What's At Stake?

If you are complacent, and uninformed, your freedom will be swept away from you in a heartbeat. Don't let these elitists insult your intelligence and use your power to vote to preserve your freedom.

what is it about my conviction to natural therapy?

I will explain to you the major points that crystallize my belief in natural product which happened approximately 1996.

1) Observation of failure by conventional synthetic medicine to do the job it claims to do.

2) Wondering why this system costs patients so much money and why this scrambled and flawed system is available only to the insured, which happen to be the very few upper class. The middle class, highly educated, family values demographic is the demographic who suffers most financially and sometimes through death by this supposedly benign system.

3) The problem of money leading me to examine the problem of the business of medicine and how ethically, business and medicine are moral and ethical contradictions. I still believe this, but won't ever attack any good willed doctors doing good healing; especially the orthopedic or trauma surgeon. A sincere medicinal doctor should never give up but rather reform the system from within. Those insincere doctors will mostly likely become victims of their own insincerity.

4) Experiencing therapeutic or complete alleviation of disease through natural therapy through recommendation to others (which is not "Medical Advice") or myself. I abhor any synthetic pill and will avoid it at all cost.

5) Experiencing cognitive dissonance in what information is shared from a conventional standpoint versus what little organized information there is from an alternative medical standpoint.

6) Coming to an understanding that the result is the endpoint, not the way it works which only satisfies the questioning mind but not the ailing body. Academia gets hypnotized by the myriad details of how something works, in order to affect the same result. That has an important and essential place in human knowledge, but sometimes academia simply spends its life on the details regardless of the result. It's age old holistic versus reductionist debate.

7) An epiphany that all synthetic medicine is derived from that which is found in nature, and that the life and matter found in our environments as provided by them without alteration are most often far superior to what humans try to create. Our best pain killers are still distilled from the opium flower, a plant. Some would call it a weed, others a Promethean gift. At the same time, this same natural substance wields the potential for great harm. Wars are fought over it, lives are ruined with it, and pain is lifted by it.

8) A belief in an ideal that humanity must transcend its physical shackles, either self-imposed or imposed against one's will, in order to begin to understand higher truths and more evolved perceptions which will advance humanity. Enslaving humanity for money against their health is undoubtedly devolved and primitive, as well as a certain blackmail.

9) Based on this belief, I think that people can empower themselves as best as they can in the present to prevent what major chronic maladies they can with simple, cheap, natural gifts of the Earth. The liberty of the planet makes these available to all, but the evil in human hearts denies this or deceives others to believe it is not medicine. It has always been medicine, and is the basis of all pharmaceutical industry hijacked by corporate finance and geopolitical control structures. The utilization of this knowledge of a natural biological pharmacy will prevent many people from falling into "The Trap" which has fomented the death of millions upon millions of people on this planet, just as it was intended in WW2. We do not need to repeat the mistakes of our predecessors. We can change course to a benevolent and modern path.

10) Science and technology have their place on this planet, side by side with seemingly primitive medicine, which actually is far more advanced than anything man can create because it is the product of evolution. Evolution created us, but we cannot create evolution, and we currently can barely create anything new other than a microbe or some abomination based on what already exists. The responsible way to employ science and technology is to reveal wisdom, truth, and advancement, not using it to fuel humanity's innate primitive tendencies.

Grape Power Madness:

When something works, the crooks come out the woodshed. On the one hand, the entrenched phonies who jumped through their hoops will discredit natural therapies. On the other hand, they will steal it from you, and make you pay lots of money for it.

It is resveratrol, found in grapes and other normal... . . Food. Yes, all these crazy new super substances always existed in the boring foods that we take for granted. Don't take it for granted.

Here is the nitty gritty of the fisco-academic-political battle over grape power.

Curcumin, a curious molecule.

While the bioavailability is very low, the metabolites might have other effects too. It interacts with mitochondrial redox transduction, HO-1, and other pathways.

An Adult Human Problem: Hemorrhoids!

They strike with high frequency as people get older, and it will literally be a pain in the behind to try to play football or anything else. You will definitely know someone as you go along in life who gets them.

Here is something I found online for those who suffer it:

A new archeological find:

natural system activation deletes HIV virus

Eh what??? This has been known for several years??? Why don't sick patients get these natural therapies then?

Hemin activation ameliorates HIV-1 infection via heme oxygenase-1 induction.

Devadas K, Dhawan S.

Immunopathogenesis Section, Laboratory of Molecular Virology, Division of Emerging and Transfusion Transmitted Diseases, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, Rockville, MD 20852, USA.

Hemin, a critical component of hemoglobin, is an active ingredient of a biologic therapeutic approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of acute porphyries. This report describes a biological function of this molecule in inducing host defense against HIV-1 infection via heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) induction. Treatment of monocytes with hemin substantially inhibited HIV replication, as evident by nearly undetectable viral RNA and cell-free HIV-1 p24 protein in a dose-dependent manner. Hemin exposure of these cells before infection, at the time of infection, or after infection caused >90% reduction of HIV DNA with substantially low levels of HIV-1 p24 and HIV-associated cytopathic effects. In addition, hemin treatment significantly suppressed infection of both monocytes and T cells inoculated with R5, X4, R5X4 tropic strains, and reverse transcriptase-resistant, azidothymidine-resistant, ddC/ddI-resistant, nivirapine-resistant, and other clinical HIV isolates. Intraperitoneal administration of hemin 4 days after HIV infection reduced viral load in the serum of human PBMC-reconstituted nonobese diabetic SCID mice by >6-fold. Suppression of HIV replication in hemin-activated cells correlated with the induction of HO-1 and was attenuated by tin protoporphyrin (SnPP) IX, an inhibitor of HO-1 activity, suggesting a pivotal role of this endogenous enzyme in the regulation of HIV infection. Hemin-induced HO-1 induction in the CCR-5, CXCR-4, and CD4 coexpressing GHOST(3) cells was consistent with the inhibition of Tat-dependent activation of long terminal repeat promoter leading to reduced GFP expression. These findings suggest an important role of hemin-induced HO-1 activity as a host defense mechanism against HIV-1 infection.

The Beginning and The End:

Yes! Get as much vitamin C as you can take without digestive distress. Additionally, get a good healthy dose of B-vitamins, and electrolytes. At least a couple grams of Lysine a day will help in many different ways too.
