There are two methods of dispensing chelation therapy. Firstly, doctors can administer intravenous solutions (through the veins, in a drip). The most common chelating agent is an amino acid called ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetate (EDTA). The molecules of EDTA bond to and chelate (remove) many toxins and heavy metal f the body, via the kidneys. Chelation helps to remove lead, strontium, aluminum, cadmium, mercury and other toxins. Twenty to 30 treatments are recommended per course. The second method is oral chelation therapy. A number of different chelation agents can be taken orally to remove toxins and heavy metals, which impair body functions and nutrient absorption. These agents include:

• alfalfa, fibre, rutin and selenium

• bentonite clay

• calcium and magnesium chelate with potassium

• charcoal tablets remove poisons

• chromium, garlic, pectin and potassium

• coenzyme Q10

• copper chelate, iron, sea kelp and zinc chelate.

• L-cysteine (removes mercury) and L-methionine

• L-lysine and glutathione (removes toxins and heavy metals)

• miso paste helps to remove nicotine and toxins from the body

• wheatgrass, barley grass, chlorella, chlorophyll, green magma etc.

Chelation therapy is useful in treating any illness or disease caused by toxins or heavy metals. Listed below are conditions chelation therapy is successfully used for:

• removal of calcified, hardened plaque from arterial walls

• circulation problems

• cancer and chemically induced tumours

• angina

• atherosclerosis

• arrhythmias

• intermittent claudication

• Alzheimer’s disease

• tinnitus

• vertigo

• and many more.

Music can:

• bring about a state of relaxation or excitability – depending on tempo;

• increase or decrease body metabolism – depending on tempo;

• increase or decrease muscular energy increasing muscular endurance;

• reduce or delay physical fatigue and stress;

• produce marked and variable effects on blood volume, pulse and blood pressure;

• lower high blood pressure;

• lower the threshold of sensory stimuli and either reduce or induce visualization;

• lessen irritability and anxiety;

• improve self-confidence;

• enhance creativity, concentration, meditation and learning;

• regulate respiration and digestive processes;

• alter mood and promote self-healing.

Music has the ability to affect us in a variety of ways both physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Our primary attraction to music is most likely through its power to create moods and to elicit emotional responses within us. Music affects us all very differently and provokes different emotions, feelings and thoughts.

Music has a strong effect on levels of consciousness and spirituality. To explore this, is beyond the scope of this book. However, following is a table of levels of consciousness and how music may affect each level.

Garlic has been prized for over 5000 years in all parts of the world. This bulbous herb is commonly known throughout the world as ‘nature’s antibiotic’, as it protects against infection by enhancing the body’s immune function. Garlic acts in a similar way to penicillin, destroying harmful bacteria. It is a strong immune stimulant and possesses anti-tumour and anti-carcinogertic functions. Garlic also detoxifies the body, lowers blood pressure and improves blood circulation. It has an amazing ability to lower high blood cholesterol levels.

Garlic is a power-packed herb containing allicin, allyl disulfides, calcium, copper, essential oils, germanium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, potassium, selenium, sulphur, unsaturated aldehydes, zinc, Vitamin À, Â1, B2 and Vitamin C. It is a natural antioxidant with an ability to increase natural killer cell activity and T-Cell activity (infection fighting cells of the immune system). Its ability to enhance the immune system is due to its high levels of selenium, gluatathione and germanium. Garlic is good for virtually any illness or infection.

The abundance of sulphur in garlic simply adds to its amazing healing capabilities. People around the world have been visiting hot springs containing sulfur for many years to cure all kinds of serious ailments. The bulb of the garlic plant is the major part used for medicinal purposes.

In over 30 nutritional studies, doctors found garlic and onions play a large role in decreasing the number of cancer deaths throughout the world. Garlic is believed to protect against radiation damage and breast cancer, stop the effects of skin cancer and slow the growth of tumour cells, while speeding the growth of healthy tissues. In countries where a lot of garlic is used in the diet, the cancer rate is very low. In China, people who regularly consume garlic and onions, have a low incidence of stomach cancer.

Garlic contains allyl sulphides, compounds that help the body to excrete cancer-causing substances before they can do any damage. It not only helps in the treatment of cancer, it is also beneficial in circulatory problems, arthritis, arteriosclerosis, colds, asthma, digestive problems, reduces the risk of heart attacks, insomnia, liver disease, sinusitis, skin infections, ulcers, blood sugar problems and yeast infections.

What is the best way to use garlic?

• Juiced or whole – for cancer treatment, try to eat at least 3 cloves per day. These can also be

juiced. One clove of garlic yields about l0mg of alliin and a total alliin potential of 4000mcg.

• Capsules – kyolic garlic oil capsules are available from your health food store.

Warning!

Toxicity of garlic is rare. However, some reports indicate excessive doses can trigger red blood cell destruction and anaemia. To avoid gastric upset, take garlic with meals. I like to juice garlic with a green vegetable juice or crush garlic and spread on whole-wheat toast with avocado. Heating garlic may destroy some of its healing compounds.

Diets rich in cruciferous vegetables are associated with protection against various cancers, including breast cancer. Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is an important phytochemical present in cruciferous vegetables. One of its most important actions is to change the way that oestrogen is metabolized. It up-regulates the tumour suppressor gene BRCA1 (breast cancer susceptibility gene) through an oestrogen receptor.

I3C increases BRCA1 and works to block oestrogen from sending any signals that enhance the growth of cancer. It is very similar to putting up a type of road block for oestrogen. Even though it is still present, it can do no harm. Additional benefits of I3C include decreasing the risk of forming hormone-induced cancers, halting cancer cell growth and acting as a powerful antioxidant.

Diindolymethane (DIM) is another type of indole found in cruciferous vegetables. It can help to restore and maintain a healthy balance of oestrogen in men and women. It is believed that diets rich in DIM (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts) may prevent chemically-induced cancers. DIM was first used in 1987 in animals and it is non-toxic, with potential for increasing cancer cell death in humans. In studies, DIM is showing favorable results against many types of hormone-induced cancers and breast cancer.

Overall, the indoles ingested through eating plenty of cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, watercress, cabbage, turnips and Brussels sprouts have a beneficial effect against the development of many types of cancers.

Enzyme Therapy

Enzymes are known as the ‘sparks of life’ as they take part in thousands of biochemical reactions in the body. There are over 20,000 different enzymes, which are essential for digesting food, stimulating brain function, supplying cellular energy and repairing tissues, organs and cells. Enzymes assist the kidneys, liver, lungs, colon and skin in the elimination of toxic wastes from the body.

L-asparaginase, an enzyme which is approved for use by the FDA, is used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Native Americans used the potent digestive enzyme in papaya, papain to treat external skin cancers and ulcerative lesions. The active enzymes in green papaya, mainly papain (100 times richer in enzymes than ripe papaya), are believed essential in the prevention and treatment of all types of cancer, especially stomach, colon and lymphatic cancer.

Salad made from green papaya is believed to prevent colon and stomach cancer. Green papaya leaves are used in the treatment of colon, stomach and lymphatic cancers.

The protein digestive enzyme, brinase, increases T cell counts in the body benefiting the body’s immune system and preventing the formation of cancerous growths.

For a good part of the twentieth century, European oncologists have included enzyme therapy as a natural therapy against cancer. Most alternative cancer specialists prescribe food enzymes and concentrated enzyme supplements as a primary or accessory treatment for cancer. Studies on human populations show that those who eat fresh fruits and vegetables that are loaded with life-giving, natural enzymes have dramatically reduced levels of cancer and other illnesses.

Vitamin P was first discovered by Dr Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, who found it within the white of the rind in citrus fruit. The letter ‘P’ for vitamin P stands for permeability factor. This was given to this group of nutrients because they improve the capillary lining’s permeability and integrity – that is, the passage of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nutrients through the capillary wall.

Bioflavonoids are responsible for the colours of many fruits and vegetables, and are found also in grains, nuts, leaves and flowers. Studies suggest their value in the treatment of a number of disorders. They are considered one of the most common biological constituents in plants. They have a gentle, beneficial action on numerous physiological processes in the body and benefit the heart, blood vessels, liver, immune system, connective tissue, adrenal glands, kidneys, musculature and nervous system.

Flavonoids improve the strength of capillaries, help to stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent the onset of infections.

Quercetin is a flavonoid occurring naturally in various fruits, nuts, seeds, flowers, barks and leaves. It is best known as an anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory nutrient, and it is able to stabilize mast cell membranes and prevent the release of histamine and other inflammatory agents.

Quercetin is an antioxidant and can inhibit the inflammatory processes so often involved in cancer and tumour development. It also inhibits leukotrienes (inflammatory agents 1000 times more powerful than histamine), hyaluronidase (collagen destroying enzymes) and lysosomal enzymes (promoters of localized inflammation).

Quercetin and other flavonoids derived from fruits and vegetables have long been considered important substances to help prevent cancer. New laboratory studies are suggesting that this belief may be accurate. Quercetin and other flavonoids have been shown in test tube studies to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, including those from breast, colon and lung cancers.

Some studies suggest that quercetin improves pain and other symptoms in men with chronic prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate). In addition, studies indicate that quercetin may inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells in test tubes. Further studies are needed to confirm quercetin’s benefit in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Quercetin also protects insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas from free radical damage and enhances insulin secretion. It functions like other bioflavonoids in enhancing the body’s collagen network (structural integrity) of blood vessels.

Quercetin is an anti-tumour agent that is believed to reduce DNA damage caused by different cancer-causing substances such as aflatoxins. If you are planning to undergo chemotherapy, quercetin would be a useful addition to your program to ensure that you maintain the health of your capillaries and veins, as one of the major side-effects of chemotherapy is damage to the body’s veins.

The recommended dosage of quercetin is 200mg three times per day. It is best taken with either bromelain or vitamin Ñ to increase its absorption.

A synthetic derivative of bioflavonoids, flavone aceteic acid (FAA) has been used to enhance the function of the body’s immune system. FAA possesses natural killer cell activity and used with interleukin-2 has a positive effect on kidney cancers. (There are known side effects associated with the use of FAA.)

Good sources of bioflavonoids and quercetin are the white pulp of citrus fruits, blackcurrants, blackberries, cherries, grapes, buckwheat, apricots and plums.

Herbal sources are Echinacea, hawthorn, milk thistle and bilberry.
