I think Sydney opera house is one of the four most beautiful and iconic buildings in the world—and I’ve seen the other three: the Taj Mahal, The Alhambra and the Mesquite in Cordoba (Spain). I finally got to see it in person and went to a performance of Don Giovanni. This picture I took from Sydney harbor bridge.

It filled my heart more than taking pictures of kangaroos, kookaburras and koalas!

I was in Australia to further my researches into human genomics, more of that imminently. While I was there I also held a seminar on the topic of my upcoming book—the re-write of Virtual Medicine—called Medicine Beyond. Lots more on that seminar coming up too.

Meantime, I find the world has been getting in a flap about Ebola. Several correspondents want my take on this. Sure…

Ebola…NOT!

The last Ebola outbreak in Zaire was NOT an epidemic (and absolutely not even close to a pandemic). The “outbreak” was caused by a bunch of irresponsible nuns/nurses using contaminated syringes, not auto claved properly. People had literally been killed by the hospital they turned to for safe medicine: as told by Richard Preston in his hair-raising scary book The Hot Zone, about the first Marburg and Ebola outbreaks (Ebola was brought to Washington in 1989 and could have run wild but thankfully it didn’t).

A fantastic book by the way; I bet his sales have gone up astronomically! Stephen King (the spook writer) said of this book, “The first chapter of The Hot Zone is one of the most horrifying things I have ever read in my whole life…and then it gets worse.” I have had a copy on my shelf since it was published in 1994.

What’s the real story in 2014? As usual, it’s a media feeding-frenzy of fear, lies, disinformation and mind-control. Governments want you to be scared, so they can tighten their grip to “protect” you. You are being brain-washed to feel you could likely die, except they “they” (and they alone) can save you. More drugs, more vaccines, more worthless medical tests and more population control hoaxes.

It’s even being debated whether drugs that have not been tested for safety in humans should be used.¹ What a money-making feast for Big Pharma that would be. If ONLY they could convince us that it’s really “necessary” to trot out these experimental substances, to “save lives”. They don’t even have to work and if the victims die…well, it was the Ebola virus that killed them, not the drugs!

Just to raise the scary level, it’s even being reported that a Saudi man “being tested for Ebola” has died and “if” there is a connection, he would be the first death outside of the four affected West African countries. Now read that media hog-wash again, carefully: it’s a man “being tested” for Ebola, not a victim of the disease at all. Still, the CDC report will hope you didn’t notice the tricky wording. That’s how they function.

What do we really know about these viral deaths? Not a lot. How many are Ebola? Not many I expect. What is the real cause of death here? A virus? Weakened immune systems? What does it really mean when we say somebody died of TB, for instance? We know people do not die of TB, unless they are weakened with malnutrition. You need to throw in some stress and pain too, like unrequited love, just as the Victorian authors told us.

So who are the victims of this supposed disease outbreak. As a most wonderful physician, Sir William Osler wrote: it’s more important to concentrate on the patient who has the disease than on the disease itself. That’s what we do in good holistic medicine: we treat the patient, heal him or her, and then the disease goes away, as if by magic.

Here, as Jon Rappaport correctly points out, the native population in the “hot zone” areas of Ebola, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia, has been weakened for a long time by decades of war, extreme poverty, malnutrition, starvation, contaminated water supplies, exposure to toxic industrial chemicals, vast toxic overuse of antibiotics, pesticides (some of them banned in other countries), expired and unrefrigerated medicines, vaccines (which, when given to people whose immune systems are already hanging on by a thread, can be lethal). 

Yet the total emphasis is on the Ebola virus. Who knows what the people (including health workers) in those areas have really been exposed to? A toxic chemical, for example, could cause explosive bleeding.

Vitamin C deficiency (scurvy) is characterized by bleeding from the mouth and intestines. That sounds like Ebola, doesn’t it? But never a hint that anything but the virus is causing the damage. We know that infections of any kind up the body’s thirst for vitamin C. As Frederick Klenner MD found out in the 1930s, you can give a sick patient fighting a fever 100s of grams of vitamin C and it STILL doesn’t spill over into the urine as unnecessary excess (implying the body needs HUGE amounts at times of such duress).

So even a mild viral infection can push a person into “functional scurvy” (a term I just made up). So wouldn’t you expect a really nasty one, like Ebola, could do it? So how many Ebola victims could be saved by pumping them all full of IV vitamin C, 100s of grams a day? Almost all of them, I should think.

How many will get life-saving IV vitamin C in this outbreak? None. It’s dirt cheap and Big Pharma makes no profit. They would rather sell their untried chemical garbage and make a killing…yes, I chose that pun deliberately.

What To Do?

Worse case scenario; there is an outbreak in your territory.

Don’t call me! Instead dose yourself heavily with vitamin C. If you read Frederick Klenner’s writings, you see his family and the neighbors all got great results from eating boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum)², which he claimed supplied each person with 10 – 30 grams at a time and helped all his family survive the “Great Flu”, when all others around were dying like flies. It was made into a (very nasty tasting) tea. You can try Acerola berry and others.

Better to take vitamin C (ascorbic acid) as a supplement; you can achieve far higher doses. Warning: IGNORE THE ENDLESS MORONIC POSTINGS (all copied from each other) TELLING YOU SYNTHETIC VITAMIN C IS ASCORBIC ACID IS DANGEROUS.

Ascorbic acid is ascorbic acid, the chemical name for what your body likes and needs. Frederick Klenner, Linus Pauling, and me, all use and support synthetic vitamin C. I’ve seen it work miracles of recovery and idiots like this girl on this page, a “home economist” who know NOTHING about health and medicine, should be banned from internet postings.

You need more than the 2 grams Linus Pauling says, in my view. Goats make themselves about 12 – 15 grams a day; why not us? I think at least 10 grams is healthy. You can do that easily with Thomas Levy’s Lipospheric C (www.LivOnLabs.com) 1 sachet is equivalent to an absorption rate of about 10 grams taken orally.

A recent clinical trial by world-renowned vitamin C expert and pharmacologist, Steve Hickey, PhD, shows that Liposomal Vitamin C is able to produce serum levels of vitamin C nearly double those thought theoretically possible with any oral form of vitamin C. This astounding level of bio-availability not only dramatically increases the amount of vitamin C in the blood, but recent thermographic microscopy provides visible evidence that it also aids its entry into individual cells.

 And, Of Course, Chlorine Dioxide Protocol

Stay away from the loony rantings of Jim Humble (Jim Humbug, I call him). But no question he hit on something great. I give him credit for that…and a mile-wide megalomania.

These days you have governments and the FDA “protecting” you from this life-saving substance, once marketed as MMS. Now you have to buy it as hypochlorite powder and make your own. You add it to water, count out the drops and activate it with a mild acid, such as lemon juice of citric acid. I call it chlorine dioxide protocol, which is correct. “Magic Minerals Solution” is NOT correct.

You can get it from Amazon, as for example on this page, which is linked from your Amazon shopping cart.

Meantime, let me quote brilliant investigative journalist Jon Rappaport one more time:

The majority of people who die on planet Earth in 2014 are dying from starvation, malnutrition, contaminated water, lack of basic sanitation, overcrowding, poverty, war—and the idea that medical drugs and vaccines will stem that tide is absurd and insane.

What I do know for sure is that if any deaths in the Western world do occur from this Ebola outbreak, it will be due to medical interference and incompetence, not nature.

Anyone Can Be Overloaded With Toxins

Some would prefer to think they’re not.

If your health is not perfect, you’re habitually low on energy, have trouble keeping your weight down or your blood pressure in the normalrange, or constantly dealing with inflammation or pain, or indeed have any medical condition that is adversely affecting your health, then there’s likely to be a toxin, heavy metal, virus, bacteria, fungus, or parasite playing a part.

Mainstream medicine will typically respond by loading you up with additional pollutants, many of which indiscriminately kill healthy tissue while going after “the bad guys” to deal with the symptoms. Not so with chlorine dioxide. It only acts on anything harmful. The more you think about how quickly you could be overloaded with toxins and fall ill, the more you become aware that you need natural protocols like chlorine dioxide.

You can find this protocol and many more like it in my best selling book: “How to Survive in a World Without Antibiotics.”

Traditional healthcare is referred to as Western medicine because it is traditionally used by the United States and Western Europe.  It is defined as the medical treatment based on the use of drugs and surgery to treat symptoms (signs of illness).

Alternative medicine covers a broad range of treatments and is also referred to as complimentary alternative medicine (CAM).  Practitioners emphasize education, prevention of disease, and holistic treatment.

Some of the most well-known alternative treatments include acupuncture, aromatherapy, chiropractic, herbal medicine, homeopathy, massage, meditation, therapeutic touch, and yoga.

The Pros of Traditional Healthcare

Scientific evidence based medicine uses the application of a scientific process to distinguish outcomes due to chance from outcomes that are reproducible and reliable.  Western medicine has been heavily researched over the years and is considered reliable for this reason.

Traditional medicine treats the body part or symptom of the disease, which earns it criticism for neglecting the big picture of total body care.  Doctors prescribe medicine to control symptoms while they search for the root cause but one prescription leads to another.

For a patient with chronic illness, the root cause may be masked by pharmaceuticals so they never get better – they simply feel better.

The development of better diagnostic tools, safer surgical procedures, and post-operative care have minimized many of the most terrifying aspects of traditional healthcare.

The Pros of Alternative Medicine

Alternative medicine has been criticized for lacking scientific-based evidence.  Modern practitioners of alternative medicine are transitioning to a more evidence-based approach as well.

The cornerstone of alternative medicine is that patients are encouraged to participate and take responsibility in their health.  It recognizes and stresses changing lifestyle habits that affect your health.

Proper nutrition, exercise, rest, and emotional balance are critical to physiological well-being. 

Alternative medicine takes a whole body approach when preforming treatment.  There is great emphasis on preventing disease as opposed to treating the symptoms of disease.

Blending Two Systems for Better Health

Alternative medicine and traditional medicine are on opposite sides of the health pendulum and both sides earn criticism.

Modern healthcare is slowly evolving.  Referred to as integrative medicine because of the blend of treatment modalities, this system focuses on the ability of the body to heal itself but also places value on the patient/physician relationship.

Integrative medicine uses a combination of traditional and complimentary in order to facilitate healing in the best possible way.  Integrative practices are taught at most medical schools and several peer-reviewed studies have been done on the topic as well.

Integrative medicine combines the best of the health worlds for safe and efficient healthcare.

Regardless of treatment, it is well accepted that overall health is not a one-step process.  Your health – no matter which system you lean toward – depends heavily on your lifestyle choices.  Good habits and changes to your everyday behaviors can reduce the severity and even cure many chronic illnesses.  A healthy lifestyle drastically reduces your risk of disease.

• Proper nutrition
• Adequate sleep
• Exercise
• Emotional and spiritual balance

A healthy lifestyle is the greatest defense against disease.  The future of modern medicine relies on educating patients – and teaching children – that healthy choices each and every day lead to a longer and stronger life.

Integrative medicine is facilitating traditional medicine’s shift to the prevention of disease rather than the treatment of disease.  Focus on natural healthy living while using the best aspects of traditional and alternative treatment creates a sustainable healthcare plan.

Over the last several decades, over-use of antibiotics has reached an all-time high. The result has been drug-resistant bacteria and “superbugs” that evolve faster than scientists can figure out how to fight them. A future where bacteria are at the top of the food chain is not unheard of.

Long before there were pharmaceutical antibiotics – developed in the 1940s, there were foods and herbs that helped guard against infection and disease on a daily basis. Many of these natural defenders are still in use today with holistic healers around the globe.

These natural antibiotics are available to you right now!

Instead of waiting until you get sick or discover that drugs don’t work on whatever strain of virus or disease you have, you can start building up your immune system in advance.

These foods and herbs haven’t lost their ability to fight bacteria. Bugs do not become immune or resistant to them. From hundreds of years ago to our modern time, what worked then still works today.

They are known as “astringent” foods – they naturally cleanse your blood without harmful side effects or upsetting the delicate balance of good bacteria in your body.

Top Ten Natural Antibiotics

1. Garlic:
Raw garlic when crushed or chewed contains a compound called allicin – which has similar properties to penicillin.

This superfood member of the onion family is antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal, and antioxidant (mopping up free radicals that have been proven to cause cancer).

For more than seven millennia, it has been used internally and externally to treat mild illness to serious diseases.

Everything from inflammation to colds to serious infections is minimized and/or obliterated with the addition of garlic and for those who don’t enjoy the taste, there are supplements as well. Check into “aged” garlic supplements for the best results.

Garlic is not only potent, it contains a host of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that are beneficial to total body wellness. Not to mention the cost is pennies in comparison to doctor visits and prescriptions!

2. Honey:
Ancient Romans used honey on the battlefield to treat wounds and prevent infection.

Civilizations all over the world continue to consider honey one of the best natural antibiotics, antimicrobials, anti-inflammatories, and antiseptics known to man after thousands of years.

New Zealand’s Manuka honey has been proven to have the highest levels of antioxidants and curative powers.

An enzyme found in honey releases hydrogen peroxide. This process helps your body fight infection and prevents the growth of bacteria. Soothing to the digestive system, honey removes toxins from the blood and helps your liver operate more efficiently.

A great boost to the immune system, consider combining honey with cinnamon to strengthen your white blood cells! Raw, organic honey is the best option since most pasteurization methods kills the antioxidant effects.

3. Cabbage:
There are sulfur compounds found in cabbage – a member of the cruciferous family that includes broccoli and kale – that have been shown effective as cancer fighters.

What many people don’t realize is how much vitamin C is found in cabbage. One cup provides 75% of what you need every day.

Naturally antibacterial, eating shredded raw cabbage in your salad, as a side dish in the form of slaw, or drinking fresh cabbage juice (with honey added to sweeten) is an excellent way to improve digestion, prevent disease, and even manage your weight!

4. Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE):
The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine published a study that found grapefruit seed extract (GSE) effective against more than 800 forms of viruses and bacteria, more than a hundred strains of fungus, and many parasites.

High in many antioxidants, GSE boosts immunity, alkalizes the body naturally, and aids in digestion by improving your beneficial gut flora.

5. Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV):
The far-reaching benefits of daily doses of apple cider vinegar (ACV) include antibiotic and antiseptic properties, naturally alkalizing your system, and can aid you in everything from managing your weight to lowering cholesterol and your risk of cancer.

A chemical-free astringent, ACV can be used topically to disinfect and sterilize.

6. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil:
There is not enough that can be said for the benefits of coconut oil. It has naturally occurring anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties and is packed with antioxidants you can’t find anywhere else in nature.

Use it to boost your immune system, balance thyroid, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels, and even improve brain function. Safe to use internally and externally, coconut oil is one of the most versatile and unique gifts from Mother Nature.

Stir a spoonful into your morning coffee for added energy and a clearer head all day.

7. Echinacea:
With similar effects to garlic, Echinacea is well tolerated and able to stimulate the immune system by naturally boosting infection fighters in your blood stream. Native to North America, Echinacea has been used for centuries in tribal medicine to treat pain and sickness.

Unlike garlic, this antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral solution is generally used at the first signs of illness and should not be taken for more than ten days. It is available in liquid and capsule form.

8. Fermented Foods:
Probiotics are one of the most incredible discoveries in the last decade. They work to boost and preserve the natural gut flora (good bacteria) found in your digestive system.

Research has proven that a balanced gut is one of the keys to overall wellness and cancer prevention.

These good bacteria are so critical to your health that doctors now recommend a probiotic while their patients are on prescription antibiotics.

Fermented foods are packed with antioxidants and microorganisms that your body processes far better than supplements.

Unpasteurized sauerkraut, apple cider vinegar, raw pickles, probiotic yogurt, and kim chi (a Korean cabbage dish) are excellent ways to improve the balance in your intestines.

9. Colloidal Silver:
A natural antibiotic, colloidal silver is a mixture of silver particles suspended in fluid that have been used for centuries.

This treatment is temporary since too much silver – a heavy metal – can be toxic. However, it disables the enzyme that single-cell bacteria require to multiply. Deprived of their oxygen supply, the bacteria and viruses are destroyed without damage to you.

10. Oil of Oregano and Other Herbs:
Continued medical research has shown that many tried and true herbal remedies work as well today as they did hundreds of years ago.

Essential oils created from herbs long determined to be beneficial to human health are rapidly becoming holistic medicine’s go-to item. Mediterranean countries are the home of many of the most powerful, including oregano.

Oil of oregano is considered anti-microbial, antibacterial, anti-parasitic, anti-viral, and anti-fungal.

It can be used internally and externally in the treatment of wounds, respiratory problems, digestive upset, and even the common cold.

Packed with antioxidants known as phenols and flavonoids, it heals but also strengthens your immune system.

The natural antibiotic properties of many herbs are only now being analyzed and confirmed by scientists around the world.

They represent natural alternatives to boost your immunity and add an excellent variety to your food preparation.

Allspice, thyme, cinnamon, basil, rosemary, turmeric, cayenne, chili peppers, cloves, ginger, anise, mustard seed, and fennel are just a few natural herbs you should consider adding to your daily diet. Some are available in essential oils that increase their healing power.

Prescribed antibiotics kill all bacteria – both the good and the bad – leaving your body stripped of its natural ability to fight infection and ward off illness.

You are designed to heal yourself in most cases. By adding these natural food medicines to your life, you can actively work to keep your body healthy and in balance.

It’s important to research and discover the right foods that work for your life. Read your labels and if you’re allergic, don’t include that food item! That is counterproductive!

To find out more about natural healthy antibiotics, get the full story in my book “How To Survive in a World Without Antibiotics” right now!

You’ve heard of MRSA, everyone has heard of MRSA. But did you know it now kills more people than AIDS and is gaining ground fast?

It doesn’t require unusual sexual practices to spread; with the latest strain you can literally inhale it at your local club or supermarket. Many people did so and died rapidly as a result.

You probably know that one of the reasons we have antibiotic resistant bacteria threatening our very lives is that these wonder drugs have been overused. Doctors are partly to blame.

But did you know that the MAIN problem comes from farmers abusing antibiotics, administering them to livestock to keep them “healthy” while raising animals in cruel and unhygienic conditions?

This continuous feeding of antibiotics naturally creates resistant bacteria, which come to us in our food and so the problem is spread widely and uncontrollably.

Yes, doctors don’t take enough care in what they prescribe. But agriculture and the farming “industry” is probably the biggest culprit and the one that threatens your children the most. 70% of all antibiotics in the USA, for example, are fed to healthy chickens,pigs and cattle.

Unquestionably, sensible people don’t want to use antibiotics at all. So we should use other remedies first and only fall back on antibiotics when the threat is very serious.

Several months ago, Johns Hopkins School of medicine released a shocking report on the state of ignorance of this deadly issue. You won’t believe what they found!

The study authors conducted interviews with 100 parents (and other caregivers) of children hospitalized with new or established MRSA. Some of the children were symptom-free carriers who were hospitalized for other reasons, while others had active MRSA infections.

The researchers found that 18 of the parents had never heard of MRSA. That’s almost 20%!

29 of the parents said they didn’t know their child had MRSA. That’s almost a third!

20 of those children had been diagnosed with MRSA in hospital previously, yet their parents said they didn’t know about it. They were not told.

I mean, how bad does it get?

Of the remaining 71 parents who had been told of their child’s MRSA, 63 (89%) had concerns; 55 (77%) worried about subsequent MRSA infections; 36 (50%) worried about their child spreading MRSA to others; and 11 (16%) believed their child’s MRSA diagnosis would cause them to be shunned by friends and classmates.

I have said it before and I’ll say it again. Ignorance is the leading cause of death. People die who should not, because they give up responsibility for their health to doctors and think that means it’s all taken care of.

No-one can afford to be in ignorance of antibiotic resistance and what alternatives exist. It could cost you your life or that of a loved one.

Find out how my report covers EVERYTHING you need to know, from soapy water and drawing salves, through scores of fine natural remedies, to an array of PROVEN herbs and oils, to sophisticated modern devices that can blast microbes to smithereens, without harming a single cell in your body.

Did you know that 70% of all antibiotics in meat consumption goes, not to hospitals for administration to humans, but the farmers, to feed their livestock? That’s according to a careful study by the Union of Concerned Scientists — and that is the main reason we’re seeing the rise of pathogens that defy antibiotics.

While doctors are being urged not to use prophylactic antibiotics, even to protect human babies, farmers use them in huge quantities to protect baby calves, pigs and poultry. It’s worse than criminal. It’s INSANE.

It inevitably gives rise to resistant strains of bacteria, as you have learned. But these resistant, dangerous bugs don’t just hang out in the farmyard! They turn up in our food supply! We swallow them!

According to Pultizer prize winning New York Times writer Nicholas Kristof, “Five out of 90 samples of retail pork in Louisiana tested positive for MRSA — an antibiotic- resistant staph infection — according to a peer-reviewed study published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology.”

Antibiotics in Meat: It Starts With the Animal Feed

Another recent study of retail meats in the Washington, D.C., area found MRSA in one pork sample, out of 300, according to Jianghong Meng, the University of Maryland scholar who conducted the study.

Regardless of whether the bacteria came from the pigs or from humans who handled the meat, the results should sound an alarm bell, for MRSA already kills more than 18,000 Americans annually, more than AIDS does.

A new strain called ST398 is emerging and seems to find a reservoir in modern hog farms. Research by Peter Davies of the University of Minnesota suggests that 25 percent to 39 percent of American hogs carry MRSA.

Public health experts worry that pigs could pass on the infection by direct contact with their handlers, through their wastes leaking into ground water (one study has already found antibiotic-resistant bacteria entering ground water from hog farms), or through their meat, though there has been no proven case of someone getting it from eating pork.

Thorough cooking will kill the bacteria, but people often use the same knife to cut raw meat and then to chop vegetables. Or they plop a pork chop on a plate, cook it and then contaminate it by putting it back on the original plate.

Yet the central problem here isn’t pigs, it’s humans. Unlike Europe and even South Korea, the United States still bows to agribusiness interests by permitting the nontherapeutic use of antibiotics in animal feed. That’s unconscionable.

Would You Give A Healthy Animal Antibiotics?

The peer-reviewed Medical Clinics of North America ran an article last year that concluded that antibiotics in livestock feed were “a major component” in the rise in antibiotic resistance. The article said that more antibiotics were fed to animals in North Carolina alone than were administered to the nation’s entire human population.

“We don’t give antibiotics to healthy humans,” said Robert Martin, who led a Pew Commission on industrial farming that examined antibiotic use. “So why give them to healthy animals just so we can keep them in crowded and unsanitary conditions?” The answer is simple: greed.

Legislation to ban the non-therapeutic use of antibiotics in meat and in agriculture has always been blocked by agribusiness interests, a rich and very powerful lobby.

Louise Slaughter of New York, who is the sole microbiologist in the House of Representatives, said she planned to reintroduce the legislation this coming week. “We’re losing the ability to treat humans,” she said. “We have misused one of the best scientific products we’ve had.”

That’s an almost universal view in the public health world. The Infectious Diseases Society of America has declared antibiotic resistance a “public health crisis” and recounts the story of Rebecca Lohsen, a 17-year-old New Jersey girl who died from MRSA in 2006. She came down with what she thought was a sore throat, endured months in the hospital, and finally died because the microbes were too virulent for the drugs.

Again, let Nicholas Kristof speak: “This will be an important test for President Obama and his agriculture secretary, Tom Vilsack. Traditionally, the Agriculture Department has functioned mostly as a protector of agribusiness interests, but Mr. Obama and Mr. Vilsack have both said all the right things about looking after eaters as well as producers.

“So Mr. Obama and Mr. Vilsack, will you line up to curb the use of antibiotics in raising American livestock? That is evidence of an industrial farming system that is broken: for the sake of faster-growing hogs, we’re we’re empowering microbes that endanger our food supply and threaten our lives.”

It’s a viable alternative to antibiotics. I gave it some coverage in my blockbuster book of alternatives to antibiotics: How To Survive In A World Without Antibiotics.

The idea has been around since the 1920s and kept alive in Russia and Eastern Bloc countries, where phage therapies are used regularly. There was even some interest in the West, but after the discovery of antibiotics in the 1930s and 40s, doctors and scientists lost interest (as with the Rife machine and other antibiotic “alternatives”).

Today, with the collapse of antibiotics and the emergence of worldwide, dangerous and drug resistant bacteria, phage therapy suddenly starts to look attractive again and is being re-introduced here.

There may come a time when you have to trust your life to a bunch of invisible marauders, let loose in your body! Phage therapy has many potential applications in human medicine as well as dentistry, veterinary science, and agriculture.

People need to get over their natural revulsion at a virus infection. There are good guys out there! We have even developed “oncolytic” viruses, meaning they destroy cancer cells.

History of Phages

Phages (I’ll use the shorter term from now on) were first identified by English microbiologist Frederick Twort in 1915 and again in 1917 by French Canadian microbiologist Felix d’Herelle.

Not long after his discovery, d’Herelle used phages to treat dysentery, in what was probably the first attempt to use bacteriophages therapeutically. The studies were conducted at the Hôpital des Enfants-Malades in Paris in 1919 under the clinical supervision of Professor Victor-Henri Hutinel, the hospital’s Chief of Pediatrics.

The phage preparation was ingested by d’Herelle, Hutinel, and several hospital interns, in order to confirm its safety before administering it the next day to a 12-year-old boy with severe dysentery.¹

The patient’s symptoms ceased after a single administration of d’Herelle’s antidysentery phage, and the boy fully recovered within a few days. This experiment was never officially published.

The efficacy of the phage preparation was “confirmed” shortly afterwards, when three additional patients having bacterial dysentery and treated with one dose of the preparation started to recover within 24 hours of treatment.

The first study to enter the medical press came in 1921, when Richard Bruynoghe and Joseph Maisin used bacteriophages to treat staphylococcal skin disease.²

They injected bacteriophages into and around surgically opened lesions, and the authors reported regression of the infections within 24 to 48 hours. Several similarly promising studies followed, and encouraged by these early results, d’Herelle and others continued studies of the therapeutic use of phages.

For example d’Herelle used various phage preparations to treat successfully thousands of people having cholera and/or bubonic plague in India.¹

Specificity

Bacteriophages are much more specific than antibiotics, meaning one phage will only attack and “eat” one particular bacteria and no other. Each infection requires a particular phage to treat it. Consequently phage mixtures are often applied to improve the chances of success, or samples can be taken and an appropriate phage identified and grown.

On the plus side, phages can hypothetically be chosen to be indirectly harmless not only to the host organism (human, animal, or plant), but also to other beneficial bacteria, such as gut flora, thus reducing the chances of opportunistic infections.³

They have a high safety factor, that is, phage therapy would be expected to give rise to few side effects.

Another big advantage is that, since phages replicate inside the patient, a smaller effective dose can be used. In fact a repeat dose may not even be necessary.

Phages are currently being used therapeutically to treat bacterial infections that do not respond to conventional antibiotics, particularly in Russia and Georgia.⁴

Phages are especially promising for biofilms, bacteria which secrete themselves a protective polysaccharide layer, which antibiotics typically cannot penetrate.

Cold War Medicine

Isolated from Western advances in antibiotic production in the 1940s, Russian scientists continued to develop already successful phage therapy to treat the wounds of soldiers in field hospitals.

In WW2 phages were also used to treat many soldiers infected with various bacterial diseases e.g. dysentery and gangrene.

Russian researchers continued to develop and to refine their treatments and to publish their research and results.

However, due to the scientific barriers of the Cold War, this knowledge was not translated and did not proliferate across the world.

A summary of these publications was published in English in 2009 in “A Literature Review of the Practical Application of Bacteriophage Research” and my subscribers who are practitioners may want to pursue this reference.⁵

There is an extensive library and research center at the George Eliava Institute in Tbilisi, Georgia. Phage therapy today is a widespread form of treatment in that region and so far as I can determine, testing for phage strains for use in the United States has to be done via labs in Tsibilisi.

Acne Cure?

Phages could even open up a line of advance against that dread affliction of teenagers: acne. It turns out that those who don’t get acne have a phage-type virus on their facial skin.

It’s probably why the causal bacterium, Propionibacterium acnes, does not flourish and cause zits.⁶

Scientists have used genetic sequencing to identify 11 new viruses with the potential to kill the P. acnes bacteria that leads to intense breakouts. Other promising present-day research is pointed at bed sores, leprosy and drug-resistant staph infections.

What About Resistance to Phages?

Good question. It’s possible. But phages are live too and so they can fight back!

Just as bacteria can evolve resistance, viruses can evolve to overcome resistance (however, the ability to evolve raises certain safety questions).7

The body might also mount its own attack on phage viruses. I found one study from Poland in which that happened to 2 out of 44 cases. It’s always a theoretical complication.

A few research groups in the West are engineering a broader spectrum phage, and also a variety of forms of MRSA treatments, including impregnated wound dressings, preventative treatment for burn victims, phage-impregnated sutures.8

My own interest in this topic was refreshed last week, when I met a Russian MD well-versed in phage therapy. I had a friend in the same city who had been successfully treated for an MRSA infection, using phage therapy. This got me thinking…

I am pursuing more of this line of therapy and will keep you posted on future developments, including where to get supplies.

In the meantime get yourself a copy of How To Survive In A World Without Antibiotics — because you are in such a world already! It’s now available in a print version, as well as the quick, easy digital download.

This realization that an actual physical infection leads to arthritis is relatively new. Over the years, I’ve cured thousands of arthritis cases, using the food allergy/elimination approach.

So, how could that be? It’s not counter-intuitive. If you eliminate stress foods, the immune system recovers from the overload and is better able to deal with the invader germs. Less joint inflammation is the result

Remember my lifetime saying (one of dozens!!), that you don’t need zero burden to get zero symptoms; you just have to reduce the overload to the point where the body can cope. Step back within the threshold limits and the body recovers

Anyway, a new controversy has erupted from this topic. Dr. Hanne B. Albert and colleagues of the Spine Centre of Southern Denmark have found that a significant number of back pain sufferers will benefit from a course of antibiotics.

Of course, Dr. Albert’s colleagues are stupefied and attack her relentlessly because her finding “cannot be true”. Nobody these days seems interested in what actually works; just what fits in with current dogma. The dogma is more important than clinical results, per se

Not that dogma has much to offer back pain sufferers. Recommended orthodox treatments include painkillers, hot or cold compresses, physical therapy, keeping active and (rarely) lifestyle changes.

In extreme cases, when other treatments have failed, surgery may be recommended and the patient is told this is the only option left. In my working life, I have never met a single patient who benefitted from back surgery—but I have met a good many who have been permanently ruined by these procedures!

Danish Study Rocks

In the first study of 61 patients who had spinal surgery for lower back pain, the researchers found bacteria in 46% of the slipped discs.

The work of Albert et al. validates and builds on previous work by Alistair Stirling and colleagues (and others), who found Propionibacterium acnes, a normal skin organism that causes acne, in degenerated lumbar intervertebral discs.

The research team recruited 162 patients who had been living with low back pain for more than 6 months following a slipped disc. Half of the patients were given a 100-day course of antibiotic treatment, while the others received a placebo.

The back-pain sufferers were randomized into two groups: a placebo group, and a group given antibiotics daily for 100 days. Result: Patients who took the antibiotics improved on all outcome measures, in statistically highly significant fashion, not only at the end of 100 days but one year later.

The findings are published in the European Spine Journal.

Resistance To A Cure

As I said, the run-of-the-mill under performing doctors are incensed by this suggestion. Media reports that antibiotics could be a cure for back pain have alarmed John O’Dowd, a consultant spinal surgeon and president of the British Society for Back Pain Research.

“Unless you’ve had a disc herniation…I don’t think you should be getting too excited, and I don’t think this is going to be a treatment for you,” O’Dowd says. “I think this is another useful building block of evidence, but I don’t think it’s either a cure or the answer to back pain.”

Well, the spinal surgery that he does is certainly a disaster. But it pays the mortgage, even if it doesn’t help patients.

Where Do The Bacteria Come from?

The answer may surprise you. These come from anaerobic mouth and skin commensal organisms during normal bacteremias (bacteria in the blood).

Oh yes, didn’t I mention? Bacteria are swimming around in our blood all the time! Subclinical episodes of bacteremia are not uncommon; in fact they are normal. The typical entry point for bacteria arriving in the blood is the periodontal space (and/or the gums themselves, in the case of gingivitis). You don’t have to have periodontal disease or gingivitis to experience bacteremia, however. Any dental procedure, even vigorous brushing of the teeth, poses the risk of a bacteremic event.

Bacteremia is also possible when boils (pimples, carbuncles) are traumatized, whether deliberately (through incision) or accidentally (e.g., by shaving).

Obviously, any open skin wound is also an invitation to bacteremia.

Bacteremia is also a common complication in urinary tract infections.

These “normal bacteremias” are short-lived.

But even a “normal” bacteremia can lead to trouble, because once bacteria enter the blood, they look for areas of inflammation in which to congregate and take up residence. So for example: catheters, implants, sore joints, slipped discs, and inflamed coronary arteries are all potential sites for bacterial occupancy. (Take note: the connection between periodontal disease and heart disease is well established. After adjusting for age, sex, diabetes status, serum total cholesterol, smoking, and hypertension, death rate for coronary heart disease goes up by a factor of two for people with gingivitis or missing teeth.)

What it means is that if your gums bleed when you brush (or if you have a problem with boils or acne), you could (arguably) be at risk for a variety of ailments, from heart disease to arthritis to chronic lower back pain.

Where Is All This Leading?

I want you to grasp what I have been teaching my readers for years:

• We are up against a continuous pool of bacteria; they flood our bodies
• Once out of control, they are potentially very deadly
• They cannot be stopped by antibiotics (because of increasing resistance)
• You need to learn about alternatives to dangerous antibiotics.

That’s the crux of this information; you need to learn about antibiotic alternatives and you need to learn NOW. The Golden Age of Antibiotics is over. Antibiotics are starting to fail.

In any case, it would be wise to know what you can do instead of drugs. That’s obvious.

But what intrigues me is the possibility of cleansing your “normal bacteremias”, gum disease and back pains by using holistic ALTERNATIVES to antibiotics.

You know what? There are countless workable substitutes, mostly safe and certainly safe to use if you follow instructions.

Some natural plant substances actually out-perform modern high-power antibiotics. But do you know what these plant and food substances are?

You should!

To learn about this and some day save a life in your family, get my powerhouse reader describing lots of safe, natural, holistic alternatives to bugaboo antibiotics.

In my usual way, I have loaded the text with scientific references; this is not some old housewives’ tale of what works and what doesn’t.

To be armed with such knowledge, you are ready to face the future safely, instead of ending up a “statistic” from random septicemia.

Go here to read about this massive compilation of antibiotics alternatives I have called “How To Survive In A World Without Antibiotics”.

Don’t just read the manual; USE it to stock your medicine cupboard!

The same holds true for medicine. Over the last fifty years, many miraculous discoveries have been made by science and untold numbers of lives have been saved. We now consume tons of medications and supplements every day. As a whole, we’re still dying younger.

What if there was a way to combine the principles of eating healthy and the therapeutic effects of many medicines all without swallowing a single pill?

Medicinal Mushrooms and Your Health

There is such a way thanks to the benefits of medicinal mushrooms. Now these aren’t the toadstools growing in the damp part of your garden or the “magic” mushrooms your uncle took back in college.

You might have these natural, tasty medicines in your refrigerator right now!

1. Cordyceps Mushrooms:

Cordyceps are a wild Chinese mushroom that has been used for thousands of years by herbalists. Naturally growing on the larvae of caterpillars and other insects, recent scientific testing discovered that cordyceps mushrooms contain antioxidants that both inhibit the division of cancerous cells and prevent the formation of new cells.

The first record of cordyceps mushrooms is in a two-thousand-year-old Chinese medical text; however, they’ve been in the news recently. In 1993, two Chinese women shattered five world-running records while taking cordyceps. The US sponsored Team Postal also consumed them en route to their record seven Tour de France victories.

2. Tiger Milk Mushrooms:

Legends say that a mushroom sprouts wherever the milk of a tigress falls to the ground. Despite the fanciful origins of this fungi’s name, the tiger milk mushroom’s benefits are firmly rooted in reality.

A native species of Malaysia, they are fat-free, low calorie, and contain many essential vitamins and nutrients. In addition, tiger milk mushrooms have been found to have high levels of betaglucan, a compound shown to boost the body’s immune system and aid in the prevention of cancer cells.

3. Maitake Mushrooms:

“Maitake” is a Japanese word for “dancing mushroom.” At one time, their value was so great that they were worth their weight in silver. Maitake mushrooms may not dance for you but they have many wonderful health benefits.

They are filled with immune-boosting polysaccharides and polysaccharides protein complexes used by your body to fight off invading diseases such as cancer. They also help regulate blood sugar and blood lipid levels, reducing insulin resistance in Type 2 diabetics. Maitake mushrooms have proven beneficial in lowering blood pressure.

4. Lingzhi Mushrooms:

Also known as the “Red Reishi Mushroom,” lingzhi mushrooms were once called “the medicine of kings” and “the mushroom of immortality.” Used as a natural remedy for centuries, western science has recently rediscovered this ancient phenomenon.

During a controlled study, patients with high blood pressure who consumed an extract of lingzhi mushrooms experienced a significant drop compared to individuals not taking the extract.

Rheumatoid arthritis sufferers can experience relief thanks to a polysaccharides peptide in lingzhi mushrooms that will help protect their joints.

When combined with green tea, lingzhi mushrooms have been proven to slow the growth of sarcoma, a cancer of certain types of tissues.

5. Shiitake Mushrooms:

Most people are familiar with shiitake mushrooms. However, aside from being delicious, there are many benefits of this popular medicinal mushroom.

Shiitake mushrooms contain lentinan, a compound proven to strengthen your immune system and help your body fight off diseases from the common flu to HIV.

Lentinan is also an antioxidant and can defend your body against cancer as well as prevent existing cancer cells from spreading.

The high iron content of shiitake mushrooms combats anemia due to pregnancy or menstruation, improves the circulation of oxygen throughout your body, prevents fatigue, and boosts your energy levels.

Low in calories but full of flavor, shitake mushrooms are loaded with dietary fiber, which slows your body’s digestion helping you feel full for a longer period after you’ve eaten.

Medicinal Value and Delicious!

You’ve probably been eating mushrooms for years, whether in a salad or on the occasional slice of pizza. With your new knowledge of the health benefits of medicinal mushrooms, perhaps you’ll make them a regular part of your diet.

Just avoid the magic ones belonging to your uncle.

You probably left with an antibiotic to take care of your troubles.

We’re a little wiser these days. Now we know that all bacteria aren’t bad. Many of those in your body are actually necessary for your survival. If you’re a health-savvy individual, you may have a few containers of pro-biotic yogurt in your refrigerator at all times for better digestion – made possibly by “good” gut flora.

Victims of the Cure

Some viruses are being manipulated by science to battle diseases such as HIV. Scientific cases of the attacker being used to fight itself. Not all the news is good news.

Unfortunately, many of the antibiotics prescribed for decades are no longer effective because the bacteria they were used to combat are now immune. We’re becoming victims of the cure.

Penicillin was discovered in 1928. At the time, it was a miracle cure. Before the discovery of the first antibiotic, anything from syphilis to splinters could and often did lead to death. Once an infection entered the body, it spread rapidly.

With the dawn of antibiotics, science believed it had finally conquered infection. The general opinion was that humans could not survive without antibiotics. That prediction held true for 33 years.

The Evolution of the Superbug

In 1961, the first case of what would become known as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) was diagnosed in the United Kingdom. MRSA, as its name suggests, is a staph infection that’s immune to methicillin, a potent antibiotic.

The dangerous truth is that MRSA isn’t the only “superbug” out there. Looking to ESKAPE? Don’t go to your nearest hospital. ESKAPE is an acronym for Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, and Enterobacter.

These are the most common organisms found in the standard hospital environment.

Hospital-acquired infections kill at least 48,000 people every year. That is three times more than the number of people who die annually from HIV. With the passage of time and the overuse of prescribed antibiotics, many organisms have developed an immunity to treatment.

The same is true with old diseases such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. One night’s indiscretion once meant an embarrassing visit to the doctor and an injection. Now, once again, it can mean a death sentence.

Even tuberculosis is reappearing on the medical horizon. Resistant strains are popping up in various areas of the world. Once curable, nearly 1.5 million people die from this ancient disease every year. More than 500,000 of those infected suffer from a strain that is resistant to treatment.

Doctors are being more selective about antibiotics these days. No longer does every frantic parent who brings in a child with a runny nose leave with an antibiotic prescription. Regrettably, it may be too little too late.

There is another source of antibiotic resistance. It has only recently become a topic of serious discussion. You may be surprised to learn that much of the fault lies on your dinner table.

Antibiotics and Our Food Supply

Were you planning to enjoy a steak tonight? Perhaps some ham or chicken instead? If the meat you purchased was not organic then you may be unknowingly ingesting mass quantities of antibiotics.

Today, more than 80% of antibiotics distributed in the United States are not given to humans. Instead, they are being force-fed to healthy animals. The logic is that antibiotics promote growth and creates healthier food.

One small side effect is that it is increasing the cases of drug-resistant E Coli and salmonella.

Science Will Save Us!

We can look to the medical and scientific communities for answers. Right? They’ve done it before and they can do it again.

You may not like the answer to that question.

When Jonas Salk cured Polio in 1955, he made the compassionate choice to give it away for the benefit of humanity as a whole. His selfless decision has improved the lives of millions.

Only five major pharmaceutical companies are currently researching new antibiotics. As of 2008, only 15 of the 167 drugs under development have the potential to treat organisms with multi-drug resistance. None of them has been released to the marketplace.

Why isn’t more effort being devoted to something that is a major catastrophe waiting to happen?

Sadly, the answer is money. For example, it is far more lucrative for the pharmaceutical giants to focus their resources on a new diabetic drug that a patient has to take once a day for the rest of their life. An antibiotic that is a one-dose cure all isn’t going to put profits in their pockets.

We have options. Can you survive without antibiotics? Yes, you can. There are dietary choices you can make such as buying foods labeled organic or antibiotic free whenever possible.

Click here to discover how you can survive and even thrive without antibiotics.

But that’s not a problem with penicillin, it’s with doctors. The fact remains penicillin is a towering drug remedy with a miracle history that is awesome to contemplate.

But this is bigger… and you don’t need to have an infection to benefit from it. Everyone gets a result!

The truth is, I can’t yet tell you all the details, but I have been shown a confidential document that will turn medicine on its head when it’s published. In fact I warned one the developers of this cure to take real care; Big Pharma will surely want him dead and has the power and motivation to hire an assassin. It’s happened before…

So when I tell you it’s at the starting gate, act fast. Get your supply NOW.

Let me tell you how powerful this is:

A lady with pancreatic cancer (the worst), a 3 inch tumor, was told it’s over; she would die. But she tried this remedy and within weeks, the tumor was down to half the size. WITHIN 6 MONTHS IT WAS GONE.

Another woman with inoperable breast cancer took this remedy and her tumor too just vanished. The oncologists at The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center were flabbergasted as they called her in to tell her the cancer was totally gone.

So What Is It?

There are two key ingredients in this revolutionary discovery; each has effects that seem to focus on both the innate and adaptive immune system, including antigen presentation, cytokine production, and immunoglobulin secretion.

Each has already been proven to work. But it’s when you put them together, you get one of those explosive synergistic things… each one multiplies the other, over and over. It’s like 1 + 1 = 2 transformed into 1 + 1 = 88 or 137, or whatever!

I’m looking at the confidential document as I write; I see that one of the ingredients is a fungus derivative, the other is a probiotic (haven’t I been telling you for years about the power of shutting down the fire in your belly?)

Probiotics are BIG; and this one is even bigger than lcr35, the famous probiotic from Aurillac in France (Lactobacillus rhamnosus 35).

The fungus is a mushroom derivative, already known to science: AHCC. Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC) is an alpha-glucan rich nutritional supplement produced from the mycelia of shiitake (Lentinula edodes) of the basidiomycete family of mushrooms.1

AHCC was originally designed to lower high-blood pressure. However, researchers at Tokyo University found that AHCC increased natural killer (NK) cell activity in cancer patients, and also enhanced the effects of killer T-cells, and cytokines (interferon, IL-12, TNF-alpha).

When AHCC and BB12 are paired together, that’s when this amazing combination emerges. Nobody has seen the like of it before. That’s what this confidential document is about.

Soon it will be made public and the whole world will want this combo.

Anti-Cancer Effect

There have been reports of tumor reduction and even cures of cancer using Reishi mushrooms and Chinese herbs. It has been observed that these traditional remedies may work by up-regulation of the immune system.2

A study published in the Journal of Hepatology compared the outcomes of 113 post-operative liver cancer patients taking AHCC with 156 patients in the control group. The results showed the rate of recurrence of malignant tumors was significantly lower (34% versus 66%). That’s down by half!

Patient survival was significantly higher in the AHCC group (80% vs. 52%). That’s up by 153%!

It’s almost impossible for the naysayers to argue, because actual survival figures were recorded and the patients had all been carefully observed internally at the time of surgery with photographs of tumors and lesions.3

Of course the don’t-want-it-to-work faction still try to trash the findings.

In Japan, AHCC is the 2nd most popular complementary and alternative medicine used by cancer patients. Agaricus blazei supplements are the most popular (but it’s quite liver toxic).

AHCC is widely used in Japan and China. It is used to protect the immune system of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation in over 700 clinics and hospitals in Japan alone. Even the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center website admits, “In cisplatin-treated mice, AHCC increased its anti-tumor effects while reducing side effects.”

AHCC is available to the general public in Japan, Asia, the USA and the EU without a prescription and many people use it for general health maintenance and treatment of acute infections. Its legal status is that of a “functional food.”

The Anti-Aging Potential

I’m also excited about the anti-aging potential of this remedy. It’s been a saying of mine for decades that you live just about as long as your immune system lets you; and not a day longer.

The proof of that remark? Look at what happens to AIDS cases. The shrivel, age and die, once full blown AIDS sets in, and it’s very rapid indeed; often just weeks.

We sure need our immune system.

It also has antioxidant anti-aging effects. According to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering, one animal study suggested that AHCC has antioxidant effects and may protect against disorders induced by oxidative stress.4

Also In healthy adults aged 50 years or more, AHCC enhanced certain T cell immune responses. In patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cirrhosis, AHCC has shown beneficial effects on liver function possibly by regulating nitric oxide (NO) production.

All of this is great for anti-aging benefits!₅

A Remarkable Probiotic: BB12 (Bifidobacterium lactis 12)

BB12 (Bifidobacterium lactis 12) is a remarkable strain of probiotic. Bif makes sense, rather than lactobacillus, because about 90% of our natural flora is Bif.

Certain cancers (eg. Colon cancer) can be favored by the introduction of BB12. ₆

In one study, consumption of BB12 for 3 weeks resulted in doubling of the number of circulating phagocytes showing phagocytic activity.7

Where Do I Get It?

For the time being, Cosway’s in England have this product. It’s known as Enhanced AHCC®. To get past regulations and appear as a functional food, they call it mushrooms plus yoghurt. Having read this far, you know better than that!

Each sachet of Enhanced AHCC® contains 600mg high-potency AHCC® from shiitake mushrooms (equivalent to 1,000mg regular strength AHCC®) with BB-12®, a powerful, clinically-proven friendly bacteria from Chr. Hansen, Denmark.

P.S. It could be dangerous to pick one intriguing cure and omit the absolutely vital life-saving steps that everyone must do, in order to survive cancer. But the most deadly thing that is wrong with orthodox medicine is not what it DOES but what it does not do.

Conventional colleagues never seem interested in getting to the bottom of WHY a person gets cancer and fixing that (they don’t really know why, for one thing).

There are three major secrets that you must know, to beat cancer and remain in good health. Click here now to discover these cancer research secrets backed by scientific research.
