A cellulose fiber plant dating 4,000 years back with historical roots in North East Africa. Kenaf has a botanical relationship with cotton, okra and hemp; a member of the hibiscus family.

 There are several varieties of Kenaf (broad and palmate- segmented like hemp) and has been studied since the 1930’s at the University of Mississippi. Tender young leaves are used as alternative forage for livestock and food eaten by Africans, East Indians and Asians for 1,000 + years. In Pakistan it is called “Gongoora”.  As food, for example, it is a great salad addition (green leafy texture like spinach with a citrus flavor).  Nutritionally potent with high levels of calcium, selenium, protein, omega fatty acids, nitrogen, etc. 

Kenaf is totally earth-friendly.  All you need is water and fertilizer to grow as high as 20 feet in about 150 days.  Having no natural predators, growing Kenaf nourishes the soil and cleans the air.  The flowers are pretty yellow-white blooms with a deep red center that opens at sunrise and closes at night.  Harvesting Kenaf three times during the growing season (to 5 feet) produces tender young leaf for highest nutrition (wet or dry).  Food for humans–forage for livestock.Growing Kenaf for the rest of the season yields stock and core material that can be made into paper and textile products, animal bedding, soil remediation (pollution buster–water, land and air).  Highest organic oil absorbancy to a 92% clean up, starting as soon as you apply it.  One pound of Kenaf absorbs 1.66 gallons of oil or over 11 pounds of oil.  Amazingly absorbs hydrocarbon products up to 12 times its own weight.  Environmentally safe and correct.  A great alternative to plywood (save the old growth trees).  For the garden it’s a great mulch. 

Much can be said! Food,Clothing, Building Material( Plywood, Brick, Plastics) Cleans the Soil,Water and Air.  A remedy that we should act on now.  Proven environmentally correct, one that should be used to make paper without killing trees and it doesn’t need insecticides or fungicides.  There’s no need for importing from out-of-state any type of sawdust (substrate), bedding for livestock, mulch for gardens.  EPA approved for 20 years.  Bioremediation (clean up method converting contaminants such as creosote preservatives, PCP-pentachlorophenol, petroleum products into harmless byproducts, i.e. carbon dioxide and water.  Kenaf contains indigenous hydrocarbons digesting microbes without any cultures, preservatives or stablizers.  We can balance our pollution problem right here, right now!  Use Kenaf everywhere.

OIL SUCK:  Just a little sucks a lot. Kenaf manufactured locally by American farmers, is all natural and biodegradable. Kenaf absorbs up to 12 times its own weight. Kenaf assimilates pollution. Kenaf is a remedy for balancing pollution from industrial, military and lakes.  Store 2-5 pound bags of Kenaf in cars, boats and trucks.  Helps keep available proven clean up materials close by.   Do your part–clean the ground and water.  It will help clean our air, an incentive to reduce greenhouse effects.  Need Seeds?

    KENAF

       Facts

1.  History: Indigenous of southern Asia, Africa, Middle East.

2. Age: Cultivated for at least 4000 years – originating in Egypt.

3. Yield: Kenaf may yield 6 to 10 tons of dry fiber per acre. Per year. This is 3 to 5 times greater than the yield for pine, which requires 7   to  40 years before they are ready for harvest. 5000 acres produce pulp to supply paper plant 200 tons a day.

4.  Fiber: The outer fiber or bast makes up 40% of the stalks dry weight; the inner fiber or core makes up the other 60%.

5.  Processing: Can be processed in a mechanical fiber separator similar to a cotton gin.

6.  Growth: In the right climate, kenaf grows 14 feet tall in 4 to 5 months and is an annual. Environmentally safe.

7.  Harvesting: Harvesting kenaf 3 times during the growing season (to 5 feet) produces tender young leaf for highest nutrition (wet or dry).

8.  Flowers: Kenaf flowers at the end of the growing season, producing showy hibiscus-like blossoms.

9.  Requirements: Requires a minimum of fertilizers, pesticides, and water in comparison to other row crops.

10. Growing areas: Almost all growing areas of U.S. kenaf, seed cannot mature. You need 60 to 90 days frost free to germinate. Arizona and southwest deserts can produce mature seed.

11. Seeds: 15,000 to 20,000 seeds per pound. Varieties include; Everglades41, Dowling, Whitten, tainung2, all have broad shape leaf, tainung2 has both palmate and broad shape leaf. Seed Price range: $8.50 for 240+, advance order: $2.80/lb. Minimum order 2000 lbs. (Kenaf.seed.com)

12. Absorption:  Cleans the air 3 to 9 times more than other plants in Co2 Absorption. Absorbs oil up to 12 times its own weight. Neutralizes oil toxicity up to 92%.

Summary: America has studied kenaf enough for 80 years. I have been knocking on heads to start businesses for 12 years now!

                                                           Just a little Sucks Alot

MIRACLE CANCER CURETHE FDA DOES NOT WANT YOU TO HAVE!

by Thomas M. Sipos, L.A. Bureau Chief.  [January 14, 2003]Stanislaw Burzynski

 

[WeeklyUniverse.com]  A new medical magic bullet — Antineoplaston therapy– is curing cancers at an astonishing success rate — but amazingly, the FDA wants to suppress it!

That’s the incredible charge of investigative journalist Thomas D. Elias, author of The Burzynski Breakthrough: The Most Promising Cancer Treatment … and the Government’s Campaign to Squelch It, as explained to the Weekly Universe in an exclusive interview.

* Burzynski’s Antineoplaston Miracle

The key to this new miracle cancer cure are antineoplastons (Greek for “anti-cancer”) which are peptide fragments formed by amino acids.  Their major active ingredients include phenylacetate, sodium phenylbutyrate, and sodium phenylisobutyrate.

Explains Elias: “Antineoplastons are found in profusion in the blood and urine of healthy individuals — but are virtually absent in cancer victims.  The compounds were first noted in the early 1960s by researchers at Rockefeller University, but no one linked them to cancer until Stanislaw Burzynski in 1968 noted their absence in cancer victims.”

At the time of his amazing discovery, Burzynski was a medical student in Poland.  He came to America to escape Communist persecution — just before the Polish army was to send him to serve as a medical officer for the Viet Cong!

Coming to America in 1970, Burzynski became a researcher at Baylor University College of Medicine in Houston, where he continued his study of peptides with transplant surgeon Michael DeBakey.  He left Baylor in 1976, with the rank of associate professor.

To date, Burzynski has identified 117 antineoplaston compounds, but his antineoplaston drug uses only the two “broadest-acting” compounds.  But Elias adds that Burzynski “theorizes that if he had time and money to test the others, he would find one specific to every type of human cancer!”

In The Burzynski Breakthrough, Elias charts the clinical trial results of Burzynski’s antineoplaston treatment against dozens of types of cancer.  “All these figures derive from progress reports sent to the FDA, which are required of anyone who conducts clinical trials,” says Elias.  “But there is no other cancer treatment for which the manufacturer has ever made precise performance figures available.

“Overall, Burzynski’s drug draws significant responses in about 65% of all cancers on which it has been used.  This includes complete remissions, partial remissions (i.e., more than 50% reduction of tumor within six months of start of treatment), and stable disease (less than 50% tumor reduction, but no progression — which can be a very significant result if you have a fast-growing brain tumor that’s not responding to anything else).

“Burzynski’s drug works via a chemical reaction that reactivates tumor suppresser genes — specifically the p53 tumor suppresser gene — which have been quieted, usually because they’ve been coated with methyl groups.  About 60-65% of all cancers are associated with malfunction of the p53 gene, so Burzynski’s numbers are apparently is no accident.”

* Antineoplastons Tops Chemo & Radiation

Antineoplaston’s astonishing success rate vs. standard treatments are starkest with brain tumors.  Burzynski has about a 65% response rate for all types of brain cancers, whereas chemo and radiation achieve five-year cures in less than 1% of all cases.  Chemotherapeutic agents rarely reach the brain (because of the “blood-brain barrier”) whereas antineoplastons do!

Antineoplastons have also proven dramatically effective against such cancers as lymphomas (Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins), renal cell (kidney), hepatic (liver), and breast.

“Another major difference between antineoplastons and chemo is that antineoplastons are non-toxic,” adds Elias, “so patients do not lose hair or become nauseous.  Antineoplaston’s relatively mild side effects include frequent urination and a fever in the early stages of tumor breakdown.”

* Is He A Quack? 

“Burzynski is frequently accused of being a quack,” says Elias, “but no quack would publish negative results — which Burzynski provided to me right along with the good ones.

“As the discoverer of antineoplastons, Burzynski holds the patents for them, and is conducting clinical trials at the moment against 72 types of cancer.  My book reports both good and bad response rates for various cancer types.

“A quack also would not send away patients, telling them he can’t help or that some other treatment would be better for them, as Burzynski does with some patients.  For instance, for childhood leukemia, he will tell you the standard treatments work pretty well.”

* Growing Worldwide Acceptance

Research centers around the world are now studying antineoplastons — including a few doctors in Germany, Sweden, Holland, Australia, and Switzerland.

“At the University of Kurume Medical School in Japan,” says Elias, “Dr. Hideaki Tsuda heads a team that has had notable success against liver and kidney cancer — including curing the University chancellor of a liver cancer for which he had been given a terminal diagnosis!

“But in the USA, Burzynski is the only doctor who acknowledges using them.

“A second clinical trial site at Beth Israel Hospital in New York was to begin accepting patients about six months ago, but Dr. Fred Epstein (an Albert Einstein Medical School professor and pediatric neuro-oncologist) who wanted to head that study, was injured in a bicycle accident, and is not yet fully recovered.  So that clinical trial is in abeyance, even though the Institutional Review Board at Beth Israel has okayed it.”

* Endorsed by Julian Whitaker 

One of the many supporters of Burzynski is alternative health expert, Dr. Julian Whitaker.

“Whitaker has written about Burzynski and antineoplastons on several occasions in his newsletter,” says Elias.  “He appeared on two television programs with me and Burzynski, and gave the keynote address in March 2001 — when 500 cured Burzynski patients gave a testimonial dinner for him in Houston!

“Whitaker has also written about the FDA’s persecution of Burzynski — which goes well beyond mere harassment.

* FDA Suppression

Despite the amazing success of antineoplastons, the Food and Drug Administration is trying to suppress them!

“Yes, the FDA is trying to suppress antineoplastons,” confirms Elias.  “There also has been an effort to steal them, with the FDA cooperating with Elan Pharmaceutical Corp. in that effort.

“Elan now is in deep financial trouble, so I don’t believe they are much involved any more.  But I have copies of signed internal National Cancer Institute documents in which NCI official Michael Friedman stated as early as 1992 that ‘the human brain tumor responses are real’ but that it would be easier for the FDA to develop the drug through a large pharmaceutical company.”

The Weekly Universe has also learned that the NCI now acknowledges Burzynski’s research on its website.  However, the NCI claims that at this point [May 20, 2002], “no definitive conclusions can be drawn about the effectiveness of treatment with antineoplastons.”

Elias reports that Friedman went on to become deputy commissioner for operations at the FDA, then acting commissioner during the last two years of Clinton’s term.  He is now senior VP at Abbott Laboratories (a division of Monsanto Corp.).

“The FDA is on record as saying it has never, and never will, license a drug to a private entrepreneur,” says Elias.  “Instead, in 1997, the FDA put Burzynski on criminal trial, charging him with 75 counts of interstate trafficking of an unapproved drug, and with insurance fraud.  Burzynski was acquitted on all counts.  Since then, the FDA has merely harassed him and his patients.

But while one arm of the government is trying to stop Burzynski from saving dying patients, another branch is trying to steal Burzynski’s work!

“NCI patent applications for drugs that precisely duplicate Burzynski’s drugs establish that the government knows this drug works!” charges Elias.  “It is clear from an NCI response to my FOIA request that the FDA prosecuted Burzynski in hopes of putting him away somewhere where he could not protect his patents!”

* The Chilling Timeline

Elias offers the following timeline to prove his chilling charges:
 

    * 1989 — Burzynski cures Elan founder Donald Panoz’s sister-in-law of a brain tumor.

    * 1990 — Elan signs a letter of intent with Burzynski to hold clinical trials for antineoplastons, and bring them to market, paying Burzynski a substantial royalty.

    * 1990 — During the 90-day period in which either party can cancel the contract, Elan sends scientists to Burzynski’s clinic & manufacturing plant (since 1980, all antineoplastons are produced synthetically) and learns he has not patented simple phenylacetate as a cancer therapy. Burzynski says he did not do so because plain PA is about one-tenth as effective as his more complex compounds.  Elan cancels the contract.

    * 1991 — Elan begins funding a 10-center clinical trial of plain phenylacetate against brain tumors.  Elan also begins funding Dr. Dvorit Samid’s laboratory at the Uniformed Services Medical School in Bethesda, and continues funding Samid when she moves on to the NCI and later to the University of Virginia Medical School.  Samid began researching antineoplastons in 1988 using materials supplied by Burzynski.  There is correspondence to prove this.

    * 1993 — Samid signs the NCI patent applications.

    * Spring 1995 — NIH (National Institute of Health) receives patents virtually identical to Burzynski’s.

    * May 1995 — Elan receives a license from NIH to develop the government’s patents.  How much Elan pays for this license is redacted from the contract copy sent to me in response to my FOIA request.

    * June 1995 — FDA agents, reinforced by gun-toting DEA and ATF agents, raid Burzynski’s clinic, rousting patients from waiting room at gun-point, some in wheelchairs.

    * Sept. 1995 — Burzynski is indicted.  He becomes the first scientist ever indicted for the use of a drug on which the FDA has granted him permits to conduct clinical trials.

    * May 1997 — Burzynski is acquitted in federal district court in Houston.
“The timeline pretty much establishes that while the FDA was trying to squelch this drug prior to 1991, it was in cahoots with Elan afterward to steal it,” adds Elias.  “The movement of individuals from the NCI to FDA, and then to industry (one key person became an Elan VP) facilitated all this.

“However, the FDA’s legal effort against Burzynski began in 1983,” says Elias, giving details in his Burzynski Breakthrough.

 

* Politicos, Good and Bad
In any story of big corporate lies and ruthless government coverup, there are heroes and villains.  The Weekly Universe asked Elias to name the good and the bad among “the people’s” representatives.  Those who are helping to bring Burzynski’s life-saving therapy to dying patients — and those opposed!

Says Elias: “The main hinderer among politicians is Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA), my very own congressman!  Were he still chairman of the House Commerce subcommittee overseeing the FDA, Burzynski would probably be out of business.  This is because of Waxman’s close alliance with the FDA, spurred by his fierce anti-tobacco stance.

“Among those who stick up for antineoplastons is Representative Dan Burton (R-IN), who held several hearings on the topic while chairman of the House Government Operations committee.  Others who have been supportive are Representative Joe Barton (R-TX) and Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA).

* Tantamount to Murder

Concludes Elias: “I believe the FDA’s actions in keeping this treatment off the general market and out of general use are tantamount to murder of many thousands of patients who could still be alive if antineoplastons had been available to them.

“This is the best and most important story I have ever covered.  What I’ve told you here is just a fraction of the story.  That’s why I had to write it in book-length.”

The Burzynski Breakthrough has been optioned for a TV movie.

UPDATE: The Texas Medical Board’s case against him was dismissed on November 19, 2012

After a 15-year long battle, the Texas Medical Board has officially ended its crusade to revoke Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski’s medical license in an effort to end the use of his pioneering personalized gene-targeted therapy for cancer

  • Evidence has shown in the past that the FDA has pressured the Texas Medical Board to revoke Dr. Burzynski’s medical license—despite the fact that no laws were broken, and his treatment was proven safe and effective.
  • The Texas Medical Board (TMB) has a long history of harassing doctors. The entire Board was sued by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) in 2007, citing an “institutional culture of retaliation and intimidation.” Legislation was also drafted in 2009 in an effort to clamp down on the abuses by the TMB, but the bill failed to be passed into law.
  • Dr. Burzynski’s treatment also includes antineoplastons, which are peptides and derivatives of amino acids that act as molecular and genetic switches. They turn off oncogenes that cause cancer, and activate tumor suppressor genes.
  • Once they’ve determined which genes are involved in the cancer, after extensive third-party genomic testing on both the cancer tissue obtained during biopsy as well as the patient’s blood, a custom formulation of FDA-approved gene-targeted drugs are then meticulously chosen to target that patients genes specially related to their cancer. Antineoplastons by themselves work on nearly 100 cancer-causing genes, while traditional gene targeted oncology agents like Avastin, are only proven to target a single gene. Typically, patients who participate in Burzynski’s personalized gene-targeted regimen also receive Phenylbutyrate, a metabolite of Burzynski’s original Antineoplaston invention.

Set in Motion Proper Digestion

EATING FRUIT…It’s long but very informative. We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It’s not as easy as you think. It’s important to know how and when to eat.What is the correct way of eating fruits? IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.Let’s say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil….So please eat your fruits on an empty stomachor before your meals! You have heard people complaining  every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat during my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc.  actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOThappen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.When you need to drink fruit juice – drink only freshfruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don’t even drink juice that has been heated up.. Don’t eat cooked fruits because you don’t get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice.. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!KIWI:Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene  the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this ‘sludge’ reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food.. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

 Fruit is definitely a source of fructose, and one that can harm your health if you eat it in vast quantities, but eating small amounts of whole fruits is fine if you are healthy.

In vegetables and fruits, the fructose is mixed in with fiber, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and beneficial phytonutrients, all of which help moderate the negative metabolic effects. However, if you suffer with any fructose-related health issues, such as insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, obesity or cancer, you would be wise to limit your total fructose consumption to 15 grams of fructose per day. This includes fructose from ALL sources, including whole fruit.

If you are not insulin resistant, you may increase this to 25 grams of total fructose per day on average.

If you received your fructose only from vegetables and fruits (where it originates) as most people did a century ago, you’d consume about 15 grams per day. Today the average is 73 grams per day which is nearly 500 percent higher a dose and our bodies simply can’t tolerate that type of biochemical abuse. So please, carefully add your fruits based on the following table to keep your total fructose below 15-25 grams per day, depending on your current health status.

Chlorine Dioxide – DMSO Treatment

 

 

FDA Disclaimer

This treatment has not been evaluated by the FDA and it never will be evaluated by the FDA for two reasons:
1) This treatment only costs about $50 and it requires many, many, many millions of dollars to get a treatment approved by the FDA, and
2) The FDA does not research cancer treatments.

Introduction

This alternative cancer treatment, by itself, has been shown to be very effective against melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It should also be highly effective against uterine cancer since uterine cancer also spreads via microbes (e.g. “seeds”) and uterine cancer is also highly associated with microbes (though uterine cancer is also associated with root canals).

It should also be highly effective against AIDS. As a minimum it will help keep AIDS in check.

For other types of cancers its effectiveness has not yet been determined. However, because melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma include stationary cancer cells, and because this treatment is effective for these two types of cancer, it is expected that this treatment will be effective on other kinds of cancer.

This treatments has two major advantages over many other alternative cancer treatments:
1) This treatment was designed to revert cancer cells into normal cells, meaning if it is used properly it will not cause any type of swelling or inflammation, and
2) This treatment can be taken completely transdermally, meaning through the skin. This means those on a feeding tube or I.V. can use this treatment.

Critical Warnings

 

Do NOT Use This Treatment With Prescription Drugs

The DMSO in this treatment may enhance the effectiveness of prescription drugs, thus the cancer patient may effectively overdose on their prescription drugs. Use this treatment with prescription drugs with caution and close observation.

Warning For Women Who Are, or Who Might Be, or Who Might Become Pregnant

Women who are pregnant, might be pregnant, might become pregnant, or are nursing, should NOT take this treatment. The affect on an unborn fetus could be fatal to the fetus due to the high doses of chlorine dioxide in this treatment combined with the extremely low weight of the fetus!! In addition, fetus have many undifferentiated cells and this treatment will TARGET cancer cells, which are also undifferentiated!! Thus, this treatment may inadvertantly target undifferentiated fetal cells!!!!

TAKE THIS WARNING VERY, VERY SERIOUSLY!!!

Tumors

This treatment is not designed to shrink tumors, so if any tumors are in dangerous locations (such as they are pressing on the bile duct) do not use this treatment. use one of the treatments which shrinks tumors, such as the Cellect-Budwig protocol.

Also, if the patient has swelling in their brain, or any other dangerous condition, seek medical help immediately.

What causes cancer? Most people believe that it is DNA damage that causes cancer. While in rare situations, DNA can have a negative affect on a person’s immune system, DNA normally has absolutely nothing to do with the development of cancer.

The fact is that cancer is caused by a special type of microbe which gets inside of normal cells and turns the cells cancerous.

Actually, everyone has cancer cells forming in their body at all times. The immune system generally safely kills them. Thus, a weakened immune system, and many other things, can allow cancer cells to overcome the immune system. But the actual formation of cancer cells is exclusively caused by microbes which get inside of normal cells.

Dr. Royal Rife did an enormous amount of research into the relationship between microbes and cancer in the 1930s. He would inject mice with a virus and in 100% of the cases the mice would get cancer.

Dr. Rife proposed a cure for cancer which did nothing but kill these viruses. His cure was 100% successful. However, note that his cure had no intention of killing cancer cells or fixing DNA (which had not been discovered in the 1930s); its only goal was to kill microbes in the body. Once the microbes were dead the cancer cells were able to revert back into normal, differentiated cells.

It is very doubtful that Dr. Rife knew that the critial microbes which needed to be killed were inside the cancer cells, but electromedicine will kill microbes inside or outside of cancer cells.

But almost all natural substances do not normally get inside of cells, thus it is almost impossible for natural substances to kill the microbes inside the cancer cells. Natural substances can kill cancer cells and build the immune system, but they generally cannot kill microbes inside the cancer cells.

A detailed discussion of how microbes cause cancer can be found in another article. The cancer theory article also discusses the four different categories of treatments which can cure cancer. See this article:
The Theory of Cancer

You may have noted in the article just linked to that as long as microbe(s) are inside cancer cells, the cell is unable to revert into a normal cell.

The purpose of this treatment is to deal with cancer in two different ways:
1) By using DMSO as a “carrier” to get chlorine dioxide inside the cancer cells, the intent is to kill the microbes inside the cancer cells,
2) By using chlorine dioxide, all microbes in the bloodstream will be killed (technically: attenuated).

Because the immune system communicates using electrical signals, and because microbes emit electrical signals which interfere with the immune system communications, by getting rid of microbes in the bloodstream the immune sytem will be supercharged (this was the entire basis of using the Bob Beck Protocol for cancer).



 

What Is DMSO?

This treatment includes DMSO, which is technically called: dimethyl sulfoxide. DMSO is a purely natural product from the wood industry. Many, many millions of people have used DMSO around the world. Not one person has died from its use.

However, many people have difficulties working with DMSO. In some cases there is a skin rash which is simply too severe to continue the treatment. When you get your bottle of DMSO put one drop on your skin, spread it around a little bit and see if you have an allergic reaction (i.e. severe rash). If not, an hour later put 10 drops on your skin and spread it thin. If you do not have a reaction, go ahead with the treatment.

If you want to know more about DMSO, see this website:
http://www.dmso.org/articles/information/muir.htm

The Importance of the DMSO

This treatment uses DMSO and chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide will be discussed below, but the big picture is that chlorine dioxide kills microbes and DMSO “carries” the chlorine dioxide inside of cancer cells.

The theory behind adding the DMSO is that the DMSO will bind to the chlorine dioxide (which is a known fact); then allow the DMSO to carry the chlorine dioxide through the skin (which is a known fact); then, once inside the skin, allow the chlorine dioxide / DMSO molecules to target the cancer cells (which DMSO is known to do); then the DMSO will drag the chlorine dixoide into the cancer cells (which DMSO is known to do); and then once inside the cancer cells the chlorine dioxide should kill the microbes inside the cancer cells (this is the only part that is speculative, but it is reasonable because chlorine dioxide works by chemical actions, not physical actions).

If you kill the microbe(s) inside the cancer cells, the cells will revert back to being normal cells without any type of debris from dead cancer cells. Thus, there is no swelling or inflammation. In fact, DMSO is known to help reduce swelling and inflammation.

But regardless of how many cancer cells it reverts into normal cells, what is known is that DMSO with chlorine dioxide will kill any microbes in the blood and thus will help build the immune system. Furthermore, by purely chemical means it will build the immune system in other ways.



 

What Is Chlorine Dioxide?

Chlorine dioxide has been studied by scientists for many years and has been mentioned in many scientific journals. However, it was Jim Humble who brought chlorine dioxide to the forefront of alternative medicine.

Jim used 15 drops of chlorine dioxide, followed one hour later by another 15 drops, to cure malaria. AIDS/HIV can also be cured with chlorine dioxide, though the administration of chlorine dioxide for AIDS uses injections. However, this article describes a very good AIDS treatment which may be just as effective as injections.

Another thing Jim Humble discovered is that chlorine dioxide can be made at home by mixing stabilized oxygen (also known as: sodium chlorite) with an “activator.” It is the “activator” which converts the sodium chlorite into chlorine dioxide.

Normal stabilized oxygen (e.g. Vitamin O, Aerobic O7 or Aerobic KO7) is usually between 3% and 7% sodium chlorite. This is NOT the same thing as table salt, which is sodium chloride.

Stabilized oxygen (i.e. sodium chlorite) has been used in alternative medicine for several decades. It is used primarily to prevent viral infections, such as colds and the flu, and to treat allergies.

The Miracle Mineral Supplement (MMS) is 28% sodium chlorite. The reason for this mixture is so that it will react more readily to the “activator” to make chlorine dioxide.

Vendors may sell bottles which recommend adding MMS to some form of vinegar. This is old technology. DO NOT USE VINEGAR WITH MMS!!! Vinegar can actually feed yeast infections.

The three things you can mix with MMS are (these are the three activators):
1) fresh squeezed lemon juice, which you squeeze yourself (filter out the particles),
2) fresh squeezed lime juice, which you squeeze yourself (filter out the particles), or
3) 10% citric acid (in liquid form)

Any of these three items will chemically react to the sodium chlorite to create chlorine dioxide. The liquid citric acid is the preferred item to mix with MMS. Liquid citric acid can be purchased over the Internet in liquid form or powdered form. If purchased in powdered form, it must be converted to liquid form before use. MMS should always be purchased from the vendor of MMS. MMS vendors have high turnover of citric acid, thus the product is always fresh.

10% citric acid, in liquid form, mixes better with sodium chlorite than lemon juice or lime juice. When using chlorine dioxide transdermally, meaning through the skin, 10% citric acid also penetrates the skin better than lemon juice or lime juice.

The things you should NOT mix with sodium chlorite are just as important as the things you should mix with it. For example, do NOT use any type of bottled lemon juice, such as ReaLemon, as it may have vitamin C added as a preservative.

The bottom line is to always use 10% citric acid, purchased from a vendor of MMS, or if you cannot get that, then use fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice (which you squeezed yourself). Nothing else is acceptable as an activator.

Also note the Miracle Mineral Supplement bottle should NOT be exposed directly to sunlight.

While you can buy chlorine dioxide over the internet, this website recommends that you make it yourself at home. You should make it at home and use it within two hours.

Items That Can Neutralize Chlorine Dioxide

This treatment can easily be neutralized by Vitamin C, immune builders, Protocel, Cantron, and other antioxidants. Because it is so sensitive to other substances, this treatment should generally be used by itself. Even Cellect includes immune builders, which can neutralize this treatment.

What this means is that if you want to use two alternative cancer treatments, this being one of them, in many cases the two protocols will have to be alternated (e.g. 10 days on one protocol, 10 days on the other protocol; and continue alternating the treatments every 10 days).

The following information from the Bill Henderson Newsletter will clarify these points:

  • They had started with just 2 drops of the MMS and worked up to a dose of 15 drops, twice a day. for ten days. There was no noticeable effect — no nausea, no diarrhea — nothing. They were aware of the effect of Vitamin C on the MMS, so they had moved the Heart Plus and Daily Advantage to later in the day.They did some research, though, and found that the Beta 1,3D Glucan immune stimulant is a strong anti-oxidant also. They were taking it at roughly the same time as the MMS. As soon as they stopped taking the Beta Glucan for a couple of days, the MMS had an immediate effect — diarrhea, cleansing — the whole thing.
    (Chemist) I am a chemist who bought your (previous edition) book and am receiving your e-newsletter (and I have cancer). I am not surprised to finally read in letter #114 that anti-oxidants ‘kill’ MMS. They should. And that’s what I have been telling a friend of mine who has lung cancer. However, anti-oxidants stay in the body for more than three hours. Ideally, if you have enough protection, you should have a more or less permanent steady state of them. The beta-glucan instance, where the people waited three DAYS, certainly suggests this also. I am not sure what the solution to the problem is, but if I were taking MMS (and I intend to) I would stop all anti-oxidants for a while to let the MMS work unhindered.”
    (Bill Henderson) As I mentioned in my last newsletter, the MMS is still in an experimental stage. I would certainly heed Robert Peterson’s advice. At least try discontinuing your use of the Beta Glucan, the Heart Plus and the Daily Advantage for a couple of weeks while you take the MMS. You need to be the judge of whether it is working for you. If you experience the normal MMS diarrhea after you stop the anti-oxidants, then it is probably working for you. This should not continue for long (a day or so). Then, you should begin to have normal bowel movements with no constipation.
    Bill Henderson Newsletter

In other words, do NOT use the chlorine dixoide protocol at the same time as any substance which has Vitamin C, or any other antioxidant, including immune builders. Wait at least a couple of days after discontinuing these treatments before starting the chlorine dioxide treatment.

Taking Chlorine Dixoide: Oral or Transdermal?

As the above quotes suggest, Vitamin C, other antioxidants and immune builders, should not be taken during the same time periods as MMS/Chlorine Dioxide. This is good advice.

However, the quotes above also indicate that diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, etc. are part of this treatment. This is true only if you take this treatment orally. It is the stomach which is causing these side-effects. If you take this treatment transdermally, meaning through the skin; the stomach, and the side-effects, can be totally avoided.

While most websites on chlorine dioxide suggest taking it orally, this website strongly suggests you take it transdermally. The only side-effect of taking this treatment transdermally, if you do it right, are possible slight burnings on the skin. This can be controlled by rotating where you rub it on your skin, spreading it very thin over a wide area of skin and by using skin creams to stop the burning, as long as the skin creams do NOT contain any antioxidants.

Skin creams should NOT be used for at least 15 minutes AFTER the administration of the DMSO.

But a more important advantage of taking it transdermally is that with transdermal applications, higher doses can be taken, and the high doses can be achieved much more quickly.

Patients with lyme disease, for example, may never be able to achieve doses higher than 1/2 drop (of MMS) if they use the treatment orally. But this is because of the stomach, not the body or the blood. By taking it transdermally, all stomach side-effects can be avoided and normal and even high doses can be achieved easily.

The use of DMSO for cancer patients is critical. Chlorine dioxide, by itself, will not get inside of cancer cells. The main reason for adding DMSO is because DMSO will “open up” cancer cells so chlorine dioxide CAN get inside of cancer cells. It is inside the cancer cells where chlorine dioxide is able to revert cancer cells into normal cells.

If you insist on taking chlorine dioxide orally, use DMSO a half-hour BEFORE taking the chlorine dioxide. Here is the oral use of chlorine dioxide article:
Chlorine Dioxide – Orally

More Information About Chlorine Dioxide

Chlorine dioxide is a molecule which is new in the fight against infections and cancer. It is particularly effective against cancers which are commonly associated with microbes. This includes melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma (both of these cancers spread via microbes), breast cancer (which is almost always associated with infections), cancers associated with yeast infections (e.g. uterine cancer), etc. In fact, chlorine dioxide by itself has cured advanced cases of melanoma. Adding the DMSO adds to its effectiveness in treating cancer.

Another advantage to taking chlorine dioxide transdermally is that for those with cancer, lyme disease, or other diseases where the disease has a localized presence, the chlorine dioxide can be taken through the skin right above the location of the disease.

For skin cancers, the chlorine dioxide may not be able to be put directly on the cancer. It depends on whether it is too painful. If it is not too painful, then put the mixture directly onto the skin cancer. If it is too painful, and if you are treating skin cancer, go to the home page of Cancer Tutor and search for “skin cancer” for other treatments.

Important Comments

It should be remembered from the Stage IV” article (Stage IV article) that killing cancer cells is only half the battle with cancer. Protecting and strengthening the non-cancerous cells is just as important.

Thus, during this treatment, it is essential that the cancer patient be on a strong “cancer diet,” meaning an “anti-cancer” diet.

For example, as with all “cancer diets,” AVOID: sugar, refined flour, animal proteins, etc. during this treatment, as these things, and many other foods, feed cancer cells.



 

Ingredients Needed to Make a Batch of Chlorine Dioxide / DMSO

The ingredients in the protocol consist of:
1) MMS (Miracle Mineral Supplement – 28% sodium chlorite) – at least 4 bottles,
2) 10% citric acid (may come in powdered or pre-mixed liquid form),
3) DMSO – two 8 ounce bottles,
4) High quality skin cream which does NOT contain any added antioxidants

To buy MMS and 10% citric acid, here are two different vendor product lines:
Global Light Network
H2O Air Water America

There are many other vendors of MMS if you wish to use Google. Whatever vendor you choose make sure the package also comes with a form of citric acid.

DMSO usually comes in the form of 99.9% pure DMSO, mixed with 30% water. This makes a 70/30 ratio. Do NOT use DMSO with less than 30% water. Also, DO NOT use a DMSO gel or DMSO cream. These will not bind to chlorine dioxide!!!

Here is one of many vendors of DMSO on the Internet where you can obtain liquid DMSO:
http://www.myvitanet.com/dmsoliq70con.html

Note: Because MMS is sold as a “water purifier” and because DMSO is sold as a “solvent” (due to potential FDA persecution) most health food stores are reluctant to sell these products.



 

How to Make a Batch of the: DMSO / Chlorine Dioxide Mixture

How and when to take a batch of the DMSO / chlorine dioxide mixture will be discussed in a moment, but first, we need to understand how to make a batch.

READ THIS SECTION SEVERAL TIMES to make sure you aren’t missing anything. Especially read it AFTER making one or two batches!! You would also be smart to have a second person look at the instructions to make sure you both agree on how to make a batch.

Step 1: Measuring the MMS

Using the dropper on the lid on the bottle of MMS, put exactly 15 drops of MMS in a small bowl.

If you weigh between 110 pounds and 130 pounds, use 12 drops instead of 15 drops. IF you weigh 110 pounds or less, use 9 drops instead of 15 drops.

At this point you should ADD the correct number of drops of MMS to a small bowl.

Step 2: Measuring the Volume of the Activator

The “activator” will either be citric acid or lemon juice or lime juice. Each will now be discussed.

If the citric acid comes in powdered form, you need to mix it with distilled water before using it. Here is the formula for what to put in the empty bottle:
1) Put 2 TEAspoons of the citric acid powder in the bottle,
2) ADD 3 ounces (i.e. 6 TABLEspoons) of water to the bottle (preferrably distilled water or reverse osmosis water).

Note: If the vendor’s instructions are different than the above instructions, use the vendor’s formula.

This will fill about 3/4 of the blue or brown bottle. This formula has the correct 10% citric acid mixture. Use doses for the activator using the blue or brown bottle.

Lemon Juice or Lime Juice
If you use lemon juice or lime juice as the activator, make sure you filter out all particles using a common kitchen strainer.

The Volume of the Activator
Regardless of your weight, add One TEAspoon of the “activator” (e.g. 10% citric acid) to the MMS.

At this point you should ADD the correct volume of the activator (citric acid, lemon juice or lime juice) to the MMS you already put in the small bowl.

Step 3: Your FIRST Wait of 3 Minutes

AFTER MIXING the MMS (i.e. sodium chlorite) with the activator, stir the mixture, then let it sit for 3 minutes, stirring the mixture every 30 seconds. This three minute wait creates the chlorine dioxide.

Step 4: Measuring the DMSO

AFTER the 3 minutes needed to make chlorine dioxide, add the liquid DMSO to the mixture.

In the same small bowl add 1 and 1/4 TEAspoons of DMSO. In other words, this is added to the chlorine dioxide you made above regardless of your weight.

Step 5: Your SECOND Wait of 3 Minutes

After ADDING the DMSO to the chlorine dioxide you need to mix the mixture, then wait an additional 3 minutes, stirring the mixture every 30 seconds.

This is the SECOND TIME you have waited 3 minutes. This time you are waiting for the DMSO to bind to the chlorine dioxide.

After this second wait of 3 minutes you have a mixture which is defined to be “One Batch” of Chlorine Dioxide / DMSO.



 

Summary of Making the Batch

The steps above can be summarized thusly:

1) Put 15 drops (or 12 drops or 9 drops) of MMS in a small bowl,
2) Add ONE TEAspoon of the “activator” (citric acid, lemon juice or lime juice),
3) WAIT 3 minutes (stir at first and every 30 seconds) to make the chlorine dioxide,
4) Add 1-1/4 TEAspoons of DMSO,
5) WAIT an additional 3 minutes (stir at first and every 30 seconds) for the DMSO to bind to the chlorine dioxide.

You have now made one batch of: DMSO / Chlorine Dioxide!!

Putting DMSO / Chlorine on the Skin (Transdermal)

Now you can rub the mixture onto your skin. Spead the mixture so that it is thin on your skin. This way it will penetrate faster and will create less of a skin rash. It should be spread very thinly, over a wide area of skin. This will create less of a rash.

It should be mentioned that latex gloves, rubber gloves or any other kind of gloves should NOT be used to spread any mixture containing DMSO. The DMSO can pull the materials in these gloves through the skin. Always use bare hands to spread the mixture, no matter who is spreading the mixture.

NO sooner than 15 minutes after spreading the mixture a skin cream, which has no antioxdants, can be used.

The Second Time in the Same Day

If you are using the DMSO mixture transdermally TWICE a day, use a different spot of skin the second time you make the mixture. For example, if you used the left and right arm to spread the mixture the first time, then use the left thigh and right thigh the second time you spread this mixture on your skin.

By doing this, no spot of your skin will be used more than once per day. This gives your skin an entire day to recover.

NO sooner than 15 minutes after spreading the mixture a skin cream, which has no antioxdants, can be used.



 

When To Take the: DMSO/Chlorine Dioxide Mixture

The Chlorine Dioxide / DMSO protocol should be taken twice a day. The doses should be taken 12 hours apart or as close to 12 hours apart as possible.

For example, a person may take one batch at 8:00 AM (i.e. 0800) and another batch at 8:00 PM (i.e. 2000).

Each “dose” of the mixture should be taken one-half hour after a pure dose of 2 TEAspoons of DMSO.

So, for example, suppose you are taking the morning batch:
1) At 8:00 AM take 2 TEAspoons of DMSO
2) At 8:30 AM take the DMSO/chlorine dioxide mixture

Then, for the evening dose:
1) At 8:00 PM take 2 TEAspoons of DMSO
2) At 8:30 PM take the DMSO/chlorine dioxide mixture

Because the DMSO may cause bad breath, if a person has to leave their house during the day, they may want to use breath mints. If a second person spreads the DMSO on the skin of the patient, they will also have bad breath and will not be able to notice the breath of the cancer patient.

About the Morning Dose

Melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma and uterine cancer patients do not need to use any DMSO during the morning dose, if and only if they can take the chlorine dioxide orally. The reason is that the key to treating these kinds of cancer is two-fold:
1) Stop the spreading of cancer,
2) Kill or revert stationary cancer cells.

The morning dose, even without DMSO, will stop the spread of the cancer (in fact, that is why the doses are 12 hours apart) because these cancer spread via microbes in the bloodstream. The evening dose will help handle both of the goals.

For ALL OTHER types of cancer, the DMSO in the morning and evening is required. It is the DMSO that gets the chlorine dioxide inside the cancer cells.

Neutrophils

The human body produces a highly effective antimicrobial solution

called  Hypochlorous Acid to fight infection. White blood cells release this natural oxidant

  to fight invading pathogens.

 The Hypochlorous Acid produced by the human body’s immune system:

  1. Reacts readily with a variety of microbial sub-cellular compounds
  2. Interferes with their metabolic processes
  3. Kills individual bacterium exposed within milliseconds

 

When an invading pathogen or infection threatens a human cell, the body’s immune system

 responds by destroying the pathogen before it can harm the cell. The invading pathogens

 are engulfed by white blood cells called neutrophils by the process of phagocytosis.

This antimicrobial process is called the Oxidative Burst Pathway.

      The Human Response      When a wound breaks human skin, it creates a gateway for harmful  pathogens to invade human cells. Neutrophils, which are a type of

white blood cell, live in human blood vessels.When pathogens invade a human cell, neutrophils travel to

the infection site to destroy the invading pathogen. The first step in this process is engulfing the pathogen.Once the neutrophil has completely surrounded

the pathogen, it produces an oxidant, Hypochlorous Acid.

Hypochlorous Acid is a biocide,

meaning it kills organic material within milliseconds of contact.

Once produced by the neutrophil, it kills the bacteria almost instantly.

Now look at this……..

Understanding the Physics of Weight Loss

 

I recently addressed the reason why weight loss drugs have historically fared quite badly, and in my view are likely to do so for the foreseeable future. Weight gain is normal when calories in exceed calories out on a daily basis. You cannot medicate away normal human physiology — any more than you give a fish a pill to let it breathe out of water.

Now, I would like to pick up the tale where I left off. Because there is more to the story of human weight gain than calories in versus calories out, as not a few of you have stressed in your comments and correspondence. Fundamentally, we are all a lot alike, but also quite a bit different.

The ways we are alike are what I have emphasized so far. It is, indeed, normal for the human body — any human body — to turn surplus calories first into glycogen (a small carbohydrate energy reserve) and then into fat (a much larger potential energy reserve).

And we are all governed by the prevailing laws of physics that relate matter and energy. Calories are a measure of energy, and matter cannot be created without energy input. Arguments against the fundamental role of energy balance in weight regulation — against calories in versus calories out — are arguments with Isaac Newton. Folks, nobody wins an argument with Isaac Newton!

And yet, I believe the innumerable patients I’ve had over the years who tell me something doesn’t quite add up for them. I believe them when they tell me they eat and exercise the same amount as someone else — but they get fat, while the other person stays slim. Or, worse still, that happens even though they eat less, and exercise more. If they are telling the truth- and I am thoroughly convinced they are- doesn’t it mean Newton had it wrong?

Nothing of the sort. All it means is that we are different, as well as alike.

While it is true for all of us that weight control is overwhelmingly, if not entirely, about calories in versus calories out, it is equally true that the number of calories required for weight loss, weight maintenance and weight gain vary drastically among us. And we even know why, for the most part.

There are, once we are done growing up, three ways we burn calories: physical activity, the generation of heat and just existing. There are technical terms for the second and third: thermogenesis, and resting energy expenditure (sometimes referred to as basal metabolic rate). What should be noteworthy right away is that you are not in charge of two out of the three!

You can choose how much exercise to do. But you don’t get to choose how thermogenic you tend to be, and that can matter quite a lot. Like exercise, thermogenesis accounts for roughly 15 percent of total energy expenditure on average, but there is lots of variation on the theme of average. People who generate more heat from calories have fewer available with which to make fat. They tend to be people who can eat a bit more, and stay thin anyway.

But that’s a drop in the bucket compared to resting energy expenditure. Roughly 65 percent of calories are burned to support the fundamental workings of cells and organs that keep us alive. The number of calories burned at rest, and the actual percentage of total calories burned this way, also vary substantially around the average. People with a high resting energy expenditure are, in our modern world of epidemic obesity, the fortunate few most people love to hate: the folks who cannot seem to get enough to eat, and can’t put weight on when they try.

If you don’t control your thermogenic tendencies, nor your resting energy expenditure — who does? The idiosyncrasies of the genetic hand you were dealt, which are not necessarily idiosyncratic at all.

Take the case of the Pima Indians, for instance.

When the Pimas live a traditional lifestyle and eat traditional Pima foods — mesquite and tepary beans, for example — they have unremarkable health. When they live and eat like everyone else in America, they develop almost universal, severe obesity and diabetes. For a time, the Pimas had the highest rates of obesity and diabetes on the planet, and they are still, alas, contenders for those laurels.

The dire plight of the Pimas resulted in intensive study of them, and it led to both revelations, and the obvious. The Pimas have, uniformly, a very low resting energy expenditure. They are, in other words, highly fuel efficient — even for a fuel efficient species — and it makes perfect sense. The Pimas lived for generations in a harsh desert climate where food was unusually scarce, and physical activity demands unusually high. Pimas who were not highly fuel efficient simply didn’t survive long enough to pass on their disadvantage to any future generation of Pimas. (People who don’t live to make babies make very poor ancestors.)

Presumably, the variations in metabolic efficiency to which we are all subject can also be traced to variations in the experiences of our ancestors. But for most of us, the magnitude of genetic mixing that has gone on makes those pathways impossible to follow.

So we wind up feeling — those among us who gain weight easily and lose it with extreme difficulty, if at all — that we are enigmas, outcasts, anomalies. We feel that the claim that we can eat less, exercise more, and weigh more nonetheless falls on unsympathetic ears.

Mine are not such ears. I hear you, and I believe you. It is about calories in versus calories out, but the calories required to reach or exceed a personal threshold vary widely, and under influences we neither choose nor control. That isn’t fair, but who ever promised it would be?

As a practical response to this, I am considering the establishment of a national exchange for the weight loss resistant, so these stories come together and reach a critical volume. I would also like to use it as a means of troubleshooting the problem; many heads will be better than any one. Let me know via email if you would like to join us.

In the interim, I remain unwilling to refute Sir Isaac. But that we are, despite being much the same, quite a bit different — I fully appreciate. I bet Newton would agree; I hope everyone does. Back to top

7 + Key Traits of the Ideal Doctor

A Good Attitude Goes a Long Way, Patients Tell Researchers
By Miranda Hitti
WebMD Health News
Reviewed by Ann Edmundson, MD

 

March 9, 2006 — What makes for an ideal doctor? Patients share their views in a new study.

The study appears in Mayo Clinic Proceedings. It’s based on nearly 200 patients treated at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona and Minnesota from 2001 to 2002.

In phone interviews with people who had no ties with the Mayo Clinic, the patients described their best and worst experiences with their Mayo Clinic doctors, with confidentiality guaranteed. The doctors seen by the patients came from 14 medical specialties.

 

The researchers — who included Neeli Bendapudi, PhD, of Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business — then checked the interview transcripts and spotted seven traits that patients favored in their doctors.

What Made the List?

 

Here are the seven traits listed by the patients, along with the patients’ definitions of those traits:

  • Confident: “The doctor’s confidence gives me confidence.”
  • Empathetic: “The doctor tries to understand what I am feeling and experiencing, physically and emotionally, and communicates that understanding to me.”
  • Humane: “The doctor is caring, compassionate, and kind.”
  • Personal: “The doctor is interested in me more than just as a patient, interacts with me, and remembers me as an individual.”
  • Forthright: “The doctor tells me what I need to know in plain language and in a forthright manner.”
  • Respectful: “The doctor takes my input seriously and works with me.”
  • Thorough: “The doctor is conscientious and persistent.”
  • Communication: Communication is an important part of any clinical practice. The job of a physician requires great communication skills especially when it comes to speaking and listening. The way in which a physician communicates information to a patient is just as important as the information being communicated. Patients who understand their doctors are more likely to admit their health problems, understand their treatment options, adjust their unhealthy patterns, and obediently follow their medication schedules.Empathetic: It’s important to understand and relate to a patient’s feelings. According to a study published in 2011 in Academic Medicine, patients of physicians that were more empathic were more likely to have good control over their blood sugar, while the converse was true for patients whose physician showed little to no empathy. This research suggests that when doctors respond empathetically at appropriate times, their patients tend to be happier and more motivated to stay on treatment.Passionate: No patient wants to walk into a doctor’s office and see a physician that no longer cares about their practice. A patient wants to see a doctor’s sincere desire to practice medicine and a genuine passion in helping others. Passion is a trait that will set you apart from being an ordinary doctor to being a patient’s “favorite doctor.”

    Professional: Professionalism is not clearly defined in the dictionary, but in the medical field it is generally accepted as acting with appropriate demeanor, respect and possessing proficiency to perform the job. A doctor that is professional is compelled to always put the patient’s well-being above their own self-interests. A patient will have greater trust and confidence in a doctor’s abilities when their visits are conducted with good manners and respect.

That list isn’t in any particular order. The researchers didn’t check whether confidence was more important to patients than respectful treatment, for instance. The Mayo Foundation funded the study.

 

 

 

 What Didn’t Make the List?

 The traits covered doctors’ behavior, not technical know-how.

That finding “does not suggest that technical skills are less important than personal skills, but it does suggest that the former are more difficult for patients to judge,” the researchers write.

They add that patients may tend to assume that doctors are competent unless they see signs of incompetence, the researchers add.

One patient put it this way in the study:

 

“We want doctors who can empathize and understand our needs as a whole person. … We want to feel that our doctors have incredible knowledge in their field. But every doctor needs to know how to apply their knowledge with wisdom and relate to us as plain folks who are capable of understanding our disease and treatment.”

Who Wants a Cold, Callous Doctor?

 The study is the first of its kind, writes James Li, MD, PhD, in a journal editorial.

Li works in the allergic diseases division of the Mayo Clinic’s medical school in Rochester, Minn. He notes that he would have liked to have seen more details on the patients who were interviewed, such as sex, race, and age. This information would be helpful since minorities and women have sometimes reported worse treatment from doctors than whites and men.

Still, Li says it’s natural for patients to want caring caregivers. He drafted a list of seven traits that are the opposite of those mentioned in the study:

  • Timid
  • Uncaring
  • Misleading
  • Cold
  • Callous
  • Disrespectful
  • Hurried
  • Unprofessi0nal

“Can health-care really ever be high quality if the patient-physician interaction is hurried, disrespectful, cold, callous, or uncaring?” Li writes.

Does the quality of health care vary?
Yes, some health plans and doctors simply do a better job than others of helping you stay healthy and getting you better if you are ill. The choices you make—about health plans, doctors, hospitals, or nursing homes—can influence the quality of care you get.

How can you tell which choices offer high-quality health care and which do not?
Fortunately, more and more groups are working on ways to measure, report on, and improve the quality of health care. Keep checking for new information to help you make choices to improve the quality of your own care.

What is high-quality health care and how is it measured?
High-quality health care means doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, for the right person—and having the best possible results. There are two main types of information that can help you choose high-quality health care:

  1. Consumer ratings: These look at health care from the consumer’s point of view. For example, do doctors in a health care plan communicate well?
  2. Clinical performance/technical measures: These measures look at how well a health care organization prevents and treats illness. For example, do children get the immunizations (shots) they need when they need them?

Where can I find information on the quality of health care?
Reports on quality go by different names, including performance reports and report cards. Reports on quality don’t tell you which health care choices are the best. They can help you decide which are best for you, based on the things that are most important to you. Here are some reports on the quality of health care in Wisconsin:

Quality and health plans

  • NCQA Health Choices displays Health Plan Report Cards compiled by the National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA). NCQA is a private nonprofit organization that accredits health plans. Accreditation is a “seal of approval.” To earn accreditation, organizations must meet national standards, often including clinical performance measures. Organizations choose whether to participate in accreditation programs. Accreditation is not a guarantee of the quality of care that any individual patient will receive or that any individual physician or other provider delivers.
  • Medicare Plan Finder from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) provides recent consumer ratings and clinical performance measures for all Medicare managed care plans.
  • Wisconsin BadgerCare Plus HMO Choice Booklet (includes BadgerCare Plus Report Card) (PDF, 292 KB) compares HMOs that serve Wisconsin BadgerCare Plus members in nine areas of health care and four areas of member satisfaction.
  • Health Plan Report Card (PDF, 3.5 MB) is published by the Department of Employee Trust Funds for state employees. The report card includes consumer ratings and technical measures.
  • The Performance and Progress Report from the Wisconsin Collaborative for Healthcare Quality includes information on quality for a variety of Wisconsin health plans.

Quality and hospitals

  • Hospital Compare, from CMS, allows you to check on the quality of care provided for conditions like heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia at hospitals throughout the country.
  • Checkpoint, from the Wisconsin Hospital Association, provides some information on the quality of care provided by many Wisconsin hospitals. The site includes measures of how well hospitals performed when caring for patients with heart attacks, heart failure, and pneumonia as well as information on what hospitals are doing to prevent errors.
  • The Leapfrog Group Hospital Survey: Reports from hospitals on progress they have made toward meeting four safety standards established by The Leapfrog Group, a coalition of public and private organizations that purchase health care benefits for their employees.
  • The Performance and Progress Report from the Wisconsin Collaborative for Healthcare Quality includes information on quality for many Wisconsin hospitals.

Quality and nursing homes

  • Nursing Home Compare, from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, provides clinical performance measures and results of state inspections for all Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing homes.

Quality and doctors/clinics

Quality and medical labs

  • Helping You Identify Quality Laboratory Services (PDF, 39 KB). Although you can’t always choose the lab where your tests are processed, this checklist from the Joint Commission can help you judge the quality of the lab your clinic or physician uses. The Joint Commission is a nonprofit organization that evaluates health care quality and safety.
  • Quality Check is a service offered by the Joint Commission that lets you look up medical laboratories by name or location.

Questions and answers about American health care.

 

Are the Unemployed Required to Buy Insurance?

 
By In general, everyone is required to have insurance starting in 2014, even people who are unemployed. But you’ll be exempt from the requirement if your income is below the tax-filing threshold (in 2009, that amount was $9,350 for singles under age 65), or if buying even the lowest cost plan on the new health insurance exchanges, set to open that year, would exceed 8 percent of your income.

 

If you have no income or just a small amount, you may be eligible for coverage under Medicaid, which was expanded under the new health law to cover adults with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $14,400 this year.

If you can afford to look for insurance on the exchanges, subsidies will be available for people with incomes up to 400 percent of the poverty level ($43,320 in 2010). Generally, eligibility for subsidies will be based on your household income in the most recent tax year for which information is available, said Timothy Jost, a law professor at Washington and Lee University. But if you lose your job and your income drops, your eligibility will be based on an estimate of your household income for the coming taxable year, Mr. Jost said.

A letter to President Obama:

 Serious Proposals for Health Care need to be addressed – 90% if not more Americans are addicted to unhealthy, hard to digest food. We need to take personal responsibility to learn Nutrition. This will give us the skill to use Willpower. This is where we challenge our Willpower to make common sense choices. The choice and knowing the difference between good fat-bad fat, good sugar-bad sugar, good salt-bad salt.

Teach Nutrition early in kindergarten and continue through 12 grades.

Nutrition Education made easy to understand.

We would reap huge savings in health care with this nutritional directive which you should put into America’s mindset.

Ask not what your country can do for you…. ask what you can do for yourself.

Know which food groups to properly combine for best assimilation and digestion.
