Official medicine is speaking about MS everyday. But still – what are they speaking about?

I went to Google and asked for definition of Multiple Sclerosis. You can see
the result of my inquiry in article On MS definition. All 26 definitions are more or less incorrect. In reality it’s a completely useless mess. Yeah.

I’ve written another article MS – name ambiguity on the subject. It starts with MS description by National Multiple Sclerosis Society (USA). I analyzed it carefully and find it to be completely misleading.

One more MS definition can be found in article of Wikipedia.org:

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune response attacks a person’s central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), leading to demyelination… The name multiple sclerosis refers to scars (scleroses—better known as plaques or lesions) in the white matter of the brain and spinal cord, which is mainly composed of myelin.

Almost any neurological symptom can appear with the disease…

Although much is known about the mechanisms involved in the disease process, the cause remains unknown. Theories include genetics or infections. Different environmental risk factors have also been found.

That’s better – MS really is an autoimmune disorder. Unfortunately, I still have no idea, what is a key difference between ‘immune response’ and ‘immune system’. Isn’t this explanation perfect: “Almost any neurological symptom can appear with the disease”. Please remember – we are speaking about CNS damage! MS triggers have been mentioned only, without ANY further explanation. However, you can find some information in a chapter Triggers of my website.

* * *

According to National MS Society (USA) description , in order to make a diagnosis of MS, the physician must:

• Find evidence of damage in at least two separate areas of the central
  nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves AND
• Find evidence that the damage occurred at least one month apart AND
• Rule out all other possible diagnoses

According to the Criteria all a neurologist has to do to diagnose MS is to determine position and level of CNS damage according to strict regulations. Regretfully, they have chosen to keep silent about possible triggers etc.

* * *

Looking closely, it’s easy to see the complexity of the degenerative process.

Obviously, before MS can be diagnosed, a succession of the body  damaging events must happen:

• The body is heavily polluted so one’s immune system gets detuned – that way autoimmunity starts
• Over-activated immune system starts the crusade against a new enemy – own body CNS, especially myelin
• To get to the brain, the blood brain barrier – brain safeguard – has to
  be damaged
• Significant damage to nerve covering (myelin) in many CNS positions has to be done
• Accumulated CNS damages lead to significant neurological symptoms
• CNS damages (lesions or scars) are clearly visible via MRI scanning etc

Hopefully, knowledge of these underlying degenerative processes could clarify some activities towards body stabilizing and healing. Obviously, these should involve mainly detoxification and immune system strengthening.

That’s my answer to a question What really Multiple Sclerosis is?

Simply. You visit your car or computer etc. mechanic to get that part replaced.

Some time ago medical doctors (human body mechanics) came in with the idea of replacing some faulty body parts – heart, liver… Obviously, everything is far more complicated in a living body case. Body has own immune system – powerful versatile safeguards, that can destroy literally anything (organic) inside the host body.

Immune system is so widespread, that it seems to be much easier to name body parts that aren’t parts of immune system than conversely

That’s fine – researchers developed subsidiary idea – to weaken the safeguard.  Present official synthetic pharmaceuticals, surgery and radiation based medicine has all powerful tools to demolish everything they want.

Again, nothing seems to be impossible nowadays – even living with weak immune system. But – pssst! – the patient must be silent – don’t even dare speaking about quality of life.

But what to do, when body’s own safeguard (immune system) for some reason becomes faulty?

A group of medical researchers suggested a new idea – replace the immune system! Researchers from the University – institution, once created to spread lucent humanistic ideas.

So, hmm – nice idea. But wait a moment – what about existing immune system? It’s faulty, but still – it guards the body against all environmental germs and performs lots of other highly important for body survival tasks.

More about problems and ways of immune system replacement (for some reason they call it reboot) – in articles 1. Immune System Reboot Could Treat Autoimmune Disease and 2. Stem cell transplant can grow new immune system in certain mice, Stanford researchers find.

Read, if you like. For me it’s a sort of terrible nightmare of a psychedelic person… OK, these are creations of present pharmaceutical – medical conglomerate.

But I still have some (not so) simple questions. Look:

• Our toxic reality – researchers noticed influence of industrial chemicals on spreading of all sorts of chronic degenerative disorders
• Welcome – Autoimmune Epidemic – key world researchers agree that global spreading of autoimmune disorders is mainly caused by environmental pollution
• Immunotoxins – Autoimmunity – MS – it’s clarified how man-made chemicals can trigger Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and any other autoimmune disorder

My main question remains:

Can it be that scientists are working in growing isolation? Or is it some special kind of “scientific” confusion – when one group knows nothing about results of others? Isn’t it similar to Health and wellness problems of information overload?

…as infectious childhood diseases like polio, smallpox, rheumatic fever, and diphtheria have largely been controlled, chronic conditions of less obvious origins have taken their place.

Asthma, autism, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders (ADD and ADHD), childhood brain cancer and acute lymphocytic leukemia have all increased over the past 30 years.

That’s introductory part of article Human health problems on the rise, published by Environmental Working Group (EWG), a non-profit organization, founded in 1993 to: 1. protect the most vulnerable segments of the human population – children, babies, and infants; and 2. replace federal policies, including government subsidies that damage the environment and natural resources, with policies that invest in conservation and sustainable development.

You’ll not find neither multiple sclerosis, nor any other autoimmune disorder included in this graph. Nevertheless, it’s safe to assume that no chronic degenerative disorder is an exception. Contrarily – such an assumption would be both unrealistic or even precarious.

Take a long hard look – you’ll definitely see the trend!

Conclusions follow:

Scientists cannot fully explain these increases, but early life exposure to environmental pollutants is a leading suspect (2005)

Fetal exposures lead to adult disease

Fetal exposures cause disease in future generations

Heaps of different already discovered aspects and separate facts about toxins and pollutants influence on health could be added, but the key message remains the same – for everybody:

Pollutants = Toxins = Poisons

Modern medicine is firmly founded on the “Germ Theory of Disease” promulgated by Louis Pasteur in the 1860’s. Pasteur’s 140-year-old theory is still the medical paradigm upon which Western medicine fights disease as we enter the 21st century

That’s initial part of  extraordinary article  “Is Modern Medicine Founded on Error?” by a Gabriel Donohoe, citizen journalist, published in a highly important educational health-related website NaturalNews.com.

Everything is presented in this article thoroughly. Here are some experts:

1860 – According to Pasteur:

• Germs, or microbes, cause disease
• Germs invade the body from the outside, i.e., air, water, or food
• Human blood is sterile and can only be infected by outside microbes
• Germs are monomorphic, i.e., they have only one form and can be identified by species
• Specific diseases are caused by specific germs
• Germs should be killed by pharmaceutical drugs

~1880 – The “proofs” of the new Germ Theory were already showing flaws

~1890 – Still, despite being highly controversial, the Germ Theory was quickly adopted by the medical powers of the day. This new theory about germs invading from outside the body empowered the medical and pharmaceutical industry as guardians of human and animal health. People became dependent on the fledgling medical/drugs industry for information and protection from disease. Thus, Modern Medicine was born.

Consider this alarming statistic from a report commissioned by the Nutrition Institute of America in October, 2003: 2.2 million hospital patients suffer Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) to prescribed medicine each year leading to the deaths of 106,000 people (proven cases). In other words,
over 2,000 Americans die each week from properly prescribed medicine in properly prescribed doses

…..

Author finishes the article with these rhetoric questions and statements:

• We still have a lot to learn about life, medicine, and healing but we need to approach these things with an open, inquisitive mind.
• How long will it take modern medicine to accept that germs don’t cause disease but only appear as a result of disease? Who will fund research into the pleomorphic work begun by Béchamp, Enderlein, Rife and others? Who is brave enough to confront Big Pharma’s doctrinaire, Pasteurian approach to drug based medicine?
• When a group of people are exposed to a virus or food toxin, modern medicine examines only those who get sick. What they should do is examine those who didn’t get sick. One would no doubt find that the sick people had acidic blood and tissue while those who didn’t succumb to the virus/toxin were alkaline. Therein lies the key to health.
• Disease cannot take hold in an alkaline body. An alkalising diet and way of living can prevent and reverse disease. But don’t expect this to be endorsed by orthodox medicine – there’s no profit in it.

Book “The Autoimmune Epidemic: Bodies Gone Haywire in a World Out of Balance–and the Cutting-Edge Science that Promises Hope” (2008) by
Donna Jackson Nakazawa,
an autoimmune sufferer herself

Foreword to “The Autoimmune Epidemic”
by Douglas Kerr, M.D., Ph.D.:

• founder and director of the Johns Hopkins Transverse Myelitis (TM) Center, the only center in the world dedicated to developing new therapies for this paralyzing autoimmune disorder
• faculty neurologist and neuroscientist at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore Maryland, for the last decade evaluating and treating patients with autoimmune disorders of the nervous system

He explains:

• Increasingly, I see that more and more patients are being felled by this devastating disorder (Transverse Myelitis)
• Infants as young as five months old can get TM and some are left permanently paralyzed and dependent upon a ventilator to breathe. But this is supposed to be a rare disorder, reportedly affecting only one in a million people
• Prior to the 1950s, there were a grand total of four cases reported in the medical literature
• Currently, my colleagues at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and I hear about or treat hundreds of new cases every year
• In the multiple sclerosis clinic, where I also see patients, the number of cases likewise continues to climb

This really trustworthy expert is sharing his collected information:

• Autoimmune diseases have not always been this common. The prevalence of autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, or lupus, multiple sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes is on the rise
• In some cases, autoimmune diseases are three times more common now than they were several decades ago. These changes are not due to increased recognition of these disorders or altered diagnostic criteria
• Rather, more people are getting autoimmune disorders than ever before

Later he’s providing a short explanation about operation of  immune system:

• The immune system … is charged with an amazingly complex task: to recognize and ignore all the cells and tissues within the body and – at the same time – to attack any and all “invaders”, foreign cells, viruses, bacteria, or fungi
• …wondrously complex immune system can successfully protect our bodies while recognizing and eliminating billions of distinct infections with which we come in contact. When functioning well, the immune system immediately recognizes a virus or bacteria that has gotten into our body and initiates a spirited and robust attack on the invader, allowing us to recover from a cold after only a few days
• But this precisely choreographed dance between the immune system and the tissues it is designed to protect goes badly awry in autoimmune diseases. In such diseases, the immune system mistakes friend for foe and begins to attack the very tissues it was designed to protect. The soldiers guarding the castle turn and attack it

He asks rhetoric questions and explains:

• But what triggers autoimmunity to occur? Throughout human history, our exposure to such myriad infectious agents has triggered an evolutionary arms race. Our immune system has evolved increasingly sophisticated countermeasures and recognition systems to combat the increasing diversity of the infectious agents with which we come in contact
• But this increasing sophistication comes with a cost: an increased chance of the system breaking down. We have evolved right to the edge of the immune system’s capacity…
• Now, over the last 40 years, something has been pushing that system over the edge. Something is causing the immune system to increasingly make mistakes in which the line becomes blurred, the immune system attacks the body itself, and autoimmune disease occurs
• In all likelihood, much of the reason for this often catastrophic mistake of the immune system comes from the countless environmental toxins to which we are currently exposed—toxins that interfere with the way the immune system communicates with the rest of the body

Some statistics (are you here?):

• The numbers are staggering: one in twelve Americans—and one in nine women—will develop an autoimmune disorder
• And since it is clear that not every patient with an autoimmune disease is correctly diagnosed, the prevalence is certainly higher than that…

…

Concerned about health in general or autoimmune disorder in particular? Lots of info in the book:

The Autoimmune Epidemic
Price: USD 10.80

Final words:

• You will leave this book with no reservations about the veracity of the conclusions: put simply, there is no doubt that autoimmune diseases are on the rise and our increasing environmental exposure to toxins and chemicals is fueling this rise
• The research is sound
• The conclusions unassailable

Reading The Autoimmune Epidemic is a necessary first step Reading The Autoimmune Epidemic is a life-altering event
It needs to be

No – it isn’t another terrible disease. Nevertheless, it’s something even more dangerous. For anybody! That’s how does orthodox medicine operate.

You see – FUD stands for fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

Just now you might be surprised: “What’s in common between cancer and these not-so-nice things”?

I came across this elegant explanation, as and lots of others, in the article
by a health ranger Mike Adams Cancer Industry Spreads Fear and Disinformation To Scare People Away From Learning About Alternative Treatments for Cancer on the Internet at his website NaturalNews. He describes all the system of persuading patients by cancer industry.

Although the author uses an example of cancer industry in his article, same
situation perfectly applies to multiple sclerosis and all other  autoimmune disorders. I’ve cited some his perfect insights in my article MS – name ambiguity, describing problems with multiple sclerosis definition.

Here I will put some crucial excerpts from the article:

• …fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) initiated by purveyors of modern medicine in order to scare people away from finding information about cancer on the internet
• …let’s get to the bottom of this and look at the real reason why this kind of propaganda is being distributed through the national media. The real reason they are attacking cancer websites is because the internet is the only place people can go to actually learn the truth about the cancer industry and cures for cancer that don’t involve chemotherapy, surgeries, or other radical procedures offered by western medicine
• Frankly, organized medicine would rather people remain ignorant. They don’t want people to be informed about anything other than the treatments that they promote and control, and as a result they continue to engage in these FUD campaigns to discourage people from learning about health online
• Ideally what the industry wants is a form of censorship – they want websites to be flagged to indicate which ones are “official” (therefore -
  best) cancer websites
• …person can undergo $50,000 worth of treatment and live an extra 3 months, and western medicine calls that a success, and it is their official position that that is the only treatment that should be available to sufferers of cancer – that if you go outside the system and find something that increases your lifespan by years or decades, then you are committing some sort of crime by venturing outside of orthodox western medicine
• …existing cancer industry prevents prevention. They are against prevention. They do not want prevention to be well known or to be adopted by medical practitioners, and one of the ways they do that is of course to spread fear and uncertainty about alternative cancer treatments through headlines such as the one I’m discussing here. If they can scare people away from the internet, then they can keep people ignorant of the true treatments for cancer

What I like in particular – it’s a nice analogy with plantation owners in the slave days of the United States. Mike Adams explains:

• it’s kind of like if you ran a plantation back in the slave days of the United States, you would make sure your slaves remained illiterate, because that way they wouldn’t gain enough education to venture out on their own and leave your plantation. In modern medicine, patients are like slaves, and the medical industry wants to keep everyone enslaved by making sure they don’t have access to good information about how to prevent chronic disease. “Keep ‘em dumb!” seems to be the slogan of organized medicine. The less you know about health and disease, the better they like it

Further the author presents major reasons for all this situation (the explanation perfectly fits for multiple sclerosis etc):

• When it comes to cancer, western medicine has failed. It simply does not work – it doesn’t cure cancer, it doesn’t offer any long-term benefit to patients, and it only results in massive costs associated with these
  short-lived treatments. Alternative medicine and natural healing approaches, on the other hand, are inexpensive: they are safe to use, they are widely used throughout the world, outside the United States, and they’ve been proven safe through thousands of years of effective use by various populations of the world who know far more about medicine and healing than our so-called “high-tech” system of modern medicine

Look – I never experienced any cancer. However, as a (former) multiple sclerosis (MS) sufferer, I experienced similar kind of FUD – directly and indirectly.

As usually, everything everywhere starts with definition. I tried to describe
all the confusion in articles On MS definition and MS – name ambiguity.

To be able to do something with it it’s necessary to know it. It’s included in magic words: “Knowledge of how to have health gives greatest power” I’ve chosen as My Health Manifesto.

Having more knowledge you are less vulnerable to FUD!

Children who develop multiple sclerosis have substantially lower levels of vitamin D than children who do not develop the disease, according to a series of studies presented at an international conference on multiple sclerosis in Montreal.

Full article:  Vitamin D Deficiency Causes Multiple Sclerosis in Children

• “Three-quarters of our subjects were below the optimal levels for vitamin D,” lead researcher Heather Hanwell said
• “Seventeen of 19 children who had been diagnosed with MS had vitamin D levels below the target level,” researcher Brenda Banwell said
• “There is a very consistent pattern of latitude and multiple sclerosis,” said epidemiologist and multiple sclerosis researcher Cedric Garland of the University of California-San Diego
• “In Canada for six months of the year the sun is not intense enough for us to manufacture vitamin D in our skin”…
• “People have been looking for things in the environment that might account for why Canada has such a high MS risk, and this is one of those factors”…

Further explanation:

• It remains unclear exactly how vitamin D might influence multiple sclerosis risk, but researchers believe it may have to do with the immune system. New research continues to illuminate the role that vitamin D plays in the immune system, providing protection against cancer, tuberculosis and autoimmune diseases

And:

• Vitamin D acts as an immune modulator… On our immune cells there are what are known as receptors, a docking mechanism, for vitamin D. In MS, there are many lines of evidence that immune cells are not regulated properly
• Researchers called vitamin D research one of the most promising areas of research into causes and potential cures for multiple sclerosis

Final words:

• To prove that vitamin D is effective as a multiple sclerosis treatment or preventive – as well as to figure out what dose would be needed – researchers would first have to conduct large-scale clinical trials

* * *

So we got it:

Vitamin D Deficiency Causes Multiple Sclerosis in Children

But why:

• only vitamin D deficiency?
• only in children?

I realize – this was the area of the research – the researchers performed a so-called scientific investigation.

What I really can’t understand (and agree with) – they didn’t perform any exploration into area of other possible multiple sclerosis (MS) causes. OK, they don’t mention it.

All the authors of this article are trying to do is to treat a set of symptoms, officially called Multiple Sclerosis, presupposing the only cause (lack of vitamin D), without even guessing any other.

I described some most probable causes of multiple sclerosis and all other autoimmune disorders in a chapter MS Triggers.

It’s really so simple: if there is other MS trigger – not vitamin D deficiency, increasing amount of this particular vitamin will not reduce MS symptoms and can even complicate a situation.

* * *
Importance of vitamin D is well documented in important medical researches:

• A meta-analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials has found that supplemental vitamin D significantly reduces mortality from all causes
• Vitamin D’s final metabolic product targets more than 200 human genes in a wide variety of tissues
• Not only are such deficiencies common, but vitamin D deficiency is implicated in most of the diseases of civilization
• Since vitamin D deficiency is both endemic and is associated with numerous diseases, it is one of the most important medical problems in modern society
• Steps should be taken to keep patients with chronic diseases associated with vitamin D deficiency

Pollution Can Change Your DNA in 3 Days, Study Suggests

As source was quite reliable – National Geographic News and I am interested in the subject (multiple sclerosis is autoimmune disorder), I started reading the article carefully:

• Breathing in polluted air may wreak havoc on our DNA, reprogramming genes in as few as three days and causing increased rates of cancer and other diseases
• The same damage may occur in city dwellers exposed to normal air, the researchers say
• …exposed workers’ DNA was damaged…
• Reduced-size gene groups … have also been found in the blood DNA of lung cancer patients
• You might not have to be a steelworker to sustain this kind of genetic damage…
• …the same damage can occur in city dwellers—the effects, however, take weeks or months to show up
• For instance, … previous research shows elderly people … had DNA damage…

What I am missing is consistency. Some aspects are well documented:

• almost all manufactured chemicals act as pollutants, showing up as xenobiotics, immunotoxins, neurotoxins etc.
• the only mentioned result from exposure to pollutants is lung cancer. They don’t mention autoimmune disorders and other pollution-related health problems at all – they mention only “other diseases”
• there is no explanation what happens when DNA has been changed

To my knowledge, the immune system is a full time body guard, recognizing and distinguishing between self and non-self. Next step is to destroy non-self. But what changed DNA really is – self or non-self?

It seems to me, immune system in such situations must be ‘confused’ – sometimes gets suppressed, sometimes overactive… And as degree of DNA change most probably depends on pollutant (pollutants cocktail), dose and exposure, result is rather unpredictable.

So number of autoimmune disorders (different ways of overactive immune system acting) is already approaching 100. And definitely multiple sclerosis (MS) is among many others.

But do you really know, what Multiple Sclerosis is?

Being somewhat confused, the other day I typed a phrase: “Definition of Multiple Sclerosis” into a Google search box. That’s the result:

Heaps of definitions. Some provided by educational, other by governmental, scientific etc institutions. But is any of above definitions explaining reasons or processes of Multiple Sclerosis? Regretfully – not. All of them concentrate on MS symptoms. And, most regretfully, nothing on cures for MS.

Are you happy with these definitions that explain practically nothing? I’m definitely far from being happy. Nevertheless, as I see such things for years, I know what to do.

Explanations – on pages of my web site ‘Beyond MS’.

Multiple sclerosis (or MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. Today, new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people affected by the disease

Everything is perfectly clarified and put into order in this description:

1. MS attacks Central Nervous System
2. MS symptoms severity vary
3. MS progress is unpredictable
4. Today [everyday?] new MS researches propose new treatments and so – hope

Nevertheless, this MS description is incorrect and heavily disorientating. Even a lay person, uneducated in modern medicine, could easily spot lots of misleading in this description:

1. ABSOLUTE NONSENSE: CNS isn’t attacked by MS! MS is a set of symptoms that occur after warriors of de-regulated and overactive immune system finally destroy all CNS protections, and so start destroying CNS. I propose more correct MS description in my article MS causes
2. Obvious: MS symptoms severity directly depend on immune system de-regulation magnitude and strategic importance of disabled area of CNS
3. Obvious: MS progress is enigmatic and so – unpredictable — until you start healing your poor heavily diseased immune system
4. Direct invitation to be passive and dependant! New research means more drugs. Therefore the only proposed option for any sick with MS person – rely upon MS drugs, generously produced by pharmaceutical industry. Isn’t knowledge that there are so great medical doctors and drug makers, readily available to help anybody sick, warming up? Certainly – until you know:
   • Who’s business is your MS
   • Why MS will never be treated
   • Advantages of MS ! ? !
   • Orthodox MS symptoms treatment
   • MS Treatment Market will Reach $11.9 Billion by 2011 etc

* * *

Problems of disorientating disease descriptions (created and proposed by conventional allopathic medicine), when set of symptoms are named as disease, are presented by a health ranger Mike Adams in his absolutely unexceptionable article Disease names like diabetes and osteoporosis are misleading and misinform patients about disease prevention. Excellent example:

I spotted a poster touting a new drug for osteoporosis. It was written by a drug company and it said exactly this: “Osteoporosis is a disease that causes weak and fragile bones”. Then, the poster went on to say that you need a particular drug to counteract this “disease”…

But it’s all hogwash. There is no such disease as osteoporosis. It’s just a made-up name given to a pattern of symptoms that indicate you’ve let your bones get fragile

Next the author proceeds with explanation of patient disorientating by some other diseases descriptions, including:

• high blood pressure
• high cholesterol
• diabetes
• cancer
• Alzheimer’s disease

This may all seem silly, right? But there’s actually a very important point to all this.

When we look at symptoms and give them disease names, we automatically distort the selection of available treatments for such a disease. If the disease is, by itself, high cholesterol, then the cure for the disease must be nothing other than lowering the high cholesterol. And that’s how we end up with all these pharmaceuticals treating high cholesterol in order to “prevent” this disease and lower the levels of LDL cholesterol in the human patient.

But there is a fatal flaw in this approach to disease treatment:

the symptom is not the cause of the disease

Another disease that is named after its symptom is cancer. In fact, to this day, most doctors and many patients still believe that cancer is a physical thing: a tumor. In reality, a tumor is only a side effect of cancer, not its cause. A tumor is simply a physical manifestation of a cancer pattern that is expressed by the body. When a person “has cancer,” what they really have is a sluggish immune system. And that would a far better name for the disease: Sluggish Immune System Disease or SISD.

If cancer were actually called Sluggish Immune System Disease, it would seem ridiculous to try to cure cancer by cutting out tumors through surgery and by destroying the immune system with chemotherapy. And yet these are precisely the most popular treatments for cancer offered by conventional medicine. These treatments do absolutely nothing to support the patient’s immune system and prevent further occurrences of cancer. That’s exactly why most people who undergo chemotherapy or the removal of tumors through surgical procedures end up with yet more cancer a few months or a few years later. It’s also another reason why survival rates of cancer have barely budged over the last twenty years. Put simply, conventional medicine’s treatments for cancer simply don’t work.

…in western medicine, the name of the disease seems to be intended to obscure the root cause of the disease, thereby making all diseases sound far more complex and mysterious than they really are

This fantastic article is real eye-opener. Enclosed information is compulsory for anybody who wants to live a really healthy and productive life. In other words – for anybody who is trying to reduce distance between lifespan and healthspan.

Mike Adams finishes his nice article these words:

Don’t believe the names of diseases given to you by your doctor. Those names are designed to obscure, not to inform. They are designed to separate you from self-healing, not to put you in touch with your own inner healer. And thus, they are nothing more than bad medicine masquerading as modern medical practice
