Conspiracy-theorist or just the plain ol' truth?

At first glance, one may place me in the category of a conspiracy theorist with some of my beliefs.  Depending on who you ask what a conspiracy theorist is, I would maybe agree.  According to Urban Dictionary, a conspiracy theorist is:  A contemptuous term used primarily by the mainstream media to slander anyone who questions their monopoly on truth.  

I am definitely not a fan of the news for a variety of reasons.  Reason #1:  I cannot watch any movies or TV shows that portray animals being hurt much less humans.  I literally close my eyes and plug my ears and ask my husband to tell me when its over. Most of the news is about who killed who and how.  Reason #2:  Some of the stories are misrepresented and some stories are not represented at all.  Reason #3:  There is usually a one minute slot for good news.  Isn't there more good news in the world than just 1 minute?  Reason #4:  Stories I care about are not covered.  

So according to Urban Dictionary, I may be a conspiracy theorist because I don't really look to the news as a source of truth.  In fact, some things in the news I would question as half-truths, manipulation of the truth, and omission of the truth.  

Anyways, moving on.  Second definition of a conspiracy theorist:  A conspiracy theory is an explanatory or speculative hypothesis suggesting that two or more persons, or an organization, have conspired to cause or cover up, through secret planning and deliberate action, an event or situation typically regarded as illegal or harmful.  Thank you Wikipedia for clearing that up for us.  

Okay, that happens a lot.  So maybe I am a conspiracy theorist.  I more look it as loving truth.  I love truth.  I have always hated lies, struggle to forgive people who lie, struggle to understand people who lie, and always expect the truth.  I guess I grew up believing:  "honesty is the best policy."  My conscience has always been exceptionally sensitive and I can't handle myself when I don't tell the truth.  So I just don't lie, like ever.  

It seems, however, that many people have many things to lie about and cover up because of their hidden motives and agendas.  Or simply because they are weak, frail humans who are prone to jealousy, greed, and straight up narcissism.  So onto the story that includes an honest man who happens to be brilliant and happens to discover a cure for cancer.  Unfortunately, this story also includes a jealous, insecure, greedy, narcissist that ruins everything.  

Enter scene, Dr. Royal Rife.  Even his name is so distinguished, so brilliant, just as he was.  Dr. Royal Rife was a cancer innovator who was a scientist, a bacteriologist and held his PHD in parasitology.   

Dr. Royal Rife studied and researched cancer throughout the 1920’s and 1930’s.  He created the Universal Microscope in 1920 which was the first microscope that could examine live matter instead of dead matter.  Even today, standard electron microscopes used by many researchers end up killing cellular matter because of the high energy electrons.  The Universal Microscope was a dark field microscope that was capable of looking at the activity of live cellular matter.    

Dr. Royal Rife was particularly interested in looking at bacteria and micro-organisms in order to find any associations to the development of cancer in a person.  He had to overcome many obstacles in even attempting to study the micro-organisms in cells as he had to invent his own microscope and he developed a system of staining micro-organisms with light frequency instead of with dye.  The bacteria that Dr. Rife was attempting to find was actually smaller than the molecular structure of dye and thus dye would not be able to expose the bacteria.  

Dr. Royal Rife was very innovative and recognized with 14 governmental awards for his discoveries during his scientific research.  In fact, it would be hard to find someone more qualified and distinguished in pursing breakthroughs in cancer research. 

Once Dr. Royal Rife had his system in place for studying micro-organisms at the cellular level, using his Universal Microscope and staining with light frequency, he started to make much progress in his research.  Dr. Rife was able to prove that micro-organisms are pleomorphic, or able to change form and shape based upon the internal environment.  His discovery directly opposed the theory of Pasteur which steered the course for much of modern medicine that we know today including the use of vaccines to protect again germs and bugs from the outside without consideration of how they interact with the inner terrain of a person. 

At the time of Pasteur, Bechamp was a French chemist and biologist who directly opposed the theories of Pasteur declaring that bacteria is pleomorphic and able to change size, shape, and function through life cycle based upon the health of the host organism.  Not having access to the Universal Microscope, or Dr. Royal Rife’s staining strategy, Bechamp was unable to prove his theories about bacteria. 

Dr. Royal Rife was finally able to settle the debate between Bechamp and Pasteur as he watched micro-organisms morph before his very eyes.  In fact, Dr. Rife was able to watch as bacteria would morph multiple times until it turned into virus-sized organisms with many similar virus-like characteristics in certain environments. 

Throughout his research, Dr. Royal Rife became convinced that cancer was connected to a bacteria that morphed based upon an internal environment into a virus-like particle.  After looking at over 20,000 cancer cells within an alkaline material, he began to put cancer cells into an acidic pH and found the bacteria morphing into the virus-like particle connected to cancer, the BX and BY viral strain. 

A virus does not breathe nor does it reproduce.  Rather, a virus finds a keyhole in cells, locks in, and waits for cell to absorb it.  Once inside the cell, the virus releases genetic materials and cells start to replicate with new instructions from genes influenced by the virus.  For example, in cases of HIV, the HIV virus steals part of the protein of the cell, cloaks itself, and is able to hide from the immune system all the while replicating more cells with the genetic alterations coming from the virus.  HIV specifically steals protein from White Blood Cells, which are part of the immune system, making HIV even more challenging for the immune system to destroy.    

Thus, Dr. Rife’s theory was being developed in the 1920’s and 1930’s that a cancer cell is a healthy cell that has had its identity changed from bacteria that has morphed into something like a virus because of an unstable or unhealthy inner terrain. Our bodies contain a lot of bacteria.  Most people are familiar with the bacteria in our gut which is referred to as gut flora.  However, at the cellular level, each cell contains the smallest form of bacteria called protitis.  Protitis cannot be seen by an average microscope because they are too small. 

However, Dr. Royal Rife was clearly watching through his Universal Microscope as protitis would morph from the bacterial form into the particle form.  The particle form (a specific phase in the life cycle of protitis) would be capable to creating a tumor in the body.  Protitis are only able to become cancer-causing when the inner environment because severely disturbed, imbalanced, and unhealthy because of the body’s inability to deal with levels of toxicity which the person has been exposed. 

After discovering the morphing process of protitis into the cancer-causing particle form of bacteria, Dr. Royal Rife continued and found clinical applications to his discoveries.  His theory was that he could electrically stimulate the bacteria within the cell and have an impact.  He began to experiment with audio frequencies to see what impact they may have on the bacteria within the cells.  Dr. Rife directed the frequencies at the virus-like particle within the cancer cell hoping to kill the bacteria associated with the development of the tumor.  

Eventually, Dr. Rife was successful and found the MOR or Mortal Oscillatory Rate in which was necessary to impact the cancer viruses, BX and BY as he named them.  By 1932, Rife could destroy typhus bacteria, the polio virus, the herpes virus, and BX and BY by using unique MOR's (frequencies).  In modern times, The Rife Machine looks like a flashing blue light blub hooked up to a computer that is running software.  Oh and it makes a slight beeping noise.  Dr. Royal Rife's life work doesn't look like much, but what it does is beyond comprehension and amazing.   

In 1934, with the help of the AMA (American Medical Association), Dr. Rife was permitted to conduct the first human trial of his frequency device which he name The Rife Machine.  In the trial, 16 terminally-ill patients (patients whose standard medical treatment for their tumors had failed), were treated using the unique frequency which Dr. Rife assigned to their tumor profile.  After 4 months, all 16 fully recovered and were declared clear of cancer by their medical doctors.  

After his victory, Dr. Rife was given a banquet called "To End All Diseases" where many members of the AMA, medical doctors, and scientists honored him and his success in the first human trial of The Rife Machine.  However, quickly after his acceptance by the mainstream, the head of the AMA, Morris Fishbein, offered to buy out Rife.  The offer was quite low and Dr. Rife was not certain that The Rife Machine would be used to its full potential outside of his control.  Thus, Dr. Rife declined the offer.

Enter conspiracy theorists to the table.  

After Dr. Rife's decision, a "mysterious" lawsuit was filed against the manufacturing company that was developing The Rife Machine.  The manufacturing company quickly went bankrupt and could no longer develop The Rife Machine.  Further, three people closely associated with and supportive of Dr. Rife's work suddenly died of apparent suicide.  One person who died, Dr. Milbank Johnson was a part of the original human trial and died the night before giving a speech about The Rife Machine and why Dr. Rife's work was desperately needed for cancer patients.  Isolated, rejected, and pushed to the side, Dr. Rife struggled to find clinical application and opportunities for his Rife Machine to be used in modern medicine.  After struggling and trying for years on end, Dr. Rife died in 1971 without mainstream acceptance of his discoveries.  

As so often the truth comes to light, especially when the conspiracy theorists are involved, the motives of Fishbein were discovered.  After many years, Fishbein admitted in writing that he had been motivated to kill the discoveries of Dr. Royal Rife because they threatened the use of chemotherapy.

I would much rather be a conspiracy theorist than a narcissistic, greedy, jerk that destroyed a potentially life-saving discovery of an honest, brilliant man.  Yet again, the desire for power, money, and monopolization of the industry, a potentially life-saving discovery for millions of people had been destroyed.  

Unfortunately, this story line continues even today.  In fact, in the last year, 12 alternative cancer doctors or those associated with cancer patients have died.  Many of them were pronounced as committing suicide without further investigation and without prior issues with depression and suicidal thoughts.  In fact, many were in the prime of their career and very successful with no apparent reason to commit suicide.  We will continue this story in a future blog as I think it is important for us to be aware of what is happening.  Not afraid, just aware.  

Fortunately, the work has not been completely lost as there are some doctors who are using the original device of Dr. Royal Rife.  One such doctor, Dr. Conners, using the Rife machine with much success in Lake Elmo, Minnesota.  Dr. Conners has been working with cancer patients for the last 17 years and as to date, 82% of his patients are still alive today!  This is great news!  Here is information about Dr. Conners:  http://connersclinic.com  

Emotional Roots to Cancer

These days, there are many organizations who raise money for researching and finding THE cure for cancer.  Why, if the standards of treatment have been established since the 1940’s of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, are people in search for the cure?  Possibly, we have a sense that we have not fully discovered the most successful outcomes using the current methods of treatment.

While the cause of finding the cure to cancer is noble and needed, the concept is also riddled with misunderstandings and a lack of knowledge of those who have gone before us and who have had tremendous success with treating and seemingly curing cancer in thousands of patients.  Without exception, these treatments do not include chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery as their main approach.  However, they all seem to show greater promise than the statistics and empirical data of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.  Why are they not well known, if in fact they exist?

The stories of the doctors and scientists who have gone before us, will show us a glimpse of why the general public are left uninformed and unaware of great strides that have been made in cancer research as well as successful clinical application of cancer research in case studies and clinical trials.  First, I want to start with an important question for you to ponder:  If someone found an approach to cancer which demonstrated a 90% success rate in causing remission of cancer, what would happen?  How would the world respond? 

I would expect that this person would be automatically given the Noble Peace Prize and that they would be instantly famous.  This person would have thousands of patients wanting to see them, thousands of practitioners wanting to study underneath them, and millions of fans watching their work in awe.

In every case that I have studied, the response was diametrically opposite to what would be expected.  In fact, instead of being celebrated, Dr. Hamer, was put in jail for 18 months for his success of treating cancer patients in an unconventional manner.  Dr. Hamer is a German oncologist, who was practicing oncology in a conventional manner using surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, for about 15 years until his son, Dirk, was murdered.  In wake of this tragedy, both Dr. Hamer and his wife developed cancer. 

Dr. Hamer had been physically healthy up until his son’s tragic death and his subsequent diagnosis of testicular cancer.  He suspected that his other patients had similar experiences.  Dr. Hamer began to interview all of his patients to find a possible emotional link to their body’s progression to a cancer diagnosis.  In every case, Dr. Hamer found that there was a traumatic incident in which he coined The Conflict Shock Syndrome or The Dirk Hamer Syndrome (after his son). 

He abandoned the traditional model of oncology which he was trained under to develop a new approach to cancer treatment, German New Medicine.  His treatment looked beyond the physical, biochemical understandings of the development of cancer in the body, to the initiation of a conflict/shock that started in the brain.

Confirming the link of this conflict/shock, Dr. Hamer reviewed over 20,000 CT scans of cancer patients which demonstrated a lesion in the brain directly linked to the organ or area of the body affected by the cancer diagnosis.  The lesion or shadow in the brain looks like the affect of skipping a rock in water.  Spontaneous remission, as understood by Dr. Hamer, would occur as the person resolves the conflict, shock, or trauma which led to the cancer diagnosis.  When the conflict is resolved, the CT scan image changes as scar tissue along with edema develop in the same area of the brain and the cancer cells begin to be inactive or the tumor is broken up by the body.

In Japanese research, spontaneous remission occurs within less than 24 hours after the person has experienced a profound transformation in their attitude towards themselves.  This research confirms the work of Dr. Hamer and the importance of inner transformation, addressing emotional and spiritual roots to disease while expecting the body to be able to resolve the root causes of the development of the tumor.  

In all of the doctors and scientists that I have researched concerning successful approaches to cancer, no one has had the track record that Dr. Hamer demonstrates.  In treating 6,500 patients using his approach, Dr. Hamer saw 6,000 patients or 90% of his patients go into remission.  In "thanks" for his success, Dr. Hamer's medical license was revoked and he was subsequently sentenced to 18 months in prison for providing information to his patients about German New Medicine.  Unfortunately, a brilliant physician and healer was rejected by mainstream and thus many people continue to suffer under  cancer diagnosis without access to his brilliant findings and pivotal clinical applications for cancer patients.

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results

To understand the future of something or someone, it is good to understand their past or their history.  How many of us are aware of the history of chemotherapy?

I was not aware until I became passionately invested in seeing clients with a cancer diagnosis change their lifestyles and support their bodies nutritionally, emotionally, and spiritually during their healing journey.

After WWII, some doctors were analyzing tissue samples of men who died after being exposed to mustard gas, a toxic chemical compound used in chemical warfare.  After analyzing these tissue samples, they wondered if it would have any impact on tumors in humans. 

Thus, the trial and error, guessing game of what toxic chemotherapy agents would kill cancer cells the fastest (before destroying the immune system, digestive system, and eventually the entire body), began.  It was birthed out of a war, out of toxic chemical warfare. 

In the 1940’s, cancer researchers did not have a good understanding of what cancer was and how it developed in the body, much less a systematic approach of studying cancer.  However, in desperation, attention was given to chemotherapy and these toxic chemical warfare agents.

The idea of using mustard gas and other chemotherapy agents was highly controversial when it was first introduced and many doctors were opposed to the concept.  The minority of doctors and cancer researchers first pursued this avenue. 

The reality is that children were the first to sign up for trials with chemotherapy.   Their parents signed a waiver, releasing their rights and agreeing to chemotherapy.  The first human trial was conducted.  After the cancer seemingly disappeared, one by one, the children came back with the cancer cells spreading to the brain.  In the end, every child involved in the first human trial died.    

After this experience, many doctors walked away entirely from the idea of using chemotherapy in treating cancer.  However, others persisted.  A new idea of rotating chemotherapy agents was introduced.  The idea was that the body would not be as devastated by one toxic chemotherapy agent as it would be to a rotation of toxic chemotherapy agents. 

This seemed to allow patients to live longer throughout the treatment and survive long enough to receive their treatments.  However, many did not make it through the human trials. 

In the 1980’s, chemotherapy was analyzed statistically by Bailer.  With an objective lens and no financial ties to the chemotherapy industry, Bailer found that since chemotherapy was introduced in the 1950’s, 4% were saved by chemotherapy.  Further, the death toll from cancer had increased by 9% since the 1950’s.  Something clearly was wrong with the approach.

Some quick facts about chemotherapy:

·      First chemotherapy agent was mustard gas, a toxic chemical warfare agent banned from being used in WWII because of it’s toxic affect on the human body

·      Started being developed in the 1940’s prior to understanding mechanisms behind cancer and tumor growth

·      Statistics are frequently manipulated and are presented in the following manner:

o   Cure is defined as a 5-year survival rate, if someone is alive 5 years and 2 weeks after they are first diagnosed, they are included in the survival rate statistics

o   Certain ethnic groups are frequently not included in survival rates with white only percentages presented

o   If patients die before full prescribed treatment rounds of chemotherapy are finished, they may be deleted from the study and eliminated from statistics

o   Statistics are adjusted for “expected mortality outcomes,” for example, if someone dies after being diagnosed and during treatment, they could have also died from a car accident

o   Many times, the percentage of tumor shrinkage is presented instead of survival rates even though tumors shrinking are not necessary linked to survival rates

·      1986:  McGill Cancer Center:  Scientists surveyed 118 oncologists who specialize in lung cancer.  Asked if they would take chemo if they developed lung cancer and ¾ of the oncologists replied no, they would not take chemo.  Reclaiming our health by John Robbins 1996

·      5-year survival data from US National Cancer Institute's Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registry from 1990 until January 2004:  2.1% survival rate in the US and 2.3% survival rate in Australia with using chemotherapy

Some people invested in using chemotherapy lashed out at Bailer and rejected his findings although they were found to be completely sound and ethical.  Others, seeing the dismal results of chemotherapy, moved on to study targeted gene therapy and cancer; the next big thing in cancer research. 

Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery remained the primary approach of oncologists in the Western Medical world.  Cancer research shifted focus to finding oncogenes involved in cancer and developing drugs that would target these genes.

However, after much research, millions of dollars, and many years, targeted gene therapy showed a similar disappointment.  The genes involved in cancer showed no cohesive pattern to follow.  Instead, the genetic components involved in different cases appeared as distinct and unique as a fingerprint. 

Unfortunately, few doctors have taken the approach of starting with what is cancer and why has it developed in the body before recommending treatment protocols.  However, this is why I love holistic treatment options for cancer.  The whole person is taken into consideration.  Our understanding of the characteristics of cancer, why it develops in the body, and what are potential root causes to tumor development are taken into consideration. 

In the coming weeks, we will look at some great approaches to cancer to gain an understanding of options that may be better for some who want to connect with the root cause of their diagnosis and approach treatment in a less toxic manner. 

Epigenetics

Epigenetics is a new science that started in 2001 during the end phase of The Human Genome Project.  Epi means upon or above and demonstrates the meaning that the control of health is not in the genes as it was hypothesized in the 1950's.  1951 was the first time that the amino acid sequence for insulin was discovered and the concept of genetic engineering or manipulation first began.

Scientists continue to chase this concept through research projects trying to interfere with genetic expression.  However, they are missing the most important component to gene expression:  signaling from the environment.

The signal is vitally important to the expression of genetic potential and dictates whether a gene is expressed or silenced.  Signals are growth hormones, hormones, RNA, etc. that are sent to a receptor on the cell membrane in order to activate the appropriate proteins or DNA to complete the biochemical reaction that is necessary or that is being asked because of the signal.

Nutrients, beliefs, thoughts, and emotions are all components that impact or influence the signal that is sent to the cell membrane.  Our thoughts, thus, do not simply exist in our mind, but are involved in a cascade of genetic and chemical reactions that either build health or bring destruction to our bodies.

It is vitally important that we have the proper understanding of genetics and epigenetics because it will impact our health.  If I believe that genes control the outcome of my health, I will take a drastically different approach to my lifestyle and health than if I believe that every thought, emotion, belief, nutrient, and toxin impacts the expression of my genetic potential.  If genes do dictate my health outcomes, having radical surgery performed to prevent the expression of a breast cancer gene would make sense.  However, if my lifestyle, beliefs, and environment dictate whether this gene is expressed or not, then I can take a more proactive approach to controlling my internal and external environment and may never experience the expression of a breast cancer gene.

Mystery of Belief

         Epigenetics is the study and science of how genes are turned on and off in the body based upon the environment, nutrition, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs of the person.  After the Human Genome Project showed that genes were not as involved in the health outcomes of people as we first thought, epigenetics is a fascinating science that brings hope that our genes do not determine our health outcomes; rather, we are the architects and designers of our own health.  

         In my Nutritional Therapy practice, I notice that my clients who are more optimistic, hopeful, and happy are able to heal.  My clients who project negativity, hopelessness, and unhappiness tend to struggle more, but are able to pull through if they are willing to change their approach to life and their perspective.  In fact, a study at Harvard from 1946-1981, demonstrated that people with a negative outlook developed disease at a significantly higher rate than those with an optimistic attitude.

        “The simple truth is, happy people generally don't get sick.  One’s attitude toward oneself is the single most important factor in healing or staying well.  Those who are at peace with themselves and their immediate surroundings have far fewer serious illnesses than those who are not (Bernie Siegel, M.D.).”

         Our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are continually feeding scripts to our body which help to either build health or destroy health at the cellular level.  What are your thoughts on a daily basis?  What are your emotions on a daily basis?  And how is this affecting your health?

         I remember a close friend of mine sharing with me that she believed the stress in her life would cause her to develop cancer.  She did develop cancer many months after this belief solidified in her subconscious.  Was it the belief that instructed her body to develop cancer?  Or was it the financial and relational stress in her life as she had declared?  Or a combination of the two?  

    

         Health and lack of health prove to be much more complicated than eating 1 apple a day and exercising a few times a week.  We have a myriad of thoughts, emotions, beliefs that affect us in ways that we may or may not be aware of.  

       

        The interesting thing that Dr. Siegel discovered through his research is that loving oneself and others actually increases killer T-cells, which are involved in a healthy immune system.  Even our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs during and after a diagnosis is so important to the prognosis of our recovery.  

         In light of any diagnosis, there is an emotional trauma and a grieving process that we go through either consciously or subconsciously.  My clients who have a diagnosis or have a child with a diagnosis benefit greatly from processing how they feel, think, and believe regarding this diagnosis.  Therapeutic counseling, prayer, and visual imagery tend to help tremendously in resolving the trauma of a diagnosis and freeing the person to approach the healing process from an emotionally stable place instead of a place of trauma.    

         My background in counseling and pastoral ministry I rely heavily on when working with clients who have been diagnosed with cancer or who have children diagnosed with autism.  It is very challenging to implement a healing plan when emotions are stuck in a place of being paralyzed from trauma.  Children are so sensitive that they intuitively perceive their parents emotions and can even take on the emotions of their parents regarding a diagnosis.  This hinders the healing process and the ability to stay proactive and motivated to bring healing tools into the life of the child.  

         In fact, in some cases of diagnosis, Deepak Chopra, MD, frequently observed rapid regression in health after a diagnosis “almost as if the person was dying from the diagnosis.”  Your belief about cancer, heart disease, or autism will affect how your body is able to heal or stay stuck in a cycle of crisis and trauma.  It is completely normal to start in a place of trauma, but to move to a place of resolving the emotional trauma and grief so that healing can be more possible.  

         I remember after being diagnosed with PCOS, I went through a process of grieving.  After I grieved, I processed through the diagnosis, I was ready to heal.  I had all the symptoms of PCOS.  Now, I have none of the symptoms of PCOS.  My physical healing started when I healed emotionally, spiritually, and when I was able to believe that healing was even possible.  The answers and solutions came quickly after my belief was solidified.  

         How about you?  Do you have a diagnosis?  Does your loved one have a diagnosis?  Where are you at in the grieving process?  Are you stuck in trauma?  Find someone who you can talk to and who can help you through the trauma and grieving process.  This will help tremendously and increase your body's ability to heal and recover fully.  Believing with you for the best possible outcome,
