The Nasty Blunt Truth about Modern Medicine and Cancer! “Modern Medicine’s Secret Ph Cure”
Any American who was ever treated for cancer by modern medicine has been ripped off, are you one of them? There are many someones right now screaming their lungs out because they are dying of a cancerous disease and there is no pain killer strong enough to help them. But guess what; not only are they dying a horrible death, they are being deceived by the institutions that are supposed to help them? Those institutions who found the cure for cancer are withholding it from those who need it. That is right; they would rather see you die than apply the cure that they have known about for years.
Here are a couple of direct hits between the eyes of those institutions. The real search for a cancer cure has been over for years. Anyone who asks for money to help find the cure for cancer is a fool, a charlatan or a liar. Modern medicine long ago cured cancer but told no one what they did. You heard me right, modern medicine found the cure for all cancers years ago. And any doctor who says that statement is wrong is either a total fool who should not hold a doctorate degree or a complete liar.
Read this next paragraph and you will see why I would make so many bold statements about one of the biggest most respected institutions in the world. This next paragraph says it all and cannot be denied, it is the absolute smoking gun.
Dr. Otto Warburg (doctorate degrees in both chemistry and medicine) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1931 for the discovery that, unlike healthy cells in the human body, cancer cells do not “breathe” oxygen (and except for Adolf Hitler would have been awarded a second Nobel Prize for more work in the same area of research). Cancer cells are anaerobic. In other words, they function with no oxygen present. In fact, cancer cells cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen.
Dr. Warburg, in his Nobel Prize winning study, illustrated the environment of the cancer cell. A normal healthy cell undergoes an adverse change when it can no longer receive oxygen to convert glucose into energy. In the absence of oxygen, the cell reverts to a primal nutritional program to nourish itself by converting glucose through the process of fermentation. The lactic acid produced by fermentation lowers the cell pH (acid/alkaline balance) and destroys the ability of DNA and RNA to control cell division. The cancer cells then begin to multiply. The lactic acid simultaneously causes severe local pain as it destroys cell enzymes. Cancer appears as a rapidly growing external cell covering, with a core of dead cells.
Simply put, Dr. Warburg won the Nobel Prize for showing that cancer thrives in an anaerobic (without oxygen), or acidic condition. In other words, the main cause for cancer is acidity of the human body caused by the individual eating too many acid foods. This acid environment restricts the oxygen to cells and leads to cancer.
This discovery of Dr. Warburg’s leads us directly to the cure for cancer. The cure for cancer is to undo this acidic environment by removing the source of the problem. Remove the acid environment (too many acid foods and acidic toxic waste) that the cancer thrives in. This new environment with its balance between acid and alkali brings in oxygen destroying the cancer cells.
Sounds too simple, you might say. That’s what I said as I fought prostate cancer. I had some doubts, but it worked. The cleaner I got my body through detoxing, cleansing and lifestyle changes, the faster my acid and alkali balanced. My symptoms were gone in 3 months and I got my health back. A year later I was cancer free.
You might also be suspicious because this discovery was made in 1931. Well the guidelines were just as tough then to get past the Nobel committee as they are now. The experiments that lead Dr. Warburg to his discovery were tested and retested by other scientists who came up with the same conclusions. Those same conclusions still stand today ready to be tested if someone wants to disprove his findings but no one comes forward because his findings are the truth.
Many experts in the health field see this Nobel Prize work of Dr. Warburg’s as the greatest medical discovery of all time. First, by curing cancer it will save millions upon millions of lives across the world. But, that is only the beginning because if you adjust your diet this way you also cure all the autoimmune diseases of which there are over 60 at this point. You can also add in total immunity to all germs and viruses because they, like cancer, cannot live in an environment where there is plenty of oxygen and a strong immune system.
I have even seen some deride and belittle Dr. Warburg for living the lifestyle that he found would keep a person cancer free. These are the same small minds that would keep you on their path of disease and treatment for the rest of your life. When Dr. Warburg came up against small minds like these he was known to quote an aphorism he attributed to physicist Max Planck “that science doesn’t progress because scientists change their minds, but rather because scientists attached to erroneous views die, and are replaced with a new generation that is familiar with the truth”. Dr. Warburg finished one of his most famous speeches with the following statement:”… nobody today can say that one does not know what cancer and its prime cause is. On the contrary, there is no disease whose prime cause is better known, so that today ignorance is no longer an excuse that one cannot do more about prevention.”
How to Balance Your Ph to Kill Cancer and Stay Healthy
Some of the following information was extracted from my article titled “I Am An Omnivore, We Are All Omnivores”
Why isn’t our ph balanced by what we eat, what is wrong with the American diet? In America, as in most countries, we eat typically for entertainment not for nutrition. We do not eat the food that our body is designed to thrive on. We eat like someone who buys a car, puts regular unleaded gas in the tank when the owner’s manual says premium only. This is a guarantee that over time you will get ill and find yourself on prescription medication. By the time you are middle-aged you will have a chronic debilitating disease and be on the slippery slope to a hospital, and then a rest home.
There is one very essential ingredient missing from the American diet that can balance our ph. We do not eat enough raw produce which is a basic fundamental law of human nutrition. Produce is where we get the alkaline that neutralizes the acid foods that we eat. Acid foods are meat, dairy, beans and grains and their products such as bread. These acid foods must be neutralized by the alkaline foods. The failure to do so leads to disease. Well we do not do that in America and you can see the disastrous results of breaking this fundamental law everywhere. America is sick because we have gotten too far away from the human body’s basic nutritional root, raw produce, and it is killing us.
As humans evolved, we adapted to a certain style of eating because of environmental pressures. For thousands upon thousands of years our main pressure was finding enough food to keep ourselves and our family mates alive. If you visualize yourself in their position, the grocery store was the environment they lived in. To survive you must know every source of food available, every eatable plant, fruit, seed, and animal to keep yourself and family fed. We learned to take advantage of nature by being opportunists to increase our chances to find the nutrition we needed. We studied nature via the great teacher, survival.
If you put yourself in their position, where hunting did not evolve for thousands of years in the future, the pressure of hunger drives you to gather those things that cannot get away from you. Plants are everywhere and it does not take long to figure out which are edible and which are not. One clue is to watch other animals eat and you soon discover that there is a storehouse of food right in front of you.
There was no specific amount of this meat and that seed, vegetable or fruit that we turned to. We gathered what we could, but I think it’s easy to say that we always turned to those green plants growing and available in so many places. If we could find nothing else, we could always find something green to fill at least some of that empty place in our gut.
You might be saying right now that this does not sound very nutritious. Well guess what, nutritional science has proven that the most densely nutritious food on the planet is not meat or dairy. The most densely nutritious food on planet earth are the green foods.
Our digestion evolved around this style of eating, lots of greens, grains, seeds and raw things with meat when the opportunity arose. So we are what is called an omnivore by some scientists, but we are a specialized type of omnivore. We eat meat, but that is not a strong side for us. Even our stomach acid matches an herbivore, 4 to 5 ph (true omnivores and carnivores have a ph of 1, very acidic). A bear is an omnivore, but unlike us has the built-in weapons to kill other animals and eat them. Here are other omnivores: possums, pigs, chimpanzees, rats, chickens, crows, piranhas and turtles.
If you read carefully what I just said, you will notice that we are an animal who is not a true meat eater. We can, but our body is built to only tolerate a small amount daily. If we were an omnivore who eats more meat than other foods we would have those weapons to kill animals and stomach acid to digest them, and we would sweat through our tongue not our skin. We would also eat them raw, skin, hair, bones, guts and all, like all other omnivores. Let me know if you ever see a bear bring down a deer, gut it, skin it and cook it over a fire. Eating that way would make any omnivore sick in a short amount of time.
If you are like most Americans you do not eat much raw, alkali foods, in one day. Let’s just say that for breakfast today you had 2 eggs, 3 pieces of bacon, 2 slices of toast, with coffee. You could call this a very typical breakfast for many Americans. At lunch you stopped for a hamburger, fries and a coke. For supper that night at home, you had 2 pork chops, cooked green beans, mashed potatoes with gravy and a salad with dressing plus a slice of apple pie for desert.
Now, let’s add up this days food to discover why it is so poor and will make you fat and sick. Out of all of that food the raw, alkali containing food was the smallest amount. None at breakfast, some at lunch, the onion, tomato and lettuce in the burger qualified. The salad with dinner was raw and qualified but we cannot count green beans and mashed potatoes because they were cooked, and so were the apples in the pie. Cooking food destroys almost all nutritional value. So, out of all of that food, there was only a small amount with any food value. The rest of the food that day was cooked acidic food which is pretty much worthless. Here is how worthless. If you have ever owned a composter they will tell you on the directions never put cooked food in the composter it is worthless.
So if you want to get your ph balanced and you want to get the most from nutrition and avoid disease, move to lots of live produce with each meal. My suggestion is to eat nothing but fruit at breakfast like a fruit smoothie. At lunch and dinner what I do is measure at least one pound of raw vegetables as a salad to go with each meal like lettuce, cucumber, broccoli, squash, tomato, spinach, avocado etc. You may think this is a lot of produce, that you could never eat that much. You can easily eat that much and more. My friend Jackie, who is 5? 1?, ate a pound for lunch and a pound and a half for supper every day and lost 40 pounds of excess weight over a 3 month period. She told me she will never go back to her old style of eating that she feels and looks to good. Eat meat if you like; do not eat any refined foods, of course, such as sugar, white rice, white bread etc.
Adding lots of produce to your lifestyle this way will bring positive changes in your health. One thing I noticed when I ate this way is my stomach always feels very comfortable. Even if I overeat it feels good.
To assist you in balancing your ph bring in a high quality super green food. They have the produce in a concentrated alkali form. Add them to your foods such as entrees, salads and drinks to enhance the nutrition and increase digestion and assimilation of all your food. Also take them with you when you are eating out or traveling. They can also replace your multi-vitamin because they are loaded with real food vitamins your body can absorb naturally.
Almost everyone is taking vitamin supplements or some kind of fortified drink or another. Most Vitamins on the market are a sham they do not come from food and so cannot be assimilated by humans. The law of nature that we cannot break is “that if it has not come to us through a living plant we cannot get any nutrition from it”. No matter what the manufacturer says you can only assimilate food grown or whole food vitamins. These whole food vitamins can also help you balance your body’s ph.
How Can I Check My Ph to See If the Changes I Made Are Working?
The most accurate method I have found for checking your ph is First AM, Last PM urine method. Buy yourself some ph litmus testing strips that you can find in almost any drug or health food store. The litmus paper strips change color when they are dipped in liquid. Compare the color the paper turns to the test color chart that comes with the test kit. The technique for finding your ph is very simple, when you first get up in the morning test you urine the first time you urinate. The last time you urinate before you go to bed test your urine then. Do this for a full seven days keeping a list of the numbers you found. At the end of seven days total up the numbers and divide by 7 to get your average ph for the seven days.
How would you like to be treated in the hospital of a country that was ranked number 24 by the World Health Organization (WHO). Well guess what, you are living in that country, as the USA is ranked number 24 by the W.H.O. Isn’t that interesting that for years and years we were always number 1 and lead the word when it came to medicine. I’ll give you another surprise. As we all know heart disease is the number one killer of Americans, and everyone also knows that cancer is the number two killer of Americans. Guess what is the number three killer of us Americans my friends? It is the American Medical System itself. That is the number three killer of the American people.
In closing I would like to say that one of the most important things I was told by the Naturopathic Doctor who started me on this path was “You must take charge of your own health you cannot leave it up to someone else.”
Any American who was ever treated for cancer by modern medicine has been ripped off, are you one of them? There are many someones right now screaming their lungs out because they are dying of a cancerous disease and there is no pain killer strong enough to help them.

The Influence of the Duodenum on Health
by admin on Nov.08, 2009, under Nutrition
This is the third article in a five part series devoted to digestion where we have been following a nutritionally poor meal, typical of America, from the mouth to the esophagus to the stomach. We have seen that the food enters the mouth where enzymes are added via sublingual glands. The meal then moves through the esophagus where it is warmed, and then to the stomach where pre-digestion takes place depending on the nutritional value of the meal (does the meal have enzymes to digest protein, fats and carbohydrates). Then stomach acid and a strong protein digesting enzyme are added to complete the stomachs processing of this meal. Now we will follow this nutritionally poor meal from the stomach into the duodenum.
The Function of the Duodenum
The chyme (digested food from stomach the consistency of a milk shake) is slowly transported from the pylorus (a valve at the end portion of the stomach) through the pyloric sphincter into the first part of the small intestine called the duodenum where further digestion occurs.
The inside wall of the duodenum has a smooth surface like the skin on your face. It is at this point that the acidic chyme must be alkalized so the assimilation of this nutrient filled liquid is as complete as possible. In addition, this alkalization is very important so that the acid from the stomach is neutralized and will not burn the walls of the small intestine.
The duodenum, an eight to nine inch long chamber is where more chemicals of digestion are added. The Ampule of Papilla is located in the duodenum wall. This is an opening where bile from the gallbladder, and enzymes and bicarbonate from the pancreas enter the duodenum. They combine with the chyme to begin the final part of digestion in the small intestines. Enzymes are also excreted through the walls of the duodenum to assist with this digestion.
The Average American Meal and what happens at the Duodenum
Your body is aware of what you have eaten (there are sensors in the duodenum) and it calls on your liver, gallbladder, pancreas and other avenues of digestive chemicals to assist in the breakdown and assimilation of nutrients and protection of the digestive tract. Your body expects you to bring in live food rich in enzymes (uncooked foods such as produce) to assist in this digestive process.
Here at the duodenum is where the body has a chance to recover from any mistakes made at your mouth. But without enough raw food to supply the enzymes and alkaline that was needed to create a balanced meal no recovery will take place. A meal totally unprepared will continue through the duodenum to the small intestine where impossible assimilation is undertaken. From this point on the damage to your body takes place over and over bringing disease.
If you do not bring in enough live enzymes with the food you have eaten you may expect to have acid indigestion (undigested food), acid reflux, ulcers and constipation all caused by food improperly prepared at your mouth (no live enzymes). As this improperly prepared food enters the duodenum, your digestive awareness will call on the pancreas and gallbladder to do the job you did not do. Your pancreas and gallbladder will then strain to prepare this acidic chyme for release into the small intestine. Allow this to happen enough times and you will get sick.
Constantly releasing acidic unprepared chyme from the duodenum to the small intestine, can lead to such diseases as Crohn’s disease, inflammatory bowel disease and leaky gut. These in turn can lead to diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, muscular dystrophy, etc.

Food and a Healthy Diet

Each living thing has its food, without which it dies. This food may vary within certain limits; beyond them disease sets in, even if life continues.
Every child who has kept chickens or rabbits knows how carefully and regularly they need to be fed. Every child who has grown house plants or cultivated a garden plot knows how necessary air, water, and soil are for their life and growth.
It is only needful to transfer this knowledge to ourselves to see that we, as living beings, need our food in the same way ; and that air and water, as well as meat and milk, sugar and eggs, are our foods, without which we cannot live.
The baby’s food is milk, which contains all the substances needed except oxygen of the air. This must be breathed in through the lungs. To milk is added for the child of two years starch in various forms, rice, potatoes,, wheat bread, corn mush, etc. For the six years old there are added a few fruits and vegetables, eggs and a very little meat.
Animals, man included, are made up of millions of small cells, which do their work in a like manner. They live upon the ready prepared substances which the blood stream carries to them and change this material to forms which the green plants can use again, giving off CO 2 , water, ammonia, etc.
These cells, like the molds and other destructive plants, can live on either vegetable or animal matter, that is, we can eat either lettuce, peas, corn, apples, or meat, and derive health and strength from them all, but, like the green plants, we must have water in abundance and air, only we take oxygen from the air and give back to it the carbon dioxide which the green plants need.
In the course of this transformation in the living cells, some of the energy which the sunlight gave to the plant that was eaten is released, and our bodies make use of this energy to keep warm, to work, think, and feel.
The source of bodily heat, of human energy and power to work, is in the chemical changes which the food, whether animal or vegetable, undergoes in the cells and tissues of the body.
Everything is food for something else, each after its kind, and matter, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen, for instance, is kept circulating like gold and silver, which is now made into amulets and images, now lining drinking cups, now buried in the earth, now stamped as coin and passing from hand to hand until melted and worked into rings again. It is gold or silver all the while.
The food of mankind is to be here considered, and we begin with the earliest and simplest, the food of the infant, milk. This is chiefly composed of five great classes of food stuffs, classes we shall find in all natural food materials.
Water; eighty-seven per cent, more than three-fourths of the whole, and we shall find that our food must always contain a large amount of water, or if it does not, that we must drink liquids to make up the amount.
The curd of the milk ; which contains not only casein but albumen and other proteids. 1 This class of substance is also found in all living things, whether animal or vegetable.
Fat; which we know best as cream or butter. This is also common to both vegetable and animal substances, as olive oil and fat of meat.
Sugar; dissolved in the water of the milk so that we do not recognize it at once. Except this sugar of milk, most sugars are derived from the juices of plants and their fruits, but so abundant and universal are these that all races of mankind have sugar in their diet.
Mineral salts ; also dissolved in the water of milk, so that we do not think about them in that form. Salt, as we put it on our food, and the fertilizer we water plants with are instances of mineral food. The mineral salts are as needful for the life of the cell as the other classes. As has been proved by experiment, it is not difficult to learn the composition of milk and the amount of the various substances which the child requires.
