HOW DOES HOMEOPATHY WORK?

The question of how homeopathy works is one I get asked often, and it is usually difficult to give a clear explanation. The direct answer is…we don’t know. Some medics say that this is not good enough, but my response to them is “do you know the mechanisms of all the drugs that you prescribe”? The simple answer here is also “no, we don’t know,” but this does not prevent them from prescribing, as they KNOW from clinical experience that they work in certain conditions.

There are several theories of how homeopathic remedies work. Let’s look at some of the most plausible and interesting of these to make some sense of how these incredibly small-dose remedies actually work.

MEDICAL SPECTROSCOPY AND THE WATER SYSTEM
It is well-known amongst energy therapists that the human body emits vibratory information that precisely specifies the activities taking place within. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a spectroscopic method that is widely and successfully used for medical diagnosis. MRI works because tumours contain abnormal arrangements of water (Damadian 1971, Damadian et al 1974). Most physiologists attach no significance to this important fact, as they do not recognize that the body has a `water system’ involved in communication and regulation. As with the electrocardiogram, medical science accepts the information provided by MRI images as a sort of by-product of life, without appreciating the profoundly important energy picture that underlies the method. In contrast, homeopathy and other vibrational medicines take advantage of the water system and its great sensitivity to electromagnetic fields.

Living tissues contain thousands of different kinds of molecules, each of which is surrounded by water (Watterson 1988). Until recently, the medical use of direct body spectroscopy has been hampered by the fact that cell and tissue water absorbs the radiations one would like to study. The scientific question is what the water molecules `do’ with the absorbed information. Do they convert it to random processes (heat)? Or do the water molecules do something more sophisticated? Can water molecules store molecular signatures? Can such information be conducted through the water system? Perhaps the troubling `artifact’ of water absorption actually explains how homeopathic dilutions and the body’s water system absorb information from a substance.

In homeopathy, molecular signatures are transferred from a biologically active molecule to the water in which it is dissolved. This happens when the homeopathic physician `succusses’ the sample. Succussion is a method of vibrating or sending a shock wave through a solution. Dissolved molecules are made to vibrate intensely and coherently, and they therefore emit their electromagnetic signatures (emission spectrum).

THE MEMORY OF WATER
One plausible mechanism for water memory storage, published by Smith (1985), is that hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together in a helical structure that acts like a coil. The magnetic components of fields emitted by the vibrating molecules induce current flows through the water helix. These currents reverberate within the water structure, much like the ringing of a tuning fork.
Even when the sample has been diluted to the point that the original molecule is gone, the signals stored in the water continue to vibrate for a long time. Upon further dilution and succussion, the reverberating signals transfer to other water molecules used to dilute the sample.

INSIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS!
Many of the concentrations used in homeopathic drugs may at first glance seem to be so dilute as to have no possible physiological effect. But it is important to put these concentrations in perspective by comparing them with the normal concentrations at work in our bodies. Our body typically deals with ion concentrations in lymphatic fluid and serum of 10-3 g/ml. Hormone concentrations range from 10-6 to 10-18 g/ml depending upon the hormone and the tissue where it is being measured. From this it is apparent that most of the lower homeopathic potencies correspond with the natural physiological concentrations found in the body. Higher homeopathic potencies, which correspond to extremely low concentrations, utilize mechanisms for their actions that are not understood. While controversy surrounds the effectiveness of high dilutions, there is research which reports that these very highly diluted solutions do have physiological effects on a variety of natural systems.

HOMEOPATHIC RESEARCH
In a series of experiments continued over 35 years, Kolisko reported that wheat seed growth was promoted by low dilutions of various metallic salts, inhibited by somewhat higher dilutions, and stimulated again at dilutions higher than Avogadro’s number. Another experiment tested the effect on guinea pigs of daily doses of sodium chloride prepared in 30X, 200X, 400X, 600X, 800X, 1000X, 1200X and 1400X dilutions (all well past Avogadro’s number). The trial, lasting six months, was repeated two years in succession. Controls received distilled water. Test animals lost weight and appetite, had dull shaggy coats and dull watery eyes, were less active than controls, gave birth to young weighing less than the controls and had a higher mortality and lower reproduction rates than the controls.

Other experiments, using techniques from physics, have also reported that homeopathically dilute substances display measurable differences that may seem paradoxical due to the small concentrations present. Nuclear magnetic resonance experiments conducted in 1963 measured three solutions: a) 87% ethanol in water, b) sulphur 12X (prepared with succussion at each step, and c) an equivalent dilution of sulphur 12X prepared without succussion. The authors were able to distinguish the properly prepared sulphur 12X from the others, and concluded “some form of energy is imparted by succussion to a homeopathic drug, resulting in a slight change of the alcohol in these dilutions. There is a structural change in the solvent as the potency is made from the tincture to a higher dilution.”

HOMEOPATHY AT WORK IN AN INDIVIDUAL
From an energetic standpoint, one might consider that an individual such as John, afflicted with his “flu,” with all accompanying symptoms, would be resonating at a different frequency than the one to which he is normally attuned, let’s say 300 Hz as a matter of example. Let us assume that the frequency John “vibrates at” when trying to throw off his cold is 475 Hz. If he were able to produce more energy at the 475 Hz level, he might be able to throw off his illness more quickly and return to good health.

Hahnemann, with his homeopathic reasoning, assumed that the remedies were producing an illness similar to the one that the body was trying to throw off. He tried to empirically match the symptoms produced by a remedy’s proving with the illness he was attempting to treat. Is it possible that when a healthy individual is given a particular homeopathic remedy, the proving (or symptoms exhibited) is caused by an induction of the individual’s energy field to resonate at the dominant frequency of the plant substance used to prepare the remedy? According to this rationale, each species of plant should have its own particular energy signature. This energetic signature may be complex, formed by a multiplexing of various frequencies. Different parts of the plant, such as the bark of a tree, may have different energetic signatures than its roots, leaves, or flowers. In giving homeopathic preparations of the plant, the physical drug properties of the herb are removed, leaving the subtle-energy qualities that are absorbed into the water to predominate.

HAHNEMANN’S OBJECTIVES
What Hahnemann may have actually been doing is empirically matching the frequency of the plant extract with the frequency of the illness. He did this by matching the physical and emotional symptoms of the patient’s illness with known symptoms produced by the remedy. Physical observation of the patient was, after all, the only diagnostic manoeuvre available to doctors in Hahnemann’s time, prior to the advent of modern blood counts and multiphasic screening profiles. Matching the total symptom pattern of the patient with the complex of symptoms produced by a particular remedy was an ingenious method, albeit unknown to Hahnemann, of energetic frequency matching.

Using the Law of Similars, Hahnemann was able to give the patient a dose of the needed subtle energy in the exact frequency band needed. That is why in classical homeopathy one cannot mix different remedies to treat many different symptoms. The remedy that best expresses the patient’s unique symptom complex will be curative. Comparison of the patient’s symptom complex with a remedy’s symptom complex allows the homeopathic physician to make an empirical frequency match that will neutralize the illness.

THE HEALING CRISIS
Homeopathy’s energetic frequency boost is the probable reason behind the initial exacerbation of symptoms seen by physicians when the proper remedy is given (this so-called “healing crisis” usually occurs prior to complete resolution of the illness). Patients are given a frequency-specific dose of subtle energy that will help their bodies to resonate in the needed mode in order to return their systems to a state of health or wellness. The healing vibrational mode, enhanced by the remedy, causes the exaggerated symptoms of the illness which are experienced by the patient during the healing crisis. Homeopathy uses the diverse frequency spectrum of nature to discharge the toxicities of illness. This method allows order and equilibrium to be restored to the human energetic system. From the frequency specific viewpoint of homeopathy, it has been stated that “there exist the treatments for ALL of our ills within Nature.”

GULF WAR SYNDROME – THE FACTS!

Already, more than 10,000 are dead and 250,000 are sick from Gulf War syndrome. What secret is so terrible (or embarrassing) that necessitates a cover-up of the facts?

TRUTH IS THE FIRST CASUALTY OF WAR
The air raid siren went off.” Former Royal Air Force Corporal Richie Turnbull wheezed and coughed as he spoke. He is one of tens of thousands of Gulf War veterans who have been diagnosed with a fistful of illnesses attributed to service in the Gulf War. These include emphysema, angina, asthma, arteriosclerosis, arthritis, short-term memory loss, muscle wasting, cough syncope and numerous other debilitating ailments. Before deployment to the Gulf, Turnbull was an accomplished and superbly fit sub-aqua diver. Today, he walks with the aid of canes, slowly.

With understandable pride he told me how he had “proved Soames to be a liar three times”. The reference was to the former Conservative Minister of State for the Armed Forces, the Honourable Nicholas Soames, MP. Many vets uncharitably call the former minister “Fatty Soames”, owing to his handsome girth. The appellation reflects the seething contempt of an individual whom vets regard as one of the principal architects of a monstrous transatlantic cover-up.

Turnbull was an RAF Senior Electrician in a Nuclear, Biological & Chemical (NBC) unit and an experienced instructor on NBC equipment. He was stationed at the giant military base located at Dhahran on the night of 20 January 1991, when air raid sirens began wailing madly. Incoming Scud missiles were detected and a nearby US Patriot battery fired off intercept missiles. One of the missiles downed the Scud which landed a mere 400 yards from Turnbull. The impact left an eight-foot-deep crater but, curiously, the giant ground-to-ground missile did not explode.

“All the nerve agent detectors sounded the alarm,” Turnbull recalls. As an NBC expert he ran three tests which confirmed the presence of “G agent”, otherwise known as Sarin – the deadly nerve agent developed by the Nazis in World War II. Turnbull ran a further three “residual vapour detector tests” which also showed the presence of nerve agents. In all, he says, “thirty-three items of equipment showed that chemical weapons had been detected”.

“NBC Condition Black” was sounded and everyone on the base rushed to don their NBC “Noddy” suits. Incredibly, 20 minutes later an all-clear siren (“NBC Condition White”) sounded and troops removed their protective clothing accordingly. Twenty minutes later “NBC Condition Black” sounded again, and remained in force for a further eight hours.

Turnbull, who says he is “absolutely certain it was a chemical weapon attack”, is understandably angry. Sounding the all-clear when nerve agents were shown to be present was, he says, “the biggest cock-up in history”. Hundreds of troops were needlessly exposed to Sarin, he believes.

Turnbull continues to be a thorn in the side of Britain’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the US Department of Defense (DoD). Both maintain that chemical weapons were not intentionally used by Iraq’s Saddam Hussein. A spokesman at the MoD had earlier told me that he was a Royal Navy officer and was “in theatre” during the Gulf War. He went on to assure me personally that had the Iraqis intentionally used chemical and biological (CB) weapons “we would have retaliated in kind” – an allusion to US President Bush’s threat to retaliate with a nuclear strike if Saddam Hussein unleashed his prodigious chemical armoury on coalition troops.

In the event, it was an empty threat-old-fashioned political rhetoric dished out for the folks at home.

CHEMICAL ATTACK OR COCK-UP?
Faced with mounting evidence of chemical weapons exposure by coalition troops, both the British and US governments belatedly acknowledge that chemical weapons dumps were bombed, or otherwise destroyed, by coalition forces. They even acknowledge that the resulting plume of toxic material, blown by the wind, is likely to have exposed many thousands of coalition troops to these deadly agents. In other words, it was an unforeseen accident. This admission is known in intelligence parlance as a “limited hangout” – a technique designed to show that they are now telling the truth. They are not.

Pat Eddington, a former CIA intelligence analyst, in his book, Gassed in the Gulf, scathingly uncovers the institutionalised dishonesty within the CIA and the DoD over Gulf War Syndrome (GWS). Reasonably, he argues that based on the increasing number of vets prepared to speak of their experiences, it is clear beyond all doubt that coalition forces came under a series of Iraqi chemical and biological weapons attacks. Like Admiral Nelson placing a telescope over his blind eye, then exclaiming he can “see no ships”, the Mandarins in Whitehall and Washington are wilfully blind to what they don’t care to acknowledge. Yet, the evidence is overwhelming.

Ray Bristow had served 20 years with the Territorial Army. When not involved with his TA duties, Bristow was an operating theatre technician at his local hospital. He was mobilised on 27 December 1990, promoted to a Warrant Officer, and sent to the 32 Field Hospital located at Wadi al Batin, just a few kilometres away from the town of Hafar al Batin. On 19 January 1991 he and other personnel watched as a Scud missile roared overhead and exploded in an airburst. He could clearly see a cloud of vapour discharge from the Scud. The NBC alarms (known as NAIADS), scattered around the base, wailed loudly, alerting the troops of “NBC Condition Black”. “We were Scudded,” Bristow said, and the specialised equipment detected the presence of chemical agents.

Also present at Wadi al Batin that evening was former Sergeant Shaun Rusling. Previously with 23 Para Regiment’s 5 Airborne Field Ambulance, Rusling was an experienced Special Forces medic. His duties were to attend to the sick and wounded of Britain’s One Armoured Brigade. This soon grew to encompass caring for other coalition forces and Iraqi casualties, too. He watched the Scud explosion and saw the cloud of vapour bloom overhead. He also believes the unit came under artillery attack with rounds containing chemical weapons. Numerous boxes of 155-mm chemical ammunition were secretly recovered by coalition troops in the Kuwait Theatre of Operations (KTO) during the ground war and subsequent mopping-up operations. Made in the USA, they had been supplied to Iraq via Jordan.

COALITION COMPLICITY
Yet despite this testimony, these and other vets continue to be treated with official contempt. As recently as January 1997, the Countess of Mar posed a parliamentary question in the House of Lords which asked if the MoD had any “documentary evidence of chemical warfare” in the Gulf conflict-a curious question which was limited only to chemical attack. Questions regarding the use of biological weapons remain unutterable. In his reply, the Earl Howe stated that research conducted by the MoD “does not indicate any confirmed use of chemical warfare agents during the conflict” – which is an even more curious answer.

Who, conceivably, could confirm the use of chemical weapons other than those trained soldiers present during a chemical attack? Likewise, the tens of thousands of “detections” triggered by chemical agent detectors throughout the conflict are simply categorised as “alleged detections” which were “uncorroborated at the time”. Again, a careful and deceitful choice of words.

But behind the intentional use of chemical agents by Iraq lurks a far more sinister story which hitherto has not being told in any detail. Biological weapons, unlike chemical agents, don’t just kill on the battlefield: survivors returning home carry with them the potential seeds of destruction. These, in turn, can infect the families of Gulf War vets – a situation that is now occurring.

Importantly, the British and US governments were well aware of the potential use of both chemical and biological weapons by Saddam Hussein. They had, after all, supplied him with the wherewithal to develop his ferocious CB armoury. This included sophisticated equipment together with the necessary chemical precursors and biological cultures.

This knowledge led the British and US governments to vaccinate their troops with a ‘cocktail’ designed to protect them against both chemical and biological attack. Vaccines given to coalition troops included, amongst others, anthrax, botulism and bubonic plague. Cultures for all three were supplied to Iraq by the US Government during the middle/late 1980s for use in Iraq’s CB weapons program.

US BIOLOGICAL ARMS TO IRAQ
A 1994 Senate Report, entitled “Arming Iraq: The Export of Biological Materials and the Health of Gulf War Veterans”, underscores the biological threat possessed by the Iraqis. More often referred to as “the Riegle Report”, named after its author, Donald J. Riegle, Jr, the Report itemises biological cultures supplied to Iraq by the US. Riegle and his team identified no less than 61 batches of biologically hazardous materials exported to Iraq. “Between the years 1985 and 1989, the United States Government approved the sales of quantities of potentially lethal biological agents that could have been cultured and grown in very large quantities in an Iraqi biological warfare program,” Riegle stated.

These included pathogenic materials, “which means disease-producing items, and toxigenic, meaning poisonous items.” The Report added that “we were not able to get any records prior to 1985”. Riegle then included an extract from a Department of Defense summary report written in 1992:

“By the time of the invasion of Kuwait, Iraq had developed biological weapons. Its advanced and aggressive biological warfare program was the most advanced in the Arab world. The program probably began in the 1970s and concentrated on the development of two agents, botulinum toxin and anthrax bacteria… Delivery means for biological agents ranged from simple aerial bombs and artillery rockets to surface-to-surface missiles.”

Other biological agents provided by the US to Saddam Hussein’s biological warfare program included Histoplasma capsulatum, which can cause symptoms resembling tuberculosis and lead to the enlargement of the liver and spleen as well as anaemia and skin disease-symptoms that many veterans now exhibit.

Another organism was Brucella melitensis, which, when ‘weaponised’, causes chronic fatigue, profuse sweating and loss of appetite, joint pains, insomnia and nausea, and can potentially result in major damage to the vital organs. Again, these symptoms reflect the conditions experienced by thousands of Gulf War veterans. In addition to the foregoing, shipments to Iraq also included “E. coli and genetic materials, human and bacterial DNA”.

Furious at the way the Department of Defense has side-stepped these disgraceful issues, Riegle fired off a volley of letters to various officials. One letter identified that the “average cost” of each of the various biological specimens shipped to Iraq was “less than $60.00” and that they were “acquired from a not-for-profit organization”.

Stories also circulating of a genetically engineered organism being used in the Gulf War are paralleled by stories from British veterans who also claim the use of a modified mycoplasma organism. These vets include Angus Parker who had earlier said it was “an infectious organism manufactured in the US”. Oddly enough, this is one of the enduring aspects of the “Octopus” story involving engineered bio-organisms supplied to Iraq by the Wackenhut Corporation, the giant US private-sector security company whose board of directors reads like a roll call of military and intelligence alumni. It is an allegation supported by US investigative journalist Carol Marshall in her manuscript, “The Last Circle”.

Marshall has spent years investigating the allegations of Michael Riconosciuto-a former CIA scientific whiz-kid. Riconosciuto claimed that while working for the Wackenhut Corporation at its Cabazon Indian Reservation facility he developed advanced and genetically altered biological warfare agents. One such agent, he alleged, was a “race-specific” organism, genetically engineered to attack certain races or groups. Unleashed it could kill or render ill all those of a particular ethnic group, leaving others entirely unharmed. Clearly, the possibility of genetically modified bio-weapons having been used in the Gulf War cannot be entirely ruled out.

EXPERIMENTAL VACCINES COVER-UP
If genetically engineered biological weapons are now available, it is certain that there will have been developed the necessary antidotes in the form of vaccines. All of the vets I interviewed for this article spoke of the large number of vaccines with which they were injected.

Shaun Rusling received 24 vaccinations over a four-week period. Two of these vaccinations were classified secret, and were “experimental”, he believes. Richard Turnbull got a dose of 13 inoculations in just 10 minutes. Four of them were unidentified and classified secret. He also believes them to have been experimental.

Ray Bristow was informed in a letter from Brigadier McDermott of the MoD that some of his injections were also classified. Later he was informed by the Surgeon General, Admiral Revell, that this was not the case and that Brigadier McDermott’s statement was incorrect.

How many vaccines were classified secret? The Surgeon General, Vice Admiral Revell, during a “behind closed doors” meeting of Parliament’s Defence Committee, was asked, “How many vaccines do we not admit to?” He replied, saying, “I think probably about five or six.”

All previously classified vaccines were declassified on 10 December 1996, according to a letter dated 20 January 1997 from the Ministry of Defence. A spokesman at the MoD confirmed this in a telephone call on Friday 30 May 1997, adding that there were only three vaccines that had ever been classified. He told me these were: anthrax, pertussis and plague. This statement is confirmed in a letter to Shaun Rusling, dated 20 January 1997, in which the MoD confided that “the vaccines you were given against potential biological warfare threats were anthrax, pertussis (as an adjuvant) and plague. These are the only vaccinations which have ever been classified.” This is a far cry from the testimony of Surgeon General Revell in the closed-door hearings of the Defence Committee in which he said there were “five or six” vaccines which were “not admitted to”.

I posed this discrepancy to the Ministry of Defence. Surgeon General Revell’s testimony before the Defence Committee was “a misunderstanding”, the MoD spokesman said. Despite this “misunderstanding”, the medical records of Corporal Richard Turnbull clearly state that four vaccines – not three – were classified secret.

Turnbull is not alone in this respect. Ray Bristow’s list of shots, including anthrax (batch no. 0190), plague (batch no. 10H03A) and pertussis adjuvant (batch no. B1868a)- to name just those three that were officially classified-also detail two other vaccines labelled “biological”. These are still classified secret and their contents remain “unknown”. The story is identical for Shaun Rusling, even down to the same batch numbers of the vaccines he received.

UNWITTING GUINEA PIGS
A number of veterans now believe they have been used as unwitting guinea pigs and are deeply concerned at what precisely may have been pumped into them. Once again, Porton Down’s Angus Parker dropped another bombshell. Patiently, he explained that “the MoD has not been totally honest about the vaccines used against us”. I couldn’t help but catch his use of the word “against” us instead of “on” us. Clearly, he now considers the Ministry of Defence and others in the Whitehall bureaucracy to be bitter enemies-and he is by no means alone in holding that view. A few vets repeatedly warned me that the “Security Services” are paying them close attention. Some have had their phones tapped and others experience peculiar mail delivery problems.

Meanwhile, Parker went on to reveal the chemical structure of one of the apparently ‘still not admitted to’ vaccines. “There is an experimental vaccine – an AIDS vaccine,” he said. This “has been around since approximately 1990.” He went on to explain that this vaccine contains two components. One component is known as a “cytokine” which, Parker said, is an “immune potentiator”. It works like a “chemical messenger sent between different cells in the body”. When it detects a foreign organism, “it actually stimulates a response by the human immune system” to fight and hopefully destroy the alien organism present.

Parker’s analysis of this component was confirmed by a spokesman for London’s Biochemical Society, who added that it was “feasible” that cytokines could be “purified and cloned” and used to fight “against any agent”. The spokesman added, moreover, that cytokines were very “hush-hush”, were “cutting-edge technology”, and “logically” would have been “adopted by the military”. They were, she added, “experimental”.

According to Parker, the second component consisted of experimental HIV gene envelopes. He went on to explain one of the basic problems with this experimental vaccine. Whereas cytokines readily drop out of the body after awhile, “fragments” of the HIV genes do not. Although there may have been “good operational reasons” for topping up the vaccine with HIV genes, Parker acknowledged that no one knows the long-term consequences. “It was experimental,” he emphasised, and had been originally developed by Porton Down as an AIDS vaccine.

The question of HIV gene envelopes was put to the Biochemical Society’s spokesman, who stated that these envelopes “can be created to be specifically resistant to CBW”. The spokesman went on to explain that gene envelopes are effectively the “walls” that surround the nucleus of each cell and are thus the first line of defence against diseases-whether they be naturally acquired or as a result of CB weapons attack. HIV gene envelopes are among the most powerful and resistant known to science, she added.

Professor Beverley of the Edward Jenner Institute for Vaccine Research could think of no theoretical reason why HIV gene envelopes would be used other than to “stimulate a response against HIV”. He went on to speculate that had HIV gene envelopes been used in a vaccine, logically this would only have occurred as protection against a possible attack using HIV as a bio-weapon. There was, he felt, no other conceivable reason, but added that had such a vaccine been “given to Gulf War soldiers it would have been speculative”.

The picture that emerges is confusing. The use of cytokines does have a rational explanation, for cytokines trigger the body’s immune system. As such, they could be an ideal general vaccine for use in a CB warfare setting. However, the rationale behind using HIV gene envelopes is less certain and considerably more perplexing. Unfortunately, there is not enough detailed information available in regard to the HIV gene envelopes to reach anything but a speculative conclusion.

Some weeks prior to my interview with Professor Beverley, Angus Parker told me in a throwaway comment, “I don’t even want to get into AIDS as a weapon.” At that time, nor did I. Professor Beverley’s certitude that this is the only conceivable reason why HIV gene envelopes would have been used, leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Clearly, Parker’s revelations-if proved true-are stunning. The secret use of an experimental vaccine on British military personnel may be one of the most significant reasons why the Ministry of Defence continues to stonewall vets about the vaccines they received. To admit to involuntary human testing on such a sensitive issue will lead to a public relations disaster of huge proportions. As one ill vet told me, “I was ordered to volunteer” for the shots. He now wishes he hadn’t. The second potential reason clearly opens a can of worms about the possible development of HIV as a biological weapon.

BUSINESS AS USUAL
But there are other equally powerful reasons to keep the lid on the Gulf War Syndrome story. Pat Eddington, the former CIA analyst, has no doubt that the principal reason for the US Government’s stonewalling tactic is to cover up the supply of CB weapons to Iraq prior to the Gulf War. For the US Government to admit to such cynical irresponsibility would result in public outrage, Eddington says.

Eddington also chastises the Senate whose members selfishly refuse to act against the wishes of the Pentagon. Their delinquency of duty has resulted in the side-lining of in excess of 100,000 Gulf War veterans who now exhibit a range of symptoms typical of chemical, and, in some cases, biological attack. In this ‘business as usual’ scenario, Eddington also reserves some powder and shot for the major media who are largely willing to accept, at face value, the cloying PR handouts from the Department of Defense.

Hopelessly abandoned by one and all, many thousands of vets have now died as a result of their chemically inspired battle injuries, adding even more incentive to the Pentagon to continue the cover-up.

But in the final analysis, the reasons surrounding the British and US governments’ disgraceful obfuscation are many. Certainly, the prior supply of CB weapons to Iraq is enough to make many government officials quake with the fear of disgrace. It is a similar rationale that continues to eclipse the illegal use of experimental, unlicensed and highly sensitive drugs. Not least, however, is the knowledge that defence against chemical and biological weapons attacks is utterly shambolic. Pat Eddington states that CBW protective suits and gas masks are: “…(a) notoriously defective, and (b) in very short supply – two problems that have yet to be corrected more than six years later.” He adds, “That’s not something the Pentagon wants to advertise to the likes of Hashemi-Rafsanjani, Kim Jong Il or Colonel Qadhafi.”

Yet few can doubt that the intelligence services of Iran, North Korea or Libya are already aware of the published shortcomings of American and British CBW protective equipment. A more significant fear may be the realisation inside the Pentagon and the Ministry of Defence that their own troops will be less than willing to wade into a future CB battle zone virtually buck-naked.

Armed only with an uncertain dose of HIV but the certain knowledge that – thanks to the grace of greed and military commercialism – those chemical and biological organisms you are about to inhale and absorb have “made at home” stencilled all over them, would you volunteer for military service?

God bless!

DR. RIFE’S CANCER CURE IN 1934!

THE CANCER CURE DESTROYED FOREVER!

During the Christmas festivities I was doing a little clearing of my 5,000 book library at home and came across some of Dr. Raymond Rife’s literature. I sat down and read some of it with the same fascination that I had when I first read it some years ago. This man was one of the most incredible geniuses of our time, who back in the 1930’s, had cured 16 terminally-ill cancer patients with his electronic resonance device. This was an incredible feat, not only then, but also by today’s standards. He had invented a microscope with nearly 6,000 parts that could magnify up to 17,000 without killing the specimen – this is how he identified the cancer virus. Sounds interesting? Let’s start from the beginning!

THE GENIUS OF RIFE!
Royal R. Rife, born in 1888, was one of the greatest scientific geniuses of the 20th century. In 1920 he began searching for an electronic way of killing the TB virus. This is when he built his first electronic instrument that utilized the law of resonance. This instrument could produce profound physiological changes in living organisms, and cure chronic and infectious diseases.

THE PHENOMENON OF RESONANCE!
Dr. Rife discovered that when a cell was exposed to some form of energy to which it is resonant, this energy would be absorbed by the resonant structure. Should the resonant energy be greater than the cell can effectively dissipate, Dr. Rife found that this cell would fail structurally, sometimes resulting in cell death. A simple way to understand resonance is to think of an opera singer who can break a wine glass with her voice – the wine glass resonates at a certain frequency. If the opera singer can match that natural frequency with her voice, then the glass will absorb this resonant energy and smash.

This simple principle can be applied to living organisms too, such as bacteria and viruses. This is what Dr. Rife managed to do – he discovered a resonant frequency that he called the mortal oscillatory rate (MOR) for over 55 major bacterial diseases. He also found the MOR for cancer after arduous years of experimentation using sophisticated microscopes that enabled him to see micro-organisms live, without killing them by staining. Using this equipment he isolated the cancer virus that he called the “BX” virus.

In time, Rife was able to prove that the cancer micro-organism has 4 forms:

1. BX (carcinoma)
2. BY (sarcoma – larger than the BX virus)
3. Monococcoid form in the monocytes of the blood of over 90% of cancer patients.
4. Crytomyces pleomorpha fungi

MONOMORPHISM vs PLEOMORPHISM!
Rife wrote in his 1953 book: “Any of these forms can be changed back to the ‘BX’ within a period of 36 hours and will produce in the experimental animal a typical tumour with all the pathology of true neoplastic tissue, from which we can again recover the ‘BX’ micro-organism. This complete procedure has been duplicated over 300 times with identical and positive results’. There is no doubt that Rife was a perfectionist to the greatest degree!

What did Rife mean when he said that the other forms could be changed back to the ‘BX’ form? If we take what Pasteur has taught the world as the absolute truth, then no micro-organisms can change back to other types. Pasteur taught bacteriology based on the Monomorphism – there is basically one micro-organism that causes each of the different diseases. So, for every disease, there is a different bug. However, this is not what Dr. Rife and other researchers such as Beuchamp, Gaessens and Prof. Enderlein saw in their microscopes. Using a darkfield condenser with an iris objective, they could see different forms changing in front of their own eyes. This went directly against Pasteur’s theory of Monomorphism, to one of Pleomorphism. It is no coincidence that all these researchers, and others, had all seen the same phenomenon of pleomorphism using their microscopes. It is also interesting that monomorphism – one bug for each disease – is still the paradigm that is taught in all medical schools around the world.

By using Live Blood Analysis, it is possible to show that the more toxic the internal mileau of the body, the more these micro-organisms change forms to more and more virulent and pathological types which causes degenerative diseases. The ultimate stage would be the ‘BX’ virus that Rife has not only isolated, or some of the fungal micro-organisms that Prof. Enderlein and others have isolated and are found in over 90% of cancer patients. As Rife declared in 1953: “These successful tests were conducted over 400 times with experimental animals before any attempt was made to use this frequency on human cases of carcinoma and sarcoma.”

CURING CANCER WITH 100% SUCCESS IN 1934!
In 1934, Dr. Rife opened a clinic, which successfully cured 16 of 16 cases within 120 days. Working with some of the most respected researchers in America along with leading doctors from Southern California, he electronically destroyed the cancer virus in patients, allowing their own immune systems to restore health. A Special Research Committee of the University of Southern California oversaw the laboratory research and the experimental treatments until the end of the 1930s. Follow-up clinics conducted in 1935, 1936 and 1937 by the head of the U.S.C. Medical Committee verified the results of the 1934 clinic. In his 1953 book, Dr. Rife wrote about the cancer clinics:

“The first clinical work on cancer was completed under the supervision of Milbank Johnson, M.D. which was set up under a Special Medical Research Committee of the University of Southern California. 16 cases were treated at the clinic for many types of malignancy. After 3 months, 14 of these so-called hopeless cases were signed off as clinically cured by the staff of five medical doctors and Dr. Alvin G. Ford, M.D. Pathologist for the group. The treatments consisted of 3 minutes duration using the frequency instrument, which was set on the mortal oscillatory rate for `BX’ or cancer (at 3 day intervals). It was found that the elapsed time between treatments attains better results than the cases treated daily. This gives the lymphatic system an opportunity to absorb and cast off the toxic condition that is produced by the devitalized dead particles of the `BX’ virus. No rise of body temperature was perceptible in any of these cases above normal during or after the frequency instrument treatment. No special diets were used in any of this clinical work, but we sincerely believe that a proper diet compiled for the individual would be of benefit.” Date: December 1, 1953 Written by R. R. Rife,

Other members of the clinic were Whalen Morrison, Chief Surgeon of the Santa Fe Railway, George C. Dock, M.D., internationally famous, George C. Fischer, M.D., Children’s Hospital in New York, Arthur I. Kendall, Dr. Zite, M.D., professor of pathology at Chicago University, Rufus B. Von Klein Schmidt, President of the University of Southern California.

Dr. Couche and Dr. Carl Meyer, Ph.D., head of the Department of Bacteriological Research at the Hooper Foundation in San Francisco were also present. Dr. Kopps of the Metabolic Clinic in La Jolla signed all 14 reports and knew of all the tests from his personal observation.

One year later on September 18, 1935, Milbank Johnson wrote to Dr. Thomas Burger and Dr. C. Ray Launsberry in San Diego:

“This will introduce to you Mr. Thomas Knight. He was the man who had the carcinoma over the malar bone of his left cheek that we treated at the clinic in La Jolla last year.”

TESTIMONIALS OF CANCER CURES!
In 1956, Dr. James Gouche made the following declaration:

“I would like to make this historical record of the amazing scientific wonders regarding the efficacy of the frequencies of the Royal R. Rife Frequency Instrument.”

“In that period of time I saw many things and the one that impressed me the most was a man who staggered onto a table, just on the last end of cancer; he was a bag of bones. As he lay on the table, Dr. Rife and Dr. Johnson said, `Just feel that man’s stomach.’ So I put my hand on the cavity where his stomach was underneath and it was just a cavity almost, because he was so thin; his backbone and his belly were just about touching each other.
“I put my hand on his stomach which was just one solid mass, just about what I could cover with my hand, somewhat like the shape of a heart. It was absolutely solid! And I thought to myself, well, nothing can be done for that. However, they gave him a treatment with the Rife frequencies and in the course of time over a period of six weeks to two months, to my astonishment, he completely recovered. He got so well that he asked permission to go to El Centro as he had a farm there and he wanted to see about his stock. Dr. Rife said, `Now you haven’t the strength to drive to El Centro.’ “Oh, yes” said he. “I have, but I’ll have a man to drive me there.” As a matter of fact, the patient drove his own car there and when he got down to El Centro he had a sick cow and he stayed up all night with it. The next day he drove back without any rest whatsoever so you can imagine how he had recovered.”

“I saw other cases that were very interesting. Then I wanted a copy of the frequency instrument. I finally bought one of these frequency instruments and established it in my office.”

“I saw some very remarkable things resulting from it in the course of over twenty years.
I had a Mexican boy, nine years of age, who had osteomyelitis of the leg. His attending doctors treated him at the Mercy Hospital. They scraped the bone every week. It was agonizing to the child because they never gave him anything; they just poked in there and cleaned him out and the terror of that boy was awful. He wore a splint and was on crutches. His family brought him to the office. He was terrified that I would poke him as the other doctors had done. I reassured him and demonstrated the instrument on my own hand to show him that it would not hurt. With the bandage and splint still on he was given a treatment. In less than two weeks of treatment the wound was completely healed and he took off his splints and threw them away. He is a great big powerful man now and has never had any comeback of his osteomyelitis. He was completely cured. There were many cases such as this.”

Independent physicians utilizing the equipment successfully treated as many as 40 people per day during these years. In addition to curing cancer and other deadly diseases, degenerative conditions such as cataracts were reversed. Rife had been able to determine the precise electrical frequency that destroyed individual micro-organisms responsible for cancer, herpes, tuberculosis, and other illnesses. His work was described in Science magazine, medical journals, and later the Smithsonian Institution’s annual report.

THE BIG BOYS MOVE IN – CANCER CURE SUPPRESSED!
Unfortunately, Rife’s scientific theories and method of treatment conflicted with orthodox views. His work was stopped and both the research and the treatments were forced underground. The AMA took him and his associates to court – this trial would start Rife on a long road of deterioration, alcoholism and depression ……… as the deaths from cancer mounted year after year. While the court case was taking place (and afterwards), the AMA visited all the doctors involved. Those who didn’t stop using the Frequency Instrument would lose their medical license. One of his main co-supporters Milbank Johnson died under mysterious circumstances (possibly poisoned), and records of Rife’s work were destroyed. No medical journal was ever permitted to print Rife’s work, except one by the Franklin Institute that slipped by the censors. In 1946, Rife’s problems forced him to sell off his laboratory piece by piece.

Doctors secretly continued curing cancer patients for 22 years after the original success of the 1934 clinic, but always with opposition from medical and governmental authorities. However, from 1950 to the mid-1980s, a number of research scientists, working independently, have slowly been verifying the scientific principles upon which Rife’s clinical cures of the 1930s were based. A body of recognized scientific evidence now overwhelmingly supports the original cancer theories articulated and demonstrated by Rife 50 years ago. This includes modern AIDS researchers.

In the 1950s, John Crane – engineer, machinist, laboratory analyst, health researcher and inventor – became Rife’s partner. Crane, born in 1915, worked at Rife’s side from 1950 until Rife’s death in 1971. During this time, he learned all the secrets of Rife’s cancer cure . . . and all the details of its suppression. Together, the two men designed and constructed new and better equipment, and managed to interest a new generation of doctors in the possibilities of a genuine, lasting and painless cancer cure. And again the authorities struck. Crane was jailed, equipment was smashed, and records were destroyed. Again the motives driving on the forces of suppression were the same.

As Barry Lynes explains in his excellent book “The Cancer Cure That Worked: Fifty Years of Suppression:” “The AMA was guarding its pocket book, the pharmaceutical companies had “chemotherapy” to push for profit, because the American Cancer Society was a big money public relations fraud, because the FDA was owned by the cancer monopolies, because the media was silent, silent, silent.”

Such is the state of modern “political” medicine. The authorities protect their prestige and huge research grants while almost half-million Americans die of cancer every year. Political leaders legislate more money for research. But the money goes directly into the hands of those who refuse to consider that a pleomorphic bacteria/virus is the cause of cancer, and very possibly AIDS. New chemotherapy is devised for new, desperate, human guinea pigs. Talking about “barking up the wrong tree,” and what a shameful waste of public funds! Imagine what could have been achieved by Rife and his followers had this money been funnelled into his work, instead of the pharmaceutical industries? Do you think that cancer would be claiming about ONE LIFE PER MINUTE in the US alone?

Many people have tried to replicate the original Rife device, with little success.

THE RIFE-BARE DEVICE!
In September of 1995, an American Chiropractor by the name of James E. Bare, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, an electronics tinkerer since his early teens, set to work on a prototype Rife instrument after reading Barry Lynne’s book in late 1994. By late 1995 his Rife/Bare device started producing astounding health effects.

Users of this device have reported vasodilation of the blood vessels in the skin, and, as a result, some dramatic benefits: age-spots disappearing, skin thickening and becoming more youthful in appearance, slight hair-regrowth on the scalp, as well as memory improvement and alertness in the aged. Certain frequencies have been used to stop seizures as they occur. Users also report very dramatic pain-alleviating and muscle-relaxing effects at selected frequencies.

But most importantly, there have been reports that the device can resonate and destroy cancer cells (and sarcoma) in the body. It does this so well that one of the major problems is gauging the exposures that people can tolerate. There is also physiological stimulation of the immune system. At certain frequencies, the device stimulates white blood cells into a state of hyperactivity that can be observed microscopically.

I have personally purchased such a Rife/Bare device, which costs between $2,5000 and $3,000. My personal experiences are interesting – when I run the device for a couple of hours or so, irrelevant of the frequencies used – it gives me a lot of energy. In fact, one day when I inadvertently forgot the machine on all day, I had trouble sleeping that night. Besides the highly increased energy levels, I had a clarity of mind that was remarkable – I sat for hours absorbing material from books like a sponge. I eventually had to put myself to sleep as I had work the following day. It can “pop” my sinuses in less than 10 minutes when placed on the correct frequencies, and can alleviate headaches in about the same time. I am certain that it is capable of much more, but what is really needed is an input of money to set up an organized research laboratory with scientists that can again open the chapter of Rife research using modern-day equipment. If there are any such people around, please let me know!

CURING VIRUSES WITH ELECTRICITY

This week I would like to share with you something that I read about, and have consequently tested on myself as well as a number of patients who volunteered. It is how to kill the HIV virus, as well as many other viruses while they are in the blood using a simple “Black Box” device that produces a minute current using batteries. Interested? Read on, it is truly fascinating!

ELECTRICITY KILLS VIRUSES!
In a remarkable discovery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, N.Y.C. in 1990, it was shown that a minute current (50 to 100 MICRO amperes) can alter outer protein layers of HIV virus in a petri dish so as to prevent its subsequent attachment to receptor sites. (SCIENCE NEWS, March 30, 1991 page 207.) It may also reverse Epstein Barr (chronic fatigue syndrome), hepatitis, and herpes B. HIV positive users of this enclosed information may expect a NEGATIVE p24 surface antigen or PCR test (no more HIV detectable in blood) after 30 days. This is reminiscent of a well-proven cure for snakebite by application of electric current that instantly neutralizes the venom’s toxicity. (LANCET, July 26, 1986, page 229.) And there may be several other as yet undiscovered or untested viruses neutralizable with this discovery.

This very simple blood clearing treatment offered great promise as a positive method for immobilizing known strains of HIV still present and contaminating some European and US blood bank reserve supplies. It was further suggested that infected human HIV carriers could be cured by removing their blood, treating it electrically and returning it by methods similar to dialysis. Dr.
Steven Kaali, MD, projected that “years of testing will be in order before such an IN VITRO (blood removed for treatment) device can be made ready for widespread use” (LONGEVITY, Dec. 1992, page 14.).

DR. ROBERT BECK
The pioneer scientist and inventor of this remarkable device is Dr. Robert C. Beck, D.Sc. (See http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/morebeck.html for more info). In Dr. Beck’s opinion both blood and lymph can be cleared IN VIVO (which means blood isn’t removed) simply, rapidly, and inexpensively with similar but NON-INVASIVE techniques. Electronic and controlled electroporation approaches may well make vaccines (even if possible someday), pharmaceuticals, supplements, oxygen and diet therapies, plus other proposed remedies obsolete, even if they worked and were free.

In a public lecture (Oct. 19, 1991) the writer’s opinion proposed this theoretical do-it-yourself method for accomplishing HIV “neutralization” IN VIVO. Subsequently, his original modalities
and protocols have been extensively peer reviewed, refined, simplified and made universally affordable (under $75 for BOTH devices including batteries when self-made). These two simple treatments used in tandem can potentially nullify well over 95% (and perhaps 100%) of known HIV strains residing in BOTH blood, lymph, and other body tissue and fluids.

Following is a summary of two years of offshore feedback with this non-iatrogenic, do-it yourself, simple and inexpensive experimental solution to the ever escalating AIDS dilemma. There are no known side effects since milliampere currents are much lower than those in FDA approved TENS, CES and muscle stimulators which have been in daily use for many years. Battery replacement costs are under 25c per month per user or about 1c per day for a typical 21 day “spontaneous remission”.

No doctors, pharmaceuticals, ozone, or other intervention appears necessary. The pocket-sized, battery-powered, BLOOD clearing instrument is basically a miniature relay driven by a timer chip set to ~0.67 Hertz. Its 0 to 36V user adjustable biphasic output minimizes electrode site irritation. The described system delivers stimulation through NORMALLY CIRCULATING BLOOD via electrodes placed at selected sites (such as one electrode behind ankle bone on inside of foot and another identically located on opposite foot) over the sural, popliteal, posterior tibial, or peronal arteries where the subjects’ veins and arteries are accessibly close to the surface.

Using neutralization approximately 8 to 20 minutes per day for about three or four weeks should, according to Dr. Beck, effectively immobilize well over 95% of any HIV and simultaneously any other electrosensitive viruses in blood. In heavy infections, shorter application times could prevent overloading patient with toxins. Simply treat for a greater number of days.

In time, the restored immune system will handle residual problems. In the special case of impaired circulation due to diabetes, longer treatment times may be indicated. Immobilized viruses may be expelled naturally through kidneys and liver. More rapid neutralization is easily possible but not recommended because of potential excessive toxic elimination reactions. (Herxheimer’s syndrome). T-cell counts may drop initially (because of lysing and subsequent scavenging by macrophages) but should recover to over 200 within 90 days.

CANCER AND SUNSHINE DO NOT MIX! OR DO THEY?

I am certain that you are aware of the controversy regarding whether sunlight is good or bad for us. There have been reports in the media that sunshine can actually cause cancer, but the motive behind these allegations and propaganda is suspect, to say the least. On the other hand, if sunlight were a mainstream drug. It would probably make the cover of “Time” magazine, and be heralded as the greatest medical breakthrough in the history of modern medicine – it really is that powerful.

Sunlight exposure is well-known to provoke the production of vitamin D in the body and can reduce the risk of many cancers by more than 50 percent. It can even help to reverse certain types of cancers. The question is why has there not being more research on a natural healing source that has been around much before man became known on this planet? Has not only ignored this truly miraculous cure are many types of cancer, that it has actually tried to discredit it as Dr. Michael Holick, who was attacked for speaking out about the truth of sunlight and cancer.

A four-year clinical trial involving 1,200 women found those taking the vitamin had about a 60-per-cent reduction in cancer incidence, compared with those who didn’t take it, a drop so large – twice the impact on cancer attributed to smoking – it almost looks like a typographical error.

WHERE’S THE EVIDENCE BETWEEN VITAMIN D AND CANCER?
Two new vitamin D studies using a sophisticated form of analysis called meta-analysis, in which data from multiple reports is combined, have revealed new prescriptions for possibly preventing up to half of the cases of breast cancer and two-thirds of the cases of colorectal cancer in the United States. The work was conducted by a core team of cancer prevention specialists at the Moores Cancer Center at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and colleagues from both coasts.

The breast cancer study, published online in the current issue of the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, pooled dose-response data from two earlier studies – the Harvard Nurses Health Study and the St. George’s Hospital Study – and found that individuals with the highest blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, or 25(OH)D, had the lowest risk of breast cancer.

The researchers divided the 1,760 records of individuals in the two studies into five equal groups, from the lowest blood levels of 25(OH)D (less than 13 nanograms per milliliter, or 13 ng/ml) to the highest (approximately 52 ng/ml). The data also included whether or not the individual had developed cancer.

“The data were very clear, showing that individuals in the group with the lowest blood levels had the highest rates of breast cancer, and the breast cancer rates dropped as the blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D increased,” said study co-author Cedric Garland, Dr.P.H. “The serum level associated with a 50 percent reduction in risk could be maintained by taking 2,000 international units of vitamin D3 daily plus, when the weather permits, spending 10 to 15 minutes a day in the sun.”

The colorectal cancer study, published online February 6 in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, is a meta-analysis of five studies that explored the association of blood levels of 25(OH)D with risk of colon cancer. All of the studies involved blood collected and tested for 25 (OH)D levels from healthy volunteer donors who were then followed for up to 25 years for development of colorectal cancer.

As with the breast cancer study, the dose-response data on a total of 1,448 individuals were put into order by serum 25(OH)D level and then divided into five equal groups, from the lowest blood levels to the highest.

“Through this meta-analysis we found that raising the serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D to 34 ng/ml would reduce the incidence rates of colorectal cancer by half,” said co-author Edward D. Gorham, Ph.D. “We project a two-thirds reduction in incidence with serum levels of 46ng/ml, which corresponds to a daily intake of 2,000 IU of vitamin D3. This would be best achieved with a combination of diet, supplements and 10 to 15 minutes per day in the sun.”

WHY ISN’T SUNLIGHT PROMOTED AS A NATURAL CURE?
The $10 million question of course is why aren’t researchers promoting cures that are available for free?

Well, anyone dabbling in medical politics will know that the medical community doesn’t really promote anything that it cannot invent and patent for financial gain. Given the large checkbooks of the pharmaceutical companies, it should not surprise us that they can control what press releases are published, and spend millions of dollars on advertising their drugs. When was the last time you saw a full-page advert for sunlight, being able to prevent or reverse cancer? Instead, the medical community uses the full-page advertisement for high-profit prescription drugs that have negative side effects and actually kill people.

If conventional medicine was not so interested in making profits from the drugs that they patents, then we would probably see much more information on how sunlight is a natural treatments and preventative for breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, and even diseases like osteoporosis and depression. Instead, however, the profiteers actually scare people away from the healing power of sunlight and discredit any person, who dares to talk and publish scientific information on sunlight and vitamin D. it is a sad state of affairs!

VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY IS WIDESPREAD!
So how do we know that vitamin D deficiency is widespread amongst us? Well, statistics tell us the following:

 40% of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient.
 Up to 80% of nursing home patients are vitamin D deficient.
 42% of African American women of childbearing age are deficient in vitamin D.
 48% of young girls (9-11 years old) are vitamin D deficient.
 Up to 60% of all hospital patients are vitamin D deficient.
 32% of doctors and med school students are vitamin D deficient.
 76% of pregnant mothers are severely vitamin D deficient, causing widespread vitamin D deficiencies in their unborn children, which predisposes them to type 1 diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia later in life. 81% of the children born to these mothers were deficient.

Dr. Michael Hollick has written a book well worth reading entitled: “The UV Advantage.” Amongst other things he say, “In Europe it’s estimated that 25% of women that die of breast cancer may not have died of breast cancer if they would have maintained adequate vitamin D levels throughout their life and have had some sun exposure.”

Amongst other things that Dr Hollick says in his book, here is a summary of other useful facts about sunlight and vitamin D:

1. Natural sunlight stimulates your skin to produce Vitamin D.
2. Glass windows in your home or car can block the ultraviolet rays that help generate vitamin D.
3. It is nearly impossible, without taking large amounts of specific foods, to get adequate amounts of vitamin D from your diet. Sunlight exposure is really the only reliable way to generate vitamin D in your own body.
4. A person would have to drink ten tall glasses of vitamin D fortified milk each day just to get minimum levels of vitamin D into their diet.
5. The further you live from the equator, the longer exposure you need to the sun in order to generate vitamin D. Canada, the UK and most U.S. states are far from the equator.
6. People with dark skin pigmentation may need 20 – 30 times as much exposure to sunlight as fair-skinned people to generate the same amount of vitamin D. That’s why prostate cancer is epidemic among black men – it’s a simple, but widespread, sunlight deficiency.
7. Sufficient levels of vitamin D are crucial for calcium absorption in your intestines. Without sufficient vitamin D, your body cannot absorb calcium, rendering calcium supplements useless.
8. If you are chronically deficient in vitamin D this takes months to reverse.
9. Using sunscreens, even weak ones, can block your body’s ability to produce vitamin D by 95%. Three guesses why the sunscreen industry does not want you to know this?!
10. Additional exposure to sunlight will not generate too much vitamin D in your body as your body will self-regulate and only generate what it needs.
11. If you press firmly on your sternum and it hurts, you may be suffering from chronic vitamin D. deficiency.
12. Given that vitamin D is “activated” in your body by your kidneys and liver before it can be used, kidney and liver disease can greatly impair your body’s ability to activate circulating vitamin D.

HOW MUCH SUN EXPOSURE IS HEALTHY?
People should be careful to avoid excessive sun exposure, especially if it causes reddening of the skin. Only a small amount of sunlight is needed to maintain healthy vitamin D levels. It is produced in ideal quantities when the skin is exposed to ‘suberythemal’ amounts of UVR (i.e. low levels of UVR before the skin goes red). There is no extra benefit from the levels of sun exposure that cause deliberate tanning or sunburn and potentially increase the risk of skin cancer.

Past studies have shown that being outdoors for 5-10 minutes, 2-3 times a week in the summer months is sufficient. However, this will be dependent on skin type, on the age of the person and the amount of UVB radiation present. Once someone has produced enough vitamin D, any extra vitamin D is changed into inactive substances in the body. So prolonged sunlight exposure does not improve vitamin D levels but it does increase the risk of long-term skin damage.

Vitamin D can be stored in the body in fatty tissue, and will prevent most healthy individuals from becoming vitamin D deficient in the winter.

Those studying the vitamin say the hide-from-sunlight advice has amounted to the health equivalent of a foolish poker trade. Anyone practising sun avoidance has traded the benefit of a reduced risk of skin cancer — which is easy to detect and treat and seldom fatal — for an increased risk of the scary, high-body-count cancers, such as breast, prostate and colon, that appear linked to vitamin D shortages.

BIRTH CONTROL PILLS FOR BABIES

BIRTH CONTROL PILLS FOR BABIES

BIRTH CONTROL PILLS FOR BABIES

In 1998, investigators reported that the daily exposure of infants to isoflavones in soy infant formula is 6 to 11 times higher on a body-weight basis than the dose that has hormonal effects in adults consuming soy foods. Circulating concentrations of isoflavones in infants fed soy-based formula were 13,000 to 22,000 times higher than plasma oestradiol concentrations in infants on cow’s milk formula.

Approximately 25 per cent of bottle-fed children in the US receive soy-based formula – a much higher percentage than in other parts of the Western world. Fitzpatrick estimated that an infant exclusively fed soy formula receives the oestrogenic equivalent (based on body weight) of at least five birth control pills per day. By contrast, almost no phytoestrogens have been detected in dairy-based infant formula or in human milk, even when the mother consumes soy products.

THYROID PROBLEMS IN BABIES
Scientists have known for years that soy-based formula can cause thyroid problems in babies. But what are the effects of soy products on the hormonal development of the infant, both male and female? Male infants undergo a “testosterone surge” during the first few months of life, when testosterone levels may be as high as those of an adult male.

During this period, the infant is programmed to express male characteristics after puberty, not only in the development of his sexual organs and other masculine physical traits, but also in setting patterns in the brain characteristic of male behaviour.

In monkeys, deficiency of male hormones impairs the development of spatial perception (which, in humans, is normally more acute in men than in women), of learning ability and of visual discrimination tasks (such as would be required for reading).

It goes without saying that future patterns of sexual orientation may also be influenced by the early hormonal environment. Male children exposed during gestation to diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic oestrogen that has effects on animals similar to those of phytoestrogens from soy, had testes smaller than normal on maturation. Learning disabilities, especially in male children, have reached epidemic proportions.

PREMATURE DEVELOPMENT
Soy infant feeding – which began in earnest in the early 1970s – cannot be ignored as a probable cause for these tragic developments. As for girls, an alarming number are entering puberty much earlier than normal, according to a recent study reported in the journal Pediatrics.

Investigators found that one per cent of all girls now show signs of puberty, such as breast development or pubic hair, before the age of three; by age eight, 14.7 per cent of white girls and almost 50 per cent of African-American girls have one or both of these characteristics.

EARLY SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT
New data indicate that environmental oestrogens such as PCBs and DDE (a breakdown product of DDT) may cause early sexual development in girls. In the 1986 Puerto Rico Premature Thelarche study, the most significant dietary association with premature sexual development was not chicken – as reported in the press – but soy infant formula. The consequences of this truncated childhood are tragic. Young girls with mature bodies must cope with feelings and urges that most children are not well-equipped to handle.

And early maturation in girls is frequently a harbinger for problems with the reproductive system later in life, including failure to menstruate, infertility and breast cancer.

VEGETARIAN DIET IN PREGNANCY LINKED TO BIRTH DEFECT
Mothers who ate a vegetarian diet during pregnancy had a five-time greater risk of delivering a boy with hypospadias, a birth defect of the penis. The research team suggests that phytoestrogens, hormone-like compounds found in soy, may be responsible for the link.

Interestingly, the researchers also found that mothers who took iron supplements and those who had influenza in the first 3 months of pregnancy also had a higher risk of having a baby boy with hypospadias. The authors suggest that more research is needed to see if any of the associations found in the study actually cause the birth defect.

It is important to note that there is biological evidence that vegetarians have a greater exposure to phytoestrogens and thus a causal link is biologically feasible.

Hypospadias is a birth defect where the opening of the penis is found on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip. It is a common congenital defect, affecting about 1 in 300 newborn males. The condition requires surgery to correct it, where the foreskin is used to repair the problem. Untreated, it can interfere with urination and sexual function.

The investigators asked mothers to fill out questionnaires during pregnancy regarding obstetric history, lifestyle, and dietary practices. Of 7,928 boys born to mothers participating in the study, 51 cases of hypospadias were identified.

Mothers with a vegetarian diet in the first half of pregnancy had a 4.99 times greater risk of having a boy with hypospadias compared with mothers who included meat in their diets, the researchers report. In addition, mothers who took iron supplements had double the normal risk of having a boy with hypospadias, and influenza during the first 3 months of pregnancy increased the risk of by just over three times.
