Alzheimer’s disease could be slowed down or even reversed using oxygen therapy, according to a new study.

Researchers say the therapy boosts the functioning of the human brains, and has been shown in animals to fight the build-up of brain plaque that is associated with the disease.

Oxygen therapy could halt or reverse Alzheimer’s, study finds

todayuknews3 hours ago

Alzheimer’s disease could be delayed or even reversed by giving oxygen therapy to patients in pressurised chambers, a study suggests.

Israeli researchers found that elderly patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment – a forerunner to dementia – had improved memory and brain functioning following regular 90-minute sessions in a hyperbaric chamber.

The pressure change allows more oxygen to be dissolved into the tissues and mimics a state of “hypoxia”, or oxygen shortage, which is known to have regenerating effects.

In separate animal studies, the researchers showed the therapy can help clear away sticky amyloid plaques in the brain, which stop cells from communicating and are a major sign of Alzheimer’s.

The team believes that the treatment works by changing the structure of vessels in the brain so that more blood can get through.

Prof Uri Ashery, of the Sackler School of Medicine at Tel Aviv University, said: “We have discovered for the first time that hyperbaric oxygen therapy induces degradation and clearance of pre-existing amyloid plaques and the appearance of newly formed plaques.

“Elderly patients suffering from significant memory loss at baseline revealed an increase in brain blood flow and improvement in cognitive performance, demonstrating hyperbaric oxygen therapy potency to reverse core elements responsible for the development of Alzheimer’s disease.”

Although experts said the findings needed to be replicated in a larger trial and that such therapy may be difficult to offer at scale, they said it could open doors in using oxygen therapy for the treatment of dementia.

“The paper presents an interesting approach, in particular reminding us of the importance of vascular factors in the development not only of vascular dementia but Alzheimer’s disease too,” said Tom Dening, professor of dementia research at Nottingham University.

More than 64,000 people in Ireland suffer from dementia and that figure is expected to more than double in the next 25 years. The prevalence of the disease is decreasing but the population is ageing.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for Alzheimer's disease

Summary:

Researchers have the first PET scan-documented case of improvement in brain metabolism in Alzheimer's disease in a patient treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

Dr. Paul Harch, Clinical Professor and Director of Hyperbaric Medicine at LSU Health New Orleans School of Medicine, and Dr. Edward Fogarty, Chairman of Radiology at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine, report the first PET scan-documented case of improvement in brain metabolism in Alzheimer's disease in a patient treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). 

The authors report the case of a 58-year-old female who had experienced five years of cognitive decline, which began accelerating rapidly. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) suggested Alzheimer's disease. The diagnosis was confirmed by 18Fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) brain imaging, which revealed global and typical metabolic deficits in Alzheimer's.

The patient underwent a total of 40 HBOT treatments -- five days a week over 66 days. Each treatment consisted of 1.15 atmosphere absolute/50 minutes total treatment time. After 21 treatments, the patient reported increased energy and level of activity, better mood and ability to perform daily living activities as well as work crossword puzzles. After 40 treatments, she reported increased memory and concentration, sleep, conversation, appetite, ability to use the computer, more good days (5/7) than bad days, resolved anxiety, and decreased disorientation and frustration. Tremor, deep knee bend, tandem gain, and motor speed were also improved. Repeat 18FDG PET imaging one month post-HBOT showed global 6.5-38% improvement in brain metabolism.

"We demonstrated the largest improvement in brain metabolism of any therapy for Alzheimer's disease," notes Dr. Harch. "HBOT in this patient may be the first treatment not only to halt, but temporarily reverse disease progression in Alzheimer's disease."

The report also contains video imaging, including unique rotating PET 3D Surface Reconstructions, which allow the lay person to easily see the improvements in brain function.

"PET imaging is used around the world as a biomarker in oncology and cardiology to assay responses to therapy," says Dr. Fogarty. "We now have an irrefutable biomarker system that this intervention has promise where no other real hope for recovery of dementia has ever existed before."

The physicians report that two months post-HBOT, the patient felt a recurrence in her symptoms. She was retreated over the next 20 months with 56 HBOTs (total 96) at the same dose, supplemental oxygen, and medications with stability of her symptoms and Folstein Mini-Mental Status exam.

According to the National Institutes of Health, "Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. It is the most common cause of dementia in older adults. Alzheimer's disease is currently ranked as the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, but recent estimates indicate that the disorder may rank third, just behind heart disease and cancer, as a cause of death for older people."

The authors note that four pathological processes have been identified and primary treatment is with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors or the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist memantine, which have been shown to have a positive impact on Alzheimer's disease progression with no significant disease-modifying effects.

HBOT is an epigenetic modulation of gene expression and suppression to treat wounds and disease pathophysiology, particularly inflammation. HBOT targets all four of the pathological processes of AD by affecting the microcirculation; mitochondrial dysfunction, and biogenesis; reducing amyloid burden and tau phosphorylation; controlling oxidative stress; and reducing inflammation.

The first successful HBOT-treated case of Alzheimer's disease was published in 2001. The present case report is the first patient in a series of 11 HBOT-treated patients with Alzheimer's disease whose symptomatic improvement is documented with 18fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18FDG PET). "Our results suggest the possibility of treating Alzheimer's disease long-term with HBOT and pharmacotherapy," concludes Harch.

Oxygen therapy: the treatment behind serviceman's amazing recovery

Brain injured veteran Ben Parkinson can now walk up to two miles a day after starting the controversial hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Cherrill Hicks talks to Prof Philip James, author of a new book on the subject

This post is on Healthwise

By Cherrill Hicks

10:30AM GMT 16 Feb 2015

Paratrooper Ben Parkinson, who lost both legs in Afghanistan, carries the Olympic torch through his home town of Doncaster in 2012 

Few of those who saw him will have forgotten the image of injured paratrooper Ben Parkinson carrying the Olympic torch in 2012, struggling courageously on prosthetic legs through his home town of Doncaster.

Parkinson was just 22 when a bomb blast in Afghanistan left him with devastating injuries in 2006. He lost both legs and suffered extensive damage to his spine, skull, pelvis, arms and brain - injuries he has been battling to overcome ever since.

But last week he started a controversial treatment. He and another injured veteran, Stephen Thomas, are undergoing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, which involves breathing 100% pure oxygen at an atmospheric pressure up to twice as high as normal. The oxygen is delivered by mask in an enclosed chamber run by the Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment Trust, in the grounds of the private Castle Craig Hospital south of Edinburgh. After just one session he says he is already feeling its benefits.

Most specialists would agree that some eight years after the event, no treatment is likely to make a difference to serious brain injury. But Professor Philip James, who is advising on Ben’s treatment, is optimistic.

“Ben has so far made an astonishing recovery and is a very courageous young man,” he says. “But he hasn’t recovered from his head injury. He gets severe fatigue, which I would think will certainly improve. His speech is barely understandable at times but at other times it is better and I would expect that to improve too.”

^{Paratrooper Ben Parkinson, who lost both legs aged just 22, meets Princess Anne}

The course of treatment depends on the individual patient, explains Prof James. It can be extremely arduous and is no quick fix. Ben will probably have 20 one-hour sessions over the next month and then be reviewed.

Prof James, 73, emeritus professor of hyperbaric medicine at the University of Dundee, is one of the UK’s foremost experts in the subject, having spent most of his professional life involved in deep sea diving, where high levels of oxygen are routinely used for brain and spinal cord injuries.

His book, Oxygen and the Brain, which took him 20 years to write, was published at the end of last year . He passionately believes that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), still regarded with suspicion by much of the medical establishment, can be used to improve the treatment of a range of disorders, from traumatic brain injury like Ben’s to multiple sclerosis (MS).

“Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is still regarded as quackery by many doctors because it is not taught in our medical schools” he says. “But it is simply a means of giving more of the oxygen we all breathe. We need to use more oxygen in medical practice and especially in the treatment of brain disorders, which remains in the dark ages.”

There is now overwhelming evidence from advanced imaging of brain injured patients that confirms the brain cells may not be dead but “sleeping” or dormant, rather, and can be revived after injury.

“A second important discovery is that stem cells that form in the brain as we grow in the womb are still present in our brains as adults and retain the ability to grow new nerve cells,” Prof James adds.

His book, which charts our understanding of the importance of oxygen, takes in the adventures of 19th century balloonists, vital work on the nature of gases by the Scottish physiologist J.S. Haldane, the pre-war popularity of compressed air baths, and the opening in Cleveland in 1928 of the renowned “hyperbaric hotel” for patients with a variety of conditions.

^{Prof Philip James, author of the book Oxygen and the Brain}

Oxygen, he points out, is a key component of the natural healing process, although we seldom think of it that way. “The oxygen we breathe normally is involved in repairing and regenerating tissue all the time” he explains.

“However, if damage is too severe, sometimes oxygen in the air isn’t enough. All hyperbaric oxygenation does is use a higher concentration of oxygen.”

The science in his book is complex to say the least, but relieved by some remarkable individual stories, including that of Jessica McClure, the little girl from Texas who hit international headlines when she fell down a disused well in 1987 and whose blackened foot was saved from amputation after undergoing HBOT.

Then there is Randy McCloy, the sole survivor of the 2006 mining disaster in Sago, West Virginia, saved from carbon monoxide poisoning by HBOT.

Prof James is particularly forthright on the subject of carbon monoxide poisoning. It is one of the few conditions for which the NHS accepts hyperbaric oxygen is a valid treatment, yet few NHS hospitals have HBOT facilities, he says.

“This lack of provision means several hundred lives are lost to carbon monoxide poisoning every year,” he adds.Prof James’s involvement in diving medicine began 40 years ago when the discovery of North Sea oil was putting deep sea divers at risk of “the bends” – the painful, often dangerous decompression sickness caused by the change in pressure when a diver emerges from the water.

Divers need to breathe highly pressurised gases to match the high water pressure, but the reduction in this pressure when they return to the water’s surface means harmful gas bubbles may enter the circulation and damage the nervous system. Decompression sickness is the only area in medicine where hyperbaric oxygen therapy is recognised as the standard treatment.

It was Prof James’s work in the area of diver safety that led him to look at other areas where HBOT might be of benefit.

The pathology underlying decompression sickness occurs in many other kinds of brain disorders, he believes, including head injury, stroke and MS, a progressive disorder of the central nervous system. While many doctors consider MS to be an autoimmune disease (where the body’s immune system attacks the body’s own healthy tissues), Prof James is convinced it can be triggered by even minor external trauma. In a paper published by the Lancet in 1982, he argues that just as with the gas bubbles found in decompression sickness, tissue injury can cause microscopic fat droplets, known as emboli, to enter the circulation, damaging the blood-brain barrier and causing inflammation – universally recognised as the hallmark of MS.

^{Ben Parkinson, pictured before his injuries in Afghanistan in 2006}

And just as HBOT can repair the blood-brain barrier in decompression sickness by allowing new blood vessels to grow, he believes it can similarly help in MS and other brain disorders.

“Of course, HBOT cannot cure patients who have established multiple sclerosis – by definition this means they already have multiple areas of scar tissue,” he says. But his research following 705 MS patients for 15 years, undertaken with Dr David Perrins, shows it can stabilise patients and put them in remission. MS is only one of the disorders Prof James believes can be alleviated with HBOT.

Others include head injuries, stroke and in other areas of the body, infections like pneumonia and sepsis, heart attacks, diabetic gangrene, ulcers, pressure sores and diabetic tissue damage.

Much of the rejection of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is rooted in fear he believes – “fear of the physics involved, the equipment, even fear of entering a pressure chamber.”

All oxygen is delivered under varying degrees of pressure, with the level depending on climate and geography. HBOT is just a way of delivering higher concentrations under higher pressure, he says.

“But until oxygen therapy is taught in our medical schools, doctors will continue to be uninformed of the critical importance of oxygen in healing,” he adds.

In recent decades, research has shown that changes in the level of oxygen in cells control thousands of our genes, from those governing the growth of new blood vessels in damaged tissue to the p53 gene that inhibits cancer.

“This has not made headlines,” says Prof James. “But it ranks alongside the discovery of the structure of DNA and is set to define a new era in the treatment of injury and disease.”

What is HBOT?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the delivery of oxygen at a pressure greater than normal, resulting in a higher levels of oxygen dissolving in the patient’s blood plasma.

In the NHS, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is recognised as effective for the following medical emergencies: decompression sickness; gas embolism (gas bubbles in the blood vessels) and acute carbon monoxide positioning, in certain cases.

The NHS says there is insufficient evidence for the routine use of HBOT in other conditions.

However it says it will support the use HBOT for other conditions when these are part of an agreed clinical trial.

Standard oxygen therapy is given through a mask or nasal tubes at normal atmospheric pressure for both acute and chronic conditions

Israeli study finds better cure for brain damage

English.news.cn   2013-11-19 00:42:51

JERUSALEM, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Israeli researchers have found that high levels of oxygen in a pressurized atmosphere can significantly improve chronic brain damage.

The study, carried out by Tel Aviv University and the Assaf Harofeh Medical Center in Tzrifin, showed that patients who sustained brain injuries from 20 years ago improved their cognitive and physical responses after the treatment.

Doctors worldwide treat brain injuries with physical rehabilitation, but its effects have been limited partly because the window of opportunity to repair the brain damage after the injury is short.

According to the Israeli researchers who worked on the study, the advantage of using hyperbaric oxygen, high levels of oxygen in a pressurized cabin, is that the oxygen reaches deeper into the brain tissues, reviving dormant nerve cells and reactivating blood vessels.

Researchers were also positive that the study, published recently in Public Library of Science's journal PLOS One, will help treat other diseases linked to brain injury and aging, such as dementia and Alzheimer's.

"Maybe in the future we'll be able to give anti-aging treatment that will strengthen the functioning of the brain and preserve it for the rest of one's life," Eshel Ben Jacob, a professor from the Tel Aviv University's School of Physics and Astronomy and the Sagol School for Brain Science, told the Jerusalem Post daily.

Reverse Aging With Organic Sulfur

 

Danica Collins

No one ever talks about the health benefits of organic sulfur.

It truly is the forgotten mineral – yet the third most abundant in your body. Only phosphorous and calcium can be found in higher quantities. Did you know that sulfur is present in every living organism?

Even the United States Food and Nutrition Board has neglected sulfur; its last update on organic sulfur’s recommended daily allowance (RDA) was more than twenty years ago.

Why is this a concern? Because your body needs organic sulfur, and you can only get it from food. The over-processing of our foods has led to less and less sulfur in our diets.

In addition, fertilizers and chemically treated water block our absorption of sulfur and destroy sulfur in the soil.

Experts suspect we might not be getting enough of this essential mineral.

Why Do You Need Organic Sulfur?

Increasing your consumption of organic sulfur can ease many age-related issues. Half of the sulfur currently in your body is found in your skin, your muscles and your bones.

The health of your hair and nails are also affected by sulfur since the protein keratin contains an abundance of sulfur. Joints and cartilage rely on sulfur to provide flexibility and the skin uses organic sulfur to maintain elasticity.

Sulfur Deficiency Causes Age-Related Conditions

• Arthritis
• Muscle stiffness
• Wrinkles
• Weak hair and nails
• Neuro-degenerative disease
• Insulin resistance
• Fatigue
• Poor circulation

Other vitamins and minerals in your system rely on sulfur in order to function properly. Organic Sulfur bonds proteins and regulates the activity of enzymes – crucial to metabolic function.

Critical Functions that Depend on Sulfur

• Enables synthesis of glutathione, which scientists now believe is your body’s most crucial antioxidant. Other vitamins and minerals use glutathione to carry out necessary functions. Glutathione cannot be synthesized into your system without sulfur. Your central nervous system is dependent on glutathione to protect against oxidation and the removal of peroxides. Deficiency has been linked to neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
• Oxygen transportation throughout your cells depends on maintaining adequate levels of organic sulfur in your body. Cell repair and new cell growth cannot be accomplished without this mineral.
• Conversion of carbohydrates to energy is critical to metabolism and organ function. Thiamine – vitamin B1 – handles this task but needs sulfur to do it.
• Regulating your blood sugar level requires sulfur. The amino acid chains inside insulin molecules are held together with “bridges” made from sulfur.
• Creating energy through your mitochondria – your cell’s energy factories – is dependent on sulfur and iron.
• Stabilizing your metabolism with methionine requires sulfur. Methionine is an essential amino acid that directly impacts your metabolic functions. The body cannot store methionine and is dependent on dietary sources.
• Synthesizing glutathione requires cysteine – and cysteine requires sulfur in order to be synthesized by the body. Your body doesn’t function correctly unless an adequate amount of nutrients are available to work together.

Organic meats and fish are your best sources of organic sulfur; these food sources are considered “complete” because they have all the amino acids your body needs to make new proteins. Small amounts of dietary sulfur are also found in kale, garlic, onions, legumes and asparagus.

If you want to ensure your body has all the organic sulfur it needs, consider adding the natural mineral MSM (methyl-sulfonyl methane) to your nutrition plan.

Intensive studies are being conducted to test its effectiveness in treating chronic pain, allergies, digestive problems, mood disorders, skin disorders, diabetes and heart disease.

MSM has already been proven to reduce the painful symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Say aloha to cancer (opinion)

Say aloha to cancer (opinion)

Sunday, March 31, 2013

(NaturalNews) The following information is based upon offerings by R.Webster Kehr, Patrick McGean and Ron Neer.

The essential protocol to reverse cancer is to get massive amounts of oxygen inside the cells in the body. By doing this, the cells, both cancerous and non-cancerous, are given energy to make them healthy, and to kill microbes inside the cancer cells, which can revert the cancer cells into normal cells.

Understanding that the organs of the body are made up of cells is essential. So, to make the cells healthy has an ancillary effect in that it will make the organs healthy as well. Making the organs healthy equates to a healthy immune system as well. This protocol also addresses pain and inflammation as well as many other aspects important to a cancer patient.

All cancer patients need to explore other avenues in addition to chemotherapy and radiation, which, by history, has placed a five-year lifespan on a cancer patient for the most part. So, for a newly diagnosed patient, this protocol may be the only one needed, while for advanced cases, other modalities may have to be employed to deal with weakness, etc.

The main part of the protocol is the ingestion of Organic Sulfur Crystals, and in no way MSM powder, tablets, pills, or crystals bastardized with synthetic chemicals, which render it useless. Once the crystal is turned into powder it becomes 85 percent ineffective. When made into pill or tablet form, with the addition of synthetic binding and anti-caking agents, it will never be effective. For example, with the Opti crystal product, they add silicon dioxide to it. They add this to prevent the processing machine from clogging up. In France, one of our Directors's decided to offer our crystals as competition to Opti. Despite being sold at a much higher price he virtually put Opti out of business in France.

The suggested dosage is 1 tablespoon twice a day, 12 hours a part, as the sulfur leaves the body in 12 hours. For those that have been subjected to chemotherapy and radiation, the crystals should be taken three times a day in tablespoons. The crystals can be ingested directly from the tablespoon to the mouth or dissolved in water and drunk. There will be more about water to follow.

True organic sulfur crystals can deal with pain and inflammation and can get massive amounts of oxygen inside the cancer cells. This can kill the microbes inside the cancer cells, which can revert the cancer cells into normal cells. In addition, the sulfur will take the "trash" out of the cell every 12 hours. It will also expel heavy metals, which is important for many cancer patients and most patients with brain disorders. This also means that cancer patients with brain fog may benefit from the treatment as well.

Air is 21 percent oxygen and water is 89 percent oxygen. The oxygen from air gets to the lungs, heart and muscles. But, it is the oxygen from water that needs to get inside the cells both to make the cells healthy, to give them energy, and to kill the microbes inside the cells.

True organic sulfur is what grabs the oxygen from the water and transports the oxygen inside the cells. This produces a surge of oxygen into the cancer cells. Most of the other parts of this protocol are designed to prevent damaging the effectiveness of the sulfur.

There is no way to describe the importance of true organic sulfur in the treatment of cancer, brain disorders, and many other health conditions. Again, every part of the human body is made up of cells and getting sulfur and oxygen inside these cells is critical for all aspects of health.

Part two of the protocol deals with the intake of water. At no time and under no circumstances should you ingest chlorine. Chlorine in water will damage the effectiveness of true organic sulfur by blocking the oxygen from getting inside the cells.

If your community has chlorine in the water supply you should drink the water from the "hot water" side of the faucet. Why? Because the hot water evaporates the chlorine and even if you allow the hot water to get cold or put it in the refrigerator to get colder, it is chlorine free. In doing this, be sure to let the hot water run for a bit to expel any of the cold sided water. A second way to get rid of chlorine is to squeeze the juice from one or two lemons in the cold tap water and let it sit for at least 20 minutes. The lemon juice will dissipate the chlorine.

Also, avoid distilled water as the distilled water may leech minerals out of the body. Purified water is better.

The ideal daily consumption of non-chlorinated water, while taking the crystals, should be as close as possible to one half your body weight in ounces of water.

Bear in mind that the crystals are bitter. I do not understand why everything that works incredibly well is bitter, but that's the way it is. So initially, anyway you can get it down, get it down. After a while you'll be okay with it.

Another way is to put three tablespoons in a liter container, squeeze in a lime or two, add some honey, and fill with water, making sure the crystals have dissolved.

The third part of the protocol is adequate vitamin D.

Ultraviolet light from the sun is very important. As a minimum, the face and bare arms should be in the sunlight for at least half-an-hour each day. And cloudy days, except for when there are thick clouds, counts for this time.

Yes, not everyone lives in "sunshine" states. For you that do not, you can use an Ultraviolet A lamp indoors Ultraviolet B or C lamps are a no-no. You can use "bar lamps" or straight lights that are used for teen-age parties and are available wherever part products are sold and are usually advertised as "black lights". In all cases the lights should be on either side of the extremity or above and should not be used above the neck as it may have an adverse effect on dental amalgams. Also, after use, put a damp cloth on the lighted areas to avoid dehydration.

The fourth part is to take one-half teaspoon of "Real Salt" on a daily basis due to the fact that that product is loaded with a vast number of natural minerals important for the transport of oxygen.

For more information regarding cancer therapies go to www.cancertutor.com.

As a final note, some of the ancillary effects of the crystals, in addition to cancer therapy, are:
Increased enzyme production, increased blood circulation, reduction of joint and muscle inflammation, elimination of free radicals, increased growth of hair and nails, regulate insulin production, alleviate migraines, emphysema, and asthma, reduce hangover time, reduce or eliminate diverticulitis, reduce hypoglycemia, alleviate PMS, promote better kidney function, reverse autism, and more. As if that's not enough!

Live and be well!
Aloha!

EWOT Therapy Strengthens Your Oxygen Supply

Danica Collins | 0 CommentsMore

 

December 2012

 

Did you know…your body’s oxygen supply is cut in half over the course of your lifetime, but you can reverse the process—without a prescription?

As you age, the oxygen supply to the tissues of your body drops to 50% or less than the levels of your youth. This is a serious problem, according Dr. Manfred von Ardenne (a student of Dr. Otto Warburg, best known for his pioneering research on the connection between lack of oxygen and cancer).

That’s because seriously depleted levels of oxygen can be linked to illness, disease, and a shortened life span. In fact, Dr. von Ardenne believes most age-related health problems stem from oxygen deficiency. In his book, Oxygen Multi-Step Therapy, von Ardenne claimed it’s possible to restore your oxygen capacity to what it once was.


The technique Dr. von Ardenne developed to restore oxygen capacity was first called Multi-Step Therapy. It has since become more commonly known as Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT).

Although there are different ways to practice EWOT, the core of Dr. von Ardenne’s therapeutic practice is the breathing of pure oxygen while exercising.
This allows additional oxygen to be absorbed by your red blood cells…blood plasma…and tissue fluids.

Studies show that this re-oxygenation not only slows the aging process, but that it may also have effects equivalent to subtracting several years off your age.

 

The Many Beneficial Effects of EWOT

In Germany, Dr. von Ardenne’s homeland, EWOT has been practiced since the 1970s. Considering the multitude of disease and medical conditions that EWOT can address, it’s truly a shame the rest of the world has been so slow to adopt it.

By filling the body with oxygen-rich blood, EWOT accomplishes some truly remarkable changes, such as…

• Clearing up vision problems
• Ameliorating cognitive decline
• Resolving balance problems
• Easing joint pain
• Balancing out mood issues
• Preventing dizzy spells
• Boosting the immune system

 

Some Advice on Trying EWOT

Experts say that you can practice the EWOT technique in your living room, if you like. All you need is pure oxygen, which is available either from a bottled oxygen source (for which you will need a prescription) or from an oxygen concentrator (these can be found from a number of reputable sources for a relatively low cost).

Peter M. Zeischegg, an alternative holistic medicine expert, online health coach, and board-certified chiropractic neurologist known to his patients and online clients as “Dr. Z,” has advice for when you first try EWOT.

He says, “Please use common sense—if you feel lightheaded or faint, stop and rest.”

Cancer treatment --- some provoking thoughts

.
This article is from an email I received.
The authenticity and origin of it cannot be ascertained or verified.
Some of you may have come across it as well..

Start of article:

Written by a doctor who suffers from cancer and he uses alternative rather than conventional medicine that involves chemo etc.

Good to share with family and friends.

Subject: Cancer treatment is about making money.....provoking thoughts

I posted this article, which may have some provoking thoughts:

The below is absolutely 100% true and as a doctor I have been telling
people this for 15 years now. No one wants to listen. Folks need to wake
up. Cancer treatment is about making money. It is a 120 billion dollar a
year industry in the United States alone and estimated to be a 600 billion
dollar a year industry worldwide.

A successful cancer case according to the American Cancer Society and the
American College of Oncology and Hematology means that the person survives
for 5 years. Both the American Cancer Society and the American College of
Oncology and Hematology admit that a person is likely to survive cancer for
7 to 10 years even if they do absolutely NOTHING. Of course, only the
doctors get those magazines - not you, the cancer patient.

Alternative medicine's track record of curing cancer is 10 times higher
than that of conventional medicine. Note that I say CURE.

Remember another thing. A TUMOR is just a symptom. It is not the cause of
cancer.

Science is cause and effect. Remove the cause and the effect disappears.

I am in my third battle with cancer right now. I have not done any
chemotherapy or radiation or surgery for any of my bouts with cancer. I
survived leukemia, I survived Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and now I have
Glioblastoma which is supposedly an incurable form of brain cancer. I was
given two months to live 5 months ago.

I have been using Chinese herbs, high doses of vitamin C, acupuncture,
chiropractic, homeopathy and nutritional changes. Yes, at first it got
worse. It had metastasized to my lymph nodes, my lungs and my bones. As of
this week, I am happy to say that there is no evidence now of any cancer in
my lymph system or my bones. I had 6 tumors in my lungs, now there are only
two. The tumors in my brain have shrunken tremendously. I never did any of
their chemo, radiation or surgery.

Here is a very interesting statistic that you can only have access to by
being a doctor. Every year more than 1,000 doctors oncologists (cancer
doctors) are diagnosed with cancer. Less than 10% of them choose to do the
treatment that they have been giving to their patients. Sort of like the
fact that less than 25% of all pediatricians vaccinate their own children
because of the fact that the risk of sudden death or serious side effects
from the vaccination is higher than the risk of catching the disease one is
being vaccinated for. This is not bullshit people - it is truth.

Medicine is about money, not about your health and the system traps people,
especially the elderly, disabled and poor into a deadly treatment regime
that puts them in an early grave. Meanwhile, all the jet set billionaires
are flying off to Europe and paying big bucks for alternative treatments
and getting cured.

Does alternative medicine work all the time? No. Of course not. Nothing
works all the time. But there is a reason for that. You don't die until
it's your time to die. Nothing can make you live longer than that time.

However quality of life comes into play. Those cancer patients who use
alternative therapies for their cancer, yet still die from the illness,
suffer a much higher quality of life. They die able to spend time with
their families and even recognize their family members. They don't become
emaciated like those who do chemotherapy or radiation do and rarely is a
person who goes under the treatment of chemotherapy able to recognize
anyone for the last few days of their lives. Their bodies become ravaged to
the point that you can't even recognize them either. They suffer at a much
much higher rate and they have one let down after another as doctors tell
them, ahhh - it's looking good, only to tell them on the next visit it's
looking worse, you need more chemo and radiation.

What is criminal about this is that YOUR DOCTORS KNOW THIS SHIT.

I took an oath as a physician. I have always followed it. That has
certainly not made me successful financially as a doctor because I have
consistently refused to go along with conventional medicine's bullshit.

Read the below carefully. It may indeed make a difference in your life.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY',
BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the
standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients
that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests
are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented
from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has nutritional deficiencies. These could be
due to genetic, but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet to eat more adequately and
healthy, 4-5 times/day and by including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys
rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can
cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues
and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However
prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune
system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds
of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and
difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods
it needs to multiply.

*CANCER CELLS FEED ON:-

(a) Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is
harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses , but only in very
small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color Better alternative
is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

(b) Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer
feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells
are being starved

(c) Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish,
and a little other meat, like chicken. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones
and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

(d) A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits
help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including
beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to
cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live
enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including
bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at
temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C)..

(e) Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine Green tea is a better alternative and
has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known
toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat
remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it
frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer
cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants,
vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells..
Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death,
the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the
cancer warrior be a survivor Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful
and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing
help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed
to destroy cancer cells.

(1) No plastic containers in micro.

(2) No water bottles in freezer.

(3) No plastic wrap in microwave..

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at
Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer.

Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.

Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard.

He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin.

So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Please share this with your whole email list........................

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods
to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually
melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life.
