Recently, I had to euthanize a cat that I have been fostering for almost a year. He was abandoned in a foreclosure and ended up in another's care who didn't want him. Leo was FIV positive. FIV in cats is not contagious as is feline leukemia but it is enough to scare any potential foster's or adopters. The agency that stepped in to help Leo could not find anyone willing to help him and were about to send him to animal control where he would surely be euthanized. This is where I stepped in. After a week in my care I noticed spots of blood on the floor in Leo's room only to discover a fast growing tumor (cancerous) on his hind quarters. His sponsoring agency's vet said Leo should be euthanized as the tumor was too large to operate but because they would not allow me to be with him for that procedure I insisted he go to my vet as they would allow me to be with him. (I do not allow any of the animals in my care to be euthanized without me there to comfort them in their final moments.) To my surprise my vet says "would you like me to remove the tumor?"She did and he came home with me to recover however in that process she discovered a heart murmur.
I researched everything I could about feline cancer and it's treatment ... current and alternative methods. I immediately started him on curcuvet (curcumin/tumeric) but 3 months later another tumor sprouted, same area. After his second operation he began to fall ill again only to find out this time it was his heart condition. After the heart scan procedure the prescribed meds seem to do the trick.
I tried another alternative cancer concoction called Life One but Leo would NOT let me syringe it into his mouth after the first time. He fought tooth and nail. I continued with the curcuvet and tried another treatment called Carnivora (supposedly used by Ronald Reagan after his cancer discovery). Even so the cancer came back after 3 months and this time with a vengeance but internally and externally.
On a fluke I found a website forum touting MMS and thought I had nothing to lose. By now Leo had lost the use of one leg and his tail was hanging lifeless. I found a local MMS contact and purchased a kit and was given instructions on how to use with a cat. Meanwhile Leo's condition was quite grave.
I began to use the MMS as prescribed, internally and externally. Internally I could not tell what was happening but externally I noticed the tumors stopped growing. After a week they began to shrink and a few days after that they "scabbed off."
Leo had even gained a pound and a half back. Unfortunately, he was so weak and his quality of life so poor I couldn't bear to see him like that just for the sake of this medical treatment so I euthanized him and have been second guessing my decision ever since.
What I do know is these external tumors were killed off using MMS. The previous ones had to be cut out. The MMS was obviously working. Unfortunately I hadn't found this product earlier in his illness or the result may have been different.
I keep reading incredible testimonials from people who have used this very inexpensive alternative treatment. And then there are the scare tactic warnings from the medical societies. I believe there is a lot of merit to MMS and would not hesitate to use it again, even on myself if necessary.
So I submit my testimonial as a starting point for anyone seeking more information about health alternatives that might just work for you or your pets. Just make sure you do your homework first.MMS - Myth or Miracle? Read more in our Health Matters Section!

Jim Humble The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) takes its regulation job seriously, seemingly targeting anyone who won't - or can't - play ball in its high-dollar industry-giants-only club. Unfortunately for Americans, it seems to have forgotten its edict to promote and protect public health.
Of the products that pass the FDA's “evaluation”, how many cause serious illness or death? LOTS. A few come to mind: NutraSweet (Aspartame) and Saccharin, Avandia, Chantix, Cymbalta, Enbrel, Gadolinium, Heparin, Levaquin, Mesh/Sling Implants, Paxil, Pradaxa, Reglan, Ritalin, Seroquel, Simvastatin/Amiodarone, Tylenol, Yasmin/Yaz, Zicam, many vaccines, and a great many “ food safe" additives the FDA has stamped with their approval. Just watch T.V. and pay attention to the umber of commercials asking people to call an attorney if they have taken any number of “FDA APPROVED” drugs/products that have caused serious harm or death. It is clear, just because the FDA evaluates something as safe, doesn't mean that it is.
So, when a product comes along that actually does have health benefit, the FDA appears to descend upon it in hopes to squash it from existence. Are they merely protecting the interests of the corporate giants and pharmaceutical behemoths that seek to keep us reliant upon dosages of their products? For the average American citizen, the answer seems pretty clear. "I don't trust the government, especially the FDA. The American people are sicker now and more apt to be on some prescription drug than any other time in history. How is this good? They [the FDA] keep attacking natural alternatives like raw cow and goat milk, plant extracts, home gardens and supplements that have proven positive results," says one such citizen, disillusioned with what they call "the bull the FDA is feeding us."
One exciting and reportedly "miraculous" health product is Master Mineral Solution - commonly referred to as MMS or “Cleansing Water”. By mixing MMS (sodium chlorite solution) and citric acid, it chemically generates the compound, chlorine dioxide (ClO2), which is said to have profound positive health benefits.
So now MMS and many involved with the movement are targets of the FDA. As reported in this edition, Daniel Smith, a man from Spokane, Washington whose business sold the ingredients to make chlorine dioxide in the privacy of your own home, had his home raided by federal agents. Subsequently, his case has been reviewed by two grand juries. It was through Daniel's efforts that the US~Observer became involved and has since launched an investigation into the legitimacy of the FDA claims, as well as the validity of MMS as a healing remedy.
The US~Observer has received hundreds of personal accounts of MMS healing users of a myriad of disorders, but we needed the truth in the form of documented fact. Then the US~Observer received the blood work of an individual who had been diagnosed with Hepatitis C. The reports were clear, this person had the disease. Reportedly, after the subject treated himself with MMS, there was no longer any sign of Hepatitis in his blood work!
But, this wasn't the only clinical evidence uncovered.
There was a controlled clinical evaluation of chlorine dioxide (the chemical created by mixing MMS [sodium chlorite] and citric acid) undertaken under the auspices of USEPA HERL #CR805643. It was designed to look into the potential health ramifications on the human body as the EPA was going to begin using chlorine dioxide in water treatment facilities. The outcome of the study as reported in "Controlled Clinical Evaluations of Chlorine Dioxide, Chlorite and Chlorate in Man," by Judith R. Lubbers, Sudha Chauan, and Joseph R. Bianchine:
"The three phases of this controlled double-blind clinical evaluation of chlorine dioxide and its potential metabolites in human male volunteer subjects were completed uneventfully. There were no obvious undesirable clinical sequellae noted by any of the participating subjects or by the observing medical team ... the absence of detrimental physiological responses within the limits of the study, the relative safety of oral ingestion of chlorine dioxide and its metabolites, chlorite and chlorate, was demonstrated."
Also, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), who used Chlorine Dioxide to decontaminate office buildings and mail after the anthrax attacks in 2001, Chlorine Dioxide has:
“...been used since the early 1900s. In 1967, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) initially registered liquid chlorine dioxide as a disinfectant and sanitizer for specific uses, such as animal farms, bottling plants, food processing, handling, and storage plants. It also included other uses, including:
• bleaching pulp and paper • bleaching textiles • washing fruit and vegetables • disinfecting flume water • disinfecting meat and poultry • disinfecting food processing equipment • sanitizing water • controlling odors • treating medical wastes • treating municipal water”
The EPA also says: “Chlorine dioxide kills microorganisms by disrupting transport of nutrients across the cell wall. Chlorine dioxide smells somewhat like chlorine bleach. Chlorine dioxide should not be confused with chlorine gas. They are two distinct chemicals that react differently and produce by-products that have little in common.”
According to the many testimonials of individuals using MMS, it has successfully treated MERSA, cancer, the flu, infections, serious burns, arthritis, arteriosclerosis, stroke, asthma, Lyme disease, diabetes, hepatitis (all strains), leukemia, Lou Gehrig’s disease, HIV, AIDS, Herpes, spider bites, and malaria. It has also been reported that it successfully treats autism.
Basic logic would dictate that if it didn't work, or it caused adverse reactions, there wouldn't be so many who openly and fervently support MMS. There are sites all over the internet touting personal experiences with MMS. Groups on Facebook and even YouTube channels have been dedicated to its benefits. It has literally been used by millions around the globe.
Instead of looking into MMS's potential for the people's common health, the FDA has chosen to strike out at the claims of its benefits. They are doing this primarily because of the amount of positive personal experiences. You see, MMS has not been "evaluated". As such, it is potentially harmful in the eyes of the FDA, and they have even issued an alert on its use. But then again, growing your own garden (and sharing food), or milking your own cows is now dangerous too, at least according to the FDA. Do a search on the internet and see how the FDA is attacking these common practices which have been around since the dawn of time! In fact, it appears that any personal medicinal and food choice is being criminalized at an alarming rate. Soon, we will only be able to eat what they tell us; grow what Monsanto provides us; supplement and medicate ourselves with only the "best" unnatural chemicals created in the labs of the corporate partners to the FDA.
"If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." ~Thomas Jefferson
Who would you trust? A cancer survivor who found life in a natural product, or a government agency that tells you to take products that it deems are safe that actually make you ill? Hmmm... tough question.
Through its research, the US~Observer has found more than enough evidence to expose the FDA for what it is; a scheme, with no constitutional authority to exist. It seems designed to keep some people wealthy while the rest of us are programmed into thinking they are there to help.
As for MMS, the US~Observer is conducting tests and is still collecting testimonials. Anyone with clinical proof of healing is asked to send copies of the evidence to: US~Observer, 233 Rogue River Hwy. PMB 387, Grants Pass, OR, 97527; or via email to editor@usobserver.com.
If you would like to learn more about MMS go to www.genesis2church.org or www.jimhumble.biz.
If you are interested in helping fight the FDA, the US~Observer has set-up a fund to meet that end.

“The story of Harry Hoxsey and his fight with the medical establishment over unorthodox cancer treatment is both a fascinating medical drama and an important historical episode in the development of alternative medicine in the twentieth century. Physicians, patients, medical students, and government officials could all benefit from reading this book.” --Andrew Weil, author of Spontaneous Healing
Harry Hoxsey claimed to cure cancer using herbal remedies, and thousands of patients swore that he healed them. His Texas clinic became the world’s largest privately owned cancer center with branches in seventeen states, and the value of its therapeutic treatments was upheld by two federal courts. Even his arch-nemesis, the AMA, admitted his treatment was effective against some forms of cancer. But the medical establishment refused an investigation, branding Hoxsey the worst cancer quack of the century and forcing his clinic to Tijuana, Mexico, where it continues to claim very high success rates. Modern laboratory tests have confirmed the anticancer properties of Hoxsey’s herbs, and a federal government–sponsored report is now calling for a major reconsideration of the Hoxsey therapy.
When Healing Becomes a Crime exposes the overall failure of the War on Cancer, while revealing how yesterday’s “unorthodox” treatments are emerging as tomorrow’s medicine. It probes other promising unconventional cancer treatments that have also been condemned without investigation, delving deeply into the corrosive medical politics and powerful economic forces behind this suppression. As alternative medicine finally regains its rightful place in mainstream practice, this compelling book will not only forever change the way you see medicine, but could also save your life.
KENNY AUSUBEL is an award-winning author, investigative journalist, and filmmaker. His critically acclaimed documentary film on Hoxsey won the prestigious “Best Censored Stories” journalism award, associated with Bill Moyers. He is the author of Seeds of Change and Restoring the Earth, as well as the founder of the Bioneers Conference and Seeds of Change, Inc. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

This one is also worth looking into especially if you have friends or loved ones that are showing signs of dementia or Alzheimer's. Evidently this one actually works and is CHEAP so you know the drug companies will try to shut it down. If it helps memory that much I think I may give it a try before old age settles in.Is coconut oil the secret cure for Alzheimer's disease? Wednesday, January 05, 2011 by: David Gutierrez, staff writer
(NaturalNews) A doctor says that taking just four teaspoons of coconut oil per day reversed her husband's dementia.
Mary Newport is the medical director of the neonatal intensive care unit of Spring Hill Regional Hospital in Florida. In 2003, her husband Steve began showing symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
"The symptoms of Alzheimer's disease are progressive mental deterioration characterized by an inability to carry out daily activities, a loss of cognitive functions, and a loss of memory functions," writes Tom Bohager in his book Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes.
Alzheimer's disease is fatal, and has no cure. The various drugs on the market have shown only limited effectiveness at slowing the progression of the disease. Indeed, Newport's husband continued to worsen even after being prescribed three different drugs.
"Many days, often for several days in a row, he was in a fog; couldn't find a spoon or remember how to get water out of the refrigerator," Newport said.
Newport began researching the mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease in the hopes of finding alternative treatments. She learned that researchers attribute many of the disease's symptoms to the starvation of certain brain cells due to an inability to process glucose.
Researchers have wondered if supplying the brain with more energy from an alternative supply known as ketones might prevent this cell death and thereby halt the disease. The easiest way to get the body to produce ketones is to consume medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), a type of fat.
Newport learned that MCT oil derived from coconut or palm kernel oil has shown great promise in treating Alzheimer's, so she began feeding coconut oil to her husband. Within two days, he was showing signs of improvement. Within 60 days, he was once again alert, happy and making jokes. Within a year, he regained the ability to complete self-directed tasks and to run, and experienced great improvements in reading comprehension and short-term memory.
Scans confirm that the atrophy in his brain has come to a complete halt.

FORKS OVER KNIVES
Documentary filmmaker Lee Fulkerson explores the possibility that so-called "diseases of affluence," such as heart disease, can be reversed by simply adjusting our diets to include less processed and animal-based foods. Back in the 1960s, Cornell University nutritional scientist Dr. T. Colin Campbell was working to find a way to feed the citizens of impoverished Third World nations when a trip to the Philippines forever changed the way he thought about food consumption. There, he discovered that the rates of liver cancer among affluent children who subsisted on diets rich in animal-based foods were notably higher than in children consuming plant-based diets. Meanwhile, surgeon Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, head of the Breast Cancer Task Force at Cleveland Clinic, was also discovering that many of the diseases he was seeing in patients were practically nonexistent in areas of the world where people were primarily consuming plant foods. Several subsequent investigations by the researchers (who would not meet each other until the 1980s), including a groundbreaking study in China by Dr. Campbell, led them to the revelation that a whole-food, plant-based diet could prevent, and even reverse, such degenerative conditions as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some forms of cancer. In this film, Fulkerson examines Dr. Campbell's and Dr. Esselstyn's theories by following the two doctors' individual, yet very similar, story arcs, from their farm-based upbringings to their astounding discoveries. The film also records the experiences of a group of patients suffering from chronic maladies as they participate in an experiment in which their diets are substantially altered and wholesome, plant-based food is, essentially, used as medicine.

Brett Hudson: One Mans Struggle www.bretthudson.blogspot.com/Brett Hudson, one of the Hudson Brothers, understands Farrah Fawcett's story of cancer. He was just beds away from her in Germany. He is now cancer free and singing the praises of the German clinic that saved his life. German doctors are on the cutting edge of cancer treatments. Using a whole body approach clinics are getting results when cancer is caught in time. but not all doctors believe this is the case. Hudson went to the Klinic in Germany battling Stage 4 throat cancer in 2007. Most of the treatments he received were alternative. At this point Hudson is said to be cancer free. Hudson has some questions he'd like answered by the United States medical community: “Why do some medicines cost five to ten times more in the United States than they do in Germany? “Why don’t we do chemotherapy sensitivity tests here like they do in Germany and other countries? “And why is the United States of America so far behind in treatment for this horrendous disease?” The Klinic uses many different approach when it comes to treating cancer. Some of the alternative therapies are nutritional supplements, detoxification, biological/nontoxic treatments that include phytotherapy, mistletoe, hormones, cytokines, biological response modifiers, immune therapy, hyperthermia, Galvanotherapy, and psychological therapies including group therapy, guided imagery and art therapy. While the Klinic has had positive feedback there is also negative reports on the clinic. Patients are often not told that they will need to return for additional treatments upfront. The cost is roughly $6,000 a week but some treatments can quickly up that price. There are reports that patients are told that their tumors have been reduced or that the cancer has been cured without testing to verify that claim. The most positive reports are those from prostate cancer patients. Not all doctors are behind the programs used in Germany. Dr. Robert McIntosh, MB BS, FRACP of Australia is one who questions the treatments. He has a personal interest, his sister-in-law Robyn died at the clinic after going there fro a last chance at beating breast cancer. Dr. McIntosh is very leery of some of the treatments used at the medical centers in Germany. McIntosh listed several concerns about his sister-in-law's choice to go to the German clinic where she died. The last of those concerns is quoted in his online paper: Robyn lost what she most sought: to live. It is very likely that appropriate treatment of the superior vena caval obstruction would have prolonged her life significantly. Robyn died from a complication of her cancer rather than the cancer itself. It is inconceivable that this diagnosis would have been missed by her original oncologist or any other competent physician. On the day of her death she was given drugs to lower her blood pressure on the erroneous premise that her rapid heart rate was due to heart failure, despite the fact that she was profoundly shocked. These medications almost certainly hastened her death. Read more: www.digitaljournal.com/article/272936#ixzz20pZ66Ne4

Bought some organic Coconut Oil at Costco this past weekend. If I can only remember to take it. Very tasty and better than vegetable oils for cooking but I don't think you will get the properties needed from it if it is heated but at least it will make the food taste better.

This was one of the better and most informative shows on coast. Some of the highlights were: Diabetes is caused by high iron so if you reduce your iron load you won't have diabetes. Heart Disease can be cured with chondroiton sulfate. Cancer cure is something called glucophage Quercitan will get rid of gerd or heartburn. Longevenex or resveratrol is a cure-all. Natural RemediesDate: 10-21-12 Host: George Knapp Guests: Bill Sardi Joining George Knapp, consumer advocate and natural health expert, Bill Sardi, discussed the truth behind natural remedies, the bias within the medical establishment against natural products, and how studies are rigged and promising cures buried. Regarding heart disease, he cited the work of Dr. Lester Morrison, who provided evidence that it could be reversed using the supplement chondroitin sulfate, years before statin drugs flooded the market. Statin drugs do not prevent mortal heart attacks, Sardi noted. He stated that the antioxidant resveratrol has shown promise fighting heart disease, but the mainstream medical community has shunned studying its value for this kind of issue. Sardi further claimed that research into resveratrol has found it has beneficial properties as an antidepressant, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and as a blood thinner. The supplement has additionally been shown to successfully fight macular degeneration, a medical condition in which older adults may lose their vision, he said. Sardi also cited Vitamin D and Fish Oil as products that treat a host of ailments, as well as a new kind of potential treatment for alcoholism and addiction, targeting the Gaba A receptor, to be made by the company Blue California. Studies of various health supplements and herbs are often slanted or misleading, Sardi reported. For instance, researchers sometimes will use an ineffective dose, or a dose that is toxic at higher levels. People like to think that more is better when it comes to natural supplements and vitamins, but such products have an optimal dosage that requires balance, he continued. One reason doctors may not be motivated to suggest natural treatments to their patients is that they have a financial incentive-- they receive a "drug consultation fee," for every prescription they write out, Sardi revealed. On the flip side, consumers should be especially cautious purchasing supplements over the Internet, as the FDA doesn't regulate the products of overseas and offshore companies, he noted.

Jim Humble The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) takes its regulation job seriously, seemingly targeting anyone who won't - or can't - play ball in its high-dollar industry-giants-only club. Unfortunately for Americans, it seems to have forgotten its edict to promote and protect public health.
Of the products that pass the FDA's “evaluation”, how many cause serious illness or death? LOTS. A few come to mind: NutraSweet (Aspartame) and Saccharin, Avandia, Chantix, Cymbalta, Enbrel, Gadolinium, Heparin, Levaquin, Mesh/Sling Implants, Paxil, Pradaxa, Reglan, Ritalin, Seroquel, Simvastatin/Amiodarone, Tylenol, Yasmin/Yaz, Zicam, many vaccines, and a great many “ food safe" additives the FDA has stamped with their approval. Just watch T.V. and pay attention to the umber of commercials asking people to call an attorney if they have taken any number of “FDA APPROVED” drugs/products that have caused serious harm or death. It is clear, just because the FDA evaluates something as safe, doesn't mean that it is.
So, when a product comes along that actually does have health benefit, the FDA appears to descend upon it in hopes to squash it from existence. Are they merely protecting the interests of the corporate giants and pharmaceutical behemoths that seek to keep us reliant upon dosages of their products? For the average American citizen, the answer seems pretty clear. "I don't trust the government, especially the FDA. The American people are sicker now and more apt to be on some prescription drug than any other time in history. How is this good? They [the FDA] keep attacking natural alternatives like raw cow and goat milk, plant extracts, home gardens and supplements that have proven positive results," says one such citizen, disillusioned with what they call "the bull the FDA is feeding us."
One exciting and reportedly "miraculous" health product is Master Mineral Solution - commonly referred to as MMS or “Cleansing Water”. By mixing MMS (sodium chlorite solution) and citric acid, it chemically generates the compound, chlorine dioxide (ClO2), which is said to have profound positive health benefits.
So now MMS and many involved with the movement are targets of the FDA. As reported in this edition, Daniel Smith, a man from Spokane, Washington whose business sold the ingredients to make chlorine dioxide in the privacy of your own home, had his home raided by federal agents. Subsequently, his case has been reviewed by two grand juries. It was through Daniel's efforts that the US~Observer became involved and has since launched an investigation into the legitimacy of the FDA claims, as well as the validity of MMS as a healing remedy.
The US~Observer has received hundreds of personal accounts of MMS healing users of a myriad of disorders, but we needed the truth in the form of documented fact. Then the US~Observer received the blood work of an individual who had been diagnosed with Hepatitis C. The reports were clear, this person had the disease. Reportedly, after the subject treated himself with MMS, there was no longer any sign of Hepatitis in his blood work!
But, this wasn't the only clinical evidence uncovered.
There was a controlled clinical evaluation of chlorine dioxide (the chemical created by mixing MMS [sodium chlorite] and citric acid) undertaken under the auspices of USEPA HERL #CR805643. It was designed to look into the potential health ramifications on the human body as the EPA was going to begin using chlorine dioxide in water treatment facilities. The outcome of the study as reported in "Controlled Clinical Evaluations of Chlorine Dioxide, Chlorite and Chlorate in Man," by Judith R. Lubbers, Sudha Chauan, and Joseph R. Bianchine:
"The three phases of this controlled double-blind clinical evaluation of chlorine dioxide and its potential metabolites in human male volunteer subjects were completed uneventfully. There were no obvious undesirable clinical sequellae noted by any of the participating subjects or by the observing medical team ... the absence of detrimental physiological responses within the limits of the study, the relative safety of oral ingestion of chlorine dioxide and its metabolites, chlorite and chlorate, was demonstrated."
Also, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), who used Chlorine Dioxide to decontaminate office buildings and mail after the anthrax attacks in 2001, Chlorine Dioxide has:
“...been used since the early 1900s. In 1967, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) initially registered liquid chlorine dioxide as a disinfectant and sanitizer for specific uses, such as animal farms, bottling plants, food processing, handling, and storage plants. It also included other uses, including:
• bleaching pulp and paper • bleaching textiles • washing fruit and vegetables • disinfecting flume water • disinfecting meat and poultry • disinfecting food processing equipment • sanitizing water • controlling odors • treating medical wastes • treating municipal water”
The EPA also says: “Chlorine dioxide kills microorganisms by disrupting transport of nutrients across the cell wall. Chlorine dioxide smells somewhat like chlorine bleach. Chlorine dioxide should not be confused with chlorine gas. They are two distinct chemicals that react differently and produce by-products that have little in common.”
According to the many testimonials of individuals using MMS, it has successfully treated MERSA, cancer, the flu, infections, serious burns, arthritis, arteriosclerosis, stroke, asthma, Lyme disease, diabetes, hepatitis (all strains), leukemia, Lou Gehrig’s disease, HIV, AIDS, Herpes, spider bites, and malaria. It has also been reported that it successfully treats autism.
Basic logic would dictate that if it didn't work, or it caused adverse reactions, there wouldn't be so many who openly and fervently support MMS. There are sites all over the internet touting personal experiences with MMS. Groups on Facebook and even YouTube channels have been dedicated to its benefits. It has literally been used by millions around the globe.
Instead of looking into MMS's potential for the people's common health, the FDA has chosen to strike out at the claims of its benefits. They are doing this primarily because of the amount of positive personal experiences. You see, MMS has not been "evaluated". As such, it is potentially harmful in the eyes of the FDA, and they have even issued an alert on its use. But then again, growing your own garden (and sharing food), or milking your own cows is now dangerous too, at least according to the FDA. Do a search on the internet and see how the FDA is attacking these common practices which have been around since the dawn of time! In fact, it appears that any personal medicinal and food choice is being criminalized at an alarming rate. Soon, we will only be able to eat what they tell us; grow what Monsanto provides us; supplement and medicate ourselves with only the "best" unnatural chemicals created in the labs of the corporate partners to the FDA.
"If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." ~Thomas Jefferson
Who would you trust? A cancer survivor who found life in a natural product, or a government agency that tells you to take products that it deems are safe that actually make you ill? Hmmm... tough question.
Through its research, the US~Observer has found more than enough evidence to expose the FDA for what it is; a scheme, with no constitutional authority to exist. It seems designed to keep some people wealthy while the rest of us are programmed into thinking they are there to help.
As for MMS, the US~Observer is conducting tests and is still collecting testimonials. Anyone with clinical proof of healing is asked to send copies of the evidence to: US~Observer, 233 Rogue River Hwy. PMB 387, Grants Pass, OR, 97527; or via email to editor@usobserver.com.
If you would like to learn more about MMS go to www.genesis2church.org or www.jimhumble.biz.
If you are interested in helping fight the FDA, the US~Observer has set-up a fund to meet that end. Poor Leo. Sounds like you did everything you could and then some. Rob when it gets to the point where the animal is suffering sometimes we have to do this. Hurts like hell. He looked so happy in his little bed. This happened to me with my 16 yr old doberman, we tried everything to keep her alive and comfortable.. and one day she just sort of looked at me like.. I don't want to go through this anymore.. heartbreaking. Yes, it's good to research. maybe you should have become a vet. I know a vet in so ca who treats all domestic animals but he really just specializes in birds and saving them. Thanks for sharing Leo's story.

Manuka Honey
Manuka honey is produced in New Zealand by bees that pollinate the native manuka bush. Advocates say it treats wound infections and other conditions.
WebMD takes a look at what the science says about using manuka honey as a medicine.
Healing Power of Honey Honey has been used since ancient times to treat multiple conditions. It wasn't until the late 19th century that researchers discovered that honey has natural antibacterial qualities. Honey protects against damage caused by bacteria. Some honey also stimulates production of special cells that can repair tissue damaged by infection. In addition, honey has an anti-inflammatory action that can quickly reduce pain and inflammation once it is applied.
But not all honey is the same. The antibacterial quality of honey depends on the type of honey as well as when and how it's harvested. Some kinds of honey may be 100 times more potent than others.
Components of Manuka Honey Hydrogen peroxide is a component of honey. It gives most honey its antibiotic quality. But some types of honey, including manuka honey, also have other components with antibacterial qualities.
The major antibacterial component in manuka honey is methylglyoxal (MG). MG is a compound found in most types of honey, but usually only in small quantities.
In manuka honey, MG comes from the conversion of another compound -- dihydroxyacetone -- that is found in high concentration in the nectar of manuka flowers.
MG gives manuka honey its antibacterial power. The higher the concentration of MG, the stronger the antibiotic effect.
Honey producers have developed a scale for rating the potency of manuka honey. The rating is called UMF, which stands for Unique Manuka Factor.
The UMF rating corresponds with the concentration of MG. Not all honey labeled as manuka honey contains significant levels of MG. To be considered potent enough to be therapeutic, manuka honey needs a minimum rating of 10 UMF. Honey at or above that level is marketed as "UMF Manuka Honey" or "Active Manuka Honey."
How Manuka Honey Is Used The main medical use for manuka honey is on top of a wound. It is generally used for treating minor wounds and burns.
Manuka honey is also marketed for use in many other conditions. These include:
Preventing and treating cancer Reducing high cholesterol Reducing systemic inflammation Treating diabetes Treating eye, ear, and sinus infections Treating gastrointestinal problems But the evidence is limited on whether or not manuka honey is effective for these conditions.
The honey used to treat wounds is a medical-grade honey. It is specially sterilized and prepared as a dressing. So the jar of manuka honey in the pantry should not be considered part of a first aid kit. Wounds and infections should be seen and treated by a health care professional.
What the Science Says About Manuka Honey Several recent studies show manuka honey is effective when used on top of wounds and leg ulcers. Studies also show it's effective in fighting infection and promoting healing.
But not all studies show that it helps to heal ulcers. And there is concern that manuka honey may actually delay healing in people who have ulcers related to diabetes.
The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database lists honey as being "possibly effective" to treat burns and wounds. The Cochrane Review notes that honey may shorten healing times in mild burns compared with traditional dressings. However, honey dressings do not increase leg ulcer healing at 12 weeks even when used with compression wraps.
Another recent study suggests that manuka honey may be effective in preventing gingivitis and other periodontal disease by reducing the buildup of plaque. And in 2010, the scientific steering committee of the National Cancer Institute approved a proposal for the use of manuka honey for the reduction of inflammation of the esophagus associated with chemotherapy.
Another possible benefit of honey is that, unlike antibiotics, it has not been reported to cause development of resistant bacteria. These so-called "superbugs" develop after repeated exposure to common antibiotics. They require special antibiotics to treat them.
So far, studies have not shown manuka honey to be effective for treating high cholesterol or balancing the bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
Also, no major studies have looked at the effect of manuka honey on cancer, diabetes, or fungal infections.
Possible Side Effects of Manuka Honey The possible side effects of manuka honey are:
Allergic reaction, especially in people who are allergic to bees Risk of a rise in blood sugar Possible interaction with certain chemotherapy drugs Most of the studies on manuka honey have been with small numbers of patients. More studies are needed to decide if it is safe and effective for various medical conditions.

Consumer advocate and natural health expert, Bill Sardi, suggests natural remedies for various ailments, which he believes the medical and pharmaceutical establishment are trying to keep hidden. In response to his previous C2C show appearance, he prepared a special follow-up report
knowledgeofhealth.com/special-follow-up-report-coast-to-coast-radio-listeners-george-knapp/
on various remedies he'd discussed including a natural extract from the Asian raisin tree (marketed as BluCetin) that is said to reduce alcohol cravings, lower blood alcohol levels, and reduce hangover symptoms.
Eye specialist Dr. Stuart Richer
eyedoctorricher.com/
discusses how nutritional supplements are being successfully used to curb macular degeneration and vision problems.
Sardi speaks about how people don't get enough natural Vitamin D, especially in the winter, and the importance of supplementing with it. For people going into surgery or the hospital, we could dramatically cut mortality and infection rates if they would take Vitamin D,
www.vitamindcouncil.org/
as it overcomes antibiotic resistant bacteria, he contended. He also recommended resveratrol for a host of issues, and pumpkin seed oil for prostrate problems. "Let's get ahead and have patient-driven medicine instead of doctor-driven medicine or Big Pharma-driven medicine," he declared.

Responsible Natural Health Newsfoodallergybook.net/There are some great studies and suggestions at this site. Heartburn Solved: How to Reverse Acid Reflux and GERD NaturallyTags: acid reflux, antacids, GERD, heartburn, reflux disease, traditional medicine Heartburn Solved: How to Reverse Acid Reflux and GERD Naturally by Case Adams, PhD, California Naturopath
Heartburn leading to acid reflux disease, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) seems pretty simple, right? Just an issue of too much stomach acid, right? Not so fast. The mass media, internet and conventional medicine have largely mischaracterized this condition – affecting millions and growing each year – for decades. “Heartburn Solved” identifies the real causes for this condition and lays out simple and low-cost natural solutions that physicians and their patients can readily employ. “Heartburn Solved” is not an anecdotal essay of opinionated conjecture. The author’s groundbreaking scientific findings are supported by nearly a thousand clinical studies and hundreds of references from traditional medicines around the world, forming the most comprehensive alternative health treatise on GERD available today.

Everyone needs to read this and watch this video. People with MS, Lupis, Fibromyalgia and other auto-immune diseases are becoming symptom free by LDN.
Another treatment with amazing results is intravenous alpha lipoic acid, especially for people with liver ailments.Alternative MedicineFirst hour guest, writer and medical advocate Julia Schopick talked about several effective treatments that have largely been ignored by the medical community. Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) has been found to boost and modulate the immune system, and works more like a supplement than a drug, she reported. LDN has worked well as a treatment for HIV/AIDS, various auto-immune disorders, and a host of other conditions (PDF list), she sad. Schopick also cited intravenous alpha-lipoic acid as a possible cancer treatment. www.honestmedicine.com/Never-Before-Seen Video of Dr. Bernard Bihari (LDN Pioneer and Champion) Released on the First Anniversary of His Death (May 16, 2011) Exactly one year ago to the day, thousands of patients with autoimmune diseases lost their most beloved champion: Bernard Bihari, MD. As most of us know, Dr. Bihari was the genius who discovered that a very low dose of naltrexone, a drug that had been approved at a higher dose by the FDA for another purpose entirely, could help people with some of the most difficult-to-treat diseases. Thanks to Dr. Bihari, tens of thousands (some say hundreds of thousands) of people with multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, HIV/AIDS and even cancer are now living better lives. Many are now symptom-free. Dr. Bihari is one of my personal heroes, and one of the heroes of my book, HONEST MEDICINE. As a tribute to him on this first anniversary of his death, Dr. Bihari’s widow (and my dear friend) Jackie Young, has entrusted me with a video from 2002, never before seen on the Internet. Jackie has asked me to share this treasure with you today. This video is more than one hour of Dr. Bihari talking about his life and his work with LDN. Rather than dividing the video into 10-minute segments for YouTube, I have opted to include it in its entirety here. In addition, I have transcribed the entire video so that you can read Dr. Bihari’s words. And, so that you can easily find the parts of the video you want to watch first, I have included a timeline. Just drag the cursor to the sections you want to watch first; then come back and watch other sections at your leisure. It’s a wonderful video, with lots of great information. I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to see Dr. Bihari, up close and personal, as he was in 2002. And I also hope you’ll take the time to leave messages for Jackie, his beloved partner for so many years, in the comments section below.

honestmedicine.typepad.com/National-Brain-Tumor-Foundation-Article.pdfSilverlon: The “Honest Medicine” Treatment that Started It All © Julia Schopick More Sharing ServicesShare
The following is one in an ongoing series of columns entitled Honest Medicine by Julia Schopick .View all columns in series I ended my last Healthy.net column by telling you that my life’s mission since my husband Tim’s death in 2005 has been to educate the public about treatments that are effective and innovative, but that most conventional doctors don’t know about yet. Even worse, when doctors find out about these treatments from their patients, they often refuse to prescribe them because—in their own words—these treatments “are not the standard of care.”
Despite doctors' refusal or ignorance, people are discovering these treatments on their own, thanks to the Internet, and to all the patient advocates who are spreading the word through their websites, blogs and books.
In my book, HONEST MEDICINE, I feature four such treatments that have been effectively treating (and, in some cases, curing) such serious illnesses and conditions as multiple sclerosis, lupus, Crohn’s disease, pediatric epilepsy, liver disease, some cancers and non-healing wounds for many years. And even before the publication of my book, I was writing about treatments like these on my award-winning blog.
The treatment that started me on this quest is Silverlon, a simple mesh cloth impregnated with silver ions. Silverlon literally saved Tim’s life in 2002, when his doctors’ treatments—repeated surgeries—were only making his condition (a non-healing head wound following brain tumor surgery) worse. This experience dramatically changed my understanding of how doctors treat patients, and what we can do to help ourselves get the treatments we need—treatments that can improve and even save lives. To summarize this paradigm-shifting experience: In 2001, Tim walked into the hospital for a brain tumor surgery in relatively good condition. He sailed through the surgery itself, only to experience skin that wouldn't heal along the suture line.
For eight months, doctors performed yet more surgeries—eight in all—whose sole purpose was to find two pieces of skin that would hold together. They even performed one surgery where they took pieces of skin—grafts—from other parts of his body. None of these surgeries worked. In fact, they only made him worse, until finally, he was severely brain injured and paralyzed from the surgical assaults on his body. Desperately in search of solutions, through a doctor friend I found Silverlon, and it worked literally overnight.
Yet, to my surprise (shock, really), although Tim's doctors witnessed this miracle firsthand, not one of them showed the slightest interest in learning about this treatment—a treatment which is FDA-approved for ALL non-healing wounds.
To make matters worse, Tim’s doctors all warned me that our success might have been a fluke. In any case, they were quite sure it was “anecdotal.” Of course, I knew it was neither a fluke, nor anecdotal. I'd seen the benefits of Silverlon firsthand. And so had they.
Upset that Tim’s doctors weren’t at all interested in learning about Silverlon, I reached out to the National Brain Tumor Foundation, and wrote an article for their newsletter, SEARCH (http://honestmedicine.typepad.com/National-Brain-Tumor-Foundation-Article.pdf). Naïvely, I hoped that other doctors would read my article and become excited about Silverlon—and that our success would be repeated many times over in the years to come for other brain tumor patients with non-healing wounds. It didn’t happen then. And it still hasn’t happened. I hope that my book and my articles (like this one) will provide the necessary impetus for people to learn about Silverlon and the other treatments I write about.

Ketogenic Diet
With two out of three people in the USA overweight or obese, the interest in diets and weight loss has never been higher. With so many diets to choose from, selecting the right one can be difficult, especially because of the contradictory information surrounding many of the popular eating plans. One of the more controversial approaches to weight loss is the ketogenic diet, which represents the polar opposite of what many people consider a healthy way to eat and lose weight.
What Is a Ketogenic Diet? "The Ketogenic Diet," by John M. Freeman, Jennifer B. Freeman and Millicent T. Kelly, defines a ketogenic diet as a very low-carbohydrate, moderate-protein and high-fat approach to weight loss. There are numerous variations of this style of eating, but the most well-known is the Atkins diet. By eliminating carbohydrates from your diet, you force your body to convert fat and protein into ketone bodies, also known as ketones. Your brain and muscles then use these ketones for fuel. This process is very uneconomical and results in weight loss despite of the large amounts of fat being consumed.
About Ketosis Ketosis describes the metabolic shift your body has to go through to stop getting energy from carbohydrates and switch to using ketones for fuel. This metabolic shift can take a few days to occur once you have eliminated carbs from your diet. It is during this pre-shift period that some ketogenic dieters feel nauseous and weak or develop headaches. Once you have made the metabolic shift to using ketones for energy, these symptoms usually subside. To place your body into ketosis, you should consume less than 50 g of carbohydrate a day. Most carbohydrate-based diets consist of 300 g of carbohydrate or more per day.
Advantages and Benefits of Ketogenic Diets Ketogenic diets result in a rapid and significant initial weight loss. This weight loss jump-start can be very motivational. Because the process of ketosis is so energy inefficient, most ketogenic diets do not enforce any kind of portion control. As long as you eat only protein and fat, you should lose weight regardless of how much you consume. This means you should never be hungry on a ketogenic diet. According to "Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution: The No-hunger, Luxurious Weight Loss Plan That Really Works!" by Robert C. Atkins, ketogenic diets are straightforward to implement---simply eliminate all carbohydrate-based foods such as fruit, starchy vegetables and all grains and sugars. Instead, consume plenty of meat, fish, eggs and cheese with selected low-carb/no-carb vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, lettuce, cucumber and mushrooms.
Ketogenic Diets and Rapid Weight Loss Your body stores carbohydrate within your muscles in the form of glycogen. Glycogen is a glucose molecule bound with water molecules. When you eliminate carbohydrates from your diet, your body will use your muscle glycogen for energy. As your glycogen stores diminish, so does the water. Water is heavy---one pint of water weighs around a pound---so the dramatic weight loss reported by many ketogenic diets is, in fact, water weight and not fat. Fat loss only becomes apparent later in the diet, once full ketosis occurs.
Disadvantages and Precautions Many mainstream nutritionists have reservations about the safety of long-term ketogenic diets. Some cite the lack of calcium, fiber, vitamins and minerals, while others point out the link between high fat intake and coronary heart disease. However, experts that are for ketogenic diets list numerous cultures that thrive on this type of diet, including Eskimos and the Masai Mara of Kenya, who survive exclusively on high-protein/high-fat diets. Ketogenic dieters often feel unwell in the first seven to 10 days of eliminating carbohydrates, and many fail to make the metabolic shift to using ketones for energy instead of glucose. Many dieters find it hard to comply long term to ketogenic diets and decide that their cravings for foods such as bread, cereals and pasta are impossible to ignore.

KETO PETwww.ketopet.com/We can formulate ketogenic pet foods similar to those used in a variety of human medical conditions. Although health benefits of these diets have been well-studied in people and well-researched in animal models, Ketopet is the first to make ketogenic food to solely benefit pet health. While diet alone isn't always effective and can't guarantee an outcome, your expectations should be based on many years of animal studies and outcomes in people suggesting ketogenic diets help improve the health of animals and people with serious conditions like cancer, epilepsy, ALS, obesity, and diabetes. How Ketogenic Diets Work The ketogenic diet is based on consuming high amounts of fat, sufficient protein and very low to zero carbohydrates. Developed in the early 20th century, it is now specifically used for therapeutic intervention. This high fat diet was initially developed to minimize the risks of epileptic seizures in young children. The diet also became popular as a way to burn away unwanted fats. However, even as a weight loss tool, medical science considers the ketogenic diet a serious medical treatment for obesity and not a fad diet. Finally, Noble Prize winner Otto Warburg's research showed that ketogenic diets kill cancer cells and prevent tumors from growing in animals more than 50 years ago. He suggested that cancer was a "metabolic disorder" caused by problems with mitochondria and not a "genetic disease" caused by problem with the cell's DNA. Warburg's theory was rejected, however, after years and years of science failing to find a single cure for cancer, he is now being proven right and his theory is gaining acceptance. Ketogenic diets are now being used to stop or slow the growth of tumors, especially in those with glioblastoma, an aggressively fatal brain cancer. Ketogenic Diet - Basic Information In absence of carbohydrates (glucose and other sugars) in our diet, it is normal for the body to undergo fat metabolism and generate energy. During the process of breaking down fats, large amounts of ketone bodies are produced as a by product by the liver. This metabolic state is called ketosis. In other words, ketosis is an unusual metabolic state wherein energy is produced from fats and not glucose. How does the Ketogenic Diet Work for Epilepsy? In a medical survey, children having epileptic problems or seizures were allowed to follow the ketogenic diet stringently for a certain period. The results were quite impressive; one out of every two children achieved prompt recovery, while it helped two out of three participants in reducing seizures. So, how does the ketogenic diet actually work for treating epileptic children? There is no clear answer regarding ‘how ketogenic diet works’. But one thing is understandable – this diet strategy is focused on producing more ketone bodies by boosting fat metabolism and then, using them for fueling purposes. These mimic natural metabolic responses that take place when the body is exposed to starvation for some time. Effectiveness of inhibiting seizures by fasting method or starvation has been known for many years. Medical experts are of the opinion that starvation effects triggered by consuming ketogenic diet and accumulated ketones work collectively in inhibiting epileptic seizure. Some children show little or no response to the therapeutic drugs. For such cases of difficult-to-control epilepsy, the ketogenic diet is more effective than the conventional epileptic medications in suppressing seizures. Thus, in the last few decades, this diet approach has gained popularity for natural treatment of epileptic children. How does the Ketogenic Diet Work for Cancer? The biological process by which normal cells are transformed into malignant cancer cells has been the subject of an enormous research effort for more than a century. Despite this effort, cures or long-term management strategies for cancers are as challenging today as they were 40 years ago when President Nixon used the National Cancer Act to declare a war on cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, the U.S. saw 569,490 people die of cancer in 2010 - that's about 1,500 people a day! The fact that the number of deaths in 2002 was 555,500 demonstrates no real progress in management over an 8-year period. All one needs to do is read the obituary pages from any local newspaper to know that the "cancer war" is not going well. However, we're now at the precipice of a paradigm shift in which cancer is being proven not to be a "genetic disorder" but a "metabolic disease" best addressed by treatments that attack cancer cells in a whole new way. A ketogenic diet can be used as a therapeutic that eliminates cancer or controls the disease's progress by switching the body's primary metabolism to a fat-based energy source called ketones rather than using glucose (sugar) derived almost entirely from eating carbohydrates. Because cancer cells require glucose to live but normal cells can use glucose or ketones, an effective therapeutic diet starves cancer cells. How does the Ketogenic Diet Work for Obesity? Weight loss is pretty straightforward and easy to understand when it comes to the ketogenic diet. The diet is designed to turn your metabolism into a fat burning machine. Most of the fats are provided by the foods your eat - meat, butter, cream, and oils like olive and coconut oil. However, the more you limit the number of calories in your diet - e.g., the less food you eat - the more your body uses your own fat stores as energy. Unlike fad diets, that often simply decrease weight by depleting the body of water weight, the ketogenic diet actually burns up the fat cells and, as a consequence, they are removed as if it were done by a liposuction procedure. Less fat cells means less "useless weight" and more energy to use for other things besides moving useless weight from one couch to another. By the way, the ketogenic diet includes adequate protein to insure that the body's muscles, unlike the body's fat, are not catabolized (cannibalized for metabolism) to feed itself.

Fox, whose turn from Parkinson’s disease patient to scientific crusader made him one of the country’s most visible advocates for stem cell research, now believes the controversial therapy may not ultimately yield a cure for his disease, he told ABC’s Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview.
There have been “problems along the way,” Fox said of stem cell studies, for which he has long advocated. Instead, he said, new drug therapies are showing real promise and are “closer today” to providing a cure for Parkinson’s disease, a degenerative illness that over time causes the body to become rigid and the brain to shut down.
“Stem cells are an avenue of research that we’ve pursued and continue to pursue but it’s part of a broad portfolio of things that we look at. There have been some issues with stem cells, some problems along the way,” said Fox, who suffers from the diseases’ telltale tics and tremors.
“It’s not so much that [stem cell research has] diminished in its prospects for breakthroughs as much as it’s the other avenues of research have grown and multiplied and become as much or more promising. So, an answer may come from stem cell research but it’s more than likely to come from another area,” he said.
Tune in to “World News with Diane Sawyer” Friday at 6:30 p.m. E.T. to see more of Diane Sawyer’s interview with Michael J. Fox
Fox, who recently appeared in episodes of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “The Good Wife,” has dedicated himself to finding a cure for Parkinson’s, the disease with which he was diagnosed in 1991.
Fox said he still strongly believes in stem cell research and government support of those studies, praising ongoing research at New York’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital. When asked about earlier criticism he received from conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh about his advocacy, Fox said it only “sharpens your resolve.”
Scientists are conducting research and looking for a cure on multiple fronts, Fox said, including drug therapies, experimental surgeries, and developing tests to help make earlier diagnoses.
To that end, his Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, the largest private funder of Parkinson’s disease research worldwide, has recently launched an online initiative to increase studies across the country by pairing patients with clinical trials in their areas.
The Fox Trial Finder (Visit FoxTrialFinder.org for more info on clinical trial participation) harnesses the power of the Internet to find patients and, based on their profile of symptoms, pair them with research scientists conducting clinical trials.
Thirty percent of all clinical trials fail to recruit a single subject, according to the foundation’s web site, and many more, some 85 percent, are delayed because scientists are unable to find enough participants.
“People can fill out a form anonymously… and then we can let them know about… clinical trials happening in their area,” Fox said.
Some 200 trials are currently seeking recruits through the website, but one of the most promising will “try to find a biomarker for Parkinson’s, which is really important,” Fox said.
By the time Fox was diagnosed 20 years ago, he said, 80 percent of the dopamine cells in his brain – neurons instrumental in sending the signals that control movement – were depleted.
“We have no way to identify the disease before symptoms appear. If we can target progress along the way, we can arrest progress and eliminate the possibility of symptoms,” he said, adding that this area of research is “the most exciting.”
Fox, an actor who grew up in front of the camera on the 1980s sitcom “Family Ties” and starred in the “Back to the Future” film franchise, worried about the future of his career after announcing his diagnosis in 1998 and leaving the hit show “Spin City.”
In the years since, he has led the Fox Foundation, which has donated more than $300 million to Parkinson’s research. In recent months, however, he has returned to acting more regularly, the result he says, of a new drug regimen that helps control his tics, or dyskinesia.
“I kind of stumbled onto a new combination of meds for what’s called dyskinesia… Now I thought, there’s no reason not to work so I started to accept more work. Larry David called and had a terrific idea and the ‘Good Wife’ is such a terrific show,” he said of his decisions to appear on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and the CBS series “The Good Wife.”
Fox said that each morning he is uncertain exactly how his symptoms will affect him that day. Some mornings he can delay taking his first dose of medicine for a few hours, other days he expects a greater challenge.
“I don’t write off the day ahead of time because of that, it just means it’s going be tougher sledding,” he said.
Having struggled with the disease for years himself, Fox understands its devastating effects and the physical challenges it presents.
He said it was an abiding sense of optimism, a topic on which he has written two books, that allows him to carry on, even on the most difficult days. In 2009, he traveled to the Asian country Bhutan, which emphasizes happiness over productivity, and said he found his symptoms diminished there.
“People talk about me being a paragon of optimism and hope and all that stuff,” he said. ”I have a really blessed life, I have an amazing life.”abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2012/05/18/michael-j-fox-looks-past-stem-cells-in-search-for-parkinsons-cure/

There are so many different types of cancers as well as causes for them. Heredity, environment and contamination, stress, etc. It is a lot like the Kennedy assassination. So many wanted him dead and had hired guns to kill him that we aren't sure who actually did it.

Looking forward to using this product for multiple ailments in my cats. Ailments for which Vets cannot treat other than treat symptoms and eventually euthanize. I have used colloidal silver with great results for other things but this product appears to be the best of the best. I look forward to trying it on kittens with FIP, leukemia, FIV, skin disorders, stomatitis, cancer, etc. I believe it is that good. Watch this video and see for yourself. It has been studied extensively. If you are going to spend your money on silver, don't waste it on untested products or silver generators. Use this product:

I think tradional medicine has done wonders (in many cases) to cure people of cancer but in many cases NOT. There are alternatives that should be explored and ALLOWED. They should also be tested for efficacy and if these alternatives don't work then we need to know. There are many types of cancer and many causes so unfortunately one size does not fit all. But we need proper studies on everything.

(NaturalNews) (UPDATE: Registration is now open for The Truth About Cancer (FREE). The videos start streaming for free on April 12th. Click here to register now.) In case you didn't notice, we are living in an age of extreme medical censorship. Over the last week or so, we've all watched in fascination as the entire mainstream media called for the outright censorship of a vaccine documentary they had never even seen. That documentary -- "VAXXED" -- was so dangerous to the medical establishment that orders went out to the media to attack it and destroy it. Similarly, a book called "A Mind of Your Own," authored by a holistic doctor named Dr. Kelly Brogan, was blackballed by the entire mainstream media after orders went out to crush the book. It recommends a holistic, nutrition-based approach to mental health while exposing the lies and science fraud behind antidepressants and SSRI drugs. Now, the shocking docu-series known as The Truth About Cancer, is about to be re-launched to the public beginning April 12. And right on cue, the drug-pushing media science trolls will be either ignoring it or attacking it, depending on what orders they receive from Big Pharma. Mind-blowing, lifesaving information that could collapse the for-profit cancer industry This docu-series is so powerful that it threatens to collapse the for-profit cancer industry. That industry earns its revenues based on repeat business from cancer treatments that don't prevent cancer or reverse cancer. Instead, today's fraudulent cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation actually CAUSE more cancer! The absolute last thing the cancer industry wants is for knowledge of cancer prevention strategies (and cancer cures) to spread among the public. Such knowledge threatens their very existence and takes away the profits they've been counting on from treating cancer in 1 out of 3 people for the foreseeable future... Make no mistake, the cancer industry's entire profit model is based on keeping people ignorant about cancer causes while keeping them dependent on cancer treatments that don't work. That combination is the ultimate profit generation scheme for the cancer industry, despite all the suffering, pain and death it causes to human beings who are all victims of the industry. The cancer industry so steeped in criminality that its own doctors and oncologists routinely rely on false positive diagnoses to earn huge profits by falsely telling people they have cancer, then "treating" them with chemotherapy. Some of the worst fraudsters and criminals operate in Detroit, Michigan, where Dr. Farid Fata was recently prosecuted and jailed for committing what can only be called "medical murder." He falsely diagnosed thousands of healthy people with cancer, ultimately dosing them with high-profit chemotherapy -- as many as 50 people a day! -- destroying their health while pressuring them to stay on the chemo to "get rid of the cancer." This cancer industry quack is thankfully facing serious prison time, but his own colleagues (who are also quacks and criminals) continue to operate in Michigan and all across the world, poisoning people for profit while calling it "cancer treatment." Cancer industry con men don't want you to see this docu-series... they'll lose revenues when you don't get cancer anymore! While these cancer industry con men are raking in huge dollars from the false diagnoses and toxic "treatments" that earn them high profits, they are desperate to censor any information that empowers people like you with real answers on reversing cancer, preventing it or even CURING it. The very last thing they want is for you to get informed. They know that the more information you learn about how easy it is to reverse cancer in many cases, they won't be able to trick you into falling for chemotherapy. And make no mistake: Cancer doctors use TRICKS and deceptions to convince you to go for toxic chemotherapy. Their entire sales approach is based on unethical, heavy-handed psychological pressure tactics and fraudulent medical claims. They never disclose their conflicts of interest, either, neglecting to tell patients that oncologists earn HUGE profits on chemotherapy drugs given to their own patients. They have every financial incentive to falsely diagnose you with cancer, then convince you to agree to chemotherapy as "treatment!" This only works if they are able to keep you in the dark about cancer cures that really work. They have to isolate you from the truth about cancer. Only then are they able to profit from your ignorance while poisoning your body for money. RELATED: The top three most CENSORED health films and books of 2016: The Truth About Cancer docu-series | VAXXED documentary | A Mind of Your Own book on mental health through nutrition (all three threaten the medical establishment...) FACT: Chemotherapy causes permanent brain damage, kidney damage and heart damage Chemotherapy is the perfect marketing weapon of the cancer industry because it causes so much damage that it guarantees repeat business. Once a person undergoes chemotherapy, they will suffer all the following conditions: • Lifelong immune suppression and susceptibility to disease • Lifelong cognitive damage: "Chemo brain" • Lifelong kidney damage and susceptibility to kidney failure • Lifelong liver damage and reduced liver function • Heightened risk of future cancers returning in the body, usually in multiple locations All these things explain why chemotherapy is the preferred marketing "weapon" of cancer hucksters (doctors) and con artists (oncologists). Their "medicine" is poison. Their marketing model is based on deception. Their revenues are tied to trapping patients in a cycle of suffering and death. The insidious effort to censor the truth about cancer Nearly every one of these people is in favor of medical censorship to outlaw any discussion of cancer cures on the internet. There have been serious efforts to try to criminalize free speech about cancer in order to protect the cancer industry's profits which are based on ignorance. That's why this docu-series, The Truth About Cancer, is so revolutionary. It threatens the entire profit model of the cancer industry by empowering you with practical, evidence-based approaches to treating cancer and reversing cancer without poisoning your body in the process. In precisely the same way the vaccine industry desperately attacked the VAXXED documentary to keep you from learning the truth about vaccines, the cancer industry is unleashing its attack machine against The Truth About Cancer. Their mission is to destroy, silence, censor, intimidate and shut down The Truth About Cancer... at any cost! • They do not want you to see this docu-series. • They do not want you to tell anybody about it. • They do not want you to realize cancer can be cured. • They do not want you to have access to information they do not control. It's all the same story, whether we're talking about cancer, vaccines, GMOs, fluoride or even politics and elections... the establishment desperately wants to maintain POWER over you, and to achieve that it must censor, dictate, monopolize and control the flow of information while denying you access to the truth that can set you free. Yet that model is utterly failing with each passing day... the Truth About Cancer is getting out! The last time an earlier version of this docu-series ran, millions of people watched it. Countless lives were saved. Thanks to this docu-series, there are people who are ALIVE today who would have otherwise been killed by the cancer industry. Click here to register now. The Truth About Cancer launches April 12th. This docu-series can literally save your life or even help save the life of a loved one. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, you MUST watch this first... I can't urge you enough to say "NO" to your quack, criminal oncologist who's trying to poison you for profit. Click here to read the true story on Dr. Farid Fata, a criminal oncologist who poisoned people for profit. Once you read that story, you'll know the truth. You need to know your options so that you can make an informed decision. The cancer industry doesn't want you to know your options at all; it wants to corral you into its high-profit "treatments" as if you were human cattle to be milked for revenues. Once you watch this cancer docu-series, your universe of available options will vastly expand, giving you vastly most information to make an informed decision. Click here to register now. Then mark your calendar to tune in on April 12th. This knowledge can literally save your life. Learn more: www.naturalnews.com/053514_cancer_cures_documentary_media_censorship.html#ixzz44nUNYLKw

Many years ago I had a big problem with heartburn. My doctor put me on some drug called Lansporazole (or something like that). Then one day I got on the internet and read the possible side effects. I stopped immediately and looked for an alternative. Improving my diet, knowing what foods cause what AND I would take a tablespoon of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar before each meal. Now I use Braggs ACV on my salad (mixed with a little organic mayo) and NO MORE PROBLEMS.
If you are taking these drugs STOP IT!!!
Nexium And Prilosec Causing Massive Health Problems, Including Kidney Failure April 9, 2016
An estimated 15 million Americans are currently taking drugs like Nexium which work to control heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux. Unfortunately, those who turn to Nexium and other Proton-pump inhibitors will need to proceed much more cautiously as studies have confirmed that taking these drugs increase the chance of kidney problems – and even kidney failure – by as much as fifty percent.
Proton-pump inhibitors are a class of drugs which include Nexium, Prilosec, and Prevacid which work by blocking the secretion of acid into the stomach. These extremely common medications are sold both by prescription and over-the-counter. The recent discovery of this increased risk of chronic kidney disease and even failure means that much more care must be taken in determining if a person should be popping the purple pill.
America’s Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, discusses this with Thom Hartmann.

as requested I am forwarding this from ranger Mike for all to read:
Natural News Insider Alert ( www.NaturalNews.com ) - please forward
The Health Ranger
Dear Natural News readers,
By now, I'm sure you've heard about the Zika virus -- a virus transmitted by mosquitoes, which is now spreading with unbridled ferocity in Latin America, with cases beginning to appear in the United States.
I think the CDC's claim that Zika causes all the microcephaly cases is total B.S. Nevertheless, it is true that Zika is spread by mosquitoes, and that's something we would all be wise to prevent.
That's why I'm reminding you today of a chemical-free bug repellent that's safe for your skin and really works to discourage mosquitoes and other insects from biting you. It's called Health Ranger's Bugs Away Spray, and you can get some by clicking on this link now: bugsawayspray.naturalnews.com/BugsAwaySpray.html
Bugs Away SprayAlthough the common symptoms of Zika (fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis) are usually mild, and death from the disease is very rare, it has been linked (by the CDC, of course) to horrific birth defects in babies of mothers who were infected with the virus while pregnant.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, "Zika virus will continue to spread and it will be difficult to determine how the virus will spread over time." Of course, the CDC is cozy with the biotech and pesticide industries, which will no doubt try to exploit this public health problem by calling for more chemical fumigation and vaccine research. However, even the CDC admits that "The best way to prevent diseases spread by mosquitoes is to protect yourself and your family from mosquito bites." And it recommends a simple solution: insect repellant.
But you need to be careful which insect repellant you choose. It would be crazy to slather your body with the toxic chemicals used in most commercial repellents, most of which contain the pesticide DEET.
That's why Health Ranger's Bugs Away Spray is 100% truly natural. It's made from certified organic witch hazel, citronella, eucalyptus, cadarwood, catnip, lemongrass, lavender, tea tree, litsea and patchouli. It contains zero artificial fragrance or synthetic chemicals, and can be used as often as needed.
It's safe for you and safe for the environment as well. Everything we put on our skin gets washed downstream, back into the environment, so replacing toxic chemicals with natural plant-based ingredients just makes good sense for us all.
No insect repellant can stop all bites, of course, but our Bugs Away Spray greatly reduces bug bites without using toxic chemicals. The Aedes mosquito, which carries the Zika virus, is on the U.S. mainland right now. To help protect yourself and your family from mosquito bites, stock up on Health Ranger's Bugs Away Spray, available now in single bottles or discounted multi-packs.
Stay safe,
- Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

BREAKING: Massive government study concludes cell phone radiation causes brain cancer Friday, May 27, 2016by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger Learn more: www.naturalnews.com/054165_cell_phone_radiation_brain_tumors_government_study.html#ixzz49tVTrij9(NaturalNews) After decades of denials and attacks by the media which called people concerned about cell phone radiation "tin foil hat-wearing conspiracy theorists," a massive, multi-year study funded by the federal government now concludes that yes, cell phone radiation causes brain cancer.
The study is published here and it's entitled, "Report of Partial Findings from the National Toxicology Program Carcinogenesis Studies of Cell Phone Radiofrequency Radiation in Hsd: Sprague Dawley SD rats (Whole Body Exposures)."
"The findings, which chronicle an unprecedented number of rodents subjected to a lifetime of electromagnetic radiation, present some of the strongest evidence to date that such exposure is associated with the formation of rare cancers in at least two cell types in the brains and hearts of rats," reports Scientific American:
The researchers found that as the thousands of rats in the new study were exposed to greater intensities of RF radiation, more of them developed rare forms of brain and heart cancer that could not be easily explained away, exhibiting a direct dose-response relationship. Some of the rats had glioma -- a tumor of the glial cells in the brain -- or schwannoma of the heart. Furthering concern about the findings: In prior epidemiological studies of humans and cell phone exposure, both types of tumors have also cropped up as associations. In contrast, none of the control rats -- those not exposed to the radiation -- developed such tumors.
Consumer Reports also authored this story published on Yahoo Finance, which states, "The tumors found were gliomas (in the brain), and schwannomas (of the heart)." That same story goes on to report:
[T]he current study, which found the same types of tumors in rats that the earlier epidemiological research found in humans, was a controlled clinical trial; it was specifically designed to simulate the exposures of cell phone users, and all of the important parameters were tightly controlled and carefully monitored. Rats and mice were exposed to the same kinds of radiation used in cell phones, for roughly nine hours each day, spread over the course of the day. Another government cover-up shattered In other words, the cell phone industry can no longer claim it's "bad science." This is rigorous science, and it shows a clear, dose-related causative link between exposure to cell phone radiation and the development of brain and heart tumors.
For decades, the government has actively conspired with industry to downplay any evidence linking cell phones to cancer. We see this across the federal government, of course, with the EPA downplaying the risks of pesticides, the FDA downplaying the risks of pharmaceuticals, the CDC downplaying the risks of vaccines and the USDA downplaying the risks of genetically engineered crops. The entire federal government as it operates today is little more than the science propaganda and marketing arm of private industry. (Corporate-government collusion, by the way, is better known as economic Fascism.)
In all this, the role of the government-controlled media has long been to ridicule anyone who questions the official science propaganda on all these topics. Think cell phones cause cancer? You're a kook. Worried about fluoride in the tap water? You're a nut case. Concerned about mercury in vaccines? You're an anti-science quack, we're told.
Except that now the truth is being exposed on all these fronts. Now, even the government's own study shows that cell phone radiation causes cancerous tumors of the brain and heart. At the same time, independent science is increasingly exposing the harm of mercury in vaccines, GM crop chemicals like glyphosate, toxic pharmaceuticals and the mass fluoride poisoning of the water supply. On all these issues, Natural News has always been right! (... and the establishment has always been in denial of reality.)
The CDC, for its conspiratorial part, yanked warnings about cell phone radiation from its website. (It's the Ministry of Truth, you see, and preventing the public from learning the truth is always the CDC's No. 1 priority...)
As Consumer Reports says in its story:
The results of this large, long-term study could dramatically shift the national debate over cell phone safety. The NTP's website says that the results may be used by the Food and Drug Administration and the FTC in determining how best to protect consumers from the potential harms of radiation that comes from cell phones.
The CDC might also consider reinstating the cautions it pulled from its web site. (We've reached out to the agency for comment, and will update our story once we hear back from them).
Likewise, the cell phone industry may have to alter its stance. The wireless association trade group CTIA has maintained that cell phones are completely safe, and has fought to block San Francisco from passing laws that would require electronics retailers to notify consumers about the proper handling of cell phones.

Sheryl Crow says cell phone radiation may have caused her brain tumor Wednesday, September 19, 2012 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer Tags: Sheryl Crow, cell phone radiation, brain tumor
Learn more: www.naturalnews.com/037238_Sheryl_Crow_cell_phone_radiation_brain_tumor.html#ixzz49u5wWRZd
(NaturalNews) Back in June, singer and songwriter Sheryl Crow told Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Doug Elfman that she had a brain tumor, confirming suspicions held by some that Crow's failure to remember the lyrics to one of her most famous hit songs at a show earlier in the year was more than just a consequence of growing old. Though benign, her tumor may have been a result of prolonged mobile phone use over the years, Crow admits, once again reviving legitimate concerns about the safety of cell phones.
"I do have the theory that it's possible that it's related to that," said Crow to journalist Katie Couric during a recent interview, inferring that mobile phone radiation may have triggered the growth of her tumor. "I used to spend hours on the old archaic cell phones."
Crow's tumor, which is known as a meningioma, was identified on the side of her head where she talks on her phone the most, which was one of the first indications that the two were potentially linked. Crow also says she noticed that her memory had been increasingly failing her prior to the diagnosis, and that she was having more and more trouble thinking clearly, both factors of which seemed to correlate with her excessive phone use habits.
Though none of her doctors have been willing to confirm or even entertain her suspicions, Crow's own account of her excessive mobile phone use over the years seems to point to the possibility that such activity may have been the cause of her tumor. And this is very serious because, despite being considered benign, meningiomas can still invade surrounding tissues and spread to other organs -- in some cases, meningiomas can actually be fatal. Famous 'Interphone Study' confirms cell phone use can cause brain tumors But do Crow's suspicions about cell phone use potentially causing cancer have any scientific validity? Data compiled as part of the comprehensive Interphone Study actually seems to confirm Crow's theory, having revealed that heavy cell phone use significantly increases brain cancer risk. Though the media and the study itself tried to marginalize the significance of the findings, it is clear from the figures that long-term cell phone use can increase the risk of certain forms of cancer by as much as 50 percent (http://www.naturalnews.com/029100_cell_phones_radiation.html).
A presentation given at the 32nd Annual Bioelectromagnetics Society meeting in South Korea back in 2010 claimed that Interphone Study data showed an even high risk of cancer from cell phone use. According to that particular analysis, published risk figures from the study were underestimated by as much as 25 percent (http://electromagnetichealth.org).
"Flaws in the design and problems during conduct of the study led to biased estimates of the risk," says Michael Kundi, Professor of Occupational Health and Epidemiology at the Medical University of Vienna, about the inadequacy of the Interphone Study in exposing true cell phone risk. "We tried to assess the magnitude of this bias and correct the most important risk estimates. It turned out that after correction, the risk from mobile phone use is quite substantial and warrants precautionary activities."
