This is such widescale good news, I have no hesitation in just re-posting Dr Rowen’s wonderful and exciting missive. I’m sure he has no issues with me helping tell the world! Read it! You’ll see why… Letter from an integrative medicine cancer specialist Well, I had a double blessing this weekend. The first was the indescribable joy of my daughter’s wedding to a wonderful man. Of course, that’s not what this email is about, though. It’s the second wonderful news, which I only learned, on the way home from the wedding. Many of you know that the widow of a cancer patient I saw about 2 years ago filed a complaint against my license. The patient was stage 4 colon cancer with considerable involvement in his liver and high liver enzymes. His oncologists, who told him that chemo would be worthless, had written him off. I did NOT promise anything at all, except to do the best I could to assist his immune system and hopefully improve the quality of his life. He was actually referred to me for IV vitamin C and integrative therapies. The couple specifically requested these from me. And, the wife signed all the informed consents as witness to her husband! In a best-case scenario, he only had months to live. The complaint alleged that I “abandoned” the patient, and provided “negligent care” leading to his death, more than 5 months after seeing me. Actually, the medical record showed that the wife called to cancel the appointment for her husband the day we (my wife and I) returned from a heavily announced trip to India. Why? Because they wanted to go to a place that took insurance. We don’t take insurance. And, they knew we were going to India even before they made the first appointment. It was provided to them in writing. During his three weeks with us, his physical condition improved. He got the IV-C while we were away, self-administered from intense training before we left.

Well, I don’t have to beat this to death. We all know drugs are pretty iffy, don’t we? Those of you new to my list may not be familiar with my saying: almost all drugs poison something. For example, pain killers poison part of the nervous system. But the real issue, of course, is poisoning […]

While the crackpots and crooks in conventional medicine tell as that antioxidants, especially vitamins C and E, selenium and beta-carotenes, are dangerous and “cause” cancer, here’s a refreshing study that shows without question they are not, do not, and may well reduce the incidence of deadly pancreatic cancer by TWO THIRDS. Pancreatic cancer kills more than 250,000 people worldwide each year. Only 3 percent of people diagnosed with the disease live beyond five years. So anything with such a sensational effect is welcome. Genes, smoking and type 2 diabetes are all risk factors, but diet is believed to play a role as well. It’s true that conventional researchers are getting on the trail of diet as a cause of cancer. But they still don’t really get it. They are thinking in terms of factors in the diet which are “carcinogenic” (cancer causing). It’s what is NOT in the diet that’s carcinogenic! If there are no decent nutrients in the junk diet, how can the body have a healthy defence system and ward off what is really quite a common challenge to the body. Cancer cells, we know, are everywhere but easily mopped up on a daily basis by the immune system. Plus we know for sure that antioxidants prevent cancer and help in the fight against it, once established.

An international team of scientists led by Gary Goldberg, PhD, of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-School of Osteopathic Medicine (UMDNJ-SOM), has found that a protein from the seeds of a plant used for centuries in traditional medicines may be able to halt the spread of melanoma, a lethal form of skin cancer. On average, melanoma kills one person nearly every hour in the USA, and many more in other countries. The American Cancer Society, with its usual breathtaking lies, claims the overall 5-year survival rate for melanoma is 91%. For localized melanoma, the 5-year survival rate is 98%. Now there may be a solution; a very simple solution at that. In fact, this new remedy kills or blocks the growth of many other cancers too.

But That’s Not All… (part 1 of this article is here if you missed it…) Coffee and hot tea consumption were found to be protective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).[35] While it remains unclear whether the beverages have systemic antimicrobial activity, study participants who reported any consumption of either were approximately half as likely to have MRSA in their nasal passages. The Downside I already mentioned the negative effect on blood pressure and Huntington’s chorea. There are more negatives, notably the tendency of caffeine to cause or worsen anxiety, insomnia, and tremor and potentially elevate glaucoma risk.[38] Also, given the potential severity of symptoms, caffeine withdrawal syndrome is under consideration for inclusion in the forthcoming DSM-5.[39] Am I Saying Start Drinking Coffee?

Caffeine gets a hard rap sometimes; and coffee isn’t supposed to be a health food! However, facts is facts (don’t write to me about my grammar, thank you). There is a large bunch of studies, which keeps growing, showing coffee to have benefits or protect from a wide variety of illnesses, from Alzheimer’s to cancer. Or more exactly, coffee-drinkers benefit and seem to suffer less than tea or juice only drinkers. So it isn’t necessarily cause and effect—it might mean coffee drinkers have some other health benefit, that leads them to drink more coffee than average. So coffee drinkers do well, but not because they drink coffee. That’s an important caveat. That said, here we go:

I’m back from the UK and promised to start up regular workshops for those of you in the New Thought Horizons program. I’m also extending this invitation to those who joined me as members in the recent Science Of Being And Consciousness series. If you read my email of yesterday, you’ll realize that–due to technical […]
