Some real estate judge is forcing Abraham, who has cancer of his lymph system, to re-enter chemotherapy against Abraham's will. Abraham researched which treatment he wanted and is choosing an alternate approach.

Our Neurology professor said it very well - something to the effect that physicians think patients in intense pain with fibromyalgia are faking it. Then our professor went on to say that if a person does not experience pain themselves, they will not believe it real.

Someone sent me over these questions and I thought it would be useful to post them here. Granted they are first draft responses but overall I believe many will find them useful.

Do feel free to post comments or questions in the comment area and Ill get back to you.

Why is detox necessary?
A detox is necessary as the body is bombarded daily by toxic exposures - from air, water, food, industry, manufacturing, drugs, stress and others. Processing toxic substances requires necessary nutrients, sleep, breathing and sweating. Without any one of these, detoxification is limited. When detoxification is limited, the body burden of chemicals

There is a difference - a big one.

Careful of certifications like this:

This certificate is received by those who do distant learning online for about 3 months and then they call themselves naturopaths. This angers me as they may seriously harm people - not to mention they seriously discredit those naturopathic physicians who graduate from accredited 4 year ND schools - of which there are only about 4 in the USA. There are also a couple in Canada - which I am not fully aware of their standards - but I know the former president of one of the schools and he is highly credible so likely those schools

The last four patients I have seen in the teaching clinic have proved to me how essential it is to get a dental history. Dental history meaning: mercury fillings, copper fillings, root canals, tooth abcesses, bleeding gums and so on.

One patient had 12 mercury amalgams, 5 root canals and complaints of polycystic ovarian syndrome, hypothyroidism, depression, severe weight gain, intense abdominal pain, IBS, rosacea to name a couple. She just came in for her first visit so no treatment yet. We referred her to a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy to rule out some dangerous conditions first. She is due to come in soon and we will begin our treatment plan. Ill let you know what we find.

Another was happy-go-lucky .com guy making his fortunes and then a mercury filling came out and he swallowed half of it while the rest he took out on his finger. He had numerous mercury amalgams and now is so ill he has not worked in the past year. He has been

This piece is written by Mark Morford - his sister just graduated top of her ND class at Bastyr University. Soon, in 11 months, I will be finally graduating from Bastyr as an ND as well - so what Mark writes below is an inspiration. Thank you, Mark.

Mark attended the graduation ceremony and from reading his column, I gather he was quite impressed. Enjoy the column:

My college graduation ceremony sent roughly 300 sunbaked, slightly baffled, exasperatingly verbose, Shakespeare-drunk UC Berkeley English grads out into the world without the slightest clue as to what the hell they were going to do with their lives.

Most, I

I have just viewed the amazing documentary, The Future of Food. It is a gut-wrencher.

We must join together in getting ALL foods labeled genetically-modified if they are such. We must hold accountable the severe diseases and illnesses created by Monsanto and other large corporations such as ConAgra. With labels on food packaging, these large selfish horrific corporations will be held accountable.

When you eat a bag of corn chips and get short of breath, do you think why? You cannot look at the label and find out. If we join together and get a bill passed requiring labelling of GM food packaging, then we win a large

Don't listen to me - the quack ND who prescribes goat foot stew and alfalfa bong hits for pain relief.

Listen to the dentist who began all of the fuss about mercury fillings and to The International Academy of Oral Medicine Toxicology.

The American Dental Association is not fond of Dr Huggins. Yet, I am. I met this guy at one of our recent conventions in Tacoma, Washington. Is he a quack? For some - yes. For the many 1000's he has improved health - he is not.
