Book Review: Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon
https://debbiepotts.net/nourishing-traditions-book-review/
The book called “Nourishing Traditions” by Sally Fallon not only a cookbook but a lesson on what the author terms as challenges “Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats”. Sally Fallon’s focus on this book is in line with what we discuss in the Nutritional Therapy program as well as the discoveries from Weston Price and Francis Pottenger.
In my opinion, the wealth of eye opening information and meal ideas in her book should be a required reading for everyone. I discovered personally over the past ten years that I can’t survive on a non-fat, processed food plan. Most people still haven’t figured out the negative impacts of consuming a processed, refined carbohydrate, high sugar, non-fat or low-fat diet.
The fear of eating fat does not benefit our health as we are told by the big companies and health care leaders. Sally explains in her book on her frustrations, similar to my own, the impact of the “politically correct nutrition” on our society as enforced by the trusted doctors, researchers and spokesmen for agencies that we depend on for guidance on our health and well-being. The American Cancer Society, American Medical Association, American Heart Association and more are agencies that are the “Diet Dictocrats according to Sally. I agree.
The information she shares is what drives me to do this program as well as my podcast and other education seminars along my journey. We have become scared or even demonized by the word cholesterol and saturated fats. The author Sally describes the history of the demonization of saturated fats as well as the benefits of consuming healthy fats as butter.
Sally discusses how carbohydrates have become refined and stripped of their nutrients. Our increase consumption of sugar and white flour has only created more problems in our health. Then what about protein consumption and the fear of animal products? Instead of eating foods in their natural form, we have altered them to be lower in fat and processed.
The book “Nourishing Traditions” teaches readers about eating real food in its natural state and how to prepare foods to nourishing and uncompromised. We should eat based on our ethnic heritage, our constitution, our age, occupation, and climate and by our food sensitives and allergies.
We are all different but Sally Fallon teaches us how we can eat to feel and be well-nourished without feeling deprived. Real food tastes better and makes us feel better! Nourishing Traditions is a must read for anyone interested on becoming improving their healthy from the inside out by eating good real food!
None of the healthy people studied by Dr. Price followed a vegan or even a vegetarian diet—all consumed animal foods, often going to great trouble and risk to obtain them. They especially valued certain nutrient-dense animal foods such as organ meats and animal fats to ensure healthy children.
As this chart shows, it is the animal foods, especially organ meats like liver, that provide the most nutrients. Plant foods like grains, beans, nuts, vegetables and fruit have their contributions to make to a healthy diet, but it is animal foods that provided the bulk of vitamins and minerals in the diets of healthy traditional people.

This article is about chlorine dioxide (CD), but before I discuss CD, I need to set the stage with some comments about the disease delusion. We are living in a false reality mostly crafted by false science. Consider this scenario. You are on a plane, and someone nearby is sneezing or coughing. A few days later, you get sick and you blame it on that person on the plane, because the authorities have told you that’s how it works. Their narrative is that someone breathes out little “flying unicorns,” and when you breathe them in, they make you sick. Even if there is no evidence for this narrative, it all sounds very “science-y”!
What really happened is this. First, you didn’t sleep well the night before you got on the plane, so your immune system took a little hit. Next, you got on a plane doused with disinfectants—biocidal agents. The biocidal agents didn’t kill you (because this is dose-related), but they got into your cells as a toxin. In addition, the toxin recirculated in the air during the flight. When you arrived at your destination, perhaps to see family or friends, you went out, ate and drank too much and stayed up too late, again depriving yourself of a good night’s sleep. To make matters worse, you went out and did it again the next night. In short, you got sick because you weakened your immune system and toxified yourself.
The false science authorities would have you playing “disease whack-a-mole” for the rest of your life, so that every time they come out with a new disease, they can give you a new vaccine or pharmaceutical poison. But, as my hypothetical example illustrates, disease really is about toxins, and a lot of the things we think of as “disease” are probably the result of poisoning. If too many toxins accumulate in the body and your detoxification system isn’t keeping up, you get sick. Think of it like a teeter-totter. The goal is to tilt the balance the other way, where the detoxification system is on “high burn,” and you don’t have as many toxins. And that’s where chlorine dioxide can play a role.
To understand how chlorine dioxide works, I need to provide some further background. We are electromagnetic beings, and over the past two centuries, the world has become more and more electromagnetically charged. When the first telegraph lines were laid down in the 1800s along the railroads, telegraph operators and people who worked on the railroads started getting sick. They would get nervous and jittery and develop a cough; they called it “telegrapher’s disease.”¹ (Notably, there were no annual outbreaks of so-called “influenza” before the laying down of the telegraph lines.) At some point, they figured out that they could ameliorate the symptoms of telegrapher’s disease by using two copper wires and running a long twist in the wires first, instead of using straight copper wire as they had done initially.
Now consider that in the same way that the Grand Coulee Dam makes electricity, our bodies make energy (ATP) in the mitochondria.² The Grand Coulee Dam has high water and low water (called a “gradient”), and the water flows over the dam; when it drops down and hits a turbine, that spins around and makes electrical power connected to a generator. In the human body, instead of water flowing across, the body uses hydrogen ions—charged particles that go from a high concentration to a low concentration, hit little “rotors” and make ATP. It is just like the Grand Coulee Dam, only in miniature. This process requires sugar, which comes along in the form of glucose, and at the end of the day, you get ATP.
What happens if you suddenly step into a big electromagnetic field (EMF)? The gradient—the difference between the hydrogen ions outside the mitochondria and inside—becomes less, and you have less power to turn those “rotors” and make energy in the body. That’s what caused telegrapher’s disease and also explains modern influenza patterns. In addition, EMF exposure disrupts metabolism, making it harder to metabolize sugar. Both Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison became diabetic at a time when diabetes was extremely rare; they may not have had electricity in their homes, but they were going into a lab where they were surrounded by a huge electrical field all day long. The body can respond to a rate of change that is very slow, but it can’t take that kind of sudden change. If you look at all of the “pandemics” in the modern world, from the 1918 “Spanish flu” to Covid, each one has occurred when we have upped the electromagnetic milieu.³
How the body gets rid of toxins is related to this issue of the electromagnetics around us and in the body. The University of Washington’s Dr. Gerald Pollack, a brilliant thinker who is willing to put everything into question, has taught us in his studies of fourth-phase water4 that the water in our cells is in a special form. I used to think it was in a gel with proteins mixed in, but it’s actually in a kind of crystalline form, and that crystal expands and contracts. Every cell in your body is like a tiny battery with a negative charge and a positive charge. Now think back to that disinfectant they sprayed on the plane; when it gets into your lungs and cells, how do you get rid of it? Your body detoxifies poisons by surrounding them with negative charges (electrons) and then electromagnetically pushes the toxins out of the cell. They go into your lymph glands, blood supply and liver, and you poop them out.
What this means is that you don’t want to let your batteries run down! How do we recharge that detoxification system? In medical school, we were taught, “You’re not a plant, you don’t get any energy from the sun,” but that is a lie. In fact, we charge our detoxification system with infrared light. This is why the “flu season” is in the winter. In the summer, people don’t get sick because they’re doing things outside and getting lots of light. That light “charges their battery” so they can get rid of toxins. In the winter, people start bundling up and don’t get as much sunlight. That’s okay for a little while, but by the time February rolls around, their batteries are significantly discharged. In addition, the winter holidays often cause people to stay up too late and overindulge, making themselves more toxic at precisely the time when they are less able to detoxify. Or, if you want another example of a perfect storm, just go to a nursing home, where residents eat bad food, are surrounded by toxic disinfectants, never get sunlight and, to make matters worse, get flu shots just before “flu season” hits.
Another way to understand what happens is electron theft. Although most of our body is made up of “good” bacteria and other organisms that do good things for us, occasionally something “bad” like Escherichia coli or Clostridium difficile takes over. Note that although we call them “good” and “bad,” it’s not because they are intrinsically evil. It’s like weeds—your dandelions are not evil. We call them a “weed” because they happen to grow in places where we don’t want them. The “bad” organisms— bacteria or parasites or mold—make us sick by stealing electrons from the body, which disables our enzymes and proteins from doing the right thing. The “good” organisms, on the other hand, don’t want to steal your electrons because they are happy with their own electrons.
All of the bioactive molecules in the body are three-dimensional, and they’re contained and made in the right shapes to be functional by electromagnetic bonds. If you don’t have a good-shaped estrogen, it won’t fit in the estrogen receptor; if you don’t have a good-shaped insulin, it won’t fit in the insulin receptor. When an organism steals electrons, it denatures the protein so that the protein can’t keep its shape; thus, whatever that protein is supposed to do doesn’t fit in the “lock” (that is, the receptor) any more.
Some critters steal electrons more than others. Parasites, for example, are “super electron stealers,” which is why they can be so damaging to the human body. By the way, it occurred to me that the other kind of “parasites” (the political and financial kind) steal our electrons, too. However, they don’t have to come and physically take our dollars out of our pocket—they can do it electronically.
Chlorine dioxide works by stealing the electrons back. In the process, it dissociates into parts; it liberates some electrons for you, and it also continues to damage the bad critters. If every molecule of chlorine dioxide steals five electrons from a protein in some bad bacterium, parasite, or mold, consider what happens next; as CD steals more and more electrons, the bad thing falls apart because it can’t make the proteins to stay alive. The beauty of this system is that you cannot develop “resistance” to it. It’s not like antibiotics—it can’t create “super bugs.” Moreover, CD doesn’t hurt your good bacteria. That is why this chemical is God’s gift to mankind.
At room temperature, chlorine dioxide is a gas. Highly soluble in water, it is made by mixing sodium chlorite solution with citric acid or hydrochloric acid. Technically, CD is called an “oxidizer.” Although there are other oxidizers—such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide and chlorine bleach—that can cause damage, chlorine dioxide stands out in the gentle way it oxidizes. Unlike the other oxidizers, chlorine dioxide does its electron-stealing job with very low power. CD can’t take electrons from the “good” bacteria that hold onto their electrons tightly; it can only take electrons from the greedy or “bad” organisms that don’t hold onto them very well.
Compare chlorine dioxide with hydrogen peroxide. If you have a wound, hydrogen peroxide will keep it from getting “infected.” However, as an orthopedic surgeon with forty years of practice, I have often had people tell me that their wound is not healing. When I ask them what they are doing, they say that they are using hydrogen peroxide. I tell them to stop using the hydrogen peroxide because it’s killing the cells that are trying to come into that wound and heal it. Chlorine dioxide does not cause damage in this way.
What about chlorine? When you use chlorine in a swimming pool or spa, it produces hydrocarbons, including chloramine, that are toxic and get into you. When I was a kid, my eyes would always sting after we’d gone to the pool. We thought it was just from being out in the sunlight for so long, but it was the chloramine. And when you dump that chlorinated water into the sewer, it becomes chloroform to some degree. This is not good stuff! Way back in 1956, the Belgian city of Brussels switched from chlorine to chlorine dioxide for their drinking water purification,5 recognizing that while chlorine may clean the water, it’s toxic to us.
Chlorine dioxide may seem to be new on the scene, but it has been around since 1814, when British chemist and inventor Sir Humphry Davy discovered chlorine dioxide gas.5 The U.S. has used chlorine dioxide in various applications since the 1930s. In 1944, for example, New York’s Niagara Falls community completely switched to chlorine dioxide in their water treatment plant because they had a problem with phenols and it was so effective at removing toxic contamination. They also said the water tasted better.
In 1967, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered chlorine dioxide for use as a sanitizer and disinfectant, with indicated uses including “food processing, handling and storage of plants, bottling plants, washing fruit and vegetables, sanitizing water, controlling odors and treating medical wastes.”5 I would wager that all the fruits and vegetables that you eat have been sanitized with chlorine dioxide. In 1988, the EPA also approved chlorine dioxide for hospital sterilization.
The government has used chlorine dioxide in a variety of decontamination situations. After 9/11, when weaponized anthrax was sent to a Senate office building in Washington, DC, they used chlorine dioxide gas to decontaminate that and other buildings.6 (They claimed that the decontamination cost six billion dollars, but I suspect they were able to pocket some of that money for the black budget because all they had to do was seal the building and “gas it up”!) Chlorine dioxide also decontaminates a wide range of chemical weapons.
In Louisiana, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) used chlorine dioxide in the clean-up after Katrina and advised the public to use chlorine dioxide tablets to make their drinking water safe.7 A nd o f c ourse, American universities know all about CD. Purdue University has been doing food services research on chlorine dioxide for decades.8
Because chlorine dioxide has so many uses and is so cheap, it has the potential to bring down Big Pharma. Government and mainstream medicine have expended considerable effort to prevent this.9 The attacks on chlorine dioxide use started in earnest after aerospace engineer Jim Humble wrote his 2006 book (and subsequent editions) titled Breakthrough: The Miracle Mineral Supplement of the 21st Century.10 Humble had been working in South America with gold miners who were very sick with malaria. Someone gave him some chlorine dioxide water purification tablets and told him that, in a pinch, they might help. When he gave the miners the pills, they got well overnight. That prompted Humble to start researching CD and spread the word about its benefits.
After Humble and my friend Mark Grenon got together and came up with various protocols, I think that was when Big Pharma realized they were in trouble and had their henchmen do something about it. In 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) started claiming that CD was “toxic industrial bleach” and that using the Jim Humble protocol was dangerous. Ironically, they issued this warning despite, at the same time, approving CD in mouthwashes, toothpaste and food services. In 2022, the FDA managed to get authorities in Colombia to extradite Grenon and his three sons and put them in a federal penitentiary. Mark spent four years in prison, and others have been similarly prosecuted.11 In other words, the same government that has approved and been using CD for decades wants to put you in prison just for talking about it.
Is there anything that CD doesn’t treat? There is published evidence, to cite a handful of examples, for its ability to neutralize Listeria monocytogenes,12 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),13 Klebsiella pneumoniae,14 E. coli15 and Salmonella.16 There are only two conditions for which I couldn’t find solid evidence of benefits: tuberculosis (TB) and mycoplasma (bacteria associated with respiratory illnesses like bronchitis and pneumonia). However, conventional treatment for multiple-drug resistant TB is costly and not very effective, and I can’t imagine why TB couldn’t be treated with CD much more cheaply.
If you look at the “official” scientific literature coming out of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), they claim that CD can treat only “little” bugs and not big particles like TB—but we know better. We know that it can treat parasites and protozoa very well.17 I think they’re telling you this to discourage you from looking into it. A parasitologist told me about a study of six or seven water treatment plants in different cities; they went to the end user’s kitchen tap, and they discovered that about 21 percent of all the water tested in people’s kitchens had the protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium. CD treats Cryptosporidium.18 It also treats Aspergillus,19 a very bad fungus I encountered when I was in practice in California’s Central Valley. In those days, we didn’t have anything except the antifungal amphotericin, nicknamed “ampho-terrible” because if you didn’t die of the Aspergillus, you’d die of the drug.
CD is also used in fish ponds and aquaculture.20 Chlorine will clean up the water, but it will also kill the fish. Chlorine dioxide works really well because you need so little of it—something like ten parts per million in a fish pond.
Inventor Howard Alliger,21 who filed numerous CD-related patents,22 founded Frontier Pharmaceutical in the early 1990s to create and commercialize “easily usable and shelf-stable” products delivering the benefits of chlorine dioxide, including mouthwash, toothpaste, and wound and skin care products.23 He had been interested in CD since the mid-1970s, having developed a product approved by EPA in 1981 as a high-level surface disinfectant.24
When Alliger looked at long-term safety studies in rats, puppies and humans, he could find no evidence of toxicity. For example, flour treated with two hundred parts per million and fed to rats had no effect even after several generations. He concluded, “Only chlorine dioxide among the common water treatment disinfectants (ozone, chlorine, chloramine, and chlorine dioxide), produces no signs of malignancy in test animals.” He also stated that although chlorine dioxide “is a strong oxidizing agent and a particularly fast disinfectant, there are no reports in the scientific literature of toxicity by skin contact or ingestion or, moreover, of mutagenicity.” His papers are on my website.25
There are a lot of chlorine dioxide protocols out there, and it’s my observation that this has left many people confused about how to use CD. So, I’m going to give you the “Keep It Simple, Stupid” method. There are downloadable instructions at my website (www.themedicalrebel.com) that you can print out. I don’t sell anything with chlorine dioxide, but I tell you where to get it, how to mix it and, if you want to, how to make your own.26 I also have a video that goes over this.27 That is not to say that other protocols, such as the one developed by Andreas Kalcker, may not have some advantages but I think that the method I describe is easier to explain and more straightforward for people who are just starting. Personally, I have found this method to be very effective, and I don’t feel a need to move on to anything else.
There are four basic things to know before you start. First, chlorine dioxide is a gas, so when you drink it, you’re drinking a gas in a liquid. That means that in between drinks, you need to keep it in a bottle with a lid. (Importantly, make sure not to use a metal bottle or lid; both should be either plastic or glass. CD will react with metal.) Second, the gas is made by combining sodium chlorite solution with an activator. The two activators that are commonly used are hydrochloric acid (HCL) or citric acid. I think the citric acid tastes bad, so I use HCL. Third, the dosage is in drops per day. Fourth, as Kerri Rivera has discovered in her work with autism, it’s best to take it all day long in small doses rather than in a few bigger doses. When they treat autistic kids every hour, they get much better results. What I do is make up my bottle in the morning and sip on it throughout the day until about seven in the evening.
Chlorine dioxide does not have very many “don’ts,” but here is one. You don’t want to take chlorine dioxide, an oxidant, with antioxidants like vitamin C or glutathione, because they will cancel each other out. If you are taking any medicines or supplements, I suggest taking them in the morning before you start drinking the CD, or in the evening after you’re done with it. I take my vitamin C in the evening.
To start, I recommend that you get a kit from a place like KVLab.28 It will include Part A (the sodium chlorite solution) and Part B (the activator). To mix the two, I use a shot glass— it’s helpful to have something small so that you can see what you’re doing. On the first day, start with one drop. (I have only seen one case, in someone very toxic, where they couldn’t handle even one drop; that is rare.) Here is what you do:
As far as the maintenance dose goes, your health picture and goals will play an important part in helping you decide what your target is going to be. Most people take eight to ten drops a day for their regular chlorine dioxide dose, but it can range more widely. Mark Grenon finds that three drops is his maintenance dose; Bob Sisson says that fifteen drops is the “anti-aging dose,” so that is what I use. A friend of mine who successfully treated his cancer keeps himself on twenty-four drops a day.
Once the body pushes a toxin out of the cell, how does the toxin get out of you? As I learned from Dr. Larry Palevsky, there are only a small number of exit routes. If you’re a child, your skin is very pliable and it’s easy for the body to push toxins out through the skin, so you get rashes. Most of us, however, get rid of toxins through diarrhea, vomiting, sweating, sneezing and watery eyes. You don’t want to stop up your diarrhea with something like Imodium because you will just be shutting down your ability to get rid of the toxins.
When you start taking chlorine dioxide, if you’re super toxic, you might have three to four bowel movements a day. (Just think of the toilet as your friend.) You are also likely to notice things coming out in your stool that you’ve never seen before, because we all have parasites. The first thing that the old Chinese medicine doctors always did when someone was sick was look at their stool. It’s a good idea to monitor your elimination patterns and your stool; if you’re spending too much time in the bathroom, that may be a sign that you need to back off on the number of daily drops you’re taking. In my case, I was pretty toxic. I thought I was doing all the right things—eating clean and so forth—but when I got up to about five drops a day, I really started getting rid of stuff.
I learned one thing the hard way through trial and error. Let’s say that you have been taking ten drops of chlorine dioxide a day for a while; you’re feeling better because you have detoxified, and everything is going well. Then, for whatever reason, you take three months off and then decide to start up again. Don’t start back at ten drops a day. I made that mistake and had so much diarrhea that I had fluid electrolyte shifts that made me light-headed. In that situation, it’s not that the chlorine dioxide is toxic, it’s that you accumulated toxins over those three months. You don’t want to come back in and blast it with a howitzer.
Once you have your oral program down, the next step is the bath protocol. I love taking a bath in chlorine dioxide. If you take one after gardening or a gym workout, your muscles will feel great. I should caution you that even though this isn’t “chlorine bleach,” when you’re making up your mixture, it can still bleach out your clothes. To avoid getting it on my bathroom sink or clothes, I keep a bottle of the basic solution and a bottle of the activator by my bathtub, and then I use a graduated cylinder to make the mixture. Assuming a standard-sized bathtub, those who use this for sick kids recommend five cubic centimeters (cc) of the basic solution combined with one to two cc of activator. I have a big bathtub, and I use ten or eleven cc of basic solution with just one or two cc of activator. Once I have filled the tub with hot water, I put the basic solution and activator in the graduated cylinder and tip it a few times, like you do in a chemistry lab, let it sit there for forty-five seconds or so (again, it will turn yellow to brown if you wait too long) and dump it into the hot water in the tub.
Interestingly, my husband had a wart for twenty years, and we had tried everything to get rid of it. After three months of taking frequent chlorine dioxide baths—four to five times a week—he noticed that his wart was gone.
If someone takes chlorine dioxide on a daily basis, they generally do not seem to get sick, but here is what you can do if you or a family member does get sick. Activate one drop, mix it into a cup of water and have them drink that every hour during waking hours. In addition, have them do a chlorine dioxide bath in the morning and at night. Most people will be completely well again in a couple of days.
Chlorine dioxide can also be used on the skin in combination with DMSO. DMSO drives other chemicals into the body, so it can carry the chlorine dioxide along with it. The caveat with DMSO is that you need to be impeccable about having clean skin, because if you have something toxic on your skin, it will drive that into your body, too. In my case, I have a basal cell carcinoma and a swollen lymph node. When I started doing the baths, I would put some DMSO on those areas and then, when making the chlorine dioxide mixture, rubbed some on those places as well. Both problem areas have shrunk down to almost nothing.
I recently discovered the Independent Cancer Research Foundation and used one of their protocols after I stepped on a nail that went about an inch into my foot. Their approach is a great way to help people who, for whatever reason, can’t drink chlorine dioxide. The caveat is that it is not practical if you are out and about; it works best when you can be home all day so that you can apply it every hour. That said, it’s very simple. First, you activate three drops of chlorine dioxide, and then you combine three drops of the activated chlorine dioxide with six drops of a 75 percent DMSO solution. Once an hour, rub it on the problem area, again making sure the skin is very clean and free of things like fragrances, perfumes or alcohol. The CD will get absorbed very quickly.
As an orthopedic surgeon, I realized a long time ago that the government’s guidelines are not just a little bit wrong; when they’re wrong, they are literally one hundred eighty degrees wrong, and that can’t always be by accident. Thus, when you get sick, I suggest that you review the guidelines put forth by the CDC, NIH and Institute of Medicine—and then do exactly the opposite. Chlorine dioxide can’t make up for the sea of poisons and electromagnetics that we’re in—and at some point we’re going to have to take that on—but it can help you better navigate them.
SIDEBARS
TRAVEL TIPS
When I travel, I travel with the sodium chlorite solution (Part A) and not the activator (Part B). (Note: I take care to wrap the bottle in a lot of paper towels, and I put it in two plastic bags, because you don’t want it to spill on your good suit.) If you have good hydrochloric acid in your stomach, you’re not on antacids, you don’t have ulcers and you’ve never had surgery on your stomach, you can get away without activating it. I would not start out this way, but later you can try it without the activation and see if your body activates it. The nice thing about that approach, especially for kids, is that it takes care of the taste issue—it just tastes like water. If I want to take a bath, I just go down to the hotel restaurant or bar and get some lemons, and squeeze a couple of lemon slices into the bath. That’s called “field expediency”! Alternatively, something that is easy to use when traveling is Frontier Pharmaceutical’s Snoot! nasal spray.29
THE HEROES
It’s important to acknowledge some of the chlorine dioxide heroes and thank them for what they have brought to the world. Here are a handful of the heroes:
HOWARD ALLIGER: Alliger’s work in this area was pioneering. An inventor with a number of CD-related patents, Alliger founded Frontier Pharmaceutical.
MANUEL APARICIO-ALONSO: Aparicio-Alonso was a conventional doctor in Mexico who says he “woke up” during Covid and has now treated over eight thousand people with chlorine dioxide.30,31
CURIOUS OUTLIER: Curious Outlier writes on Substack32 and made a documentary that is well worth watching. Titled The Universal Antidote: The Science and Story of Chlorine Dioxide,33 it shows why CD is “universal.”
MARK GRENON: Grenon gave quite a bit of his life to this fight, including four years in prison.
JIM HUMBLE: Humble’s book, Breakthrough: The Miracle Mineral Supplement of the 21st Century, upset the medical-pharmaceutical-industrial complex because they saw that chlorine dioxide posed a threat to the entire mainstream medical model.
ANDREAS KALCKER: A German biophysicist who resides in Switzerland, Kalcker helped give CD the imprimatur of an experienced scientist. He wrote The Essentials: Protocol Guide and Forbidden Health: Incurable Was Yesterday.
KERRI RIVERA: Rivera has been treating autism with chlorine dioxide for years and came out with a new book in 2024, Autism CD Protocol . . . and Other Autoimmune Disorders. She has done exceptional work.
BOB SISSON: My friend “Bob the plumber” takes large quantities of chlorine dioxide to Uganda every year. They treat malaria in “the poorest of the poor,” and they can show you that in four hours it goes away from the bloodstream.
WESTON A. PRICE FOUNDATION: WAPF has had the courage to put on meetings and publish articles that discuss these topics. That is not an insignificant thing!
DO IT YOURSELF
Once you start doing the baths, you will realize that those two little bottles you bought from KVLab for about thirty-five to forty-five dollars are not going to last very long. At that point, you may become interested in a simpler and more cost-effective way of doing this. You can get the specific instructions at my website. If you can make a milkshake, you can make this!
What you will need is a scale, some filtered or distilled water and sodium chlorite crystals. You can get a ten-pound bag of the crystals for around one hundred dollars, and that will last you a long time. You will also need HCL, and you need to be sure to do that part carefully and correctly. Another name for HCL is “muriatic acid,” and you can buy it at Loweʼs or Home Depot, but it usually comes in about a 35 percent concentration, and you want about 5 percent. That means that to use it, the muriatic acid has to be seven times less potent than it is in the bottle. Here are some basic tips:

After graduating in 1980 from the University of Rochester School of Medicine, she completed an orthopedic residency and served nearly twelve years as a physician and serving surgeon in the U.S. Navy. After a spinal surgery fellowship, she spent over twenty-five years in private practice, devoting her career to patient-centered ethical medicine. Dr. Merritt has also served on the board of the Arizona Medical Association, on the Naval Research Advisory Committee (where she looked at medical defense technology for the military) and is past president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.

ROLE OF THE TUMOR
Cancer and toxicity go together. The role of tumors is to store or sequester the toxins to a small circumscribed area to keep the poisons confined and prevent them from spreading. We know that tumors are highly toxic because when conventional cancer therapies break up a tumor very quickly and suddenly release cellular components into the bloodstream (a situation referred to as tumor lysis syndrome),1 this disturbance releases so much toxicity (or poison) that the person may die.
Researchers noted over twenty-five years ago that breast tissue stores toxic chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). They observed elevated levels of PCBs and other chemical residues “in fat samples from women with cancer, compared with [women] who had benign breast disease.”2 Investigators concluded that “environmentally derived suspect carcinogens” likely play a role in the “genesis of mammary carcinoma.”2 Looking at the issue of cancer and toxicity from another perspective, an independent researcher examined root canals and oral infections in nearly four thousand women who had lung or breast cancer and found that in 100 percent of the cases—without a single exception—the oral health problems were on the same side of the mouth and body as the cancers.3
We have known for even longer—nearly a century—that populations exposed to toxic substances have higher cancer and tumor rates. This is especially the case for people living or working near, downwind or down river from chemical factories, oil refineries, toxic waste dumps and other entities that spew poisons. The observation is inescapable—people exposed to toxins get cancer.
One of the best books ever written on this subject is The Secret History of the War on Cancer by Devra Davis.4 Dr. Davis wrote that in the 1930s, researchers in countries around the world (including Argentina, Austria, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Scotland, and the U.S.) all came to the same conclusion: “Where people lived affected getting cancer.”4
Like these 1930s researchers, European doctors have understood the role of toxicity in causing cancer for a long time. Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, popularizer of the Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) dietary protocol, went to medical school in Russia and says, “In Russia and Europe, it was always known that toxicity caused cancer; there was no question about it” (personal communication, May 2017). On the other hand, if you ask an American oncologist “Why did I get cancer?,” the oncologist will look at you like a deer in the headlights and mumble something about genetic mutations.
TUMORS COME AND GO
In most cases, tumors have a limited life span. In fact, tumors come and go throughout our lives. You may have many tumors today and none tomorrow— if your body is working as it should—because you have a natural ability to remove toxins. With effective detoxification, the tumors are no longer necessary, and your body can dissolve, neutralize and eliminate them. “Spontaneous remission” is the medical term that describes the body’s ability to dissolve and excrete tumors, even life-threatening ones. The tumors just disappear. Spontaneous remission is a well-documented phenomenon in the biomedical literature.5,6
Pathologists find far more tumors and cancers in autopsies (such as in victims of auto and other accidents) than doctors diagnose in living patients in their offices. A 1993 report noted that whereas 1 percent of living women between ages forty and fifty have “clinically apparent breast cancer,” almost two-fifths (39 percent) of autopsied women in the same age group show evidence of breast cancer.7
CHEMOTHERAPY HAS IT BACKWARD
Sadly, there is no guarantee of experiencing spontaneous remission. In the modern era, it is easy to become overly toxic from repeated exposure to internal toxins (endotoxins) and external toxins (exotoxins). When we cannot detoxify quickly enough, then tumors, although necessary, can grow out of control.
Josef Issels, MD, who recognized that tumors are “a late-stage symptom of a generalized illness affecting the whole body,” developed one of the most successful approaches to address cancer.8 He wrote that “a tumor can only develop in a diseased organism” and that “the tumor is a symptom of that illness.”8 Operating on the premise that “optimal” cancer treatments need to have a “causal” focus, Dr. Issels was able to restore many late-stage terminal cancer patients to good health.
The prevailing treatment model of the “War on Cancer”—kill the tumor—is completely backward. Attacking a tumor actually may cause a kickback effect wherein the body struggles harder to keep the tumor functioning. The body wants the tumors. Tumors are the answer, not the problem.
In this context, it should come as no surprise that studies have found that chemotherapy can make tumors more aggressive. In 2012, for example, news headlines announced the “shocking” and “completely unexpected” finding that chemotherapy can “backfire” and make cancer worse.9 Reporting on a prostate cancer study published in Nature Medicine about “treatment-induced damage to the tumor microenvironment,” 10 the news summary noted that “healthy cells damaged by chemotherapy secreted more of a protein called WNT16B, which boosts cancer cell survival.”9
A more recent report (July 2017) in Science Translational Medicine
on breast cancer came to much the same conclusion, stating that
chemotherapy promotes circulation of tumor cells in the bloodstream.11
In the researchers’ words
“chemotherapy, despite decreasing tumor size, increases the risk of metastatic dissemination.”11
It should be readily apparent that the answer to a toxic condition is not more toxicity. Chemotherapy is highly toxic. That is why courageous investigators have been sounding the alarm about chemotherapy for many years. A comprehensive review in 1992 of chemotherapy clinical trials and publications described the success rate of chemotherapy as “appalling,” with strong evidence pointing to “the absence of a positive effect.”12 In 2004, another major study reviewed fifteen years of chemotherapy treatments for the most common cancers causing the most deaths; the contribution of chemotherapy to five-year survival was minimal (about 2 percent).13
In 2015, researchers reporting on patients with end-stage cancer in JAMA Oncology concluded that “not only did chemotherapy not benefit patients…it appeared most harmful to those patients with good performance status.”14 The authors cautiously suggested that chemotherapy use in patients with terminal cancer “may need to be revised.”14 They also noted that an American Society of Clinical Oncology expert panel “identified chemotherapy use among patients for whom there was no evidence of clinical value as the most widespread, wasteful, and unnecessary practice in oncology.”14
COMPLETE HEALING
For complete healing, we must address cancer’s causes. What a person diagnosed with cancer needs most is a health-promoting lifestyle that reduces toxicity, provides nourishment and minimizes stress. The goal of health care practitioners who want to support full recovery should be to locate the causes of the toxicity (both internal and external) and work with the patient to enhance detoxification, cleansing and purification.
There is a reason why we find evidence of detoxification practices such as hot baths, saunas, fasting, cleanses, herbs and many other practices in every culture throughout humanity’s history. If ancient Greeks and Romans and native peoples from all over the world could understand the need for detoxification—long before the advent of the twentieth-century chemical industry—shouldn’t modern-day Americans recognize its importance as well? As a culture, we are far more toxic than any other civilization, and we have the diseases to show for it.
In 2003, I developed a system of working with body biofeedback that I now call the Koren Specific Technique (KST).15 KST practitioners locate and release hidden areas of toxicity and stress that other health care professionals often miss. Practitioners can use KST with anyone, no matter their age or health challenges.
Nine years ago, when doctors diagnosed a close family member with life-threatening brain tumors, I used KST along with the detoxification and support principles mentioned above—and the tumors disappeared.
The most important thing to remember is that cancer is a disease of toxicity. The best way to achieve a true cure, therefore, is to address this underlying cause. Recognizing that a tumor is an ally, not an enemy, makes it possible to work to promote its function so it will no longer be needed.
DIETARY PRINCIPLES FOR CANCER PATIENTS
A diagnosis of cancer often serves as a wake-up call to make profound dietary changes. Obviously, the first step is to
eat nothing but clean food, including pasture-fed animal products, and
to avoid all processed foods containing refined sweeteners and
industrial seed oils. The following foods support detoxification while
nourishing the body:
COD LIVER OIL: Unprocessed cod liver oil provides vitamins A and D in a range of forms. Vitamin A is the vitamin for
detoxification and the first requirement for cancer patients. Vitamin D
supports the immune system and works synergistically with vitamin A.
RAW WHOLE MILK: Raw milk is our best source of
glutathione, the body’s master detoxification compound. Plus, raw milk
provides complete nourishment in a form that is easily digested.
GELATIN-RICH BONE BROTH: Glycine in bone broth supports the liver in detoxification.
POULTRY LIVER: Liver from chicken, ducks and geese is
an excellent source of vitamin K, which provides strong
protection against cancer. It works synergistically with vitamins A and D
in cod liver oil. Plus, liver is a powerhouse of many other important
nutrients.
BUTTER: Butter is the queen of fats and provides many
compounds, specifically CLA, that help protect against cancer. Be sure
to use butter from grass-fed cows.
LACTO-FERMENTED FOODS: Fermented foods provide vitamin C and good bacteria for healthy gut flora.
