Mammograms – Physical AND Emotional Damage – make your decision wisely

In my book, The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally, Chapter One explains how the major financial sponsor of the NBCAM – National Breast Cancer Awareness Month -aka “the pink ribbon campaign” is the chemical company AstraZeneca. The NBCAM heavily petitions governments to promote frequent Mammograms.

So here are just two of too many reports that indicate why better education about our “preventive health” choices is needed. You may want to read these before you make that decision.

The British Journal of Radiobiology published  a paper in 2006, that states:

“…..radiobiological studies have provided compelling evidence that the low energy X-rays as used in mammography are approximately four times – but possibly as much as six times – more effective in causing mutational damage than higher energy X-rays. Since current radiation risk estimates are based on the effects of high energy gamma radiation, this implies that the risks of radiation-induced breast cancers for mammography X-rays are underestimated by the same factor.

A new study published July, 2013  in the Annals of Family Medicine titled, Long-term psychosocial consequences of false-positive screening mammography, brings to the forefront a major under-reported harm of breast screening programs: the very real and lasting trauma associated with a false-positive diagnosis of breast cancer.

The study found that women with false-positive diagnoses of breast cancer, even three years after being declared free of cancer, “consistently reported greater negative psychosocial consequences compared with women who had normal findings in all 12 psychosocial outcomes.”

The above book also explains the damaging effects of pressure, inflammation and consequent cell damage as being a cause of cancer.

Cancer Screening and Prevention, Mammograms, PSA

Cancer Screening at What Cost?

A recent article in the Globe and Mail regarding the risks and benefits of Cancer Screening. “ The advantages to screening have been exaggerated.” states Dr Brawley.

Mammograms

In Canada an expert panel said that women over 40 do not need routine mammography screening . The reason being that the value of mammography has been decisively unproven. Many experts say that it is of no value period. In one Danish study women between 55 and 74 who had regular mammograms had a 1% annual decrease in breast cancer mortality. But women who were unscreened had a 2% annual decrease in breast cancer mortality. In other words you were less likely to die from breast cancer if you did not participate in the annual mammogram screening. Dr. Gotzche concluded if “screening were a drug it would have been withdrawn . You don’t market a drug that harms so many people for such uncertain benefits. “

Furthermore the article continues to state that the screening picks up harmless cancers that never would have been a problem . Instead of saving lives screening creates an avalanche of over diagnosing and needless treatments. For example out of 2100 women, 690 would have detected a false positive result , 75 would have to undergo unnecessary biopsies and needless surgeries.

PSA

Now let’s address prostate PSA tests. These same experts state that men should not have PSA tests at all. The test does not save lives and it does inflict devastating harm on men whose cancer would have otherwise been benign . Between 1986 and 2005 1 million men were treated for prostate cancer because of the PSA test. At least 5000 men died  due to the harm from the surgeries. 70. 000 men suffered needless serious complications and 300,000 suffered impotence and incontinence. The expert group states that the PSA test is harmful and expensive, with the annual cost in the USA being $3 billion. So why is the PSA test still administered?  The drug companies continue peddling the tests for financial gain. Richard Ablin the founder of PSA is devastated, “ I never dreamed that my discovery four years ago would lead to such as profit driven public health disaster. “

Biopsies, Cat Scans (CT’s)

Positive tests, whether accurate or not, usually lead to more injurious tests: biopsies, CT scans (radiation promotes cancer growth) and CT scans involve high doses,  equivalent to hundreds of Xrays. Add to this the negative emotional havoc  caused by fear and anticipation of these procedures. IF, on the other hand, one is very anxious about their health, the tests may help allay fears. Just be sure you want them, and are not just doing what  the doctor says. Take part in your decision making.

Because cancer always starts from an injury it makes no sense to inflict your breasts, prostate, or any other organs to an injurious type of test. It simply aggravates the problem. It makes no sense to submit to unproven prostate tests that serve no purpose except to expose you to surgical procedures that cause harm and inflict injury. In cancer there is cell replication and the law of nature states that cells do not randomly replicate. There must be a reason for cell replication to take place and that reason is that there is an injury. This is explained in more detail in my book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally”.

So here is the wisdom of this all. It is imperative that we should provide our cells on a daily basis with all the essential building blocks  so that any inconsequential injuries may be repaired well before they get to the mutated point. What do we do ? We feed our bodies not with daily junk food but with high dense nutritious super foods .  Herbs are nature’s answer to do this. One way to nourish our cells is to give them a Smoothie every day loaded with:

Mineral Chi Tonic for the minerals lacking in today’s foods

Ultimate GreenZone which is a concentrated source of alkalinizing vitamins and minerals which are easily assimilated as they are from food sources, including spirulina, amaranth, barley grass, bee pollen, chlorella, and 30 other herbs and super foods.

Collagen bioavailable collagen peptides & amino acids from 100% grass-fed, pasture raised cows. Helps maintain health, strength and youthfulness of all tissue structures, including skin and joints.

Flax Hull Lignans which bind the harmful xenoestrogens produced by Candida and which feed cancer.

Colostrum known to bind harmful lectins, which can plug up the blood stream . Lectins are found in all grains. Collagen promotes healthy growth of tissue, bone & catiledge.

Super Omegas from tested fish sources.

In Lorene’s book, The Paw Paw Program, there is an entire chapter about herbs and supplements that have been sued for millennium for abnormal cell growth and healing. Pau D’Arco/Taheebo Tea, Essiac (E-Tea), Ashwaganda, Astragalus, Periwinke, Yew, Mistletoe, the list is extensive, and the history shows evidence that these work – for different people, in different countries, for different cancers and other conditions.

Other herbs and supplement in capsule, liquid and powder form are available to meet specific needs, but the above can be helpful for everyone.

By addressing any negative situation with these 4 phrases, we can free our minds from past memories and restore the purity of our hearts and clean up repetitive issues that keep surfacing from our subconscious mind.

“If we can accept that we are the sum total of all past thoughts, emotions and words, deeds and actions and that our present lives and choices are colored or shaded by this memory bank of the past, then we begin to see how a process of correcting or setting aright can change our lives, our families and our society.” Mormah Nalamaku Simeona

The 4 phrases are: I am Sorry, Please Forgive Me, I Love You, Thank You.

Medical Scene

Runaway Use of Radiation Harming Patients

Dr. Eric Topol, author of The Creative Destruction of Medicine, has this to say about Americans being “overcooked” with damaging radiation.

  • one CT angiogram of the heart is 16 mSv, that is equivalent to 800 chest x-rays
  • A typical nuclear scan, at 41 mSv, and performed annually on many cardiology patients is equivalent to 2000 chest x-rays.

But patients aren’t told this, nor are any safety measures in place to record accumulated exposures. Safer diagnostics such as ultrasounds and MRIs are under-used. The following 3 minute video gives more information.

Q & A: Thyroid Cancer and Paw Paw Program

Questions:

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and am having surgery in September, 2012.
I will be getting my whole thyroid removed. The doctor told me I will be on synthroid for the rest of my life. I would like to know what I have to take for herbal meds to make me feel normal and healthy again. I am 49 year old weight is 159 lbs.  I believe I am a healthy person as my medical report came back as very good. Except for the cancer. I will be going for radiation as well in about 6 weeks time. Please help me get my mental health, physical health and spiritial health back on track. I have read the book (Paw Paw, the Christopher Columbus Approach to Cancer) which I found very interesting and informative. Thank You!!! So my questions are:
1) what and when can I take the Paw Paw program after my surgery. What should I take for my cancer after surgery and before and after the dreaded radiation? I don’t want this cancer to flare up elsewhere in my body.
2) Do I take anything with and when I have radiation?
3) Are any of the herbal meds going to affect my thyroid medication?
4) Where I live fresh or organic fruits and vegetables are very hard to get. Our closest city is 3 hours away.
5) I was taking curcumin 95% 2 x 2 a day. and also taking 1 tbsp of Vital greens 1 x day. I stopped taking them 7 days before my surgery. The doctors told me to go off all medication prior to surgery.
Please help me with this health issue that took over my body, mind, and spirit:
Thank You very much and can’t wait to hear from you!
( GW from CA)

Answers:

1) Post-surgery: You can start taking the Paw Paw as soon as you are eating after surgery. Follow the recommendations in the book to continue to destroy any cancer cells AND to prevent cancer flare up elsewhere. Certainly post surgery, taking high levels of anti-oxidant immune boosting herbs, such as Zambroza, called Thai Go in the U.S., speed recovery. Also be sure to get your bowels moving within 12-24 hours. If needed, herbal supplements such as LB are very safe and effective, much more so than chemical formulations like Senekot, generally used in hospitals. Both the above are liquid, and can be started as soon as one is able to consume any liquids.

2)  Please determine your need for radiation  by asking the ” Questions to Ask Your Doctor” in my book. Other than the fact that this is probably ‘accepted medical protocol’, how can they determine you will definitely need radiation until they have completed the surgery? Perhaps the surgery will be completely effective, and they are only do this as a prophylactic (preventative) measure, which is very questionable.  Please ask the questions first, as this will determine your long term health outcome. If you do decide to have radiation, then yes, I would continue the Paw Paw program. In addition, there are some natural aids to lessen the side effects of radiation. We could set up a phone consultation to discuss this before you make your decisions.

3) No, none of the herbs in the basic Paw Paw Program will affect your thyroid medication, synthroid.

4) One has to do the best that one can with what is available. Again, we can cover some of this in a phone consult, as I may have some suggestions, such as sprouting to obtain organic greens, no matter where you live, sources to get you set up to accomplish this easily.

5) Pre-surgery: Most doctors do ask people to stop all supplements before surgery, as a few such as higher dosage Vit. C , Gingko Biloba, Red Clover, may thin the blood and there is a concern of excess bleeding. As herbs and supplements are not their area of expertise, they feel safer and save time doing research by requesting stopping of ALL.  Some say 24 hours ahead, some say 3 days, yours is being very cautious with 7 days.

Get a good night’s sleep pre-surgery and visualize a positive outcome! Imagine yourself coming out of surgery with a great report that all was successful.

We look forward to answering any more specific questions on an individual basis. Contact our office at 250-748-6802 to arrange a time.

Thyroid and Radiation Protection

Thyroid and Radiation Protection

 

Just after the Fukishima nuclear disaster, I had at least 40 emails about radiation protection and many queries. Research to separate the wheat from the chaff takes time. Here is my take, compiling recent information combined with thyroid information I have on files from more than 20 years. Hope it simplifies the information for you.

As links tend to change over the years, please Contact us,  for personalized, expert assistance in obtaining any of herbs mentioned in this article. We have worked with one major quality professional herbal source since 1990 and can help you get the best for your health and your money. Are you worth the best?

The thyroid is an iodine hungry gland. It will absorb any type of halide with similar molecular structure to iodine including: iodine both natural and radioactive, chlorine, fluorine, bromine, perchlorate.

If your thyroid receptor sites are saturated with healthy organic iodine you will not absorb radioactive or other unhealthy sources. If you are the least bit deficient in iodine, the body readily accepts radioactive Iodine 131.

North Americans are generally deficient in all trace minerals including iodine, which has shown itself in many diverse symptoms besides hypothyroid challenges. Deficiency being the norm, whether there is a threat from fallout or not, I believe it cannot hurt to give your thyroid a little natural boost. Many people will feel better for it. Do not overdose and pay attention to your body. Check how to monitor thyroid with basal body temperature.

How to Saturate/Nourish Your Thyroid:

 

The 3 most common ways to get iodine are:

  • increasing seaweed intake via diet and/or supplementation
  • adding black walnut, or
  • taking potassium iodine

Choose whatever method you are most comfortable or you can do a combination. There is no right or wrong, again pay attention to how you feel and monitor your temperature.

Seaweed, especially Kelp will help absorb both radioactive plutonium as well as radioactive uranium, plus has added advantage of helping to eliminate all heavy metals from your body. Some sources say that Lugol’s does not stop the plutonium absorption. Other seaweed sources are nori, dulse, kombi, all of which can be added into the diet.

Seaweed, plentiful in Iodine 127, protects the body from absorbing Iodine 131. Seaweed was studied and used extensively after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. It has been recorded that 20 years after the Chernobyl disaster, the Polish people treated with Iodine 127 have almost 1000 times less thyroid disease than neighbouring countries further from the disaster site. After WW II nuclear bombs, people living in regions of Japan where miso soup with seaweed was part of daily diet, suffered less radiation damage. Other foods that help protect the body from radiation damage are the brassicas, nettles, Pau D’Arco, all dark orange and green foods.

Dosage: 6 – 10 Kelp capsules per day. Nature’s Sunshine capsules are 525 mg per capsule and according to Dr. Ryan Drum, a world renowned seaweed and thyroid expert, an average sized adult needs about 5 grams per day for optimum health.  Be sure to use kelp that is tested to ensure it contains NO heavy metals. Nature’s Sunshine products DO test, more than 85% of providers do not.

Black Walnut is a natural organic iodine source that also helps kill parasites, yeast and fungus which most people harbour. This will be covered in Duncan Dinner Class (what a topic for dinner?!) Tues. April 19th. Black Walnut is available in capsules and liquid extracts. Contact our office for high quality sources.

Dosage: see Organic IODINE THYROID LOADING THERAPY with Black Walnut and herbal formulas article at end.

 

Lugol’s Iodine (named from Jean Lugol). One of the cheapest and oldest forms of iodine, declined in use when expensive synthetic thyroid supplementation took over. This is apparently what the Japan govt. is giving to its people, and what BC Health Minister has advised no one to use, and pharmacies not to sell ?!?

– 5% iodine + 10% potassium iodide in 85% distilled water

– 2 drops of Lugol’s solution (0.1ml) contains 5 mg of iodine and 7.5 mg of  iodide = 12.5 mg of iodine

Be aware Iodine can cause adverse effects for individuals who are very sensitive, although there are usually no allergies to natural iodine. If you have high levels of Candida, you may experience die off and feel temporary weakness and possibly headache or nausea. If this happens, cut back temporarily on the amount and drink plenty of water and diluted teas or juices.

Dosage: for thyroid conditions 100 – 150 mg. max per day for adult of 150 lbs. 16 drops = 100 mg ; 24 drops = 150 mg.

Take less for smaller weight, children and seniors, or if you do not experience any symptoms of low thyroid.

Divide drops in 3-4 daily dosages in water, or with apple cider vinegar, 20 mins. before food.

Start with low dose and gradually increase per day over a 3 week period.

Lugol’s is oxidative, so avoid taking anti-oxidant supplements (Vitamin A, C, E, selenium, glutathione, etc.) for the duration of your “higher-than-normal” usage of Lugol’s. You should also follow high usage of iodine products with Bifidophilus Flora Force to replenish vital intestinal flora.

Some History of Lugol’s :

The following information in italics was taken from an old Lugol’s label. The new labels do not contain internal dosage, and since synthetic thyroid drugs entered the market, with huge profits, Lugol’s use has been discouraged.

Note these dosages were for viral and bacterial infection, not thyroid, which might explain lower dosages.

Dosage: One drop if body weight is 150 lbs. (68 kg.) or less; two drops for body weight of more than 150 lbs.
Directions: Take the suggested “Dosage” above two times per week – temporally equidistant (i.e. such as Wednesday and Saturday). In times of bacterial or viral infection, take Dosage three times per week (i.e Monday, Wednesday, Friday). Take Lugol’s on an empty stomach about 20 minutes before eating in an 8 oz. (236 ml.) glass of distilled or purified water with one teaspoonful of apple cider vinegar added for slight acidification.

Some benefits of increased iodine / symptoms of low thyroid are:

hypothyroid and autoimmune thyroid symptoms improve

cancer therapies are more effective, especially hormonal cancers

other autoimmune disorders improve

fibrocystic breast syndrome improves

Candida, stuffy nose, headache, vaginitis, severe depression

adrenal exhaustion, cold hands and feet, extreme fatigue, low libido

Note: weight gain or loss is NOT a good indicator of low thyroid

Monitor basal temperature:

The best way to monitor under active thyroid is the Barnes’ method. A regular Basal thermometer is preferred.  Shake it down and put it on the bedside table at night.  First thing in the morning, before getting out of bed, place the thermometer under your armpit.  Leave it there at least  5 minutes for accurate reading.  Record your temperature, for 3 weeks in a row, so the body goes through all of its cycles during this time. If 3 consecutive weeks is not possible, then do 5 days at a time, during different times of the month. Temperature average should be 97.8 – 98.2 F degrees or above.

If regular thermometer is difficult to find, you can use the digital kind.

Other health tips: Increase foods rich in iodine: ocean food, radishes, asparagus, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, rhubarb, potatoes, peas, strawberries, mushrooms, lettuce, bananas, cabbage, egg yolk, and onions; taking preparations known to be rich in iodine, including, kelp tablets, black walnut KC-X or TS II –  herbal thyroid support combinations, cod liver oil.

Re Radiation risk: Do not rely on government reports. As with the Gulf oil disaster, the truth was hidden. Check www.radiationnetwork.com to monitor radiation levels. Take precautions recommended IF radiation does increase: staying inside, as Iodine 131 we breathe or get on our skin is likely to be absorbed if we are Iodine deficient. Have safe water and food supplies that will not be contaminated.  If you are not supporting thyroid for any conditions listed above, I would still suggest starting iodine supplements within one to two days of any expected fallout.

 

Organic IODINE THYROID LOADING THERAPY

with Black Walnut and herbal formulas

This is a 3 week program adapted from article by Dr. K. Balas, ND

It has helped many people with hypothyroid “kick start” their thyroid so it starts producing adequate hormones and to avoid a life long dependence on synthetic medications.

Start: – For 3 days

1 tsp. (5 ml)  Black Walnut extract in AM & 1 tsp. in PM

Noon: 5 caps TS II, KC-X, Kelp or Black Walnut Hulls

 

After 3 days increase to:

2 tsp.(10 ml) Black Walnut in AM & 2 tsp. in PM

Noon:  10 – 15 capsules of KC-X or others as mentioned above.

Do this for a total of two weeks.  Gradually taper down to maintenance at the end. This would mean 8 bottles of 2 oz (59 ml) black walnut tincture – it may seem like a lot, but if it avoids you becoming a life long drug addict, or dealing with possible side effects of synthetic thyroid, it is worth it.

Should one need to go the prescription route, try to find a specialist who will work with desiccated thyroid versus synthroid.

For maintenance, take 2 -4 capsules a day of  KC-X or TS II.  Eat sea vegetables, naturally dried  unprocessed sea salt, deep-sea fish  and other suggestions above in your diet.

Basic Program for all Hormone Imbalances

  • Super Oil or Super Omega 3
  • Master G – herbal and vitamin glandular support
  • Adrenal Support
  • Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic
  • Bifidophilus or Probiotic 11– probiotic/prebiotic blends
  • Garden Essence– plant enzymes

Best to do the Thyroid Loading first for 3 weeks, then focus on the overall hormonal balance with the Basic Program. Contact our office for full fact sheets on any of these products.

Check with a qualified herbal nutritionist if you have questions. With kidney or other weakness, half dosage may be suggested. Contact us to help choose program for you and get your member order placed. No charge 10 mins.
