By Dr. Mercola

    The top 10 leading causes of death cost the US economy $1.1 trillion, including
not only direct medical care but also the indirect loss of productivity.

    Employers are not only feeling these effects when their workers become
chronically sick or unproductive but also via health insurance costs, which
continue to outpace inflation and earnings growth.

    Yet, many of the leading causes of death, including cancer, heart disease,
diabetes, and even infectious diseases like the flu can be warded off by a healthy
lifestyle; imagine the lowered death toll, not to mention costs to the economy and
employers, if more people decided to take control of their health

    Many companies are, in fact, starting to realize the significant impact employee
wellness has on their bottom-line and are instituting various employee wellness
programs as a result.

Employee Wellness Programs May Save Millions of Dollars a Year on 
Health Care

    In 2008, $1.6 billion was spent on healthcare for state employees in California
alone. Twenty-two percent of this was for treating high blood pressure, heart
disease, stroke and kidney disease  ailments that can be largely prevented through
diet and exercise.

    According to a study by the Urban Institute, if dietary and exercise changes
reduced the prevalence of these conditions by even 5-15 percent  a conservative
estimate  the state would save up to $54 million per year.

    The California Department of Public Health and the Department of Health Care
Services is now working on implementing a worksite wellness program for its
workers that is designed to give flexibility to scheduling, allowing workers to attend
onsite exercise classes during their lunch hour, for instance.

    At Blue Shield of California, meanwhile, a worksite wellness program has re-
organized food in the cafeteria, providing easier access to healthful items, and also
provides employees with a gym and exercise classes at no charge.

    There are even treadmill desks and stand-up workstations, giving employees a
chance to stay active during their workdays. Four out of five Blue Shield of CA
employees have taken part in the program, and the results speak for themselves:

        From 2008 to 2012, regular physical activity increased by 32 percent
        Rates of high blood pressure decreased by 66 percent
        Smoking rates dropped by 48 percent

Making Wellness Programs Accessible to Employees Is Key

    Implementing a comprehensive company wellness program is a win-win for
both the employers and employees, but successfully getting employees to actively
participate in the program is key. This means designing them to actually make it
realistic for employees to participate. As written by one public-health specialist in
The Atlantic

        My family's experience with worksite wellness programs is typical of many.
We were given a small incentive to complete an online baseline health risk
assessment, and then given recommendations on how we could be healthier. We
each got calls from a nurse to discuss these recommendations, but neither of us had
the time for that in the  midst of our busy workdays.

        Worksite wellness programs won't save employers money -- and may in fact
further drive up costs -- if they aren't designed to help employees actually change
their habits.

    Companies are well advised to take a simple survey to find out which programs
most interest their employees, and provide positive incentives for participating.
CVS’ Caremark, for instance, has actually fined employees $600 for not under-
going an annual wellness review, a step that is virtually guaranteed to have a
negative rather than positive impact on employee morale.

    An example of a positive incentive program that would attract workers is a point-
based reward system, which doesn’t have employees competing with each other.
Instead, employees are rewarded points that can be used for cash bonuses, free travel,
shopping sprees, a month supply of healthy groceries, and/or gift certificates, for
example. Making company announcements on employee successes also helps
encourage and inspire others to participate in wellness at the workplace. Health care
insurance companies are also utilizing incentive programs. When companies
implement wellness programs, insurance companies lower their premiums.

 Empowering wellness programs and simple tools that focus on preventative
health that Mercola.com and other companies offer to assist their employees in
lifestyle modification include:

  1.  Fitness Programs

        Onsite gym with a variety of workout equipment and free-weights

        Classes in yoga, dance, aerobics, Tai Chi, etc.

        Onsite trainers and class instructors to help employees customize their
         workouts

        Paid off-site gym memberships

        Organized office team sports and activities: bowling, softball, group walks
        during breaks, bicycling, weekend  hikes, etc.
       
        Encourage staff to use the stairs instead of taking the elevator
       
        Provide a secure site for bicycles to encourage cycling commuters

  2.  Healthy Work Place Food Choices

        Cater office lunches by local health food stores  providing organic foods

        Offer gift certificates to local organic restaurants  and/or health food stores

        Provide organic tea and coffee

        Replace processed food and soda vending machine choices  with sparkling/
        mineral water, nuts, dried fruits and other healthier choices

   3. Educational Seminars and Classes (at lunch or after hours)

        Offer classes by local chefs on how to prepare healthy meals, preparing proper
        food portions, and how to create healthy snacks

        Offer educational courses by local experts and/or authors on specific related
        topics


   4. Mental and Emotional Tune-ups

        Onsite health clinics offering: chiropractic, physical therapy, chair massage,
        nutritionists, etc.
           
        Discounts or free services provided by an alliance of  off-site specialist

        Employee Assistant Program providing confidential  access for employees
        and their immediate family members to professional counseling services
        for short-term help           in confronting such personal challenges as: alcohol
        and other substanc abuse; marital and family difficulties; financial or legal
        issues, and emotional distress

        Also provide appropriate referrals to community and  private services for
        long-term challenges

Is Your Workplace Lacking a Wellness Program?

    Many small and large companies are embracing wellness programs to help lower
health care costs and create a healthier office culture but some have yet to see the
light. If your employer has yet to implement such options, you (or even better a
group of your colleagues) may want to introduce the idea to the human resources
department or another key decision-maker in the company.

    When doing so, let them know that nearly 70 percent of costs associated with
health care are due to preventable conditions and that new data indicates that
companies who have moved away from managing the cost of illness and instead
support their employees abilities to manage their health have lowered company
risk for large catastrophic health care claims, and will pay less in health care costs
in the long run.

    As an example, IBM spends more than $1.3 billion a year on health care for the
450,000 employees, retirees, and family members it covers in the US. Their
long-term investment in empowering their employees to be proactive in adopting
healthier behaviors has paid off; their wellness program saved the company $190
million in health care costs, according to a 2009 report.

 No Time to Exercise at Work?

    Hopefully your place of employment will be receptive to implementing a
wellness program if it doesn’t already have one in place. If not, at least inquire
about adjusting your working hours so that your schedule allows you to take
control of your health when you’re not at work (such as working from home a
couple of days a week or lengthening your work days to work a four-day week).

    If you can’t exercise during your lunch hour or other breaks at work, you’ll need
to fit it in elsewhere. Viewing exercise as a non-negotiable part of your day is really
the trick to getting it done. Ideally, schedule it into your appointment book the way
you would an important meeting or social event. Set the time for it and then make
no excuses about keeping it. Some options to add more activity to your day easily
include:

        Walk or bicycle to and from work

        Walk your child to school, but recognize you will need far more intense exercise
        than walking to achieve any major benefits

        Be active in and around your home -- use the stairs to exercise, work in the
        garden, or install some gym equipment

    These are all excellent recommendations. However, I recommend not settling
there, but continuing and implementing a well-rounded fitness program to really
optimize your health benefits. This includes high-intensity interval-type training
like Peak Fitness, which gives you a phenomenal workout in just 20 minutes a
few times a week.

    Wellness in the workplace definitely matters, and many companies are moving
toward this healthier, happier office culture. If, however, your workplace is not and
you can’t find employment elsewhere, it becomes all the more important for you to
implement a wellness program in your life outside of work.

Tips for Avoiding Alzheimer's Disease

    The beauty of following my revised Nutrition Plan is that it
helps treat and prevent all chronic degenerative diseases, from
the common ones like heart disease, diabetes, obesity and
Alzheimer's to the ones you have never heard of or can't even
pronounce. So please read the Plan as soon as you can. It is
divided into three helpful sections, Beginner, Intermediate and
Advanced to help you start at the right level.

    The plan is the first step in addressing Alzheimer's disease,
which is currently at epidemic proportions, with 5.4 million
Americans including one in eight people aged 65 and over
living with the disease.

    Remember, while memory loss is indeed common among
Westerners, it is NOT a "normal" part of aging, and cognitive
changes are by no means inevitable. People who experience
very little decline in their cognitive function up until their deaths
have been found (post-mortem) to be free of brain lesions,
showing that it's entirely possible to prevent the damage from
occurring in the first place… and one of the best ways to do this
is by leading a healthy lifestyle.

        Sugar and Fructose. Ideally, you’ll want to keep your sugar
levels to a minimum and your total fructose below 25 grams
per day, or as low as 15 grams per day if you have insulin
resistance or any related disorders.

        Improve magnesium levels. There is some exciting
preliminary research strongly suggesting a decrease in Alzheimer
symptoms with increased levels of magnesium in the brain.

Unfortunately, most magnesium supplements do not pass the blood
brain levels, but a new one, magnesium threonate, appears to and
holds some promise for the future for treating this condition and
may be superior to other forms.

        Optimize your vitamin D levels with safe sun exposure.
Strong links between low levels of vitamin D in Alzheimer's
patients and poor outcomes on cognitive tests have been revealed.
Researchers believe that optimal vitamin D levels may enhance the
amount of important chemicals in your brain and protect brain
cells by increasing the effectiveness of the glial cells in nursing
damaged neurons back to health.

        Vitamin D may also exert some of its beneficial effects
on Alzheimer's through its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting
properties. Sufficient vitamin D is imperative for proper
functioning of your immune system to combat inflammation that is
also associated with Alzheimer's.

        Keep your fasting insulin levels below 3. This is indirectly
related to fructose, as it will clearly lead to insulin resistance. However
other sugars (sucrose is 50 percent fructose by weight), grains and lack
of exercise are also important factors. Lowering insulin will also help
lower leptin levels which is another factor for Alzheimer’s.

        Vitamin B12: In addition to the research presented above,
a small Finnish study published in the journal Neurology also
found that people who consume foods rich in B12 may reduce their
risk of Alzheimer's in their later years. For each unit increase
in the marker of vitamin B12, the risk of developing Alzheimer's
was reduced by two percent. Remember sublingual methylcobalamin
may be your best bet here.

        Eat a nutritious diet, rich in folate, such as the one  described
in my nutrition plan. Vegetables, without question, are your best
form of folate, and we should all eat plenty of fresh raw veggies
every day. Avoid supplements with folic acid, which is the inferior
synthetic version of folate.

        High-quality animal-based omega-3 fats, such as krill oil.
(I recommend avoiding most fish because, although fish is
naturally high in omega-3, most fish are now severely
contaminated with mercury.) High intake of the omega-3 fats
EPA and DHA help by preventing cell damage caused by
Alzheimer's disease, thereby slowing down its progression,
and lowering your risk of developing the disorder.

        Avoid and eliminate mercury from your body. Dental
amalgam fillings, which are 50 percent mercury by weight, are
one of the major sources of heavy metal toxicity. However
you should be healthy prior to having them removed. Once you
have adjusted to following the diet described in my optimized
nutrition plan, you can follow the mercury detox protocol and
then find a biological dentist to have your amalgams removed.

        Avoid aluminum, such as antiperspirants, non-stick
cookware, vaccine adjuvants, etc.

        Exercise regularly. It's been suggested that exercise can
trigger a change in the way the amyloid precursor protein is
metabolized, thus, slowing down the onset and progression of
Alzheimer's. Exercise also increases levels of the protein PGC-
1alpha. Research has also shown that people with Alzheimer's
have less PGC-1alpha in their brains11 and cells that contain
more of the protein produce less of the toxic amyloid protein
associated with Alzheimer's. I would strongly recommend
reviewing the Peak Fitness Technique for my specific
recommendations.

        Avoid flu vaccinations as most contain both mercury and
aluminum, well-known neurotoxic and immunotoxic agents.

        Eat blueberries. Wild blueberries, which have high
anthocyanin and antioxidant content, are known to guard against
Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases. Like any fruit
though, avoid excesses here.

        Challenge your mind daily. Mental stimulation, especially
learning something new, such as learning to play an instrument
or a new language, is associated with a decreased risk of
Alzheimer's. Researchers suspect that mental challenge helps to
build up your brain, making it less susceptible to the lesions
associated with Alzheimer's disease.

        Avoid anticholinergic and statin drugs. Drugs that block
acetylcholine, a nervous system neurotransmitter, have been
shown to increase your risk of dementia. These drugs include
certain nighttime pain relievers, antihistamines, sleep aids,
certain antidepressants, medications to control incontinence,
and certain narcotic pain relievers.

        Statin drugs are particularly problematic because they
suppress the synthesis of cholesterol, deplete your brain of
coenzyme Q10 and neurotransmitter precursors, and prevent
adequate delivery of essential fatty acids and fat-soluble
antioxidants to your brain by inhibiting the production of the
indispensable carrier biomolecule known as low-density
lipoprotein.

Other Natural Treatments for Your Anti-Alzheimer's Arsenal

    Finally, there are a few other nutritional recommendations
worth noting for their specific benefits in preventing and
treating dementia. So, although your fundamental strategy for
preventing dementia should involve a comprehensive lifestyle
approach, you may want to consider adding a few of these natural
dietary agents to your anti-Alzheimer's arsenal. These four
natural foods/supplements have good science behind them, in terms
of preventing age-related cognitive changes:

        Coconut Oil: The primary fuel your brain needs for energy
is glucose. However, your brain is able to run on more than a
single type of fuel, one being ketones (ketone bodies), or
ketoacids. Ketones are what your body produces when it converts
fat (as opposed to glucose) into energy.

        The medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) found in coconut oil
are GREAT source of ketone bodies, because coconut oil is about
66 percent MCTs. In fact, ketones appear to be the preferred
source of brain food in patients affected by diabetes or
Alzheimer's.

        Astaxanthin is a natural pigment with unique properties
and many clinical benefits, including some of the most potent
antioxidant activity currently known. As a fat-soluble nutrient,
astaxanthin readily crosses your blood-brain barrier. One study
found it may help prevent neurodegeneration associated with
oxidative stress, as well as make a potent natural "brain food."

        The molecules of astaxanthin neutralize free radicals and
other oxidants without being destroyed or becoming pro-oxidants
themselves in the process. It's is a unique molecule whose shape
allows it to precisely fit into a cell membrane and span its entire
width. In this position, astaxanthin can intercept potentially
damaging molecules before they can damage your cells.

        You can get some astaxanthin by taking krill oil, which
is a fantastic omega-3 fat supplement. But you can boost your
astaxanthin even MORE by adding a pure astaxanthin supplement
to your nutritional regimen. For optimal absorption, make sure to
take krill oil and/or astaxanthin with a fat-containing meal, since
both are fat-soluble.

        Gingko biloba: Many scientific studies have found that
Gingko biloba has positive effects for dementia. Gingko, which
is derived from a tree native to Asia, has long been used
medicinally in China and other countries. A 1997 study from
JAMA showed clear evidence that Gingko improves cognitive
 performance and social functioning for those suffering from
dementia.

        Research since then has been equally promising. One study
in 2006 found Gingko as effective as the dementia drug Aricept
(donepezil) for treating mild to moderate Alzheimer's type
dementia. A 2010 meta-analysis found Gingko biloba to be
effective for a variety of types of dementia.

        Alpha lipoic acid (ALA): ALA can stabilize cognitive
functions among Alzheimer's patients and may slow the progression
of the disease.

Vitamins Offer Hope for Alzheimer's

By  Dr. Mercola


    In the United States, Alzheimer's disease is currently at epidemic proportions,
with 5.4 million Americans including one ineight people aged 65 and over living
with the disease, according to the Alzheimer's Association's 2011 Alzheimer's
Disease Facts and Figures.

    By 2050, this is expected to jump to 16 million, and in the next 20 years, it
is projected that Alzheimer's will affect onein four Americans, rivaling the
current prevalence of obesity and diabetes.

    There is still no known cure for this devastating disease, and very few
treatments. Alzheimer's drugs are often of little to no benefit at all, which
underscores the importance of prevention throughout your lifetime.

    Research repeatedly suggests the best hope for patients lies in prevention
through optimal diet, exercise and staying socially and mentally active. As
recently reported by Forbes

        [A] new study in Science suggested that last year’s ‘breakthrough
pharmaceutical, bexarotene (Targretin) a cancer drug that had initially
received wide publicity for helping break up the plaques in Alzheimer’s
doesn’t seem to do this very well at all, and can have significant adverse side
effects for the patient.

        ‘Something happened in that initial report either something technically
or otherwise, which we can’t put our hands on at this point in time, study
author Sangram Sisodia told US News & World Report. ‘Something is seriously
wrong.’

    While memory loss is common among Westerners, it is NOT a "normal" part
of aging. Research has shown that even mild "senior moments" are caused by
the same brain lesions associated with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of
dementia. These cognitive changes are by no means inevitable!

    People who experience very little decline in their cognitive function up until
their deaths have been found (post-mortem) to be free of brain lesions, showing
that it's entirely possible to prevent the damage from occurring in the first place.
At the end of this article, I share my best tips for maintaining healthy brain
function well into old age.

    In recent years, researchers studying natural compounds have offered new hope.
For example, two recent studies suggest that compounds in cinnamon, as well as
vitamins B12, B6, and folate may delay the onset and/or slow progression of the
disease.

The Promise of Cinnamon and Vitamins in the Fight Against Alzheimer’s Disease

    The first study in question, published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease,
found that cinnamaldehyde and epicatechin, two compounds found in cinnamon,
have an inhibitory effect on the aggregation of a particular protein called tau. Tau
plays a large role in the structure and function of neurons.

    But while a normal part of cell structures, this protein can begin to accumulate,
forming neurofibrillary tangles that are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Both
compounds were found to protect tau from oxidative damage that can lead to
dysfunction.

    Donald Graves, adjunct professor in UCSB's Department of Molecular, Cellular,
and Developmental Biology and co-author of the study explained the protective
process to Medical News Today

        "'Take, for example, sunburn, a form of oxidative damage. If you wore a hat,
you could protect your face and head from the oxidation. In a sense this
cinnamaldehyde is like a cap. While it can protect the tau protein by binding to its
vulnerable cysteine residues, it can also come off,' Graves added, which can ensure
the proper functioning of the protein.

    It’s interesting to note that there’s a high correlation between type 2 diabetes
and Alzheimer's disease. Some even believe Alzheimer’s may be a form of brain
diabetes. Insulin and insulin receptors in your brain are crucial for learning and
memory, and it’s known that these components are lower in people with
Alzheimer’s disease.

    In addition to the above findings, cinnamon has also been found to
have beneficial effects on blood glucose management in type 2 diabetics. This is
one of the reasons I include cinnamon in my healthy coconut candy recipe.

B Vitamins Again Show Promise in Alzheimer’s Prevention

    The other study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,
found that vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid may help slow the progression of the
disease, confirming and supporting previous studies. As reported in the featured
article

        The fact that B-family vitamins may play a significant role in dementia, or more
specifically in warding it off has been consistently illustrated. What is news from the
current study, however, is that high-dose B-vitamin treatment in people at risk for
the disease slowed shrinkage of whole brain volume,  and especially reduced
shrinkage in areas known to be affected in Alzheimer’s disease.

    The 156 study participants, all of whom were over the age of 70, were diagnosed
with mild cognitive impairment. This, along with midlife hypertension, midlife
obesity and diabetes, is a known risk factor for Alzheimer’s. One group of
participants received a placebo while the other received high-dose B-vitamin
treatment consisting of:

        0.8 mg folic acid
        20 mg vitamin B6
        0.5 mg vitamin B12

    It is important to note that vitamin B12 comes in many forms and it is typically
injected because it is not absorbed well by most people, especially in the elderly who
need it most. This is due to it being one of the largest vitamins known. The most
common form is cyanocobalamin but a better from would be methylcobalamin. A
better alternative to B12 injections would also be sublingual sprays, which are
absorbed very similarly to the injections.

    The treatment effectively slowed shrinkage of the whole brain volume over the
course of two years. It also reduced, by as much as seven-fold, the cerebral
atrophy in certain brain regions that are particularly vulnerable to damage
associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Another major boon: The supplements cost
less than 50 cents a day and are readily available in pharmacies and health-food
stores. In the placebo group, higher homocysteine levels at baseline were associated
with faster atrophy in these same regions. According to the researchers

        We... show that the beneficial effect of B vitamins is confined to participants
with high homocysteine... and that, in these participants, a causal Bayesian network
analysis indicates the following chain of events: B vitamins lower homocysteine,
which directly leads to a decrease in gray matter atrophy, thereby slowing cognitive
decline.

        Our results show that B-vitamin supplementation can slow the atrophy of
specific brain regions that are a key component of the AD process and that are
associated with cognitive decline.

    Dr. A. David Smith, professor emeritus of pharmacology at Oxford University,
founding director of the Oxford Project to Investigate Memory and Ageing, and
senior author of the study told Bloomberg News that this B-vitamin treatment is the
first and only disease-modifying treatment that’s worked. We have proved the
concept that you can modify the disease. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to
anyone who understands that without proper nutrition and exercise, your brain will
be increasingly vulnerable to damage with age...

Vitamin B Cocktail Already Used for Dementia Prevention in Sweden    Three
years ago, the same group of researchers showed that the atrophy rate in patients
whole brains was reduced by about 30 percent in those taking the vitamin cocktail.
The atrophy rate was even higher 53 percent in those who had elevated
homocysteine levels, a benefit that was reconfirmed in the featured study.

According to Bloomberg

        The studies, known as Vitacog, were funded by seven charities and government
agencies and vitamin maker Meda AB of Solna, Sweden. Smith is an inventor on
three patents held by Oxford University for B vitamin formulations to treat
Alzheimer’s disease... Vitamin B12 is found in liver, fish and milk and folic acid in
fruit and vegetables. Deficiency of folate and B vitamins is already linked to
dementia...

        Doctors in Sweden began measuring homocysteine in people who report
declining memory about two years ago, said [Johan] Lokk [professor and head
physician in the geriatric department at Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden,
who wasn’t involved in the study]...

        Swedish patients with high homocysteine are given folic acid and B vitamins,
even if they aren’t deficient. ‘We think the increased homocysteine level could be
deleterious to the brain, Lokk said. ‘We wanted to be on the offensive in diagnosing
and treating patients. In our opinion, it is harmless and cheap.

General Anesthesia Could Increase Risk of Dementia in Elderly by 35 Percent

    Related research suggests that being exposed to general anesthesia can increase
the risk of dementia in the elderly by as much as 35 percent. The research was
presented at the annual congress of the European Society of Anesthesiology (ESA).
As reported by Medical News Today

        Postoperative cognitive dysfunction, or POCD, could be associated with
dementia several years later. POCD is a common complication in elderly patients
after major surgery. It has been proposed that there is an association between
POCD and the development of dementia due to a common pathological mechanism
through the amyloid ß peptide. Several experimental studies suggest that some
anesthetics could promote inflammation of neural tissues leading to POCD and/or
Alzheimer's disease (AD) precursors including ß-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary
tangles.

    Participants aged 65 and over were followed for a total of 10 years. Participants
exposed to at least one general anesthetic over the follow-up had a 35 percent
increased risk of developing a dementia compared to those who were not exposed
to anesthesia.

According to lead researcher Dr. Francois Sztark

        "These results are in favor of an increased risk for dementia several years after
general anesthesia. Recognition of POCD is essential in the perioperative
management of elderly patients. A long-term follow-up of these patients should be
planned."

When you see a chart of orthodox medicine 5 year cure rates, you might
see a number like: 45%, meaning 45% of cancer patients for this particular
cancer lived 5 years after diagnosis.

There are many statistical tricks that are used to get to this 45% figure,
but even if this number were accurate (which it is not), even this number
is worthless. I will explain why.

When you see a number like 45% you are supposed to think in your mind
this thought: The cure rate for those who refuse all orthodox treatments,
and refuse all alternative treatments, is 0%. That is what they want you
to think.In other words, they want you to think that the difference
between refusing all treatments and using chemotherapy, etc. is 45%. You
are supposed to think: a 45% 5 year cure rate for orthodox medicine, minus
a 0% 5 year cure rate for those who refuse all treatments, equals a difference
of 45%. You are supposed to think that orthodox treatments are superbly
beneficial because they are 45% effective.

But what is the truth? What if the 5 year cure rate for those who refused
all treatments was 50%? If that were the case, then 5% those who go on
orthodox treatments would die before the 5 years is up, whereas they would
not have died if they had refused all treatments. Would this statistic cause
people to run to the nearest hospital to have chemotherapy? Of course not.

My point is that orthodox medicine doesn’t want you to know the 5 year
cure rate for those who refuse all treatments and they especially don’t
want you to know the 5 year cure rate for those who go on alternative
treatments. Even though there are many people who refuse all treatments,
this statistic is not kept. Why? Because they don’t want you to know that
orthodox cancer treatments only have an overall REAL cure rate of 3%.

But what would be the REAL cure rate be of those who refused all
treatments?? They don’t want you to know that number.

When the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation are taken into
account, people would demand that orthodox treatments are at least 15%
higher, or more, than for those who refuse all treatments or go on
alternative cancer treatments. That statistic will never be calculated by
orthodox medicine.

This 3% number does not mean that there would be an overall difference
of 3% on a 5 year cure rate basis (that is too short of a time to evaluate
orthodox treatments), it means that when all the dust settles, only 3% of
the patients have actually been cured with orthodox treatments. But what
would this cure rate be if people did not take any orthodox cancer
treatments and ate better foods, such as a lot of carrots?

Now do you understand why orthodox medicine uses so many 
statistical tricks?

By far the most important statistics you need to know in order to make an
informed decision are suppressed and not kept. Why? Because they don’t
want you to make the obvious choice of going with alternative medicine
instead of orthodox medicine. But going with alternative medicine requires
a lot of homework on your part to make sure you go on the right
alternative cancer treatments.

More will be said about the suppression of data in a moment. More on
Treating the Symptoms of Cancer

Dr. Philip Binzel, M.D., a medical doctor who used alternative cancer
treatments, discussed several key issues relative to the treatment of
the symptoms of cancer. Let us look at a longer version of a quote
that was mentioned earlier:

    “When a patient is found to have a tumor, the only thing the doctor
discusses with that patient is what he intends to do about the tumor. If
a patient with a tumor is receiving radiation or chemotherapy, the only
question that is asked is, “How is the tumor doing? No one ever asks
how the patient is doing. In my medical training, I remember well seeing
patients who were getting radiation and/or chemotherapy. The tumor
would get smaller and smaller, but the patient would be getting sicker
and sicker. At autopsy we would hear, Isn’t that marvelous! The tumor
is gone! Yes, it was, but so was the patient. How many millions of times
are we going to have to repeat these scenarios before we realize that we
are treating the wrong thing?

    In primary cancer, with only a few exceptions, the tumor is neither
health-endangering nor life-threatening. I am going to repeat that
statement. In primary cancer, with few exceptions, the tumor is neither
health-endangering nor life-threatening. What is health-endangering and
life-threatening is the spread of that disease through the rest of the body.

    There is nothing in surgery that will prevent the spread of cancer.
There is nothing in radiation that will prevent the spread of the disease.
There is nothing in chemotherapy that will prevent the spread of the
disease. How do we know? Just look at the statistics! There is a statistic
known as “survival time. Survival time is defined as that interval of
time between when the diagnosis of cancer is first made in a given
patient and when that patient dies from his disease.

    In the past fifty years, tremendous progress has been made in the early
diagnosis of cancer. In that period of time, tremendous progress had been
made in the surgical ability to remove tumors. Tremendous progress has
been made in the use of radiation and chemotherapy in their ability to
shrink or destroy tumors. But, the survival time of the cancer patient today
is no greater than it was fifty years ago. What does this mean? It obviously
means that we are treating the wrong thing!

    We are treating the symptom  the tumor, and we are doing absolutely
nothing to prevent the spread of the disease. The only thing known to
mankind today that will prevent the spread of cancer within the body is
for that body’s own defense mechanisms to once again function normally.
That’s what nutritional therapy does. It treats the defense mechanism, not
the tumor.

    The woman with a lump in her breast is not going to die from that lump.
The man with a nodule in his prostate gland is not going to die from that
nodule. What may kill both of those people is the spread of that disease
through the rest of their bodies. They got their disease because of a
breakdown of their defense mechanisms.

    The only thing that is going to prevent the spread of their disease is to
correct the problem in those defense mechanisms. Doesn’t it seem logical
then, that we should be a lot less concerned with “What are we going to
do about the tumor?” and a lot more concerned about what we are going
to do about their defense mechanisms?
    Philip Binzel, M.D., Alive and Well, Chapter 14

I want to emphasize a key point in that quote. Orthodox medicine treats
symptoms. They would have you believe that the tumor is the cancer. The
tumor is not the cancer. The tumor is a symptom of a symptom. A tumor
is a symptom of cancer and cancer is frequently a symptom of a weakened
immune system. Is it best to treat the symptom of the symptom or is it
best to treat the cause?

Alternative cancer treatments focus on building the immune system,
selectively killing cancer cells and sometimes on converting cancerous
cells into normal cells. Alternative cancer treatments are usually not
interested in shrinking tumors. Why? Because if you safely kill the
cancer cells in a tumor, and throughout the rest of the body, the tumor
is as harmless as your little finger, even if the tumor tissue is still there.
It is not the tumor tissue that is dangerous, it is the cancer cells.

And therein lies one of the major differences between orthodox medicine
and alternative medicine. Orthodox medicine focuses on the size of the
tumor, alternative medicine focuses on the cancer cells in the tumor.

Many alternative cancer treatments do not shrink the size of tumors.
Some do shrink the size of tumors, but some do not. So what? If the
cancer cells in a tumor are dead, the cancer will not spread and the
tumor is harmless.

This is what Dr. Binzel was talking about when he stated that orthodox
medicine was treating the wrong thing.

Only if the tumor is pressing on another organ, or is blocking some bodily
function, is the tumor dangerous. But in that case the tumor’s danger has
nothing to do with cancer.

Another interesting thing in that quote is that nothing that orthodox
medicine does treats the spread of the cancer. While it is true that some
chemotherapy is designed to kill fast spreading cells in the body,
chemotherapy always kills far more normal cells than cancer cells, Many
normal cells in the body are fast spreading and are killed by chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy would almost always kill the patient long before it would kill
all of the cancer cells in a body.

Let Us Count The Ways

There are some things in the above quotes that may have
shocked you. The concept that people will die more quickly
if they have surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments
may surprise some people. How is it possible that people
who go through treatments can die quicker than people who
refuse treatments?

In fact, there are many ways that orthodox cancer treatments
can kill a cancer patient long before they would have died
without treatment of any kind. For example:

    Malnutrition #1: About 40% of cancer patients die of
malnutrition before they would have died of their cancer.
Two of the causes of this malnutrition, which are related to
chemotherapy, will now be discussed: First, chemotherapy
makes a person very nauseous and causes them to throw-up.
This causes many people to develop anorexia  the loss of
appetite or desire to eat. This situation is not good at all
because it can lead to a condition known as cancer cachexia
a wasting syndrome characterized by weakness and a noticeable
continuous loss of weight, fat, and muscle. Cachexia is a
common cause of death of cancer patients.

    Malnutrition #2: Second, chemotherapy destroys the lining
of the digestive tract of many cancer patients, making it
impossible for the body to absorb the nutrients of the foods
they eat, leading to malnutrition. As one person put it, even
if a cancer patient eats like a king, they can literally die
of malnutrition.

    Destroys the immune system: Because chemotherapy and
radiation destroy a person’s immune system, many cancer
patients die of opportunistic infections, such as sepsis or
pneumonia. As a side note, more than 200,000 Americans a
year die of sepsis. When a cancer patient dies of sepsis it is
most likely because chemotherapy destroyed the patient’s
immune system, allowing sepsis to easily kill the patient. It
may be counted as a sepsis death, not a cancer death. This is
just one of many ways that the medical community can hide the
true statistics of chemotherapy and radiation.

    Destroys the immune system: Because chemotherapy and
radiation kill white blood cells (white blood cells are the
body’s natural defense against cancer), chemotherapy and
radiation destroy not only a body’s natural defense against
the cancer they currently have, it also destroys the body’s
defense against new cancers.

    Destroys Red Blood Cells: Because chemotherapy and
radiation kill red blood cells (red blood cells carry oxygen
to the cancer cells and oxygen helps keep cancer from
spreading), cancer cells do not get a normal supply of
oxygen. Since cancer cells are anaerobic, this allows them
to thrive and divide faster.

        So, if a Cancer patient is already Acidic & if Acid
drives out the oxygen causing an anaerobic atmosphere that
Cancer loves, how much sense does it make to take
Chemotherapy that will kill more of your oxygen carrying Red
Blood Cells? By a matter of deduction and the use of common
sense once again, wouldn’t that create an even more anaerobic
atmosphere and provide an even more desirable situation for
Cancer to wreak havoc?

    Kill a Vital Organ: Chemotherapy and radiation frequently
kill a vital organ of a patient, such as the liver or heart.
One metal found in at least three types of chemotherapy is
virtually guaranteed to kill the patient of heart disease.

Once the damage is done, nothing, not even alternative cancer
treatments, can save the patient.

    Helps Spread the Cancer: Surgical biopsies can release
cancer cells into the blood stream, causing the possibility
that the biopsy will cause the cancer to spread, meaning
metastasize. Some cancer surgeries can also cause cancer
cells to get into the blood stream, especially if the surgery
does not get all of the cancer cells.

    Chemotherapy is Carcinogenic: Chemotherapy and radiation
can dramatically increase the probability that a person will
get certain types of cancer. For example, many women treated
by chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer later develop
uterine cancer. Chemotherapy drugs are not only toxic, they
are carcinogenic.

    Lose the Will To Live: Many cancer patients are so
devastated by the sickness and nausea orthodox treatments
give them, that they lose the will to live, meaning they lose
the will to keep fighting their cancer.

Now are you surprised that the three major studies mentioned
above all yielded the same conclusion: there is no scientific
evidence that orthodox treatments extend the total life of
most cancer patients?

The above list is a rather small listing of the side-effects
of orthodox treatments. If you want a more complete picture
of how bad orthodox treatments are watch the videotape Cancer
Doesn’t Scare Me Anymore by Dr. Lorraine Day, M.D., available
at many health food stores or at Dr. Day’s website

I should note that alternative treatments for cancer have
none of the above problems. Alternative cancer treatments
generally include dietary items that build a person’s immune
system, cause no additional pain, provide large amounts of
natural nutrients, do not spread the cancer, selectively
target and kill cancer cells, cause no damage to normal
cells, and so on.

Judging Orthodox Cancer Treatments

So how can we judge whether orthodox cancer treatments should
be used at all?

Everyone knows that surgery, chemotherapy and radiation cause
a patient to become very sick and they do massive damage to
the immune system, they can damage vital organs, etc. How,
then, can we justify the use of these three treatments? I
would suggest that we judge orthodox medicine based on three
important criteria:

First, the increase in total life of the patient by use of the
treatment, Second, the damage done to a patient’s immune system,
which causes a severe weakness in the person’s ability to fight
their current cancer, plus their ability to fight future cancers, and
Third, the loss of quality of life of the patient.

Orthodox medicine fails in all three of these categories!!

First, there is no scientific evidence that in the vast
majority of cancers, orthodox treatments extend the total
life of patients. Second, the damage done to a patient’s
immune system is very severe, plus it even kills many red
blood cells and can damage vital organs. Third, orthodox
treatments not only cause severe trauma to the patient, but
they also cause severe damage and stress to their body.

Suppose I made the statement: In order to justify the damage
done by orthodox medicine, to both the body and quality of
life of a cancer patient, orthodox medicine must increase the
total life of the patient by 30%.

Now some people might not like the 30% number, they may pick
20% or another person might pick 100%. But whatever number
you personally pick, note that there is no scientific evidence that in
97% of the cases, orthodox treatments extend the total life of patients
one minute. In fact, in most cases orthodox medicine shortens the
life of cancer patients!

The 97% number came from cancer expert Ralph Moss, PhD, who
could only identify a few very rare types of cancer for which he
thought orthodox treatments actually extended the total life of
cancer patients.

    2 to 4% of cancers respond to chemotherapy The bottom
line is for a few kinds of cancer chemo is a life extending
procedure Hodgkin’s disease, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia
(ALL), Testicular cancer, and Choriocarcinoma.
    Ralph Moss, Ph.D. 1995 Author of: Questioning

Chemotherapy

Actually, it is very doubtful Hodgkin’s disease patients have
their life extended by more than a few years. In any case,
how can we justify the use of orthodox cancer treatments? We
cannot in 97% of the cases. Even for the 3% that are
benefited there may be alternative treatments that are even
better than chemotherapy.

What exactly is the significance of the 97% figure Dr. Moss,
and many others, have calculated? The significance is that

THE REAL CURE RATE FOR ORTHODOX CANCER 
TREATMENTS IS 3%!!

In other words, whenever you see an overall cure rate for
orthodox medicine higher than 3%, it is a number generated
purely by deceptive statistical tricks!! Compare the 3% REAL
cure rate of orthodox medicine to the REAL cure rate of 93%
of Dr. Kelley, for those patients to him before it was too late.

Then ask yourself why the FDA approves one chemotherapy drug
after another and yet ignores alternative cancer treatments!!

Also, ask yourself why every year more people die of cancer
than died in the prior year. Ask yourself if all of these
breakthroughs in chemotherapy drugs you hear about every
weekactually change that 3% figure (answer: they never do,
they are comparing one worthless drug to a newer, more profitable
worthless drug and they are only talking about symptoms or
temporary regression).

Now ask yourself if the REAL 3% cure rate justifies the
massive pain and suffering of orthodox cancer patients and
whether it justifies the massive damage done to their organs,
immune system, red blood cells, etc.
