Ginkgo Doesn't WorkOr does it?...

In August, a new study in theJournalof the American Medical Association(JAMA) said that ginkgo does notenhance memory or improve cognitiveability for healthy adults. However, HylaCass, MD, Assistant Clinical Professorof Psychiatry at the UCLA School ofMedicine, calls this study flawed andinvalid. According to Cass, the studygroup was given too small a dosage fortoo short a time.

Cass cites a 1997 JAMA study onginkgo where the placebo group lost farmore mental capacity. That study, notes

Cass, used a 240-mg dose, compared tothe 120 mg used in the present study.Cass recommends ginkgo to her patientsfor its powerful antioxidant effect andfor its ability to ameliorate memory loss.She also recommends it for patients onheavy psychiatric medications who areexperiencing difficulty with cognition.

It appears that drug companies arespending millions of dollars on studiesto deliberately discredit herbs such asginko and St. John's Wort becausetheyve become so popular. We need to

be very, very careful, says Cass, not bend to the strong bias toward the use pharmaceuticals over equally effectivnatural, safer, far less expensive proucts. Cass, a holistic psychiatrist, is tco-author, with Britain's leading nut

tionist, Patrick Holford, of a new boentitled Natural Highs: SupplemenNutrition, and Mind/Body TechniquesHelp You Feel Good All the Time (AvePenguin Putnam).

Up to 20 percent of the U.S. popula-tion gets the flu each year; 114,000 peo-ple are hospitalized and 20,000 die fromit. Preventing all this disease with flushots sounds like a great idea, but asRaymond Francis pointed out in NeverBe Sick Again, the largest study everdone on flu shots found they were use-

less. Even if they were useful, they aredangerous. This is why there are indus-try-sponsored bills in Congress toexempt vaccine manufacturers fromproduct liability laws. Wouldn't it be abetter idea to keep immunity strong byavoiding sugar, getting regular exerciseand getting plenty of vitamins A, C andE?

Mercury BannedBut not from your mouth

The U.S. Senate voted on September5th to ban the sale of fever thermometers

containing mercury. The EPA has esti-mated that mercury thermometers con-tribute 17 tons of mercury to our envi-ronment every year and that the mercu-ry from a single thermometer can con-taminate a lake 20 acres in size, makingthe fish unfit to eat. Ten states havealready banned the sale of mercury ther-mometers demonstrating a growingawareness about the toxicity of mercu-

ry in the environment.While this is a good development and

avoiding mercury in the environment isa worthy goalguess what? Dentistscan still legally put mercury in yourmouth! No one would dream of puttinga piece of toxic lead in their mouth andsucking on it 24 hours a day, yet mercu-

ry is 8,000 times more toxic than lead,and dentists can still put it in ourmouths. (Just think of how many lakesthe mercury in your mouth could con-taminate.)

Mercury in FishExposure up 500 percent

The National Academy of Sciencesestimates that 60,000 children are borneach year with neurological damage dueto mercury exposure in the womb. As itturns out, mercury is passed on to anunborn child in the womb and also afterbirth in the mother's breast milk.

Mercury can harm the developingnervous tissue in the fetus and in infants.This is why in 2001 the FDA issued anadvisory, warning pregnant women notto eat certain types of fish (includingswordfish, shark, and tilefish) and not toeat more than 12 ounces of any fish in aweek. However, canned tuna is a staplein many people's diets. Tuna is highlycontaminated with mercury, and preg-nant women and small children are bestadvised to avoid tuna.

Exercise Prevents InfectionsWe don't "catch" colds

The cold and flu season is here, sohow do you keep yourself healthy?According to a new study in Medicineand Science in Sports and Exercise, oneof the best ways to prevent a cold is toexercise. On average, American adultsget between two and five colds per year.(Healthy people live their entire liveswithout having a cold.) Yet those whoare the most physically active have the

fewest colds. Now is the time to start agood exercise program if you don'talready have one.

To prevent colds and flu, get on agood supplement program the PerqueBasic program as a minimum. Get off ofimmune-damaging sugar, get on a stressreduction program, and get plenty ofsleep and exercise. If you do get a cold,vitamin C, vitamin A, olive leaf extractand zinc lozenges are advised.

More ExerciseNew guidelines

In September, a committee at tInstitute of Medicine advised neguidelines regarding exercise. Peopwho want to stay healthy are noadvised to exercise at least one hour pday. This recommendation is double t

previous guideline of 30 minutes, whiwas established in 1996. The committsaid that this guideline also applies children, who are getting less and leexercise and suffering more obesity adiabetes.

While this may seem an impossibgoal to some people, redoing yoschedule to include more exercise islot easier than redoing it because you asick. To make things easier, the exercican be broken up and spread out throuthe day. Brisk walking, bicycling, swimming or golfing without a cart are

acceptable forms of exercise.These guidelines should not come

a surprise. Our healthy ancestors gotlot more than one hour of exercise pday, and our bodies are designed require physical activity in order function properly. As part of your execise program, BHN strongly recommends that you rebound every day on approved rebounder, most especiallyyou are not getting the one-hour requirment.

Surgery Not RecommendedWhoops...

Modern medicine has done it agaiWomen with genes indicating a hirisk for breast cancer have been advisto have their breasts surgically removeand indeed some women have made thchoice. BHN has never approved of suradical approaches to health, and nowturns out that the danger has been "ovestated." A new analysis of the origindata published in August in the Journ

of the National Cancer Institute has cocluded that the role of genes in evaluaing cancer risk has been "exaggerate(translated into plain English "flat owrong").

Very simply, the environment we createfor our cells controls the expression ofthe genes. It appears a lot more sensibleto choose a diet and lifestyle that pre-vents disease genes from expressingthan to have body parts surgicallyremoved.

Worldwide EpidemicGetting fatter...

At this year's annual meeting of theAmerican Academy for theAdvancement of Science, it wasannounced that obesity is now a globalepidemic. It was concluded that the fat-tening of the world's population is likelyto have "massive public health conse-quences."

Excessive weight and obesity are onthe rise around the world. As more ofthe world's population moves away fromtraditional diets and does less physicallydemanding work, they are getting fatterand fatter. More than six out of tenAmericans are now overweight orobese. Overweight and obesity inMexico is now approaching ours, while70 percent of adult women in Egypt arenow overweight. Fortunately, the solu-tion is simple. Go back to eating fresh,whole foods and stop eating sugar andwhite flour. Then, get regular exercise.We are the most sedentary people in thehistory of the world.

ChemotherapyIt's hypocrisy...BHN has always cautioned against

the use of chemotherapy in the treat-ment of cancer. In our opinion,chemotherapy is ineffective and danger-ous. Well, guess what? That's whatoncologists (cancer specialists) think.Nonetheless, they still recommendchemotherapy to their patients. A studyby the prestigious McGill Cancer Centerin Canada found that 72 percent ofoncologists maintained that chemother-apy would be unacceptable for them-

selves or their family because thesetoxic drugs are ineffective and danger-ous. These are the very same peoplewho tell their patients that chemothera-py will prolong their life. Is it any won-der modern medicine is in crisis?

All disease is the result of malfunc-tioning cells. To get well, these cellsmust be restored to normal function.This is done with nutrition and detoxifi-cation, not by chopping people into

smaller pieces or feeding them poison-ous chemicals.

Vegetables and StrokeIt's the potassium...

Most people do not get enough potas-sium because they don't eat enough darkgreen vegetables. A recent study inNeurology found that people with thelowest intake of potassium had the high-est risk of stroke. People taking diureticsto lower their blood pressure had aneven higher risk of stroke becausediuretics lower blood potassium levels.The researchers recommended that peo-ple pay more attention to potassiumintake, especially if they are on diuret-ics.

One problem the study did not touchon was our high intake of sodium.Americans not only eat too little potassi-um, they eat far too much salt therebyupsetting the critical sodium/potassiumbalance in the body and contributing toevery kind of disease. Consuming lesssalt and more fresh vegetables and fruitsis the obvious way to go. An abnormalsodium/potassium ratio in our cellularfluid is a common denominator of dis-ease in our society because we eat somuch processed food.

Vitamin E Protects the BrainReduces Alzheimers Risk...

Four new studies, published in major

medical journals, have found that vita-min E, from supplements or foods, canreduce the risk of developingAlzheimers disease.

Two reports out of the Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke Medical Center inChicago highlighted the protectiveeffectiveness of vitamin E. In one study,815 elderly men and women weretracked for an average of four years.During this time, those who had con-sumed the largest amounts of vitamin Ewere 70 percent less likely to developAlzheimers disease, compared with

people who ate little vitamin E.In a separate study, the diets and sup-plement habits of 2,889 people, ages 65to 102 were analyzed. The subjects weregiven four standard tests to assess theircognitive function, including memory,at the beginning of the study, and afterthree years. In this case, subjects whoconsumed the most vitamin E, from sup-plements or foods, had a 36 percentreduction in cognitive decline, com-

pared with people who consumed littvitamin E. People getting large amounof vitamin E from foods alone had a 3percent lower reduction of cognitivdecline. Based on the tests, people taing or eating the most vitamin E hamental function eight to nine yeayounger than those who consumed litt

of the vitamin.In addition to protection again

Alzheimers disease, vitamin E is alsopowerful antioxidant helping to proteagainst cancer and heart disease. In study of 2,000 people with advanceheart disease published in the Lancethose who took 400 to 800 IU of vitamE daily lowered their risk of nonfatheart attacks by 77 percent.

Vitamin E can be found in such fooas nuts and seeds, brans and legumeand vegetable oils. However, BHN reommends against the use of vegetaboils because they are highly processeand dangerous to your health. InsteBHN recommends Barianis olive oand supplementing with high-qualivitamin E such as Unique E.

Pessimists LoseOptimists win...

Not surprising, but worth noting, omore study has confirmed what walready know. A recent study in thMayo Clinic Proceedings has found thoptimists have the best health over thlong-term and pessimists have thworst.

A study that began in 1962 has founthat people who have an optimistic oulook on life live longer and have highratings in all areas of health, while pesimists have the lowest. Just as we awhat we eat, we are also what we thinEvery thought has an effect on the bodfor better or for worse. As always, tchoice is yours. Life is about makinchoices and then living with the consquences. Why not choose to put goothoughts into your mindthoughts

love, compassion, and caringand rethe benefits of a happier, healthier anlonger life? Be excited about life anyou will reap a rich harvest.

Question: At lot of my relatives have had cancer and I amconcerned about myself. I recently saw ads in the newspaperfor Full Body Scans and I was wondering if this was a goodthing to do.

D.C. Brooklyn, NY

Answer: Full body CT Scans promise peace of mind, and a

physicians referral is not required. They usually cost in therange of $800 to $1,500 and the results are almost immediate-ly available. The suppliers of these services claim that it isgood preventive medicine and that problems can be detectedearly when the cure rates are the highest.

In my opinion, a Full Body Scan is something to do only ifyou want to get cancer, not if you want to avoid cancer.Radiation from medical X-rays may be our leading cause ofcancer, and these scans expose you to a lot of radiation. Theradiation from just one body scan is equal to about 150 chestx-rays, and some of the machines and/or operators delivereven higher dosages. Thomas Lee, Jr., a professor of medicineat Harvard Medical School, said that "It is impossible to finda doctor in favor of these scans who doesnt have a financial

interest in a scanning facility." A good alternative would be afull-body Thermography. This is a safe, non-invasive proce-dure that measures temperature and can be correlated withvarious disease conditions and pre-conditions.

Question: If you have cancer, do you have to eliminate sugarfrom your diet?

W.V. Woodside, CA

Answer:Yes! All refined sugar mustbe removed from the dietof cancer patients. (Of course, no one should be eating refinedsugar in the first place.) Sugar is a "virulent, deadly poison"and a major cause of disease in our society. That said, it iscriminally negligent that the 4 million cancer patients in thiscountry are not being advised by their doctors to avoid sugar.(It is also criminally negligent that young children are allowedto consume such a dangerous poison.)

Sugar feeds cancer cells. The way a cell makes energy isfundamentally different in cancer cells. Normal cells "burn"(oxidize) fuel to create energy. Cancer cells ferment sugar tocreate energy. However, this "anaerobic" process is inefficient;it is only 5 percent as efficient as oxidation. This is why can-cer patients lack energy and waste away. To create the sameamount of energy as a healthy cell, cancer cells need 20 timesas much fuelthat fuel is sugar. Whenever you eat sugar, thesugar content of the blood goes upthereby delivering morefuel to the cancer cells and allowing them to grow. Givingsugar to a cancer patient is like throwing gasoline on a fire.

Numerous studies have found strong connections betweencancer and sugar. Large-scale epidemiological studies havefound that sugar consumption contributes to high breast can-cer rates. Experimental animals with cancer have a survivalrate directly correlated with blood sugar levels. Human stud-ies have found that consuming sugar inhibits the ability ofimmune cells to destroy cancer cells.

It is absolutely essential that cancer patients eat a diet thatwill keep their blood sugar levels in the normal range. MostAmericans have very high blood sugar levels. Levels of 126

mg/dL and above are considered diabetic and anything lethan 110 mg/dL is considered normal for an AmericaHowever, unlike Americans, normal blood sugar for humais less than 90 mg/dL. Since blood sugar is easy to measurthis is something cancer patients should be doing. High-quaity supplements are essential to normalizing blood sugar aseating a diet of fresh vegetables, high quality organic eggs a

meat and lesser amounts of fruits, nuts, whole grains, aseeds. No sugar, white flour, white rice, dairy or processoils allowed!

Question: My father has been diagnosed with Parkinsondisease. He is on L-dopa. Is that okay for him to take?

S.H. Rahway, N

Answer: I am not a medical doctor and I cannot tell yofather what to take. However, you asked for my opinion, ahere it is. In my opinion, there are many things your fathshould be doing, and the first thing is to get off L-dopa. Theis a good reason why medical intervention is the leading cauof death in America. It is because virtually all medication

including L-dopa, do more harm than good.Parkinsons is a progressive neurological disease and us

ally occurs in the middle-aged and elderly. It often starts wia tremor in one hand and may not become incapacitating fmany years. With full-blown disease, the facial expressionoften fixed, eyes are unblinking and staring, and walkibecomes slow and shuffling. L-dopa appears to help thepatients, but in the long run it kills them. L-dopa interferwith the ability of cells to make the high energy compounATP. With time, because the cells can no longer make enouATP, they die. When enough cells die, the patient dies and tdisease is history. This is how modern medicine curParkinsons.

Chronic degenerative diseases are all inflammatory nature, including Parkinsons. Therefore it is important wthis or any chronic disease to get on a diet that does not prmote inflammation. Getting all of the poisonous, inflammatry foods out of the diet is essential. This means no sugar, whflour, dairy, or processed oils. Unfortunately, most people not associate white flour with deadly foods like pasta, so thavoid white bread and eat pasta made with white flour. Gettioff all gluten-containing foods such as wheat and rye is alessential. No processed food should be in the diet, especialany that contain toxins such as hydrogenated oils and artificcolors, flavors, and preservatives. Frequent saunas to help grid of stored toxins would also be helpful. After avoidininflammatory foods and eating more fresh veretables, get ongood supplement program with lots of high quality antioxdant, anti-inflammatory nutrients such as vitamins A, C, aE, CoQ10, quercitin, selenium and omega-3 fatty acidCoQ10 also slows the progression and does not require a prscription.

In addition, there are medical pioneers who are having sucess in slowing down and even arresting the progression Parkinsons. One technique is to administer intravenous gltathione, 1,000 to 1,400 mg, two to three times a week. Thoption requires the help of a medical doctor and treatments eveweek, but for those who can do it, it appears to be worthwhile


Q U E S T I O N S & A N S W E R S

Question: Recently I have been reading that Canola oil is notgood for you. I have used Canola for years and it is in manyof the products I buy at the health food store such as granolabars. I would like to know what you think?

M.M. Cambridge, MA

Answer: I have never approved of Canola oil and have neverused it myself. This product is the result of genetic manipula-tion. It is highly processed and, in my opinion, toxic.

Canola oil comes from rapeseed. Rapeseed contains a toxincalled erucic acid, which damages the heart. A group ofCanadians genetically manipulated the seed to produce a vari-ety low in erucic acid. Then they chose a new name that wasmore saleable to the public. Out of "Canadian oil" came theword "Canola." Canola has been advertised to the public as ahealthy oil because it contains about 10 percent omega-3 fattyacids and most people are deficient in omega-3s.

While canola oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, they may bedoing you more harm than good. Canola oil has to be exten-sively processed to make saleable oil. It has a strong odor so

it has to be deodorized at high temperatures. The result of thisprocessing is that the omega-3 oils are changed into trans-fattyacids. Trans-fatty acids are toxic. They interfere with fattyacid metabolism and get incorporated into cell membraneswhere they cause cellular malfunction. In July of this year, apanel of the National Academy of Sciences determined thatthere was no safe level of trans-fatty acids. The panel foundthat trans fats have a powerful association with heart disease.The Canadians claim that the amount of trans fats in the oil isonly 0.2 percent. Since there is no safe level, that is too much,but even worse, a study of various brands at the University ofFlorida found up to 4.6 percent trans fats.

Perhaps even more enlightening is a series of studies onanimals. Rats fed Canola oil end up with heart lesions and

vitamin E deficiency. Yet Canola oil is found in many productssold in health food stores, including the granola bars you men-tioned. The only oils I use are Barleans flaxseed oil, Barianiolive oil and Udos Choice.

Question: I have had a series of kidney stones. Is there any-thing special I should be doing to prevent a recurrence?

S.R. Skokie, IL

Answer: As with any disease, the first thing to do is get on agood diet. In the case of kidney stones, a low-salt, low-animalprotein diet along with increased water consumption has beenproven to cut the recurrence of stones in half.Supplementation with calcium is also essential. (Perque Bone

Guard would be the supplement of choice.)

Question: Are eggs good to eat if you are pregnant?R.D. Carmel, CA

Answer: Real eggs are a good food and are okay to eat any-timeespecially if pregnant. What you have to stay awayfrom is the make-believe, toxic, egg-shaped objects sold insupermarkets. Those will make anyone sick. Commercialchickens are fed nutritionally deficient chicken feed that islaced with toxins. Real eggs are organically produced with

chickens that are fed a minimum of grains. They eat a naturdiet out in the pasture where they consume insects, wormdandelions, pigweed, and other plants. A natural diet allofor development of essential nutrients in the egg that help create and sustain health, while minimizing a build-up of toins in the egg.

Real eggs should be consumed during pregnancy becaueggs contain fatty acids that are necessary for the proper bradevelopment of the fetus. Including some organic ghee (clafied butter) in the diet would also be helpful.

Once the baby starts to eat solid food, some real egscrambled over low heat with a little ghee would be an exclent "brain food." The Japanese prize eggs as a brain food, aeggs are even important to older people. A study Alzheimers disease at the University of California Berkeley found that men in their 80s who were free Alzheimers were those who consumed at least one egg dai

If you are a vegan, you must be especially careful to masure you are obtaining the essential fatty acids necessary build a healthy brain and nervous system. A study in t

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that the majoty of vegans were deficient in the fatty acids required for nomal brain and nervous function.

Question: What is the safest way to cook foods?R.T.M. San Antonio, T

Answer: The safest way to cook food is at the lowest possibtemperature that will do the job, and that is usually the teperature of steam or boiling water. Cooked food is a majcontributor to our epidemic of chronic disease. Anyone suffing from a chronic disease and hoping to get well would best advised to avoid cooked foods as much as possible. Wwere never designed to eat cooked foods, but we seem hook

on them, so the least we can do is to cook in the safest wpossible. Steaming, boiling, and stewing food is the safest wto cook. At this temperature, less damage is done to the nutents and fewer toxins are created.

Since modern foods are already nutritionally deficiedamaging nutrients with heat just makes a bad situation worHeat also changes the molecular structure of the food. Thealtered molecules present a challenge to the digestive systesince the body was not designed to handle them (we lack tenzymes). This is one reason why pasteurized milk is so toxHeat from the pasteurization process changes the structure protein molecules in the milk. This is why I dont approve using protein powders; they have been subjected to heat. fact, studies prove that the higher the temperature at which

food is cooked, the more difficult it becomes to digest. Thealtered molecules cannot be digested properly. Undigestethey fail to supply us with nutrients. They then rot in the digetive system producing dangerous toxins. These toxins poisnormal bacteria in the gut and produce an overgrowth abnormal bacteria and yeasts. These toxins also irritate gut tsue and cause it to become "leaky." Very simply, the longand hotter you cook a food, the more difficult it is to digand the longer it stays in the gut causing numerous problem

When the gut becomes leaky, molecules of undigested fopass into the bloodstream where they cause immune dama

ing, allergic reactions. Constant allergic reactions exhaust theimmune system and open us to disease of every kind fromcolds to AIDS to cancer. These undigested molecules can trav-el throughout the body and cause problems in various tissuesand thereby cause myriad symptoms including migraines,sneezing, sinusitis, perspiration, itchy ears, schizophrenia,fatigue, anger, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, acne, and psoriasis.

Cooking food at temperatures higher than boiling water notonly alters the molecular structure of the food, it also createsdangerous toxins. Recent discoveries have found the presenceof cancer-causing acrylamide in baked and fried starchy foodssuch as potato chips and french fries. Meat cooked at hightemperature forms a host of cancer causing chemicals knownas heterocyclic amines. This is why a study by the NationalCancer Institute found that people who eat well-done meathave three times the cancer risk of those who eat their meatrare.

All this helps to explain why there is an immune responsein anyone eating a cooked food. The immune system respondsto cooked food as if you had just been exposed to toxic chem-icals, infectious agents, or traumatic injury. Cooking food hasbeen a disaster for humankind.

Question: What is coral calcium and do you recommend itfor calcium intake. Is it better than the other forms of calcium?

T.H. Internet

Answer: Coral calcium is ground up coral. This is a goodsource of calcium for plants, but a poor source for humans.Inorganic minerals enrich soil, but minerals must be convert-ed by plants into organic forms to be useful in the humanbody. I still recommend Perque Bone Guard as the best sourceof calcium I have ever found. Bone Guard is not only thepurest, but the most highly bioavailable. I have seen it do mir-

acles for people as it remineralizes and strengthens weakenedbone tissue.

Question: Because of you, I dont use regular toothpaste orshampoo any longer. I know that the regular ones are toxic, butwhat do they do to you?

I.T. Amarillo, TX

Answer: Most people have no idea how toxic and dangeroustoothpaste, shampoo, skin cream, sunscreens, moisturizers,perfume, aftershave, cosmetics, deodorants, and other person-al care products can be. The problem is these products areused daily or very frequently, leading to a slow bioaccumula-tion of the toxins they contain. After a few decades of frequent

use, you have a lot of chemicals stored in your body thatshouldnt be there. Few people know that their skin and themucus membranes in the mouth are semipermeable and thatcertain chemicals can go right through these tissues into thebloodstream and bioaccumulate in tissues throughout thebody. Consider just a few of the toxins (many of these sametoxins are in processed foods) that can be found in toothpastesuch as artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors, preservatives,emulsifiers, detergents, and fluoride. No wonder there is awarning on the box to rush to the nearest hospital if you swal-low it!

Long before you fall over dead from these poisons, herewhat happens and why these chemicals are so dangerous. Tfirst thing they do is screw up the ability of your cells to communicate with each other. This is a devastating event, becauthe body is a self-repairing, self-regulating system threquires efficient, ongoing, cell-to-cell communication order to maintain balance. This condition of balance is callhomeostasis. Scientists are amazed by the speed at which ocell is able to communicate with all the other cells in yobody to maintain homeostasisto keep your blood sugtemperature, immune system, hormones, and thousands upthousands of other functions in balance. Homeostasis depenon communication, and communication is the first thing drupted by these manmade chemicals, often at extremely lolevels of exposure.

You may have heard me say this many timesthere is onone disease. When a cell malfunctions, that is disease. Sincells can malfunction in many ways, we end up with thosands of so-called diseases. However there are commdenominator malfunctions that occur in every disease, and oof them is garbled communications. Every so-called diseawhether it be arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes, or cacer, involves impaired communications, and thats why toopaste, shampoo and other personal care products are so daaging to human health. Once your communications aimpaired, you are no longer able to self-regulate and maintahomeostasisyou are now diseasedwhether you haobservable symptoms or not.

Unfortunately, most Americans are bioaccumulatibetween 300 and 500 manmade chemicals in their bodies.you think that these chemicals are just hanging around doinothing, you are sadly mistaken. Thats why you need to usafe personal care products such as Weleda toothpaste and tother acceptable products approved by Beyond Health. A

by the way, every time you purchase one of these produfrom Beyond Health, you are helping to support our researso we can continue to find and recommend the best to youhope this answers your question about how these chemicadamage us. I feel very strongly that no one, especially chdren, should be using these dangerous products.

Question: Since antibiotics kill good bacteria in the digestisystem, is it okay to take antibiotics if you take a good adophilus like Perque Dophilus along with them?

N.B. Oakland, C

Answer: First of all, an antibiotic is rarely necessary as theare many safer alternatives. If an antibiotic is necessary th

taking a high-quality dophilus supplement like Perque essential. (Remember that studies show about 85 percent of dophilus formulas are biologically worthless.) However, tdamage done by these deadly drugs goes far beyond destroing the good bacteria in your digestive system, especiallyyou take them on a regular basis such as for acne. Inhibitithe growth of a pathogen in the body usually involves the inhbition of its protein synthesis. However, it must be remebered that antibiotics will also inhibit critical protein synthsis in your cells. Protein synthesis is critical to life, ainhibiting it can cause myriad problems.

taken over a long period of time, these drugs can do a lot ofdamage. Antibiotics often trigger arthritis, autoimmune dis-eases, and many other problems.

Question: I have rheumatoid arthritis. I am on the BeyondHealth Comprehensive supplement program and it has madea world of difference. Please tell me if there is anything else

I can be doing.?D.T. Coral Gables, FL

Answer: I am pleased that the supplements have helped.Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that is multi-causal and polysystemic. It takes a lot of hard work to get itand even more to get rid of it. Getting off of most cookedfoods is important. Raw foods and fresh vegetable juices area real plus. Lots of vitamin C is important; you should be atbowel tolerance. Getting enough essential fatty acids isessential, and drinking plenty of pure water is also important.

Many autoimmune syndromes are driven by food aller-gies. Diagnosing such allergies is essential. In one test ofover 6,000 patients, allergies were seen to play a roll in 85percent of the arthritics tested. One experiment you can do isto remove all the gluten from your diet. A high percentage ofarthritics will respond well to a gluten-free diet. In fact, a lotof arthritics have gone into complete remission with this sim-ple advice. A completely gluten-free diet is not easy to do,especially if you eat out. You will need to avoid all wheat,barley, rye, spelt, and oats. Try this for two or three weeksand see what happens. You could then try the same experi-ment with other common allergens such as dairy, yeast, eggs,chocolate, corn, peanuts, oranges, and nightshades (toma-toes, potatoes, eggplants, and peppers).

Question: I was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider. The bitebecame painful and I developed a large lesion with blistersall around it and a high fever. My doctor treated it withantibiotics. Someone told me that the doctor should havesurgically removed the venom, and I wonder if he did theright thing in not doing surgery. The lesion is getting better,but I still have feelings that shoot down my leg and I am con-cerned. Are there any alternative treatments that you knowof?

M.M. Fort Lauderdale, FL

Answer: The brown recluse spider is found primarily in theMidwestern states. However, it can be easily transported toother parts of the country and it is possible, though less like-ly, to be bitten by one in just about any state. Brown reclusebites have the potential to destroy tissue and create deepulcers. In the majority of cases there may be no reaction,except for a mild stinging sensation. In a minority of cases,there is a systemic reaction typified by fever, chills, nausea,joint pain and weakness. Depending on the amount of venominjected and the individual susceptibility to it, wounds maydevelop that take months to heal and even require skin grafts.Some people are particularly sensitive to recluse spider bites,and these people may require amputation of toes and fingers.

Brown recluse venom contains enzymes that disrupt cellmembranes, causing cell and tissue death. Capillaries can be

destroyed, shutting off the blood supply to tissue, causing tis-sue death and gaping wounds. Other components of thevenom can initiate systemic immune reactions. This venomhas a peculiar property of deep penetration into tissue andremaining there for years. In rare cases, reactions may occuryears later, even in other parts of the body, causing tissueloss.

To address your question about surgery for the bite; it isprobably fortunate that your doctor did not do surgery.Surgical excision of the recluse spider bite is controversialand several studies have associated it with increased tissuebreakdown. Surgery does not necessarily get all of the venomout and serious tissue damage can still result, thus com-pounding the damage caused by the surgery. In fact, as withmost modern medical treatments, recluse spider treatmentsaddress only the symptoms and usually do more harm thangood. Current drug treatments include antibiotics, antihista-mines, and steroid hormones. All of these merely addresssymptoms by suppressing inflammation or the infection indying tissue. As these toxic medications wreck their harm onthe body, they do nothing to deal with the spider venomwhich is what is causing the problem in the first place.

As for alternative approaches, there are several includingherbal treatments, high voltage shock, hyperbaric oxygenand homeopathic remedies. Homeopathic treatment withLachesis (a snake remedy) appears to be effective in neutral-izing the venom. Of course, this would be best done underthe supervision of a good homeopath.

Hyperbaric oxygen treatments appear to help in two ways.Increasing the oxygen content of tissue deactivates the potentenzymes in the spider venom, thereby stopping the damageto cell membranes and tissue. In addition, the oxygen killsthe bacteria that are feeding on the dead tissue, thereby effec-tively stopping that infection, without requiring antibiotics.

High voltage shock has been reported in the literature asbeing very effective. This technique uses high voltage withlow amperage direct current. The voltage deactivates theenzymes in the venom. As with the above treatments, shocktreatment should be done under professional supervision asthe sudden release of toxins and foreign proteins can put aload on the kidneys and other body systems. This treatmentis usually accomplished using a personal protection stun gunAn extension wire is attached to one of the guns electrodeswith an alligator clip and that wire is clipped to the oppositeside of the wound with a claw clip. The other electrode isthen pressed against the skin to get good contact and onesecond bursts are administered five or six times in a circlearound the perimeter of the lesion. If problems persist, youmay want to consider one of these options.
