Curing measles with vitamin A since 1932
"Recent research seems to have crystallized in to the belief that vitamin A is concerned with raising the resistance of the animal body as a whole,and the epithelial cells in particular, to various bacterial invasions."

Fasting heals the immune system: stimulate stem cells
"A study shows that cycles of prolonged fasting not only protect against immune system damage, a major side effect of chemotherapy, but also induce immune system regeneration, shifting stem cells from a dormant state to a state of self-renewal."
So found researchers at the University of Southern California.

Curing autism with nutrition
We hear all the time that autism cannot be cured. Yet we also hear regularly from people who have cured their children of autism. There are a few doctors who do it regularly. They do it based in part on the theory that the autism is caused by vaccines. There are also doctors who call us the most dangerous kind of people for saying so.
We have never understood how somebody can say, with a straight face, to somebody who has just done something, that it is impossible.
Click here to watch a few stories on the subject of what causes autism, how this knowledge is used to cure it and some stories of families that have experienced that cure.
Allow us to be clear. These cures do not work one hundred percent of the time. Some cases are very severe and far more complex. But it is always worth it to try and the knowledge gained is helping thousands of families. The people who refuse to acknowledge this reality, who hold positions of respect and authority and use their positions to quash this knowledge and hide it from the families who could benefit from it may well be more dangerous than the people who seek it out and cultivate it.

American Soil Depleted of Nutrients, In 1936
"In 1936, the US Senate was presented with the results of a scientific study it had commissioned on the mineral content of our food. The results demonstrated that many human ills could be attributed to the fact that American soil no longer provided the plants with the mineral elements which are so essential to human nourishment and nutritional health."

Aloe vera useful in treating breast cancer
"These results signify that aloe vera may be an effective anti-neoplastic agent to inhibit cancer cell growth."
So found researchers at Manipal University, Dubai, as reported in a recent issue of the "Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention."
Considering vaccines are known to cause cancer, the study and use of natural remedies for cancer falls under the broad umbrella of vaccine science.

Bitter taste found to affect the heart
"A team of University of Queensland researchers is investigating the surprising discovery that smell and taste receptors normally found in the nose and mouth can also be present on the human heart.
When we activated one of the taste receptors with a specific chemical that we all taste as bitter, the contractile function of the heart was almost completely inhibited."
Chinese medicine has known for thousands of years that the bitter taste effects the heart and used this information in their healing prescriptions to wonderful effect.

" All Tas2r agonists tested exhibited concentration-dependent effects, with agonists for Tas2r108 and Tas2r137, leading to a ∼40% decrease in left ventricular developed pressure and an increase in aortic pressure, respectively."

Mineral Waters Show Promise for Removing Aluminum
"We have shown that drinking up to 1 L of a silicon-rich mineral water each day for 12 weeks facilitated the removal of aluminum via the urine in both patient and control groups without any concomitant affect upon the urinary excretion of the essential metals, iron and copper."

Baking Soda and Cancer
"In tail vein injections of alternative cancer models, bicarbonate had mixed results, inhibiting the formation of metastases from PC3M prostate cancer cells, but not those of B16 melanoma. Although the mechanism of this therapy is not known with certainty, low pH was shown to increase the release of active cathepsin B, an important matrix remodeling protease."

Trace Elements Found to Heal Symptoms of Heavy Metal Neurotoxicity
"Cadmium, iron, manganese and lead levels were significantly elevated in the patients compared to the controls, while copper, magnesium and zinc were decreased and cobalt demonstrated no change.
Trace elements and heavy metals may have a role in the genesis of considerable oxidative stress in patients with acute migraine headache."

Oregano Oil One of the Strongest Antibiotics
Anti biotics were discovered in the 1920s. They were first widely used in the 1940s. This was after deaths from infectious diseases had declined to roughly present day levels.
While anybody with experience dealing with extreme bacterial infections can tell you that they have been a useful tool, and they do get credit for saving many lives, statistically they have been of low influence.
Now we are nearing the end of the age of anti biotics. Due to overuse in farming for their ability to cause swelling and increase the poundage of meat stock, they are becoming less and less useful in the treatment of disease.
Estimates vary, but probably in the neighborhood of 80,000 people a year die in the u.s. from anti biotic resistant bacterial infections.
We will need alternatives. Citrus fruit essential oils and extracts have proven useful, as has vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals.

Nutrition may Cure Allergies and Autism
"We characterize a novel apraxia phenotype that responds to polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. The association of carnitine deficiency, gluten sensitivity/food allergy, and fat malabsorption with the apraxia phenotype suggests that a comprehensive metabolic workup is warranted. Appropriate screening may identify a subgroup of children with a previously unrecognized syndrome of allergy, apraxia, and malabsorption who are responsive to nutritional interventions in addition to traditional speech and occupational therapy. Controlled trials in apraxia and autism spectrum disorders are warranted."
This suggests that there are similar mechanisms, known to result from vaccination, at play in both these conditions.

"The proposed mechanism explains 4 major characteristics associated with autism: the low concentrations of serotonin in the brain and its elevated concentrations in tissues outside the blood-brain barrier; the low concentrations of the vitamin D hormone precursor 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D3]; the high male prevalence of autism; and the presence of maternal antibodies against fetal brain tissue.
Supplementation with vitamin D and tryptophan is a practical and affordable solution to help prevent autism and possibly ameliorate some symptoms of the disorder."

Nutraceuticals Protect and Heal the Brain
"Extensive research over the last 10 years has indicated that nutraceuticals derived from such spices as turmeric, red pepper, black pepper, licorice, clove, ginger, garlic, coriander, and cinnamon target inflammatory pathways, thereby may prevent neurodegenerative diseases. How these nutraceuticals modulate various pathways and how they exert neuroprotection are the focus of this review."

Selenium Protects Against Mercury Toxicity
"Dietary selenium (Se) status is inversely related to vulnerability to methylmercury (MeHg) toxicity. Mercury exposures that are uniformly neurotoxic and lethal among animals fed low dietary Se are far less serious among those with normal Se intakes and are without observable consequences in those fed Se-enriched diets. Although these effects have been known since 1967, they have only lately become well understood. Recent studies have shown that Se-enriched diets not only prevent MeHg toxicity, but can also rapidly reverse some of its most severe symptoms."
