Plagiarism means "to steal or pass off (the ideas or words of another)  as one's own; using (another's production) without crediting the source." Merriam Webster's Dictionary. Other dishonest people have taken my articles in the past and sent them to their list of people after deleting my name, but Ben Brown went further than this--he signed his name to the article as the author. Furthermore, he took nearly all my words from each section of the newsletter and substituted Ben and Lisa Brown and Eden's Pathway Lifestyle Center in place of Danny Vierra, Modern Manna, and BellaVita.

      For the record, I did contact Ben several times by email and he admitted he had plagiarized my newsletter and responded, rather nonchalantly, "Sorry about that." After several more unsatisfactory and sarcastic responses from Ben,  I consulted other pastors who advised me to inform my subscribers of the offense. If you receive a copy of No Incurable Diseases Part Two, or any other article that looks like The Elijah Prophecy from Ben Brown or Eden's Pathway Lifestyle Center, please be assured it has been done without permission from me or Modern Manna. I gladly extend the right for anyone to share my articles, but when doing so, simply cite the source as well. Now to No Incurable Diseases Part Two.

   There is great healing potential in plants. One phytochemical, sulforaphane, was discovered by Paul Talalay, M.D. at John Hopkins University when he and his colleagues were looking for substances in cruciferous vegetables that would raise Phase II enzymes.  They later administered sulforaphane to laboratory rats with mammary tumors.  They saw a marked reduction (at least 50%) in the incidence in tumors and their size and development.  Dr. Talalay also found that a three day-old sprouts of arugula, bok choy, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, had 10 to 100 times more glucoraphanin than corresponding mature plants.
    Dr. Talalay and his colleague, plant physiologist Dr. Jed W. Fahay, have a patent on broccoli sprouts that contain high levels of sulforaphane or glucoraphanin.  The patent belongs to John Hopkins and the product is called BroccoSprouts.  You only have to eat 1/20th of the amount of mature broccoli. So eating two servings of broccoli sprouts per day is comparable to eating 40 servings of mature broccoli.

     In 1995, the National Cancer Institute pursued 40 new or established studies in the area of nutrition that involved enzymes, fiber, fat, micronutrients, vitamins, and phytochemicals.

    Plants also contain phytosterols which they store in an oil form in their membranes. The two main phytosterols are beta-sitosterol and campesterol.  Dr. Awad of the University of Buffalo found that beta-sitosterol inhibited the growth of prostate cancer cells.  Vegetarians get around 400 mgs. of phytosterols a day from their diet.  Average Americans about 80 mgs. All plants contain phytosterols.   

     A company called Nutrastar has applied for a patent for their stabilized rice bran products that are safe and effective for use in complementary and alternative medicine. Stabilized rice bran is to phytosterols what BroccoSprouts are to sulforaphane. Rice bran contains the highest amount of these plant compounds and numerous other super-antioxidants that can fight cancer. I love stabilized rice bran and the taste reminds me of Graham crackers. I just add some rice milk and eat a bowl without having to cook it. You can find it on the internet sold in 40 lb. bags.

      Another food that contains high amounts of a beneficial fatty acid, called omega three fatty acid, is flaxseed. Flaxseed contains 54% of this powerful fatty acid that can lower LDL cholesterol while raising HDL cholesterol. It causes cells to attract oxygen and is known as a breast cancer preventative because it supports female organs and can help balance hormones. Johanna Budwig, Ph.D., of Germany has shown that the omega 3 fatty acids in flax kill human cancer cells in tissue cultures without destroying normal cells in the same culture. She also points out that flaxseeds are high in electrons. Flaxseed oil should be refrigerated and not stored beyond the expiration date on the bottle. The oil is processed in light and oxygen-free environment and packaged in a black bottle to avoid rancidity.
     The Gerson Therapy has been proven to:

1) Harmonize the person's biochemistry
2) Elevate the workings of a suppressed immune system
3) Rectify the malfunctioning of essential organs.

   The underlying cause of all disease according to Gerson is toxicity and deficiency (malnourishment). Both problems must be addressed to heal the patient.

1) The deficiency was overcome by a tremendous amount of nutrients available in the multiple (thirteen 8 oz. Glasses) given every hour and made from organically grown produce.

 

2) The toxicity is addressed by using coffee enemas, the primary means of detoxification. Patients also experienced pain relief as their livers released cellular toxins. The coffee enema opens the bile ducts and helps the body release the body's accumulated poisons. Peter Lechner, M.D., of the Second surgical Division in Graz, Austria, made some scientific studies on how coffee enemas work.
 
     Thousands of people have benefited from the The Gerson Therapy from life-threatening and chronic diseases. The Gerson Therapy is being used by the American Cancer Society, which once condemned Dr. Gerson and blacklisted his diet. Moreover the NCI and the AHA both encourage the use of a modified version of the Gerson eating program.

      Another alternative cancer program uses the Hoxsey Herb Formula that contain known herbal cancer fighters like red clover, chaparral, and poke root. Red Clover is commonly known as a blood purifier. Science has discovered that Red Clover also contains genestein, the same estrogenic isoflavone for which the soybean has been getting all the press. It also contains three other compounds for preventing or slowing the growth of cancer. These compounds have all been documented to produce anticancer effects.  They are anti-angiogenic, meaning that they prevent the formation of new blood vessels, thereby cutting off the ability for the tumor to grow. Red Clover also is a blood thinner and contains the phytochemical coumarin much like the pharmaceutical blood-thinning drug coumadin.

     Burdock Root is claimed to inhibit tumor growth. Poke Root, sometimes called cancer root, was recognized by the early Eclectics for its anti-cancer properties. One famous Eclectic physician, Eli Jones, whom one science writer referred to as "one of the founders of modern oncology" considered poke as the most valuable general remedy available for treating cancer. Poke hit the headlines in 1998 when Anti-microbial Agents and Chemotherapy, the Official Journal  of the American Society for Microbiology, published a study about a promising new drug that eradicates HIV infection (AIDS) in mice. The new agent contains a potent antiviral protein from the pokeweed plant and was found to be 100 to 1000 more active than any other anti-HIV agent produced to date. The new medications work like a magic bullet, delivering the plant-derived inhibitor selectively to AIDS-infected cells.  The mice in the study were cured of human AIDS without side effects.  Therapeutic drug levels were achieved in monkeys without side effects. As a result of these promising results, the FDA granted permission to start clinical studies in HIV-infected patients at treatment centers in the US. Bayberry and Prickly Ash Bark-Bayberry contains a wealth of anticancer, antitumor, antioxidant, and mutation-preventing compounds, as well as cancer-preventive properties.  Prickly Ash contains some of the same alkaloid compounds found in bayberry. The other Hoxsey herbs, buckthorn bark, cascara sagrada, stillingia root, and licorice root, have all shown meaningful anti-cancer activity as well.
