Ancient folklore remedy – Aloe Arborescens raw honey and pure grain alcohol –  proposed as a powerful natural treatment against cancer.

Hippocrates, father of modern medicine, used at least 14 different formulas containing aloe, 2400 years ago. Alexander the Great was exhorted by his teacher Aristotle to conquer the island of Succotra where a rare plant called Aloe succotrina grew, so he could have aloe for his soldiers. At least that’s the story that’s been handed down. This early Mediterranean variety of aloe was known to be so potent that Alexander never left on a military mission without hauling a whole forest of the plants with him.

In Brazil, a humble monk named Romano Zago has uncovered a powerful yet simple cure for cancer based on just three ingredients… one of them being whole Aloe Arborescens (not just the gel, but the whole leaf, including the skin and the sap). This Aloe cure works to help reverse not just cancer, but have used the Brazilian plant recipe to provide the body’s immune system a potent remedy for over 100 types of illnesses, including cancer, diabetes, depression and obesity.  However we are not talking about just any kind of Aloe plant.  Romano Zago stated “Recent studies administered by the Palatinin Salzano Venezia Institute in Italy have discovered that Aloe arborescens is 200% richer in medicinal substances than Aloe vera and contains more than 70% of anti-cancerogenous properties (active ingredients) as opposed to Aloe vera, which contains 40% of these properties.”

Zago comments: “This remedy acts like a broom cleaning your blood thoroughly. Do you understand now why it is a preventative remedy also? With your blood clean every organ functions well. It is like a motor car. If you use a good fuel, your car runs longer without giving you major headaches. But if you risk inferior fuel anything can happen …The remedy operates a complete cleansing of the organism, thanks to the honey which attains the furthest zones of our body. The aloe vera, carried by the honey, is an important agent of healing. As for the alcohol, it dilates the blood vessels, and facilitates this operation of general cleansing. In the space of 10 days, the blood is completely purified.’ We can also add that the remedy acts as a preventative. True, when the blood is purified, the whole organism works marvellously.”

The Aloe Arborescence (produces a red flower when it blooms) immune formula is unmatched in its potency to provide the human body a complete spectrum of phytonutrient and nutraceutical properties needed to support a healthy immune system while gently eliminating waste particles. This returns the body to a normal state of structure and function.  There are different types of Aloe plants but the best choice is the Aloe Arborescence.

A number of recent worldwide clinical studies offer scientific evidence supporting the fact that Aloe Arborescens has a high concentration of complex sugars called glucomannan polysaccharides and as many as 200 biologically active phytonutritional compounds that work in synergy to promote the modulation of innate immunity and macrophage function. In test after test, it has also been shown to kill a broad range of viruses, fungi and monilia (a particularly active fungus that attacks the mucous membranes). Consequently, it provides extraordinary support for the gastrointestinal tract, mucous membranes and connective tissue.

The human body heals itself from within and, because of its more than 200 phytotherapeutic substances, the juice from the whole leaf of Aloe Arborescens provides the perfect complement to the biological requirements of the body. In Aloe, you will find a true arsenal of useful substances that are essential for good health, such as enzymes, vitamins, proteins, amino acids, minerals, monosaccharide oils, polysaccharides, anthraquinone compounds, etc. The cleansing initiated by this recipe of Aloe will detoxify the body, renew the blood and strengthen the immune system so the body can restore itself to health.

At the request of many people and organizations, Ramano Zago has given lectures and conferences inPortugal,Spain,Switzerland,France,ItalyandBrazilabout the ability of the human body to heal and regulate itself when supplied with the cell-required concentrated micronutrients found in the polysaccharides (complex sugar molecules) of this Aloe plant species and the recipe.

Fresh aloe gel used as a topical may be the best skin cream on earth. The Medicine Plant, uses a simple formula based on this amazing plant has cured many types of cancer: skin cancer, throat cancer, cancer of the uterus, breast, prostate, brain, liver as well as intestinal cancer, leukemia, etc. While reportedly in many cases the cancer was permanently cured, in others it returned.  Therefore this is “not” a “stand alone” remedy but should be used if at possible with other time tested proven anti cancer remedies, such as the flaxseed oil and cottage cheese mixture and TRICAN ultra high nutritional formula.

An AIDS study provides one of the most dramatic clinical proofs about aloe. Nearly everyone in the study who was on the daily aloe regimen got better, as indicated by skyrocketing white T-cell counts.

Stage 4 Lung Cancer Healing – excerpted from a letter sent to Luis Quiroz Ravines of themiracleofsharing.org

“My mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 non-small cell carcinoma (lung cancer) back in January of this year which had metastasized to her eye. She first did 6 weeks of radiation for the tumor in her eye and then began her chemotherapy which was scheduled for 4 cycles.

In June my sister went to a party and ran into this friend of ours who mentioned the recipe she found after she found out about my mom. As soon as we received it I bought everything we needed to prepare it and made sure she began to take it right away. By this time my mom had already started her chemotherapy cycles.

During chemo my mom didn’t experience any chemo side effects. She wasn’t nauseous, she didn’t lose her hair or lose any weight. It was all the opposite. Her hair only thinned but she still had a full head of hair, her blood levels were always perfect. The doctor was always amazed at her results every time he saw her and her blood was drawn. To make this long story short my mom’s chemo was cut short and the doctor decided to test her after her 3rd cycle because he was so amazed at her results and how well she was doing.

My mom had her PET scan in July and the scan came back negative. There was not a trace of cancer anywhere in her body. Her doctor is still amazed and she is doing great. We owe my mom’s health and recovery to all of our faith and this heaven-sent tonic.”

One patient from this trial also had advanced liver cancer and was given less than two months to live. His liver was four times normal size. He kept drinking the juice, improved gradually… one year later his tumors were gone.

Pathologist H. Reginald McDaniel, M.D., also involved with this trial, was initially skeptical. Seeing seriously ill patients improve was good. But what really sealed it for him was a disease of his own — viral pneumonia which conventional medicine couldn’t cure. He drank aloe, and his cure made him an aloe advocate.

Various cancer patients have experienced remarkable reversals in health status after adding aloe to their protocol. It was, in fact, triumphant accounts of Aloe vera enhancing the efficacy of previously failed treatments that spurred the glyconutrient movement. -Disease Prevention and Treatment by The Life Extension Editorial Staff

Ivan Danhoff of the North Texas Research Laboratory in Grand Prairie, Texas, discovered large 9,000-molecule Aloe Vera polysaccharides, he freeze-dries to inactivate enzymes, called “Albarin” used in I.V. treatment of terminal cancers. He was in application and raided by the FDA. in October 2001 at the Medical Centers for Preventive & Nutritional Medicine in Florida, after having put 94 of the first 100 cancers studied into remission in terminal patients given 2-3 months to live, with 80% of remaining patients in remission. - Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health by Joseph E.

Acemannan, extracted from the aloe vera plant, appears to be one of its most active ingredients. It is used both orally and intravenously, and has uses from antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial to helping with symptoms from AIDS and cancer. - Smart Medicine for Healthier Living : Practical A-Z Reference to Natural and Conventional Treatments for Adults by Janet Zand, LAc, OMD, Allan N.

Taken internally, 98 or 99 percent pure aloe vera juice is known to aid in the healing of stomach disorders, ulcers, constipation, hemorrhoids, rectal itching, colitis, and all colon problems. Aloe vera can also be helpful against infections, varicose veins, skin cancer, and arthritis, and is used in the treatment of AIDS. We have had excellent results using colon cleansers containing psyllium husks in combination with aloe vera juice. We have found this combination to be good for food allergy and colon disorder sufferers. - Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements by Phyllis A.

What exactly is Vitamin D and Why is it so Important?

One of the most important vitamins for healthy body function is vitamin D. Vitamin D2 is manufactured by many plants, whereas vitamin D3 is produced in the human body (in the skin in particular) as a result of exposure to sunlight or UVB. Both of these vitamin D derivatives are essential for helping to control the amount of calcium and phosphorus in your bloodstream. What vitamin D actually does is to help your body absorb small quantities of calcium, which as you may well know is essential for helping to form good healthy bone structure. But in addition to that, vitamin D, when working either under its own steam or in conjunction with calcium, is particularly important in improving the density of your bone tissue, thereby helping to avert and minimise any fracturing. But that’s not all…

Vitamin D also plays an important part as a crucial regulator, enabling your immune system to function at optimum performance levels. It facilitates the manufacture of one of your body’s key peptides, (cathelicidin), a natural peptide that your body’s immune system produces when it’s under invasion from any bacteria, fungi, or viral based threat.

What are the Effects of Vitamin D Deficiency?

As with all vitamins it is essential that their levels should be controlled within certain parameters; having low levels of vitamins will impede healthy body function in one way or another, dependent on the exact vitamin deficiency, whilst having excess quantities of vitamins may also create vitamin toxicity.

In terms of suffering from a deficiency of vitamin D, the illnesses or conditions that may be caused include Ricketts and Osteomalacia. Ricketts can be especially damaging in young children, and the lack of calcium can help to contribute to bone deformation. In an adult however, when Osteomalacia is diagnosed, the patient may experience a weakness of the muscles, and a reduction in bone integrity, opening the way for brittle bone disease, also known as osteoporosis.

But it doesn’t stop there. Vitamin D deficiency has also been linked with the onset of many other diseases, such as a variety of forms of cancer, increased vulnerability to cardiovascular problems, a heightened risk of contracting type 2 diabetes; greater chance of developing muscular sclerosis, and an aggravated probability of suffering from rheumatoid arthritis – all in all, a very worrying combination of ailments.

What is the Likelihood of creating a Vitamin D Toxicity?

It’s all very well to look at one side of the argument, but in order to get a balanced view you also have to take the alternative arguments into consideration. If, in an attempt to avoid vitamin D deficiency, you were to modify your diet to increase the amount of foods you eat that contain it; if you subjected your body to longer exposure to UVB or sunshine, and you also took liberal dosages of vitamin D supplements – what would be the effect? Well the answer is diddley squat – nothing!

In order to suffer from vitamin D toxicity, you would have to take obscene amounts of supplements, spend countless hours of time exposing your skin to the Sun, and eat yourself to explosion point with vegetables that contain vitamin D. That’s not of course to say that you should allow any of these things to happen, but it merely goes to show that it is extremely unlikely that you would incur vitamin D toxicity through overexposure of one type or another.

Having said that, you would be encouraged to ingest a ‘natural’ form of Vitamin D3 as opposed to an artificial supplement, therefore cod liver oil would be an excellent choice.  Search for a certified PBC free brand of cod liver oil.  Three to four cod liver oil supplements daily would be recommended and by the way cod liver oil is excellent for combating constipation!

Vitamin D Supplementation

It is important that you get as much of your Vitamin D from natural sources such as the sun and your daily diet, but many feel that in most cases this is inadequate and that for optimum levels, Vitamin D supplementation is required.

The Vitamin D Council states that our bodies use around 3,000 to 5,000 IU per day which is far greater than the 600 IU as recommended by the U.S Food and Nutrition Board.

Other medical resources recommend around 1,000 to 2,000 IU. So consider and Upper Intake Level (UL) of around 2,000 IU.

What Foods contain Vitamin D?

Okay, so now we have perhaps quelled your fears about vitamin D toxicity, you may have divined that it would be wise to modify your diet to ensure you are ingesting enough. So your next logical question will be what foods are rich in vitamin D?

One of the main sources of vitamin D is fish, which is great news because it also contains another important health food, i.e. Omega 3 oil. Other foods that are rich in vitamin D include all types of red meat, (liver too), but for the vegetarians amongst you, mushrooms, (and in particular wild mushrooms that are exposed to plenty of UV), which contain as much as 100% of the vitamin D intake that your body requires!

Conclusion

Having established that it is almost impossible to self generate vitamin D toxicity; having also considered the problems that vitamin D deficiency can generate, let’s close this vitamin D review by summarising its benefits, either through supplemental means, or natural diet. They include:

• Maximising calcium ingestion
• Optimising phosphorus production
• Warding off Type 2 diabetes
• Helping to prevent a weakening of your musculature
• Reducing the likelihood of developing osteoporosis
• Enhancing your immune system
• Helping to regulate blood pressure
• Reducing risk of bacterial infection
• Helping to protect against cancer

It can be seen that maintaining the right levels of vitamin D in your body system is an essential element of keeping fit and healthy, and this is even more important for expectant mums. The benefits outweigh any downside by a considerable margin. You should therefore take care to ensure that your body system has the levels of vitamin D that it needs to operate efficiently, to enhance your immune system, and to ward off the many ill effects that a vitamin D deficiency can bring about.

1. Helping your body work at its very best!
2. Increase Cell Nutrition – Increased Energy
3. Balance Immunity
4. Anti Aging

Research and countless testimonials indicate that all illnesses including cancers are the result of a nutritional deficiency. This nutritional deficiency causes structural changes in the amino acid, hormones, biofeedback communication, all cellular nutritional mechanisms, DNA instructions and replication, causing a change in cellular manufacturing instructions and supply.

In addition the toxic soup we live in today combined with negative emotional trauma further increases the breakdown of our cellular mechanism.

A regular consumption of white refined sugar, as in fizzy (soft) drinks (1 soft drink contains up to 10 teaspoons of white refined sugar), chips (crisps), store bought pastries, deep fried foods (French fries, donuts).  Also prepared meats (hot dogs, sausages, bacon, ham) fast foods, food additives, etc.  Most foods are cooked at 350 to 400 F, but whenever we cook our food over 105 F (40 Celsius) instead of steaming our foods, we destroy many of the important enzymes. As well as refined oils and processed foods, toxins, stress and other factors, our body suffers from a mineral deficiency which causes an unbalanced chemistry, which will alter the instructions of the DNA when producing new cells.

According to the research of Dr. Kelley these processed foods are dead and without enzymes or very low on enzymes.  This lack of pancreatic enzymes is what starts off the cancer process.  Dr. Kelley says to eat animal protein in the morning and noon meals but not in the afternoon or evenings.  This would give the body time to break down the protein. Dr Kelley stated that cases of cancer would drop drastically if people followed this.

It’s the failure of the pancreases to produce adequate enzymes to digest the protein and clean up the worn out and dead cells of the body that starts the cancer and many other illnesses.  By restoring the adequate nutrition to the body on a cellular level, the pancreas will start to work properly and generate adequate amounts of enzymes to digest the protein.

“KILLING” Cancer is NOT the REAL answer!

There is no need to kill cancer nor any other “Incorrect” cells, they die as a natural occurrence, like algae in a swimming pool when the pH balance is corrected

Most cancer clinics and anti cancer remedies are all about “killing” or “destroying” cancer cells. However the research shows that killing cancer cells is not the real answer. How can you kill a cell made by the body as per DNA instructions without expecting the body to manufacture more after you killed it????

We need to understand that the “cancer” cell is the result of the problem, not the cause. Therefore, upon killing the cancer cell, “the result of the cause”, the cause was never addressed nor corrected. Therefore, the body continues to manufacture cancer cells uninterrupted. Over time, the body produces more cancer cells, the doctors then say, “Oh my goodness, the cancer came back. How did that happen, I thought we got all of it out !!” They did not realize that they removed the “by-product” of the condition instead of correcting the real true “cause”. Killing the cancer with harsh chemicals also weakens and kills normal cells and causes biochemical stress, including mineral chelation, taking minerals out of the body. If we keep in mind our body is somewhat like a ‘chemical laboratory’, the intelligent and effective approach is to supply the body with all the chemical elements, hormones, minerals, etc so it can reproduce cells properly.  Here is a list of some 60 chemicals present in the human body. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

Dr. Budwig was not into ‘killing’ cancer cells and tumors.  Her approach was to give the body adequate nutrition. The true remedy is proper nutritional restoration to the nervous system and cell nutrition throughout the body which in turn causes corrective domino – effect reactions. Upon nutritional correction, the body resumes correct DNA instructions leading to correct cell production. When the body’s environmental factors are correct, the body no longer manufactures the cancer cells, the existing cancer cells are no longer able to exist in the corrected environment and die in a natural manner and are eventually replaced by normal cells.

This change alters the DNA instructions, which causes the body to manufacture cells, hormones and chemistry differently, in a mass production method.  To illustrate this, imagine you are making thousands and millions of photocopies.  However the original document because of carelessness gets a mark on it from food or some other product.  Now every copy that is produced will show up with that unsightly, horrible unwanted mark on it.  That’s what happens to our ‘original’ DNA that produces cells when harmful foods and lack of nutritional foods are not provided.

The cells now have damage to them and each day the body produces some an estimated 500 million new cells.  These ‘new cells’ are a mirror image or ‘photocopy’ of the original cells.  If the original is damaged then the copy will be damaged or lacking as well. That is why we need to correct the ‘original document’, the DNA.  Otherwise it will keep on producing millions and trillions of defective ‘copies’.

Its an endless task as each day the body will produce another 500 million defective “photocopies”. The TRICAN corrects the original “document” or DNA of the cells with a blast of ultra high nutrition. That way the DNA will now start producing healthy cells instead of distorted and diseased cells.  That is the real solution to the problem

When a doctor sees that “differently manufactured cell”, they call it a tumor or cancer, and remove it as though that is the disease. If hormones are made incorrectly, the results include diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc. In reality, these are not diseases because the body created them as a result of the incorrect chemistry. The only way to eliminate the problem is to correct the deficiency. 

To correct this problem, the BUDWIG CENTER provides its patients with a highly nutritional powder mix called TRICAN that literally shocks the body’s autonomous nervous system with high doses of minerals, amino acids and Vitamin E and D.

This harmonizes with the approach of Dr. Budwig who would supply highly nutrition food such as the flaxseed oil and cottage cheese to her patients to restore the health of the cells.

Also she would apply flaxseed oil and Wheat Germ oil which is rich in Vitamin E to get that into the body and highly charge it with live energy and she encouraged sunbathing to cause the body to produce Vitamin D in great quantities.

TRICAN was put together by a bio-chemist who had pancreatic cancer and after talking with the doctors about traditional therapies, decided that it was illogical to use chemotherapy and other therapies that “killed” cancer cells but did not correct the “cause” or the DNA which was producing the defective cells.  He has been cancer free for some 35 years now using his highly nutritional formula.  In addition he was in the Twin Towers when they were hit by the terrorists and was in a wheel chair for over a year.  Consuming TRICAN he is back walking and he looks about 20 years younger than his actual age.

Even normally healthy people that consume TRICAN notice several benefits within a few weeks.  Because TRICAN is correcting the actual cell reproduction on a DNA level this is perhaps one of the most effective anti aging natural food products.  Most experience more energy, increased or restoration of libido, increased stamina, stronger immune system (fewer colds, flu and other common illnesses), general overall well-being.

Trican is available to buy from Life Integrative Medicine.

But when your body system pH levels get out of balance, the result can be even more drastic because it affects your immune system. It is a scientifically proven fact that when your body pH levels become too acidic (a condition known as acidosis), you are much more susceptible to falling ill. It’s all about looking after your body’s internal environmental condition. By providing a clean environment for your body cells, you are giving them the very best protection against becoming diseased, and remember, all illness starts at cellular level.

How To Test Your pH Levels

In order for your body to have a healthy pH balance, it should measure 7.4 on the pH scale. But how do you go about measuring it? Well in actual fact it couldn’t be easier. All you need to do is to obtain a testing kit from your local pharmacy or, if you prefer, you can buy them online. The kit consists of a set of small pH balance test strips. All you need is a small sample of either saliva or urine. You then take 1 test strip and dip the end in the body solution you have chosen to test. The end of the strip which has been immersed will then change colour. Next, simply take your test strip and compare it to the colour chart that is also a part of the kit you bought. The colour chart is coded with the pH levels that correspond to the various shaded colours. Whilst these tests are not the most accurate way of measuring your body’s pH levels, (you should go to your doctor and arrange a blood test for spot-on accuracy), they will at least give you a more than good indication of where your level lies.

When testing your saliva or urine you will need to be aware that they will give different readings as both solutions are produced in different ways and have different optimum ranges. Let’s take saliva first. The natural optimum reading for saliva is 7.5, which means that your body is slightly alkaline – perfect! Please note however that you should wait until 2 hours after eating or drinking to carry out your test. Also, to get the best view of how your body is performing, you should do three tests throughout the day. Simply spit into a spoon, dip the test strip in the spittle, wait a few seconds, and then simply match it up to the colour swatch.

When To Test Your pH Levels

When testing your urine, follow these simple instructions. You should do a urine test first thing in the morning shortly after you get up. Collect a small sample of urine in a cup and dip in the test strip. Once again, wait a few seconds and offer the test stick up to the colour swatch. Just be aware that urine is more acidic first thing in the morning, therefore a normal reading would be around 6.5 being the first reading of the day. If you do it two hours after breakfast it should be more in the range of 7.4

Your diet will significantly affect your body’s pH levels. As you might well expect, the bad foods, (Burgers, chips, Cola, chocolate, sweets etc), are so called “acid” foods and will raise the acid level in your blood, whereas the good foods, (fresh produce, green leafy vegetables, salads, nuts etc), are “alkaline” foods and will help to maintain a more alkaline aligned pH level.

Given how important your pH levels are, and how simple and inexpensive the test kits are, you should be sure to test yourself from time to time to ensure that your system is not too acidic. A carefully balanced pH state is your best way of avoiding illness. Check it out now!

The human body is an extremely complex organism, and during its natural day to day function it manufactures lots of different chemicals to support the major life functions. But if we eat an unhealthy diet, a diet that is too high in fatty foods for example, then our body chemistry can become too acidic, and an acidic environment is just the right sort of atmosphere to promote a whole host of illnesses including cancer.

The acidic state of your body is referred to as its pH balance, rather like a swimming pool, and in actual fact, given that our bodies are made of 80% water, it’s quite a good analogy to draw. To have a balanced or neutral pH, your body’s pH level should register 7.4 pH; anything lower than that, and your body environment will be too acidic, and anything above that, it will be too alkaline. Do you remember at school when you used Litmus paper to measure for acidity? If so you’ll probably remember that blue Litmus paper turns red when exposed to acidic solutions, and red Litmus turns blue when exposed to alkaline solutions. It is this same balance of acid or alkaline that is important to your body and its immune system.

The reason that having too much acid in your body’s chemistry is bad for you is that it makes your body go in search of certain minerals, which, when it finds them in your organs, your bones and your teeth, it then proceeds to rob them thereby weakening the hosts from which they have been taken. In reality this is quite a common situation and many people accordingly suffer from a mineral deficiency which can go on for years before it is finally spotted.

The name given to this condition of excess acidity is Acidosis, and as well as impairing the efficiency of your immune system, it also manifests itself in other ways. For example it lessens the body’s capability to ingest various nutrients and minerals. It can also increase your chances of becoming susceptible to illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, tuberculosis, osteoporosis (brittle bone disease), hypertension, and cancer. In addition, Acidosis decreases the amount of cellular energy in your body as well as interfering with its ability to reproduce new cells. In other words as old cells die, (and they will do so in increasing numbers because of the low energy) they will not be replaced.

But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Prolonged Acidosis also means that you will tire more easily; you may also suffer from headaches, insomnia, breathing difficulties, heart palpitations, and the skin on both your hands and your feet may feel hot and dry. But one of the most dangerous things that Acidosis does is to create an environment that encourages and supports the growth of abnormal cells – cancerous cells!

So all in all it is plain to see how undesirable it is to have a low body pH count, or Acidosis. Given the serious nature of the problem, you should prioritize establishing your body’s pH level; it is not difficult to do. The easiest way is to measure the pH levels of either your saliva, or your urine. You can buy pH test strips which you simply dip into one substance or the other. They are general available in many health and wellness stores, but if you have any difficulty you can track them down very easily on the web. They are not wildly accurate, but they will give you a good indication of where your pH level is at. For a more accurate reading you should visit your doctor and he/she can run a simple blood test for you.

The most effective way of influencing your body’s cell and tissue pH level is through your diet. To rid yourself of chronic Acidosis may not however be quite as simple as it sounds. There are many natural foods that are recommended for “Alkalizing” your body system, things like avocados, chick peas, potatoes, lemon juice and red capsicums; but one of the problems is that when ingested, many of these foods lose their alkaline properties. That is why the homeopathic substances “Sans” and “Alkala” are used by those in the know as an effective way of alkalizing.

In our next blog post, we will be discussing the different ways in which you can check your pH balance.

But the one thing that we can all agree on, is the natural health benefits of this little yellow superstar.

Raw lemon juice is well known for it’s antioxidants and anti-cancer properties and has been used for centuries in order to cure many ailments. Being rich in Vitamin C, it is also essential for maintaining a fully functional immune system, aiding digestion, fighting cancer, helping wounds to heal faster and can even help to prevent heart failure.
In the 18th Century, The Royal Navy used lemons to fight scurvy (Vitamin C deficiency) and the roman Emperor Nero was reputed to have consumed copious amounts in order to prevent being poisoned by one of his many enemies.

But lemons are not only used for their medicinal qualities and health benefits. Lemon juice is also used in the home in order to disinfect surfaces, remove stains, clean cookers and remove old wax. It can also be used as an insecticide to deter mosquitoes, flies and other insects.

It’s hard to imagine any natural product that contains so many beneficial usages than the humble little lemon. You could say that it’s the Swiss Army Knife of the fruit world!

Let’s take a look at a few more of the incredible benefits of lemon juice.

pH Alkaline State – It is vital to maintain a slightly positive alkaline state in order to fight off Cancer and other illnesses. Although acidic to taste, lemons are one of the most alkaline of foods and help to push our bodies to the required pH alkaline state of around 7.4. See this chart for a large list of alkaline forming foods.

Blood Purifier – Lemons are a blood purifier and help the body to remove toxins.

Blood Sugar Balance – The acidity of raw lemon juice lowers the impact of any meal on your blood sugar.

Detoxification – Raw lemon juice cleanses the kidneys and the digestive system. It helps the body in the removal of toxins and provides you with a great overall detox.

Weight Loss - The pectin in lemon peel is a great source of fiber that is thought to help overweight people lose weight.

Osteoporosis – Lemon juice is rich in Vitamin C and helps the body to absorb calcium and fight osteoporosis. Two tablespoons of raw lemon juice diluted in a glass of warm water is good for pregnant women, as it helps build the bones in the unborn child.

Insomnia – in case of insomnia, raw lemon juice helps to improve sleep.

Brain and Nerve Food – The potassium found in raw lemon juice helps the brain and nerve cells, improves concentration, memory and calms the mind.

Immune System – Raw lemon juice strengthens the immune system which in turn helps fight many illnesses including cancer.

Infection – When sickness has developed raw lemon juice is an excellent fighter of infection, as it is rich in citric acid.

Cough and Cold – Lemon added to a little hot water with some honey is one of the most effective remedies known for a cough and cold.

Asthma – Having half-teaspoonful of lemon juice, washing it down with luke-warm water before each meal provides quick relief to Asthma. Repeating it as the last dose of the day and starting the day with it also gives very positive results.

Corns – Apply lemon juice few times a day and see the miraculous results. Bind the corn and leave it overnight and get rid of the trouble soon.

Nausea, Vomiting and Travel Sickness – Take a glass of lemon juice diluted with some water to help with travel sickness and nausea.

LEMON DRINK RECIPE

Day 1 – the juice of 1 lemon
Day 2 – the juice of 1.5 lemons
Day 3 – the juice of 2 lemons
Day 4 – the juice of 2.5 lemons

Keep increasing by ½ every day until you reach 5 lemons (this will really help push the body to a pH Alkaline state which is very important in overcoming an illness)

Then start to go down by the juice of ½ lemon until you reach zero.

5 lemons would be a reasonable goal for smaller people, children, etc. You can go as high as 10 or even 30 lemons for adults.

You can add Stevia and of course water; adjust to your own taste. No maple syrup or any other sweetener if you have cancer. Cancer patients should not take more than 2 teaspoons of honey per day, so easy on that as well.

You do not have to drink the lemon juice all at once. You can make it and keep some in the refrigerator and drink it throughout the day. It is excellent to combat nausea. Add a little warm or room temperature water to the juice as one should never drink cold drinks.

After consuming the lemon juice, take some pure water, rinse the mouth and swallow so that you do not have lemon juice on your teeth, which in high amounts could be hard on the enamel over a period of time.

Once you reach the 5 or 10 to 15 or 30 lemons in one day start to go back down slowly decreasing one lemon daily, or one-half lemon daily.

You can also use the lemon rind when baking as it contains Limonene which is also very beneficial. Make sure that you are using organic lemons as the peel of non-organic lemon will possibly contain harmful pesticides.

Prostate cancer 4+5 (PSA 420, 99). No bones metastasis, but there is a lymph node block which we do not know what it is. The exams were taken at the end of April when we found out that my father suffers from cancer.

After completing the full Budwig Center protocol here were the results

“Dr Jenkins I’m writing to you in order to inform you about my father’s decision, as I promised. Two days ago we had the results of my father’s blood test. The results were perfect and doctors were astonished. His health general condition was excellent and PSA decreased from 420 (15 April) to 0.34 (1 Sept). Doctors could not explain it (they expected a 60-70 units decreasion), but my family and I believe that this was due to Budwig mix and the natural way of living (exercise and the diet you suggest). Although he did have some hormonal therapy, he has not been taken radiation yet and the doctors told him that maybe he can go to the surgery.

So, due to these news he decided for a couple of months to do exactly what he’s been doing until now, watch it how it goes and after a couple of months – and after he do the test that shows where there are tumors and how much they have been shrunk (I don’ t know how it is called in English) – to decide wether he has the operation or/and take your treatment, without excluding the possibility to come to Spain.

I feel l owe you a big thanks for your advices and I want you to know that I speak about you everywhere I hear people with this kind of problems. The problem is that in Greece there are no doctors who can inform or advice people about alternative medicine, so patiens are cautious.”

Thank you once again, goodbye for now.
