			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Four very different individuals used four very different plans that have one thing in common: they cure cancer. These amazing stories can offer hope to individuals who are battling cancer. These stories profile the methods used by individuals who developed unique and natural treatments for cancer.</p>
<p>Living Proof &#8211; A Man&#8217;s Unusual Prescription for Bone Cancer:</p>
<p>In 1995, 54-year-old Michael Gearin-Tosh was diagnosed with myeloma, a form of cancer affecting the bone marrow. Myeloma is one of the most deadly forms of cancer. Faced with the prospect of chemotherapy, he decided to create his own natural protocol which included:</p>
<p>1. Gerson therapy entails juicing fresh fruits and vegetables; it is combined with three coffee enemas per day (<a href="http://www.gerson.org/">www.gerson.org</a>).</p>
<p>2. Regular acupuncture treatments.</p>
<p>3. He consumed enormous amounts of vitamin C, as prescribed by Dr. Linus Pauling.</p>
<p>4. He performed Chinese breathing exercises, a practice used for thousands of years. For one hour a day, he visualized inhaling oxygen through his toes.</p>
<p>According to Gearin-Tosh, &#8220;I imagined the heroic Imperial Russian armies that defeated Napoleon in 1812 marching through my body, looking for white cancerous cells to hunt out and destroy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Doctors gave him little likelihood of surviving no more than one year without chemotherapy. More than 7 years after that prediction, he wrote his book &#8211; a success story that will touch anyone who has fought cancer, along with friends and family members of a cancer patient.</p>
<p>A Woman is Cured of 3rd Stage Cancer Using Nigella Sativa:</p>
<p>Nigella Sativa (or black seed, as it is more commonly called) is a well-documented cure for many forms of cancer, including pancreatic cancer. Black seed is used to treat everything from migraines to cancer.</p>
<p>A woman in Yemen, suffering from 3rd stage cancer, sought a natural treatment. She was advised to take black seeds with honey three times a day, in addition to garlic and honey, also taken three times per day.</p>
<p>Her husband faithfully crushed the seeds and mixed them with honey. He also crushed the fresh garlic and mixed it with honey. After three months, her cancer disappeared. The woman has continued to use honey and garlic, even after the disappearance of her disease.</p>
<p>Breast Cancer Cure Using a Natural Diet:</p>
<p>Marilyn Brent, breast cancer survivor, has shared her story of survival using a natural cancer plan developed by Solomon J. Wickey. Her plan was very simple, comprised of the following elements:</p>
<p>1. Drink fresh carrot and celery juice every day (1 pint each)</p>
<p>2. Maintain a healthy diet with no animal proteins, no sugars, salts, eggs, dairy, white flour or peanuts.</p>
<p>3. She also took some herbs for 9 weeks, which consisted of: 1 tsp red clover blend, 1 tsp whole apricot extract, 6 food enzymes, 6 parsley, 6 pau d&#8217;arco.</p>
<p>4. She avoided cooking in the microwave.</p>
<p>She also walked daily, drank only pure water and prayed a lot.</p>
<p>Amanda&#8217;s Cure for Cervical Cancer:</p>
<p>Amanda says she cured her cervical cancer with a raw vegan diet, meditation and yoga. Her cancer diagnosis served as a wake-up call about her unhealthy diet.</p>
<p>According to Amanda, &#8220;A raw food vegan diet is based on unprocessed and uncooked plant foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, sprouts, seeds, grains, beans, nuts, dried fruit, and seaweed.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cancer &#8211; Turn It On or Turn It Off</p>
<p>America has one of the highest cancer rates in the world, and cancer is the most dreaded disease in our society. Once rare, affecting less than one in a thousand, by 1900 cancer affected 30 in a thousand. Today almost 500 in a thousand will develop cancer in their lifetimes. The situation has become so bad that almost all Americans over the age of 50 have cancer!</p>
<p>For example, it is known that after age 50, 40 percent of men have prostate cancer and 40 percent of women have breast cancer, and these are just two cancers. Cancer is also increasing among children and, after accidents, it is their biggest killer.</p>
<p>We need to teach people how to prevent and reverse this tragic disease.  Unfortunately, modern medicine is of no help. Since 1971, when President Nixon declared “war” on cancer, we have thrown 200 billion dollars at cancer research. What has this money bought us? More cancer! The public has yet to grasp the colossal gap between how much money the cancer industry is spending, and the paltry results it is achieving. Research is only part of the billion dollar-a-day cancer industry whose treatments with drugs, surgery and radiation are not only ineffective but dangerous.</p>
<p>These conventional treatments do nothing to address what caused the cancer, and they suppress the immune system. Suppressed immunity allows cancer to grow and metastasize—modern medicine’s treatment of cancer promotes cancer!</p>
<p>Fortunately, we can protect ourselves. If you are over age 50, you are probably past preventing cancer, you already have it! Now you need to keep it under control. Don’t turn the cancer on, and if you already have active cancer, turn it off.</p>
<p>Can this be done? Sure it can, and it is done every day by people who take charge of their health.</p>
<p> Last September, businessman Paul Orberson told his story on the Beyond Health radio show. Mr. Orberson had been diagnosed with advanced kidney cancer. Given only months to live, he read my book Never Be Sick Again—and put his cancer into remission. Fifteen years ago, my brother was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and given months to live. He, too, put his cancer into remission and is living a high-quality life. Medical school professor and author Dr. Lorraine Day reversed her highlyadvanced breast cancer. There are countless such stories.</p>
<p> To prevent and reverse cancer, it helps to understand something about what causes and promotes cancer. The cancer process occurs in three stages: initiation, promotion and metastasis. Initiation Cancer begins with damaged genes. Initiation occurs when the DNA in a normal cell is damaged. If the DNA is not repaired before the cell divides to form a new cell, it results in a permanent genetic alteration in those new cells. DNA can be damaged by a variety of means, including viruses, chronic infections, foreign bodies, nutrient deficiency, radiation and toxic chemicals. Numerous natural and manmade chemicals have been identified as carcinogenic. Upon exposure, these chemicals can, in a matter of minutes, cause potentially permanent damage to DNA. Such chemicals include many common household chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, food additives, fluoride and metals such as mercury and lead.  We live in a sea of carcinogens and must learn how to avoid them.</p>
<p>Radiation is carcinogenic; it damages DNA. This is why mammograms cause breast cancer, and why medical X-rays play a major role in our cancer epidemic. Due to our exposure to carcinogenic chemicals and X-rays, most of our older population and many of our younger people have completed this initiation, and they have clusters of cancer cells throughout their bodies. This stage of cancer is not believed to be reversible. Given the right conditions, these cells will grow and then metastasize. Preventing Initiation DNA is being damaged and cancer is being initiated on a grand scale. Our best defense is to support DNA repair with good nutrition while avoiding carcinogenic chemicals and radiation. We have been irresponsibly exposed to radiation by our doctors and dentists. Decline routine X-rays. Allow only those that are absolutely necessary, and there are very few of those.</p>
<p>We have been exposed to DNA-damaging viruses through vaccinations.</p>
<p>Avoid vaccinations. Vaccine-induced, DNA-damaging viruses are showing up in a variety of cancers including lymph, lung, brain and bone.</p>
<p>Avoid foods that have been heated to high temperatures, such as barbecued meat, as this causes formation of powerful carcinogens. Any food that has been blackened is dangerous, including toast.</p>
<p>Avoid peanuts and corn products as these are often high in aflatoxins, which are potent carcinogens. Fluoride can inhibit DNA-repair enzymes.</p>
<p>Avoid fluoridated water, toothpaste and processed foods.</p>
<p>Beyond Health has approved a reverse osmosis system that effectively removes fluoride. Defects in DNA repair will increase the risk of developing cancer after being exposed to X-rays and chemicals. Certain nutrients are known to support the DNA repair process. These include vitamins B3, B6, B12, and folate, zinc and L-carnitine. Most Americans are deficient in one or more of these nutrients.</p>
<p>According to the USDA, 73 percent of Americans are deficient in zinc, and 40 percent are deficient in B12. To optimize DNA repair, eat a diet rich in fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, and take high-quality nutritional supplements. Everyone should, at the very least, be on a superior vitamin/mineral formula.</p>
<p>The next step in the cancer process is promotion. This is when a small cluster of initiated cancer cells grows larger. These cells will not grow unless a precise group of conditions are met, allowing their growth-control mechanisms to be overridden.</p>
<p>Certain foods are known to promote tumor growth and spread. Sugar, excess omega-6 oils and excess animal protein all promote cancer. Cancer cells differ from normal cells in that they are totally dependent on sugar to produce energy. So raising the sugar content of the blood feeds cancer cells and helps them grow. In addition, increased blood insulin is a powerful promoter of tumor growth and spread. Oils high in omega-6s such as corn, safflower, sunflower, peanut, soybean and canola oils are known to support cancer progression. Never eat these oils, or any of the thousands of products made with them, including baked goods and salad dressings.</p>
<p>Perhaps the most significant factor of all is animal protein and most especially dairy protein. Animal protein, beyond what can be used for growth and daily repairs, promotes cancer, and the average American eats ten times too much. Excess animal protein is able to turn cancer on in experimental animals 100 percent of the time! A high-protein diet increases estrogen, and excess estrogen is known to promote a number of cancers. Protein also acidifies the body and cancer thrives in an acid environment. Animal protein also contains large amounts of the amino acid methionine. Excess methionine is known to be a cancer promoter. Preventing and Reversing Promotion Cancer promotion can be reversed.</p>
<p>By eliminating cancer promoters and maximizing cancer inhibitors, it is possible to turn cancer off! We know fresh fruits and vegetables are cancer inhibitors—eat lots of them. We know that sugar, omega-6 oils and animal protein promote cancer—avoid them. Omega-6 oils not only promote cancer, they also suppress the immune system. Eat plenty of omega-3 oils to offset this effect; supplement with flax and fish oils.</p>
<p>Turn cancer off by avoiding animal protein; this means avoiding meat, eggs, dairy and fish except in very small quantities. Avoid fruit juices; they contain too much easily-absorbable sugar. Cancer is highly iron dependent. Avoid iron-rich foods such as red meat. Avoiding fluoride is also important as fluoride can increase tumor growth by 25 percent. Fat soluble toxins bioaccumulate in the body. Their synergistic effect can be a powerful cancer promoter.</p>
<p>The average person is accumulating hundreds of such chemicals, including pesticides, styrene, PCBs, dioxins, phthalates and fire retardants. The only reliable way to get rid of them is with regular saunas, which have become as necessary as regular exercise.</p>
<p>Chronic stress substantially increases free radical formation and also severely depresses the immune system. Both promote cancer. Using stress-reducing techniques such as meditation are important.</p>
<p>Metastasis The final stage of cancer is when it invades neighboring or distant tissues. Once again, a precise set of conditions must be met to allow this to happen. This stage of cancer causes death, but it too is reversible. Preventing Metastasis When cancer cells enter the blood stream and get transported to other locations, they become very vulnerable to attack by the immune system. Strong immunity is critical to prevention. Cancer cells require special enzymes to invade other tissues. Studies have found that inhibiting these enzymes stops the spread of the cancer.</p>
<p>Plant flavonols found in fruits and vegetables, such as quercitin and luteolin, are known to interfere with these enzymes. Nutrition Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is probably the single most important thing you can do to prevent or reverse cancer. Evidence is overwhelming that common vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals interfere with the cancer process at every level. Many chemicals found in plant foods are capable of turning cancer cells back into normal cells. Certain flavonoids found in vegetables have been found to suppress and even to kill cancer cells. In fact, food and nutritional supplements have a far more powerful effect on cancer than chemotherapy.</p>
<p>Since almost all Americans are deficient in vitamins and minerals, supplements are necessary. Here is a list of the nutrients known to inhibit cancer: vitamins A, all the Bs, C, D, E, beta carotene, choline, selenium, acetyl L-carnitine, alpha lipoic acid, zinc, magnesium, flavonoids and omega-3 oils. Nutrition improves immunity. Immune cells have a higher metabolic rate, and therefore, need more nutrients. Water soluble nutrients such as B vitamins and vitamin C are not stored well in the body and need constant replacement. When this does not happen, immunity is quickly affected. Whenever the immune system responds to a threat, billions of immune cells are needed quickly. These cells will be limited by the amount of nutrients available for their construction. Any vitamin or mineral deficiency will quickly be felt, impairing immunity. </p>
<p> The bad news is that cancer is an out-of-control epidemic. The good news is that cancer is a complex disease requiring the successful completion of many steps to make it happen—this provides us with multiple opportunities for its prevention and reversal. The most powerful preventive and healing tools are fresh fruits and vegetables plus high quality supplements.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Heal yourself in 15 days by transforming your blood (part four)</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p>by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor</p>
<p>In part four, we take a closer look at how to transform your health by changing your blood.</p>
<p>Your blood is a useful focal point for exploring your health. Whatever health outcome you are experiencing today, it is largely a result of <em>what&#8217;s in your blood</em>.</p>
<p>Think about it: Your blood bathes your cells in nutrients 24 hours a day. Blood not only brings vital nutrients to your cells; it also carries away metabolic waste products. It is the superhighway of nutrition and detoxification that reaches into (virtually) every organ and cell in your entire body.</p>
<p>It stands to reason, therefore, that <strong>altering your health outcome depends largely upon altering the composition of your blood</strong>. If you want to make someone really healthy for a short time, for example, you can give them blood from a healthy person. Research has already documented that when you take blood from people whose bodies prevent cancer and then inject that blood into people who are suffering from cancer, the anti-cancer benefits of the blood are immediately reflected in the cancer patient (through tumor shrinkage, for example). There is such a thing as <strong>anti-cancer blood</strong>. And if you eat an anti-cancer diet, you&#8217;re making anti-cancer blood every single day.</p>
<p>I eat a very strong anti-cancer diet. Most vegans do, too. They could theoretically help heal cancer patients by simply giving them some of their blood. The anti-cancer effects would be immediate and powerful. The FDA, not surprisingly, prohibits you from selling your own blood as &#8220;medicine,&#8221; so don&#8217;t think you can make money by eating a healthy diet and then selling your blood for $1,000 / pint (although it might very well be worth that much in a truly free market).</p>
<p>The other limitation with this idea is that the benefits from receiving donated blood are short-lived. If the blood recipient does not alter his or her lifestyle in some meaningful way, the anti-cancer properties of the &#8220;healthy&#8221; blood will, within just a few days, be erased and overpowered by the blood that person is manufacturing on their own.</p>
<p>And this leads me to the important question: <strong>How is your blood made?</strong></p>
<p><strong>How your body makes your blood</strong></p>
<p>A typical human red blood cell only survives about 4-5 months. Your body is constantly producing new blood and releasing it into the bloodstream to do important work &#8212; the work of carrying nutrients, hormones, water, chemical messages and even information throughout your body.</p>
<p>Blood is primarily made of three things: Red blood cells (oxygen carriers), white blood cells (immune function) and blood plasma (a liquid solution that carries everything else).</p>
<p>When more red blood cells are needed, your body (with its infinite healing wisdom) automatically generates new ones. Naturally, it must create those red blood cells using the materials that are available: Materials that are <em>circulating in your blood at the time</em>.</p>
<p>Got that? So the blood cells you make TODAY, which circulate throughout your body for the next four months, are made out of the materials being carried in your blood right now.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s in your blood right now?</p>
<p>Your blood is largely comprised of <strong>the things you ate, drank and absorbed</strong> over the last several months.</p>
<p>So if you ate a McDonald&#8217;s cheeseburger today and chased it with a large Coke, the blood cells your body generates today are going to be made, in part, of materials from that cheeseburger and Coke. If you think about where cheeseburgers really come from &#8212; with all the cruelly slaughtered, hormone-injected animals, the ammonia-injected beef parts, the refined white flour in the bun, the processed cheese &#8220;food&#8221; substances, and so on, it&#8217;s not exactly the kind of thing you probably want coursing through your veins for the next few months.</p>
<p>If, on the other hand, you spent the last several days consuming fresh living juices, superfoods and clean, energized water, then guess what your new blood is going to be made of? It will be <strong>super blood</strong> that&#8217;s energized with the elements and vibes of all the good stuff you&#8217;ve been consuming!</p>
<p>Bad blood leads to bad health results. It leads to angry, moody mental function and chronic disease. But <strong>good blood</strong> results in happy, healthy outcomes. Good blood improves your sleep, your sex, your moods and cognitive function. Good blood keeps your body free from cancer, youthful, energized and actively healing itself at multiple levels.</p>
<p>Once you understand all this, it only seems natural to work consciously towards <strong>creating good blood every single day</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Amazing facts about your red blood cells</strong></p>
<p>• A whopping one-quarter of the <em>human</em> cells in your body are red blood cells. But most cells in your body are actually non-human cells (bacteria).</p>
<p>• A red blood cell circulates around your body in about 20 seconds. The same red blood cell makes tens of thousands of trips around your body, transporting oxygen to cells, before it is recycled by your own immune system.</p>
<p>• Red blood cells in humans are molecularly quite similar to <em>chlorophyll cells</em> in plants.</p>
<p>• Your red blood cells are made partially of <em>cholesterol</em>. Although the drug industry has tried to label cholesterol a villain, in truth you couldn&#8217;t survive without it!</p>
<p>Check out this amazing real-time animation of a red blood cell in a human body:<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Erytrocyte_deoxy_to_oxy_v0.7.gif" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:E&#8230;</a></p>
<p><strong>Cleaning your blood</strong></p>
<p>Having good blood means <strong>keeping it clean!</strong> Your blood is cleaned primarily by your kidneys and liver, but some additional &#8220;cleaning&#8221; functions are also accomplished by your lungs (through respiration) and even through your skin.</p>
<p>Ask anyone on a dialysis machine and they&#8217;ll tell you what a huge difference it makes to keep your blood clean. Your kidneys normally do this for you, but in many people, kidney function is impaired and kidney cells don&#8217;t work as well as they should to remove waste products from the blood. (Drinking sodas can impair kidney function, by the way&#8230;)</p>
<p>Hence the thinking behind an occasional <strong>kidney cleanse</strong> or <strong>liver cleanse</strong>. Keeping these organs functioning smoothly and efficiently helps keep your blood clean, and that translates into improved health for both body and mind. The two best cleansing product lines I know of are offered by Ed Group&#8217;s Global Healing Center (<a href="http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/" target="_blank">www.GlobalHealingCenter.com</a>) and Baseline Nutritionals (<a href="http://www.baselinenutritionals.com/" target="_blank">www.BaselineNutritionals.com</a>).</p>
<p><strong>How to create good blood</strong></p>
<p><strong>You are your own blood bank</strong>. You manufacture and distribute all your own blood. Given that your life depends on your own blood, doesn&#8217;t it make sense to manufacture the healthiest, most life-giving blood possible?</p>
<p>In fact, <em>you can!</em> You have conscious control over the qualities of the blood you manufacture. Because your blood is made of what you eat, drink, breathe and absorb, you can alter the composition of your blood by consciously choosing healthier things to eat, drink, breathe and absorb.</p>
<p>Here are some of the most powerful pointers for <em>making healthy blood:</em></p>
<p><strong>Healthy blood needs healthy fats</strong></p>
<p>You <span style="text-decoration: underline;">must</span> consume healthy fats in order to create healthy red blood cells. This means consuming healthful omega-3 fatty acids. From the world of plants, healthful fats come from coconuts, avocados, flaxseed, Chia seeds and other similar sources. From the animal world, the best source for omega-3 fatty acids is, in my opinion, the <strong>green-lipped mussels oils</strong> in Moxxor, which come from a pristine marine environment. To learn more about Moxxor, check out Jonathan Landsman&#8217;s Moxxor page at: <a href="http://moxxbiz.com/clients/getVideolink.aspx?videoLinkId=353&amp;clientId=229" target="_blank">http://moxxbiz.com/clients/getVideo&#8230;</a></p>
<p>There are other quality sources, too, including fish oil supplements from companies like Nordic Naturals or Carlson Labs. Some people take krill oil to get their omega-3s, and companies like Living Fuel (<a href="http://www.livingfuel.com/" target="_blank">www.LivingFuel.com</a>) offer high-end fish oil supplements. This isn&#8217;t a complete list of good sources for omega-3s. Do your research and use what works best for you. The more healthful omega-3 fatty acids you take, the healthier your blood will be (to a point, of course).</p>
<p>Consuming damaging fats will harm the health of your blood. Damaging fats include trans-fatty acids and fried fats (such as those used in fried foods).</p>
<p>Making healthy blood also requires the right <strong>minerals</strong>. Red blood cells themselves need iron, but you&#8217;ll want all the trace minerals, too, so they can be delivered by your blood to your cells. When you lack sufficient quantities of minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc and selenium, biological functions start to go awry.</p>
<p>Healthy blood also needs plenty of water, of course. Water is the primary fluid of your <strong>blood plasma</strong> &#8212; it&#8217;s a <em>solvent</em> that can dissolve and transport all sorts of crucial building blocks for health including water-soluble vitamins like Vitamin C. Without adequate water, your blood turns to <strong>sludge blood</strong> &#8212; sticky, gooey blood that your heart can&#8217;t easily pump through your circulatory system. The forceful pumping required to push this blood through your system is frequently diagnosed as <strong>high blood pressure</strong>.</p>
<p>Human blood also needs many other elements, all of which can be found in a plant-based diet (including the proteins needed for blood).</p>
<p><strong>You can make what modern science can&#8217;t</strong></p>
<p>When thinking about the health-enhancing qualities of your blood, remember this astonishing fact:</p>
<p><strong>Modern science cannot make human blood. But YOU can.</strong></p>
<p>Sure, they can try to make artificial blood. But clinical trials have shown that artificial blood doesn&#8217;t work very well. It carries only a fraction of the oxygen of real blood, and it&#8217;s no long-term replacement. YOU can manufacture blood that&#8217;s more technologically advanced than anything ever invented by modern medicine. The only question you need to ask yourself is: <em>What kind of blood will I make today?</em> (And tomorrow&#8230;)</p>
<p>Will you manufacture blood out of trans fats, Gatorade, pharmaceuticals and junk food proteins? Or will you make your blood out of living fruits and vegetables, healthful omega-3s and positive energies from Mother Nature?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s your choice, each and every day. You can have good blood or bad blood, and the health results you get will directly reflect the quality of your blood.</p>
<p>Want to transform your health? <strong>Transform your blood</strong> and your health results will automatically follow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is so true&#8230;the following article has been key in my health journey.  I still today, deal with fungus overgrowth and controlling it.  I have many symptoms from it and continue every day to work at eliminating it.  I know this to be true&#8230;.fungus affects your overall health and can affect every organ and cell of your body.  It is many times the beginning of many diseases.</p>
<p>To hear more on fungus listen to this interview I did with <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/sheila-ulrich/2009/08/05/heal-your-body-with-jim-haszinger" target="_blank">Jim Haszinger on fungus and health</a>.</p>
<p>Also for products I recommend, go here and get <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/products" target="_blank">Be A Cancer Survivor: A Process to Wellness</a>.  I list all products, doctors, websites, information you can use to improve your health.</p>
<p><strong>Heal yourself in 15 days &#8211; You are what you absorb (part three)</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p>by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor</p>
<p>In part three, we look at a powerful principle of nutrition: <strong>You aren&#8217;t what you eat; you are what you ABSORB.</strong></p>
<p>Many people suffer from poor digestion. In fact, you might say that <em>most people</em> aren&#8217;t able to absorb the nutrients they swallow, so they remain in a state of nutritional starvation even though they&#8217;re taking supplements that would otherwise be quite helpful.</p>
<p>These people tend to scratch their heads, wondering why all the nutrients they&#8217;re swallowing aren&#8217;t having the positive effects they had hoped for. The answer to this conundrum is found in enhancing the <em>absorption</em> of those nutrients.</p>
<p><strong>Strong stomach acid is good for you</strong></p>
<p>Pharmaceutical pill pushers have convinced many people that stomach acid is bad for your health. By promoting diseases like &#8220;acid reflux&#8221; or GERD, they misinform consumers into believing that heartburn and stomach pain are caused by too much stomach acid. But the truth is that in most (but not all) cases people actually suffer from <em>weak stomach acid</em> and they need <em>stronger stomach acid</em> to properly digest foods.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to test this by swallowing a teaspoon (or so) of vinegar with your meal and asking yourself whether it feels <em>better</em> or <em>worse</em>. For a surprisingly large percentage of people, the extra vinegar halts the pain they might normally feel after such a meal. This is a strong indication that they lack proper stomach acid production and could benefit from <em>stronger</em> acid. Vinegar is acidic, you see. Not as acidic as stomach acid, but far more acidic than most foods or beverages.</p>
<p>Consumers have been persuaded by drug advertising to swallow over-the-counter antacid tablets &#8212; products that are actually very alkaline and therefore lower the acidity (i.e. raise the pH) of the liquids in your stomach.</p>
<p>What most people don&#8217;t realize is that <strong>minerals require an acidic digestive environment to be properly digested and absorbed</strong>. If you lack proper stomach acid, you won&#8217;t be able to properly absorb minerals even if you swallow them! And this can lead to mineral deficiencies that promote the development of diabetes, cancer, chronic pain, arthritis and even heart problems (among other things).</p>
<p>So how do you encourage the production of healthy stomach acid? In my experience, drinking fresh vegetable juices each day &#8212; especially celery and cabbage juices &#8212; greatly boosts stomach health, ultimately supporting healthy stomach acid production.</p>
<p><strong>Digestive enzymes from living foods</strong></p>
<p>Digestion is a complex process. It requires biochemical and physical processes to break down ingested substances into their nutritional components. This process is significantly aided by <strong>digestive enzymes</strong> which exist naturally in living foods (fresh, raw vegetable and fruit juices, for example).</p>
<p>Heating foods (cooking them) destroys all digestive enzymes. This is one reason why cooked foods steal life away from people while raw, living foods impart life. Living foods usually come with their own digestive enzymes, aiding your digestive processes in breaking down and absorbing nutrients.</p>
<p>Dead foods &#8212; which include anything <em>pasteurized</em> &#8212; stress your liver, pancreas and gallbladder by requiring these organs to produce extra digestive enzymes that are missing from the foods themselves. Because many people suffer from poor digestive organ function, they have difficulties absorbing the nutrients they&#8217;ve swallowed.</p>
<p><strong>Probiotics</strong></p>
<p>Many people suffer from serious intestinal flora imbalances. Western medicine, for the most part, remains astonishingly ignorant about the importance of intestinal flora to overall health, but those who study more holistic medicine understand the important role that these &#8220;inner bacteria&#8221; play in your health: The bacteria in your gut actually <em>digest</em> and <em>transform</em> nutrients you eat into other nutrients.</p>
<p>They are, in essence, <strong>nutrient transformers</strong> that operate inside your body, producing nutrients needed for your health. That&#8217;s why people who take <strong>antibiotics</strong> often suffer serious digestive side effects in the days that follow: They&#8217;ve wiped out all the friendly intestinal bacteria that were providing essential nutrients!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to remedy this imbalance: Take probiotic supplements on a regular basis. This will feed your digestive tract the friendly bacteria you need.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t fall for the marketing sham of eating yogurt, thinking it&#8217;s loaded with probiotics. <strong>Virtually all store-bought yogurt is pasteurized</strong>, and pasteurization kills the friendly bacteria. This makes most &#8220;probiotic yogurt&#8221; products nothing more than a dishonest marketing gimmick.</p>
<p>By the way, if you want healthy intestinal flora, it&#8217;s also important to <em>reduce your consumption of dietary sugars</em>. When you consume more sugars, you alter the bacterial population in your gut, causing a shift toward bacteria that feed on sugars. As you alter your diet to exclude refined sugars, the population of bacteria in your gut follows suit, shifting towards a non-sugar bacterial population.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I was healing from terminal cancer, I would try anything that was toxic, along with my medical treatment I was trying with my doctors.  I took an <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/Integrative-medicine.htm" target="_blank">integrative medicine </a>approach to get the maximum benefits.  My life was too important.  I figured it can&#8217;t hurt, why not try&#8230;.. Read my story <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/products" target="_blank">Song of My Soul</a></p>
<p>Here is an interesting article and some breast cancer research.  I would love to hear what you think.  Would you try it?</p>
<p>(NaturalNews) Seasoning food with turmeric and black pepper can do more than just spice up a meal. Researchers at the University of Michigan (U-M) Comprehensive Cancer Center have found that the compounds curcumin, which is derived from turmeric, and piperine, derived from black pepper, could play an important role in preventing and even treating breast cancer.</p>
<p> Previous research has already provided evidence that curcumin and piperine may be potential cancer treatments. However, the new U-M study, just published online in the journal <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/prevent-treat-and-reverse-cancer.htm" target="_blank">Breast Cancer </a>Research and Treatment, is the first to suggest exactly how these natural spice compounds could prevent cancer. The research shows curcumin and piperine target stem cells (unspecialized cells that can give rise to any type of cell in an organ).</p>
<p>This is of major significance because cancer stem cells comprise the small number of cells inside a tumor that fuel the growth of malignancies. Current chemotherapy agents are useless against these cells &#8212; that&#8217;s why cancer can recur and spread despite rounds of heavy duty, toxic chemo. But if cancer stem cells could be eliminated and/or their growth shut down, cancer should be controlled.</p>
<p> &#8221;If we can limit the number of stem cells, we can limit the number of cells with potential to form tumors,&#8221; lead author Madhuri Kakarala, M.D., Ph.D., a clinical lecturer in internal medicine at the U-M Medical School and a research investigator at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System, said in a statement to the media. And the new study shows curcumin and piperine work along these lines.</p>
<p>The spice derivatives are able to do what chemo can&#8217;t &#8212; they limit the self-renewal of stem cells. Killing cancer cells with zero toxicity to healthy cells For the U-M study, the research team applied a solution of curcumin and piperine to cell cultures at the equivalent of about 20 times the potency of what a person would take in through diet.</p>
<p>Then a series of tests were performed on the cells to look at markers for breast stem cells and the effect curcumin and piperine had on the levels of stem cells. The result? Piperine enhanced the effects of curcumin and the compounds interrupted the self-renewal process that is the hallmark of stem cells which initiate cancer.</p>
<p> More good news: the compounds had no effect on the normal process of cell development known as cell differentiation. That means the spice compounds are not toxic to normal breast tissue.</p>
<p>&#8220;Women at high risk of breast cancer right now can choose to take the drugs tamoxifen or raloxifene for prevention, but most women won&#8217;t take these drugs because there is too much toxicity. The concept that dietary compounds can help is attractive, and curcumin and piperine appear to have very low toxicity,&#8221; Dr. Kakarala stated. In addition, tamoxifen and raloxifene are designed to target estrogen. But not all breast cancers are estrogen driven. In fact, the most aggressive and deadly forms of breast cancer that are more likely to occur in women with strong family histories of the disease or with a specific genetic susceptibility to breast cancer are typically not affected by estrogen and tend to be difficult to treat.</p>
<p>But due to the fact curcumin and piperine limit the self-renewal of stem cells, the spice compounds could impact malignancies whether they are estrogen sensitive or not. Dr. Kakarala and colleagues are moving forward on an initial Phase 1 clinical trial in people to determine the best tolerated dose of curcumin and piperine. The study is expected to start signing on volunteer research subjects in spring of 2010.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Within each of us is our connection to the most powerful, loving, all intelligent energy in the universe.  That is where the answers lie for each of us.  Here is an amazing story of a young woman who listened to her inner authority and followed it and believed.</p>
<p>No matter what your situation, go within and find out your truth, whatever that is.  Then follow and believe.  That is when miracles happen.  This is how we were created to live.</p>
<p>I am a German national living in the Philippines with my husband and 4 children since 26 Years.  18 month ago I was diagnosed with Glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive and fastest growing of all stage 4 brain tumors.  I had no warning signs like headache, vision problems or any other problems except some tingling and cramping sensations in my leg, which did not really bother me much.</p>
<p>It was back in August 2007, then.  Being a type A person, I didn&#8217;t mentioned anything to my husband and 4 children and continued with my busy life.  The sensation became more and more uncomfortable especially when climbing up the 80 steps to our house on the hill, until when suddenly my leg gave way and I fell.   It happened twice in two weeks time.  That’s when I felt that I probably should have a checkup.</p>
<p>After some month of initial misdiagnosis of tumefactive MS &#8211; a tumor mimicking case of multiple sclerosis &#8211; finally a 5 cm brain tumor was discovered.   A pretty  big one in that location.   By that time my leg was so weak, that I could not walk anymore due to the pressure of the tumor to the nerves connected to my leg.</p>
<p>My wonderful and very loving husband carried me around.  I was operated in February 2008 in a seven hour awake operation, to avoid as much as possible damage to the many delicate nerves located in the brain.  I felt very calm before and during the operation and was able to comfort my frightened family and friends, telling them that there is nothing to worry since everything will be fine.  I kissed, hugged and smiled at my husband and was rolled into the operating room.</p>
<p>I had a team of fifteen doctors and nurses around me in the operating room.  One of the doctors asked me to pray, since it was not an easy operation.  They prayed, too. They were caring and very concerned.  I felt very secure and safe during all the preparations and had some interesting conversations with them until it was time for the incisions.  I was sedated then for a short time.</p>
<p>Before I fell into a short sleep, I saw myself walking on a straight road in a childlike age, holding hands with my heavenly mother and father, left and right.  I am sure, that it was the source of inspiration, confidence and fearlessness that gave me the strength on a spiritual level.  The love of my husband, children and friends nurtured me on an emotional level.  The care, dedication and professional expertise of the doctors and nurses gave me confidence on a pre- and post operation level.</p>
<p>I believe, all of that led me to this mission in my life:</p>
<p>It is to tell YOU My Story of <a title="hope" href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/Angels-Around-us.htm" target="_blank">Hope</a>, Love, Trust and Healing.</p>
<p>And to tell YOU about the amazing Powers of Natural <a title="healing" href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/cancer-support-and-drugs.htm" target="_blank">Healing,</a></p>
<p>for Any Kind of <a title="cancer" href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/cancer-support.htm" target="_blank">Cancer</a>, whatever Stage it might be!</p>
<p>YOU can conquer it &#8211; and so DID I .. <img src='http://sheilaulrich.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>You see, after my successful operation, we had to wait for a few days for the result of the pathology.  Since I had an awake operation, I understood already during the operation, that the result was not what we hoped for, but I didn&#8217;t mentioned anything to anyone.  I used the time instead to prepare myself mentally to comfort and give strength to my family, for what I knew what was coming up next:  It was to deal with a very real Enemy and Threat to your Life:  being diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer is No Joke for Anyone!</p>
<p>Whether you are more afraid of your own life, which is very understandable, or the pain of loss for your husband/wife and children, it is always a dramatic change in the course of your life.</p>
<p>But the good news is, YOU do not have to die from it and Your Life might even change for the better!</p>
<p>I had a very dedicated surgeon, who had performed already more than 1000 brain surgeries by that time, but only fifteen awake surgeries.  Most patients are not willing to give it a try &#8211; despite the much lower risk of permanent damage &#8211; since the patient is conscious.  I felt no pain during the whole time.  The operation went fine.  After the operation, one of the female doctors asked me how I stayed so calm during the whole procedure.</p>
<p><strong><em>I answered her that there is an Inner Sanctum, which everybody has inside and that’s where I go. There is no fear, because there is no room for fear.</em></strong></p>
<p>I spent only the minimum of the post OP requirement of 24 hours in the ICU.  I was very hungry. Instead of swallowing the usual liquid food there, I asked my nurse to tell my surgeon that I needed real food.  Otherwise I would get seriously sick.  I got a full plate of real food.  Coming out of the ICU,  I had already the first 3 visitors in my room and the room was overflowing with flowers. It was nice to be alive.  When the result of the pathology was out, my surgeon had it repeated because he didn&#8217;t like the result.  We didn&#8217;t like it either. But I told him not to worry about me since I am not going to die now.</p>
<p>I am a fighter and survivor.</p>
<p>He told me, that he had so far never a patient with that diagnosis, who told him not to worry about it&#8230;He added that my positive spirit was quite unusual.  I left the hospital 8 days after my operation.  The following evening our Indian and Filipino friends gave a big Thanksgiving Dinner for my survival and my whole family. My surgeon was invited, too.  The usual post OP “Therapy” is Chemo and Radiation.  The oncologist and radiologist told me, that this was my only (slight) chance of survival.  Usually most are gone after 6-12 month with that diagnosis.</p>
<p><strong><em>I didn&#8217;t believe my doctors anyway and listened to my inner voice insteadwhich told me, that it is not my time now and there is another and much better way for me.</em></strong></p>
<p>I told the doctors that I decided to take the road less traveled and treat myself with purely natural modalities instead.  They gave me 3 weeks until the tumor was to return.  That was back in March 2008.  It is now July 30, 2009. And I am not only alive, but completely cancer free!</p>
<p>My husband and I have spent the last 18 month researching intensively and became completely fascinated by the vast variety of purely alternative methods available to get rid of all kinds of cancers.  I am absolutely convinced, that I would not be alive today,  had I let chemo destroy my immune system with chemo “therapy” or had I let the radiation “treatment” damage the DNA of millions of my healthy cells – which causes cancer to return!  I instead had my immune system seriously boosted and used immune cell therapy and powerful, fresh enzymes to expose the remaining cancer cells to my immune system to kill them.  I also use a variety of alternative methods to clean my cells and all organs from free radicals and toxins.</p>
<p>We have not invented natural or alternative healing!</p>
<p>I AM merely a Witness to it&#8217;s efficiency and made it My Mission to bring it to YOU in a refined and easily accessible way.</p>
<p>We know how lost one can feel in a forest of options and different opinions at a time, when qualified and experienced guidance is of utmost importance, because by that time, we had to find out on our own&#8230;</p>
<p>We have now therefore brought the Wise and Successful in these fields to sit at one table and have inspired them to create a finely tuned therapy with 18 standard and 6 individualized modalities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a <a title="cancer survivor speaker" href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/" target="_blank">cancer survivor  </a>one thing I know for sure is&#8230;.</p>
<p>-We will have to change the way we view health or we will continue to get sicker and sicker&#8230;.</p>
<p>Through my journey with stage 4 <a title="melanoma" href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/Detoxification-with-coffee-Enemas.htm" target="_blank">melanoma</a>, I found out truths about our healthcare, government, medical community, etc.  I really didn&#8217;t want to know.</p>
<p>The most life changing for me is the medical system, my medical team did not know how to heal the body.  That is not what they do.  They told me that.</p>
<p>If we are going to start healing, changes will have to be made in the systems, organizations, government, pharmiceutical companies, education, and society.  It is our choice what we want to do.</p>
<p>This is a great list of ideas of changes that could affect all of us, our children and the future of America.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where your attention goes so do YOU!</p>
<p>Now you have a list of catagories and positive, present tense goals or intentions listed for 2009.  Great!</p>
<p>Next, look at your list.  What one intention has the greatest impact on your life?</p>
<p>Take that intention and write it on the top of a blank page.  Now you are going to list all the activities or  all the ways possible to achieve that goal.  Don&#8217;t analyze or get too much in your head about it.  Let it flow.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t move forward when you are chained to the past. Often our past limits us for living right now.  And all we really have is right now.  We get in our own way and stop ourselves from living the life we dream of.  We are hashing and rehashing what happened in the past, who did this to me, why I can&#8217;t be or do something because of something that happend years ago.  Let Go!  We can&#8217;t change the past.   You can only live now.</p>
<p>Do you want to be chained to the past and not live the life you dream of?</p>
<p>If this keeps coming up for you as you do this, pay attention to the thoughts that keep repeating.  Are they part of your past?  Is there someone that you keep thinking about that you think is responsible for you and your life, or why you do certain things?  Let it go!</p>
<p>God Bless them, forgive them and wish them well.  Who in your life have you not forgiven?</p>
<p>This is a big part of living a healthy happy life.  If you are dealing with cancer this is crucial to your healing.  All the bags of the past you are carrying are toxic to your body.  Through my <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/cancer-support-and-integrative-medicine.htm" title="cancer support">cancer support </a>I can help you through the process.</p>
<p>Also, the Living From The Heart workbook takes you through the process of letting go and living now.  <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/products" title="click here">Click here </a>to read about it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2009 is here.  A time to reflect on another year experienced and a new year upon us.  Many take the time to write goals for the coming year.  Do you?</p>
<p>Our intentions set the direction for our life.  If we don&#8217;t have intentions, our life can seem to be on auto pilot and what shows up is just some luck of the draw.  If by chance our intentions do create our experiences this year, would you take time to decide what you want?</p>
<p>This is the time we take out our tool, our mind, and use it to determine what we want to do, be and have in 2009 and write it down. </p>
<p>Do you know what you want for 2009?</p>
<p>Start with catagories, for example:</p>
<p>Health, Career, Family, Social, Recreational, Spiritual, Service</p>
<p>Within each catagory, write what you would like for 2009.</p>
<p>Set a date if you can.  Write it as if it has already occurred.  For example: I have perfect health with energy and vitality.  I am working in a new job June 1, 2009 which I love and gives me purpose and inspires my creative self.</p>
<p>Setting your intentions will help direct your life the coming year.  Then within each day when opportunites and experiences come to you, be present and listen to the direction to take. </p>
