Who Decides on what Treatment a Child gets for Cancer

12/11/2011

I am happy to announce that I WILL NOT be arrested. I was running scared there for a while. As a member of the Nemenhah Native American Tribe, I was somewhat involved in the Danny Hauser case. If you haven’t been reading the papers in the last week, he is a 13 year old boy, diagnosed with cancer, who told his mother after one chemotherapy session that he would not have another. There was a court hearing to decide if he could be forced into chemotherapy, and Danny told the judge that if they insisted on giving him more chemo, he would kick and bite anyone who tried to force him to have it.

I got involved because the family, fellow-Nememhahs who embrace the concept of using the natural world as healer, was seeking a board-certified oncologist who would treat Danny without chemo – in hopes that this would satisfy the judge. Through various contacts, I was able to find such a doc. But, of course, these physicians must operate somewhat underground because NOT giving chemo to a cancer patient is a deviation from standard medical protocol – and any physician who engages in such behavior risks losing his license.

Danny and his mother fled – presumably leaving the country. Interpol was looking for them as fugitives. I was concerned that the Feds might confiscate various computers, and find an email trail from me. Thus, my fear of arrest.

I thought it would be interesting to look up other cases of state interference of perfectly sound ideas about health – and I found a doozey that I hadn’t known about previously.

Linus Pauling – a household name. He argued in the 50′s that radioactive fall-out was dangerous. The government disagreed, and released propaganda films of American children playing in fresh radioactive ash, proclaiming it to be “safe as snow.” Pauling joined with Einstein and five other notable scientists to form the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists. Their mission was to inform the public about the dangerous consequences that nuclear weapon and nuclear testing held for civilization. In 1958, Pauling submitted a petition that had been signed by over 9000 scientists to the Secretary General of the United Nations; it was a plea for a ban on future nuclear testing. Pauling traveled the country, giving hundreds of lectures.

Pauling was labeled a Communist sympathizer. He was denied a passport, thus preventing him from attending international scientific conferences. He was subpoenaed twice to appear before congressional committees investigating anti-American activities. In 1960, he was threatened to be held in contempt of Congress because he refused to reveal names of those who had helped to circulate his petition to ban nuclear testing. Despite unrelenting governmental oppression, Pauling continued his crusade, and wrote letters to both Kennedy and Khrushchev. Eventually the two superpowers agreed on a limited test ban treaty. It went into effect October 10th, 1963 – the very same day that Pauling received his second Nobel Prize.

The evidence that exposure to high-level radiation affects us malignantly in various ways is now incontrovertible. When we eat food that has been exposed to irradiation, we can expect to see neurological changes – degradation of the myelin in our bodies. Also, after nuclear bomb testing, we see an upsurge in the rate of suicides. One scientist’s theory suggests that the cause of the aberrant behavior has to do with the profound changes that water goes through from nuclear testing. Wh en the explosion occurs, waves are formed which die quickly in the ground. But water continues to fluctuate for another 30 days. Swinging like a pendulum, these waves create a new and pathological ordering in the water. This change in the structure of the water covers an area many miles away from the testing grounds. And it makes no difference whether the test has been conducted in the atmosphere, on the ground, or underground. Because the brain is 85% water, malignant changes in the brain can occur; the bioplasma of the brain is disrupted. Suicide may well be the consequence of these pathological changes.

The controversy over nuclear tests and nuclear weapons is one that is dear to my heart, as my recent forays in holistic healing have led me into the unlikely territory of the therapeutic use of low-level radiation. Pauling and Einstein, like most everyone else in this country, were probably not familiar with this healing technology. But, we Americans comprise an uninformed minority. Much of the rest of the world understands the basic scientific principle of hormesis – sometimes called “the reversal effect” – which states that low-level exposure and high-level exposure have opposite effects. High concentrations are detrimental, even lethal; medium concentrations suppress or inhibit; low concentrations have a stimulatory, beneficial effect. This hormetic effect pertains to chemical, biologic or radiologic agents. The phenomenon has been reported in biomedical literature since the 1880′s, and forms the basis for all immunology, vaccines and homeopathic treatment. Specifically in terms of radiologic exposure, Japan, who was home to two nuclear blasts, for obvious reasons became seriously interested in the effects of radiation. Currently, there are six spas in Tokyo alone that give deliberate exposure to its patrons for low-level radiation – with many double-blind studies documenting the therapeutic efficacy of the exposure. In many countries, including Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Russia, state insurance pays for people to go to spas that implement low-level radiation therapies. As in Japan, these countries have documented the effect through controlled, double-blind studies.

The biomedical research, as well as the compelling story of how a former helicopter mechanic, Jay Gutierrez, re-discovered this technology is told in my recent book, Because People Are Dying. Over the 15 years that Jay has been working with low-level radioactive stones, with more than 3000 patients, he has had fairly phenomenal success with cancer, as well as many other diseases. Using Jay’s stones, mined in Utah and Wyoming, La Casa Day Spa makes low-level radiation therapy available in two separate treatments.

Get into the La Casa last-minute-booking-habit: each morning, we announce on our facebook the available appointments for the day – and if you book same-day-of and mention the facebook discount, you will get a 10% discount off any service.

Watch Jane Goldberg’s latest TV show:

Jane’s latest MNN TV episode is on The Death of Mothers: Grief and Gratitude. Watch women (and one man) discuss how they have incorporated their dead mothers – the good and the bad, the sublime and the profane.

Reality TV Group Psychotherapy:

Also, stay tuned for Jane’s Reality TV show, called Therapeutics – live group psychotherapy – same time slot for MNN, and then posted on youtube forever more. Promises to be exciting, educative, illuminating and profoundly moving, as the various group participants struggle through their respective issues of unemployment, history of childhood sexual abuse, conflicts about relationships – the whole gamut of psychological issues that confront us. Un-edited – presented as it happens.

La Casa continues to get near-miraculous results with our pulsed magnetic therapy:

This technology addresses our fundamental nature which is that we are bio-electric at the level of our cells. Medicine treats with chemistry but in order for the chemistry to work our cells need to carry a full charge or voltage. Like batteries, when our cells are deficient in their electrical charge they can’t function properly and all manner of ailments and degenerative conditions result. La Casa’s pulsed magnetic machine transmits this energy into our bodies on the cellular level.

Our latest great success story is with my neighbor, Bob B., who has been in a wheelchair with MS for 3 years. Before his pulsed magnetic therapy, he was unable to move his left leg at all, and his right leg only minimally. After his first treatment, he was rotating his left leg from the hip joint, and making circles with his right leg. His physical therapist was amazed. He is so encouraged by the 10 treatments he has now had, he is renting the machine for daily home use.

Go to La Casa’s website and read the many testimonials. Also, view the videos.www.lacasaspa.com

The cheapest at-home-cure for everything:

Bentonite clay carries a uniquely strong negative ionic charge which causes it to `magnetically` attract any substance with a positive ionic charge (i.e., bacteria, toxins, metals, etc.). These substances are both adsorbed (sticking to the outside like Velcro) and absorbed (drawn inside) by the clay molecules. Your body doesn’t digest clay, so the clay passes through your system, collecting the toxins, and removing them as the clay is eliminated. It’s like a little internal vacuum cleaner.
Take two ounces of liquefied clay twice a day made with 1 part dry powder calcium Bentonite clay to 8 parts water for 14 days. After that, you can scale back to one ounce a day.

Clay baths, taken twice a week, are also helpful. Clay baths help keep your body cleansed by pulling toxins through the pores. To prepare a clay bath, scatter about 2 cups of Bentonite clay powder into the bath water as it’s running, and use your hands to swish away any lumps that might form. A clay bath should last ideally between 15-20 minutes. Submerge as much of your body as possible during the bath. The more clay that is used in the therapy, the more powerful the response.

Floating is more than fun:

Recent research in Birmingham University has shown that Magnesium and Sulfate pass through the skin and raise the levels detected in the blood. This can have important benefits to health because both Magnesium and Sulfate deficiencies are common. Magnesium is essential to life and deficiency is linked to many diseases including cardiovascular disease.

Sulfate is also essential to life in several ways. Sulfate is essential for the formation of proteins in joints, also for digestive enzymes and the gut wall lining. Furthermore sulfate is essential to the formation of brain tissue and is also involved in detoxification. Sulfate is not easily absorbed from the diet.

The research concludes that bathing in magnesium sulfate is therefore a significant, safe and easy way to correct deficiency.

Aside from all of the other profound benefits of floating (visit our website for scientific research), each time you float in La Casa’s float chamber, you expose your body to 800 pounds of magnesium sulfate.

The absolutely free-no-cost-whatsoever prevention of cancer:

Researchers have reported in the Annals of Epidemiology a new theory on a causative factor in the development of cancer. A host of research now suggests that cancer develops when cells lose the ability to stick together in a healthy, normal way — and the key factor to this initial triggering of a malignancy may well be a lack of vitamin D. With sufficient vitamin D present, cells adhere to one another in tissue and act as normal, mature epithelial cells. But if there is a deficiency of vitamin D, cells can lose this stick-to-each other quality, as well as their identity as differentiated cells. The result? They can revert to a dangerous stem cell-like state and become cancerous.

According to Cedric Garland, professor at the UC San Diego School of Medicine, the process that starts cancer in the first place could be stopped at the outset by maintaining enough vitamin D in the body. “Vitamin D may halt the first stage of the cancer process by re-establishing intercellular junctions in malignancies having an intact vitamin D receptor,”

In 2008, Dr. Garland and his colleagues found an association between a lack of sunlight exposure, low vitamin D and breast cancer. In earlier work, they showed linkages between increased levels of vitamin D3 or markers of vitamin D and a lower risk for breast, colon, ovarian and kidney cancers, as well.

Clues about a possible cause-and-effect association between a lack of vitamin D and cancer’s development have rapidly accumulated over the past few years. For example, researchers have found that women who are deficient in vitamin D at the time they are diagnosed with breast cancer are nearly 75 percent more likely to die from the disease than women with sufficient vitamin D levels. Moreover, their cancer is twice as likely to metastasize to other parts of the body.

Healthy levels of vitamin D have been found to slash the risk of numerous cancers by 77 percent.

Last year, I became acquainted with Mary McGuire-Wien, who has become well-known for transforming people’s physical and mental wellness through principles that La Casa also espouses. You may have heard her name, as she has been written about in the New York Times, as well as other places.

Anyway, I knew she was launching her widely anticipated new book, The 7 Day Total Cleanse, and I was able to get my private list in on one of those “too good to be true” offers, that happens to be really true in this case. Here is the offer:

Buy her book for only $16, experience the health transformation of her famous “7 Day Total Cleanse” — and get over $500 worth of free stuff from her huge network of friends and supporters in the health and wellness field!

Why are people (including La Casa Day Spa) willing to give away or discount their products and services to help promote Mary’s book? First of all, we’re friends of Mary’s, and sincerely wish for her book to be a blockbuster (she’s a wonderful person, among other things). Most of us have benefited personally from her programs, and are ardent believers. Those of us who have not personally done her cleanse know people who have, and are impressed with the results.

Secondly, we friends of Mary’s, and contributors to her book launch, hope that you will get interested in our own products and services. We consider that we are giving you a mini-introduction to us. Perhaps you will like our products and services sufficiently to order something else from us (and pay us) in the future. But whether you do or not, the goodies are yours to keep for free – even if you return Mary’s book and want your $16 back.

La Casa’s discounted offer is called the Body/Feet Treat

and if you buy Mary’s book, you will save $80 on the package.

The package consists of:

Salt Sauna

Whole body massage (including intensive foot massage)

Pedi-detox therapy.

Why do we pay such close attention to the feet? Because a large quantity of toxins are stored in the feet. With over 4000 pores in the feet, they are an ideal place from which to both release toxins and to absorb nutrients. In La Casa’s Pedi-Detox therapy, the whole body, through the feet, is both detoxified and nourished.

Click below to read about Mary’s book, as well as the other freebies that are associated with purchase of the book. This is a limited-time offer, so don’t let it pass you by!
