September is:
This Month’s Issue Includes:
Thank You For Helping Me Make The First National Health and Wellness Conference a Great Success We had over 700 in attendance, and have had a tremendous positive feed back.
Dr. Albert Sanchez announced a very special opportunity that will last through the month of September. You buy 2 bottles of the Poly MVA and the third bottle is free. After listening to people right here in Oklahoma City talk about how their cancers have responded to the Poly MVA, this is an opportunity that you need to take advantage of. Dr. Sanchez taught us to use the word "reversal" when talking about what the Poly does to cancer. This is acceptable to the FDA. So we will not use the word cure or even remission, but I
like the word reversal! If you have cancer,
Poly MVA also protects us from the damages of stroke. The Poly protects the hippocampus portion of the brain. The small bottle of the Poly, the 2.5 ounce size is designed to put in your purse or car. Keep it handy in case you or someone close to you has a stroke. Should that happen, you have a 6-24 hour window of opportunity to take 4 teaspoons of the Poly for that protection.
Tim Kershensteine and Patty Kane promised to join us here in Oklahoma this fall. They will do the Cardio-Vision test for you at that time. This test is approved by the FDA to test the elasticity of your arteries. Take the test and if you don't like the results. use the Artery Cleanse and test again in a few months. This can save the flexibility of your circulatory system and "clean out your pipes".
Dr. Alex Loyd and Dr. Ben Johnson helped us take care of our stress. Every Thursday night they will be doing a conference call for all interested in the Healing Generator. The call begins at 8:00pm central standard time and lasts for 1 hour. The number is 865-362-4350 and the access code is 4150 #.
We heard from our own doctors Cathy Hopkins and Doug Cook. They told us about the therapies that they are involved in. We had entertainment from some of the most outstanding young people. We want to thank Billie Lewis for the work she putting that together.
We will have a spring conference 2005. This will be the first conference designed just for women. If you have topics you would like addressed or speakers that you feel would be good, please let us know.
Once again, thank you for making this a great conference!
September is National Cholesterol Education Month
It is important to have your cholesterol tested if you haven’t already done so. You can have your blood tested at our next “Test, Don’t Guess” day – October 2, 2004 at the Doorway to Health. Call 1-800-431-7902 to reserve a spot. It is important to know that cholesterol is the basic building block of all hormones. The “healthy range” for cholesterol really depends upon a person’s age. Likewise, studies have shown that death from ALL causes goes DOWN as cholesterol goes up for every decade of life after 70. So, it is important not to have too high cholesterol or too low cholesterol. The following is recommended for high cholesterol: Starr Walker Flax Fix, Red Rice Yeast and Garlic (either liquid or capsules).. Also, if your triglycerides are high with a raised LDL level you need to supplement with Starr Walker Alpha Lipoic Acid. For low cholesterol: a product called ADVA-CLEAR available at Full Circle Health Clinic. We encourage everyone to take this month and evaluate your cholesterol. It is imperative for everyone’s cholesterol to be within a healthy range for their age.
The Brain Garden Food Is a No Brainer!
The Brain Garden food has done an outstanding job of taking care of elevated glucose levels and elevated triglycerides! The research proved this; however, the blood lipid profiles were inconclusive. I think I can help us get a better handle on the blood lipids by incorporating a metabolic type test for everyone. By determining your metabolic type, you can make better choices during the meals and snacks, when you are not eating the Brain Garden foods. Dave Jack and I will put this together and make it available to you.
I had a great question posed this morning on the radio about the sugar in the Brain Garden foods and the possible role it could play in cancer. You will remember that I continually tell you that sugar feeds cancer. It does, but you need to understand how the sugar gets to the cancer site. First of all, one of the best books you could ever read about cancer is Cancer Doesn't Scare Me Anymore. In this book Dr. Loraine Day discusses cancer and what she did as a physician to beat her own breast cancer. Dr. Day began juicing carrots, and eating lots of WHOLE UNPROCESSED FOODS. You see when you are eating whole foods, you have several advantages that keep these natural sugars from being an enemy. First of all, whole foods have plenty of fiber that not only slows down the entry of sugar into your blood stream, but also keeps these sugars from spiking your insulin levels. This protects you from feeding the cancer and yet allows you to get the energy from the natural sugars found in whole complex foods. Secondly, we haven't even named all of the phyto-nutrients in whole foods. We know that God put them there for a reason, and some day we will better understand why. For now though I am glad that I can say without reservation, whole complex carbohydrates, those found in the Brain Garden foods actually help control glucose levels and triglycerides!
The Great Calcium and Magnesium Debate
There are a great many different opinions about what type, how much, and what the correct ratio between calcium and magnesium should be. At one time it was believed that a person needed twice as much calcium as magnesium. That is probably due to the fact that the people saying this were advocating that the perfect source of calcium was milk. Nothing could be further from the truth! It takes a great deal of milk to get the a small benefit from the calcium in the milk, and you loose more minerals from your body in the process of breaking down the milk to get at the calcium. Milk is also very mucus forming which further stresses your system.
Another misunderstanding about calcium has been the recommendation to use Tums as a viable source of this important mineral. Many physicians still recommend that a person use Tums to both quiet digestion and get their needed calcium. Once again, nothing could be further from the truth! Tums is simply calcium carbonate---in other words, blackboard chalk! Your body cannot utilize this form of calcium, and to make matters worse, the Tums negates the natural HCL in your stomach. The use of ant-acids can lead to serious digestion problems. Calcium citrate is no better, this is actually an acid leached over limestone. You would fare much better by feeding both of these forms of calcium to one of your houseplants, then eating the plant. Your body could actually utilize the calcium.
Magnesium is needed by your body to protect your heart, and it works synergistically with calcium to build your bones. Because of it's many role coupled with the amount of calcium in our food supply, we now know that you need a minimum of at least twice as much magnesium as calcium. Where do we get the magnesium and calcium? Well if we could get them from our fruits and vegetables it would be ideal. Your body can quickly and efficiently use minerals from plant sources, but here in lies the problem. If you were to take a box of dirt that had all the minerals that you need, and raise 16 crops off that dirt, there would be no minerals for the 17th crop. With current farming practices, it is practical to add potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus. Where is the calcium and magnesium? It simply isn't there. Remember a plant can make vitamins, but it cannot make minerals, they must be in the soil.
The Starr Walker minerals are liquid, and highly absorbable. Here is a little trick to make these minerals even more effective. Take them separately. Take your calcium at night, it will be a good sleep aid at that time, and follow with twice as much magnesium in the morning. Your body needs both, they work synergistically together, but to get the most out of them and not have "expensive urine" take them separately.
What Is Chelation Therapy?
Chelation therapy is a safe, effective relatively inexpensive treatment to restore blood flow in victims of arteriosclerosis without surgery. Chelation therapy involves the intravenous infusion of a prescription medicine called ethylene tetra-acetic acid (EDTA).
WHAT IS IT USED FOR? Chelation therapy is used to reverse symptoms of hardening of the arteries, also known as arteriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis is caused by multiple complex factors, including abnormal accumulation of metallic elements. The end result is plaque within arteries which blocks the flow of blood. Plaques are composed of fibrous tissue, cholesterol and calcium. Arteriosclerosis leads to heart attack, stroke, and senility and may lead to amputation of extremities. Every single study of the use of Chelation Therapy for arteriosclerosis that has been published, without exception, has described an improvement in blood flow and symptoms. Adverse editorial comment to the contrary lacks evidence and stems primary from physicians with a vested interest in catheterization and surgery.
WHAT ARE THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CHELATION THERAPY AND OTHER TREATMENTS FOR ARTERY DISEASE? Chelation therapy can be utilized in conjunction with most other therapies for cardio-vascular disease. EDTA is Compatible with blood thinners, blood vessels dilators, medicines for blood pressure and heart arrhythmias, calcium blockers and beta-blockers. The need for drugs is often reduced or eliminated after a course of chelation therapy.
WHAT ABOUT SAFETY AND SIDE EFFECTS? Chelation therapy is among the safest of medical procedures. More than 400,000 patients have received over four million treatments during the past 30 years. Not one death has been directly caused by chelation therapy, when properly administered by a physician who was fully trained and competent in the use of this therapy. Side effects are possible as with any drug therapy. Vein irritation, mild pain, headache, and fatigue may occur. Occasionally a mild and transient fever occurs. These and other minor side effects, if they occur, are easily controlled by adjusting the duration and frequency of treatment, or with the use of other simple measures. Side effects tend to diminish after the first few treatments. Most patients experience few or no side effects.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED OR CAN BENEFIT FROM CHELATION THERAPY? If you have chest pain or leg pain on walking; shortness of breath; painful, discolored feet; transient loss of vision; paralysis; or rapidly failing memory, see a physician! Any unexplained or persistent symptoms that affect your heart, head or limbs should be explored for circulatory blockage.
CAN CHELATION THERAPY BE USED AFTER BYPASS SURGERY? YES! Although chelation therapy is best utilized to avoid bypass surgery, many patients who have previously undergone one or more bypass procedures, often with little or no benefit have subsequently benefited greatly from chealtion therapy. Treatment for each patient may be individualized. If all else fails, including chelation therapy, bypass remains available as a last report.
OXIDATIVE THERAPY CONSUMER INFORMATION WHAT IS OXIDATION? Most biochemical reactions in the body are balanced through redox mechanisms. Redox means reduction oxidation. Anytime a substance is reduced (chemically changed) something else must be oxidized (chemically changed the other way) for the reactions to stay in balance. As an example, oxidation is the process that causes rust. (Slow oxidation) or fire (rapid oxidation). In the body some types of oxidation are thought to be harmful by producing Free Radicals. (We also suggest people take Vitamin E, and antioxidant, to help reduce Free Radical formation) We know there can be no life if oxidation does not occur. Oxidation is the process through which the body converts sugars into energy. The body also uses oxidation as the first line of defense against bacteria, virus, yeast and parasites. Even breathing OXYGEN is an oxidative process. Without OXYGEN for more than a few seconds serious consequences follow. Without oxidation we die very quickly. When we use the principals of oxidation to bring about improvements in the body, it is called therapy, herein referred to as oxidative therapy.
IS THIS A NEW FORM OF THERAPY? Injections of Hydrogen Peroxide are not new. The intravenous use was first reported by Dr. T. H. Oliver in Lancet, The British Medical Journal, in 1920. Patients with influenza pneumonia were treated with Hydrogen Peroxide infusions with very good results. The use of Hydrogen Peroxide injection to generate OXYGEN in the body has been studied at many major medical research centers throughout the world. Research reports have come from Baylor, Yale, Harvard, UCLA, Boston, England, Japan, Germany, Sweden, Russia, Canada, Nova Scotia, and other countries. Today, between 50 and 100 scientific articles are published each month about the chemical and biological effects of Hydrogen Peroxide. More recently, the "Therapeutic Use of Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide" was reported by Charles H. Farr, M.D., Ph.D., at an International Medical Symposium in Czechoslovakia. Attended by representatives from 26 different countries. Oxidative Therapy, as introduced by Dr. Farr, is the rediscovery of an old treatment first reported almost 70 years age.
HOW DOES IT WORK IN THE BODY? There are many theories regarding the different functions of Hydrogen Peroxide in the body. There is also a great deal of scientific material to support almost every one. Hydrogen Peroxide is produced in the body in different amounts for different purposes. It is part of a system that helps you use the OXYGEN you breathe. It is part of a system that helps your body regulate all living cell membranes. A hormonal regulator, it is necessary for your body to produce several hormonal substances, such as; estrogen, progesterone and thyroid. It is important in the regulation of blood sugar and the production of energy in all cells it helps regulate certain chemicals necessary to operate the brain and nervous system. It is used in the defense system of the body to kill bacteria, virus, yeast and parasites. It is important in regulating the immune system. Scientists are discovering the function of Hydrogen Peroxide in the body is far more complex and important than previously realized.
WHAT CONDITIONS ARE BEING TREATED WITH THIS THERAPY? Oxidative Therapy using Hydrogen Peroxide has been reported in scientific literature and by physicians in the treatment of the following conditions or diseases, with varying degrees of success.
Heart and Blood Vessel Diseases
· Peripheral Vascular Disease (Poor Circulation) · Cerebral Vascular disease (Stroke and Memory) · Cardiovascular Disease (Heart Disease) · Coronary Spasm (Angina) · Cardio Conversion (Hear Stopped) · Heart Arrhythmia (Irregular Heart Beat) · Gangrene of fingers and toes · Rayland's Syndrome · Temporal Arthritis · Vascular and Cluster Headaches
Pulmonary Diseases
· Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Lung) · Emphysema (Lung Disease) · Asthma (Allergy, Lung) · Bronchiectasis · PCP (Pneumonia in AIDS) · Chronic Bronchitis
Infectious Diseases
· Influenza · Herpes Zoster (Shingles) · Herpes Simplex (Fever Blister) · Systemic Chronic Candidrasis (Candida) · Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Epstein Barr Virus) · HIV (AIDS) infections · Acute and Chronic Viral Infections · Chronic Unresponsive Bacterial Infections · Parasitic Infections
Immune Disorders
· Multiple Sclerosis · Rheumatoid Arthritis · Diabetes Mellitus Type II · Hypersensitive Persons
Miscellaneous
· Parkinson's Disease · Alzheimer · Migraine Headaches · Chronic Pain Syndromes (Multiple Etiologies)
HOW IS THIS THERAPY ADMINISTERED? Weak, very pure Hydrogen Peroxide (0.0375% or lower concentration) is added to a sugar water solution the same as used for intravenous feeding in hospitals. This is injected in doses from 50 to 500 ML. into a very large vein usually in the arm, slowly over a period of 1 to 3 hours depending on the amount given and the condition of the patient. It is painless, excluding the very small needle stick. Treatments are usually given about once a week in chronic illness, but can be given daily in patients with acute illness such as pneumonia or flu. The patient is rechecked usually in 1 to 3 months to evaluate the benefit and determine if additional treatment may be necessary. Some patients, especially with chronic illness, may need to take follow-up treatments in series of 5 to 10 treatments, or may need to be maintained indefinitely on regular monthly schedule. As many as 50 treatments have been administered to several patients without complications. An experienced physician must decide how many treatments are necessary in each individual case.
PROTOCOL FOR ASCORBATE TREATMENTS Ascorbate treatments are defined as the administration of intravenous solutions containing large (above 10 Gms) does of Vitamin C. The Vitamin C concentrations of these solutions usually range from 20 to 60 Gms. Some physicians report using doses as great as 100 Gms in patients with acute illness, particularly viral infections. The more acute and severe the illness the more frequently the ascorbate treatments are given. There is nothing unique about the preparation of the Ascorbate solutions except the Vitamin C should be preservative-free Ascorbic Acid. Large concentrations cause the osmolarity to increase dramatically and should be administered slowly to reduce any osmotic effect on the red cells.
SELECTION OF PATIENTS FOR ASCORBATES Ascorates have been used to treat everything from sinusitis to AIDS and cancer. Physicians have reported for years that they find ascorbates effective in a very wide range of diseases or metabolic dysfunctions. There is no good consensus of opinion about how Ascorbates work in the body or what type of patients should be treated. We are not aware of an established protocol which defines the best method for treating what diseases with ascorbates. In our experience Ascorbates are useful in treating acute illness such as influenza, mild to moderate infections of all types, and chronic conditions such as Chronic Fatigue, Immune depression, mental depression, environmental intoxication, etc. Most physicians select patients using almost the same criteria used in selecting a patient for hydrogen peroxide therapy. The similarity is not accidental, because there is evidence in the literature that ascorbic acid increases endogenous hydrogen peroxide production. It is probable the beneficial effects seen with large doses of Ascorbates are due to the production of hydrogen peroxide.
Newest Starr Walker’s Product Pure Concentrated Minerals a “Fulvic Mineral Complex”
Fulvic Acid is one of the most crucial factors in the reversal and prevention of disease, as well as the maintenance of good health. This miracle molecule passes through cell walls with ease, unlike colloidals which are too large to be used easily by cells. Vital Earth’s liquid minerals are organic, plant derived, and ionic, and contain higher concentrations of fulvic acid than other leading mineral products. Minerals in their proper form provide the catalyst that allows vitamins to be utilized and are essential for 95% of all metabolic functions of the human body. Without minerals, vitamins are of little value. What makes it superior? Complexed and dissolved minerals in their unaltered, organic form for maximum bio-availability. “ “Organic, plant derived” means there are no metallic or clay based minerals in our product, which translates to no toxic heavy metal build up. Only takes 1 drop in 8oz.of water of your favorite beverage for a daily serving. Nothing artificial added: No artificial sweeteners or colors, and no sugar. A 2.0 oz bottle of Pure Concentrate Minerals is available at $15.76.
A WORD FROM CATHY: information on this: Autoimmune disease is caused by the immune system attacking the body’s own organs or tissues. Autoimmune disease strikes one in every five Americans. The causes of autoimmune disease are unknown. When the immune system attacks the joints, it is called arthritis; when it attacks myelin (the insulation of the nerves) it is Multiple Sclerosis; when it attacks certain desmogleins (the “glue” that holds the skin together), it is a blistering disease called pemphigus. What is pemphigoid? Pemphigoid is a group of rare autoimmune skin diseases that manifest themselves in burn-like lesions (blisters) that can cover a significant percentage of the skin and/or mucous membranes. Lesions are usually intense and painful. Pemphigoid is not contagious but it can be debilitating. bullous pemphigoid (BP) and cicatricial pemphigoid (CP). BP patients often suffer persistent and sometimes severe itch. Proper care of damaged skin is important to avoid infection and scarring. CP is more stubborn than BP and may affect the mucous membranes, the moist areas of skin including the mouth, throat and parts of the eye. Scarring is more frequent and this can cause serious problems such as blindness. The long held belief held by many pemphigus and pemphigoid patients that stress triggers and exacerbates their disease was supported by the results of a study released in Washington, D.C. November 2002. "Chronic stress seems to impair the immune system's capacity to respond to glucocortico hormones that normally are responsible for terminating an inflammatory response following infection and/or injury." This is one of the conclusions of the study which appeared in the November issue of "Health Psychology" the
journal of the American Psychological Association. and or parasites. If you or someone you know has any of these symptoms, please call the clinic today at 405-753-9355 to set up an appointment for a screening on the MSAS.
JUST A THOUGHT Stressed spelled backwards is Desserts! Think about it. Sugar shuts your immune system down and so does stress.
