There is no better prescription for health than empowering yourself with knowledge, and taking action on the lifestyle changes and health care services that best suit your personal needs. Heath care in the United States is now in transition, with the increasing use of complementary and alternative approaches.

Complementary care is defined as modalities that are outside the parameters of conventional medicine, such as naturopathy, nutrition, herbalism, homeopathy, energy medicine, chiropractic, Traditional Chinese Medicine, meditation, hypnosis and many other health approaches.

According to Health Services Research, 63 percent of U.S. adults use some form of CAM (Complimentary and Alternative Medicine), and health care providers, including doctors and nurses, are up to three times more likely to use CAM than health care support workers. The majority take an integrative approach, incorporating conventional with holistic treatments. Most visit alternative practitioners more frequently than primary care physicians, even though most of these approaches are not covered by insurance programs.Those most likely to use CAM therapies in greater numbers than the general population are those in rehabilitation centers and those diagnosed with cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease.

The shift is being fueled by some alarming statistics. Health Affairs, a journal of health policy, thought and research, reports the United States ranks 49th for life expectancy worldwide (down from 5th place in 1950).

Researchers from the Mayo Clinic, a non-profit medical and research center, report that nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug, and more than half receive at least two prescriptions. Twenty percent of U.S. patients were also found to be on five or more prescription medications. A recent report by The Centers for Disease Control stated that one hundred people pass away from drug overdoses every day in the United States, and that drug overdose death rates in the U.S. have more than tripled since 1990 and have never been higher.

Death statistics for 2009, the most recent available, showed that 37,485 ,000 people died from drugs, mostly prescription , compared to 36,284 deaths from traffic accidents.

These calamitous statistics, coupled with the highest rates of chronic disease in our history, are propelling the general population to take more responsibility for its own health. In fact, doctors and other health care practitioners are referring Americans to use mind/body approaches in greater numbers than ever before, in part, because consumers are demanding it. This has led to the inclusion of alternative medicine courses in fields such as herbs and acupuncture in many medical schools.

The appeal of holistic approaches are the common, fundamental principles of healing on which they are based, which promote health rather than focus on illness.Most enhance the body’s self healing ability, address underlying causes of illness, recognize the mind, body and spirit as inseparable, advocate self care and recognize the electromagnetic and energetic nature of the body. They also emphasize communication between patient and healer, individualize treatment, promote a lifestyle of natural foods and supplements, appreciate intuition and view the healing process as a return to wholeness.

At Integrated Health International, we advocate a proactive approach to health, incorporating these life-enhancing principles daily to bypass the onset of disease. We’ll know a new paradigm of health has truly emerged when we no longer need to use terms like “alternative” and “complementary”, and these approaches are integrated with the best of conventional health care to become the standard.

In the pages of this edition, we present renowned experts who will enlighten you about the deadly threat of genetically engineered foods and how to avoid them, healing your life versus healing disease, new ways of looking at and overcoming cancer, forgiveness as a pathway to health and wholeness, and much more. We’ve gathered their expertise here, so that you may weave it into your daily self care, and create your greatest health tapestry of spirit, mind and body.

Mother Teresa, when asked to attend an anti–war rally refused, responding to those requesting her attendance by saying,“But if you ever have a peace rally, let me know and I will attend.”

We are not killers, consciously or unconsciously, and yet when you listen to the language of medicine you hear words like poison, blast, kill, amputate, destroy, eliminate, assault and more. Unfortunately, doctors are not taught how to communicate with patients and so our words and the words given to patients to read induce negative side affects. The words are coming from an authority and have an hypnotic influence. They tell you all the things which can go wrong but do not tell you what can go right. So wordswordsword are swordswordswords. Yes, they become swords which can kill or cure as a scalpel can. If we told patients that their treatment was therapeutic and then explained there were side affects but they do not happen to every patient, you would go home with a different feeling and option then being told all the side affects and none of the benefits. When given placebos, patients have had their hair fall out and tumors shrink because they were told that is what would happen.

We also have to remember that all the side affects of cancer are not bad. There are blessings to be found in

every curse. When accepting your mortality redirects your life and helps you to heal your life and find the ability to love, you will understand what I mean.

Dave, a Quaker and friend of mine with cancer, went to see his oncologist. His oncologist said to him. “I am going to kill your cancer.” Dave answered, “I’m a Quaker. I don’t kill anything.” And he walked out the door. Dave lived for twelve years doing alternative therapies. I do a lot of work with drawings and imagery and tried to get Dave to think of his immune system as soldiers or police cleaning out the cancer, but Dave could not work with those aggressive images. His drawing shows his white cells carrying his cancer cells away. He wouldn’t hurt anything.

When we focus on waging a war or fighting a battle versus healing our lives and bodies we are interfering with the healing process. Another patient I know had a large mediastinal tumor and she was told by someone to image her white blood cells as dogs eating it up. Nothing happened. One day she shared that she was not comfortable being aggressive and saw her tumor as a block of ice with God’s light melting it and then it literally began to melt away.

I also see in these drawings people showing God as the source of radiation therapy and in the operating room, or holding them in the palm of His hand while they receive a

WAGING A WAR AGAINST CANCER VERSUS HEALING YOUR LIFE by BERNIE SIEGEL, MD

bone marrow transplant. Studies show these patients are more likely to survive and have fewer side affects. I have also seen the horrendous side affects of radiation upon a woman who said, “When they put me in the room and shut the door it reminded me of the gas chamber in the concentration camp I had been in.”

When our minds and bodies are involved in a battle and a war, our response is one of protection. That means we are prepared to run for our lives as our blood is diverted to parts of our brain and bodies which help us to escape. Stress hormone levels are elevated and immune function is suppressed during this time.

When we are involved in healing and see life as a labor pain of self birthing, then the side affects are diminished and our body is reprogrammed to grow and heal as the stress level is reduced and immune function enhanced. What impressed me years ago and has kept me involved in mind/ body work is learning from the people who don’t die when they are supposed to.

Women live longer than men with the same cancers and so do married men compared to single men. The reason is not female hormones and sleeping with them but their relationships and connections. I knew a mother of nine who said, “I have nine kids and I can’t die until they are all married and out of the house.” Twenty three years later her ninth kid left home and her cancer came back. It amazed me that she could do that but sad that when she wasn’t a mother her life had no meaning. What I want everyone to do is find your unique, authentic self and not live a role or a life imposed upon you by others.

Another patient of mine was a landscaper who developed stomach cancer when he retired. He delayed surgery,

because it was spring time, to go home and make the world beautiful, “So if I die I’ll leave a beautiful world.” When I told him post-operatively that I couldn’t remove all the cancer and he needn’t chemotherapy and perhaps radiation he said, “You forgot something. It’s still spring time; I am going home to make the world beautiful. So if I die I’ll leave a beautiful world.” John died at age ninety-four with no sign of cancer.

These were people who were living each day and not involved in avoiding dying. They accepted their mortality and lived meaningful lives. How many of us truly do what feels good for us to do and are capable of saying no to things that we do not want to do?

When you heal your life and find peace of mind your body gets the message too. Everything I am saying is scientific. We are capable of genetic changes and spontaneous reversals just as bacteria, viruses and plants do to resist antibiotics, vaccines and environmental changes. Our genes become active in response to the internal environment. Most women with a gene for breast cancer do not develop it. Twin sisters with the gene for breast cancer do not both develop the disease. The sister more likely

to do so is the one who internalizes her anger and spends her life pleasing her parents and everyone else.

I am not saying this to place blame but to awaken you to the choices you have in your life. We are changed internally by the way we act. If I put you in a play, as an actor, I can enhance your health in a comedy and damage it in a tragedy. I know two patients who tired of their therapy, went home with extensive cancer and “Left their troubles to God.” And their cancers disappeared. No wars just peace. ...continued on p6

“When you heal your life and f ind peace of mind your body gets the message too. Everything I am saying is scientif ic. We are capable of genetic changes and spontaneous reversals...”

So go and find what is right for you as treatment for your disease. If you are afraid of dying then do everything everyone suggests. If it is doing what is right for you and what brings you peace then go with it and know you will have fewer side affects when you decide which labor pains are worthwhile and of your choosing. I meet people who hate vegetables and would prefer chemotherapy as treatment so they can enjoy their meals at home with the family. The choice of the road to healing is yours.

Remember we all die some day and if you do things to not die you will be very bitter when you get to Heaven. The way to beat cancer is related to how you live your life and the experience and what you teach others. None of us will live forever. Death is neither a failure nor losing the battle though again, the way most doctors talk you would think it is. Let me close with a poem sent to me.

Dr. Siegel, who prefers to be called Bernie, not Dr. Siegel, was born in Brooklyn, NY. He attended Colgate University and Cornell University Medical College. He holds membership in two scholastic honor societies, Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha and graduated with honors. His surgical training took place at Yale New Haven Hospital,

West Haven Veteran’s Hospital and the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. He retired from practice as an assistant clinical professor of surgery at Yale of general and pediatric surgery in 1989 to speak to patients and their caregivers.

For many, Bernie needs no introduction. He has touched many lives all over our planet. In 1978 he began talking about patient empowerment and the choice to live fully and die in peace. As a physician, who has cared for and counseled innumerable people whose mortality has been threatened by an illness, Bernie embraces a philosophy of living and dying that stands at the forefront of the medical ethics and spiritual issues our society grapples with today. He continues to assist in the breaking of new ground in the field of healing and personally struggling to live the message of kindness and love.

Sixty years ago, the doors of Hippocrates Health Institute (HHI) opened after our founder Ann Wigmore successfully reversed metastasized stage 4 cancer. Ann had consulted Harvard physicians, who predicted her cancer would kill her in 90 days.

HHI—the world’s first residential life change center—moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, three decades ago. Over the decades, we have had the opportunity to work with hundreds and thousands of people from around the world who were enduring cancer. Hippocrates has conducted clinical research on our methods and their effects, and we have come to some concrete solutions as to what cancer is and how to best help the body reverse it.

Modern medicine—and even the majority of alternative medicine—sees this threatening malady in the wrong light. The misguided consensus is that cells magically start to divide abnormally, causing one to contract this disease. Traditional medicine, and what we have discovered at HHI, maps the body as an electromagnetic force that needs to be charged and maintained throughout life. This charge enables each cell to resist the free radical damage (renegade electric charge) and ensuing cancer. Without fail, the organic uncooked plant based cuisine that we encourage people to consume inherently supply the body with naturally occurring bio frequency.

Healthy cells contain 75 Hz.Living organic vegetables, sprouts, nuts, seeds, grains, beans, sea vegetables and fresh water algae harbor more than enough current to satisfy the human body’s needs and maintain abundant health. Beyond food, HHI utilizes state of the art, cutting edge noninvasive therapies like CyberScan, ONDAMED, biofeedback testing, cold laser, H-Wave, etc. These medicine technologies are the new frontier, helping us literally jumpstart the drained cellular batteries that precipitate all disease ...continued on p10

and others speak to the researchers and physicians about their hard work and results. You can view her testimony and others by visiting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQT0HKb_CyM. Living food for Optimum Health, LifeForce, Killer Clothes, Killer Fish, and other books can help you take the first steps to reclaim your life. Dr. Anna Maria Clement’s books Healthful Cuisine and A Families’ Guide to Health & Healing will further enhance your knowledge. You have the ability to write the script for your future. Do not be a bystander and allow your existence to slip away. We at Hippocrates Health Institute welcome you to visit us in sunny West Palm Beach and learn how to prevent disease and premature aging, as well as conquer any disorders that threaten you.

These medicine technologies are the new frontier, helping us literally jumpstart the drained cellu la r batteries that precipitate all disease.

Beyond the enhancement of the electrical body, HHI directly addresses one’s emotional state, since the area that projects or detracts the most current is consciousness. Each guest receives advanced forms of psychotherapy, providing them the ability to unravel the cross circuitry of unresolved issues. Our greatest drain is negative thoughts. Psychoneuroimmunology opens the floodgates, allowing blocked energy to move freely through the meridian systems of the body. Tens of thousands of people have taken total responsibility for their lives by adopting the Hippocrates lifestyle and reversing catastrophic disease. These numbers mount yearly, with the thousands who attend our Life Transformation Program. Experience, scientific validation and most importantly, results have monmentally established Hippocrates Health Institute as the leader in the field of natural healthcare.

Several years ago, Susan Maharaj was referred to HHI by her cousin, a renowned stem cell physician. Susan came to us frightened, confused and ill with breast cancer. She likened coming to the institute to arriving on a new planet. Slowly she relaxed, and began to absorb the guidance and education that we afford all participants. Since arriving home after her Hippocrates stay, Susan has continued to live this life of integrity. She reversed her cancer and is enjoying her regained health to the fullest.

Recently, we conducted a medical research conference “Food is Medicine” on the HHI campus and had Susan

Dr. Connealy attended the University of Texas School of Public Health, and then attended the University of Health Sciences Chicago Medical School. She completed her post-graduate training at the Harbor/UCLA Medical Center.

Dr. Connealy soon realized that conventional medicine had very lim-

ited returns and did not always improve the health of her patients. Her patients were hungry for alternative approaches for improving their health. This led her to study integrative and complementary therapies, and since then she has revolutionized the landscape of medicine. Dr. Connealy feels that we must treat the patient with the disease and not the disease of the patient. She has discovered that many factors contribute to the disease process; therefore, many modalities must be used to reverse it.

OF LOOKING AT-AND TREATING-CANCERBy Leigh Erin Connealy, M.D

In 1971, when President Richard M. Nixon initiated the War on Cancer, the average person had a 1 in 10 risk of developing cancer in his or her lifetime. Today, that’s changed – for the worse. The risk is now 1 in 2 for men and 1 in 3 for women. Maybe it’s premature to say we’ve lost the war, but we certainly aren’t winning it either.

There is good news, too, though. The idea that cancer is actually a chronic disease that patients can live with – comfortably -- for years, is creating a revolution in cancer care, transforming a disease that is traditionally consid-ered to be a death sentence into a far less threatening, manageable illness. You may be wondering if I can support that statement with solid science. And the answer is, yes. Let’s look at some facts. You have cancer. So do I. In fact, right now, we all have roughly 75 million cancer cells in our bodies. Relatively small portions of our trillions of cells are cancerous. In healthy people, those cells are targeted by the immune system, which prevents them from becoming something more serious. The key words are “healthy people.” Individuals who eat poorly, don’t exercise, and fail to follow guidelines of good health are putting themselves at risk for cancer. According to a report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, only 1.2% of Americans met all cardiovascular health recommendations:

• Not smoking• Being physically active• Controlling blood pressure• Maintaining healthy levels of blood sugar • Maintaining healthy blood cholesterol levels • Maintaining healthy body weight • Eating a balanced, healthy diet

Personally, I would add a few things:

• Practicing regular detoxification• Keeping an eye on your body’s acidity• Getting sufficient sleep• Drinking plenty of fresh, filtered water• Practicing stress management regularly These are things that we control. Yes, it’s hard, but I know these changes can be made; I’ve seen people do it. The truth is, cancer is another chronic ailment that we can learn to live with. Every day, more survivors are discovering that life with cancer can be much better than they ever imagined.

Your HealthWHAT FORGIVENESS IS NOT:Forgiveness is not forgetting, which would make the victim unconscious of the offense. Forgiveness is not an excuse, which would fail to hold the offender responsible for his or her behavior. Forgiveness does not condone the offender’s behavior, which would fail to regard the hurtful behavior as something to forgive. And forgiveness is not reconciliation, which would regard the relationship as restored.

FORGIVENESS DEFINED:Forgiveness is a process by which an injured person lets go of negative emotions, and has an increased ability to wish the offender well. Specifically, when you no longer demand any change in the being of the person who hurt you, you have forgiven that person. Very broadly, to forgive is to let go of the demand that the past be any different than it was.

THE BENEFITS OF FORGIVENESS:If you decide to wait until those who have wronged you become worthy of your forgiveness, you will wait forever for inner peace, in the midst of your suffering. If you believe, “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth and a limb for a limb,” then your entire world will be blind, toothless and lame. The truth is you cannot find inner peace without forgiveness.

The emotional reason to forgive is to obtain the univer-sally valued benefits of forgiveness. The most common benefit of forgiveness is inner peace. In fact, the only way to achieve peace of mind is to alter the painful thoughts you have been harboring within yourself. You cannot have inner peace by holding on to the same thoughts that cause you to feel hurt, angry, depressed, or miserable.

The path of un-forgiveness, of holding a grudge, simply adds suffering to the pain of the original offense. On another level, the physical reason to forgive is rev-ealed in research that shows people who forgive are happier and healthier than those who hold resentments. Forgiveness has specific bodily benefits, such as improved functioning of the cardiovascular and nervous systems. These physical benefits are known to occur when people simply think about forgiving an offender. A study at the University of Wisconsin found the more forgiving people

were, the less they suffered from a range of illnesses. The people who forgave less reported a greater number of health problems.

And finally, the Spiritual benefit of forgiveness occurs the moment you forgive everyone and everything in your life. When you forgive in this broad way, you awaken in the present, to the here and now, because you are freed from all bondage to your past. The prison doors are flung open. Then you can literally see, sing and dance the praises of everything that has ever happened to you. This is a pro-foundly blissful state.

SEPARATE BEING FROM BEHAVIOR:But remember this, there is value in keeping an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out. In order to forgive you must separate being from behavior, that is, what someone is, is not the same as what someone does. The person who harmed you is a human being, not a human doing. A person’s being, when deeply contemplated, is absolutely good and cannot be other-wise. A person’s behavior, however, may be wrong, bad and even evil. So, your work is to forgive and remember. You let go of the demand that the past be different than it was, remember that the other person is capable of such behavior, and act accordingly. In this way, you remain fully awake and your actions come from inner peace.

BARRIERS TO FORGIVENESS:If you think about it, you’ll find that you hold a certain amount of hope in the middle of your unresolved hurt and anger. Your hope is usually this: “If I am hurt and angry long enough and obviously enough, surely the one who wounded me will wakeup, change in some way, and I will feel better.” Forgiveness occurs when you let go of all hope for change that has become the basis of the pain it intends to heal.

Ultimately, you want to give and receive love. Most people spend a good deal of time demanding that other people, particularly those who have hurt us, manifest the virtue of love before we do, or as we do, or in equal amounts. However, the deep peace of mind that you seek emerges only when you forgive everything and everyone, which is a personal decision to fully let go.

LETTING GO:The goal of forgiving is inner peace. Nothing more and nothing less. If your inner peace is attached to a change in your past or in another person, powerlessness and unnecessary suffering will inevitably emerge. On the other hand, if you let go of the demand that your past be differ-ent than it was, if you let go of the demand that the other be different than he/she was and is, then there will be a kind of a death. The death of a futile hope.

When we face this kind of death with an open heart, putting our faith in love, we find peace in realizing that death is simply letting go of that which has become unnecessary. We realize that we truly belong here, within love’s embrace. With this understanding, we can authentically bless and praise all that has been, all that is and all that will be. In this way, we become grateful and experience joy, the bliss of heaven. And our hearts can rest in the peace that passes all understanding.

A METHOD TO FORGIVE:My most powerful method for creating profound inner peace is what I call the Forgiving the Un-Forgivable Process.

“The quality, therapeutic concentration, and affordability of a nutritional product can, and often does, mean the difference between lethargy and energy, sickness and health, and, quite literally, life and death. I don’t want anyone to be tired, sick, or dead because they could not obtain or afford the best possible product. Loyalties can be divided. I want to make it clear where mine lies. My loyalty is to those who want to thrive, and those whose life situation requires them to thrive. My loyalty is to the end user. My loyalty is to you. In my life now, and one day when I look back upon my life, that will have value to me incomparable to any amount of money, investors, or fame.”

Truly Holistic Cancer

Treatments: Beyond

Drugs and Nutrition

By Dr. Matt Kreinheder

We live in a peculiar age.The supremacy of biochemical medicine is peaking and heading for its inevitable decline and its results are, well, underwhelming. Yet it is the de facto standard treatment for people with cancer. You can look up the results of most chemotherapies and radiation treatments and verify these results but most people are aware that when you go on chemo your chances of full recovery are slim and your body is going to go through hell.

There is also a new and growing faction of people who are taking control of their cancer experience with nutrition and supplements. This is a very exciting development in the treatment of cancer. While traditional medical therapies try to destroy the “bad” part of you, nutritional treatments try to reboot the “good” part of you ,or your natural healing response. This is a step in the right direction that

is for sure. Most nutritional protocols work on a similar fundamental premise. Reduce what is bad, increase what is good. This is a great philosophy and a great question to ask is “why only focus on the food nutrition?”

Many people look at food in the exact same way that researchers and medical doctors look at drugs, from

Page 17: INTEGRATED HEALTHMAGAZINE - The Cure to Cancer Summitthecuretocancersummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/fall-magazine... · Integrated Health International. Jean is also Founder/Host

to survive. Your body knows the difference, too , and it responds. Creating sustainable processes, systems and tools for changing these parts of life are going to take a little bit more than just reading this article, and that’s what I focus on with my cancer coaching clients.

Here’s what’s exciting. If this is true and your internal experience of life is physical, emotional, mental and spiritual and your external life is social and cultural, and all you have been focusing on is nutrition or drugs, you have a whole new world of exploration into which you can pour more healing into your process!

It’s like not being able to find your favorite sweater in one drawer of your dresser and then all of a sudden realizing there are five more drawers! It opens up many more possibilities.

True healing is an integrated physical, emotional, mental and spiritual experience that happens internally while being supported socially and culturally. Start to find ways you can make breakthroughs in areas and stack the deck in your favor so your body can heal. The worst thing that can happen is that your life gets better.

Dr. Matt Kreinheder focuses on helping peo-ple with cancer create a consciousness so that their body can heal.

In Dr. Matt’s clinical practice as a Chiroprac-tor, Acupuncturist and Coach he has helped people make deep connections with who they are. By focusing on an approach integrating

the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual sides of healing Dr. Matt has helped people heal and transform in ways they never expected.

Dr. Matt has chosen to focus on helping people with cancer because he saw a real need for people to understand healing from a con-sciousness perspective. Many people focus on either just traditional medical or nutrition but haven’t yet explored their emotional, mental and spiritual toxicities.

Dr. Matt believes that cancer is a message that our life is off course. When we are fighting against the life we are meant to live it causes a multi-level stress response. We can alleviate these stresses and get back to health by understanding who we are meant to be and healing physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Dr. Matt Kreinheder Chiropractor, Acupuncturist, Coachwww.CancerConsciousnessProject.com

a biochemical perspective. This view is reductionist, mechanist and linear. I’m not suggesting this is a bad approach; there are biochemical processes happening in the body when a person has cancer and we want to make sure we have the raw materials to build a healthy body. The issue is this, when you have cancer, it’s not just your body that is sick, it’s your life. Your entire life has cancer. Your body is expressing a disease while your emotions, thoughts, beliefs and spiritual experience is typically just as ill as your body.

The internal life experience happens physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Then the external experience is social and cultural. So if these 6 areas of your life are all having an impact on your health, why are you just drinking green juice hoping that is enough to heal? For some it may be; for many it won’t be.

The emotional, mental and spiritual components of healing are critical in chronic and potentially terminal diseases and people need ways to feed themselves the proper nutrition in those areas of life, too. Emotional health means being able to fully experience feelings and emotions as they come up and letting them move through while learning what these emotions have to share so that you can appropriately change your life. Mental health means knowing how to use thoughts and beliefs constructively to move our lives in the direction that we choose. Spiritual health is being able to surrender into the knowing that you are supported, you are divine and healing can happen in an instant if we choose to be the person that our life is calling us to be.

Having skills and resources in these other areas of life are absolutely critical if you are choosing to heal your cancer. When you meet people who have gone into remission or healed their cancer fully, they often attest to these parts of the healing process. Yet, it seems too intangible and ungrounded to most people to believe, understand and certainly to integrate into their healing journey.

Here is a very concrete and easy way to understand it. The you that has cancer is different than the you that is thriving and healthy. In order to be thriving and healthy you must become this new healthy version of you. This is going to require the emotional, mental and spiritual changes as well as a supportive social and cultural environment in which to heal. If you’re a left brained, research based thinker you can look at the process of how this works physiologically (at www.cancerconsciousnessproject.com/science) but most of us can tell the difference between someone who is thriving vs. someone who is just trying

DOCTORS WARN: Genetically Engineered Foods

AvoidWhy are thousands of physicians advising patients to avoid eating GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) [1] and how did these high-risk foods get onto the market in the first place? The answers are disturbing, even shocking, but may help you get healthy and stay healthy.

Foods with added bacterial or viral genes were quietly slipped into your diet two decades ago. Using the excuse that GMOs weren’t that much different, the FDA didn’t require labels or even a single safety study from GMO makers like Monsanto. But a lawsuit forced the agency to release their files and the truth finally came out.

By Jeffrey Smith

Page 19: INTEGRATED HEALTHMAGAZINE - The Cure to Cancer Summitthecuretocancersummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/fall-magazine... · Integrated Health International. Jean is also Founder/Host

FDA scientists repeatedly warned that GMOs could create allergies, toxins, new diseases and nutritional problems, and that rigorous safety testing was needed. But the White House had instructed the FDA to promote biotechnology, and Michael Taylor, Monsanto’s former attorney, was put in charge of FDA policy. (Taylor later became Monsanto’s chief lobbyist, and has returned to FDA as US Food Czar.)

Can you trust Monsanto with your family’s health? That same company that told us that Agent Orange, DDT and PCBs were safe.Now Monsanto’s “Roundup Ready” (RR) crops are engineered to withstand their Roundup herbicide, which gets absorbed into the food and can’t be washed off. A 2014 study found Roundup the most toxic of all herbicides and insecticides they tested. According to MIT scientist Stephanie Seneff, Roundup may be “the most important factor in the development of multiple chronic diseases and conditions.” She co-authored a seminal paper linking it to a host of diseases and chronic conditions including obesity, heart disease, inflammatory bowel, IBS, autism, allergies, MS, Parkinson’s, depression, infertility, Alzheimer’s and cancer.

Some GMOs, e.g. corn, have built-in pesticides that break open holes in the stomach of insects. A 2012 laboratory study confirmed that the toxin, called Bt-toxin, opens holes in human cells. And a Canadian study found both Bt-toxin and Roundup in the blood of most pregnant women and their fetuses.

CANCER AND GMOS

The link between consumption of genetically engineered foods and cancer came into sharp focus recently with the publication of a long-term feeding study by a team of French scientists. They fed Monsanto’s RR corn to rats for two years. Starting just after 90 days – which is normally the cutoff time for feeding studies by Monsanto and the other GMO producers – the first rat developed a tumor. By the end of the experiment, up to 80% of the female rats had tumors of the mammary glands, and up to 50% of the male rats also had tumors. These numbers were far greater than the control group, which had been fed the

equivalent non-genetically modified corn. The GMO-fed group also died at 2-3 times the rate, and had damaged livers, kidneys, and pituitary glands.

In addition to feeding rats RR corn that had been sprayed with Roundup, they also fed a group of rats the RR corn that had not been sprayed. And other groups of rats were fed various levels of Roundup alone without the RR corn. They wanted to see whether any changes were due to the GMO corn or the Roundup. Ironically, all three experimental groups developed multiple massive tumors, early death, and organ damage. This means that both the GMO and the herbicide are implicated.

Other studies have linked Roundup with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and the growth of breast cancer cells. Roundup is also linked to permeable gut, whereby the walls of the intestines develop gaps. This so-called “leaky gut” is also linked to cancer. Bt-toxin may also promote leaky gut since it can poke holes in intestinal cells. (The intestinal lining is only one cell thick.)

GENETIC ENGINEERING PROCESS MAY CAUSE DISEASES

While one or both of these two toxins, Roundup and Bt-toxin, are found in nearly all GMOs, even the process of creating a genetically engineered crop might promote cancer or other diseases. When producing a GMO, scientists insert a foreign gene into a plant cell using either a gene gun or via bacterial infection. They then clone that cell into a plant. The insertion and cloning process cause massive collateral damage in the normal functioning plant DNA. Genes can be switched on, shut off, deleted, of damaged.

New carcinogens, toxins, or allergens can be created in the plant, or levels of existing carcinogens, etc. might be accidentally elevated. In Monsanto’s most popular Bt corn, for example, a normally silent gene found in the corn genome was switched on and now produces an allergen not previously produced by corn. Similarly, their GMO soy inadvertently has levels of a known soy allergen that is as much as seven times higher than natural soy.

The link between consumption of genetically engineered foods and cancer came into sharp focus recently with the publication of a long-term feeding study by a team of French scientists.

This same type of side effect had a tragic outcome in human genetic engineering. While the inserted gene was supposed to cure a genetic defect, the process switched on a gene that caused leukemia in the patient.

Unfortunately, the GMO crop producers don’t pay much attention to potentially disastrous unintended consequences that result from the engineering process. One early study, however, commissioned by the UK government, did expose such consequences. Rats fed GMO potatoes developed potentially precancerous cell growth in their digestive tracts in just 10 days. They also had damaged immune systems, smaller brains, livers, and testicles, and partially atrophied livers. The study’s design implicated the process of GMOs, not the particular gene that was inserted into the potatoes.

NON-GMO EATERS REPORT HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS

If you don’t trust GMOs, you’re not alone. According to a 2013 survey by Hartman Group, over 120 million Americans say they try to avoid them. That number has more than doubled since 2007. [2].

When people eliminate GMOs, they (and their physicians) often report more energy, weight loss, better digestion, reduced allergies and skin conditions, and relief from numerous chronic conditions. [3] Veterinarians, farmers and pet owners describe similar improvements with animals taken off GMOs. According to a research review by the American Academy of Environmental Medicine, many of these disorders also afflict lab animals fed GMOs. We believe it is not a coincidence that the rise of these types of health issues in the US population parallels the use of GMOs and Roundup. In addition to the health

dangers, independent studies also show that GMOs don’t increase yields, don’t solve world hunger, and massively increase herbicide use.

GMO advocates aggressively deny any evidence against them. According to Nature, a “large block of scientists [...] denigrate research by other legitimate scientists in a knee-jerk, partisan, emotional way.” Tactics include threats, gag orders and termination. The author of the potato study cited above, for example, was fired from his institute and gagged with threats of a lawsuit. It took an order from the UK Parliament to ungag him, which

eventually led to the publication of the results.

And the French team that conducted the two year rat study on RR corn came under intense attack; pressure on the journal forced them to retract it after 15 months, but it was soon republished a few months later by a more “independent” journal. (That study has successfully passed three separate peer reviews, and is far more comprehensive than any research by the GMO companies.)

The industry’s research, on the other hand, is widely criticized as “tobacco science,” carefully designed to cover up problems. And just as a Monsanto man guided FDA policy, GMO review committees worldwide are often stacked with industry representatives who rubber stamp approvals or declare GMOs safe by ignoring data to the contrary.

Now FDA is considering approval of GMO salmon, as well as allowing GMO mosquitoes loose in the Florida Keys. In fact, countless GMO plants, animals, fish, insects and bacteria are being developed in labs around the world. Each could irreversibly contaminate the gene pool. There are also new varieties of corn and soybeans being

If you don’t trust GMOs, you ’re not alone. According to a 2013 survey by Hartman Group, over 120 million Americans say they try to avoid them. That number has more than doubled since 2007.

Jeffrey M. Smith, International best-selling author and filmmaker; Executive Director, Institute of Responsible Technology and leading spokesperson on the health dangers of GMOs.

The leading consumer advocate promoting healthier non-GMO choices, Jeffrey Smith’s

meticulous research documents how biotech companies continue to mislead legislators and safety officials to put the health of society at risk and the environment in peril. His work expertly summarizes why the safety assessments conducted by the FDA and regulators worldwide teeter on a foundation of outdated science and false assumptions, and why genetically engineered foods must urgently become our nation’s top food safety priority.

Mr. Smith’s feature-length documentary Genetic Roulette, The Gamble of Our Lives was awarded the 2012 Movie of the Year (Solari Report) and the Transformational Film of the Year (AwareGuide). Described as a “life-changer” and seen by millions world-wide, the film links genetically engineered food to toxic and allergic reactions, infertility, digestive disorders, and numerous problems that have been on the rise in the US population since genetically modified organisms (GMOs) were introduced.

His books include: Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies about the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You’re Eating, which is the world’s bestseller on GMOs; and Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods, which is the authoritative work on GMO health dangers.

An admired keynote speaker , Mr. Smith has lectured in 37 countries, counseled leaders from every continent, and has been quoted by hundreds of media outlets including: The New York Times, Washington Post, BBC World Service, The Independent, Daily Telegraph, New Scientist, The Times (London), Associated Press, Reuters News Service, LA Times, and Time Magazine. Also a popular guest, he appears on influential radio shows and television programs, such as the BBC, NPR, Fox News, Democracy Now, and the Dr. Oz Show.

7Breast Cancer TRIGGERS and How to Avoid ThemBy Dr. Veronique Desaulniers

Statistically, 1:3 women and 1:2 men will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime. Those statistics are compelling reasons to be very proactive with your health and to understand the triggers that can lead to Breast Cancer, or any type of cancer.

CANCER CANNOT GROW IN A HEALTHY BODY. Plain and simple. Your mission, therefore, is to make conscious choices that can help you prevent cancer.

Page 23: INTEGRATED HEALTHMAGAZINE - The Cure to Cancer Summitthecuretocancersummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/fall-magazine... · Integrated Health International. Jean is also Founder/Host

1.) INFLAMMATIONInflammation occurs when your Immune System becomes over active and creates an environment of high oxidation. Think of oxidation as rust or when an apple slice turns brown after a few hours. A similar process occurs on a cellular level. Inflammation is present at all 3 stages of tumor development: initiation, progression and metastasis.You can reduce inflammation by increas-ing your green veggies with juicing and blending and adding fish oils to your diet. Remove all processed and artificial foods from your diet. Regular physical activity and refreshing sleep also reduce the inflammatory markers.

2.) EXCESS INSULINSugar feeds cancer. After years of sugar consumption from refined carbohydrates and simple sugars, an acidic environment is created, which cancer cells also love. Insulin and IGF (Insulin Growth Factor) are powerful messengers that promote cellular growth. Sugar also depresses your Immune System.

Eliminate sugar in all forms from your diet. Granny Smith apples, lemons and limes, and occasional berries are beneficial. Limit your grain consumption and replace them with quinoa and millet, which are classified as seeds.

3.) METHYLATIONThis is a biological cycle that manages a variety of bodily functions. Problems with methylation occur if there is specific gene mutation that prevents the production of a specific enzyme. This can cause issues with detox-ification, immune function, DNA repair, and energy production. If you have high Homocysteine blood levels or if you would like to know if you have a methylation problem, I suggest you get tested to see if you have the gene mutation. If you do, there are nutritional supplements that will help reduce the effect of the mutation.

4.) HORMONE IMBALANCEHormones are messengers that speak to each other and to all systems of the body. If there is too little estriol and too much estradiol, the more aggressive estradiol can cause cellular damage and increase your risk of Breast

Cancer. If you are not metabolizing your estrogen properly, this can also increase your risk.Determine Estrogen Quotient and the levels of your other hormones with a simple home testing saliva kit.

5.) IMMUNE DYSFUNCTIONThe average person has over 200 foreign chemicals circulating in their body. These chemicals stress and exhaust the Immune System, distracting it from more important functions. As DNA mutations occur because of these chemicals, it is important that your Immune System be on the alert to capture any circulating cancer stem cells.

Keep your Immune System functioning at its peak by adopting a healthy lifestyle and being proactive with The 7 Essentials. There are specific supplements and foods that can help boost your Immune System as well.

6.) INSUFFICIENT SLEEPStress and lack of sleep can turn off cancer-protective genes. Insufficient sleep prevents the body from healing and repairing. It slows down the detoxification pathways which puts your body at greater risk. If you are not getting restful, relaxing and refreshing 7-8 hours of sleep, consider having your brain hormones tested to see what neurotransmitters may be out of balance.

7.) EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL STRESSPsycho-Neuro-Immunology (PNI) has taught us that the Nerve System, the Immune System and our mental health are all closely related. Think dark thoughts and your white blood cell count is reduced. Think happy thoughts of joy and gratitude and even your DNA responds in a positive way. Thoughts are energy and energy is transmitted by chemical and electrical pathways.

When it comes to healing cancer, we can keep it simple by recognizing the immune system. When our immune system is strong, it is able to do its job and keep our body from sickness. There are factors to consider: what creates a strong immune system, and what weakens our immune system. When our immune system has been weakened, this is when sickness gets in, and then spreads as all types of disease, including cancer. Since having cancer is a dis-ease in the body, we can tackle it by looking at what creates ease in the body, and what creates dis-ease.

It is obvious that an excessive amount of toxins weakens our immune system and creates disease in our bodies. It is obvious that when we nourish the body with proper nutrition, and live a holistic lifestyle, that the immune system is strengthened, and is able to heal the body – and even totally reverse cancer. It has happened to many people, and it can happen to you, too – as long as you are willing to do what it takes to fully heal your body.

When I was diagnosed with a pre-cancerous tumor at 21 years old, when my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, when my clients hire me as their Health Coach because they have cancer, this is how we approach a personalized strategy to healing.

First let’s look at things that weaken the immune system by addressing the toxicity in your lifestyle, that you may not even be aware is entering your body every single day.

These toxins weaken the immune system and we want to replace them gradually with healthier choices that can assist your healing – instead of bring the humanbody down.

Whether you decide to get chemotherapy and radiation, or surgery, or totally go the natural route, these are things that we can all address to remove toxicities from our lifestyle

1. What kinds of products are in your home? What kind of hand soap are you using? What kind of toilet paper are you using? What shampoo are you using? It is very important to use organic, otherwise the chemical shampoo seeps right into our head and brain. What kind of soap and body wash are you using? Your skin is absorbing all of it. Are you using pesticides in the garden? What type of laundry detergent are you using to wash your clothes and bedding? I have a natural recipe for this in my new book , “The Earth Diet.”

2. Do you swim in chlorine? If you do, I recom-mend you detox the chlorine out of your system by taking a hot salt bath or bathing in bentonite clay. Do you polish your nails or furniture with toxic chemicals?

3. What do you put on your body? Do you wear perfume? Perfume is extremely toxic and goes straight into the blood system and weakens the immune system. You can try mixing essential oils like rose and vanilla to make your own perfume. Are you using toxic makeup like

lipstick? I have chosen to include makeup in my lifestyle, but I go for an organic chemical free vegan cosmetic line that is made using minerals from Australia called ADORN. What kind of lotions do you put on your skin? Keep in mind your skin is the largest organ and absorbs everything.

4. What are you consuming? What chemicals are in the water you are drinking? Do you have a shower filter? What salt are you using? Salt can provide us with trace minerals provided we get natural salt. I recommend Redmond Real Salt which comes from Utah – it is local to Americans. What oils do you cook with? Are you eating genetically modified foods? Are you eating toxic foods that are hard for your digestive system to process? Do you feel like you are poisoning your body when you eat? Do you get proper nutrition everyday? Do you take medications? Do you make your own food or eat out a lot? Do you have your own garden to source nutrient rich foods? Do you eat foods with no nutritional value?

5. Are you exposed to too much electromagnetic chaos? Are you on the internet so much that it’s causing an imbalance? Are you disconnected from nature? How is your peace? Are you more stressed out than you are at peace? Do you get adequate sunshine? Do you use a clothes dryer? Do you fly a lot? Are you on your cell phone more than 4 hours a day?

All of these toxicities create a build up of toxins in our body, which weakens our immune system and can make us sick with diseases like cancer. The next step is to detox from some of these, and replace them one by one with natural, healthier alternatives.

For my top 12 tips to strengthen your immune system and get adequate nourishment through nutrition – every single day – go to www.TheEarthDiet.orgCancerSummit where I have prepared special gifts for you to download and print for free.

natural foods. Every single day Liana publishes one new recipe on her website www.TheEarthDiet.org Liana has appeared on Fox News twice this year to teach people how to live a natural lifestyle by transitioning away from junk foods, detoxing and then focusing on using earth’s natural ingredients.

Liana’s experience started at age 5 where she grew up with indigenous people who taught her how to live from nature. She learned that indigenous people did not suffer with cancer as they lived natural lifestyles. As a teenager Liana left outback Australia for Brisbane City where she began to indulge in a junk food lifestyle and ate toxic foods every single day. Five years later she had the wake up call of her life when something popped in her throat. After a biopsy she was diagnosed with a pre-cancerous tumor in her lymphatic system and blood tests showed she was on the verge of leukemia. Liana knew she had to transform her health so she resorted back to nature, started juicing daily and eating whole raw organic foods. Liana’s healing strategy consisted of juicing, drinking bentonite clay, bathing in bentonite clay, colonics, castor oil packs, clay body wraps, reflexology, meditation, whole foods and more. Three months later the tumor was gone and Liana had created recipes to replace her favorite junk food cravings including raw chocolate, cheesecake made with cashews, burgers, burritos and more. Liana has since dedicated her life to sharing her story with others to give people hope that they can also heal, and to warn children of the dangers of eating too much toxic food. She teaches the importance of daily nourishment so that the immune system remains strong and is able to heal.

Overcoming Cancer: A Journey of Faith

Hearing the diagnosis of cancer for the first time was probably the most alone moment of my life. The surgeon said I needed surgery immediately, so we scheduled it for 5 am the next morning, which just happened to be my birthday. When I awoke hours later, six nurses were singing “Happy Birthday.”

By Judi Moreo

At the follow-up appointment the next week the surgeon explained I would need an additional surgery to remove a sentinel lymph node – then a round of radiation treatments and chemotherapy. I scheduled the surgery for the next month, but I started hearing a voice inside my head telling me not to do it. As the date grew near, I called the surgeon and asked how long I could wait. She said a couple of months, so I postponed the surgery. She sent me to see an oncologist who explained to me that lymph node removal is usually done at the time of the cancer surgery. He seemed surprised it had not been done.

Seven and a half months later, my oncologist gave me a clean bill of health. That was four years ago. I have made many lifestyle changes and today, I am enjoying a healthy, vibrant, and exciting life.

At my follow up appointment with the surgeon, the ex-planations still didn’t add up. She was now telling me it would be eight or ten lymph nodes she would remove. She showed me a pump that looked like a clear hand grenade attached to a long tube which she wanted to insert under my arm and down my side, so I could pump toxins out of my body. I couldn’t think what to ask. I just knew I didn’t want to do this. So I said, “You are not going to make it as a motivational speaker. There is nothing you have said that would convince me to do that.”

Surely, there was another way to find out if there was any more cancer in my body, so I pestered the oncologist who said, “Yes, we can do blood tests and a CT scan.” This made me realize one of the most important things cancer patients should do is get a second opinion before allowing anyone to cut us open or treat us in any way.

I started doing research, visiting clinics, and spas. I read books and watched movies about cancer, treatment, nutrition, and natural healing. I prayed for guidance. I asked for a sign that I was doing the right thing. The voice inside of me kept saying, “No” to what everyone else was telling me to do. The more they insisted I have chemo and radiation, the louder the voice became.

A friend recommended a naturopath in Cedar City, Utah. The instant I walked into his clinic, I felt a sense of peace for the first time since this whole nightmare began. Dr. Holcomb greeted me with, “Let’s see if we can get you well.”

Before starting the three hour drive home, I used the restroom. While there, I saw a poster on the wall, “The Power that made the body, heals the body. There is no other way.” I had the answer for which I had been search-ing. I must admit, I was expecting my sign to come in the form of a white dove, a rainbow, or something equally transcendent. But my heart was saying, “Yes.”

I prayed for guidance. I asked for a sign that I was doing the right thing. The voice inside of me kept saying, “No” to what everyone else was telling me to do. The more they insisted I have chemo and radiation, the louder the voice became.

I never could have imagined that this is where I would end up, or that having cancer would be the catalyst that propelled me into my destiny, but God has a plan for everyone and mine included cancer.

In April of 2009, I found a small visible lump on my left breast and it was itchy and painful to the touch. Knowing full well that my mother had breast cancer when I was a kid, I was a bit scared. But, since I did not have health insurance, or enough money to pay for any treatment, I decided to just pray about it. Of course at this time, I was also a month away from completing my Masters degree, so I put my health on the backburner and concentrated on finishing my degree first.

At the beginning of May in 2009, I began to notice several moles around my collarbone had changed shape, changed color from brown to black, and started to crack and bleed. I had begun an all natural topical treatment for skin cancer at that point. The lymph nodes in both underarms had also swelled to abnormal levels by May. I had approximately five swollen lymph nodes under each armpit the size of kidney beans, with one being the size of two grapes put together. They were painful and I felt discomfort throughout the day and while trying to sleep. It felt like a deep, throbbing pain across my entire chest area with itchiness at the site of the breast lump. I also had large, hard lumps on my throat directly under my

chin going all the way down my throat. This was also accompanied by a severe sore throat that had lasted on and off for over a year. I attributed this to 23 years of smoking.

I was overly exhausted and sleeping about 15 hours a day, and even when I was awake, I felt as if I was in a brain fog and had never slept. Anyone who has had advanced cancer knows this extreme feeling of exhaustion. Still, I had to press forward and not think about the cancer until after graduation. Most people might have completely freaked out at this point, but I somehow maintained composure.

I figured that I was going to die, so I will never forget the moment that I sat in front of my computer crying for God to point me in the right direction to find an alternative treatment to heal my cancer. My theory was that if it was my time to die, then it wasn’t going to matter whether I was using alternatives or in a hospital with western medicine, so I chose alternatives. I searched the internet and I was immediately led to two different alternative methods, The Budwig Protocol and apricot kernels. I also had heard about Gerson Therapy and enzyme therapy.

DEFEAT CANCER

NOWBy: Tamara St. John, M.B.A.

I was like the majority of the population, brain-washed into thinking that western

medicine was the only way to treat cancer.

There were a few days where I became violently ill with extreme sweating, vomiting, and diarrhea. I realized later that these symptoms were signs that the cancer was detoxing from my body too fast, so I started spreading out the therapies throughout the day.

By September, a rash had formed around my neck in the shape of a ring, which I found out was the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) releasing from the cancer cell wall and the rash wouldn’t go away until all of the cancer was gone. The EGFR is indicative of HER1 type cancers, non-small cell lung cancer or advanced breast cancer. My rash lasted for approximately seven months and finally disappeared in April of 2010.

It is through these trials that I had stepped into my destiny of educating people about alternative treatments and how to achieve optimum health through God’s Pharmacy. My hope for anyone facing cancer is that you stay positive through your fight and turn your trust toward the Lord. I am hoping that this invaluable information will help at least one person to survive their fight with cancer and come out on top.

I covered myself with moisturizer, stepped into the stall, pulled the door shut behind me, grabbed the overhead straps and WHOOSH...sun lamps flooded all sides of my body. As their warmth gently enfolded me, a fan whirred overhead, keeping the temperature at a very happy level.

Suddenly the lamps shut off; my three minutes were up. Sadly, I stepped out of my sun stall, put my sweats on over my lubricated body and went home to take a real shower.

No, I am not insane; just better informed, healthier, and slightly more tan than I was yesterday.For the past seven years, I have relentlessly studied the known, probable and possible causes of invasive breast cancer. In 2007 I created a national non-profit organization that teaches women lots of safe, effective and inexpensive ways to help stop breast cancer before it can start.

I soon discovered research on how increasing vitamin D3, the sunshine vitamin, is a powerful way to strengthen your body’s ability to block the growth of any breast tumors, not to mention prevent or relieve asthma, allergies, skin conditions, colon and prostate cancer, depression and auto immune diseases. After completing a more extensive review of the Vitamin D3 literature, I understood that maintaining a tan throughout the year, while supplementing with Vitamin D3 capsules, can be the most effective way to raise and maintain optimal blood levels of this vitamin that actually helps your immune system gets stronger and stronger.

Over the past twenty years, dozens of research biologists and epidemiologists have understood that one major reason U.S. women living at northern latitudes have higher breast cancer rates than women living in southern states, is because nine months out of the year, the northern sun’s UVB rays are too weak to enable the body to make any vitamin D3. A few years ago, Cedric Garland, an epidemiologist at the Moores Cancer Center in San Diego, found that raising vitamin D3 blood serum levels to 60ng/ml-80ng/ml makes breast cells interlock or stick together, enabling healthy cells to knock out any precancerous or cancerous cells through a process called apoptosis. Using this knowledge, computer models

SAFE INDOOR & OUTDOOR TANNING HELPS PREVENT BREAST CANCER

three tenths of 1 percent of the women who used indoor/outdoor tanning and less than two-tenths of 1 percent of the women who did not tan developed melanoma in this time period.

Once U.S. doctors begin to understand the incredible immune support offered by higher vitamin D3 blood levels, they may stop recommending sunscreen 24-7 to all of their patients. As physicians begin to focus more on preventing disease naturally, instead of quoting corporately-supported pro-sunscreen articles, MDs will hopefully encourage their patients to become nourished by UVB rays, sensibly gained through limited outside and indoor tanning sessions.

SO LET THE SUNSHINE IN!

In 2005, after a few family members had developed breast cancer and while she watched a good friend die from the disease, Susan Wadia-Ells describes getting “mad enough” to employ her Polaroid University training, to try and improve women’s lives one more time. Busting Breast Cancer: Birth Control Drugs…Learn the Terrible Truth, the 2013 eBook, and her 2014 paperback book, Busting Breast Cancer: 7 Simple Steps to Protect our Daughters/Ourselves from this Unnecessary Disease, encompass Susan’s near decade of research as founding director of the National Breast Cancer Prevention Project. With her past social change, research and writing skills, combined with her analysis of why and how breast cancer has become a booming for-profit industry, Susan has created two startling themes and one call to action:• We know enough about what is causing most breast cancer in the United States• There are at least 7 simple, inexpensive, significant and healthy steps that women can take to block breast cancer before it can start.

indicate that breast cancer will become a rare disease in the U.S. once most American women reach and maintain that magical 60-80 ng/ml vitamin D3 blood level.

Dr. Joseph Mercola M.D., founder of mercola.com., the leading natural health website with 1.4 million subscribers, and Dr. Marc Sorenson, director of the Sunlight Institute, believe that maintaining a tan, using outdoor and indoor light sources, is the most efficient and effective way to raise and maintain sufficient D3 levels. According to a 2004 study by Michael Holick, the nationally known Vitamin D3 researcher at Boston University, people who used indoor tanning had vitamin D3 levels 90% higher than people who avoided sun lamps. Holick’s tanners also had significantly higher bone mineral density than their untanned or pale-face peers.

So ignore those TV ads by sunscreen manufacturers and those magazine articles (paid for by the same advertisers) about the need to use sunscreen all the time. Chemical sunscreens, a $640 million business in the U.S. alone, block UVB rays, the very rays we need to naturally make vitamin D3. Constant use of chemical sunscreens by children and adults alike, can also block their ability to develop a decent tan, the one natural sunburn protection enjoyed by our ancestors for centuries.

Holick recommends that light-skinned people who burn, but never tan, use an umbrella in the summer for best protection. Since their pale skin does not block any UVB rays, they actually produce vitamin D3 very efficiently! Reflective sun light and supplements are what these pale-faces need to reach significant D3 blood levels.

But for those who happily tan easily, especially people of African, Italian, Indian, Native American, Greek, Middle Eastern and Hispanic descent, we actually need much more outdoor and indoor unprotected tanning time because it takes our darker skin tones longer to absorb enough of those UVB rays to create healthy vitamin D3 levels.

What about melanoma? Recent studies show that people with the highest risk for this deadly skin cancer include folks who drink a lot of alcohol every day, don’t eat many leafy green vegetables, and/or have low vitamin D3 levels. The largest study on this subject followed more than 100,000 Scandinavian women over eight years. Less than

A diagnosis of stage IV cancer with metastasis often comes with an expiration date for many people, I was stamped for June of 2013. At first it took a while to decide what I should do. Not in terms of traditional medical treatments because I began aggressive chemotherapy within 9 days of first meeting my oncologist, but I needed to decide if I would assist in the healing process or totally leave the outcome up to my doctor and my God.

One month later, I decided to join the effort. I intention-ally tried to avoid words like “war” and “battle” because I felt my contribution to this would be more passive. Five different chemotherapy drugs were doing the dirty work; I needed to maintain balance in my body as best I could. I would act more like a MASH unit, keeping as many parts of my body healthy while others were being bombed with chemotherapy or ravaged by cancer. As healthy cells were being damaged or destroyed, I would be replenishing my body with newer, stronger ones each day.

After many valleys, I was in remission right around the time I was due to expire. Although I was pronounced “cancer free”, I was told to continue on chemotherapy and be prepared to stay on some form of it for the rest of my life. With hesitation, and much sadness, I agreed but cancer still came back. Nine months after the relief, I was informed that I would need to begin that aggressive treatment again, only this time some of the chemotherapy drugs needed to be changed so that the permanent neuropathy I sustained in my fingers and feet would not become debilitating. This would also be my last line of defense before trial medications would need to be considered.

There is an F. Scott Fitzgerald quote that sticks with me constantly because I feel when diagnosed with cancer, our lives need to begin again. “Vitality shows not only in the ability to persist but the ability to start over.” I believe what Mr. Fitzgerald meant by vitality is the capacity to live. I remember reading in a daily meditation book an example of your car stalling on a railroad track as a train approaches. There will come a time that if you don’t decide to abandon the car you will die.

So after 3 rounds of this latest wave of increased chemo-therapy and 15 months of uninterrupted treatment, I decided to get out of the car, halt chemotherapy, and start over with a more natural approach. I’ve been informed

that my story has been incredible, but everyone’s dealing with cancer is incred-ible in its own way. However, I can’t help but feel that my story has just begun.

A 46 year old, single father of two, Douglas Kirk was diagnosed in Jan 2013 with stage IV esophageal cancer that metastasized to his lungs, liver, and lymphs and he was given a prognosis of 5 months. But as the Stephen Sondheim song goes, “I’m Still Here”. In the past 18 months, cancer has left my body only to return again just several months ago. Much like a joyous empty nester getting the call they’ve been fearing that their only son has lost his job and could use a place to stay, I knew this could happen. I am choosing a different approach to healing, a natural approach, in order to achieve a different result.

I have conquered multiple personal cancers. I am here and I am healthy. I have been on this challenging health journey a few times, forging my own path to maximize my immune system. It IS possible to address cancer without seriously damaging an already challenged immune system. Cancer is not who we are. It is a transitory episode in our lives, a health challenge. It comes, it can go and it may come again. Two very important questions are: “How do we maximize our immune system’s abilities so we can live quality healthy lives, no matter how many times cancer appears?”

“How do we remove the interferences from our bodies, so our cells can communicate and our bodies can continually gently detoxify and regenerate?” That is the puzzle to solve: to be healthier living with - and beyond - cancer. “Holistic Healthier Approaches to Cancer” is the focus of my consulting practice. With referrals around the world from doctors, I focus on the basics first...the cause, not the symptom. If you band aid the symptom, it will exhibit elsewhere. We must address cause.

Even though they may have value, no drug, no doctor and no surgery is smarter than your own body in knowing how to be healthy, when given the support it needs. Detoxification and addressing the root cause pathways of cancer is critical. The objective is to maximize your body’s ability to activate its healing mechanisms.Those mechanisms are on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. They are straightforward for you to employ on your behalf. You just need to know what they are.

FIRST, REMEMBER TO DETOXIFY DAILY AND GENTLY. Research informs us that 80% of cancers are attributed to environmental toxins. These toxins impede the body’s abilities to be healthier by interfering in the cellular communications and detoxification pathways. Be careful, do not overdo this puzzle piece. Too much detoxification, too quickly, stresses the liver’s ability to cleanse the body. We want to support the liver and don’t want toxins reabsorbed rather than eliminated. I detoxify while I sleep, every night.

SECOND, I OFTEN RECOMMEND SPECIFIC GENOMIC TESTING. Genetic predispositions do not have to express, or manifest. With cancer, and health in general, knowledge of our personal genetic blueprint allows us to support our immune systems by mitigating our genetic deficiencies. THIRD, A CORNERSTONE PUZZLE PIECE IS TO TRULY EMBRACE...to feel on every level, that Cancer is NOT! a death sentence. CANCER IS A WAKE-UP CALL TO LIVE YOUR LIFE IN HEALTHIER WAYS! When you have the tools, the puzzle pieces, you can construct your healthier life. FOURTH, B R E A T H E...DEEPLY AND SLOWLY.Breathe in slowly to a count of 6 or 8.....hold it equally.....and breathe out slowly. Stress is so harmful to the immune system, and breathing is the natural antidote. Make it a habit. Every time you answer the phone, every time you go to the bathroom, every time you stop at a stoplight.....B R E A T H E.

Gift yourself this priceless relaxation and oxygenation tool. It costs nothing but mindfulness. Drop your shoulders, take another breath. Feel how good that feels. Mother Nature is working on your behalf and you only have to breathe. FIFTH, TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. Determine what your objectives are and where your compromises lie. You must be congruent with the choices you make and the path you follow. The mind and body must work together or else every step you take will be undermined by your own inconsistency. SIXTH, BE A CRITICAL THINKER. If you have estrogen positive breast cancer, how can you achieve a healthier estrogen ratio, without taking drugs that have serious side effects? I did it in healthy ways, without drugs. I also had a basil cell skin cancer. After my three day protocol, and no surgery, it disappeared, as verified by department head MD at UCSF dermatology surgery. One of my prostate cancer clients saw his markers fall to half in less than six weeks. It is important to believe in the ability of the body

to heal, when the interferences are removed and given the support. It is my passion to help guide people through the process of achieving a healthier life, through all kinds of challenges. I’ve provided some of the cornerstones to support you in this remarkable healing and immune system journey. It is important to realize that every step is a step forward. Perfection does not exist. There will always be more to know. You’re here; you’re reading now; you’re learning. Take one step at a time and trust that, by acting on this information, you are improving your immune system. Now activate your immune system: Close your eyes and hug yourself. Take a deep slow breath. Hum as you exhale (because the internal vibration of sound is physically beneficial). Envision the health you want as if it exists right now. Be grateful for that health and feel the relaxation as the stress leaves your body.Smile.

HARDCHOICES

By Jemma Brown

After reading all of the articles written for this magazine, I am both humbled and inspired. There are truly dedicated doctors, researchers and optimistic survivors! Personally, I have had stage 4 colon cancer twice now, the last one being in 2007. Initially I was given between 3-6 months to live, not only by two doctors, but also by a family member in the field (who said maybe a year). I was one of the atypical candidates, having eaten organic healthy food since high school. I rarely drank, never smoked, and exercised lots. I had no clue I was ill until I was about to explode (literally) and didn’t even have a doctor back then.

What I learned from the whole crazy ordeal was I had to trust my own self, make my own decisions, even in the face of the huge fear and reality of my possible early death. Family and friends all pushed me to “just do what your doctor tells you” and every cell in my being screamed NO to the chemo. I wasn’t sure which was more frightening, the chemo or the cancer. I had (more than one) major surgery, and several rounds of chemo (all with horrible side effects) and then came to my own conclusion that I had to stop immediately.

During one of the sessions, I felt all my organs constrict and I fell over on the floor and blacked out (I was given an entire bag of liquid Iron after the treatment). Two friends were with me, and the nurse told them I had died. Forty minutes later they were able to revive me! My doctor tried to persuade me differently but I really had had enough. I was already doing acupuncture, taking herbs, and seeing a wonderful energy healer (go ahead, roll your eyes!) I had more faith in all that than the conventional ideas.

The other major thing I had to do was Make Peace with situation, my life, my end of life and be grateful for what I did up to that point. I never felt angry, singled out by God. My meditation practice I’ve had since age 19 worked in the most dire of situations, and I was able to feel joy and contentment much of the time I was doing all the things daily that were on my plate.

Everyone will have to make their own hard decisions. It’s scary as hell - you want to be healed and there’s no magic bullet. It’s a combination of things and only you know what that is for you. Doctors base their prescriptions on statistics. You are not a statistic; you are unique. You may need chemo; you may need surgery. You may just need to love yourself unconditionally. You may need to clean up your diet. Please explore all your options and be open minded to miracles happening. Let the fear go. Do what gives you joy. For me, I went out dancing with a belly full of staples and a bottle of Tylenol (2 months of no exercise? hahah). It’s a crazy tough journey and no one knows the outcome. The speakers at both The Cure to Cancer Summit and The Integrated Health Conference, and authors of many of these articles are doing great work. I will definitely seek one or more out should I be dealt another hand of cancer.
