ENFORCING CHEMOTHERAPY
By: Paula Rothstein
Following today's health freedom news story of Daniel Hauser and his mother's run from the law to avoid gunpoint medicine makes me feel as though magically transported to a place known as Bizarro World where a new moral code has been established that makes one view everything upside down. It is one thing to have pharmaceutical drug companies bent on making billions no matter who they harm along the way wish to force a sale upon us but it is quite another to have a population at large buying what they are selling in bulk, no questions asked, along with a supportive and tyrannical government.
When did we become so preoccupied with the health choices of an individual family? Imagine 100 years ago the government beating on the door of a family and threatening the arrest of a mother for not taking a doctor's advice with respect to the health of her child? Perhaps my libertarian views are so far out of step with mainstream that I cannot even begin to comprehend the preoccupation our government and its citizens have with an individual's private health choice. I have fought for one's right to decide whether or not to vaccinate and I will fight for one's right to make all health decisions short of a parent's right to pray over a child and hope he or she survives through divine intervention. But to dispute the validity and effectiveness of alternative and natural treatments of disease is one borne of ignorance and manipulation, most likely by the drug cartel running the cancer industry.
It is an undisputable fact that chemotherapy if given long enough will kill the individual. A positive outcome is one where the cancer is killed off by the poison before the cancer patient. There are numerous alternative therapies that offer a higher rate of survival and greater degree of safety than chemotherapy, however, no drug company would profit from these therapies because they are natural and therefore cannot be patented. If Mrs. Hauser would be "allowed" by our government to make use of these therapies she would have every reason to be optimistic. I believe she is trying to exercise her right to pursue these choices. This story is not about a family choosing no treatment for their child but rather the safest, most effective treatment. But can she make one of those choices? Apparently she cannot and this should frighten every parent in this country that once boasted it was the "land of the free, home of the brave". Mrs. Hauser is brave as is Daniel. My well wishes go out to the both of them. Unfortunately, today freedom is but a tattered dream feebly twisting in the dry winds of a country that has lost its way.

It is my humble opinion that one of the greatest authorities on alternative health today is Dr. Joseph Mercola of Mercola.com. So when he takes the time to set out his 12 step strategy for eliminating and/or reducing your cancer risk, I believe it is worth noting.
MY CANCER-BUSTING DOZEN APPROACH
By: Dr. Joseph Mercola, MD
I believe you can VIRTUALLY ELIMINATE your cancer risk and radically improve your risk of recovering from cancer if you currently have it. All you need to do is follow these relatively simple risk reduction strategies. You won’t read or hear much about them because they have not been formally "proven" yet by conservative researchers. However, most people do not know that 85 percent of therapies currently recommended by conventional medicine have never been formally proven either.
So here are the Twelve Strategies
1. Reduce your processed food, sugar and grain carbohydrate intake. Yes, this is even true for whole unprocessed organic grains as they tend to rapidly break down and drive your insulin and leptin levels up, which is the last thing you need to have happening if you are seeking to resolve a cancer.
2. Control your fasting insulin and leptin levels: This is the end result, and can be easily monitored with the use of simple and relatively inexpensive blood tests.
3. Normalize your ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats by taking a high-quality krill oil or fish oil and reducing your intake of most processed vegetable oils.
4. Get regular exercise. One of the primary reasons exercise works is that it drives your insulin levels down. Controlling insulin levels is one of the most powerful ways to reduce your cancer risks.
5. Normalize your vitamin D levels and vitamin A levels by getting plenty of sunlight exposure and consider careful supplementation when this is not possible. If you take oral vitamin D and have a cancer it would be very prudent to monitor your vitamin D blood levels regularly.
6. Get a good night's sleep.
7. Eat according to your nutritional type. The potent anti-cancer effects of this principle are very much underappreciated. When we treat cancer patients in our clinic this is one of the most powerful anti-cancer strategies we have.
8. Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, household chemical cleaners, synthetic air fresheners and air pollution.
9. Limit your exposure and provide protection for yourself from information carrying radio waves produced by cell phone towers, base stations, phones and WiFi stations.
10. Avoid frying or charbroiling your food. Boil, poach or steam your foods instead.
11. Have a tool to permanently reprogram, such as the neurological short-circuiting that can activate cancer genes. Even the CDC states that 85 percent of disease is caused by emotions. It is likely that this factor may be more important than all the other physical ones listed here, so make sure this is addressed. Energy psychology seems to be one of the best approaches and my particular favorite tool, as you may know, is the Emotional Freedom Technique. German New Medicine is another powerful tool.
12. Use broccoli sprouts as an adjunct to everything above unless you simply do not like broccoli.
