How Can High IQ MD's Be So Stupid
To even get into Med schools takes a high above average intelligence. To stay and graduate even at the bottom of the class takes even more. All "doctors" of any kind have to be smarter than average, and the MD should be above the rest. Yet, these highly intelligent people accept what they are taught in Medical school without questioning where and why it's what they are learning. Even worse, they don't question what they are missing. No medical school today teaches the fundamentals of what we are made of, only what drugs allay symptoms in effect. They are taught how organs work, and what can go wrong, and what drugs may or may not work. What they don't learn is basic nutrition, and how the lack of this causes stress and all diseases. This information simply isn't taught.
They either don't know, or don't care that the curriculum at virtually all Med schools is designed by Big Pharma, and that they have NOT been given any learning contrary to pharmacology. Virtually no med schools teach more than 1 hour of vitamins and minerals, enzymes, and amino acids, the basic building blocks of our body construction.. Yet, they are taught thousands of hours of drug usage.
Remember that the first real Medical school was started by Standard Oil's Rockefeller, and what were the first drugs made of? Oil, and petroleum is still a major part of the drug industry. Big Pharma still controls the curriculum at most med schools. Every med school gets money directly or indirectly from Big Pharma.
How about what they learn from prestigious Medical Journals? Surely those "peer reviewed" scientific research articles should open their eyes. Nope, that just don't work either. It seems that all Med journals exist solely on advertising - by who - Big Pharma. If any Med Journal accepts advertising from any other source, that would be big news. If any Med Journal accepted the "truth" about just Vitamin C, it would go out of business, That's the sad truth.
The former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine recently said that she left that publication because it was almost totally untrue in too many areas, and she was sick of that.
There have been at least 4 "peer reviewed" articles that I have personally seen that baldly stated "Vitamin C has no effect on colds and flu". Dr's who do not know much about vitamins, especially ascorbic acid Vitamin C, read these, and believe that. MD's are busy people, and they're literally "brainwashed" by Big Pharma, free samples, wining and dining by sales reps, etc. (Did you know that every third year Med student gets monthly or more gifts from Big Pharma - that's documented - and it's outright bribery).
Speaking about bribery, how about the many politicians in both parties, who take all they can get from Big Pharma. After all their primary need for money is to get re-elected isn't it? Isn't that bribery? Sure looks like it, and Big Pharma wields a very big stick (of money). I now look carefully at the politicians I vote for, and who their contributors are. Should you?
Take a look at those Vitamin C tests. In every case, the so-called researcher used 1 gram (1000 mg) per hour or less. Since a virus DOUBLES every 20 minutes or so, and by the time there are cold symptoms present, the number of virus cells busy multiplying is in the billions. 1 gram won't kill even 50% at that stage. However, for the sake of simplicity, say that it can. This means that at the end of 20 minutes, the C is used up, and the number of virus cells is the same as when it started.
At the 40 minute mark, there are twice as many cells, and at the end of that hour, the number is now 4 times the original. And, the symptoms are much worse. Do you really think that the researcher paid by Big Pharma doesn't know the above? If every MD knew what I know of these simple basic facts, Big Pharma would lose billions of dollars, there would be less deaths, and vaccines would not be used at all.
How about cancer, the most dreaded disease of all? The plain facts are simple there as well. There have been at least a dozen different therapies that either cured cancer or helped to do so. (See http://drbate.com/content/cancer.shtml).
All of these have been known to Big Pharma, and all have conspired against to either downgrade these (using both Medical Journals, the power of the FDA , (completely controlled by Big Pharma), and brainwashed MD's. If such a cure cannot be patented, Big Pharma cannot make any money out of it, so they "hide" those facts, or distort them to keep their profits.
One MD was reported to me recently as saying to his patient, "Don't you think that your MD would be using Vitamin C as the best therapy for you if those stories were true". The worst part of that statement is he was probably telling the truth as he saw it.
There are hundreds of Big Pharma drugs for all types of mental problems, and not one really "cures" the problem. Most are dangerous to use for any length of time. For every such drug, there is a non drug solution proven to actually cure such mental disease. The Orthomolecular Society proved in the 60's that the megavitamin using niacin cured over half of all schizophrenics. (In the 80's, I found that copper uptake contamination and/or allergy caused the rest of that disease).
All of this drug less therapy is freely available, yet almost no MD's know anything about it. Their job is to "cure" disease, yet they don't have even the basic tools or knowledge to do it. They laugh at such therapy (practiced in India) as village elders standing around a schizophrenic, beating him/her with sticks to drive out the "evil spirits", yet that therapy has more chance of cure than the modern drugs. It must have worked at one time, or it wouldn't be used at all. Think about it.
How can we, the public that is suffering from this lack of basic knowledge get these facts to MD's? The web is bringing more and more of these basic facts into the light. Years ago, my friend and mentor, Abram Hoffer, then president of the Orthomolecular Society, told my late wife "All doctors are 'educationally handicapped'". If everyone reading this newsletter would send this editorial to his or her MD, it might open a few eyes. MD's are really smart, but really stupid as well. In health care, the "bottom line" just shouldn't be the criterion, but it is with too many MD's, and certainly with Big Pharma.
How can such high IQ people be so arrogant as to ignore the basic facts of nutrition? How can Big Pharma so "brainwash" all but a small minority of these "smart" people? What happened to the MD who came to the house, and was actually helpful to the sick without all these drugs? Are we, the public, better off today at the mercy of the AMA and Big Pharma? I'm not so sure - are you?

"Modern medicine's narrow approach, to treat every disease as if it were a drug deficiency, has resulted in a steep price for humanity. It is obvious millions have died prematurely since vitamin C was first discovered over 80 years ago. Brave and resolute men and women, Albert Szent-Györgyi, Irwin Stone, Linus Pauling, Ewan Cameron, Emil Ginter, Matthias Rath, Andrew Saul, Tom Levy, Steve Hickey, Raxit Jariwalla, John T. Ely, Hilary Roberts, and others promoted the idea of vitamin C therapy but were readily dismissed, even belittled."

------------------
The above quotes and information was sent to me by Dr Craig Olsen, a friend and scientist who I've quoted before. All who have been on this list for some time know that I have been a "ranting" advocate of Linus Pauling, ascorbic acid Vitamin C, and that I take 4 grams (4000mg) of ascorbic acid vitamin C daily, Why this "huge" amount when the RDA is only 75 mg per day?
I found out years ago that a 150+ pound ape in the zoo gets 4 grams of vitamin C daily, and since apes are very expensive, the Veterinarian is very careful not to lose one to sickness. Like it or not, we are all primates, and all primates lost the ability to make ascorbic acid out of glucose 65 million years ago. So, that means that the ape's needs are the same as ours. That's pretty simple logic.
So, similar logic tells me that at under 200 lbs, I should take at least 4000 mg per day. So, I take 2 grams with breakfast and two more at supper. That allows me to take minerals and other supplements at noon that will replenish any nutritional minerals taken out by the C.
Here's what this regime has done for me in particular:
My last mineral analysis showed "unmeasured" for all toxic minerals (mercury, cadmium, lead, aluminum, et al), except for arsenic, at a very low level. (I buy fruits and veggies from a Hispanic shop and they are from Hispanic countries that still spray with pesticides.) It should be noted that ONLY plain ascorbic acid Vitamin C takes minerals out of the body by combining with them to make an "ascorbate" form. Once in this combination, toxic minerals get out, but so do nutritional minerals. Almost all animals, except primates make ascorbic acid out of blood glucose as needed. Primates (us) do not.
This takes one hell of a lot of toxic mineral stress out of my body and mind, and reduces aging and disease.
From a recent Doppler test at the VA, I find that I have little plaque in my arteries. Ascorbic acid C takes out excess calcium from these "stored" areas, and thus, I have no worry about cholesterol. Without excess calcium sticking fatty acids including cholesterol to the artery walls, the fats simply wash away and are excreted. Big Pharma's dangerous "statins" aren't needed.
I now have no need for antibiotics, as C kills both bacteria and virus cells in the blood. This makes for a healthy gut, and this does several things - it provides Vitamin K which is the precursor needed for both the blood hormones - to clot or not to clot, that is the question - most people today do not have enough Vitamin K, so the clotting one gets priority. If I get a cut, it bleeds for about a minute, then clots (as they are supposed to do. Do you? About 70% do not.
Next, I have a good supply of B-12 with the "intrinsic factor" from the gut. Women suffer from high blood pressure without enough b-12 as I found out in the 80's. These are just the few things I know, and there's probably many more.
Add those to my use of Neuroliminal Training which seems to "cure" allergies, lowering that huge stress (as a minimum), and I am now at least 10 years younger than my chronological age of 84. My VA primary MD doesn't believe my changes. Those two basic things what are I've done to accomplish all the above. Try both - you'll see good results in a few months. Neither is fast to relieve symptoms, but neither is dangerous either.
Dealing With Pain
There are lots of prescription drugs that deal with all types of pain, but there aren't as many people that know about two non drug (and safer) pain relievers.
Aloe Vera is the absolute best for relief of any type of burning pain. It seals the area, and within seconds, pain is lessened if not gone. I used to keep an aloe plant in my "garden", or in an indoor pot. (Living in Florida, that's easy. ) Now, I keep a bottle of the Juice always handy. Just take a drop or two out, and put it directly on the wound or burn area. Trimming off the spines takes too much time if you're hurting IMO. And, it's tough to keep aloe alive in the northern winter.
There is a very interesting fact about aloe. The King James English translation from the Greek was done in England. Aloe vera does NOT grow in England so the translators couldn't know what it was, and seemingly translated that "aloe" as "alloy", and got gold. So, the three gifts of the Magi, have been known since as Frankincense, Myrrh, and Gold. (Two medicinal plants and a mineral - kind of incongruous isn't that?). The actual 3 gifts of the Magi, (if that mythical story is true, would have been - Frankincense, Myrrh, and Aloe. Makes more sense. ( I have to wonder how many other such mythical stories are distorted.)
There's another story I heard long ago about aloe vera. It seems that in the middle of the last century, a burn that covered over a major portion of a body meant death in all cases. However, the story As I recall it, has a boy in Key West Florida getting burned over 3/4's of his body. A black nanny got people collecting aloe plants, and trimming them and covered the burned areas with it, changing them every so often, and the boy recovered. As I recall that story, he didn't even have as much scarring as would be "usual".
The second is DMSO. The following is an abstract from googling DMSO.
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a by-product of the wood industry, has been in use as a commercial solvent since 1953. It is also one of the most studied but least understood pharmaceutical agents of our time--at least in the United States. According to Stanley Jacob, MD, a former head of the organ transplant program at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, more than 40,000 articles on its chemistry have appeared in scientific journals, which, in conjunction with thousands of laboratory studies, provide strong evidence of a wide variety of properties. (See Major Properties Attributed to DMSO) Worldwide, some 11,000 articles have been written on its medical and clinical implications, and in 125 countries throughout the world, including Canada, Great Britain, Germany, and Japan, doctors prescribe it for a variety of ailments, including pain, inflammation, scleroderma, interstitial cystitis, and arthritis elevated intercranial pressure.
Yet in the United States, DMSO has Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval only for use as a preservative of organs for transplant and for interstitial cystitis, a bladder disease. It has fallen out of the limelight and out of the mainstream of medical discourse, leading some to believe that it was discredited. The truth is more complicated.
Well, all you readers know what I think of the FDA, and its "pandering" to Big Pharma. If every;body knew about DMSO, how many millions would big Pharma lose in aspirin, and other pain relievers? Every other country (not controlled by Big Pharma) uses it , and every veterinarian uses it. MD's "brainwashed by Big Pharma don't, so most people don't even know about it. Another case of ""Educational Handicapping".
The most amazing thing about DMSO is the immediate relief of muscle and joint pain. The next amazing thing is that if mixed with other chemicals it has the power to "carry" it thru the skin to underlying areas. Dr Bill Douglas got me to remember it, and I now keep a bottle handy. (Right next to my bottle of Aloe). I consider those two be among my top items in my medical closet.
Measuring Mineral Toxicity
There are three methods of measuring mineral toxicity without actually taking a biopsy of the liver.
Blood Analysis: This measures only what is in the blood at the time of taking the sample. The problem with this is not only that it is limited in time, but blood levels will vary considerably over time, giving very inaccurate measures.
Urine Analysis: This measures only what was in the blood a short time ago. If a 24 hour collection is made, then it is more accurate.
Hair Analysis: Depending on the length of the hairs used, this can measure amounts over weeks or even months, and even years. We can also measure using fingernails with the same general accuracy.
Here's a major problem with all three methods. Toxic minerals are filtered out of the blood by the liver, and stored there (or moved to other storage). The liver WILL NOT release these toxic minerals back into the blood UNLESS there is something in the bloodstream that can remove them from the body.
The two "natural" chemicals that do this are ascorbic acid vitamin C and Glutathione. There are also various chemicals called "chelators" that "grab" onto all minerals, and render them water soluble, thus excreting them via urine. (Vitamin C and Glutathione are not exactly chelation chemicals, as they metabolize minerals, but they act the same way.) One of the best chelators is zeolite, and www.zortho.com has a good one I've used. (If you go there, use "drbate" as your sign-in and get a discount.).
Here's another source of inaccuracy. All the minerals present are measured. This includes the minerals necessary for good health, (Calcium, magnesium, iron, etc).
The toxic minerals are then measured against these "average levels" of nutritional minerals. This means that if no, or very little vitamin C or Glutathione is present in the blood, no, or very little toxic minerals are released, and measured as a ratio with the normal (averaged) minerals, so toxins may show up as very low, and not toxic on the chart.
In particular, this inaccuracy is a huge factor in autism cases. Let's look at a hypothetical case of a male infant from a mother with a high, but less than toxic amount of mercury. At birth, that liver is very small, and is probably "loaded" with toxins. Breast feeding adds more toxins from the mother. He has a very low amount of vitamin C, and even less glutathione as an autistic.
In the hospital or shortly afterwards, he gets a series of vaccines that use mercury (or aluminum) as a preservative. He already has a near toxic level of mercury stored in his liver, and this (huge to a small body) increase overloads his liver. The excess in the bloodstream goes to the brain and actually kills brain cells. Autism is the result.
Measure the blood at this time with any of the three methods above (perhaps months later), and the "apparent" level of mercury is well below the toxic level. It's "stored", and can't be released BECAUSE of the lack of a way to get it out of the body. Autistic children are very short in Glutathione, and there isn't enough vitamin C in most children's diets to even begin to remove the amounts of mercury stored. (The RDA of 75 mg will prevent scurvy, but is not even close for good health.)
Big Pharma knows all this. Very few MD's do. In lawsuits Big Pharma has been using blood and urine testing, and "false negatives" to "prove" that the autism wasn't caused in these kids by the mercury. Big Pharma is an expert at this type of lie and spin - witness their drug advertising.
From the above facts, it is possible to get a much more accurate measure from any of the three analysis methods above. The simplest is to load up the person to be tested on ascorbic acid vitamin C. For a few days prior to either the blood or urine testing, and for a month prior to the hair testing. This allows the liver to release any toxic minerals from storage into the bloodstream where they are neutralized by the vitamin C into a water soluble combination form that is then filtered out by the kidneys and expelled. (The hair and fingernail cells also accumulate minerals from the blood stream in the ratio that they appear in the bloodstream.)
Recently, I've been using hair analysis of the mother. Those levels are still not accurate, but they are much closer, and a fairly high level is a better indicator that the autistic child in most cases..
Why use ascorbic acid Vitamin C? It's relatively cheap; It's very safe to use even in very high doses, most chelators are expensive, and Glutathione is difficult to get into the bloodstream for any amount of time. It should be noted here that "ascorbate" forms of vitamin do NOT take out any minerals, as they are already in the ascorbate form. Only the plain ascorbic acid combines with minerals in the blood to form an ascorbate there which is then filtered out by the kidneys and exits the body. (A common "joke" is that if the vitamin C has my name (Bate) in it, it's no good for taking out minerals. Read the label.
In my former practice (80's & 90's) I helped many schizophrenics cure themselves using only ascorbic acid vitamin C. For adults, I usually went up to 10,000 mg (10 grams) per day in split doses. They were on this amount for perhaps a year, but after a week or so, they usually become free of the major symptoms. The vitamin C "neutralizes the toxic action of minerals as well as taking it out of the body!
The amount in the RDA is ridiculous at best. 75 mg - Bah humbug! Talk to a zoo vet and you'll find that the RDA for a 150 pound ape is 4000 mg per day. Humans and apes are exactly alike in basic metabolism and vitamin C need. I've been taking 4000 mg for many years, and I do not get infections from bacteria or viruses.
The other good thing about ascorbic acid vitamin C is that you can't get into harm using it. Take too much, and you only get diarrhea. Even in infants and small children. For infants under 20 pounds, I'd use 250 mg twice a day.
There are several chelation materials used today. Chelate means to "grab onto". The MD "standard" is EDTA. This chemical is put in intravenously. It's expensive in "doctor" time. Zeolite is another that can be used at home, but it's also much more expensive than plain old Ascorbate Acid (vitamin C).
Excess copper, particularly in women on the "pill" may cause schizophrenia, mercury is a cause of depression. Mercury and aluminum both cause brain cell death. In order to really cure such, these toxic minerals MUST be taken out of the body.
What's Wrong?
Dear Readers - I need some help. For some reason, orders are just not coming in. This newsletter goes out to over 3000 people, and more than a few of you have to need my NT CD's. There have to be a lot of "plump", or just plain fat., people that need my SMR/Weight Loss CD. There have to be readers that have ADD/ADHD kids, or have relatives that do, let alone autistic kids. There's just got to be a lot of you with insomnia, anxiety, and other symptoms of depression. NT CD's seem to help everybody with most problems. And with my guarantee, what have you got to lose? So, why have incoming orders almost dried up?
Now, the "www.drbate.com" website has been entirely re-designed, and the ranking for search engines are coming up nicely, and the "hits" are increasing. So, what's happened to the orders?
What I would ask all of you to do is to go to http://drbate.com. Then once there, take a good look at the design of that site. How does it work for you, Or, even more importantly, how does it NOT work for you personally. Please email me (drbate@bellsouth.net) with any and all impressions and suggestions that might help. I know it's very technically good, but could it be esthetically not so good?
Please let me know what your impressions are, and how you think it could be improved. There's a huge amount of free information given out free with over 100 free articles, all written to help people. There's something there for YOU.
My webmaster is really good, and the increasing number of hits shows that it's at least designed correctly to get people to go there, but why isn't it getting orders?
The prices for the ADD-Autism and the SMR/Weight Loss NT CD's are now up to the $177 , so all are the same price as of now. For all the readers of this newsletter who take the time to send me emails about my web site, I will reply with a URL that will allow that person to purchase any of the 3 NT CD's at a 25% discount directly. (That's $44.25 off for your trouble and interest.) Please help.

I was just told about a very good article from a supposed unbiased source - health.reports.com. This website covers many different health subjects, and from what I've seen so far, it is pretty middle ground, and neutral. This is from the article "The Causes of Autism" (found at http://www.health-reports.com/ autism.html If you go there, there is a huge list on the left covering many more "diseases". This is the best I've seen, rational, and good advice about causes and effects. Anyone who has an autistic child should read the entire article - It's long, but written understandable, and filled with good information. The following is what I found there about my NT CD's.
"Neuroliminal Training Autism CD is next. When played during sleep nightly over a period of 90 days, this CD dissolves hidden or subconscious stressors that block everyday wellness and helps clear the path to healing and recovery. An earlier version has greatly assisted individuals and families worldwide over the past fifteen years, and the version our recommended supplier carries has been expanded and greatly improved with other healing modalities.
It combines: Sensory Motor Response therapy, a proprietary process that engages the subconscious mind and modifies brain waves. Reflected Hypnotic Induction, a form of hypnosis that's reconfigured into a powerful relaxation technique. Both of these are interwoven onto an CD, and meshed into an ocean soundtrack that optimizes repair during sleep.
This CD engages the subconscious mind and modifies brain waves, achieving results similar to bio-feedback or neural feedback therapy. In particular, it lowers the Theta brain wave thus increasing concentration and attention (as NASA proved in the 80's), and gradually raises SMR brain waves which creates greater focus.
Over time, listening to this CD gradually resolves allergy stress. Further, the subconscious is helped to release underlying emotional stressors. It encourages deep and peaceful sleep. It works to reduce allergy based stress - an enormous aid in assisting people living on the autistic/ADD spectrum. Releasing these stressors and modifying the brain waves helps reduce the hypersensitivity.
The ability to understand English is not a requirement to receive benefit from this CD. It works well for small children and infants. Unlike the SoundTherapy CD, headphones are not needed."

This site is new to me, and it seems to be very good, unbiased reporting. It covers many more mental and physical problems, and various "cures" and helpful information. A woman who has a 15 year old autistic girl has been using my NT for some time sent it to me. I'd advise anyone with virtually any health problems, go to this site and you may be surprised as I was at the very good non-biased information presented. I didn't have the time to go much further, and I'm sure that there's some product involved. I'll try to get to it by next week.

Reading further, I looked up fibromyalgia, and found Candida as possible cause of stress. Here's a simple test for Candida found there:
Simple Home Candida Test:
Try this simple test to see if you have Candida. First thing in the morning, before you put ANYTHING in your mouth, get a clear glass. Fill with water and work up a bit of saliva, then spit it into the glass of water. Check the water every 15 minutes or so for up to one hour. If you have a Candida yeast infection, you will see strings (like legs) traveling down into the water from the saliva floating on the top, or "cloudy" saliva will sink to the bottom of the glass, or cloudy specks will seem to be suspended in the water. If there are no strings and the saliva is still floating after at least one hour, you are probably Candida yeast free.
If you have a bunch of threads or cloudiness, and especially if it develops quickly, you can be pretty darn sure you have a serious case of Candida. A few threads or light cloudiness indicate not as serious an infestation. (Even I learn something new every day it seems.)
Simple Schizophrenia Therapy
What is schizophrenia? I think that the comic definition I heard from Lily Tomlin covers it well. If you talk to God, that's praying. If He talks back, that's schizophrenia. Actually, schizophrenia is not only hearing voices (often religious), but various sensual hallucinations. These can be hearing, seeing, feeling, etc. As the old saying goes. "Different strokes for different folks!"
Why it is often religious isn't known, and one theory held by followers of Edgar Cayce is that it is often a spirit "takeover" in effect. That foundation still sells an electrical static field that claims to remove the bad spirits.
The major cause of schizophrenia (and all mental problems) is stress. Stress is additive and builds up from the original "birth trauma" stress. There are three major stresses that are important in solving schizophrenia. These are nutritional stress, allergy stress, and mineral toxicity stress.
Of course there is no one simple cure for schizophrenia, and the Big Pharma drugs developed for it are not only dangerous, but ineffective as far as a "cure" is concerned. However, Neuroliminal Training (NT) can provide at least one part of the solution by lowering allergy stress. That's been proven over and over.
There is about a 40-50% chance that NT will solve the schizophrenia problems. Along with a hair analysis to determine mineral toxicity, and the megavitamin formula explained below, there is a better than 80% chance of solving schizophrenia. If a person is really smart, start taking up to 4 grams of ascorbic acid vitamin C a day, and over a year's time, your toxic minerals will disappear almost completely, and lower your stress accordingly. I did and it worked.
The original work on megavitamins for curing schizophrenia was done by Drs Abram Hoffer and Humphrey Osmond in 1965. They reasoned that since pellagra, a niacin deficiency disease, caused schizophrenia, perhaps the lack of niacin was a major factor. They proved that this was true, and "cured" hundreds of schizophrenic persons with the famous megavitamin formula.
Megavitamin Formula. This is a combination of 333 mg of vitamin C, 333mg of niacin (or niacinamide), 66 mg of B6, and 66 IU of vitamin E in each capsule. The patient is given three capsules three times a day. Unfortunately, this formula is no longr sold as above, so the individual parts of the formula need to be bought and combined, depending on how the niacin reacts on the individual.
Dr Carl Pfeiffer of the the Brain Bio Center at Princeton found that toxic levels of copper also could cause schizophrenia. This was the second leg of successful schizophrenia therapy. Carl was my mentor in the 80's, and a good friend. There is a family genetic factor that causes the uptake of copper way above normal. This is known as Wilson Syndrome. In addition there is now growing evidence that mercury (and other minerals) stress can be a factor in schizophrenia.
The third and perhaps last leg was Dr Marshall Mandell, a famous allergist, who coined the phrase "brain allergy". He discovered that certain allergies or sensitivities actually could cause schizophrenia and depression.
Linus Pauling, our only two time Nobel Prize winner coined the phrase "orthomolecular", meaning to correct (ortho) at the molecular level.
In my book "The Health Revolution", I have several case histories successfully dealt with using the orthomolecular therapies. In the book, there is considerable detail regarding each case, how it was treated, what progress was made along the way, and details of each step. This book is free if you join my newsletter group,
My success with virtually every schizophrenic patient was simple. On the initial visit, I started them on the megavitamin formula, and took a hair analysis. This covered two of the three bases on the first visit.
The following week, I had gotten the hair analysis back either confirming copper or other mineral toxicity, or ruling it out as a cause. The patients reaction to the megavitamin formula was apparent, and in many cases, good. However, we had not ruled out allergy/sensitivity as a factor. At this point, we started allergy testing if the symptoms indicated it. Much more detail in the book on this. This allergy testing was expensive, and time consuming, but not all patients required it, although some were definitely allergic as a "primary" cause.
After the first few years while still studying this fascinating subject, I found that I had cut my practice considerably. Normally, a psychologist has some 30-40 patients a week for a year or so, perhaps 80-100 patients per year. Using these new techniques, I needed over 500 cases a year to make the same income as I had made previously as a behaviorist. I rarely had to spend over 6 hours in therapy now. While orthomolecular therapy works, and works extremely well and fast, it's no way to get rich!
In over 20 schizophrenic cases, all the patients were "cured", and all but one taken off the psychotropic drugs which cause horrible side-effects. (The one exception was a college student who couldn't afford the allergy search, and who was so allergic that she actually got more schizophrenic on the generic type of drug she had been taking for years. We traced it to the ink on the capsule of the generic drug that was different to the one on the original. This case is detailed in the book.)
Speaking of those drugs, The Nassau County Health Clinic proved that when a schizophrenic patient takes the megavitamin formula WITH psychotropic drugs, the side effects are eliminated. The most severe is tardive dyskinesia, which causes shakiness and tremors of all types. This will affect 80% or more of all taking these drugs within several years. The megavitamin formula prevents this. Unfortunately this word is still not out to many psychiatrists, and they are still causing this problem.
Today, with many years of experience with EEG biofeedback (AKA neurofeedback), I'd start using the Neuroliminal Training (NT) along with the megavitamin formula, and do a hair analysis for copper and other toxic minerals. In a recent case in India, a schizophrenic man made such good progress that he was able to avoid the "usual" schizophrenic "treatment in that village. This consists of the village elders standing in a circle around the patient and beating the "evil spirits" out of him with long sticks. (Maybe Edgar Cayce wasn't so far wrong. I think that the schizophrenia came first, then the "evil spirits found it easy to invade.)
So, now you know the three major causes of schizophrenia.
The first step is to purchase both the "Special" NT CD NT package and a hair analysis. If you don't understand this, go back and re-read the above.
Then, CLICK HERE and download the article on Integrated 4 Part Therapy for Autism and Other Mental Problems. Read it and do it, and you can solve schizophrenia in virtually all such cases.
The last step is finding the vitamins and minerals for the megavitamin formula as explained above. Unfortunately, the complete original formula is no longer sold, so you have to combine as close as possible here from your local health food store.
Better Health For All
A year or so ago, I wrote an article "Integrated 4 Part Therapy for Autism". This article is simply a composite of knowledge I have gotten over 30 years of working with various mental and physical problems in Orthomolecular Medicine. It is actually very similar to such a therapy used in schizophrenia that was very successful in my practice some years back. However, I realize that it would beneficial in some parts at least to every one of my readers, even the most healthy can benefit from some parts of it.
The four parts are relatively simple to do at home with this article, and they are:
1. Getting out toxic minerals.
2. Lowering stress, particularly allergy stress and post traumatic stress
3. Getting needed nutrition for above stress
4. Getting the Digestive (gut) working correctly
Getting out toxic minerals. This is most important because these can actually kill brain cells and increase stress dramatically. In autism and depression, mercury and aluminum are the worst. In schizophrenia copper is a culprit, However, in most of the population today, the levels of toxic metals is huge compared to 50 years ago.
In the article I recommend ascorbic acid vitamin C, but if the person has a corn allergy (estimated about 20-30% of the population), then glutathione may be needed, particularly for autism and depression. The price is high, but coming down to around $30-50 per month (according to Mary Cavanaugh at
There are other forms of chelation materials including expensive EDTA et al at MD's offices.
The important thing is to get toxic minerals as low as possible as all cause stress.
Lowering stress: This can be done by using either Neurofeedback (NFB) or my Neuroliminal Training (NT). Both change brain waves, which seems to actually cure allergies if used long enough. Changing brain waves is slow, and is very costly using NFB, but only one cost using NT. There are other advantages besides affordable cost with NT as well.
1. All done at home (no clinic or "doctor time").
2. Try getting head sensors on an autistic kid (I have).
3. Simply turn on the CD player at bedtime, and off in the morning.
4. Neuroliminal incorporate different stress lowering therapies as well. Not possible with NFB.
Nutritional therapy: This is needed because of the stress connected with any of these problems (including most "normal" living) . Few get enough.
Digestive (gut) therapy: This is actually needed in at least 50-70% of the population. It is critical to many in getting vitamins B12 and K as well as needed amino acids and minerals into the body.
All these above are covered in detail in the article. Even those of you who are fairly healthy will benefit from one or more of those therapies. Please feel free to copy it and sent it to any friends or relatives who might benefit from it.
Normalization of Autism and other Mental Problems
For many mental "Problems", there is no real "cure", but even adult cases of autism can be "normalized" much better than most know. Few MD's even know much about autism, simply because they are not trained about nutrition in med school. Med schools that give courses in autism are still not common even for pediatricians, so, in all too many cases, these "experts" simply aren't.
Very few have any training in toxic minerals, and since mercury pollution is a major cause of autism, this lack of knowledge is a handicap to any "doctor" who tries to work with an autism patient. Now, add in the fact that a huge percentage of a pediatrician's income comes from giving vaccines (at least some with mercury in them still in spite of Big Pharma lies to the contrary).
Here's an important fact that many "experts" in autism do not know. There are two "natural" chemicals that can take out toxins, particularly mineral toxins from the blood. These are ascorbic acid vitamin C and glutathione. All the other animals except we primates manufacture vitamin C out of glucose "as needed" for infections, etc. We humans and other primates lost that ability 65 million years ago. Maybe we traded it for brains.
Autistic persons have very little glutathione (a molecule with three amino acids), and also little or no vitamin C intake. As a result, it is impossible to measure how much toxic minerals are in that body. You see, the liver cannot release these toxins back into the bloodstream UNTIL AND UNLESS some chemical that can take out these toxins is present in the bloodstream. Make sense?
What does this mean? Simply, any mineral analysis done on an autistic child will not be able to show mercury or any other minerals with any accuracy and a lot of false negatives will be the result. (A false negative means that the analysis shows little or no toxic material in the body, where in reality, the liver may be loaded with many such.
There's another fact that few MD's seem to know. If the vitamin C is in a neutral (non-acidic form - calcium or sodium ascorbate), it cannot take out minerals - only the ascorbic acid type can do this. (If the vitamin C has my last name, it's no good for getting out minerals.)
OK, how can these toxins be measured with any degree of accuracy? Start to load either vitamin C or glutathione (or both if you can afford it) into the person to be tested several days before testing if either blood or urine testing is used. If hair analysis is used, start at least a month prior to testing.
Another indirect method is to test the mother. Again, preload with ascorbic acid vitamin C, or the result may be a false negative. If the mother is high, so are her children.
All the above is important, because if this high toxic level continues in the person, it not only continues to damage the brain, and causes much stress, but prevents new brain cells from growing. So, this is the first "critical' step in "normalization".
The next step is to lower other stress, particularly allergy stress. Both Neurofeedback (NFB) and Neuroliminal Training (NT) have proven that raising the SMR brain wave changes allergies, and dramatically lowers this stress over a few months or more. In many cases, it seems the particular allergies have actually been lost, cured, or solved. Whatever, the level of allergy stress has been lowered dramatically, and when you lower that particular stress, most mental problems and symptoms lessen or even disappear. This has been the" "secret of success" that NFB has been for over 50 years with almost every mental problem known to man. (see http://www.drbate.com/content/eeg_proof.shtml)
The only real difference between NFB and NT is the cost. NFB costs many thousands of dollars for even ADD/ADHD, and much more for autism. NT costs only $147 total, and can (and should be) be used for years. Autism does not have to be a family bankruptcy disease.
Besides cost, there are a few other advantages of NT over NFB especially for autism:
It's done at home while sleeping mostly.
It's done without sensors attached. (Try getting sensors on a child with autism.)
There is no "concentration" or "attention" needed as in NFB.
Both of the above MUST be done to begin "normalization". If not done, there is very limited improvement in behavior or brain cell regeneration. Once these are started, then, nutritional improvement and getting the digestive system working correctly are relatively simple to "normalize", and in general, the results are dramatic.
Without the two most important steps above, few autistic children ever become even reasonably normal and most have high IQ's as well..
These two steps also apply "generally" to both schizophrenia and depression, as well as many other mental and even physical "diseases". Unfortunately, too few MD's are even aware of the above, simply because they couldn't get it in med school. Abram Hoffer put it best when he stated "Almost all MD's are "educationally handicapped".
How Accurate Is Scientific Testing?
What is meant by "peer reviewed"? What is so-called blind and double blind testing and how accurate is it? Why do "scientists" refuse to even look at anecdotal evidence?
Peer Reviewed: What this means is that persons just like the person who wrote the report thought it was accurate. Doesn't this mean that those peers are just as "educationally handicapped" as the person who wrote the report. Or, is it merely a friend who thinks like you? There have been at least 4 "peer reviewed" articles in various medical journals proving that vitamin C is not useful against cold and flu viral infections. All of them are false, yet believed by many, particularly the persons aimed at (Medical Doctors).
From the books and studies that Medical Doctors have received in Med School, they believe that 75 mg of vitamin C is a "good" Required Daily Allowance (RDA). This is the best example I know of, for "educationally handicapped" as a label for MD's.
Of all the animals, we primates lost one enzyme some 65 million years ago. That particular enzyme was crucial as it is needed to transform blood sugar (glucose) into ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Virtually all other animals actually manufacture vitamin C as needed. It just so happens we do have a good reliable "tested" RDA for a 150 pound primate - an ape whose need for vitamin is the same as ours. WOW! That figure is 4000 mg. And that is just an average. If that ape gets sick, it may be10 times that figure
Here's another fact. Virus and bacteria multiply in the blood by binary - that is, they double about every 20 minutes. That means that in 200 minutes, the amount of virus cells can go from 1 to over 1000, and in another 200 minutes to a million. Yes, billion and then trillion are next.
The "phony" Vitamin C reports were either only 1000mg (1 gram) or less. That's per hour. By the time that symptoms are bad enough for notice by the person, they are in the billions. This means that 1000 mg simply cannot kill off even half of the virus cells.
For arguments sake, let's say that this amount does kill of half of the invading cells. In 20 minutes, you're back to the original levels, and in 40 minutes, it's twice the original, and by the time the hour has passed, you're up to double the original, and another 1 gram won't kill more than a quarter. Binary is very fast multiplication.
I am totally against vaccines of any kind. Do you know what I do that stops a cold or virus immediately? I take 4 grams of vitamin C every 15 minutes. By the half hour or so, all symptoms are gone, and I often have to go no further, but I then take one every 15 minutes to just "mop up" any hidden survivors. Much cheaper and much less problem than any drugs.
All those "peer reviewed" studies were false because of the lack of "correct" knowledge not taught in medical schools. Any MD"s who learn such do so on their own, and it takes exceptional persons to do that.
Blind and Double Blind testing: This the "common" test where there is an actual drug, and a "placebo" (sort of sugar pill harmless and ineffective - supposedly). The placebo is the "control", and the drug is tested for how effective it is as opposed to the "nothing" pill.
In 1948, I met Joseph Banks Rhine at Duke, had dinner with he and his wife and spent the night in his spare bedroom. (For those who don't know about Joe, he invented the term Extra Sensory Perception. In 1932, his book "The Mind of Man" created a furor. Psychologists called him a quack whose mathematics were wrong. Mathematical PhD's claimed they didn't believe him either, but his math was perfect. Joe actually started his testing of ESP to debunk it, and wound up proving that it did exist and wasmuch more valid that thought.
Joe and I had corresponded,as I had done a lot of research over a year or more using his 'Rhine Cards"). All my testing of various subjects had proven to me that hypnosis could increase ESP ability. Joe's testing in his lab showed exactly the opposite. We argued (not fought) until 2 in the AM, but couldn't find any way that either of us was either wrong or right.
Years later in writing my doctoral thesis, I decided to write it on hypnosis, and in the course of my reading, I found several different tests where one hypnotist got one answer and another got a different answer. That is Professor A did test A, and got result A. Professor B did test A but got result B. This led me to the answer.
Look at 2 very well proven postulates in hypnosis and ESP.
1. A hypnotized person has an almost "insane" desire to please the hypnotist.
2. ESP does exist, and the unconscious mind knows much more than we do.
Now, if those two postulates are true and well proven, as they both are albeit in differing sciences. Here are a few conclusions that can be seen.
1. At least some of the tested in blind and double blind know unconsciously what the experimenter wants to prove, (and also which pill they got) and they will strive to give him/her that result. I wanted to prove that ESP was improved in some by hypnosis, yet Joe wanted to prove the opposite. We both got what we wanted. (I was very sorry that he had died before I figured that out as he would have been as delighted with it as I was.)
2. Now let's look at the opposite. Suppose that many of the persons involved for some reason don't like the experimenter. Now, that gets wrong results.
I do not believe that there is any such thing as "blind" or even "multiple blind". Joe proved most of that years ago. Too bad his research has been largely forgotten.
Anecdotal Evidence: This is anything that is not "proven" by the above "scientific" research. In other words, just because there are a hundred similar stories of how a certain "thing" cured someone of something, that's not proven evidence.
I have to agree that one or even 2 cases aren't proof, but when the numbers reach over 100, or even 10, that's evidence that should not be ignored. I work within the limits of the unconscious mind, and there are many things that cannot be measured and researched in that area. That does not mean that they are false.
My Neuroliminal Training has definitely solved at least 4 known allergies that were impacting my life. (The FDA forbids me to say the "cure" word - how's that for nonsense? I have hundreds of anecdotes for the same allergy experiences from many people. How can you test scientifically the unconscious mind? No two are the same in the first place. I found out that with Joe and I and our tests that proved conclusively that we were both right, and both wrong at the same time.
Of course, I haven't even touched on the MD 'whores" that when paid by Big Pharma falsify tests.
Do I trust any medical or drug testing at this time? Very little - now you know my reasons.
What is the "Unconscious" Mind?
There are thousands of theories about what the unconscious mind is what it can and cannot do. Some believe that it is the "soul" of the person, and is unique to we humans. It separates us from the "lower" animals on this planet. Others believe further that it makes us unique in the universe, but in my opinion (IMO), that's just our ego. The plain facts are that we live on a minor mud ball in a minor galaxy out of the center of the Universe as we know it. There are millions of worlds that may have life forms that are similar to ours with more or less brains and abilities to think and create.
The plain and simple truth is that no one knows. And few even suspect the awesome power of the unconscious. We do know that it can "cure" a person, or "kill" that same person in different circumstances. We know that it may be affected by life experiences, hypnosis, and/or subliminal repetition. We also know that traumatic life events can cause future problems, even seemingly unrelated problems, including allergies! Why and how is just a part of what we don't know.
We also know that as the mind thinks, it emits signals generated by different neurons in the brain moving around as we think and act. Different frequencies are involved in certain areas, and most of these are in the audible range. This movement has been called "A Symphony in the Brain" and there's even a book with that title, about this "brain orchestra". We only have a small amount of knowledge about even these brain waves. And, a lot of "wrong" ideas about some of these as well.
The composite of all these constantly changing brain wave "notes" is always present, although this "orchestra" of different notes and waves of notes composes the full spectrum of what we call "audible sound" These notes that make up these waves are so very weak that it takes expensive equipment to amplify such brain waves enough so that we can use them in EEG Biofeedback (AKA Neurofeedback), The raising of the strength of one band of such frequencies (SMR - 12-14 Hz), and the lowering of another (Theta - 4-8 Hz) is used in both Neurofeedback and Neuroliminal Training to solve allergy stress and to increase "attention/concentration" ability. Both systems are equally effective in solving these "brain problems". What do other higher frequencies do? We simply don't know (yet). There are many theories some widely opposite and others differing.
As a sidelight to these brain waves, we also know that they only begin in human babies around the 24th to 26th week of pregnancy. Up to that time, there are no brain waves present. This is one of the general arguments against 3rd trimester abortion. This theory has the soul or the unconscious/subconscious mind entering that infant body making it a "human being" at that point, and up to then, it is simply an animal body, and not a human life. (Different religions have different ideas).
This theory has one fallacy. Animals show brain waves at appropriate times in their gestation, so perhaps, this has nothing to do with the "soul" ,if such even exists.
Scientists have labeled this entity as the "unconscious" or "subconscious", but this part of the mind is neither of these things. We have labeled this part of the mind according to our ego and for our convenience. It would be better named "superconscious", as this part of our mind is the real "control" of what we are; what we do (and not do); how we react to various stimuli of living, etc.
Our ego makes us think our conscious mind is in control of our actions, but that's simply not true. Our conscious mind is constantly controlled by our unconscious.
There are many theories about this "soul" part of the unconscious. The one I like is from Jung. It theorizes a "universal" mind, perhaps the minds of all of earth, or even of earth itself. All these minds are one conglomerated entity in effect, composed of all the (unconscious) minds that exist now or have ever existed. Perhaps this "universal mind" is another name for God, or Nature, or whatever - a force that is mostly unknowable by we humans.
I wonder why this is?
The evidence of supernatural "powers", and "abilities" of some "gifted persons" is simply overwhelming. What is called miracle(s) may be only another different manifestation of this universal mind.
Thomas Sugrue, the author of the well-written biography of Edgar Cayce, named his book, "There is a River". There is no question that Cayce was able to "tap into" this river of unconscious knowledge, even though he didn't understand how he did it, how it worked, and most of the knowledge he received while in "trance".
But, in over 20,000 writings of medical diagnosis, he was never proven wrong. That's impressive.
There have been many prophets over time that accurately foretold the future besides Cayce. Nostradamos and many others, biblical and secular have done what may be called miracles by lesser folk. (Hypnosis was a "miracle" to me). An automobile or airplane or TV would be a miracle to primitive persons.)
A lot of hardheaded scientific folk tend to scoff at all such "anecdotal" evidence, and refuse to even look as anything that they cannot verify by sight, feel, hearing, or by effect on something else. They tend to forget how much our physical senses are actually limited. Most insects are much stronger than us, can jump or fly. Cats can see better than in poor light. We are not "super" beings insofar as our physical senses are concerned, but we have learned to think better than all others.
But, even with the hard heads, evidence is piling up that's hard to ignore. In the fields of EEG Biofeedback Training and subliminal training, we now know that by changing the amplitudes of certain brain waves, large changes in several aspects of some person's lives and personalities are also changed. A huge amount of research over the past 50 years has shown clearly that this simple therapy can solve many of the "brain problems" such as the ADD-Autism continuum, depression in all forms, insomnia, epilepsy, addictions and even schizophrenia.
The Autonomic Nervous System.
If we accept the concept of a "universal mind", then we have to look at two parts of this mind:
A computer part (called the Autonomous Nervous System or ANS). This system controls the "housekeeping" functions automatically. The "universal mind" (soul?) part that is in some type of communication with that universe (whatever or wherever it may be).
(Could Freud have been on the right track? Are there three parts to the mind, with limited or poor communication between them?)
If we look at the computer (ANS) part, we find that the analogy is pretty good. If a computer virus gets in, it can screw up normal programs. If a bad "ideation" gets into the human computer mind part, it can also screw up normal programs. If we get garbage in as data, then we get garbage out as behavior.
Most people think that computers are smart, but the plain fact is that all computers are very dumb. They only do exactly what we tell them to do, and if we program them wrong, we get wrong answers. (We could wish that they would always do what we want instead of what we actually ask, but that would undoubtedly be even more frustrating.)
There has to be a definite separation between the computer (ANS) part of the unconscious mind and the Universal mind. And we have to add to both of these "entities" the factor of INDIVIDUALITY.
This is a concept that many MD's don't fully understand. They are trained to get height and weight, and prescribe according to "volume" of the patient. This "gross" measure, which does not take into account individuality, is often wrong.
Let's consider the programming of the computer (ANS) first. There is a genetic component, which varies the basic program accordingly.
Then, there is a "learned" component, which provides several other variables. All this "data" combined determines your health in dozens of ways. How much of a particular nutrient you, as an individual require, how a deficiency of any kind will affect you as an individual.
What your immune responses will be. How it is, and how it will be, what diseases you are liable to get, etc.
The Orthomolecular Theory of Sickness has 3 conditions necessary for sickness or poor health.
NUTRITIONALLY DEFICIENT OR TOXIC. Our modern diet leaves all of us somewhat nutritionally deficient, and many persons are toxic due to environmental pollution.
STRESS. In our world, who doesn't have stress. The caveman only had a few real emotional stresses. We face saber-toothed tigers every day just driving down a street.
PREDISPOSITION. What is your family history, and what has your unconscious mind (ANS) learned as you've gone thru life?
This theory made sense to me the first time I heard of it. If the body chemistry (nutrition) isn't correct, the immune system can't work right. If there is stress present, then the body needs even more good nutrition to handle it. (A downward spiral in effect - stress causing more deficiency, and more deficiency causing more symptoms/illness causing even more stress.)
The particular illness that may affect you from this stress is determined by the predisposition. One person gets chronic headaches, another gets heart problems, and another gets cancer. Life is a big crap game with loaded dice.
So, to become an orthomolecular clinician, I found that I had to learn about nutrition down to the chemical and biological level. I also had to become an "expert" in allergy, and sensitivity, as this is a huge factor in stress. I found myself in the early 80's reading from 3-6 books a week, with another 3-6 on order from libraries around the country.
There are still few to no schools or universities devoted to this science, and what nutrition is taught is often poor to wrong.
"Nutritionists" and "dieticians" are still being taught that the basic four food groups are "good" nutrition in many schools.
A meal at McDonalds can be "good" by this measure! MD's get at most one hour on nutrition (with very little time on vitamins and minerals and other supplements compared to thousands of hours on pharmacology (drug use).
Few psychologists know (or care) anything about allergy/sensitivity, thus cannot deal effectively with any of the more serious brain problems of ADD/ADHD, Autism, insomnia, epilepsy, depression and schizophrenia.
Both MD's and PhD's are "educationally handicapped". At least half of what they learned in school is at least partially false, but they are "programmed" to follow it because of their education.
Oh well, it was the same in the Middle Ages, and even recently (in history), any doctor who didn't bleed his patients was called a quack. Looking at the history of medicine, you'll find that; virtually all-major advances in medical science were done by a doctor who was called a quack by his contemporaries. I'm proud to have been called a quack. I'm in excellent company!

Well, the www.drbate.com newly revised website is up and running. There are still some revisions in the web pages and articles (all of which are free), but that is proceeding nicely. Want to know drug free therapies for thyroid, hypertension, cancer, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, insomnia, ADD to Autism, and much more, try it out for yourself. We'll be adding an affiliate program soon as well, and also we'll have a bonus to anyone who recommends us to others. Watch for these new additions.
A friend of mine that had visited the old website actually told me that she spent over 2 hours on the new one, and was amazed at what she missed previously. Organization is much better now.
Solving Health Problems Using the Unconscious Mind
Stress is a major cause of all disease, and this stress is stored in the unconscious or subconscious mind. (Either description is the same phenomenon.) Our egos would like to believe that our "conscious" mind is in charge, but that just isn't the case. The unconscious mind really controls much more of us than we would like to admit. And the stress stored there affects us in many ways. If you can lower any of that stress, you can solve various health problems.
Allergy stress is a major portion of stress, and in addition, allergies can cause direct mental and physical symptoms. I have seen a case where a very small amount of wheat caused schizophrenia in a former soldier. While many practitioners of Neurofeedback (aka EEG Biofeedback) aren't aware of this ,NFB actually seems to cure various allergies by simply raising the SMR brain Wave (12-15 Hz) amplitude, and that explains the tremendous success of NFB for virtually all mental problems from insomnia to schizophrenia. Neuroliminal Training (NT) does the same thing using subliminal messaging in sleep therapy, and brings the cost of this type of therapy down to a fraction of the NFB cost. In addition, to the cost factor, there are several other advantages as well. It's easily done all at home, and that is a huge advantage, especially with ADD to Autism cases. Other subliminal messages that can lower stress can be incorporated which cannot be done using NFB. Here's a "cute" way to use the unconscious mind to solve atrial fibrillation. At 83 years of age (last year), I had had "atrial fib" for about 25 years, and refused to use medication. Last year I thought up a cute idea. I used my computer to play the newest one of my NT CD's at a moderate level. I then found a metronome on the web, and played it along with the CD at a level just above that. I set ;up the rate at 72 beats per minute, and it played all night long with the NT CD. After two weeks, my pulse rate was almost steady. I went for a week without the metronome, and then repeated the same as above. Now, my pulse settled down to a steady 72 beats per minute, and my blood pressure went down to 120/70. Was the atrial fib solved by the metronome alone, or was the combination of the new "Special" NT CD part of the solution? Frankly I haven't any idea. If there is anyone out there with atrial fib, how about trying just the metronome along for a month and see what happens. If nothing, I will give ;you a 50% discount on the Special NT CD to try both together. It worked for me.
In the case above, I simply reasoned that somehow the unconscious had "lost" the "directions" for a good pulse rate, and the metronome simply supplied that again, and solved the problem. Or, could it be that the Special NT CD got the unconscious to be aware of the pulse beat? I don't know, but what I do know is that it has worked for me with atrial fib well over 10 years old, and greatly improved my health overall. I believe that working with the unconscious mind is quite simple, and should not bankrupt the family or person using it.
The Very Important but Overlooked Vitamin K
Very few people are even aware of this "overlooked" vitamin. Do you know much about it? It's critical to good health. Here's a few of the facts that make it so important:
1. About of 80% of the Vitamin K that you need is actually manufactured by the "friendly" (but lethal) bacteria that is in your digestive system (gut). It is now estimated that at least 75% of the US population does NOT have a good working gut.
2. Vitamin K is the precursor needed to make two blood hormones. One clots blood when wounded, and the other stops clotting. If cut or wounded, both work to initially flush out the wound, and then to clot. Most people do not bleed enough to flush the cut/wound today.
3. If your gut isn't working correctly, then a "priority" system works, and it is more important to clot wounds, so the hormone that stops clotting is "shorted".
4. If you are cut or wounded, a clot. or piece of one, may break off and go to the heart, and cause a heart attack. Or, go to the brain and cause a stroke.
5. Prescription antibiotics all are made from yeast/fungus, and attack the friendly bacteria in the gut, but don't affect the fungus and yeast, so this leads to an imbalance in the gut. Antibiotics have saved lives, but there is this "downside" which is not well known, and Candida (yeast overgrowth) has become an epidemic unknown to most.
Years ago, Abram Hoffer (President of the Orthomolecular Society) and I discussed how we could find statistics for stroke and heart attack prior to the discovery of antibiotics, but decided that no such statistics could be found at this date. You see, given that 80-90 percent of the population does not have a fully functioning gut system BECAUSE of antibiotics, they are short in this overlooked vitamin. Very few people take supplemental Vitamin K, and from the above, most should.
What is a good gut system that provides sufficient vitamin K? How can you tell if you have such?
The first clue is "how much does your body smell"? Do you need deodorants? Do you have bad breath? Do your farts smell? If your gut is working as it's supposed to, the answers to all 3 questions is "no". If anyone is "yes", then your gut isn't quite right.
How do you get it right? That's a bit different for every individual, but the general answer is enough probiotics (Lactobacillus Acidophilous) to restore the balance between bacteria and yeast/fungus in your gut. Any time you take an antibiotic from Big Pharma, it is made from yeast/fungus. It may help you with a bacteria infection in your body, but when it gets to the gut, it kills off the bacteria there that is doing the work, and the yeast starts taking over the areas normally "reserved" for that bacteria, and less and less of various items manufactured by that bacteria are made. This includes Vitamin K, and several other vitamins, and also provides the "intrinsic factor" that allows Vitamin B12, (a very complex vitamin) to get into the body.
So, antibiotics (from Big Pharma) are not only life saving, but also dangerous to your health. There are alternatives. First, there is plain cheap ascorbic acid Vitamin C. It kills bacteria and virus cells in the blood stream. Since both bacteria and virus cells use a binary system, and multiply by doubling every 20 minutes or so, it simply takes large amounts of vitamin C to even begin to control such infections. As an example, whenever I even feel that I might be getting a virus cold or flu, I start taking 4000mg every 15 minutes, and usually, by the first half hour or so, I'm completely free of the virus. Vitamin C does not destroy the bacteria in the gut, as it passes out via the urine pathway.
There is another antibiotic that attacks both bacteria and yeast, but there's no patent, so Big Pharma discourages MD's and hospitals from using it. It's Colloidal Silver, and IMO, it is the best attack against the "superbugs" that are mutations resistant to normal antibiotics. It's been used against MRSA and other super bacterias successfully. Big Pharma would like to suppress that information.
So, going back to getting your gut balanced with good bacteria colonies. The best way is to overwhelm the yeast fungus with Acidophilous. The usual ratio I use is 10% of your weight is the number of capsules you need to work up to. (If you weigh 150 pounds, use 15 capsules at one time.)
Do that dosage every other day for 5 times with a day between. However, start much smaller with 2-5 capsules first to see if you get cramps and gas from killing off the yeast. I get only 5-8 billion bacteria capsules from the fridge at my local health food store.
Wait for a day, and see if there are cramps or gas (indicating the killing of yeast which makes for methane gas). If none, or small reaction, go to the 10% figure of capsules every other day for at least 5 times or until your feces looks very light in color, and has much less smell. That should take from 5 to 10 steps in the series with one day in between.
Now, any time that you notice body smell or bad breath smell, take one dose, and if that is not enough, go to two doses. Of course, repeat the whole regimen whenever you take any prescribed antibiotic.
If you do the above, here's a few of the benefits of a good gut:
1. Much less chance of a stroke or heart attack from a clot.
2. Dangerous deodorants are not needed except in rare cases.
3. Much better health with B12 and other vitamins in good supply.
The Obviously Toxic Bisphenol A
How can BPA be toxic in Canada, but safe in the US?
More and more studies conclude that BPA is toxic. Canada has declared BPA toxic. Denmark and France have restricted BPA use in numerous products. Learn more about BPA and how you can reduce exposure to this obviously toxic chemical.
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a first generation derivative of benzene, a highly toxic petroleum-based chemical. Due to the overwhelming number of studies regarding BPA toxicity, last fall Canada declared BPA as toxic so their government can begin the process of banning the chemical in consumer goods. We can only hope that the studies are soon taken seriously by the US government, and a ban is enacted soon. Until then, all we can do is share the information and avoid the products to reduce our exposure to this obviously toxic plastic additive.
Over six thousand study summaries regarding BPA on the National Library of Medicine web site. Almost all of them show some sort of human malady caused by exposure to BPA.
Maternal and post-natal exposure increases the risk of breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, testicular cancer, hypospadias, undescended testicles, breast tissue development in males, obesity, asthma and metabolic syndrome with conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high LDL cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol as well as low birth weight and miscarriage and reduced fertility in offspring.
After birth, the associations include all of the above, since there is no definitive proof as to when DNA damage associated with BPA exposure occurs. In addition, BPA exposure reduces sperm quality and count and may be responsible for polycystic ovarian syndrome and endometriousis.
Can linings BPA is a very powerful endocrine disruptor. Exposure effects hormonal and enzymes associated with normal bodily functions. As an endocrine disruptor, BPA blocks activities, increases activity or restricts activity in normal cell function such as estrogen, androgen, insulin as well as cell programming for replication and death. Studies are currently being done to determine how much exposure is safe.
According to a study done by researchers at Silent Spring, BPA exposure can be dramatically reduced by changes in purchasing decisions regarding food packaging and storage. The following solutions will help you reduce exposure to this powerful endocrine disrupting chemical:
BPA-free plastics are now more widely available. Avoid plastics with the 7 code - these have the highest concentration of BPA. Never heat food in a microwave using plastic - always use glass. When plastics are heated, BPA leaches more easily into the food. Choose stainless steel, glass and ceramic food containers. Choose to use glass with a plastic lid, even though the code on the lid is 7 - just don't let the lid touch the food.
Choose food packaged in glass containers. Unless specifically stated on the container, expect that BPA was used in the plastic containers. Choose foods packaged in glass, or more preferably, fresh foods rather than foods packaged in cans. Unless specifically stated on the can, the resin used to line the can is made with BPA.

Depression, Causes and Cures
While depression is mostly caused by an overload of stress, there are also genetic pointers towards it. If you have depression in your family, you may be pre-disposed towards depression with enough stress. You cannot change your genetic factors, but you can definitely lower your stress. Since stress is additive and if "abnormal" stress is present, the person may not be able to handle "normal" or everyday stress of just living and become depressed.
Remember that all stress is "additive". This means that every "trauma" you have experienced in your life, from the "birth trauma" up to today (that car that swerved and almost hit you. or something similar), all are contributing to your individual stress. Generally speaking, we humans are equipped to handle such "everyday" stress. However, there is an "individual" limit, and when that limit is reached, depression results for many of those individuals.
The two largest forms of stress that cause most depressions are actually somewhat "hidden" from most persons. These are stress caused by allergy/sensitivity and mineral toxicity (mostly mercury today). Both are generally unknown to the afflicted person. In the many cases of depression I solved in my former orthomolecular practice, unsuspected allergy stress was about 75% and mercury or other toxic minerals was about 20%, with a few cases in different categories. (Today arsenic from pesticides is becoming more of a problem and lead is much less).
Another form of stress is nutritional deficiency. Stress requires more vitamins and amino acids than "normal", so these nutritional shortages may cause Leaky Gut Syndrome, where the gut "leaks" more into the body than it should. This can cause bacteria to pass and the brain develops an allergy to some food. Adding more allergy stress - a sort of downward spiral into further depression. This can be a part of the overall problem and should not be overlooked.
There are dozens of symptoms that may be a part of individual depression. Anxiety or insomnia are both forms of depression. A very common early symptom is insomnia. A common practice lately seems to be to "name" most depression as "bi-polar" simply because that diagnosis makes it easy for medical insurance to pay the doctor. True "bi-polar" is when the patient goes from a "high" manic state into a deep depressed state, and this is relatively rare.
Solving Stress Factors
First and simplest - lower the allergy stress. Neurofeedback(NFB) and my Neuroliminal Training (NT) do this by basically raising the SMR brain wave in amplitude (strength). This "somehow" seems to cure allergies over time. It may take months or even years, but eventually it works. It took over 3 years for me to lose every known allergy I had including peanuts, soy, wheat, and ragweed. The newest versions of NT seem to be much faster.
This is the reason for Neurofeedback's excellent record of success over many years. However, for NFB success, it takes dozens or hundreds of half hour sessions, and that costs thousands of dollars, where NT does the same thing for the cost of the NT CD which can be used for years. Compare NFB for just ADD/ADHD. 60 sessions in a clinic costs an average over $5000. NT costs $147, and does the same thing in about the same time. (Isn't that a "no-brainer"?)
Next, in this ever increasing pollution world of ours, you are probably loaded with levels of toxic minerals, and other chemicals much higher than the average levels found a generation ago. The mercury levels of all of us have doubled or tripled in the last 30 years. It's now in the air, soil, and sea. That old standby - tuna fish - is loaded with mercury today compared to your mother's day. The curve of increasing mercury in the body of most people matches the curve of the growth of autism as an "epidemic". That's 1 in 10,000 births 40-50 years ago to 1 in under a 100 today. That mercury in the mother is in the baby at birth, and that tiny liver is already overloaded to the point where when a vaccine is added with a preservative (mercury or aluminum), the liver cannot take it out, and brain damage is done - autism is the result.
In practice 20 years ago, I found mercury was only 20-25% of the cause of depression. That level was from amalgams of mercury in teeth, and other sources (living near a power plant that used coal as fuel is a major one). Taking out those amalgams and replacing with plastic was a solution then. I suspect that today, these increased levels of mercury are much higher, and may be more of a major cause than it was then.
Surprisingly, getting rid of these mineral toxins is relatively simple as well. Big Pharma doesn't want anyone to know this, as they are making money out of "sickness", but simply raising your intake level of ascorbic acid vitamin C takes out these toxins. In virtually all other animals on this planet, vitamin C is manufactured AS NEEDED from glucose in the blood. All primates (Us and the apes) lost this ability 65 million years ago. We can "exist" on as little as 75 mg per day, but that is just enough to prevent deficiency. I found years ago that a 150 pound ape in a zoo has an "RDA" of 4000 mg a day (4 grams). I've been taking 2 grams at breakfast, and 2 grams at dinner, and taking my megavitamin and other minerals at noon (The C takes out all minerals, including toxic ones, then you need to replace the nutritional ones - yes, it's a "klunky" way, but the only way we know to date.)
I've been taking that 4 grams a day for a couple of years, and my toxic minerals (Including mercury) are "unmeasurable" with arsenic only barely showing up at all. (I buy fruits and veggies from a Hispanic fruit stand, and most such produce comes from Central and south America where pesticides are commonly used. So, who cares? Not me!)
So, start taking that basic ascorbic acid vitamin C, and in a year or less, you will not be affected by the mercury in your teeth or in vaccines or in your environment. One caution. Calcium and sodium Ascorbate types of "neutral" pH vitamin C cannot take out mineral toxins, as they are already an ascorbate form. Only the acidic form can do this.
There are two more therapies covering nutrition and digestion that also lower stress. A year or so ago, I wrote an article "Integrated 4 Part Therapy for Autism" that covered the above plus nutrition and digestive issues. I have since realized that anyone with any mental problem can benefit from following these 4 therapies. They all lower stress in different ways, and when you lower stress, you solve the particular mental problem(s). The article can be downloaded free from http://drbate.com/Ref/ articles.html
Allergies
There are two rules for all allergies (including "sensitivities or intolerances").
Rule 1. Any Allergy can cause any symptom or any "disease".
Rule 2. There are no other rules.
Only a few "guidelines". (Look at wheat, corn, milk, peanuts, soy first.)
There is a fairly good list of symptoms/diseases that may be caused by allergy at http://drbate.com/Ref/allergy. html
In the early 80's I joined with Dr Von Hilsheimer at the Klotz allergy clinic in Winter Park FL, and we introduced the End Point Titration (EPT) system of finding and "fixing" allergies for mental problems. The MD allergists did not even know or believe that allergy can cause schizophrenia or depression, and we kept surprising them, proving that a lot of mental disease is caused by allergy stress if not by direct allergy. (MD's are perhaps the most "educationally handicapped" persons on earth.)
EPT is perhaps the best of all "regular" testing for finding and fixing allergies, but it is horribly expensive in MD time, patient time, etc. It can cost upwards of $10,000 for all tests in a clinic, and a lot of time. The "regular" allergy shots used by many MD allergists today are only about 50% successful.
Luckily, there is a much simpler and less costly method of removing allergy stress, if not actually curing allergies. Both Neurofeedback, and Neuroliminal Training actually seem to cure all known allergies if used for six months or more.
Both NFB and NT raise the brain wave now known as SMR in amplitude and this "somehow" seems to "cure" allergies. How and/or why is still unknown. And, what's so ironic, almost no clinics using NFB are even aware that this is what solves so many mental problems as well as physical ones. You see, NFB is so expensive in the continuing expensive clinical visits required, that once a "problem" is solved, this therapy is discontinued as too expensive.
NT, on the other hand is so soothing for sleep that it is continued for months at a time for most, and since it costs nothing to do this after the original CD is purchased, this extended usage solves many more problems of allergy and other health problems.
Here's the real kicker - All stress is additive, and allergy stress on the unconscious mind is is much greater than has been suspected. By getting rid of this allergy stress, the unconscious mind operates much better, particularly the immune system controlled by it.
Remove this allergy stress, and the "apparent disease" goes away, or is greatly improved.
This is true for such horrible diseases as depression and schizophrenia. Stress is the real "killer" and disease cause - and all stress is additive, from the birth trauma up to that mouse or insect "scare" you had last week. A caveman only had to worry about saber toothed tigers or alien cavemen, but you and I have hundreds of tigers in effect just driving down the street. (Using up adrenaline.)
Remove any part of this stress, and you need less nutrition to deal with the "load", and your unconscious mind now works better. It's just that simple.
There are several more benefits of NT over NFB besides a huge cost difference. It's all done at home. Simply turn on a CD player (set to Loop. or repeat) when person goes to bed, and turn off when awake. (Some play it as background to whatever they are doing during the day.). For an autistic child, it's much better than Neurofeedback. No need to concentrate on a video screen consciously, and no sensors or helmet. (Ever tried to glue sensors on a head of an autistic child? I have.)
There's still another benefit for some. Allergies are often "tied" to addictions. For example, I love any form of bread, and I was allergic to wheat, and it caused me to weight 75 pounds over my "ideal" weight. Losing this allergy, made me (and most others) lose 5 pounds per month with no diet or exercise changes. (No diet to "come off" and gain it all back). One man told me that he simply quit smoking without any problems after using NT for 3-4 months.
Years ago, a psychiatrist for the Ontario prisons (Dr Quirk) did an experiment using NFB. He trained prison inmates in using the NFB biofeedback machine, and they trained a part of the Ontario Canada prison population. The recidivism rate dropped from around 70% to about 15%. Unfortunately this research died unpublished.
In my latest volunteer test, every person that responded after at least 2 months usage improved in some, or many, ways. Some of the testimonials of this group may be found at http://drbate.com/Ref/special. html
So, do you and yours want to feel better, sleep better, and live longer in better health overall? That's up to you. If you aren't doing better after 60 nights of use, simply return for refund. Isn't that what's called a "no-brainer"?
I am indebted to Julie Machado of Int Psy for the info on DCA which may be the best of all cancer "cures".
Cancer Cures That Work Better than Conventional Therapy
Most people are scared of cancer. Particularly if your family has had cancer deaths previously. That genetic "weakness", predisposes your family, somewhat, to cancer.
Before we start, you need to learn just a little about cancer. What is cancer? It's a lot of different things in different places in the human body, but basically, it's human cells that have been modified or mutated from normal growth to cancerous growth.
How does this modification or mutation happen? A major cause of these mutations is "free radicals". You've heard this term before as it's received a lot of media attention. So, what are free radicals? They occur whenever some nutrient in the bloodstream is oxidized. The oxidation process releases a hydrogen ion which whizzes around until it hits something. In some cases, the cell it hits may become modified and become a cancer cell, reproducing itself and growing within the body. There's no pain involved, so chances are, the person doesn't have a clue that it's happening.
What can we do about these free radicals? Simple - keep our diet high in anti-oxidants! An anti-oxidant is a food nutrient that tends to prevent oxidation within the blood. This is a major step in PREVENTING cancer.
Anti-oxidants come in a variety of shapes and sizes and all work to suppress free radicals by preventing oxidation in the blood. Some also do other things and there is some synergism as well.
Synergism is very important in nutrition. It's where 1 + 1 = 3 - in other words, a combination of nutrients works much better than any one of them alone, or "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts"!
There are several vitamins that are anti-oxidants. Vitamins A, C and E are the most common. Vitamin A is also good for vision and a deficiency causes night blindness.
Vitamin C is well known, but did you know that it's a viricide AND a bactericide (kills both bugs!) in the blood. Because it does so many jobs, it has to be taken in much larger doses than most people realize. (I recommend for most adults 4 grams - 4000 mg per day as a MINIMUM.) To illustrate this amount, an orange has about 70 mg of vitamin C. While it may prevent scurvy, it isn't even close to what we humans need in today's world.
Vitamin E also does lots of things in addition to being one of the best anti-oxidants. It helps to prevent blood clots (and therefore strokes). For diabetics, it helps to improve circulation, in the extremities. So, if you have cancer in your family, I recommend at least 400 IU per day of vitamin E to help prevent neuropathy, and increase this as you get past 40.
Perhaps one of the best "prevention and cure" agents of prostate and breast cancers is the enzyme CoQ10. It has been reliably reported that using 300+ mg of this every day has actually cured both these cancers in a few reported cases. It should be noted here that there only cancers that are mediated by hormones seem to be affected by CoQ10. Cancers mediated by virus are vulnerable to vitamin C.
There are lots of other anti-oxidants including the whole family of bioflavinoids. Besides these anti-oxidants, there are other natural substances that help to prevent cancer. Remember Laetrile? It was touted as a cancer cure, but pretty well discredited some years ago. I'm not sure exactly what the story was, but I do know that Edgar Cayce in one of his "readings" said "to prevent cancer - eat two or three almonds per day". Almonds contain Laetrile. I don't know for sure if it helps, but I like almonds, so I eat some as a snack a few times a week.
Let's not forget fiber! Some cancer may be started from poisonous stuff that wasn't disposed of properly in your waste system. See Digestion concerning fiber and gut actions for more. So, those horrible ads for breakfast cereals aren't all hype. Whole grains contain fiber - most processed foods don't. If you don't have enough fiber to absorb the poisons your body is trying to get rid of, they may be re-digested and cause other problems.
Controversial Cures That Work
There are a lot of "cures" offered by a lot of MD's and a lot of others called "quacks" by Big Pharma and "brainwashed" MD's. It's pretty difficult to pick and choose. I've waded thru a lot of info on the subject and I can give you my opinions and the theories I believe in that work better than poisonous radiation and chemotherapy.
A new cure from an "old" (and cheap) chemical. One of the latest is a simple cheap chemical - dichloroacetate, DCA for short. Here's the problem - it isn't patentable, so no Big Pharma company will spend the million bucks to get it tested and certified when anyone can simply buy it - no profit, and only loss to that company - Does Big Pharma care about curing cancer - not if it can't make a profit. There is even a story about one Big Pharma company actually hiding this cancer "cure" for years trying to find a way to patent it or a substitute.
Canadian scientists tested this dichloroacetate (DCA) on human cells; it killed lung, breast and brain cancer cells and left the healthy cells alone. It was tested on Rats inflicted with severe tumors; their cells shrank when they were fed with water supplemented with DCA. Since it has been used medically for a long time in treating metabolic disorders. So, there is no concern of side effects or about long term effects. To read the Canadian report on DCA, go to:
http://www.dca.med.ualberta. ca/Home/index.cfm
If you google "Purchasing DCA", you can even buy it on line.
NEW CURE FOUND BY ITALIAN MD. A Dr Simoncini, in Italy got cures in days by injecting cancer tumors directly with sodium bicarbonate. Of course, he's been accused by MD's everywhere as a quack, but it seems his method works, although there is still a lot of controversy about it. For more details, Google Dr Simoncini.
VITAMIN C USED AS A CURE. H.L. Newbold (an orthomolecular psychiatrist) wrote a very interesting book "Vitamin C Against Cancer" (published by Scarborough and probably available thru your local library on order). In this book, he tells of the experiment that was conducted by Linus Pauling in Scotland. 1100 persons were selected that were all "terminal" from cancer. Terminal in this case means that they had 3-6 months to live. Then, out of this 1100, only 100 cases were taken at random and these patients given no other therapy than 10 grams (10,000 mg) per day of vitamin C.
At the end of a year, all 1000 "control" patients had died. BUT, wonder of wonders - over half of the 100 taking vitamin C still lived. What's more, some of these had complete remission of their cancer! And they didn't know (at that time) that vitamin C has no, or little effect, on cancers mediated by hormones.
I read this book around 1982 and since I had read other books by Dr. Newbold, I respected his writings and of course, I've always respected Dr Pauling - the only two time winner of Nobel Prizes.
So, a few weeks later, a man came to me with a terminal case of colon cancer. He was in his 50's and he had come to me for a hypnotic tape similar to Dr. Simonton's hypnotic cures of cancer. (This book is listed on the resource "books" page.) He didn't believe the vitamin C would do him any good. I persuaded him to read the book and lent him my copy. He did and he also got the hypnotic tape I made for him.
Three months later, he came in to my office again. Not for therapy, but just to thank me for saving his life. He had had to go to 60 grams per day to reach "bowel tolerance", but between the Vitamin C and the hypnotic tape, he was in complete remission. My thought is "If it works for even one person, it ain't quackery".
ALOE VERA CONCOCTION USED AS A CURE. This is a recent find in the literature. It is also fairly harmless, so I'm including it here. The origin is a Franciscan Friar, called in Bethlehem (Brazil), Fray Romano, of Brazilian origin. Present teacher of the seminary of Bethlehem.
The recipe is as follows:
one quart of pure honey of bees.
Two (2) large leaves or three (3) small/medium ones of Aloe Vera
Three (3) spoonfuls of cognac, whiskey, tequila or brandy (this is used as a vessel dilator)
Wash the leaves of Aloe and cut the thorns from them. Do NOT take off the skin of the aloe. Next cut the leaves in small pieces. Place all ingredients into a mixer and blend until it forms a viscous paste. It does not require refrigeration, but do so if you wish.
Take a tablespoon three times a day, 15 minutes before eating meals. . Do this for only 10 days. You may see some skin "abscesses" while taking this and this is actually a good symptom.
JIM HUMBLE'S MMS CURES CANCER This is a new one to me, and I haven't researched it, only looked at the website, so cannot give much information about it. Google "Jim Humble" to research it yourself.
Here's another one that I haven't researched that might be an answer. Developed by Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD is a comprehensive diagnostic system using changes in muscle tone to diagnose virtually any systemic problem within the body, including cancer. It seems to be similar to Kinesiology, or muscle testing, but done with instruments. Dr Klinghardt calls this Automatic Resonance Testing (ART). This system has been used in Germany successfully.
Here's another new one to me (May 2011). Dr Von Hilsheimer swears by raw organic young carrots, claiming that they are very efficient. To my surprise, he found the following references on this cancer "help" if not "cure". Simply google "Carrots and Cancer".
Dr Von also gave me www.cancerdecisions.com
Ralph Moss, PhD, who does the website is writing about mistletoe (Viscum albumi) which has been used by European oncologists eagerly for years (40% of French and 60% of German cancer patients received the mistletoe extract FOR THE LAST 90 YEARS). It would seem that there are lots of cures that don't depend on Big Pharma (which has to be better).
If I had cancer of any type I'd be eating carrots, taking huge amounts of vitamin C (to bowel tolerance), making the Aloe and honey concoction, and taking DCA as well. How about you?
The editorial today is not mine, but is an excerpt from a book by Gracelyn Guyol. The book is "Who's Crazy Here?" and available from Amazon. This part of the foreword mirrors almost exactly my feelings about Big Pharma and the US Health"Care?" The rest of her book is about various cures. I Heartily recommend it.
Insane Health Care Costs
United States health care costs hit 2.5 trillion in 2009, exceeding 16% of the Gross Domestic Product. Roughly half this expense, 1.2 trillion. is paid for by taxpayer-funded government programs! As the world's most expensive and envied medical system, one would assume We're getting our money's worth. Several measures indicate otherwise.
The U.S. Spends $7,026 per person for health care, compared to $4,056 in France, $3,912 in Canada, and $2,690 in Japan. What is our stellar outcome?
In the US, life expectancy is 77.9 years, compared to 81 years inn Canada and France. The Japanese who spend the least and emphasize prevention live to 83.
The World Health Organization (WHO) ranks the US 37th among nations in overall health outcome, on a par with Serbia. Using infant mortality as a measure ranks us 29th, tied with Slovakia (and going down). This subjective system represents an outsider's perspective.
An insider's view isn't so great either. Sixty percent of Americans remain perpetually ill because Western medicine only treats the symptoms of an illness instead of addressing underlying causes that when resolved bring recovery. A couple of years people in the US were filing for bankruptcy every 30 seconds due to medical bills, something unheard of in other country.
Who's crazy here?
Those of us diagnosed as crazy represent a particularly lucrative market. Mental Illness is our most costly medical condition exceeding that of all cancers combined. Between 1996 and 2006, treatment for mental disorder rose from $35 billion in 1995 (measured in 2006 dollars) to nearly 58 billion, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
After 60 years of increasing psychiatric drug use, most doctors are not taught other ways to treat mental disorders. YET 50% OF PATIENTS DO NOT IMPROVE AT ALL ON THESE PRESCRIPTIONS. Of patients who sense some immediate benefits, half later go off their meds due to intolerable side effects. Embarrassingly, this leaves 75% of mental patients with no effective treatment, sick for life, often dependent on government aid.
Is the medical industry certifiable? Crazy, you see, is defined as repeating the same ineffective action for years with no results (while patients suffer). This drug industry apparently suffers from an obsession with profits regardless of he human costs. What ever happened to "First do no harm?"
In ad agencies on NY Madison Avenue, psychiatric pharmaceutical campaigns are known as "disease mongering", selling false hopes, hype and outright lies to continuously boost drug sales, as if they were just another widget, not something capable of destroying someone's life or future.
The game plan begins with leading the public to believe a minor or temporary problem is much worse or widespread than it really is. (One example was Valium, so widely dispersed it became known as "mother's little helper", until it's addictive qualities could no longer be denied. - another more recent one is the NIH1 flu scare that made billions for the holder of the Swine flu vaccine).
Then there is the existing condition that is redefined to make it a psychiatric disorder. Winter blues from a lack of sunlight are common, but calling them "Seasonal Affective Disorder sells more antidepressants. Then the third scam is creating a "new" condition - one of the latest being "compulsive shopping" (no joke) - and hiring psychiatrists to sell the results of "scientific research" created and funded by Big Pharma.
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) does its part, regularly rewriting the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (known as the DSM, the "bible" for getting insurance claims). This was first published in 1952, and had 112 mental disorders. The last edition had 374 with a checklist of symptoms broad enough to apply to anyone at any time of life. The latest DMS V will be even more and it will include something that could show you to be "mentally disabled".
Are we all crazy? (Yes, or we soon will be by definition of that DSM.
WHERE'S THE SCIENCE? Psychiatric diagnoses have never been made based on laboratory testing. They can be based on a 10 minute interview or chat with any one with an MD license. But, this DSM has become a bible used by physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, insurance companies, and even judges and juries. It can and may be very dangerous to your health and freedom.
Meanwhile, patient's lives are being destroyed and tax dollars wasted because these drugs never end mental ailments, they only treat symptoms, ineffectively and expensively forever.
According to Marcia Angell (former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine) in the "The Truth About the Drug Companies," the ten US drug companies in the Fortune 500 ranked far above all other US Industries in profits. In 2001, they showed an average of 18.5%. This compares to an average of 3.3% median of all other industries on that list.
40.5 billion in just mental drugs, most of which are ineffective, and at least half of them purchased with your tax dollars. Who Is Crazy Here?
---
(Here's Dr Bate's take on where those profits are going - They are used to fund re-elections and corrupt "our" representatives in Congress. They have been used to completely dominate the Food and Drug Administration, and more than "influence" the Center for Disease Control, thus the information that the President receives from these agencies is "corrupt" at best. Every 3rd year med student is given money, or gifts to "bribe" them. No major medical schools dare to teach much about vitamins and minerals for fear of incurring Big Pharma's "displeasure". If just the "truth" about vitamin C is known, it will cost that industry billions in profits. They have funded many "false" reports on just this one life saving vitamin.
Please - all my readers, wake up and smell the corruption involved in drugs. We need to speak up and form action committees.

Here are some excerpts from some of the volunteers in this near the end of the first month for most:
Thania: "This past two weeks have been amazing. I have been able to eat much better. And I find myself a lot less thinking on my symptoms. And even when I think of my symptoms, particularly on not being able to take a deep breath, I try to take a deep breath and I CAN DO IT!!!. The tension on my chest has decreased almost completely and helped me in taking my deep breaths. This situation was the most bothersome to me. I just can imagine how good I will feel the next 2 weeks."
Sharma: 1. Can sleep better now; i go to toilet 2 times in morning and once in evening only.
2. When i wake up i am more confident, it takes me 1 hrs and 15 minutes to get ready for work. I have stopped cleaning toilet walls. My target is to cut this to 45 minutes like normal humans, Still can't press my clothes as i get afraid that clothes will touch here and there.
3. Sexual obsessions are 2-5% less; still i get afraid with normal things in life, like closing a jar in kitchen, switching off gas stove, doing laundry, closing door lock, i feel something happens in my stomach, than i get into repeated loop.
4. I have been going to work and surving with this new job, atleast till now i didn't got any scolding from employer
5. My family members who were adamant to take me to some black magician have stopped, they have left me to myself to get cured
Kathryn: To update, my depression still persists; although ever so slowly, my mood is improving.
Genvieve: I am sleeping deeper at night it feels like, though I still can't sleep without the medication at a very low dose and it still takes me a very long time to fall asleep, (more than an hour most nights). My mood has been better on average and I have not had any major melt downs in the past two or three weeks. I am feeling happier and more at ease than I have in a while.
Bev: Changes in Major Problems past half month: reduced hydrocortisone from 30 mg to 25 mg. Reduced T3 from 120 mcg to 100 mcg. IBS worsened due to trial of olive oil recommended by nutritionist.
(Me) after 3 months or so. My insulin is continuing to decrease, now down to about 12 units (24 hour type) daily. other sexual improvements continue, and overall health is very good.
Zinc and Other Nutritional Minerals
For some strange reason, zinc problems have come up to my attention this last week, and there seems to be a lot of confusion about it and some other minerals associated with zinc. So, that's my subject editorial for this week.
Zinc is a very necessary nutritional mineral. It is a vital component used in fighting infections and wounds. It is also heavily involved with the reproductive system, particularly for men. It's involved with the sensory systems of taste and smell.
Measuring Zinc Deficiency
There are several mineral tests used to measure nutritional and toxic minerals. A blood test measures what is in the blood at the time of drawing the blood. A urine test
(best if taken over 24 hours or so) will show up what is in the bloodstream over that period, and what is being "discarded". I used hair analysis, and that measures minerals over months or weeks, depending on the length of the hair used. Any of these tests will show up a zinc deficiency.
There's also a simple test that works well for lay persons. Simply take a good look at your fingernails and toenails. (Women have a hard time with this because their fingernails and sometimes toenails are covered with paint, so any white spots are not seen.
Any white spot shows a zinc deficiency at some prior time. Sometimes a horizontal white line may show up that shows serious deficiency and might mark a disease, or a wound, or something else like a severe menstrual period or excessive sex in men.
I once saw a woman who had "zebra" horizontal stripes delineating every menstrual period for several months. That showed a severe zinc deficiency, Zinc supplements quickly cleared u several problems it had caused.
A man loses a day's worth of zinc with each ejaculation or orgasm. This alone can cause impotency in some.
I once gave a talk that mentioned this to a Ladies Club, and the local health food store ran out of zinc the next day.
At the start of the menstrual period in women, their blood goes high in copper and lower in zinc. This ratio of copper to zinc is part of the PMS syndrome. If this ratio is severe, it can cause schizophrenia, or depression.
(Since every woman goes high in copper and low in zinc at the menstrual period, does this mean they are a "little bit" crazy?) Just kidding, but it is a possibility and does contribute to PMS at least.
There's yet another factor to consider here. There is a genetic factor in one family known as the Wilson Syndrome. This causes the uptake of copper to be many times normal, and this can cause real schizophrenia. Too many MD's don't know this, and may misdiagnose it and mistreat it. (I use ascorbic acid vitamin C to help lower the copper/zinc ratio, and I've had good results with several schizophrenics.)
Vitamin B6 is the vitamin that helps to absorb zinc better, and large amounts of it (along with the rest of the B complex) usually solves all PMS problems. See my web page on PMS for more info on that).
A loss of taste and/or smell can also signal zinc deficiency. Generally, the white spots are a much better indicator. But, again individuality is also a factor. Remember that you are similar in billions of ways to all humans, but you are different in hundreds or thousands, so that makes you different from every other person, even a twin.
Iron is also related to zinc and copper, and a deficiency in iron causes anemia, relatively rare today so not nearly as important for general health. A zinc deficiency can sometimes imitate an iron deficiency anemia in symptoms. If you seem to have chronic iron anemia, check your fingernails, or even better, get a good mineral analysis.
Thyroid Measuring and Solving
Most MD's use blood tests called T3, T4 and T7 to determine thyroid activity in patients. They then compare these blood readings to what is called "normal" ranges and if the blood tests fall into these ranges, the patient is told they are "normal" or "OK". Since everybody is INDIVIDUAL, that doesn't always work.
One of the reasons why three tests are used is because none of them are very accurate. I have seen many persons who were told they were in the "normal" range, but when they test themselves with the test below, they were found to be very hypothyroid (low in activity, or highin a few cases. My late wife was high, and her skin temperature was so high that cuddling was difficult for us at times.
Dr. Broda Barnes, a physician way ahead of his time, found over 50 years ago that the body basal temperature was a good indicator of thyroid activity, in particular, the body temperature on arising from sleep. He wrote a book about thyroid activity and the various ills and problems arising from low (hypo) thyroid activity.
I am indebted to Dr. Roy Kupsinel of Orlando Florida for introducing me to Dr. Barnes work and for various other helps he gave me while I was in practice there.
Testing Thyroid Activity
At night, shake down a thermometer - be sure that it is shaken down and below 95 degrees. Next morning, on awakening, put the thermometer under your arm with the bulb in the armpit with no clothing between it and the armpit. Leave it there for 10 minutes (use snooze alarm if you wake up to an alarm). Just drowse for that time lying still.
After 10 minutes, take the thermometer out and read it, writing down the result right away. (On waking, most people don't think clearly and might forget the reading). This is known as your Early AM Basal Temperature and the "normal" should be between 97.8 and 98.2. This reading taken by armpit is somewhat lower and somewhat more accurate than by mouth. If you have a low-grade infection this may read higher than your "normal", therefore if it is in that range above, you should repeat the above procedure every other day for a week or so. If a menstruating female, also do it on the 2nd and 3rd day of your period.
If lower than the range, you are probably hypothyroid and if higher, then you are probably either hyperthyroid or you may have an infection somewhere.
Just some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism can be: depression, low energy, fatigue, many infections, chronic headaches (also check corn allergy), circulatory problems, Chronic skin problems, poor memory and/or concentration, eczema, psoriasis, excessive weight, irregular menstrual periods, neuroticism, irritability, hair loss and lots more. Also, if the outher 1/3 of your eyebrows doesn't grow, hypothyroidism is probable. The book by Dr. Broda Barnes is excellent.
To treat hypothyroidism, you can try to find an MD, or a DO, who will write you a prescription for Armour Natural, or Cytomel. Synthroid is what is mostly prescribed, but it has been linked to osteoporosis. There is also Lugol which has been found useful in conjunction with thyroid. Or, you can go to a good health food store and get a "glandular" that contains thyroid (along with other glandulars usually). Start with two glandulars/day for a week and use the above temperature test to determine if that is correct for you. I hope that this helps you with any thyroid problems.

It's only the first month report, and most haven't even had the CD that long, but the returns on the volunteer testing are living up to my expectations. Both of two longest users, the schizophrenic in India, and the severe depressive in Australia are both doing better. A woman with many thyroid and other problems has reduced her intake of hydrocortisone, is showing less problem with breathing ,another woman with Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is feeling less pain, and able to do more. The list of improvements is growing. It will be much higher on the 15th.
What's Happening to Me
As most readers know, I have been using my Neuroliminal Training CD's since I invented the first one in 2004. What very few know is what has happened to me (and others) during that time. And, even more to the point, what seems to be happening to me over the past month or so. (Not the romance part, but health wise.)
I have been using a new CD for less than a month. It has a third level of subliminal information and it is designed to be used for solving virtually any health problem using the unconscious or subconscious mind. This is much more than changing brain wave patterns and amplitudes.
At 83 years old, I have had the following (known) problems for years:
Allergies: wheat, ragweed, peanuts, soy (symptoms ranging from weight to hay fever, rheumatoid arthritis and various neuralgia in arms and feet.
All allergy symptoms have completely disappeared gradually over the past several years. None of those serious problems have shown any sign of reappearing.
High blood pressure and atrial fibrillation:
I have had atrial fibrillation since 1984. Before my late wife's death, I had cured my high blood pressure and atrial fib by using my SMR Plus NT CD and adding a metronome clicking found on the web just barely audible over the CD.
Then, her death brought back the atrial fib. About 3 weeks ago, I changed from the SMR PLUS CD to this new one, which I have termed "All Health". I have been adding to that new CD sound the metronome sound. It has brought my pulse rate down considerably, and the irregularity is very much less, almost gone. My blood pressure is staying in the "very good" range around 125/75.
Diabetes: Type II, controlled by Metformin 1 pill at each meal, and it was controlled pretty well. A year ago or so, I discovered that Metformin can cause damage to the liver, and switched to insulin.
Here's a real kicker - For several months, I have been taking over 20 units of insulin every night before bed. 2-5 units of plain insulin, and 20 units of 24 hour acting insulin. For the last two weeks, my insulin intake has gone from that 22-25 units of insulin down to just 12 -15 units, and has done so in spite of my eating way too much "seasonal" sweet stuff. (I've also gained 5 pounds in that period without much exercise.)
Not only those huge improvement in my overall health, but several other things I've noticed. I am walking everywhere now, and I hated to walk., only a few weeks ago. I used my old handicap sticker, and in the super market, or Home Depot, I used the handicap cart. Now, I don't, and actually get some pleasure out of walking and pushing a grocery or other cart.
Now, we get to the fun part. After my prostate cancer "cure" 10 years ago by focused beam radiation, I had problems with nerves in that area. I could urinate only by sitting down, and didn't always know when I had to excrete. Now, there is much more feeling in that whole area, and much of it has come since I started a few weeks ago on this new CD. I can now stand up and pee - Wow! Also, erections - Whee.
With the old one, I lost 75 pounds, and lost all my allergies BEFORE my wife's death. That was great, but with the new one, I'm actually seeming to grow younger in many little and some large ways. There is no 83 year old man I know with the energy and body health even close to mine today. I am literally much healthier and better in every way than I was 10 years ago.
Now, I have no way to prove that this "new" CD is doing all this for me, but I am pretty sure it is, and I want to document this with some very appropriate subjects over the "usual" 8 weeks of volunteer testing. I will accept a limited number of volunteers, and what I am looking for are people who are in very bad shape, either mentally or physically, and getting worse. I am most interested in the worst cases I can find overall. I want a good variety of different cases to give me documentation, and possibly show some guidelines of where limits might be. (I've found none for me so far.)
Right now, I have a schizophrenic in India, and a depressive in Australia, both of whom have almost given up. I want more of these difficult and different cases. If you aren't interested yourself, maybe you know of someone that might classify for this. If so, try to get them to contact me by email.
My "usual" volunteer testing is simple. If I accept a person, they pay a 50% discounted price of my $197 for "special" NT's ($93.50). (I have found out over the years that if someone pays for a test like this, the fee means that I get weekly reports. Otherwise, I don't get them. If the person is too poor to pay, I may only charge the shipping and handling fee of $7.0, or something in-between. (This is the case of the Indian man with severe schizophrenia.) If there are money problems, let me know. I want documentation much more than money at this point.
I will try to limit this testing to the persons who are admitted between now and February 1, 2011. I will be giving the results as we go along in this newsletter.

What Causes Depression?
All depression (and most other mental problems) is caused simply by a combination of stress and poor nutrition. A downward cycle with the stress requiring more nutrition, and the lack of it causing more depression.
There are two "hidden" sources of stress, and one other partially hidden. The two hidden (to most) are allergy stress, and toxic mineral stress. I've discussed these before.
Testing for these is difficult and few people know much about themselves in this regard.
Allergy stress is the most common, and the most difficult to test for, and even more difficult to solve.
Neuroliminal Training and Neurofeedback both solve this particular stress, albeit slowly. It can take a few years to solve ALL such stress, and the unconscious mind has it's own priority as I've learned over the years. Few people can afford Neurofeedback for this amount of time, so, NT, at it's single cost is considerably better.
The world is becoming more toxic with minerals affecting health and levels raising all the time. Autism is an epidemic in only a few years from mercury.
Depression from mercury is increasing as well as other minerals.
Toxic mineral stress is somewhat simpler to test for. There is blood testing which measures what is in the blood at the time to taking, and this changes by the minutes and hours. Urine testing, particularly collected over 24 hours, is more accurate. Being a PhD, and not an MD, I prefer hair analysis which is also not that accurate, but it does give a better picture of toxic minerals overall IMO.
If you think your depression is from any of the above, I urge you to go to http://drbate.com/Ref/articles.html
Download the article "Integrated 4 Part Therapy for Autism and Other Mental Problems." Read that, understand it, do it, and you will also solve any form of depression, along with two of it's worst symptoms, insomnia and anxiety.
Now, let's talk about a very different depression that is less understood by MD's. It's caused by hypoglycemia which is docterese for low blood glucose getting to the brain.
Many persons have the "sugar blues" a few hours after meals a lot of the time. It seems that sometime after eating sweet things, these people get a sudden dip in the glucose (blood sugar) as the stored glucose runs out, and the body tries to make glucose out of sex hormones.
It's called "Sugar Blues", or hypoglycemia. And it's not so hidden. This is often an individual reaction to the hypogycemic "dip" that occurs typically at some period after eating a high carb meal. This dip may make a person actually pass out, or come very close to that.
I wrote a paper for the Behaviorist newsletter in the early 80's showing that adult onset phobias were most often caused by that hypoglycemia dip, particularly driving phobias.
If a person is driving over a bridge, and they nearly pass out (not uncommon with this "dip"), they may develop a driving phobia to bridges or tunnels. Or simlpy driving.
Here's the physical side of this. You eat a very high carb meal. Humans are not designed (or evolved enough) to get that much sugar that fast, and so, your body releases insulin enough for three hours of sugar digestion, but it's all coming in less than one hour, so way too much insulin is released into the bloodstream "pushing" glucose into cells, and lowering glucose supply to the brain. (The brain lives on glucose and oxygen, and lack of either causes panic.)
The body counters with releasing adrenaline which then releases the stored sugar needed for the flight or fight response emergency. This works to counteract the too much insulin until the stored sugar runs out. Now, the body starts to change hormones into sugar for the "emergency". But this takes time, even several minutes sometimes, and the glucose supply to the brain is lowered, sometimes drastically. The brain can even shut down (fainting). Scares the hell out of you, and whatever you are doing may become associated with that scare, even creating a phobia.
If you eat an apple, it takes about 3 hours to digest it in the gut, and get all the sugar and nutrition out of it. The body senses it's an apple, and from experience, releases enough insulin to cover those three hours, and your glucose jumps for the first few minutes of eating, but fairly quickly goes back to normal, and stays there for the three hours.
Now, juice that apple, and get all the sugar immediately. This looks like a bushel of apples, and insulin is released to cover that much. Way too much, and the initial up turns into a fast down. Now, because glucose is essential for energy in the brain, several systems start to kick in. First, adrenaline, then converting fatty acids to glucose.
I's called hypoglycemia, but it's really hyperinsulinism. Your body released way too much insulin because it was fooled by modern technology.
This is the origin of "Sugar Blues", and it can happen to any one of us.
If you suspect that you may be depression after meals, or eating sweets occasionally, get a Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT). Do it for at least 5 hours, and check any and all symptoms whenever they measure. Also, there is a measured amount of the horribly sweet drink used, and too many MD's and hospital nurses simply give the patient the whole bottle. As a 6 foot man weighing around 200 pounds, I take only 6 ounces out of the 10. For a child, that bottle is way too much, and too many MD's don't know it.
If this should be even part of your problem, here's the way to solve it. Make up a ziplock bag with a bunch of peanuts (or other nuts) and raisins, about 4 nuts to every raisin. Every two hours after eating a meal, take a small handful of this mix, and eat it. The nuts give you long term sugar, and raisins give you short term sugar.
I once saved a marriage with that simple advice. He got angry with her every afternoon at work after a high carb lunch.
I hope that I've helped you and/or yours. Please feel free to copy the above and send it to friends or family. MD's don't recognize hypoglycemiaas as "disease" because it really isn't such. It's our diets that are wrong for our bodies.
--- Health News Digest
From Alliance for Natural Health - This message is important enough to re-print. Read it, and do something!! There's a lot of bribe money involved to various senators, and it can affect us all very badly. Please act now, or lose.
We're sorry to bombard you with emails, but time is of the essence as current negotiators on Capitol Hill hold the power to make the food safety bill law or leave it dead in the water. We wanted to give you a quick update on the Food Safety bill--or rather, the language from the bill, which Sen. Inouye included in his omnibus spending bill--but more importantly, we wanted to ask for your urgent help on this Action Alert. We are so close to victory.
A number of senators, mainly Republicans, decided to support neither the omnibus bill, which contained a lot of "pork" (funding for local projects with little or no national significance) nor the continuing resolution (CR) from the House (both of which contained the food safety bill language), but instead wanted a one-page CR that would keep the government open for the next two months.
So today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and others are crafting this short-term CR. It is unlikely that it will contain controversial provisions, because they want to bring it up under a unanimous consent agreement. If they tack on food safety, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) will oppose it, and then the CR would require a cloture vote and debate, which everyone wants to avoid at this late date. The likely scenario includes a controversy-free CR without food safety, which may be passed as early as Monday.
However, as we have seen, things change quickly on Capitol hill. There is still a possibility that food safety will be tacked onto the short-tern CR at the eleventh hour. In addition to our concerns over the food safety language, we are opposing any last-minute maneuver, any other back-room shenanigans, that might keep food safety alive.
If you wouldn't mind, we need one more push from people like you who have been fighting this so-called "food safety" bill from the start. Please send a message to your senator TODAY, even if you've done so before, to reaffirm your strong opposition to the bill's language.
