Episode 3 topics: Cancer-Killing Viruses, Cancer Stem Cells, GMOs, Juicing, Eating The Rainbow
Quote - whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters. - A. Einstein
Dr Nalini Chilkov, biologist, author - cancer stem cells are floating in the bloodstream. Chemo and radiation have no effect on them.
Dr Russell Blaylock, neurosurgeon - chemo kills the daughter cells. The cancer comes back more aggressively, as the stem cells regrow the cancer. The healthy cells have been damaged by the chemo.
Sayer Ji - the cancer industry only looks at survival rates for 5 years. Cancer can take a while to grow back.
Dr Bita Badakhshan - what to do: detox, supplement, hydrate, oxygenate
Sayer Ji - turmeric is anti-cancer. It's been heavily researched. It's produced when plants are under stress. Organic plants produce a lot more than plants protected by pesticides. It selectively targets cancer stem cells.
Also good:
- resveratrol, green tea, quercitin (found in onions and other herbs), sulphurophanes (in cruciferous vegetables, especially broccoli sprouts)
- polyphenol category - catechins, green tea, resveratrol from red grapes, peanuts.
Dr Nalini Chilkov - botanical medicine is anti-cancerous in the cell. Plant compounds bind to cells and receptors.
The curcumin in turmeric interacts with over 100 genes. Can take it safely for long periods of time.
Resveratrol and turmeric act on cancer stem cells.
Berberine controls insulin.
Huang chi - Chinese herb. Has berberine in it. It's bitter. Stimulates detox. Controls insulin - that's a driver of tumor cells. It also has a number of bioflavinoids that turn apoptosis on, inflammation off, act on stem cells.
Plants are multi-taskers. We can do a lot with a handful of plants.
Dr Russell Blaylock - leukemia is treatable. Quercitin, ellagic acid and resveratrol inhibit cancer stem cells.
Curcumin kills cancer stem cells.
Treat lymphoma with turmeric, quercitin, resveratrol and ellagic acid.
Flavinoids are selective - only damage toxic cancer cells, make normal cells stronger.
Chart - immune system creates cytokines, chemokines, proteases which cause inflammation, which encourages cancer, which leads to angiogenesis, metastasis.
Need to stop the inflammation which induces cancer.
Affect cell signaling. turn on cell suicide genes, P21, P53.
Juice wheat grass.
Lourdes Colon, cancer conqueror, actress - did Vit B17 - laetrile. Drank 4-8 oz/day of wheat grass, which contains chlorophyll, iron, VitB17.
It's similar to blood, which has an iron molecule; wheat grass has an magnesium molecule. She put wheat grass pulp on the tumor.
Problem with medical meetings - they're sponsored by pharm companies, which means drugs only. Doctors aren't educated.
Colonics, coffee enemas to detox liver.
Did raw juicing for 3 weeks - grapefruit, lemon.
Juicing with wheat grass pulled a parasite out in her stool. Juice to remove tumors.
Cherie Calbon, the juice lady -
Bring live food into the body. Mostly vegetables, with a little fruit.
Juice leafy greens, carrots, cucumbers, celery, ginger for breakfast. Add a little lemon.
It's liquid phytonutrients, w/o fiber. It's antioxidants, carrying toxins out of the body.
If we get sick, it means we have toxicity, and we're undernourished - not getting enough phytonutrients.
She was sick in her late 20s, had to do something. Said she had chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. (I emailed her about fibro, she said thanks).
She did a 5-day juice fast. Her body expelled a tumor on day 5, the size of a golf ball, with blue blood vessels. She was detoxing. Had good days, bad days, body getting rid of toxins.
Finally, felt like a new body. She had been turning the corner the whole time, healing in the right direction.
There's hope - as long as you're breathing, don't give up.
Henry McElligott, cancer survivor - in Australia, with kangaroos hopping around in the background!
Had a tumor at the base of his tongue, which spread to the lymph nodes. He refused chemo and radiation, and would have had to have had a feeding tube.
He decided to go natural. He listened to the first cancer series Ty made.
Did a 3-week fast - water and vitamins. He lost 10-15 kilos, feeling good.
He ate vegetarian - vegs, fruits, nuts.
6 weeks later, his swelling decreased, able to swallow more easily.
His oncologist said, "This is a miracle, and I've been a doctor since 1979! You're the first person not to have done chemo, radiation or surgery."
The doctor said the test machine must be broken, come back next week. He did, and got the same good testing results, as good as if he had done chemo and radiation. He saw only cancer cell fragments floating around in the blood.
Bloodtest results came from Germany.
Mike Adams - eat real food, with good colors and tastes. That's an anti-cancer diet.
Good food: fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds. Some spices.
Red grapes, citrus fruit, berries, cucumbers, onions, peppers.
Do not eat processed food, with HFCS (high fructose corn syrup = GMO) in it, bland diet, soybean oil, sugar and salt, garbage ingredients, the food industry adds chemicals like MSG and others to make the food taste better. All that is a diet for cancer.
Ocean Robbins - avoid the bad stuff, eat the good stuff.
Ty - his grandmother Helen got a cancer dx in her late 80s. She drank Essiac tea and lived another 10 years.
Dr Steven Klayman, holistic DC - Rene Caisse (1888 -1978) was a nurse in Bracebridge, Ontario in the 1920s. A blend of herbs was given to her by a Native American medicine man (I think he was Ojibway).
Dr Klayman told his aunt to drink the tea for one month, and then the doctor couldn't find cancer of the spleen anymore. He called it a spontaneous remission and told the aunt the tea had nothing to do with the cancer.
When Dr Klayman heard that, he ordered his aunt to start drinking the tea again! She's still alive, and drinking the tea.
Dr Murray Susser, surgeon - a patient had a bowel obstruction, the tumor spread to the liver. Instead of doing chemo, the patient drank the Essiac tea. The tumor never came back. 1000s of stories like this.
Dr Jonathan Wright - 100,000+ references to natural medicine in the scientific literature. But it isn't patentable - no money in it.
The trend is expensive patents, more and more expensive, $1000/pill for hepatitis! Info at meetings and in journals sponsored by pharm.
Dr Rob Verkerk, exec dir, Alliance for Natural Health - a global effort to limit nutritional supplements.
Medieval code in Europe called the Codex Alimentarius passed in 1965 - anything with a pharmacological effect to be termed a medicine. Food can't be medicine.
Hippocrates said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
Dr Matthias Rath - in first half of 20th century, 9 Nobel prizes awarded for vitamin research.
In 1963, the German government, under pressure from Bayer (remember, the Nazi guys in the 1st Episode), created the Codex Alimentarius Commission to fight back against natural nutrition.
GMOs - take genes from one species and inject into the DNA of another species.
Purpose - to increase plant herbicide tolerance so can spray the weeds without killing the crops. They're modifying plants to be more resistant to bacteria. Created Round-Up Ready.
GMO crops, with GMOs in them - soy, corn, cotton, canola, sugar beets, alfalfa.
Pesticide production - take gene found in the soil, Bt - bacterium thuringensis, produce a pesticide with it, put it into corn and cotton. When a bug eats the plant, the toxin kills them by making holes in the stomach walls.
So we're eating two types of poisons - Round-Up Ready, and the pesticide gene.
There are 2 kg of bacteria in our gut. We don't know the impact of GMO food in us.
5 major GMO crops - corn, soy, canola, sugar beets, cotton (also used in cotton seed oil).
Restaurants use GMO foods.
Round-Up Ready's main ingredient is glyphosate. WHO says it is probably carcinogenic.
It's used in Agent Orange, which causes birth defects, metabolic disorders, neurological problems.
Before, crops would die. Now they live. And there's new resistant crops.
Jeffrey Smith - Round-Up Ready can promote cancer.
1) It kills off good gut bacteria. Overgrowth of bad bacteria is linked to certain cancers, like colorectal cancer.
2) It promotes bad bacteria overgrowth. Causes inflammation in gut. Zonulin opens up walls in intestines, causes leaky gut. Linked to cancer.
3) It damages the CYP enzymes, which are part of detox. Linked to cancer. Round-Up ready can disable some of the enzymes.
Jeffrey Jaxen, author, researcher - Round-Up Ready was patented in 1964. It pulls minerals out of the soil and the body, especially magnesium.
Soil treated with Round-Up Ready is magnesium-depleted. Low levels of magnesium is probably a carcinogen situation. Supplementing with magnesium shows tumor shrinkage.
Dr Ivars Kalvin, in Latvia:
Glyphosate irritates all our cells. It destroys membranes. It is linked to stomach, intestinal and colorectal cancer. The FDA didn't require a single study re GMO safety!
Michael Taylor has headed the FDA food safety program. He was a lobbyist with Monsanto who created Round-Up Ready. His history:
1976 - FDA atty.
1981 - atty for Monsanto.
1991 - FDA deputy commissioner.
1996-2000 - VP for Monsanto public relations.
2010 - FDA deputy commissioner for food safety
Jeffrey Smith - the claims in the policy that they weren't aware GMOs were bad was a lie.
A lawsuit forced 44,000 secret memos to be seen by the public. The scientists at the FDA were saying it wasn't safe, that it might cause allergies, nutritional problems, new diseases.
Then tobacco science followed - ie no science at all - bogus tests.
Dr Leigh Erin Conneally - are you absorbing the nutrition in food? Stress can compromise hydrochloric acid levels in the stomach needed to digest food.
Ocean Robbins - eat toxic food, feel bad. Did the Food Revolution Summit. You can make your changes. Create a demand for a new food economy.
Companies are feeling the difference. McDonalds, Coca Cola will become food dinosaurs unless they adapt. We're tired of being sick. Eat organic, local, real food.
Dr Joseph Mercola - typical American gets 95% of calories from processed food. Our bodies weren't designed to eat processed food. Stay away from processed foods. Avoid artificial ingredients.
Over 10,000 chemicals are labelled safe, with the
GRAS label - generally recognized as safe. If labelled as GRAS, the companies don't have to test the food for safety! Either served alone or together.
Labelled as GRAS: lactose, whey, food starch, buttermilk powder, titanium dioxide, disodium phosphate, potassium chloride, modified food
starch, dough conditioner, mozzarella, dried whey,
natural flavors, sodium caseinate, yellow 5, cream, amaretto, citric acid, cultures, cheese cultures, l-cysteine, hydrochlorite, calcium sulfate.
So read the small print. It's there.
And what's more, if food ingredients are labelled as GRAS, they don't even have to put them on the food label!! Then we don't know they're there!
Back to the mantra: Eat Real Food.
The Riga, Latvia clinic - is treating cancer with a virus called RigVir (Riga Virus) which is killing the cancer. It is officially approved for melanoma.
It's also working against other cancers, like renal, breast, stomach, lung, prostate. They don't do chemo because they know it kills the healthy cells in the body as well.
Krystyna Yakorenko - had 4th stage melanoma, metastasized to the liver. She trusted doctors. Did chemo/radiation, didn't work, she decided to fight. She's better now.
Dr Elita Shapovolova, researcher, oncologist at the Riga East Clinical University Hospital. For treating melanoma, said 90% survival rate in early stage. Later stage - 60% survival rate. If don't do viral treatment, 9% survival rate.
At first they used radiation, but it destroys the immune system, hard to fight back. Chemo can't cure melanoma. Quality of life for the person goes way down.
Dr Kaspars Logans - RigVar virus makes cancer cells visible, which can hide when invisible. Then the virus attaches to them, goes inside them. The immune system sees it and reacts against the cancer cells.
