Wendy Stenberg-Tendys asked:
sic supplies for a healthy life are lacking in the far northern tropical islands of the Vanuatu archipelago, deep in the blue of the South Pacific.
The herbal remedies from their plentiful surrounds have sustained these people for many centuries. The healing faith of the community medicine man has supported the community. Whilst the power of black magic has been blamed for many illnesses.
On Motolava Island a volunteer with basic first aid knowledge has arrived at last. A doctor, provided via a charitable organization, has replaced her on a nearby island.
The empty shelves of the shack that acts as the local clinic is the first thing that strikes her as she steps through the doorway. There are no dressings, no bandages, no disinfectant, no ointments – just a few headache tablets.
The village children play, smiling and laughing together. An open wound, incurred on a stake in the bush, festers on the leg of an 8 year old boy. A girl, one among many no older than 6, suffers from scabies. A 10 year old walks with a limp across the bare earth – a walk that he has had since birth. Racking coughs emanate from babies being cuddled and cajoled by anxious mothers. Where does the vollenteer start?
Her initial tour of the village finds her peering into the huts built directly on the hard-packed soil. She sees a child curled on hand-woven mats whimpering with the fever of malaria. The recent accentuated ’wet’ season from December to April has seen the mosquitoes breed fervently. In this region malaria is common place.
“The biggest killer of children throughout Melanesia is malaria”, stated Professor Sir Richard Feachem, the chair of AusAID’s malaria reference group. In his eyes though there are high hopes for Vanuatu where recently 5000 children were blood tested for contact with malaria, and only 3% were identified with the disease. Additional plans, projects and money are to be provided to make the region disease-free by 2015.
But how quickly will these remote, northern islands see the benefits? How many more small children will carry the disease for life?
These islanders are unable to buy the latest in medicines, to purchase chemically treated mosquito nets, and to access staff trained in supporting communities. A ‘no-cash economy’ provides no purchase power.
The local Secretary for Motolava, Harris Apos, suggests that he contact one group that can help. Using the village’s only solar powered phone, he calls the capital, Port Vila, and the YouMe Support Foundation.
Since 2004, the YouMe Support Foundation, a Child Trust Fund, has been assisting these islands. Children leading a healthy life will be better able to access education. The Trust is dedicated to giving children a chance at high school education.
In response to Harris’ urgent request, the YouMe Support Foundation gathered together 30kgs of basic medical supplies. Air freight was organised – ships can take weeks to get to these islands. But like many good plans in Vanuatu, the boxes sit packed, taped and addressed under the office windows.
These outer northern islands suffer from random communications and transportation. Perhaps the flight did not go as there was a priority elsewhere, or perhaps there was a lack of paying passengers.
While she waits, the volunteer begins work with the villagers. Prevention of illnesses will be one of her target areas as ehe begins to educate the people. The children need to be able to read and write. The children, once taught the ideas of “good health”, will take their new found knowledge and skills into their homes and communities for all to share. To a very basic primary education, can be added a health program.
In late 2007 the government acknowledged that it was unable to fund education and resources in these regions. Education is at a premium across the northern, isolated islands of Vanuatu.
All over Vanuatu children miss out on education. With meagre or no incomes, and with no free education system, education remains beyond their realm.
The sad consequences of this are:
only 55.8% of Vanuatu kids will get to grade 6
of these only 18.2% will go on to gain a high school education
26% will never go to school at all.
Rick and Wendy Tendys, the founders of YouMe Support Foundation, are raffling Seachange Lodge (a private holiday home, plus 6 luxury holiday apartments) on the Internet, to raise funds for non-repayable high school education grants for the children of the outer islands of Vanuatu. This is a World First that will change someone’s life, as well as the lives of these children.
Vanuatu is only three hours flight from Sydney, Australia.

Zahari Ibrahim asked:
medication or healing procedure that does not, strictly speaking, fall under the category of conventional medicine is normally referred to as alternative medicine, or alternative therapy. Alternative therapy varies from conventional therapies not only in origin, but also in practice. This form of therapy possibly based on spiritual beliefs and folk traditions. Mainstream medical practitioners are still hesitant to recognize alternative health therapies merely because most of these techniques are yet to be methodically tested in order to assurance their safety and efficiency. Due to the lack of evidence regarding the effectiveness of alternative therapy, several physicians rather to call it non-evidence based medicine; or some decline to recognize these alternative forms of medicine or therapy, as medical therapies at all. Medical professionals may take up this form of therapy only if their safety and effectiveness is scientifically proven.

Medical professionals may take up this form of therapy only if their safety and effectiveness is scientifically proven.
Tai chi for example, is a martial art, regularly resorted to as a form of alternative therapy in order to reduce high stress levels. Other forms of alternative therapy include reflexology, yoga, aromatherapy, naturopathy, Unani, Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, Homoeopathy and acupuncture, among a wide range of other treatments. Magnetic therapy is also a form of alternative therapy that uses static magnetic fields. A lot of medical practitioners are of the opinion that exposing certain parts of the body to such static magnetic fields helps in the improvement o adverse medical conditions. It is significant to remember that the magnets used during magnetic therapy are of right magnitude in order to ensure that the do not affect the blood circulation in any way.
It is difficult to test the efficiency of the magnetic therapy simply because the magnetisms of an object can only be tested against iron. Consequently it is hard to explicitly describe the exact method in which the static magnetic field believed to be present, acts upon the area to be healed. The concept of magnetic therapy dates back to several centuries earlier. It is believed that Cleopatra wore magnetic jewelry because of its healing energies. This type of therapy has rapidly gained popularity in the last decade or so, and now it has become a thriving 100-dollar industry. Alternative therapists presently use magnets of standardized size and strength. One of the most commonly used magnetic therapy products is the magnetic mattress pad, which is generally used to treat ailments like insomnia, joint pain, muscle spasm, etc.
It isn’t easy to trust alternative therapy because of the absence of a reassuring scientific base. Though, because of the growing popularity of methods like yoga, meditation, tai chi, etc., it can be assumed that such alternative methods of healing are greatly effective. Most of these alternative therapies are used in conjunction with conventional medication, and are often referred to as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Alternative therapy, mainly like magnetic therapy is naturally used to treat chronic ailments. While therapies like yoga, magnetic therapy and aromatherapy are considerably safe as they do not involve intake of medicine or any other substance, alternative forms of medicine like Ayurveda and Chinese medicine should preferably be taken along with mainstream medication only after consulting a qualified physician, in order to avoid possible side effects.

Ryan C. Nagy, M.A. asked:
Several months ago, I asked several hundred alternative health practitioners to tell me their most important questions about internet marketing. Two major questions emerged:
1. What exactly is internet marketing and how can it help me?
2. What’s the best way to target people on the internet so that they attend my classes, come in for sessions, and buy my products?
Alternative health practitioners such as Rolfers, Massage Therapists, Hypnotherapists, Accupuncturists, Feldenkrais Practitioners and the like, have business needs that are similar to the needs of other business. They need more clients and steady income. Most are passionate about their work, interested in growing their practices and creating a sustainable business.
However, unlike many traditional businesses, alternative health practitioners are often practicing a modality that people have not heard of, or do not fully understand. Alternaitve health practitioners need to introduce people not only to a new method but to a new way of thinking, being and acting in the world.
Internet Marketing, in many ways, can be like the various alternative modalities themselves: What internet marketing “is” depends on what you want, what you need and what you are willing to do to get it. The first step is to get an idea of what the possibilities are.
Filling your workshops and building a practice
For one of my business partners the internet provides a way to keep his classes and workshops full. He has a large “permission based” email list to which he mails every 4-6 weeks. In every email he gives away a no-cost bonus, such as worksheet or handout that can be put to immediate use by the people on his list. He will often write about useful research findings related to his field. The end-result? People look forward to reading his emails and his seminars and workshops fill-up months in advance. Can you imagine using the same process to fill your practice?
The key here is relationship. Be helpful and aware of your potential clients’ needs and help them whenever you can. They will reward you by trusting you and giving you their business.
Passive Income
Some alternative health practitioners reach a point in their careers where they realize that they want to work less but keep their current income and lifestyle. Is this you? Perhaps you need some time to write a book or want to take a sabbatical and travel the world?
The problem is that you are in the business of trading your time and skill for money. If you do not work, you do not get paid. It would be useful to ask yourself a new question: “How can I keep making income and sustain my business, without having to work everyday?” This is where the idea of “passive income” comes in.
What is passive income? Passive income is money that comes to you automatically every month, regardless of where you are or what you are doing. Downloadable audio, video and ebooks are a few examples of passive income opportunities. You could sell training and educational materials to your clients and have the system set-up so that the sales, delivery and support is done automatically in the background. In other words, when someone buys a product from you, you don’t have to burn a CD, address an envelope, go to the post office or even process a credit card number. The whole process is automated on the internet.
Does Internet marketing sounds complicated or expensive to you?
It can be complicated and it can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. Several years ago you would have needed a web programmer, graphic designer, recording studio and more. Now, all that you need is the right strategy and the ability to use a web browser and email.
For instance, blogs and basic websites can be created for no-cost and don’t require any programming skills. There are ecommerce systems that can be set-up in less than 5 minutes and allow you to upload and sell products online for $5.00 per month. You can collect credit card payments without needing a merchant account. Email collection forms are pre-programmed in many web-based customer contact services (called auto-responders). And if you still feel that you want a website designer or some other help, you can hire one in India for $5 – $10 per hour. Several independent companies will let you post your projects and have people bid on them.
Interested?
Take a deep breath, relax, and begin exploring. Use google to find the web-based businesses of people in your field. See what they are doing. When you are ready, consider joining marketing email lists or forums that interest you. Some marketing email lists will send you a useful message every month and give you no-cost resources for learning how to make money online. And if you don’t like the information, you can always cancel and join another. Remember: You are in control.

Martin Cooney asked:
The road taken was due to my wife’s repeated operations for skin cancers that made me look outside to alternatives therapies. Vicki had radium treatment in her teens and has been having bits cut out of her for the last few decades. The last round about 6 months ago was particularly traumatic for her. It was the first time in my 47 years that I even thought about so called alternative medicine.
I did quite a lot of due diligence on quite a few products and all of them seem use the network marketing model – once I got past the stigma of Amway, I was OK.
Anyway, I had a chance meeting with a wonderful woman at a Law of Attraction meeting and another of my long time friends vouched for her long history of ill-health. Her story is a very long one which started as she grow up on a famr exposed to DDT and a host of other toxic substances.
At that point, I was looking at a number of alternate products for my wife and they were all significantly expensive. Anyway, I did more due diligence on Natural Cellular Defense, spoke personally to many other local people who were using it and getting wonderful results in many differing areas. That was enough for me to lay money on the line and get it for my wife.
The next ****** skin cancers she was scheduled to have operated on vanished and she also had some irritating lumps on the top of her head which have been there for a few years. These ‘lumps’ she was sure were skin cancers in the making – and she’s had decades of them so she knows her skin cancers. Well, after about 2 months on NCD, these ‘lumps’ grew more irritated and the next week they had gone .. dropped off!!
I didn’t think there was much wrong with me either. I started taking the product anyway. After about 4-6 weeks I realised I no longer had the brain fog that I know realised I had. I experienced a much shorten period of muscle soreness when I started another session of weight training and I had increased energy levels.
My elderly mother-in-law ordered NCD for her own skin cancers, one was particularly large. She could only afford the 1 x 4 bottle pack. In that time, the skin cancers reduced to a quarter of their size.
I also know a local woman who has a 20 year old autistic daughter that hadn’t spoken at all in that time. After a short time on NCD, the daughter has started speaking. I personally know of many other local people with successes in other ailments.
NCD doesn’t ‘cure’ any disease. What it does do is to passively detox heavy metals and toxins from the body, put the body into an alkaline pH state, it increases the oxygen level in the blood along the way and all this allows the body to state functioning as it was rightfully meant to. By this simple process it has enormous downstream benefits that are being evidenced.
Yes, I am passionate about the product as I’ve personally experienced and witnessed a great many real life success stories with this so-called ‘juice’.I’ve been touched many times of stories of autistic kids getting a second lease on life as well. Conveying the sincerity of this in typed words is difficult.
‘…keep an open mind, try to be realistic with goals and outcomes, and do only what’s best for you and your loved ones. Nothing else is a consideration.’

Dr Sartoria asked:
Ancient wisdom lost in time!
21st century science has taken over!
Or has it?
The same conspiracy theories now viewed by alternative health practitioners. What an awakening over the last few decades.
All these so-called fantasies are today taken for granted. In the past, lifetimes were dedicated to solving daily challenges and disease, and if someone came up with a solution, or a perceived solution, all other projects were dropped – well what was the point in continuing. The problem is not in finding a solution to cure cancer. That may shock you. The problem is in proving your findings, over time, with no back-up funding. So we are forced then to operate out of the traditional medical model, then only to be labeled quacks.
Well I can tell you, it is nothing less than belief and passion that drive alternative thinking people to solve this riddle. The traditional model is making progress; with early detection cancers can be removed with a positive prognosis. But unfortunately metastatic cancers still have a very low success rate for a positive outcome, and sadly, shrinkage is still considered a success and the reason chemotherapy is often used without the thought of quality of life. In fact, if I had cancer I have a complete belief that doing nothing would give me a better outcome then putting myself on a platter for the traditional chemotherapy and radiation treatments / research / experiment.
Then there is the desire to live, to stay a little longer, or possibly beat or cure cancer using alternatives. After a decade in the industry, today I see how easy people are led astray. Someone drank this special juice and then became cancer free. Please open your eyes; no one product holds all the answers to curing cancer, nor do I believe one alternative cancer therapy has the answers for all cancers.
Let’s first view cancer, what is it?
Cancer is by definition a healing crisis in the body. An area that as a result of ??something?? and has had ongoing inability to heal, thus cancer is formed. They are cells that are premature, that lack the ability at that early stage to recognize a wall. For example when an area is to heal, new cells are formed, they grow to full or replace an area that has been damaged, once they hit a different part of the body, for example lung cancer touches an area outside the lung, they should stop growing. Cancer cells don’t recognize this new tissue and continue to grow. Theorized in Edward Griffith’s book and Philip Day’s book as tripoblast, the same cells that are found in the fast growing cells of a newly forming fetus as well as in large quantities when we have an injury or surgery, these cells play an important role in the quick growth of cells to repair the body.
Let’s look at the cause and why this is important?
Well let’s face it, if you don’t eliminate the cause and it still is getting into your system, do you think you will win the battle? Let’s take smoking. If it happened to cause the aggravation in the lung, and this was ongoing, eventually turning into cancer, if you still smoke, you can see how it would be difficult to believe the cancer could be cured?
If the cancer was caused by electromagnetic current like living under power lines, again, it would have to go or you will have to move. If a brain tumor was caused by a mobile phone, it would have to go, don’t you agree? And I wouldn’t wonder if it’s true or not, I would just play it safe and get rid of the phone! If your cancer was caused by xeno-estrogens that are given off in reheated plastics and soft plastics, or by chemicals washed off from your roof into water supplies, or food imported from countries where high chemicals are sprayed onto crops – if you still had these chemicals entering your body, and they were the initial fuel that caused the cancer, you have little chance of putting out the fire if you don’t eliminate them. If you took antacids to put out the fire of poor eating habits, thus causing your body to increase the acid production required for digesting your food, and you did this on an ongoing basis, and this was the cause of your esophagus cancer, you would have to stop this to eliminate the cause. If your cancer was caused by parasites such as the human papilloma virus (HPV) have been linked to cervical cancer, and the parasite was never eliminated, what chance would you have? I think you understand the idea now. Eliminating the cause, or possible cause, is IMPORTANT whatever path you choose to go, traditional, complementary or alternative.
Then there are the buried alternatives!
Making a way now is a result of dedicated people, mostly well-educated, pushing hard to cause an awakening in all of us. Motivated by this news, many then believe this is the cure, B17, Cesium, ozone, and so on. Well I have seen miracles using these on their own. But truly it is hit or miss! Sadly I can’t tell you if it will work for you or not; I can tell you though, that I believe all of the alternatives we have listed here on their own have worked with some clients I have worked with, completely eliminating any signs of cancer. Equally in some cancers they haven’t worked. This ancient wisdom passed down from past scientists and medical practitioners like the Cesium High pH Theory by the late Aubrey Keith Brewer, Ph.D., and later continued by an employee at that time - Dr. Sartori. Then there is laetrile, also referred to as Vitamin B17 by Dr. Krebs and later publicized by G. Edward Griffin in “Cancer The Winnable War,” and later by Philip Day from Credence in “Cancer – Why I’m Still Dying To Know The Truth.” Then there are many herbal teas and herbs and parasite-eliminating promoted books on cancer, too many to mention. These all seem to have merit and reported benefits.
Has a Layman found the solution?
Then a layperson, with a desire to find a solution and cure for a loved one, decided over time that it was silly to rely on just one solution. Why don’t we combine them in a step-by-step process – thus, leaving no stone unturned and offering the best possible outcome? First he recommended doing an assessment with blood tests, parasite screening and eliminating weaknesses in nutrition and its possible causes. Then strengthening the immune system by adding in supplements for this, and to strengthen the liver with the ability to detoxify with herbs, nutrition, juicing and coffee enema discovered by the late Dr Max Gerson who was a German physician who developed the Gerson therapies. This vegan diet never cured an O Blood Type. An important observation this layperson used to reason the Blood Type Diet. Then add in laetrile and parasite cleanses for a month. Altering the diet for 21 days to organic juices and living food, then slowly changing to a diet based on origins of the “Eat To Your Blood Type Diet.” After evaluating blood tests in month two, continuing with injections as required if the cancer has stopped growing, and adding high levels of Vitamin C via a drip, he theorized, would help speed up results and clean out the dead cancer cells.
If it hasn’t slowed or stopped the cancer!
He then added in the High pH Therapy Program. This intensive IV combination of 20 minerals is so promising, with me witnessing a fist-sized mouth cancer completely dissolving within a few weeks, metastatic ****** cancer in the liver, spine and hip bone cancer completely dissolving after a month or two of treatment. This is truly exciting. People with massive bone cancer that couldn’t walk, walking after a few days of this treatment, and the cancer stopped growing the first week of the treatment. This treatment can take its toll on the body, so it made sense to prepare the person the month prior.
Then after this very exhausting therapy, rebuilding the body with good healthy food, hyperbaric oxygen, massage etc., just makes sense when the body has gone through the equivalent of major surgery.
This is a very brief summary of the reason we have adopted this program; early trials are nothing short of exciting, and we believe the controlled organic environment at the XYZ-Wellbeing ReTreat Facility, Alternative Hospital, whatever you wish to call it, may produce results never seen before in the elimination of cancer.
Included in the program is a synergistic balance of every service we offer, under the top link “ReTreat Services,” as well as experienced use of these combination’s of what we call ancient wisdom.
What therapies are included in the XYZ-Wellbeing ReTreat Facility Three-Month Program?
Firstly its a life time membership, but includes a home or clinical three month intensive step by step program. X-rays, Ultrasound, PET Scans, Thermal Imaging, Live Blood Analysis, Iridology, Blood Tests, Stool Parasite Tests, Nutritionalists trained in the Eat To Your Blood Type Diet, Naturopaths overseeing additional health challenges, Infrared Treatments including Infrared Saunas, Colonic Hydrotherapy for assistance in eliminating waste and providing a good environment for herb and coffee enama’s, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Mind and past trauma clearing complemented with meditation and sound therapy.
Then we add in the ancient wisdom therapies of:
Vitamin B17 Laetrile/layetril, Ozone Therapy, DMSO Dimethyl Sulfoxide, Vitamin C infusion, Laetrile vitamin B17, High pH Cesium Mineral Therapy and two unique therapies that we can not release the details: until the trial is complete.
Sounds overwhelming?
Well you’re not on your own if you want help doing this at home, we will hold your hand and assist you every step of the way! I can say that in the trials we have done, clients don’t want to go home they feel so good and so pampered and they see first hand results happening. You now do some reading in the links in this section and see how good they all look on their own. Then contact us and register, because time is of the essence and the earlier you choose this program the better possible the outcome can be made.

Ancient wisdom lost in time!
21st century science has taken over!
Or has it?
The same conspiracy theories now viewed by alternative health practitioners. What an awakening over the last few decades.
All these so-called fantasies are today taken for granted. In the past, lifetimes were dedicated to solving daily challenges and disease, and if someone came up with a solution, or a perceived solution, all other projects were dropped – well what was the point in continuing. The problem is not in finding a solution to cure cancer. That may shock you. The problem is in proving your findings, over time, with no back-up funding. So we are forced then to operate out of the traditional medical model, then only to be labeled quacks.
Well I can tell you, it is nothing less than belief and passion that drive alternative thinking people to solve this riddle. The traditional model is making progress; with early detection cancers can be removed with a positive prognosis. But unfortunately metastatic cancers still have a very low success rate for a positive outcome, and sadly, shrinkage is still considered a success and the reason chemotherapy is often used without the thought of quality of life. In fact, if I had cancer I have a complete belief that doing nothing would give me a better outcome then putting myself on a platter for the traditional chemotherapy and radiation treatments / research / experiment.
Then there is the desire to live, to stay a little longer, or possibly beat or cure cancer using alternatives. After a decade in the industry, today I see how easy people are led astray. Someone drank this special juice and then became cancer free. Please open your eyes; no one product holds all the answers to curing cancer, nor do I believe one alternative cancer therapy has the answers for all cancers.
Let’s first view cancer, what is it?
Cancer is by definition a healing crisis in the body. An area that as a result of ??something?? and has had ongoing inability to heal, thus cancer is formed. They are cells that are premature, that lack the ability at that early stage to recognize a wall. For example when an area is to heal, new cells are formed, they grow to full or replace an area that has been damaged, once they hit a different part of the body, for example lung cancer touches an area outside the lung, they should stop growing. Cancer cells don’t recognize this new tissue and continue to grow. Theorized in Edward Griffith’s book and Philip Day’s book as tripoblast, the same cells that are found in the fast growing cells of a newly forming fetus as well as in large quantities when we have an injury or surgery, these cells play an important role in the quick growth of cells to repair the body.
Let’s look at the cause and why this is important?
Well let’s face it, if you don’t eliminate the cause and it still is getting into your system, do you think you will win the battle? Let’s take smoking. If it happened to cause the aggravation in the lung, and this was ongoing, eventually turning into cancer, if you still smoke, you can see how it would be difficult to believe the cancer could be cured?

If a brain tumor was caused by a mobile phone, it would have to go, don’t you agree? And I wouldn’t wonder if it’s true or not, I would just play it safe and get rid of the phone! If your cancer was caused by xeno-estrogens that are given off in reheated plastics and soft plastics, or by chemicals washed off from your roof into water supplies, or food imported from countries where high chemicals are sprayed onto crops – if you still had these chemicals entering your body, and they were the initial fuel that caused the cancer, you have little chance of putting out the fire if you don’t eliminate them.

Jody asked:
I would like to start out by saying I am not a doctor and I do not make medical claims, I am a concerned citizen who has a passion for researching smart alternatives for our health and sharing them with others who are taking an initiative to do their research and make their own educated decisions.
The first sign of a Brain Tumor may be a seizure. Where the tumor puts pressure on an area of the Brain and causes the Brain to “short circuit” and get signals crossed which in turn can cause the body to experience some form of seizure, depending upon where the tumor is located.
A Heavy Metal Toxicity may be the reason for a seizure. This can cause the Brain to “short circuit” as well because they are electically conductive. The Myelin Sheath if insufficient, the Brain “short circuits” as there is no insulation to protect electrical neural travelling.
Asparmatame has been documented in Alternative health sites to have caused seizures in some individuals. Asparmatame is an “Excitotoxin” and can have many detrimental affects on the body. A book recommendation is “Excitoxins: The Taste That Kills”, by Russell Blaylock, Neurosurgeon.
Low Blood Sugar, in children and adults can cause a seizure, (a drop of honey under the tongue can bring them out of it), as it allows the sugar to enter the blood stream rapidly.
Without knowing the exact cause of the seizures, or maybe you do and you are looking for alternatives to medication, surgury or radiation, below is a list of possiblities to ponder.
*Magnesium Supplementation can reduce the problem of Heavy Metal Toxicity. Signs of Magnesium deficiency are : increased irritability, disorientation, convulsions/seizures, psychotic behavior. It also has a direct affect on the neuromuscular and cardiovascular system.
*Myelin Sheath, Lecithin promotes the growth of the Myelin Sheath.
*Brain Tumors, Vitamin B Complex, Zinc, Chromium Chloride, Sodium Vanadate can slow down Tumor Growth. Cancerous Brain Tumors need anaerobic respiration via glucose metabolism to survive. These minerals above simply blocks it. A mixture of Clove Oil, Lavender Oil plus Camphor Powder is also peculiar if applied topically to possibly reduce the tumor.
*Here is a recommendation: (Again I am not a doctor, I have only researched alternatives and found them interesting and worth a try, I am only providing you with information that I have deemed credible but you need to draw your own conclusions.)
*Vitamin B Complex 100mg (w/Biotin) (Biotin helps with uptake of Vit C)
*Vitamin B 12 100mcg (is probably in the B Complex already)
*Vitamin C 1000mg/daily (w/Bioflavanoids)
Brewer’s Yeast 1000mg (this contains RNA/DNA)
Kyolic Garlic 600mg/daily
Granulated Lecithin (This will help build the Myelin Sheath, strengthens the Liver and Normalizes Sugars)
*Bathing in Epsom Salts can control seizures as well, any Pharmacology book will tell you that Magnesium (Epsom is one form) is the second most plentiful cation of the intracellular fluids and is essential for the activity of many enzymes and plays an importan role in neurochemical transmission and muscular excitablity. (Epsom Salts are given to pre-eclamptic women via IV to prevent seizures).
I hope some of this information has been food for thought and that it has possibly helped with either alternative options to try or helpful information to educate and enlighten some of the questions you may have in regards to seizures.
It is always recommended to get as much nutrients, vitamins/minerals from food sources first and supplemental forms second.
In closing, I feel that “If you can cure a problem with vitamins or minerals, the problem is not disease, it is a dietary deficiency.”
Please check out the smart alternatives available through organic food options as well as quality vitamins and minerals, aromatherapy, bath salts, xylitol sweetener a healthy alternative to sugar and asparmatame. Visit, http://mysmartalternatives.com

Blake Vanderhyde asked:
The following is an example of a Health Care Directive (many people still refer to this as a Living Will). It is broken down into 3 basic parts. 1) Appointment of the Health Care Agent. 2) Health Care Instructions. 3) Making the Document Legal. Like most legal documents, it can be a bit confusing and overwhelming. The purpose for making this easily available to the public is simple. To help people know what to expect before contacting a lawyer and having him or her draft a directive for them. Nobody likes thinking about their demise or incapacity. However, dealing with such issues is a necessary part of life.
This example should not be used as a substitute for getting solid legal advice from a licensed attorney. Every individual is different. Please consult a lawyer in your area to discuss your specific estate planning needs.
HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE
I, ___________________________________, understand this document allows me to do One or both of the following:
PART I: Name another person (called the health care agent) to make health care decisions for me if I am unable to decide or speak for myself. My health care agent must make health care decisions for me based on the instructions I provide in this document (Part II), if any, the wishes I have made known to him or her, or must act in my best interest if I have not made my health care wishes known.
And/or
PART II: Give health care instructions to guide others making health care decisions for me. If I have named a health care agent, these instructions are to be used by the agent. These instructions may also be used by my health care providers, others assisting with my health care and my family, in the event I cannot make decisions for myself.
PART I: APPOINTMENT OF HEALTH CARE AGENT
This is who I want to make health care decisions for me if I am unable to decide or speak for myself (I know I can change my agent or alternate agent at any time and I know I do not have to appoint an agent or an alternate agent)
NOTE: If you appoint an agent, you should discuss this health care directive with your agent and give your agent a copy. If you do not wish to appoint an agent, you may leave Part I blank and go to Part II.
When I am unable to decide or speak for myself, I trust and appoint ___________________ to make health care decisions for me. This person is called my health care agent. Relationship of my health care agent to me: ___________________
Telephone number of my health care agent: _________________________
Address of my health care agent: _________________________
(OPTIONAL) APPOINTMENT OF ALTERNATE HEALTH CARE AGENT: If my health care agent is not reasonably available, I trust and appoint _________________ to be my health care agent instead. Relationship of my alternate health care agent to me: ___________________________Telephone number of my alternate health care agent: ___________________________ Address of my alternate health care agent: ___________________________
THIS IS WHAT I WANT MY HEALTH CARE AGENT TO BE ABLE TO
DO IF I AM UNABLE TO DECIDE OR SPEAK FOR MYSELF (I know I can change these choices)
My health care agent is automatically given the powers listed below in (A) through (D).
My health care agent must follow my health care instructions in this document or any other instructions I have given to my agent. If I have not given health care instructions, then my agent must act in my best interest. Whenever I am unable to decide or speak for myself, my health care agent has the power to:
(A) Make any health care decision for me. This includes the power to give, refuse, or
withdraw consent to any care, treatment, service, or procedures. This includes deciding whether to stop or not start health care that is keeping me or might keep me alive, and deciding about intrusive mental health treatment.
(B) Choose my health care providers.
(C) Choose where I live and receive care and support when those choices relate to my
health care needs.
(D) Review my medical records and have the same rights that I would have to give my
medical records to other people.
If I DO NOT want my health care agent to have a power listed above in (A) through (D) OR if I want to LIMIT any power in (A) through (D), I MUST say that here:
______________________________________________________________________
My health care agent is NOT automatically given the powers listed below in (1) and (2). If I WANT my agent to have any of the powers in (1) and (2), I must INITIAL the line in front of the power; then my agent WILL HAVE that power.
______ (1) To decide whether to donate any parts of my body, including organs, tissues, and eyes, when I die.
______ (2) To decide what will happen with my body when I die (burial, cremation).
If I want to say anything more about my health care agent’s powers or limits on the powers, I can say it here: ________________________________________________________________________
PART II: HEALTH CARE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Complete this Part II if you wish to give health care instructions. If you appointed an agent in Part I, completing this Part II is optional but would be very helpful to your agent. However, if you chose not to appoint an agent in Part I, you MUST complete some or all of this Part II if you wish to make a valid health care directive.
These are instructions for my health care when I am unable to decide or speak for myself.
These instructions must be followed (so long as they address my needs).
THESE ARE MY BELIEFS AND VALUES ABOUT MY HEALTH CARE
(I know I can change these choices or leave any of them blank)
I want you to know these things about me to help you make decisions about my health care:
My goals for my health care: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My fears about my health care: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My spiritual or religious beliefs and traditions: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My beliefs about when life would be no longer worth living:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My thoughts about how my medical condition might affect my family:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
THIS IS WHAT I WANT AND DO NOT WANT FOR MY HEALTH CARE
(I know I can change these choices or leave any of them blank) Many medical treatments may be used to try to improve my medical condition or to prolong my life. Examples include artificial breathing by a machine connected to a tube in the lungs, artificial feeding or fluids through tubes, attempts to start a stopped heart, surgeries, dialysis, antibiotics, and blood transfusions. Most medical treatments can be tried for a while and then stopped if they do not help. I have these views about my health care in these situations: (Note: You can discuss general feelings, specific treatments, or leave any of them blank)
If I had a reasonable chance of recovery, and were temporarily unable to decide or speak
for myself, I would want:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If I were dying and unable to decide or speak for myself, I would want:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If I were permanently unconscious and unable to decide or speak for myself, I would want:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If I were completely dependent on others for my care and unable to decide or speak for
myself, I would want: …..
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In all circumstances, my doctors will try to keep me comfortable and reduce my pain. This is how I feel about pain relief if it would affect my alertness or if it could shorten my life:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
There are other things that I want or do not want for my health care, if possible:
Who I would like to be my doctor:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Where I would like to live to receive health care:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Where I would like to die and other wishes I have about dying:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My wishes about donating parts of my body when I die:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My wishes about what happens to my body when I die (cremation, burial):
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Any other things:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The following is an example of a Health Care Directive (many people still refer to this as a Living Will). It is broken down into 3 basic parts. 1) Appointment of the Health Care Agent. 2) Health Care Instructions. 3) Making the Document Legal. Like most legal documents, it can be a bit confusing and overwhelming. The purpose for making this easily available to the public is simple. To help people know what to expect before contacting a lawyer and having him or her draft a directive for them. Nobody likes thinking about their demise or incapacity. However, dealing with such issues is a necessary part of life.
This example should not be used as a substitute for getting solid legal advice from a licensed attorney. Every individual is different. Please consult a lawyer in your area to discuss your specific estate planning needs.
HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE
I, ___________________________________, understand this document allows me to do One or both of the following:
PART I: Name another person (called the health care agent) to make health care decisions for me if I am unable to decide or speak for myself. My health care agent must make health care decisions for me based on the instructions I provide in this document (Part II), if any, the wishes I have made known to him or her, or must act in my best interest if I have not made my health care wishes known.
And/or
PART II: Give health care instructions to guide others making health care decisions for me. If I have named a health care agent, these instructions are to be used by the agent. These instructions may also be used by my health care providers, others assisting with my health care and my family, in the event I cannot make decisions for myself.
PART I: APPOINTMENT OF HEALTH CARE AGENT
This is who I want to make health care decisions for me if I am unable to decide or speak for myself (I know I can change my agent or alternate agent at any time and I know I do not have to appoint an agent or an alternate agent)
NOTE: If you appoint an agent, you should discuss this health care directive with your agent and give your agent a copy. If you do not wish to appoint an agent, you may leave Part I blank and go to Part II.
When I am unable to decide or speak for myself, I trust and appoint ___________________ to make health care decisions for me. This person is called my health care agent. Relationship of my health care agent to me: ___________________
Telephone number of my health care agent: _________________________
Address of my health care agent: _________________________
(OPTIONAL) APPOINTMENT OF ALTERNATE HEALTH CARE AGENT: If my health care agent is not reasonably available, I trust and appoint _________________ to be my health care agent instead. Relationship of my alternate health care agent to me: ___________________________Telephone number of my alternate health care agent: ___________________________ Address of my alternate health care agent: ___________________________
THIS IS WHAT I WANT MY HEALTH CARE AGENT TO BE ABLE TO
DO IF I AM UNABLE TO DECIDE OR SPEAK FOR MYSELF (I know I can change these choices)
My health care agent is automatically given the powers listed below in (A) through (D).
My health care agent must follow my health care instructions in this document or any other instructions I have given to my agent. If I have not given health care instructions, then my agent must act in my best interest. Whenever I am unable to decide or speak for myself, my health care agent has the power to:
(A) Make any health care decision for me. This includes the power to give, refuse, or
withdraw consent to any care, treatment, service, or procedures. This includes deciding whether to stop or not start health care that is keeping me or might keep me alive, and deciding about intrusive mental health treatment.
(B) Choose my health care providers.
(C) Choose where I live and receive care and support when those choices relate to my
health care needs.
(D) Review my medical records and have the same rights that I would have to give my
medical records to other people.
If I DO NOT want my health care agent to have a power listed above in (A) through (D) OR if I want to LIMIT any power in (A) through (D), I MUST say that here:
______________________________________________________________________
My health care agent is NOT automatically given the powers listed below in (1) and (2). If I WANT my agent to have any of the powers in (1) and (2), I must INITIAL the line in front of the power; then my agent WILL HAVE that power.
______ (1) To decide whether to donate any parts of my body, including organs, tissues, and eyes, when I die.
______ (2) To decide what will happen with my body when I die (burial, cremation).
If I want to say anything more about my health care agent’s powers or limits on the powers, I can say it here: ________________________________________________________________________
PART II: HEALTH CARE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Complete this Part II if you wish to give health care instructions. If you appointed an agent in Part I, completing this Part II is optional but would be very helpful to your agent. However, if you chose not to appoint an agent in Part I, you MUST complete some or all of this Part II if you wish to make a valid health care directive.
These are instructions for my health care when I am unable to decide or speak for myself.
These instructions must be followed (so long as they address my needs).
THESE ARE MY BELIEFS AND VALUES ABOUT MY HEALTH CARE

By Michael Webster: Investigative Reporter May 7, 2008, 2:00 PM PDT
In a recent drug bust at the San Diego State University Federal agents and SDSU police culminated a yearlong investigation into drug dealing around campus and found it to be more sophisticated, more pervasive and more dangerous and far reaching than they expected or have seen before. These arrests coincided with the first anniversary of a female student freshman’s cocaine-related death.
According to local newspaper reports ninety-six suspects, including 75 SDSU students, have been arrested on drug-related charges as a result of the undercover operation, launched after Jenny Poliakoff, 19, was found dead in her off-campus apartment after a night of celebration.
One of the main suspects in this international drug investigation is Omar Castaneda, a gang member from Pomona with ties to the Mexican Tijuana drug cartels, officials said.
Castaneda, 36, after his arrest he was arraigned in San Diego Superior Court on charges of possession of cocaine for sale. He is suspected of being a major link between drugs flowing into California from Tijuana and sales at SDSU and other California campuses.
The violent Tijuana drug cartel also known as the Arellano-Felix organization (AFO) has a firm and deadly hold on all drug trafficking activities in Baja and San Diego California. Their reach controls drug smuggling in Sinaloa, Jalisco, Michoacan, Chiapas and Baja, and has strong links to San Diego, California. The AFO dispenses an estimated $1 million weekly in bribes to Mexican officials, police and Mexican army officers and maintains its own-well armed, trained, paramilitary security force. The DEA considers the AFO the most violent and aggressive of the Mexican border cartels. Here is the DEA’s background profile on the AFO and its leaders. Click on or google: Dangerous Mexican Cartel Gangs
The SDSU Police Department approached the DEA and county narcotics task-force officials for assistance in December of 07, when it became clear that the drug trafficking on campus was widespread and involved Mexican organized crime drug cartels and their gang members and they feared that it far out striped their ability to handle a potentially very complicated international drug trafficking investigation.
“We were coming in contact with more types of narcotics,” SDSU Police Chief John Browning said. “If you’re serious about this, you have to go to someone who has the resources to take it to the next level.”
As the investigation was unfolding, the campus dealt with another drug-related death. An autopsy showed that Mesa College student Kurt Baker died Feb. 24 at an SDSU fraternity from oxycodone and alcohol poisoning.
“We know there’s drug use in college . . . but when you have an organization that’s actually based out of a college area, that’s a whole different thing,” said Garrison Courtney of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. “You just don’t see that.”
Research indicates that lucrative university and high school campuses are fertile markets for drug dealers. Mexican drug cartels have known this for years and are believed to have infiltrated many of America’s school campuses through cartel gang members. Federal authorities point to the Mexican drug cartels who are ultimately responsible for border violence by having cemented ties to street and prison gangs like Barrio Azteca on the U.S. side. Azteca and other U.S. gangs retail drugs that they get from Mexican cartels and Mexican gangs. Mexican gangs run their own distribution networks in the United States, and they produce most of the methamphetamine used north of the border. They have even bypassed the Colombians several times to buy cocaine directly from producers in Bolivia, Peru and even Afghanistan. These same gangs often work as cartel surrogates or enforcers on the U.S. side of the border. Intelligence suggests Los Zetas . Click on or google: They’re known as “Los Zetas have hired members of various gangs at different times including, El Paso gang Barrio Azteca, Mexican Mafia, Texas Syndicate, MS-13, and Hermanos Pistoleros Latinos to further their criminal endeavors. Authorities on both sides of the border believe many of these gang members and other surrogates of the powerful Mexican drug cartels have infiltrated and operate openly on many American school campuses particularly in states bordering Mexico including Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
One suspect, Phi Kappa Psi member Michael Montoya, worked as a community-service officer on campus and would have earned a master’s degree in homeland security next month. Another student arrested on suspicion of possessing 500 grams of cocaine and two guns was a criminal-justice major.
Authorities identified 22 SDSU students as drug dealers who sold to undercover agents. At least 17 others allegedly supplied the drugs. The rest of the suspects apparently bought or possessed illegal drugs.
Authorities said students from seven fraternities were involved in the drug ring, which operated openly across campus.
Evidence showed that “most of the members were aware of organized drug dealing occurring from the fraternity houses,” officials said. Drug agents confirmed that “a hierarchy existed for the purposes of selling drugs for money.”
Authorities singled out the Theta Chi fraternity as a hub of cocaine dealing.
One alleged dealer, Theta Chi member Kenneth Ciaccio, sent text messages to his “faithful customers” announcing that cocaine sales would be suspended over an upcoming weekend because he and his “associates” planned to be in Las Vegas, authorities said.
The same message posted “sale” prices on cocaine if transactions were completed before the dealers left San Diego.
Until yesterday, Ciaccio was featured on SDSU’s Web site promoting the Compact for Success program, which guarantees certain Sweetwater Union High School District students admission to the university if they maintain a B average.
SDSU President Stephen Weber said that even when campus police decided to ask for help from other authorities, “it wasn’t clear that we were going to end up at the point where we were today.”
Ramon Mosler, chief of the narcotics division of the District Attorney’s Office in San Diego California, said the investigation could have happened on any college campus in America. Mosler said his unit joined in because the university took the unusual step of asking for help.
“Oftentimes administrations don’t want us to do this stuff, and that’s unfortunate,” Mosler said. “I think it’s important to do this every now and then to wake people up. It raises everyone’s awareness to the dangers of drugs.”
According to the search-warrant affidavit, Thomas Watanapun sold $400 worth of cocaine to undercover agents from a Lexus sedan registered to his father in Los Angeles.
Authorities said some of the suspects made little effort to conceal their activities.
Dealers “weren’t picky about who they sold to,” Mosler said.
Also arraigned was Patrick Hawley, 20, who was arrested on suspicion of armed robbery and selling cocaine near the campus, officials said.
According to a 2007 study by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, nearly half of the nation’s 5.4 million full-time college students abuse drugs or alcohol at least once a month.
Law enforcement officials in San Diego say street gangs here continue to have strong ties to organized crime groups in Tijuana. A gunman killed recently in an attack in Tijuana is believed to belong to both a gang in Barrio Logan and the Arellano Felix Drug Cartel. KPBS Reporter Amy Isackson reported.
For years, Mexican drug trafficking groups have recruited U.S. gang members to do everything from smuggle drugs to murder. Tijuana’s Arellano Felix Drug Cartel and a gang from San Diego’s Barrio Logan neighborhood go back at least 15 years.
Many students enrolled in American schools are believed members of gangs many are now coming from the U.S. Military as they rotate out of the services. Many are veterans who where encouraged to join the U.S Military for combat training by Mexican cartels and gang leaders.
The cartels are confronting police and the army on a regular bases in Mexico and hope that these same tactics will soon pay off and enable them to confront the U.S Police in a much more professional, effective and dangerous ways.
Richard Valdemar, a 30-year-veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, travels the country lecturing and teaching police about military-trained gang members. Valdemar and other gang experts say gangs are encouraging members to join the military for training to learn urban warfare and learn the latest weaponry.
The military’s current emphasis on urban warfare plays into the street-fighting mentality of gangs, experts say.
“When individuals go into the military, they are taught how to use weapons, defensive tactics, and the use of a lot of sophisticated techniques,” said LaRae Quy, of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “They take that back on the streets with them. This is a legitimate concern for law enforcement.”
Valdemar cites former Camp Pendleton Marine Sgt. Jesse Quintanilla as just one high-profile example. A military court sentenced Quintanilla to death in 1996 for killing his executive officer and wounding his commanding officer.
When interrogators asked Quintanilla why he committed the crimes, Quintanilla said it was for “his brown brothers,” according to Valdemar. Quintanilla showed them a tattoo on his chest with the word “Sureno,” a reference to a California gang, according to court documents.
Army recruiting headquarters in Washington, D.C., dismiss the claims as urban myth. An Army spokesman said army background checks are extensive and weed out gang members.
The ARELLANO-Felix Organization (AFO), often referred to as the Tijuana Cartel, is one of the most powerful and aggressive drug trafficking organizations operating from Mexico; it is undeniably the most violent. More than any other major trafficking organization from Mexico, this organization extends its tentacles directly from high-echelon figures in the law enforcement and judicial systems in Mexico to street-level individuals in United States cities. The AFO is responsible for the transportation, importation and distribution of multi-ton quantities of cocaine, marijuana, as well as large quantities of heroin and methamphetamine, into the United States from Mexico. The AFO operates primarily in the Mexican states of Sinaloa (their birth place), Jalisco, Michoacan, Chiapas, and Baja California South and North.
From Baja, the drugs enter California, the primary point of embarkation into the United States distribution network.
The ARELLANO family, composed of seven brothers and four sisters, inherited the organization from Miguel Angel FELIX-Gallardo upon his incarceration in Mexico in 1989 for his complicity in the murder of DEA Special Agent Enrique Camarena. Alberto Benjamin ARELLANO-Felix assumed leadership of the family structured criminal enterprise and provides a businessman’s approach to the management of drug trafficking operations.
The AFO also maintains complex communications centers in several major cities in Mexico and the U.S. to conduct electronic espionage and counter surveillance measures against law enforcement entities. The organization employs radio scanners and equipment capable of intercepting both hard line, radio and cellular phones to ensure the security of AFO operations. In addition to technical equipment, the AFO maintains caches of sophisticated automatic weaponry secured from a variety of international sources.

A Joint Task Force composed of the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been established in San Diego, California to target the AFO; the Task Force is investigating AFO operations in southern California and related regional investigations which track drug transportation, distribution and money laundering activities of the AFO throughout the United States.

Chinese traditional medicine has been well known for its safety and effectiveness. Basically, Chinese medicine is based on a wide concoction of different herbs strategically and carefully blended and combined to balance the flow of energy in the body. The concept of energy flow Yin Yang is what differentiates the old Chinese way of medicine. As such, it is also the major factor that makes the medicine traditional, non-conventional and simply alternative.
Through time, people and civilizations all around the world have recognized the potency and effectiveness of the popular Chinese medicine. There are major Chinese herbs that are starting to be used independently as a form of medicine. The use of organic herbal medicine has been known the world over. In fact, many forms of home remedies that have been in use for centuries are influenced by the popularity of Chinese herbal medicine.
