It’s a horrifying comment on our drug-sodden society that newborn babies are coming into the world addicted. In fact they get withdrawal symptoms, as soon as mother’s blood supply from the placenta is shut off. No, I’m not just talking irresponsible, criminal mothers, who take recreation drugs while pregnant (lots of that) but I’m also […] The post Newborn Baby Drug Addicts appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

The “choking game”, deliberately cutting off blood flow to the brain in order to achieve a thrill, has been played by nearly one in seven students who were surveyed at a Texas university, a new study finds. This so-called ‘game’ is played individually or in groups and is done by choking oneself or others, applying […]

Here’s another “I Told ‘Em!” One of those things where I was ahead of current thinking by 20 -30 years or so. As long ago as 1983 I was saying: if fiber was good for us, we could all get healthy by chopping up the carpets and eating those. I never accepted the story whole. Now, decades later, it seems there is proof I am right! A new study has shown that a high-fiber diet does not lower a person’s risk of diverticulosis, but a low-fiber diet might, according to a new study published in the February 2012 issue of the journal Gastroenterology. That contradicts what doctors have believed for decades. Of course, what really does the good it the nutrients present in whole food in its natural state. Fiber is just an incidental. That’s only logical. The definition of fiber is stringy stuff that does NOT get digested. It affects the appearance of our stools but has no nutrient value. Researchers at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine analyzed data from more than 2,100 patients, aged 30 to 80, who underwent outpatient colonoscopy between 1998 and 2010. The patients were interviewed about their diet, bowel movements and level of physical activity. Patients with the lowest fiber intake were 30 percent less likely to develop diverticulosis than those with the highest intake! Moreover, they also found that constipation was not a risk factor, which would surprise many.

Having just had a lousy chest infection, I finally got rid of it by taking honey. Manuka honey, actually. Don’t be fooled by the supermarket trash, which is mostly from China and is dyed sugar and water (no bees in sight!). But real honey has great health properties. I wrote a section about its ability to heal MRSA wounds in my comprehensive guide to antibiotic alternatives: How To Survive In A World Without Antibiotics (antibiotics are done) In addition to burns, raw honey has been used effectively in the treatment of abrasions, acne, amputations, bacterial infections (including MRSA, as I said), eczema, gunshot wounds, leg ulcers, puncture wounds, psoriasis, septic wounds, and surgical wounds. For abscesses or deep wounds that have been cleaned, honey can be packed into the cavity, after which an adhesive dressing is applied Honey is a magnificent wound healer. Ancient Ayurvedic (Indian) medical practitioners used honey as dressing aids to purify sores and promote wound healing.1 The Egyptian Edwin Smith Papyrus dating to 1500 B.C. recommended the use of honey in the treatment of burns. During WWI, Chinese and Russian soldiers used honey as a wound-healing agent.2 According to an article recently published in the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology3, honey provides a moist healing environment, deodorizes, rapidly clears infection, and reduces inflammation, edema and exudation (oozing).

Even mild dehydration may affect our moods and ability to concentrate. In a new study of 25 healthy women, mild dehydration dampened moods, increased fatigue, and led to headaches. The women in the study had an average age of 23. They were not superbly fit, nor couch potatoes. Each woman was tested after treadmill exercise and again after treadmill exercise plus a diuretic pill, which was designed to force dehydration (urine loss). The women were given a battery of tests measuring their concentration, memory, and mood when they were dehydrated and when they were not. Overall, women’s mental ability was not affected by mild dehydration. But they did feel the tasks were more difficult. They reported more fatigue and felt down. This was similar to earlier results from the same researchers in a dehydration study on men.

If you didn’t get the first part of the discussion on this topic, you can read about it here: Cancer is not an apricot deficiency This article by me provoked a lot of response. It’s amazing how many people want to defend this Laetrile (amygdalin) hokum. One colleague even quoted research by Dr. Kanematsu Sugiura, the scientist who performed the requested tests at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. He claimed that laetrile inhibited secondary tumors in mice, though it did not destroy the primary tumors. He repeated the experiment several times with the same results (he says). However, three other researchers were unable to confirm Sugiura’s results. While these uncontrolled and inconclusive results were considered too preliminary to publish, they were leaked to laetrile advocates, resulting in significant public uproar that here was an amazing new cancer “cure” being suppressed. From that day forward, I don’t anybody in alternative medicine (except me!) followed along. It was a proven deal, that laetrile worked. Well, it wasn’t. What’s more the basic requirements of science were not met. There has to be reproducibility. If others can’t copy what you did, chances are, you are WRONG.

I’m constantly surprised by how little knowledge of geopathic stress is passed around. It is a significant factor in the genesis of cancer, as I explained in my book “Cancer Research Secrets“. Recently, I received a note from correspondent  David Reecher, director of the Aquifers and Health Institute, which I decided to share. Dear Dr. Scott-Mumby, I’m Director for “Aquifers and Health Institute”; a non-profit organization created solely for the purpose of making people aware of geopathic stress and the harmful effects it causes if exposed for long-periods of time, over and over again. As you mention on page 181 of your Cancer Research Secrets, “location can be a factor in disease”. Indeed it can. And that is what drives us each and every day towards making this knowledge public. Just knowing people are getting sick simply because they, or someone they know, positioned their bed or office chair over a location that causes stress (stressor) to the body without being aware of its existence, is our motivation. I’ve known of you for many years, as you provided the forward to Kathe Bachler’s great book “Earth Radiation”. She was a great pioneer in this field. I visited Ms. Bachler in her home town of Abtenau, Austria a few years back. I believe she had just turned 85 around that time. I didn’t speak German nor did she speak English, but we had excellent translators that made the trip very beneficial for us both. Thanks to the early pioneers like Kathe Bachler, we know a lot more about what causes geopathic stress today. To keep the subject as simple and scientific as possible, we are only focusing on geopathic stress created by the pressure and friction of moving groundwater inside an aquifer. Scientifically, it is already known by the EPA that under the right conditions, groundwater can and does generate electric fields.
