healthy water... healthy body
are you acidic ???
"The cells and fliuds of most people's bodies are overly acidic. This can cause a lot of health problems. It prevents your body from netralizing and desposing harmful, poisonious toxins and leaves you more suseptable to the cell damaging, free redical oxidations that leads to cancer and other diseases."
"Just about every condition I can think of from arthritis to diabetes, to cancer is associated with acidity"
Dr. Robert Atkins, Author, Diet and Health Expert
Chronic disease is always chronic acidity. For example cancer does not exist unless or until the intestinal fluid becomes acidic. Aging is also a process of the body becoming more and more acidic, which results in digestive problems, low energy levels and dehydration
Do you have any of these symptoms?
Migranes
Poor circulation
Leg cramps
Chronic fatigue
Heartburn
Indigestion
Nausea
Cramping
Gas
Malabsorbtion of nutrition
Obesity
Leaky gut syndrome
Dehydration
Chronic constipation chronic diarrhea
Abnormal GI fermentation
Candidiasis
Psoriasis
Arthritis
High blood pressure
Osteoporosis
Premature aging
A history of chronic disease
The Ionizer Plus® Ultraviolet Disinfection, Ionization is the BEST water system out there I can find. Not only does it filter the water with out stripping it from the essential minerals which then makes your water acidic. The Ionizing, disinfecting and alkalizing process makes for it superior to all other systems. Compare fuction to function and price to price and nothing will compare to the Akai Electrolizer.
Did you know that when you use a system like reverse osmosis but stripping out the minerals you are actually making the water more acidic?
Optimum Health Begins With Healthy Water
The Ionizer Plus® is a unique combination of an advanced water ionization system AND a state-of-the-art water filtration system.
The ionized water restores proper acid / alkaline balance to your system, detoxifies and hydrates the body, improves digestion and elimination, and fights aging.
Its superior water filter removes contaminants, chlorine, chemicals, and bacteria including e. coli, giardia, cryptosporidium, SARS, and anthrax and other biological weapons bacteria. Ultraviolet rays remove viruses. The Ionizer Plus® is the most advanced combination water ionizer and water filter available anywhere in the world.
More health practitioners recommend the Ionizer Plus® than any other water treatment device.
The cost of this system breaks down to 12 cents per gallon! Now why buy plastic bottles of water that are toxic to drink and harm our environment? when you can have the BEST water at you fingertips for less money than any bottled water.
High Tech Health International, Inc. has been solving digestive problems for customers around the world since 1995 -- no other company has our depth of knowledge and experience. We now have over 4000 health practitioners that refer their patients to us.
If your doctor diagnised you with chronic heartburn, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, malabsorption, or the myriad of problems associated with digestion... The electrolyzer helps the body reverse these problems -- all with a thirty day, 100% money-back guarantee (less shipping). Give them a call now and start feeling better soon.
Regarding the Ionizer Plus: besides producing water with a pH as high as 10, the alkaline water machine produces water that is "wetter," more permeable and more soluble by using electricity to break apart individual water molecules that normally cluster together. Additionally, the Ionizer Plus makes minerals in the water more readily available to the body by ionizing them to a smaller size that can be absorbed more easily. Even with filter changes every 1-2 years, over the lifetime of the machine, the Ionizer Plus produces chemical- and microorganism-free water at a cost of approximately 12 cents/gallon over its 12-14 year lifetime! Please note: The Ionizer Plus is not designed for use with a water softener.

cancer confidential
This info touches on some of the best info I have come across in regards to cancer prevention. You don't need to have or have had cancer to benefit from this info. In fact, you can prevent it in advance by your lifestyle choices. Beat your odds! If you read my last post the odds are NOT in your favor that you will develop cancer in your lifetime.
Cancer is a Whole body disease.
by Keith Scott-Mumby
If you’ve read enough, you’ll know that cancer is a disease of the whole body—and I don’t mean it has spread over the whole body—I mean every part of you is involved in the degeneration that ran down and led to this condition, even if the tumor is just small and local. In fact, even if they have taken it away, with assurances “We got it all”, this still applies and your body is still in that bad
condition.
If you haven’t understood this yet, you need to read more. You are missing something important. Doctors will not tell you this vital health information because they operate in blind ignorance. I’m a fully trained MD and entitled to make this criticism. Doctors are taught that cancer is a lump and if they can stop the lumps spreading, they are controlling the disease. Not true.
The disease is a health condition and to be safe you need to get out of that condition. Don’t wait even a day. It is vital you get started on the recovery program.
Remember my keynote rule:
ANY GOOD HEALTH MEASURE IS AN ANTICANCER MEASURE
Live by this rule!
Here are some simple steps which will transform your journey through sickness to health. I urge you to do them right away.
Make a dramatic change in your diet.
Be as tough as you can stand it for 3- 5 days and then follow one or other diet program of the many that have been published.
I suggest you limit yourself to just smoothies (fruits, berries and vegetables ONLY), fresh chopped fruit chunks, salads, fish and vegetables (hot or cold).
Drink herbs teas, fresh squeezed juices and spring water. It sounds extreme but, hey, it’s only a few days kick-start.
This regimen is just a holding position but I can all but promise you this: it will stop the cancer dead in its tracks, while you reflect what to do and what plan to follow. This will buy you time.
Don’t fall for the “organic” story at this time. You especially need to avoid cereals (which convert to sugars), dairy products, stimulant drinks (tea and coffee) and sugar (and honey and other sweeteners). This applies even if you are told they are wonderful, “natural” and organic even.
Avoid all manufactured foods because it’s ALL junk.
Keep off these danger foods and be strict. This isn’t a slimming diet where you can cheat just a teeny bit. The stakes are now too high.
As you understand better what you are doing, you can selectively re-introduce certain food items.
Will I Be Hungry?
The only hard part of eating to a plan like this is food addiction. That’s right, we all get hooked on certain favorite foods and we feel “hungry” without them. That’s not hunger, it’s food withdrawal symptoms, which at times can be very severe.
But you can test my statement for yourself, easily. Eat plenty and see if the “hunger” or food cravings go away! They won’t. You can eat half a cantaloupe and a pound of apples and still feel you “need something”. That something is whatever you are addicted to. It’s one of the reasons you’ve got cancer!
You might also expect to feel lacking in energy on a strict regime like this—and so you will. But only for a few days. After that, I promise you will feel fresher, cleaner, more zestful than you have felt in years, despite your affliction.
You won’t need to be this strict for long. A few days will break your addictions.
For more details on the different diet plans, the Gerson, Kelley, Budwig and so on, you’ll need to refer to my book “Cancer Confidential”.
By the way, my own “Diet Wise” is a very powerful tool for getting to the safest diet for you. By eliminating stressor foods, you will unburden the immune system.
Check out “Diet Wise” here:
www.dietwisebook.com
Get yourself cleaned up emotionally
Look, I don’t care what you’ve been told. I only know this: all cases of cancer have had a severe psychic shock somewhere in the 3 years leading up to the tumor (not necessarily the diagnosis). Dr Hamer, from Germany, called it his “iron rule” of cancer and he has over 40,000 cases to prove it. In fact Galen, a famous Roman doctor, 2,000 years ago said “Cancer never strikes a happy person”. That may be extreme but you’ve got to take this on board.
Stress, destructive emotions or what I have christened “negative passions” are hurting you badly. It could be argued they kill us all, in the end. But why stay passive?
You need to rid yourself of these negative passions. You need somebody competent and I’m not talking about papering over the cracks with something trivial like EFT. I’m mean puking up the deep stuff and getting it OUT—and GONE.
You’d be better with Alcoholics Anonymous famous Step 4 than some wishy-washy “counselor”. Step 4 is a tough program; but it works. It’s a severe psychic readjustment. But violent disease requires violent solutions sometimes.
You’ll need to finish up with something on the positive side though, like lashings of love therapy!
You may think you are not an “emotional person”. That’s the biggest danger sign I know. Research shows the person most likely to get a cancer is someone who bottles up their emotions, instead of giving free vent to them. A docile, complaint woman for instance, who puts her husband and family before herself, always making sacrifices and “caring about others” (obsessively) is the classic victim most likely to develop cancer.
Suppressed emotions of this kind are even more toxic than the fiery extrovert ones. Buried anger and hidden resentment, the kind of thinking that puts all hopes and dreams onto the back burner, but secretly blames others for the lost opportunities, is truly deadly. You need to let go, in order to live. That’s true, incidentally, even if you don’t have cancer (yet!)
Caution: if you are in an emotionally toxic relationship, where you come under a constant barrage of criticism and derision, instead of nurture, I advise you to leave. Immediately.
You cannot fight cancer in an emotionally destructive environment. Face it, it’s probably that environment which brought you down. You must get out of it as sure as a drowning man or woman must get out of the water—or perish. Whether you ever go back is up to you. People can work things out. But not in a climate of fear or oppression. I wouldn’t call that a relationship, anyway. This is harsh counseling—but you wouldn’t want me to mince words or gloss over important issues, now would you?
You need to get de-toxed fast.
When I use the word “de-tox” I’m not talking about cissy diets that are popular in women’s magazines. I mean a real, deep down chemical clean up. Your body is overloaded with chemical filth. Tests show pesticides, PCBs, phthalates and other crazy chemical toxins in everyone’s bodies.
Friends of mine (Dr. Bill Rea and his team) doing research into remote lakes all over the world found these poisons in the water supply—and that was back in the 1980s.There is no pure water left on planet Earth.
Nobody is free of chemical pollution.
So, what’s the big deal if everybody is exposed, you want to know? Some people might be coping (they may just get diagnosed later than you did). But in your case, which is what matters, these carcinogens have got to you.
You must repel them with all the fire and courage you would use to fight pirates if they attacked your ship on the high seas. You must fight. You cannot do nothing and wait helplessly. To continue the nautical metaphor, the pirates will win and you’ll just end up walking the plank—a death sentence.
Clean up everything you can think of in the home. Get rid of 90% of the stuff you find there, under the sink, in cupboards, in the garage, the garden shed. Most of it you don’t want. All of it will have found its way into your tissues.
Don’t forget the dangers of cosmetics, ladies! The average woman absorbs about a pound of cosmetic chemicals every year and most of them are not proven safe.
If you are reluctant to accept this, let me start you out with some examples.
Black and dark brown permanent hair dyes contain numerous ingredients, such as diaminoanisole and FD&C Red 33, recognized as carcinogens in experimental animals and the cause of relatively rare cancers in humans: non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and multiple myeloma.
Cosmetic grade talc is carcinogenic in experimental animals. Also, frequent genital dusting with talc, routinely practiced by some 17% of women, increases risks of ovarian cancer.
A group of widely used preservatives, such as quaternium15 and bronopol, widely used in baby products, though not carcinogenic themselves, break down to release formaldehyde, a potent irritant and recognized carcinogen.
Commonly used cosmetic detergents and foaming agents, such as polysorbates and PEG, are usually contaminated with the volatile carcinogen dioxane.
DEA, another widely used chemical detergent, will combine with nitrite preservatives or contaminants in cosmetic products to form a highly carcinogenic nitrosamine. Furthermore, recent government studies showed that DEA itself is also carcinogenic following application to mouse skin.
I don’t expect you to know the chemistry of all this stuff. Just to get a grasp of the scale of the problem. These are a few examples from the world of cosmetics: stuff we put onto our precious skin everyday and absorb. Remember our skin is almost porous—why do you think hormone patches work?
But then you add cleaners, solvents, paint substances, dry cleaning fluids, plastics, PVC, aerosols and air “fresheners” (what a con), toothpaste (almost all of it contains FD & C Blue Dyes 1 & 2 and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a toxic degreaser, notorious for damaging skin).
I could go on and on. I’ve not even mentioned the TORRENT of toxic chemicals contaminating our food, which we swallow every day. The list will run on to thousands of pages. You have to grasp this.
No, I don’t want you to go and live in a glass bubble in the middle of the ocean. That’s too extreme and not necessary.
The principle we want to guide us here is that of reducing total burden. If you get rid of 90- 95% of the contaminants, you risk will fall by 90- 95%. It’s just logic.
What about the stuff that’s already soaked into your tissues? I was coming to that…
Look after your liver
Your liver is a magnificent chemical breakdown facility. It’s industrial-strength detox pathways spare your life every day, breaking down these deadly chemicals we are exposed to.
But no matter how wonderful this organ, there is a limit to what it can cope with. It can’t go on helping you if you let it get battered every second of every day, without relief. You need to support your liver and give it all the love you can.
Without a fully functioning liver, you wouldn’t last more than a few hours. It’s all that’s between you and certain death.
Doctors never educate their patients in liver care (they don’t know enough liver care themselves). Even alternative practitioners are mainly foolish and ignorant (for example the stupid “liver flush”, swallowing masses of olive and when beads of oily soap are seen in the toilet, they call that “gallstones”!)
Here is a simple way to get started on liver care, without getting too technical.
First, I am assuming you have followed the diet advice in step 1. The toxic nature of many foods, especially manufactured foods, adds unnecessarily to the liver burden. Decent natural fodder in the fruit and veg category are your liver’s favorite nutrients. Eats lots of them.
Next you need to supply it with some special nutrients. You may have heard of milk thistle. Even the ancient Romans knew it would protect the liver against alcohol damage from their ridiculous drinking excesses (cirrhosis).
Milk thistle, we now know, works by increasing glutathione in the liver. Glutathione is our number one miracle de-tox molecule. It can beat almost all the pirates I have been talking about. But it’s a bitter war because for every pirate molecule run off the ship, we lose a glutathione soldier. It has to be replaced constantly.
So when we are exposed to chemicals in any concentration, we need LOTS of glutathione.
Silymarin, from milk thistle is one source. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is another source; so is alpha lipoic acid. Don’t worry if you are not familiar with these fancy names. You can solve the problem with one simple 6-a-day capsule.
It’s a commercial product called MaxGXL and trials have shown it increases intracellular glutathione almost three-fold (291%).
Take that and you’re done.
If you want to shop around and take a bunch of capsules and pills, that’s fine.
I suggest these doses for you:
N-acetyl cysteine 500 mgms
Alpha lipoic acid 200 mgms
Glutamine 500 mgms twice a day
Silymarin 200 mgms (will require 250- 300 mgms Milk Thistle)
Personally, I think it’s more convenient to take the combined dose. You can get it here:
www.sozomax.com/100882
By law I am required to stress that MaxGXL or any other supplement is NOT a cure for cancer. I am recommending it as a way of significantly increasing
glutathione levels in your body. That’s all.
Special enema
Now the next thing may seem a bit outlandish but it’s good science. It’s using coffee enemas! Say what?
This old and recognized liver stimulant technique has been in the medical textbooks for decades. So if your doctor scoffs, don’t worry about it. Tell him you found it in an old Merck Manual; that’ll cause a shock!
But—the skeptics wail—it’s not a recognized cancer technique. That’s true. They just can’t read. The Merck Manual says it’s a liver support technique!
Nobody serious argues with the Merck Manual. It’s fatter than most medical textbooks (with thinner pages), in fact it’s Bible thick and Bible-shaped.
I suggest you ignore officious busy-bodies who want to prevent you doing anything THEY didn’t sanction. It’s your body; your survival that matters.
It’s easy to do and every single patient I have had use it feels the benefit. I know from the writings of other physicians they find the same thing. Just do it—but keep quite about it.
Here’s the technique I use:
1. Add 3 teaspoonful of fresh ground organic coffee (not instant or decaffeinated) to 2 pints (1.3 litres) of distilled water (available from the pharmacy). Boil for 5 minutes, to drive off the oils. Then cover it and simmer for a further 15 minutes.
2. Strain through gauze or a typical plastic coffee filter and allow to cool to body temperature. Put this in the enema bag. Hang the bag at about standing head height.
3. Then lie down. Lubricate and insert the nozzle, several inches (well beyond the rectal canal). Open the stop cock and allow the liquid to drain very slowly into your intestines. Relax and breath slowly while this takes place.
4. Try to take the whole bag and retain for around 15 minutes. If you feel spasms or unpleasant symptoms, close the stop cock or if there isn’t one, simply lower the bag to the floor. Wait for half a minute and then try again.
5. Immediate symptoms of headache, fever, nausea, intestinal spasms and drowsiness generally indicate the flushing of toxins. Increase the frequency if this happens. If you wake with a headache and drowsiness, this could mean withdrawal symptoms. Try an extra enema last thing at night.
6. IMPORTANT: After the last enema at night you need to inject via your rectum about 50mls. of cold-pressed sunflower seed oil, flax seed oil or similar, to line your intestines and protect the mucus membranes.
7. Keep all equipment clean but sterility is not required. You can find more on this in my book “Cancer Confidential”.
The Power Of Positive Thinking
I’ve mentioned the negative effects of negative emotions and blooding over hostile or destructive thoughts.
But there is another side to the mind and its effects in disease and in health. You can (truly) think your way to a cure. It’s sometimes called positive thinking. It doesn’t matter what you label it, it’s about RIGHT ATTITUDE. What you believe about yourself and the possibilities for the situation you are in are critical in shaping the outcomes.
You can think of this as “spiritual nutrition” and it’s just as important for you as
right eating.
If you give up and lay down, fate will likely walk over you and tread you down. But if you decide you are captain of your own ship (there’s that nautical metaphor again), then you set the course and trim the sails. It’s your life!
Probably nothing finishes off cancer patients to quickly and so surely as giving up control of the dangerous situation to someone else—even if that someone else is your oncologist. Doctors are living their own lives, with their own agendas and purpose, and you must trust me when I say that this has NOTHING to do with your fate or happy outcome. To them you are a pawn in an impersonal game they play every day.
For you it is deadly serious and their rules, anybody’s rules, do not necessarily apply. This is the story of YOU, not the “average” person (whatever that means). The textbook does not apply to you because you are not a book case, you are a living being with your own mind and your own drives. Almost everyone who survived and beat this disease did so because they were cussed and refused to accept the routine or normal.
What you must be especially on guard against is doctors telling you what THEY think is going to happen. Doctors get it so absurdly wrong, so often, it would be laughable if the topic were not so deadly serious.
It’s great to be smarty Aleck and pronounce when a patient is going to die. It gives you immense power and prestige, doesn’t it?
Well, it didn’t for me. Yet doctors go on doing it and I can’t think of any other reason. Or actually, I can: cruelty or stupidity are the other two obvious reasons.
Stupidity I put there because the average doctor cannot seem to get it into his or her head and work schema that Nature heals, that patients recover and that disease has a healing purpose.
Why else would doctors go on telling cancer patients “You have 6 months to live”(or weeks or whatever)?
Don’t they see it’s going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy in most cases? A patient under the duress of feeling sick and frightened is told by this powerful authority figure “You are going to die”; what do you think will happen?
Right! The patient’s subconscious will take this pronouncement on board and make it come true. That way the doctor looks good – he or she got it right. But it doesn’t come under the functions of a doctor as I understand them.
If a doctor ever says such words to you, translate them as follows: “I don’t know what I’m talking about and I don’t know what I’m doing. I suggest you find a natural healer and follow a spiritual and lifestyle path to a cure.”
The fact is that every disease you can name, of every severity, has been survived by others before you. People sick unto death and not expected to last the day have got up and walked out of hospital; terminal cancer patients, whose bodies were riddled with secondaries, have recovered and the tumors gone away (and stayed away for the rest of their lives); people who were paralyzed have walked again (done a few of those myself) and even genetically-determined conditions have disappeared, no matter the DNA message.
Doctors must stop pronouncing on patients what becomes a death sentence by impact. Don’t let ‘em scare or bully you!
It usually needs little more than a change of mind, a determination by the patient, the will to survive, and the natural healing process kicks in. Mostly, I have noticed, the patients who survive have a slight scorn or even contempt for the doctors who failed them. That’s probably why they won’t agree to the death sentence.
The fact is, whatever you are facing, there is a path back to health. You may have been living where this path is very hidden and overgrown with intellectual weeds. But it’s there. It’s ALWAYS there; God makes sure of that. You only have to find your path!
Avenues to try
Dr O. Carl Simonton, a radiation oncologist, showed the power of positive imagery in mastering cancer. His critics argue it has not been proven to increase
survival.
Well playing computer games in which the patient shoots down malignant cells has definitely been shown to do so. Let the skeptics go hang. They’ll change their squeal if ever they get cancer, trust me.
The fact is that since time immemorial, it has been known that the mind is an immensely powerful tool for changing reality and experience. The cold, impersonal (and mostly erring) pseudo-science of Western medicine simply has no grasp of this idea.
The fact is that you cannot subject mind power to double-blind cross-over trials. That doesn’t make it unscientific. You can’t subject gravity to double-blind crossover trials; does that mean gravity is unscientific—a hoax?
For a comprehensive overview of mind and spiritual methods, I can’t do better than recommend Marc Ian Barasch’s book “The Healing Path”. Marc had thyroid cancer. But he happened to be editor of the New Age Journal and so he knew better than most where to look in his search.
In this book, which someone called a “watershed”, Barasch has assembled an enlightening collection of field notes, anecdotes, meditations, and personal accounts of individuals who have grappled with cancer (and life-threatening illnesses). He adds insights from a variety of healers, including Indian medicine men, Tibetan lamas, practitioners of Chinese medicine, and Brazilian psychic healers.
Barasch challenges readers to move beyond conventional Western understandings of medicine and the total reliance upon doctors. Western scientific medicine isn’t as clever as it likes to think. In fact it’s mainly disappointing when it comes to real healing and not patching over problems.
The soul approach to illness presented by Barasch validates the link between inner spiritual work and true healing. It also celebrates the potential healingmessage of illness and the importance of finding a way of living that involves self-acceptance and a sense of purpose.
It might surprise you to know many people have rejoiced in the fact they got cancer: it woke them up to a whole new and wonderful world of the Self that they had been missing.
There is nothing like a brush with death to really focus the mind, after all!
“Magic Bullet”
I would be remiss not to warn you ardently against the mentality that seeks out some new “magic cure” for cancer. The Web is full of these stories. DCA (dichloroacetate) is one of the current buzz elixirs. Patients desperately want to believe that this will save them and they argue that the government andregulatory bodies that won’t allow it because it’s toxic are being conspiratorial.
I’m not a supporter of the way governments do things. But DCA is definitely far more toxic than these websites would have you believe and I don’t think it’s of much value, in terms of its therapy-to-toxicity ratio.
My argument here is not really whether DCA works or not. It’s that you must get rid of the mentality that is looking for a “magic bullet” cure. Those who hail DCA and other remedies as an effective treatment are bone-deep lazy and want something that is going to save them, without having to take the trouble to change their diet or detox their lives in the ways I have described.
That sort of mentality will kill you.
There is only one true answer to cancer and that’s to address the disastrous health factors that you have allowed to deteriorate and fix them.
When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something’s suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful. ~Barbara Bloom
Never, never, never give up. ~Winston Churchill
And to finish....
Finally, there is prayer. There have been studies to see if it increases survival and a lot of argument over whether prayer “works”. I consider this absurd: if you feel better, then prayer has worked.
Beyond that it’s a question of which story you accept. One important study was done by people who seemed determined to prove it didn’t work and used inexperienced participants. They were given a worthless technique that nobody uses and insufficient time was given to the experiment.
The other trial was carried out by experienced healers, doing what they do best and it showed clear benefit.
Both studies included controls.
I think this has nothing to do with the value of prayer healing for you, as an individual. You do it for yourself, for your own reasons and because you value it. I consider it a gross impertinence that scientists would even want to intrude with attempts to “prove” whether or not you are wasting your time.
CONCLUSION
So that’s it then. This is a short journey and has no pretensions to be more than just a “fast start” on your journey towards healing. It only remains for me to wish you well and point you in the direction of my super-informative “Cancer Confidential” Report, in which you will find all these issues and many more treated in depth, with considerable skill and knowledge.

russian roulette anyone?
by Keith Scott-Mumby
Would you play Russian roulette; put one bullet in a six-shooter, spin the chamber, point it at your head and then pull the trigger? It seems to me crazy to put yourself through a 1 in 6 chance of dying. I wouldn’t play even if the odds were 100 to 1 (not because I’m a coward but because I’m not stupid!)
But would you consider another version of Russian roulette in which you put 3 bullets in the chamber; then shoot? That’s a 50:50 chance of dying. Would you do that?
The reason I ask is that we are all, in effect, playing 3-bullet version of Russian roulette with cancer. Figures show that one of two men, and almost that many women, will get cancer at some time in their lives. That’s 50:50 odds… That’s why I often say to people “We are all battling cancer”. Either you, or a loved one close to you, will probably get this disease.
How to beat breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, colon cancer, and many more... it's easier than you think! You can laugh at cancer, if you follow the scores of scientifically proven secrets Professor Keith wants to share with you...
Cancer will come into your life. The Big C movie is coming, some day, to a cinema very close to you. Even if you don’t have the starring role, I assure you it's not funny watching someone you love slowly wither away with this disease.
The irony is that cancer is fairly preventable, and certainly in its early stages is rather easy to treat. Cancer really doesn't deserve its dread reputation. The problem is, many doctors like me believe, that orthodox therapy can be very harmful and not always satisfactory at eradicating the disease.
In fact, there are many other alternative cancer therapies practised around the world by qualified, ethical doctors in good standing. The fact these therapies are outlawed in the USA, does not mean they are not perfectly legal anywhere else – and certainly does not mean they are not effective. Many of them work really well and I would use them instead of conventional therapy for myself or my family. For example, the commonest oncology drug prescribed in Germany is a herbal homoeopathic preparation. I bet you have never heard of it!
That's why I prepared to you a comprehensive consumer report called "Cancer Confidential". It will give you details of scores of these alternative remedies and explain how they work; these are remedies that orthodox medicine would rather you never even heard about. They don’t want you to know about them because they are cheap and effective. It would affect their revenues.
But you don’t care if the oncologists get less money. What you care about is that you and your family will be able to survive cancer and live a normal life span. In fact it doesn't matter if you are opting for chemo or radiation at the same time, this report will still help you. It will show you how to reduce the side effects and make chemotherapy more likely to succeed.
We know so much about cancer today, nobody should die of this disease.
When I say "alternative" therapies, don't think I just mean whacky folk cures! I'm talking about different -- but totally scientific -- options to the deadly game of surgical mutilation, chemotherapy and radiation. These holistic methods work AT LEAST as well as accepted conventional treatment.
So why don't doctors offer these alternatives?
Doctors today are taught to view anything outside the drug industry's choke-hold on medical thinking as very suspect, or even fraudulent. They have an exclusive monopoly on what they CLAIM is the "proper" treatment for cancer.
Yet the results of orthodox medicine are deplorably bad. I know. I am a fully qualified MD (MB ChB in Britain, which is bachelor of medicine, bachelor of surgery). Yes, I've had my hands in people's guts and chests. But long ago, I chose the gentler and safer route of natural medicine.
That doesn't mean I abandoned science. I'm BIG on science, logic, reason and empricial testing. In fact I'm the scourge of both the orthodox lies and the "holistic" humbug that professes a superior attitude to that of doctors.
I tell it like it is. I shoot straight. After all, I'm not trying to sell you treatment or supplements. I have no motivation to tell you anything but the truth. So, if you don't want to EVER die from cancer, make sure my fabulous new comprehensive resource "Cancer Confidential" is on your desk.
What do 4 Nobel Prize winner know about cancer that most oncologists don't?
Would it surprise you to know that at least four Nobel Prize winners have made breakthroughs towards the safe, scientific treatment of cancer, without deadly chemo and radiation treatment?
Their discoveries go back over 80 years, yet their pioneer work is being ignored by modern doctors. It could be saving lives -- YOUR life, or the life of someone you love. Yet it is being suppressed. Ironically, what I rate the biggest discovery of all, about the real way to treat cancer successfully, was re-affirmed with a completely up to date scientific study that took place in Boston College and was published in a reputable scientific journal as recently as 2008 [Journal of Lipid Research.2008; 49: 2545-2556].
Another scientist, seven times nominated for the Nobel Prize, discovered a glorious food substance which literally traps the healing power of sunlight and delivers it to your body in the form of active, restorative electron energy (this is not New Age pseudo-science babble but real cutting edge knowledge, as you will see when you read the explanation in full).
Yet another doctor, a "recovered oncologist" as it were, has discovered that all cancer cases share one simple precipitating element and if this is addressed, recovery is almost certain. He has over 40,000 cases, over 90% success rate and many people alive today who were sick almost to death before he found and rescued them.
I can (and will) show you three different diet regimes that have each proven capable of bringing a patient back right from the very edge of death with terminal cancer, and putting them on the road to recovery. Not just that but the patients attained better health than ever before and many people have said they had cause to BLESS the fact that they got cancer.
You see, alternatives work -- at least as well as some chemo and often better. The pay off is that you learn true health, not just the suppression of disease.
Let me repeat, you don't necessarily have to abandon orthodox treatment. The super healing alternative strategies I describe for you are (almost all) quite compatible with other methods and will help you undergo chemotherapy or radiation treatment, without the notorious unpleasant side effects.
In "Cancer Confidential" you'll learn scores of proven, helpful techniques, which your own doctor and oncologist would definitely prefer you didn't hear about.
The Cancer Mafia
Unfortunately, the medical profession is often the last place you’d get the truth. The pharmaceutical industry and hungry, unethical doctors seeking their own gain have conspired to become what has appropriately been called the “Cancer Mafia”. They have long since departed the agenda of putting patient care first and now run their own program, which is to protect profits and destroy anyone who wants to offer alternatives to their ghastly, unsuccessful and expensive methodology.
On the weakest of science, which is easy to pick holes in, they go on cutting, poisoning and burning patients in the name of a “cure”. Yet they attack with a frenzy amounting to blind fury anything holistic, gentle and cheaper, on the grounds that it is “unproven”, “bogus” and even “dangerous”.
In fact the “War ON Cancer”, vaunted by the cancer establishment, should be renamed the “War ABOUT cancer”. There is a life and death struggle (literally) going on, for the right to tell patients the truth, openly, and let each person decide for themselves what to do. According to the AMA, FDA and other institutional bureaucracies, no-one should have the right to speak freely, except doctors entrenched in the dogma of the day. The so-called cancer charities, like the American Cancer Society are phony and clearly on the side of the Cancer Mafia, not the truth.
So I know, it’s difficult for the patient or family to know what to think, facing a blizzard of conflicting data and excesses of abusive language and criticism, most of it wrapped up in scientific jargon. That's why I wrote "Cancer Confidential", to help you make the right decisions.
This is what the "cancer war" is really about:
It’s proven time and time again that many of these alternative treatments are at least as effective as chemotherapy and radiation, with hardly any side effects.
There’s a simple piece of electronic equipment that’s been around for 80 years, and any handyman can make, that has a terrific cure rate against cancer without side effects (no, not the famous Rife machine). It was developed by a Russian genius and in 1930s there were literally hundreds of clinics all over Europe providing safe, effective cancer treatment curing many. Today you never hear of this treatment (page 129), unless you go researching.
A whole new theory of cancer was evolved by a Scottish doctor which led to a simple, safe nutritional treatment. It was wildly effective and by 1911, in London alone, there were over 40 clinics offering this treatment (page 64).
But it simply vanished. Marie Curie’s radium “cure” was invented and simple natural remedies were swept aside. Ironically Marie Curie’s method is now known to be one of the main CAUSES of cancer, yet doctors go on using it. They hope to kill the tumor just before they kill the patient (and don't always get it right).
You might think the Scottish doctor’s treatment must have vanished altogether and you would be nearly right. But in 1967 a US dentist repeated the same success and showed the world a whole safe new approach to cancer. He cured himself on one of the most deadly cancers and went on to live over 30 years beyond his “sell by” date.
But this brilliant dentist was attacked violently for daring to go up against the Cancer Mafia and finally quit. Even that’s not the end of the story. A young researcher took up the case in the 1980s. I'll tell you that story in more detail lower down the page.
So what is the matter with my conventional colleagues? Why can’t they see the truth staring them down?
The answer, of course, is money. John Beard’s treatment cost just a few dollars, compared to $100,000s for the “correct” treatment. What self-respecting oncologist would give up all that income, just because it was in the patient’s best interest? (sorry to sound cynical but that’s the profession today).
It’s such a greedy, voracious, money-gobbling machine I know of cases where the patients have even been diagnosed fraudulently as having cancer, so the hospital can make money by treating them (since the treatment unquestionably kills some patients, this is tantamount to murder in any other profession).
Oncologists don’t have your interested at heart. In one case I know a doctor had cured a cancer patient. Instead of being happy about it, the oncologist made an official complaint, because it lost him over $300,000 in fees. The doctor was run out of town; in fact he was run out of the country. He can no longer practice medicine safely in the USA.
You couldn’t make this up; you’d be laughed at! It’s worse than the lurid tales in tabloid papers, like the National Enquirer or News Of The World.
But beware the alternatives too !
Unfortunately, the alternative cancer field is also seething with bogus cures and claims, especially if viewed from the Internet. It is clear to anyone knowledgeable that a great many people, totally unqualified, are indeed “cashing in”, exactly as the orthodox critics claim. If there is one thing worse than a dangerous doctor, after 7 years of training, then it’s a dangerous amateur, with NO training.
That’s where Cancer Confidential comes in. It’s been a massive project in assembling data on numerous aspects of cancer alternatives, the clinics and the people involved that are, according to my review, both credible and effective. I’ve sifted the wheat from the chaff and offer it to you as good intellectual nourishment!
I’m a regular MD (trained at a medical school in the UK); I’ve been professor at two universities; I’ve treated patients just shy of 40 years, using exclusively alternative and holistic methods, including cancer patients, of course. Many of them are still alive and well. Some just died of natural causes—we all have to go sometime.
And so I consider myself to be a person well qualified to walk you through the cancer cure minefield, without getting your legs blown off.
I’m now retired from practice and so not trying to solicit you as a patient. Nor am I intending to sell you any supplements or products on which I earn money. That’s important to you. Because it means I am free to tell it like it is! The truth.
Cancer Confidential is a major contribution to knowledge in this field and I hope you will find it helpful. It’s jam packed with information never before assembled all in one document. Not only that but there is a resources supplement to follow, linking you with numerous centers for treatment, the therapies and remedies you are looking for.
Not a death knell, but it is a wake up call!
It’s one of my sayings that cancer is not a death knell. It’s a wake-up call, telling you your health is in bad shape. You need to do something or you may well perish.
But your choices are many and varied. There are SCORES of approaches that have all had successful outcomes for those who have gone before you. In "Cancer Confidential" I’ll tell you all about them.
You know what? Cancer isn’t that difficult to conquer. But you can only do so by taking the right action and plucking out the underlying cause of the problem. Chemo and radiation therapy are chosen by some. There is argument about the toxicity and dubious worth of these toxic therapies.
But this is my contribution to the debate: the most deadly thing that is wrong with orthodox medicine is not what it DOES, but what it does not do. My conventional colleagues never seem interested into getting to the bottom of WHY a person gets cancer and fixing that (they don’t really know why, for one thing).
Yet there is always a cause. Cancer is not a loser’s lottery. Cancer has reasons, the same as anything else on God’s Earth. You just have to find the real reason and fix it.
"Cancer Confidential" is a living, breathing work!
It's a work in progress. It needs to be. The whole field is changing so rapidly. You will be receiving regular upgrade issues (always free). Just like software! There will be a version 2.0, 3.0 and so on! All you have to do is download the latest update! Nice!
Cancer Confidential" is your user-friendly map and visitors guide to find your way around and get to the cure you or a loved one so desperately need.
You need to move out of the "battlefield mentality". By that I mean thinking that cancer is the enemy and has to be smashed, burnt and destroyed at all costs. In open warfare like that it's always the battlefield that comes off worst. Think of the pictures of mud and blasted trees in the World War I trenches!
Trouble is, YOUR BODY is the battlefield. You don't want it to end up looking like no-man's land, do you? There is a better, less confrontational way.
I have to keep reminding patients that cancer isn't some alien object dropped by a UFO from outer space. The cancer is YOU. It's part of your body that has gone off the rails and is behaving differently.
If you correct the reasons why this happened, the cancer tissues will go back to normal. It happens a lot. In fact it happens far more than doctors realize and a very powerful recent paper in a peer-reviewed top scientific journal [The Archives of Internal Medicine, Dec 2008] showed conclusively that if doctors left well alone that many cancers would resolve on their own.
I'll tell you the whole story and torrents more amazing and factual secrets that nobody has been telling you. You are being denied the real story... till now!
As you can see, I speak from science, not whimsy and wishful thinking. "Cancer Confidential" is a crystal clear stream or real, workable knowledge. Not an ounce of fluff in it.
Don’t let fear get to you. As I hinted just now, it’s probably easier to cure cancer (in its earlier stages) than it is to cure the common cold. Even when it’s more advanced, there is plenty you can do. Just don’t panic and let doctors railroad you into fast regrettable decisions.
They try and come on to with the “You only have so many weeks-months- etc” lie, just to frighten you. It’s criminal. As super oncologist Dr Mitchell Gaynor points out: 'Those doctors don't even know when they're going to die, so how do they know when you're going to die?’
Sometimes it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy; the patient dies right on cue, because the doctor said that would happen. It’s irresponsible and does not fit with my understanding of what a doctor should be doing. It must stop. The truth is doctors so often get it wrong. Patients abound who are alive five, ten, twenty years after their supposed demise.
What these doctors are saying is THEY don’t know what to do. But that doesn’t mean nobody else does! Duh!
Let me give you an example here;
A cancer alternative doctor was allowed a short list of 11 terminal hospital patients with pancreatic cancer (at diagnosis, this tumor has an average survival time of just 6 weeks). Yet using enzyme therapy, which I explain in detail in this guide, nine (81%) lived one year, 5 lived two years (45%), 4 lived three years (36%) and two have lived longer than four years.
Now compare that with a study published at about the same time, of the newly approved drug Gemcitabine. Of 126 patients with pancreatic cancer not a single patient lived longer than 19 months and yet that was considered a “successful” drug. It’s being sold today as the “proper” treatment for pancreatic cancer.
Well, if faced with disaster, I wouldn’t take Gemcitabine. I’d want the 45- 81% option, not the 0% option, wouldn’t you?
I hope you are getting the picture here! Do not listen to the propaganda about conventional treatment. It comes nowhere near the success rate of certain properly run alternative therapies. Yet they call that science. They claim alternatives are “not scientific” or “not proven”, or even sillier “dangerous”!
Ha! I mean what can be more dangerous than chemo and radiation. The whole reason it works (if ever it does) is they stop JUST SHORT of killing you, while killing the tumor. We call that the toxicity index or therapeutic margin and it really is as crude as I just explained it.
"Of course, it's in the interests of the cancer industry to keep everybody completely misinformed about cancer cures. They can't afford to let you learn the truth about how easy it is to cure cancer. Cancer cures are so commonplace now that you'd have to actually make a conscious effort not to see them."
-Mike Adams, The Health Ranger
If you are involved with cancer, or concerned in any way through family or friends, you need to act. As I said, we are ALL facing this issue at some time or other, so you had better be concerned.
You need this life-saving information. Everyone around you needs it. Cancer Confidential is your easy-to-read, informative guide. It’s written in a personal style by a great communicator, who just happens to be one of the most knowledgeable individuals on Earth about alternative medicine.
It’s loaded with good things, ideas, information you won’t get elsewhere and guidance in deciding what your options are.
I’m known as a good writer who explains things really well, in a way that’s easy for anyone to understand. I run everything past my wife Vivien and she’s a fashion designer, with no scientific training whatever. So don’t worry: Vivien is watching out for your side of things!
Chemo or “natural”?
Let me address that vexed question of whether to opt for chemo or radiation “Just in case”. I understand this dilemma. At times it can be frightening, with the feeling that if you make a wrong choice, that could be the end…
Well, you’ll be pleased to know that I don’t tell you not to go the orthodox route. That’s just irresponsible. You get that from amateur fools on the Internet who just go “Oh My Gawd. You’re doing chemo?” as if it were a dirty vice.
If you choose chemo, good luck.
People do survive who have chemo. Some live the rest of their natural lives. But it is RISKY; there is no getting round that. If it doesn’t work, it screws up your other options, by poisoning out the immune system and other defences you so vitally need to beat off cancer naturally.
So to help you with this awful dilemma, I spend a lot of time telling you what can do to protect yourself against chemo and radiation.
My patients who opted for chemo didn’t even lose their hair! But they did beat the disease. And no, vitamins and other alternatives won’t affect the treatment. That’s just a scare story put about by oncologists who don’t like competition. I will tell you the truth on that story too—direct from the most up-to-date scientific studies.
And that brings me to another point. You’re not buying into a bunch of opinions, fluffy pink thoughts or the “wish” that it would all come out right. I’m not into fairy stories. Everything I write is based on direct experience and years of studying scientific papers.
As I said, I’ve done the grunt work. Now all you have to do is get this manual and read it. You can get a fast education in cancer and lifetime survival from right there in your armchair (better switch the TV off, though).
Amazing recoveries
Doctor’s don’t like stories; not even success stories. They call them “anecdotal reports” and imply it’s some kind of fraud. In fact all medical discoveries begin as anecdotal stories.
Once upon a time (October 16th, 1846, to be precise), dental surgeon William T.G. Morton administered ether to Gilbert Abbott, a printer who had come to the Massachusetts General Hospital for treatment of a vascular tumor in his jaw. The tumor was removed successfully and Abbott felt nothing.
That was the start of anesthetics. One of the defining moments of modern medicine. But it was just an anecdotal case. No scientific double-blind trails there! Doctors just got on with it ever after (in fact Dr. Crawford Williamson Long was first but he didn’t publish till 1848 and my research tells me the VERY first was a Japanese doctor in 1804, operating on breast cancer--but he didn't use ether).
So don’t worry about "just stories". They are great to hear and encouraging. They tell you what can be done. You get something to aim for. Like this story:
"Ethyl had large tumors taking over the breast, sticking out from her skull, and protruding from her body in general. The largest was the one in the left breast which was the size of a big man’s fist.
She did have one crucial thing going for her, Ethyl was a feisty Irish redhead who still had a will to live, and a reason to do so.[After following a naturopathic detox regime] her eyesight returned, at first seeing only outlines, and then details. ... All the tumors had been reabsorbed by her body and were no longer visible, her heart was able to support normal activity such as walking, and non-strenuous household chores, and her diabetes had corrected itself to the point that she no longer required insulin and was able to control her blood sugar with diet."
How did she turn it around and retreat from the very jaws of death? Starting with a modified fast, using wheatgrass, juice etc. excerpted from the book “How And When To Be Your Own Doctor” written by Dr. Isabelle A. Moser.
Now it is my duty to point out that people recover using conventional therapies too. Survival stories abound of those who have been through the horrors or chemotherapy and radiation, feeling sick, vomiting, losing their hair.. It's not nice but it does sometimes work.
So my eReport is NOT about persuading you that you shouldn't do chemo. It is about telling you what your choices are. Because nobody is going to tell you, if you don't find out for yourself. I have assembled masses of information about the many options you have. But it's not overwhelming. I haven't gone into the nitpicky detail, like doses of vitamins.
It's the overall picture, the business plan instead of the detailed invoice, if you like to think of it that way.
At the end of the day, everyone with any disease is just a “story”, an anecdote. He or she is NOT an average, which is all that so-called scientific studies can measure. They can’t turn an individual into a statistic, so the individual gets lost in the masses.
But each story is different and you don’t see that when you only look at statistics. So stories are actually very valuable indeed. They are the heart and soul of enquiry and the very essence of discovery and innovation.
You can be in no doubt what my guide is about, what it covers and what value it has to you. It's simply the finest there is out there. It's one of the VERY FEW written by a recognized, authoritative MD with direct experience of treating cancers with alternative therapies.
I no longer run an office but you can benefit from my vast experience, now, TODAY..
So it’s time to buy "Cancer Confidential" your ultimate eReport on state of the art cures for cancer...

cook with out cooking
Why destroy ALL of the nutrients of your food by cooking it?
All it takes is a few GREAT recipes to make it more enjoyable that cooking. Here are three recipes from my favorite local raw chef... Adam Soble. He is located in Red Bank NJ and also offers preparred meals for pick up and is at the Farmers Market on Sunday in the Galleria Parking lot.
You should definitly check him out.... His food is AMAZING.

Marinated Kale and Tarragon Pesto Squash Pasta
Serves Two
You would never suspect the greens in this dish of being raw. Massaging them by hand really helps them become tender and digestible. I confess, when my daughter insists on having her greens cooked, I sometimes like to trick her with this preparation.
For the Greens:
One bunch of Curler or Dinosaur Kale
3 T. cold pressed extra virgin olive oil
2 T. umeboshi vinegar
1 T. nama shoyu
1 T. dried thyme leaves
1 T. fennel seeds
For the Pasta:
One large Zucchini,
Yellow Squash or Parsnip
One bunch parsley
1/2 cup cold pressed extra virgin olive oil
3 T. raw pine nuts
2 T. tarragon2 lemons, juiced
2 T. Celtic sea salt
Easy! Clean the kale by washing and removing any unwanted stems. Slice the kale into thin strips and place into a bowl with the marinade ingredients. USING YOUR HANDS massage the greens, squeezing handfuls to make the greens tender.
Remove the stem and rough portions from the squash or parsnip. If using a parsnip, peel the skin off. Cut into two pieces about half way up the vegetable. Using a spiralizer, turn the squash into thin pasta strings. Place the parsley leaves, olive oil, pine nuts, tarragon, lemon juice, and salt in a blender or food processor. Grind the mixture into a fine paste. In a bowls combine the pasta and pesto and toss, until the pasta is evenly coated. Place a pile of the kale on a plate and top it with the pesto-covered pasta.
Mushrooms Stuffed with Basil Hemp Seed Ricotta and Guacamole
Serves 2
Mushrooms
10 crimini, shitake, or white button mushrooms
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
2 T. nama shoyu
Juice of one lemon
1 T. agave nectar
Basil Hemp Seed Ricotta
1/4 cup shelled hemp seeds
1 T. umeboshi plum vinegar, or lemon juice
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
2 T. minced fresh basil
1 t. thyme leaves
1/2 t. Celtic sea salt
Simple Guacamole
1 ripe avocado
1 T. minced fresh cilantro
Juice of one lemon
1 t. ground cumin
1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes
3 T. thinly sliced scallions
Remove the stems from the mushrooms. Toss the mushroom caps in the marinade ingredients and set them to the side.Place the ingredients for the basil hemp seed ricotta in a food processor and grind them until the seeds are broken and the mixture is fluffy. Do not process them to long, or the resulting product will be pasty.Remove the meat from the avocado and placed it in a bowl. Add the rest of the guacamole ingredients and mash them together with a fork or potato masher until they reach your desired consistency.Stuff each mushroom cap with a spoonful of ricotta, and top it with a spoonful of guacamole. Enjoy over a bed of spinach or your favorite greens.
Spicy Mango and Avocado Rolls with Red Miso Dressing
Serves 2
Seed Rice
3/4 cup hulled hempseeds
3 T. sesame seeds
2 t. nama shoyu
1 T. mirin or lemon juice
Rolls
1 ripe mango, sliced
1 T. miced ginger
2 t. crushed red pepper flakes (or as little as desired)
2 t. nama shoyu
1 T. sesame oil
1/2 avacado sliced
2 nori sheetsDressing
1 T. miso paste
1/2 t. wasabi powder
1 T. umeboshi vinegar
1 T. sesame oil
3 T. water
2 T. minced scallions
In a food processor grind the rice ingredients until they are moist and chunky, but not creamy or pasty. In a bowl toss the mango with the ginger, red pepper, shoyu, and oil. Smear the rice evenly upon the nori sheets, making sure there is a thin layer on the top edge. Place a layer of mangos and avocados in a horizontal line about 1 inch from the bottom of the sheets. Roll nori over the filling and continue rolling up the nori into a tight cigar shape. With a SHARP knife, cut each roll into 6 pieces. In a small bowl mix the dressing ingredients with a fork, adding the scallions last after all other ingredients have been combines smoothly. Drizzle the dressing onto the rolls, or serve the dressing on the side in an attractive small condiment bowl.

more compost... less work
Creating Good Compost
Compost is made from the breakdown of organic material with nonorganic material like minerals and sand added for texture. The heat generated kills any weed seeds and reduces vegetable matter to finer particles. The resulting “black gold”—a loose, odorless, rich source of nutrients—will greatly improve the quality of your soil and the health of the plants that live in it.

The heat generated kills any weed seeds and reduces vegetable matter to finer particles. The resulting “black gold”—a loose, odorless, rich source of nutrients—will greatly improve the quality of your soil and the health of the plants that live in it.
WHAT TO ADD:
Garden trimmings and weeds
Dry leaves
Vegetable waste
Coffee grounds
Apple cores, banana peels, and citrus rinds
RicePasta (and the sauce if it doesn’t contain meat)
Salad greens (and the dressing if it’s made from vegetable oil)Breads

RicePasta (and the sauce if it doesn’t contain meat)
Salad greens (and the dressing if it’s made from vegetable oil)Breads
WHAT TO BE WARY OF:

PUTTING IT TOGETHER IS EASY
THE PLATFORM
1. Set the posts. Dig four post holes: 5 feet apart for the back and front and 3 3/4 feet apart for the sides. Sink the 6-foot-long 4x4 posts at an appropriate depth for your soil type. (I buried mine 3 feet deep because, on Cape Cod, we have only sand to dig in.) You may want to cement in the posts for added stability.
2. Attach the back and sides. Across the back two posts, screw in three of the 5-foot-long 2x10s, leaving about 1 inch between them to allow for airflow in the bin. On each side, screw in three of the 4-foot-long 2x10s, also leaving a 1-inch space. The front may be left open to allow for wheelbarrow access or can be partially closed in using two of the 5-foot-long 2x10s.
3. Create a divider. Place the two 3 3/4-foot-long 2x10s in an upright position on their longest side, approximately 20 inches in from the left side. Nail the boards in place from the rear. If you have attached the front section, nail the divider in from the front as well. For added support, drive a stake into the ground on either side of the divider.
4. Screw in the support. Attach the 3-foot-long 1x1 support using three 2-inch screws to the right side of the bin, about 5 inches below the top. This piece will support the screen on a slope.
5. Place the top. For the top of the platform, nail down the three 5 1/4-foot-long 2x10s starting from the rear, leaving 1 inch between them.
THE SIFTING SCREEN
1. Make the the frame. Screw together the 2x4s using the 3-inch screws to make a rectangle roughly 2 feet long by 4 feet wide.
2. Affix the screen. Staple hardware cloth to the bottom side of the rectangle to create a screen.
3. Attach a runner to the frame. Screw in the 2-foot-long 1x1 using two 2-inch screws across the bottom of the screen, about 10 inches from one end, to make the runner. This piece rides along the divider and allows the screen to move back and forth.

Here's a space-saving setup
that eliminates the need for turning
by Fred Pappalardo
by Fred Pappalardo
I come from a long line of gardeners. My grandparents, in the ways of the old country, grew most of the fruits and vegetables that reached our table. My grandfather kept a fenced-off area behind the garage known as the manure pile, which was actually two bins where manure, yard trimmings, and vegetable scraps from the kitchen found their way. Fresh stuff was placed into one bin, a month or so later it went into the other bin, and after another month it went into the garden. Because I (or one of my cousins) did most of the shoveling, I learned firsthand how much work making compost could be. I also learned that the final product—clean-smelling, rich, loose material, full of worms—could boost a plant’s production, significantly increasing growth and yield.
Over the years, I’ve experimented with many methods of composting. My grandfather’s two-bin approach worked well but had some problems. Not everything decomposed at the same rate; some material was still in its original form after two months and had to be returned to the bin. Despite my shoveling from bin to bin, the compost was not getting enough air, which led to slow decomposition.
The common way to aerate compost is to turn it over with a shovel. This turning is the dreaded task that keeps many gardeners from composting at all. Drawing from my grandfather’s design, I’ve developed a system that eliminates the need for turning and yields more compost than I can use.
A basic bin made better
About 15 years ago, my town, through its recycling program, made available 50-gallon plastic compost bins (the type with a hole in the top and a door near the bottom) for about $12. The bottom of the bin featured a perforated screen to allow excess moisture to drain out. I decided to try one, with some modifications.
Commercially sold bins often have little ability to aerate the compost. To increase the aeration of my town-issued bin, I used a saber saw to cut staggered slits down the sides. I then built a wooden platform for the bin about 2 feet off the ground—high enough to get my wheelbarrow underneath. Raising the bin and leaving spaces between the boards of the platform allowed for even more airflow. Compost material broke down faster and more completely. I could rake it through the door at the bottom and onto my screen-covered wheelbarrow without having to use a shovel. But the chore of sifting remained.
Most compost needs sifting before being added to the garden, unless you don’t mind distributing whole eggshells, avocado seeds, and watermelon peels among your plants. For a long time, I sifted my compost by placing a framed screen over my wheelbarrow, shoveling compost onto the screen, and shaking the screen with my hands or moving the compost with a hoe. After a few hours, my sore back would force me to stop. There had to be a better way, so I went back to the drawing board.
For the next version, I mounted a framed screen set at a 30-degree angle beneath the platform. I could then rake the compost out of the bin onto the screen. The angle allowed material to roll downward, with smaller particles falling through to the wheelbarrow and larger pieces accumulating at the lower end of the screen. I used this sifting method for three years until a repair to my garage required that my compost bin and platform be moved. I took this opportunity to redesign my setup to make it even more efficient.
Third design's a charm
Tucked discreetly behind the garage but close to the garden, my new and improved composting system is efficient and far less work.
For this design, I placed my modified plastic bin on top of a 4-foot-deep by 5-foot-wide wooden platform, about 3 feet off the ground. With room for two holding areas underneath, I gather material waiting to be composted in one area, while collecting filtered compost in the other. As before, the platform has openings between the boards to allow air to enter the bin’s mesh bottom. I also kept the angled screen that sits underneath the bin; it now moves on a runner that allows it to be pushed out of the way for easy access to the finished compost.When sifting, I rake compost out of the plastic bin and onto the screen. Letting it sit for a few days to dry out makes it easier to sift. With a hoe or small shovel, I tap on the bottom of the screen to create a bounce. Finer material falls into the finished-compost area below, and larger material goes into the other holding area and eventually back into the plastic bin. This built-in screen lets me sift my compost with minimal effort.
The latest system works better than all the methods of composting I’ve tried. The increased aeration plus the location of the bin in a sunny spot speeds up decomposition. The time from garbage in to compost out is about 30 days during the gardening season. The setup is not unsightly, emits virtually no odor, and is maintenance-free. I put about one hour each week into making enough compost for my garden, with plenty left over to share with friends.

psst... quackwatch is quackery.. pass it on!
My letter to the creator of Quackwatch
Dear Stephen Barrett...
Re: Your Quackwatch site and all the other sites you are connected to.
Just as anyone who is seeking information about alternative treatments may stumble upon your "quackwatch" site. If they continue their search they can also find what just a quack you are.
I enjoyed reading the below and I hope you got a chance to as well.
"At trial, under a heated cross-examination by Negrete, Barrett conceded that he was not a Medical Board Certified psychiatrist because he had failed the certification exam. "
"This was a major revelation since Barrett had provided supposed expert testimony as a psychiatrist and had testified in numerous court cases. Barrett also had said that he was a legal expert even though he had no formal legal training."
"The most damning testimony before the jury, under the intense cross-examination by Negrete, was that Barrett had filed similar defamation lawsuits against almost 40 people across the country within the past few years and had not won one single one at trial."
"During the course of his examination, Barrett also had to concede his ties to the AMA, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Food & Drug Administration (FDA)."

get that metal out of your mouth !
IF YOU HAVE AMALGAM FILLINGS IN YOUR MOUTH...
YOU NEED TO READ THIS.
In 1988, the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) DECLARED SCRAP DENTAL AMALGAM HAZARDOUS WASTE
The Most Dangerous Metal There Is Mercury
There are over 225 million people in the United States and Canada with mercury/amalgam fillings. In the majority of cases, the daily amount of mercury released by amalgam fillings will far exceed the acceptable levels for mercury set by all govern-mental regulatory agencies. The mercury released from amalgam fillings is by far the leading source of mercury exposure, six times greater than Mercury from fish and seafood.
Mercury is among the most poisonous, non-radioactive, naturally occurring substances on this planet. It is far more toxic than lead, arsenic, or cadmium and the World Health Organization has stated that there is no known safe level for mercury. Mercury is classified as a neurotoxin. It can readily cross the blood brain barrier, and can seriously impair the health and function of the brain and central nervous system.
Mercury has been associated with a number of emotional and psychological problems, such as memory loss, mood swings, anxiety, and depression. It’s now proven that mental toxicity contributes to chronic fatigue, immune breakdown and hypothyroidism. These are just a few health disorders associated with dental Mercury and yet Mercury amalgam is still widely used in the United States to fill cavities in teeth.
The earliest and most common symptoms resulting from chronic mercury poisoning are neurological. Biological Dentistry providers and other researchers have identified the presence of mercury in some of the most severe diseases and disorders of the brain and central nervous system. Some of the more well-known of these are:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
Fibromyalgia
Multiple Sclerosis, (MS)
Alzheimer's disease
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease)
Parkinson's disease
Trigeminal Neuralgia
But the destruction mercury can cause to the body is not limited to the nervous system. It kills cells (cytotoxic) and can damage the endocrine, immune, cardiovascular, enzymatic, gastrointestinal, reproductive, and urinary systems. It can interfere with, or overload, the natural detoxification pathways of the liver, kidneys, skin, and intestine. Mercury can cause the depletion of the body's supply of many critically important antioxidants, especially the body's number one antioxidant, glutathione. It causes autoimmune disease and stimulates allergic reactions.
In addition, mercury can increase the resistance of harmful intestinal flora, including Candida albicans, to treatment by antibiotics and other drugs. Mercury can also cause a great deal of cellular and tissue damage by generating an excessive amount of harmful free radicals, known to be the major cause of all degenerative diseases. Mercury toxicity has been shown to have destructive contributory effects on kidney function, in cardiovascular disease, neurophchologlocial dysfunction, reproductive disorders, birth defects, arthritis, fatigue, insomnia, moodiness, irritability, memory loss, nausea, diarrhea, gum disease, swollen glands, headaches and many more. Like other heavy metals, Mercury has also been shown to cause damage to the lining of the arteries.
This means that if amalgam fillings are present, your circulatory system is constantly being exposed to the damaging effects of this heavy metal. It’s interesting to note the cardiovascular disease has become widespread only since the 1920’s, about the time of increased use of heavy metals in dental therapy, but long after humans began consuming eggs, meat, milk, butter, and cheese, which are commonly thought to contribute to heart disease, and they do in large amounts.
The use of Mercury fillings is banned or severely curtailed in numerous European countries. According to the German Ministry of Health, “Amalgam is considered a health risk from a medical viewpoint due to the release of Mercury vapor”. But for a long time, the ADA asserted that the Mercury amalgam was a tightly bound chemical complex that would not permit any leakage or release of Mercury.
This was proven wrong in 1985 when studies showed that the air inside the mouth with mercury fillings continually contained elemental Mercury vapor and that chewing substantially increased this vapor level. Amalgams can also erode and corrode with time (ideally they should be replaced after 7-10 years), adding to their toxic output. Studies by the World Health Organization (WHO) show that a single amalgam can release 3-7 micrograms of Mercury per day. A Danish study of random sample of 100 men and 100 women showed that increased blood Mercury levels were related to the presence of more than four amalgam fillings in the teeth.
Since Mercury vapors are continuously released from amalgam fillings, as long as you have Mercury dental fillings, you inhale Mercury vapors 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The resulting level of Mercury in the body has serious health consequences. Research had demonstrated that the body’s tissues, especially the brain, kidney, jaw, lungs, gastrointestinal tract absorb and store Mercury.
Called “Silver” fillings, mercury amalgam filings are actually only 35% Silver, Mercury, a heavy metal, makes up 50% of the mix, with Tin 9% and Copper 6% and trace of Zinc . compromises of the rest of the material used. Every year there are more than 100 million Mercury amalgam fillings put into the mouths of Americans.
HOW MERCURY DISRUPTS THE BODY
Heavy metals such as Mercury act as a free radicals, which are highly reactive, charged particles that can cause damage to body tissues. Mercury can bind to the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of cells, as well as to the cell membranes, distorting them and interfering with normal cell functions. When this happens, the immune system no longer recognized the cell as a part of the body and will attack it.
Because methyl Mercury crosses the blood-brain barrier, it has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Dr. Klinghardt explains nerve endings in the peripheral nervous system constantly scan the environment, engulfing foreign particles and bringing them across the cell membrane for inspection. “These substances ma travel all the way up from the foot to the spinal cord and get presented to the nerve cells there” he says. If the substance is judged to be harmful, the body tries to produce an antitoxin to neutralize it and eliminate from the body. But there are two problems here when it comes to Mercury. “First, as it travels up the nerve, Mercury destroys the body’s mechanism, a substance called tubulin, for transporting along nerves. Burning bridges behind it, as it were, it effectively destroys the nerve. Second, the body has not yet learned how to make an antineurotoxin against Mercury”
Laboratory research has shown that within 24 hours of injecting a minute dose of Mercury into a muscle anywhere in the body (monkeys were used for this study), it is present in the spinal cord and brain. The Mercury is also present in the kidney, lungs, bloodstream, connective tissue, and adrenal and other endocrine glands. In the brain, it tends to congregate in the hypothalamus, which regulates the sympathetic nervous system, and the limbic systems (associated with brain stem), believed to be the organic seta of emotions.
Dr. Klinghardt states “The main devastating effects of Mercury in the nervous system is that is interferes with the energy production inside each cell, the nerve cell is impaired in its ability to detoxify itself ( and excrete the Mercury) and its ability to nurture itself. The cell becomes toxic and dies, or lives in a state of chronic malnutrition. A multitude of illness usually associated with neurological symptoms result”
Mercury and Childhood Health
Mercury can also have a devastating effect on the health of the fetus, nursing babies and the developing child. Mercury can readily cross the placenta and the majority of mercury released from the mother's mercury/amalgam fillings will end up in the fetus. The fetus is much more at risk to the harmful effects of mercury than are adults. In addition, the fetus does not yet have a functional detoxification system or adequate antioxidant protection needed to defend itself against mercury. It can also enter breast milk and is thus passed directly to the vulnerable baby via nursing. This means that a pregnant or nursing mother, having mercury/amalgam fillings, will potentially expose that fetus and the nursing child to very harmful levels of mercury.
The baby or child is also exposed to toxic doses of mercury from the most common childhood vaccinations. Mercury, used as a preservative, makes up at least 50% of each vaccination. Mercury has now been included as a causative factor in autism, which increased dramatically in the later part of the last century; from 2001 to 2002 autism in California increased by 31%.
There is no doubt about the toxicity of mercury and you and your child should not even be in the same room with it, let alone have it in your teeth. (Please note that we do not recommend having amalgam fillings placed or removed during pregnancy or while nursing. Nor do we recommend placing them in anyone's teeth, especially young children.) Mercury/Amalgam Fillings.
Regardless of how many mercury/amalgam fillings you have, or whether or not you now have any obvious symptoms of mercury toxicity, you will have mercury stored in your body. Its ultimate effect will be determined by the above factors, the overall state of your health, and your body's ability to naturally detoxify itself of mercury.
Mercury poisoning from amalgam fillings is considered chronic and will often accumulate faster than the body can detoxify and remove it. It is known to gradually build up in cells, tissues and organs, until symptoms of mercury poisoning are experienced. The only effective way to reverse the damage done to your body by mercury is to remove the source of the poison (amalgam fillings) and then to remove the mercury that has accumulated in your body.
Sanoviv’s approach, effectively addresses mercury toxicity.
Whether its Fibromyalgia Treatment or Multiple Sclerosis Treatment you are searching for, here are some of the elements of our therapy that have been useful in dealing with this problem:
Detoxification – Basic procedure to get rid of whatever toxicants are present in our bodies. All our patients undergo it as part of their treatments.

In the brain, it tends to congregate in the hypothalamus, which regulates the sympathetic nervous system, and the limbic systems (associated with brain stem), believed to be the organic seta of emotions.
Dr. Klinghardt states “The main devastating effects of Mercury in the nervous system is that is interferes with the energy production inside each cell, the nerve cell is impaired in its ability to detoxify itself ( and excrete the Mercury) and its ability to nurture itself. The cell becomes toxic and dies, or lives in a state of chronic malnutrition. A multitude of illness usually associated with neurological symptoms result”
Mercury and Childhood Health
Mercury can also have a devastating effect on the health of the fetus, nursing babies and the developing child. Mercury can readily cross the placenta and the majority of mercury released from the mother's mercury/amalgam fillings will end up in the fetus. The fetus is much more at risk to the harmful effects of mercury than are adults. In addition, the fetus does not yet have a functional detoxification system or adequate antioxidant protection needed to defend itself against mercury. It can also enter breast milk and is thus passed directly to the vulnerable baby via nursing. This means that a pregnant or nursing mother, having mercury/amalgam fillings, will potentially expose that fetus and the nursing child to very harmful levels of mercury.
The baby or child is also exposed to toxic doses of mercury from the most common childhood vaccinations. Mercury, used as a preservative, makes up at least 50% of each vaccination. Mercury has now been included as a causative factor in autism, which increased dramatically in the later part of the last century; from 2001 to 2002 autism in California increased by 31%.
There is no doubt about the toxicity of mercury and you and your child should not even be in the same room with it, let alone have it in your teeth. (Please note that we do not recommend having amalgam fillings placed or removed during pregnancy or while nursing. Nor do we recommend placing them in anyone's teeth, especially young children.) Mercury/Amalgam Fillings.
Regardless of how many mercury/amalgam fillings you have, or whether or not you now have any obvious symptoms of mercury toxicity, you will have mercury stored in your body. Its ultimate effect will be determined by the above factors, the overall state of your health, and your body's ability to naturally detoxify itself of mercury.
Mercury poisoning from amalgam fillings is considered chronic and will often accumulate faster than the body can detoxify and remove it. It is known to gradually build up in cells, tissues and organs, until symptoms of mercury poisoning are experienced. The only effective way to reverse the damage done to your body by mercury is to remove the source of the poison (amalgam fillings) and then to remove the mercury that has accumulated in your body.
