You read that right — a dentist might be able to give you your memory back. Take Dr. Richard Coe as an example. Dr. Coe is a 68-year-old, conventional family physician from Tacoma, Washington. How he escaped from Alzheimers is a fantastic story.

In 1999, Dr. Coe was noticing mistakes in his medical work. His short-term memory was hit hard. He was dropping doses and numbers from his prescriptions. His wife noticed his growing difficulty making decisions and increasing fatigue. As a veteran, he got a full VA evaluation from two experts and three private doctors. After hours of formal cognitive testing, all five agreed that he had Alzheimers disease. That was in August 1999. The following month, he dropped out of practice.

He continued to gradually deteriorate. By December 2003, he felt ready to die. He could not get enough sleep, ran on empty, and could do his yard work for only one hour a day. His astute wife noticed that he had significant snoring and sleep apnea. She was already seeing Dr. Robson for a TMJ dysfunction and was doing well. She suggested that he see Dr. Robson.

Dr. Coe, an orthodox physician, admits he was 100% skeptical that a mouth splint could correct his sleep problem. Nevertheless, he went to see Dr. Robson in early 2004, mainly to please his wife. The following day, I felt extremely good, he noted. I never had an improvement that good. My wife said I was brighter and not moping around like I had a black cloud over my head. I slept through the night for the first time in years. And my memory was returning.

Dr. Coe, formally diagnosed with Alzheimers disease and retired from practice in August 1999, returned to full-time work on July 3, 2004. He would have started back on April 1, except that malpractice insurance was not immediately available.

Dr. Robson has turned my clock back at least 15 years. My memory and energy are as good as ever. I had only 12 visits with him. Even Dr. Coes long-term problem with depression was improved. My treating physician, an internist, does not believe the story, he told me. But I am telling everyone I can!

Friend, this is a case of diagnosed Alzheimers that is been completely cured! Is it possible many cases of Alzheimers are caused by sleep apnea? Definitely!

Dr. Robson is devoted to teaching other dentists his methods. Have your dentist call Dr. Robson to get more information about his training sessions.

Tabby, a 14BD-year-old cat, had a squamous cell cancer on it is nose. The cancer had eaten away the whole nose to face level. Dr. Gross says squamous cell skin cancers in cats are similar to humans, they are sun related and can be aggressive.

He dissolved 100 mg artemisinin (from NutriCology) in a small amount of 50% DMSO. He then applied it directly on the cancer at least twice daily.

You may remember artemisinin, an herbal extract that you first read about in these pages three years ago. Artemisinin is the worlds number one treatment for malaria. However, it has the ability to kill cancer cells by the same mechanism that it kills malaria.

Its important to remove scabs and apply it directly to the tumor. Dr. Gross also gave the cat artemisinin orally — 100 mg, three times a week. That would be the equivalent of seven mg per pound in an adult human.

Within four to six weeks, the cancer was gone and the nose of Tabby eventually grew back completely! And the amazing thing, when the nose grew back, it came in pink, just like a newborn cat. It then developed pigment spots, which filled in completely, just like normal kitten development.

I've had other cases, in humans, where superficial cancers have regressed after applying artemisinin. This is exciting news, since surgery can be disfiguring even if successful.

I am eager to get feedback on topical artemisinin. If you happen to try it while awaiting conventional therapy, please let me know your experiences.

The FDA recently approved the topical drug imiquimod (brand name: Aldara) for specific types of basal-cell cancers. This drug stimulates the immune system to cause local inflammation. The inflammation can kill the wayward cells.

In two studies involving 179 treated patients, and 179 placebo recipients, there was a 75% clearing compared to only 2% respectively after 12 weeks. After two years, 79% of those who cleared the cancer remained cancer free.

Now here are the caveats. The FDA approved it only for superficial basal cell cancers in people with competent immune systems. And the cancer must be located on the trunk, neck, or extremities, excluding hands and feet. It also cannot exceed two cm in size.

I would prefer this to surgery for myself. However, most problematic basal cells occur on the head and face. I believe it is only a matter of time before this or another agent is found to be successful for these lesions. Now that the product is on the market, your physician can legally try this off-label in the privacy of his office. So if you have failed surgical treatment for head and/or face basal cell cancer, this is good news. I would not hesitate to use it, along with artemisinin, in these cases.

The long-running Framingham study has now linked elevated homocysteine to a doubled risk of Alzheimers for those with the highest levels. And a Netherlands study has linked homocysteine to a two-to-four times elevated risk of osteoporosis.

Homocysteine damages mitochondria, the furnaces that generate energy in your body. Their injury can directly accelerate cell death and aging.

Action to Take: (1) Please get your homocysteine levels checked. If it is 10.0 or greater, then consider the treatments in #2 and #3 below.

(2) A Harvard professor reports lowered homocysteine levels in those with good lifestyle habits, including quitting (or never starting) smoking, exercising, and reducing alcohol consumption. This is the first place to start, along with a good diet. Plus it is free.

(3) Get plenty of folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12 (especially), and betaine (found in beets), which help rid your body of unwanted homocysteine. When bread and cereal makers added folate (which is a salt of folic acid) to their flour in 1996 to combat birth defects, it dropped neural tube defects by 20 percent. But it also dropped mortality from stroke and heart disease. Researchers estimate that folic acid added to food led to 31,000 fewer deaths from stroke between 1998 and 2001. In those same years, it also saved 17,000 from heart disease.

It makes sense to get plenty of folic acid from your diet and supplements. However, I am not a fan of flour. There are far better ways to get folic acid; the best is in fresh vegetables. You can also get it in B-complex supplements and most multivitamins. Healthy Resolves Max Plus has ample amounts of all the B-vitamins. I recommend you take at least 800 mcg of folic acid, 100 mg of vitamin B6, and 100 mg of vitamin B12 daily.

The first study indicates that an elevated CRP measurement is common with colon cancer. Researchers measured CRP in 22,887 Maryland adults in 1989. These subjects were followed for the next 11 years. Higher CRP was found in those who subsequently developed cancer. Those with the highest CRP had the highest risk (about 2.5 times those with the lowest). The weakness of this study was that CRP was measured only once, and the study did not determine whether elevated CRP is a risk for colon cancer or a consequence. However, the association is clear.

Another study shows that high CRP is also associated with macular degeneration (MD). In the study, 930 subjects had CRP tested in the mid-1990s. This study controlled for other known risk factors, such as smoking, age, sex, and body mass index. Those with the highest CRP were 65% more likely to develop MD.

Action to Take: (1) Have your doctor test for CRP. I think it is one of the most important tests you can have done. Its far more important than cholesterol. CRP is a measure of inflammation system-wide. That means it can cross the boundaries between the vascular and immune systems, making it an independent risk factor for a variety of diseases. I measure it routinely in my patients.

If your CRP level is elevated, it signals inflammation is present somewhere in your body. But it does not necessarily tell you where. You will need to see an astute integrative physician who can help detect the source, and eliminate it! You can find a doctor by calling one of the organizations on page 7.

(2) Take 500 mg of curcumin, three times daily. Curcumin, the substance that gives turmeric it is yellow color, is the most effective way to lower CRP. I especially like a product called FYI (For Your Inflammation). FYI is available at Farmacopia or at gardenoflifeusa.com

Unfortunately, high blood pressure sometimes is a very difficult problem to solve. And you might have a stubborn case that does not respond to natural treatments. Its rare, but I do see it happen. And some people have trouble sticking to a lengthy fast or strict diet.

If you fall into one of those groups, there is a group of prescription drugs that will actually reduce your risk of heart attack with minimal side effects. The drugs are called ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors).

ACE inhibitors, long my favorite conventional treatment for blood pressure, sharply decrease the rate of endothelial cell death. Endothelia are the cells that line the inside of your vessels. They are critical to healthy circulation. All cells die after a certain amount of time (apoptosis). If the death rate is too high, you lose function. If more of these fragile endothelial cells die than should, you get holes in your vessels. This causes cholesterol and toxic compounds to build up in your vessels, which is called atherosclerosis.

At the beginning of a recent study, the researchers found that the healthy participants had 1.3% of their endothelial cells die and get replaced every 30 minutes. In heart-diseased patients, the rate was 7.8% per 30 minutes.

Those with heart disease were given an ACE inhibitor or a placebo. In the group that took the placebo, the death rate remained at the 7.8% rate.

However, in the patients given the drug, the cell death rate fell from 7.8% in the beginning to 4.7% by the end of the study. Still higher than normal, but a huge improvement. It offers a reason why the risk of heart attack falls with ACE inhibitor use, whether the user has hypertension or not. Simple use of ACE inhibitors slows down the stripping of your arterial lining.

I believe this rate would be reduced even more if the natural means I discuss in these pages were used at the same time as the drug.

Action to take: Now I do not recommend you stop what you are doing and rush to start on these drugs. I think endothelial cell death can be reduced with chelation therapy, which rids these cells of poisons such as lead. Eating the Living Foods Diet will provide them with nutrients to remain healthy.

Combine these two with proper exercise and herbs and supplements individualized for you by your integrative physician, and you can likely reduce your blood pressure and apoptosis rate without chemicals.

However, if you are one with serious and stubborn hypertension, an ACE inhibitor may be your best bet.

Agnes Rimando, PhD, who works for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, says that a grape phytochemical called pterostilbene reduces cholesterol as well as ciprofibrate, a drug that lowers cholesterol and triglycerides. That drug, which is not available in the U.S., is in the same class as Lopid and Tricor, which are available in the States.

Both pterostilbene and resveratrol belong to a group of chemicals called phytoalexins. Plants produce these in self-defense to fight off attacking fungal infections and damage caused by ultraviolet light and various chemicals. Both also exhibit strong antifungal activity. But pterostilbene appears to be 60 to 100 times more potent as a fungicide. I expect Big Pharma will extract this natural compound and create a synthetic fungal cure at some point. Hopefully, it will be better than the very nasty synthetic chemicals it produces now.

Pterostilbene has another benefit not found in resveratrol. Several animal studies have shown that the compound can lower blood glucose. So it may be a potent anti-diabetic agent. This may help explain why grapes and blueberries do not increase blood sugar as much as you would expect from such a sweet food.

Additionally, pterostilbene has proven to fight cancer as powerfully as resveratrol. Both have shown similar anti-cancer activity in lab tests, says Dr. Rimando.

Resveratrol and pterostilbene and other similar compounds in structure and activity are also found in blueberries. Dark grapes appear to have the highest content, but interestingly, wine has little. Apparently, when you convert grape juice to wine, the process destroys this compound.

Action to take: This news is so new that the vitamin manufacturers have not had time to make pterostilbene into a supplement yet — at least I've not found it. But that is not all bad news.

I am sure it wont be long before pterostilbene will be available as a supplement and it will likely be just as effective, if not more so, than resveratrol. However, I suspect it will be far more expensive. The fruits that have these compounds have a 5-10:1 ratio of resveratrol to pterostilbene. So it will be much more difficult to extract the pterostilbene than resveratrol and, thus, more expensive.

Grape extracts probably do contain some amount of pterostilbene. But manufacturers do not test for it. So I cant say for sure.

Resveratrol is an outstanding nutritional supplement. And I often recommend Healthy Resolves Advanced Resveratrol Formula. (See the enclosed insert for details.) But that is just what it is, a supplement. Only whole living foods, such as grapes and blueberries, have the total spectrum of phytonutrients we need for optimal health. I strongly encourage you to increase your consumption of organic grapes and blueberries. We do not know yet how many grapes must be eaten for specific benefit, but you can eat as many as you want.

But you do not have to be sick to enjoy the benefits of this product, as it is also a great preventive and general health booster. It works so well on your overall health, that it will even help lower your cholesterol, prevent osteoporosis, and boost the ability of the cells in your body to fight allergens.

It sounds too good to be true. But it is not! In fact, it helps with a lot more ailments than just the ones I've already listed. Let me explain.

Your gut, if healthy, is loaded with beneficial germs. These bacteria fight off bad bacteria, viruses, and fungal infections in your gut. They also stimulate your immune system to fight a wide variety of organisms in the rest of your body. Few people, even doctors, realize that the majority of the immune cells in your body are located in your intestinal tract! This makes sense, as the most common source of germs and bacteria is the food you eat.

What this means is that you have a great deal of control over the health of these bacteria. What you eat, the medicines you take (antibiotics kill all bacteria, including the good ones), and the toxins you are exposed to all affect these bacteria. There are even wonderful products called probiotics that help re-colonize these good bacteria after they have been depleted.

Probiotics range in strength from extremely poor quality to very high quality. The most powerful ones save many peoples lives by fighting off all kinds of illnesses.

The most common and most powerful probiotics on the market to date are the various strains of Lactobacillus and Bifido bacteria. And, in my opinion, the best ones contain the species acidophilus — you might be familiar with Lactobacillus acidophilus R0052 or L. acidophilus NAS.

But now there is a new super-probiotic that was discovered in Russia after the Chernobyl disaster. Its a completely different strain of Lactobacillus called bulgaricus. Lactobacillus bulgaricus is commonly used in some wonderful probiotic formulas. But the Russians discovered an even more powerful strain following the devastating Chernobyl horror. In the worlds worst nuclear accident, 20,000 were killed outright and millions of other innocent victims have endured unspeakable suffering and lingering deaths.

In the wake of the disaster, the Russian military issued a plea for the discovery of any remedy that could benefit the radiation-ravaged survivors. Their requirements: It had to be effective, low cost, and safe. The State Scientific Research Institute of Highly Pure Bio-preparations in St. Petersburg was given the task. This center was the primary research center for Russian biological and chemical warfare products during the Cold War.

The researchers had a difficult task in front of them. They had to figure out a way to rebuild the immune systems of people who were not responding to any treatment given to them. Medications are sparse in Russia. And the ones they had were not working.

After the scientists analyzed more than 600 prospective products, only one met the demands of the military. And it was not a drug, vitamin, or herb. It was this particular strain of Lactobacillus bulgaricus. But it was not even the whole bacteria, like we use here in the U.S. Instead, they used a portion of the cell wall of the organism.

Medical science has known for years that fractions of bacterial cell walls have enormous effects on the immune system, both good and bad. In fact, on the negative side, cell-wall toxins from harmful bacteria in your blood can create a condition called gram negative shock. In such a case, your blood pressure could drop to a life threatening 40, just as if you lost most of your blood, and you could have a temperature of 105o F. But on the positive side, cell wall fragments used in properly prepared vaccines can stimulate immunity to specific microorganisms.

The researchers first tested the new preparation on radiated immune-deficient mice. By the seventh day, these animals had six times the antibody production as control mice. And the overall survival rate of these mice jumped from 40% to 100%. Mice that received a sub-lethal dose of radiation doubled their survival at 30 days from 35% to 70%.

Then the researchers treated many immune-depressed patients from the Chernobyl accident. Within two days, these patients reported great energy improvements. With- in two weeks, their blood chemistry was almost back to normal. Within one month, patients stopped getting sick.

Next, they treated patients with cancer. In 89 of these patients, chemotherapy and radiation had destroyed enough of their white blood cells that therapy had to be discontinued. Once the new probiotic preparation was administered, their levels of white blood cells increased enough that the toxic therapies could be completed.

One female, age 43, suffered from late-stage breast cancer. The tumor was about four centimeters across and she also had a smaller lesion in her armpit. In addition to chemo and radiation (but no surgery), she was given the preparation (10 mg per kilogram of body weight, twice daily for one year). After one month, examination suggested the lesion was dying. Four years later, she had no discernible disease. That is quite remarkable!

With cancer, the potential savings to society are astronomical. When toxic therapy compromises the immune system, synthetic drugs must be administered to bolster white blood cell production, at a very great expense. And if infection does occur, the results are life threatening and often bankrupting. Imagine if all this could be avoided with a non-toxic immune stimulator that costs only a few dollars.

For those patients who require surgery, the news is just as great. Surgical morbidity is a major problem in hospitals, especially in Third World countries. The product reduced surgical complications and increased the speed of wound healing. This is fantastic news for any surgical procedure – not just cancer.

And to give you an idea of how far reaching this product is, take a look at the results of another Russian study. This one followed 74 chronic bronchitis patients, aged 20-65, and divided them into treatment and control groups. The treatment group, which took the probiotic extract, saw their bronchitis disappear within six to eight weeks. The preparation significantly increased the ability of their immune system to fight the infection. The controls saw no improvement.

I've seen oxidative therapies boost immune systems to this level. But I've never seen a supplement do it. So this is truly an amazing discovery. For most oxidative therapies, you have to visit a doctors office and pay for the visit as well as the therapy. Now you can boost your immune system with an inexpensive supplement and no doctors visit.

Take Marilyn S. as an example of how well this product works. She complained of terrible yeast problems. Diet helped, but only moderately. After three months of treatment, her vaginal discharge vanished, stomach cramps disappeared, and all other symptoms were gone.

One 60-year-old man suffered from prostate cancer and also had a severe foot fungus. Following prostate removal, he developed digestive problems. He took the preparation for 10 days and the foot fungus cleared. In just 20 days, his severe diarrhea and cramps were gone. Hes taken the product for two years now and has not had the flu, or even a cold, in that time.

The Russian researchers also found this extract has anti-allergy properties, lowers cholesterol, stimulates production of stomach acid for digestion, relieves constipation, enhances calcium metabolism and reduces osteoporosis development, and fights cold and flu-like symptoms.

As you can see, the Russians have developed an absolutely miraculous probiotic extract that needs to be in everyones supplement regimen. Its now available under the brand name Delta Immune, which is available at any store that sells NutriCologys products. If you search on the Internet, you will find many companies that sell it, usually for less than $20 a bottle (60 capsules).

Because the final product is not made from living bacteria, it does not have to be refrigerated, which makes it a much easier product to ship, store, and use. Friend, if you have a poisoned immune system or simply want to stay as healthy as you can for the rest of your life, then this product is for you!

Heres what the medical opposition said in it is losing battle: Were talking about very strong drugs, and were dealing with patients with very serious problems, said Dr. Michael Fleming of the American Academy of Family Physicians. The Academy contended that the 20 hours of training given these non-MDs was insufficient for such powerful drugs.

Well, I agree. However, the Academy needs to take a good look in the mirror. When you look at the hours of training in this narrow class of chemicals, I bet the psychologists actually received more hours of training per psychoactive drug than most MDs ever do for the litany of drugs on the market.

The position of the Academy is bankrupt as far as I am concerned. They are not trained to evaluate the terribly powerful and toxic chemicals they fill bodies with. And they do not have a clue about multi-drug interactions. Otherwise, drug-induced deaths would not be the 4th leading cause of death in the country.

The moral of the story is — find alternatives to prescription drugs. There is almost always one available. Conventional medicine is in growing disarray and you do not need to be a victim of it is confusion.

A Dutch study conducted from 1990-1997 followed 4,807 participants for chronic disease incidence in relationship to their diet and other lifestyle factors. During the study, there were 146 heart attacks — 30 of which were fatal. Those who were in the habit or drinking more than 12 ounces of black tea per day had roughly half the risk of a heart attack as non-tea drinkers. And the risk of a fatal heart attack was cut by one-third.

The study authors believe the higher intake of specific flavonoids in tea offered the heart-protective effects. Flavonoids are naturally occurring compounds that act as free-radical scavengers. Halting the free-radical attack on the endothelium (inner vessel lining) is likely the most important factor in preventing the heart attacks. Evidence of the value of flavonoids was further seen when the researchers evaluated specific dietary flavonoid intakes. These reduced the risk of fatal heart attacks, but not non-fatal heart attacks.

Action to take: I am currently drinking a significant amount of green and/or black tea almost daily. Black tea has most if not all the protective ingredients as green tea. Water is the most important liquid to drink. However, I've been replacing some of my water intake with organic tea. This is a most inexpensive and natural way to lower heart disease risk. Drink as much organic tea as you wish. If you like it sweetened, use Stevia (which is available at most health food stores).
