Alternative Medicine

Well regardless of the causes, which are many, the good news is that there are natural cures that most Allopathic Western Doctors will not tell you about, and are actually forbidden by law to tell you of! -If you do some research on the Internet it will not take long to come up with proof of this statement.

The bottom line of all research, when done with an honest attempt to learn without prejudice, the fact emerges that nearly all cancers are caused solely because the body has been deprived of some natural food elements, herbs, vitamins, minerals and needed enzymes, or because of body abuse such as from cigarettes, alcohol, insecticides, industrial chemicals like Carbon Tetrachloride or the Agent Orange used by the military, or by use of drugs or metals used in manufacturing, or exposure to mercury.

Our body cells are delicate and easily damaged by any of these elements. Some thing we can avoid, others we cannot, and do not even know about until too late, such as leaded gasoline…and the well known advertisement, “I’d walk a mile for a Camel.” or, “Our Filtered Cigarettes are Best for Your Health!” One boasted “Not a cough in a pack!”

Another assault upon you body cells is radiation. After chemotherapy this is one of the most horrible assaults doctors can make on living tissue, because it destroys not only the individual cells of one generation, but it may cripple, if not extinguish the immortal germ plasma, on which the continuity of our offspring for the survival of the species itself. -In short it can maim or kill the unborn children of a cancer patient!

From a mountaintop land where cancer and heart disease are unknown, comes some down-to-earth ideas about eating for health.

I am indebted for some of the following to the writings of Jane Kinderlehrer who wrote “Death Rides a Slow Bus in Hunza;” She asks,

“How would you like to live in a land where the word “cancer” has no meaning, for it has never been heard of? -A land where an optometrist discovered to his amazement that everyone has perfect 20-20 vision? -A land where cardiologists cannot find a single trace of coronary heart disease? How would you like to live in a land where nobody ever gets ulcers, appendicitis, or gout? –A land where men of 80 and 90 years old father children, and there’s nothing unusual about men and women enjoying active vigorous lives at the ages of 100 to 120? A land where they are still working in their farms and apricot orchards at ages over 100? Such a land does exist!

“This is a land where there is mental and spiritual peace that comes from living where there is no crime, taxes, social striving or “Generation gaps”,

-A land where there are no drug stores, and diseases are rare. A land called Hunza, a tiny Country about the size of New Jersey State where you can breath the benefits of the pure mountain air and drink the icy mineral water that comes off the melting glaciers high up in the Himalayan mountains of Northwest Pakistan ”

These Hunza people eat the vegetables they raise in their own gardens, and east the seeds of the hardy apricot trees grown in their orchards The food they eat is delicious, and is the same kind of organically grown vegetables you can find in your own better quality grocery stores and shopping centers,

If you take time to look for it.

The big difference is that you will need to somehow supplement your diet to include B-17, and the other minerals and enzymes that are taken out of our food by the food processors, and not drink tap water that is not filtered and contains chlorine.

Not only is the Hunza diet not exotic, but there’s really nothing mysterious about it’s health –promoting qualities. Everything we know about food and health, gathered both from clinical studies and the observation of scientists who have traveled through the world observing dietary practices and the relationship to health, tells us that it is to be expected that the Hunza Diet will go a long way toward improving the health of anyone, anywhere.

Maybe you are wondering if the Hunzas really are all that healthy? That was the question in the mind os Cardiologists Dr. Paul D.White and Dr. Edward G. Toomey, who made the difficult trip up the mountain paths to Hunza, toting along with them some portable battery-powered equipment and an electrocardiograph. In the American Heart Journal for December 1964, the doctors said they used the equipment to study 25 Hunza men, who were, they said, “on fairly good evidence, between 90 ,and 110 years old.”

Blood pressure and cholesterol levels were also tested. They reported that not one of the 25 men showed a single sign of coronary heart disease ot high cholesterol.

An optometrist, Dr, Allen E. Banik, also made the journey to Hunza to see for himself if the people were as healthy as they were reputed to be, and published his re;port In Hunza Land (Whitehorn Publishing Company 1960) He said, “It wasn’t long before I discovered that everything I had read about perpetual life and health in this tiny country is true. I examined the eyes of Hunzas oldest citizens and found them to be perfect.” He added that every one he checked had 20-20 vision, and Dr. Banik declared not even one needed glasses.

The Hunza story is only one of several dramatic examples of the miraculous health benefits produced by a diet of fresh natural unprocessed fruit and other unadulterated food. Please note their orchards; they eat a lot of the seeds of the apricots, ‘year around, so they are probably getting between 100 to 150 micrograms of B-17 a day…and never have had cancer in their history of over 800 years! –some say never in 2,000 years in that part of the world!

Beyond more freedom from diseases, many observers have been startled by the positive side of Hunza health. For example, Dr.Banik told that many Hunza people are so strong that in the winter they exercise by breaking holes the ice-covered streams and take a swim down under the ice! Other visitors who have been there report their amazement at seeing 80. 90. and 100 years old men repairing the always crumbling rocky roads, and lifting large stones and boulders to repair the retaining stone walls around their terraced gardens. The oldsters think nothing of playing a competitive game of volleyball in the hot summer sun against men who are 50 years younger, and in winter they even take part in wild games of polo that are so violent they would make an ice hockey fan shudder.

I hope the forgoing has given you some positive ideas on how to improve your health. Tomorrow I will summarize and add some more information from Dr. Ernst Krebs; and to please the USDA so that my name will not be on their hit list, I must state that all the forgoing is just my opinion and what I believe and have quoted is not medical advice, but for educational purposes only. It explains the philosophy of Alternative Cancer Treatment, but since I am not licensed as a medical doctor, I must advise you that the USDA and FTC says if you are ill or have cancer, what I say cannot be relied on and I must refer you to a licensed physician.

However I can say there are many doctors here in the Philippine, in Japan, China, India, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and other countries who agree with Alternative concepts. Also, you can read more on WWW,Godgift.org.
