[AlternativeAnswers] Massage and Music: The Marriage of Touch and Harmony

 

Good Morning!

Massage and Music: The Marriage of Touch and Harmony

We already know that the power of touch can register on so many levels of our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. Touch therapies are the connection between matter and etheric levels of our energy. The greatest expression of acknowledgement can be as simple as the laying of hands on another to comfort, to love and to heal.

Adding music and its therapeutic aspects, can bring together the power of heighten awareness, moving the healing process to another level.

As a massage and music therapist, I have had the pleasure of having both in my life for over 20 years. In a massage session, it is a part of the ritual to have soothing music playing during a session. But how many of us have any awareness of the music as it applies to your massage work?

Working with the power of music can add another level of transformation for the patient. They may not even realize what the connection was, once they get off the table, but are acutely attuned to how much stronger, aware and better they feel.

Knowing some basic music terminology is not really necessary as a massage therapist, but I know on some level, you can be astutely conscious of when the music crescendos (gradually rising in volume) or decrescendos (gradually lower in volume). You can here the tempo or pacing of the music and understand how to work within this tempo.

Bringing the music into your hands and allowing it flow out through your instrument can translate through the patients body into the most moving and therapeutic journey they can experience.

Know your music. Be aware of its tempo, its highs and lows and how it is build by phrase and chorus. Knowing your music allows you greater interpretation of its flow as you give your massage.

Tips for the Marriage of Massage with Music:

1. Flow and rhythm are the two most important aspects of a massage.

2. These are two of the most important elements in music, as well.

3. Relaxation has an average tempo of 30-60 beats per minute. This is a musical composition in adagio tempo. When choosing music for your sessions, this is a good thing to look for.

4. Working with the music gives a sense of being in sync with the body. For example, as the music crescendos or rises, your hands can follow, moving up the body or moving up the scale (a selection of related notes placed in ascending order by pitch).

5. As the music decrescendos or descends, your hands can follow by moving down the body or moving down the scale (a selection of related notes placed in descending order by pitch).

6. If you have music playing and the next song changes in tempo, speeding up, you can move your hands not with the tempo but by decreasing your movement by moving in half time (half the tempo of the beats in one measure or phrase).

7. Sometimes, when your music is moving on to the next song, there is silence between the musical tracks. This silence can be awkward unless, you continue your hand movements as though they are expressing the same music. It is as if your body takes over for the rhythm of the silence and can be very moving to the therapist as well.

8. Starting on a new muscle group immediately after the above silence between songs can be very affective if you start on the down beat of the music. (The first beat; given by the conductor with a downward stroke or the "and" of a new phrase).

9. In some portions of the music you may be playing, there are accents or a Marcato (an emphasized note; or heavily accented phrase). Utilize this with your massage technique. This works well on the extremities such as hands or feet.

10. An Arpeggio (describing notes in a chord played individually (one after another) as opposed to simultaneously) coordinates beautifully when working on the spine or hamstrings.

11. In Italian, Camminando (following easily and gently) or in Spanish (meaning to walk) can be a free and easy technique when transitioning from one muscle group to the next.

12. And Harmony (the sounding of two or more tones simultaneously; or the vertical aspect of music) is our ultimate goal in any touch therapy.

So, next time you are giving a session to your patient, don't just put on some music and expect it to do the work for you. Engage along with the music to enhance the power of your touch and to bring your patient to yet another level of their healing journey, and yours!

[AlternativeAnswers] Master the Three Gunas

 

The Three Gunas: The Metaphysical Grounding of Physical Reality

By Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya

The empirical reality that we perceive around us is composed of matter. Whether we are referring to the buildings we reside in, the many possessions we strive for, or the very bodies with which we so intimately identify, all objects are composed of the prakriti, or the prime material energy, of God. Of the many qualities that are discernible in prakriti (matter), the essential feature encountered is that of transience. Matter is in a constant state of flux, a continual cycle of becoming, being and dissolution. Thus everything that we perceive around us, though seemingly stable, ultimately is destined to cease existing.

Prakriti, herself, is not a purely undifferentiated field of substance. Prakriti consists of a substratum of three different modes, each one dependent upon the other two for their mutual existence and proper functioning. These three modes of prakriti, or material energy, are also known as the three gunas, which in Sanskrit (the ancient, sacred language of Sanatana Dharma) means "qualities" or "modes."

In the two verses from the Gita that are quoted above, Shri Krishna (the incarnation of God) gives Arjuna a glimpse into the nature and power of the three gunas of which prakriti, or prime matter, is composed. This triad of material modes consists of 1) sattva (positivity, purity, goodness, wholesomeness), 2) rajas (passion, energy, movement) and 3) tamas (negativity, lethargy, darkness, ignorance). These three aspects of material energy exist as the very core of all empirical material phenomena. They can be seen as being three different modes in the spectrum of the one primary material substance. They represent the unitary material substance in three different, yet completely interdependent, frequencies or states.

Every aspect of material phenomena that we perceive around us - including our own body - is composed of a combination of these three gunas, with one or the other of these three gunas predominating. Thus everything in the material world, including us, is effected by the interplay of the gunas. We will now briefly examine the primary characteristics of each of the three gunas.

We will begin this exploration of the gunas by examining the guna which the Bhagavad Gita considers to be the highest quality: sattva. Sattva can be translated as "goodness." This guna denotes such qualities as purity, brightness and essence. It is also light - both in the luster of its radiance and in terms of its actual weight in terms of physics. Thus, individuals who are of a spiritual, clean (both physically and mentally) and peaceful nature are said to be living a sattvic existence; they are residing in goodness. Sattva is the quality most sought by all spiritual practitioners. Every sincere yogi, without exception, strives to be sattvic in all of their thoughts, their words, and their actions.

The next guna is rajas. Rajas denotes activity and movement. It is the mediator between the other two gunas, as well as their empowerer. For without the kinetic assistance of rajas, neither sattva nor tamas can act. It is rajas which motivates the individual to labor and which inspires work. Those persons in whom rajas predominates tend to be of a fiery and passionate disposition. While a certain degree of rajas is always necessary in order to facilitate any sort of activity, too much of this quality makes one restless, thus hampering the focused concentration that is necessary for meditation and other forms of disciplined spiritual pursuits.

When the material energy (prakriti), through the medium of rajas, becomes turned to its lowest frequency, it is then known as tamas. Tamas has the characteristics of dullness, ignorance and inertia. It is a dark mode, both intrinsically and in the consequences it brings about. Due to its heavy, weighted nature, it provides stability, and its solidity forms the very foundation of matter. Tamas is the source of obstacles, resistance and obstructions. Tamas brings about cessation. Those who are of a tamasic nature tend toward lethargy, procrastination and self-destructive behavior. It is the end point of the descent and devolution of prakriti. It is, thus, the very antithesis of sattva. Those wishing to make any sort of meaningful spiritual progress must thoroughly avoid tamasic tendencies.

These three interdependent strands of the material substance are different aspects of the same energy, which in turn is under the full control of the Supreme Godhead, Bhagavan Sri Krishna. Sattva is the finest frequency that prakriti adopts. Rajas is the intermediate catalytic energy source. Tamas is the resting place, the dullest mode of material energy. The qualitative hierarchy of the three gunas can be visually represented in this way:

THE THREE GUNAS

Sattva = goodness
Rajas = energy to act
Tamas = lethargy

The practitioner of Yoga seeks to ultimately transcend these three gunas completely, and thus be liberated from illusion (maya) by a systematic process of gradual progressive ascent. This spiritual ascent occurs in several stages.

The first stage is to determine which of the three gunas presently predominates one's life, thought and actions. If it is determined that either rajas or tamas is the strongest influence in one's life, then the next step is to rid oneself of these negative influences. This is done by leading as sattvic a life as possible. There are several lifestyle choices that are recommended in order to make one's life more sattvic. This sattvic program includes the following:

The Sattvic Program

1) Practicing the philosophy and disciplines of Yoga on a daily basis. This includes following the ethical virtues taught in the path of Yoga spirituality (such as non-violence, not stealing, not lying, etc.), as well as the asanas, or psycho-physical exercises of Yoga.

2) Having a purely vegetarian, healthy and organic diet. A purely sattvic diet is lacto-vegetarian, that is, avoidance of all meat, fish and eggs (dairy products such as milk, yogurt and cheese are acceptable). Such a diet will increase one's health, stamina, intelligence and bring about peace of mind.

3) Ridding one's mind of all negative, violent and disturbing thoughts and images. This is done, for example, by avoiding violent entertainment, ridding oneself of feelings of vengeance and hatred, and filling one's mind with thoughts of God instead. The music we hear also effects our consciousness. We want to avoid music that is charged with explicitly sexual (tamasic) or violent (rajasic) lyrics, such as "rap" and "hip-hop", and instead listen to bhajans, kirtan, and uplifting music of different forms.

4) Meditating daily. In order to have a sattvic existence, we need to purify and still the mind. This is best achieved by having a daily practice of meditation and prayer. The most powerful form of meditation is a practice that focuses on the names of God. Aum Namo Narayanaya is the most powerful and purifying of all mantras. Meditate on these names of God daily.

5) Associating with others who are also leading a sattvic lifestyle. We are all consciously and unconsciously influenced by the nature of the company we keep. If we associate with tamasic or rajasic people, we in turn become tamasic or rajasic. But if we associate with those who are sattvic by nature, then we cannot help but be positively influenced by them. Always avoid the company of bad people, and always seek the company of the good.

By strictly and enthusiastically following this Sattvic Program, we can gradually transform our consciousness from one of self-destructiveness into one of positive spiritual attainment.

As Sri Krishna explains in the Bhagavad Gita, or "Song of God," the position in which we presently find ourselves as human beings is a state of self-imposed separation from the loving will of God. Rather than recognizing our true ontological nature as beings who exist in an eternal, loving relationship with the Absolute, we have instead become subject to the illusion of separation from God. As long as we are under this false assumption of separation from God, we will be under the binding influence of these respective gunas.

Upon consciously and freely surrendering our lives to Sri Krishna, however, we then reclaim the ability to transcend the gunas altogether, and to achieve a state of radical freedom from all material influences, sufferings and illusions. This state of spiritual liberation is known as moksha, Freedom, a state in which we have full knowledge of our true selves, complete personal fulfillment and bliss beyond compare.

About the Author

Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya (Dr. Frank Morales, Ph.D.) is universally acclaimed as one of the world's most respected and qualified Dharma teachers and Hindu spiritual leaders alive today. He personifies what it means to be a true and authentic guru.

Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti

Re: [AlternativeAnswers] Alzheimers

 

Hi Margi,

I am a caregiver for a man with Alzheimer's and have learned a lot from this experience. To answer your question, the man I take care of does not become violent, but I have heard that some do that weren't like that before. Also, while we are on the subject, I treat him with all natural supplements and I feel that has helped him a lot, especially chelation which produced results that his own doctor could hardly believe! Yes, he is declining, but slower than others who are given traditional medicine.

Has anyone out there found any particular supplement to be exceptionally helpful to someone with Alzheimer's. Always looking for more answers.

Thanks,

Cheryl

I hope that I never get Alzheimers but I would like opinions from you

all on that subject.

My ex-husband's wife is in a horrible mental hospital as she is said to

be too violent to stay at home.

I have the idea that people with Alzheimers are not violent unless provoked.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thank you,

Margi

[AlternativeAnswers] Cancer Revisited:The Industry Suppressed Budwig Regimen....How to cure cancer

 

I read an interesting article about cancer.

Cancer Revisited: The Industry Suppressed Budwig Regimen With Cottage Cheese.... How To Cure Cancer


Written by Sarah Cain
Saturday, 03 October 2009 16:10

Cancer is probably the topic which generates the most interest amongst our readership. We wrote extensively about the fraudulent cancer industry in issue 1 of Naturally Good Magazine, in the article titled, The Link Between Body pH and Disease. It is highly recommended as something to read before beginning your own research. We ended the article with reference pointers to information which people may use to conduct their own research about how to help themselves. We know, as should you, that if people are not willing to proactively help themselves, then all of our writing is in vain. If people blindly obey their doctors, as if their doctors were high priests (modern doctors are very close to being exactly that), then there is nothing that we can really do to help. Therefore, we do not even try to be a complete and definitive source of information. In other words, we're here to teach you how to fish; not provide you with fish. Until recently, we figured that what we had written in the magazine was enough. We believed that it was quite comprehensive, and that we did not need to touch the topic again for a very long time. Judging from reader input, perhaps we were wrong. Perhaps it was not enough. We apologize.

"I have the answer to cancer, but American doctors won't listen. They come here and observe my methods and are impressed. Then they want to make a special deal so they can take it home and make a lot of money. I won't do it, so I'm blackballed in every country."

&#8213; Dr. Johanna Budwig

Saint Johanna

Meet Dr. Johanna Budwig. She left us in 2003, at the ripe age of 95, but she looked like she was in her 70's. She was nominated six times for the Nobel Prize for medicine, which means that it would be wise to take her health work seriously. We call her a saint, but doctors-in-the-know thought of her as a god. Did we mention that she cured cancer &#8213; not treated &#8213; but cured it in "terminally ill" patients; even patients which the establishment had surrendered to fate, claimed were "untreatable", and gave a death sentence to? We're not talking about specific or rare types of cancer either. She cured whatever type of cancer that was thrown at her, and she did it relatively quickly, cheaply, easily, and permanently; using non-toxic ingredients, which were without any side-effects whatsoever. Her medicine actually made her patients stronger, and her cure rate was over 90%, including the worst "terminal" cases. You read that right; we did indeed say that her permanent cure rate was over 90%. Did we mention no side-effects? Dr. Bugwig's successes greatly contrast the facts that the life-long cure rate from standard chemotherapy is less than 4% for most types of cancer, and that chemotherapy is known to cause future cancers. We have not mentioned the most incredible aspect that is still being suppressed by the lucrative cancer industry: Dr. Budwig's secret weapons against cancer were common cottage cheese and flax seed oil. She quickly became enemy #1 to the pharmaceutical and nuclear industries. They did not like the prospect of people having the choice between their debilitating and bankrupting treatments, or simply opening their refrigerator for a cure. They have been so effective at suppressing her Noble Prize worthy work, that for many of our readers, this will be their first instance of learning of the good doctor, or her famous Budwig Diet. Her bombshell findings were first published in the early 1950's. Anyone want to make a bet as to when major networks like Fox News and ABC News are going to cover this story? We're betting never. They're team players.

Everything You've Been Told About Cancer is a Lie

First and foremost, cancer is not merely an outbreak of tumors. We know the establishment treats them as the same, but it would be a waste of time and space to go there. We have more important things to discuss in this article than cataloging their (often intentional) stupidity and incompetence. For now, we'll simply state that perpetual treatments (creating life-long customers) is the overall goal, instead of curing. You see, a dead patient is not profitable, nor is a healthy patient. The money is made somewhere in the middle &#8213; patients who are alive &#8213; barely. Cancer is essentially a modern man-made disease. There is evidence of it existing in ancient history, but cancer was extremely rare in ancient history, except in cities with cases of mass poisoning (again a man-made disease). Now, cancer is expected to strike one person out of every three, and this rate is rising rapidly.

The Unholy Cancer Trinity

Toxins, radiation, and acidosis are the unholy trinity of cancer. The combined damage from toxins, radiation, malnutrition (often caused by pharmaceuticals), and illness leads to acidosis, which is the final stage of this misunderstood condition. When a person's body chemistry becomes acidic from the aforementioned factors, then his blood's ability to retain and carry oxygen is severely diminished. Healthy individuals have a blood oxygen level of between 98 and 100 as measured by a pulse oximeter, but cancer patients routinely show around 60. Oxygen is replaced in a cancer patient's blood with wastes such as carbon dioxide. The oxygen starvation caused by acidosis leads to the formation of tumors as cells must mutate to derive their energy from a fermentation process. Normal cells obtain energy from oxygen, but oxygen-starved cells must mutate to using a type of direct sugar fermentation, which is really the body's self defense. Of course, this is not as "clean" as oxygen-based energy, and the waste products of fermentation build in the tissues causing even higher toxicity. Eventually the entire immune system is debilitated by the process of cleaning these wastes, so that it can no longer cope with the removal of unhealthy cells. This allows the cancer cells to multiply and spread unchecked to create the symptom of tumors, which is in the latter stages of this process.

All the above was proved by Dr. Otto Warburg, and he won the Nobel Prize for it in 1931. Funny you've never heard about it, huh? Are you still walking for the cure? Don't worry, we felt horribly suckered when we learned too. Meanwhile, the industry is still murdering people for profit, while "searching for the cure".

The secret to beating cancer is that life-giving breath of God &#8213; oxygen. Technically, it is not that simple, but it is almost that simple. The real trick is getting the oxygen into the deep tissue cells, and getting them to "eat" it again. Dr. Budwig's regimen is just one of many for stimulating that.

Most cancer cures (not treatments) involve adjusting the body's pH beyond neutral, and into an alkaline state. In the alkaline state, human blood is rich in oxygen, and this same oxygen is poisonous to all mutated cancer (fermenting) cells. Oxygen is, of course, harmless to healthy cells &#8213; and we're not going into that whole free radical thing here &#8213; except to say that oxygen is never an issue with a healthy (anti-cancer) diet. Whilst naturally mocked by the industry, the generalized anti-cancer alkalizing diets are effective, and certainly merit further reading.

Dr. Budwig found a way to do it better and faster. She turbo-charged her anti-cancer diet with a solution made from common flax seed oil and cottage cheese. She discovered that even the so-called "healthy" (fat free) diets were a huge part of the problem. (We'll cover the cholesterol scam later.) Her regimen eliminated the damaging fats and foods from the diet that cause cellular oxygen starvation, and replaced them with healing foods, and life-saving essential fatty acids. Along with diet, she emphasized the benefits of sunlight, the natural source of the anti-cancer vitamin D3, and stress reduction. The power of sunlight (Vitamin D3) cannot be overstated.

"Without these fatty acids, the respiratory enzymes cannot function and the person suffocates, even when he is given oxygen-rich air. A deficiency in these highly unsaturated fatty-acids impairs many vital functions. First of all, it decreases the person's supply of available oxygen. We cannot survive without air and food; nor can we survive without these fatty acids. That has been proven long ago."

&#8213; Dr. Johanna Budwig

The Budwig Anti-Cancer Regimen (a.k.a. "The Budwig Diet")

There are 2 stages of the Budwig Diet. One of them is a natural medicine, which is a blend of something containing high amounts of sulfur proteins, and flax seed oil to provide omega-3. Fish oil (for omega-3) is avoided because of the risks of contamination, and because a body will synthesize exactly the correct amount of omega-3 from flax seed oil to give the cells the right proportion of omega-3 to omega-6. This medicine is normally taken orally, but in the most severe cases, Dr. Budwig was also known to have given it in enema form too. The other stage of the Budwig Diet is the diet itself. Dramatic results are usually seen within 90 days. Patients should continue the regimen for 6 months, regardless of a lack of symptoms.

The Medicine (thoroughly mixed together, and taken orally once a day at bare minimum):

1 cup pure cottage cheese (or unsweetened and unflavored yogurt). Organic versions are strongly preferred. This ingredient provides the sulfur proteins. Yogurt is actually preferred, because it will simultaneously suppress candida yeast, strengthen the immune system, and help with the absorption of nutrients.
2-5 Tbsp. of flax seed oil, or about 10 supplement capsules, or 1-3 Tbsp. of freshly ground flaxseed (a coffee grinder works fine and use enough water to make it soft)
little cayenne
optional:

little garlic
little red pepper
little champagne (for the worst cases &#8213; always given in the first couple of days)
The Diet:

SUGAR IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN. Grape juice may be added to sweeten any other freshly squeezed juices.
No animal fats
No commercial salad dressings or toppings
No commercial mayonnaise (bastardized, radioactive, genetically engineered, corn and soy oils)
No meats unless organic (chemicals & hormones)
No butter
No margarine
Freshly squeezed vegetable juices are fine, especially carrot, celery, apple, and red beet. Truly all natural juice drinks are okay, with special preference to completely organic drinks.
Three times daily a warm tea is essential. Good choices are peppermint, rose hips or grape tea. Sweeten them only with honey. One cup of black tea before noon is fine. The Health Wyze Report Staff particularly recommends green tea with honey and lemon juice.
Avoid all sugars (including high-fructose corn syrup)
Chemical free diet
Avoid all processed foods
Attempt to wean off all pharmaceuticals
Avoid all soft drinks, and diet drinks are even more dangerous
Avoid tap water, and use products free of fluoride (We suggest natural spring water)
Eat all food fresh &#8213; no reheating and no leftovers
Additional Staff Suggestions:

The flax seed oil must be protected from heat and light
The flax seed oil must be cold pressed, and should be organic
No microwaving food
Avoid hydrogenated oils
Take chlorophyll supplements
Drink the green drink regularly, to ensure proper nutrition
Specifically eat an alkalizing diet
Use a nebulizer to inhale 3% hydrogen peroxide mist for people with lung conditions
Take a massive dose of Vitamin C daily &#8213; purchased only from a reputable health food store
Avoid sun screens, cosmetics, and typical toxic lotions found at regular retailers
Avoid white bread, white rice, white flour, and anything else bleached
Avoid "table" salt and get high quality unbleached sea salt from a health food store
Avoid detoxifying when the person is severely ill or unstable
Get a high grade water filter for shower water
Drink alkalized or spring water
Find safer alternatives to common soaps, bleaches, and detergents (health food stores)
Fight candida
Avoid all vaccines
Use Vitamin B17 (for really horrible cases)
Avoid your doctor. Seriously.
Avoid soy products and canola oil
Use iodine transdermally (but beware of providone iodine)
Take a teaspoon of cold pressed organic coconut oil daily
For deathly ill patients, see a specialist, such as a naturopathic doctor (N.D.), who can provide I.V.'s, including hydrogen peroxide I.V.'s if necessary.
Use our oxygen drink several times a day
The oxygen drink (several times a day):

8 oz. spring water
2 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1-2 tsp. of 3% hydrogen peroxide (wait until all fizzing has stopped before adding, and be very gentle)

We thank the people behind http://www.aspartame.ca for condensing and making much of the information used in this report easily accessible. We included a couple of small sections of their work in this document verbatim.

"I have the answer to cancer, but American doctors won't listen. They come here and observe my methods and are impressed. Then they want to make a special deal so they can take it home and make a lot of money. I won't do it, so I'm blackballed in every country."

&#8213; Dr. Johanna Budwig

Saint Johanna

Meet Dr. Johanna Budwig. She left us in 2003, at the ripe age of 95, but she looked like she was in her 70's. She was nominated six times for the Nobel Prize for medicine, which means that it would be wise to take her health work seriously. We call her a saint, but doctors-in-the-know thought of her as a god. Did we mention that she cured cancer &#8213; not treated &#8213; but cured it in "terminally ill" patients; even patients which the establishment had surrendered to fate, claimed were "untreatable", and gave a death sentence to? We're not talking about specific or rare types of cancer either. She cured whatever type of cancer that was thrown at her, and she did it relatively quickly, cheaply, easily, and permanently; using non-toxic ingredients, which were without any side-effects whatsoever. Her medicine actually made her patients stronger, and her cure rate was over 90%, including the worst "terminal" cases. You read that right; we did indeed say that her permanent cure rate was over 90%. Did we mention no side-effects? Dr. Bugwig's successes greatly contrast the facts that the life-long cure rate from standard chemotherapy is less than 4% for most types of cancer, and that chemotherapy is known to cause future cancers. We have not mentioned the most incredible aspect that is still being suppressed by the lucrative cancer industry: Dr. Budwig's secret weapons against cancer were common cottage cheese and flax seed oil. She quickly became enemy #1 to the pharmaceutical and nuclear industries. They did not like the prospect of people having the choice between their debilitating and bankrupting treatments, or simply opening their refrigerator for a cure. They have been so effective at suppressing her Noble Prize worthy work, that for many of our readers, this will be their first instance of learning of the good doctor, or her famous Budwig Diet. Her bombshell findings were first published in the early 1950's. Anyone want to make a bet as to when major networks like Fox News and ABC News are going to cover this story? We're betting never. They're team players.

Everything You've Been Told About Cancer is a Lie

First and foremost, cancer is not merely an outbreak of tumors. We know the establishment treats them as the same, but it would be a waste of time and space to go there. We have more important things to discuss in this article than cataloging their (often intentional) stupidity and incompetence. For now, we'll simply state that perpetual treatments (creating life-long customers) is the overall goal, instead of curing. You see, a dead patient is not profitable, nor is a healthy patient. The money is made somewhere in the middle &#8213; patients who are alive &#8213; barely. Cancer is essentially a modern man-made disease. There is evidence of it existing in ancient history, but cancer was extremely rare in ancient history, except in cities with cases of mass poisoning (again a man-made disease). Now, cancer is expected to strike one person out of every three, and this rate is rising rapidly.

The Unholy Cancer Trinity

Toxins, radiation, and acidosis are the unholy trinity of cancer. The combined damage from toxins, radiation, malnutrition (often caused by pharmaceuticals), and illness leads to acidosis, which is the final stage of this misunderstood condition. When a person's body chemistry becomes acidic from the aforementioned factors, then his blood's ability to retain and carry oxygen is severely diminished. Healthy individuals have a blood oxygen level of between 98 and 100 as measured by a pulse oximeter, but cancer patients routinely show around 60. Oxygen is replaced in a cancer patient's blood with wastes such as carbon dioxide. The oxygen starvation caused by acidosis leads to the formation of tumors as cells must mutate to derive their energy from a fermentation process. Normal cells obtain energy from oxygen, but oxygen-starved cells must mutate to using a type of direct sugar fermentation, which is really the body's self defense. Of course, this is not as "clean" as oxygen-based energy, and the waste products of fermentation build in the tissues causing even higher toxicity. Eventually the entire immune system is debilitated by the process of cleaning these wastes, so that it can no longer cope with the removal of unhealthy cells. This allows the cancer cells to multiply and spread unchecked to create the symptom of tumors, which is in the latter stages of this process.

All the above was proved by Dr. Otto Warburg, and he won the Nobel Prize for it in 1931. Funny you've never heard about it, huh? Are you still walking for the cure? Don't worry, we felt horribly suckered when we learned too. Meanwhile, the industry is still murdering people for profit, while "searching for the cure".

The secret to beating cancer is that life-giving breath of God &#8213; oxygen. Technically, it is not that simple, but it is almost that simple. The real trick is getting the oxygen into the deep tissue cells, and getting them to "eat" it again. Dr. Budwig's regimen is just one of many for stimulating that.

Most cancer cures (not treatments) involve adjusting the body's pH beyond neutral, and into an alkaline state. In the alkaline state, human blood is rich in oxygen, and this same oxygen is poisonous to all mutated cancer (fermenting) cells. Oxygen is, of course, harmless to healthy cells &#8213; and we're not going into that whole free radical thing here &#8213; except to say that oxygen is never an issue with a healthy (anti-cancer) diet. Whilst naturally mocked by the industry, the generalized anti-cancer alkalizing diets are effective, and certainly merit further reading.

Dr. Budwig found a way to do it better and faster. She turbo-charged her anti-cancer diet with a solution made from common flax seed oil and cottage cheese. She discovered that even the so-called "healthy" (fat free) diets were a huge part of the problem. (We'll cover the cholesterol scam later.) Her regimen eliminated the damaging fats and foods from the diet that cause cellular oxygen starvation, and replaced them with healing foods, and life-saving essential fatty acids. Along with diet, she emphasized the benefits of sunlight, the natural source of the anti-cancer vitamin D3, and stress reduction. The power of sunlight (Vitamin D3) cannot be overstated.

"Without these fatty acids, the respiratory enzymes cannot function and the person suffocates, even when he is given oxygen-rich air. A deficiency in these highly unsaturated fatty-acids impairs many vital functions. First of all, it decreases the person's supply of available oxygen. We cannot survive without air and food; nor can we survive without these fatty acids. That has been proven long ago."

&#8213; Dr. Johanna Budwig

The Budwig Anti-Cancer Regimen (a.k.a. "The Budwig Diet")

There are 2 stages of the Budwig Diet. One of them is a natural medicine, which is a blend of something containing high amounts of sulfur proteins, and flax seed oil to provide omega-3. Fish oil (for omega-3) is avoided because of the risks of contamination, and because a body will synthesize exactly the correct amount of omega-3 from flax seed oil to give the cells the right proportion of omega-3 to omega-6. This medicine is normally taken orally, but in the most severe cases, Dr. Budwig was also known to have given it in enema form too. The other stage of the Budwig Diet is the diet itself. Dramatic results are usually seen within 90 days. Patients should continue the regimen for 6 months, regardless of a lack of symptoms.

The Medicine (thoroughly mixed together, and taken orally once a day at bare minimum):

1 cup pure cottage cheese (or unsweetened and unflavored yogurt). Organic versions are strongly preferred. This ingredient provides the sulfur proteins. Yogurt is actually preferred, because it will simultaneously suppress candida yeast, strengthen the immune system, and help with the absorption of nutrients.
2-5 Tbsp. of flax seed oil, or about 10 supplement capsules, or 1-3 Tbsp. of freshly ground flaxseed (a coffee grinder works fine and use enough water to make it soft)
little cayenne
optional:

little garlic
little red pepper
little champagne (for the worst cases &#8213; always given in the first couple of days)
The Diet:

SUGAR IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN. Grape juice may be added to sweeten any other freshly squeezed juices.
No animal fats
No commercial salad dressings or toppings
No commercial mayonnaise (bastardized, radioactive, genetically engineered, corn and soy oils)
No meats unless organic (chemicals & hormones)
No butter
No margarine
Freshly squeezed vegetable juices are fine, especially carrot, celery, apple, and red beet. Truly all natural juice drinks are okay, with special preference to completely organic drinks.
Three times daily a warm tea is essential. Good choices are peppermint, rose hips or grape tea. Sweeten them only with honey. One cup of black tea before noon is fine. The Health Wyze Report Staff particularly recommends green tea with honey and lemon juice.
Avoid all sugars (including high-fructose corn syrup)
Chemical free diet
Avoid all processed foods
Attempt to wean off all pharmaceuticals
Avoid all soft drinks, and diet drinks are even more dangerous
Avoid tap water, and use products free of fluoride (We suggest natural spring water)
Eat all food fresh &#8213; no reheating and no leftovers
Additional Staff Suggestions:

The flax seed oil must be protected from heat and light
The flax seed oil must be cold pressed, and should be organic
No microwaving food
Avoid hydrogenated oils
Take chlorophyll supplements
Drink the green drink regularly, to ensure proper nutrition
Specifically eat an alkalizing diet
Use a nebulizer to inhale 3% hydrogen peroxide mist for people with lung conditions
Take a massive dose of Vitamin C daily &#8213; purchased only from a reputable health food store
Avoid sun screens, cosmetics, and typical toxic lotions found at regular retailers
Avoid white bread, white rice, white flour, and anything else bleached
Avoid "table" salt and get high quality unbleached sea salt from a health food store
Avoid detoxifying when the person is severely ill or unstable
Get a high grade water filter for shower water
Drink alkalized or spring water
Find safer alternatives to common soaps, bleaches, and detergents (health food stores)
Fight candida
Avoid all vaccines
Use Vitamin B17 (for really horrible cases)
Avoid your doctor. Seriously.
Avoid soy products and canola oil
Use iodine transdermally (but beware of providone iodine)
Take a teaspoon of cold pressed organic coconut oil daily
For deathly ill patients, see a specialist, such as a naturopathic doctor (N.D.), who can provide I.V.'s, including hydrogen peroxide I.V.'s if necessary.
Use our oxygen drink several times a day
The oxygen drink (several times a day):

8 oz. spring water
2 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1-2 tsp. of 3% hydrogen peroxide (wait until all fizzing has stopped before adding, and be very gentle)

[AlternativeAnswers] Stage IV Breast cancer that metastasized to the lungs.

 

Hello everyone,

My mother was recently diagnosed over Christmas with stage IV breast cancer that metastasized to the lungs. We were reluctantly rushed into going the Chemotherapy route. We have since completed 2 rounds of chemo with many complications. It's hard to see her withering away. We are contemplating abandoning the conventional route for an alternative. Does anyone have any suggestions, info(regimen)or any success stories for this type of cancer??? Please help.

Thank you,
Danica

[AlternativeAnswers] Re: Alzheimers

 


Dear Margi,

I am a new entrant in this group. I am Holistic Healing Master in India practicing since 15 years. My own aunt(67) is an Alzheimers patient on whom all sort of tests were done and medications administrated by all kinds of doctors and she was sent home in a vegetated condition. I started treating her, boldly cut short many of the tablets prescribed by medicos,- now she is able to recognize her grand daughter, sons, my uncle and so and so. She is having a constant regaining of her memories. But as you said she is not violent. Treating such a condition which has close connection with the slipping off of conscious memories from one's memory centers needs more spiritualistic approach is my experience.

Mukundh, Madurai, South India.
