BIOELECTRICAL PHENOMENA IN HEALTH AND DISEASE
Many of you know that American Biologics
started from the fight for 'freedom of choice' in cancer
therapy in the United States. Initially, it was mainly a
cancer clinic like many others in Tijuana, Mexico, but when
we discovered we didn't have all the answers to cancer
treatment, we began to do some research. We discovered that
during the 1920's and 30's a great deal of research had been
done to determine the effect of electricity on health and
disease. We have known for many years that our bodies have
an electrical charge which can be measured using electric
probes.
There is a theory that the
body's immune cells do not attack cancer tumours because of
a protein barrier around the tumour which also blocks the
entrance of medications. In order to investigate this
theory, we began to use massive doses of proteolytic enzymes
to destroy the protein barrier. However, we found that the
protein barrier simply was not there. It has never been
seen, even today in 1990, when electromicroscopy and all
sorts of electronic scanning devices have been discovered.
There may be no anatomical or physical barrier, but some of
the old research has demonstrated that tumours have a
different electrical behaviour. In 1949, research was done
with accessible cancer tumours such as tumours of the cervix
and uterus. The
electrical behaviour
of the tumours was measured with electrical probes and it
was found that nonmalignant tumours were mainly on the
positive side and malignant tumours were negatively charged.
More recently it has been discovered that cancer processes
can either be speeded up or arrested by changing the
electrical charge of the tumour. In a recent study, tumours
were implanted into mice. When a positive probe was applied
to the tumour, the tumour stopped growing, but when a
negative probe was applied, there was an acceleration of the
growth of the tumour.
We have been using the
same rationale in treating cancer patients as Dr. Nordstrom
in Sweden. We designed a device which could measure the
electrical behaviour of a lesion and at the same time apply
either negative or positive current to that lesion. In order
to reverse the electrical charge of the tumour, we implant a
platinum probe inside the tumour and apply a charge at
another point of the body. When we treat a cancer patient,
at first a very high positive reaction is produced, but
unfortunately, this positive charge will not hold. Once the
power is turned off, the tumour will gradually try to return
to a negative condition or to its previous voltage.
Nevertheless, it never goes back to the original level but
always maintains a certain degree of positivity. Tumours can
also be burned with high currents and part of the tumour
will be destroyed, but that is very much the same as
treating it with radiation or surgery. It will get rid of
the lump, but treating only the lump is not the solution.
Cancer arises in the first place because of deficiencies
which prevent the body from identifying a misbehaving cell
and destroying it. It is a failure of the immune
surveillance system. If we change the polarity of the tumour,
it will allow the white blood cells to enter to fight the
cancer cells. What we are always afraid of is the distant
metastases of the tumour, the secondary tumours that the
cancer could produce in the liver, the lung, the brain and
the bones, just to mention the most frequently occurring
places.
It is very important to
take a wholistic approach to cancer so that the body will
know what to do and keep the cancer at bay the next time it
sees malignant cells running around your body. That's what
keeps the cancer from proliferating and going to distant
areas of the body. Therefore, A.C.N., accelerated charged
neutralization, as we call this form of therapy, is not the
whole answer. The tumour may reduce in size, swelling may go
down, and the pain may disappear because electrical currents
are known to reduce pain. There are a number of very good
side effects. Electricity can benefit many disease
conditions. Rheumatism may improve. If we apply electricity
to a fracture or to a swollen area, the swelling will go
down and the fracture will heal faster. Although the
bioelectrical treatment has beneficial effects, it is
important to use a wholistic approach which allows the body
to recuperate so that the immune surveillance system can
prevent the regrowth of the tumour. And there are a number
of different alternatives which can be used.
TREATMENT WITH SUPPLEMENTS
Supplements play a dual role in the treatment of cancer.
They provide a basic support to the physiology and
biochemistry of the body but they also act as a medication.
Orthomolecular medicine is simply the use of normal dietary
supplements in different dosages to produce a therapeutic
effect. We use
vitamin A, vitamin
C, and selenium, which
are the most important supplements that actually have an
anti-cancer effect. In experimental animal tests, you can
reverse the transformation of bronchial cells to malignancy
in laboratory animals which are exposed to tobacco by the
use of vitamins A and C alone. Selenium also has a very
important role in arresting the growth of malignant cells.
So these substances can be used in higher amounts than usual
to therapeutically reverse the cancer.
Vitamin B17 or
laetrile
plays a very important role in cancer. One of the areas of
misunderstanding about laetrile is that it does not cure
every form of cancer and does not necessarily work on every
individual. But it has a very important role and I know
people who have handled their cancer using laetrile alone
with very good success.
Proteolytic enzymes
are very important in the breaking down of the tumour as
well as breaking down the debris that comes out of the
tumour. In many therapies, a problem occurs because the
degradation of the tumour can reach the point where it
becomes toxic to the body. So detoxification is
another important part of treatment. Detoxification can be
accomplished faster by using certain substances like
chelation therapy which is used in the treatment of vascular
disease and rejuvenation programs.
Nutrition
of course is the absolute base-line of anything connected
with health care. You cannot keep plants if you don't water
them properly. Similarly, there is no way you can treat or
prevent any pharmacological, biochemical or physiological
condition if you don't practice proper nutrition. That is
very important. We take it for granted, but we make a lot of
mistakes. When we get sick we never think about what we did,
what we ate, drank or smoked which may have caused the
problem. With nutrition alone, we have probably one of the
most important keys to prevention, health and treatment. It
is possible to treat deadly disease conditions with dietary
modification alone.
Psychological well-being
is also very important in the process of rebuilding health
and this cannot be stressed enough. Depression</ B> produces
immune suppression. There is no question about that. You can
take a blood sample in a glass tube and send it to the
laboratory, and the laboratory can tell you without knowing
anything further about the patient, that the person is
psychologically depressed. Why? Because depression will slow
down the frequency and the depth of your respiration,
accelerate your heart rate and produce a number of
physiological situations that will in turn suppress your
immune system. Fifty per cent of the cancer cases we see are
not the typical cancer cases we expect from too much smoking
or exposure to asbestos for many years - the person who has
cancer often has a normal life and a good diet. There is a
psychological pattern to cancer patients and depression is
one of them.
REGENERATION
AND REJUVENATION WITHIN A TOTAL THERAPY SETTING
We often wonder if there is such a thing as
real rejuvenation or regeneration. The answer is yes, we can
rejuvenate every day. By rejuvenation, we mean that we
condition our body back to the point where it used to be
many years ago. In other words, we will really be younger.
We will feel and act and look as we did many years ago. We
can accomplish this by making small efforts every day or we
can do it in a short period of time in a total medical
setting. We will terminate your normal diet altogether and
you will fast for a number of days (48 to 72 hours). During
this time you will undergo a very intensive detoxification
process and will eliminate a lot of harmful by-products you
have accumulated through time. People will normally lose a
lot of weight in those first few days, but this is due to a
loss of excess fluids that are collected in the everyday
diet. Once you start releasing this overload of fluids, the
heart will become a more efficient pump. This in turn will
increase the filtration rate in the kidneys, which will help
to detoxify the body faster and faster as days go by. All of
sudden you will notice that you feel better and surprisingly
more energetic. Your blood flow is faster, more efficient,
and will oxygenate your brain and all your cells. During
this same period of time we are going to start intravenous
supplementation. Why intravenous? Because we want to bypass
any sort of obstacle you might have in the absorption or
assimilation of nutrients. Therefore we will put them
directly into your vein and know that your body is going to
start using them immediately. At the same time we are going
to be testing your immune competence and your ability to
perform. We check your colon flora, we check for the
presence of parasites, for Epstein-Barre Syndrome, herpes,
viruses, candida, etc. By the time we have a full battery of
blood, stool and urine tests, we can begin some more
therapeutic treatments and correct whatever conditions we
may have found.
Once this is done, we can
go on to the second part of the program: live-cell therapy.
In live-cell therapy, embryonic tissue normally obtained
from a calf is injected intramuscularly at one single time.
The most frequent tissues used for rejuvenation and immune
enhancement would be heart, lung and intestinal tissue.
After the injection of those cells, we reduce medication and
supplementation to a minimum. You are already back on a diet
which will be at that point strictly vegetarian and very
simple, very bland. After going home you will have a
supplementation program with a number of products such as
gerovital GH3 or tissue extracts and after three weeks you
gradually go on a more complete diet.
