FEMINISING OF MEN

Eight Ways Society is Feminising Men Through Food And Products

A reoccurring theme in many of the food health concerns revolves around high estrogen levels. This can be harmful to men and women. It’s almost as if there is a conspiracy to reduce the population of humans on planet earth.

Perhaps Ori Hofmekler said it best:

“We’re on the fast track to extinction. In the past 50 years, sperm counts in men have dropped 50 percent, while the average man’s testosterone and sperm count has plummeted 20 percent in just the last 20 years.” 

 

There are dozens of chemicals found nearly everywhere that confuse sperm and destroy male health.

The conspiracy behind it seems rather obvious but debating the point is futile. What matters most is that we recognize that it is a problem and find ways to fix it.

According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, noted neurosurgeon and author of The Blaylock Report:

“Studies show that xenoestrogens from plastics appear to cause premature menses in young girls. Soy isoflavones appear to increase aggressiveness and heighten antisocial behavior in monkeys and appear to feminize male animals.”

Below is a list of high-estrogenic foods that should be avoided to live a life of abundant health that can be passed down to offspring.

 

1. Pesticides Used On Fruits and Vegetables

Pesticides that are sprayed on conventionally grown vegetables (often GMOs) act as estrogens once ingested.

The pesticides sprayed on conventionally grown (non-organic) vegetables act as estrogens once inside the body. (Source: PESTICIDES MAY BLOCK MALE HORMONES)

 

2. Soy Is Not Healthy

 Soy causes Gynecomastia aka Man Boobs (Moobs)

There are many reasons to avoid soy, one of the most heavily subsidized crops by the United States government. One of the best is the high estrogen-like effects on the human body. Soy leads to enlargement of breast tissue, water retention, female pattern fat deposition and mood swings. It can also decrease testosterone. (Source: 170 Scientific Reasons to Lose Soy in your Diet)

 

3. Hormones In Some Beef

To increase meat and milk products hormones are given to cows by some farmers. This meat, when ate by humans, is transferred to us. Once inside the body these compounds have strong estrogenic effects.

In addition cows are fed soy that has been soaked in pesticides. This is a triple whammy. This is why it is critical to eat grass-fed beef.

 

4. Beer
 

In his book The Natural Testosterone Plan, Stephen Harrod Buhner writes:

“Hops is best known for its use in beer. The majority of physicians and men overlook its potent chemicals and do not realize that beer itself can significantly alter the male androgen levels. German beer makers noticed long ago that the young women who picked hops in the fields commonly experienced early menstrual periods. Eventually, researchers discovered the reason – hops is perhaps one of the most powerfully estrogenic plants on Earth. Just 100 grams of hops (about 3.5 ounces) contains anywhere from thirty thousand to three hundred thousand IUs of estrogen, depending on the type of hops.

Most of it is the very potent estrogen estradiol. Estradiol, as it is taken into the male body, causes a direct lowering of testosterone levels in the testes and an increase in SHBG levels, which then binds up even more free testosterone in the bloodstream. The estradiol in hops has also been found to directly interfere with the ability of the testes Leydig cells to produce testosterone. The presence of this highly estrogenic substance in beer is not an accident.”

Commercials will have one that that drinking beer makes a man macho. Nothing can be further from the truth!

  

5. Television and the Feminization of Men

Male feminization on television has slowly be conditioned into the psyche of men. This has dramatically altered behavior patterns. To discuss this among some, it can be seen as homophobic. In reality, it’s recognizing that through diet and entertainment, a new male has risen and ‘he’ is more ‘she’ than ever.

 

6. Unsaturated Fats

Unsaturated fats from vegetable oils are mostly soy, which is an estrogenic plant byproduct, among the highest on the planet. These are covered in pesticides, which come with their own estrogenic properties.

Saturated fats from lard, butter, tallow, coconut oil, and so on help produce testosterone and are preferred alternatives.

 

7. BPA in Plastics

Xenoestrogen is a class of chemical that mimics estrogen in humans. Chemicals from plastics leak into cans, bottles, packaging of food, rivers, streams, lakes, oceans and everything else. Plastic is everywhere.

According to the national Institute of Health:

 “Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical produced in large quantities for use primarily in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins.”

Over 93% of American’s have BPA in their bodies. This reduces sperm counts in males.

Environmentalist Bruce Lowry describes the side effects we’re seeing from exposure to BPA:

“Things like Attention Deficit Disorder, Childhood Obesity, Asthma, Autism, and then a whole range of Cancer’s that we’re seeing too – Brain Cancer, Liver Cancer, Prostate Cancer. ”

 

8. Pthalates in Scents

Studies in male animals exposed to pthalates have found reduced sperm production, undescended testes, hypospadias, and decreased testosterone production.

Sources of Pthalates to avoid:

Shampoos, Colognes/Perfume, Deodorant, Hair Spray, Body Lotion, Makeup, Glade Plug-ins and other Air Fresheners.

 

Earthing

 An aspect of healthy primitive cultures that is seldom discussed, is that they had regular contact with the ground.

They had bare feet, or worked with bare hands in the earth, or lived in dirt floored houses. Often all three. If they wore shoes they were generally leather soled, which are electrically conductive if the soles are thin.

Or course they also had no vaccines, fluoride, drugs, emf’s, or amalgam fillings, and along with good nutrition and regular earthing, all of these factors are significant.

“The old people came literally to love the soil. They sat on the ground with the feeling of being close to a mothering power. It was good for the skin to touch the Earth, and the old people liked to remove their moccasins and walk with their bare feet on the sacred Earth. The soil was soothing, strengthening, cleansing, and healing.”

An Explanation of Earthing

We found this book explains it really well

Earthing is often just thought of as walking about barefoot, but as someone who never goes anywhere with bare feet it’s great to learn that it’s more effective to be earthed all night while sleeping.

(Earthing and Grounding are interchangeable words for the same process)

“Throughout most of evolution humans walked barefoot and slept on the ground, largely oblivious that the surface of the Earth contains limitless healing energy. Science has discovered this energy as free-flowing electrons constantly replenished by solar radiation and lightning.

Few people know it, but the ground provides a subtle electric signal that maintains health and governs the intricate mechanisms that make our bodies work-just like plugging a lamp into a power socket makes it light up.

Modern lifestyle, including the widespread use of insulating rubber or plastic-soled shoes, has disconnected us from this energy and, of course, we no longer sleep on the ground as we did in times past.

Earthing introduces the planet’s powerful natural healing energy and shows how people anywhere can readily connect to it. This eye-opening book describes how the physical disconnect with the Earth creates abnormal physiology and contributes to inflammation, pain, fatigue, stress, and poor sleep.

By reconnecting to the Earth, symptoms are rapidly relieved and recovery from surgery, injury, and athletic overexertion is accelerated”

 Some easy ways to earth to the ground

The benefits of Earthing are due to the constant flow of unattached electrons, which neutralise free radicals. This is similar to the effects of taking antioxidant nutrients, or petting your cat or dog, but more so.

There needs to be a direct connection between you and the Earth (not just any old earth, but directly to the planet itself). There are several ways this can be done:

Swimming in water – swimming or surfing in the ocean is very effective, as your whole body is connected. Swimming in lakes and rivers is also very effective, but without the salt, the water isn’t quite as conductive as sea water.

Lyall Bay, Wellington NZ

Wallking barefoot on conductive ground. Walking or paddling on the beach, particularly below the tide mark where the sand is damp, is very good. Walking on bare earth or grass is also good, especially if it is wet or damp. Walking barefoot on concrete may also have some beneficial effect, especially if it is damp.

Absorbing the fresh air and sunlight is an added benefit. (remember to avoid any sun block creams, but that’s another story)

But realistically on a daily basis these next two methods are more convenient.

Connecting your skin to a bare metal rod, planted in the earth in your garden. Use electrical wire to attach this rod to whatever you are attaching to your body – eg. metal mouse pad, bracelet, scenar pads or buy an earthing kit.

Use the connection on your house wiring. Connect your skin to the earth connection of your house’s electrical system. Only use this method if you are 100% sure your house is wired correctly!

Sleeping all night with the K1 points on your feet grounded does more than the half hour of barefoot walking that’s often recommended.

And its all pretty cheap and easy to do (no silver sheets are really required)

Experiments have shown rapid physical changes

Within minutes of being earthed, changes occur in the human system.

Dr. Stephen Sinatra ran an experiment in which dramatic reductions in cell aggregation (thinning and de-coupling) were documented in three subjects who were earthed at his home for 40 minutes.

The initial blood-draws reveal clumping and irregularity, while the final samples show relatively uniform and symmetrical cell distribution.

Blood cells before grounding, left, and after 40 minutes of grounding, right.

Thermograph images show a reduction in pain levels after . They show temperature, which relates to pain levels. Basically red and orange shows inflamation, blue and green are good, so the blue and green image on the right shows a huge reduction in pain from the orange and yellow one on the left.

Making your own connections

You don’t have to make your own connections, it’s easier to buy an kit online. A good starter set is two of the straight cords, two of the foot/wrist bands, and a connection plug. With this you can be earthed at home in minutes.

Reading online, it seems like many people on forums are mainly interested in getting into an over the top technical argument, or they just want to dismiss the whole thing without trying it, meanwhile some sites aim to sell expensive silver sheets.

The type of wire used for is not too critical – stranded copper wire is easiest to use because it’s flexible, but you can just use wire that you have lying around like solid core electrical cable or even speaker wire. Any wire that conducts will do the trick.

For the rod, any bare metal rod you can hammer into the ground will work so long as you have a way to firmly attach your wire to it. (no, Blutac will not do for this!) Threaded M10 (10mm) rod is very easy to use because you can thread nuts onto it to connect to the wire.

The threaded rod on the left is our home made rod, while the white painted one on the right is the house electrical grounding.

Some basic cable connection blocks are handy to join the wires.

Essentially, it’s easy and cheap to test out and see if it helps you. Start by standing barefoot on wet ground because that’s very easy to do. Or set up your own rod, and have a go with that.

There are many ways to connect an earth connection to your body. We use Scenar pads connected with a wire to a metal rod in the ground outside the window, and sleep with the K1 points on our feet earthed to the ground.

Although Scenar Therapy itself is not earthing , the Scenar accessories are very useful. The cables and sticky pads are designed to be electro conductive, and are ideal for earthing.

Here my leg is earthed using Scenar patches – this has helped to reduce the pain and inflammation from a broken knee joint.

There are other kinds of pads and wrist bands available such as the anti-static bands used for grounding when working on computers, that can be used for .

Grounding rods work better if the soil is wet, so if it hasn’t been raining, it helps to water the area around your metal grounding rod.

This webpage has a good summary of the make your own basics:

www.naturesplatform.com/earthing

The good thing about the info on this site is that it’s really cheap and basic, but ignore the stuff about connecting to plumbing pipes and fittings – unless you know otherwise about your own house, most older houses have had their metal pipes replaced with plastic ones. And newer houses are using plastic pipes. So plumbing fittings are generally not much use for earthing.

Under our floor, the old metal pipes remain, but they are not connected to anything – all the working plumbing is plastic.

Note that they say “include a 100K ohm resistor if you are plugging the device into the wall, in case there is a short in the building’s wiring”

That’s probably very good advice, but we haven’t actually done this ourselves.

We are confident that if for some reason the live wire and the earth wires were shorted together somewhere in the house our fuses will immediately trip.

But we realise that for an instant before the fuse trips, there could be current in our earthed mouse pads.

We are not electricians, but we are also not entirely mad. We don’t sleep grounded to our power socket connections and are not in a location that experiences lightning.

Scenar Therapy

We have been asked if Scenar therapy is a form of earthing. No, it isn’t. We are big fans of Scenar therapy, and use it ourselves regularly. A Scenar is battery powered and has no connection to earth. Though you can certainly use one while you are earthed.

Scenar treatments are especially good for reducing pain and loosening tight muscles. For a person who is trained in using them they can be similar to using acupuncture, and for the home user, they can be a very simple and effective self therapy – just apply them to the sore spot.

But they are quite expensive, unlike earthing which can be free or very cheap, depending on how you go about it.

If you are wanting to buy a Scenar device we recommend buying one directly from Russia from Kalinka Store (they are easy to deal with)

The particular model we recommend is the Scenar Sport D because it has all the essentials, and includes a digital display. It fits in your pocket so you can use it with patches while you are doing other things. If you want the cheapest one that does all the basics go with the Basic Model. (the Basic still includes FM mode so it’s great value for money. The dearer 02 model lacks FM mode so we do not recommend it) The Professional models have many more functions but require training to fully utilise and are too big to fit easily in a pocket.

To experience Scenar therapy we recommend seeing Pip Martin. She can also supply scenar accessories such as stick on patches and cables.

The Scenar speeds up the body’s capacity to heal by providing energy (voltage) with frequencies to cells. Cell membranes work like batteries to store electrons to provide energy for use by the mitochondria (power houses) within the cell.  Scenar stimulates the body’s own pharmacy of pain relief and healing chemicals (neuropeptides) to return the body to homeostasis. It can also be used as a diagnostic tool to identify sites of high impedence or low energy, indicating an ailment.

The Scenar is a small hand-held device which causes a tingling sensation when run over the skin.

EMF’s

We work from home, and have a crazy amount of computers and appliances.

Using earthed mouse pads hopefully reduces these EMF’s.

We have 4 desktop computers, a laptop, a netbook, and two tablets, as well as around 200 appliances, so EMF’s are a bit of a worry. And we also have 3 cell phone towers with 100m and our neighbors have WIFI’s with stronger signals than our own one…

We avoid using mobile phones and cordless phones, and usually avoid turning our own WIFI on. But overall our EMF exposure is not good.

This home made mouse pad is made from a steel oven tray , wired up to a std plug and plugged into the earth connection of a regular wall socket.

Oven Tray, 2m of wire, 3 pin plug, small nut and bolt – and there it is, home made earthed mouse pad – the steel oven tray is really nice to use, smooth, comfortable and cool. Looks good too! Test your connections as you go with a volt meter.

Admittedly the USA Postal team were taking a truck load of drugs as well, but the wound healing credited to in this video is impressive.

US Postal Team – “the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping program the sport has ever seen” – And they also used earthing!

 Some things that are not earthing

Wearing “Five Fingered Shoes”

They have positive health benefits in other ways, but these rubber soled shoes are not beneficial for at all. They prevent any earth contact with the ground.

Foot baths, or detox baths

They are good for detoxing and relaxation, but although water is conductive, the bath itself is not earthed so it has no grounding properties. The same applies to resting your feet in trays of clay, earth, or sand.

All of these things are inferior conductors to metal, so from an point of view you would be better off to sit with your feet on a metal oven tray. Then you are only one step away from the oven tray with a wired connection and things would start happening.

  Going barefoot to the shops

From our house, we start by walking on the asphalt footpath – asphalt is not conductive. Crossing the asphalt road is also not grounding.

The footpath at the shops is brick (Poor conductivity) laid over gravel (also very little conductivity).

Many of the shop entrances have tiles (laid on a rubbery tile adhesive – no conductivity here either), and while the shops themselves often do have concrete floors (there can be some conductivity through bare concrete), they are covered in lino, or carpet, or paint. So the entire barefoot trip to the shops results in no at all.

People from America seem to find it freakish that people in NZ are often seen barefoot at the shops, but sadly it doesn’t create any real opportunities. Especially if they drove to the shops!

Lambton Quay, Wellington NZ.

Car mats

We are skeptical of the value of these products.

Unless you drive with no pants, or have no air conditioning and are sweating so much that your pants are wet, or maybe you have wet yourself, you will have very little conductivity through both your undies and pants to a mat. Rather than using a mat, a far better way to connect to your car frame would be using patches or a wrist band.

Next problem is that modern cars don’t have that much of a connected metal framework. They use plastic and rubber mounted components. Most of the metal is covered in anti-corrosive coatings. You would be lucky to find somewhere to connect the mat to using an alligator clip that had a good connection.

And this brings us to problem three – the biggie – a car has no connection to the ground – it is on four rubber tyres . So any from a mat is only an anti static within the car, to its chassis. It is not an actual connection.

So all its doing is dissipating static. If you want to use one of these mats put it under your feet and drive barefoot, or sit on it with no pants

Originally, auto testing was done by American truck drivers to their trucks and seeing how they felt while driving. An American truck weighs around 40 tons and has a lot of metal to earth to. Your car is probably less substantial than that.

We are not electricians and you shouldn’t blindly follow our advice. Do not connect yourself to your house earth sockets unless you know for sure that your house wiring has been done correctly.

It’s your responsibility to research this information yourself, and make sure you are comfortable with it. If in doubt only wire yourself directly to the ground, and not through your power sockets.

20 Foods to avoid

This is a good universal list of foods everyone would be best to avoid. Many people have additional foods they need to avoid, common ones being nightshades (especially potatoes) that can cause joint pain, and all forms of gluten can trigger digestive issues in gluten intolerant people.

1. Do not eat commercially processed foods such as cookies, cakes, crackers, TV dinners, soft drinks, packaged sauce mixes, etc. Read labels!

2. Avoid all refined sweeteners such as sugar, dextrose, glucose, high fructose corn syrup and fruit juices.

3. Avoid white flour, white flour products and white rice.

4. Avoid all hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats and oils.

5. Avoid all industrial polyunsaturated vegetable oils made from soy, corn, safflower, canola or cottonseed.

6. Avoid foods cooked or fried in polyunsaturated oils or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

7. Do not practice veganism. Animal products provide vital nutrients not found in plant foods.

8. Avoid products containing protein powders as they usually contain carcinogens or damaged proteins formed during processing. Likewise, avoid lean meat, skinless poultry, reduced-fat milk and egg whites without the yolks. Consumption of protein without the cofactors occurring in animal fats can lead to deficiencies, especially of vitamin A.

9. Avoid processed, pasteurized milk; do not consume ultrapasteurized milk products, lowfat milk, skim milk, powdered milk or imitation milk products.

10. Avoid factory-farmed eggs, meats and fish.

11. Avoid highly processed lunch meats and sausage.

12. Avoid rancid and improperly prepared seeds, nuts and grains found in granolas, quick rise breads and extruded breakfast cereals, as they block mineral absorption and cause intestinal distress.

13. Avoid canned, sprayed, waxed and irradiated fruits and vegetables. Avoid genetically modified foods (found in most soy, canola and corn products).

14. Avoid artificial food additives, especially MSG, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and aspartame, which are neurotoxins. Most soups, sauce and broth mixes and most commercial condiments contain MSG, even if not indicated on the label.

15. Avoid all coffee, and minimize caffeine from tea and chocolate.

16. Avoid aluminum-containing foods such as commercial salt, baking powder and antacids. Do not use aluminum cookware or deodorants containing aluminum.

17. Do not drink fluoridated water.

18. Avoid synthetic vitamins and foods containing them.

19. Avoid all alcohol, especially distilled liquors (brandy, gin, rum, tequila, vodka, & whiskey)

20. Do not use a microwave oven.

Tumours Detoxify

ARE TUMOURS ONE OF THE BODY’S WAYS OF DETOXIFYING?

 

 

Why the sickness industry’s approach to cancer is such a disaster.

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.

Medical Industry For Profits

 

Everything We Have Been Told Is A Lie – The Medical Industry Is Designed For Profit Not People!

We are taught to believe that the medical industry is there to heal us but sadly this is often not the case. Although there are many good Doctors trying hard to assist people, the medical industry sees patients as clients from which to generate profit. There are positives to western medicine but the industry has become riddled with corruption.

Pharmaceutical companies have a single aim which is to generate as much profit for their shareholders as possible. Big Pharma has no financial incentive to heal you because they would loose a client. In this post we will discuss the true agenda for Big Pharma and the corruption built into the industry.

Big Pharma belongs to the web of large holdings which has allowed a very small number of powerful families to own the majority of our world. This imbalance has caused death, destruction and disharmony on our planet.

The Birth Of Big Pharma

Modern medicine and the Big Pharma cartel are relatively new phenomenons. In their short lifespan they have been guilty of almost every skullduggery known to humanity including murder. Contrary to acting for the benefit of humanity the industry avariciously covets profits. It is far more profitable to endlessly treat the symptoms rather than cure a disease. A prime founder of the industry was John D. Rockefeller who had already made enormous amounts of money with his Standard Oil company. Using his petrochemical products Rockefeller created chemicals which he sold as medicinal cures. Having once been quoted as saying “competition is a sin” Rockefeller set about removing any competition from medical practices which had been practiced previously. By this point the Supreme Court of the U.S. had already found Rockefeller and his trust guilty of corruption, illegal business practices and racketeering.

Rockefeller helped to define modern philanthropy with many large grants to Universities and trusts setting the stage for the corporate control of the medical schools and publications. This plan has largely been achieved globally and channels enormous wealth into the hands of a few people who control the industry. At every opportunity natural products have been patented or outlawed increasing the monopoly power of the cartel.

The primary function of the industry is to generate profit and that is most readily achieved by selling pills or procedures to people. Using natural remedies and cost effective cures does not factor into this equation. A trip to any chemist in the west today presents you shelves of expensive products but few if any of the natural and effective remedies which were available to our ancestors.

Big Phama Calling The Shots

A telling indicator of the state of the industry today is that the pharmaceutical lobby is the biggest spender in the US, spending a whopping $240 million on lobbying last year. This gives you an indication of how much money is involved in the industry and the need for Big Pharma to push for laws and conditions which will maximise their profits. This situation reeks of corruption.

Corruption is rife throughout the industry and I witnessed it first hand when I organised an event for one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. The event was held on a tropical island attended by 300 doctors. The doctors were allowed to bring their wives, families or mistresses with them to the event. Everything was paid for the doctors including flights, hotel, transfers, food and beverages. At the end of the week the pharmaceutical company signed off on the doctor’s yearly mandatory study hours. Practically none of the doctors attended the event and even if they had it was just a marketing exercise for the company’s products. The implicit agreement was that the doctors could have a free weeks holiday once a year and have their study hours validated if they continued to sell this company’s products. These doctors seemed to have forgotten their Hippocratic Oath! My post on this experience can be read here.

Fortuitously I was having dinner in Phnom Penh last night with two indian heads of generic pharmaceutical firms. Both confirmed with me that bribing doctors with trips or gifts is standard even in the generic pharmaceutical business. This corruption is normal! These two gentlemen believed that the gifts were necessary but if the product was inferior then doctors would stop prescribing it. I think they were kidding themselves. When there is money involved there are always people who will be influenced by the trips and gifts. Big Pharma pays for over 30,000 of these doctor events yearly in Australian alone!

Much of modern medicine has deteriorated to identifying a symptom and then prescribing a pharmaceutical to deal with that one particular issue. The veterinary industry is exactly the same. I spent many years working with horses and became disillusioned with veterinarians. I searched out a healer who could teach me about plants and found the natural cures to be more effective and cheaper than the pharmaceuticals for many conditions.

Some estimates put the yearly cost of pharmaceutical marketing in the US at $56 billion! This huge amount of money is spent to drive the profits of the industry. Combined with the enormous amount of money spent on lobbying it is clear how profitable this industry is. In Australia recently there were TV advertisements that advised people to see their doctor to be prescribed medication for nerve pain. What does that even mean?

Medical Tragedies

The medical industry is not only very profitable but it also contributes to the deaths and injury of enormous amounts of people. Between 1996 and 2001, American pharmaceutical giant Purdue Pharma held over than 40 national “pain management symposia” for thousands of medical professionals in idyllic locations. These all expenses paid trips increased sails of OxyContin tenfold and started the current opioid addiction crisis. Pushing this addictive product onto people is very profitable but amounts to nothing more than drug pushing.

By 2012, sales of prescription opioids grossed $11 billion in the US annually and insufficient regulatory oversight contributed to over 15,000 fatal overdoses! This is just one of numerous tragic stories that implicate the medical industry with corruption and contributing to human death and misery.

Consolidation & Corruption

The proposed merger of Monsanto and Bayer Pharmaceuticals would create a truly frightening company that could be very harmful to humans and the planet. This merger is indicative of the consolidation we see happening in all large industries. One half of this frightening company would poison our food and the other half would sell us drugs to deal with the illnesses caused by eating poisoned food. Terrifying!

Regulators are still discussing whether to allow the merger but with the extreme lobbying budgets of these two giants and the extended political influence they have I suspect we will see the merger go ahead. To be honest I believe that these large multinational companies are all owned at the top by a few vastly powerful and wealthy families which interlock.

Vaccines

I know that the topic of vaccination is contentious and I also have an understanding of what the sentiment towards vaccines here on Steemit is. The topic has been covered at length but I just wish to raise a few points which are worth considering about vaccines.

• Remember that Big Pharma is designed to produce as much profit as possible, human welfare is not the primary goal.
• In the US families of those injured or killed by vaccines are not allowed to sue the pharmaceutical companies. This is a huge red flag. What other industry can you think of where the corporations cannot be held responsible for injury or death?
• The number of people who have received compensation from the US government for vaccination injury or death is rising.
• The number of vaccines that are given to people has sky rocketed in my lifetime.
• Children are vaccinated at birth for hepatitis B which is a disease normally transmitted through sharing needles or sex. This is incredibly strange.
• Australian children are now given 32 vaccines before they are 1 year old. A full lifetimes worth of vaccinations can be almost a hundred vaccines. The official Australian vaccination schedule can be found here.
• This all adds up to enormous profit for Big Pharma!

The concept of herd immunity is often used to justify vaccinations. However a massive percentage of the population in places like Australia, the US and UK flies in and out of the country each year as tourists but none of these people are checked for vaccinations. How does this impact the concept of herd immunity? To me it seems to negate the concept. Can someone please explain this to me?

The Cycle Of Money

This colossus of an industry generates enormous volumes of money for the owners. This money is then redistributed to push for more profits. Money is spent in two directions. Firstly on lobbying with the pharmaceutical lobby being the biggest of all lobby groups in the US. This gives Big Pharma powerful influence over the government and allows them to push for laws which are favourable to them and increase profits.

Secondly the money is spent on advertising. In 2015 pharmaceutical advertising rose to $5.2 billion and there seems no sign of this trend reversing. This huge amount of money gives the pharmaceutical industry enormous influence over the already corrupt media industry. My intuition tells me that at the top both industries are controlled by the same people. The influence over the media means news stories which are not favourable towards Big Pharma are often suppressed and important information withheld from the public. News can also be skewed to be favourable for the industry and I suspect that this kind of information manipulation is happening with the vaccine debate.

All this money sloshing around to push for more profits and the cycle begins again. The concept of healing does not have a place in this process the driving factor is profit not people!

What Can We Do To Heal The Situation?

One of the most interesting studies for me has been learning about natural healing. Plants are powerful and have enormous healing properties. The knowledge of plant medicine is ancient and deserves much more respect than it gets. After all many pharmaceuticals are based around plants. There is a lot of valuable information online but it is important to remember that some plants can harm you if used incorrectly. The best thing to do is find people who already know about plants and talk with them. These people are not as common as they used to be before in our western cities but they are around if you look for them.

I do not wish this post to be a criticism of all doctors and professionals working in the medical industry because there are some amazing hard working people who dedicated themselves to the alleviation of illness and pain in others. I have doctors in my family and they agree with my perspective on corruption within the industry. What I see here is that Big Pharma has corrupted the medical industry. The relentless push for profits inevitably puts the welfare of patients second.

With the use of simple traditional remedies many common ailments can be effectively naturally treated cost effectively. One product that I find extremely effective which I make and use myself is Colloidal Silver. I will do a post soon on my experience with this product. Natural cures are excellent but mostly staying healthy is about eating clean healthy food and regular exercise! ?
