 It is said these people maintain protection from cancer as long as they live in their native environment and drink water that is naturally high in alkaline minerals such as cesium. But Hopi Indian women who live on their reservation are known to develop breast cancer. [Prev Med. 27:135-43, 1998]
Q The claim that calcium may help prevent colon can-cer is now widely accepted, but not necessarily because of the creation of an alkaline state in gastric tissue. The loss of an acid gastric tract permits the colonization by unfriendly bacteria and the formation of cancer-causing chemicals. |
| Nutriphobia"
When it comes to cancer and nutrition, it's amazing the public misperceptions about vitamins, minerals and herbs. Truly, chemotherapy is toxic, yet cancer patients will inquire about the safety of a vitamin pill, but take toxic chemotherapy drugs without hesitation.
Mike, the stockbroker mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, has been using vitamins for years. His grandfather took vitamins and eventually died of kidney failure. He takes vitamins and has lymphoma. His family members mistakenly associate the vitamin pills with these diseases. |
| Expert Opinion Pharmacotherapy 3: 521-27, 2002; Seminars Oncology 29: 12-18, 2002] But oddly, not only do biophosphonates slow down the release of calcium and other bone minerals into blood, they also exhibit anti-tumor activity. [Seminars Oncology 29: 33-42, 2002] Biophosphonates induce tumor cells to mature and die off and prevent the spread (metastasis) of tumors. [Seminars Oncology 29: 43-49, 2002] The high pH theory is going out the window.
Furthermore, there appears to be an undesirable buildup of calcium inside tumor cells as well as in the blood circulation. |
| Alkaline ash is rich in alkaline minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, magnesium and manganese.
The alkaline approach to health goes beyond just cancer. If calcium is needed to maintain an alkaline state in the body, then it will be pulled from the bones, which is a mineral repository. Thus, the continued need to maintain an alkaline state could lead to premature thinning of the bones (osteoporosis). |
| The lungs and kidneys also help maintain pH, but organic minerals are the main alkalizing agents. Since carbon dioxide (C02) has been found to contribute to acid states, it is now known that the expelling of C02 via the lungs helps control acidity.
As the body's cells produce acidic waste products, alkaline buffers must be acquired from the diet or elsewhere from mineral pools to control pH.
Normal blood pH is 7.4 (slightly alkaline). A change in blood pH of 0.2 units in either direction is considered serious. The blood must be maintained at pH 7.4 - below 7.2 is considered a mortal state. |
| One answer to this question is that these high hormone levels occur when iron levels are low and metallic minerals like iron are either being lost in the monthly menstrual flow or being donated to a developing baby.
It should not be a surprise that precisely when women lose their ability to control iron, when monthly blood loss with accompanying iron depletion ceases, is exactly when the risk of breast cancer rises dramatically. For example, the liver stores iron and iron stores in the liver are higher among women in whom menstruation has stopped before the age of 50. |

 It also helps us maintain a healthy balance of fluids and minerals. And last but not least, our skin is the source of our sensory receptors for touch.
Skin is also the site of many, if not most, of our body signs. In fact, the majority of the signs we can see and touch are seen or felt on our skin, hair, or nails. And because they're so accessible, both to us and to others, skin signs can be as cosmetically disconcerting as they are diagnostically enlightening.
Since ancient times, people have been obsessed with skin diseases. |

 AGNI and the delicate balance of minerals and vitamins in the body. This especially applies to multivitamin preparations. Although there are conditions when taking extra vitamins may be beneficial, for example, before and after removing amalgam fillings from the teeth, they ought not to be taken in large doses and for more than 10-14 days at a time. This is best done under supervision of a health practitioner who is aware of the side effects that vitamins can have. In any case, synthetic vitamins should be avoided at all cost. |

| Sugar ingested daily produces a continuously altered internal pH, meaning the body becomes more acidic. More minerals are drawn from deep within the body in an attempt to restore a proper balance. For example, to protect the blood, calcium is taken from the bones and teeth in such great amounts that decay and weakening of the bones begins and this leads to osteoarthritis. Consumption of refined sugar can damage the digestive tract and eventually affect every organ in the body. |

 Wolfe: They need more minerals. If you're at home and you're wondering what to do, if you've got a corner in your garden, just take some diluted ocean water and put it in there and start growing some plants in there. All of a sudden you can feed your kid that vegetable or that fruit that's coming out of there, and they're getting something they can't get from a store.
Mike: Of course, a lot of the products that you sell at Nature's First Law are highly mineralized because they come from natural soils. I mean a lot of them are actually wild-crafted, like the Brazil nuts, correct? |
| Genetics are influenced by minerals. Dr. Maynard Murray showed that definitively, and this is all related to nutrition. Ultimately, everything in the universe is ingesting something, it's absorbing something and it's excreting something in our life. How does this relate? Well, that's saying that we all know it's in every culture in every religion -- every civilization throughout all of history and all time -- you are what you eat, and it really begins to come home to roost.
There's a good friend of mine, Doug Evans, who's one of the great spiritual entrepreneurs on the whole planet. |
| Are all the minerals present? Are you getting all the right fatty acids so your brain and nervous system function properly? From that information, all of a sudden you're able to start thinking clearly. The fog goes away. ADD symptoms go away, and you can focus. You know, ADD is an epidemic in America, and it's affecting the economic power of America -- but it doesn't have to be doing this.
Mike: I find it amazing. Almost 20 percent of our school children now in this country are diagnosed with ADD. Crime's a problem, too. |

 We can get everything we need in terms of nutrition -- including essential oils, vitamins, minerals and the like -- on a plant-based diet. We do not need meat to survive as a civilization. In fact, I believe that the mass consumption of meat devolves our society, because it makes us more angry and aggressive. It makes us less humane and is an uncivilized way to use the resources of the planet to support the human population, whereas consuming and surviving on plants is an evolved and intelligent way to feed the planet. If you consume mostly raw foods, then you also get outstanding nutrition. |

| Indeed, the most compelling evidence to date is that early memory loss can be reversed by the ascorbate minerals.18-20 Greater Alzheimer's disease risk also has been linked to low dietary intake of vitamin E and of fish.21~24 The elderly should continue to eat well balanced diets, high in calcium, magnesium, selenium, the B vitamins, and essential fatty acids. Aluminum, especially in its monomeric form, should be avoided. Niacin supplements are recommended as a precaution. |
| Orthomolecular medicine requires the application of both of these principles: biochemical individuality and the use of optimum doses (large doses if needed) of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and amino and essential fatty acids, in the maintenance of good health and treatment of health conditions. |
| That is why all the natural substances, including vitamins, minerals, hormones, amino acids, and essential fatty acids, are safer and more valuable in health care than are the xenobiotics drugs. This was the genius of Linus Pauling - he recognized this reality.
The practice of orthomolecular medicine thus recognizes that most acute and chronic diseases are due to a metabolic fault that is correctable in most patients by good nutrition, including the use of large doses of vitamins and mineral supplements. |
| Give a plant cell minerals, sunlight, water, and a safe place to grow, and the lowly algae can make all the vitamins it needs. Animal cells are less versatile in meeting their requirements, but are more adept at using the fruits of the labors of the plant cells. Animals eat other animals and plants, but their major source of nutrients is plant life. If there is a deficiency of one of the important nutrients or compounds that the cell needs in order to function, the whole procedure slows or stops. |

 You have to have good nutrition for the brain; that means B vitamins and lots of minerals -- magnesium, zinc, calcium and the trace minerals as well. You have to have the phytonutrients, the pigmentation in these foods -- the blues in the berries and the reds in the tomatoes and peppers, the orange in carrots and so on.
The colors of foods are actually potent phytochemicals, and these colors have highly protective effects on the nervous system. They also boost immune system function in the body and can help reduce arthritis and inflammation. |

 The process of neutralizing the acid in your body is based around minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, rubidium and cesium. People following this type of treatment also often use a variety of approaches to detoxify their bodies and then work to restore them with vitamins and supplements to boost health and strength.15
Does raising pH really kill cancer? In 1984, A. Keith Brewer, founder of the Brewer International Science Library, conducted experiments on mice and humans to study the effect of high pH therapy on cancer.16 The tumors in the mice shrank substantially within two weeks. |

 I engaged in heavy nutritional supplementation and remineralization (both the macro minerals like calcium and magnesium, plus trace minerals). Over time, I lost 50 pounds of body fat and have kept it off for years. My "before" pictures are so embarrassing that I still refuse to post them publicly, but believe me, I was borderline obese and diabetic.
If you're interested in using hoodia as part of a serious weight loss program, then I recommend going with one of the companies mentioned above. There may be others who offer honest products that I'm simply not aware of. |

| When the colon stops functioning properly, digestion becomes disrupted and the essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients your body depends on to grow and thrive are no longer absorbed. An unhealthy colon is also less able to expel toxins.
What Causes the Colon to Malfunction in the First Place?
The foods we eat obviously have a lot to do with keeping our colons healthy, but if maintaining our colons is as easy as making a few small changes to our dietary habits, why does the incidence of disease continue to skyrocket even among people with otherwise healthy diets? |

 Ideally, you need to start taking supplements with minerals and trace minerals. That's a great combination to calm your cravings.
Avoid excitotoxins in foods
The other thing that I guarantee most people haven't tried in terms of losing weight is avoiding all of the chemicals added to foods to make you hungry. These chemicals are called excitotoxins. The most common one is monosodium glutamate, or MSG. This ingredient is hidden in lots of other food ingredients such as yeast extract, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, autolyzed vegetable protein and so on. |

 Coca-cola's Dasani water is just filtered tap water with a trace of minerals thrown in. Many "vitamin water" products are often just colored water with a trace of low-cost vitamins. Popular sports water products are just water, artificial colors, salt and a few low-grade minerals. These are rip-off products, if you ask me.
But there are also quality, genuine bottled water products on the market that I believe are worth every penny. Those would be the ones from natural mineral springs, like Evian or Aquarius water out of Oregon. |

 You have to build up your nutrient minerals with amino acids, specific amino acid supplements. You have to have the proper vitamins and minerals to make your brain work right. You have to have the proper lipids, again, to make your brain work right, for brain function. You have to balance your pH because your brain won't function if you're too alkaline or too acid. Then, you live the lifestyle. We put all those together, and that's live foods and fasting; fasting clears the brain. There was research done in Russia with schizophrenics, incurable schizophrenics, and they water fasted them. |
