Understanding the body's pH; an introduction to Dr. Carl Reich and Robert Barefoot The importance of the following sections cannot be overemphasized. Simply put, cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment even if it's inside your body. We begin with an introduction of Dr. Carl Reich and Robert R. Barefoot, biochemist. Robert Barefoot has an extensive background as a biochemist specializing in nutritional health research. He has produced a large number of scientific publications on the body's pH and its relationship to degenerative diseases and health. He is one of the authors of The Calcium Factor, along with Carl J. Reich, M.D., and wrote Death by Diet at his wife's request to reduce the scientific language to terms a layman could understand, and so understand the main elements of disease and how to change it. Originally Dr. Carl Reich came to Robert Barefoot to find out why, when treating his patients with calcium deficiencies such as arthritis, unusual things were happening with his patients' health problems. Their diabetes disappeared, their cancer disappeared, and he asked Barefoot, "What am I doing?" In 1981, Robert Barefoot and Dr. Carl Reich began intensive medical research into the relationship between disease and nutrition. They were astounded while reviewing medical and scientific libraries because thousands upon thousands of publications written by world renowned scientists and doctors showed that disease and nutrition are in fact related. They confirmed that it is common knowledge that disease could be prevented and cured by diet and that doctors and the public have very little knowledge regarding these issues. There is massive scientific evidence proving all the claims made within their publications, which can be verified at your library. Dr. Carl Reich and Robert Barefoot also found, as people get older they become deficient in nutrients. They state that one usually thinks a good diet would keep you alive, but apparently it's not what we do eat, it's what we don't eat. These deficiencies cause your body to become very acidic, which triggers cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, heart disease, etc. This is explained molecule by molecule in the publications. Dr. Otto Warburg (twice a Nobel Prizewinner) and Robert Barefoot are together in their thoughts that most diseases are caused by the body lowering into an unnatural deadly acidic state. Every researcher knows that, so why don't doctors alkalize their patients? Well, most doctors don't know how to alkalize a person because they only get a few hours of education on nutrition. The bottom line is the research is available, and we do know how to properly feed the body and alkalize it. This is amply covered in Dr. Carl Reich and Robert Barefoot's publications Death by Diet and The Calcium Factor and on this website. Remember, EVERY time Dr. Warburg put a tumor into an alkaline medium, it would die within seconds. According to Dr. Warburg, to kill cancer all you have to do is make your body . . . ALKALINE by taking certain supplements and by following some commonsense health rules. The basic elements or minerals for raising the body's pH are calcium, magnesium, potassium and other trace metals, as well as vitamins. V

Interesting about onions and garlic. Are garlic capsules considered as effective as consuming the "real thing"? Or maybe the larger question is how can the breath problem with onions and garlic be avoided?

Colon Cancer Highlights Need for Early Detection Pathologists Urge Regular Health Screenings NORTHFIELD, Ill., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in America and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Sharon Osbourne's recent encounter with this potentially deadly disease illustrates the importance of early detection in diagnosis and treatment. "Timing is critical when it comes to cancer -- the sooner it is detected the better the chance a person has to get successful treatment," said Jonathan Louis Myles, MD, FCAP at Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio. "Even though consumers know that early colon cancer detection saves lives, many say they are 'too busy' or simply forget to schedule their colon exams." Reducing the number of deaths from colon cancer depends on detecting and removing precancerous colorectal polyps, as well as detecting and treating cancer in its early stages. In fact, colon cancer can be prevented by removing polyps before invasive cancer develops. Dr. Myles, a physician who specializes in treating patients through laboratory medicine, says when colon cancer is diagnosed in its localized stage, survival rates are as high as 90 percent. However, once the disease spreads within the colon, that rate drops to 65 percent; and when cancer has spread beyond the colon to distant sites death rates are high-about 92 percent of patients will die within five years. The College of American Pathologists recommends that all men and women have regular exams for colon cancer, starting at age 50. Screening tests for colon cancer are: -- digital rectal examination (DRE), annually, and -- fecal occult blood test (FOBT), or -- flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years, or -- barium enema with air contrast every five years, or -- colonoscopy every 10 years "Colon cancer can strike at any age," Dr. Myles said. "It is important to discuss any warning signs with your health care provider." Common symptoms for colon cancer include: -- A change in bowel habits -- Diarrhea, constipation, or a feeling that your bowel is not completely empty -- Blood in the stool -- can be either bright red or very dark -- Stools that are narrower than usual -- Abdominal discomfort (frequent gas pains, bloating, fullness, or cramps) -- Unexplained weight loss -- Constant feeling of being tired -- Vomiting In response to surprising data from a 2000 Gallup poll of 1,000 women, the College of American Pathologists created a free health test reminder Web site. According to this national poll, 36 percent of all adult women did not have a Pap test in the prior 12 months. Yet the poll results indicated that women who receive a reminder to schedule a Pap test are more likely to report getting a Pap test within the past 12 months than women who do not receive a reminder (78 percent vs. 47 percent, respectively). Among those surveyed who said that they did not receive a reminder, 62 percent felt that they would be more likely to make an appointment if reminded. "It was surprising that a simple reminder had such a huge impact on the health of so many people," said Dr. Myles. "It became obvious that something had to be done to help busy patients remember to schedule their potentially life-saving tests." That "something" was a new reminder Web site. In less than one minute, a person can log onto www.MyHealthTestReminder.com , register and choose the health test reminder(s) they want to receive-mammogram, Pap test or colon cancer screening-and when they would like to receive the reminder(s). The site automatically will send a private e-mail reminder on the requested date. The College of American Pathologists is a medical society serving nearly 16,000 physician members and the laboratory community throughout the world. It is the world's largest association composed exclusively of pathologists and is widely recognized as the leader in laboratory quality assurance. The CAP is an advocate for high quality and cost-effective patient care. Take One Minute to Beat Cancer 1) Visit www.MyHealthTestReminder.com . 2) Choose which screening reminder(s) -- Pap test, mammogram or colon cancer screening -- you would like to receive and when you would like to receive it. 3) Log off the computer and get back to your busy life. 4) As soon as you receive your e-mail reminder, call your doctor and schedule your cancer screen.
