I then wrote the first edition in Mac Pages. At that time, Pages had a spell
checker but not a grammar checker. I exported it from Pages to Word so I
could use Word’s grammar checker. Unfortunately it moved the graphics
again. After correcting grammar and punctuation, I ported it back to Pages,
repositioned the images and exported it to PDF, the format demanded by
Amazon’s printer. What I didn’t realize was that porting it back and forth
changed the spelling and punctuation. I also didn’t realize that an image
that looked great in color in Adobe PDF may be unreadable when printed
in black and white.
I found that most authors of books and newspapers use Adobe InDesign
for writing. I bought it and spent the time learning its quirks. I wrote the
second edition in InDesign. I used its spell checker and grammar checker
and used Adobe Photoshop to turn the color images into black and white. I
exported it to Adobe PDF and it was printed by Amazon’s printer.
I still got criticism for the formatting and grammar. I then had Amazon’s
printer staff edit it. Unfortunately and surprisingly, they don’t work with
Adobe InDesign but insisted on having it in---you guessed it---Microsoft
Word for editing. Of course Adobe InDesign doesn’t export into Microsoft
Word but only Adobe Acrobat. I therefore had to export it to PDF and then
use Adobe Acrobat to export it to Word. Amazon’s editors edited it but
removed all the graphics in the process---uugggh! Now I had the text
edited but Word keeps moving the graphics around and Microsoft doesn’t
know why.
Eventually I ported it back into Pages, put the graphics where they belong
and had another editor review it. You guessed it---they changed some of
the editing that Amazon’s editors had made.
I have spent a lot of time and resources dealing with editors, formatting
and computer software deficiencies instead of science. Three editors have
reviewed it. I have done the best I can do in trying to communicate my
concepts to you. I hope you will try to understand the message and not
worry too much about whether my comma is in the right or wrong place
according to whatever rule book you follow.
Be Well!
In the US, there is a separation of church and state. For example, when you
apply for and sign your name to a driver’s license, you are giving the state
permission to control your operation of a vehicle. However, police officers
have no authority in a church, registered as a Private Expressive
Association, unless they are invited in by those ordained by the church. A
Private Expressive Association is exempt from secular laws because
secular laws apply to the public and members of the Association are
private. The Supreme Court makes it clear that private members of a
Private Expressive Association may do whatever they wish as long as what
they do does not create a clear and present danger that rises to the level of
a substantive evil. For example, you could create a boxing club. Boxing
creates a clear and present danger but does not rise to the level of a
substantive evil and thus the police or other governmental agencies cannot
prevent the members from boxing.
Most attorneys are not familiar with the laws regarding Private Expressive
Associations. Neither are regulatory officials of cities, states or the federal
government. They should become familiar since if they violate these
rights, they are personally liable for their actions and their governmental
immunity does not apply.
There is a separate set of case law regarding the separation of church and
state. These laws often overlap the rights given to Private Expressive
Associations.
“In the United States, the term is an offshoot of the phrase, “wall of
separation between church and state”, as written in Thomas Jefferson’s
letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802. The original text reads:
“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between
Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his
worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, &
not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole
American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law
respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”
Jefferson reflected his frequent speaking theme that the government is not
to interfere with religion. The phrase was quoted by the United States
Supreme Court first in 1878, and then in a series of cases starting in 1947.
The phrase “separation of church and state” itself does not appear in the
United States Constitution. The First Amendment states that “Congress
shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof.” The Supreme Court did not consider the
question of how this applied to the states until 1947; when they did, in
Everson v. Board of Education, the court determined that the first
amendment applied to the states and that a law enabling reimbursement for
busing to all schools (including parochial schools) was constitutional.”

“…neither this court nor any branch of this government will consider the
merits or fallacies of a religion. Nor will the court compare the beliefs,
dogmas, and practices of a newly organized religion with those of an older,
more established religion. Nor will the court praise or condemn a religion,
however excellent or fanatical or preposterous it may seem. Were the court
to do so, it would impinge upon the guarantee of the First Amendment.”
Judge Brattin, Eastern District of California, in Universal Life Church, Inc.
vs. United States, 372 F. Supp. 770, 776 (E.D. Cal 1974)
The Congress of the United States adopted the RFRA, the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (P.L. 103-141). In this enactment
Congress determined that “governments should not substantially burden
religious exercise without compelling justification…” and that “laws
‘neutral’ toward religion may burden religious exercise…” Therefore
Congress determined to protect the free exercise of religion as follows:
The Supreme Court has both limited this law (doesn’t apply to the States)
and reaffirmed it: “Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA), 107 Stat. 1488, as
amended, 42 U. S. C. §2000bb et seq., ... adopts a statutory rule .... Under
RFRA, the Federal Government may not, as a statutory matter,
substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion…” Gonzales v O
Centro, No. 04–1084 - February 21, 2006.
In the case of State v Biggs (46 SE Reporter 401, 1903) the North Carolina
Supreme Court dealt with a person who was advising people as to diet, and
administering massage, baths and physical culture. That Court held that
there could be no “state system of healing” p.402 and while “Those who
wish to be treated by practitioners of medicine and surgery had the
guaranty that such practitioners had been duly examined...those who had
faith in treatment by methods not included in the ‘practice of medicine and
surgery’ as usually understood, had reserved to them the right to practice
their faith and be treated, if they chose, by those who openly and avowedly
did not use either surgery or drugs in the treatment of diseases...” (p.402).
“Medicine is an experimental, not an exact science. All the law can do is to
regulate and safeguard the use of powerful and dangerous remedies, like
the knife and drugs, but it cannot forbid dispensing with them. When the
Master, who was himself called the Good Physician, was told that other
than his followers were casting out devils and curing diseases, he said,
‘Forbid them not.’” (p.405).
Government action may burden the free exercise of religion in two quite
different ways: by interfering with an individual’s observance or practice
of a particular faith, see, e.g., Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v.
City of Hialeah, 508 U.S. 520, 532, 113 S.Ct. 2217, 124 L.Ed.2d 472
(1993), and by encroaching on the church’s ability to manage its internal
affairs, see, e.g., Kedroff v. St. Nicholas Cathedral, 344 U.S. 94, 116, 73
S.Ct. 143, 97 L.Ed. 120 (1952). See EEOC v. Catholic Univ. of Am., 83
F.3d 455, 460 (D.C.Cir. 1996).”
“The right to organize voluntary religious associations to assist in the
expression and dissemination of any religious doctrine and to create
tribunals for the decision of controverted questions of faith within the
association, and for the ecclesiastical government of all the individual
members, congregations, and officers within the general association, is
unquestioned. All who unite themselves to such a body do so with an
implied consent to this government, and are bound to submit to it. But it
would be a vain consent and would lead to the total subversion of such
religious bodies, if any one aggrieved by one of their decisions could
appeal to the secular courts and have them reversed. It is of the essence of
these religious unions, and of their right to establish tribunals for the
decision of questions arising among themselves, that those decisions
should be binding in all cases of ecclesiastical cognizance, subject only to
such appeals as the organism itself provides for.
Watson v. Jones, 80 U.S. (13 Wall.) 679, 728-29, 20 L.Ed. 666 (1872).5
Accordingly, the autonomy of a church in managing its affairs and
deciding matters of “church discipline or the conformity of the members of
the church to the standard of morals required of them” has long been
afforded broad constitutional protection. Id. at 733.6 This Court, too, has
long recognized a structural restraint on the constitutional power of civil
courts to regulate matters of religion in general, Brown v. Clark, 102 Tex.
323, 116 S.W. 360, 363 (Tex. 1909), and of church discipline in particular,
Minton v. Leavell, 297 S.W. 615, 621-22 (Tex.Civ.App.-Galveston 1927,
writ ref’d). The Minton court cogently explained why courts must decline
jurisdiction over disputes concerning church membership.”
“It seems to be settled law in this land of religious liberty that the civil
courts have no power or jurisdiction to determine the regularity or validity
of the judgment of a church tribunal expelling a member from further
communion and fellowship in the church. Membership in a church creates
a different relationship from that which exists in other voluntary societies
formed for business, social, literary, or charitable purposes.”
Most people have heard of Andrew Weil, MD, the famous professor at the
medical school in Tucson AZ. His teachings about the use of nutrition to
support health is widely known, respected, and practiced. In spite of that,
the FDA and the FTC told him that if he didn’t stop suggesting that
improving your immune system would help prevent you from getting the
flu, he would be put in jail and fined!

This book suggests a different paradigm for the care of chronic disease
based on the recognition that we must constantly make new cells to replace
those that are worn out or damaged. Chronic disease occurs when we lose
the ability to make new cells that work.
To reverse chronic disease we must look for the reasons that we have lost
the ability to make new cells that work. Making new cells requires -50
millivolts of energy, amino acids to make the inside of cells, fats to make
the outside of cells, vitamins and minerals to make the metabolic processes
work, oxygen, a fuel system (fats and glucose), a sewage system to get rid
of waste proteins (lymphatic system), a system to protect us from
infections, and a way to get rid of toxic substances.
Almost all chronic diseases are characterized by low voltage. Just as a new
Mercedes without a battery isn’t going anywhere, a body without a
functional electrical system doesn’t work either. Therefore, the title of this
book is Healing is Voltage.
The main things that control voltage are thyroid hormone, fulvic acid,
dental infections, scars and exercise.
The body’s source of fats is bile from the liver/gall bladder system
allowing fat to be absorbed. Surprisingly, production of bile is based on
stomach acid.
Humic and fulvic acid are in control of vitamins and minerals as well as
being a source of amino acids. Because of our farming practices there is
little humic and fulvic left in our food supply.
Much of the digestive process that provides fats and glucose is controlled
by stomach acid since it is stomach acid that tells the pancreas to make the
enzymes necessary to digest our food.
This book begins the process of your understanding what things you must
do to make new cells. Making new cells that work is the key to curing all
chronic disease. You must stop thinking about having heart disease,
indigestion, headaches, a gall bladder problem etc. and trying to find a
solution for that particular disease/symptom. You must ask the question,
“Why can’t I make new cells that work?” When you find the answer, you
know what to do to get well. It all starts when you start thinking like an
electrician instead of a physician. Check the voltages in the wiring system
of the body (the acupuncture system) and you will be on your way to
finding the problem and its solution.
1 Who is Jerry Tennant?
I graduated as valedictorian of high school at age
sixteen. I completed my junior and senior years
simultaneously by taking home study courses. I
completed college except for three hours in two and
a half years at Texas Tech University. I received the
Phi Kappa Phi Award and the premed of the year
award.
I was one of the first surgeons in the United States to place intraocular
lenses in eyes after cataract surgery. I taught those techniques around the
world.
See www.tennantinstitute.com.
What we didn’t know at the time was that the laser did not kill viruses. The
laser would strike the cornea, release viruses, and they would float upward
through my mask into my nose and into my brain. I developed
encephalitis, neuropathies, a low platelet count, and other nervous system
defects in 1994. I could see a patient to diagnose what was wrong with
them, but I couldn’t remember how to write a prescription. I also
developed spastic movements that prevented me from safely performing
eye surgery. I had to quit work on November 30, 1995.
For almost seven years, I slept about sixteen hours per day. Remember that
I had viruses in my brain and viruses in my spleen. Note in the picture that
my dog Tigger would sleep on my head, and my dog Pooh would curl up
next to my spleen. They seemed to know where my voltage was low, and
they were my constant “electron donors”!
2 We Need a New Medical
Paradigm
The purpose of this book is to suggest a new paradigm for western
medicine. Many think that the paradigm we have is the best in the world.
That simply isn’t true. Our health care system is a disaster, both in
outcomes and affordability.
Despite the popular myth that the United States has the best medical care
in the world, the opposite is true. We are ranked thirty-seventh in the
world by the World Health Organization! The World Health
Organization’s ranking of the world’s health systems was last produced in
2000, and the WHO no longer produces such a ranking table, because of
the complexity of the task.
The World Health Organization has carried out the first ever analysis of
the world’s health systems. Using five performance indicators to measure
health systems in 191 member states, it found that France provides the best
overall health care followed among major countries by Italy, Spain, Oman,
Austria, and Japan.
The findings were published June 21, 2000, in “The World Health Report
2000 – Health Systems: Improving Performance.”
An often overlooked truth is that we tend to get well by making new cells,
not by correcting those that are malfunctioning. We replace the rods and
cones in our retina every forty-eight hours. The lining of our intestines is
replaced every three days. We replace our skin every six weeks, our liver
every eight weeks, our nervous system every eight months, and our bones
every year. This brings nutrition into a clearer focus. If we are going to
make good cells, we must have good raw materials to make them. In
addition, we must not be missing necessary components.
If we build a new house from material taken from a house that was torn
down because of termite damage, the new house will not be a very good
one. If we build new cells from recycled materials, the new cells may not
be any better than the ones that were worn out.
If we build a house but we don’t have any shingles, the house won’t be a
good house. If we build a cell that is missing a critical component like
vitamin C, it may not work correctly. To be healthy, we must eat quality
food that is not filled with preservatives and toxins. When was the last
time that your doctor told you about the dangers of trans fats, synthetic
sweeteners, fluoride, etc.?
Many doctors are required to see fifty to sixty patients a day to have
enough income to keep their offices open and pay the corporations that
hire them. It is impossible to do much more than write a prescription and
move on to the next patient.
When you go to a doctor he/she will likely order a complete blood count, a
urinalysis, a comprehensive medical profile (tests for liver and kidney
function, glucose, minerals, etc.), and a blood fat analysis. If these tests
come back normal, the doctor will tell you that you are fine and that your
complaints are all in your head. If you persist in complaining about your
health, you will likely be sent to a psychiatrist!
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: A 1999 study found no decrease in breast
cancer mortality in Sweden, where screening has been
recommended since 1985. We therefore reviewed the
methodological quality of the mammography trials and an
influential Swedish meta-analysis, and did a meta-analysis
ourselves.
However, most children born in the United States are not at risk for
hepatitis B. It would be easy to identify those at risk by simply testing
pregnant women for the virus. Instead, U.S. health policy requires that
every newborn baby be given the vaccine for hepatitis B!
1996 data from VAERS shows 872 serious events in children under age
fourteen that received the hepatitis B vaccine. These children were either
taken to an emergency room, had life-threatening health problems, were
hospitalized, or were disabled following the vaccination. Of the 872
events, 214 had the hepatitis B vaccine alone while the rest had it in
combination with other vaccines. Of the 872 events, 48 kids died from the
vaccine reaction.
In 1996, only 279 cases of hepatitis B were reported in children under age
fourteen. None of them died.
So the current U.S. policy that requires every newborn to receive the
hepatitis B vaccine kills forty-eight kids and injures another 824, with
some of them permanently disabled. In those fortunate enough to escape
vaccination, only 279 got hepatitis and none of them died.
So why are we forcing all our newborns to be exposed to this risk of death
and disability with no benefit to anyone except Merck, which makes
almost $1 billion per year from these vaccines? Economics vs. Science?
This is an example of why we spend twice the amount per capita as any
other country in the world but still have the quality of health care on a par
with Cuba!
The FDA requires that every drug approved be tested against a placebo—
except for chemotherapy drugs. They will not allow chemotherapy drugs
to be tested against a placebo. I can find only one study in the Medline
database that compares chemotherapy with “supportive care.” That is a
Canadian study.
What you see is that the chemotherapy group lived an average of three
months longer than the supportive care group, but the price they paid was
that four of them died from bone marrow damage, forty percent had lung
damage, and twenty-one percent had serious lung damage. I don’t believe
many would consider living three months longer not being able to breathe
is a good trade-off along with being sick from the chemotherapy for the
seven months they lived. And this also ignores the cost of therapy.
Docetaxel Vs Supportive Rx
J Clin Oncol 2000; 18:2095-103
Docetaxel 7.5 months survival
Supportive Care 4.6 months survival
A recent Australian study also looked at the science of treating cancer with
chemotherapy:
If the mean time to death with chemotherapy drugs is 7.6 months and the
contribution of these drugs to survival is only 2.1 percent, why are we
forcing our population to have this horrible therapy? Economics vs.
Science?
Obesity
Our population is becoming more obese.
Obesity is defined as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 30. The
formula to calculate your BMI is
You can find BMI calculators on the web so you don’t have to do the
math.
This graph shows the percentage of people in each state that are obese vs.
the percentage of people in each state with fluoridated city water. In order
to compare them, we did a trend analysis on the fluoridation and got the
following graph:
Thus we can see that the states with the most fluoridation tend to have the
most obesity. Although not proof that fluoridation is causing our obesity
epidemic, I think you will be convinced after reading the chapter on
hypothyroidism.
Just recently on ABC News, they were discussing doing gastric bypass
surgery on obese children. Are we going to do gastric bypass surgery on
twenty-five percent of our population or simply take fluoride out of the
water, toothpaste, and dental offices? Economics vs. Science?
As you can see, this study found that almost seven people out of a hundred
who enter a hospital will have a serious drug reaction, and three out of a
thousand will die from a drug reaction!
Null, Gary, PhD; Dean, Carolyn, MD ND; Feldman, Martin, MD; Rasio,
Debora, MD; and Smith, Dorothy, PhD.
Null et al. added the hospital deaths to other drug-induced deaths and came
to the conclusion that iatrogenic (caused by doctors) deaths are the leading
cause of death in the U.S.
Our projected statistic of 7.8 million iatrogenic deaths is more than all the
casualties from wars that America has fought in its entire history.”
Thus if you add untoward hospital deaths to deaths from the side effects of
drugs, the leading cause of death in the United States is health care! The
approximately eight million Americans killed by health care is certainly
more than the approximately 1.25 million killed in all the wars Americans
have fought!
The table below shows the number of U.S. soldiers killed in battle
beginning with the Revolutionary War.
Revolutionary 4,435
War of 1812 2,260
Mexican 13,283
Civil War 823,028
Spanish-American 2,446
WW I 116,708
WW II 407,316
Korean 36,914
Vietnam 58,169
Persian Gulf 269
Iraq 4,232
Total 1,469,060
Drugs are approved as “Safe and Effective” when the FDA determines the
number of people who will die from the drug is acceptable “collateral
damage.” Patients (and often doctors) tend to believe that “Safe and
Effective” means just that in all patients. They ignore the “acceptable
collateral damage” implied by LD50/ED50 that tells us that all drugs will
kill or injure some of those who take them. Over time, the FDA seems to
have allowed more toxic drugs to be called “Safe and Effective.” Witness
what has happened with Neurontin, Vioxx, Bextra, Avandia, Baycol,
Propulsid, Posicor, Astemizole, Omniflox, Fen-Phen, and many OTC
drugs that were declared “safe and effective” and then had to be removed
from the market.
The diabetes drug Avandia increases the risk of fatal heart attack by sixty-
four percent. The FDA has recently ruled that this is acceptable collateral
damage and should remain on the market.
All chemicals (medicines) you put into your body have three effects:
1. Those you hope will happen.
2. Those you hope won’t happen.
3. Those you don’t know are happening.
The genes are covered with a protein sleeve. When the cell needs to make
new proteins, an electronic signal causes the protein drawer (sleeve
covering DNA) to open (move), revealing the necessary genes. The
“drawers” concealing the genes are called “regulatory proteins.”
The theory that genes control everything about us began to unravel with
the publication of “The Origin of Mutants” by John Cairns et al. They took
bacteria that lacked the gene to utilize lactose and placed them into an
environment where the only nutrient was lactose. They were surprised to
find that the bacteria lived instead of dying. This could only mean that the
bacteria changed their genetic structure so that they could use lactose!
“The Origin of Mutants,” Cairns, J., Overbaugh, J., and Miller, S.,
Nature (1988 Sep 8), 335 (6186): 142–5; Department Of Cancer
Biology, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts
Genome Project
One of the findings that is causing the genetic control myth to evaporate is
the Genome Project. This project was the mapping of the genes of the
human. It takes over 120,000 different proteins for the human body to
work. It is still being taught that there is a specific gene present to make
each protein. However, when the genes were all mapped, it was found that
the human only has about 25,000 genes! Oops! There is obviously
something wrong with the theory, isn’t there?
In 1957, Howard Temin won the Nobel Prize for showing that the genes in
DNA could be altered. RNA could go against the DNA/RNA concept and
rewrite the DNA. We now know that the flow should be in both directions
and is controlled by the environment:
Stem Cells
Primitive cells (totipotential cells, stem cells) have the entire genetic code
of the organism. As cells differentiate into specialized cells such as liver,
brain, heart, etc., the entire code is still present. However, the unused
codes are switched off. Under the right conditions, these codes are
switched back on, and the cell dedifferentiates back into a stem cell.
It has been found that the genes that we received from our parents can be
altered by our environment. The study of this phenomenon has come to be
called epigenetics. Not only can our genes change, these changes can be
passed on to the next generation.
We see that almost any of our cells can revert back to adult stem cells.
There is no need, and perhaps no advantage, in using embryonic stem
cells.
Evidence-based Medicine
Most doctors rely on “double-blind studies” published in peer-reviewed
journals for information about how to treat patients. Actually many doctors
rely on information from drug salespeople on how to treat patients.
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Evidence-based medicine is valuable to the
extent that the evidence base is complete and unbiased. Selective
publication of clinical trials—and the outcomes within those trials
—can lead to unrealistic estimates of drug effectiveness and alter
the apparent risk-benefit ratio.
Most doctors will say that they will not consider a treatment for their
patients unless it has been approved by the FDA and results of double-
blind, crossover studies have been published in peer reviewed journals.
What is clearly demonstrated by the article above is that what is published
in our journals is cherry-picked so that it appears that therapies work when
indeed the totality of studies show just the opposite. This modification of
the truth by drug companies and medical journals is criminal! The
paradigm that doctors so fervently believe regarding published studies is
like believing in the tooth fairy! This becomes even worse when you
understand that many of the published studies were never even done!
Abstract:
CONTEXT: Authorship in biomedical publication provides
recognition and establishes accountability and responsibility.
Recent litigation related to rofecoxib (Vioxx) provided a unique
opportunity to examine guest authorship and ghostwriting,
practices that have been suspected in biomedical publication but
for which there is little documentation.
This report shows that Merck, the manufacturer of Vioxx, had its
marketing department write up studies to show the safety of Vioxx. They
then paid professors of medicine to say that they did the study when, in
reality, no study was ever done. The professors names were placed on the
study and it was submitted to journals and the FDA as if the study actually
happened. It was all fraudulent and criminal. It resulted in the death of at
least one hundred thousand Americans and many more in other countries.
Merck paid a small fine in relation to the amount of money they made on
the drug. I have not read that anyone went to jail.
If six out of one hundred get a disease and die, the AR is 6/100 or 0.06 or 6
percent.
ARR compares the number of people who will benefit from intervention to
the total number of people being considered.
Relative risks are based on the ratio of two absolute risk numbers. When
using relative risks, the absolute risk levels for the experimental and
control groups are not known. If taking a new drug reduces the number of
disease deaths from six out of one hundred (6%) to four out of one
hundred (4%), then the relative risk difference is thirty-three percent,
because four percent is thirty-three percent less than six percent. The
absolute risk difference is two percent (6% - 4%). However, thirty-three
percent sounds much better than two percent.
This is a significant problem in that almost all medical studies are now
reported with relative risk instead of absolute risk. This sleight-of-hand
reporting is the primary way that physicians are tricked into believing that
drugs work.
This graph is from the MRFIT Study and shows deaths vs. cholesterol
levels. It assumes a current benchmark of 200 mg/100 ml.
“Is Relationship Between Serum Cholesterol and Risk of Premature Death
From Coronary Heart Disease Continuous and Graded? Findings in
356,222 Primary Screenees of the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial
(MRFIT),” Stamler J., Wentworth, D., and Neaton, J.D., JAMA (1986 Nov
28), 256(20): 28238 ISSN: 0098-7484
Out of two thousand people with cholesterol over 200 mg/100 ml, there
will be one additional death each year from CHD as compared to two
thousand people with normal cholesterol. This means that 99.95 percent of
the population would not benefit from efforts (diet and/or drugs) to reduce
blood serum cholesterol levels.
The graph above is the same data as above except the data line has been
trended and the y-axis extended to make it more obvious visually how
little difference cholesterol makes in deaths per thousand.
To put it another way, for 1,999 out of 2,000 individuals each year, it
makes no difference whether they have elevated cholesterol or normal
cholesterol in terms of whether or not they develop coronary heart
disease!
I will discuss this in greater detail in the chapter on heart disease. It is clear
that it doesn’t make much sense to focus so much time and energy and
money on the subject of cholesterol. Despite the science, the politics of
medicine says that doctors should lose their license if they don’t put
patients with “elevated” cholesterol on statin drugs. The American Heart
Association states that you are at high risk of coronary heart disease if
your cholesterol level is above 240. However, the study showed that the
cholesterol of 240 is only 0.5 percent more likely to have a heart attack
than those with the cholesterol of 200. Economics vs. Science at work
again!
Current guidelines suggest that anyone with a cholesterol level over 180
should be put on statin drugs. If you have a heart attack, you are put on
statins no matter how low your cholesterol already is.
Statin drugs cost between $900 and $1,400 per year per person. This
means that we waste about 12.5 billion dollars per year in therapies that
are not supported by science for cholesterol treatment alone. Now expand
this into all areas of medicine. It then becomes easy to see why Americans
spend more money on health care than anyone in the world and yet have
outcomes equivalent to Third World countries.
Most physicians operate as if the body works like a clock. If a clock stops
working, you take it apart to find the broken gear. You then replace that
gear with a new one and the clock will work again. This concept is called
reductionism and is a part of what is called Newtonian physics (after the
theories of Isaac Newton).
The mathematics of reductionism is, at its most basic, the use of fractions,
which holds that dividing and multiplying are opposites. The statement
“four divided by two equals two” is the idea that dividing the system into
two parts and then putting them back together restores the original system.
Simply put, reductionism is the idea that if you take a ten-pound bag of
flour and put five pounds in one bucket, three pounds in another, and two
pounds in another, you have ten pounds. Then if you put it all back into a
sack, you will have the same ten pounds.
Later when people began to consider atoms instead, Newton’s laws didn’t
work. Newton’s laws work for large objects but don’t work for atoms or
the human body while it lives.
Atoms
(A short history of the knowledge of the atom)
Compiled by Jim Walker
The following history of the theories of atoms is reprinted here with the
permission of Jim Walker, http://www.nobeliefs.com/atom.htm. I have
taken the liberty of recreating some of the graphics since the copies from
the website do not reproduce well. For Dr. Walker’s original graphics,
please see his website.
The history of the study of the atomic nature of matter illustrates the
thinking process that goes on in the philosophers’ and scientists’ heads.
The models they use do not provide an absolute understanding of the atom
but only a way of abstracting so that they can make useful predictions
about them. The epistemological methods that scientists use provide us
with the best known way of arriving at useful science and factual
knowledge. No other method has yet proven as successful.
In the beginning
Actually, the thought about electricity came before atoms. In about 600
B.C. Thales of Miletus discovered that a piece of amber, after rubbing it
with fur, attracted bits of hair and feathers and other light objects. He
suggested that this mysterious force came from the amber. Thales,
however, did not connect this force with any atomic particle.
Not until around 460 B.C. did a Greek philosopher, Democritus, develop
the idea of atoms. He asked this question: If you break a piece of matter in
half, and then break it in half again, how many breaks will you have to
make before you can break it no further? Democritus thought that it ended
at some point, a smallest possible bit of matter. He called these basic
matter particles “atoms.”
For more than 2,000 years nobody did anything to continue the
explorations that the Greeks had started into the nature of matter. Not
until the early 1800s did people begin again to question the structure of
matter.
Physicists at the time thought that light consisted of waves but, according
to Albert Einstein, the quanta behaved like discrete particles. Physicists
call Einstein’s discrete light particle a “photon.”*
Atoms not only emit photons, but they can also absorb them. In 1905,
Albert Einstein wrote a ground-breaking paper that explained that light
absorption can release electrons from atoms, a phenomenon called the
“photoelectric effect.” Einstein received his only Nobel Prize for physics
in 1921 for his work on the photoelectric effect.
Other particles discovered around this time were called alpha rays. These
particles had a positive charge and physicists thought that they consisted
of the positive parts of the Thompson atom (now known as the nucleus of
atoms).
Rutherford’s Atom
Bohr said, “Here’s some rules that seem impossible, but they describe the
way atoms operate, so let’s pretend they’re correct and use them.” Bohr
came up with two rules that agreed with his experiments:
RULE 1: Electrons can orbit only at certain allowed distances from the
nucleus.
RULE 2: Atoms radiate energy when an electron jumps from a higher-
energy orbit to a lower-energy orbit. Also, an atom absorbs energy when
an electron gets boosted from a low-energy orbit to as high-energy orbit.
By the 1920s, further experiments showed that Bohr’s model of the atom
had some troubles. Bohr’s atom seemed too simple to describe the heavier
elements. In fact it only worked roughly in these cases. The spectral lines
did not appear correct when a strong magnetic field influenced the atoms.
The conditions of the state of the orbit got assigned quantum numbers. The
three states discussed so far consist of: orbit number (n), orbit shape (l)
and orbit tilt (m).
Pauli gave a rule governing the behavior of electrons within the atom that
agreed with experiments. If an electron has a certain set of quantum
numbers, then no other electron in that atom can have the same set of
quantum numbers. Physicists call this “Pauli’s Exclusion Principle.” It
provides an important principle to this day and has even outlived the
Bohr-Sommerfeld model that Pauli designed it for.
In 1926, German physicist Max Born had an idea about “psi.” Born
thought they resembled waves of chance. These ripples moved along waves
of chance, made up of places where particles may occur and places where
no particles occurred. The waves of chance ripple around in circles when
the particle appears like an electron in an atomic orbit, and they ripple
back and forth when the electron orbit goes straight through the nucleus,
and they ripple along in straight lines when a free particle moves through
interatomic space. You can think of them as waves when traveling through
space and as particles whenever they travel in circles.
However, they cannot exist as both waves and particles at the same time.
Although the mathematical concept of the atom got better, the visual
concept of the atom got worse. Regardless, even simplistic visual models
can still prove useful. Chemists usually describe the atom as a simple solar
system model similar to Bohr’s model but without the different orbit
shapes. The important emphasis for chemistry attempts to show the
groupings of electrons in orbital shells.
Not until 1932 did the English physicist James Chadwick finally discover
the neutron. He found it to measure slightly heavier than the proton with a
mass of 1,840 electrons and with no charge (neutral). The proton-neutron
together received the name “nucleon.”
Isotopes of Hydrogen
Although scientists knew that atoms of a particular element have the same
number of protons, they discovered that some of these atoms have slightly
different masses. They concluded that the variations in mass result, more
or less, from the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. Atoms of
an element having the same atomic number but different atomic masses
are called “isotopes” of that element.
Antimatter
There exists not only anti-electrons, but in 1955, physicists found the anti-
proto, and later the anti-neutron. This allows the existence for anti-atoms,
a true form of antimatter.
When scientists found out about the atomic nucleus, they questioned why
the positively charged protons should remain so close without repelling.
The scientists realized that there must exist new forces at work and the
secrets must lie within the nucleus. They knew that the force which holds
the protons together must occur much stronger than the electromagnetic
force and that the force must act over very small distances (otherwise they
would have noticed this force in interactions between the nucleus and the
outer electrons).
In 1932, Werner Heisenberg concluded that charged particles bounce
photons of light back and forth between them. This exchange of photons
provides a way for the electromagnetic forces to act between the particles.
The theory says that a proton shoots a photon at the electron, and the
electron shoots a photon back at the proton. These photon exchanges go
on all the time, very rapidly. However, because no one can see them
(measure them), Heisenberg called these exchange particles “virtual
photons” (virtual meaning not exactly “real”).
Although the pions describe the transmitters of the strong force, they do
not get classed with the other force-transmitting particles, such as the
photon or the W and Z particles. Pions now appear not as elementary
particles but rather composites made up of “quarks.” The strong force
gets transmitted by the pions only at relatively larger nuclear levels.
Physicists presently think that all the forces in the universe get carried by
some kind of quantum particle. This theory started in 1928 with Paul
Dirac stating that photons transmit the electromagnetic force. The theory
called “quantum electrodynamics,” or QED, developed from work by
Richard Feynman, Julian Schwinger, and Sin-Itiro in the late 1940s.
From the time of the ancient Greeks until today, the visual concept of the
atom has proved elusive and obscure, yet the mathematical concepts have
grown stronger. Although nothing has yet proven absolute, humans can
now predict the behavior of atoms with great accuracy. But the world of
the atom, the quanta of particles, appears so strange that we can no longer
visualize what we think and talk about. The particles have a quality of
complete random existence and non-existence about them; and yet the
methods of quantum electrodynamics (QED), quantum chromodynamics
(QCD), and the whole of quantum mechanics provide such precise, useful,
and powerful tools that it encompasses all of the classical physical laws.
In 1897, J.J. Thomson stated that atoms have a negative charge and there
must therefore also be a positive particle. His model was like raisins in
pudding.
In the early part of the twentieth century, scientists finally derived a model
of the atom. In this model, an atom was supposed to consist of various
protons, neutrons, and electrons. The atom had a nucleus of heavy
particles, and these were either protons or a combination of protons and
neutrons. Orbiting around the nucleus were electrons that were much
smaller than either protons or neutrons (approximately 1,800 times
smaller). Each proton was considered to have a fixed electric charge of +1,
the neutron had no charge, and the electron had a fixed electrical charge of
−1. Units of the charge didn’t matter for this explanation. The idea was
that all stable atoms had to be electrically neutral overall.
Each different type of atom was one distinct element on the chemical
periodic table. So the simplest atom, which consisted of just one proton
and one electron and usually no neutrons, was hydrogen. The next one,
helium, had two protons, two neutrons, and two electrons, the second
element in the periodic table, and so on.
Photoelectric Effect
Atoms not only emit photons, but they can also absorb them. In 1905,
Albert Einstein wrote a ground-breaking paper that explained that light
absorption can release electrons from atoms, a phenomenon called the
“photoelectric effect.” Einstein received his only Nobel Prize for physics
in 1921 for his work on the photoelectric effect.
If you heat up atoms of any particular element, they will start to emit light,
and the light has specific colors. Sodium would give intense yellow,
strontium would give bright red, and copper would give blue-green, and so
on. Some property of the atom somehow makes these colors.
A Dutch scientist named Niels Bohr worked out that the electron was
rather like a ball tied to a string that was whirled around the atom. It was
easy to see that the string was in fact the electrical force
between the positive proton and the negative electron. But
Bohr had a problem. For many years scientists have
known that if you accelerated a charged object, the object
would start to emit radiation. He suddenly realized that his
electron whirling around the atom was a charged particle,
and that it was accelerating. Yet if the atoms were
consistently emitting radiation they would constantly lose
energy. The only place that energy could come from was
within the matter of the atom itself. If this were true, all atoms would get
lighter and eventually fade away.
Bohr proposed that maybe there were special fixed energy states in an
atom (remember that these energy states are just different orbits of
electrons) and that as long as the electron was only in one of these special
orbits it would not emit radiation. Scientists found that electrons usually
behave like small charged particles of matter. But in some cases they
found electrons could also behave like waves! This was very confusing. It
was impossible to determine if the electron was a particle or a wave, and to
explain the results they had, it had to be both at the same time.
They discovered this was true of all subatomic particles, and it was equally
valid to think of them as either particles or waves. Equations were worked
out that let the scientists calculate the wavelength of particles. For the
electron this became known as its “Compton wavelength.” The
wave/particle duality was described by de Broglie.
Bohr knew about this, and it gave him another clue. If the electron was a
wave instead of a particle, he figured that any orbit around any atom must
have a total circumference that was exactly equal to a whole number of
wavelengths of the Compton wavelength of the electron. The theory was
that an electron could only exist in one of a specific number of fixed
energy levels (for example orbits that Bohr had calculated to be exact
electron wavelength multiples). If that were true, then adding energy to an
electron would not cause it to change its orbit unless the amount of energy
was exactly the amount needed to move the electron from one permitted
orbit to another permitted orbit.
The most important departure from conventional physics was this idea that
only certain energy states were permissible. It implied that at the atomic
level, all energy interacted in steps, not continuous amounts. These
discrete steps were given a name. They were called “quanta.” The whole
theory that energy was always stepped became known as “quantum
theory.”
However, there was a problem! When Bohr tried to work out the energy
levels of the second simplest atom, helium, he got stuck. Because helium
has two electrons, not one (and two protons and two neutrons), the
calculation not only had to work out the permitted energy levels of the two
electrons, it had to take into account interactions between the electrons
themselves. If he assumed the energy level of one electron to be fixed,
then it would alter the energy level of the second electron. And the
moment that the energy of the second electron changed, it would affect the
energy level of the first electron, and so on. So it was impossible to solve!
The problem only got worse with all the higher elements.
There are two important things to remember from all the above:
The science of playing about with quantum functions later became broadly
known as quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is based on clever
mathematical manipulations of things like the Schrödinger Equation. If
anyone could solve the Schrödinger Equation exactly, the mathematics
would actually be easier. Because it can’t be solved, mathematicians have
to resort to all kinds of complicated tricks to do anything useful with it all.
The equations are so complicated that they usually have more than one
answer even for the probability! So in quantum mechanics you often get a
ridiculous situation where two absolutely contradictory things are both
probably equally true at the same time! The first rule of quantum
mechanics is that anything is possible and true but some things are more
probable than others. The second rule of quantum mechanics is that it is
impossible to solve anything exactly or prove anything with absolute
certainty.
Be cautious when someone tells you that a device works with quantum
physics. That can be true, but it can also be a means to confuse the
unknowledgeable about the relationship of quantum mechanics in the
human body.
Remember that Newton’s laws apply to the things you can see but don’t
work well for small things. Quantum physics laws apply to small things
you can’t see, like atoms. The energy exchange between atoms occurs
before chemical reactions occur.
Physicists take a position that is unique in science. They can’t figure out if
an electron is a wave or matter, so they decided they would claim
whichever one is needed at any moment to support the theory they are
using! This clearly suggests that the basic theory is wrong when you have
to change the rules to make sense of your experiment.
More recently a point light source illuminates a thin plate with two
parallel slits, and the light passing through the slits strikes a screen
behind them. The beams emerging from the two slits are coherent,
in phase, as they are derived from the same source. The wave
nature of light causes the coherent light waves passing through the
two slits to interfere, creating a pattern of bright and dark bands on
the screen. (However, at the screen the light is always found to be
absorbed as though it were composed of discrete particles,
photons.) – Wikipedia
This is a theory modified from the ideas of Robert James. James described
his theories to me by drawing a vertical line where the vortices intersect.
He did not have a description of what he thought this line was in our
discussions. It occurred to me that the line he suggested was indeed acting
as a capacitor and represented matter. However, his theories of vortices
suggested a logical explanation of why clouds levitate, etc.
To understand this theory and the following one, you must understand
fractals and holograms.
Fractals
Cats, canaries, or kangaroos are similar if they are alike in some way. In
geometry, though, self-similar means something very specific. Geometric
figures are similar if they have the same shape. I don’t mean two
rectangles or two triangles, but really the same shape.
http://math.rice.edu/~lanius/fractals/
The Fibonacci number set starts by taking the numbers zero and one and
adding successive numbers. So 0 + 1 = 1. Now add the last two numbers: 1
+ 1 = 2. Then 2 + 1 = 3. Then 3 + 2 = 5. Then 5 + 3 = 8. Then 8 + 5 = 13.
Keep adding the last two numbers of the sequences.
Now divide each number by the previous number. You will get 1.618 each
time.
Everything that is alive has this ratio. If you measure a leaf that is inserted
inside a box, the length will be 1.618 times the width. The first branch of a
tree exits the trunk 1.618 times the diameter of the trunk.
If you look at your hand, the second bone in your finger is 1.618 times the
length of the bone at the end of your finger. The next bone is 1.618 times
the length of the middle bone, etc. This is called the Golden Ratio or the
Golden Mean.
Holograms
To review, if you shine a regular light onto an object, such as a person, and
the light is reflected onto film, you get a photo. If you tear the photo in
half, you can only see half the person.
If you shine a laser (one frequency) light onto a person and it reflects onto
the film while at the same time you shine the same light onto the film, the
two beams will interfere with each other in front of the film. This process
contains the entire three-dimensional information of the person.
Now remove the person and simply shine the same frequency of light onto
the film and you will see a three-dimensional image of the person. Now if
you tear that photo in half, you still see the whole person, just smaller. If
you keep tearing pieces off the hologram photo, you continue to see the
whole person in smaller and smaller images. Thus the hologram is fractal.
Wherever waves meet they interfere with each other. Charge waves in a
pine cone, your heart, your pineal gland, or the earth and you make
gravity.
Waves always spin in such a way that when they reach the other side of
the donut, they don’t cancel out. This is called symmetry. Think of a slinky
in a coil where the ends of the slinky are touching. The circular wires of
the slinky are the waves. The donut created by the circular slinky creates
an implosion of energy into the center of the donut.
The implosion from the top and bottom of the donut creates a tornado with
the wide part at the outside of the donut hole and the pointed part at the
center of the donut hole. As the wave becomes a donut its movement
creates a centripetal force to the donut hole. This creates a “tornado” from
the top and another from the bottom. These are “electrons.” The pointed
portions of each tornado touch each other nose-to-nose in the center of the
donut hole. The only shape that allows the donut to be stable is the
“Golden Mean.”
The most stable form is when multiple donuts combine to form atoms. The
forms that allow for stability are called platonic solids. A platonic solid is
a 3D shape where each face is the same regular polygon and the same
number of polygons meet at each vertex (corner). There are only five
platonic solids:
The nucleus of each atom is self-similar to the electron vortices making
each atom a fractal hologram in the shape of a platonic solid. The details
of this theory are beyond the scope of this book as well as beyond my
understanding. You can read more about it at
http://goldenmean.info/creation
3 Healing is Voltage
You will recall that I began my journey toward getting well by recognizing
that cells are designed to run between a pH of 7.35 and 7.45. I also began
my journey with the idea that if I could figure out how to make one cell
work I could make them all work.
The following chart shows the requirements for a cell to work properly.
I want to focus on the importance of pH. When I was trying to figure out
how to get well, I couldn’t remember a lot about pH. I remembered that it
was something about acid/base balance but I knew little more than that. So
I began to read about pH. What I discovered is that pH (shorthand for
“potential hydrogen”) is really a measurement of voltage.
After measuring the voltage of the solution, one can convert that to a
logarithmic scale called pH. A voltage of +400 mV is the same as a pH of
zero. A voltage of −400 mV is the same as a pH of 14. A solution that is
neither an electron donor nor electron stealer is called a pH of seven.
With this understanding, one can see that a pH of 7.35 is the same as a
voltage of −20 mV. A pH of 7.45 is the same as a voltage of −25 mV.
Thus we see that all cellular biology texts tell us that cells are designed to
run between −20 and −25 millivolts of electron donor status!
You will hear statements such as “all disease occurs when you are acidic.”
What this is really saying is that all disease occurs when your voltage is
low or in an electronic stealer state.
You will hear statements such as “alkalize or die.” What this means is that
you must have electrons available to do work or your cells will die.
We maintain our health and heal primarily by making new cells. To make
a new cell requires a voltage of −50 mV.
Salivary and urinary pH are about 0.8 pH units less than cell pH. Salivary
pH is a rough indicator of cellular voltage. Urinary pH is a rough indicator
of the voltage in the fluids around cells. When normal, both should be 6.5.
If you add 0.8 to 6.5, you get a pH of 7.3. This equates to −20 millivolts.
Thus we see that chronic disease is always defined by having low voltage.
One cannot cure chronic disease without inserting enough electrons to
achieve −50 mV. One must also have the raw materials necessary to make
new cells and to eliminate the toxins or infections present that will damage
the new cells. You can take all of the medications you like and do as much
surgery as you like, but you will not heal unless you have −50 mV, raw
materials, and lack of toxins.
Without the ability to achieve −50 mV and the necessary raw materials to
make new cells, you cannot maintain your health, and you will suffer aging
and chronic disease. You also are unable to repair injuries, so they can
also lead to chronic disease. You don’t need drugs to heal. You need to
make new cells that work to heal. To make good cells, you need voltage
and a good diet. You also need to remove toxins from your body that
damage cells and make you obese.
Once you begin to understand that chronic disease and healing are
controlled by voltage, you must ask the following questions:
Several bad things happen when voltage drops. The obvious one is that
organs simply don’t have enough horsepower to do their job. Another is
that they don’t have the energy to get rid of toxic waste, which begins to
accumulate.
Remember that at -50 mV, there is a pulsing pain. When you have low
voltage, it simply hurts all the time. Thus pain is simply a symptom of
abnormal voltage. You correct it by correcting the voltage.
If you put a tube into a glass of water and began bubbling oxygen into the
water, the amount of oxygen that will dissolve in the water is dictated by
the voltage of the water. As voltage is raised, more oxygen will dissolve in
water. However, as voltage drops, oxygen comes out of solution and
leaves the water.
Our cells are seventy percent water. Thus as voltage begins to drop in us,
oxygen leaves the cells. This has serious consequences.
Our cells contain a process for turning fatty acids into glucose. They are
processed through a series of chemical reactions called the Krebs cycle.
The end result is a rechargeable battery called ATP. As ATP provides
electrons to keep the cell functioning, it becomes a discharged,
rechargeable battery called ADP.
When oxygen is available, for every unit of fatty acids run through the
Krebs cycle, we create thirty-eight molecules of ATP. However, if oxygen
is unavailable, only two molecules of ATP are created for every unit of
fatty acids. Thus as voltage drops and oxygen levels drop, our metabolism
goes from “thirty-eight miles per gallon to two miles per gallon.” Thus it is
very difficult for cells to have enough energy to function with such
inefficient metabolism.
Since these bugs don’t have teeth, they must put out digestive enzymes to
dissolve you so that they can acquire the nutrients from the cells.
One of the problems has to do with these digestive enzymes. Let’s assume
that you have a Streptococcus bacteria having lunch on your tonsil. You,
of course, recognize this as a sore, painful throat. We all know, however,
that the digestive enzymes produced by these Streptococcus bacteria can
enter our bloodstream and cause damage to our heart valves. They can also
damage our joints.
The same process can happen anywhere in the body. Let’s assume you
have low voltage in your gallbladder. This means that your gallbladder
will hurt, have decreased oxygen and inefficient metabolism, and have
bugs having lunch on the gallbladder. The toxins produced by these bugs
can enter the bloodstream and cause brain damage. You may have
infections in your large intestine, in your sinuses, or other places causing
damage an autoimmune problem. However, it is simply bugs having lunch
because your voltage and thus your oxygen levels are low.
This process continues when any two living things touch. For example, if I
hold a dog or cat and I am lower voltage than the dog or cat, the animal
will donate electrons to me. Then it will run outside, recharge itself, and
bring me some more voltage. If I lean against a tree, the tree will donate
voltage to me.
If you take a voltmeter that measures in millivolts and hold it in the air
inside your home, you will measure a small amount of voltage. Now take
it outside. You will find there is much more voltage out in the sun.
If you take a quartz crystal and squeeze it with a pair of pliers, it will emit
electrons. This is called the piezoelectric effect. Our muscles are
piezoelectric crystals. Thus when we exercise, our muscles create
electrons. The muscles are also rechargeable batteries. Thus the movement
of our muscles re-charges our muscle batteries. Exercise is a major way
the body acquires electrons.
There is a pump within the skull and down the spine called the
craniosacral pump. Each time this pump activates, it sends a surge of
electrons through the body.
Thus you can see that the human is designed to get voltage primarily the
way our grandparents got it. They worked out in the sun, drank water from
a well, ate unprocessed foods, weren’t afraid to touch the earth with their
hands or feet, hugged their family, leaned against a tree or stood in moving
water while they were fishing, and weren’t afraid to stand in the rain.

Liquid Crystals
Dr. Bruce Lipton recently discovered that the cell membrane also serves as
a liquid crystal. The molecules in solid things stay in one location. An
example of a solid is a crystal. However, in liquids, the molecules move
about. In some substances called liquid crystals, the molecules can move
about but act like solids. This means that liquid crystals are neither a solid
nor a liquid. Thus the name seems strange in that we are calling a solid a
liquid when we say “liquid crystal.” We are basically saying “liquid solid.”
Liquid crystals are influenced by electric current and/or temperature.
Certain liquid crystals have elements that are twisted. When one applies
electricity to these liquid crystals, they begin to unwind. One can use this
characteristic to use them to either block the passage of light through them
or allow the light to pass This depends upon whether the elements are
twisted or untwisted.
The phospholipids that make up a cell membrane have legs that can twist
or untwist to permit light or water or other molecules to be blocked or pass
through the cell membrane. They open and close depending upon the
voltage applied.
Semiconductors
The elements carbon, silicon, and germanium are called semiconductors.
Each has four electrons in their outer shell. This allows each atom to attach
the four other atoms in a nice crystalline structure called a lattice. The
carbon lattice is called a diamond.
As you can see in the graphic of a portion of the periodic table, carbon,
silicon, and germanium are in a column. The column next to them has
nitrogen, phosphorous, and arsenic. To the left, the column contains boron,
aluminum, and gallium.
Arsenic and phosphorous each has five outer shell electrons. When you
place one of them into a lattice of carbon, silicon, or germanium (each of
them has four electrons), there is an extra electron per set of four atoms.
This extra electron can move from place to place turning the insulating
crystal into a “semiconductor” that allows some electric current to flow
through it. Since this semiconductor has a negative charge, it is called an
“N-type.” If you add boron or gallium to a crystal of carbon, silicon, or
germanium, you have a different kind of semiconductor.
Since boron and gallium each have only three electrons in the outer shell,
binding them to carbon, silicon, or gallium (each has four electrons)
creates a hole in the latticework. This hole searches for electrons and
accepts electrons that wander by. This creates a positive charged
semiconductor called a P-type semiconductor.
Diodes
When you place a negative and a positive semiconductor against each
other, you have what is called a diode. What is unique about a diode is that
it allows electric current to flow in one direction but not the other. It is a
one-way street for electric current whereas conductors like copper allow
the electric current to flow in either direction.
When you use a voltage source like a battery, as seen in the left part of the
graphic, the plus part of the battery attracts and hold the electrons from the
negative N-type semiconductor, and the minus pole of the battery attracts
and holds the holes in the positive P-type semiconductor. The result is that
no current flows through the semiconductors.
If you change the battery to the configuration you see in the right side of
the graphic, electrons flow from the battery into the N-type semiconductor
and then into the holes of the P-type semiconductor with the net effect that
current flows through the diode.
Transistors
If you use three elements instead of two, you have a transistor. You can
use two N-types with a P-type in the middle or two P-types with an N-type
in the middle. The most commonly used type is two N-types and one P-
type as it is easiest to use this format in a silicon sheet to make a chip.
RC circuits work much like your checking account and savings account. In
the photo, assume cash is coming into the top of the circuit and that the
resistor is your checkbook and the capacitor is your savings account. As
the cash comes in, it flows through your checking account to pay your
bills. Any cash left over is transferred into your savings account. During
months in which there isn’t enough cash coming in to pay your bills, you
take some out of savings and transfer it into your checking account to keep
things going. So it is with an RC circuit. Electrons come into the circuit
and flow through the resistor (peripheral cytoskeleton of the cell) to keep
energy flowing into the cell so it can do its work.
Thus to hear all the radio stations in your area, you would need a separate
wire for each station to match the wire lengths and wavelengths. However,
if you attach your wire to the series coil above and make the capacitor
variable in power, it changes the effective length of the wire. That is the
tuning knob on your radio. In the body, extracellular fluid (impedance) and
organs (capacitance) are wired in series as a series-tuned circuit.
We now see that the cell membrane is the brain of the cell. It is a
capacitor that stores voltage for the cell to use. It is a microprocessor that
controls the functions of the cell by interacting with the environment
around the cell. It is a liquid crystal that can open and close to allow things
to enter the cell or keep them out and also allow things to exit the cell or
keep them in. It is part of a Tesla resonating circuit that allows it to
communicate with other cells.
Remember that cells also replace themselves frequently. If you don’t give
the cell new building materials, including adequate amounts of good fat, it
will have to make a new cell with materials from the worn-out cell it is
replacing. Building new things using worn-out parts creates a new thing
that doesn’t work much better than the old one did.
As you can see, cell membranes must be made with good phospholipids
(fats) for them to work. Making them with plastic fats prevents the process
from working correctly. Since all of the brain and nervous system, the
liver, and every cell membrane are made of fat, you must eat lots of good
fat to keep making good cells. A normal person is about twenty to twenty-
five percent fat. That means you need to eat about twenty to twenty-five
percent of your normal body weight in fat every eight months because
your body completely replaces itself every eight months.
Next, food manufacturers found that if they cook fats at about 350 degrees
for about five hours, the fats turned into something similar to plastic. Fats
processed in this way are called “partially hydrogenated fats” or “trans
fats” or “plastic fats.” If you look in your pantry, you will find that about
forty percent of what is there contains partially hydrogenated fats. When
you eat these plastic fats, your cell membranes become made of plastic.
Cell membranes made of plastic won’t hold voltage. Without voltage, your
cells can’t work.
Think of a cell with a plastic membrane. It is like
wrapping the cell in cellophane. The cell sends
out signals that it is hungry. In response, the body
sends glucose and insulin to the cell. However,
they can’t get through the plastic membrane. The
cell continues to signal that it is hungry and the
body continues to send insulin and glucose. Soon
the cell is surrounded by insulin and glucose, but
the cell is still hungry. This is known as insulin
resistance and type II diabetes. The cell
membrane becomes so saturated with glucose
that it begins to off-load it into fat cells. Thus people who continue to eat
plastic fats get fatter and fatter.
Guess what happens to a brain made of plastic? It doesn’t work well and
then becomes prone to depression, chronic fatigue, attention deficient,
brain fog, etc.
Guess what happens to a liver that is made of plastic? It can’t clean toxins
out of your system and the toxins build up, causing things like
fibromyalgia. Without a functional liver, your immune system fails and
you get all sorts of chronic infections.
Another type of toxic fat is canola oil. Here is a summary of a few facts
regarding canola oil:
Here is a review article about canola oil (rapeseed oil) and its toxic effects
from a Swedish medical journal:
What this study showed was that eating rapeseed oil (canola oil) causes the
following damage:
1. Growth retardation
2. Damage to heart muscle
3. Lowered lung capacity
4. Lowered tolerance to cold temperatures
Generally rapeseed has a cumulative effect, taking almost ten years before
symptoms begin to manifest. It has a tendency to inhibit proper
metabolism of foods and prohibits normal enzyme function. Canola is four
percent trans fatty acid, which has shown to have a direct link to cancer.
These trans fatty acids are labeled as hydrogenated or partially
hydrogenated oils. Avoid all of them!
Published Abstract:
A simple method for improving the nutritive quality of canola and
high glucosinolate rapeseed meals for monogastric animals
(chicks) was developed; the meals were mixed with NaHCO3 and
NH4HCO3 then heated in a conventional oven. Chicks fed
untreated canola or rapeseed meals gained less weight than those
fed a soybean meal diet, whereas chicks fed the alkaline heated
meals had weight gains not significantly different than those fed
the soybean diet.
Liver tissue from most of the chicks in all dietary groups appeared
normal or only slightly abnormal. The nutritive value of both
rapeseed and canola meals was improved by this simple
processing technique.
This study shows that eating canola oil depressed weight gain in the
young, depressed thyroid function, and damaged heart muscle.
Published Abstract:
Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of feeding
canola meal (Brassica campestris and Brassica napus) on the rat
hepatic glutathione detoxification system and whether dietary
cysteine supplements might modify such effects. Rats were fed
test diets for 14 d. Body weight change, feed consumption, hepatic
glutathione concentration, and hepatic glutathione-Stransferase
(GSHST) activities were determined. Weight gain was decreased
when canola meal was fed, whereas hepatic glutathione
concentrations increased, as did hepatic GSH-S-T activity. All
effects correlated with total glucosinolate concentration in the
canola meal.
This study shows that eating canola oil causes liver damage. It prevents the
liver from detoxifying harmful things from the body.
Published Abstract:
We studied the myocardium of 45 aged rats fed from 21 days after
birth until 15 months of age with a standard rat diet (A) a
cholesterol- rich diet (CHO) or canola oil (O). We analyzed the
cardiac weight (CW) and, using unbiased stereological estimates,
studied isotropic, uniform, random sections of the free left
ventricular wall to determine the numerical density of the
myocytes (NV[myocyte]). The CW was not statistically different
between groups A and CHO: it was smallest in animals in group O
(21.2% smaller in group O than in group A and 15.3% smaller in
group O than in group CHO).
This study compared the size of hearts in rats fed one of three diets, a
standard rat diet, a diet high in cholesterol, and a diet high in canola oil.
Those fed the canola oil had the smallest hearts, supporting the previous
study showing that canola oil damages heart muscles.
To digest fat, you must have bile. The liver normally makes one and one-
half quarts of bile per day. Because it makes so much, it needs a storage
tank. That is the function of the gall bladder.
When you eat a fatty meal, the gall bladder must empty bile into the
intestine to digest it. If you don’t have enough bile, eating fat makes you
nauseated. If your liver can’t work well because it is made of plastic or is
full of toxins, it can’t make enough bile. If you have a gall bladder that is
full of muddy debris because it rarely gets emptied or if your gall bladder
is missing, you will not have enough bile to digest the fats you eat.
As you can see, this becomes a vicious cycle. You can’t repair your liver
without eating and absorbing enough fat (about 0.1 to 0.2 pounds per day).
You can’t eat enough fat if you don’t have enough bile because a lack of
bile means you will be nauseated when you try to eat fat, and even if you
keep it down, you can’t absorb it.
ATP/ADP
We have been discussing the storage of electrons by the cells. We have
discussed how cell membranes are primary capacitors to store electrons for
use by the cells. This voltage is used primarily to control the electronic
circuitry of the cell membrane since it functions as a semi-conductor, a
diode, a transistor, and a microprocessor.
The human body has two wiring systems. Both are made of fibrous tissue.
One is the fibrous encasement of nerves that Robert Becker named the
analog perineural nervous system. The other is the acupuncture system.
Analog Perineural Nervous System
Robert Becker was an orthopedic surgeon. His classic
book, The Body Electric, is a must-read for everyone
interested in healing. He became interested in the fact
that if a human loses a piece of bone, his body will
make more bone. If you lose a piece of any other tissue,
it is replaced by scar tissue. In the human, it was
believed that only bone is capable of regeneration. We
now know that all tissue can regenerate with the proper
conditions.
As soon as the NEJ forms, the reversed polarity changes normal cells to
adult stem cells, a process that was named “blastema” by Thomas Hunt
Morgan. This mass of primitive cells that appears between the cut end of
the stump and the NEJ (blastema or stem cells) are primitive cells from
bone, muscle, etc. that have dedifferentiated back to the embryonic state.
As soon as they form, the voltage goes to −30 mV (electron donor).
Becker found that if he removed and re-implanted the blastema before ten
days, it grew a duplicate of the organ it was near. For example, if he
amputated an arm, made a slit near the salamander’s tail and implanted it,
a new second tail would grow. If he implanted it near the hind leg, the
salamander would grow a second hind leg.
Becker wondered how the blastema was being programmed and assumed it
was the nervous system. He then cut the nerves going to the arm and then
amputated the arm. To his surprise, nothing changed. Harvesting and re-
implanting the blastema before ten days grew a local organ and after ten
days grew the same organ (or limb) that was amputated. He couldn’t figure
out how it was being programmed.
He then made one-millimeter sections of the area and found that the nerves
were not growing back into the stem cells but that the fibrous tissue around
the nerves were quickly growing into the stem cells (blastema). These
fibrous cells were carrying the information to program the blastema.
Becker went on to discover that we have an entire second nervous system
made of fibrous tissue surrounding our nerves.
The second nervous system of the body is the perineural system of glial
cells and Schwann cells, etc., that surround the other nerves. It is an analog
system, meaning continuously variable strength of signal, direction of
flow, and waves of strength. It controls growth, healing, and biological
cycles.
Where it was always thought that the fibrous tissue of the body serves only
as structural support, Becker and Nördenstrom showed that fibrous tissue
in the body also serves to conduct electrons, much like copper wire in our
homes.
It seems that Becker never realized that the fibrous sheath called the
perineural nervous system was actually bringing in electrons to change the
voltage from operating voltage to healing voltage.
Most scientists do not believe that cells can dedifferentiate from normal
cells back to adult stem cells. It is believed that once cells differentiate into
functional cells, they cannot go back the other way. For example, once a
stem cell becomes a liver cell, it can never be anything except a liver cell.
Becker showed that isn’t true. Frog red blood cells have a nucleus. Becker
exposed them to small electron-stealer currents (in billionths of amperes).
They became stem cells.
When cells differentiate into cells in organs, genes that are not needed are
turned off. However, they are still present. With the proper voltage, these
genes can be switched back on as the cell dedifferentiates back into adult
stem cells.
The easiest way to access the perineural nervous system is at the spine. In
the chart, you can see where each autonomic nerve exits the spine and
which organs are connected to each nerve. One can use an electronic
device such as the Tennant BioModulator to tap into any of these wires to
measure the voltage of the connected organ or to send electrons to that
organ.

In the images you will notice that fascia surround each muscle, connect
with a fascial sheath that surrounds each organ, and then small fibers
connect the sheets around each organ down to each little cluster of cells. In
this way, each cell of the body is wired to the common wire that goes up
the center of the back and down the center of the front of the body. This is
the acupuncture system.
Helene Langevin, MD, is a research assistant
professor of neurology at the University of Vermont
School of Medicine. She and her colleagues
published a seminal article about acupuncture
meridians:
Thus Langevin and her colleagues have shown us that the acupuncture
system is essentially the fascial planes of the body.
Remember that the fascia are made of fibrous tissue. Remember also that
fibrous tissue has the least resistance to the flow of electrons through the
body. Remember also that this tissue is an electronic semiconductor,
diode, etc.
In the graphic you can see the cross section of an arm. You can also see
the classical drawings for the lung and large intestine meridians. You can
see in the cross-section the fascial wires in the arm that are at the fibrous
wires known as the lung and large intestine meridians.
In summary, there are three ways in which electrons are moved from place
to place. One is by way of the wiring system known as the perineural
nervous system. The second is by way of the wiring system known as the
acupuncture meridian system. The third is ionically within the blood
plasma.
One can also use the assess mode of the Tennant BioModulator to estimate
the voltage.
Another system that is over five thousand years old is the Vedas and the
concept of chakras. In this system it is believed that there are energy
spheres in the body that connect to the universe. Disease results when
these energy spheres, called chakras, spin incorrectly.
Chakras, as described above, are energy centers along the spine located at
major branchings of the human nervous system, beginning at the base of
the spinal column and moving upward to the top of the skull.
It is said that Jiro Murai taught Haruki Kato, MD, this method. Apparently
Kato and Murai taught Mary Mariko Iino-Burmeister the techniques.
Mary, a Japanese American, returned to California and began teaching the
techniques there and later in Arizona.
This graphic depicts the points used by Burmeister in her teachings and
their acupuncture correspondences. In the Murai technique, the points are
listed as a number. For example, you might use your hands to connect
right #4 with right #20. This would be the same as connecting GB-20 and
GB-14 in acupuncture terminology.
In the 1990s, Glenn King, PhD, of Dallas, Texas, sought to learn and
understand Murai’s system. He studied the methods taught by Mary
Burmeister and eventually was given copies of Murai’s drawings
originally given to Mary Burmeister. His interpretation of the system
differed from Burmeister’s. He eventually developed a system called “The
King Method” or TKM. Although I have been trained by him in his
system, he strongly enforces his copyrights to the material. Since it is
difficult to know what material is Murai’s or more ancient and not covered
by copyright and what King’s version is, it is difficult to discuss his
system.
I found it difficult to believe that the body contained different systems that
were not working together. As I continued to study various acupuncture
texts, it became apparent to me that there were spots on the primary
acupuncture circuits (governor and conception meridians) where multiple
meridians crossed. These points corresponded closely to the locations
described for many of the chakras. Understanding that the acupuncture
system is the same as the fascia system, I noted that the location of
crossing points of the fascia were the same as some of the Jin Shin/Murai
points.
The lateral BioTerminals are shown in the graphic. Notice that we have a
central and right and left lateral BioTerminals for the head, neck/upper
chest, chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Note they are basically the same as the
“Energy Spheres” described in Jin Shin as shown on the right.
Look at the similarities between the BioTerminals and the bands of fascia
in the graphic.
Now we have an easy way to determine the voltages of the organs in each
region of the body. Let’s say that you have pneumonia. You will certainly
have low voltage in the chest BioTerminal®. It may be front or back or
both. If you have stomach ulcers, you will have low voltage in the
abdomen BioTerminal®. It can be on the left or the right or both.
There is a safety circuit that connects the main cables in case one gets
shorted out. It runs from the bottom of the sternum (xiphoid) to the
coccyx. It is shown as a star in the graphic. This safety circuit often is
necessary after abdominal surgery creates a scar that shorts out the normal
flow of electrons through the main cables. You can see how the electrons
normally flow up the back and down the front. Now imagine a scar on
your abdomen from surgery or an injury. It would short out the circuit.
The body’s defense against this is to use the “detour” from the xiphoid
(bottom of sternum) to the coccyx. This protects the vital brain and heart,
but it leaves the pelvis organs with reduced voltage, resulting in pelvic
disorders. To overcome this, there is another “detour” from C-7 to the
supra-pubic BioTerminal®. This allows some electrons to flow from C-7
to the pelvis to overcome blockages.
It is unfortunate that surgeons know nothing about the serious side effects
of scars on the normal flow of electrons to organs via the acupuncture
system of fascia.
One should treat scars with the Tennant Soreness Essential Oil Blend and
the Tennant BioTransducer to reduce their shorting effect on the flow of
electrons.
It became apparent to me that the yin organs are capacitors and the yang
organs are hollow organs that serve as coils. They are wired together
through connecting meridians to form Tesla resonating circuits.
The yin organs (capacitors; solid organs) are all wired to the main cable
that runs up the back. The yang organs (coils; hollow organs) are all wired
to the main cable that runs down the front of the body.
What is confusing at first is that the wires that form the Tesla resonating
circuits with each organ pain make a loop through either an arm or a leg.
The loop also passes through a BioTerminal®. The loops connect in the
arms or legs at what are called the “Luo Points” in acupuncture theory.
One circuit that is unique is the liver/gall bladder circuit. It controls the
entire main cable system and is thus critical in the function of the entire
system.
There are two unusual names in acupuncture theory that are used in the
same way the names of organs are used, but they are not organs. The
names are “triple burner” or “triple heater” or “sanjiao.” These names are
synonyms. The other unusual circuit is called the “pericardium,” although
it has very little to do with the covering of the heart. The triple burner is
part of the yang or hollow circuitry, and the pericardium is part of the yin
or capacitor circuitry. In modern anatomy, the triple burner is the
sympathetic nervous system and the pericardium is the parasympathetic
nervous system.
The triple burner is wired to the front BioTerminal of the skull, and the
pericardium is wired to the back BioTerminal of the skull. Thus the
autonomic nervous system composed of the sympathetic (triple burner)
and parasympathetic (pericardium) monitor the head BioTerminals.
The large intestine circuit is wired to the front neck BioTerminal, and the
lung circuit is wired to the back neck BioTerminal.
The small intestine circuit is wired to the front chest BioTerminal, and the
heart circuit is wired to the back chest BioTerminal.
The stomach circuit is wired to the front abdominal BioTerminal, and the
spleen circuit is wired to the back abdominal BioTerminal.
The bladder circuit is wired to the front pelvis BioTerminal, and the
kidney circuit is wired to the back pelvis BioTerminal.
The liver circuit is wired to the crown BioTerminal, and the gall bladder
circuit is wired to the base or root BioTerminal.
Remember that the liver circuit connects to the base BioTerminal, and the
gall bladder circuit connects to the crown BioTerminal. I prefer to use the
liver and gall bladder points on the knees instead of the classical “Luo”
points for these circuits since they do not require dealing with modesty
issues. Also, one can use the Mu Points for liver and gall bladder.
Remember that Tesla circuits are designed to measure and adjust other
circuits.
There is a Tesla circuit for each pair of organs on each side of the body.
The capacitors are wired to the back and the coils are wired to the front of
the body.
When a BioTerminal’s voltage begins to drop, that is recognized by the
associated Tesla circuit. It moves electrons from the arm or leg muscles to
the BioTerminal in an effort to modulate it back to normal. Thus it is
important to exercise to keep the arm and leg muscle batteries charged.
When the total body voltage is low, you can use the Tennant
BioModulator as a portable battery charger while correcting the reasons
for the low voltage. Place a patch over the supra-pubic BioTerminal and
one over C-7. Attach the wire to the Tennant BioModulator and run it
twenty-four hours per day until your voltages are normal.
The supra-pubic BioTerminal controls all of the yin organs (capacitors,
solid organs). The BioTerminal at C-7 controls all the yang organs
(hollow, coil organs).
The system of five phases was used for describing interactions and
relationships between phenomena. It was employed as a device in many
fields of early Chinese thought, including seemingly disparate fields such
as geomancy or feng shui, astrology, traditional Chinese medicine, music,
military strategy, and martial arts.
The common memory jogs, which help to remind in what order the phases
are:
1. Wood feeds Fire; (liver supports heart)
2. Fire creates Earth (ash); (heart supports spleen)
3. Earth bears Metal; (spleen supports lung)
4. Metal carries Water (as in a bucket or tap, or water
condenses on metal); (lung supports kidney)
5. Water nourishes Wood; (kidney supports liver)
Source: Wikipedia
When finding low or high voltage in the BioTerminal circuits, look to see
if the blockage of a BioTerminal is causing higher voltage in the
BioTerminal before it and lower voltage in the BioTerminal(s) after it. If
so, you will want to be sure there isn’t a scar blocking the forward
movement of electrons and open the BioTerminal in front of the one in
question, then amplify the one behind it and finally open the one that is the
problem. It’s like driving a car. You can’t move forward if the car in front
of you is stalled even if the car behind you is trying to push you forward.
Summary
The cells in the body are designed to run at −20 to −25 millivolts. To heal
by making new cells, we must achieve −50 millivolts. We get chronically
sick when voltage drops below −20 millivolts.
To measure our voltages, we can easily use the acupuncture meridians and
the BioModulator.
4 The Bowling Ball Syndrome
In traditional western medicine it is taught
that the cranial bones fuse in childhood.
However, it has been taught by osteopathic
doctors since 1874 that the cranial bones
move in a rhythmic pattern.
“Cranial Bone Movement,” Heisey, R., and Adams, T., Journal of the
American Osteopathic Association.
Craniosacral Pump
The dura attaches over the sphenoid, down the spine and to the sacrum.
This forms a closed hydraulic system. There is a switch in the central joint
(medial sagittal suture) that controls formation of cerebrospinal fluid.
When the skull bones touch, the switch is on and fluid is deposited inside
the dura. This causes the dural balloon to expand. Eventually this pulls the
skull bones apart and the switch is opened. This discontinues the formation
of cerebrospinal fluid.
Soon the cerebrospinal fluid leaks out of the dural balloon via the veins,
and the dural balloon becomes smaller. This allows the skull bones to
come back into contact. This reactivates the switch causing fluid to again
be produced. This re-expands the dural balloon until again the bones
separate causing the switch to open and fluid production to cease.
The upper part of the dural balloon is attached to the sphenoid bone of the
skull. The lower part of the dural balloon is attached to the sacrum. When
it pulses, it forms the craniosacral pump. As the sphenoid and sacrum
move, the cerebrospinal fluid circulates through the brain and spinal cord.
When the sphenoid is de-centered and jammed, the pump stops. The
nervous system must function with stagnant cerebrospinal fluid.
When the sphenoid bone (keystone) is moved, the other cranial bones
follow. This moves the center of gravity of the skull causing the
compensatory changes:
1. The two sides of the face are asymmetrical.
2. The jaw moves to one side causing TMJ
3. One eyelid is droopy (ptosis) and the opposite cheek is flattened
4. One ear canal is lower than the other
5. Obstruction of the ocular canal can increase intraocular pressure
and decrease visual fields
6. Kinking of the Eustachian tubes can lead to increased ear
infections
7. Sinus obstruction
8. Nasal obstruction
9. Snoring
10. C1-2 move to one side causing persistent headaches and neck
aches
11. The entire spine is curved causing extrusion of disks
12. One shoulder is higher than the other making one arm seem short
13. One scapula is higher than the other giving pain in the
interscapular area during driving and other use of the arms
14. The pelvis is rotated giving low back pain and disk extrusion
15. The rotated pelvis makes one leg relatively shorter than the other.
This places more weight on one hip-knee-ankle making those
joints wear out. The shift of weight to one side makes one
clumsier.
16. The locking of the craniosacral pump causes the entire nervous
system to use stagnant cerebrospinal fluid resulting in a general
decrease in its function
17. Migraine headaches
The sphenoid bone is the keystone for the skull. The other cranial bones
rest on the sphenoid. The position of the sphenoid (keystone) dictates the
position of all other skull bones. The sphenoid bone is often moved by
trauma (birth trauma and accidents). Thus the position of the sphenoid
bone dictates the center of gravity of the skull.
When it shifts, causing the other cranial bones to shift as well, it moves the
center of gravity of the skull. This causes the brain to tell the neck,
particularly the upper cervical vertebra, to move to get under the center of
gravity of the skull so it won’t fall over. This dictate from the brain
changes the anatomical alignment of the whole body!
Immediately after correcting the Bowling Ball Syndrome with the Tennant
BioModulator, the ears become level and the pelvic rotation is gone. It
takes about 30 to 60 minutes for the cranial bones to completely re-center
and the ptosis to disappear. It takes twenty-four hours for the shoulders to
become even.
Now assume the lion does not show up. The sympathetic system turns
down and the parasympathetic system turns back on. Pupils go back to
normal size, ears lay down, the bronchioles relax, and the digestive system
turns back on. The deer munches on some grass, takes a nap, and starts the
healing process.
A significant difference between the deer and humans is that humans often
get stuck in sympathetic-on. While in this mode, the digestive system
doesn’t function well, sleep is difficult, and healing cannot occur.
When you have the Bowling Ball Syndrome, you are stuck in sympathetic-
on.
Almost everyone suffering from chronic illness has the Bowling Ball
Syndrome. An amazing thing that happens when you correct it is that it
balances the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Thus not only does
the correction cause your posture and anatomical alignment to be
corrected, it takes you out of sympathetic-on and balances your autonomic
nervous system. This allows you to enter parasympathetic-on with the
ability to have normal digestion, to sleep better, and to heal.
A cell is made up of a cell membrane and the inside, called the cytoplasm.
The cell membrane is made of fats. It controls the cell and is consider the
“brain” of the cell. That means you must have the proper fats to make
those membranes. About twenty percent of your body is this fat, so if you
weigh two hundred pounds, you need forty pounds of perfect fat to be
healthy. Since cells replace themselves on an average of about eight
weeks, you would need to absorb about five pounds of fat per week to stay
healthy!
To be used, proteins and fats need vitamins and minerals. To date, I have
never seen a patient with a chronic disease that is not mineral deficient,
and most are vitamin deficient as well.
If your liver is sick, you lose these processes resulting in chronic disease.
When the liver gets clogged up with debris because the membranes are
made of plastic, it tries to “wash” itself with cholesterol. A high
cholesterol level means your liver is trying to clean itself—much like you
would try to clean the filter from your air conditioner—or that you have
inadequate hormones (made from cholesterol) and the liver is trying to
give you the raw materials to make them. If you interfere with that process
with drugs and continue to give your body only plastic fats to repair itself,
you are doomed to chronic diseases of all types.
Eat lots of raw milk, butter, and eggs. If they make you nauseated, that
means your liver isn’t making enough bile to absorb them. You will need
to take ox bile and digestive enzymes with each meal until your liver can
make bile on its own. You will be able to eat fats without trouble when
you get your liver working again.
Eat things that don’t have the toxins listed above. Try to vary your diet,
with one-third protein, one-third fat, and one-third carbohydrates with the
carbs from fruits and vegetables.
Let’s assume that you have bought an old house that hasn’t been lived in
for several years. However, you love that old house and want to return it to
its former glory. You dream of living in that wonderful house and of all
the fun you will have in it.
Water
The body is about seventy percent to eighty percent water. Thus it is the
basis of who you are and how healthy you are. Unfortunately, you have
probably been led to believe that drinking things containing water is the
same as drinking water—not so! When things are put into water to make
the water some other drink, it changes how the water reacts in the body. If
you take good water from a well or an uncontaminated stream, it will be
alkaline (finding good water anywhere in the world is getting harder
because of chemical contaminations). That means it contains electrons
available for your body to use in its metabolism. However, if you put
chlorine and/or fluoride in it, it becomes acidic. Anything that is acidic is
an electron stealer. Anything that is alkaline is an electron donor.
Drinking acidic water steals electrons from your cells and damages them.
Drinking water that has been made into carbonated beverages is drinking
acid that is so concentrated you can use it to clean the grease off your
engine or clean out your toilet! Can that possibly be good for you?
Your cells are composed of water, but it is also what your body uses to
wash itself internally to clean away the garbage that gets in. Would you
wash your car with coffee? Then consider washing the inside of your body
with coffee or tea or sodas.
A 2010 report from the FDA raised further concerns regarding exposure of
fetuses, infants, and young children. A 2008 report by the U.S. National
Toxicology Program expressed “some concern for effects on the brain,
behavior, and prostate gland in fetuses, infants, and children at current
human exposures to bisphenol A,” and “minimal concern for effects on the
mammary gland and an earlier age for puberty for females in fetuses,
infants, and children at current human exposures to bisphenol A.
A 2007 review concluded that bisphenol-A has been shown to bind to the
thyroid hormone receptor and perhaps have selective effects on its
functions.
In 2007 and before, I had recommended the use of water bottles with the
number seven on the bottom. I can no longer support that recommendation
with the current studies that show the damage from bisphenol A.
It seems that the best choice for a bottle to carry water in is stainless steel.
When people are sick, they often have decreased minerals in their bodies.
Drinking water dilutes the minerals even more, leading to reduction in the
voltage and making them feel worse. The answer is to restore the minerals
and voltage, which allows you to drink the necessary amount of water.
Sometimes I see doctors tell their patients to drink less water because some
lab test shows they have too little of something in their blood such as
sodium. If you dehydrate the patient, the lab test will come back to normal
but the patient feels worse. Let’s assume you have two glasses of tea each
containing eight ounces. One is very dark and the other is very light. If I
put the light-colored one out in the sun and let some of the water
evaporate, soon both glasses of tea will be the same color. If I ran a lab test
on both glasses, the test might show a “normal” amount of tea in each;
however, there might not be enough volume left in the dehydrated glass to
do much with.
Not having or making stomach acid has consequences. Let’s say you drink
a carbonated beverage. A Coca Cola has a pH of 2.5. Thus very little HCl
is manufactured to bring the stomach to 2.0. Now it arrives at the small
intestine. It must be alkalized since the small intestine is not able to cope
with this acid. The pancreas makes sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the
stomach acid. It does it by the same formula as the stomach uses, only in
reverse. As it puts bicarbonate into the small intestine, it puts HCl into the
blood.
If the stomach was stimulated to put bicarbonate into the blood when it
made HCl, it can now be used to neutralize this HCl inserted by the
pancreas. But in the cola example, no bicarbonate was injected into the
blood by the stomach so there is less buffer available to deal with the HCl
injected into the blood by the pancreas’ need to neutralize the stomach acid
it receives. Thus the total body voltage is decreased by drinking the cola.
Remember that the ability to make HCl and bicarbonate requires iodine,
zinc, and vitamin B1.
So in our old house analogy, you will begin by washing out the debris
inside and outside your house.
Minerals
Minerals play an important role in the body. If you think about the battery
in your car, you know that if you put distilled water in it, it won’t hold a
charge. So it is with your body. In addition, minerals act as on-off switches
in the body. This is particularly true of calcium and magnesium.
For example, to contract a muscle, calcium is necessary. To relax the
muscle, magnesium is necessary. Calcium turns things on and magnesium
turns things off. If you run out of one of them, you get stuck in either on or
off.
1. Folate
2. Calcium
3. Iron
4. Vitamin B3
5. Zinc
6. Vitamin B6
7. Magnesium
8. Vitamin C
1. Folate
2. Iron
3. Zinc
4. Magnesium
5. Copper
6. Vitamin B3
7. Vitamin B6
8. Vitamin C
If you don’t have calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, and the
necessary vitamins, you can’t make serotonin. If you don’t have serotonin,
you will become depressed.
The other problem is that the minerals need to be balanced. If you simply
take a lot of the above minerals, you may be so out of balance that things
don’t work correctly.
The easiest way to tell if you need a particular mineral is to taste that
mineral in solution. You will need to
purchase this mineral testing/treatment kit.
A mineral is dropped onto your tongue. If
it tastes like water or sweet, you are
deficient in it. If it tastes metallic or bitter,
you don’t need it. Place the ones that don’t
taste really bad in your morning juice.
Recheck every week until each mineral
deficiency is corrected. When one of the
minerals starts tasting really bad, you don’t need any more.
Recheck your mineral level at least once every three to four months.
Because our soils are so depleted of minerals, you will need to replace
them periodically.
Some of the most commonly consumed water substitutes are coffee, black
tea, and alcohol. All three block zinc, and alcohol blocks selenium. Look
at the symptoms caused by a deficiency of these minerals:
Because they prevent the absorption of zinc, drinking coffee, tea (except
green tea), and/or alcohol make you susceptible to the misery of all of
these things causing everything from athlete’s foot to cancer! Now doesn’t
drinking water make more sense?
pH and Calcium
pH stands for “potential hydrogen.” It is a way of talking about the amount
of acid and base in our bodies. It is also a way of talking about the amount
of voltage in our bodies.
Water (H2O) ionizes into hydrogen (H+) and hydroxyl (OH−) ions. When
these ions are in equal proportions, the pH is a neutral 7. When there are
more H+ ions than OH− ions then the water is said to be “acid.” If OH−
ions outnumber the H+ ions then the water is said to be “alkaline.” The pH
scale goes from 0 to 14 and is logarithmic, which means that each step is
ten times the previous. In other words, a pH of 4.5 is ten times more acid
than 5.5, one hundred times more acid than 6.5, and one thousand times
more acid than 7.5.
Chronic disease and pain are always associated with an acidic pH, which is
the same as saying that chronic disease and pain are always associated
with a loss of voltage. Health is associated with the presence of voltage,
which is the same as saying that healthy people have an alkaline pH.
When you begin your day, you “turn on the body machinery.” This creates
a by-product of carbonic acid. This acid must be eliminated from the body
or the body loses its charge (becomes acidic). This is accomplished partly
by having the carbonic acid dissociate into carbon dioxide and water. The
carbon dioxide is breathed out through the lungs. However, one cannot
breathe fast enough to get rid of all the carbon dioxide that needs to be
eliminated, so some of it is removed by combining with ammonia from the
liver and intestine to form urea nitrogen, which is then eliminated through
the kidneys.
To be accurate, your salivary pH must be tested either the first thing when
you wake up before you drink any water or two hours after a meal. Test it
with pH strips. The graphic is printed in black and white so you don’t see
the colors. However, 5.0 is a tan color and 9.0 is purple. Basically the gray,
blue, and purple colors are alkaline whereas the yellows and browns are
acidic.
If your urine or your salivary pH falls below 6.5, you need more calcium!
This is the recommended daily intake of calcium if you have a normal total body voltage (pH).
Other forms that can be found are gluconate, lactate, and phosphate. Coral
calcium is about one-fifth calcium carbonate. For example, 565 mg of
coral calcium would contain about 110 mg of calcium carbonate.
Note that this recommendation has you taking some calcium even if your
pH is above 6.5. This is advantageous if you are dealing with serious
illness because microorganisms can’t grow in an alkaline pH. Cancer cells
have trouble growing with alkaline pH as well.
The normal human cell has a lot of molecular oxygen and a slightly
alkaline pH. The cancer cell has an acid pH and lack of oxygen. Cancer
cells cannot survive in an oxygen-rich environment. At a pH slightly above
7.4 (salivary pH 6.7) cancer cells become dormant, and at pH 8.5 (salivary
pH 7.8) cancer cells will die while healthy cells will live. Again, the higher
the pH reading, the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid is. Cancer and
all diseases hate oxygen / pH balance.
http://home.bluegrass.net/~jclark/coral_calcium.htm
For those wishing to support the latter theory, it has been difficult to
determine what is actually needed to make new cells. People are always
saying things like they have a new herb from Africa or a fruit from China
that will magically heal everything. Such findings are often useful for
some but not predictable for most. My feeling has always been that our
Heavenly Father would not design a body that requires unusual potions
from far-away places to make us healthy.
There are very few products that provide all or even most of the raw
materials needed to make new cells and sustain the existing ones. The
problem is that we need all of them at the same time_for things to work.
For example, a protein called tryptophan is needed to make the brain
chemical called serotonin. However, it takes eight vitamins and minerals
for this to work. If you are missing one of them, e.g., zinc, you can’t make
serotonin. You may get a few of the things you need to be healthy from a
product you are taking this month and a few from the product you take
next month, but neither works because you didn’t get them all at the same
time!
One of those rare products that contains almost everything you need for
life (and the rebuilding of a healthy life) is phytoplankton. It contains the
ten amino acids that the body cannot make and must be consumed in our
diet (essential amino acids). The essential fatty acids are also present
(omega 3 and omega 6). Vitamins A (beta-carotene), B1 (thiamine), B2
(riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B12
(cobalamin), C, and D (tocopherol), and major and trace minerals are all
present in phytoplankton.
I have also found that one can replace neurochemicals with phytoplankton
even when the liver is too sick to allow the person to take products with
just the amino acids and vitamins/minerals necessary to make them.
Plankton works, in part, because of it contains humic and fulvic acids. The
source of these substances for ocean creatures is plankton. The source of
these substances for land-based creatures is supposed to be plants grown
on soil that contains decayed animal and plant products. Unfortunately, our
farming practices have depleted the soil of humic and fulvic. Please read
the chapter devoted to this subject.
Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is related to water. Any fluid system needs…fluids!
Having a normal pressure inside your vascular system is key to feeling
well. The upper number of your blood pressure is called “systolic.” It is a
measure of the highest pressure in your system. It is the result of the heart
contracting and pushing blood into the vessels. It should be between 120
and 140.
Some studies have shown that the most important number is the pulse
pressure. That is the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure.
For example, if your blood pressure is 150/100, your pulse pressure is 50.
As you will see when we discuss heart disease and cholesterol, whatever
over-expands the artery is what damages it and causes heart disease.
Obviously excess pressure is what over-expands the arteries.
It is often said that blood pressure cannot be too low unless you have
symptoms. That is not true. If the blood pressure is too low, you will not
have enough pressure to get enough blood to your brain and you will have
symptoms of chronic fatigue. When the diastolic pressure is below 80, you
will often have symptoms.
Blood pressure is much like tire pressure for your car. “Cold” pressure is
the pressure in your tires when the car has not been moving. It is the
minimum operating pressure to make your tires work correctly. When the
tires start rolling, the heat created increases the pressure in them. This is
called the “hot” pressure. It is the maximum pressure experienced by the
tires. If that is too high, it will damage the tire walls.
Published Abstract:
The purpose of the Seventh Report of the Joint Evaluation, and Treatment
of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7) is to provide an evidence-based approach
to the prevention and management of hypertension. The key messages of
this report are these:
1. In those older than age 50, systolic blood pressure (BP) of greater
than 140 mm mercury is a more important cardiovascular disease
(CVD) risk factor than diastolic BP.
2. Beginning at 115/75 mm mercury, CVD risk doubles for each
increment of 20/10 mm mercury.
3. Those who are normotensive at 55 years of age will have a 90%
lifetime risk of developing hypertension.
4. Pre-hypertensive individuals (systolic BP 120-139 mm mercury
or diastolic BP 80-89 mm mercury) require health-promoting
lifestyle modifications to prevent the progressive rise in blood
pressure and CVD.
5. For uncomplicated hypertension, thiazide diuretic should be used
in drug treatment for most, either alone or combined with drugs
from other classes.
6. This report delineates specific high-risk conditions that are
compelling indications for the use of other antihypertensive drug
classes (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin-
receptor blockers, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers).
7. Two or more antihypertensive medications will be required to
achieve goal BP (<140/90 mm mercury, or <130/80 mm
mercury) for patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
8. For patients whose BP is more than 20 mm mercury above the
systolic BP goal or more than 10 mm mercury above the diastolic
BP goal, initiation of therapy using two agents, one of which
usually will be a thiazide diuretic, should be considered.
9. Regardless of therapy or care, hypertension will be controlled
only if patients are motivated to stay on their treatment plan.
Since most physicians have to see so many patients per day, it has been my
experience that many skip step one of behavior modification and often
start drug therapy in all patients whose blood pressure is >120/80. Also,
they often choose drugs other than diuretics as the beginning medication. It
has been my experience that many people with diastolic pressures <80 will
have mental fog and/or dizziness because there isn’t enough pressure to
get adequate blood to the brain.
Several of my family members have been treated this way. When they
report the symptoms to their physicians, they are told to keep taking the
medications. This is the common practice of physicians treating lab results
and not the patient. If a patient can’t work because you have lowered their
blood pressure too low, you haven’t really served the patient.
I find that most patients will have a normal blood pressure in four to six
months after starting the program of restoring voltage and nutrition.
The substance that dilates blood vessels in the body is nitric oxide (NO).
Thus the primary cause of hypertension is lack of NO. This substance has
a very important role in the body as it also controls brain communication,
hormones, insulin, etc. The body’s ability to make it is diminished every
year so that most people older thanforty0 do not have enough. It is made
from the amino acid l-arginine. However, making it from l-arginine is
much like the conversion of T4 to T3 that we discuss in the chapter on
thyroid. If you don’t have the proper vitamins and minerals, you make a
fake compound that is damaging. Thus it is recommended that people over
age forty do not take l-arginine. Taking it if you have had a heart attack
actually increases your risk of dying of a heart attack.
The most important nutrients to take to maintain your NO levels are green
leafy vegetables.
Sewage
As you clean up your old house now and in the future and wash out the
debris, you will need a functional sewage system to get rid of the toxic and
waste materials. One of the most important systems in the body is the large
intestine. For some reason, people seem to fear the simple process of
cleaning it even though very few people actually find it uncomfortable or
distressing. It just means you need to be at home for a few hours.
Most traditional doctors do not believe that cleaning the intestine has any
benefits. They also believe that having a bowel movement every few days
is okay. This ignores the fact that healthy children and adults have multiple
bowel movements per day.
Physicians will admit that many elderly have so few bowel movements
that they eventually get impacted. They will acknowledge that these
patients are sick but rarely think about the effects of holding toxic feces in
the body for days.
For whatever reason, people routinely feel better after a colon cleanse.
1. Megacolon
2. Gastrointestinal Obstruction
3. Ascites
4. Congestive Heart Failure
5. Kidney Disease
6. Children Under 5 Years of Age
7. Use with caution with Impaired Renal Function
8. Heart Disease
9. Acute Myocardial Infarction
10. Unstable Angina
11. Pre-Existing Electrolyte Disturbances
12. Increased Risk For Electrolyte Disturbances (E.G., Dehydration,
Gastric Retention, Bowel Perforation, Colitis, Ileus, Inability to
take Adequate Oral Fluid, Concomitant use of Diuretics or Other
Medications that Affect Electrolytes)
13. Debilitated or Elderly Patients
14. Patients Taking Medications Known to Prolong the Q-T Interval
(a defined part of the ECG pattern)
If you have any of these, discuss this with Dr. Tennant before taking the
magnesium citrate. One can clean the colon with colonies if it is
contraindicated to use magnesium citrate.
Probiotics
The word “probiotic” refers to bacteria that normally live in our intestines
and help with digestion. They are an important part of the digestive
process and need to be replaced if they are diminished in numbers by the
use of antibiotics.
Electricity
Now that you have the water and sewage working in your old house, you
need electricity. So it is with your body. When two hydrogen atoms join
with an oxygen atom to form water, the first thing they do is exchange
electrons. When electrons move from one place to another, this is called an
electric current. All of the chemical reactions in the body depend upon
voltage (movement of electrons). Every cell has its own battery pack—the
cell membrane—that stores voltage and provides it to the cell as needed to
keep it working.
Cooking Oils
This is one of the most important parts of getting well. If you don’t stop
putting trans fats (“plastic fats”) into your body, you will never get well!
Please pay particular attention to this section.
When a cell in your body is worn out, it makes a new one. It looks around
to see what building materials you have provided to make a new cell. If all
you have given your body is plastic fat, it makes a new cell out of plastic.
Remember that the cell membrane that surrounds every cell is made of fat.
If you make that out of plastic, the cell doesn’t work very well. It is like
wrapping all your cells in cellophane.
The cell sends a message to your brain that it’s hungry. Your body sends
the cell some glucose and insulin. However, the glucose can’t get through
the “cellophane,” and the cell keeps complaining that it’s hungry. The
body keeps sending more insulin and glucose. Much of it gets put into fat
cells. Your cells keep complaining that they are hungry. Your brain keeps
you eating to try to solve the hunger, but not much gets through the
cellophane to the cells.
Soon you are obese and your pancreas is worn out from making so much
insulin. With all that glucose in your blood stream, you are diagnosed with
type II diabetes. Drugs lower the levels of sugar in your blood, but your
cells are still coping with being made of plastic. Soon they begin to wear
out, and you get symptoms of worn-out cells such as heart attacks, strokes,
liver failure, kidney failure, blindness, chronic fatigue, etc.
Most restaurants use plastic fats for frying food. If you eat out, you must
stop eating fried food or choose a restaurant that doesn’t use plastic fats.
Most cheese is made from plastic fats. Thus cheeseburgers and French
fries are major sources of plastic fats. Fast food isn’t dangerous because
it’s fast—it’s dangerous because it’s plastic.
The point you must understand is that if you insist on feeding your body
plastic fats, you will never get well! However, if you give your body good
fat and the other things it needs, your body will build a new you that is
vibrant and healthy!
There is a lot of confusion about the type of fat to eat. Many people are
becoming toxic from too much omega-3 fats (from fish oil, etc.). Your cell
membranes are like your home. They need to be strong enough to be
substantial but have doorways and windows to let things in and out. If you
build your house out of concrete blocks with no windows or doors, it will
be strong but won’t work because you can’t get in or out. If you build it
with mostly doors and windows, the next storm will take it down.
In cells, saturated fats are strong, and unsaturated fats are porous. You
need saturated fat (animal fat, for example) to make strong cells, and
unsaturated fats (fish oils for example) for doors and windows. The ratio
needs to be 4:1, meaning that you need to eat four times as much saturated
fat as unsaturated fats or four times as many bricks as doors and windows.
Saturated fats have gotten a bad reputation because plastic fats are
saturated. There is a difference between plastic fats and normal saturated
fats.
The following discussion is for those who don’t understand this problem
and insist that eating fat is harmful. Remember that your body should
contain about twenty percent fat since all of your cell membranes and most
of your nervous system is fat. That means you need to give your body
twenty-four pounds of good fat to replace the fat in your system if you
weigh 120 pounds. If you weigh two hundred pounds, you will need to
give your body forty pounds of good fat to get healthy!

Connolly and Mary G. Enig, PhD.
Yet the textbooks tell us that fats from animal and vegetable
sources provide a concentrated source of energy in the diet; they
also provide the building blocks for cell membranes, for
hormones, and for prostaglandins (substances that mediate
important chemical processes in the body). In addition, they act as
carriers for the important fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Dietary fats are needed for conversion of carotene to vitamin A
and for a host of other processes.
Today, after forty years, the current director of this study admits:
“In Framingham, Mass., the more saturated fat one ate, the more
cholesterol one ate, the more calories one ate, the lower the
person’s serum cholesterol. ... [W]e found that the people who ate
the most cholesterol, ate the most saturated fat, and ate the most
calories weighed the least and were the most physically active.”
The study did show that those who weighed more and had higher
blood cholesterol levels were more at risk for future coronary heart
disease; but weight gain and cholesterol levels had an inverse
correlation with fat and cholesterol intake in the diet.
Fat Chemistry. Most fat in our bodies and in the food we eat is in
the form of triglycerides, that is, three fatty acid chains attached to
a glycerol molecule. Elevated triglycerides in the blood have been
positively linked to proneness to heart disease, but these
triglycerides do not come directly from dietary fats; they are made
in the liver from any excess sugars that have not been completely
burned. The source of these excess sugars is any food containing
carbohydrates, but particularly refined sugar and processed
carbohydrates.
All fats and oils, whether of vegetable or animal origin, are some
combination of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids
(oleic acid), and the polyunsaturates linoleic and linolenic acid. In
general, animal fats such as butter, lard, and tallow contain about
50 percent saturated fat and are solid at room temperature.
Vegetable fats from northern climates contain a preponderance of
polyunsaturated fatty acids and are liquid at room temperature. But
vegetable oils from the tropics are highly saturated. Coconut oil,
for example, is 92 percent saturated. These fats are liquid in the
tropics, but hard as butter in northern climes. Highly saturated
tropical oils such as coconut and palm oil are not harmful, as the
popular press would lead us to believe. These fats and oils have
nourished healthy populations, free of heart disease, for millennia.
Vegetable oils are more saturated in hot climates because the
increased saturation helps maintain stiffness in plant leaves. Olive
oil with its preponderance of oleic acid is the product of a
temperate climate. It is liquid at warm temperatures but hardens
when refrigerated.
Summary: (JLT)
1. Short-chain fatty acids have four to six carbon atoms (butter and
coconut)
a. Do not contribute to weight gain as much as olive and
vegetable oil
b. Have antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties in the intestinal
tract
c. Have anti-tumor properties and help strengthen the immune
system,
2. Medium-length fatty acids have eight to twelve (butter and
coconut)
a. Do not contribute to weight gain as much as olive and
vegetable oil
b. Have antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties in the intestinal
tract
c. Have anti-tumor properties and help strengthen the immune
system,
3. Long-chain fatty acids have 14 to 18 carbon atoms (beef fat)
a. Absorbed by the lymph system and must be acted on by bile
salts
b. Used to construct membranes and vital hormone-like
substances, to create electric potentials, and to move electric
currents
c. Stored in the adipose tissue, particularly oleic and linoleic acid
4. Very-long-chain fatty acids have 20 to 24 carbon atoms (fish oils,
organs)
a. Absorbed by the lymph system and must be acted on by bile
salts
b. Used to construct membranes and vital hormone-like
substances, to create electric potentials, and to move electric
currents
c. Stored in the adipose tissue, particularly oleic and linoleic
acid; an excess of polyunsaturated fatty acids stimulate tumor
growth.
A Serious Problem.
(Note that recent work shows that many sources of omega-3 like cod liver
oil are severely contaminated with chemical toxins in the ocean. It is
critical to only buy and use molecularly distilled omega-3 oils that have
removed these carcinogens. Most health food stores do not sell these as it
takes one hundred pounds of cod livers to produce ten pounds of toxin-free
oil, which makes it more expensive. Use only molecularly distilled omega-
3 supplements. JLT)
(There is a safe modern technique for extraction that drills into the
seeds and extracts the oil and its precious cargo of antioxidants
under low temperatures, with minimal exposure to light and
oxygen. These unrefined oils will remain fresh for a long time if
stored in the refrigerator in dark bottles. Extra virgin olive oil is
produced by crushing olives between stone or steel rollers. This
process is a gentle one that preserves the integrity of the fatty acids
and the numerous natural preservatives in olive oil. If the olive oil
is packaged in an opaque container, it will retain its freshness and
precious store of antioxidants many months.)
The oil with its nickel catalyst is then subjected to hydrogen gas in
a high-pressure, high-temperature reactor. Next, soap-like
emulsifiers and starch are squeezed into the mixture to give it a
better consistency. The oil is yet again subjected to high
temperature when it is steam cleaned. This removes its horrible
odor. Margarine’s natural color, an unappetizing grey, is removed
by bleach. Coal tar dyes and strong flavors must then be added to
make it resemble butter. Finally the mixture is compressed and
packaged in blocks or tubs, ready to be spread on your toast (and
make “plastic cell membranes” JLT).

That report has helped push the government and the food industry to start
taking aggressive steps to address this long-neglected threat to public
health. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) could be close to
finalizing a rule that would require trans-fat labeling on packaged foods.
Canada instituted such a requirement early this year as part of its
mandatory nutrition-labeling system. Labeling not only will help
consumers cut back on trans, it will also be “a profound disincentive for
manufacturers” to use partially hydrogenated oils,” says Marion Nestle,
PhD, professor and chair of New York University’s department of
nutrition and food studies, and author of “Food Politics: How the Food
Industry Influences Nutrition and Health.”

Trans fats are one carbon atom away from being plastic. This “near-
plastic” fat ends up in your cell membranes. Thus when you eat trans fats,
you become mostly plastic! Is it any wonder why your cells don’t work
well and you don’t feel good when your cells are made of “near-plastic”?

Here is a review article about canola oil (rapeseed oil) and its toxic effects
from a Swedish medical journal:
The lifespan of rats is the same on corn oil, soybean oil, coconut oil, whale
oil, and rapeseed oil diet. Rats fed a diet with erucic acid or other
docosenoic acids showed a lowered tolerance to cold stress (+4 degrees C).
In Sweden, erucic acid constituted 3-4% of the average intake of calories
up to 1970 compared with about 0.4% at present.”
Milk
One of the three total foods capable of supporting life is raw milk;
however, when milk is heated to pasteurize it, the proteins are destroyed.
When it is homogenized, it is blown through nozzles to break the long fat
chains into short, broken pieces of fat. Thus pasteurized, homogenized
milk is no longer milk but instead contains toxic proteins and fat particles.
Most people who think they are “lactose intolerant” are really just
sensitive to the toxic brew we call milk that is available in grocery stores.
The state of Maryland was considering prohibiting people who own cows
from drinking their own milk or from forming cooperatives so people who
buy a portion of a cow could consume raw milk. This rebuttal letter written
by Sally Fallon puts it all into perspective. I reproduce it here with her
permission.
The following are comments and clarifications to a letter from Ted Elkins,
Deputy Director, Office of Food Protection and Consumer Health
Services, sent to citizens who submitted comments to oppose the Notice of
Proposed Action to amend Regulation .06 under COMAR
10.15.06.Production, Processing, Transportation, Storage and Distribution
of Milk.
“The State of Maryland and other federal and state health agencies have
documented a long history of the risks to human health associated with the
consumption of raw milk. Clinical and epidemiological studies from the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA), state health agencies, and others
have established a direct causal link between gastrointestinal disease and
the consumption of raw milk.”
In spite of this lack of evidence, the author of the official report concluded:
“The only means available to ensure the public’s health would be proper
pasteurization before consumption.” (American Journal of Epidemiology,
1983 Vol. 114, No 4) Ironically, just 4 years later, a massive outbreak of
over 16,000 culture-confirmed cases of antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella
typhimurium was traced to pasteurized milk from one dairy in Georgia
(JAMA 1987 Dec. 11; 258(22): 3269-74). Yet health officials still allow
the sale of pasteurized milk in Georgia.
“The microbial flora of raw milk may include human pathogens present on
the cow’s udder and teats.”
The intrinsic safety of raw milk stands in sharp contrast to the dangers
inherent in other foods. For example, a 1978 survey found Salmonella in
many “health food” products, including soy flour, soy protein powder, and
soy milk powder. The authors of the report concluded that “The
occurrence of this pathogen in three types of soybean products should
warrant further investigation of soybean derivatives as potentially
significant sources of Salmonella (Applied and Environmental
Microbiology, Mar 1979, pp. 559-566).
While raw milk often gets the blame for food-borne illnesses,
Campylobacter is best known for contaminating meats. For example, a
study carried out during 1999–2000 found that 70.7 percent of chicken and
14.5 percent of turkey samples from Washington, D.C., grocery stores was
infected with Campylobacter. (Zhao C., et al., Applied and Environmental
Microbiology, 2001:67(12): 5431-5436). Maryland law does not require
pasteurization of chicken and turkey, which is highly likely to contain
human pathogens, yet has taken steps to deny access to raw milk, which
seldom if ever contains human pathogens.
10. Neutrophils, which kill infected cells; mobilize other parts of the
immune system
12. Lysosyme, which kills bad bacteria by digesting their cell walls
A 1994 study found that premature infants fed raw human milk had lower
rates of infection compared to those fed pasteurized human milk (Lancet,
November 17, 1984). In fact, pasteurization of human milk for babies
carries considerable risk. A recent outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in
a neonatal intensive care unit caused by a contaminated milk bank
pasteurizer resulted in 31 cases of infection and 4 deaths (Arch Dis Child
Fetal Neonatal Ed. 2003 Sep; 88(5): F434-5).
The intrinsic safety of raw milk has been proven in several published
reports showing that raw milk passes the “challenge test.” That is, when
pathogenic bacteria are introduced to raw milk, their numbers rapidly
decline; subsequent testing reveals no pathogens even though they were
introduced in large numbers. For example, Lactoperoxidase in raw milk
has been shown to kill added fungal and bacterial agents (Life Science
2000 66(25): 2433-9; Indian Journal of Experimental Biology 1998; 36:
808-11).
“On August 10, 1987, FDA published 21 CFR Part 1240.61, a final
regulation mandating the pasteurization of all milk and milk products in
final package form for direct human consumption. This regulation
addresses milk shipped in interstate commerce and became effective
September 9, 1987. In the Federal Register notification for the final rule to
21 CFR Part 1240.61, FDA made a number of findings including the
following: ‘Raw milk, no matter how carefully produced, may be unsafe.’”
This statement may be part of the official record, but it contradicts other
statements published by the U.S. government. A study carried out over 19
years and posted on the Centers for Disease Control website gives the
incidence of food-borne illness from raw milk at 1.9 cases per 100,000
people, 1973–1992 (American Journal Public Health, Aug. 1998, Vol. 88.,
No 8). This report cites many incidents reputed to be caused by raw milk
but not necessarily proven; the actual rate of illness caused by raw milk, on
a per-consumer basis, may in fact be much lower.
Based on the same CDC website, the incidence of food-borne illness from
all foods including pasteurized milk during the period 1993–1997 is 4.7
cases per 100,000 people (U.S. Census Bureau 1997 population estimate
267,783,607). Based on the CDC website, the incidence of reported food-
borne illness from other foods (not including milk) are 6.4 cases per
100,000 people per year from 1993 to 1997. Therefore, the incidence of
food-borne illness from consuming raw milk is at least 2.5 times lower
than the incidence of food-borne illness from consuming pasteurized milk
and at least 3.5 times lower than the incidence of food-borne illness from
consuming other foods.
Thus the statement published in the Federal Register is false; raw milk is
safer than any other food in the food supply. If a food is to be taken out of
the food supply because it “may be unsafe,” then we would have nothing
left to eat. Raw salads, fruits, vegetables, shellfish, eggs and meat, plus
pasteurized milk, soy products, baby formula, and mayonnaise have all
caused proven outbreaks of illness. Yet these foods remain in the food
supply, putting the citizens of Maryland at continued risk.
The fact that Mr. Elkins does not present the full story by enumerating the
many outbreaks of food-borne illness in pasteurized milk provides clear
evidence of bias on the part of a Maryland health official.
It is obvious that this decision was not science-based and that it contradicts
the epidemiological evidence provided by our government agencies.
“Based on research, which has failed to demonstrate a significant
difference between the nutritional value of pasteurized and unpasteurized
milk, the FDA and CDC reiterate that the health risks associated with raw
milk consumption far outweigh the benefits.”
These studies confirm the findings of Francis Pottenger who noted that the
organs of cats fed raw milk were in excellent condition, with creamy
yellow subcutaneous tissue of high vascularity. The heart size of raw milk-
fed cats was moderate, the liver in good condition, the intestines firm, and
the uterus well supported. By contrast the internal organs of pasteurized
milk-fed cats were inferior, with slight fatty atrophy of the liver, inferior
condition of the heart, lack of intestinal tone, and moderate distention of
the uterus. The skin of the pasteurized milk-fed cats had a purplish
discoloration due to congestion and the fur was of poor quality
(Pottenger’s Cats, Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation).
During 1930–31, Dr. Ernest Scott and Prof. Lowell Erf of Ohio State
University carried out rat studies that compared the effects of a diet of
whole raw milk with one of whole pasteurized milk. Rats fed whole raw
milk had good growth, sleek coats, and clear eyes. The rats had excellent
dispositions and enjoyed being petted. By contrast, rats fed whole
pasteurized milk had rough coats, slow growth, anemic, and loss of vitality
and weight. They were very irritable, often showing a tendency to bite
when handled (Jersey Bulletin 1931 50: 210-21 1; 224-226, 237).
Studies of guinea pigs carried out by Dr. Rosalind Wulzen and Paul N.
Harris, Department of Zoology, Oregon State College, are particularly
revealing. Animals fed whole raw milk had excellent growth and no
abnormalities. By contrast, those fed pasteurized milk had poor growth,
muscle stiffness, emaciation, and weakness and death within one year.
Autopsy revealed atrophied muscles streaked with calcification and
calcium deposits under the skin, in the joints, the heart, and other organs
(American Journal of Pathology Vol. XX VI, Jul-Nov 1950 pp. 595-615).
There were many possible vectors of illness on the dairy besides raw milk
—besides providing raw milk, the dairy also operated a petting zoo. There
have been several incidents of illness contracted by children visiting a
petting zoo, cases that have nothing to do with raw milk. Based on this one
incident, in which raw milk was not proven the culprit, the dairy, which
had been in business for decades without incident, caved in to health
department pressure and stopped the sale of raw milk.
“State health and agricultural agencies utilize the U.S. Public Health
Service/FDA Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) as the basis for the
regulation of Grade ‘A’ milk production and processing. The PMO has
been sanctioned by the National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments
(NCIMS) and provides a national standard of uniform measures that is
applied to Grade ‘A’ dairy farms and milk processing facilities to ensure
safe milk and milk products. Section 9 of the PMO specifies that only
Grade ‘A’ pasteurized milk be sold to the consumer.”
This issue is a red herring. The individual states do not need to follow the
PMO. The PMO is a choice, not an obligation. California, the top milk-
producing state, does not follow the PMO but created its own regulations.
Furthermore, the state can accept the PMO but have exceptions in certain
areas, as does Colorado. In any event, PMO regulations do not prohibit
consumers from drinking raw milk. It must be stressed that neither the
federal government nor the individual states prohibit the consumption of
raw milk. Such laws would be inherently unconstitutional, depriving
citizens the right to liberty and property without due process of law.
“In summary, since raw milk may contain infective doses of human
pathogens, its consumption increases the risk of a variety of illnesses.
Even when milk is produced and handled under sanitary conditions, the
only proven, reliable method of reducing the level of human pathogens in
milk and milk products to safe levels is pasteurization. The FDA has
strongly advised against the consumption of raw milk. As the state agency
responsible for health of the citizens of Maryland, the Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene cannot, in good conscience, condone or
encourage the sale of raw milk.”
As we have demonstrated in this letter, raw milk does not contain
“infective doses of human pathogens” and its consumption does not
“increase the risk of a variety of illnesses.” Pasteurization does not
guarantee a safe product and the risk of contracting food-borne illness
from raw milk is lower than the risk of contracting food-borne illness from
pasteurized milk. The statements made in writing by Mr. Elkins would not
hold up in a court of law and are an insult to Maryland consumers.
But in any event, Maryland consumers are not asking for legalization of
the sale of raw milk, but only confirmation of the right to drink the raw
milk from their own cows, which is a public policy of the state of
Maryland. Maryland consumers are not asking the Department of Health
and Mental Hygiene to condone or encourage the sale of raw milk, but
merely insisting that the state of Maryland support the rights of its citizens
to enter into contractual agreements guaranteed by Maryland law (title 16,
Section 401), which recognizes the right of an owner of dairy livestock to
contract with another for the boarding and care of that livestock. MDHMH
is interfering in areas where it has no jurisdiction whatsoever and is
overstepping the bounds of its regulatory authority.
Sugar
Eating sugar, especially processed sugar, causes the release of insulin.
High levels of constant insulin are toxic and cause prolonged inflammation
in the body.
Two large studies have been done that looked at the effects of more or less
insulin on long-term death rates. The first was called the ACCORD trial
and included 10,251 patients. The second, called the NICE-SUGAR Study,
included 6,104 patients. Both trials proved that higher insulin activity was
associated with higher death rates.
Every cell in the body is designed to run primarily on fat except the
nerves. They are designed to run primarily on glucose. This includes the
brain.
When you eat carbohydrates, they are digested to glucose, and this causes
the pancreas to put out insulin. The glucose is used to fill up the liver. The
liver can hold about one and a half hours worth of glucose for the brain.
The remainder is placed into fat cells.
One of the problems is that insulin turns glucose into fat, but it cannot turn
fat back into glucose. Thus once glucose becomes fat, insulin cannot
access that energy storage for placing glucose in the liver.
Let’s say your liver is full of glucose. Then an hour goes by. Your brain
“looks” down at the liver and says, “Oh my! There are only thirty minutes
worth of fuel left for me—hurry and eat a Snickers bar and drink a Coke
so I don’t run out of fuel!” Your brain encourages you to eat rapidly
digested carbohydrates.
This is the basis of the Atkins diet. It isn’t necessarily the healthiest way to
eat because an all-protein diet isn’t giving you the vitamins, minerals, and
other nutrients you get from eating fruits and vegetables. However, it does
explain why it works. It also explains why Americans have become so
obese since doctors have begun recommending a low-fat, low-protein,
high-carbohydrate diet filled with pasta, bread, fruits and vegetables.
Symptoms of Insulin Resistance (Type II
Diabetes)
Here is a list of some of the most common symptoms of people with
insulin resistance. Many symptoms manifest themselves immediately
following a meal of carbohydrates, and others are more or less always
present. Keep in mind that these symptoms may also be related to other
problems.
http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/insulin.htm
In our house analogy, it is likely that rats have built a nest in your old
home. There will be spider webs, ants, mice, crickets, termites, etc. These
pests will damage your home and steal your food if you don’t get rid of
them. So it is with our bodies. Heavy metals in our tissues and biotoxins
(chemicals that damage our cells) will have concentrated in our livers and
gall bladders because those organs try to remove these pests from our
bodies—often unsuccessfully.
Most of these toxic things are fat-soluble (dissolved in the fat of our
bodies). This is particularly true of our cell membranes and our brains,
endocrine glands, and livers. Since they are fat-soluble, they tend to get
stored and concentrated in our livers and gall bladders. Bacteria, viruses,
and fungi then tend to grow in our gall bladders and produce more toxins.
In this manner, our livers and gall bladders become a “rat’s nest” that must
be cleaned out for us to start feeling better.
Gall Bladder
There are many misconceptions about the gall bladder. Note the following
facts:
1. Gall bladder flush: The first thing in the morning, drink one
teacup of grapefruit juice with two tablespoons of extra virgin
olive oil. Do not drink or eat anything else for thirty minutes. At
bedtime, take two more tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and
a teacup of either grapefruit or prune juice. Repeat the morning
and evening juice/oil for seven days. Also, each day for seven
days, drink one quart of apple juice to soften any stones.
2. Taurine is an amino acid needed to make bile. You will need to
take 1000 mg/day. In studies, 100 percent of those taurine-
deficient developed gallstones. In those given taurine
supplements, the formation of gallstones dropped to zero.
3. Vitamin C: Take 2000 mg/day.
4. You should plan on taking vitamin C long term.
If you have had your gallbladder removed, you will need to take bile salts
(ox bile) 500 mg every time you eat.
Liver Cleanup
The liver, the largest solid organ, is the body’s detoxification center and a
vast center for metabolic activity including:
1. Lipid/carbohydrate/protein metabolism
2. Blood synthesis
3. Bilirubin metabolism
4. Urea cycle
5. Ammonia detoxification
6. Biliary processes
7. Bile and cholesterol synthesis
8. Oxidative energy metabolism
9. Hormone metabolism
10. Immune function (Kupffer cells)
11. Clearance of drugs (pharmaceuticals)
12. Processing of nutrients, toxins, and bile acids from the intestine.
The liver’s detoxification processes has three distinct phases. The purpose
is to change fat-soluble toxins into water-soluble products that can be
excreted from the body. Conversion of cholesterol into bile is a primary
process in the elimination of wastes. Thus high cholesterol often is a
symptom of the liver attempting to clear toxins from the body and should
not be interrupted with anti-cholesterol drug therapy:
Phase II: toxins are made more water soluble using oxidation, reduction,
hydrolysis, dehalogenation, methylation, sulfation, glucuronidation,
peptide conjugation, acetylation, and glutathione conjugation.
Phase III: toxins ported from cells for removal via gallbladder and kidneys.
I prefer to use essential oils to help support and clean the liver along with
bile to allow fat to be absorbed to make new liver cells. Remember that the
liver replaces itself every eight weeks and weighs 4.6 pounds—that takes a
lot of fat. If you can’t make adequate bile because your liver is dirty or you
don’t have a gall bladder, it will be difficult for you to absorb enough fat to
keep your liver working correctly.
Liver Cleanse: Make a tea and drink every bedtime for three months: Place
5–7 drops of Dr. Tennant’s Liver Cleanse Essential Oils into a cup of hot
water. Add one tablespoon of coconut oil and 1–3 teaspoons of local raw
honey. You may drink hot or add ice.
NOTE: Therapeutic essential oils come from plants. The fragrance of each
oil can be made in a laboratory, but they have no therapeutic effects.
Essential oils contain mixtures of hundreds of compounds. For example,
orange oil has thirty-four alcohols (a form of chemical that the body
needs), thirty esters, twenty aldehydes, fourteen ketones, ten carboxylic
acids, and thirty-six terpenes. This cannot be duplicated in a lab. Do not
purchase your oils at a health food store since 95 percent of oils there have
no therapeutic effect! You can get the oil blend for a liver cleanse by
calling my office at 972-580-1156.
Vitamin B12
According to John V. Dommisse, MD, an expert in vitamin B12
(cyanocobalamin) deficiency and therapy, the psychiatric conditions most
associated with vitamin B12 deficiency include toxic brain syndrome,
paranoia, violence, and depression. There is a well-documented
association between B12 deficiency and dementia. In an article entitled
“Subtle Vitamin B12 Deficiency in Psychiatry: A Largely Unnoticed but
Devastating Relationship?” published in Medical Hypotheses 2, Dommisse
expresses the opinion that most cases of so-called “Alzheimer’s dementia”
(“idiopathic dementia”) are actually cases of B12 deficiency. According to
Dommisse, B12 deficiency can cause depression and even, in certain
cases, bipolar-1 disorder (manic-depressive illness) and, more commonly,
bipolar-2 disorder (cyclothymic personality).
The fourth and last major psychiatric effect of this deficiency is paranoid
ideation and even paranoid psychosis (but not schizophrenia).
A major point by this author is that the range used to establish serum
vitamin B12 deficiency in conventional medicine (less than 200 to 400
pg/ml) is far too low. When peripheral neuropathy occurs in this range, it
is often permanent. The author suggests that 1,000 to 2,000 pg/ml may be
the optimal range. The hydroxy- and methyl- forms of vitamin B12 are
generally recommended.
http://www.westonaprice.org/children/childviolence.html
One should be mindful of the relationship between B12 and folate (folic
acid). Both are needed for methylation, and a deficiency of either can
produce anemia. Always correct both if deficient. If the blood test for
homocystein is high, always use the methyl forms of B6, B12, and folate.
Glutathione
Glutathione is known as the master antioxidant (electron donor), the
director of the immune system, and the director of detoxification.
The least expensive way to restore and maintain your glutathione levels is
to drink raw milk or make milkshakes from non-denatured whey protein.
This usually means that the whey was obtained from non-pasteurized (raw)
milk.
Summary
We get well and stay well by making new cells that work. To make a new
cell requires -50 millivolts of energy and the raw materials to make a cell.
If you have toxic things or infections nearby, the new cell will be damaged
as well.
The primary rule you should remember is that anything you put into the
body that cannot be used to make a new cell or provide voltage for that
cell must be eliminated from the body at some cost to the system. That
includes chemicals used as pharmaceuticals or preservatives in our food,
toxins in our environment, materials used for dental fillings that leech
chemicals like mercury, chemicals in things we put on our skin like soap
and cosmetics, dirty air we breathe, etc.
The basic diet must be one that has not been raised/cultivated with
chemicals and has not been processed to increase the shelf life. Do most of
your shopping around the perimeter of the grocery store where you find
produce. If it contains something you can’t pronounce, don’t consume/use
it.

6 Hypothyroidism
In this chapter, we are going to discuss the causes of a major epidemic in
the United States. The symptoms of the epidemic—obesity, hypertension,
diabetes, high cholesterol, heart attacks, depression, etc.—are well known.
However, the root causes of these miseries are not well known.
Another cause of obesity is high glycemic index foods. These are foods
that are rapidly digested and results in a spike of insulin. The excess
glucose is stored in fat cells and the body cannot use this glucose when
insulin is present as discussed in the chapter on nutrition. The high
glycemic index foods are primarily the white foods: white flour, white
rice, white sugar and white potatoes. Instead you should eat whole grain
flour, whole grain rice, stevia, and sweet potatoes.
Iodine Deficiency
Most people know that the thyroid uses lots of iodine to make thyroid
hormone. The thyroid gland gets to use iodine before other parts of the
body. However, most people don’t know that every gland in the body that
secretes something needs large amounts of iodine. Iodine is the “truck”
that carries the secretion from inside the cell to outside the cell. Thus most
cysts in the body are due to iodine deficiency as the secretions are
accumulated inside the cells to form cysts.
Note that this list is the same organs that typically get cancer!
The Japanese consume a lot of seaweed and thus a lot of iodine. They have
the least amount of cancer of anyone on the planet. The only kind of
cancer they have in excess is stomach cancer. Iodine is inactivated by
nitrates (found in processed meats like bologna and hot dogs), and when
they eat processed meats, this inactivates the iodine in their stomachs,
allowing them to get stomach ulcers and stomach cancer. It is apparent that
iodine is protective against cancer.
Iodine kills all single-celled organisms like viruses, bacteria, fungi, and
protozoa.
The parts of the body exposed to the outside world have iodine levels
thirty times the blood level. Iodine is the immune system’s “bug killer.”
That is, it is the bug killer for bugs trying to enter the body. For example,
if you breathe in a flu virus and you have enough iodine in the lining of
your nose, it will kill the virus before it has a chance to enter the system.
Nitrates (hot dogs, bologna, processed meats) inactivate iodine and allow
Helicobacter pylori to grow in the stomach and cause stomach
ulcers/cancer.
The energy in fats is contained in their double bonds. These double bonds
are protected by iodine.
Fetal iodine is five times the level in the mother. Low maternal iodine can
lead to miscarriage, birth defects, failure to thrive, mental retardation, etc.
There are only micrograms of iodine in table salt and some of the
companies are using bromine instead of iodine because it is cheaper (and
toxic). Sea salt contains almost no iodine! Adults need 12–15 milligrams
of iodine per day! Because of our farming practices, there is very little
iodine in our soils. About the only people in the United States with normal
levels of iodine are those who eat seaweed frequently.
Every person should be taking iodine to prevent infections and cancer. One
can take it orally since it doesn’t go into the large intestine to kill the good
bacteria. It isn’t well absorbed through the skin.
Remember that you need iodine to protect you against infections and
cancer whether your thyroid is functioning normally or not. You also need
it to make every organ that secretes something work.
The numbers are references to medical articles from which the data was
taken. The left column is hypothyroid symptoms and the right is fluoride
poisoning symptoms. Note they are essentially the same!
The reference list takes up about twenty pages so they are not included in
this book. If you want them, go to the website listed above.
When more T-3 and T-4 are present, the pituitary stops making TSH. Thus
they are in a “teeter-totter” or feedback relationship.
When we do blood tests, we expect the TSH, T-3, and T-4 to be in the
normal range when the thyroid is functioning normally. If the TSH is high,
we would assume the T-3 and T-4 are too low and the pituitary is trying to
correct the situation. This would be called type I hypothyroidism.
If the TSH is low and the T-3 and T-4 are high, we would diagnose
hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Thus TSH tends to be the opposite
of the T-3 and T-4 if you are not balanced.
We doctors tend to order these tests. If they are normal, we tell you that
your thyroid is functioning just fine and don’t consider that your physical
findings are diagnostic of hypothyroidism. I am going to tell you why the
lab tests haven’t been working.
The active form of thyroid hormone is T-3. For a consistent thyroid
function throughout the day, mammals normally make eighty percent T-4
and almost twenty percent T-3. (We also make a small amount of T-1 and
T-2). Thus the T-4 must be converted to the active form of T-3. This
conversion requires iodine, selenium, zinc, iron, progesterone, cortisol, and
glutathione. If you are missing one of these, you can’t convert T-4 to T-3
but instead convert it to a fake hormone called RT-3 or Reverse T-3. RT-3
blocks a receptor site but doesn’t work. Thus you have normal levels of
TSH and T-4 (and perhaps normal levels of T-3), but the thyroid isn’t
functioning at the cell level!
You can’t absorb glutathione if you eat it. You must make it from three
amino acids. You can’t make amino acids if you don’t have stomach acid
to break your proteins into amino acids. Thus a person without stomach
acid will not have a functional thyroid system because that person can’t
make glutathione, and without glutathione, the thyroid doesn’t work in the
mitochondrial power station where it is used to keep voltages adequate.
This clearly explains a major problem I encounter. I tell my patients to get
off antacids and drugs that stop the production of stomach acid. They see
no connection between stomach acid and why they are chronically tired, so
they ignore my instructions and can’t figure out why they are too tired to
enjoy life. Their doctor tells them that it is okay to block stomach acid and
so it goes—a nation of people too tired to care and depressed because
without stomach acid, they can’t absorb zinc, and without zinc you can’t
make neurochemicals like serotonin and you can’t convert T-4 to T-3.
Thus we have a nation of people fat, tired, and depressed—all with normal
blood tests!
As you can see, the halogens are in a column in the periodic table of
elements.
The problem is that fluoride is a “bully.” Any time an atom of fluoride and
an atom of any other halogen are in the same vicinity, the fluoride will
displace the other halogen and take its place.
One problem is that our blood tests can’t tell the difference between the
real and the fake hormone. Another problem is that the fake one doesn’t
work. Thus your blood tests are normal but your body is really deficient of
functional thyroid hormone. This is called type II hypothyroidism. This
form of type II hypothyroidism is often due to glutathione deficiency.
A great book that discusses the medical literature about this subject is
Hypothyroidism Type II by Mark Starr, MD. Dr. Starr has made a major
contribution to the health epidemics that are ravishing our country!
Another book you should read on this
subject is Hypothyroidism, The
Unsuspected Illness by Broda Barnes,
MD.
Findings were:
1. Depletion of colloid from the follicles
2. Shrinkage of follicles
3. Disruption of follicular basement membrane associated with
edema and degeneration of the follicular epithelial cells
4. Increased follicular vascularity
5. Fatty degeneration in the inter-follicular connective tissue.
Estrogen dominance means that you have effectively more estrogen than
you do progesterone. That is true for female and males. Estrogen
dominance shuts down the thyroid as well as often being associated with
other issues such as breast and prostate cancer.
Over the last few years, I have encountered many patients that have low
basal temperature but no matter how much thyroid I give them, their
temperature remains low. It has become obvious that for about 20% of my
patients, basal temperature does not work to identify and correct
hypothyroidism.
I then took another look at the TSH test. It was invented in the late 1960s
and put in place in 1971. They used only 29 patients (not a statistically
adequate sample) to develop the normal. Normal was set as 1-10 and
doctors were told to adjust their patients dose so that the TSH test was in
this range. To get the test above 1, most patients had to have their dose of
thyroid medication cut in half! Their symptoms returned but were ignored
in order to get the blood test into the “normal” range. To this date, no
study has ever compared symptoms to the TSH test.
Eventually it was noted that the 1-10 range wasn’t working and it was
gradually changed. In addition, more sensitive procedures were developed
so that levels below 1 could be recognized. Currently most labs use 0.4 -
4.6 as normal.
Thus our labs are about ten years late in updating their normal range for
the TSH test. Assume your test comes back 4.0. The lab report says that
normal is 0.4-4.6 and thus your doctor will tell you that your thyroid is
working normally. However, with the updated normal of 0.3-2.0, you are
very hypothyroid!
There are other problems with the TSH. It is unreliable while undergoing
chemotherapy and with fever. The amount of TSH produced by the
pituitary is controlled primarily by the amount of T-4 made by your
thyroid gland. Thus the feedback mechanism of TSH/T-4 can be balanced
so that the levels of TSH and T-4 are normal with current normal values.
However, T-3 is the active form of hormone. So even with a normal
TSH/T-4 balance, if you can’t convert T-4 to T-3, you are still
hypothyroid.
In correcting hypothyroidism, one must first give enough T-4 to get the
TSH below 1 but above 0.3. Then one must be sure to correct the
vitamins/minerals to allow for conversion and add enough T-3 to get it
close to 4.0.
The following is quoted from the LabCorp website:
Spurious increase from antibovine TSH antibodies by double-
antibody technique has been reported. TSH may be affected by
glucocorticoids, dopamine, and by severe illness, and these remain
limitations even for the new, sensitive TSH assays. TSH
suppression in hypothyroidism with severe illness has been
reported with TSH increase with recovery. Normal TSH levels in
the presence of hypothyroidism have been reported with head
injury. Iopanoic acid, ipodate, and an antiarrhythmic drug,
amiodarone, cause changes in thyroid test results including
increases in T4, free T4, and TSH and decreases of T3. TSH is not
elevated in secondary hypothyroidism.
Giving T-3 by itself solves the problem of not being able to convert, but T-
3 has very little suppression of TSH. Thus patients often feel good on
sustained release T-3 but their TSH test can soar very high giving great
alarm to many physicians when they see the test so high.
D1 (and thus conversion of the inactive T-4 to the active T-3 is suppressed
by the following:
1. Physiological stress
2. Emotional stress
3. Depression
4. Dieting
5. Weight gain
6. Leptin resistance
7. Insulin resistance
8. Obesity
9. Diabetes
10. Inflammation
11. Autoimmune diseases (dental and other infections)
12. Systemic illness
13. Chronic fatigue
14. Fibromyalgia
15. Chronic pain
16. Exposure to toxins
17. Plastics
Some studies state that the amount of TSH produced by the pituitary is
controlled by the amount of intra-pituitary T-3. Most doctors believe that it
is controlled by the systemic level of T-4. Generally when you find a high
TSH level and give supplemental T-4, the TSH decreases.
Lack of stomach acid to break proteins into amino acids including tyrosine
means that you don’t have the amino acid necessary to make adrenalin and
thyroid hormone (tyrosine).
One word of caution: when you give large doses of T-3 without any T-4,
the TSH often rises to dramatic levels. I have seen them in the 80’s. This
makes many internists, family practitioners, and pediatricians spastic even
if the patient feels good.
22 pairs were matched from either the first or the third tertile of
HOMA%S of a cohort of 353 euthyroid subjects with normal
glucose metabolism who did not take any medication. The T3/rT-
3-ratio was compared in the matched pairs. The T3/ rT-3-ratio was
significantly increased in the insulin resistant subjects compared to
their insulin sensitive partners (8.78 ± 0.47 versus 7.33 ± 0.33,
p=0.019). Furthermore the T3/rT-3-ratio was lower in men
compared to women (p for the within-subject effect=0.046) both in
the insulin sensitive and the insulin resistant subjects. Here we
show that the T3/rT-3-ratio, which is supposed to reflect the tissue
thyroid hormone metabolism, is significantly increased in insulin
resistant subjects. This further supports a link between thyroid
function and IR.
The problem is we want to know how much FT-3 we have relative to the
amount of rT-3. To be in best health, we want at least twenty times as
much T-3 as rT-3, so a ratio greater than 20.
Labs report both FT-3 and rT-3 in two different ways, so we often have to
do some conversion to make sure we are comparing apples to apples. Free
T3 is sometimes reported as a number that is in the hundreds, like 332, and
other times it is a number with only one digit before the decimal, like 3.3.
Reverse T3 is reported differently also. Sometimes it is a number that is in
the hundreds, like 240, and other times it is a two digit number like 24.
We have to make adjustments when the labs don’t do it the way we like!
So this is how to calculate the FT-3: Rt-3 ratio:
~take the FT-3 result
~multiply it by 100 if it’s not in the hundreds
~multiply it by 10 if the rT-3 is in the hundreds
~divide by the rT-3 result
Example #1
Free T3 - 476
RT3 - 24
The FT3 is in the hundreds and the RT3 is a two digit number, so this is
the simplest example.
This ratio is 476 / 24 = 19.8 (under 20, this means you have an RT3 issue
although a very slight one)
Example #2
FreeT3 - 3.89
RT3 - 12
The FT3 is not in the hundreds so we have to multiply by 100.
This ratio is 3.89 * 100 / 12 = 32.4 (over 20, good)
Example #3
Free T3 - 389
RT3 - 312
The RT3 is in the hundreds so we have to multiply by 10. This ratio is 389
* 10 / 312 = 12.5 (well under 20, definite RT3 problem)
Example #4
Free T3 - 3.9 rT3 - 220
The FT3 is not in the hundreds, so we have to multiply by 100 AND the
RT3 is in the hundreds so we have to multiply by 10, so we have to
multiply by 1000 overall.
This ratio is 3.9 × 1000 / 220 = 17.7 (under 20, not good)
Just remember that you need the FT-3 to have one more digit to the left of
the decimal place than the rT3 before you divide the FT-3 by the rT-3. So
look at the rT-3 and see how many digits are to the left of the decimal.
Move the decimal of the FT-3 to the right to give it one more digit to the
left of the decimal than the rT-3. Now do the math. Example: FT-3 is 2.6.
The rT-3 is 465. The rT-3 has 3 digits to the left of the decimal so we will
move the FT-3 decimal to the right so it has one more digit or 2600. Then
2600/465 = 5.59. Since this is less than 20, you have a problem.
If you only have a T-3 reading rather than an FT-3 reading then the ratio of
T-3 to rT-3 needs to be 10 or greater.
For a more thorough explanation of these enzymes and the references that
support these comments, see www.nahypothyroidism.org. Click on the
deiodinases tab.
So what’s a doctor to do? The best advice I can give is to push the TSH
down to 0.3 with T-4 and push the FT-3 up to 4.0 with T-3. Look at the
FT-3/rT-3 ratio and correct if necessary. Be sure to supplement with the
vitamins and minerals necessary to convert T-4 to T-3.
This approach may not be optimal but it is defensible when the state
medical board challenges whether you are practicing “standard of care”
medicine.
Blood pressure, voltage, and symptoms are good guides of where you are
on this spectrum. As you fill your body with mucin and your adrenals
make more adrenalin, your blood pressure tends to go up to push through
the mucin and, in response, to the adrenalin. However, as your adrenals
fail, your diastolic blood pressure tends to drop below normal. You will
also notice that you feel dizzy as you first stand up from lying down
because you don’t have the adrenalin to compensate for your change in
position and gravity.
When you are making mucin and depositing it into the omentum and the
parts of the body described above, you appear to be obese. In addition,
when you are hypothyroid, you crave sugar and caffeine to give you a little
“spark.” This extra sugar does add fat to the mix, particularly if you drink
high fructose sodas.
The entire endocrine system depends upon adequate thyroid hormone to
function and make other hormones. Most of the hormones are made from
cholesterol. When the liver notices that you are hormone deficient, it
makes more cholesterol to help you make more hormones. Suppressing the
liver’s ability to make cholesterol further reduces your hormone levels.
As you can see, all the features of metabolic syndrome X are features of
hypothyroidism. This explains the epidemics of hypertension, diabetes,
obesity, high cholesterol, heart attacks, strokes, depression, ADHD,
anxiety, chronic fatigue, and cancer that plague Americans.
In 1919, Goldemberg in Argentina also noted that people who drank the
local water with high levels of fluoride developed goiters. He reviewed the
literature and concluded that hypothyroidism was caused more by high
levels of fluoride than low levels of iodine. In 1926 he reported on his use
of fluoride to treat hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroids).
In 1932, Machoro (Italy) used sodium fluoride in the successful treatment
of hyperthyroidism. In 1932, Wilhelm May (Germany) also started
fluoride therapy in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, and in 1933,
Gorlitzer von Mundy (Austria) reported more on fluoride’s effect on the
thyroid.
1941 – Wilson (UK) reports in the Lancet on his findings that mottling of
teeth is prevalent in the same areas in the UK that had previously been
prevalent with goiter.
1952 – In the court case Reynolds Metals Corp. versus Paul Martin
hypothyroidism caused by fluoride is documented.
1953 – Wadwhani (India) reports that fluoride is concentrated in the
thyroid glands of rats consuming 0.9mg fluoride per day.
1957 – Galetti et al. treat hyperthyroid patients with fluoride at daily doses
lower than those estimated being the current average intake in the United
States and documents a significant reduction in protein-bound iodine, as
well as an overall reduction of iodine and a reduction of iodine uptake by
the thyroid gland.
1959 – Jentzer again shows reduced iodine levels in the pituitary gland
under the influence of fluorides.
1962 – Steyn (Africa) reports that drinking water containing “as little as 1
to 2 ppm of fluorine can cause serious disturbances of general health and
especially in normal thyroid gland function and in the normal processes of
calcium-phosphate metabolism (parathyroid function).”
1991 – Lin Fa-Fu et al. reports that a low iodine intake coupled with
“high” (0.88ppm) fluoride intake exacerbates the central nervous lesions
and the somatic developmental disturbance of iodine deficiency. The
authors consider the possibility that “excess” fluoride ions affected normal
de-iodination. Fluorides caused increase of reverse T-3 (rT-3) and elevated
TSH levels, as well as increased I131 uptake (see: Bachinskii et al., 1985).
The point is that you must avoid fluoride if you are to be healthy. Don’t
sacrifice your health to avoid a few cavities.
One thing that will help detoxify the fluoride is boron. Boron is also
present in turmeric.
Paradoxical Hypothyroidism
A minority of people with hypothyroidism are skinny, have a rapid
heartbeat, and suffer tremors and anxiety. The only way to diagnose
hypothyroidism in them is the temperature and the fact that their
symptoms disappear with thyroid therapy. Thyroid is one of the few
diseases where too little hormone or too much hormone can give you
exactly the same symptoms! The temperature is the key to figuring out
what is happening.
It is quite common for patients to feel great on their thyroid hormones until
their doctor does blood tests. The tests show a low TSH suggesting they
are taking too much thyroid hormone. The TSH is low because both the
real hormone they are taking and the fake fluoride hormone reduce the
TSH. Their doctor tells them to reduce or stop their thyroid pills because
the TSH is low. They feel terrible, but their doctor pays attention to the
faulty blood test and not to the patients’ symptoms!
Treating Hypothyroidism
You will need to take thyroid hormone as well as correct your iodine
levels as discussed above. There is some argument about whether to use
synthetic thyroid hormones like Synthroid (levothyroxine) or take a
naturally occurring hormone like desiccated thyroid hormone. The best
known brand name for desiccated thyroid hormone is Armour Thyroid. It
is desiccated pork thyroid. (After over one hundred years, Forest Labs quit
making Armour Thyroid in 2009 and reformulated it later. However,
desiccated thyroid is available from RLC Labs under the trade names
Nature-Throid and Westhroid.)
Desiccated thyroid hormone contains T1, T2, T-3, and T-4 in the natural
balance. Synthroid contains only synthetic T-4. Remember that the active
form of thyroid is T-3. Also remember that fluoride inhibits the conversion
of T-4 to T-3. Thus it can be difficult to find the right dose of Synthroid,
especially since doctors are trained to find the correct dose using blood
tests that are inactivated by fluoride and have outdated normal values.
There are synthetic T-3 hormones available like Cytomel. The problem
with giving just T-3 is that it is short lived. If you take enough of it to
correct your needs for hormones, you will often have spells during the day
in which you feel hyper and jittery and other times when you are
exhausted. One of the advantages of desiccated thyroid hormone is that it
can slowly convert T1, T2, and T-4 to T-3 as needed. Many patients have
been converted from Synthroid to desiccated thyroid hormone and feel
much better.
Synthroid has been recalled by the FDA multiple times for containing an
amount of thyroid hormone different from the label. The FDA also posted
that it cannot recommend Synthroid since it has never been tested! (See
letter from FDA to Synthroid manufacturer)
Synthetic hormones are usually dosed in micrograms. Desiccated thyroid
hormone is measured in grains or milligrams. One grain is approximately
60 mg. In many cultures, a grain is a unit of measurement of mass that is
based upon the mass of a single seed of a typical cereal. Historically in
Europe, the average masses of wheat and barley grain were used to define
units of mass. Since 1958, the grain or troy grain (Symbol: gr.) measure
has been defined in the International System of Units as precisely
64.79891 milligrams. However, it is common to round it off to 60
milligrams instead of 65 milligrams.
Most adults who have been consuming fluoride will need to take about
three grains (180 milligrams) of desiccated thyroid hormone per day.
However, if you start with that much, you will “blow a gasket.” By that I
mean that you will feel jittery, have a fast heartbeat, an increase in blood
pressure, and just feel terrible. Thus you must start slowly and work up,
giving your body time to make new mitochondria to use the hormone.
Start with one-quarter grain (15 mg) in the morning and again at about
3:00 p.m. for a total of one-half grain (30 mg/day). After 2-4 weeks, repeat
the TSH, FT-3 and rT-3 and adjust as necessary.
As you continue increasing the dose, nothing much will happen for the
first two months, so don’t be discouraged. After about two months, your
energy will start to rise. Notice that it often takes about six months to
achieve the correct dose.
The mucin does not tend to leave the body until the thyroid dose is normal.
That is about six months. Most of the weight loss happens between the six
and twelfth month. Generally speaking, you will be at your ideal weight at
the end of a year if you are simultaneously correcting stomach acid
production, avoiding foods you are allergic to, and stop consuming high
fructose corn syrup and white foods. However, you will likely not lose
weight unless you exercis. You will have to correct any adrenal
insufficiency and correct mineral, vitamin, and glutathione levels as well.
It is not uncommon for patients to require up to five grains (300 mg) of
desiccated thyroid per day or the equivalent of compounded T-4/T-3 to
achieve normal values and feel good. However, I don’t give more than 180
mg/day without carefully reviewing whether there is compliance for the
other things mentioned above.
WARNING!
Many are tempted to ramp up the dose of thyroid hormone too fast. They
are impatient to get rid of the fatigue and extra pounds and do not pay
attention to not increasing the dose by more than one-half grain (30 mg)
(T-4/T-3 25/6.2) per month. This can be dangerous or even fatal! Don’t do
it! The common symptoms that you are taking too much thyroid hormone
are:
1. Anxiety
2. Confusion or disorientation
3. Heart palpitations
4. An irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
5. High blood pressure (hypertension)
6. A rapid heart rate (tachycardia)
7. Seizures
8. Strokes
9. Coma
10. Death
If you develop any of these symptoms while you are taking thyroid
hormone, reduce your dose or stop taking it until you can talk to your
doctor or see an emergency room doctor. You can have problems if you
just stop taking it altogether as well. Let your doctor help you adjust the
dosage.
Summary
Thyroid hormone is pivotal in good health. Cells cannot perform correctly
without having −20 to −25 millivolts. Neither can they perform their
chemical reactions correctly if the temperature is too low. Forty percent of
T-3 is used by the cell to maintain body temperature and sixty percent is
used to maintain body voltage. Thus without enough functional thyroid
hormone, your cells can’t work correctly and you will be fatigued and sick.
Unfortunately, doctors are trained to only look at lab tests with outdated
normals and ignore your symptoms. Fluoride, soy, and other toxins shut
down your thyroid gland and make fake thyroid hormone.
It is very hard to feel normal unless you get the thyroid and adrenal levels
normal.
7 Cholesterol and Heart Disease
Because understanding how medical studies are manipulated to
confuse doctors and others on the efficacy of drugs, I am repeating the
information about absolute risks versus relative risks in this chapter.
It is also discussed in another chapter.
If six out of one hundred get a disease and die, the AR (absolute risk) is
6/100 or 0.06 or 6 percent.
Absolute risk reduction is the difference between two absolute risks in two
groups. In the above example, if people take a drug and only four out of
one hundred get the disease and die, the ARR is 6% - 4% = 2% (0.02).
Two lives are saved out of one hundred.
ARR compares the number of people who will benefit from intervention to
the total number of people being considered.
Relative risks are based on the ratio of two absolute risk numbers. When
using relative risks, the absolute risk levels for the experimental and
control groups may not be known. If taking a new drug reduces the
number of disease deaths from six out of one hundred (6%) to four out of
one hundred (4%), then the relative risk difference is 33 percent (0.33)
because 4 percent is 33 percent less than 6 percent. The absolute risk
difference is 2 percent (6% - 4%). However, 33 percent sounds much
better than 2 percent.
This ignores the fact that 0.02 percent of those who chewed bubble gum
had a heart attack while 0.04 percent of those that did not have the same
event. Certainly one case different between the two groups is not
significant. However, it can be reported as a relative risk of fifty percent.
This is a significant problem in that almost all medical studies are now
reported with relative risk instead of absolute risk. This sleight-of-hand
reporting is the primary way that physicians are tricked into believing that
drugs work.
This graph is from the MRFIT study and shows deaths versus cholesterol
levels. It assumes a current benchmark of 200 mg/100 milliliters.
“Is Relationship Between Serum Cholesterol and Risk of Premature Death
from Coronary Heart Disease Continuous and Graded? Findings in
356,222 Primary Screenees of the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial
(MRFIT),” Stamler, J., Wentworth, D., and Neaton, J.D., JAMA (1986
Nov 28), 256(20): 2823–8, ISSN: 0098-7484.
Out of two thousand people with cholesterol over 200 mg/ 100 milliliters,
there will be one additional death each year from CHD as compared to two
thousand people with “normal cholesterol.” This means that 99.95 percent
of the population would not benefit from efforts (diet and/or drugs) to
reduce blood serum cholesterol levels.
This graph is the same data as above except the data line has been trended
and the y-axis extended to make it more visual how little difference
cholesterol makes in deaths per thousand.
To put it another way, for 1,999 out of 2,000 individuals each year, it
makes no difference whether they have elevated cholesterol or normal
cholesterol in terms of whether they develop coronary heart disease!
Clearly it doesn’t make much sense to focus so much time, energy, and
money on the subject of cholesterol. Despite the science, the politics of
medicine says that doctors should lose their license if they don’t put
patients with “elevated” cholesterol on statin drugs. The American Heart
Association states that you are at high risk of coronary heart disease if
your cholesterol level is above 240. However, the study showed that the
cholesterol of 240 is only 0.5percent more likely to have a heart attack
than those with the cholesterol of 200! Economics versus Science at work
again!
Current guidelines suggest that anyone with cholesterol over 180 should be
put on statin drugs. If you have a heart attack, you are put on statins no
matter how low your cholesterol already is.
Statin drugs cost between $900 and $1,400 per year per person. This
means that we waste about $12.5 billion per year in therapies that are not
supported by science for cholesterol treatment alone. Now expand this into
all areas of medicine. It then becomes easy to see why Americans spend
more money on health care than anyone in the world and yet have
outcomes equivalent to Third World countries.
Often we are caught between doing what we know is right and being sued
for malpractice. Doctors often choose doing what we know is wrong to
enable us to keep our license and our reputation for integrity, our homes,
money, etc., that we have worked years to achieve. Only a few states offer
physicians the ability to let their patients choose “standard of practice”
care or “scientifically proven” care.
I am going to prove to you that the medical literature does not support the
theory that cholesterol has anything significant to do with coronary artery
disease. To do so, I must first talk about why we doctors became confused
about the role of cholesterol and fats in causing heart attacks and strokes.
It is known that heart attacks and strokes happen when a substance made
primarily of calcium and cholesterol is found in the wall of an artery. This
is called “plaque.” Over time, the plaque can enlarge and cause turbulence
in the flow of blood over it. When a blood clot forms suddenly on the
plaque, blood can no longer flow and the tissue beyond the plaque/clot
dies for lack of blood and oxygen.
Because the plaque contains cholesterol, it was theorized that high levels
of cholesterol in the blood leak through the walls of the arteries causing
the plaques. It was assumed that consuming cholesterol would raise the
levels of cholesterol in the blood. This theory was confirmed (fraudulently,
it turns out) with the prolific work of a physiologist named Ancel Keys.
(Note: Dr. Keys’ name is spelled various ways on the Internet such as
Ansel, Ancel, Keys, Keyes, but in Time magazine and in his published
articles, it is spelled “Ancel Keys.”)
In 1956, Dr. Keys said, “In the adult man the serum cholesterol level is
essentially independent of the cholesterol intake over the whole range of
human diets.”
He published nearly one hundred papers from 1985 to 1995 while he was
at the University of Minnesota and was instrumental in convincing doctors
that cholesterol causes heart disease. One of his papers stated, “It can be
concluded that this study suggests that mean serum
cholesterol is the major risk factor in explaining
cross-cultural differences in coronary heart disease.”
1993.
“Sixteen cohorts of men aged 40–59 years at entry were examined with the
measurement of some risk factors and then followed up for mortality and
causes of death for 25 years. These cohorts were located in the USA (1),
Finland (2), the Netherlands (1), Italy (3), the former Yugoslavia (5),
Greece (2), and Japan (2), and included a total of 12,763 subjects. Large
differences in age-adjusted coronary heart disease death rates were found,
with extremes of 45 per 1,000 in 25 years in Tanushimaru, Japan, to 288
per 1,000 in 25 years in East Finland.
This article included the graphic. It shows that the more fat you eat, the
more heart attacks occur. It shows that people in the United States eat the
most fat and have the most heart attacks. (It does differentiate between
good fat and plastic trans fats. (Since Americans eat more processed foods
with trans fats, one could explain the findings on that alone.)
However, Keys hid the data that did not support his intention to prove that
eating fat causes heart attacks. On the right you see all the data. Here you
see that those who ate the most fat had fewer heart attacks.
From The Cholesterol Myth by Uffe Ravnskow, MD, PhD, New Trends
Publishing
Thus the article that induced doctors to believe that eating fat causes heart
attacks is fraudulent! That also draws suspicion on the integrity of Dr.
Keys’ eighty-plus other articles. His prolific publications while he was at
the University of Minnesota versus what he said in 1997 after he left that
position makes one wonder.
After Keys’ fraudulent article(s) began to convince doctors that fats cause
heart disease, studies were begun to show that drugs (called “statins”)
reduce cholesterol in the blood and reduce coronary heart disease. One of
the first influential studies became known as the “4S Study” for “Four
Scandinavian Country Study” since it was done in those countries.
Abstract:
AIMS: To analyze (1) the prognostic importance of clinical
findings and lipids in patients with a previous myocardial
infarction and (2) the relative and absolute benefit of simvastatin
(Zocor) in patients at low, medium, and high predicted risk.
Doctors latched onto the authors’ conclusion that treating patients with
simvastatin (Zocor) to lower cholesterol reduced the risk of having a heart
attack by forty-two percent! But wait a minute—look at what the results
actually are:
“During the double-blind study period 438 patients died, 256 (12%) in the
placebo group and 182 (8%) in the simvastatin group. ... This 42%
reduction in the risk of coronary death accounts for the improvement in
survival.”
They first say that the difference in survival was 12% − 8% = 4%. They
then call this a “42% reduction in risk” because they are reporting relative
risk and not absolute risk (8/12 = 0.67 = 67%). Thus they call this a “42%
reduction.”
Then the article says, “The Kaplan-Meier 6-year (70 months) probability
of survival was 87.7% in the placebo group and 91.3% in the simvastatin
group.” Thus the absolute risk is 91.3 - 87.7 = 3.6%. Thus again we see
that it is more impressive to say there is a 42% reduction in heart attacks
with the drug than to say that there is a 3.6% reduction. One can argue that
both are true. Even though it is misleading, the authors tried (successfully,
I might add) to convince doctors that using the drug Zocor significantly
reduces the risk of heart attack.
The problem is that doctors are busy and tend to read the authors’
conclusions instead of reading the fine print in the article. In addition,
doctors don’t understand the statistical terms used in analyzing medical
studies.
Another way to look at the data is to take the RR number and divide it by
one plus that number. That gives you the odds that the drug worked.
What this means is that the odds that Zocor reduced deaths from heart
attacks in the low-risk group were a 27 percent chance it was helpful and a
73 percent chance Zocor didn’t work. In the medium-risk group, the odds
that Zocor helped were 28 percent and the odds it didn’t work were 78
percent. In the high-risk group, the odds that Zocor helped were 30 percent
and the odds it didn’t were 70 percent.
“During the double-blind study period 438 patients died, 256 (12%) in the
placebo group and 182 (8%) in the simvastatin group (table 2); the relative
risk was 0.70 (95% CI 0.58-0.85, p=0.0003) with simvastatin.”
What this means is that the odds that Zocor reduced the risk of dying from
a heart attack were 42 percent and the odds that Zocor didn’t reduce the
risk of dying from a heart attack were 58 percent. This is because 0.7 / 1 +
0.7 = 0.7/1.7 = 0.42. You calculate the odds that the drug worked by
dividing the relative risk by one plus the relative risk.
The authors’ conclusion that there was a 42 percent reduction in the risk of
coronary death is not what the study really says. However, drug
salespeople convinced doctors that if they put their patients on Zocor, 42
percent fewer would have a heart attack. Doctors quickly started
prescribing statin drugs believing that 42 percent of their patients wouldn’t
get heart attacks instead of a 3.6 percent reduction.
With Keys’ fraudulent Seven Country Study and a faulty conclusion by the
authors of the 4S study combined with aggressive marketing by the
pharmaceutical companies, doctors became convinced that cholesterol was
the cause of coronary artery disease and must be lowered in almost all
people. What do other studies show?
The researchers recruited 5,209 men and women between the ages of thirty
and sixty-two from the town of Framingham, Massachusetts, and began
the first round of extensive physical examinations and lifestyle interviews
that they would later analyze for common patterns related to
cardiovascular disease development. Since 1948, the subjects have
continued to return to the study every two years for a detailed medical
history, physical examination, and laboratory tests.

This chart shows that the level of blood cholesterol was completely
independent of the amount of cholesterol consumed. No matter whether
they ate, only 43 mg of cholesterol or 925 mg of cholesterol or anywhere
in between, the average blood cholesterol did not change.
Today, after forty years, the current director of this study admits:
“In Framingham, Mass., the more saturated fat one ate, the more
cholesterol one ate, the more calories one ate, the lower the person’s serum
cholesterol. ... [W]e found that the people who ate the most cholesterol, ate
the most saturated fat, and ate the most calories weighed the least and were
the most physically active.”
Thus we see that eating fat doesn’t make you fat (unless it’s trans fats).
Eating enough good fat to make functional new cells and hormones makes
you healthy.
This study of over four thousand patients clearly shows the following:
1. There is no relationship whatsoever between the amount of
cholesterol eaten and the levels of blood cholesterol.
2. There is no relationship whatsoever between the amount of
saturated fat (animal fat, coconut oil, palm oil, etc.) eaten and the
levels of blood cholesterol.
3. There is no relationship whatsoever between the amount of total
fat eaten and the levels of blood cholesterol.
4. “Serum cholesterol and triglyceride values were not positively
correlated with selection of dietary constituents.”
So the five thousand-plus patients in the Framingham Study and the four
thousand patients in the Tecumseh Study show that you can eat as much or
little cholesterol, animal fat, or saturated fats as you like and it will have
no effect on your blood cholesterol levels. Note that these studies do not
address the consumption of “plastic” trans fats.
Saturated Fat
Okay, so I’ve been misled about whether eating fat affects my cholesterol
level. Does it affect whether I will have a heart attack? I could only find
two studies that considered the effect of eating saturated fats on coronary
artery disease.
The final report noted that the “Prudent Dieters” had average serum
cholesterol of 220 mg/l compared to 250 mg/l in the eggs-and-meat group.
There were eight deaths from heart disease among the “Prudent Dieters”
group, and none among those who ate meat three times a day.
http://www.westonaprice.org/modern diseases/
This study shows that you are less likely to die from heart disease if you
eat saturated fat like butter, eggs, and beef instead of corn oil, margarine,
cereal, chicken, and fish.
In this study published in the British Medical Journal, 1965, patients who
had already had a heart attack were divided into three groups:
After two years, the corn oil group had thirty percent lower cholesterol, but
only fifty-two percent of them were still alive. The olive oil groups fared
little better—only fifty-seven percent were alive after two years. Of the
group that ate mostly animal fat, seventy-five percent were still alive after
two years. In patients who had already had a heart attack, eating animal fat
instead of polyunsaturated corn oil cut the risk of death from 24 percent
per year to 12.5 percent per year.
These two studies support the concept that you are less likely to have a
heart attack if you eat beef and eggs than if you eat chicken and fish!
Combine that with the certainty of the Framingham and Tecumseh studies
that your diet has nothing to do with your cholesterol level and it begins to
make the cholesterol theory of heart attacks fall apart!
When we talk about “blood cholesterol,” that really isn’t accurate. Since
cholesterol is insoluble in water, it cannot be suspended in blood but must
be carried by a protein. These proteins that carry cholesterol are called
“lipoproteins” and vary in size from large to small. Along with cholesterol,
these proteins carry other fats. These various fats are attached to glycerol,
and this unit is called a triglyceride because the fats are in units of three.
The fats carried to the cells as VLDL are used by the cells and leave some
LDL behind to be recycled to the liver to be made back into VLDL.
Saturated fats never become cholesterol. They are entirely separate
substances. The only connection between saturated fats and cholesterol is
that they both ride around the body in a lipoprotein since both are
insoluble in water. Thus eating red meat cannot possibly influence your
cholesterol level!
If you want to lower your LDL, you can just eat fewer carbohydrates.
Again, what you eat has absolutely no effect on your blood cholesterol.
However, you can change the calculations of the percentages of LDL or
HDL by changing your triglyceride level. Triglyceride levels change with
the amount of carbohydrates you eat.
The widely believed concept in coronary heart disease is that the portion of
cholesterol called low density lipoprotein (LDL), when elevated, goes
through the wall of the arteries and begins to build up as a cholesterol
plaque. It is believed that using medications (statin drugs) to keep the liver
from making cholesterol and thus lowering your blood cholesterol reduces
the risk of heart attacks by fifty percent. This theory is simply wrong. A
convincing argument against the current belief that cholesterol causes
heart attacks is made in the article:
1. Fact one: The liver does not use fats, saturated or otherwise to
make cholesterol.
2. Fact two: The liver does not make LDL; it makes VLDL.
3. Fact three: VLDL is converted into LDL through triglyceride
loss.
4. Fact four: VLDL levels and LDL levels are totally unrelated –
totally.
This means that: saturated fat intake has no affect on LDL levels.
There are several things wrong with the idea that LDL cholesterol goes
through the artery wall and causes a plaque leading to a heart attack:
If LDL or any portion of cholesterol is the cause of heart disease, its levels
should correspond to the amount of plaque seen in coronary angiography.
It doesn’t!
Published Abstract:
The Heart Protection Study (HPS), with over 20,500 subjects, is
the largest trial of statin therapy ever conducted. It provides
important and definitive new information on women, the elderly,
diabetics, and people with low baseline cholesterol pretreatment
and those with prior occlusive non-coronary vascular disease. It is
a prospective double blind randomized controlled trial with a 2 × 2
factorial design investigating prolonged use (>5 years) of
simvastatin 40 mg and a cocktail of antioxidant vitamins (650 mg
vitamin E, 250 mg vitamin C, and 20 mg beta-carotene).
The HPS specifically included patients with high risk for coronary
heart disease (CHD) but characteristics that excluded them from
participation in previous statin trials. Simvastatin 40 mg treatment
showed benefit across all patient groups regardless of age, gender,
or baseline cholesterol value and proved safe and well tolerated.
Results show a 12% reduction in total mortality, a 17% reduction
in vascular mortality, a 24% reduction in CHD events, a 27%
reduction in all strokes, and a 16% reduction in non-coronary
revascularizations.
Abstract:
It is interesting to note the difference in these two reports on the same data.
In the first one, relative risk is used to say there was a twenty-four percent
reduction in heart attacks. The second report tells us the absolute risk
reduction. It is 11.8 - 8.7 = 3.1 percent. Thus the drug simvastatin (Zocor)
reduced heart attacks by 3.1 percent, not 24 percent.
This study of atorvastatin (Lipitor) again shows that Lipitor has very little
effect in reducing heart attacks.
Published Abstract:
CONTEXT: Patients experience the highest rate of death and
recurrent ischemic events during the early period after an acute
coronary syndrome, but it is not known whether early initiation of
treatment with a statin can reduce the occurrence of these early
events.
The conclusions of these authors match the study in saying that Lipitor has
no effect on decreasing death from heart attacks. (Relative risk [RR], 0.84;
95% Confidence Interval [CI], 0. 70-1.00; P =.048). There were no
significant differences in risk of death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or
cardiac arrest between the atorvastatin (Lipitor) group and the placebo
group.
This means that the odds that Lipitor prevented death from heart attack
were forty-six percent and the odds that Lipitor didn’t work were fifty-four
percent.
Another large study was published in 2002 about the use of the statin drug
pravastatin (Pravachol).
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 4.8 years. During the trial, 32%
of usual care participants with and 29% without CHD started
taking lipid-lowering drugs. At year 4, total cholesterol levels were
reduced by 17% with pravastatin vs. 8% with usual care; among
the random sample who had LDL-C levels assessed, levels were
reduced by 28% with pravastatin vs. 11% with usual care. All-
cause mortality was similar for the 2 groups (relative risk [RR],
0.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.89-1.11; P =.88), with 6-
year mortality rates of 14.9% for pravastatin (Pravachol) vs.
15.3% with usual care. CHD event rates were not significantly
different between the groups (RR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.79-1.04; P
=.16), with 6-year CHD event rates of 9.3% for pravastatin and
10.4% for usual care.
Cardiac deaths were 10.4 − 9.3 = 1.1% difference in the treated vs.
untreated groups.
The odds calculation shows that the odds the drug worked were 49.7% and
the odds that Pravachol did not change the risk of death were 50.3%. The
odds that Pravachol reduced the changes of having a heart attack were 47.6
percent and the odds that the drug didn’t work were 52.4 percent.
When studies are done and there is no apparent benefit in taking the drug,
one can attempt to manipulate the data to try to show a benefit. Such an
attempt is called a “meta analysis.”
Published Abstract:
This is a meta-analysis. That means that they took many studies and tried
to combine them into one set of data. The odds that cholesterol-lowering
statin drugs caused damage to patients were 58.3 percent, and the odds
they didn’t damage patients were 41.7 percent. The odds that the drugs
reduced heart attacks/death were 42.5 percent and the odds they didn’t
help were 57.5 percent.
It should now be apparent that we doctors, and thus our patients, have been
manipulated to believe that cholesterol is the critical factor controlling
coronary artery disease when it is not. It has only minor effects that may
not be significant. We have also been manipulated into believing that
lowering cholesterol and/or LDL cholesterol reduces heart attacks.
Doctors, and thus their patients, have been misled into believing:
A careful reading of the medical literature shows that none of this is true.
The medical literature does not support the theory that cholesterol has
anything major to do with coronary heart disease. It would be one thing if
the billions of dollars wasted on statin drugs did no harm. However, that is
not true.
Published Abstract:
This study shows that the lower your cholesterol is, the higher your risk of
dying from all causes! It also shows that the earlier you have lower
cholesterol, the greater the risk of death.
In a study by H.E. Sartori, it was found that the cholesterol level present
when cancer is diagnosed is a good indicator of how long that patient will
live. This makes sense since the more disabled the liver is (and thus unable
to make enough cholesterol to heal), the more likely the patient is to die.
This should have some meaning to the cardiologists who are insisting on
getting cholesterol levels down below 100!
Over half of the dry weight of the brain is cholesterol. Since the brain
rebuilds itself every eight months, if you don’t have lots of cholesterol,
you can’t rebuild it.
Cholesterol is the raw material used to make all the hormones produced in
the adrenal cortex including glucocorticoids. They regulate blood sugar
levels and mineralocorticoids, which regulate mineral balance. Balanced
minerals are the on/off switches of the body.
Gaist and his associates found that statins cause pain in the hands and feet
of 26.4 percent of those who have taken statin drugs for two or more years:
Published Abstract:
Statin drugs inhibit the enzyme in the liver called HMG CoA-reductace.
This enzyme is necessary for manufacturing cholesterol and also to make
the vitamin CoQ10. This vitamin is necessary for muscle contraction,
including heart muscle function. It appears likely that this may contribute
to the epidemic of congestive heart failure in the United States.
Published Abstract:
Studies by Langsjoen support the suspicion that statins are the cause of the
epidemic of congestive heart failure in the United States:
Abstract:
Recent national recommendations have proposed that physicians
should titrate lipid therapy to achieve low-density lipoprotein
(LDL) cholesterol levels less than 1.81 mmol/L (<70 mg/dL) for
patients at very high cardiovascular risk and less than 2.59 mmol/L
(<100 mg/dL) for patients at high cardiovascular risk. To examine
the clinical evidence for these recommendations, the authors
sought to review all controlled trials, cohort studies, and case-
control studies that examined the independent relationship
between LDL cholesterol and major cardiovascular outcomes in
patients with LDL cholesterol levels less than 3.36 mmol/L (<130
mg/dL).
For those with LDL cholesterol levels less than 3.36 mmol/L
(<130 mg/dL), the authors found no clinical trial subgroup
analyses or valid cohort or case-control analyses suggesting that
the degree to which LDL cholesterol responds to a statin
independently predicts the degree of cardiovascular risk reduction.
Published studies had avoidable limitations, such as a reliance on
ecological (aggregate) analyses, use of analyses that ignore statins’
other proposed mechanisms of action, and failure to account for
known confounders (especially healthy volunteer effects). Clear,
compelling evidence supports near-universal empirical statin
therapy in patients at high cardiovascular risk (regardless of their
natural LDL cholesterol values), but current clinical evidence does
not demonstrate that titrating lipid therapy to achieve proposed
low LDL cholesterol levels is beneficial or safe.
It has become apparent that the real cause of coronary artery disease is
inflammation in the wall of the arteries. When the wall of the artery
becomes weak, the body uses a “putty” made of cholesterol and calcium to
strengthen the wall so it won’t blow out. We call that patch a “plaque.”
2. Oxidation of LDL
5. Modification of lipids
9. Plaque formation
The following things are considered to be the significant risk factors for
having a heart attack:
1. High cholesterol
2. Hypertension
3. Diabetes
4. Smoking
Arteries are lined on the inside with a single-cell-thick layer called the
endothelium. As you can see in the photo, it looks like a cobblestone
walkway. This fragile structure cannot tolerate being stretched very far.
Like the endothelium, the smooth muscle is weak and does not tolerate
being overstretched.
To protect the fragile endothelium and smooth muscle, they are
surrounded by a sheath made of a combination of elastin and collagen. It is
called the adventitia. This mixture gives it the ability to stretch just a little
to accommodate dilation of the smooth muscle to lower blood pressure but
not enough to allow the smooth muscle and endothelium to be damaged. It
functions like a bungee cord or cargo netting.
It is my theory that coronary artery disease starts with failure of the cargo
netting, not with the endothelium!
In this photo you can see the swollen endothelial cells that surround the
wound. In the wound you can see the beginnings of the scar. It is called a
“fatty streak.”
If we want to stop coronary artery disease, we must look at the things that
weaken the cargo netting (tunica adventitia).
The collagen in the cargo netting requires the following to be strong and
repair itself:
1. Vitamin C
2. Vitamin B6
3. Vitamin B12
4. Copper
5. Folic acid
6. Voltage
Remember that the leading risks for heart attacks are high cholesterol (a
sign of hypothyroidism), diabetes (a symptom of hypothyroidism),
hypertension (a symptom of hypothyroidism), and smoking.
The iodine/fluoride problem is a major issue. Iodine is necessary for
thyroid hormone production and function. Iodine is displaced by fluoride,
so consuming fluoride causes hypothyroidism that reduces the voltage
available for the adventitia to be strong.
The same is true for blood. If the body voltage is low, the magnetic field
around the RBC will be low, allowing clumping/clotting to occur.
Of course if the magnetic field around the red blood cells and in the
endothelium of the artery is low (low zeta potential), the cells and platelets
will clump, causing a heart attack.
Consuming omega-3 fats instead of trans fats improves the ability of cells
to hold a charge.
There are also side effects of antibiotics relating to killing of the good
bacteria in the gut. Also, the need for the body to remove antibiotics (they
can’t be used to make cells, so the body has to find a way to get rid of
them) places stress on the liver and kidneys and often damages them.
A little recognized effect of antibiotics is the formation of bacteria without
cell membranes call L-forms or pleomorphic forms.
It has been recently shown that these small particles that Enderlein called
protits are actually microcysts that are a communication system between
cells.
The cell wall is important for cell division which, in most bacteria, occurs
by binary fission. The lack of cell walls in L-forms means that division is
disorganized, creating a variety of cell sizes, from very tiny to very big.
In bacteria, cell division usually requires a cell wall and components of the
bacterial cytoskeleton. The ability of L-form bacteria to grow and divide in
the absence of both of these structures is highly unusual, and may
represent a form of cell division that was important in early forms of life.
This novel mode of division seems to involve the extension of thin
protrusions from the cell’s surface and these protrusions then pinching off
to form new cells.
The photo here shows fungal forms that have been named Mucor racemos
fresens and are associated with cancer. This phase contrast microscope
photo is from a patient with leukemia.
Generation In Cultures
L-forms can be generated in the laboratory from many bacterial
species that usually have cell walls, such as Bacillus subtilis or
Escherichia coli. This is done by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis
with antibiotics or treating the cells with lysozyme, an enzyme which
digests cell walls. The L-forms are generated in a culture medium that is
the same osmolarity as the bacterial cytosol (an isotonic solution), which
prevents cell lysis by osmotic shock. L-form strains can be unstable,
tending to revert to the normal form of the bacteria by regrowing a cell
wall, but this can be prevented by long-term culture of the cells under the
same conditions that were used to produce them. Some studies have
identified mutations that occur as these strains are derived from normal
bacteria. One such point mutation is in an enzyme involved in the
mevalonate pathway of lipid metabolism that increased the frequency of L-
form formation 1,000-fold. The reason for this effect is not known, but
may relate to this enzyme’s role in making a lipid that is important in
peptidoglycan synthesis. www.wikipedia.com
Koch’s Postulates
Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch (11 December
1843 – 27 May 1910) was a German physician.
He became famous for isolating Bacillus
anthracis (1877), the Tuberculosis bacillus
(1882) and the Vibrio cholerae (1883) and for
his development of Koch’s postulates
Koch’s postulates say that you find bacteria in someone that is ill and that
these bacteria are not normally found in healthy people. You collect the
bacteria from the person that is ill and grow them in a culture. You then
take the cultured bacteria and put them into a healthy person where it
causes the same disease as the person from which it came originally.
Many scientists and physicians ignore L-forms since they are not part of
the usual paradigm of bacteriology.
Most of the time, slides of bacteria are observed with a bright light
microscope at a reasonability low power, e.g. 40× and with a stain.
However, L-forms are difficult to see unless you use a phase contrast
microscope or a dark-field microscope at 1000 × power. When blood is
observed under these conditions, you will always find L-forms present!
As the voltage and oxygen levels drop in the blood, the L-forms change
from spherical to rod-shaped to yeast-shaped to fungal-shaped forms.
What does all this mean? What is the difference between a sore throat
caused by a streptococcus bacteria and illness caused by L-forms? First,
the immune system functions by surrounding the body with a shield of
iodine. It places 30x as much iodine in the parts of the body as in the
blood. Since iodine kills all microorganisms, it is the body’s first line of
defense against regular bacteria entering the body. If bacteria get past this
shield (usually because you are iodine deficient), they are consumed by
white blood cells and killed with ozone or hydrogen peroxide made by the
white blood cells.
Now assume you take antibiotics. They kill the streptococcus but some of
them morph into L-forms. Since these L-forms are not affected by
antibiotics, they assume the form dictated by their environment. If the
environment is low voltage, low oxygen, etc., they will assume a
pathological form. They can only exist in a pathological form if the
conditions allow it. However, as long as the conditions in the body allow
it, they will continue to duplicate themselves and morph to the form that
matches their environment. The only way you can alter that is to change
the environment or change the voltage.
Cells are 70% water. As their voltage drops, the oxygen levels drop. When
oxygen levels drop, many bacteria (called anaerobic bacteria) can grow.
This allows regular bacteria to grow and L-forms to become more
pathogenic. Thus whenever we have low voltage, we always have
infections taking advantage of us.
When bacteria are active in our bodies, they want to have lunch. Since
they don’t have teeth, they must dissolve our cells to get the nutrients.
These digestive enzymes get into our bloodstream and go throughout the
body. They attack cells distant from where the bacteria or L-forms exist.
The damage caused by these toxins is often diagnosed as an autoimmune
disease.
Along with lack of voltage adequate for the cells to function, chronic pain,
decreased oxygen, and bugs having lunch, a reduction in voltage causes
poor metabolism. Remember that voltage determines the amounts of
oxygen available. When oxygen is available, for each unit of fatty acids
one metabolizes, you get 36-38 molecules of ATP (charged batteries).
When oxygen is decreased, you get two molecules of ATP. It’s like your
car going from 38 miles to the gallon to 2 miles to the gallon!
1. Chronic pain
2. Inability of cells to do their job or take trash to the curb
3. Waste buildup
4. Diminished oxygen
5. Inefficient metabolism
6. Bugs having lunch--> autoimmune symptoms
7. Infections like strep throat, bladder infections, etc.
Oxidative Therapy
The terminology can be confusing when you talk about oxidation. We all
know that oxygen is good for us and not breathing for a few minutes is
disastrous. However, oxidation is bad for us. It is unfortunate that the term
“oxidation” was chosen for this process. What oxidation means is that an
electron stealer is “mugging you” and stealing your electrons. In the
process, the mugger hurts or kills you.
Oxidants are highly electronegative substances that can gain one or two
extra electrons by oxidizing a substance (O, F, Cl, Br). O2-->2 O−2 - 4 e-
(electron stealer needs four electrons). Ozone O3--> 3 O−2 – 6 e-
The Reductant transfers electrons to another substance, and is thus
oxidized itself. Because it “donates” electrons it is also called an electron
donor. (Li, Na, Mg, Fe, Zn, Al). These metals donate or give away
electrons readily. Fe (s) ----> Fe3+ + 3 e- (electron donor of three
electrons).
One can simulate the normal way the body kills bacteria by consuming or
getting IV hydrogen peroxide or ozone. Ozone is rarely given orally but is
often given rectally or vaginally. More commonly it is given
intravenously.
You must remember, however, that you are consuming electron stealers.
Taken over the long term, they can lower your body voltage and causes all
the problems listed above. If you start using oxidative therapy when your
total body voltage is already low, your body may not be able to deal with
all the dead bugs and it can make you feel terrible. Always check your
total body voltage before you start treatment with oxidative therapy like
ozone or hydrogen peroxide.
I have yet to find any virus, bacteria, yeast, fungus, parasite, or poison it
will not destroy. I have seen the fever and fatigue/muscle aches of flu
disappear in 2-3 hours using it.
Gallium
Gallium is a chemical element with symbol Ga and atomic number 31.
Elemental gallium does not occur in nature, but as the gallium(III)
compounds in trace amounts in bauxite and zinc ores. Gallium has no
known role in biology. Because gallium(III) and ferric salts behave
similarly in biological systems, gallium ions often mimic iron ions in
medical applications. Gallium-containing pharmaceuticals and radio-
pharmaceuticals have been developed. Gallium attacks most other metals
by diffusing into their metal lattice. Gallium must not be put into metal
containers. Only glass should be used.
The Ga(III) ion of soluble gallium salts tends to form the insoluble
hydroxide when injected in large amounts, and in animals precipitation of
this has resulted in renal toxicity. In lower doses, soluble gallium is
tolerated well, and does not accumulate as a poison.
Wikipedia
Perhaps the most important question is how much oral gallium should be
administered in treating atherosclerosis and kidney stones without the risk
of side effects. The answer is unknown at this time, although some people,
not being treated directly for atherosclerosis – but of an age group likely to
have atherosclerosis – have taken 120– 240 mg of oral gallium (as gallium
nitrate) daily for several months without evident side effects in the
treatment of arthritis. On several occasions much larger oral doses were
taken, with one case ten times larger resulting in diarrhea without further
sequela. The LD50 oral dose for mice of gallium nitrate is 2.15g per
kilogram (equivalent to 0.59g per kilogram elemental gallium). Ten
milligrams per kilogram oral dose produced no visible toxicity in dogs
despite monitoring bone marrow, kidneys and liver. Oral daily doses of
200–400 mg per kilogram of gallium chloride for 20–40 days in rats and
mice induced no visible signs of toxicity. Dosages and toxicity of various
gallium compounds are discussed in detail by Collery et al. The mode of
delivery should be oral and not intravenous, since mainlining gallium has
repeatedly been shown to cause reversible kidney damage, requiring
substantial rehydration.
Rife Frequencies
Royal Rife (1888-1971) while in medical school decided he was more
interested in bacteriology than medicine. He was
also interested in microscopy and studied in
Germany with Zeiss. He believed that
microorganisms could be killed with specific
frequencies that he called the “mortal oscillatory
rate” or MOR. He would place microorganisms
under a microscope and expose them to frequencies
from a frequency generator until they exploded. He
then recorded that as their MOR.
I have been given videos where microorganisms on agar plates have been
shielded over half the plate with aluminum foil and then exposed to Rife
frequencies. The half of the plate treated grew almost nothing while the
shielded half showed vigorous growth of the bacteria. I am intrigued by
the technology but I am not writing about it in this book to support its use.
Since awareness of Rife technology has become widespread, it is
important to know that most “Rife devices” sold today do not produce
Rife’s frequencies and thus would not be expected to work. Most
frequency generators are incapable of the MOR frequencies that Rife
found to work. You should not bet your life or your current health on
them.

Bacterium coli was the type species of the now invalid genus
Bacterium when it was revealed that the former type species
(“Bacterium triloculare”) was missing. Following a revision of
Bacteria it was reclassified as Bacillus coli by Migula in 1895 and
later reclassified in the newly created genus Escherichia, named
after its original discoverer.
Also note that “carcinoma” means that cancer involves the inner
layers (endoderm) or outer layers (ectoderm) of the body. Sarcoma
means the cancer is from the middle layers (mesoderm) of the
body. Sarcomas are bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, vascular, or
hematopoietic (blood) tissues. Sarcomas are relatively rare. Most
cancers are carcinomas.
The term “virus” was not in general usage during Rife’s work in
the 1930s. Organisms that could not be cultured or seen with a
microscope were called “filterable bacteria”. Louis Pasteur was
unable to find a causative agent for rabies and speculated about a
pathogen too small to be detected using a microscope. In 1884, the
French microbiologist Charles Chamberland invented a filter
(known today as the Chamberland filter or Chamberland-Pasteur
filter) with pores smaller than bacteria. Thus, he could pass a
solution containing bacteria through the filter and completely
remove them from the solution. In 1928, H. B. Maitland and M. C.
Maitland grew vaccinia virus in suspensions of minced hens’
kidneys. Their method was not widely adopted until the 1950s,
when poliovirus was grown on a large scale for vaccine
production. Wikipedia Remember that Rife did much of his work
in the 1930s. The term virus was just becoming used during Rife’s
work. It is not clear whether he was working with true viruses or
cell-wall-deficient organisms or both.
One of the most extensive books about Rife technology is The Rife
Handbook of Frequency Therapy and Holistic Health by Nenah Sylver
PhD (2011).
Malaria
Four malaria species are commonly pathogenic in humans namely:
Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium ovale and
Plasmodium malariae. Just like bacteria, Plasmodia are indeed quite
sensitive to oxidants. Examples of oxidants toxic to Plasmodia include:
artemisinin, artemether, t-butyl hydroperoxide, xanthone, various quinones
(e.g. atovaquone, lapachol, betalapachone, menadione) and methylene
blue.
Like bacteria, fungi and tumor cells, the ability of Plasmodia to live
and grow depends heavily on an internal abundance of reductants.
This is especially true regarding thiol compounds also known as
sulfhydryl compounds (RSH). Thiols as a class behave as reductants
(electron donors). As such they are especially sensitive to oxidants
(electron grabbers).
Thiols (RSH) such as glutathione and other sulfur compounds are reactive
with sodium chlorite (NaClO2) and with chlorine dioxide (ClO2). These
are the very agents present in MMS. Possible products of oxidation of
thiols (RSH) using various oxides of chlorine are: disulfides (RSSR),
disulfide monoxides (RSSOR), sulfenic acids (RSOH), sulfinic acids
(RSO2H) and sulfonic acids (RSO3H).
None of these can support the life processes of the parasite. Upon
sufficient removal of the parasite’s life sustaining thiols (RSH) by
oxidation, the parasite rapidly dies. A list of thiols (RSH) upon which
survival of Plasmodium species heavily depend includes: dihydrolipoic

It has been claimed that over 75,000 cases of malaria have been
successfully cured in Africa within 2-3 days with the use of MMS.
His wife checked him out of the hospital and brought him to my office. He
began to treat the arm and lesion with the Tennant BioModulator and took
the malaria dose (fifteen drops twice a day) of MMS. This was a Friday. I
saw him again on Monday. His arm was normal size, his pain was gone,
and he could move all his fingers. This photo was taken 3 weeks after the
bite.
Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is cause by a type of bacteria called a spirochete. Although it
was traditionally thought to be due to a tick bite, it is now clear that Lyme
disease is spread the same way as colds and flu---airborne. For this reason,
almost everyone in the US is a carrier of this organism. If you do a
fluorescein antibody test for the Lyme bacteria, you will find that most of
us have it. The difference between whether you have symptoms or not is
determined by whether you voltage is adequate for your immune system to
keep it under control.
The Lyme spirochete reproduces itself, sheds its cell membrane, goes
inside a cell, and lives there. When the cell duplicates, the spirochete
reforms its cell membrane, makes multiple copies, and then again sheds its
cell membrane and goes back inside the cell. That is why antibiotics
almost never cure it. Antibiotics are effective only during the short time it
has a cell membrane.
If you put a drop of blood on a coverslip and then onto a microscope slide,
you will just see the blood cells. Now let the slide sit there for a few hours
so that the cells consume the oxygen, you will usually see what appear to
be spirochetes crawling out of the red blood cells! See the image above
that I took with a phase contrast microscope in a patient known to have
Lyme disease. You will find this pattern in almost all Americans if you
bother to look for it.
You should assume that everyone is infected with the Lyme spirochete. If
their voltage is low, some of their symptoms will be due to this as well as
other infections.
Lyme disease is a political disease. Doctors don’t lose their license for
diagnosing infectious diseases like pneumonia, strep throat, sinusitis, ear
infections, etc. They do, however, lose their license for diagnosing Lyme
disease. That puzzled me until I read the book Lab 257. It presents strong
circumstantial evidence that Lyme disease was created as a weapon by the
US government on Plum Island off the coast of Connecticut. If that is true,
it would explain why the government would not want doctors to find an
efficient way to treat it.
Summary
It is very difficult for the body to have an infection if there is enough
iodine to form the normal shield around the body and if the voltage is
normal so the immune system works. Neutrophils need voltage to move
about and consume the bacteria. They need voltage to make ozone or
hydrogen peroxide to kill the bugs.
If you get an infection and use antibiotics, you will hopefully kill the
bacteria if they haven’t become antibiotic resistant. However, at the same
time you will produce more L-forms. These forms will morph to match
their environment. If the voltage is low and thus the oxygen is low and
toxins will have accumulated, they will morph to a pathological form. As
they “have lunch”, they will damage distant organs and thus you will often
not connect the cause to your use of antibiotics.
I am not suggesting that you should never use antibiotics. Possibly fatal
infections require aggressive treatment. However, traditional antibiotics
may not be as good a choice as oxidative therapy. The problem is that
oxidative therapy is not “standard of care” and your physician will likely
not prescribe them for you, especially if you are in a hospital setting.
Fortunately, you can take your own oxidative therapy like MMS even
while your doctor is giving you antibiotics. Most of the time, it is likely
your oxidative therapy will kill the bugs long before the 24-48 hours it
takes for antibiotics to start taking effect.
9 Dental Toxins
Much of chronic disease is caused by dental infections. Often dentists have
a greater influence on your health than your physician!
Teeth are filled with tubules. Molars have up to three miles of tubules.
Ralph Steinman, DDS, Loma Linda University’s research showed proof of
interactivity between the oral cavity and the metabolism of the body. The
occurrence of decay is not due primarily to external contamination of the
tooth through acid producing foods and bacteria, but through an upset of
normal tooth metabolism.
Teeth are not solid, but consist of a series of dentin tubules and parallel
enamel rods. Dr. Steinman proved that substances moved from within the
body, through the pulp chamber, through the interstitial fluid to inside the
dentin tubules, through the enamel and into the mouth. He proved this fact
by injecting radioactive acriflavin hydrochloride into the abdominal
cavities of rats and recovering it in the dentin tubules within six minutes
and in the enamel within an hour. He believed this action to be a self-
cleansing mechanism. The constant flushing of the tooth structure prevents
the movement of microbes into the tooth and prevents the destructive
effects of acids formed by foods. At the same time, essential nutrients are
introduced into dentin tubules in order to provide a life-supporting
environment for dentin, a tissue devoid of any blood supply or nerve
innervations.
Roggenkamp, Clyde, PhD, Dentinal Fluid Transport, Loma Linda, Calif.,
Loma Linda Univ. Press, 2004.
Dr. Steinman’s most dramatic discovery was that if you plot the course of
dental decay: initially, function is altered, followed by the reversal of the
dentinal tubular fluid flow. Next, inflammation occurs in the pulp chamber
adjacent to the dentin, and finally, the disease spreads to the enamel,
before the clinical appearance of the cavity.

If you have a computer nearby, I would like you to stop reading and watch
the following videos:
Obviously, if you have mercury fillings in your mouth, you must get them
SAFELY removed. This means that your dentist needs to give you an
auxiliary air supply so you won’t breath the mercury vapors coming out of
your mouth as the dentist drills out the mercury. You also need a dental
rubber dam. This is a piece of rubber. The dentist pokes the tooth in
question through the rubber sheet. It then captures the pieces of mercury
that fall into your mouth so you don’t swallow them. If you don’t follow
these precautions, the mercury will be moved from your mouth to your
brain!
You must realize that every tooth is wired into an acupuncture meridian.
Whatever happens to that tooth happens to the meridian. However, the
meridians are like Christmas lights with multiple bulbs on them. Meridians
are wires with multiple organs including a tooth on the same circuit. If you
remove a light bulb, the circuit is still there. If you remove your gall
bladder, your gall bladder circuit is still present.
As you can see from the following graphic, teeth are wired into the
circuits. Notice for example, the breast wired into the stomach circuit.
Another way of thinking about it is that the breast gets its voltage from the
same wire or circuit as the stomach does. That means that if you have an
infection in an upper molar (stomach meridian), that infection will affect
the breast on that side as well as the stomach.
One is upper right, 16 is upper left, 17 is lower left, 32 is lower right.
The BioTerminals help you know the primary source of voltage for each
circuit. In addition many organs have more than more wire that takes
voltage to it.
In this chart, you see that the wire called the lung meridian also takes
voltage to the nose, skin, large intestine, and shoulder. The wire called the
stomach meridian takes voltage to the stomach, breast, mouth, nose, lips
and upper lid.
In the following chart, you will see that some organs have multiple wires
supplying voltage to them. For example, the brain gets voltage from the
heart, spleen/pancreas, and bladder circuits. The eye gets voltage from the
triple burner (sanjiao), liver, and bladder circuits. I have also recently
discovered that the macula of the eye gets its voltage from the
spleen/stomach meridians. If you study the BioTerminal circuits above,
you will see that the primary BioTerminal for the eyes is in the center of
the forehead. It is modulated by the Triple Burner circuit from the hand
and receives voltage from the liver circuit that is attached to the top of the
head.
Don’t let all of this confuse you. If you want to keep it simple, just focus
on the BioTerminals to provide voltage. However, when you are
considering if a certain tooth is causing trouble with the organ you are
interested in, look at the meridian charts. See what wires are carrying
voltage to the organs you are interested in. Then look to see if you have an
infection in a tooth in one of those circuits. If so, you have the reason that
the voltage dropped enough in that circuit to allow the person to get sick.
There is often a recurring pattern with teeth. You get a small cavity. The
dentist removes about 1/3 of the tooth with undercuts so that mercury
amalgam filling won’t fall out. This weakens the tooth. Soon it fractures.
The dentist then puts a crown on the tooth without removing the amalgam.
Now you have an open wound in the tooth with mercury leaking into it.
Decay happens but the dentist cannot detect it because x-rays won’t
penetrate the crown so the x-ray looks fine. Next comes pain. The dentist
then recommends a root canal.
A root canal is performed by drilling a small hole into the biting surface of
the tooth. An auger is then inserted into the root of the tooth and the artery
and nerve are ripped out.
Everyone knows that dead tissue in the body always gets infected. That is
why it is surprising that dentists purposefully leave dead teeth in the
mouth. The dentists are the only physicians that purposely leave dead
tissue in the body!
Most dentists are convinced that they can seal the tooth so that infection in
the tooth is impossible. Unfortunately, that is wishful thinking. This study
published in the root canal doctors’ own journal shows the problem
clearly. They took patients that were going to have wisdom teeth removed.
They did a root canal on one tooth. Then three months later they removed
both teeth. What you see is that the untreated tooth had 1.1% of the tubules
infected. However, the tooth that had the root canal performed three
months earlier had infection in 39% of the tubules!
A study done at the University of Kentucky looked at the effects of root
canal toxins on the immune system. When the teeth are infected with
bacteria, they produce a toxin called thio-ethers. When the infection is
caused by fungus, it produces glio-toxins.
CDK2 is noted here with the solid line with black circles at the bottom.
CDK2 with root canal extract showed 26% inhibition at 5 ul and 63%
inhibition at 40 ul. Thus one root canal shuts down 63% of the immune
system. Most of that is focused on the acupuncture meridian attached to
that tooth.
GM First, let me note that my book is based on Dr. Weston Price’s twenty-
five years of careful, impeccable research. He led a 60-man team of
researchers whose findings - suppressed until now rank right up there with
the greatest medical discoveries of all time. This is not the usual medical
story of a prolonged search for the difficult-to-find causative agent of
some devastating disease. Rather, it’s the story of how a “cast of millions”
(of bacteria) become entrenched inside the structure of teeth and end up
causing the largest number of diseases ever traced to a single source.
At one point in his writings Dr. Price made this observation: “Dr. Frank
Billings (M.D.), probably more than any other American internist, is due
credit for the early recognition of the importance of streptococcal focal
infections in systemic involvements.”
What’s really unfortunate here is that very valuable information was
covered up and totally buried some 70 years ago by a minority group of
autocratic doctors who just didn’t believe or couldn’t grasp - the focal
infection theory.
GM This states that germs from a central focal infection - such as teeth,
teeth roots, inflamed gum tissues, or maybe tonsils - metastasize to hearts,
eyes, lungs, kidneys, or other organs, glands and tissues, establishing new
areas of the same infection. Hardly theory any more, this has been proven
and demonstrated many times over. It’s 100% accepted today. But it was
revolutionary thinking during World War I days, and the early 1920’s!
Today, both patients and physicians have been “brain washed” to think
that infections are less serious because we now have antibiotics. Well, yes
and no. In the case of root-filled teeth, the no longer-living tooth lacks a
blood supply to its interior. So circulating antibiotics don’t faze the
bacteria living there because they can’t get at them.
One of the things that makes this difficult to understand is that large,
relatively harmless bacteria common to the mouth, change and adapt to
new conditions. They shrink in size to fit the cramped quarters and even
learn how to exist (and thrive!) on very little food. Those that need oxygen
mutate and become able to get along without it. In the process of
adaptation these formerly friendly “normal” organisms become
pathogenic (capable of producing disease) and more virulent (stronger)
and they produce much more potent toxins.
MJ Is everyone who has ever had a root canal filled made ill by it?
GM No. We believe now that every root canal filling does leak and
bacteria do invade the structure. But the variable factor is the strength of
the person’s immune system. Some healthy people are able to control the
germs that escape from their teeth into other areas of the body. We think
this happens because their immune system lymphocytes (white blood cells)
and other disease fighters aren’t constantly compromised by other
ailments. In other words, they are able to prevent those new colonies from
taking hold in other tissues throughout the body. But over time, most
people with root filled teeth do seem to develop some kinds of systemic
symptoms they didn’t have before.
MJ It’s really difficult to grasp that bacteria are imbedded deep in the
structure of seemingly-hard, solid looking teeth.
GM I know. Physicians and dentists have that same problem, too. You
really have to visualize the tooth structure - all of those microscopic
tubules running through the dentin. In a healthy tooth, those tubules
transport a fluid that carries nourishment to the inside. For perspective, if
the tubules of a front single-root tooth, were stretched out on the ground
they’d stretch for three miles!
A root filled tooth no longer has any fluid circulating through it, but the
maze of tubules remains. The anaerobic bacteria that live there seem
remarkably safe from antibiotics. The bacteria can migrate out into
surrounding tissue where they can “hitch hike” to other locations in the
body via the bloodstream. The new location can be any organ or gland or
tissue, and the new colony will be the next focus of infection in a body
plagued by recurrent or chronic infections.
All of the “building up” done to try to enhance the patient’s ability to fight
infections - to strengthen their immune system - is only a holding action.
Many patients won’t be well until the source of infection - the root canal
tooth - is removed.
MJ I don’t doubt what you’re saying, but can you tell us more about how
Dr. Price could be sure that arthritis or other systemic conditions and
illnesses really originated in the teeth - or in a single tooth?
GM Yes. Many investigations start with the researcher just being curious
about something - and then being scientifically careful enough to discover
an answer, and then prove it’s so, many times over. Dr. Price’s first case
is very well documented. He removed an infected tooth from a woman who
suffered from severe arthritis. As soon as he finished with the patient, he
implanted the tooth beneath the skin of a healthy rabbit. Within 48 hours
the rabbit was crippled with arthritis!
Further, once the tooth was removed the patient’s arthritis improved
dramatically. This clearly suggested that the presence of the infected tooth
was a causative agent for both that patient’s and the rabbit’s - arthritis.
[Editor’s Note - Here’s the story of that first patient from Dr. Meinig’s
book: “(Dr. Price) had a sense that, even when (root canal therapy)
appeared successful, teeth containing root fillings remained infected. That
thought kept prying on his mind, haunting him each time a patient
consulted him for relief from some severe debilitating disease for which
the medical profession could find no answer. Then one day while treating
a woman who had been confined to a wheelchair for six years from severe
arthritis, he recalled how bacterial cultures were taken from patients who
were ill and then inoculated into animals in an effort to reproduce the
disease and test the effectiveness of drugs on the disease.
With this thought in mind, although her (root filled) tooth looked fine, he
advised this arthritic patient, to have it extracted. He told her he was
going to find out what it was about this root filled tooth that was
responsible for her suffering. “All dentists know that sometimes arthritis
and other illnesses clear up if bad teeth are extracted. However, in this
case, all of her teeth appeared in satisfactory condition and the one
containing this root canal filling showed no evidence or symptoms of
infection. Besides, it looked normal on x-ray pictures.
“Immediately after Dr. Price extracted the tooth he dismissed the patient
and embedded her tooth under the skin of a rabbit. In two days the rabbit
developed the same kind of crippling arthritis as the patient - and in ten
days it died.
“..The patient made a successful recovery after the tooth’s removal! She
could then walk without a cane and could even do fine needlework again.
That success led Dr. Price to advise other patients, afflicted with a wide
variety of treatment defying illnesses, to have any root filled teeth out.”]
In the years that followed, he repeated this procedure many hundreds of
times. He later implanted only a portion of the tooth to see if that produced
the same results. It did. He then dried the tooth, ground it into powder and
injected a tiny bit into several rabbits. Same results, this time producing
the same symptoms in multiple animals.
Dr. Price eventually grew cultures of the bacteria and injected them into
the animals. Then he went a step further. He put the solution containing
the bacteria through a filter small enough to catch the bacteria. So when
he injected the resulting liquid it was free of any infecting bacteria. Did
the test animals develop the illness? Yes. The only explanation was that the
liquid had to contain toxins from the bacteria, and the toxins were also
capable of causing disease.
Dr. Price became curious about which was the more potent infective
agent, the bacteria or the toxin. He repeated that last experiment, injecting
half the animals with the toxin-containing liquid and half of them with the
bacteria from the filter. Both groups became ill, but the group injected
with the toxins got sicker and died sooner than the bacteria injected
animals.
MJ That’s amazing. Did the rabbits always develop the same disease the
patient had?
GM Mostly, yes. If the patient had heart disease the rabbit got heart
disease. If the patient had kidney disease the rabbit got kidney disease, and
so on. Only occasionally did a rabbit develop a different disease - and then
the pathology would be quite similar, in a different location.
MJ If extraction proves necessary for anyone reading this, do you want to
summarize what’s special about the extraction technique?
GM Just pulling the tooth is not enough when removal proves necessary.
Dr. Price found bacteria in the tissues and bone just adjacent to the
tooth’s root. So we now recommend slow-speed drilling with a burr, to
remove one millimeter of the entire bony socket. The purpose is to remove
the periodontal ligament (which is always infected with toxins produced by
streptococcus bacteria living in the dentin tubules) and the first millimeter
of bone that lines the socket (which is usually infected).
There’s a whole protocol involved, including irrigating with sterile saline
to assure removal of the contaminated bone chips, and treating the socket
to stimulate and encourage infection-free healing. I describe the procedure
in detail, step by step, in my book [pages 185 and 186].
MJ Perhaps we should back up and talk about oral health - to PREVENT
needing an extraction. Caries or inflamed gums seem much more common
than root canals. Do they pose any threat?
GM Yes, they absolutely do. But let me point out that we can’t talk about
oral health apart from total health. The problem is that patients and
dentists alike haven’t come around to seeing that dental caries reflect
systemic - meaning “whole body” - illness. Dentists have learned to
restore teeth so expertly that both they and their patients have come to
regard tooth decay as a trivial matter. It isn’t.
Small cavities too often become big cavities. Big cavities too often lead to
further destruction and the eventual need for root canal treatment.
MJ Then talk to us about prevention.
GM The only scientific way to prevent tooth decay is through diet and
nutrition. Dr. Ralph Steinman did some outstanding, landmark research at
Loma Linda University. He injected a glucose solution into mice - into
their bodies, so the glucose didn’t even touch their teeth. Then he observed
the teeth for any changes. What he found was truly astonishing. The
glucose reversed the normal flow of fluid in the dentin tubules, resulting in
all of the test animals developing severe tooth decay! Dr. Steinman
demonstrated dramatically what I said a minute ago: Dental caries reflect
systemic illness.
Let’s take a closer look to see how this might happen. Once a tooth gets
infected and the cavity gets into the nerve and blood vessels, bacteria find
their way into those tiny tubules of the dentin. Then no matter what we do
by way of treatment, we’re never going to completely eradicate the
bacteria hiding in the miles of tubules. In time the bacteria can migrate
through lateral canals into the surrounding bony socket that supports the
tooth. Now the host not only has a cavity in a tooth, plus an underlying
infection of supporting tissue to deal with, but the bacteria also exude
potent systemic toxins. These toxins circulate throughout the body
triggering activity by the immune system - and probably causing the host
to feel less well. This host response can vary from just dragging around
and feeling less energetic, to overt illness - of almost any kind. Certainly,
such a person will be more vulnerable to whatever “bugs” are going
around, because his/her body is already under constant challenge and the
immune system continues to be “turned on” by either the infective agent or
its toxins - or both.
MJ What a fascinating concept. Can you tell us more about the protective
nutrition you mentioned?
GM Yes. Dr. Price traveled all over the world doing his research on
primitive peoples who still lived in their native ways. He found fourteen
cultural pockets scattered all over the globe where the natives had no
access to “civilization” - and ate no refined foods.
Dr. Price studied their diets carefully. He found they varied greatly, but
the one thing they had in common was that they ate whole, unrefined
foods. With absolutely no access to tooth brushes, floss, fluoridated water
or tooth paste, the primitive peoples studied were almost 100% free of
tooth decay. Further - and not unrelated - they were also almost 100% free
of all the degenerative diseases we suffer - problems with the heart, lungs,
kidneys, liver, joints, skin (allergies), and the whole gamut of illnesses that
plague Mankind. No one food proved to be magic as a preventive food. I
believe we can thrive best by eating a wide variety of whole foods.
MJ Amazing. So by “diet and nutrition” for oral (and total) health you
meant eating a pretty basic diet of whole foods?
GM Exactly. And no sugar or white flour. These are (and always have
been) the first culprits. Tragically, when the primitives were introduced to
sugar and white flour their superior level of health deteriorated rapidly.
This has been demonstrated time and again. During the last sixty or more
years we have added in increasing amounts, highly refined and fabricated
cereals and boxed mixes of all kinds, soft drinks, refined vegetable oils and
a whole host of other foodless “foods”. It is also during those same years
that we as a nation have installed more and more root canal fillings - and
degenerative diseases have become rampant. I believe - and Dr. Price
certainly proved to my satisfaction - that these simultaneous factors are
NOT coincidences.
MJ I certainly understand what you are saying. But I’m still a little
shocked to talk with a dentist who doesn’t stress oral hygiene.
GM Well, I’m not against oral hygiene. Of course, hygiene practices are
preventive, and help minimize the destructive effect of our “civilized”,
refined diet. But the real issue is still diet. The natives Dr. Price tracked
down and studied weren’t free of cavities, inflamed gums, and
degenerative diseases because they had better tooth brushes!
One of the problems with root canals is that they often spread their
infection into the surrounding bone. This is a huge problem since
infections in bone are so hard to cure. They are often called “cavitations”.
Unfortunately these infections cannot be seen with standard dental x-rays.
One can only see them with digital x-rays or 64-slice CAT scans. The hole
in the photo is where a root canal has been removed. You can see the
blackened infected bone that surrounded the root canal.
Generally one cannot measure the voltage coming from a root canal tooth.
However, one can measure the voltage coming from a tooth if it has metal
in the form of a filling or crown. Teeth, like the rest of cells, are designed
to run at −20 to −25 millivolts. You can take a voltmeter that measures in
millivolts. Place one electrode on the cheek and one on the metal of the
tooth. If you measure more than 100 millivolts, either that tooth or one of
its neighbors is infected.
I have a friend that is an oncologist. I looked at 20 of his cancer patients.
What I found was that 70% of these patients had a root canal in the same
acupuncture meridian as their primary cancer. All but one of the rest had
an infected crown in the same meridian as their primary cancer.
In my own practice, I have seen only two patients where I could not find a
dental connection to the meridian associated with their cancer. One was a
heavy smoker.
These numbers are too small to prove the connection between dental
infections and cancer. We can only hope that someone will fund a large
study to prove or disprove the connection. In the meantime, it makes sense
to remove infections from your teeth and jaws.

10 Allergies
Allergies plague most people at one time or another. For some, it is an
annoying runny nose. For others it is the inability to live outside of a
special room. For a few, it is sudden death.
Allergies are the interaction of antibodies and other chemicals made by our
immune system. These antibodies believe that the proteins we are eating,
breathing, or coming in contact with are dangerous to us and they are
trying to destroy them. In the process, they make us sick.
In placental mammals there are five antibody isotypes known as IgA, IgD,
IgE, IgG and IgM. They are each named with an “Ig” prefix that stands for
immunoglobulin, another name for antibody, and differ in their biological
properties, functional locations and ability to deal with different antigens.
1. IgA: Found in mucosal areas, such as the gut, respiratory tract and
urogenital tract, and prevents colonization by pathogens. Also
found in saliva, tears, and breast milk.
2. IgD: Functions mainly as an antigen receptor on B cells that have
not been exposed to antigens.[11] It has been shown to activate
basophils and mast cells to produce antimicrobial factors.
3. IgE: Binds to allergens and triggers histamine release from
mast cells and basophils, and is involved in allergy. Also
protects against parasitic worms.
4. IgG: In its four forms, provides the majority of antibody-
based immunity against invading pathogens. The only
antibody capable of crossing the placenta to give passive
immunity to fetus.
5. IgM: Expressed on the surface of B cells and in a secreted form
with very high avidity. Eliminates pathogens in the early stages of
B cell mediated (humoral) immunity before there is sufficient
IgG.
Note that IgG and IgE are prominent in allergy. IgG is involved with food
allergies and IgE with inhalation allergy.
Proteins are made up of small units called amino acids. Think of a Lego
as an amino acid. The multiple things you can build from Legos are called
proteins.
When you eat a protein, stomach acid must break the proteins down into
amino acids. As the digested food reaches the small intestine, the amino
acids are absorbed so the body can make and repair proteins.
The reason for this allergy is lack of stomach acid. So why don’t you have
enough stomach acid? Making stomach acid requires iodine, zinc, vitamin
B1, water, salt, and carbon dioxide. Americans that don’t eat sea weed
regularly are deficient in iodine. The amount of iodine in table salt is about
1/1000 of what you need, there is no iodine in sea salt, and our soils are
devoid of iodine. About 80% of the population is deficient in zinc. Thus
most people have allergies because they can’t make stomach acid!
Since it is assumed you have too much stomach acid (and indeed you do
have it in the wrong place---the esophagus) you take antacids or drugs that
stop acid production. Your GERD stops. However, now you are
developing allergies since you can’t digest your proteins!
Without stomach acid you can’t adsorb zinc even is you take it. Thus you
will become deficient in zinc when you shut down stomach acid
production if you weren’t deficient already. There are over 350
biochemical reactions that rely on zinc including the production of
neurochemicals. If you take drugs that shut down your stomach acid, you
will become depressed because you can’t make serotonin. So now you are
a depressed person with allergies and chronic fatigue. Now you start
antidepressant drugs. These work temporarily but have been shown to
increase the amount and frequency of depression when taken long term.
They also diminish your sexual performance/desire. Your spouse gets tired
of you and your emotional ups and downs, your runny nose, migraine
headaches, explosive diarrhea, and lack of sexual interest/performance.
You can figure out the rest.
Remember this downward spiral started because of the lack of iodine, zinc,
salt and vitamin B1. The drugs don’t solve the problem---they cover up the
problem and create several more problems.
To overcome this process, you can do a blood test to find out what foods
you are allergic to. Traditionally it is advised that you avoid those foods
for up to six months. I find that, like antibodies from vaccines, antibodies
to foods last for years even if you don’t eat those foods. They key is to
never absorb proteins---only amino acids. That means you must have
adequate amounts of stomach acid to break all the proteins you eat into
amino acids.
You must take iodine, zinc, and vitamin B1 so that you can start making
stomach acid. Also, while you are correcting those deficiencies, you must
take betaine with each meal. This pill from the beet plant makes stomach
acid so you won’t become allergic to the new set of foods while you are
becoming able to make your own stomach acid in a normal way.
The following are symptoms of lack of adrenalin. The adrenal glands are
actually two glands in one. The outer part of the adrenals (cortex) makes
cortisol and aldosterone. Cortisol affects inflammation and blood sugar.
The aldosterone affects blood pressure, particularly the upper number
(systolic). The inner part of the adrenal glands (medulla) makes adrenalin.
You should be able to quickly recognize yourself in this list if you have the
problem. If you have allergies, you almost certainly will see yourself here.
Some of the list above is extracted from the book From Feeling Fat, Fuzzy,
or Frazzled by Richard and Karilee Shamas, www.penguin.com and from
the writings of John Lee, MD.
Lack of adrenalin eventually leads to you just wanting to sit in the corner
and have people leave you the heck alone! You are grouchy and moody.
Remember that a boy has been defined as a noise with dirt on it--ha! Little
girls are known to be noisy chatterboxes that cry. If you are adrenalin
deficient, you will have a hard time being around children.
Adrenalin is made from the amino acid tyrosine, vitamin C, and vitamin
B6. Remember that the body’s source of amino acids is stomach acid
breaking proteins into amino acids including the tyrosine needed to make
adrenalin. In addition, the human cannot make vitamin C and thus must
consume it. There is very little vitamin C in citrus like orange juice, so that
is not adequate.
Remember that all organs that secrete something needs iodine to do so.
That includes adrenals.
I find that the most predictable way to support the adrenals is with adrenal
glandulars. These pills are dehydrated adrenals from animals. They are
very similar to desiccated thyroid hormone. I generally have patients take
two on arising and 1-2 at lunch time.
What is different about this system is that it has no heart or other pump to
move the waste forward. Instead, the tubes are surrounded by a circular
muscle and by stretch receptors. When the tubes are stretched (such as by
walking or moving your arms), they activate the circular muscles. They
move the sewage down the tubes much like squeezing a tube of toothpaste.
When you are inactive, the sewage isn’t moved along the tubes. It can
congeal in the tubes. Now your sewage system backs up just the way it can
happen when your toilet gets stopped up by something too large to move
through the pipes. As the sewage backs up, it floods back into the
extracellular spaces just as sewage floods your bathroom floor.
Do you get the image? Your cells are surrounded by sewage. The sewage
cannot be eliminated until you unstop the lymphatic tubes just as your
toilet won’t flush until you move the
obstruction on down the pipes.
The longer that your lymphatics are obstructed, the more different
antibodies you make until you become allergic to almost everything. Now
you are called “chemically sensitive”.
What happens when a surgeon removes your lymph nodes? They take out
some of the lymphatic pipes and their filters. Now how is the sewage
supposed to get drained? It can’t.
I Need a Plumber!
When you have allergies, you feel tired all the time,
you are gaining weight and you can’t see your
clavicles, you likely need a plumber. Unfortunately,
massage therapists can make it worse. Most of them
are trained to work with muscles and not
lymphatics. When you do deep massage on tissue
filled with sewage, you often rupture the bulging
lymphatic channels and the cells that are surrounded by sewage. What you
need is a gentle method to contract the circular muscles that surround all
lymphatic channels.
Remember that the channels above the navel run to the nodes in the axilla
(armpits) whereas the channels below the navel run to the inguinal region
and then deep into the thoracic duct. When the thoracic duct is obstructed,
people get fluid retention below the belly button. They think it is strange
that they are getting fat just below the belly button and not above it. It’s
not fat; it’s sewage.
The essential oil Bay Laurel is also helpful in getting the lymphatics to
drain. So is a mini-tramp.
Asthma
Asthma is often a function of food allergies from lack of stomach acid. It
is usually accompanied by adrenal fatigue. Asthma in children is due to
parasites until proven otherwise. Using MMS to kill the parasites,
correcting iodine levels, correcting stomach acid and avoiding the foods
that the child has become allergic to will commonly eliminate the asthma.
Kids with asthma are usually have antibodies to milk, particularly
pasteurized milk.
11 Heavy Metal Poisoning
The scientific world has no widely accepted definition for ‘heavy metal’.
However, it is generally accepted that the term ‘heavy’ refers to metals
with a specific gravity that is at least 5 times the specific gravity of water.
The specific gravity of water is 1 at 4°C (39°F). Simply stated, specific
gravity is a measure of the density of a given amount of a solid substance
when it is compared to an equal amount of water. In general terms, a
‘heavy metal’ has a specific weight higher that 8 grams per cubic
centimeter (g/cm3).
Lead Poisoning
Lead poisoning may cause
1. Irreversible Neurological Damage
2. Renal Disease
3. Cardiovascular Effects
4. Reproductive Toxicity
Lead has no known biological role in the body. The toxicity comes from
its ability to mimic other biologically important metals, the most
notable of which are calcium, iron and zinc. Lead is able to bind to
and interact with the same proteins and molecules as these metals, but
after displacement, those molecules function differently and fail to
carry out the same reactions, such as in producing enzymes necessary
for certain biological processes.
Lead can also be found in some imported cosmetics such as kohl, from the
middle east, India, Pakistan, and some parts of Africa, and Surma from
India (kohl is a mixture of soot and other ingredients used predominantly
by middle eastern, north African, sub-Saharan African and Asian women,
and to a lesser extent men, to darken the eyelids and as mascara for the
eyelashes.
Most people born before 1950 were exposed to lead in gasoline and paint.
It only takes a piece of lead the size of a grain of salt to poison you! Lead
was commonly added to gasoline to increase its octane and anti-knock
performance. In the U.S. in 1972, the EPA launched an initiative to phase
out leaded gasoline. Ethyl Corp’s response was to sue the EPA. The EPA
won the case, so the TEL phaseout began in 1976 and was completed by
1986. Lead paint was banned in the US in 1977, but many imported toys,
jewelry, and other products are still made with lead.
wikipedia
Mercury Poisoning
Mercury likes fatty tissue like brain, liver, kidneys, and endocrine glands.
Heavy metals don’t stay in the blood. They quickly move into tissue. If
you find heavy metals in a blood test, it means you have a current and
ongoing exposure!
The only accurate way to test for heavy metals is with a chelation-urine
provocative test. A chelating agent is given IV and then a six hour urine
sample is collected and tested for heavy metals. A newer test looks at urine
porphyrins. Hair tests are not a reliable way to look for heavy metals.
Materials like zeolite, chlorophyll, cilantro, etc. are not reliable ways to
remove metals. They stay in the gut and are not absorbed into the system.
Since the metals are deep in your tissue, these agents in your gut cannot
access the metals.
In nature, heavy metals are detoxified with fulvic acid. Since you should
be taking fulvic to help control your cell membranes and to provide
vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, this seems the preferred method.
It is critical that one look at total body voltage before attempting to remove
metals. If your voltages are low, there is a tendency for the metals to be
moved from one part of the body to another but not excreted. This often
aggravates the situation instead of making it better. Restore the voltage and
then correct the heavy metal poisoning.
12 BioModulator
FDA Statement
The Tennant Biomodulator® and certain accessory electrodes are FDA
listed by its distributor or manufacturer in these categories:
21 CFR 882.5890 – Neurology transcutaneous electrical nerve
stimulator for pain relief
21 CFR 882.5050 – Neurology biofeedback device
Indications for use:
1. Symptomatic relief and management of chronic, intractable
pain.
2. Adjunctive treatment in the management of post-traumatic
surgical and post-traumatic pain
3. Relaxation training and muscle relaxation
When in Ten-8™ or Infinity™ modes, the LEDs show the power settings,
and are NOT reflecting the assessed value as in the Assess or Automatic
mode.
Turn the device on. Press and hold the (+) button. Watch the LEDs
illuminate progressively up the curve (left to right) as the power level
increases.
It is better to use too little power than too much. The device operates in
volts – cells in millivolts. They will shut down if you use too much power.
Let children control the power themselves.
Modes:
Assess – Acts as your “voltmeter” to measure musculoskeletal
problems or organ voltage.
Ten-8™ – Use for pain and musculoskeletal issues.
Infinity™ Use for everything else or alternate with Ten-8™.
Automatic (or Automatic Infinity™) The software measures the
voltage and then treats with Infinity for one minute.
To use the BioModulator, you must adjust the power for the thickness of
skin you wish to measure. Then put it into Assess Mode. Press firmly over
the area in question. The lights will tell you the voltage according to the
image above. Now measure the BioTerminals described in the chapter of
Voltage.
Look at the chart on the next page. It will confirm for you which
BioTerminal is associated with various illnesses. It is generally intuitive.
For example, eye problems will have low voltage in the skull BioTerminal.
Heart problems will have low voltage in the chest BioTerminal. Bladder
problems will have low voltage in the Pelvic BioTerminal, etc.
BioTransducer
If I put an electrode on each side of my door, electrons will not flow from
one to the other because the door is an insulator. If I shine a light on the
door, it won’t penetrate either. However, if I place a magnet on each side
of the door, they will hold onto each other as their magnetic fields interact.
Remember that tissue with low voltage always creates a magnetic field.
We call those “stickies” as we move the BioModulator over them.
Scientific studies show that high and low frequency TENS produce their
effects by activation of opioid receptors in the central nervous system.
Specifically, high frequency TENS activates delta-opioid receptors both in
the spinal cord and supraspinally (in the medulla) while low frequency
TENS activates beta-opioid receptors both in the spinal cord and
supraspinally. Further high frequency TENS reduces excitation of central
neurons that transmit nociceptive information, reduces release of
excitatory neurotransmitters (glutamate) and increases the release of
inhibitory neurotransmitters (GABA) in the spinal cord, and activates
muscarinic receptors centrally to produce analgesia (in effect, temporarily
blocking the pain gate). Low frequency TENS also releases serotonin and
activates serotonin receptors in the spinal cord, releases GABA, and
activates muscarinic receptors to reduce excitability of nociceptive neurons
in the spinal cord. Wikipedia
Most microcurrent devices use square wave pulses because they have been
observed to be more effective clinically.
Ultra sound creates ultrasonic vibrations and creates heat by vibrating the
water molecules in the tissue. It does not provide current nor does it
change ATP status. It provides beneficial results by these mechanisms but
it is just completely different from microcurrent.
The charge flows back and forth between the plates of the capacitor,
through the inductor. The energy oscillates back and forth between the
capacitor and the inductor until (if not replenished by power from an
external circuit) internal resistance makes the oscillations die out. Its
action, known mathematically as a harmonic oscillator is similar to a
pendulum swinging back and forth, or water sloshing back and forth in a
tank. For this reason the circuit is also called a tank circuit. The oscillation
frequency is determined by the capacitance and inductance values used. In
typical tuned circuits in electronic equipment the oscillations are very fast,
thousands to millions of times per second.
Thus one can see the major differences between the Tennant®
BioModulator® (TBM) and a traditional TENS device. The TBM is
microamp whereas the TENS is milliamp. The TBM increases ATP
whereas the TENS reduces ATP. The TBM has a waveform that changes
as the tissue electronics change whereas the TENS waveform is constant,
either a sine or square wave. The TBM’s design incorporated PEMF
whereas the TENS has no such capability. The TBM allows one to
measure tissue before and after therapy whereas the TENS units have no
such capability. TENS devices are designed to influence nerve
transmission using milliamps whereas the TBM using microcurrent
(microamps) does not affect nerve transmission but rather improves
cellular conditions allowing for natural healing.

We did’t know exactly how far it is between planets until we sent up the
Hubble telescope in 1990. After that an obelisk that is over 3000 years old
was discovered in Egypt. On it the exact distances between the planets was
recorded. Thus it is with science. We keep having to rediscover things over
and over again.
A woman had a tooth extracted. The socket became infected and she was
placed on antibiotics. Still the area would not heal. She was given different
antibiotics, both orally and intravenously. Still the area would not heal.
Repeat surgery to remove the infected bone still did not allow the area to
heal.
Now let’s look at her voltages. What you can see is that most of her
voltages are low since they should all be 20 to 25 millivolts. Almost all the
voltages to the solid organs are low-voltage. You will recall that the solid
organs are attached to the BioTerminals on the back. Also, all but two of
the BioTerminals on the front (hollow organs) are low as well.
When the average of these numbers is less than 20, we realized that the
patient has low total body voltage. Low total body voltage is
hypothyroidism until proven otherwise. Remember that the blood tests are
usually misleading.
Now look at the numbers from the corresponding Tesla circuits. You will
see that almost all of these are low. When these are low, you usually find
that the adrenals are fatigued. Her adrenal questionnaire scored 48/51,
confirming that she has adrenal fatigue.
Now focus on the BioTerminals for the skull. The posterior one is 15 and
the anterior one is 5. Thus the voltage to all the organs/structures in the
skull is inadequate for healing. Do you remember what voltage it takes to
heal? You’re right! It’s -50 millivolts. Now we know exactly why this
person can’t heal the infection in her jaw. She simply doesn’t have the
voltage to do it.
The solution now is easy. Use the BioModulator to insert electrons into the
skull BioTerminals. In addition we can use the BioTransducer to use
magnetic fields to get the electrons down into the center of the jaw (the
acupuncture meridians will take them to the periosteum of the jaw but it
will be more difficult for them to get into the center of the infection
without the BioTransducer).
While we are actively providing the electrons necessary to heal the jaw,
we must also deal with the rest of the body. It will give us the support
system necessary to heal. We start correcting the hypothyroidism and the
adrenal fatigue with desiccated hormones, iodine, vitamins, minerals, etc.,
needed to get them functioning as we have discussed in other chapters.
Remember that the immune system needs voltage, iodine, and ozone to kill
bugs. We will aggressively start restoring her deficiency of iodine so her
“iodine shield” can be restored to prevent new infections.
Remember that sodium chlorite works the same way as the white blood
cells kill bugs---oxidation. So we would also use a short burst of sodium
chlorite to help kill the infections. She will be full of L-forms because of
all the antibiotics she has taken. Remember that sodium chlorite is an
electron stealer, so we would not want to use it more than a week or two to
attempt to get ahead of the infection. We would use the BioModulator and
BioTransducer as much as possible to restore the electrons consumed by
the sodium chlorite.
Remember also that low voltage causes low oxygen. We would use
hyperbaric oxygen if that were available.
Let’s look at another person. This man worked with gasoline and diesel
and grease most of his life. He developed cancer of his left kidney. The left
kidney was removed but no chemotherapy or radiation was used. Nine
years later, he was found to have tumors in his pancreas, left hip, and
lungs. He chose not to have chemotherapy or radiation but instead changed
his diet and did nutritional things to improve his immune system. He also
did a lot of detoxification. Two years later, the lung tumors are gone, the
tumor in the left hip is smaller, and the tumor in the pancreas has not
changed in size.
Look at his voltages. Most of his body is running at 50 millivolts. His body
is actively in a healing mode. Fortunately for him, he is not hypothyroid or
hypoadrenal. Otherwise, he could not mount this healing effort.
Look at the Pelvic numbers. The voltage is low in the pelvis placing this
area at risk. It also explains why he has a tumor in the hip.
When only one or a few BioTerminals have low voltage, you should
suspect a dental infection in the same circuit or in a Tesla that controls that
BioTerminal. For example, with low Abdominal BioTerminals, the back
Tesla is the
Spleen circuit and the front Tesla is the Stomach. Look for infected teeth
in those circuits using this chart. That would be teeth 2, 3,14,15, 20, 21,
28, or 29. Measure any metal in these teeth with a voltmeter as I described
in the dental chapter. If there is a root canal in one of these teeth, you
know why the voltage dropped. It must be removed or you will never get
the voltages back to normal.
The Pelvic BioTerminal is controlled by the Kidney Tesla on the back and
the Bladder Tesla on the front. Look for problems in teeth number 7, 8, 9,
10, 23, 24, 25, or 26 to help explain why this BioTerminal is low. Also
remember that if you have a root canal, it will infect the bone and then
infect the bone of its next-door neighbors. For example, a root canal in
tooth 27 (liver, gall bladder) could take out the kidney, bladder circuit of
tooth 26.
The primary things that lower total body voltage are hypothyroidism,
narcotic drug use, epilepsy drugs, and losing sleep when you have little
reserve.
As voltage drops more and more, the end result is fungal forms that are
cell-wall deficient. These are the most pathological forms of infections.
They do not respond to antibiotics, cannot be cultured, and are only seen
with a phase contrast or darkfield microscope. They can most easily be
seen with a Grayfield microscope.
It is of some interest that uveitis has been associated with fungus for over
50 years, but it has always been difficult to prove because the fungus can
rarely be cultured!
This boy’s diet is primarily canned food. It is full of soy and plastic Trans
fats. Soy shuts down the entire endocrine system. Soybeans are high in
phytic acid, present in the bran or hulls of all seeds. It’s a substance that
can block the uptake of essential minerals (calcium, magnesium, copper,
iron and especially zinc) in the intestinal tract.
Zinc is a key component in numerous vital enzymes and plays a role in the
immune system.
Zinc deficiency can cause a “spacey” feeling that some vegetarians may
mistake for the “high” of spiritual enlightenment.
One of the problems with canned food is the presence of Trans fats and
Canola oil. Canola oil stunts the growth of infants. It is not suitable for
human consumption. However, the discussion of Canola is beyond the
scope of this book. Trans fats will not make good cell membranes. Cells
made with Trans fats cannot hold a charge and cause the voltage to be low.
You see that regularly in brain-injured people. The brain replaces itself in
8 months. About six months after a brain injured person is put on canned
food containing high amounts of Trans fats, the nervous system stops
getting better. A brain made of plastic just doesn’t work!
The same is true when other people are put on canned food as their
primary diet. Look at this boy’s voltage. Part of the low voltage is due to
cell membranes made from plastic Trans fats.
Fats of any kind (except coconut oil) cannot be absorbed without bile, so
one needs to pay attention to whether the liver is capable of making bile. A
liver running on half-normal voltage will not be able to do so. Thus one
must supplement bile and digestive enzymes until the voltage normalizes.
I would recommend that this boy wear the BioModulator 24 hours a day
while we are changing his diet, and correcting his thyroid function and
adrenals, stomach acid, etc.
Macular Degeneration
What BioTerminal would provide the voltage to the eye? The skull or head
BioTerminal of course. It will always be low in people with macular
degeneration.
Note in the person above with macular degeneration that the posterior
Head BioTerminal has 15 millivolts and the anterior reads 05 millivolts.
The Tesla circuits that monitor the Head BioTerminals are the Triple
Burner and the Pericardium. Note that the Triple Burner Teslas are reading
05.
The Head gets voltage delivered from the Primary Cable. The Primary
Cable is controlled by the Liver and Gall Bladder Teslas. Thus they also
affect the structures of the head including the eye. Note that the Liver
Teslas are at 05 at the coccyx and at the top of the head (GV-20). Now we
know why the person has macular degeneration. The voltage supply is
diminished.
Look at the dental chart. This person has a root canal in tooth #6. He has a
crown on tooth #22 that measures 180 millivolts with a voltmeter (means
there is infection under the crown). This person has low voltage in the eyes
because of infection in the teeth that are on the same circuits.
The person was sent to the dentist to pull the root canal tooth including
removing any infection in the associated bone. The crown on #22 must be
removed and the decay and any mercury under it must be removed and the
crown replaced.
Our study of dry macular degeneration showed that if the vision is better
than 20/70, we got them all back to 20/20 or 20/25. If there was enough
scarring that the vision was worse than 20/70, we did not get back to the
vision necessary to read easily (20/50) but the vision did not get worse
over the next two years.
Summary
There are a few special considerations that are beyond the scope of this
handbook. However, the purpose of this handbook is to give one the basic
concepts. Training is available for those wishing to learn the nuances.
13 Essential Oils
The universe is all about energy. No matter whether you call the energy
chi, prana, electrons, or some other name, the universe is about the
interactions of energy.
People often get confused about the difference between voltage and
frequency. One can think of voltage as the power or amplitude of the
vortex of energy while frequency is how many revolutions or oscillations
the energy makes per second. As you will see, both are important in
understanding how cells work.

KIDNEY 319.88 (Eb)

One can tap into either wiring system to measure the voltage in the organs.
It is difficult to use a voltmeter to measure the organ voltage because
voltage surges about every six seconds. Thus we commonly use an
ohmmeter to measure and then convert that to voltage. There are several
devices designed to accurately and reproducibly measure organ voltage
like the Nakatani (MEAD) system, the Voll systems, and the Tennant
BioModulator. By placing one of these devices onto a wire known to go to
each organ, one can know the voltage in that organ.
Cells in the adult human are designed to run at −20 to −25 millivolts and to
heal at −50 millivolts. The minus sign means that the voltage is an electron
donor. If the voltage drops to the point the solution is an electron stealer,
we put a plus sign in front of the voltage. Cancer occurs at +30 millivolts.
Others say they have devices that measure the frequency by sending
“digital signatures of biologically active substances” to the body to see if
the body reacts to it. They are not really doing so because there are no
devices that can send such signals. Any biologically active substance
contains hundreds or thousands of frequencies of variable voltage. We do
not have any frequency generators that can reproduce that type of signal.
Those that say they are sending such signals are just using a software
program that is a random number generator. It randomly assigns numbers
to each organ or substance. Such devices never give reproducible results
because they aren’t really measuring anything. Thus you are told that they
are using Quantum physics to hide the fact that they aren’t really
measuring anything.
Remember that there are no clinical (only laboratory) devices that can
accurately and reproducibly measure frequency in the body. Some
scientists are working on developing such devices, but to the best of my
knowledge, no such device is currently available for purchase to use
outside a research center equipped with a Faraday cage to screen out the
noise (frequencies that surround us all the time and confuse
measurements).
One can see that pain is present or something isn’t functioning by what the
patient says/feels and/or how much mobility they have in their movements
of arms and neck. Each different oil contains hundreds of frequencies. If
you apply the frequencies of any given organ, that organ will function
better and you see the result or the patient feels the result. In this system,
we do not know a specific frequency that we can write down, but we know
that that oil or blend of oils contain the frequencies that correspond to a
certain organ.
Look at the table above. Note that the harmonic of lavender is 59 MHz.
This is very close to the resonate frequency of many of the organs. Thus
we understand why lavender is considered the “universal essential oil”,
i.e., it is useful for many different things because it resonates with many
different organs, particularly lungs, liver, stomach, spleen and colon!
Now you can understand why I created the Infinity Frequency Set in the
Tennant BioModulator. It emits a wide range of frequencies and each
frequency series it emits is different from the previous ones. Thus it is an
effort to duplicate what is found in nature---a wide range of frequencies
that will be able to transfer energy to the cells by having the frequencies
that will resonate with the various types of cells in the body. Thus it is an
effort to have the same effect as applying numerous different essential oils
and not having to figure out which oils are needed.
In another book, I read that certain terpenes increased the voltage (pH) in
cells! Wow! Now I had another way besides the BioModulator to help
restore voltage to the cells. Then in another book, I found exactly what I
noticed when I sorted my database. A different type of terpenes reduced
inflammation.
I knew that to get the energy to transfer to the cells, I needed the correct
frequencies for each type of cell. Since there is no clinical way to measure
this, it occurred to me that the more of each type of terpene there was in an
oil, the more likely it was to have additional frequencies present in that oil.
I sorted by database and found the combinations of oils that had the
highest percentages of each type of terpenes. I made blends based on this
content rather than the usual method of making blends based on octaves or
some other method. As far as I know, this approach of blending based on
quantity of specific terpenes has never been done before. This is how I
arrived at what I called the EER system or the Be Healthy System of oils.
Now the question was, “Would it work?” I would then check the
pain/feeling of the patient and the mobility of the patient. I would also look
at the blood in my phase contrast microscope before and after. I would also
repeat the voltage measurements with my BioModulator device before and
after. What I found was that about 70 to 80 percent of the time, the results
were remarkable. The rest of the time, it didn’t work.
I noticed that in the people
where it didn’t work, there So the BioModulator corrects voltage
seemed to be significant and the essential oils correct cellular
emotional overlays. I created a software. Using either gets results
fourth blend for emotions. So but using both together gives
now my system contained four exponentially better results.
blends, Be Healthy #1, Be
Healthy #2, Be Healthy #3,
and Be Healthy #4. They were designed to be used one right after the other
no matter what is wrong with you.
Once I added the fourth oil, my success rate was over 90%.
When I started using essential oils and got results, I assumed that I was
correcting voltage. However, I soon found that the oils did not change the
voltage. Further study revealed that the oils were changing the signals
coming from the DNA to the proteins in the cells. Thus they were
correcting “cellular software”. In a computer, a series of zeroes and ones
are sent out to tell the hardware what to do. However, the information can
become corrupted so that when you press an “A” on the keyboard, a “W”
appears on the screen instead. The same thing can happen with cells. In a
computer, you correct this problem with software like Norton or McAfee.
Fortunately for us, plants run at the same frequency as human organs. The
oils extracted from plants have these frequencies. When you apply
essential oils to the human, they act like Norton or McAfee and correct the
information being sent from the DNA to the proteins in the cells so that
they know what to do.
So the BioModulator corrects voltage and the essential oils correct cellular
software. Using either gets results but using both together gives
exponentially better results.
Summary
To operate correctly, cells must have both the proper voltage and the
proper frequency. Chronic illness is usually characterized by low voltage
and a decrease in the frequency of the affected organ. Restoration of health
must involve correcting both the voltage and the frequency of each cell
and providing the nutrition necessary to make good new cells.
Perhaps the group that focuses on this concept more than most is the so-
called “German New Medicine” as described by Ryke Geerd Hamer, M.D.
Dr. Hamer’s son was killed and shortly after, Dr. Hamer developed cancer.
He began to search his records and found that many cancer patients had an
emotional event before developing their cancer.
ST36 anxiety
TH15 worry
BioTerminal Emotion
Main Cable Anger
Head Irritability
Neck Grief
Chest Joy
Abdomen Worry
Pelvis Fear
What made me question those assumptions was noticing that correcting the
voltage in the BioTerminals often changed people’s emotions. For
example, we corrected the voltage in the Chest BioTerminal for a grumpy
woman. She called back to the office to thank us and tell us she was
laughing. She reported that she didn’t remember the last time she had
laughed. We didn’t do anything focused on her emotions. We just put
electrons into the Chest BioTerminal.
Perhaps the most powerful system of dealing with emotions is the Prenatal
Re-Imprinting (PNRI) developed by Dr. Joe DiRuzzo. Most people believe
that emotional patterns are learned during the first years of our life and are
controlled by our genetics. Psychotherapy is focused on the part of the
brain that thinks with the believe that one can change emotions and
behavior patterns by understanding them.
After the gastrula is formed with its three layers, the first structure to form
is a thickening of the ectoderm into what is called the neural plate. This
neural plate will eventually become the brain.
With PNRI, one can easily reprogram the recorder that keeps playing over
and over in the person’s mind that they aren’t wanted and that day to day
is a constant stress associated with fear.
Psych-K
Psych-K is another method I have seen work. It involves the use of muscle
testing to identify the primary and other causes of mental fatigue and
confusion. It then uses energy to release and retrain memories that are
helpful to the health of the person. Certified Psych-K therapists can be
found on the internet.
Summary:
We have three components to the human cell:
1. Hardware: this is the cell itself and its mechanical parts. This
portion is much like your computer hardware.
2. Electrical system: this gives the cell hardware the power to work.
Without a power supply or battery, your computer won’t work.
Neither will your body.
3. Software: this is the programming that tells the hardware what to
do. In your body, it is composed of the subconscious as well as
the Information that is received by your cells from your
environment or your perception of your environment. This
includes your spiritual connections. To some degree, the
subconscious is your operating system like Mac OS X or
Windows and your perception of your environment is other
software like Pages for Mac or Word for Windows.
Emotions are a constant companion of illness. Most people believe that the
emotional makeup of a person cannot be changed. That simply isn’t true.
The following things can dramatically change the happiness and health of
people:
1. Change the emotional maladaptations programmed during fetal
period with Prenatal Re-Imprinting
2. Correct thyroid levels
3. Correct neurochemicals with phytoplankton
4. Give adrenal support
5. Correct voltages of the BioTerminals
15 Nitric Oxide
One of the things necessary to make cells and keep them working is
oxygen. This comes to the cell by way of the hemoglobin in the blood. For
the blood to reach the tissue, there must be good circulation. Circulation is
accomplished with nitric oxide. Thus have adequate levels of nitric oxide
is critical for good health.
Nitric Oxide (NO) is a gas that serves as a signaling molecule in every cell
in the body.
1. It causes arteries and bronchioles to expand
2. It allows brain cells to communicate with each other
3. It causes immune cells to kill bacteria and cancer cells
In 1998, the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded jointly
to Robert F. Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro and Ferid Murad for their
discoveries that nitric oxide is a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular
system.
As you can see in the table, lack of NO (nitric oxide) is a controlling factor
in many illnesses that plague us.
On the average, Americans lose 10% of the ability to make NO for every
decade of life. This loss of NO plays a significant role in the development
of the diseases noted in the table.
A more recent finding is that NO is also made from nitrates and nitrites.
Nitrates turn into nitrites in the body which then turn into NO. Don’t be
confused by the generally held opinion that nitrates and nitrites are
poisonous. In the 1950s to the 1970s, there was found an association
between nitrates, nitrites and cancer. However, these were Relative Risks
as we have discussed in the chapter on medical studies. You will recall that
high Relative Risks can really be meaningless and that one should just
examine Absolute Risks.
In a summary report, the World Cancer Research Fund and the American
Institute for Cancer Research recommended avoiding processed meats
based on a meta-analysis showing a link between processed meats and
colorectal cancer with a Relative Risk of 21%. In 1994, the National
Cancer Institute stated that Relative Risks below 200 percent were not
strong enough to make public policy pronouncements about risk factors!
For this reason, a NO Index has been created. It takes into account:
1. The total amount of NO creating nitrate and nitrite in a food
2. The ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) of a food---its
amount of antioxidants (electron donors) available to protect the
NO
A test strip is now available that only requires one to spit on the strip. In
one minute, it tells you your levels! See

A study at Johns Hopkins was started giving l-arginine to people that had
suffered a heart attack. They found that it didn’t improve cardiac ejection
fractions or arterial stiffness. However, six people in the l-arginine group
died of another heart attack while none died in the placebo group.
Therefore the study was stopped and it was recommended that l-arginine
NOT be given to anyone that has had a heart attack.
Nitric oxide is synthesized by nitric oxide synthase (NOS). There are three
isoforms of the NOS enzyme:
1. Endothelial (eNOS): Signaling molecule--Calcium dependent;
produces low levels of gas as a cell signaling molecule
2. Neuronal (nNOS): Signaling molecule--Calcium dependent;
produces low levels of gas as a cell signaling molecule
3. Inducible (Immune System) (iNOS)--Calcium Independent;
produces large amounts of gas which can be cytotoxic
2 NO + Cl2--> 2 NOCl.
Nitrosyl fluoride reacts with water to form nitrous acid, which then forms
nitric acid:
An often overlooked fact is that the amino acids in the foods listed are only
available if you have stomach acid to convert the proteins that are in the
listed foods into amino acids. If you don’t have stomach acid, the amino
acids are not available and you can’t make NO. Remember that to make
stomach acid, you need Vitamin B1, iodine, and zinc. Without stomach
acid, you can’t absorb zinc even if you take it, so you have to take a
Betaine tablet with the zinc so it will be absorbed.
Fungus is the kingdom of organisms that includes yeasts, rusts, molds, and
mushrooms. Fungus has characteristics of both plants and animals. They
contain cell membranes surrounding a nucleus (like an animal cell)
whereas bacteria have no nucleus. They contain no chlorophyll to make
energy like plants but they create toxins and enzymes to consume organic
material from plants or animals. Fungus reproduces by spores (one-celled
reproductive units) that are asexual. Spores cannot be damaged even with
extreme heat and can lay dormant for years. They produce energy without
the use of oxygen (fermentation) (anaerobic).
Think about a leaf growing on a tree. It is covered with fungal spores that
are doing nothing. They are suppressed by the voltage of the leaf. Since
the leaf is living, it contains voltage. If the tree becomes sick, the voltage
of the leaf can drop. However, when the season comes for the leaf to drop
to the ground, the voltage in the leaf drops significantly. As it does so, this
signals the fungus to “wake up” and convert from a spore to its adult form.
This fungus does what fungus is designed to do. It converts the leaf to its
component parts of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. These become
what we call “dirt” or “soil”. The scientific name given this dirt is “humic
acid”. Humic acid is not a single acid like hydrochloric acid. Rather it is
the combination of the components of what used to be a leaf.
A small portion of the humic acid is called “fulvic acid”. Fulvic is the key
that opens cell membranes so that nutrition can pass into cells.
Now a seed is blown into the dirt. The seed needs nutrients. The fulvic
acid in the soil opens the membranes of the seed and allow humic to flow
into the seed. If the necessary water is present, it begins to grow. It grows
into a plant containing vitamins, minerals, amino acids along with humic
and fulvic acid.
The human pulls the plant and eats it. Now the human contains the humic,
fulvic, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids needed for cells to work. The
fulvic opens the cells of the human so nutrition can flow into the cell. The
human is now able to make new cells and grow and repair itself until death
finally occurs and the human is returned to dirt the same way the dead leaf
was. Fungus renders the human into dirt with its component parts.
The problem of illness starts with pesticides. The pesticides that farmers
put on the soil kills the fungus. That means that there is no longer a
process to continuously provide soil with humic and fulvic. Eventually the
plants won’t grow. Then the farmer adds fertilizer so the plants will grow.
The fertilizer contains potassium, phosphorous, and nitrogen. These make
the plant grow, but they are deficient in vitamins, minerals, amino acids,
humic and fulvic. We pull this plant and eat it, but such plants have almost
no nutrition. Since these plants don’t have humic and fulvic, eventually the
human becomes deficient in them as well. Without fulvic, the nutrients
taken can’t enter the cells and so the cell struggles for nutrition. Disease
isn’t far behind.
There are about 70,000 species of fungi, 200 of which cause disease in
humans. The number of human fungal infections is directly related to the
amount of antibiotics (fungal derivatives) consumed by the patient. The
more antibiotics consumed means more secondary fungal infections.
Antibiotics are consumed as medical therapy and in our food as most
meat-producing animals and birds are given antibiotics to increase and
speed up their growth.
The yeast Candida albicans has become the fourth most frequent hospital
infection. Eight variations of Candida cause disease in man. Candida
usually enter the body by way of the intestine when the guts’ good bacteria
are killed by antibiotics.
In the 1930s Royal Rife identified material that could be filtered from
bacteria through a ceramic filters that only allowed passage of things
smaller than 300 microns. He called them “filterable bacteria” because
they could cause disease in animals. Particles smaller than 300 microns are
now considered to be fungal spores or viruses. Bacteria are around 1000
microns (1,000,000 nanometers) in diameter.
Fungi and bacteria compete with each other for their food supply. Good
bacteria in the gut help retard the growth of fungi. Fungi produce
“antibiotics” to kill the bacteria. Pharmaceutical companies use fungi to
make antibiotics like penicillin.
Aspergillus molds are the major producers of aflatoxin. Aflatoxins are the
most potent liver carcinogens in the world.
It apparently has not been studied. However, if this same thing happens in
humans, it would explain what is normally called “random mutation” of
DNA in cancer patients. Thus as voltage drops, fungus in the human wakes
up and infects human cells. It could be that the fungus then takes over the
DNA changing the cell into a cancer cell. Making more fungus makes
more cancer cells. Since the role of fungus is to decompose dead organic
material, it performs this role. However, it is accomplished inside an
organism that is still alive until it finally kills the organism.

When you take antibiotics (fungal toxins), they kill bacteria but nothing
kills them. The amount of fungal infections in your body is directly related
to the amount of antibiotics you have taken.
When animals were fed moldy feed, it was noticed that they put on weight
faster and in greater amounts! Thus farmers began to give their animals
antibiotics (mold products). When you eat farm animals/fish that have
been fed fungus, you eat fungus/fungal toxins.
Like other animals, humans put on weight faster when they consume
antibiotics either as a prescription medication or in meat from animals that
were fed antibiotics.
Patients who are allergic to penicillin have very few antibodies against
penicillin in their blood. People who are allergic to penicillin are filled
with fungus/fungal toxins. A small addition of more fungus (penicillin
tablet) causes the body to be overwhelmed with rashes and can lead to
death.
Other drugs associated with greater risk of NHL were use of digitalis and
estrogen replacement therapy by women, use of corticosteroids, and
greater than or equal to 2 months of use of tranquilizers.
NHL was strongly associated with a prior history of cancer. Cases more
frequently reported histories of kidney infections and anemia than did
controls; a history of eczema appeared to be protective against NHL.
We see that fungus has the amazing duality of both preventing disease by
creating humic and fulvic acid to provide nutrition to the cells of living
things and to cause disease when it finds that cells have low voltage. When
the voltage is low enough, fungus causes cancer. All of this is controlled
by voltage because voltage controls oxygen levels and oxygen levels
control fungus.
Farming practices of using pesticides and fertilizers create foods that have
little nutrition. In addition, they don’t contain adequate amounts of humic
and fulvic to keep the human that eats these foods healthy.
Humic and Fulvic Supplements
I have always tried to understand how the universe works. Since cells are
simply a fractal (smaller duplicate of a larger whole) of the universe, if I
can understand how the universe works, I can understand how to make a
cell work correctly.
Think about a leaf on a tree. Since the leaf is alive, it contains voltage.
Since it contains voltage, it also contains oxygen. Remember that the
amount of oxygen in water is controlled by the voltage of the water.
Oxygen controls fungus. Thus the fungal spores that are always present on
leaves will be suppressed by the oxygen. Also remember that as oxygen
disappears, cell-wall-deficient organisms move toward becoming fungal
forms. These cell-wall-deficient are part of every living organism. You
may want to revisit the chapter on infections and refresh your understand
of what are called L-forms.
Now the leaf falls off the tree as winter approaches. As the leaf loses its
voltage when separated from the tree, it also loses its oxygen. This loss of
oxygen causes cell-wall-deficient organisms to become fungus and the
fungal spores on the leaf to “wake up”. Then the fungus does what it was
designed to do. It begins the process of turning the leaf back into “dirt”.
This “dirt” contains a mixture of organic acids called “humic acid”. A
series of complex acids in the humic is called “fulvic acid”. It contains all
the known vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
Now a seed blows into the dirt. With the addition of water, the fulvic
opens the cell membrane of the seed allowing the humic to enter the seed.
With this nutrition and water, the seed grows into a plant containing the
humic/fulvic complexes.
When we eat this plant, our bodies get their necessary humic/fulvic so that
our cell membranes are controlled and our cells nourished. The fulvic
supplies voltage and the humic provides the vitamins, minerals, and amino
acids to make new cells. All that is missing is fats.
Unfortunately, farmers use pesticides to kill the fungus. So after a time, the
soil becomes depleted of humic/fulvic so the seeds they plant won’t grow.
Thus they add fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium
(NPK fertilizers). This will allow the plants to grow, but they lack much of
the nutrition needed for healthy cells. Thus our farming practices allow for
more produce but it significantly less nutritious than naturally occurring
(organic) produce. Add to that the fact that most of our seeds have a
pesticide added to their DNA (genetically modified seeds), and we have a
food supply that is less than nutritious and filled with pesticides.
The value of maintaining the electric potential of our cells can be shown
by an experiment that was done by researchers on a giant amoeba, which is
a microscopic single cell animal. Under a microscope the electrical
potential of the amoeba, which is normally 20 millivolts (the difference in
charge between inside and outside the cell), was depressed to zero. The
researchers then noticed astonishing changes as the amoeba became
dysfunctional, the outer membrane then ruptured in several places, and
internal components began to flow into the surrounding fluid. At that point
researchers visually concluded that the form and structure of the amoeba
had disintegrated and was for all purposes dead.
This study determined that likely results could be expected by any loss of
electrical potential on the cellular level in our own bodies, such as caused
by an unbalanced diet, an acidic pH, low cellular oxygenation, loss of
sleep, stress, overwhelming emotions, infections, etc., our cells become
weakened, cannot function as effectively and can die.
When our cells are not functioning properly and become weakened and
even die, we feel this as loss of vitality. We experience fatigue, illnesses,
disease and even death. Humic and Fulvic are vitally important
electrolytes to establishing and maintaining a healthy cellular membrane
potential. When we receive all these nutrients we naturally feel better and
more alive. Equally important to humic and fulvic’s role in nutrient
activation and delivery to the cells for superior health is fulvic’s ability to
improve waste and toxin removal from cells and tissues by restoring
cellular membrane electrical difference between inside and outside of each
cell.
Humic and Fulvic Carry these organic minerals out of the soil into the
plant and on to the plant cells where they are needed in just about every
metabolic “life-giving and sustaining” process. Humic and fulvic are
nature’s own nutrient activation and delivery system. Humic and fulvic
make it possible for plants receive the nutrition, especially minerals,
needed to be healthy and thrive. ...and to carry out a host of vital, life-
giving functions.
We rely on these microorganisms and the humic and fulvic they produce
just as much as plants to be healthy and thrive also. When we consume
plants—humic and fulvic naturally carry all 74+ activated organic, ionic
“cell-ready” minerals, the vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients to our
cells where they are needed to support all of our metabolic “life-giving and
sustaining” processes too...
Because fulvic nutrients are in their organic, ionic natural forms, our
bodies have no difficulties using them immediately. We need humic and
fulvic along with the 74+ organic, ionic minerals, 13 vitamins, 18 amino
acids, and other vital nutrients they naturally carry as much as plants to be
healthy and thrive!
But we don’t live 100 years ago...Our US crop plants contain only a
fraction...as much as 80% less of the humic substances, especially fulvic,
along with the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, phytochemicals, and other
nutrients humic and fulvic naturally carry than they did a century ago
according to the US Department of Agriculture, (USDA). This is
shocking......and this has farreaching consequences.
So, despite even the best efforts to eat a balanced diet, our food sources no
longer contain the vitamins, fulvic minerals and nutrients our bodies need
to stay healthy and strong.
Cancer cells are produced routinely in our body, and can typically be
handled by our amazing immune systems and cells. But in a state of
chronic acidity, cancer cells thrive and our immune systems become
weakened. Our immune cells can become stretched to their limit because
they must also address other aspects of chronic acidity, so that cancer cells
can proliferate.
The incidence of cancer has skyrocketed since the beginning of the 1960s.
The national institute of health (NIH) recently reported that cancer is now
expected to affect 1 in every 3 females and 1 in every 2 males compared to
1964 statistics of only 1 in 261 people. The increase in incidence of other
degenerative diseases is equally sharp and alarming.
Humic and fulvic naturally carry with them in their structures all the
vitamins, over 74 organic, ionic minerals along with elements such as
phytochemicals, natural sterols, hormones, fatty acids, polyphenols, and
ketones, including flavonoids, flavones, flavins, catechins, tannins,
quinones, isoflavones, tocopherols, and others. All of these are vital
nutrients our bodies need every day...activated into their organic, ionic
forms so our cells can recognize and use them immediately...in just the
right proportions...and transported into our cells right where we need them
to help keep our bodies healthy and strong.
Each cell in our bodies requires a complex interaction of all the vitamins,
over 74 minerals, amino acids and other elements and nutrients to function
optimally. They all must be present or things don’t work as well as they
should. In the case of minerals, for every mineral, such as calcium, there
are several other minerals that must be present in the proper amount and in
turn, those minerals must have other minerals present, or the mineral will
not do the job required by the human body. In addition, vitamins are
cofactors to minerals-and they need each other to work.
The mineral wheel diagram shows the complex interactions that minerals
have with each other. Note all its interactions with just these 23 minerals.
It’s already hard enough to imagine the complexity if all 74+ minerals our
bodies need were included. You can see that some minerals require other
minerals to be present to do their job (single arrows on the lines of the
mineral wheel, calcium (Ca) and manganese (Mn) for example). Other
minerals interfere with another’s bioavailability so it can’t be used by the
body (double, opposing arrows on the lines of the mineral wheel). Calcium
(Ca+2) and magnesium (Mg+2) are good examples that must be present in
just the right proportions to be effective. If they are not in proportion the
opposite of the intended effect occurs.
Example: Many people think they need to supplement just zinc (Zn), but
too much zinc affects copper (Cu) metabolism. If down-regulated for a
period of time this can cause anemia because of copper’s role with iron
(Fe) and the production of hemoglobin, among other things. So, how do
you really know you need zinc? How much do you need? How much
copper? How much iron? How much of all the other minerals that affect or
are affected by supplementing just these three?
Humic and fulvic in Mother Earth’s Labs’ humic and fulvic products are
derived from the highest quality humic deposits located in the wilderness
Fruitland formation located in the Northwest corner of New Mexico in the
United States. It is well known to be among the finest freshwater humic
deposits in the world because of its very high humic and fulvic content and
its purity. The Fruitland Formation is a pristine, remote mountainous
wilderness area in northwest New Mexico.
It is important to remember that humic and fulvic can amplify the effects
of many supplements and may also amplify the effects of prescription
medications. Conversely humic and fulvic are also powerful detoxifying
agents and may alter the effective dose of prescription medications
because many medications are foreign or toxic substances to the body and
can be removed by fulvic from the body thereby reducing a medication’s
effects.
Many of the people who learn about the power of humic and fulvic do so
when they are facing a health challenge and looking for allies to help them
on their path to restore their good health. Humic and fulvic are very potent
allies helping restore natural body functions, boost immune response, and
enable our body’s own amazing ability to heal itself whenever possible by
providing the nutrients it needs and energizing the cells to achieve the
balance they need to carry out normal functions.
Because there is no danger of toxic buildup many people can take as much
as 3 ounces 3 times per day depending on their need. Mother Earth’s
humic and fulvic products are very concentrated so it is important to start
slowly and work up. If you listen to your body, it will tell you and adjust
as needed.

I have had her create a product with both. I call it Raw Materials since it
has most of the nutrients necessary to make new cells. It is deficient in
iodine, omega-3 fats, vitamin C, vitamin D3 and vitamin B12/folic so I ask
people to take them as well.
