1. Cancer Confidential Going Strong

I received this very moving note just a few days ago:

Dear Professor,

When you first announced the version 1.0 of "Cancer Confidential", I obtained it, having my Uncle in mind (a Farmer in a neighbouring state) who had just been diagnosed with Bowel Cancer.  Knowing that he did not want to have a bar of chemo/radiation and the like as a treatment, I felt it would be of help to him.  And it was of great help, he even convinced his Doctor to read “Cancer Confidential” and had him partially converted to alternative treatment, in his case. According to my Aunt, he got a lot of encouragement from the pages of your book and as a result was coming around to a better condition day by day. 

Unfortunately, what the Cancer could not achieve, some idiotic, drunken driver achieved with a hit and run, fatal accident.  We buried my Uncle just two weeks ago.

A sad ending for the family, yet, as far as your pages are concerned, they gave him confidence, hope and a lot of courage. So, Professor, your Cancer Confidential had, for him, become a Cancer Confidence-ial.  And we all thank you for it very, very much.

Best wishes, Kurt.

For those of you who still haven't got a copy, it's time you did. I want everyone to be cancer educated BEFORE they deliver the knee-shaking diagnosis. Don't forget my saying that we are all facing cancer because, even if you don't get it, someone very close to you will. 50% of males and almost that may women will get cancer at some time in their lives.

2. Help Me With This Please: Is He Genuine?

In 1995 I was in Russia (St. Petersburg) giving an address. I found an amazing spiritual people, who's depth was quite undamaged by decades of beating down with communist oppression of anything but didactic materialism. The woman I was with at the time (not my second wife) was very psychic and many local people could "feel" it from her and humbly wanted to touch her dress. We doctors talked (scientifically) about remote viewing and torsion fields (see Virtual Medicine).

I met a famous seer Yevgeny who had engaged in trials with the Russian Navy and been able to psychically locate every ship of the fleet wherever it was on planet Earth within half a kilometre. We call this "remote viewing" and don't let the idiocy and truth manipulations of people like James Randi put you off it's real nature. It works. The military don't fool around with New Age delusions.

So when I came across the work of Nicolai Levashov, a gifted psychic healer, I had no sceptical resistance. He has attempted the possibility of of healing Ch'i energies over electronic equipment. I have already written in my paradigm-busting Virtual Medicine that this could happen and had been domenstrated by Ch'i Gung masters.

Levashov, incidentally, is a theoretical physicist of the highest order.

Levashov offers healing videos that you can play on your computer and he will give you the fluence over the electronics! I'd like those of you interested in this sort of thing to check it out and tell me whether you could feel anything. I'm not revealing yet whether I could sense anything but my wife Vivien says she definitely could.

Levashov is convinced enough something really happens that he issues a warning. If you are going to investigate this for me, I ask you to follow his recommended procedures exactly, so I know you won't get hurt.

You can download the recovery videos (zipped on this page: http://www.levashov.info/Video/video-en.html

Do not forget to read the RULES on the same page BEFORE you try it.

If you want to learn more about Levashov and hear his gifts discussed, watch this Google video:

3. Some Thoughts About Road Rage

A recent announcement of US statistics for road rage has prompted wider thoughts.

Here (USA) the league table apparently runs New York (worst), Detroit , Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta and Minneapolis-St Paul fifth. Miami was #1 for years but is now 7th.

I was surprised that California got off lightly. The driving here in Los Angeles country is pretty grim and competitive.

Of course the US isn't the only country with this problem. According to one UK survey I found, 20% of drivers admitted experiencing road rage and over 70% admitted commiting the offence themselves.

I was surprised when I got there that this was a very common problem in Sri Lanka, where I lived for a couple of years. The islanders are friendly, happy-go-lucky and gentle by nature. But put them behind the wheel of a car and they drive like crazed monsters; and I'm talking CONTACT here, not angry gestures at a distance. My car soon looked like it had rolled down an embankment!

Isn't that the problem for us all though? We are good natured people, aren't we? No really. But once behind the wheel of a car we change character. We tend to become competitive and aggressive.

Why is that? I well remember a funny sketch by Irish comedian Dave Allen in which he points out this folly and the odd paradox that when we are merely walking, we don't get angry if someone walks past us; we don't rush after them to overtake them; and wouldn't knock them to the floor for passing on our right instead of our left.

Isn't that weird?

4. Matters Of The Heart

Wow! This is getting exciting. Lots of people are alive because of pig parts [I have no idea whether this is kosher or not - would Brooklyn Grant please comment?]

Then the big idea was to genetically engineer pigs which wouldn't have the usual antigen-antibody rejections problem, so that when their organs were transplanted to a human recipient they wouldn't be rejected. Didn't work.

But now it's moving up a page and a half! Experiments have shown it is possible to strip down animal hearts, so that only the fibrous collagen "skeleton" remains, and then populate that with new heart muscle, grown from the person's own stem cells!

A team in Minnesota have shown that it's entirely possible, using a rat heart. They got it to start beating naturally. They went on to get their "designer heart" plumbed with blood vessels. We are nearly there. The first human regrown heart is just around the corner.

[you'll know I've warned people against stem cells being marketed currently because the technology isn't yet safe. But here there is no issue, because the stem cells are done before the organ is put into the human body].

5. Switzerland Sets The Pace By Voting For Alternative Medicine

Swiss physician, chemist, alchemist, one of the fathers of modern medicine, Paracelsus (1493- 1541) was the chosen pseudonym of a man born Theophrastus Bombastus Hohenheim. A rebellious thinker, Paracelsus developed his own system of medicine and philosophy. Today he is seen as the much-beloved founder of "alternative medicine".

Paracelsus was notoriously rude and abrupt, which he explains for himself:

"By nature I am not subtly spun, nor is it the custom of my native land to accomplish anything by spinning silk. Nor are we raised on figs, nor on mead, nor on wheaten bread, but on cheese, milk and oatcakes, which cannot give one a subtle disposition. Moreover, a man clings all his days to what he received in his youth; and my youth was coarse as compared to that of the subtle, pampered, and over-refined. For those who are raised in soft clothes and in women's apartments and we who are brought up among the pine-cones have trouble in understanding one another well." (from Paracelsus: Selected Writings, ed. by Jolande Jacobi, 1951)

What we know is that Paracelsus was born in Einsiedeln, Switzerland, the only son of a poor German physician. Around 1509 he started his studies of chemistry and medicine at the University of Basle. After receiving his bachelors degree in 1510, he learned about metals and minerals and mining diseases at the mines in the Tirol. He later earned a doctorate, perhaps from the University of Ferrara.

Between the years 1510 and 1524 Paracelsus wandered through Europe, Russia and the Middle East, learning the practice of medicine as a military surgeon and acquired a considerable knowledge of alchemy. It is thought that he learned the Hermetic secrets from Arabian adepts in Constantinople. "The physician," he wrote, "is he who in the bodily diseases takes the place of God and administers for Him."

In 1526, supported by the famous scholar Erasmus, Paracelsus became professor of medicine in the University of Basel, lecturing in German, not Latin. In Basel he burned publicly the works of Avicenna and Galen and declared that his cap had more learning in it than all the heads in the university. Not a way to stay popular! (see "what's in a word?" below)

I quoted him significantly in my own book "Virtual Medicine", as you probably know.

Anyway, the rebellious tradition of Paracelsus lives on in Switzerland.

On May 17, 2009, the people of Switzerland voted in favor of a constitutional amendment that supports the use of complementary medicine (CAM). A total of 67 percent of the population voted in favor. Thus Switzerland becomes the first country in Europe to set out in its constitution authority for the national government and its constituent states to take CAM into consideration in its health services. It is an astonishing victory and may set the model for other countries as well.

All in the tradition of Paracelsus.

6. Rest In Peace: Farrah and Michael

Well, we lost two. I'm not a big fan of either but I recognize talent when I see it. The main upset for me, reading stories like theirs, is to see the grossness of medical care these celebrities got.

I know the inside skinny on Farrah, which is that she went to a supposed alternative cancer clinic in Germany. But they sold her on stem cell therapy. She died.

There is no evidence of any kind that stem cell therapy helps cancer. There is very solid evidence that stem cells CAUSE cancer (trophoblasts). I have told the whole story in Cancer Confidential and can say with my usual assurance (undoubtedly somewhat arrogant) that Farrah was abused by ghouls after the dollar.

I've been teaching you for years NOT to get stem cell therapy. It isn't ready; it's dangerous. People who sell it are little better than crooks. (see item #4, if you didn't already).

Stem cell enhancers may work. But again, no evidence they do anything good with cancer.

As for Michael's problem. Who knows? His health care workers were just riding the celebrity dollars, not doing their job. I heard his doctor is hiring a layer. He's going to need one.

But one thing is for sure: lack of love underlies all. No life is worth living if you are lonely and isolated; strange and out of touch; no matter how rich you are or how many thronging admirers hang around you.

A life without love is no life at all.

Anyway, this prompted me to re-start posting an old blog called celebrity-health.com Take a look!

What's In A Word?

Vitriolic.

A good word which has been used to describe Paracelsus (see section #5 in this issue).

It means harsh or corrosive in tone; bitter words; blistering criticism; basically really nasty down and deep.

If I tell you oil of vitriol is the old name for sulfuric acid (you know, the smoking acrid stuff in the school labs that would eat away at metal), you'll get the point.

It comes via Middle English, and Old French, from Late Latin vitreolum, neuter of vitreolus, of glassand original Latin vitreus (referring to the glossy appearance of the crystals of sulfates, such as blue copper sulfate crystals which you will be familiar with).

This Week's Quote:

When science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the centuries of its experience.

Fred Hoyle, British astronomer.

So, that's all for this week!

Be well; find the sacred in all you do, otherwise don't do it!
