Disease

This post uses many of the ideas written down in a document with the title "Illness", by Eugene Halliday. I referred to it when working with a diagnosis of non-Hodgkins lymphoma, now healed.

If anyone would like a copy, let me know.

Sometimes the warmth of multiplying cells can be a sign of health. The expectant mother feels the warmth of her child in utero; a sign of the furious growth of the unborn child. Inflammation is the heat produced when cells are quickly multiplying.

Inflammation of another order is the first indication of disease.

Cells have become exhausted, repeatedly being asked to divide in order to multiply ... to replace the ones killed by toxicity. The bi-product of their toil is the generation of heat: inflammation. Instead of the normal cell's mode of metabolism, they begin to regress into a very primitive, yeast-like mode of reproduction. They cut off the nerve supply which tells them what to do. Like the bottom of a smelly compost heap that's deprived of oxygen, they grow and split (mitosis) by a process of fermentation. They are similar in colour, and probably in smell, to the bottom of the oxygen deprived compost heap.

In the present age, many of us with long-term inflamed tissue already have cancer cells in our bodies. They are cells which are fed up with our bad government and have revolted. Without repeated trauma or toxicity they wouldn't even be there. We impose toxicity of various orders on our bodies, and the end result is a lack of cooperation from cells in that region, which decide to go and do their own thing. They were initially not the enemy that they now appear to be. They were once not foreign to us, but have now become so.

Anyone here who's done any home brewing will know that the yeast in the modern fermenting process needs lots of refined sugar (which is acidic) in order to multiply, and the same yeast will die if oxygen is allowed into the brewing container.

Refined sugar is like rocket fuel for cancer cells: they LOVE it. In P.E.T. scans you're injected with radioactive glucose, and after an hour's circulation, you're scanned. The cancer is inferred wherever the glucose is most concentrated. Doesn't it follow that sugar feeds cancer cells?

The sweet section of the McMillan nurses' cookbook has many recipes laden with refined sugar. Their recommendation is that it's fine to eat. There are machines in Clatterbridge cancer hospital selling Coca Cola and Mars Bars.

The simple correlation hasn't occurred to them yet. It's certain that one has to get the weight back on after gruelling carcinogenic chemotherapy, but refined sugar ... isn't that the number one thing to be avoided? A few days back on my FB page I posted a list of the other names that this killer non-food has been given. Many of them lead us astray. For example, don't be fooled into thinking that 'fructose' on the label is pure fruit sugar, because it isn't ... it's refined sugar.

Even in relatively fit people, refined sugar floods the blood. The blood can't handle it, and deposits it in the fat cells of the body. This can ultimately lead to diabetes, of which a large section of the UK now suffers.

But the body does need sugar in order to operate, and essential, slow-release sugars found in plant life don't flood the blood as quickly. They are highly beneficial. Not only does plant life give the necessary sugar, but it also feeds the body with vitamins, minerals and cancer-defeating oxygen. Again, see the analogy with alcohol brewing. Introduce oxygen into your beer fermentation and it kills the process.

There is much talk today of cancer stem cells, the cells that are not killed by chemotherapy. If the stem cells are the ring-leaders of the revolt, it may be that they will sadly have to be sacrificed. The cells which these renegades have spawned may well be coaxed, by appropriate nutrition, to rejoin the body's economy.

Every cell in our body is intelligent, it holds in potential the necessary information from which it can produce a new individual. But self-motivated cancer cells, without their sense of community, simply carry on multiplying. We've exhausted them. They've cut off our governing nerve supply and don't have the sensitivity to recognise that their course ultimately leads to self-destruction along with the host.

What's happening in Syria today can be an example of what happens when the people (in our case the cells of the body) are subjected to misrule. At the microscopic level the body can become just as much of a disaster area as Aleppo. We can fight and destroy them, but taking it to the extreme with chemo (like the Syrian government with its toxic bombs) does nothing for the health or the well-being, neither of a country nor an individual body. This is illustrated by the poor statistical success rates using the chemotherapeutic method.

"As above, so below", is a saying attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. Unless we view the body holistically, we're not getting the whole picture.

To love is to work for the full development of whatever potential is loved. If you love the body, and wish to develop its full, healthy potential, the loving approach tends to it, gives it the nourishment it so desperately needs in this toxic, nutrition deprived world.

If you believe in modern medicine, I wish you the best of health with your chosen method.

But I believe that the fight isn't against cancer, it's the noble one against the conditions, both internal and external, which have brought it about. Fighting the good fight has always meant the same thing ... becoming as little children, returning to health by overcoming the ill habit patterns embraced since childhood.

Some sources suggest it was 1 in 100 in 1900.
Nixon declared war on cancer in the seventies when it was 1 in 10.
Now, after 3 trillion dollars of investment in the pharma approach ($3,000,000,000,000)
... it's 1 in 3 for women, and 1 in 2 for men. It's a thriving business producing very little reward.
If we carry on like this, could it be every one of us?
Meanwhile, pharmacy keeps on taking the money.

Good health is not the only benefit upon winning the struggle ... there's freedom from domination by advertising, freedom from poorly educated pharma-reliant doctors, freedom from medication, a greater understanding of how the world is being governed by corporate profits, renewed vigour and internal energy, joy at what we've learned ... and, not least, a feeling that we're in the world but not of it.
