Cures for Cancer at Any Cost

Cures for Cancer at any Cost
A recent article in the Globe and Mail regarding the risks and benefits of Cancer Screening. “ The advantages to screening have been exaggerated.” states Dr Brawley. In Canada an expert panel said that women over 40 do not need routine mammography screening . The reason being that the value of mammography has been decisively disproven. Many experts say that it is of no value period. In one Danish study women between 55 and 74 who had regular mammograms had a 1% annual decrease in breast cancer mortality. But women who were unscreened had a 2% annual decrease in breast cancer mortality. In other words you were less likely to die from breast cancer if you did not participate in the annual mammogram screening. Dr. Gotzche concluded if “screening were a drug it would have been withdrawn . You don’t market a drug that harms so many people for such uncertain benefits. “
Furthermore the article continues to state that the screening picks up harmless cancers that never would have been a problem . Instead of saving lives screening creates an avalanche of over diagnosing and needless treatments. For example out of 2100 women, 690 would have detected a false positive result , 75 would have to undergo unnecessary biopsies and needless surgeries.
Now let’s address prostate PSA tests. These same experts state that men should not have PSA tests at all. The test does not save lives and it does inflict devastating harm on men whose cancer would have otherwise been benign . Between 1986 and 2005 1 million men were treated for prostate cancer because of the PSA test. At least 5000 men died soon after the test due to the harm from the surgeries. 70. 000 men suffered needless serious complications and 300,000 suffered impotence and incontinence. The expert group are totally against the PSA test stating the test to be harmful with the annual cost in the USA being $3 billion. So why is the PSA test administered as I speak. The drug companies continue peddling the tests for financial gain. Richard Ablin the founder of PSA is devastated, “ I never dreamed that my discovery four years ago would lead to such as profit driven public health disaster. “
Because cancer always starts from an injury it makes no sense to inflict your breasts to an injurious type of mammography test. It simple aggravates the problem . It makes no sense to submit to unproven prostate tests that serve no purpose accept to expose you to surgical procedures that cause harm and inflict injury. In cancer there is cell replication and the law of nature states that cells do not randomly replicate. There must be a reason for cell replication to take place and that reason is that there is an injury. So here is the wisdom of this all. It is imperative that we should on a daily basis provide our stem cells whose job it is to repair that injury with all the essential building blocks at all times so that any inconsequential injuries may be repaired well before they get to the mutated point. What do we do ? We feed our bodies not with daily junk food but with high dense nutritious super foods . And what better way to feed these wondrous stem cells than to give them a Smoothie every day loaded with:
Mineral Chi Tonic for the minerals lacking in today’s foods
Collatrim Plus bioavailable amino acids
Agrinine Plus to solve all circulation issues
Flax Hull Lignans which bind the harmful xenoestrogens produced by Candida and which feed cancer.
Colostrum known to bind harmful lectins found in all grains . They plug up the blood stream .

1000Herbal Success Stories

37. Emotional Stress and Surgical Pain

One lady ended up with excruciating pain after a knee surgery. She refused to take pain medication because the medication would make her very sick. She was in a desperate situation feeling overwhelmed. anxious and worried. “ It’s an awful feeling when you have pain after knee surgery and you don’t know whither you are coming or going. I had reached the end of my tether and I didn’t know what to do.” In her final desperation she looked at the Nature’s Sunshine catalogue. In studying the pages she came across Stress Pak. She picked up the phone an dialled Nature’s Sunshine at 1 800 265 9163 and ordered a Stress Pak. “ What have I got to lose ?” Within a short time the Stress Pak arrived and she began to take the little packets of Stress Pak which contained all kinds of marvellous herbal formulas designed specifically to alleviate physical pain and emotional stress. Within days of taking several paks of Stress Pak the anxiety , worry, and despair disappeared and the pain subsided; but most of all it became tolerable. “ It’s amazing as to how much better I feel. I am back to my old self.”

38. Urinary Tract Infection and Weight Loss

Terry had just completed a 3 day course with Donna Roth and she was all fired up about taking her health on ,in a big way . She was several pounds overweight, feeling fat and uncomfortable. She had in the past experienced urinary tract infections that created those horrible burning sensations whenever she went to the bathroom. Purchasing the book , Paleo Diet by Dr Cordain and the essential Nature’s Sunshine products was Terry’s first step. Now armed with knowledge and determination Terry started her herbal routine ;

Probiotic 11 , 2 capsules first thing in the morning,

A shake with frozen berries, whey protein as in NutriBurn and Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic,

Drinking lots of water and Chlorophyll to flush the system then exercise .

Sugar and grains were totally eliminated.

Parsley, Capsicum and Super Omega 3 were taken with each meal

These products were indicated by a Zyto scan and Donna Roth’s muscle testing technique. When the occasional hunger or craving struck Terry , she simply ate some almonds. Only one week into the program Terry, feeling quite confident and in control , started to feel that awful dreaded sensation of burning within the urinary tract, a feeling she had in the past identified with as a urinary tract infection. The thought of going to the doctor crossed her mind but only for an instant when she came to the realization that the only thing the doctor could do for her was to prescribe an antibiotic which she had succumbed to in the past. But not this time ! An absolute “AHA” moment hit her! “If I but feed my body what it really needs then my body will heal itself .” That statement struck her as profound and almost new founded ! The course had taught her to take control. to be empowered and to trust in the obvious. Yes her body would heal even without the antibiotics that she was taught to rely on in the past. The past was the past and this was no longer a part of her being. Terry had entered into the dark tunnel of the unknown . Would she live through this without antibiotics. Would these simple herbs really heal her body? All kinds of questions flooded her anxious mind. She dived into this program with purpose . She increased her water consumption with lots of Chlorophyll, she increased the Parsley especially designed for the kidneys to 8 capsules a day. The end was certainly nowhere in sight. The bloating was getting worse and the pain was in no way subsiding. Day three and still no results and things were now even worse than ever ! Fright was almost ready to take over. However, one thing was clear; quitting was not an option. The words from Donna’s course kept ringing in her ears, “Feed the body and allow the body to take its course of action and give it time to heal. Infections usually take about 3 to 7 days.” The morning of the fourth day finally arrived . Terry woke up to use the bathroom. The bloating was gone . The pain had subsided. The burning sensation was no longer there . In truth the urinary tract infection was gone! “ I had just crossed the threshold of the incredible ! I had cured my urinary tract infection without any antibiotics! “ Now onto the scale for the morning weigh–in : two pounds lighter and 5 pounds in total since starting the program one week ago. How empowering to know that your body will heal all on its own once you provide it with the nutrition it needs to do the healing!

41. Back pain / Kidney Problem

John had an excruciating pain in the lower back in the area of the kidney. His first gesture was to immediately call an ambulance. “ All they did , recalls John, “ is to give me a pain killer.” Now this just did not fix the problem and this same type of pain appeared a short time later. With the first experience in mind John simply took the pain killer without calling the ambulance as he stated, “ this is something I can do myself without their help.” The third time the pain appeared John decided the answer to the problem is definitely not a pain killer. This time his wife entered into the picture. As we all know wives usually have the wisdom it takes to solve many unsolved problems. However we also all know that two heads are better than one. Upon contemplation in regards to this issue his very wise wife gave John the answer,” Just call Donna Roth.” Wow what a brilliant idea ! Now enters Donna Roth with her vast amount of experience and analyses the situation. “ John, would you do the one day herbal kidney cleanse?” John with a willing heart and an opened mind emphatically replied, “Of course!” Shortly thereafter the necessary products appeared from Nature’s Sunshine and with Donna’s well defined instructions John began his new adventure.

Do You Have a Pathway to Health?
From Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll ,Alice was following a path through a forest in Wonderland when she came across a division in the pathway. There were two directions. She began to wonder which pathway she should choose when out of nowhere appeared a Cheshire Cat. She inquired of the Cheshire Cat the pathway she should take whereupon the Cat asked," Where do you want to go?” Alice replied," “I don't know!" “Then,” said that cat," it really doesn't matter does it!" For us as seekers of health on this Earth whether we want to sustain our present good health or we want to regain our health from some diagnosed disease the pathway we should take does matter.
There are no two directions to health. How grateful I am to have discovered the pathway to health and furthermore how grateful I am to the many others who, before me, have shown me the way. The health pathways are available to each and every one of us if we would but open our hearts to receive that simple message of health. Recently in doing a health presentation to a group of young adults the question was asked," What is health?" All answers were very vague and uncertain. Now if we do not understand the meaning of health it follows that we would not know which pathway we should choose to regain health . Let's look at Suzanne Somers author of many health related books. Even though Suzzanne was afflicted with cancer, today she is alive and well radiating with health because she chose the pathway of high dense quality nutritional and plant supplements. If only our past NDP leader Jack Layton had known this. If only our past Steve Jobs would have known this. Suzanne Somers understood health well .She knew that health is simply the manifestation of life. To be healthy is to be filled with the power of the life force, of vitality. Where does this vital force come from? It comes from light, from sunlight. Plants absorb the light of the sun, the water from the earth and the carbon dioxide from the air and through the process of photosynthesis convert the well-known elements from Earth as listed on our Periodical Table into living forms of minerals that give life force and vitality and energies to our bodies. Carbon Dioxide plus Water plus Elements equals Carbohydrates plus Oxygen Health then comes from nutrition and nutrition is plant food and animal food that import life energy to our bodies. As long as there is life energy the body has the capacity to affect healing. Healing is a function of the forces of life and light working inside our bodies. Healing never comes from outside the body, not from drugs, not from vaccinations, not from chemotherapy etc. Only the life force within our bodies can ever heal anything. Therefore health is vibrating life elements within us moving to provide us energy. It follows then that disease is the result of the loss of the vibrating life energy. Knowing the pathway to health is so very empowering and for those who have found this pathway health will be their lasting reward. And there have been many who in the past had been afflicted with serious degenerative conditions ,who have chosen the pathway of health and today live with abundance of life and energy sharing this pathway with those who have opened their hearts and minds. I think of Diane ,a pianist, who 25 years ago was forced to give up her passion of playing piano because she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Did she choose to succumb to the pits of despair? No. She chose the life force pathway eating life giving foods and Nature’s Sunshine herbals. As I write she has been free of any symptoms of MS for over 20 years. Then I think of the hundred plus, many mentioned in my book ,Practical Solution to the Cancer Injury who no longer have cancer .They chose the pathway of health ,the pathway of life force foods using Nature’s Sunshine herbals. I think of Sheena, at 25 years old, who was given only two months to live, with her second bout of cancer in 1998. Today she is alive and well and radiant in energy because she chose the pathway of life force, the pathway of health and used a Nature’s Sunshine Herbal program. I think of Deb up there in the mountains suffering from a serious infected wound and blood poisoning from a dog bite. What did she rely on to clear up her infection? It was Natures Sunshine Cat’s Claw Combination and Silver Guard. Within two days her serious infection was totally cleared up.
Is it not time that we , too, come to know what health is? Is it not time that we start to empower our bodies with vitality and that life force that can provide strength and healing to our bodies? Is it not time that we share that message to empower others, our families, our friends, our neighbors to do the same, to understand this vital formula. Plants equals Life Force equals Vitality equals Health Choosing the pathway to health means” Your home is the clinic and you are the medic! “
Your home, the clinic, requires some essential items.
Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic, a powerful vital mineral beverage from plant sources that light all electrical structures in your body.
Cat’s Claw Combination opens up the lymphatic system and clears up all kinds of congestion and nasty infections.
Silver Guard kills microbial , viral , fungal and bacterial infections. Silver in its nano particle state is able to make stem cells in your bloodstream.
ArgininePlus , a new product are sparks of amino acids to enhance circulation and prevent aging.
Super Trio pocket ready convenient packs of vitamin, minerals, essential fatty acids and antioxidants
Stress Pack for those times of shock, trauma, or stressed.
Chlorophyll that hemoglobin manufacturer for your blood. It comes in capsules or liquid.

Excerpt from Shawn Buckley

"And in preparing for that I wanted to show the court that he was telling the truth. And what happened was, obviously he was a little herbalist at the time, there were no double blind clinical studies or anything like that. But he gave me literally thousands of letters that people wrote just saying, listen I had heart disease, I took your heart drops and I got well. Now I couldn't use those letters, as evidence in court because that's what's called hearsay. But I could call the authors of the letters. And so in preparing for the trial, on the trial day, I actually had five middle class professionals, who had all had heart disease, they had all had at least one open heart by-pass surgery, they all then continued to have heart disease because the mainstream system wasn't addressing why their arteries were clogging, and they all needed another open heart by-pass surgery to survive.



And here's where they differed, a couple of them were not willing to go through it again, they had had so many complications, and it would just buy them a short period of time anyways so they just said "No. Sorry I am not doing that, I would just rather die." And a couple of the others were just too weak that the doctors ethically couldn't put them through the surgery, they weren't likely to survive. All of them were not into natural health but now the mainstream system was a dead end for them. So they all turned to the natural health community, they all came across these heart drops, usually through a naturopathic doctors, and they all became well, they all went back to work, none of them had been able to work.



And that experience changed my thinking because when I was acting for Health Canada against this herbalist, I had what really is a mainstream view that if something isn't regulated by the government then it shouldn't be allowed on the market. I mean if I said, now I'm just going to dramatize here:



"Do you mean that some rogue herbalist could sell something that is unapproved of by Health Canada? Doesn't that sound dangerous?



That's the mind set I had. But in preparing for that trial I had to come to the exact opposite conclusion about those heart drops. The danger was removing them from the market. And at the time, this was about twelve years ago, I could have given you the names, addresses and phone numbers of literally thousands of Canadians whose lives depended on those heart drops. And it forced me to do a re-think, because for them, Health Canada's actions in trying to take them away actually presented an extremely significant danger, and it raised in my mind for the first time, wait a second, people have to be able to take responsibility for their own health. It's fine for the government to educate us, and watch out for the things that are truly dangerous but to say you can't have something because we haven't approved it, when your life depends on it, is a very different issue. And that's what woke me up to it, was actually that experience. And so ironically, it was Health Canada that created that experien
