies have shown up
that those who exercise only a few hours each week have up to
50% less chance of developing many different kinds of cancer.
• The next element of beating your disease and keeping it
at bay is to go on the attack. As a matter of fact, all of the
elements of this anti-cancer and disease protocol are elements
of attack, because they make the body strong and inhospitable
to disease. What I am talking about here is more than just making
the body inhospitable to your disease – I am talking about
going on the attack and wiping it out! In the case of cancer,
there are many very potent anti-cancer supplements- such as the
ones listed above and several others. One such supplement, based
on a remedy I have researched and written about consisting of
four potent botanicals has been used for the past three years
in South Africa to treat HIV and cancer. Of approximately 350
HIV patients, all are still alive and well with their symptoms
either reversed or stabilized. Of 80 cancer patients, some in
very late stages, 72 are alive and well and either cancer free
or with their cancers in remission and tumors shrinking. Of the
8 that did not survive, 5 were in their very final days and could
not hold down the supplement. Another three succumbed to organ
failure as a likely result of prior traditional Western treatment
via chemo.
• Avoid sugar to the greatest extent possible. Sugar feeds
cancer and other illnesses and causes a myriad of other health
problems. Refined sugar is also the number one single cause of
health problems in the entire world!
• The final key to winning your battle is your mental attitude.
Remove as much stress from your life as you can and believe that
you are going to win. Stress and worry accomplish nothing –
worse, they are actually allies of illness and disease. You have
surely heard the term "stress, the silent killer"? It's
true! So you must do whatever it takes to remove stress from your
life and make your mental attitude your ally. Meditate, take yoga,
change jobs, retire, go fishing, find a pleasant hobby –
do whatever you must to remove stress and have a positive mental
outlook. Just remember, anyone who introduces or keeps worry and
stress in your life is neither a friend nor an ally during this
fight. And make no mistake; it is a fight - likely the biggest
one of your life. But it is a fight you can and will win. Think
it, believe it and live it!
Some in the field of natural health will tell you that you can
beat cancer through diet alone, or through diet and de-toxing.
In many instances that is true, and some of the most effective
and popular natural anti-cancer protocols, such as the Budwig
Diet, are based on such a premise.
However, in my opinion, the more weapons you have in your natural
arsenal, the greater your chances of success will be. That is
why I advocate including one or more of the powerful natural supplements
that have been proven to beat cancer and boost the immunes system,
and which address what we know about cancer.
Our depleted soils and the introduction of modern industrial toxins
and contaminants makes it hard to build a strong enough immune
system through diet alone - and our immune systems were not designed
to handle the modern toxins they face, which is why cancer is
largely a modern disease.
And for those of you who believe the big lie that the harsh and
ineffective options offered by the mainstream medical establishment
that has a half century record of broken promises to deliver a
cure or significant breakthrough are superior to nature, I ask:
When did God become a quack?
Live long, live healthy, live happy!
