Amazing Novel Treatment For Autism

by ProfKeith on January 28, 2012

There is a lot to be gained from suppressing inflammation, especially when it affects the brain. I saw some astonishing recoveries in the 1980s and 90s, removing inflammatory foods from the diets of kids with autism. I was one of the leading pioneers, worldwide, in treating autism holistically.

Here’s a completely novel way to suppress brain inflammation is autistics! Deliberate infections with parasitic worms!
Last year a case was published in The Scientist (Feb 2011) of a father’s search for a cure for his autistic son, Lawrence, which led him to the “helminth therapy”, or the deliberate infection of the patient with worms; in this case Trichuris suis, the pig whipworm.

No question the patient, Lawrence Johnson, was in a bad way. By his teenage years, he had veered into the dangerous realm of self abuse. He smashed his head against the wall dozens of times a day. He bit himself until he bled. He gouged at his eyes and tore at his face. A normal school experience was virtually impossible. He couldn’t walk a single block from the family’s Brooklyn brownstone without kicking and screaming when a traffic light changed at the wrong moment or streets were crossed in an unacceptable order.

Over the years, the Johnsons tried several treatments to curb Lawrence’s violent and disruptive outbreaks, including every pharmaceutical that could potentially treat his problems—antiseizure medications, serotonin-reuptake inhibitors, atypical antipsychotics, lithium, and others in various combinations.

At best these heavy medications offered momentary reprieves from what the Johnsons called Lawrence’s “freak outs.” But any improvements in the boy’s behavior were usually short-lived.

Cancer Is Not An Apricot Deficiency!

by ProfKeith on January 28, 2012

Diet Wise has always been my best-seller. If you haven’t got that, you are just not serious about safe, healthy eating (as opposed to fad programs).

But right up there close is my “Cancer Research Secrets”. It sells a lot because people are scared of cancer. This disease does have a dread reputation. You see movie stars wasting away in front of the paparazzi and you figure “Well, they have all the money. They can afford the best available treatment and it’s still killing them.”

What’s wrong with that line of logic is that movie stars might have the money and the most costly doctors. But that doesn’t mean they get the best treatment. Far from it. Jackie Onassis was literally KILLED by experimental unproven treatment from her oncologist.

The truth is that doctors cannot take over our own health. Even if doctors were terrific at what they profess to do, you’d still be crazy to hand over your own body to their care. It’s your life. You should captain the ship.

And when it comes to cancer control, you’d be mad to surrender to conventional care. It’s clear that the “cancer industry” is NOT about curing or even helping people. It’s about profits. They don’t want cures, as can be seen by the fury with which they attack doctors who promote safe and cheap alternatives to their cruel “death machine”. [click to continue…]

Yet Again They Attack “Red Meat”

by ProfKeith on January 28, 2012

That’s red meat in quotes because they didn’t test red meat—they tested red meat AND processed meat junk combined. Then tell us red meat is bad. Duh!

You’ll hear incessant bleatings that red meat is bad and we shouldn’t eat it; it leads to heart disease, strokes etc. This is all NONSENSE. You put poison with good food, feed it to people and say “don’t eat this, it hurts people.” That just condemns good food.

We NEED meat. It’s our ancestral food (Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon man were big meat eaters). Red meat, such as beef, contains important food substances we need, such as carnitine and omega-3s. Yes, believe it or not, grass-fed beef is the richest source of omega-3s we have (this does not apply to grain-fed beef, of course, even though grains are technically grass).

This is where it gets stupid, because carnitine is used as a treatment for vascular disease. Several clinical trials show that L-carnitine and propionyl-L-carnitine can be used along with conventional treatment for angina to reduce medication needs and improve the ability of those with angina to exercise without chest pain.

Do Gangs Steal Kidneys?

by ProfKeith on January 20, 2012

It’s a persistent story: that somebody falls asleep (maybe drugged) and wakes up to find a kidney missing. It’s been grabbed by some crooks, to sell on the black market. But is there any truth in this? I found the following at TheStraightDope.com…

The facts: There are no documented cases of kidneynapping, or for that matter any killing, abduction, or mutilation for purposes of organ theft in the United States. The National Kidney Foundation, which fears this persistent myth will scare off donors, has asked victims of organ theft to step forward. So far no takers.

While I suppose it’s possible to remove somebody’s kidneys with a paper plate and an X-acto knife, as a practical matter it can’t be done. The operation customarily takes a five-person surgical team working for three or four hours in a sterile operating room. Much of the equipment required (anesthesia machines, operating tables) is bulky and not the sort of thing you could readily sneak into an apartment, hotel room, etc. The tissue and blood types of the donor and donee must be precisely matched; you can’t just grab the first mope you see in a bar.

Liver Cancer Cases Tripled

by ProfKeith on January 20, 2012

Two new studies from the Mayo Clinic find that hepatitis B and C infection and obesity could be to blame for a surge in liver cancer cases, which have tripled over the last 30 years.
If you want to keep a healthy liver, you need to keep your weight in trim. It’s vital—for this reason and all the other reasons I’ve explained. If you already have hepatitis C, you need to get it fixed. The best we have to date is reducing body load, to help your immune system, a major heavy metal detox and complex homeopathy (homotoxicology).

Injectable licorice root has also got some reasonable science, showing that it helps with hepatitis C (don’t eat the candy junk in American stores; it’s not licorice but flavored with anise). You want glycyrrhizin. But this compound may have unwanted side effects, such as raised blood pressure, lowered potassium levels, and salt and water retention when taken in large amounts. Ironically, it can be liver-toxic.

Get expert help.

I’m not talking about cancer metastases to the liver (spread from elsewhere). This is about primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or liver cancer. In the later stages it has only a 10 percent to 12 percent five-year survival rate, according to figures in a Mayo news release.

The researchers examined several decades of medical information from the Rochester Epidemiology Project — a national database on inpatient and outpatient care. Although the U.S. National Cancer Institute estimates the rate of HCC is 5.1 cases per 100,000 people, the new study found a higher rate of 6.9 per 100,000. People are getting liver cancer as a result of scarring from hepatitis C after delays of 20 or even 30 years.

Patients in their 50s and 60s are being diagnosed, who didn’t even know they had had hepatitis C. If you’ve led the high risk life, you need to get checked. Don’t wait till you start to turn yellow!

A slightly higher risk factor for HCC liver cancer was found to be obesity, particularly fatty liver disease. If this is correct, we expect to see a dramatic rise in liver cancer in the coming years.
