Baking soda not chemo.

November 24, 2008 / Mike Furci

“The majority of the cancer patients in this country die because of chemotherapy, which does not cure breast, colon or lung cancer. This has been documented for over a decade and never-the-less doctors still utilize chemotherapy to fight these tumors.” (Allen Levine, MD, The Healing of Cancer, Marcus Books, 1990)

Many people would be surprised to learn that treating cancer with chemo only has a 5- year survival success rate of just two percent for all cancers. If not Chemo, then what should one use to fight cancer? Author Dr. Mark Sircus, “Winning the War on Cancer”, Believes sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is a natural form of chemo that effectively kills cancer cells without the side effects. Dr Simoncini’s experience has shown that 99% of breast and bladder cancer can heal in just six days, entirely without surgery, chemo or radiation. He’s done this using a local infiltration device, like a catheter, to deliver the sodium bicarbonate directly to the infected site.

Many chemo treatments include sodium bicarbonate to help patients? kidneys, heart and nervous system. It’s been said that administering chemo without bicarbonate could possibly kill a patient on the spot. Could it be that any benefits seen administering chemo with baking soda, are the result of baking soda not the chemo?

Good Calories, Bad Calories By Gary Taubes

September 25, 2008 / Mike Furci

For decades we have been taught that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates are good, and that the key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more. Yet with more and more people acting on this advice, we have seen unprecedented epidemics of obesity and diabetes. With seven years of research, Taubes argues persuasively that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates (white flour, sugar, easily digested starches) ?via their dramatic effect on insulin, the hormone that regulates fat accumulation?and that the key to good health is the kind of calories we take in, not the numbers. There are good calories, and bad ones. Taubes traces how the common assumption that carbohydrates are fattening was abandoned in the 1960’s when fat and cholesterol were blamed for heart disease and then?wrongly?were seen as the causes of a host of other maladies, including cancer. He shows us how these unproven hypotheses were emphatically embraced by authorities in nutrition, public health, and clinical medicine, in spite of how well-conceived clinical trials have consistently refuted them. He also documents the dietary trials of carbohydrate-restriction, which consistently show that the fewer carbohydrates we consume, the leaner we will be.

Good Calories Bad Calories is the end of the debate about the foods we consume and their effects on us.

Vitamin D just gets better.

November 22, 2007 / Mike Furci

Vitamin D3, which is technically a prehormone, has a whole host of benefits. This invaluable substance has a role in preventing or treating the following:

Cancer: It is now accepted that Vitamin D3 reduces the risk of seventeen types of cancer.

Multiple Sclerosis: It has been well demonstrated that the risk of MS increases rapidly the further away people live from the equator. The American Academy of Neurology has identified a lack of vitamin D as a predictable indicator in incidence of the deadly disease.
Diabetes
Heart Disease
Hyperparathyroidism
Hypertension
Mental illness
Osteoarthritis
Osteopourosis
Muscle weakness
Periodontal disease
Ulcerative colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease

The study authors established a strong link between vitamin D3 levels and telomere (protects the ends of chromosomes) length. They found that after taking into account the age of the subjects, women with higher vitamin D3 levels were more likely to have longer telomeres.
This meant that the telomeres in the subjects with high vitamin D3 levels were five years younger than the telomeres in the subjects with low vitamin D3 levels.
The researchers believe that the results demonstrate for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin D3 may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitamin D3. (Vitamin Research Breaking News Nov. 20, 2007)

As with most nutrients in our food supply vitamin D has also almost completely vanished due to over-processing and bad farming. Supplements are your best bet, but make sure you’re using D3 (cholecalciferol).

More sun, less cancer.

February 8, 2007 / Mike Furci

We heard it for years, “sunlight causes cancer”.? Well, in an article by William Douglas, MD. In the Fall 2006 edition of Wise Traditions, you learn that this may not be necessarily true.? In fact, two studies in the Journal of National Cancer Institute show that increased sun exposure not only reduces the incidence of one cancer, it increases the survival rate of another.

What is it about sunlight that’s so beneficial? Vitamin D production.

Among whites in the U.S. there is a striking difference in the number of cases of many types of cancer-breast, prostate and colon, for example-between the northern latitudes and the southern latitudes.? The higher the latitude in which you live, the more likely you are to die of cancer.? In other words, New York bad, Birmingham good.? And what’s the major difference between New York and Birmingham?? New York gets a whole lot less sunshine.
What excessive sun exposure does do is cause injury to the inner layer of the skin, the dermis, which in turn, leads to wrinkling of the outer layer, the epidermis.? If you’re thinking that that happens with age (regardless of the sun), you’re right.? But sun exposure can speed up the process, causing the skin to age prematurely and to become loose and leathery.? This is called solar elastosis.
When researchers at the University of New Mexico investigated melanoma, they found a marked decrease in the disease in patients with solar elastosis.? (This information is from one of the two studies talked about in the article.)

I guess this starts to explain why melanomas are usually found on the body, “where the sun doesn’t shine”.????

Deadly Melanoma is Curable. Early Detection is Key

December 3, 2006 / Mike Furci

Most skin diseases are easy to treat if caught early, according to Josh Berlin, a dermatologist in Boynton Beach Florida.? However, they cannot all be seen.

Melanomas form from melanocytes, which are cells that produce pigment.? Not all melanocytes are on the surface.? Melanomas, fatal skin cancers, can attach themselves to areas such as the eyes, mouth, scalp, esophagus, underneath nails, and even in ones anus or urinary tract.

To help protect you from deadly melanomas, use the following tips:

Prevention: Sun screen, sun glasses, hats and regular visits to the dermatologist.

Self Inspection: Keep a close eye on your own moles and freckles.? Look for anything that’s new, grows rapidly, develops jagged edges, is asymmetrical and has different shades of color.

Be Aware: Cancers can form in unlikely places. (Between toes, between fingers, scalp)

Live healthy. Eat right, exercise, avoid processed foods, consume anti oxidants.
