In terms of non-communicable diseases David Parker and Dawn Lester list four factors: poor nutrition, toxic exposures, excessive or prolonged stress, and over exposure to EMFs. All releasing an overload and build-up of free radicals. They recommend nutrition focused around foods containing antioxidants (mostly coloured fruit and vegetables), which “mop up free radicals.” Themselves eating a plant based vegan diet. Melatonin released during sleep in the hours of darkness also releases antioxidants to expel free radicals. A build-up of free radicals destroys tissues at the “cellular level,” which can lead to cancer, essentially being long-term tissue damage.
However, due to the unnatural and unsanitary conditions much of the supermarket fruit and vegetables are now grown in they’re not necessarily collecting all the nutrients required from the soil. Cooking also reduces food’s nutritional value. Organically grown fruit and vegetables is “less likely to have been contaminated with pesticides or grown in soil that is depleted in nutrients, particularly magnesium. Although people don’t need a lot of magnesium in their diet they do need some. This seems to be one of the first things that suffer in soils that are not looked after properly. They’ve relied on heavy use of fertilisers to grow the produce (this is the farmers) and these fertilisers kill the soil really.”
Foods sold as organic are meant to avoid many of the toxic contaminates but the safest source of food is to grow it for one’s self, next to sourcing it from local organic farms which can be personally inspected and relationships formed or broken by their own standards.
Overuse of glyphosate for example destroys the microbes in the soil. Dr Kaufman emphasises the need for trace minerals (microminerals) and notes that macrominerals are definitely deficient in people with poor diets. The soil may be proficient in some minerals but not containing the full compliment of nutrients required for healthy living. The answer in this case is to “re-mineralise the soil.”
Supplements need to be treated with caution. Because many can’t easily be absorbed by the body they aren’t recommended when the nutrients can be gotten from natural foods. Dr Kaufman says: “In addition to many of the preparations not being the right formulation, they also add binders, excipients, and capsule materials, and those things are just for the ease of manufacture, they don’t add anything to the nutritional value. And actually if you take enough of them they can cause problems in of themselves. So, I’ll give you an example: if you’re going to get a mineral supplement, if you have a mineral that is with a conjugated to a chelated amino acid like glycinate, for example magnesium glycinate, which is based on the amino acid glycine, that is going to be a more bio-available form.” He recommends getting minerals from natural sources. Endorsing molasses as a magnesium supplement (“black-strapped molasses if it’s unsulfured”). “One tablespoon in a glass of water daily and you’re getting a nice balance of macro-minerals to supplement without the need to take any pills or tablets.”
Dr Kaufman also thinks many people are deficient in cholesterol and collagen, both essential to the body, particularly the brain, it only being “oxidised cholesterol” that is a problem. Every membrane of every “cell” in the body is made of cholesterol, amounting to around 90% of the brain’s dried weight, and it synthesises many “cell hormones.” “Cholesterol oxidisation” in any part of the body damages the organs and tissues and is a primal cause of all illness. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is considered to be good cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) bad cholesterol.
Dr Kaufman also regards vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals to be required to maintain good health.
Lowering salt and sugar is common health advice, but of course, all sugar (or salt) is not the same, it can be derived from a healthy source like fruit. Fructose by itself isn’t so healthy but in fruit it’s combined in a matrix of fibre, minerals, and phytochemicals, so its broken down slowly by the body and released slowly into the blood, unlike refined sugars, produced even in blended fruit juices. Too much refined sugars can cause “oxidative stress” and harm “endocrine regulation of sugar metabolism.” “Because the pancreas secretes insulin when sugar enters the blood in order that sugar is taken up by cells so that it can be utilised to make energy. But when it’s so sudden and steep a rise it overshoots and a little too much insulin comes out and then your sugar goes a little bit too low. And that’s when you get a little bit irritated and hungry…and you might not behave very well when you’re in that state. Then you’re hungry again and what do you do: you go and eat more sugar and the vicious cycle continues. It has behavioural effects and metabolic and physiologic effects for causing disease.” Nature packages food in a healthy holistic way easily assimilated by the body.
Dr Kaufman explains salt’s various forms: “Salt is the most important and the most abundant electrolyte element in our body. We can’t live without it. If our sodium is too low we’re dead. Our kidneys and our sweat glands are the organs that regulate that we have the right amount of salt in our body to meet whatever our needs are at the time.” “Even if you’re in the hospital and you have an emergency what is the first thing they do is they put you on an IV and then they put salt water into your body.” Dr Kaufman says people should only eat pure salt without other ingredients added to it, such as sea salt or mineral salt (like Himalayan). What’s marketed as “table salt” is highly processed and has other toxic ingredients added to it.
It’s largely chemicals that upset the body. Tap water alone contains all sort of toxic additives, ranging from fluoride to chlorine and ammonia. The filtration systems at the mains water supply is also not as good as it should be, meaning there’s also “effluent from pharmaceutical companies and industrial places.” David Parker points out that these chemicals also come from the “air we breath, through industrial pollutants in the air, even geoengineering,” as well as “agriculture,” which uses “pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers.” Crop spraying can drift a long way, resulting in a farm being contaminated from miles around the surrounding area. Contributing to unhealthy soils. Some other chemicals derive from “cosmetics and personal care products,” like “parabens, farlev and halites,” the latter two being known endocrine disruptors. Clothes too contain body pollutants such as “dyes and plasticisers” and can be made up of “synthetic fibres” including “GM cotton.” Natural organic fibres are the most healthy…hemp being one of the most breathable clothing materials for pores (as well as a superfood). Synthetic fibres containing plastics leech various chemicals that act as endocrine disruptors, which particularly affect sex hormones. Many of the aforementioned pollutants are carcinogenic and have other harmful health effects.
Supermarkets make all their profits from unhealthy processed foods loaded with toxic ingredients. Dr Theo Colborn’s book, Our Stolen Future, highlights the amount of endocrine disrupting hydrocarbons and chemicals increasingly contained in food. Again noting the ill affects on the reproduction system. Dawn states: “It was only very, very recently that they started testing any chemicals for any kind of effects on the endocrine system, but the endocrine system is what affects the original development growth. That’s where all new life starts…and so, if that’s affected that can really cause terrible disruption. And for unborn children obviously that’s where you get birth defects.” Foods often consumed by vegans as a protein source are amongst the most toxic and unhealthy foods on the market. Hydrocarbons derived from petroleums like hexane are used to manufacture meat substitute products like tofu, seitan and soy. David and Dawn do still eat a vegan plant-based diet except it’s entirely based on natural sources. One of the added benefits being they also avoid ingesting any of the toxins fed to animals in modern mass produced farming processes.
Safety standards are largely based on dosages, but the only truly safe level for any poison is absolutely zero. Otherwise it’s still going to have some detrimental effect but it may just take longer to notice. David adds: “Particularly with the endocrine system the hormone releases are tiny, tiny amounts. They’re such tiny amounts that it doesn’t require much of these toxic chemicals to completely disrupt the hormone excretions from these ductless glands, which is the endocrine system.” Compelling studies demonstrating the negative health effects of endocrine disruptors are dismissed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Dr Kaufman elaborates: “This applies to pharmaceuticals as well, because pharmaceuticals are generally poisons. In order to determine what they say is a safe dose, they do these assays usually with animals where they give different doses to the animals and then they see what dose do 50% of the animals die…and they call that the LD 50 (lethal dose, 50%). They only calculate that. So, let’s say we have drug X and we say at 100 milligrams 50% of the animals die, we’ll just say we’ll give 10 milligrams. But they don’t go and look at what is the LD 0. What is the lowest dose that no animals die…and wouldn’t that be the safe dose? Instead we’re just guessing somewhere below 50%. So that means some people are going to die, most likely not 0%, and we consider that to be a reasonable thing — at least the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does in terms of their toxicity standards. This is why we have a minimum of 128,000 people in the United States dying from prescription drugs. And that’s when they’re taken as directed, so not misused, no mistakes.”
The behemoth petrochemical industry took petroleum’s crude oil, usually distilled for fuels and gases to power machinery, and placed it at the core of the toxic drugs of modern pharmacology. And it has now even inserted petrochemicals into the core ingredients of the manufacturing process of food (soy lecithin is now found in most chocolate sold, which uses hexane to extract oil from soybeans).
Jesuit prepped alumnus Charles Gordon Zubrod is credited with taking mustard gas from the front-line of the battlefield and introducing it to the front-line of cancer treatment. In chemotherapy destroying all biological matter it comes into contact with, not just tumours (as does radiation therapy).
Dr Kaufman notes that if including how often cancer returns in a patient’s lifetime after their treatment then chemotherapy can be said to have up to a 97% failure rate. It’s also controversial due to doctors profiting from its recommendation – unlike alternative treatments. Commonly today leukaemia is also treated with a highly aggressive and cytotoxic form of chemotherapy. Which obliterates the bone marrow, where blood cells are made, leaving just a few healthy stem cells, hoped to be capable of re-growing the blood. Its success rate is even worse than in chemotherapy’s usage in cancer.
Many of the toxic chemicals dumped into our environment are completely unregulated. One of the more talked about ones is atrazine, as it was shown to turn frogs hermaphrodite when exposed to it. This toxin is an endocrine mimicker which mimics sex hormones and causes perturbations of sexual development. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claimed there was insufficient evidence to regulate atrazine. And as is characteristic of the modern corporate backed environmentalist movements they completely ignore the multitude of immediate challenges to the health of humanity and the environment. Authorities supposed to be dedicated to curing diseases are all too often funded by entities profiteering from their existence by instead selling “treatments.”
In multiple sclerosis (MS), “where the myelin sheath of the nerves gets damaged, there’s quite a bit of information that shows various chemicals that can do that. And I think aspartame is one of them.” “Dr Russell Blaylock said that it should never have been allowed. If it had been investigated properly then it would have been banned. It should never have been allowed onto the market and yet it’s in so many soft drinks and so many people are drinking this toxic thing.” Ann Boroch’s book, Healing Multiple Sclerosis, covers how to treat MS and other diseases caused by toxins, through cleansing and detoxification techniques. The Gerson therapy protocol and the Candida protocol are two popular cleansing methods.
There’s a frequent perception that inflammation is the cause of disease, but according to David Parker: “Inflammation is a natural process of the body. It’s an increase in blood supply to a particular injured part. It’s not something to be inhibited or to worry about — you shouldn’t do it actually. If you’ve got an injury and it becomes red it may even immobilise the joint. Let’s say you’d fallen and cracked your knee or something like that, and you get inflammation so it goes red and may stiffen up so you can’t move it very much, these are natural processes of the body healing itself. It’s trying to restrict the movement while the knee heals. It has increased the blood supply, hence so called inflammation, but this is not a bad thing. It is only if it went on for a long time, which means the healing process is not working, that you might need to do something about it, but certainly in the initial stages inflammation is a natural thing.”
David surmises in this case that correlation doest not equal causation and instead inflammation is a reaction to a disease rather than its cause. Inflammation can cause some symptoms, such as the sensory pain signal from aggravated pressure, but David concludes this to be a vital consequence which shouldn’t be inhibited by a toxic pharmaceutical — unless totally unbearable, in which case for as short a period of time as possible. There are healthier pain relief methods, including simply drinking plenty of water, applying ice to the injured area to numb it, or using detoxifying caster-oil packs. There is also the tropical flowering plant tabernaemontana divaricata found in traditional Asian medicine, the stem bark of which is extracted into conolidine, used in the ultimate fighting championship (UFC). Toxic pharmaceutical drugs can otherwise compound health problems and create a vicious medication cycle.
Auto-immune diseases are blamed for a lot of illnesses, but according to Dr Kaufman, there’s no scientific proof for the body attacking itself. “Many of these auto-immune diseases never existed before the last 50 or 75 years.” And it seems obvious that the human body didn’t suddenly become stupid and start attacking itself. That however is another handy narrative for the pharmaceutical industry to push. The modern body is under a war-like barrage of toxic poisons, yet, in its natural wisdom and complexity it remains even now an organism capable of maintaining health if properly cared for.
“I think that the whole immune system issue is definitely sold to us in this warfare paradigm, along with germ theory, that it’s just to fight invaders, but it’s really much more of a surveillance, communication and logistics system. It finds out what’s going on and undergoes operations too if there’s a problem to contain it or manage it. It’s directing different functions to go on here based on the body’s physiological needs, but it’s not a militarised organ.”
David and Dawn don’t even like to use the term “immune system” because they regard it as another misnomer. “Vaccinations of course are based on the fact, or supposed fact, that the body has this immune system which can be sort of boosted up in some way by vaccinations — and the body doesn’t work that way. The body has what we like to call a health system. Yes, it’s got various things for removing toxins or even parasites if some enter the body, with nitric oxide and things like that. So it has got lots of things that it can use but it’s the normal body functioning. There’s nothing you can do to the body, certainly not through a vaccination, which boosts it up. The only thing you can do is have a healthy body so it functions properly and that’s the best thing to do and the only thing you can do.” In German New Medicine the immune system is reclassified as the “support system.”
Dawn goes on to clarify that Vitamin C, which isn’t produced in the human body (though it is in animals) and must be obtained from food, isn’t a boost for the “immune system” but a potent antioxidant that helps detoxify free radicals. Food in its natural packaging is compiled with other elements in a synergistic way that makes all its constituents complimentary to each other and far more effective than taking them as stand-alone elements. Vitamin C works best with its other naturally combined elements, much like magnesium is needed in the body for the absorption of calcium into the bones. It’s pointless (and actually dangerous) taking high doses of calcium when deficient in magnesium. Therefore concentrating on a single assimilate is futile. Again it’s a narrative that is profitable for the pharmaceutical industry, as if they can purify a component of a plant and produce it synthetically in a factory then it can be patented. If people start treating disease as a cause and effect, instead of feeling like helpless observers, then they can adopt preventative measures against diseases, like healthy eating, limiting stressful life conditions, or eliminating any known toxins from their diet and environment.
