Letter to the Editor-  No more cow's milk!

Hello Didi,

Hope, that you are doing fine with your good work.

Me, I am fine and I just want to say to you, that now I follow the idea from your newsletter:
Instead of cow's milk, I now drink coconut-milk in the tea and coffee.

It tastes better and I don't need any more cows' milk- I've been getting an allergy as it happened before for some times.

Thanks for this good idea.

Yours,
Karin 
High fever kills cancer, say doctors in pioneering therapy
18 June 2009

As reported by the 'What Doctors Don't Tell You' journal last February, a fever and a high temperature can kill off cancer cells.  Now the idea is being tested on patients with pancreatic cancer.

Cancer specialists at a Texas hospital are using thermal therapy to raise the body temperature of cancer patients from the usual 98 degrees to 104 degrees, a level normally experienced when we suffer from a bad bout of flu.

The doctors carrying out the therapy believe it may kick-start the immune system into action, and so fight the cancer naturally.  They are hoping that the approach will reduce the amount of chemotherapy the patient needs.

The therapy, being carried out at the Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center in Houston, is given to pancreatic cancer patients once a month for a six-month period.

The  'What Doctors Don't Tell You' article revealed that many cases of spontaneous regression have followed a period of high fever.

Cancer Busting - Dr Hamer goes to jail
www.wddty.com


In the fight against cancer, we need all the help we can get. Every therapy should be exhaustively studied, no matter how strange. One such approach is that of Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer, who has advocated that cancer is a response to some emotional conflict.

His theory has been tested on thousands of end-stage cancer patients, and anecdotal evidence suggests that it has been very successful.

So can we assume the medical establishment is busily researching his theory? Sadly not. Instead he's been arrested and put in a prison in Madrid, and is to be extradited to France where he can look forward to three years in jail.

He was arrested outside his Madrid home recently under instruction from the French authorities, which have given him a three-year prison sentence for practising medicine without a licence.
The trial results from a visit to France that Dr Hamer made in 1993 when he attended the funeral of a friend. Although he was in France for just a few hours, he apparently saw three cancer patients who could not be saved by conventional treatment. All three subsequently died, and Dr Hamer has been blamed for their deaths.

And so the fight against cancer goes on.

MMR doctor proved right in week he was condemned as 'dishonest'

10 February 2010

In the week that the doctor at the centre of the controversy over the MMR vaccine and autism was called "dishonest, irresponsible and callous" by a medical disciplinary board, a new study has been published that suggests he could be right all along. Researchers in New York have discovered that children with autism spectrum disorder also had inflammation in the ileum, part of the small intestine - the exact same discovery made by Dr Andrew Wakefield, who may now lose his medical license following a 30-month hearing at the General Medical Council. Wakefield noted that the children he saw also had been given the triple MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine, and he speculated that it might be the cause. After the publication of his paper in The Lancet in 1998, vaccination rates dropped dramatically as parents in the UK refused to have their children vaccinated. The new study, from the New York University School of Medicine, discovered that 143 children with autism spectrum disorder also suffered from chronic gastrointestinal symptoms, and inflammation in the small intestine. As the vaccine is compulsory in the US, where the children live, it is reasonable to assume that most, if not all, were vaccinated - although the researchers do not suggest that it was the cause of the inflammation they detected.

'Dangerous' cold remedies should be taken off the shelves

'Dangerous' cold remedies should be taken off the shelves
10 February 2010
www.wddty.com

Most familiar cold and cough remedies we buy at the local pharmacy are dangerous, and should be removed from the shelves, a new report has declared. Around 30 per cent of people in Europe and the US regularly use the medications to treat colds and coughs, but nobody is telling them of the dangers, say researchers from Galen, the Global Allergy and Asthma European Network. These popular remedies contain the old generation of antihistamines which have been responsible for numerous accidents and deaths. Teenagers have used them to commit suicide, and they are also fatal if infants and toddlers are accidentally given an overdose. The drugs make people drowsy, say the researchers, and they also reduce REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. As a result, they have caused innumerable accidents on the roads. The new generation antihistamines are safer, but are as effective, say the researchers. They recommend that the remedies containing first-generation antihistamines are removed from the shelves immediately.

Dementia could be caused by OTC drugs
03 February 2010

Dementia is one of the hidden diseases. A new report from the UK reveals that the number of sufferers is 15 per cent higher than health authorities had calculated - and investigations from WDDTY suggest that over-the-counter drugs may be one of the chief causes. Around 821,000 people in the UK suffer from dementia, but gets very little funding for finding the causes and cures, says the Alzheimer's Research Trust. For every £1 spent on dementia research, £12 is spent on investigating cancer. The numbers of sufferers are 15 per cent higher than previous calculations had estimated, and the Trust says that it will afflict more than 1 million Britons alone before 2025. But a new report from WDDTY - It's drugs, not old age - suggests that many cases of dementia are being caused by everyday drugs that people buy at the pharmacy. Almost every commonly prescribed or over-the-counter drug can produce symptoms that resemble dementia, such as not remembering words or suffering short-term memory loss. Most drugs include a nerve-blocking agent, called an anticholinergic. Some drugs have known nerve-blocking qualities, but many drugs contain the agent, even though the information is not listed in drugs' patient sheets.

Cola drinks double the risk of pancreatic cancer

10 February 2010

People who drink two or more soft drinks - and especially carbonated colas - every week double their risk of developing pancreatic cancer. The drinks - defined by researchers as carbonated and sugar-sweetened - increase levels of insulin, which is a known cause of the cancer. The effect was not seen in people who drank fruit juice. Researchers from the University of Minnesota made the discovery after they tracked the health profiles of 60,524 men and women in Singapore for 14 years. In that time, 140 people developed the cancer, and after eliminating all other options, the researchers discovered they drank at least two carbonated drinks a week. On average, they were drinking five drinks a week. Although the cancer is rare, it is usually fatal, say researchers.
