Peskin Keeps Pushing The Envelope, This Time With Cardiovascular Research

Dr. David — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 19:00:39 +0000

Professor Brian Peskin, the engineer (MIT) who has been pioneering the use of a balanced Omega 6/Omega 3 supplement for cancer treatment and prevention in his book The Hidden Story of Cancer and his ongoing lectures, is now researching in the field of cardiovascular health.

Peskin caused many in the alternative medical community to rethink their position on cancer treatment, and especially prevention, with the aforementioned book. The work he did on Omega 6/Omega 3 ratios I thought was groundbreaking, and I suggest this book to anyone with a family history of cancer.

His latest research, with David Sim, M.D., and interventional cardiologist, demonstrates that the Omega 6/Omega 3 balance in the Yes parent essential oil supplement is also amazingly beneficial for cardiovascular health. The cardiovascular health of the subjects in the study improved significantly over the course of ninety months. In fact, the overall mean age of the subjects’ arteries, as determined by flexibility, was 8.82 years less than chronological (actual) age. I’m excited about the prospect of my arteries getting younger as I get older.

The Yes supplement is one of the most expensive that I carry, but I take it myself and consider it the best on the market. It is the only product available that has Peskin’s seal of approval. You will find it under Preventics on the website, Ask Doctor David, listed under Essential Oils & Fatty Acids as Parent Essential Fatty Acids.

Allergy Related Heart Problems (Angina) and Digestive Problems In A Sixty Year Old Male

Dr. David — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:48:41 +0000

In July, 2008, I was 59 years old and two months from my 60th birthday. I started having chest pains. I had such a bad pain one evening that my girlfriend took me to the emergency room. They kept me over-night for observation. My blood tests showed my heart enzymes were okay but I was experiencing a rapid and irregular heart beat that would come and go. The cardiologist told me I had blocked arteries and should go through an arterial catheterization and maybe have a stent put in or bypass surgery. This determination was made without any tests or scans to validate such a diagnosis. Having read books by Dr. Sherry Rogers, I was aware of safer options available to me. I opted for Chelation therapy and told the Cardiologist, who then told me I would be dead in 30 days.

Since then I have had 39 chelation treatments. I also paid to have a CTA scan of my heart which revealed only one occlusion of a branch artery of the LAD. My main arteries were okay. I believe Dr. Doom at the hospital was just trying to scare me into a procedure to make him a few bucks and lessen the quality of my life, just like Dr. Sherry Rogers warned.

Another health concern I’ve had the last 30 plus years is chronic heartburn and acid reflux. I tried to control it with antacids of all kind: Tums, Rolaids, Alka Seltzer, baking soda. When Zantac became an over the counter drug, I was all over it. It turns out that all those antacids did for me was give me leaky gut syndrome. They also ruined my stomach lining. My girlfriend, Elizabeth, had been telling me all along to stop taking antacids, but I didn’t listen. I didn’t know what to do until a friend gave me a brochure about a doctor that treated people with leaky gut and allergies by using a treatment called NAET. Elizabeth and I made an appointment to see Dr. David Beaulieu. That was October, 2008.

At that time, I was still experiencing frequent intermittent chest pains, Angina. Dr. David performed a muscle resistance test (MRT) to determine what foods, chemicals or other things I might be sensitive to. It turns out it was a lot of things. I started NAET treatments right away. After a few months of doing NAET I was still having problems with my digestion and frequent Angina. I was consistently having diarrhea soon after eating meals and Angina after exertion. Dr. David and his nurse, Betsy, were concerned that I was not responding to the NAET treatments like I should. I was given a more extensive MRT by Dr. David and it was determined that I had mercury poisoning in my heart. I needed to get my amalgam fillings removed immediately as they were interfering with my recovery.

I had the fillings removed by March, 2009. When I started NAET treatments again things started getting better. Dr. David has shown Elizabeth and me how to do MRT on ourselves. I’ve discovered that I have a lot of different allergies/sensitivities. I am sensitive to different combinations like certain carbohydrates with proteins, my laptop only when I attach headphones, and certain vitamins and supplements cause a reaction when taken together. I also had a reaction to toothpicks, and paper towels. I can eat corn chips and salsa and beer if I drink only certain types of beer.

My heart symptoms and digestive symptoms have improved tremendously but they still occur occasionally, associated with various allergies/sensitivities. We find the culprit, NAET fixes it, and the heart pattern is better until the next culprit shows up. As it turns out, the heart problem was mostly due to mercury toxicity and allergies. I’m certainly glad I didn’t agree to bypass surgery or any other invasive procedure. I have learned a lot about my body and health thanks to Dr. David. I am now taking the vitamins, enzymes and other supplements I need plus eating a more healthful diet.

I don’t know if I will ever fully recover from my health problems because some of the damage is probably permanent, but I know I have a much better chance doing so this way as opposed to conventional medicine. I’m doing just fine without hardware in my arteries and life threatening drugs in my system.

An Update On The Importance Of The Good Fats, Or How Fat Foils Cancer

Dr. David — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 20:49:59 +0000

In the last few years, some very important research has revealed a major underlying cause of cancer and how to prevent it. This new information also provides new answers to our present epidemic of heart disease. To begin this discussion, first a brief review of the essential fatty acids. They’re called essential because, if we don’t get them in our diet, we will eventually get sick and die.

There are two essential fatty acids, Linoleic acid and Alpha Linolenic Acid. Linoleic Acid and its derivatives make up the essential fatty acids referred to as the Omega 6 family, and Alpha Linolenic Acid and its derivatives make up the Omega 3 family. The media is full of information about the Omega 3 derivatives (Eicosapentanoic acid and Docosahexanoic acid), but they don’t tell you that, if you get adequate amounts of the parent oil, your body will make all the derivatives it needs exactly when and where it needs them. The only exception to this is when there is a rare enzyme deficiency that hampers the conversion process, and that can usually be managed by increasing the intake of that parent essential oil.

The Omega 3s

These products are the stars of the media circus around the essential fatty acids (EFAs). It seems like everyone is selling a superior fish oil these days. Although these EFAs are especially important in growing children for healthy brain development through the formative years, they are much less important in the adult. If we keep in mind that the brain is 60% fat by weight, having adequate EFAs for brain development is obvious. In infants and children, the brain is in a state of rapid growth and development, whereas in adults, the need for these Omega 3 EFAs decreases enormously. Although all our organs and tissues need the Omega 3 EFAs, compared to the requirements for brain healing and development, the need is small.

The Omega 6s

These EFAs are the real unheralded heros, but they are in such abundance in the diet that they get short shrift in the literature. Unfortunately for us, our FDA has allowed food manufacturers to process these Omega 6 EFAs to eliminate spoilage and increase shelf life. Many manufactured foods that contain processed EFAs can sit on a shelf for years without spoiling: the Twinky is a good example. The Omega 6 family of EFAs are the most abundant in our diet, and now we know that they are also the most important. It’s the adulteration/processing of these Omega 6 EFAs that plays such a huge role in cancer.

The Ratios Tell The Story

What really matters is the ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3, not only in the brain and nervous system, but in all of the body organs and tissues. In the brain and nervous system, the ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 EFAs is one to one. In every other organ and tissue, the Omega 6′s are much more important. In muscle, which makes up about half of our adult solid weight, the necessary healthy ratio is between seven and eight to one, Omega 6 to Omega 3. In lining tissue, that would be skin, sinuses, lungs, stomach, small & large intestines, urogenital system, joints and the lining of the blood vessels, etc., the ratio is one thousand to one, Omega 6 to Omega 3. That’s correct, one thousand to one, Omega 6 to Omega 3.

Where’s The Fat?

Of course we know that fat can be found in adipose tissue, but that’s storage fat, and when was the last time you heard of a cancer in adipose tissue? Exactly! So where are the rest of these EFAs found, and what’s their job?

The cell membrane surrounds the cell and then convolutes about throughout the cell contributing to its shape and size. This cell membrane structure is made up of an outer coating of protein, a middle layer of EFAs, and an inner layer of protein. That’s kind of like a sandwich with fat in the middle and protein on the outside. Fat also plays many other important roles, but for this discussion, the EFAs that make up the middle layer of the cell wall structure are the ones of interest.

These middle layer EFAs are the cells oxygen magnets. Otto Warburg, M.D., Ph.D., researched, discovered and published his findings regarding a major underlying cause of cancer as far back as the 1950s. This work is popular in Germany where he practiced and did his research, but is just coming to the attention of the establishment in this country. Warburg demonstrated unequivocally that lining tissue cells deprived of oxygen eventually begin to create their energy by combusting more sugar than oxygen, by the process of glycolysis. In time, this leads to a cancer cell. Although this sugar-cancer connection was established over half a century ago, most oncologists are still unaware of this research. Simply put, cancer lives on sugar.

Oxygen in the lungs is drawn through the lining of the lungs, the lining of the tiny capillaries in the lungs, and into the hemoglobin molecule within the red blood cell (RBC). It’s safe to say that this hemoglobin molecule has a very powerful attraction for oxygen. When that RBC reaches the lining tissue and again is squeezing through a narrow capillary, something must have a greater attraction for that oxygen molecule than hemoglobin to pull the oxygen from the RBC and into the lining tissue cell. The something that has this tremendous attraction for oxygen is fat. The EFAs that make up the middle layer of the cell wall structure are what pull the oxygen from the RBC, and in this case we’re talking about the Omega 6 EFAs, mostly the parent oil, Linoleic Acid.

The Crux Of The Problem

Once food is processed to keep its shelf life, the fat has been changed into a different form that no longer has an attraction for oxygen. One of the processes, and the most utilized until recently, was the hydrogenation of fat, converting healthy fat into trans fatty acids that have no oxygen attracting ability. Now that the consumer is becoming aware of the damage done by trans fatty acids causing cancer and heart disease, the big food processors have devised other means to preserve shelf life. Unfortunately, anything that interferes with the oxygen attracting ability of fat will be just as dangerous as trans fatty acids/hydrogenated fats.

How Big Is The Problem?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), eighty-five percent (85%) of the cancer found in the industrialized world is lining tissue cancer, or Adenocarcinoma. They make up the bulk of the breast, prostate, lung, sinus, mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon cancers, as well as most cancers of the urogenital system. Before World War II, when consumers ate mostly fresh foods and few processed foods, cancer was a much smaller problem. In fact, before the Second World War, relatively few people died of cancer. By 1971, the government declared a war on cancer, and now cancer has surpassed heart disease as the number one killer in the USA. Obviously, medical science isn’t winning this war, so if we want to protect our families, we will have to take action for ourselves.

What’s The Solution?

Well, there isn’t just one solution to reducing cancer risk, but a big contributor is reducing the processed fat we get in our diets. Given time and a good supplemental dosage of the parent essential oils the body will replace the damaged fat that has been incorporated into our lining tissue cell walls with healthy Omega 6 EFAs that have oxygen attracting capacity. This can take many months but is worth the effort. This is, very possibly, the biggest nutritional breakthrough since I started studying and practicing nutrition over forty years ago.

What’s The Test?

Obviously, we need a test to let us know we have accomplished our goal. Most medical tests are expensive, this one isn’t. Just pay attention to your poop. That’s right, if your stools float, it means a little bit of fat is getting through your gut and therefore not being absorbed. I usually suggest starting at four YES parent essential oil capsules a day for three months. If your stools haven’t begun to float, you increase the dosage to five capsules per day for another month. If they still don’t float you increase the dosage to six capsules per day for another month, etc. Once you get floating stools, you stay at that dosage for a month before cutting the dosage back by one capsule per day for a month. If after a month, your stools are still floating you cut back another capsule per day for another month. If your stools start sinking again, you simply add back one YES parent essential oil capsule until you once again have floaters. This way each person is adjusting his/her dosage to individual need.

Who’s Responsible?

Most of this work is the result of impeccable research by Professor Brian Peskin. Brian Peskin can be Googled. His books are the talk of the alternative/complimentary medical community and can be comprehended by most people with a solid high school education.

Availability

YES parent essential oils are available through Preventics and can be found on our price list, the order order blank and on the online order form – listed as Parent Essential Fatty Acids under Essential Oils & Fatty Acids. This product is still patent protected, so unfortunately Preventics is unable to have it made at a considerable discount.

Hopefully, in time, our purchases will become large enough to get a significant discount from the manufacturer, which we will then be able to pass on to you.

Soy, A Good Example Of Bad Government

Dr. David — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 20:29:41 +0000

Until recent years, soy was used almost exclusively as feed for farm animals. Monsanto controls soy production in the U.S., and has mounted a massive campaign to make it a human food. Don’t be fooled. An excellent book published in 2005, The Whole Soy Story, The Dark Side of America’s Favorite Health Food, by Kaayla Daniel, PhD, CCN, tells a whole different story.

I have been telling you about the dangers of soy for years, and now there’s this book that does true justice to the story. If you are going to feed your family soy products, please read this book because it could save your life.

The biggest push for soy consumption comes in regard to its reputed ability to protect against various cancers, breast cancer among them. However, there is no evidence that unfermented soy offers any protection whatsoever, and in fact, the facts point in just the opposite direction. Scientific studies very specifically show that unfermented soy increases cancer risk. In fact, unfermented soy is also linked to heart disease, reproductive disorders, digestive problems, malnutrition, thyroid dysfunction and cognitive decline. Soy is particularly damaging when used in infant formulas.

The powerful companies behind soy have bought and paid for our congressmen with their lobbying dollars and have managed to get some of their employee’s promoted into top positions with the FDA. That is how they have managed to keep the research that is negative to soy from the public, which is exactly how they did it with Aspartame, the artificial sweetener that’s more dangerous than sugar.

Why You Need To Supplement Your Diet

Dr. David — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 04:05:35 +0000

As you age, your body’s metabolism changes from optimal in youth to good in middle age to rapidly declining in old age. Your vitamin and mineral needs also change from minimal, to moderate, to critical. The good news is that if you keep the amounts of vitamins and minerals within your body at levels associated with youth and vigor, you can experience youthfulness into your elderly years.

It has been demonstrated that even if you have begun to slip into the chronic disease patterns of aging, it is possible, to a very large degree, to reverse the process with proper nutrition. What better reasons could you find to supplement your diet?

When you age, you generally decrease your physical activity and metabolism. Unless caloric intake is also decreased, the end result is obesity, which in itself increases the risk to cancer, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, diabetes, etc. With reduced caloric intake, supplementation is vital in order for you to get adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals with the decreased amount of food. This becomes even more important when, according to the latest scientific literature, you can’t get the recommended daily amounts (RDAs) of many essential nutrients at normal caloric intake levels.

To address these problems, I have established a basic vitamin and mineral supplemental program that I feel offers optimal support for various age groups based on what is known about decreased metabolism and increased micro-nutrient needs. Some people with increased vitamin and mineral needs brought about by chronic illness require additional amounts of very specific nutrients added to this basic program. However, people of average health do very well on a good basic supplemental program, with emphasis on anti-oxidants (anti-aging vitamins) like Vitamin C and Vitamin E, such as that found in the Basic Self-Help Supplement Program chart.

The scientific literature is emphasizing that as we get older, we need continually increasing amounts of virtually all of the essential micronutrients. This area of research is now called anti-aging medicine. It is getting a lot of attention because so much can be done inexpensively to produce remarkable results, and you the public, are demanding it.

Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.
