Mayo Clinic Hails Vitamin K2 for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

In the world of medicine there is no higher accolade than to be recognized by the famed Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. More than 3,700 physicians, scientists and researchers, and 50,000 allied health staff work at Mayo Clinic facilities in over 70 locations, treating more than half a million people each year.

In their own words.

“The Mayo Clinic is the first and largest integrated, not-for-profit group practice in the world. Doctors from every medical specialty work together to care for patients, joined by common systems and a philosophy of “the needs of the patient come first.”

A groundbreaking study from researchers at Mayo’s Rochester, MN campus recently found that people who have higher intakes of vitamin K in their diet have a 45% lower risk of developing Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Did you catch that? 45%!

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is a cancer of the immune system and is the most common hematologic malignancy in the United States.

"Rheumatoid Arthritis and God don't mix"

Today I want to introduce you to Mrs Liliana Prange. The two of you are going to become close friends, like she has with me these past few weeks.   Liliana is an extraordinary woman, fighting painful, crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis with grace, determination, humor and a firm, resolute belief in her body’s ability to heal itself.

This is the first chapter from her diary, published with her permission. Once a month we’ll publish her diary notes, recording her journey with us. This is your chance to “look over my shoulder” and witness me, my formulas and God in action.

Liliana Prange

“Losing my balance was the first sign of trouble. Then the pain set in. First in my hands, then my fingers wouldn’t move, my toes were glued together and my neck wouldn’t turn. Slowly, I was locking up and becoming a cripple.
The pain came over me like waves. The doctors put me on some awful, drug called “Arava” which just made me numb and turned my skin all yellow. I dropped that like a hot potato.

Then suddenly I couldn’t walk. I started using a cane, and then they put me on crutches, but I couldn’t even drag myself into church, the pain was so bad. My mother-in-law had two wheelchairs and gave me one to use so I could get to the park and enjoy the outdoors and  meet my family and friends. My husband could wheel me to my favorite chair at church. I kept praying of course, I always have. God didn’t send any of us here to be unhealthy or unhappy.

By chance, though knowing it’s all part of life’s plan, I got the name and phone number of a doctor who specialized in alternative, non-drug therapy. The story was that he’d saved a person’s mother from a bad heart, without surgery or drugs some 17 years ago, and she was doing just fine right up to this day.

Why is Fluoride in our water?

Are you being poisoned by Fluoride in your water?

For years there have been snippets of information coming out about the dangers of Fluoride in our water supply. The authorities dismiss these claims every time and insist “everything is perfectly safe.”

Danger: Flouride Toxic Poison photoThe latest information however refutes all this and is of vital importance to every one – particularly every mother of a growing child, because it has now been proven by years and years of research that Fluoride is highly dangerous and the missing link in birth defects and mental retardation in young children, as well as the epidemic of Alzheimer’s.

Professor A.K. Susheela, PhD., who has researched fluoride for more than 20 years and is one of the world’s leading researchers and experts on Fluoride in our water supply, says long-term studies show fluoride is a serious threat to public health.

With more than 80 scientific studies published in Western and Indian Journals to her credit, Dr. Susheela says that fluoride not only has been linked to increased rates of stillbirth and miscarriages among populations exposed to fluoride in water, but fluoride also poses a serious risk of birth abnormalities including mental retardation.

Dr. Susheela says the studies have shown that fluoride destroys:

  • muscle structure and muscle function
  • muscle energy
  • bone and teeth
  • red blood cells and blood vessels
  • the lining of the stomach and intestine

"Back from the dead with Vitamin D-3"

Today’s story comes from the desk of Dr. John Cannell, the world’s leading Vitamin D authority and head of the prestigious Vitamin D Council.

If ever you needed verification of the miraculous, life-giving powers of Vitamin D, here it is in black and white. Please share this article with everyone you know, it could very well save someone’s life.

Dear Dr. Cannell:
“My 71 year old mother is in the hospital diagnosed with Pseudomonas pneumonia. Because she also has COPD  (chronic pulmonary lung failure), along with years of Prednisone use, her doctors have given her only a 5% chance of survival.

The hospital is against patients taking any supplements without doctors orders (they kind of have a don’t ask/don’t tell policy on supplements), but they have prescribed her Vitamin C and Zinc. But they failed to prescribe any Vitamin D.

Under my insistence, six months ago my mother had her vitamin D levels tested and found out she was critically low. So she has been taking 5,000 IU a day since then.

But after finding out she had Pseudomonas, unknown to her doctors, I have been giving my mother 30,000 IU of vitamin D for the last 5 days (based on the studies I saw about Pneumonia and Vitamin D).

Mormon Bishop's Secret Cancer Remedy

While living and working with the Mormons many years ago, one of their bishops “took me under his wing” to help me understand their extraordinary culture.

We would sit for hours, sometimes days discussing the meaning of life through the Mormon perspective and I still treasure the wisdom he handed on to me.

One thing that really stuck with me was the Mormon’s amazing longevity and belief in God’s power to heal all disease.

As I was fighting cancer at that time, what Bishop Porter told me was a highly integral part to my recovery and also, incredibly rapid in its action.

He said that, “medicine was at its greatest when it was a cooperation of the human element with God’s great power to heal.”

Preventing disease with a robust immune system so that sickness could not occur was the bedrock of what he preached and practiced. Eager of course to get my hands on ANYTHING that would work for me, I pressed him for his greatest secret to preventing disease.

"Without my hands, I can't talk"

Can the fight against Arthritis have a happy ending? Even when your hands are frozen stiff and its excruciatingly painful to just lift a finger?

All of Italy wants you to read this story and rejoice.

Anna Marie Calabrese

“My name is Anna Marie Calabrese and I’m from Italy. My family is from the village of Toro in Compobasso, have you heard of it?

We all talk with our hands!

When we aren’t talking, we’re eating, and sometimes we do both at once. I raised my family around the kitchen table, eating and talking, that’s Italy.

Then my hands became frozen from arthritis. My fingers were like sticks. I couldn’t cook. And I couldn’t talk!

The pain was so bad that I couldn’t bend my fingers or make my pasta, my sauces or soups. It was so bad that sometimes I would cry.

Then my boy Michael told me about his friend Dr. Garland who had helped him. I refused to go to doctors – I don’t trust them. But Dr. G is different – a doctor who calls you back when you leave a message.

He listened to my story and said he’d fix me in no time. The man’s a saint. He sent me this bottle of pills in the mail – it was called “Celadrin”. My fingers moved again, I could hardly believe it. The pain disappeared in what seemed like just a few seconds.

Then a disaster occurred. I ran out! I didn’t want to bother my husband, he has so much to do, so I called Dr Garland myself and got him to send more of his Celadrin pills.

I was in tears waiting for the pills, but cried even more when the box arrived – because I knew my pain would be gone – and I could cook and talk with my hands once again.

Thank you Dr. G. This is a miracle, I’m going to tell the world.”

Vitamin K2 proven to lower cancer risk

A ground-breaking study was released this week documenting the Vitamin K intake of nearly 25,000 people, linking higher intakes of “the Forgotten Vitamin” with lower incidence of cancer, particularly lung and prostate cancers.

Wed, Mar 31 2010
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – People with higher intakes of vitamin K are far less likely to develop or die of cancer, particularly lung or prostate cancers.

A just-released study from Germany, reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, appears to be the first to look at the association between Vitamin K intake and the risk of developing or dying from cancer in general.

Vitamin K exists in two natural forms: vitamin K1, or phylloquinone, found largely in green leafy vegetables, as well as some vegetable oils, such as canola and soybean oils; and vitamin K2, or menaquinone, which are found in the most powerful form in fermented soy cheese called “Nattokinase”.

In the current study, Vitamin K2 — was linked to the odds of developing or dying from cancer, whereas vitamin K1 was not.

The findings are based on data from 24,340 German adults who were between the ages of 35 and 64, and cancer-free at the outset. The researchers estimated the participants’ usual vitamin K intake based on a detailed dietary questionnaire.

Over the next decade, 1,755 participants were diagnosed with colon, breast, prostate or lung cancers, of whom 458 died during the study period.

In general, the researchers found, the one quarter with the highest intakes of vitamin K2 were 28 percent less likely to have died of any one of the cancers than the one-quarter of men and women with the lowest intakes of the vitamin. That was with factors like age, weight, exercise habits, smoking and consumption of certain other nutrients, like fiber and calcium, taken into account.

Of the one-quarter of study participants who got the least vitamin K2, 156 — or 2.6 percent — died of one of the four cancers. That was true of 1.6 percent of participants with the highest intakes of the vitamin from food.
