Cancer Truth
Did you know that your genes can be turned on and off based on physical, chemical or emotional stress? It's called epigenetics and is critical in understanding how the body works. Cancer is NOT genetic.
Kidney health
The document discusses kidney health and disease. It covers several key points:
1) Kidney failure is a major health problem in the U.S., with over 100,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Diabetes is the leading cause, accounting for 44% of new cases.
2) Proper kidney function is crucial as the kidneys filter around 200 quarts of blood per day to remove waste and regulate vital chemicals and hormones.
3) Various toxins can damage the kidneys over time, including medications like Tylenol, aspirin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories as well as substances in vaccinations. Maintaining overall health and avoiding toxins is important for kidney
Power of plants and enzymes
Enzymes are protein complexes that increase the rate of chemical reactions without being used up themselves. They are essential for digestion and many other metabolic processes. A diet high in raw foods and enzymes can aid digestion and support overall health, while a lack of enzymes from processed foods may contribute to disease development over time. Maintaining enzyme levels through food and supplements can help the body function optimally.
Nervous system
This document discusses the relationship between the nervous system and health conditions. It notes that 50% of US children have chronic diseases or disorders, including a high rate of autism. Various factors are discussed that contribute to poor health outcomes, including vaccines, medications, poor nutrition, and environmental toxins. Side effects of medications like Ritalin and antidepressants are outlined. Peripheral neuropathy and its causes are explained. The importance of the nervous system to health and disease is emphasized, as is the need for a holistic approach to health focusing on lifestyle factors rather than just medication.

Detox Diet
Dave is a 56-year-old man who has been on 10 medications for 15 years to treat various health conditions like high blood pressure, asthma, indigestion, high blood sugar, and depression. After 90 days of adopting a new philosophy focused on homeostasis and allostasis, he no longer needs any of his medications and has improved health, including better joint pain, digestion, blood sugar control, cholesterol, sleep, sexual function, and mood. The document discusses how the traditional medical model of homeostasis, which aims to maintain stable internal conditions, does not fully explain or effectively treat modern diseases. An alternative model called allostasis, which sees the body as constantly adapting to changes both internal and external, may provide better insights
Diabetes and blood pressure
This document discusses diabetes and its associated health conditions. It begins with a list of diseases that can be caused by diabetes, including strokes, heart failure, obesity, and others. It then provides historical details on diabetes, noting that rates increased 1000% in the US from 1900 to 1933. Insulin was discovered in the 1920s and helped treat diabetes, but a new "insulin-resistant" form emerged in the 1930s that did not respond well to insulin therapy. The document discusses the classification of this new form as Type 2 diabetes and emphasizes that dietary approaches were effective treatments recognized by physicians at the time.
Autism
This document discusses the rise of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and their causes. It notes an alarming increase in neurological diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, autism, and more. It attributes these increases to factors like a sedentary lifestyle, artificial sweeteners, pesticides, MSG, vaccines, gut dysbiosis, vitamin D deficiency, and electromagnetic radiation.

The document explores links between these environmental triggers, gut health, and immune function.
Healthy blood pressure
In 1905, Dr. Nicolai Korotkoff announced a new method for determining blood pressure by listening to sounds in the arteries as a blood pressure cuff is deflated. Since then, several theories have been proposed to explain the sounds Korotkoff heard, including cavitation, turbulence in the arteries, and the transmission of heart sounds. Measuring blood pressure provides important health information, but an elevated reading can have many causes, which is why there are over 100 drugs available to treat high blood pressure.
Concussions and brain health
The document discusses various topics related to brain health and trauma, including:
- The human brain contains hundreds of billions of neurons and synaptic connections that can process information rapidly.
- Trauma and certain disorders can cause permanent changes to brain structure and function, including conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, and post-traumatic stress.
- The hippocampus plays a role in many functions including pleasure, rage, emotions, and is involved in mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder. It has been found to be smaller in people with these conditions.
- Repeated head injuries increase the risk of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, while injuries to the upper neck can cause symptoms of multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease
Thyroid stress and disease
4 million children ages 3-17 are diagnosed with behavioral disorders each year. The thyroid gland regulates metabolism and production of its hormones T3 and T4, which are essential for many bodily functions. Chronic stress can damage the body over time through excess stress hormone production and imbalance of the thyroid, leading to disease. Adopting a lifestyle of gratitude, altruism, wonder, purpose, and modesty can help manage stress in a healthy way.

Specific food additives and preservatives like sodium benzoate, sodium nitrate, and MSG are highlighted as potentially increasing health risks such as cancer and neurological diseases. The impacts of a lack of gut bacteria diversity from excessive antibiotic use and a lack of exposure to microorganisms are also discussed in relation to the hygiene hypothesis.
Health In The Us1
The document discusses various topics related to health in the US, including:
- Life expectancy has increased dramatically over the past century due to improvements in medicine and healthcare, though it remains lower than other wealthy nations due to health problems related to diet and lifestyle.
- Healthcare costs have risen tremendously and remain the highest in the world, placing a large financial burden on individuals, employers and taxpayers. Many Americans lack health insurance coverage.
- Major health issues Americans face include chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and stroke, as well as problems caused by smoking, stress, depression, and the influence of the fast food industry.
Myth, Marketing and Your Health: Why Every American Should Take a Serious Loo...
This is a presentation I did for BNI. It's main focus is to demonstrate how our diets are killing us slowly and the complicity of the companies that market food-like products. Not all the slides have commentary and some may seem strange since they were placed in the presentation with the idea that I would talk about them. I think, though, that you will get the idea.

Non-Communicable Diseases
This document discusses various health issues affecting society such as neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and mental health disorders. It attributes the rise of these non-communicable diseases to factors like toxic food, lack of activity, toxic medical care, and toxic lifestyles. Various studies and data are presented arguing that vaccines, pharmaceutical drugs, and modern western diets high in processed foods and industrial oils are significant contributing causes of the growing chronic disease burden through their toxic and epigenetic effects. Alternative views of health, disease, and medical treatment are proposed focusing on homeostasis, allostasis, and lifestyle-based primary prevention approaches.
Mental health and nutrition
The document discusses the relationship between nutrition and mental health. It suggests that many psychiatric illnesses may be treated as nutritional deficiencies rather than with drugs. It provides examples of vitamins and minerals like vitamin B3, C, D, and E that can help treat conditions like depression when provided at optimal levels. The document questions the widespread use of antidepressants and suggests nutrition and lifestyle changes may help address the root causes of mental illness.
Headaches and migraines
The document discusses headaches and migraines, providing natural solutions and facts about brain health. It notes that 93% of headaches are cervicogenic, or coming from the neck, and discusses triggers like stress, medications, toxicity, and deficiencies. Solutions provided include identifying the source of headaches, correcting deficiencies or toxicity, getting chiropractic adjustments to remove nerve interference, drinking water, and adopting a healthy lifestyle.
Thoracic spine
This document discusses the anatomy, physiology, and common pathologies of the thoracic spine and nervous system. It provides examples of patients who experienced improvements in conditions like high blood pressure, arthritis, and the reduction or elimination of medications after receiving chiropractic care focused on the thoracic spine. The document emphasizes the importance of the thoracic spine, diaphragm, and nervous system in maintaining overall health and reducing disease risk.
Recover from cancer diagnosis
This document summarizes issues related to women's cancer and modern cancer treatment approaches. It notes that cancer rates have increased dramatically in recent decades despite little change in survival rates. Conventional treatments like chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are discussed, as well as alternatives like diet changes, supplements and non-toxic therapies. Concerns about environmental toxins, pharmaceutical drugs, and other modern factors that may contribute to cancer risks are also presented. The document advocates for patient empowerment and informed consent regarding cancer treatment options.
Finding balance
This document provides information on finding balance, harmony, and passion in life. It discusses that passion is the genesis of genius, and fear is the passion of slaves. Happiness can come from experiences, accomplishments, sensual pleasure, material possessions, physical appearance, financial success, and solitude. Being successful involves self-development, achievement, recognition, material possessions, popularity, personal freedom, and creativity. The highest values are inspired while the lowest values are motivated. Balance is supported through challenges. Inspiration comes from within while motivation minimizes pain and maximizes pleasure. Priorities and values include how one spends time and money and what energizes and disciplines them. Perception of a partner will equal reality, and treating a partner
Deep sleep and stress
The document discusses the importance of sleep for health and provides tips for improving sleep. It notes that sleep between 11 PM - 1 AM is important for optimal functioning as it allows for deep sleep and REM sleep. It warns that lack of sleep can increase risks of various diseases and conditions. The document recommends getting checked for chiropractic subluxations, losing weight, avoiding stimulants before bed, keeping a regular sleep schedule and dark/cool bedroom to promote better sleep.
Water
Water comprises over 70% of the human body and covers 70% of the planet. However, surface and ground water sources are being depleted and polluted due to over-pumping, which is exacerbating water crises. Alternative sources like bottled water are problematic due to waste and potential for contamination. Water filtration and choosing sustainable sources can help address issues of access to clean drinking water.
Thoracic spine
This document discusses the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the thoracic spine and nervous system. It provides examples of patients who presented with various thoracic spine issues like scoliosis, fractures, and hyperkyphosis. Through chiropractic care focused on posture, exercise, and nutrition, many patients were able to reduce symptoms, medications, and regain mobility. The role of the nervous system in maintaining health and the effects of stress are also examined.
Nervous system
This document discusses how the nervous system controls and regulates every system in the body. It explains how problems with the nervous system can lead to issues like neuropathy, heart/blood pressure problems, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, and more. It emphasizes looking at the whole person and nervous system rather than just symptoms. Maintaining a healthy nervous system involves diet, exercise, rest, and chiropractic care to allow the body to function properly.
Muscles and joint health
The document discusses the history and effectiveness of measles vaccination programs in the United States and other countries. It notes that measles outbreaks were reported even in fully vaccinated populations in the early 1980s. Some studies found that measles vaccines were not provoking a proper immune response or providing long-lasting immunity. A CDC whistleblower later revealed that a 2004 study had found that the MMR vaccine was linked to a 340% increased risk of autism in African American boys under 3 years old, but this data was covered up by the CDC.
Ibs and crohn's disease
This document discusses irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Crohn's disease. It provides statistics on IBS, describing its symptoms and that it is a functional disorder where the intestines do not work correctly despite being structurally normal. It then discusses IBD, its symptoms, and treatments focusing on relieving symptoms and surgery. It suggests IBD may be triggered by vaccinations, pasteurized dairy, and notes the official cause is labeled "idiopathic".
Headaches and migraines
Taking NSAIDs like ibuprofen is associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. The study found that NSAID use of 10 or more times per month was linked to over a 10-fold rise in heart failure risk. Regular NSAID use has also been tied to arthritis, gastrointestinal bleeding, skin conditions like toxic epidermal necrolysis, and certain cancers like pancreatic cancer in women. Chiropractic care and lifestyle changes like exercise, nutrition, rest, and stress management can help address the root causes of headaches and migraines as an alternative to toxic medications.

This document provides information on finding balance, harmony, and passion in life. It discusses that passion is the genesis of genius, and fear is the passion of slaves. Happiness can come from experiences, accomplishments, sensual pleasure, material possessions, physical appearance, financial success, and solitude. Being successful involves self-development, achievement, recognition, material possessions, popularity, personal freedom, and creativity. The highest values are inspired while the lowest values are motivated. Balance is supported through challenges. Inspiration comes from within while motivation minimizes pain and maximizes pleasure. Priorities and values include how one spends time and money and what energizes and disciplines them. Perception of a partner will equal reality, and treating a partner
Exercise for muscles and joints
The document discusses the importance of exercise for both physical and mental health. It notes that mental functions have a physical basis in the brain. It then describes the different types of muscles in the body and how they are controlled. It emphasizes that regular exercise of postural muscles through activities like resistance training and walking can improve balance, strength, and proprioception. Maintaining good posture and avoiding prolonged sitting are also recommended for health.
Depression
The document discusses several potential causes and risks associated with depression and Alzheimer's disease. It notes that depression affects over 40 million Americans and is the 4th leading cause of disability worldwide, costing over $200 billion per year. Several sections discuss research linking depression to factors like aluminum, MSG, chemical exposures, and nutritional deficiencies. The document also warns of risks associated with antidepressant medications, including increased suicidal thoughts in children and questions about their effectiveness compared to placebos.
Curing mental illness thru nutrition
The document discusses the link between nutrition and mental health. It notes that recent studies have found no link between saturated fat intake and heart disease risk, contradicting conventional beliefs. Vitamins can be more effectively utilized by the body with help from saturated fats. The document also discusses the rise of mental illness diagnoses and prescription drug use in the US. It questions the effectiveness of psychiatric drugs and suggests addressing the nutritional deficiencies underlying mental health conditions.
Cancer
Steve Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at age 48 in 2003, with symptoms starting at age 24. He died from the disease at age 56 in 2011. Vitamin D from moderate sun exposure without sunscreen may help lower the risk of certain cancers like pancreatic, as it is nearly 50% less likely in those with higher vitamin D levels from sun exposure. While surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy have been standard cancer treatments for decades, they have shown little improvement in overall survival rates for all cancers in the last 55 years. Alternative non-toxic treatments exist but are suppressed.
shingles-shot
The document discusses vaccination against shingles and the varicella zoster virus. It provides background on shingles, including that it is caused by reactivation of the same virus that causes chickenpox. It notes statistics on shingles incidence and effectiveness of the Zostavax vaccine in reducing risk. It also discusses natural immune system suppression of the virus and factors that can increase risk of shingles reactivation like aging, stress, and immunosuppression.
Change your self talk
This document discusses how changing one's thinking can change one's life. It emphasizes focusing on potential rather than limitations, and using positive self-talk. It notes that fear often stops people from achieving goals and recommends making bold decisions instead of holding onto the status quo. Changing limiting beliefs through questioning assumptions can help one dance past the fear of decisions. Taking action and changing one's state, story, and strategies are presented as ways to overcome crises and achieve what one wants in life.
