It's been a while since I've written...

...and  I hope you are all well!

There has been a lot going on (still!) on my end, and I find that I like being busy. But sometimes, do you ever feel the need to just have a few hours to do nothing?

I picked up some new books and hobbies I will be sharing with you here...in case you aren't following my instagram. The list of what I'd like to do, see, and learn is endless.

For the next few weeks, I will be sharing with you some "thinkers" from Suzanne Somer's new book, Tox-Sick. I try to follow up with as many stories as I can ( ;) ) that I have lived through and been through.

Also, this article here has pissed me off:

Australian wellness guru Belle Gibson reportedly built her career around claims she survived several different kinds of cancer with alternative medicine, but this week, she confessed that it was all a lie.
"No. None of it's true," she reportedly told The Australian Women's Weekly magazine in an issue on stands today.
Gibson, 23, claimed to have had blood, brain, liver, spleen and uterus cancers, according toMashable, which published a skeptical piece about the embattled entrepreneur last month. The Whole Pantry writer said she cured herself by shirking traditional medicine, eating whole foodsand using alternative therapies instead, according to Australian Women's Weekly.
"I don't want forgiveness," the Australian Women's Weekly reported her saying. "I just think [speaking out] was the responsible thing to do. Above anything, I would like people to say, 'OK, she's human.'"
ABC News reached out to Gibson through The Whole Pantry App but did not receive a response.
In addition to blogging, Gibson founded The Whole Pantry app, published a recipe book and had hundreds of thousands of social media followers. She appears to have deleted her Instagramposts.
Earlier today, Gibson allegedly tweeted from the Whole Pantry App account, "For the record, I haven't retreated to the United States. and didn't. Media, continue to 'humiliate and condemn' - Belle."
Unfounded claims of having cancer aren't new, but this is different because Gibson was offering unproven advice to a wide audience for profit, NYU Langone bioethicist Arthur Caplan told ABC News. He said the case should serve "as a reminder that there are people out there willing to prey on the desperate and the vulnerable."
"It is beyond despicable that you would give advice to people with terminal diseases like cancer and have them forgo the only therapies that might offer some hope," Caplan said. "I admit that the therapies often are poor, but that's all there is. To talk about alternatives that don't work, claiming that they did work on you is to not only step over the ethical line, it is to throw yourself into ethics 
hell.

"http://abcnews.go.com/Health/cancer-blogger-belle-gibson-now-sick/story?id=30526980

Why it pisses me off:
1- Um, cancer isn't funny. How ridiculous and petty does someone have to be to fake an illness? Who raised her?

2- First of all, eating whole foods and using alternative therapies...given that I don't know which therapies she used because I'd never even heard of here...there is the whole theory of detox that everyone in general needs to obtain optimum health.

3- I always believe in doing my own research. I don't go around believing everything someone says. It would be ridiculous if people did that. I want to learn everything...how to cure my body naturally, how to detox properly, what to eat, how to eat it...there is not one right way for everyone so why should one person have so much influence. I encourage everyone to do more research on health, wellness, and nutrition. If you don't, how will you learn anything?

4- People who fake a disease? I am trying not to judge, but do you want to try any chemo treatments that I've tried? I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Educate yourselves, peeps. And have a beauuuuuutiful weekend.

Love me,

stuff about chewing!


Saliva Inhibits HIV (p.59)

Saliva contains substances that pervent the AIDS virus from infecting white-blood cells. In a study, dental researchers tested saliva from three healthy men, 35, 40, and 42 years old. Tests indicated the men were not carriers of the AIDS virus and were not known to be at high risk for infection. In laboratory dishes, the men's saliva prevented the AIDS virus from infecting lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that is among the immune system cells attacked by the AIDS virus in the body. 

The researchers said the finding might help explain why no cases have been documented in which the AIDS virus was transmitted from person to person through asliva such as through kissing or sharing toothbrushes. The scientsts concluded that saliva is wel known to contain substances that kill bacteria and funguses and so might also be able to block the AIDS virus.

Chewing and Cancer Risk:
An Indian cancer researcher concluded that thorough chewing lowered the risk of cancer. "The proper chewing of meals ensuring that mucous-rich saliva mixed with the food seemed to be protective factors." Cancer also appeared to be more prevalent in south Indian where white rice and considerably more fat, oil and spices are used in cooking than in north India where whole-grain chapatis and thick dahl made with lentils are the staple."


you learn something new everyday!

about brain tumors


"Brain Tumors (p.38)

Brain tumors are the leading cause of death from childhood cancer.

Childhood Tumors Linked to Cured Meat

In a study of maternal diet during pregnancy involving 1300 children, researchers at the University of South California Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center reported that consumption of meats cured with sodium nitrite increased the risk of brain tumors."

Pretty much anything cured or processed is a no-no if you want to keep your bod/immune system happy and healthy.

take care of you!

a new store in flushing!

Interesting article in the Bayside Times, link here!

Article pasted, here:

For those who do not speak Korean, the Erom store near Broadway Station may appear — at first glance — to be a place devoted solely to the sale of bidets.
After all, the name of the European-style plumbing fixtures is the only English-language word adorning the sign over the corner of 164th Street and Northern Boulevard, and a pair of the devices are prominently displayed in the window of a commodious storefront as clean and tidy as porcelain.
Erom is, in fact, a line of Korean-manufactured wellness products, including appliances, foods and cosmetics.
“It’s a well-being store,” shop owner Young Pak said.
In addition to the bidets, which run between $650 and $800, including free installation while the store celebrates its grand opening this month, the other big ticket item at Pak’s shop is the water ionizer, a device that uses an electric current to separate the alkaline and acid found in the magnesium and calcium ions in water.
The wellness industry — including bottlers who may charge more than $4 for 20 ounces of the stuff — tout the health benefits of using water with a high pH level to neutralize acid in the bloodstream, boost metabolism and help the body more effectively absorb nutrients.
While there is no scientific consensus on the claims, alkaline water’s proponents say its benefits are wide-reaching.
“It’s very popular, especially in Korea,” said Pak, who added that cancer patients find alkaline water easier to swallow. “It helps to rehabilitate the body.”
The ionizers, which need to be hooked up to a tap water supply, are not inexpensive.
The Juvenis VII, which Pak said is ideal for a family of five or more, runs in the $3,000 range while the economy-size Juvenis V costs about $2,500.
Aside from the hardware, his store — which may evoke a knowing smile from New Yorkers whose bathrooms are uncomfortably close to the rest of their apartment — is arranged with an orderly stack of cubbies surrounding a cream-colored couch and a station with a kitchen sink.
The shelves each hold an Erom food product — freeze-dried, raw meals with organic ingredients that claim to do everything from fight cancer to help children grow taller.
The kitchen station, which Pak plans to have ready for the store’s April 7 grand opening, will be used to demonstrate pH levels in the city’s tap and show through different tests how the ionizer brings down pH levels.
Pak said he expects to do well with those already familiar with the Erom brand and reputation, adding that the appeal is universal.
“Everyone wants to diet and alkaline water is good for a diet,” he said.

I'M SO EXCITED!

Cancer-Fungus

Article found here:


Cancer Fungus – The Link Between the Microbe and Cancer

The cancer fungus link is well-documented. Fungus is a microbe, and many scientists believe viruses, fungus and bacteria are all different stages of the microbe life cycle. The microbe has long been associated with and identified as a possible cause for cancer. A large and significant number of independent cancer researchers, scientists, microbiologists and prominent medical practitioners over the past 100 years [as shown below] have found overwhelming evidence supporting this cancer fungus link or link between cancer and the microbe. They have also discovered and observed that this microbe is pleomorphic, meaning it changes back and forth from harmless spore form to harmful viral, bacterial and yeast-like fungus form. This microbe, they found, is always present in cancer / tumor cells.

1890
On December 3, 1890 William Russell, a pathologist in the School of Medicine at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh, gave an address to the Pathological Society of London in which he outlined his histopathologic findings of a characteristic organism of cancer that he observed microscopically in fuchsine-stained tissue sections from all forms of cancer that he examined, as well as in certain cases of tuberculosis, syphilis and skin infection. The parasite was seen within the tissue cells (intracellular) and outside the cells (extracellular). The size of Russell's parasite ranged from barely visible, up to "half again as large as a red blood corpuscle."  The largest round forms were easily seen microscopically. The large size of some of these bodies suggested a fungal or yeast-like parasite. Russell provisionally classified the parasite as a possible "blastomycete" (a type of fungus); and called the forms "fuchsine bodies" because of their bluish-red staining qualities.

1901
After three years work at the New York State Pathological Laboratory of the University of Buffalo, Harvey Gaylord confirmed Russell's research in a 36-page report titled "The protozoon of cancer", published in May, 1901, in the American Journal of the Medical Sciences. Gaylord found the small forms and the large sacs characteristic of Russell bodies in every cancer he examined. Some large spherical bodies were four times the diameter of a leukocyte (white blood cell). Red blood cells measure about 7 micron in diameter and leukocytes are 2 to 3 times larger than red blood cells. Thus, some of the bodies that Gaylord observed attained the amazing size of around 50 micron in diameter. In addition, he found evidence of internal segmentation within the larger bodies "after the manner recognized in malarial parasites." The tiniest forms appeared the size of ordinary staphylococci.

1920
In the 1920s James Young, an obstetrician from Scotland, repeatedly grew pleomorphic bacteria from various cancers. The microbes had a "specific life cycle" and "spore stages" comprised of exceedingly tiny and barely visible spores. In the laboratory these tiny spores transformed into larger coccoid (round) forms, rod-forms and yeast-like forms (similar in size to Russell bodies). Young found his microbe in 16 cases of breast cancer, and in two mice with breast cancer. He identified "spore forms" and clumped "spore balls" in microscopic sections prepared from the mouse tumours.

1925
In 1925 Northwest Medicine published two papers by Michael Scott, a Montana surgeon who learned about the cancer microbe in TJ Glover's lab in 1921. Scott's microbe was similar to Young's. The parasite had a life cycle composed of three stages: a coccus, a rod, and a "spore sac" stage. Scott believed cancer was an infection like tuberculosis and attempted a vaccine treatment, but his treatment methods were quickly suppressed by the medical establishment.

In 1925, John Nuzum, a pathologist and physician at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, reported a pleomorphic coccus he repeatedly isolated from breast cancer. The tiniest forms were virus-like and passed through a filter designed to hold back bacteria. Nuzum grew his "micrococcus" from 38 of 41 early breast cancers, and from the cancerous lymph nodes and metastatic tumours resulting from spread of the cancer to other parts of the body. During his 6 years of intensive bacteriological study, he learned the microbe could pass through a filter designed to hold back bacteria, indicating that some forms of the microbe were as small as the size of some viruses. With special stains he detected these small round coccoid forms within the breast cancer tumour cells. Although Nuzum couldn't produce cancer tumours in mice, he was able to induce breast cancer tumours in 2 of 5 dogs injected with the microbe.

1932
Royal Raymond Rife studied medicine at the prestigious John Hopkins University, and began his career as a research pathologist and medical researcher. Over his lifetime, Rife was to receive fourteen major scientific awards and honours and an honorary doctorate from the University of Heidelberg for his scientific discoveries. Royal R. Rife cultured tissue from a breast cancer sample, in Kendall medium, and isolated a micro-organism. He followed this experiment with a series of other studies in which he cultured an organism in Kendall media, from tissue taken from a human breast cancer. He then injected this microorganism into 412 healthy rats, and found that without fail they all developed breast cancer. Finally, he was then able to isolate the original microorganism from the tumours which grew in the rats. In the process Rife became probably the first person ever to fulfil Koch's postulants, for cancer causing microbes. Koch's Postulants are a set of rules to prove the causation of disease by microorganisms. They state that to prove such causality the microorganism must first be isolated and cultured. It must then be shown to have infected a health animal, and finally the same organism must be recoverable from the now infected animal.

The cancer virus which Rife named Cryptocides Primordiales or the BX virus, was a minute 1/5 micron in length and 1/20 micron in width. It was highly motile, aerobic (requiring free oxygen for its survival) and highly pathogenic. Rife discovered that while exposing the virus to a temperature of 42C for 24 hours would kill the virus, it remained unaffected by exposure to either X-ray, UV or Infra-red waves. While the discovery of a cancer virus was in itself an incredible feat of scientific endeavour, Rife was to make yet more discoveries destined to rock the scientific status quo. The BX virus was shown to be a polymorphic virus, able to change its states according to the culture in which it was grown. When a BX virus was cultivated in a different media, it was seen to change into a BY virus. When the media was changed yet again it developed into a monococcoid in the monocytes of the blood, and with a further change of media it morphed once again, this time into crytomyces pleomorphia fungi. At any stage along this journey of polymorphism, the original BX virus could be grown again by adding any one of these forms to the original media.

1935
Another pleomorphist, Canadian researcher of Dr Gruner was watching Rife's work with interest. Gruner was using asparagus agar to grow fungus from cancer blood. Rife was growing a virus from cancer tissue using Kendall media. In the 1930's both Gruner and Rife collaborated and went on to discover that when a sample of Gruner's fungus was cultured on K media the BX virus emerged. By changing the media they could turn a fungus originally grown out of cancer blood into the BX organism, itself grown out of cancer tissue. They repeated this experiment hundreds of times with exactly replicable results each time.

1940
Virginia Livingston, independently discovered the cancer microbe in the late 1940s. Aided by micro-biologist Eleanor Alexander-Jackson, who supplied the bacteriologic expertise, the two women found a special stain (the acid-fast stain) that allowed the microbe to be recognised in culture and within the cancer tumour. Like the researchers back in the 1920s, they confirmed the microbe was filterable; and electron microscopic photos provided further proof that the filterable forms were indeed viral-size. Livingston has written three books on the cancer microbe: Cancer: A New Breakthrough (1972), The Microbiology of Cancer (1977), and The Conquest of Cancer (1984).

1950In the 1950s Irene Diller of the Institute for Cancer Research at Fox Chase, Philadelphia, discovered fungus-like microbes in cancer cells. Joining forces with the Livingston team, Diller worked with specially bred mice with a proven cancer incidence. By injecting them with microbes cultured from breast cancer and other tumours, she was able to more than double the cancer incidence of the mice. She injected healthy animals with cancer bacteria. When cancer tumours developed she successfully cultured the microbe from the tumours - thus proving that these bacteria were implicated in the production of cancer. Utilising Livingston's methods, Diller also grew the microbe from the blood of cancer patients.

1950 – Present

In the 1950, Professor Gaston Naessens invented a high-powered light microscope, capable of viewing the tiniest forms of life within blood. With this microscope, Naessens discovered in the blood of animals and humans – as well as in the saps of plants – a subcellular microscopic life form that reproduces, which he christened a somatid (tiny body). The somatid, he found, could be cultured (grown) outside the bodies of its hosts (in vitro, "under glass,"). Naessens also observed that this somatid life form was pleomorphic (form-changing). He observed this somatid life form was limited to 3 stages in a healthy organism – somatid, spore, and double spore – and that these 3 stages where crucial to the organisms survival. What was more amazing, was that Professor Naessens observed that this somatid life form became pathogenic (harmful) when the immune system of the organism was compromised or weakened. He observed these somatid life forms then entered a further 13 stages of development, changing from bacterial into yeast-like fungus forms. (A total of 16 stages). Naessens studied the blood of various degenerative diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, AIDS, and cancer, and consistently found the 16 stages of the somatid life cycle (shown below) present in all of these diseases.
1960 – 1990
In the early 1960s Florence Seibert became so impressed with Irene Diller's research that she quit retirement to help prove that bacteria cause cancer. Back in the 1920s Seibert devised a method to make intravenous transfusions safe by eliminating contaminating ubiquitous bacteria. Later, as one of the foremost authorities investigating the chemistry and immunology of the acid-fast bacteria that cause tuberculosis, she perfected the skin test for tuberculosis that has been used worldwide ever since. In 1938, she was awarded the famed Trudeau Medal, the highest prize given to tuberculosis research. Experiments conducted by Seibert and her research team showed these acid-fast and TB-like cancer microbes were not laboratory contaminants because they were able to isolate bacteria from every piece of tumour (and every acute leukemic blood) they studied.

1983
Cosmic Awareness – the force that expressed itself through Jesus of Nazareth, the Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, Edgar Cayce, and others who served as spiritual messengers for God reveals that cancer is indeed a fungus. In this revelation, it is revealed that there are seven different types of fungus which are diagnosed as cancer. In this revelation, it is also revealed that Apple Cider Vinegar together with High Dose Vitamin C or equivalent amounts of lemon juice can effectively rid this cancer fungus from the body. To read this full article, click on Lemon Vinegar Cancer Treatment.

1983 – Present
Dr Tullio Simoncini is an Italian doctor specialising in oncology, diabetology and in metabolic disorders. He has treated and cured many cancer patients with sodium bicarbonate (the strongest anti-fungal chemical known to man), commonly via catheter, and has observed tumours consistently disappear within weeks. His book, “Cancer is a Fungus – The Revolution in the Therapy of Tumours” is widely available. It is Dr Simoncini’s unequivocal belief that cancer and tumours are the result of fungal growth in the body, supporting the cancer fungus link. [Note: Injecting baking soda into the body is a method used by Dr Simoncini and may cause side effects]. See: Sodium Bicarbonate Cancer Treatment

World Health Authorities Link the Microbe to Cancer
1.  "The over representation of cancer in a region where there is a high incidence of parasitic disease, and the unique characteristics of bilharzial bladder cancer, indicate the possibility that this parasite plays a role in the etiology of cancer. The presence of chronic bacterial cystitis, complicated by urethral strictures, calculi, diverticulae and paralytic stasis, has been known to induce epithelial changes in the bladder mucosa, which may progress to invasive cancer." [CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, the American Cancer Society - Parasites in the Etiology of Cancer: Bilharziasis [parasite] and Bladder Cancer, 1977, Dr. Elsebai, Professor of Surgery, Cancer Institute, Cairo University, Egypt.

2.  "Schistosomiasis (also known as bilharziasis), an infection with a parasitic worm called Schistosoma hematobium that can get into the bladder, is also a risk factor for bladder cancer. Although this parasite is found mostly in Northern Africa, it does cause rare cases of bladder cancer in the United States among people who had been infected by the worm before moving to this country."  [American Cancer Society]

3.  According to the US National Cancer Institute, "Being infected with parasites increases the risk of bladder cancer." It is possible that the immune system in a highly parasitized human being is compromised. In attempting to fight off the large amounts of [foreign] parasites, cancer cells that exist in every human being are left alone to multiply - the immune system simply not having enough resources to go around.

4.  The World Health Organization estimates over 1.5 million of the total of 10 million new cancer cases a year could be avoided by preventing the infection associated with them. WHO states that "Viruses, bacteria and parasites emerge as the "secret agents" causing millions of cases of cancer" each year.

5.  Many cancers are associated with infections (for example, cervical cancer is linked to the human papilloma virus), but there is no stronger link between a human malignancy and a parasitic infection than that between cancer of the bile ducts and a liver fluke called Opisthorchis viverrini. Scientists at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR) in Brisbane are part of an international study into the link between cancer and a parasite found in South-East Asia. The institute’s Dr Alex Loukas says bile duct cancer is prevalent in Thailand and Laos, where people eat raw fish. He says the results could be applied to other cancers caused by parasites. "We know from collaborations with our colleagues in Thailand that the cancer is highly likely to be caused by proteins that this worm secretes into the bile ducts as part of its feeding process".

6.  [American Cancer Society] "Cervix cancer is caused by a virus called HPV. HPV is short for human papilloma (pap-ah-LO-mah) virus. This virus can cause changes in the cervix. HPV is NOT the same as HIV. HPV is not a new virus, but we are learning more about this virus. Almost everyone who has ever had sex has had HPV at some time in his or her life. HPV is spread through sex and it can cause an infection in the cervix. The infection usually doesn't last very long because your body is able to fight the infection. If the HPV doesn’t go away, the virus may cause cervix cells to change and become pre-cancer cells."

7.  The Institute for Genomic Research and the International Livestock Research Institute have joined forces to decode the DNA of one of Africa’s most destructive cattle parasites. East Coast Fever is caused by a protozoan parasite carried by ticks. The parasite is known to scientists as Theileria parva. Once injected into the cow’s bloodstream it invades the animal’s white blood cells, causing them to divide uncontrollably, like cancer cells. The multiplying cells clog the cow’s organs, killing the animal within 2 to 4 weeks. Knowledge of the genes that the parasite uses to start this lethal cell division may shed light on the mechanisms that cause human tumours to grow. Research on the East Coast Fever parasite has already led to the identification of a previously unknown mechanism that causes leukemia in mice.

8.  A new study links parasites with immunosuppression. Stool specimens taken from 38 children with malignancy and from 92 healthy children were investigated for intestinal parasites. The 38 children with malignancy had lymphoma or leukemia and were considered immunosuppressed. Several different parasites were found in 16 of the 38 patients with immune deficiency (47.3%), compared to only 16 of the 92 healthy children (17.3%). The incidence of parasites in patients with malignancy who were immunosuppressed was significantly higher than in the healthy control group. [Study performed by Department of Parasitology, Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine, Ýzmir, Turkey and Behçet Uz Children's Hospital, Ýzmir, Turkey, March 2004].

Ridding the Body of Fungus to Overcome Cancer
Whatever alternative cancer treatment plan you eventually decide on, it is important to have a protocol in this treatment plan that kills the cancer fungus inside of you. Did you know that most alternative cancer treatments either directly or indirectly kill the yeast-like fungus that causes cancer?  Some of these include the Gerson Therapy Diet, the Bob Peck protocol, the Overnight Cure for Cancer, 714X, Garlic, Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda), MMS(Miracle Mineral Supplement), Apple Cider Vinegar and Lemon Juice, the Hulda Clark protocol, and herbal remedies that purify the blood such as Essiactea to name just a few. Some of these treatment options are more difficult than others, so it is important to find one or more that suits you - because they all effectively do the same thing: kill the cancer fungus.

Royal Raymond Rife



I just wanted to educate you all on the success (and non-quackery) of Rife. 

Trust no one. Try everything.



"Disease organisms such as those of tuberculosis, cancer, sarcoma, typhoid and others may be observed to succumb when exposed to certain lethal frequencies peculiar to each individual organism, and directed upon them by rays conveying a wide ranges of waves." ~The Smithsonian Institution 1944

Royal Rife and Antoine Bechamp discovered cancer is in fact a pleomorphic fungi that cannot transform into some 16 advanced forms when the body's pH is slightly alkaline.

enzymes and digestion


(forgive me, i research so much, i don't know where these excerpts are from!)

"Raw food/living food-- an uncooked vegan or vegetarian diet which consists of berries, fruits, vegetables, roots, nuts, flowers, sea vegetables, germinated seeds, sprouts and sometimes raw dairy products for maintenance, not cleansing.

Plants are rich natural sources of antioxidants and other nutrients.

Live food also contains enzymes which act as catalysts for detox and absorption of nutrients. Under naturopathy, juices of certain vegetables and fruits are used as cancer-fighting foods.

Green leaves-- have alkaline minerals, the best fiber, calming and anti-stress properties, are the best chlorophyll source.

Body attempts to adapt to cooked food by increasing the enzyme content of our saliva to begin breaking down the food as quickly as possible. Without proper enzymes to accumulate undigested materials in our system leading to inflammation, stagnation, fatigue and digestive distress.

Saliva of a raw food eater contains far fewer enzymes than that of a person who eats cooked food. This is because raw foods contain enzymes of their own, making salivary enzymes not as strongly needed for digestion. "

helpful websites for cancer related issues

(this was me during my 11th chemo..that led into "relapse" which led me to "have to" go through ICE chemo and BEAM chemo and an autologous stem cell transplant. i was too drugged up all the time (obv.!) to use my full mental capabilities to use this research. when i questioned doctors, they asked me if i was one in a snarky attitude. chemo made me stupid and i couldn't do much except be sick to my stomach and i don't wish it on anyone, ever. of course, they're going to tell you you've relapsed-- CHEMO IS NOT THE CURE, it adds more ACID to your already ACIDIC pH balance!)

a little note:

i wish i had known all of this stuff when i got diagnosed. my life would have been changed dramatically as i wouldn't have gone through 9 months of chemo and chosen to boost my immune system and detox my body instead.

http://www.cancertutor.com/

http://cancerdecisions.com/



this may help you along your path, whichever one you choose.

while i was forced, scared out of my pants, and pretty much thrown into chemotherapy, i wish i would have used the time to research everything.

what i found out later:


  • there are so many other therapies, natural ones, that could be used. of course, the government would deem those therapies as fraudulent, quackery...and say that there is no proof. there was and there is proof-- but the government has been going into true healers practices since before 1950 and getting rid of all the paperwork and case studies. do they want you to get well, or to be a lifetime consumer of the medical b.s. of brand new medicine until you drop dead? 
  • the world is overpopulated and you are just a statistic.
  • doctors make bonuses when they refer you to chemo!!
  • instead of boosting your immune system to fight off cancer, or any other sickness, they purposely add chemo, which is acid, so it could kill off ALL cells (good and bad.) more chemo = more relapses.
  • The American Medical Association is a labor union.
  • GE is a member of the cancer industry and own NBC.
  • why would they tell you chemo is good? because if they don't, all the Cancer Societies that take good people's money for research would go under, and billions a year would be left to the people. 
  • the AMA/FDA cannot patent and sell something that is natural!!

please research, 

you have time

and

you matter.

health mondays: what they don't tell us


  • all cancers are a form of lymphoma
  • cancer cells cannot form tissue
  • the tumor is not the cancer
  • cancer cells don't threatens patients lives unless it spreads
  • cancer cells reside in tumor tissue
  • tumor size has "nothing to do with curing cancer- it's like a check engine light is on after the problem develops"


  • "when our digestive system doesn't function correctly we're not able to reap the full benefits of the food we eat. Aside from digestion, our system must be able to eliminate toxins efficiently." if not, it could be problematic because exposed to toxic environment which produces inflammation and then creates toxic overload.


  • cleansing the colon helps bring the acid/alkaline ratio back into balance allowing friendly bacteria to thrive while inhibiting disease-causing organisms. almost 80% of our immune system resides in our gut, colon and intestines !
(if you haven't yet, start cleansing now! a cleanse, healthy eating, exercise and perhaps colonics is a surefire way to get your immune system back on track <3 )

be well,

Heat and Cancer

Bits and Pieces of these excerpts are taken from the awesome book, Cancer:: Step Outside the Box:

Hippocrates once said that illness not cured by heat is incurable.

So I have been wondering if there is any truth to this but I haven't researched that much further into it.

"Hyperthermia gives cancer a triple whammy.
1- removing accumulation of toxic chemicals that cause cancer.
2- improves circulation so that tissues are both nourished with oxygen and flushed of acidic wastes.
3- weakening or even killing cancer cells that have a lower tolerance for heat than healthy cells.

Dr. Josef Issels stated, "Artificially induced fever has the greatest potential in the treatment of many diseases including cancer." "

I also wrote down that a vitamin c IV drip kills cancer cells while leaving normal cells alone and strengthens the immune system at the same time.

Does anyone have any stories about any of these? I would love to hear them!

If you do, please post.

Lots of love!

Where is your Immune System Located?: 
about 80% of your immune system is located in your GUT!! That's right-- stomach, liver and intestines, and colon. Be kind to them!

How to Feel Better When You're Sick: 
starve the parasites in your system that are making you sick!
 Here's how!:

  • no alcohol, bread, dairy, vinegars, mushrooms, sugar, refined or processed anything! (that's what feeds the parasites)
  • kill the parasites by using pau d'arco, cloves, cinnamon sticks, fennel, bee propolis as herbs in tea or in food. they don't like these things.
  • oxygenate blood-- organic olive oil, flax seed oil, seasweeds, and spirulina in organic juices and smoothies
  • alkalise your system: water with lemon, or distilled water with lots of lemon!
  • boost your immune system: cats claw, echinacea, essiac tea, astragalus, chlorella, (all purify blood, antibacterial properties) maybe you can throw in a cleanse (I have used Life Renewal's My First Cleanse and then Paragone. You just take them as directed and wait to poop. It's not crazy at all. If you want crazy, I can show you pictures, lol)
  • build up the good guys-- use a quality probiotic, which allows good bacteria into your gut so it fights off the bad bacteria you may have lost from a less than stellar diet
  • detox- cleanses at health food stores, hydrotherapy sessions, sauna sessions (SWEATING!), rebounding (jumping on the trampoline!) 
  • always drink a LOT of water to get your bowels moving so everything goes back into sync. you should be able to poop easily 1-2 times PER DAY! if you're not doing this at all, I would recommend a series of hydrotherapy sessions- they're super safe, and they get rid of everything stuck in your intestines/gut.
At this time, I've researched that it's best to up your immune system by fresh, organic produce, juicing, and all natural veggie broths that you make yourself. Nothing from a can.

So, You've Heard of Superfoods, Right?

They raise your immune system AND seratonin production, and LOWER inflammation. (that last part is key!) They also enhance sexuality, cleanse and alkalize the body.

Not too shabby, right?

What products count as superfoods?

  • cacao
  • goji berries
  • maca powder
  • hemp
  • spirulina
  • bee products
  • camu berry
  • sea vegetables
  • medicinal mushrooms
Did you go through hell with chemo the way I did? With all Cancer Patients, or even HEALTHY patients-- detox is key. Aside from pooping, hydrotherapy, colonics and sweating there are so many things you can do! Don't count out intestinal cleanses, as well as cleanses for the liver, gallbladder, parasites and DEFINITELY chemical and heavy metal cleanses!! 

  • Change your teeth fillings if their amalgam...mercury!!
  • notice the chem trails in our skies? those aren't supposed to be there, they're spraying chemicals on us and nature.
  • mercury in fish
  • fluoride
  • pollution in a heavily populated area-- those are all things cleanses are NECESSARY for.
I want to ask you one question: How many products do you put on you daily? Ready?

  • you brush your teeth and gargle with mouthwash-- how many ingredients are in those?
  • how many ingredients are in your deodorant?
  • how many ingredients in your makeup, each product you use on your face?
  • how many ingredients in your perfume/cologne/hairspray/hair products?
  • what about hand and body lotions? how many ingredients do you recognize in those?
  • did you wash your clothes with DETERGENT and FABRIC SOFTENER and DRYER sheets? What's in those?
  • You didn't even drink anything yet- what are you drinking?
  • Did you eat yet? What are you eating?
  • Do you smoke?
  • Do you drink alcohol?
  • Did you walk around outside today?
  • Ever take medicine? Antibiotics? Over the counter meds?
  • What about vaccinations?

Then answer me why "cancer" is now 1 out of every 3 people instead of 1 out of 1000s?? Isn't it weird that right after the development of the "American Medical Association" was born the Pharmaceutical corporations? Isn't it weird that in the early 1900s during this, HYDROTHERAPY MACHINES were pulled OUT OF DOCTORS OFFICES??

How come very few people know what enemas and colonics/hydrotherapy really do?

They don't want you to know.

Isn't it weird that very few people died from c. back then? Do you think it's ok for someone to squish your boobs or lymphnodes until you're in screaming pain, or vaccum your nipples to see if you discharge? How about you stick an arm or a penis in one of those machines and tell me what it does to that body part? Last I heard, no one should be hurting their bodies in barbaric ways, because THAT causes problems!

Answer me, why all the testing to see if you have cancer, and what does it really do to you?

Answer me, do you know all the side effects from each and every medicine you take?

Do you know that cancer is over-diagnosed for statistical improvement so that people like us can feel safe with what the doctors are telling us?

Did you ever hear a doctor say that the chemo being done to your body is curing your cancer? Why do they only use the word RESPONDING? WTF? Because they don't know if you will be cured-- but if you build up your immune system instead of killing it with chemo, and then detox religiously, your body may have a shot.

I know not a lot of people will care to read this, or respond. Those of you who have, thank you. Those of you who think all that stuff up there is just fine, I'm sorry. If you come out of your bubble and research just a little bit you will see that it isn't.

hi, it's me.

(that's me, exactly 6 months after my autologous stem cell transplant)


i am very well aware that my blog is titled, 'the globetrotting gamine'.

that's me, always has been, always will be.

i may have multiple likes, dislikes, skills, extra crazy textbook/non textbook knowledge but i do still wander the world.

that's pretty much what we all do.

so i thank you for sticking by me, while i copy texts out of really old books in order to hopefully HELP some of you, because cancer is pretty scary and it sucks.

but it's only scary if you let it be. and your doctors are probably pretty dead set on that. mine were.

you have time to make your decisions, to research, to figure out what you really want to do.

your life is in your hands, and it took me a long time to realize that.

sometimes, even if they're your doctors, you have to cut the toxic people out of your life, especially now.

doctors, friends, even family-- no one's perfect, and no one's family is perfect but there is no reason to spend your time more upset about needless information thrown at you.

you are not a statistic. you are a human. you are a soul. a big ball of stardust and energy just here for right now, to complete what you were sent here for and to move on.

don't let anyone make you feel like you are not worth it. i don't care who they are.

they don't know squat about you.

think about it.

people only know what you tell them. then, they hear only what they want to hear.
especially the toxic ones who have nothing better to do then make you feel teeny, because they themselves feel teeny.

that's not your problem. you have your own set of problems, your own karma to work out.

i pray a lot. i pray for different things. i had been praying for years that toxic people simply fall away from my life so i could make way for good people who would love me, support me, encourage me as much as i do them. i got really lucky...

you cut the old ties and so many great things come out of doing it. you don't have to wish people ill will. i never did. i want them to be happy enough in their own lives to not think of me enough to wish me harm. i picture them surrounded with light and love and float-y goodness.

i know it sounds hokey, but it's healed me.

this will heal you, too. it's a stepping stone.

outta my mind...

there are so many notebooks i've filled with a gaggle of information from medical, spiritual, new age, self help, and history book that it's hard to keep my mouth shut after having gone through hell with "the medical field".

for example-- being stuck home in the snow does not inspire me to sit on the couch and just watch movies all day (even though i do watch movies.) there is a lot of research that i've been doing, ironically even way before i was diagnosed with stage 2 hodgkin's lymphoma.

i've traveled to 25 or so countries. the picture above is me examining "clay baths" in Dominica. i've always been a health nut but i still have no idea what i want to do with my life! i am a certified school counselor, m.s. though.

so this is what i know that i've probably already stated.

get educated-- and sometimes you have to educate yourself.

i know that all of these are good for the lymph system:

  • acupuncture
  • massage
  • any  kind of moving, like dancing!
  • water, lots. stay very hydrated!
  • detox! any kind you can, even more than one at a time
  • yoga
  • meditation
  • deep breathing
  • clay baths
  • lymphatic drainage massage
  • chiropractic appointments
  • ear candling, too much wax in your ear slows down your lymph
  • plenty of veggies
  • plenty of fruits (both of these raw, especially melon and berries to keep the lymph moving)
  • rebounding!
  • oil pulling
  • loose clothes
  • castor oil packs
  • herbs
  • vitamin c! esp. in iv drips!
  • oxygen to the cells
  • frankincense oil on the feet and chest
  • so much more!
i'm always open to question, and i am thankful that i get to answer all of yours! 

thanks for sticking around, i have so much more to share with you!

Wheatgrass Manna and Ann Wigmore

As per 'Get Well Naturally' by Linda Clark:

The use of wheatgrass--

"Dr. Wigmore is quick to point out that wheatgrass should not be construed as a cure for any disease. But by furnishing the body with live minerals, vitamins, trace elements, and chlorophyll, it may be able to repair itself. Judging by the many testimonials which are coming to Dr. Wigmore from all over the United States, this type of nutrition is apparently producing a protective effect on some people.

Iscador the name for a remedy said to be derived from mistletoe. This remedy is being studied by the Society for Cancer Research in Switzerland. The society seeks no material gain, is directed by practicing physicians, and may be contacted by...

Calvacin, an anti-tumor agent extracted from the giant puffball mushroom (Calvatia giganteum). It has been found active against 14 types of animal cancer, as reported in Science, by 13 investigators from Armour and Company, Sloan Kettering Institute, and Michigan State University. According to the science page of the New York Times, January 8th, 1961, which called attention to this discovery, "The substance is not available for treating malignant tumors in humans but may go on clinical trial by mid-1961." Where is this remedy and why is it not availble?



As per wikipedia:

Biography[edit]

Wigmore was born Anna Marie Warapicki in Lithuania on March 4, 1909 to Antanas (1877-1959) and Anna (1882-?) Warapicki. Her father emigrated to America in 1908, settling in Middleboro, Massachusetts, where he first worked as a laborer in a shoe manufacturing company (1920 Fed Census/1924 & 1925 Middleboro city directories) and later as a truck driver for a bakery (1930 Fed Census) during Wigmore's American teen-age years; Wigmore's mother followed five years later, aboard the ship Erlangen, arriving at Ellis Island on June 16, 1913. After World War I, Anna Marie, then 13, and her brother, Mykola, age 15, (both surnames erroneously entered on the ship's passenger log as "Varapickis") accompanied by an uncle, arrived at Ellis Island on December 9, 1922, on the ship USS America, to join their parents and younger sister Helen, born February 19, 1921, in Middleboro. The 1930 Federal Census found Wigmore living in Bristol, Massachusetts and working as a hospital maid under the name of Anna Warap.
On December 25, 1930, Anna Marie (again under the name "Warap" per wedding coverage Stoughton News-Sentinel, 1 Jan 1931) married Everett Arnold Wigmore (1907-1969), of Stoughton, Massachusetts, where they resided during their marriage.[1] A daughter, Wilma Edith Wigmore, was born on July 9, 1941.[2] On January 12, 1942, Wigmore became a United States citizen under Certificate No. 5302785, U.S. District Court, Boston, Massachusetts.[3] The Wigmores later divorced sometime in the 1950ties-60ties. Mr. Wigmore remarried; apparently Ann Wigmore did not.
In 1968, Ann Wigmore co-founded the Hippocrates Health Institute,[4] a health resort in the United States, with Viktoras Kulvinskas.[5] Known as "the mother of living foods", she was an early pioneer in the use of wheatgrass juice and living foods for detoxifying and healing the body, mind, and spirit.[6] She died in Boston on February 16, 1994 of smoke inhalation from a fire at the Ann Wigmore Foundation.[7] When Ann Wigmore died her Institute was not named the Hippocrates Health Institute. It was called the Ann Wigmore Foundation. Brian Clement owned the Hippocrates Health Institute which he moved from Boston to West Palm Beach, Florida.
In her autobiography, Why Suffer?: How I Overcame Illness & Pain Naturally, Wigmore recalls observing her grandmother using herbs and natural remedies as a child inLithuania.[8] As an adult, she began researching and testing various whole foods and diet approaches, which she credits with solving her medical problems and changing her life.[9]

Institutes[edit]

A number of institutes carry on her work by offering educational programs and retreats, home study courses, recipes, books, and other resources. These include:

can cancer be prevented?

Continuing on to page 225...

Dr. Harry Rubin, of the Univeristy of California Virology Laboratory, feels that in the war against cancer, it is more practical to build up the body resistance and defenses against cancer than to fight it. (modern Nutrition (June 1961, p.8).

The late Dr. D.T.Quigley, mentioned above, and whose patients had no recurrence of cancer, provided they followed his dietary advice, agreed that the best way to prevent cancer is to build up the body defenses through excellent nutrition. In this way the tissues, cells and organs are kept in such a healthy state that in his opinion, cancer cannot take hold. His dietary advice is to avoid absolutely all refined, synthetic and processed foods. He bans white flour, enriched fortified foods, white sugar and foods with chemical additives. He recommends natural foods, whole foods, raw vegetables and fruits, generous amounts of protein, raw certified (INSTEAD OF PASTEURIZED) milk, whole grains, plus all the known natural vitamins and minerals. Dr. Quigley wrote:

"A return to normal food alone will never bring health up to normal standard. To make up for the past dietary sins, concentrated vitamins should be taken for 6 months to two years, in order that the individual may reach a point where, with his reserve restored, he can carry on with a balanced diet...it is essential that the concentrate contain all the vitamins, both known and unknown....For this reason no synthetic preparation can completely replace the vitamins in which the average person may be deficient. Such foods as yeast, liver and wheat germ are excellent sources...." (The National Malnutrition.)

Dr. J.R.Davidson (now retired), former associate professor of clinial medicine at the University of Manitoba says I believe cancer, a deficiency disease, can be prevented and controlled by a suitable and balanced diet, high in vitamin content.

" I do not pretend to be able to benefit patients in whom the disease has reached advanced or terminal stages, because that does not give any treatment a fair chance. In the patients whom I am treating, however, some of whom have suffered from clearly diagnosed cancers of a severe degree, I can claim some improvement in many cases.

"The diet I prescribe, varied to some extent in each individual case, includes one pint of vegetable juice per day, such as carrot, lettuce and celery juices, prepared freshly, plenty of raw vegetables, particularly peas, beans, carrots, spinach, lettuce, whole wheat bread, supplemented by wheat germ, meat cooked rare, raw milk, and concentrated vitamins of various kinds." (Reprint 189, Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, Milwaukee 3, Wisconsin.)

emotions and stuff

Linda Clark's Get Well Naturally, continued: (p.223)

Emotions

Psychological tests given to 127 cancer patients, who did not yet know that they had cance,r revealed that emotions had apparently played a role in their illness. The official journal of the American Cancer Society reported, "The results were consistent with the observations of others who have described the cancer patient as unable to express his angry feelings and as covering them up with a facade of pleasantness." Yet the patients themselves did not seem to realize they possessed this trait. Involved in the psychological study were 34 patients with lung cancer, and 19 with cancer of prostate, as compared with 74 subjects who were healthy or had other diseases.

Lest this sound too far-fetched, Dr. Bernard Roizman, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, provides the explanation. Many people harbor a "sleeping" tendency to cancer. Under normal conditions symptoms do not appear. But when the body is subjected to an emotional upset, a physical disturbance of some type, or a generally run down condition, the sleeping cancer tendency may flare. Thus, emotonal as well as physical upsets may trigger cancer in some people.

Natural Immunity and Spontaneous Regression

Dr. Westin Price in his worldwide search for healthy people found no cancer except where people were eating civilized and refined foods, while Dr. Albert Schweitzer reported no cancer among the Africans he observed until civilized foods were introduced. The late Vilhjalmur Stefansson reported no evidence of cancer among the Eskimos until the introduction of civilized foods, and Sir Robert McCarison, M.D., found the Hunzas, who lived on natural foods, to be free of cancer.

Dr. Cornelius P. Rhoads, late director of the Sloan-Kettering Institute, New York, reported that some persons threw off cancer as easily as they did a common cold, whereas others were easy victims. The first definite proof that the human body possesses  a special defense system or immunity against cancer was found when cancer cells were injected into healthy volunteer prisoners, at Ohio State Penitentiary. The prisoners experienced only soreness similar to a smallpox vaccination. But when cancer cells were injected into volunteers already suffering from cancer at Memorial Hospital, New York City, instead of minor soreness, cancer flourished. Dr. Rhoad's belief as that the natural defenses of the body can be made more effective if they are given a chance.
Dr. Warren Cole and associates at the University of Illinois report that they found 55 cases out of 400 dating back to 1890 which fulfilled the requirements for true spontaneous regression, i.e. that the body, for some unknown reason cured itself.
Dr. Tiden C. Everson of the University of Illinois College of Medicine cites 130 documented cases of cancer classified as "probably examples of spontaneous regression." The New York Times, October 22, 1963 reported Dr. Everson's findings, says, "in some of the cases documented, it seemed that something happened on the inside of the patients body within a matter of weeks, sometimes almost overnight, that made conditions unfavorable to cancer.
A study, reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association (November 1961) conducted by Drs. Peter A. Herbut, Theodore T. Tsaltas, and William H. Kraemer, found an active agent in tumor-inhibitory principle (TIP) in the liver. The Journal stated, "It appears that the normal human liver produces an inhibitory principle which it imparts not only to the blood stream, but also to the bile."
An extract was made from the guinea pig muscle, spleen, kidney, heart, brain and liver. The researchers found TIP only in the liver.
One substance apparently to help the body develop immunity to cancer is found in shark liver. Dr. JOhn H. Helles, of the New England Institute for Medical research, which is sponsoring a shark hunt, explains, as reported in Medical World News (June 19, 1964), how the shark liver substance works.
The hard- to-come-by shark lipid is a potent stimulator of a number of the body's defense activities. Its most important property is its effect on animals with either viral or nonviral tumors.
"The lipid reduces or delays the incidence of tumors, retards tumor growth, increases the life-span of tumorous animals, shows metastasis, and brings about tumor regression.
More tests are needed, but the outlook appears hopeful.
