OutsideTheBox Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 I've always found the early 1920's work of Royal Raymond Rife fascinating. Back then Rife claimed to have found the cancer causing virus, and he proved through his extensive lab work that this virus was pleomorphic and also responsible for a wide variety of other illnesses including Tuberculosis, etc. He was further able to destroy this virus, and other microorganisms responsible for disease by way of radio frequency delivered via frequency generation equipment and phanotron plasma tube. He called the frequency at which a given pathogen oscillated its Mortal Oscillatory Rate (MOR). After having his work vetted by the biggest medical minds of the day, and subsequently collaborating with several of them on extensive testing of 'terminal' patients who had run out of allopathic treatment options, he was essentially destroyed in court by the forming medical powers (AMA) to prevent the technology from instead destroying the profits of the industry. The story really is fascinating. He was able to demonstrate both in vitro and in vivo the efficacy of frequency treatment after locating, by experimention, the proper resonant frequency for the respective pathogens he worked with. One particular book entitled 'The Cancer Cure That Worked: 50 Years of Suppression' gives detailed history. There's also much information on the net. One history is here: History of Royal R. Rife This is the most detailed reverse engineering that I've seen done on the actual equipment Rife used:http://www.rife.de/files/rifeinstrumenthistory.pdf Evidence continues to surface in modern times, almost a century later, that what Rife did was real and demonstrable.

CraigD Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Essiac compoundEssiac is very popular among my friends – of the dozen or so who have had cancerous tumors in the past couple decades with whom I’ve discussed it, (including my wife - kidney cancer, serendipitously detected via ultrasound and successfully cured via a nephrectomy in 1997), to the best of my recollection over half of them used Essiac as a compliment to conventional surgery and chemotherapy. Despite its popularity, its efficacy as a treatment of cancer is, if it has any at all, very minor. No animal or human study has shown any benefit in those using it vs. those not (many sources, including Questionable Cancer Therapies). At about US$1 / recommended dose (per ESSIAC Original formula 10.5oz Liquid Extract | Essiac Brand), it’s neither unusually cheap nor expensive, though some people use many times the recommended dose. It has, to the best of my knowledge, nearly no toxicity, so no reasonable potential for overdose. I know a couple of herbalists (including, for a few years, my wife) who made their own and gifted it to friends with cancer. Like many plant products, Essiac is a moderately good antioxidant, so regular use of it likely reduced the risk of getting cancer, though likely not as much as larger quantities of ordinary fruits and vegetables. As the previous link indicates, like ordinary dietary antioxidants, it appears to have no ability to shrink or cure an existing cancerous tumor. Despite it’s apparent lack of therapeutic efficacy, I personally approve of Essiac, or any other non-harmful complimentary alternative cancer medicine. For many people, I believe, simply being able to take some action to treat their cancer reduces feelings of helplessness, and is psychologically beneficial. If such psychological benefits result in greater relaxation, motivation, and attention to conventional treatment, it can improve ones medical outcome. Quote

How could it be ?He explained that most people come into contact with the TB bacteria the majority shrug it off with maybe a few minor cold symptoms. those with psychological issues (depression, alcoholism) got the disease. I don't know about the psychosomatic part of TB. Yikes... I do believe, though, that different people do clearly have different susceptibilities to the same pathogenic organisms. If you take a look at Rife's work, what he did in proving the pleomorphism of the causative virus was extremely interesting. By changing the medium provided for the organism to grow in a variety of manner he was able to take the original virus to cancer, to TB, to other various forms of disease, and then again back to the original virus. All of it depended upon the nature of the growth medium provided for incubation/living condition. Much of the modern study data focused on cell wall resistance is interesting. It does seem to follow that lowered resistance (in both the context of immunological resistance and that of literal cell wall resistance of otherwise healthy human cells) facilitates a significantly higher likelihood of pathogenic infection. Separately, the work of Dr. Bob Beck and his blood electrification protocol appears to demonstratively increase cell wall resistance and thus both prevent infection of healthy cells and to clear previously infected cells via some manifestion of sodium/calcium exchange through the cell wall. There are a bunch of studies available at pubmed (and elsewhere) showing this effect in the context of blood electrification. Not the least of which is one study made by Kaali, Lyman, et al. on the electrification of blood in vitro stopping the HIV virus in its tracks. Strangely (or not, if you believe in the medical-industrial complex proactively censoring competition to allopathic medicine), the article is referenced at Pubmed, but no more information seems publicly available... Medical researchers patented AIDS cure in 1990 First thing I'd do if myself or someone close to me had cancer would be to implement the Beck protocol (and primarily blood electrification, though there are other parts) and get some rife equipment...

OutsideTheBox Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 one of the resaons people are starting to get worried about fine particle pollution is it's ability to move though the lungs into cells.. . . Agreed. Adhesion is key in most all pathogenic circumstances where actual cell invasion is not. Thus, it makes sense that the cell wall is a good focal point for evaluating most all pathogenic processes... I think intervening with someone with cancer is fraught. They often feel overwhelmed with the news and all the info out there on cures. Some just go into denial, others fight, some become paralysed with fear, others become clinically depressed. Often they tend to just do what ONE person ,they feel they can trust, tells them to do, to prevent information overload. (See the amount of information in this thread- that has only been going for a couple of months for example.) I don't disagree. All people can do as individuals, though, is provide advice/suggestion when asked. Allopathic medicine (and in particular chemotherapy) is pretty scary, though, since it directly links the profit motive of the medical-pharmaceutical community with cancer treatment. This wouldn't be so bad if there weren't a variety of other prospective cancer treatments that have been either buried or ignored by the mainstream medical community over the years. The work of Rife and Beck are the two I'm most familiar with, and the overt disregard (and even undermining) of both by the existing medical-industrial powers smacks of conflict and disingenuousness... Strangely today's news has info. about a new vaccine for breast cancer.New breast cancer vaccination drug | Health news | Marie Clairewe have also had a vaccine for cervical cancer since last year.

You would think that if cancer was/is "catchable" like the flu you would have clusters of it among the medical profession (doctors nurses etc)-people who had close contact with cancer patients- not ABC broadcasters?! Back to your cell wall theory and my TB one? Yup, again agreed, lowered cell resistance as correlated with lowered skin resistance to electrical stimulation seems to also be directly correlated in modern mainstream medical literature with normal human cell resistance to pathogenic infection... I urge you to have a look at Rife's work related to pleomorphism. In and of itself, and separate from the rest of his work, it is quite intriguing. I'm not a big fan of vaccinations. I don't trust those in charge, in general. What I've read on the new HPV virus just smacks of more profit driven hypocrisy.

Michaelangelica Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Posted March 11, 2008 Some time ago I mentioned the off-beat theory that the body wrapped toxins in fat and stored them away.Strange but true?? Here is a report that may support this theory. (NaturalNews) Many conventional media sources, known collectively as "Mainstream Media," or MSM, repeat the conventional wisdom of obesity's causes: sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition. These factors are irrefutable contributors to the worldwide, growing obesity epidemic. Yet lifestyle and nutrition factors do not tell the whole story. There are much more nuanced and insidiously dangerous implications in the massive increase in obesity: connections to rising cancer rates, and correlations to stored body toxicity. This article illustrates the growing evidence linking this "unholy triad" of obesity, cancer, and toxicity. The rise in worldwide obesity rates parallel the increase in environmental toxicity. Meanwhile, cancer rates continue to rise; the WHO believes that cancer rates may increase by more than 50% by 2020. Meanwhile, more studies show that cancerous tumors are storehouses of high concentrations of toxic man-made chemicalsThe Link Between Obesity, Cancer, and Toxicity (Part 1) Quote

In the May 24 New England Journal of Medicine, investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital report that regular aspirin intake only reduced the incidence of colorectal tumors that overexpress COX-2For the current study, the researchers focused on almost 83,000 NHS participants and about 47,000 HPFS participants for whom necessary information was available. . .Fuchs adds, "An individual who has had colorectal cancer in the past is at higher risk for subsequent tumors, and that might be someone who should discuss the advisability of taking aspirin with his or her primary care physicianAspirin's Colorectal Cancer Prevention Mechanism Revealed Conclusions Regular use of aspirin appears to reduce the risk of colorectal cancers that overexpress COX-2 but not the risk of colorectal cancers with weak or absent expression of COX-2.NEJM -- Aspirin and the Risk of Colorectal Cancer in Relation to the Expression of COX-2 Quote

Michaelangelica Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Posted March 16, 2008 Hemp seed oil Hemp seed oil contains linoleic acid (LA) and -linolenic acid(LNA) as its major omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFA), respectively. These fatty acids comprise the most desirablecontents of the oil, especially due to the ratios in which they exist. The3:1 ratio of LA to LNA is alleged to be optimal for nutrition (Deferneand Pate, 1996; Callaway, Tennila & Pate, 1996; Erasmus, 1999). The additional presence of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) in hemp seed oil ultimately makes its nutritional value superior to most comparable seed oils. The myriad of benefits reported to be attributable to omega-3 PUFA include anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-thromboticproperties. In addition, dietary omega-3 PUFA help to increase generalmetabolic rates and promote the burning of fat (Erasmus, 1999; Simopoulos,1994).. . .Omega-3 PUFA have been reported to have an inhibitory effect oncancer and tumor growth. Increased consumption of omega-3 PUFAhave not been shown to exhibit any negative side effects, but theirbeneficial qualities have been repeatedly confirmed.. . .Perhaps the most interesting activity of -tocopherol which has notyet been widely studied, is its ability to act as an anticancer agent,specifically with respect to colon cancer. Because -tocopherol issecreted via the bile into the intestine and fecal material, it can inhibitlipid peroxidation and reduce the formation of mutagenic peroxidationproducts in the bowel (Stone & Papas, 1997). Ultimately, by beingexcreted into the colon, as opposed to being active in the plasma,-tocopherol is able to minimize DNA damage caused by reactivenitrogen oxide species (Stone & Papas, 1997).Within hemp seed oil, -tocopherol is present in significantly higherquantities than -tocopherol;http://raskin8500-226.rutgers.edu/~alexanderpoulev/HempOil.pdf Quote
Monomer Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Some time ago I mentioned the off-beat theory that the body wrapped toxins in fat and stored them away.Strange but true?? I've read that the body stores toxins in fat, and a woman who breast feeds reduces her risk of cancer because the toxins are excreted in the milk. Good news for Mum, bad news for baby. Storage of [environmental toxins] in fat 'may be considered a kind of protective mechanism, keeping the chemical away from critical targets such as the nervous system'... ...the higher concentrations [of chemicals] found in human milk 'reflect to a great extent the levels in adipose tissue (body fat), a reservoir which is built up during many years and mobilized during lactation'. Indeed, [Dr Allan Jensen] argues, breast feeding is the main vehicle for excreting these substances in lactating mothers. Quote from: Cadbury, D. (1997). The Feminization of Nature: Our Future at Risk. p. 171-172. Quote
