Are You Ready?

by Doug A. Kaufmann

To most readers of this magazine the answer would be, "absolutely not!" But to evening news television viewers the answer seems to be a resounding "YES!"

What is the question?

Are you ready to start chemotherapy?

I, for one, will never be ready to start chemotherapy,but I well understand that millions of Americans are either currently undergoing this treatment, or have done so in the past, and I know that the decisions are difficult.

To have healthy, paid actors, however, extol the virtues of a carcinogenic "therapy" because the drug Neulasta might help an immune system now crippled by chemo is truly mind-numbing! But the development of Neulasta should have us all thinking; if the pharmaceutical field has truly invented a drug that increases the population of white blood cells, why not market it to everyone like vitamins? I'd love to have more white blood cells since they form the very basis of a healthy immune system.

Why wait for the traditional "yo-yo therapy" model, in which one "therapy" ruins immunity and another rebuilds it? Sounds great in TV ads, but read the side effects! What price immunity?

Many of you know that I have documented what I believe causes cancer. I'm not alone in my "cancer-germ" theory, but I am different from the other believers. Unfortunately, medical researchers use the words "germ" and "bacteria" synonymously. Therefore, any proposed cancer-germ relationship is scoffed at since every physician knows that the very same antibiotics used to remediate bacteria have failed to cure cancer. The world of microbiology, however, transcends this remedial approach.

It is likely that mycotoxins, produced by pathogenic molds, actually cause a wide variety of health problems, one of which is cancer. Mycotoxins are known immunosuppressants. If my hypothesis is accurate, then antibiotics (mycotoxins themselves) may well be the etiology rather than the cure.

You see, antibiotics are fuel for underlying fungal conditions. If germs cause cancer, wouldn't it make sense to increase immunity and have your white blood cells gobble up the germs? Now, I'd never recommend taking a prescriptive drug to increase immunity, but I'd love to find out if Neulasta uses beta-glucan in their formula. The scientific literature has documented for over 50 years that betaglucan can increase immunity. It can't be patented because it is naturally occurring, but certainly process patents would be one option available since that seems to be the pharmaceutical trend.

Ever since one potent, expensive cancer drug was found to be a "tyrosine kinase inhibitor," I've had far more questions than answers. Blueberries, well-known cancer fighters, are safe and inexpensive "tyrosine kinase inhibitors." Hmmm.

Please don't ever use this column as an end-all for self-help. There is so much compelling evidence that fungal germs are the cause of so many symptoms and diseases, but that is where your study only begins. Although statisticians overwhelm us with increased disease rates, one statistic is certain: 100 percent of Americans either have disease or wish to prevent it.

If you feel, as I do, that fungal germs can or do impede immunity, I'd begin looking into a company called BioActive Nutrients. Not only does this company have what I believe is one of the finest natural beta-glucan products on the market today, but they offer an array of safe and inexpensive antifungal remedies: coconut oil-derived fatty acids, olive leaf and garlic, to name a few.

Fungus is ubiquitous...white blood cells are not. Don't wait until you have cancer to start thinking of ways to enhance your immune system, when many of the answers lie within the pages of the magazine you hold in your hands.
