Testimonial - A Cancer Miracle Hello Everyone - this is Rowan . . . As a therapist, I would like to share the remarkable story of an active, and previously very healthy, elderly client (in his 70’s and who wishes to remain anonymous) diagnosed with extensive and invasive Stage 4 prostate cancer, but who, with prompt nutritional and supplement intervention, is in total remission five months later. This case is really quite radical and has to give anyone with any sort of cancer some profound hope and trust that similar results could happen to them if they, too, would follow the general protocol adjusted to their personal needs and create a similar attitude toward living and dying. I believe the keys to any disease state are detoxification, strong nutritional support, and philosophical/spiritual clarity. BACKGROUND Over the summer and fall of 2005, EG had to “push” harder and harder to get things done that previously had been of absolutely no consequence. His wife noticed that his face aged years within only a few months becoming gaunt with sunken eyes. By Christmas, he could barely rouse the energy to make a very simple family holiday meal which he had wanted to do and he had precipitously lost an alarming 30 pounds of weight so that his pants hung on him. During the fall, vague pains he had been feeling for some months sort of “coagulated.” There was enough discomfort in his right upper leg/groin and upper back that he spent almost a week in November in his bathrobe getting others to deal with his chores; an utterly unknown action before this. He simply attributed all of this to “aging” and the fact that probably his arthritis was finally catching up to him. After some massage work failed to relieve his symptoms, the therapist wisely persuaded him to see a chiropractor and , also very wisely, strongly suggested he visit a naturopathic physician, especially since he was experiencing considerable nausea. EG saw the chiropractor twice during December but the adjustments not only would not hold, but hurt him terribly with the discomfort spreading throughout his ribcage, zeroing in on his sternum. It was this that drove him to finally make an appointment on January 18, 2006 with the naturopath who immediately did a complete blood panel. The results were devastating: PSA/2062.9 (normal is .1 to 4), SGOT/72, Alkaline Phosphatase/249, & C Reactive Protein/140 and although his Bilirubin/.5 indicated normal lymph action, his hemoglobin count was down to 8.9. indicating severe anemia The naturopath said it looked like metastasized prostate cancer and he set up an appointment with an oncologist for the following Friday, January 27. EG had not seen a medical doctor in well over 20 years. The oncologist suggested a PET scan before further discussion; it was accomplished on Wednesday, February 1. The results, which EG was told the following week, confirmed 4th stage primary prostate cancer with invasion of the urethra and lower bladder plus secondary bone tumors throughout the entire right pelvic region going into the femur and up the spine with emphasis on T2-4 and the sternum; right where he had the pain that sent him to the chiropractor in the first place. When EG suggested to the oncologist that he needed 6 months to get financial matters cleared up for his wife and family, the doctor replied he hoped to give him that with hormone therapy (monthly Lupron injections and daily Casodex/50 mg pills), the only apparently somewhat successful treatment at this stage, but that he certainly could not guarantee even that long considering the severity of the invasion. PROTOCOL EG had “eaten well” his entire life and had been on excellent supplementation for the last 40+ years with a move to DYNAMITE® in the mid-1990’s when he started with the daily basics (Elixir, Regular & TriMins) plus Hiscorbadyne, Zinc+, Free & Easy and Izmine. In 2004, he added in Carlson’s fish/cod liver oil. Upon the initial January diagnosis when he asked my opinion, we initiated testing supplements to arrive at the best personal protocol. I had just come across Natural Cellular Defense drops, a liquid zeolite form that was originally patented as a cancer drug. EG tested for 15 drops 4 times daily and started on them upon their arrival to his home the very next day. As for his daily DYNAMITE® regimen, he tested for Trace Minerals Concentrate/30drops 3x daily, Dynamite Regular/6 caps, TriMins/6 caps, Elixir/2oz, Hiscorbadyne/18 caps (he was unable to tolerate SOD at all), Zinc +/6 caps, Free & Easy/12 caps, Iron+2/6 tabs (although this was discontinued, we found some in stock), and Izmine/6 caps. In addition, Jim Zamzow suggested and supplied EG with a special blend of exotic mushrooms of which he took 2 daily plus increasing his Carlson's Cod Liver Oil to 6 daily and beginning 18 raw dessicated liver capsules (Carlson's) daily. With his lack of appetite and aggressive nausea, he tested positive only for raw free-range milk/cream and an increase of raw vegetable juice from 2 oz daily to 16 oz daily of a kale, beet, carrot, parsley, apple mix with a bit of fresh lemon juice and a raw range free egg yolk added. This combination was geared to help build his blood, support his immune system, and supply high levels of complex anti-oxidants. For solids, he tested for however many handfuls (his wife said he usually consumed 2-3 per day) of a home-made trail mix I created consisting of equal portions by volume of dried blueberries/cranberries/goji berries, walnuts/almonds/sunflower seeds/pumpkin seeds, raw shredded coconut & just some raw cocoa nibs (very high in antioxidants but bitter tasting). This, along with frequent bowls of nutritious pureed homemade soups and stews, was his sole diet until his appetite returned in a couple of months. RESULTS Within three weeks of beginning the new program, EG’s vertebral, sternal and groin pains lessened considerably to the point where he no longer groaned when urinating or hunched over when sitting or walking. The blood panel taken on February 23 indicated his PSA count was already down to just over 1500 and his hemoglobin was up to 9.3. Both definitely in the right direction. Subsequent blood tests continued to be incredibly encouraging: March PSA/52.88, hemo/9.2; April PSA/0.45, hemo/12.5, and May PSA/0.11, hemo/14. With normal ranges of PSA being 0.1-4.0 and adult male hemoglobin being 12-14, both counts, as of May, are well within ideal range. His oncologist told him he had never seen such a complete turn-around in all his 30 years of treating cancer and the office is considering EG in remission. His next appointment is not until July rather than every 2 weeks. EG is feeling better than he has in years and has gained back all the lost weight, joking that it's a good thing he didn’t go out and waste money on new pants. He is thrilled that he can continue to enjoy life and his loving family for an undetermined length of time saying we all have to go sometime but he’s glad of the extra time so he can finish all his considerable business and personal ventures and even start new ones. He has made the decision to continue taking the larger quantity of fresh vegetable juice daily although his NCD and TMC are down to only 10 drops each per day and his maintenance dose of most of his other supplements is down as well: Dynamite Regular/6 caps, TriMins/3 caps, Elixir/2oz, Hiscorbadyne/6 caps, Zinc+/4 caps, Free & Easy/6 caps, Iron+2/2 tabs (or until supply runs out), and Izmine/4 caps. Other supplements are finishing out his mushrooms, decreasing Cod Liver Oil to 3 daily but keeping to 18 raw dessicated liver capsules daily. Since the approach here was so multi-faceted and intense, it is hard for EG to specifically point to any one thing as being primary although he does feel the juice and both sets of drops (NCD and TMC) were most definitely paramount. In fact, he says he started to feel hints of returning energy within a week of starting those, but it still took a couple of months for him to feel more like his old self. Part of his lack of vocalization about feeling better, he thinks, was due somewhat to his fear of “jinxing” the good that was occurring! Of course he, and others, were also praying for whatever his soul needed (accepting if necessary his transition) plus he was doing breathing and energy-promoting exercises as well which I devised for him according to his ever-changing abilities. And of course all of this on a basically well -nourished and well-mineralized body thanks to those years of Dynamite supplements that his wife gave him! I would put EG's recovery down to not only the protocol, but also to his attitude of forging ahead while accepting fully the cancer and the possibility of total cure without ever going into a victim mode. He continued to live life to the fullest even when he was only able to read a bit in his bathrobe and continues living life to the fullest as he finds ever more goals to accomplish. Did You Know?... (from various sources)
Point to Ponder #1 - Lower Intensity Exercise Melts More Pounds A brisk walk through the park might be better than a fast run when it comes to shedding pounds, a new study suggests. The trick is to exercise for more than 40 minutes at a time. High impact or strenuous exercise or jogging for only 30 minutes simply depletes the body of blood glucose and causes a sense of fatigue and hunger. That increased appetite leads to more eating and weight gain. Only after 40 minutes of light exercise or walking, are enzymes released to turn body fat into additional fuel glucose. This means only after 40 minutes are you "burning fat." Just walking one hour daily each week will lead to a weight loss of about 3 to 5 pounds per week, regardless of your diet. Diets and pills are not the way to healthful weight loss. This used to occur in one-hour P.E. classes in schools, but with the classes dropped and kids now sitting playing video games or watching TV, they now become obese. Two separate 30 minute exercise sessions each day, with eating meals in between, will not produce weight loss. It is not just total calories burned each day, but only continuous light exercise longer than 40 minutes at a time which will release the natural fat-burning enzymes. Point to Ponder #2 - Hunter Wasting Disease Warning This is an email from our friend Sumner Sargent who researches Wasting Disease as his avocation - this is critical information for any deer or elk hunter or consumer. Hello Rowan - This should be of interest and serve as a warning to your readers who are deer hunters or who have friends who are. It has recently been discovered that wasting disease prions are active in muscle tissue. Among deer the vector is tongue to saliva to grazing land where pastures remain contaminated for many years. Prions are neither virus or bacteria. They are an errant protein that replicates itself when contacting normal prions. The disease progresses through the nervous system eventually rendering the brain into a sponge-like material. It manifests itself as scrappie in sheep, CWD in deer and BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis - “mad cow disease”) in cattle. In laboratory experiments, prions have jumped the species barrier in everything from ferrets to chimpanzees; there are no cures and the resultant diseases are always fatal. 1100 degrees Fahrenheit (the temperature of white hot steel) is required to destroy the prions. Dr. Stanley Prusiner, who received a Nobel prize for the discovery of prions, has announced that Alzheimer's and dementia are also prion related diseases. [http://www.neurologyreviews. com/dec99/nr_dec99_Prions.html] It is interesting to note that a 52 year old lab worker who analyzed wasting disease tissue at CSU, Fort Collins has died of a what was described not as Alzheimer's but as an Alzheimer's pathology. A recent case in of CJD (Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease - the human variant) has been reported at a local hospital where it is believed to have been passed to the patient by surgical instruments. The hospital is now looking for six more patients who had been exposed to the same surgical instruments. Since the prions that cause wasting disease have an affinity for steel, accepted veterinarian safety procedures include disposing of cutting instruments and protective eye covers when exposed to wasting disease infected tissue. Also required is that the lab floors and tables be blotted and the blotters burned to avoid contamination of the sewers water reclamation plants. Hunters field dressing deer and elk should be so advised. And since infected deer entrails are considered to be a Class II bio- hazardous waste, they should not be left on public or private lands to infect cattle or other grazing animals, but should be buried where they will not affect the watershed. Additionally, game processing plants expose customers to every deer or elk processed. I would estimate that processing a deer or elk by a local game processing plant would be as risky as having unprotected sex with a ghetto prostitute. The latest research demonstrates :
Please contact your local commissioners, the Board of Health, and the Larimer County Environmental Committee (if local) and request legislation requiring DOW to make available to hunters facilities to incinerate deer entrails and mandatory legislation requiring hunters to oblige.

For our take on TSE's (Transmissable Spongiform Encephalitis), please read my article entitled Mad Cow Disease and also check out http://www.markpurdey.com for a more environmental approach to the actual cause of Mad Cow, etc. Regardless of causation, the points above that Sumner makes are vital for the safety of all including our pets. Additionally, apparently TSE is now also found in numerous other species including pigs and their various pork products. Just another reason to buy animal products from strictly range-free sources such as www.crowleycheese-vermont.com (free-range raw milk cheddar cheese), www.eatwild.com (offers nation-wide sources for free-range beef, bison, poultry, mutton, lamb, etc.), www. grasslandbeef.com (offers not only range-fed beef but also poultry, pork, bison, variety meats, dairy, bones and even honey), www.organicpastures.com (free-range raw dairy including butter, cream, & colostrum) Point to Ponder #3 - Good news on the Codex but more work ahead! Natural Solutions Foundation www.healthfreedomusa.org Health advocates gained a huge advantage this week at the Codex Committee on Food Labeling (CCFL) when the mandated implementation pro-health, pro-nutrition World Health Organization (WHO) Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health (GS) was put in place. This pro-health, pro-nutrition stance is unprecedented within Codex. Next, CCFL's recommendations will be presented to the Codex Commission (Geneva, Switzerland, July 3-7, 2006). Since WHO mandated Codex implement the GS, the principles laid down this week are immensely important because they set the stage for health forces to have an impact they have not been able to exert before. Click here to read how it happened (http://prweb. com/releases/2006/5/prweb381188.htm). Because of the courageous South African delegate, Ms. Antoinette Booyzen, a group of pro-health principles will become part of Codex. Of course, this powerful advance was opposed by the US which declared its opposition to optimal health and its endorsement of advertising junk food to children! It was not a proud moment. Will the other side just lie down and go away? Of course not. There's too much at stake. But now is the time for us to marshal our forces, lay our strategy and get our ducks in a row. Click here (http://blog.healthfreedomusa.org/ ) for important steps you can take now to help get us ready for the next phase of this battle. This wonderful sea change could be the beginning of a new era in health freedom if we play our cards right. Thank you, South Africa! Yours in health and freedom, Rima E. Laibow, MD Medical Director PS: If you would like to read the WHO Global Strategy, click here http://www.who.int/dietphysicalactivity/en/ ) Point to Ponder #4 - Bananas Build a Youthful Stomach Victoria at Chet Day Dayzines www.chetday.com Experts say that bananas and plantains strengthen the surface cells of the stomach lining, forming a sturdier barrier against noxious juices. Rats fed banana powder had a visibly thicker stomach lining. Other rats were fed aspirin and other chemicals to see what happened to the barrier in the stomach. The lining decreased with aspirin (no surprise!) and even was thinner with Tagamet. In the rats that were fed both banana powder and aspirin, the banana counteracted the drug's erosive effects and the lining was still increased by almost 20%. Bananas are also great for helping to lower cholesterol because of their high pectin content. One medium banana has as much pectin as a medium size apple. Unripe, green plantains are super potent against ulcers. The bigger the better as they contain more of the active chemical that protects the stomach. Eat unripe green plantains boiled or baked and if you do fry them, use organic, unrefined coconut oil as it does not break down in high heat. Oils that break down in high heat are toxic in the body and cause free radical damage. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that can tear into your cells and start nasty chain reactions that can leave behind extensive damage, including alteration of your genetic code (DNA) and formation of cancer cells. That is one reason why you need to stay away from fried foods if you are serious about fighting the aging process. Meetings - open to any and all DYNAMITE Distributors and guests!

Creamy, Dreamy Potato Salad Marinated Asparagus Spears & Mushroom Halves Fresh Jalapeno Peppers & Cherry Tomatoes Purchased Broasted Chicken Prize-winning Cheesecake Fresh Fruit of Choice Creamy, Dreamy Potato Salad (John named this by calling my "creamy" salad "dreamy"!.... and no, his cholesterol level is terrific!) While 3# new red potatoes are steaming, stir together in large bowl, 1/2 cup @ home-made/purchased mayonnaise, sour cream, and vinaigrette of choice (I frequently use Newmans' Balsamic), and 1 cup chopped green onion. When potatoes are steamed and cool enough to handle, cube them unpeeled and toss with dressing while still warm. Cover and refrigerate at least a few hours or overnight. Marinated Asparagus Spears & Mushroom Halves Once potatoes are removed from steamer, add a bunch of fresh asparagus spears with bottoms broken off (breaking them allows the spear to indicate its own line between tender and tough parts), and one pint of cleaned mushrooms cut in half, cover and steam a few minutes just until asparagus is barely fork tender - time will depend on spear diameter. Remove vegetables from steamer and place immediately in shallow container; pour vinaigrette of choice over all to cover, cover and refrigerate. Fresh Jalapeno Peppers & Cherry Tomatoes John just eats these right out of the bag, but if you would prefer, quarter up a variety of ripe red/yellow/orange/purple bell peppers and cherry tomatoes. Purchased Broasted Chicken Yes, we "cheat" on this but the Whole Foods cooked chickens are sooooo good and absolutely no fuss, muss or hassle! Substitute chicken or cold cuts or deviled eggs if you would prefer. Prize-winning Baked Cheesecake I originally developed this recipe decades ago when I was cooking for a lady who loved entertaining. It always seemed to be so very popular, I entered it in a Prevention magazine contest and won! Back then I made my own crust and you certainly can do so if you wish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread some (perhaps 3T) strawberry preserves in the bottom of 2– 9” prepared graham cracker crusts and set aside. Beat together 2— 8 oz packages room temperature cream cheese, 1 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp almond extract until smooth and a bit fluffy. Stir in 1/3 cup Rapadura (or 3/4 tsp white powder stevia). Then beat in 3 eggs, one at a time until blended..Pour/spoon mixture into crusts taking care to distribute it evenly. Bake in 350º preheated oven for 25 minutes; remove cheesecakes but leave oven on. TOPPING: whisk together 2 cups sour cream, 1/3 cup Rapadura (or 3/4 tsp white powder stevia) and 1 tsp vanilla until blended. Distribute the topping mixture evenly over the two cooled cheesecakes. Bake at 350º degree an additional 10 minutes. Cool completely, cover and refrigerate until serving. VARIATIONS: Use any preserve of choice rather than strawberry; top with cherries or other fresh or frozen/thawed fruit; use 3T citrus (lemon, lime or orange) juice in filling & 1/2—1 tsp zest; for “eggnog” cheesecake, add 3T rum & 1/2 tsp nutmeg to batter; use 1—3T any liqueur of choice such as Amaretto, Bailey’s Cream, Kahlua, etc.; add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (or 1/2 cup grated bittersweet chocolate) to batter before baking; In lieu of sour cream topping, top chocolate cheesecake with raspberry preserve glaze by melting 1 cup preserves in small pan; or go double chocolate with a chocolate glaze: heat together, stirring constantly, 1/2 cup grated bittersweet chocolate and 1/4 cup heavy cream until mixture is smooth and slightly thickened; pour over cheesecake and let cool for 30 minutes before refrigerating Fresh Fruit of Choice take advantage of the great fresh fruit now available in your area! John's favorite is cherries but he also really enjoys red or green grapes and mini-watermelons - go with what you like and with what is available but do take care to eat fruit about 1-1.5 hrs after your meal to foster appropriate, and gas-less, digestion. A Chuckle - from The Good Clean Funnies List- www.gcfl.com Old Abraham was a poor tailor whose shop was next door to a very upscale French restaurant. Every day at lunch time, Abraham would go out the back of his shop and eat his black bread and herring while smelling the wonderful odors coming from the restaurant's kitchen. One day, Abraham was surprised to receive an invoice from the restaurant for "enjoyment of food." So he went to the restaurant to point out that he had not bought anything from them. The manager said, "You're enjoying our food, so you should pay us for it." Abraham refused to pay and the restaurant sued him. At the hearing, the judge asked the restaurant manager to present his side of the case. The manager said, "Every day, this man comes and sits outside our kitchen and smells our food while eating his. It is clear that we are providing added value to his poor food and we deserve to be compensated for it." The judge turned to Abraham and said, "What do you have to say to that?" Abraham didn't say anything but stuck his hand in his pocket and rattled the few coins he had inside. The judge asked him, "What is the meaning of that?" Abraham replied, "I'm paying for the smell of his food with the sound of my money."
